From Bayou DJ To Viral Cajun Comedy And The Real Work Behind Social Media

Someone at Walmart recognizes you and asks, “You get paid for that?” and suddenly you’re trying to explain the internet economy in the checkout line. That’s where our chat with DJ Rhett starts: the funny, awkward reality that being a viral Louisiana content creator can look huge from the outside while the actual TikTok payout is… not huge at all.

We talk through Rhett’s full path, from growing up down the bayou and falling in love with music, to DJing school dances, performing, and eventually building audiences on YouTube and Facebook long before “content creator” was a job title. He shares what it felt like to hit big numbers, how fast the algorithm changes, and why you have to create for more than money if you want to last. We also get into Cajun comedy, character voices, and the difference between an authentic accent and something that feels performative online.

Then the conversation takes a turn into the wild side of visibility: ugly comments, internet beef, fake accounts, and a catfishing scam that got scary enough to involve a restraining order. It’s a reminder that online safety is real life safety. And because we’re us, we also settle important Louisiana questions like gumbo thickening traditions (file, okra, tomatoes, roux) and why pastalaya is his personal villain.

SPEAKER_06 1:06

If y'all have never heard of the Best Stop, they have several locations um around Lafayette, Louisiana area, but even a couple in Texas. It is Boudin Crackland specialty meets. Uh the one in Karen Crow specifically, I know has breakfast stuff. Like I'm just learning this. Because I mean, I don't go out of my house for breakfast. I work from home mostly.

I need to go get that though. Oh no. It's a fan favorite. Barbecue burgers, chili cheese dog, red beans, and rice, just whatever you can think of over there, apparently. And some nice burgers with sourdough buns. You know how I feel about sourdough.

SPEAKER_06 2:08

All the things. Okay, so if you're around this area, they are it's a Lafayette address, but it's really in Carrancrow. Okay, it's on the through way, um, the service road, next to Prejan's restaurant. I mean, that would be a good a good little day for you to make lunch at Prejan's or stop at Best Stop and then go to Yeah, but you could take some home to your family, and then you can get some frozen sausage and bring that home. Yeah, get you some specialty meats, bring in artists.

SPEAKER_06 2:46

Okay.

Bayou Roots And Music Beginnings

SPEAKER_07 2:47

All right, we j ready. Where are we gonna get started with this? Oh, we have so many weird questions for you. But I don't want to start at the beginning. I'm ready. Where did all this start? Tell me about yourself.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

Well, we gotta go back to 1977 when I was born.

SPEAKER_06 3:03

Born on the bayou.

SPEAKER_03 3:05

Yeah, no, I was uh I was born and raised in Homer, Louisiana, but my whole family's from Chauvin, which uh Terrebonne Parish. If you if you look at the map, it's like the big toe on the uh on the Trent booth, you know that's where all the way down there. Yeah, the big toe. So uh I grew up in Chauvin, Louisiana with my papa and my mama and all down there. Uh he was a commercial fisherman, he was a trawler. So I lived on the boat when I was a little boy. And so I mean he taught Cajun French, he did all of that stuff, and I just I wish I would have paid attention a little bit more. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I wish I would have. Uh, because you only know like, you know, the dirty words and the you know, here's and there's and the tête d's and all of that stuff. But um uh my papa was uh uh a musician, so I was always intrigued with music. So when I got a little older, um he tried to teach me guitar and I had no patience. I was like, uh can't do it. So I started DJing. So hence DJ Rhett came out.

SPEAKER_06 4:04

That was in high school, yeah. That was in high school, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:06

I started DJing when I was 14 years old. The little kid dances. I don't know if y'all had that over here. Yeah, with the that they don't have that no more.

SPEAKER_07 4:12

No, they don't have that no more. It's like you pay five dollars and you go to the dance. Yeah, yeah. You know, my mama came with me. We went in our pajamas sometimes. It was like a theme. Yeah, it was like a lock-in.

SPEAKER_06 4:23

They call it a lock-in where like you go with the kids off, and nobody's gonna do it.

SPEAKER_03 4:27

We did lock ins like at the skating rinks and stuff like that. But but we like these these were like at the KC home or the uh you know the local uh rec center.

SPEAKER_05 4:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:37

And we would from seven to ten, you go and I I was the DJ over there like every Friday night. So started doing that stuff, and then uh and then when I got into college, I started doing the mobile disc jockey stuff.

SPEAKER_01 4:48

I'd go to all the clubs and the techno stuff and all of that.

SPEAKER_03 4:54

Yeah. I grew up in that era, so um did that, and then uh then I decided I wanted to be in a band, so I started singing with my uncle, who uh my papa taught him how to play the guitar. He was more patient with it than I was.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Yeah, you got it.

SPEAKER_03 5:09

I started doing that, and then uh well, no, we did top 40 musics and stuff. It was crazy because we had two singers. We had a black singer and me, the white singer. I did all the rap and he did all the country, so it was like it was it was funny. It was it was funny.

SPEAKER_07 5:24

Bring it up. We need video for that. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:26

I got I got some songs. I'll send y'all some songs uh that I used to sing. Um and then uh then social media came around in 2000. Well, I got on MySpace in 2004, and then uh opened up a YouTube account in 2006. And you've been doing this a while. Yeah, I've been doing it a while. Cool.

SPEAKER_06 5:44

You have a lot on YouTube.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Yeah, YouTube is like 125,000, I think.

SPEAKER_06 5:48

That's that's big. We're struggling to get 10,000. Yeah, we struggle.

SPEAKER_03 5:52

It it's hard. I mean, look, uh like I like I said, I started in 06 with YouTube, and it took me that long to get 120. Yeah, yeah. Um, I mean, unless you're somebody like you know, a steel cracker or somebody like that that like just pops off really like and you just yeah, you just never know these days what what's gonna take. I don't know what the formula is anymore of going viral and all of that stuff. It's just it's crazy.

SPEAKER_06 6:15

It changes too much. Like when you think you know what it is, it it changes.

SPEAKER_07 6:19

So you might as well just sign like super low effort and then post it and then oh all of a sudden that's great. And I'm like, oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 6:25

And then right now with everything changing with Facebook and everything, it's like it's it's so hard to like get motivated to put like a video out there that you're only gonna pay get paid 30 cents on now.

SPEAKER_06 6:34

No, definitely it definitely can't be all about the money because I I think it's so funny. Uh a lady at Walmart, I was checking out, and somebody had recognized me and they and she said, Oh, you make videos? I said, Yeah, I do stuff online or whatever. She said, You get paid for that. And I'm like, I don't know how to answer this. It's not what you think it is.

SPEAKER_07 6:55

Like, yeah, I get paid for it, but you know everybody's like, Oh, you got all that TikTok money. I'm like, I got paid$40.

SPEAKER_02 7:01

Yeah,$40 this month. I got it today.$46, I got today.

SPEAKER_04 7:05

Today was payday for TikTok. Oh man. Oh man.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

$46. But no, and then um I just started putting all like I used to do stage stuff all the time in the band or DJ and just and I used to crack jokes. I used to MC, I used to do all that stuff. And then I started putting it slowly but surely on, you know, well, Facebook came out. I got on Facebook in 09, I think, and I didn't go viral on Facebook until 16. So it it and I would put all kind of stuff. But when you went viral back in like the like early 2000s, mid 2000s, like you were on everything. You were on the radio, you were on Good Morning America, you were on you know, you were on everything. So my first yeah, my first video was the We Are the World video face swap thing that I did with all the 80s uh stars. That had 37 million views in 2016. Holy Moses.

SPEAKER_07 7:56

What did that look like? That they had reels back then, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

Well, I mean, you know, they go scrolling reels, I guess it was. It was it, I mean, it was just post on your nobody it I don't think it was it was on my personal page, like Rhett Lacorn. It wasn't on a DJ Red, but after that video went viral, everybody's like, you need to do a a like page. And I'm like, okay. So that's when I started DJ Rhett. Like two weeks later, after the 35 minutes that I missed out on all that traction, and you know I don't even know if they monetized back then.

SPEAKER_06 8:26

No, they didn't. So it wasn't. No, they didn't, you know.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

They didn't start monetizing until about 1920, like right around COVID, then when they started monetizing.

SPEAKER_07 8:35

When that's when everybody wanted to become content creators. Everybody usually says, Well, during COVID, you know.

SPEAKER_06 8:41

Yeah, like Brits Cooking, you know, started during COVID. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:45

Everything we liked it again. Well, I see I was on Facebook. I started Facebook and I was on there, and then everybody's like, You need to get on Snapchat.

SPEAKER_06 8:52

I'm like Another thing. Another thing.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

So I got on Snapchat, and then I was like doing the you know the filters, the deer face and all of that stuff. And then that was kind of popular, and then I started moving it a little bit toward Facebook, and then it got blew up on Facebook a little bit. And then during COVID, you gotta get a TikTok.

SPEAKER_06 9:09

I'm like, oh no, I was against it. Yeah, I was so against the TikTok. I said, that's owned by China, yeah. That's gonna get all my information. And she's over there, like, you don't think Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook got all your information already?

SPEAKER_07 9:22

I was like, You don't think the iPhone gives all your information? I mean, so uh not for quite a while.

SPEAKER_03 9:29

So I started getting on TikTok, and when I got on TikTok, I noticed a lot of Cajun influencers on TikTok, and I was like, okay. So I just started messing with them a little bit. Like, that's not how you say that. That's not how you say that. And just playing, I call stirring the pop. You absolutely stir the pop. And it's all in good fun. Oh, I'm gonna go. And uh, but they got some people that like like they blow up their chests in the in the world. Yeah, I'm like, come on, dude. Like, this is like it's not meant to be like serious at all, but uh, but yeah, they got some people out there that don't get the joke.

SPEAKER_07 10:02

So and you know, it's when when I see it, I'm like, oh boy, don't know what he's talking about. When we went to uh Ocajan comic relief, we was we was laughing, we was laughing, and then you showing the boot and then you threw us away. I said, Oh hell no. But you just point out.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

I hit it off the top.

SPEAKER_07 10:25

Oh my god, we laugh, we laugh. But you know, like if you gotta I don't know, it's kind of like when you get a bad comment or whatever.

Going Viral Across Platforms

SPEAKER_03 10:32

Like it at first it hurt our heart, but now it's like I get that daily now. Uh in fact, I like the bad comments because we get paid for the engagement. So go ahead. That's what I tell me I suck all the time.

SPEAKER_06 10:45

If they say something ugly, I'm like, thank you so much for your comment, because now more people's gonna see what you think so much. You know, and usually people come to your rescue.

SPEAKER_07 10:54

Oh yeah, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

The U Real fans, they they go get them. They jump on them like ants, like on a piece of crumb. They get on top of them.

SPEAKER_06 11:03

But yeah, no, um it at first that stuff used to like mess withn't it crazy how you could have a hundred good and that one bad is gonna stay in your mind.

SPEAKER_03 11:14

Exactly all day, all day. And I'm like, how, and then now I like it used to bother me, and I I would delete it, and I'm like, you know what? No, I'm not gonna delete it anymore. And then I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get these people back. So I'm like, all right, what can I do? So I'm like, okay, I got it. So I go to their profile, and it's like they either have a cat as their picture as a picture. Or no profile picture. No profile picture at all, or I'll go find one of them. Because they usually at one point they posted something. I'll find it, I'm like, this is perfect. I'll just take a screenshot of their face and I put it right underneath their comment, and everybody's like, I don't say anything. I just put their and then people go, ooh, and they just go, they're like, oh my god, that's who said that? Yeah, the go get them, go get them.

SPEAKER_07 11:56

Or it's an AI photo of this beautiful woman. But then if you go through there, you know, it's like cat dash shot. That's not what you look like.

SPEAKER_03 12:06

Yeah, that's like some uh Possomi news out there.

SPEAKER_07 12:10

Talk about. Oh man.

SPEAKER_06 12:13

So I mean, that's quite a journey. You've got something at your hat. Um did you do the Thundermen news?

SPEAKER_03 12:20

No, I didn't.

SPEAKER_06 12:21

That was not you?

SPEAKER_03 12:22

No, okay, but you that's probably that's probably what started the whole 337 thing.

SPEAKER_06 12:26

Okay. Because we got beef.

SPEAKER_03 12:30

No, we got beef.

unknown 12:31

Okay, well, I don't know who that is.

SPEAKER_06 12:34

I'm not gonna say his name, but I'll tell you later.

SPEAKER_03 12:37

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I'll tell you after this. But no, what so what happened was like in 2016, I'll kind of give you the backstory.

SPEAKER_06 12:43

Yeah, please. Uh those, I mean, but you did some voiceovers, didn't you?

SPEAKER_03 12:46

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:47

So I just remember that's when I started watching him.

SPEAKER_07 12:50

And uh me and my husband would be watching it, and we just bust out laughing. Like, I can't give you one instant because we were like sending them back and forth to each other. Yeah. And oh my god. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

So if you it like if you go back on the timeline of Cajun influencers that kind of blew up. So the first one I would have to say is poopoo Bruce Ard. That's the first one that kind of just went powder. And then uh then it kind of went away. It was but it it it it happened from his blooper reels. Like he put that blooper reel out, and it would just it was so funny. So funny, hilarious. And then a couple of years after that, Nock Shaw's came out and he did the Cajun Onstar bit. And that went that that like had over a million views on YouTube at that time, and that was like That's huge. That's that's super viral back then, you know. Now a million on YouTube ain't nothing these days. It's like it's it's crazy how things change.

SPEAKER_05 13:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:41

Then he came out and but me and him came out right around the same time. So I was doing Cajun weather dubs. Yes. Okay, I was doing that, and then he was doing like the cartoon stuff. And then I was like, you know what? I can only do so many weather things. I said I'm gonna switch to movies. Because at that time, um NFL bad lip reading was popular, yeah, jib jab, all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_06 14:09

Misread lyrics of misread lyrics, all of that stuff.

SPEAKER_03 14:12

Yeah, it was popular on YouTube, so I was like, man, that would be funny to put like a little Cajun accent behind it, you know. Well, he was doing that with the cartoons, I was doing that with the weather dubs. I said, Well, I'm gonna do it with movies now. So I started doing it with the movies, and they blew, I mean, talking blew up. Well, he reached out to me. Oh, of course, and he's like, hey, and I'm not lying. He puts in the DMs, hey man, I don't want to compete against you, I want to collaborate. That was how his opening sentence. And I was like, and I watched this stuff before, and I was very nice and said, Hey man, yeah, cool, you know, let's do some stuff together. Okay, cool. So we did like two dubs together, okay, and then after that, he was just very demanding. He wanted like you're getting bigger, and I'm just staying here, and that like some crazy jealousy stuff, you know. And I was like, uh, okay, this guy's weird. You know, and then sure, you know, your producers can tell you uh tell you a lot more about that dude. But anyway, anyway, but he uh for old well still to this day, he still posts nasty stuff about me, my family, everything. Like he's just he's just one of those internet trolls that oh man, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 15:24

And you know, they're just gonna be there, I guess. Yeah, they're just gonna be there and you're just gonna pray for it.

SPEAKER_03 15:29

But but I mean, it it happened to where it was Pooh Pooh, um, Noxhaws, him, me, and then anybody that came behind, he went after.

SPEAKER_06 15:40

Yeah, that's what I had noticed is that nobody could do anything.

SPEAKER_03 15:43

No, Stale Cracker got it from him. Um who else? Cajun Ninja, uh Jason.

SPEAKER_07 15:50

Oh lord.

SPEAKER_03 15:51

He got it too. Like everybody gets it.

SPEAKER_07 15:53

And everybody's doing something a little different. That's the thing. I like I feel like there's room for everybody. Oh, yeah. You know, there's definitely room for everybody. Um, because everybody's everybody's content is a little different.

SPEAKER_06 16:07

That'll last. If it's too put on, if it's not real, that'll fit. It might get big.

SPEAKER_03 16:13

You mean like fake accents around here?

SPEAKER_06 16:15

Yeah. I just don't understand, you know.

Trolls Comments And Creator Beef

SPEAKER_03 16:19

No, let me tell let me tell you my theory on this. Let me tell you my theory on this, okay? I don't think it's fake accents, it's put on. Yeah, it's exaggerated. It's performative. Yeah. And like when I do my Cajun dubs, that's like nobody talks like that. They do have some way, way down the by people that do talk like that.

SPEAKER_02 16:38

For sure.

SPEAKER_03 16:39

But uh it's based on characters, like and like like Gambit was played by um Channel Tatum. That's a fake accent. Yeah, that's a put-on accent.

SPEAKER_05 16:48

Right, right.

SPEAKER_03 16:48

He don't talk like that. He's what he's from Mississippi, I think, or something like that. Channel Tatum. Yeah, he's from downside or Florida, somewhere around here. But um, he was close enough to New Orleans to where they thought it was appropriate to get him. But I think like when you when I'm doing my weather dubs, I'm like, well, we got a big old coupe nord that's coming down the bay of there, and it's gonna be a crisp 69, my favorite number, 69, you know, like stuff like that, you know, and it's like I don't talk like that, but we also do have that vague hint of accent. You know what I'm saying? Like, you guys have an accent. But when y'all do when y'all doing your mama talks, right? You put it on, you put it on.

SPEAKER_07 17:30

But we say we want to sound like your mama. We want you to that we want to bring you back to a time when you sat at a table and it sounded like a oh it sounded exactly like that, yeah. So uh, but you know, at first they was after us, and I'm like, yeah, it it's supposed to sound like that. And then when you listen to this, this is what it is, this is every day, you know, and I don't know. It just it it ate out of spa a bit, and we got it for a little while. Yeah, and now they don't come after us too much no more.

SPEAKER_03 17:57

They they did the same to me too. It is what it is, but they do that's their that's their angle. When you start getting popular and you start getting some followers and you start making some noise and you start getting recognized, you got the the same people to they put the bobby in on and they're like meh meh.

SPEAKER_08 18:13

Oh, yeah. Y'all suck, y'all fake, y'all this, y'all that.

SPEAKER_07 18:17

And I'm like, what I love about the start of the pot is that you can acknowledge that in a way that's funny too. You know what I'm saying? Like, I see you, I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing, and we're just gonna roll on with it. But you know, like so we all different.

SPEAKER_03 18:33

We we all Cajun, but we all different. Like we do different stuff down the bar than you than y'all do over here. Like, it's just like the jaw roux stuff. We don't do that down the bar. We never do it. And most of the time we don't even use a roux. Like when we make our gumbo, it's a ruleless gumbo.

SPEAKER_06 18:49

Like, remember you did a video on that and I was like, what? It's just like the meat gets browned real good.

SPEAKER_03 18:55

Yeah, real good. And you make an onion gravy is basically what you just smother your onions down. So onion roux is what they call it, and you just keep on, keep on, keep on. It's like an onion reduction. And the it where we from, g gumbo is technically like a soup, you know?

SPEAKER_06 19:11

I was gonna say, what thickens it?

SPEAKER_03 19:13

So uh filet will thicken it. Phileet will thicken it. That's how we so there's there's three different gumbos and three different areas where they came from. Now, this is just based on like stories that I've heard from uh mamma's papas on the internet and stuff like that. I don't know if it's true or not, but it makes sense to me. Down the bar, we used to do an onion roux, okay? That was the way we thickened it. We used uh the sassafrash root, the filet, like chopped up, that to thicken it. Creole, which is like more on this side, they they would use okra.

SPEAKER_05 19:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:45

Okay. Now okra would thicken up the gumbo, but also okra was so slimy that they would have to ball it, and it would take long for them to get the the snot. I called it the snot because that's what it looks like.

SPEAKER_06 19:57

Well, and doesn't the tomatoes help cut that down? Yes, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:00

That's where the tomatoes and the gumbo comes from. You know, so they it's just a different way. Yeah, it's a different way of making it. So uh Cajuns are like, don't put tomatoes in my gumbo because that's a reference to the Creos. Then New Orleans, the restaurants, they started putting flour in it because it thickened it up. They wanted something hearty, you know. So you got the roux gumbo over there, you got because the Cajuns did what they didn't have a piggly wiggly where they can go get uh uh you know some flour. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? So they used it. They used okra or they used the sassafras root to thicken up their gumbos. That roux was a commercial thing that came out later later on. So it kind of makes sense to me that way. So yeah, the whole tomato and the gumbo thing came from the Creole version. Uh Creos and Cajuns.

SPEAKER_07 20:46

There's really not I don't feel like it's a I don't feel like they're more like this is like as a Creole gumbo. Yeah, it's just whatever you grew up with, yeah. You know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:56

I don't really feel like and you see, I like okra in my gumbo when there's shrimp, like seafood, like a seafood gumbo. But you don't put okra with like chicken and like you don't do that. Like it's just there's different things.

SPEAKER_05 21:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:10

Like pastellaya, that's the same thing. Like, I'm like, I I go off on that crap because it's like, uh I never saw past laya until I went to Nickel State University. I was down the bar the whole time. We always had jambalaya. I go DJ over there and I'm like, what is that? Chicken spaghetti? And they're like, no, that's pastalaya. I went, who? Pasta laya.

SPEAKER_06 21:32

What's the difference between that and a chicken spaghetti? I mean, well, the chicken spaghetti will have like red and the pasta line is like a sausage and pasta don't go together to me.

SPEAKER_03 21:40

Like it's just it's weird.

SPEAKER_07 21:41

So like if you add the place, okay? Like, let's say if you just add the place or somebody invites you over before you is like, whoa, I hate pasta live. Would you have eaten pasta laya in your house?

SPEAKER_03 21:53

No.

SPEAKER_07 21:53

You just don't eat it.

SPEAKER_03 21:55

I would just eat whatever the helps.

SPEAKER_07 21:56

Like if my little cousin, if I go to his house and he says, I'm making pasta laya. I'm like, all right, eat pasta line, no big deal. It's what's being served. It's what's being served.

SPEAKER_03 22:04

I'm going to McDonald's.

SPEAKER_07 22:06

You're going to die on me on the hill. No vaginas, except for pasta line.

SPEAKER_03 22:11

Pasta line. Uh, it's gross. That's it's so nasty to me. And chicken spaghetti is nasty to me, too. Like it's just, it's weird.

SPEAKER_06 22:17

I'm not a fan of chicken spaghetti. Like my my dad and my brother. But like a fettuccine. Like chicken fettuccine. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:24

I can do that.

SPEAKER_06 22:25

So it's you're not against the pasta. You're against the combination of sausage and pasta.

SPEAKER_03 22:29

Okay, so one of the jokes I do, boudin. Y'all good at making boudin. Let's just say I take the rice out of that boudin and put some spiraled noodles in its place.

SPEAKER_04 22:39

No.

SPEAKER_03 22:40

And then I call it noudin. See how ridiculous that sounds? That's how pastalaya sounds to me. Oh my god. It's like in my head, like, oh, that's right.

SPEAKER_07 22:49

So you're not gonna eat it at the place. Nope.

SPEAKER_03 22:51

SPEAKER_03 22:54

And every every time I do a comedy show, like they'll have these food trucks that pull up and they make past laya on purpose because they know I don't like it. And they're like, yeah, and they give it to me, and I'm like, oh yeah. And I go, I pretend I'm out. Like when they're not looking, I just throw it behind my back.

SPEAKER_07 23:12

Oh man. I can't believe that. Oh man. That's so funny, though. No, I'm eating it if it's at the place. Disgusting. That's what I'm having.
