I mean, ain't nothing wrong with that either, but I'm gonna shoot them, like, once I really get where I want to get. I'm shooting them a commercial because they probably. They probably need some content. [00:04:49] Speaker B: Hey, yo, if you was in the flick, what would be your flick name? Think about that. We'll come back. Okay, T. What's. What's.

[00:05:22] Speaker D: So the sun burnt me if I got. [00:05:24] Speaker A: She worked it even though she had a partner. [00:05:26] Speaker B: That part Her. Her. You don't see her hanging on her leg. [00:05:29] Speaker A: That's why she pissed. [00:05:30] Speaker B: I'm trying to tell you. I am trying to tell you. [00:05:34] Speaker A: She called me like this motherfucker. [00:05:37] Speaker C: You don't even know who this is yet. [00:05:42] Speaker B: Pulled up, looking around like, is he the. [00:05:44] Speaker C: Where's the. [00:05:45] Speaker B: At points at the. There's a whole lot of. Over there. [00:05:50] Speaker A: It definitely is a whole lot. How about you, Key? How was your week? [00:05:53] Speaker C: I had a good week, bro. I was able to spend some time with my. With my family this week. My mother and my sisters, and. Which was cool for me, kicked it with my brother. [00:06:03] Speaker A: You got a favorite sister? [00:06:03] Speaker C: Do I have a favorite sister? [00:06:05] Speaker A: Ooh. Ooh. [00:06:08] Speaker B: That's crazy. [00:06:09] Speaker C: You know what? [00:06:10] Speaker B: Crazy. [00:06:11] Speaker C: Yeah, I do. [00:06:12] Speaker A: Oh, that's crazy. [00:06:14] Speaker C: I got a favorite sister. She like my second mother, and that's Kiara. Kiara, like my second mother. She like all of our mothers. She's even my mother's mother. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Is that why she's like your favorite sister, though? Because she gives you that motherly feel? [00:06:25] Speaker C: Both my sisters love me dearly. There ain't no question about that. But I don't know me. [00:06:31] Speaker A: Go ahead, go ahead. [00:06:33] Speaker C: Like me and Kiara kind of. She's the second born, so you know what I mean? [00:06:38] Speaker A: Y' all the closest in age. [00:06:39] Speaker C: Yeah, we the closest in age. So I think that's what a closer bond may be or whatever the case may be. By the time diamond came along, you know, my parents already had shit figured out. It was already stable and like that. Me and Kiara thugged it together a couple times. You know what I mean? [00:06:56] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:06:56] Speaker C: Stabbing baked potatoes, putting them in the microwave for seven minutes because my parents was at work. [00:07:00] Speaker B: You heard. [00:07:01] Speaker C: So that's my thugging. [00:07:03] Speaker A: It is. Do all y' all have siblings? Oh, y' all have. [00:07:05] Speaker B: You have a sister? [00:07:06] Speaker D: I have a. [00:07:07] Speaker A: You only got one. [00:07:07] Speaker B: I have one sister biologically, but I got people that's like siblings. [00:07:11] Speaker A: Oh, I was gonna say, do y' all have a favorite sibling? [00:07:13] Speaker C: Yeah, but I. I have. So if it's me and my. Me and my two sisters, we grew up together. And then I also have 1, 2, 4 other siblings as well. But other than that, you know what? I'm saying, like. Like I was saying, yeah, my week was cool. My week was actually good. Had a good week. Like, honestly, had a real good week. I've been in good spirits, excited about each day for no reason. Rainbows and glitter type. So, yeah, I've been. I've been. I've been cooling, bro. Went to Jazzy Summer night on Thursday. [00:07:51] Speaker A: What's that? First Thursday? [00:07:52] Speaker B: Yeah, first Thursday. Hey, man. Shout out to Jazzy Summer Nights. This is the last year. Yeah, they will be doing it. I think it's crazy that they didn't book DJ Big L, who's been a staple of. [00:08:02] Speaker C: He was there, though. [00:08:03] Speaker B: No. So of course he gonna be there. It's not the issue. Ain't between him and the promoters. It's another issue. But the fact that he's not booked as one of the resident DJs for Jazzy Summer Nights is insane to me because he's been a part of it every year. He's a huge staple to the event. But shout out to DJ Big. [00:08:21] Speaker C: That was that. [00:08:21] Speaker B: Shout out to Jazzy Summer Nights. [00:08:23] Speaker C: Went down there with my homeboys. That was a real good look. Had it. Had a ball down there. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Other than that. Like I said, you know what? [00:08:30] Speaker B: Be crazy about this. This say. He always say I, blah, blah, blah with my homeboys. Do you notice how we never involved in that? So. [00:08:39] Speaker C: All right, all right. So let me. Let me break it down. [00:08:42] Speaker B: That's all I'm saying. [00:08:43] Speaker C: I got with my. With Cory and then, you know, Cory. [00:08:47] Speaker B: I know what it is. I'm just talking. [00:08:49] Speaker C: I was about to really explain myself. [00:08:51] Speaker B: Like, explain yourself. [00:08:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:53] Speaker D: For the people who don't know what is jazzy. [00:08:54] Speaker C: So Jazzy Summer Nights is something that they do every first Thursday of the month. Starts in May or whatever. So it's like, so like. Oh, yeah, what's that Kinder Family. You know the song. Yeah, yeah, they gonna be there one week. It's an outdoor festival. So they have food vendors, Cherise Island Cuisine, all types of food trucks pull up. [00:09:24] Speaker B: All types of vendors pull up, cigar. [00:09:25] Speaker C: Vendors, of course, liquor, blah, blah, blah, so on and so forth. But it's an outdoor venue, this one. So it used to be at. What's that? Port Covington. [00:09:35] Speaker B: It used to be all over the. [00:09:37] Speaker C: Place, but now it's back to their original venue, which is Hopkins Plaza. [00:09:42] Speaker B: Right. [00:09:42] Speaker C: And it's an outdoor event. [00:09:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:45] Speaker B: So it's not always been an outdoor event. It's annual. Every summer they do it. It's first Thursdays of all. Of all summer months. The first Thursday of the month all summer long. [00:09:55] Speaker C: Yeah, I think they do the last one, like maybe like September. Yeah, yeah. The last one. [00:10:00] Speaker B: The first week of September. [00:10:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:02] Speaker C: You know what I'm saying? But it'd be a real good look. Real, real grown and sexy. [00:10:05] Speaker B: I've had the pleasure of working that event. They held it at my job for two years in a row. My job wasn't prepared for the amount of people. Horseshoe Casino. I'm a bartender at Horseshoe. [00:10:19] Speaker A: Yeah. I've definitely had some people hit me up about you. [00:10:21] Speaker B: But by the way, shout them out, too. Shout out all my people that show up. [00:10:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Keep showing up. I'll be back at the bar. Huh? [00:10:30] Speaker C: Today. [00:10:30] Speaker B: Oh, for real. That's what's up. Tell her I said, what's up? But I had the pleasure of working that. And I'm talking like three to five thousand people showing up in a matter of the first 30 minutes. No standing room type of event when it was indoors. So they had to move it back to outdoors. It was too much for an indoor venue. [00:10:48] Speaker C: And it'd be a real good look. [00:10:50] Speaker B: It'd be a real good look. It'll be a bunch of. [00:10:53] Speaker C: And it's over with early for those that work. But it's from like 5:30 to 10. [00:10:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:58] Speaker C: You know what I mean? But it's a real good look. In all the years I've been going. I've been going for six years. Get to see an altercation which is. [00:11:07] Speaker B: Well, I've seen the altercation only because I worked it like I worked the event. So I had a different view. Yeah. And it was. Yo, let me tell you how bad that altercation was. Real quick. Three seconds. I met the bar serving. Stop counting. Don't stop counting yet. And it's around. It's like a line of people waiting for drinks and is fighting behind them. But it is so many people, you don't even realize the is fighting behind them. You don't even see the fight because there's so many people in front of you. And it was like, oh, I think they fighting right there. Like, it was like that, like. And. And the security came, cleaned it up, got him out of there and kept the party going. Like it didn't happen. [00:11:44] Speaker C: People be real grind for the most part. [00:11:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I've heard about a few of the sheriffs at my job go down there and I've been hearing about it. [00:11:52] Speaker B: How was your week? [00:11:53] Speaker A: Actually, my week was pretty cool. It went by fast. Nothing too crazy. Yeah, it Was cool. [00:12:04] Speaker B: It was a cool week. For how fast these weeks move by. [00:12:08] Speaker C: Yo, that. That should be moving. [00:12:11] Speaker A: This is the crazy part, right? So I was. I think me and you had this conversation, but I was saying that there was a study done on why as kids time seems slower versus why as adults time seems faster. [00:12:25] Speaker B: Because we dread what's coming. [00:12:26] Speaker A: No, it's because I was dead wrong. You're not completely wrong, but it's because kids are more present. I feel that because when you were kid, you just much more remember. Like, I always have feel like eternity back in the day, like, I used to feel like forever. But now as an adult, the only time that we feel. We feel time pause is when we doing. We don't. [00:12:52] Speaker B: Like you walk around feeling on time. Yo, that's crazy. [00:12:55] Speaker C: Yo. [00:12:56] Speaker B: That's. That's. That's. [00:12:57] Speaker C: That's fair, bro. Like, I have my moments where I look, I'm like, God damn. [00:13:01] Speaker B: You know? [00:13:02] Speaker C: Cause I'll be in the moment. [00:13:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:05] Speaker C: Like you said that I gotta do. I'd be like. [00:13:07] Speaker B: So that's what I meant about we dread what's coming. Like, that's what I meant. [00:13:11] Speaker A: Completely wrong. [00:13:12] Speaker B: No, I feel you. Yeah, I feel why you say that. But it's like we know the. That we got to go deal with and when we have to go deal with it. So it's like whatever I'm doing, I'm just biting time until I have to go deal with this. [00:13:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:13:24] Speaker B: Okay. Whether it be work, whatever. [00:13:25] Speaker A: It is so pretty. [00:13:26] Speaker B: It's some bullshit. [00:13:27] Speaker A: Essentially, what it's saying is that when you a kid, you're not paying attention to the clock. When you're an adult, that's all you're doing. You just watching the clock, looking at the clock. [00:13:36] Speaker B: See, right now, like I said, I just got my vacation book. I have a carnival. Give you a countdown and it shows on your. Like on my home screen. 62 days to my cruise. Like, I know to the hour, to the time to depart. You feel me? Like I'm watching. [00:13:50] Speaker C: Yeah. I would have to hide that from myself because I'll be looking at that every day. [00:13:54] Speaker B: And give me something to look forward. [00:13:55] Speaker A: I miss, though, yo. You know what I miss? And I thought about this last Christmas. I missed that excitement I used to have when I couldn't sleep. [00:14:07] Speaker C: Because. Because you. Because you done spent. You done spent your money on the Christmas. So the. You, like, get this the over with. I'm tired. That's why I'm not excited. [00:14:16] Speaker B: I dread Christmas morning. Yo, like, Christmas Eve is so Stressful for me because it's like one of my kids gonna be pissed off, like, somebody ain't gonna get what they wanted or they didn't get enough of somebody else got more than what they. It's just. [00:14:32] Speaker A: No, I completely understand what you mean. Cause it's like. It's like, I'm so blessed to not. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Have a Christmas like that. I feel that. See? And I. Like, I didn't have Christmases like that growing up. It was just me and my sister and my parents. Like, we was like latchkey kids. My parents worked all the time, so they out there. [00:14:48] Speaker A: Latchkey kids. [00:14:49] Speaker B: Shout out there. Listen, listen. I. I loved it. You know, I grew up early because of that. I grew up quick because 100. But my parents. My parents way of. Of dealing with it was overcompensated. Right. So they would literally buy whatever the I wanted. Like, whatever me and my sister wanted. We would wake up to Christmas and, like, if this couch was in my. In my living room, this whole can cover. [00:15:09] Speaker A: You wouldn't even see the couch. Right, right. [00:15:10] Speaker B: This would be covered in toys. [00:15:12] Speaker A: That's how my Christmas was. [00:15:13] Speaker B: Electronics, whatever. All right. And so I try to do the same thing with. With my. For my kids, because of the technology being different. [00:15:19] Speaker A: They got. [00:15:20] Speaker C: They got. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Got out of real quick. [00:15:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:23] Speaker B: Real early. [00:15:25] Speaker A: But you know what's crazy? I noticed. All right, so with Adrian, right? When it comes to. And I don't know, this is like, out of some jealousy, but he will start trying to. Like, when Elias got one of his toys that he used to play with, he like, oh, that's mine. And I'm like, bro, you not. You was just playing a PlayStation or you was on. Yeah. [00:15:45] Speaker C: Like, why that sibling? [00:15:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought it was strange. Go ahead. [00:15:50] Speaker B: I was gonna ask this question, and it was funny you asked what you asked earlier, but I was. Because I had this thought coming over here. I just had an experience with my three sons. Is it okay to have a favorite kid? If you have multiple. If you have multiple children, is it okay to have a favorite kid? [00:16:05] Speaker C: You shouldn't, but I think you do. Like, for me. [00:16:11] Speaker B: I think you're the favorite kid. [00:16:13] Speaker C: I know I'm the favorite kid. My son. Siblings know I'm the favorite kid. [00:16:16] Speaker A: I think it's a natural thing to do. I think it's a natural thing. [00:16:19] Speaker B: That's why you feel it's okay. Cause it's you. [00:16:23] Speaker A: I think it's just a natural thing. Like, I think it's one of those things of you, like, who you like and it's not to say you dislike the other kids. It's just you and this kid. It's like meeting somebody that you have a. [00:16:36] Speaker C: A bond with. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Not even just a bond, but a mutual understanding of how things work or how things go or like, for instance, prime example. And this is just going off the kids subject just a tad bit, but it's. It's. It's on subject. Initially, when I had started hanging out with the other side of my family, I was trying to bond with someone who was close in age. Right, Right. They were leaving. They were. They had signed up for the military. They were about to go. So there was no real bond. How me and Tay got real close was he left his ipod in my car, so when I was playing it, I thought the was mine. Because we had so much similar music interests. That's how we initially started to bond. So I think it's the same concept with the kid. When you have that one kid that always comes around, you know that one. [00:17:29] Speaker C: And it isn't though tone like, like for me, what me and my siblings. [00:17:34] Speaker A: Me and my mom has a favorite kid. [00:17:36] Speaker C: I'm not saying that she don't, but I, I kind of got. My mother loves us definitely equally, but differently, but I'm the only boy, so. [00:17:48] Speaker B: So that. That matters. [00:17:49] Speaker C: So that's how I get the kind of the, The, The. The edge up when not saying that I'm her favorite, but nonetheless, I get. No, it's not what I'm saying. [00:17:58] Speaker A: My. [00:17:58] Speaker C: Actually, actually, Kiara is her favorite. My middle sister is her favorite. [00:18:03] Speaker A: How you know, who's your favorite? In my opinion, whoever got away with doing the most. And, you know, you was doing. [00:18:10] Speaker C: That's diamond. I can't agree. [00:18:12] Speaker B: I don't agree with that. [00:18:13] Speaker C: I don't agree with that because my. [00:18:14] Speaker B: Kids be on time, but. All right. [00:18:16] Speaker A: My kids go to most, I think. [00:18:18] Speaker B: No, no, no. [00:18:20] Speaker C: That's because you may just be fed up and like, you know what? It. When that next child come along, you be like, you know what? [00:18:26] Speaker B: Well, I'm gonna tell you because, like, my kids are all over the spectrum. [00:18:31] Speaker A: Right? [00:18:31] Speaker B: Right. Literally and figuratively. I have a kid who on the surface, it looked like he on bullshit time all the time, but it's not that. He just thinks about things a lot differently than other people. All right. Including his siblings, including his parents. So I'm constantly having to give him grace in situations because I know that his processing wasn't how I would have processed it, and it's not how I would have expected it. To be processed, but he processed it his way, and he got to his conclusion because of his logic. Right. So I have to be graceful and my response to it and be focused more on tailoring how he's processing. You see what I'm saying? Like, trying to guide his processing versus responding to his process. [00:19:21] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. [00:19:22] Speaker A: My son. [00:19:22] Speaker B: Looks like he gets away with more than my other kids, but that's not the case. And. And so that's the point. That's why I asked the question this way. I got to with it when I was thinking about it earlier than myself. I don't have a favorite kid. I love all my kids equally. I enjoy them equally differently, and I enjoy them differently in different functions. [00:19:45] Speaker A: Right. [00:19:45] Speaker B: You see what I'm saying? So, like, my oldest daughter, I vibe with her. If I. If I'm by myself and I want to chill with somebody by myself, I'm gonna chill with her. [00:19:55] Speaker A: Okay. [00:19:55] Speaker B: Because her time, she be on the same time I be on. Our humor's real similar. We crack about the same things. Our tolerance are similar. So we don't get on each other's nerves. We know when we've had enough of whatever's going on, and we need to go be by ourself. Right. But my youngest daughter, Chloe, is on my hip, and it's not day one. Day one, she's on my hip. And anybody on the surface would think she was my favorite, Right. Because she's always with me, but it's not. She's just clingy, and I nurture that. I want my daughter to be clingy to me. [00:20:23] Speaker A: So the other daughter's your. [00:20:24] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? No, it's not. That's the thing. I have my favorite moments with all of them. [00:20:30] Speaker C: Yeah. Like me and my son, I think. [00:20:32] Speaker A: It'S fair, but I just feel like. I mean, I don't know. All right, y' all, we back. We took a quick break. I wanted to ask a question pertaining to the last conversation we had, and I can't remember the shit. [00:20:47] Speaker C: Good shit, bro. [00:20:47] Speaker A: What was we talking about? [00:20:50] Speaker C: Siblings and everything. We went from there to. [00:20:55] Speaker A: Oh, I know what I was gonna say. No, yeah, I do. I do. [00:20:57] Speaker C: Go ahead. [00:20:58] Speaker A: Do you think a person who. I guess you would say, do you think a person that makes their success about. On other people, like, has some issues, or do you think, like. Like, when is there a thin line between. I'm doing this for myself. [00:21:14] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:21:15] Speaker A: Because if I'm doing it. [00:21:20] Speaker C: No, you just ain't answered it, though. [00:21:21] Speaker B: If you're doing it. [00:21:23] Speaker C: No, Reese, if you doing it because you trying to prove a point to a, then you're not doing it for yourself. It's no longer for you. [00:21:30] Speaker B: I understand that. I understand that way of thinking. Right. But a lot of times people use the negativity of others as motivation. [00:21:39] Speaker C: Yeah, but that's the difference, though, Reese. Using it for motivation and using it for validation is two different things. [00:21:48] Speaker B: I agree with that 100%. [00:21:51] Speaker C: I' ma show you. [00:21:51] Speaker A: Like, all right. And I can be vulnerable with y' all in this. When I went on my first weight loss journey, it was this particular young lady that I wanted to date, and she showed me. Well, what happened was she gave me her phone to text a friend back, and she was still in her last message. And I saw the message from the guy, and I'm like, here I am looking like a clown, trying to woo you and do all this. And then when I saw how he looked, I'm like, you, I'm gonna look better than this. Like, that was my motivation. [00:22:25] Speaker C: So that's motivation. That's to get back in the gym. That's not validation. [00:22:29] Speaker A: So go true. And then eventually, those feelings kind of subsided, and I. I just viewed her differently once I got to my goal. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Because that made her. In a sense, that made her. I'll use the word shallow. It doesn't have to mean it in the literal sense, but that just made her a little bit shallow, like, let's say. And I'm not saying that you're not, but you could have the. The best heart ever. [00:22:50] Speaker B: And you. [00:22:51] Speaker C: And she may have missed out on her blessing bigger than what she's usually used. [00:22:57] Speaker A: He was a fat guy. I just said I was going to look better than him. But, I mean, like, I could, I, I, I. It was motivation. But I don't like the idea that that's. I didn't, like, you needed that feeling for myself, like, it's a different feeling. And I guess we. I, I think we can all attest here to that moment where we do something for ourselves versus the, you know, for the validation of others and. Or because we want to hurt somebody, making them feel like they missed out on something from us. [00:23:28] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'll agree to that. [00:23:31] Speaker B: I mean, but that's vindication. That's a little bit different. Right? [00:23:34] Speaker A: Okay. [00:23:36] Speaker B: It's a whole lot of Asians. [00:23:37] Speaker A: Yeah, a lot of Asians right now. [00:23:39] Speaker B: See that? The rap show on Netflix, A little contest when they were trying to find rappers. [00:23:43] Speaker C: Eminem. Is that the joint that Cardi B and all. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Had lotto ludicrous and. And somebody. [00:23:50] Speaker C: Yeah, it was. I think it was lotto ludicrous and, and. [00:23:53] Speaker B: And DJ Khaled and C. They had. I just all the Asians the. That won the show. [00:23:59] Speaker A: Drake. [00:23:59] Speaker B: TL his first song was just a whole bunch of dedication. I see. Motivation. [00:24:04] Speaker A: Oh, a lot of Asians. [00:24:05] Speaker B: A whole lot of Asians. And he said every Asian possible in one song. [00:24:10] Speaker C: You know who I used to like from that show? What's the name? D Smoke. [00:24:13] Speaker B: Nah, I. With D Smoke. [00:24:14] Speaker A: Smoking sp. But I feel like he had a leg up because of who his brother was. [00:24:19] Speaker D: I don't think so. Because. [00:24:23] Speaker B: He didn't mention his brother one time. They didn't mention his brother one time that entire season. I mean this. Let me tell you how dope this thing. Okay. [00:24:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I was about to ask that question cuz I. I didn't mention his brother. I remember seeing that. Who his brother was and then I. [00:24:37] Speaker B: I don't even know who his brother is. Who's his brother, sir. Oh, okay. But I didn't know that. But I forgot. [00:24:43] Speaker C: Yeah, so did I. [00:24:44] Speaker A: That's why my thing is. And I want to get too all tired because I feel like we having a good discussion. My thing is though, he has an insight on certain things that other people who aren't. [00:24:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:53] Speaker C: So it does give him a leg up. [00:24:55] Speaker A: Yeah, he got a little leg up is what I'm saying. [00:24:56] Speaker B: I'm not saying I think it's a bad leg up in half. [00:24:59] Speaker A: I'm not saying it's not. [00:25:00] Speaker B: But if you know how to. From a musical family, you know how. [00:25:03] Speaker A: To compose music, you know how that other people don't. [00:25:07] Speaker B: I'm not saying it's not your fault that they don't know that you got it. [00:25:10] Speaker A: That's a valid point. I'm not mad at that. I mean it doesn't take away from the fact that the can't spit. I'm not saying that the one. [00:25:16] Speaker B: One of the rounds and he forgot half the words in his song. All right. Just the. Was that dope, right? Yeah, the song was that good. I still listen to it on YouTube. And he forgot half the words. I'll be in the car listening to when the kids pull up. Just because I. With the song. [00:25:30] Speaker A: Yeah, no, like that leg up helps. [00:25:32] Speaker C: Like I got a leg up in my career. My father did it his whole life. I had a, an advantage. [00:25:37] Speaker A: You had an advantage? Yeah. That conversation that I was going to say, I just feel like, like I don't Know, I feel like right now, we. In this culture of, like, I think a lot of people just be trying to. On everybody. I don't think it's really about motivation or trying to motivate others. I think it's more so, like, I think you only have a small few that really try to motivate, like, Wallow. That's one person, I believe he definitely tried to motivate people, and he doesn't do it through, like, the. The things that he's obtained through, you know, his. [00:26:15] Speaker C: I mean, but his is more. His is more like life experience. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Right, But I'm just saying, like, some people. I've seen some people, you feel. And I'm not gonna name this particular person, but I remember one person came back to the city, brought all the cars and bikes out and. And was like, yeah, this is supposed to be motivation to people. I'm like, yo, the poor people don't see that as motivation. [00:26:33] Speaker C: You. It look like you're. It looks like you're bragging in a sense. [00:26:36] Speaker A: Not even bragging. Like, it's like. Hurt you. [00:26:38] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, that too. [00:26:39] Speaker A: But, yeah, yeah, but, yeah, but motivation. [00:26:42] Speaker C: Yeah, but it's all in the eye of the beholder. You feel what I'm saying? I might see that. [00:26:50] Speaker B: Like, damn. [00:26:50] Speaker C: Okay, cool. [00:26:51] Speaker A: No. [00:26:51] Speaker B: Cause I know, like, when we was kids, we used to sit on the soup and be like, that's my car. That's my car. You feel me? Like, that was the shit to do. So, like. [00:26:59] Speaker A: But we also come from a different generation, right? [00:27:01] Speaker B: So the. [00:27:01] Speaker A: We could do those things. [00:27:02] Speaker B: I mean, but access to information is different. So these kids are seeing this at a much earlier age at a much higher consumption rate. [00:27:09] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:27:09] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying? So it's like I got robbed at gunpoint by 12 year old. Because I know that he saw something he wanted. All right? I was in Reisterstown, not in the hood, not in a desolate area. I mean, I was on Charlie Drive, all right? That saw something that piqued the interest in something that motivated him somewhere else. And his only way of getting it. [00:27:32] Speaker A: Was to take it from another. [00:27:34] Speaker B: You see what I'm saying? Motivations. So my thing has been this, right? I don't give a. What you use to get up and get out. Just don't hurt nobody. [00:27:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:43] Speaker B: All right, that's that. I don't give a. If it's. If it's because your parents was a piece of. And you needed to. For them to see that you made something of yourself without their help. [00:27:53] Speaker A: I Don't give a. [00:27:54] Speaker B: If it was. You went through some natural disaster. Hurricane Katrina. Had to get this place from New Orleans. The Houston. Houston. And you're using that as motivation to get up. Whatever motivates you just don't hurt nobody in the process. [00:28:06] Speaker A: Right. [00:28:07] Speaker C: In a sense. [00:28:07] Speaker A: And I ain't gonna hold you. [00:28:08] Speaker B: Too physically violent. [00:28:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:11] Speaker B: Stealing. You know what I'm saying? [00:28:13] Speaker C: Because sometimes you have to. Some people are stepping stones for you. That's why. That's why. [00:28:18] Speaker A: That's why to you young out there, the Robin game is the. Remember back in the day, the Robin game was the lowest thing on the totem pole. [00:28:29] Speaker C: Yeah. Now it's kind of respected in it. [00:28:31] Speaker A: Which is crazy to me because back in the day that. That wasn't it. [00:28:34] Speaker B: No. In the hierarchy of criminals, they looked at thieves like rats. [00:28:38] Speaker A: Right. [00:28:39] Speaker B: It was a snitching in the thief. [00:28:41] Speaker C: Yeah. We respected like the drug dealers or the working man. You know what I'm saying? Like those are. I wanted to be like. I knew all the stick up kids in my hood that my dad. Dad used to tell me about. I ain't want to be like the. Because they wouldn't. They were. [00:28:57] Speaker A: The problem is with sticking people up is that you. It never lasts long. So you gotta. [00:29:04] Speaker C: And you gotta look over that and you gotta look over your shoulder because somebody gonna blow your brains out behind what belongs to them. [00:29:10] Speaker B: So that's the whole. It goes back to the old adage that nothing worth having come easy. Right. [00:29:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:14] Speaker B: If you go out and you get that in the easy way, in the easy method, you lose your. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Appreciate it. [00:29:20] Speaker B: The value is not there. You don't have the value because you didn't work for. [00:29:24] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:29:24] Speaker B: I'll be trying to get my kids to understand. I'm not saying I'm not rich by far, but I'm trying to make sure my kids have the best opportunities available. But they forget. I even forget. They don't know what giving them the opportunity took. You see what I'm saying? So they don't even have the appreciation for the opportunity because they didn't see the work that went into it. So it's like. Nah. [00:29:46] Speaker C: Because by the time you had them, Reese, probably like you was already. I'm saying, like to wear like somebody like me. [00:29:53] Speaker B: I grew up with my mother. [00:29:55] Speaker A: Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Why do you think I remember I had a dope idea for a video, like a music video Right. Where I still want to do this, but you know, I got to get with somebody that understands the concept. So the concept was showing like it was a screen. Like when the video comes on, it's different eras. 70s, 80s, 90s, early 2000s. Right. Where people are doing. They. They playing the same game, but it's the same result no matter what era the game is played in. [00:30:28] Speaker B: Okay. [00:30:29] Speaker A: Why do you think people continue to participate in the game that we like, for instance? [00:30:33] Speaker B: Because we're taught to hope. We grow up in faith based places. Right? [00:30:39] Speaker A: Right. [00:30:39] Speaker B: What faith gives you is hope. So you take that same hope and you would apply it to the rest of your life. Are you hope. Because we're made to believe that if you do something a certain way, you're going to get a certain result. If you put the work in, if you work hard, then you're going to, you're going to grow up, you're going to go to college, you're going to get the job. If you, even if you don't go to college, if you learn to trade, if you learn a sport. [00:30:58] Speaker A: I mean in the sense of the street shit. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Same shit though. [00:31:02] Speaker A: You think it's the same concept? [00:31:03] Speaker B: Absolutely. So like the people who grew up in that street shit, yo, if I can get me a pack and I can get two, three, who I know going to flip the. This pack with me about to be the next supreme team. [00:31:16] Speaker C: We about to emf. [00:31:18] Speaker B: What, one of them? All of them? [00:31:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:20] Speaker B: Like all we see is the sensationalized version of that. Even when they go to jail, it look good. You see what I'm saying? Like, look at this. The young thug that just went on, right? Yo, I will never forget watching Wallow and Gilly and they had thug and whole YSL on the show. [00:31:37] Speaker A: The same. [00:31:37] Speaker B: Same with Dirt. The was in tears telling these young, like, if y' all don't stop and y' all doing, y' all want to end up in jail for a long time or dead. Wallow was in tears and then a month later get locked up, the whole YSL get indicted. The in the in jail recording the album. He did a mixtape in jail. Yeah, and it was fired like, and it was fired. And then he beat the. He ain't beat the charge, but by the time he walked away from it, he walking away from it. [00:32:05] Speaker A: But in most those kids mind, they beat the charge, right? Yeah, because they don't understand. They don't understand. [00:32:10] Speaker B: All they saw was a mockery of a trial, some a. A circus show. Now this, this other. What's the name? The ball hit the. The main witness. [00:32:18] Speaker A: Oh, Woody. Woody. Yeah. [00:32:20] Speaker B: This Is Internet famous now. [00:32:23] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:23] Speaker B: You see what I'm saying? [00:32:24] Speaker C: Was that you that sent me that video of the little boy when he was trying to go hang out with the older dudes. He's a nine or snitch. Remember I stabbed my. My teacher, blah, blah, so on and so forth. [00:32:33] Speaker B: It was a real little boy, right? [00:32:34] Speaker C: And at the end of the joint, he was like, yeah. They was like. They was trying to tell him, like, going to jail ain't cool. Whatever. Whatever. He like, no, I'm just. He's like, nah, being bad is all right. He said, because I'm just trying to live. Live like my idol. They was like, well, yeah, this said King Vaughn. [00:32:48] Speaker B: I said, exactly. [00:32:49] Speaker A: Yo, I remember when I took Adrian to get. [00:32:52] Speaker B: I think King Bomb was a monster. [00:32:54] Speaker C: They said that was a real loud. [00:32:56] Speaker A: And Arundel Mills, they have, like, a what? Like a. Like a What they call that for paintings and they. You know, when they write frame in place. Yeah. So they have, like, different art pictures and. Right. For, like, who's. Like, the. You got with Nipsey? What's that? Like, I think you got that from Arundel, right? [00:33:14] Speaker C: No, that actually came from Ross. [00:33:16] Speaker A: But you get what I'm saying, though, they have a store that's, like, dedicated to all that. They come in different. [00:33:21] Speaker C: Rihanna. [00:33:22] Speaker A: Yeah. They got different sizes and all that. So when we go in the store, I'm thinking he about to go over to, like, the anime, the cartoons, all that. This. Go pick up King Bong. [00:33:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:33] Speaker A: I said, bro, what? And he got. He picked up King Bong holding the money. I'm like, yo, you're not getting that. Like, he like, but this can't. [00:33:40] Speaker B: I'm like, oh, you said you was with Adrian. [00:33:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, my son. My son. [00:33:44] Speaker B: Right? Yeah. Yeah, I missed that part. [00:33:45] Speaker A: So I'm like, yo, you not. [00:33:47] Speaker B: You not. [00:33:47] Speaker A: I'm not getting you that. Like, no, you can get one of these. Like, I'm. I'm fine with you liking certain music and certain rappers, right? But I'm not fine with you liking something or idolizing somebody who was detrimental in their community. That's. I'm not. I'm. [00:34:03] Speaker B: No, I feel that. So, like, I. I'll be trying to do the same with my kids, like, in the. They listen to and the things that they ingest. But, like, I can honestly say my parents didn't censor my. Right. Not that they. They just let me listen to anything because they. They wasn't. But they didn't. Like, the first tape I ever bought was Snoop Dogg. Doggy So I was 12 years old, I bought a tape and my mother. My father. [00:34:25] Speaker A: Right now, Right? [00:34:26] Speaker B: Absolutely. But it wasn't like, why you buying it? Take. Because he. All he talked about was. And hoes the whole tape, right? So it wasn't like, no, you can't listen to that. It was like my father was like, well, that's what you like. Well, why you like it? What about it is it that you like? What. What about it makes you enjoy it? All right, like, don't just like something because other people liking it have a reason why you ingested it. And so, like, I be trying to make sure I stay in that place with my children because they be liking some sideways shit. They be like some off the wall shit. And I gotta be like, sometimes like, what the is you listen to that? But then I'm like, well, no, no, no. Why are you listening to that? What about it do you like? [00:35:02] Speaker C: So basically you're teaching them a lesson all at the same time and not. And not dulling their senses to what appeals to them. [00:35:09] Speaker A: But we got. We got two ladies in a row, and I'm gonna ask y' all a question. When it comes to. I know your taste of music and I know your taste of music somewhat because you listen to more conscious rat. If anything, when you're saying you. [00:35:28] Speaker B: Who you talking to? [00:35:29] Speaker A: See, this is a more conscious rat breed. [00:35:33] Speaker C: No, no, it was a real question. [00:35:37] Speaker A: Not that deep in her back. [00:35:38] Speaker C: Like Wale. Like. [00:35:43] Speaker D: Nipsey Hustle, Kendrick Lamars of the world, J. Cole, some people that's really okay. [00:35:48] Speaker B: Okay. [00:35:49] Speaker C: Not some turn up music. [00:35:50] Speaker B: It's. [00:35:50] Speaker C: It's like, yeah, like, I ain't going to the club and seeing J. Cole. [00:35:53] Speaker A: Breeze taste is kind of in between. [00:35:55] Speaker D: Breeze has its place, but yeah, my primary bag. [00:35:58] Speaker A: And I think breeze taste is a little in between conscious, right? [00:36:02] Speaker C: And like the backpack. [00:36:03] Speaker D: Right. [00:36:04] Speaker C: But as far as backpack is, it go as far as me goes and Uzi. I'm just gonna. [00:36:08] Speaker B: When you say back, see, I. When I hear backpack, I hear backpack and conscious almost in the same lane. [00:36:13] Speaker A: Yeah, they almost in the same space. [00:36:14] Speaker C: But for me, it's kind of like. Like you Chance, the rappers and people of that nature. [00:36:19] Speaker B: Okay, I love Chance. Chance is more backpack when y' all. [00:36:25] Speaker A: Not so much conscious when y' all. When y' all listen to the. Because I think dope. You know what annoys me? I like Dochi Doshi. I love you. But there's raps what it is. But I feel like Rhapsody was on that wave way before Dolce and maybe it's because Dochi has a certain look. [00:36:45] Speaker B: To her, but that's not fair. I'm gonna tell you why that's not fair. [00:36:48] Speaker A: I understand what you're saying. [00:36:51] Speaker C: A different type of backing. [00:36:52] Speaker B: No, but we do that more to women than we do to women artists. Because women artists, and I'm guilty of. [00:36:58] Speaker C: It myself, they're critiqued more. [00:37:00] Speaker B: No, it's not that they critique more. It's like, once I find a woman who do this thing good, I don't need another woman who does that same thing. [00:37:06] Speaker A: Right? [00:37:06] Speaker B: All right, so, like. But I'm not like that when I listen to men artists, right? [00:37:11] Speaker C: Like cardi, it's 30 niggas that do the same thing. [00:37:13] Speaker B: It be 30 niggas that sound almost exactly the same. And I'll fuck with them on individual songs. Right? But, like, right now, we be like. Like, I mean, to call my girl. We be tossing up between Glorilla and Lotto, right? And they don't rap about the same at all, but they two females. I'm a gorilla fan. [00:37:33] Speaker C: I like. So I like Glow. [00:37:36] Speaker B: Right, Right. [00:37:37] Speaker C: But I think. I think Lotto's a better rapper. [00:37:39] Speaker B: I think Lotto's a better rapper. [00:37:41] Speaker C: That's my opinion. [00:37:42] Speaker B: But see, I don't need. But my issue is. My issue with it is so, like, those two women had me not listening to no other women rap, like, outside of Nicki and Cardi, because they separate to me. They in a different era of music for me as far as these new women rappers glow. And Lotto consumes my woman rap. So I don't listen to no other women rap because I'm not. I'm not a man. [00:38:06] Speaker A: Hold on, hold on. Before y' all getting y' all back, this is what I wanted to ask the women of the room. [00:38:10] Speaker B: My fault. You didn't start with advice to the women. [00:38:12] Speaker A: What. How do y' all. Because I think growing up, I had an understanding that this wasn't real. Like, what people rapped about wasn't 100 real. Because the they rapping about could really have them locked up. [00:38:27] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:38:28] Speaker A: Right? Is it the same when it comes to certain artists, female artists that talk about, like, promiscuousness and all that? Do y' all, like, feel the same way? Like, this is just entertainment? Or do y' all, like, not like, the whole. You know, y' all think that they're. [00:38:42] Speaker C: Actually really living that, or. [00:38:44] Speaker A: I don't think they live in that for the most part. I mean, they may, but, like, like, how do you. How do you feel about like the slutty, promiscuous rap in the sense. Let's go there. [00:38:58] Speaker D: I mean. [00:39:01] Speaker A: Especially coming from black women. [00:39:03] Speaker C: Like, so you talking like city girls. [00:39:06] Speaker A: City girls, Meg. [00:39:08] Speaker C: Sexy. [00:39:09] Speaker A: Sexy. [00:39:11] Speaker B: I believe. Sexy thought. I'm sorry, this is a question. [00:39:14] Speaker D: Yeah, I do too. [00:39:15] Speaker C: Yeah, I think that's why it works. [00:39:18] Speaker A: For her because she's being authentic to herself. But go ahead. [00:39:20] Speaker D: That's her. She's Aries, by the way. But. [00:39:28] Speaker A: Like, did you think when Kim said she sucked dick for money that was something you might have to do? [00:39:33] Speaker D: Fuck no. No, it's entertainment. [00:39:37] Speaker B: But some people think. [00:39:38] Speaker C: See, but, but you, but you think differently. Some, some women, some women like, be trying to live out a city girl life. [00:39:46] Speaker A: So, so I'm gonna ask this. Do you think it's because you have a balance of music? Because I feel like. [00:39:52] Speaker B: All right, I don't think I got nothing to do with her balance of music. It's her upbringing, it's her moral morals, her principles. [00:39:59] Speaker A: You think music influence influences certain behavior? [00:40:03] Speaker B: Well, I know it does, but I don't. It don't have to, like. No, it don't. Yeah. [00:40:09] Speaker C: If you're a level headed figure person. [00:40:11] Speaker B: Or movie or whatever, it's because they're weak minded people. [00:40:14] Speaker A: Right, Right. [00:40:15] Speaker B: And there's no disrespecting it to anybody because you, you do the best with what you have. Right. But you haven't been taught real life coping skills. So you turn to things that you sensationalize and want to make that your normal. [00:40:28] Speaker D: Yes. [00:40:29] Speaker A: All right, so go ahead, answer the question. I'm sorry. [00:40:33] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:40:36] Speaker C: So Jeezy Thug motivation. [00:40:38] Speaker A: One on one. [00:40:38] Speaker C: You ain't gonna get that brick that one time. [00:40:40] Speaker B: I already had the brick. [00:40:41] Speaker C: Oh, my bad, my bad. My. [00:40:43] Speaker B: But that's why I believed him, because he was saying the. That I was doing. [00:40:51] Speaker A: But the crazy part is when my pops told me none of that was real, I believed him. Yeah, it was just like, he was like, yo, none of these rappers, he was like, you think they really doing what they doing? They'd be locked up. [00:40:59] Speaker B: No, some of them really was doing that. [00:41:01] Speaker A: No, facts, facts. [00:41:02] Speaker B: Like, I don't, I don't believe a lot of the new rappers are doing half of this. They talk because these talk. Well, I don't know. Some of them. No, they kill it all the time. [00:41:12] Speaker A: Yeah, the baby is one of them. [00:41:13] Speaker B: Oh, no, look. [00:41:14] Speaker A: Yeah, see, well. [00:41:20] Speaker B: He talks about that all the time. But he had to kill that though. But he had to do that. [00:41:26] Speaker C: Yeah, that wasn't because you wanted it. [00:41:27] Speaker B: Wasn'T because you disrespected. [00:41:30] Speaker A: But. [00:41:30] Speaker C: But on the flip side, Buddy gets busy whenever he need to get busy. [00:41:35] Speaker B: On the flip side, I saw. I saw the baby shooting the music video, and some niggas came down on him, try to check him for not standing on. [00:41:42] Speaker C: Yeah, he was on the point. He said, yeah, I don't do no checking in. I don't check in. [00:41:45] Speaker B: Like, we could talk about this if you want, but I ain't checking in. [00:41:48] Speaker C: I'm checking in with shit. I remember that. [00:41:49] Speaker B: I'm like, okay, he was in Atlanta. I don't know where he was at, but he wasn't. He. [00:41:53] Speaker C: It looked like wherever he's in Atlanta, right? And they said, yeah, you gotta check it. He like, yeah, he looked like get killed. Yeah, he was like. He stood on that, like. [00:42:02] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that's why I With. I don't like his music, but I with him. [00:42:06] Speaker C: I think he can rap, though. [00:42:07] Speaker A: He can't rap. [00:42:08] Speaker B: No, he can't rap. I just don't like his music. Freestyles. Yeah, he can rap. I just don't like. I don't like the way his, like, sonically, I don't like him. I don't like his voice. Voice. [00:42:17] Speaker C: Okay. [00:42:18] Speaker B: His music doesn't move me. [00:42:19] Speaker C: The way he did that freestyle to squabble up. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Oh, no. His freestyles. [00:42:25] Speaker C: Are way hotter than his song. Well, he's a. You know what I compare him to. [00:42:30] Speaker D: And. [00:42:30] Speaker C: And this is not. Nah, this is not a discredit. He is a. A newer version of animation, like Ludiverse, like Luda or Busted. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Yes, absolutely. He would be great in. [00:42:49] Speaker A: So if we gonna go down this route, and I really want you. But it is what it is we hear. Music is the thing that we all love here. [00:42:58] Speaker C: I breathe that. [00:42:59] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:43:00] Speaker A: I feel like music. We've gone through so many transitions in rap because at one point in time, it was like you had to be original. You had to do this. You couldn't handle writers. So then we had, like, the Diddy thing come in. Then we had, like, dmx, then we had Jade, and it's like the south took over and then. And I think we've gotten to a point where. Because that's kind of what rap was in the 90s when you think about it. It was a lot of animated back in the 90s, but I think it was just. It was. It was respected because it was original. [00:43:29] Speaker B: Right? [00:43:30] Speaker A: I think. [00:43:30] Speaker B: I don't think it was animated, though. That's why I don't. That's why I don't think it was animated. When I say animated. [00:43:37] Speaker C: Up, everybody. [00:43:40] Speaker A: Go ahead, go ahead. [00:43:41] Speaker C: When did you know that you love hip hop? What age do you think you were? [00:43:50] Speaker B: What age was I? [00:43:52] Speaker C: Like, you like, yeah, like, rap is not saying that you don't listen to any other genre. I remember what age that you say. [00:43:58] Speaker A: Y' all might hate me for this, but I remember. [00:44:00] Speaker B: I think I remember. [00:44:02] Speaker C: I mean, everybody can answer individually, like, what age did you say? You know what? Yeah, I. [00:44:08] Speaker B: So I can tell you the early. The earliest memory I had that was like, yo, I really with this shit was Rex in effect, Rump Shaker, the video. I might have been 11. And I listened to a lot of shit. Like, my parents was Motown deep. So like. And then my cousins was real east coast rap. They was from Philly. They was real heavy New York, heavy, Philly influence. And they was my favorite people to be around. My parents and my cousins, they was my favorite people in the world. And so, like, I fell in love with R B first because it's what my mother listened to all the time and my father all the time. [00:44:52] Speaker A: But when I heard Rump Shaker, I know mine. [00:44:55] Speaker B: When I heard Rum Shaking, I saw the video. I was 11 years old. It was like, yo, you can love. [00:45:06] Speaker A: That fucking video, bro. [00:45:07] Speaker C: Hitting the side of the. [00:45:10] Speaker B: But from shaking to me was like, all I gotta do is say some slick ass words and girls will shake their asses like this. [00:45:15] Speaker C: So that was yours? [00:45:16] Speaker B: It was like, what? [00:45:17] Speaker C: Yours hypnotized it. [00:45:20] Speaker B: How old was you, though? [00:45:22] Speaker A: That was around seven. [00:45:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:45:24] Speaker A: And I remember. And I remember, like, literally, like, yo, these is living a lot, like the driving back with on the bikes, like, then they get on the boat, like, that was. Oh, my God, I used to to love that, right? Yo, you know how many times I tried to call a box to young? Y' all don't remember the box? Y' all don't remember the box? [00:45:44] Speaker C: One reasonable doubt came out. [00:45:46] Speaker A: What was. That's 96, 96, 96. [00:45:50] Speaker C: I was 11. And I mean, number one, I. I deem Jay as my favorite rapper then. And then after 11 is when I. Yeah, then my older cousins, like, with you race. My cousins that lived in New York, you know, they like, yeah, this is what's cool. And that was just embedded in my brain. Like, this is real rap music. But R B has always been my first love because my mother, see, R. [00:46:16] Speaker A: B didn't become a love for me till later in life, I think, ironically enough. I ain't start listening To R B. Till Trey first album. What was his first time? Just gotta make it. Yeah. That's when I started with R was. [00:46:35] Speaker C: Mary J was the 41 1. And after that, share my world by Mary. [00:46:40] Speaker A: The crazy part is my first R B song, though that I knew word for word was what's old boy name? When we were together, I never turned. [00:46:56] Speaker B: Oh, but now. [00:46:57] Speaker A: Now I hate it. [00:47:00] Speaker C: Before I even moved to Baltimore, right? I used to love five Steps. Never been here before. Never knew the name of Drew Hill. Yeah, I was. I was in Jersey. [00:47:08] Speaker B: Still, she hates that song. Yo, people. [00:47:13] Speaker C: People would be like, yo, sing. I would always sing that song. [00:47:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:17] Speaker C: First quarter, they'd be like, you can sing. [00:47:19] Speaker A: Sing. [00:47:20] Speaker C: Five Steps will be my song. [00:47:21] Speaker A: We were fast. [00:47:24] Speaker B: I moved back to Baltimore in 90. [00:47:26] Speaker C: I never knew what Drew Hill stood for. I just knew I like Park. I realized that when I moved here. [00:47:32] Speaker B: I moved back to Baltimore, like, 96, 97. And in high school, every talent show, niggas was singing five steps. Niggas was singing Angel. It was. Every talent show was a Drew Hill song. All right, like, it was like a Drew Hill concert. Every talent show, that. [00:47:50] Speaker C: That was my favorite RV group at the time, bro. Like, and I still love them now. [00:47:56] Speaker A: We gonna end it here and come back for one more segment. But I think. I think Baltimore doesn't have a lot of people who made it. Yeah, most people forget about them, but I think once we had somebody that made it, you know, refense is from all that. For real. [00:48:16] Speaker D: Promise. [00:48:17] Speaker C: I did. [00:48:18] Speaker A: All right. We'll be back, y' all. All right, y' all. We back. This will be our last part of the show. [00:48:26] Speaker C: Do it. [00:48:27] Speaker A: Unless we, you know, let's do it. [00:48:29] Speaker C: Let's do it. Talking. [00:48:32] Speaker B: So. [00:48:35] Speaker A: I wanted to speak on this last week, but we didn't get to it. [00:48:38] Speaker B: We did a Last week. [00:48:39] Speaker C: Yeah, we did nothing. [00:48:40] Speaker A: Yeah, that was my fault. Y' all, this is your. Not really most. I don't want to really talk about Shador, but I really want to focus more so on this idea that people should be humbled, because that was a lot of the. The talk with him about, you know, his. Him being picked and what was the fifth round? [00:49:03] Speaker C: Fifth round. I have an answer to that fifth. [00:49:07] Speaker B: Round to why he. [00:49:08] Speaker C: He was picked in the fifth round. [00:49:10] Speaker A: No, I. I. [00:49:11] Speaker C: No, no, no, no. It has nothing to do with him being humbled or anything like that. This is actually a fact that I. That I learned today by one of the clients that comes to the shop. He's a ex. Raven had super bowl with them. He also played for Miami. Older gentlemen, but he still has tapped in with the NFL. So, number one, he interviewed poorly. He had a bunch of. [00:49:34] Speaker A: He interviewed poorly, which I heard was done on purpose. [00:49:37] Speaker C: He had a. He had a bunch of training things that he was supposed to show up for that he chose not to perform. And then he also. He also spoke poorly about his offensive line, and it wasn't the topic on. [00:49:55] Speaker B: More than one occasion. [00:49:56] Speaker A: And. [00:49:56] Speaker C: And for that. For that reason. So you think they ultimately did not want to draft him at home at all. [00:50:02] Speaker B: So that's the thing. So that's. So all of that speaks to where I was going to go with this. People put him on a pedestal that he didn't deserve. And I'm not saying that he didn't go out and perform, but he wasn't the best quarterback. He wasn't in the top 5 of quarterbacks in that graduating class. [00:50:20] Speaker A: Right. [00:50:20] Speaker B: He was drafted as the sixth quarterback. Arguably, he should have went five. [00:50:25] Speaker A: Right. [00:50:26] Speaker B: All right. Arguably. [00:50:27] Speaker C: Okay. [00:50:28] Speaker B: But he didn't deserve to go before that. Just like Keon said, he interviewed poorly. The metrics that teams use to evaluate. [00:50:35] Speaker A: So hold on. [00:50:36] Speaker B: He did terrible at. [00:50:38] Speaker A: I don't want us to go because I'm not really trying to dive into the Shador thing. What I was more so upset about in his situation was the fact that people felt like he needed to be humble. And for me, I'm like, who are we as human beings to. Who like to determine who needs. [00:51:00] Speaker B: Who needs to be humble? Who are you. [00:51:02] Speaker C: Who are you to chastise another individual? [00:51:05] Speaker A: That's my argument in this conversation. [00:51:07] Speaker B: And that's. [00:51:08] Speaker C: And that's a fair argument. [00:51:09] Speaker A: I didn't like the fact, like, it seems like anytime that. And granted, knowing the behind the scenes, of course, makes that more reasonable for why they did what they did. But from the outside looking in, it just seems like, here's another black man that's confident in himself. [00:51:24] Speaker B: I hear that. I don't agree with that. I feel like he needed to be humbled. I feel like. [00:51:28] Speaker A: But who was the NFL to do that? Because. [00:51:32] Speaker B: No, but that's what he chose to like. That's the industry he chose. [00:51:35] Speaker A: No, I get that, but I'm just. [00:51:37] Speaker B: Saying I can't go. I can't go be. Be a computer programmer and I don't know basic computer language. [00:51:42] Speaker A: Right. I get. [00:51:43] Speaker B: Oh, I only know basic computer language. [00:51:45] Speaker A: But my thing is, if that's the case. Right. The more embarrassing thing would be him being drafted high and then him being the Bus? [00:51:52] Speaker B: No, because every team is wasting, they wasting their money, they wasting their traffic, they wasting their resources on you. [00:51:59] Speaker A: I get that. But I'm just saying, like, if anything, if we talking about the idea of life humbling him, the, the more, the, the lesson, in my opinion would be maybe going at a high ground and then failing. [00:52:12] Speaker C: Right, okay, yeah, that's, that's fair. But, but no, like, you did a piss poor job. [00:52:18] Speaker A: I know, I get that. [00:52:20] Speaker C: I'm not presenting yourself like you. You went in there with arrogance. So they said, you know what? I'm a humble. [00:52:27] Speaker B: I get that. [00:52:27] Speaker A: But at the same time. [00:52:33] Speaker C: It'S us that don't. That are not in the NFL who was kicking his back in that. I feel as though like you shouldn't have had a. I mean, I don't. [00:52:42] Speaker B: I don't, I don't agree with that take because you put yourself in a public school. All right, so you, you, you, you suck at Republic backlash. So I don't agree with that tape. [00:52:50] Speaker C: Okay? [00:52:50] Speaker B: My thing is where I say that with this shit is that's the venue you chose. All right? You said I'm a great quarterback. Nobody came and said he's a great quarterback. You said it. [00:53:04] Speaker A: Right? [00:53:04] Speaker B: So you wanted to go out there and perform and be seen as this great quarterback, right? You chose this NFL draft as the place where you want to make your statement about how great you are. Because you said. Just like how when he said what he said, the fact that he had. First thing you said was. [00:53:21] Speaker C: I heard. [00:53:21] Speaker B: That was on purpose. Right? Why would he do that on purpose? Because he's saying that I'm better than this selection process, right? I don't give a fuck about the selection process. I'm gonna go into the selection process and I'm still going to be taken higher than other people. [00:53:36] Speaker C: I'm gonna give you my ass to. [00:53:37] Speaker B: Kiss and I'm gonna give you my ass to kiss along the way. Right? [00:53:40] Speaker A: I get you. [00:53:41] Speaker B: He chose that stage to make that statement on. So the NFL ain't wrong for using that stage that he chose to say, nigga know you not. Because you did things to say, no, you not. It's not because you are and you don't. If Cam Ward would have went in the fifth round, if Jalen Milroe would have went in the fifth round, then my. If people who were in the top five for Heisman contention would have went in the fifth round. No, but the eighth candidate for the Heisman Trophy, arguably the fourth or fifth best quarterback in the league, was selected as the sixth quarterback, it don't get fairer than that in my eyes. [00:54:20] Speaker A: No, I, I feel I, I, I. [00:54:22] Speaker B: Got what you deserve. You got what you earned. [00:54:24] Speaker A: I hear what you saying. I hear what you saying. But what I don't. My issue, again, goes back to the idea that people feel like they have to humble people. That's the shit I don't like, because I feel like that's, that's the responsibility. [00:54:36] Speaker C: He made it that way. [00:54:37] Speaker A: No, I get what you're saying, but at the end of the day, yo, that's. How would you feel if somebody, if you, if your kid was going out for something, felt confident in doing what he was doing? Okay, let's just. The, the, he was doing the. How would you feel? Somebody purposely says, you know what? I'm gonna make me. [00:54:56] Speaker C: To be honest. [00:54:56] Speaker B: I'm gonna be real with you. I want me to be honest. [00:54:59] Speaker C: If my kid did that, those same sentiments, and that's how you presented yourself. You got what you got coming to you. I'm not gonna be like, oh, no, my poor son. No, my son made it this way. You made your bed. [00:55:13] Speaker B: Now laying it, my son stood out there and said, yeah, I'm a quarterback, and, yeah, I'm gonna get drafted, and I don't need to do the things that these other draftees gotta do. I don't need to show up at the combine. I don't need to throw at the combine where every other quarterback is able to. This draft is throwing at the combine. I don't need to do that. I don't need to. I don't need to interview well. But every other quarterback has to show their IQ publicly, right? Every other quarterback has to stand in front of people and show how smart they are. [00:55:41] Speaker A: Yeah, but y' all don't. [00:55:42] Speaker B: And he said, I don't have to do that. So when you say I don't have to do those things, you have to be able to back that up. [00:55:48] Speaker A: No, I feel you on that part. [00:55:50] Speaker B: And he ain't backing that shit up. [00:55:51] Speaker A: I just don't like the idea that human beings want to take it upon the themselves to make somebody's life hard. [00:55:58] Speaker B: I mean, like, no, no, no. He took it upon himself to make his life hard. [00:56:03] Speaker C: But I understand what you're saying. [00:56:05] Speaker B: Hold on. [00:56:05] Speaker A: But if I have control at the end of the day, if I have control on the term, okay, if Keon comes in for a job interview and I'm like, yo, this arrogant whatever, you know, he might got some skill set to show that he can do the job. But I feel some type of way by his confidence, his arrogance, and I want to make it difficult for him. [00:56:27] Speaker C: Can I say this? Can I say this right? This is. This is. [00:56:30] Speaker A: I feel like that's what the NFL did. [00:56:31] Speaker B: That's not what the NFL did, though. [00:56:33] Speaker C: But. So I'll say this right. I'll say this right. So what. I understand what you're saying. So use it. And this is just my. My opinion. I think using Shador and that, you know, people being able to, you know, criticized, blah, blah, is not the right person to use for that. It's different if. And I feel as though that it's different if he didn't do the things that he did and he came in there humble and did what he's supposed to do and then they did that to him, then, yes, that's up. [00:57:03] Speaker A: All right, that's. Let me read. [00:57:05] Speaker B: That's why I said what I said. [00:57:09] Speaker C: Can we say this? Can we agree to disagree? Because I don't think that we ever gonna agree on how you feel about. [00:57:14] Speaker A: This, what I'm about to say, right? If you know, you on your. Let's take this. Let's just completely throw that out the window. Why can't you come into a. A space? Being confident and arrogant is two different things, bro. [00:57:36] Speaker B: I've proven my skill, and I'm going to stand on the things that I have proven. Arrogance says, I don't give a fuck if you know my skill. I know my skill. I don't care what you think about it, all right? And it's a big difference. [00:57:50] Speaker C: It is different, bro. Hold on, hold on. [00:57:52] Speaker B: Key. Hold on, Keith. That's how the world functions, bro. That's why. This is how the world functions. Nobody wakes up and other. Other than people who have privilege. Nobody wakes up with valor, bro. You have to go out there and earn that. You have to go out there and show the world what you're made of in order for you to be anything in this world. All right, with. You got exceptions. Don't get me wrong. Every fool has outliers. You have people who have. You got trust fund babies. You got people who will. People who will be billionaires without ever having done the work. [00:58:19] Speaker A: So how are the arrogance and confidence one in the same? [00:58:23] Speaker C: No, we're not saying that they're one in the same. I can have confidence and, And. And my confidence. [00:58:29] Speaker A: Do you think we the best podcast out here, Truthfully? [00:58:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:35] Speaker C: Hell yeah. I'm not gonna say that I am. [00:58:41] Speaker A: Now, am I. Am I going to say I'M not gonna sit here and what. I'm smart enough. [00:58:46] Speaker B: I'm gonna ask you what your metrics are. I'm gonna ask you what you measure. I did. [00:58:49] Speaker C: Because that's why I said. That's why I said. I'm not gonna say that because I don't know what. We're gauging this on. Like, there are different. It's aesthetics. [00:58:56] Speaker B: It's. It. [00:58:56] Speaker C: You know what I mean? [00:58:57] Speaker B: But the. No, but don't. It's not. So I see why you disagree, but my point is just that this NFL, there is a metric in place. There is a standard measurement in place. [00:59:07] Speaker A: No, I feel. [00:59:08] Speaker B: You see what I'm saying? You're not living up to that measurement. That's why the NFL's not wrong. For what? For how. For what happened. [00:59:15] Speaker A: Let's just take that out of. [00:59:17] Speaker C: Yeah, Like, I'm confident in what we doing. I think we do an amazing job. [00:59:21] Speaker B: Are we the best. [00:59:23] Speaker A: Hold on, hold on. [00:59:24] Speaker B: I feel like we are the best. [00:59:25] Speaker A: Podcast out there that hasn't been found yet. But also, too. I'm not. I'm not opposed to taking criticism. I'm not. [00:59:35] Speaker C: That's a form of. That's. That's not arrogant. That's not confident. [00:59:39] Speaker B: But that's the difference between arrogance. [00:59:41] Speaker C: You ask me, do I believe in what we doing? I'mma tell you 100%. Yes, I believe. Like, he said Metro, but he also said it's metrics. What are you gauging this on? So therefore I could say, yeah, we. I'm the best at. We the best at talking hypothetically or whatever the case may be. [00:59:57] Speaker B: We're the best conversational piece. Yeah, it's different metrics. We can have better wall art. Our sound could sound better. Our lights could look better. Yes, absolutely. So, like, we don't have. We don't have the best life. [01:00:09] Speaker C: Yeah, we are. [01:00:10] Speaker B: It's. [01:00:10] Speaker C: It's just a matter of. [01:00:12] Speaker B: We don't even communicate the best in the industry. We got to get better with how we talk to each other. Talking over top of each other, cutting people off. You know what I'm saying? It's things for us to. To do to grow. [01:00:22] Speaker A: Right? [01:00:22] Speaker B: But that's the difference between arrogance and confidence. Confidence is knowing that I'm putting the best version of myself forward with room to grow. Arrogance says, it ain't no more room. I'm it. And I don't give a. What you got to say about it. [01:00:35] Speaker C: That makes sense, right? [01:00:36] Speaker A: It makes sense. I ain't gonna hold you. I feel that way. [01:00:43] Speaker C: I love that. Fun. [01:00:44] Speaker B: Listen, hey, listen. I'm good with you feeling that way, because I don't. You see what I'm saying? And we a team. [01:00:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:51] Speaker A: Who know that I ain't without my team. [01:00:52] Speaker B: That part. See, I know that about you. [01:00:55] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:56] Speaker B: I don't want to say there's no. [01:00:58] Speaker C: Selfish when it comes down to this shit. [01:01:00] Speaker B: You're not selfish. You're arrogant, but you're not selfish. You see what I'm saying? So I'm good with you being arrogant, because I'm not. All right, we balance that out. [01:01:08] Speaker C: I'm cool. [01:01:09] Speaker B: You can tell me my can stink eight days a week. That night, I'm gonna smell great. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm gonna listen to everything that you said about me for them last eight days, and I'm gonna make it mean. [01:01:19] Speaker A: So like I said, I feel like we. We. We them. [01:01:24] Speaker C: And there's nothing wrong with yo, bro. [01:01:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:01:28] Speaker C: And we do a great job at. [01:01:30] Speaker B: What we do when we. Bro, I'm just saying. Just like. [01:01:33] Speaker C: Just the armfold for me said. I said what I said. [01:01:38] Speaker B: Yo, like, coming. [01:01:40] Speaker C: He said what? He said. [01:01:41] Speaker B: No, but when he said. [01:01:43] Speaker C: He said what he said what he. [01:01:45] Speaker A: Said like, bro, like the other day when. When I hit reason, I'm just thinking. [01:01:48] Speaker C: To myself, like, yo, this. [01:01:51] Speaker A: This said he been. He didn't work with studios and artists. [01:01:54] Speaker C: Why the is he not doing our sale? [01:01:56] Speaker A: Right When I called you, yo. [01:01:58] Speaker C: And that happened. So organic Reese came just to kick it one day. [01:02:05] Speaker B: Tell me, right? [01:02:07] Speaker A: For me, it's like, yo, it's too many pieces. That's fine. [01:02:11] Speaker C: Know what the he doing is. It's crazy that he, like, even with it with the soundboard, like, did you know you had to update it when you said it to me repeatedly, he said. I was like, yeah. [01:02:23] Speaker A: When I called him, he was like, yo, I was waiting for you to. [01:02:26] Speaker C: Ask me and look at. And look at his shit. [01:02:30] Speaker A: I'm like, this works with sound. Why the is he not doing our sound, bro? [01:02:33] Speaker C: And I knew that he worked with sound. I swear to God I did. Cause. [01:02:38] Speaker B: But that's me. Like, I believe everything happens the way it's supposed to happen. [01:02:42] Speaker A: Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. [01:02:43] Speaker B: And because I believe that. That's why I know we ain't the best podcast out there, because I know that. And I'm not saying that we not gonna be. I believe that there is. It isn't a part. So here's what I'm saying when I say that we're not the best podcast out There we don't do every single part of podcasting to the best of its ability. All right, that's fair. I believe that everything we do, we do it better than the people who do what we do. Yeah, all right, I believe that, but I believe that we can be better. All right, okay. So both of those can exist. They're not mutually exclusive. [01:03:14] Speaker A: Yeah, like. [01:03:14] Speaker B: All right. [01:03:15] Speaker A: And I personally think that that's. That's where we're trying. We're all on that page. [01:03:19] Speaker B: Absolutely. But that's the most important part. Regardless of what we individually think, we all on the same page about this shit. [01:03:25] Speaker A: Right. [01:03:25] Speaker B: And that's why we are who we are, because we're all on the same page about it. We move into the same goal. And as long as that, that part stay true, the rest of that shit, you know, we the best podcast out here. [01:03:37] Speaker C: I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna be honest and I'm looking for a spin off show for myself called David Ruffin and them. No. [01:03:44] Speaker A: But I am definitely trying to get the wiretap production off the ground too. That's gonna be another umbrella and part of this. And you know the first show we want to shoot is. What's it called? [01:03:56] Speaker B: T? [01:03:58] Speaker A: Would you call the show the segment? [01:04:02] Speaker B: You told me the other day. [01:04:03] Speaker A: What was the segment? Yeah, my segment. Yeah, what was it called? No, I was like, yo, that would be a great podcast name. [01:04:23] Speaker D: It's called I'm having a break.

[01:04:32] Speaker C: It's called. [01:04:32] Speaker B: It's. [01:04:33] Speaker D: My segment is going to be called Girl. Tell me why. [01:04:36] Speaker A: That's a great girl.

And now it's going to be the only thing. I think it's awful. I'm so. I'm so terrible. [01:04:59] Speaker D: You have to grow up. [01:05:01] Speaker B: I do. You absolutely right. I need to grow the up Never. I'm going tell you what I want to do though. I want to bring us. I want to do skits. Right. Because that be happening at my bar. Be hilarious. And I'm like, if people could see a version of this, this would get. Generate its own. I Want to start shooting skits and make it part of the. Like, part of the podcast? Yeah, we can do that part of the podcast. [01:05:26] Speaker A: I mean, my introduction to the. [01:05:29] Speaker B: Right. [01:05:29] Speaker A: So my goal has always to be a production company. That's always been my goal since 2015. Right. We about to get Mr. Ruff in here to start going downtown and doing interviews. [01:05:45] Speaker B: We about to have peon. We about to get Keon on the corner in front of a barrel of fire singing. That's what we about to do. [01:05:52] Speaker C: And Will. And Will. Yo. When Tone was like, yo, like, no, that was my idea. If we would have went to D.C. to the bullpen to do, like, little. Little interviews. Not nothing. Yeah, like. Yeah, like. [01:06:05] Speaker A: Like, thing is, I don't want to go to dc. I wanted to be here. I wanted to. [01:06:13] Speaker C: We could start it here and then expand. [01:06:15] Speaker A: I'm not saying we can't. I'm not saying we can. [01:06:18] Speaker C: See, was. Because that was the plan F to go this weekend. [01:06:20] Speaker A: That was on the. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to just. I'm not saying I wouldn't go to D.C. or other cities. What I'm saying is, I get it. [01:06:26] Speaker B: If you wanted. You want to start at home and. [01:06:28] Speaker A: Make it home base. [01:06:31] Speaker B: We get a larger selection of people. Yeah. [01:06:32] Speaker C: It's a melting pot. [01:06:33] Speaker B: All right. [01:06:34] Speaker C: Yo, and he came to me. He's like, yeah, so I want to start doing the. The street interviews. Bob. He didn't ask me. He told me. He was like, yeah, so you're gonna do it? He's like, yeah, you're gonna do the street interviews. I was like, it's your salad. [01:06:50] Speaker A: You have something I feel like I don't have. [01:06:51] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. Those were his words. I wasn't gonna say that, but, yeah. [01:06:54] Speaker B: Those are something he don't have. I'm sorry. [01:07:00] Speaker C: What? A knee snapper. [01:07:02] Speaker B: I wish you had that. I'm gonna have that next week, though. I'm gonna hit the seven. It's gonna go. I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. [01:07:13] Speaker C: I got more hats. [01:07:14] Speaker B: There you go. Got more beard. [01:07:16] Speaker A: When I saw it at the. The karaoke spot, I'm like, well, this really know how to work a room. He does. [01:07:22] Speaker D: He does. [01:07:22] Speaker B: That's because he gigolo part time. [01:07:24] Speaker D: I think that you have it too. The problem is that he has to know people. And not only that, I think that Keon just doesn't have this fear based around talking around to projection. [01:07:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:36] Speaker C: I don't care. Yeah. [01:07:37] Speaker A: See me, I feel like I'm going sound stupid. [01:07:39] Speaker D: Yeah. Tony Give a that part. [01:07:43] Speaker C: Too much, yo. [01:07:44] Speaker A: It's even like, yo, you watch Dragon Ball Z? [01:07:51] Speaker C: Think I'm like, what? [01:07:52] Speaker A: That's hilarious. We drinking. [01:07:55] Speaker C: What are you talking. [01:07:55] Speaker B: Like, what the Are you talking about? [01:07:57] Speaker C: Yeah, like, you listen to that new Corn album. I don't. I don't have that fear. It's like, I don't. [01:08:04] Speaker B: Like, I'm just. I don't give a. I'm here. [01:08:07] Speaker A: So, like, he said him and what's his name, Mick, they bonded very quickly. [01:08:12] Speaker C: Yeah, that's. My man's in there. [01:08:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:08:15] Speaker B: Like, we. [01:08:15] Speaker C: Let me tell her we grew up together. [01:08:18] Speaker B: I just walk around with the mentality like, what you going to do, punch me in my mouth? Like, that's how I feel about, like, what you going to do, punch me? Like, what's the worst that you can do to me that hasn't been done to me? So I don't really give a. I say what's on my mind the way it's on my mind. [01:08:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:08:30] Speaker C: And I think I. [01:08:31] Speaker D: My position, too, is that I spent a lot of time in D.C. and you realize that most people are faking. They're not being themselves. So I think that authenticity is a. [01:08:44] Speaker A: Power, and that's what you have. I think that's. That's important. The most important. [01:08:49] Speaker D: It helps you to claim the space. [01:08:51] Speaker A: That you're in, depending on who the you are. [01:08:54] Speaker B: And I think that's what Keon. [01:08:55] Speaker C: I think Keon walks in his office. Authenticity, and he has no fear about it. [01:08:59] Speaker A: So I was about to say, got no choice. [01:09:02] Speaker B: They don't got no choice. [01:09:04] Speaker C: I was about to say, yeah, I don't. [01:09:06] Speaker A: That's probably your superpower. [01:09:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:09:09] Speaker B: And remember when we first. [01:09:10] Speaker A: When we first did the part, I said, yo, you are a character. And you was like, what the that mean? I'm like, you got it. Whatever that it is, you got it, yo. Which is why. Try to get you on that other. Never mind, Never mind. [01:09:24] Speaker C: Wait, no, no. Sneak this in the night, baby. No, but, like, and it took me a while to believe that. And I. And I'm talking about, like, maybe like. Like, 21. Like, maybe I am. What the. They say? You know what I'm saying? And that's my. And like you said, that's my superpower. [01:09:42] Speaker A: Seen that when we went to the hookah spot. [01:09:45] Speaker B: Which one? [01:09:45] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:09:46] Speaker A: Birthday party one. [01:09:49] Speaker C: Hope. [01:09:49] Speaker A: Listen, listen. No, this is before we got to this point, man. My aunt came into town. Shout out to Danielle, shout out to San Francisco Bay area. She came into town, and my homegirl and the kid was having a birthday party at the Was on Bel Air Road. [01:10:05] Speaker C: Your bass. Yes. [01:10:06] Speaker A: Yeah. A whole section. [01:10:09] Speaker B: No random East Baltimore, right? [01:10:11] Speaker C: I'm not even obese. [01:10:12] Speaker D: I'm just a hookahead. [01:10:16] Speaker B: All I did was reference the location. [01:10:17] Speaker A: Yes. [01:10:18] Speaker B: I didn't say how trashy and shitty East Baltimore was. Thank you, Rhys. [01:10:22] Speaker C: I said what you say, though. [01:10:24] Speaker B: I didn't. [01:10:25] Speaker D: Have you seen. [01:10:26] Speaker B: Hold on, hold on. Wait. [01:10:26] Speaker A: Let's finish. [01:10:27] Speaker C: That's one part, baby. [01:10:28] Speaker A: So zone 15 to the joint, right? Everybody having a good time. It's a whole nother section that end up dancing with this nigga. [01:10:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:10:37] Speaker A: And that's when I was like, this nigga know how to work a room. [01:10:41] Speaker C: Next thing you know, I'm at the bar buying wood. Waters, y' all, ladies, deep waters. I'm buying waters. Sitting there, they want to be mad so bad. I'm like, as you know, I. I got a whole bunch of group of new friends that I've never seen since then. [01:10:57] Speaker A: That's why I said, like. In my opinion, when I say we, the. I'm saying, as far as, like, it's almost scary how this is coming together, right? Because it's like, all right, it's coming. [01:11:10] Speaker C: Together how you envisioned it to an extent. [01:11:13] Speaker B: Maybe he sees the potential, and the potential is reality for him, which is fine, right? Absolutely. [01:11:19] Speaker A: It's like. It's like, okay, I started this, all right? I'm starting it. Then I have someone who I feel is very entertaining to watch come into the fold, right? You know what I'm saying? Keon called me and came into the fold, right? Then we get Jeff to come in and he balance it, right? Because at one point in time, what was the complaint we was getting? We think too much alike. And I was like, it was a green light. That's probably why we get along, because. [01:11:48] Speaker C: We agree on a lot of our views. Be the same, right? Let it go, big dog. That was dead two minutes ago when you picked it up. He hit the button. [01:11:59] Speaker B: He. Yo, the. The. [01:12:01] Speaker C: Say the silent prayer. He was like, come on, let it go. Jesus Christ. I'm sorry. I locked in. He was like, that said. [01:12:11] Speaker B: I think nobody saw it. [01:12:13] Speaker C: I said, let it go. [01:12:15] Speaker B: This button four times and just keep flashing on me. [01:12:17] Speaker A: Hey, yo, my fault, my fault. [01:12:19] Speaker B: You good? [01:12:19] Speaker A: You good? [01:12:19] Speaker B: So then. [01:12:20] Speaker A: Then Jeff comes in the picture, and then he balances it, right? [01:12:24] Speaker B: Right? [01:12:25] Speaker A: Then Bri comes. Bri is the longest. Longest camera person we have. [01:12:29] Speaker B: Okay, Shout out to Bri. [01:12:30] Speaker A: Since we started this, she don't got no choice. [01:12:33] Speaker B: At this point, I'm gonna be outside your house. I know where you live at. [01:12:40] Speaker A: T comes into the fold. Yeah, he does. [01:12:42] Speaker C: Now you're gonna make me put cameras outside my house. [01:12:44] Speaker B: That's fine. I'm not coming on. No, yeah, I get it. I get it. [01:12:49] Speaker C: Be outside your door. I just want to talk to you. I just want to talk to you. Wait a minute. I'mma tell you a story. So Reese actually text me, like, yeah. So the nickel on your answer machine is like. [01:12:59] Speaker B: I'm like, it's a generator. [01:13:00] Speaker A: Like, what the Was it? AI. [01:13:02] Speaker B: It's one of the voice. One of the voice. One of the auto messages that creepy. [01:13:07] Speaker C: As he text me, and he's like, yeah, this Reese, I'm coming by to get one of the mics. Mind you, I never text that back. He was just like, yeah, by the way, the. With your X machine is creepy. [01:13:22] Speaker A: All right, hold up. So then T comes and does an interview, but then T's is giving me all this. Yo, you need to do this. You might need to do that. Yeah, you might want to do this. I said, yo, why don't you manage this? [01:13:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:13:38] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? And then you come. Hey, pause, pause. [01:13:43] Speaker C: Thank you. [01:13:44] Speaker A: And then six children. [01:13:45] Speaker B: I came a lot. [01:13:48] Speaker A: And then you. [01:13:51] Speaker B: You know how to start going the. [01:13:52] Speaker A: Audio show, which I'm not familiar with. So it's like. For me, it's like. That's why I say we the. Because everything has happened. [01:13:59] Speaker B: We are the. There's no disagreement there. [01:14:02] Speaker A: I mean, yes. Are there things we could do better? Yes, absolutely. But I think if we was to go up against any other podcast as far as within our region. Region, we would probably be the most entertaining one out of all of them. [01:14:13] Speaker B: Absolutely. I'mma punch them in the mouth so they not even going to be entertaining. [01:14:16] Speaker A: I'm not mad at the other ones that's out there. Shout out to y' all. You feel me? [01:14:20] Speaker B: Not real, though. Shout out to everybody, the home team. [01:14:23] Speaker A: But I'm just letting y' all know we coming for. [01:14:25] Speaker B: Coming for next. [01:14:26] Speaker C: Who am I? [01:14:26] Speaker B: Hey, who am I? [01:14:27] Speaker C: Reese, just one more hit. I swear to God. Leave it alone. [01:14:30] Speaker B: You mean that's who you are? You mean this morning? Look at the flashing red button. [01:14:35] Speaker C: Say, just give me one more head. And I swear to God, I'm. Put it down. [01:14:38] Speaker B: Just one more. [01:14:39] Speaker A: 320. All right, so we at. [01:14:42] Speaker B: Hey, all you other podcasters out there, if all you other black podcasters join the Black Podcasters association, because even though we coming at each other's necks. We need to figure out how to work together to build all of this. [01:14:53] Speaker A: It's love. [01:14:53] Speaker B: It's all love. [01:14:54] Speaker C: It's definitely all love. [01:14:56] Speaker A: I just. It's almost like that thing of what my man say. When he pulled up, he was like, you need to put your man on. [01:15:03] Speaker B: Give him a hat. [01:15:04] Speaker A: I got. I gotta cover every bump in your face. [01:15:06] Speaker C: Yeah. You know what I mean? [01:15:06] Speaker B: It's not like we, like.
