We noticed some fraudulent activity on your account. And I was already like, are you real? Is this a matter of fact? What's your operator ID number? I'm about to call Wells Fargo number right back, right? And ask, you know what I'm saying, And verify that you're a real person, right? So she's my operator ID number is this. Blah, blah, blah. She's like, if you had a different phone you want to call them on, I can hold. I was like, oh, she was on it.
[00:02:06] Speaker A: Yeah.

[00:12:13] Speaker A: But my week was cool. It wasn't stressful.
You know what I find surprising? Every time. So with my oldest son, I shared custody. And this. I hate this shit. But it just makes sense for my life when I don't have him. Life, like work is just smooth. I leave on time. Nobody want to go to trial, nothing. Just go home.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: Right?
[00:12:38] Speaker A: The week I had him, everything, Everything haywire. That's how everything is.

[00:12:48] Speaker D: It's the way the universe works for you.
[00:12:50] Speaker B: They don't want you to be home and spend that quality time with yourself. Somebody is preying on your downfall or something like that. You know what I mean?
[00:12:58] Speaker A: Absolutely. Well, let's go ahead and get into these topics. Just a side note for y'all out there, we are doing something new to. We felt like our last part was definitely a good part. And if anything, it was. It felt more authentic to us.
[00:13:13] Speaker B: Yeah, we was vibing.
[00:13:14] Speaker A: Yeah, we was vibing. Normally we have topics to talk about. I mean, we got topics, but normally we follow a certain structure. But I wanted to try something different and I wanted to freestyle it and just bring up things that, you know, we think about that we really don't get to. When we party sometimes there's a lot of things I don't get to.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: Yeah, because, you know, sometimes we go down rabbit holes and the rabbit holes is good, just like a form of the freestyle. But, you know, it's better. Like, I like this better. Like, you know, I mean, yeah, I can do either one. But this is. This is cool, though.
[00:13:48] Speaker A: But the other. But the other way is you got to do your homework. Sometimes you don't got time.
[00:13:52] Speaker B: Yeah, like, yo, he had like. But he was. He's very meticulous with the joint. Like, on Wednesdays, we have all the topics with the. With the. With Cliff Notes on top of that, linked to the actual video if you hadn't saw it. So it made you. It made you, you know, brush up on it just in case you didn't see it. But at the same time, I know me, I would look at it the day of or some of the stuff I. I saw already. But this is. I don't know, I feel more like.
[00:14:22] Speaker A: Relax, you know what I mean?
[00:14:25] Speaker D: When you hit me and invited me on this week, I had that issue. So I was like, okay, I want to come to the table with something.
[00:14:32] Speaker B: Right?
[00:14:33] Speaker D: And then, you know, the way my brain work, I jump off of cliffs. I. I do the deep dive all the time. So I deep dive into different topics. And I'm realizing, like, if I bring these things to the table, I'm going to be the only person with this much information about it. Possibly. Right, right.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: Right.
[00:14:48] Speaker D: So I don't.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: I'm online a lot, so.
[00:14:50] Speaker D: Well, forgive me. Yeah, I know him like that. We cool?
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:14:56] Speaker D: But we don't have time goes on. No, absolutely. You my now to be days a week. I fuck with you. But I didn't want to bring a topic to the table and then be the only talking about it. You feel what I'm saying? I had to walk back a lot of the shit I was going to bring to the table.
[00:15:14] Speaker A: Right. I feel like, though, like, depending on the topic, like I'm a dive into it.
[00:15:18] Speaker B: Like, I can find. I think we all have that ability to find something within the topic, even if we have a lot of knowledge about it, to find a point that. Okay, I can chime in here.
[00:15:29] Speaker D: Yeah, absolutely.
[00:15:31] Speaker B: I got this magic little device just in case. I don't know, pick up this good phone right here.
[00:15:41] Speaker D: I was thinking about this the other day. If you had to go to the encyclopedia, for your information.
[00:15:45] Speaker A: You want to hear the story about that? So look, right?
[00:15:52] Speaker D: That's how you know this funny. Start laughing at himself the way he say a word.

[00:16:38] Speaker B: Yeah.

[00:16:40] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:16:41] Speaker A: The one with the frosting.
[00:16:42] Speaker D: Because I never acquired.

[00:17:48] Speaker D: Yes, yes.
Encyclopedia Britannicas. You fucking smart encyclopedia.
[00:17:56] Speaker B: Smartest bitch by this moment.
[00:17:58] Speaker A: Yeah, I took that PlayStation, sold it and I got you that.
[00:18:01] Speaker D: Damn. He sold the PlayStation? He didn't really sell. Oh, I was about to say, sound good? That's insane.
[00:18:06] Speaker A: But I didn't find that out till summertime.
[00:18:07] Speaker D: Yeah, that shit was in the closet the whole time.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:18:10] Speaker C: That's a good dad right there.
[00:18:11] Speaker D: That's a great dad.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: But I was in hindsight.
[00:18:14] Speaker D: And the kid, though, hated that. I'm sure.
[00:18:18] Speaker B: I definitely hate you and you're the worst dad ever.
[00:18:20] Speaker A: But that was hilarious.
[00:18:23] Speaker D: No. Hell no.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Coming from the kitchen. Hell no. Like, yeah, I'm about to go.
[00:18:26] Speaker B: You already got your mind made up. What you about to do?
[00:18:29] Speaker D: You already there and you see a.
[00:18:30] Speaker A: Bunch of fucking fees.
[00:18:32] Speaker D: PlayStation 2. You was about to jump straight into twisted metal. This nigga was like, yo, no, I'm about to go kill.
[00:18:36] Speaker A: No, my shit was Tony Hawk back then.
[00:18:38] Speaker D: Oh, no, Tony Hawk.
[00:18:39] Speaker B: That game was fired though. Tony Hawk's fired instead. You gonna find.
[00:18:43] Speaker D: Tony would have looked up Tony Hawk. That's what he did. He would have looked up.
[00:18:46] Speaker A: This definitely came in handy though.
[00:18:48] Speaker D: Oh, like later on, like eighth grade.
[00:18:50] Speaker A: Ninth grade. Them shits came in handy.
[00:18:52] Speaker C: So outdated now.
[00:18:53] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
[00:18:55] Speaker A: Kids don't probably. Jacob probably don't even know what an encyclopedia is.
[00:18:59] Speaker C: My mother has like a collector set.
[00:19:01] Speaker A: So he knows who they are.
[00:19:02] Speaker D: I know. I've never seen an encyclopedia.
[00:19:05] Speaker A: For real.
[00:19:05] Speaker D: Nope. I was thinking about that earlier. Like the. That our kids will never experience.
[00:19:08] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Cause like. Like my little sister, she's 18.
[00:19:11] Speaker B: Yellow Pages.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Yeah. And I'm like. I remember one day, I was like, you know what a payphone is?
[00:19:15] Speaker D: She was like, nah, they're like this. You pay for this phone, right?
[00:19:20] Speaker A: DVD is.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: This is a payphone.
[00:19:22] Speaker A: Yeah, A vhs, a beeper. Like I remember. Then we get into a conversation about the two way.
[00:19:30] Speaker D: Cause I thought.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: Because I was wrong. I thought the first sidekick was just a two way. At first. Yeah. No, but it was a phone.
[00:19:37] Speaker D: It was a phone.
[00:19:37] Speaker B: It was a phone because Reference a video and some other shit.
[00:19:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. We had to look up the fact.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: Because I remember, I know for a.
[00:19:43] Speaker D: Fact I was there. Oh.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: What happened? I said my dad. I remember we watched the fab video and yes. My dad was like, yo, what the is that? And I remember he went and went and go, went and got it right. But I thought it was just a two way at first. Yeah.
[00:20:01] Speaker D: Nah, that's the whole phone.
[00:20:02] Speaker A: A two way.
Let me explain this two way paging back in the day, right? We couldn't text from our phones. We had to get a. A two way. And you could only two way. Somebody who has a two way.
[00:20:16] Speaker D: If they didn't have it two way, remember we would. That's not entirely true. You. Because they had some, some beepers had the capability of receiving text messages. They couldn't send text messages, but they could.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: That makes sense.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: I think not, not the one that, that you look at it like this one, but the one that was sideways.
[00:20:32] Speaker D: Yeah, sideways.
[00:20:33] Speaker A: You be on top.
[00:20:34] Speaker B: It was a side yard. I had a green one.
[00:20:36] Speaker D: You could two way back but you couldn't get.
[00:20:39] Speaker A: No, I remember my cousin gave me her beeper clear joint. It was real.
[00:20:43] Speaker D: They was fire.
[00:20:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I had a very clear one.
[00:20:47] Speaker D: Fire.
[00:20:48] Speaker A: They was fire.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: My dad gave it to me.
[00:20:49] Speaker D: They was fired.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: A Bieber. Back in the day, kids, you had.
[00:20:53] Speaker B: To find that thing called the paintball.
[00:20:56] Speaker D: Listen, I had the privilege of my father being in the technology space for work. So he always had the latest greatest device. Now my father was a who got high. Okay. That device eventually got sold, but he came home with the latest great. Like we had a laptop before I even knew what a computer was like when I was like four, this came home with a big ass box. I had a screen this big. It flipped open with a keyboard. You had to take a phone receiver and put it on the back of it to communicate. I used to play chess with a in China. That's how I learned to play chess at 4 years old. Yo was on that computer.
[00:21:32] Speaker A: That's crazy because like I'm thinking too. Like I don't know if you've seen this, but lately like, like I followed his 90s retro page and sometimes they'll post it. So they just recently posted a museum of phones. And when I saw that G1 and BlackBerry in there, I said, yeah, we can't be this okay, we are that. Me too.
[00:21:53] Speaker B: I had a G1.
[00:21:55] Speaker D: I hated those phones. I hated the BlackBerry had a BlackBerry.
[00:21:57] Speaker A: I remember BlackBerry.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: I remember them DBM messages.
[00:22:00] Speaker D: I hate the BlackBerry.
[00:22:01] Speaker A: I love my BlackBerry. Yo, arguing on a BlackBerry was like the best for me.
[00:22:05] Speaker D: Nah, yo'cause I knew a had the.
[00:22:09] Speaker A: T9 text like, oh, I'm about to flame your ass up.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: And it wasn't many people that had a BlackBerry like I was.
[00:22:18] Speaker A: And I bought mine from a pawn shop. That's crazy.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: Nah, I had.
[00:22:21] Speaker D: I had one brief.
[00:22:21] Speaker B: I had working.
[00:22:22] Speaker D: I got rid of that shit quick.
[00:22:23] Speaker B: Working. Fucking drug dealing parents. So, you know, I was afforded a lot of things that I probably didn't deserve or needed, but they felt.
[00:22:31] Speaker D: Who was your first phone? My first phone.
[00:22:35] Speaker B: Crazy about that. Is that my mother worked for Nextel.
[00:22:39] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:22:40] Speaker B: She was in the.
[00:22:40] Speaker A: So church was your first one.
[00:22:43] Speaker B: There's a certain department that she worked in.
Troubleshooting and all that other good stuff.
[00:22:49] Speaker D: Right.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: Telecommunications, whatever the it is. But nonetheless, my post, my first phone was a.
No, actually, I'm lying. It was that little Nokia with the snake game. Yeah.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Oh, the big joint. The. The blue. The blue, yeah.
[00:23:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I had that.
[00:23:04] Speaker A: Them shits used to like stay alive fat.
[00:23:06] Speaker B: Yeah, they never died. That was my first phone.
[00:23:08] Speaker C: And then.
[00:23:09] Speaker B: And then after that I had Nextels.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: I remember somebody said no kids was the first phone. They made a case to protect the floor.
[00:23:19] Speaker B: Couldn't break them bitches, bro.
[00:23:21] Speaker D: Nokia did make the first customizable cell phone though. Like you could change the face of the phone.
[00:23:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I remember that.
[00:23:27] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:23:27] Speaker A: You know what's crazy? I got hustled out of my first cell phone. And I've never told this story because I remember. I told my father I lost it, but I remember me.
[00:23:35] Speaker B: You gonna bitch your ass now?
[00:23:37] Speaker A: Nah, he ain't gonna do that. I remember me, my father, not me and my father. I remember me, my homeboy Adrian and our homeboy Josh. We went down on Liberty Heights right there. You know where the.
Did you know what fried chicken is?
[00:23:53] Speaker D: I know which New York project.
[00:23:54] Speaker A: Which one? Right there. Like right when little guys in Gwinok.

[00:24:02] Speaker A: Yeah, it's the one where the gas station and all that.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: Yeah, that's.
[00:24:05] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: That's how you say Josh went down.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: There to buy some teas or something. He was down there to buy something and there was a. In there doing the.
What's that game? You know.
[00:24:16] Speaker D: You know.

[00:24:22] Speaker B: My cousin. My cousin. Nice at that. He do that in the subways in New York.
[00:24:26] Speaker A: So I was like, I'mma. I'mma try my hand. You know what I'm saying? I'm thinking like, he's like, what you got?
[00:24:31] Speaker D: What you got?
[00:24:31] Speaker A: What you got? I'm like, I got this. This next tail, this chirp.

The one that went like this. The vertical church. Yeah, yeah.
So you know. Walkie talkie.
[00:24:43] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:24:44] Speaker A: So you know, I put that up for the bet. You feel me? He go through the thing. I'm thinking, I know exactly where the ball. Right there, bro. Lift it up. Ball ain't there. I'm like, what the fuck? But I. I felt like I paid attention, but then I learned from watching what's the Joint With Damon Wayans and Marley.

[00:25:20] Speaker D: With the cup. Yeah.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: So I'm like. I'm wondering, like, I just. When I ran, I was like, I wonder if that's what the.
[00:25:27] Speaker C: You really gave him your phone? Why didn't you run?
[00:25:29] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:25:30] Speaker D: Nah, we had to fight about the.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: Honest Abe over here.
[00:25:34] Speaker D: We had to fight about the street.
[00:25:36] Speaker C: With a ball in the cup.
[00:25:39] Speaker D: When I was 12.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: I was 12.
[00:25:42] Speaker D: Especially at 12. I'm flipping the table over and I'm running.
[00:25:46] Speaker B: I'm out of there.
[00:25:47] Speaker D: And you went to other.
You went to your homeboy. I would have felt like we could have took that.
[00:25:51] Speaker B: I'm giving you nothing.
[00:25:52] Speaker D: Like, I would have tried my hand. I was a fighter. I would have definitely put some in his mouth. Oh, no.
[00:25:55] Speaker B: I was a fighter.
[00:25:56] Speaker A: I didn't become a fighter until I got tied.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm not even a fighter with a rain.
[00:26:04] Speaker D: I punched him in the.
[00:26:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:08] Speaker B: Ass parents that I think I was.
[00:26:10] Speaker D: Told it wasn't even that. I just moved a lot.
[00:26:12] Speaker A: So for me, right.
[00:26:13] Speaker D: All right.
[00:26:13] Speaker A: So for me, right, like, the whole fighting thing, when I realized death was real.
[00:26:19] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:26:20] Speaker A: That's when I kind of like strayed away from Cuz before, I used to fight all the time, but when I remember, they tried to. Some people tried to off my uncle. And I saw. I saw that they in and I witnessed it. So it was like.
And then this is like six, seven years old. So I stayed away from fighting for a while, but until I got tired one day and I was just like, if I die, I die. It like, I'm not Gonna let these keep disrespecting me. I fought some twins, said something about my mother. I just was like, you know what? Quick story. That was funny. The nigga kept making fun of my mother. So I remember I told my father.
[00:26:55] Speaker B: He was like, you time me.
[00:26:57] Speaker A: You need to tell the teacher. I'm like, I'm not telling my teacher. Like, you wouldn't tell the teacher. I heard stories about you. You wouldn't tell no teacher. So the next day, I go in gym, yo, say something about my mom. I just walk to him.
[00:27:07] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:27:08] Speaker A: Just slap this.
Yeah.
[00:27:11] Speaker D: Wow.
[00:27:14] Speaker B: He like this out of his brain sluice.
[00:27:18] Speaker A: So as I. I'm. I'm nervous as shit, so I grab all my shit, right? So I hear somebody run. I'm like, this gotta be his brother. His brother jumped on my back. So when I went to Pikesville, they had these brick walls in the gym. So I just turned around, just throw you on the back of the wall and shit. This is when I realized I was big as shit. So it so happened to be Parent Teacher Day. Yeah. And this is back when they let the parents come to the school and shit.
So I'm at the locker. Remember on Juice when Bishop was at the locker? So I closed my locker.
[00:27:46] Speaker D: His father, it was right there.
Hold on, hold on.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: His father right there, right? Boom. He shut the locker. He like, you lost a big one.
[00:27:54] Speaker D: Somebody your own size.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: But I'm looking down at this.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: And.
[00:28:00] Speaker A: I'm like, yo, I really am biggest.
But we gonna be right back and finish these. We gonna start these topics. We just was rambling. But, you know, we'll be right back.
All right, y'all, we are back.
Let's get into these topics. So we was kind of rambling. I mean, I enjoyed it. I'm not gonna say I didn't. But, Leah, what we got first?
[00:28:34] Speaker C: First one is, do we spend too much time being consumed with paying bills and keeping up?
[00:28:40] Speaker A: I think so.
[00:28:41] Speaker B: Keeping up in the sense of what?
[00:28:43] Speaker A: I mean, I think everybody like, all right, so I know keeping up with the Joneses is like a thing. A thing, right? There's keeping up with the Joneses, and then it's also trying to just stay in the relevancy of what's happening.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:28:56] Speaker A: I think those are two completely different things. Because keeping up with the Joneses mean you really chasing behind.
[00:29:00] Speaker D: Yeah. Somebody's influencing you.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: You have keeping up with the times in this sense. You know what I'm saying?
[00:29:09] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:29:09] Speaker A: No wearing South Pole.
You want to stay within the fashion groups. I think Personally, the reason that may. Why I asked that question was because I was having a conversation with somebody at work, and we were talking about, like, me in the sense, but, like, my. My cologne collection.
And they was like, oh, you. You. You be having that shit. And I'd be like, yeah, but I know how to afford it, too. Like, I'm not, like, breaking my neck to get it.
Like, for some of you, I'm giving y'all some free game. Hit me up. So, like, and I was pissed when I found this out. So for my birthday last year, I had went to. Was it King of Persia? Pressure.
Right. So I originally went there to go get some Cartiers.
[00:29:59] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: But I ain't like, the service in the store, so I'm like, well, I want some cologne. So I go to. Was that. They got Neiman.
[00:30:09] Speaker D: They got both.
[00:30:10] Speaker B: They got both.
[00:30:11] Speaker A: I think I went to Neiman Marcus and I went and, you know, smell the. The Bond. You feel me, Tribeca?
And I'm like, yo, how much this? They're like, oh, that's 450. All right. It. I'm gonna get it. Right, right.
Come back home. I had actually ordered some cologne, and I forgot about it.
[00:30:33] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:30:33] Speaker A: But it was like, some. That I seen off of, like, Tick Tock or something that people would suggest. Matter of fact, I follow this guy called the Bow Tie Fragrance guy. So he be having some fight. So he'll show you how to not only buy the expensive, but the.
[00:30:48] Speaker B: The dupes good.
[00:30:50] Speaker A: So I bought a dupe, and that shit smelled exactly like Tribeca. I was pissed, but in the same sense. The only problem with the dupe was it was very alcoholic, and it didn't.
[00:31:00] Speaker B: Last, and it burned. So. So it more or less. It wasn't. It was a toilet versus being a perfume or elixir.
[00:31:09] Speaker D: Right.
[00:31:09] Speaker A: So in my research, I had found this website called fragrance.net.
[00:31:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:15] Speaker C: I use them all the time.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: Right. Didn't know about them.
[00:31:18] Speaker B: And then you got Joma Shop, too.
[00:31:19] Speaker A: Drummer Shop. Never heard of that one.
[00:31:21] Speaker B: Drummer Shop. Inspired, too.
[00:31:22] Speaker D: Never heard.
[00:31:22] Speaker A: I went on fragrance.net and that shit was half the price. And I was.
[00:31:29] Speaker D: Yeah, they do.
[00:31:30] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:31:30] Speaker A: Because fragrance.net I think it was like, two. They gave me a discount on it. So I think it came to, like, 2:30.
[00:31:38] Speaker D: It's the actual jiffy. Like, it's not even the gif.
[00:31:42] Speaker B: Jomashop is. It's like. It's like having Uber and Lyft. You might go on Lyft and see that the price too high. So you go check On Uber. And they. It's like three. Theirs may be $3 cheaper. So you sell.
[00:31:53] Speaker D: Well, no. The fragrance.net do they. They sell the.
What do they call. I just had a word in my head and I just lost it. Like the ones that they mess up. So like it might be a problem with the bottle. It might be.
[00:32:05] Speaker B: It's like so. So there's. It's like a Marshalls.
[00:32:08] Speaker D: Yeah. Well, no, Marshalls sell last season items.
[00:32:10] Speaker B: But they also sell defective.
[00:32:12] Speaker D: Right.
[00:32:13] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying?
[00:32:13] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:32:14] Speaker B: They also sell defective items.
[00:32:15] Speaker D: I didn't know that about Marshalls.
[00:32:16] Speaker B: I thought it was just a Steve.
No, no, it's Marshalls. Marshalls. TJ Maxx.
[00:32:23] Speaker A: That's crazy.
[00:32:23] Speaker B: Yeah, but yeah, they is.
[00:32:25] Speaker D: I know they all sell previous. Like the previous seasons.
[00:32:28] Speaker B: Yeah, previous seasons and also stuff with.
[00:32:31] Speaker D: Yeah, that's what fragrance.net do. They. They sell defective merchandise.
[00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah, Joma Shop does as well. Then they have just the. The show enough that. But it's always cheaper than going in a store. But you know, even like with me, I'm into cologne.
I'm not gonna say that I have as many as you or who has the most. But you know, people out there, you know, ladies and men, if y'all can. If y'all can help it, if you're not gonna buy a perfume or elixir, just don't buy it. Stop buying that toilet.
[00:33:07] Speaker D: You agree? Yeah. No.
[00:33:08] Speaker B: No toilets.
You wasting your money. You might as well carry the bottle of cologne of perfume in your pocket because it's gonna wear by the end of the day.
[00:33:15] Speaker D: I'm gonna keep it a whole buck with you in a cologne game because I collected. So watches in cologne is my thing. All right.
[00:33:21] Speaker A: Watches is my thing too.
[00:33:23] Speaker D: Watches. That's. That's. I got my wife. When I got married, my wife got me a custom made watch boxes. That's how much I'm in the watch watches. So it's a. The service they be advertising online for this. What's the cologne joint? Scentbird.
[00:33:37] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:33:38] Speaker D: Spend 20amonth because you get to try colognes and not have the obligation of buying them if you don't like them. And then if you do like the cologne, they'll sell it to you at a discounted rate.
[00:33:48] Speaker B: Okay, so now are they. Are they the question. I'm sorry, no. So with Scentbird, they're sending you samples of let's say bond number nine New York nights. They're sending you a December.
[00:33:59] Speaker D: Yeah. They sample of a 1.7 ounce.
[00:34:01] Speaker B: And then if you like it you have the option to buy the actual size bottle.
[00:34:05] Speaker D: Absolutely.
[00:34:05] Speaker B: So do you pick your, your cologne system?
[00:34:08] Speaker D: Yeah, it's like you, you create a cube.
[00:34:10] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:34:11] Speaker D: Three colognes at a time. Three months. You know what I'm saying? Three months at a time.
My subscription, I get two a month. I don't get one. I've been with them for a while, so they got me to two a month. And I select the ones I want and they send me those two. And if I don't select something, they send me things that people who like the selections I've made also have chosen.
[00:34:33] Speaker B: So they actually popular?
[00:34:35] Speaker D: Well, no, no, no. They don't get into the popular because I'm not like a woody smell type of cologne. I don't like woody smelling Colog.
[00:34:42] Speaker B: That's more for one of them.
[00:34:43] Speaker D: Yeah, facts.
[00:34:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I wear my colognes and season. Like right now I got on Tribeca mixed with a little bit of tobacco. Tom Ford.
[00:34:50] Speaker B: Right. So I like layering and they say like with layering and I've tried it myself as well. You know, if you do a oaky scent, your second scent that you layer it with should be more of a sweeter scent.
[00:35:03] Speaker D: No, no, facts.
[00:35:04] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying?
[00:35:05] Speaker D: I'm just not a wood. I'm not a woodsy smelling.
[00:35:07] Speaker A: That's not what I do. But hold on.
[00:35:08] Speaker B: I mean, you can mix the two together.
[00:35:10] Speaker A: Let's get back on the topic.
[00:35:12] Speaker C: I like where y'all was going, but what did this happen to do with the question?
[00:35:16] Speaker A: Sorry.
[00:35:19] Speaker C: What was the question?
[00:35:20] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:35:24] Speaker A: The question was, are we finding people that keep up? You know, are we living life too much with keeping up, Keeping up and.
[00:35:33] Speaker B: And, or paying bills?
That's, that's one of, one of the.
[00:35:39] Speaker A: Look, I had, I had a chick once tell me, like, this is when I had first jumped into the career field that I'm in. And the money wasn't adding up to me because when I did security, I was making more money, but I had to work more. So I thought going into that field would have, you know, I would have made more money especially. And I had to work as hard, right. I was used to bringing home like 1800 at the time, right? And I was bringing home like nine. Yeah, 900. That shit was crazy. But I remember she said, you know, you be stressing yourself out. She was like, fuck it. If you overdraft, you overdraft. Like, nah, I can't lie.
[00:36:13] Speaker B: No, you shouldn't live your life like that, but you shouldn't revolve Your life around the next bill you gotta pay either. Like yes, be responsible. But you can't live your life to fucking the balance. Yeah, you have to have a balance. You can't live your life and pay bills.
[00:36:31] Speaker D: I want what I want when I want it. But I also want my family to be secure and safe. Right? So I gotta make sure that the house is paid for. I gotta make sure that the lights are paid for, that the heat works in the winter time.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: And.
[00:36:43] Speaker D: And I gotta make sure I have three months of that just in case some go wrong. Right. But at the same time, you know, y'all. I'ma go spend 300 on the dinner. Like if I for me gonna go eat the steak at the place once.
[00:36:56] Speaker A: I got put on the stick.
[00:36:57] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying?
Like no, you can't. We will do outback on a. On a whim. Like just on some. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I just picked it up from the train station. It's 9:30. So. Yeah, we'll Google grass.
[00:37:08] Speaker A: I'm more of a longhorn person, but I feel that.
[00:37:11] Speaker D: Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.
[00:37:12] Speaker B: Texas row house got a fire state too.
[00:37:16] Speaker D: I don't like Texas row house. Texas out back.
[00:37:19] Speaker B: And they cooked it.
Let's not confuse that with all Texas roadhouse. I'm talking about one in particular that I had went to and the steak was fire. My expectations were very, very high.
[00:37:31] Speaker A: Hold on, just a side note, right. I just had this thought. We getting away from the question, but fuck it. Do y'all think there is a difference from a restaurant being in a more rural area than urban region?
[00:37:46] Speaker D: Yes, absolutely.
[00:37:48] Speaker A: I'm sorry, that's not where I was trying to go.
What she mean where white people live?
[00:37:55] Speaker B: Absolutely. The dynamics change.
[00:37:57] Speaker C: I give me the Walmart nigga. The Walmart Libby Road right here versus the Walmart Liberty Road in Eldersburg is two entire days.
[00:38:03] Speaker D: It's too highly places.
[00:38:05] Speaker A: I ain't gonna hold you for a while.
[00:38:07] Speaker B: I'll.
[00:38:07] Speaker A: I would go to the Marshalls in Sykesville versus the Marshalls because they have better quality things.
[00:38:16] Speaker B: The Kohl's in Sykesville is fire like they little athletic.
[00:38:20] Speaker D: The Noodles & Co. In Sykesville they just give it to.
[00:38:24] Speaker B: Be the same restaurant.
[00:38:25] Speaker D: But quality.
[00:38:26] Speaker B: But it's the.
[00:38:28] Speaker D: And it's keeping it a stack and a half. It ain't about the place. It's about the people that work in the places.
[00:38:33] Speaker A: That's true.
[00:38:33] Speaker D: And the people that work in places are normally the people that are remote to that area. Area. And unfortunately Those places have people who hold like they care about the quality of work more than other places. And, I mean, that's just fact of the matter.
[00:38:48] Speaker A: I ain't gonna hold you. If I walk into a Chipotle and I see a bunch of teenagers in.
[00:38:52] Speaker D: There, I'm walking out like, listen, it's a Chipotle and Foundry Row. It's a Chipotle up by Trader Joe's. I'm going to the one to Trader Joe's.
[00:39:00] Speaker B: Foundry Row is the worst place you walking in.
[00:39:03] Speaker D: Guacamole on the door, yo, 3:00 in the afternoon.
[00:39:08] Speaker B: They don't have anything.
[00:39:09] Speaker D: They have nothing. We're out of chicken. We're out of racks. We're out of rice.
[00:39:13] Speaker B: I took my kids there one night, right? I said, y'all want chipotle for dinner? They're like, yeah. So I'm like, all right. I could drive up to the one by Franklin. I could go half. I had just got to work. I didn't feel like it. So we went to the one and found your room. I knew better, but I did it anyway, right? So my kids get in there. I say, you know, y'all order y'all food. I'm not ordering it for y'all. Y'all gotta start. Y'all talk, you know what I'm saying? Like, they old enough to order their own food. So everything my son was asking for, they like, we don't have that. He looking back at me, I'm like, all right, what else you want? He like, nigga, get me the fuck outta here.
Got a bowl of rice.
[00:39:50] Speaker A: I'm literally like, no, bullshit. Cause I like guac. I know a lot of people don't.
[00:39:54] Speaker C: Like, I love guac, yo.
[00:39:56] Speaker D: I don't. I don't like avocado at all.
[00:39:59] Speaker B: That texture.
[00:39:59] Speaker D: That's the texture of it.
[00:40:02] Speaker A: With that salad dressing they had.
[00:40:04] Speaker D: No, the honey vinaigrette is. Yeah, yeah, the vinaigrette, yo, listen, I've literally. That honey vinaigrette is top tier.
[00:40:09] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:40:09] Speaker D: Like, that shit is top tier.
[00:40:11] Speaker B: Reese.
[00:40:11] Speaker D: Whatever.
[00:40:12] Speaker B: And then I do this, right? I get a side of sour cream, and I pour the vinaigrette in the sour cream, whip it up, and then drizzle that twin on the lamb that on my eggs.
[00:40:20] Speaker D: Nick, I'm fired.
[00:40:23] Speaker A: Listen, listen. I'm fire. Had them make me a bowl. Got to the end, right?
[00:40:28] Speaker D: And it didn't have honey vinaigrette.
[00:40:30] Speaker A: And I don't want the bowl.
[00:40:31] Speaker D: I don't want the bowl, right?
[00:40:33] Speaker B: I'm on the bowl.
[00:40:35] Speaker D: I asked that question first. When I get this, when I go to Chipotle. Hey, do y'all have any honey and vinaigrette? Cool. Then we go. All of us gonna place our order. Like. Cause I got everybody in the house on it. Like, it's.
[00:40:45] Speaker B: Yeah, like that completes the bowl. Without that, take it back.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: There's no point. Like, most of the times when I go to Chipotle, I'm feeding for the guac and the honey vinegar.
[00:40:55] Speaker D: So. Yeah, the guac. I can't fuck with you. Honey vinegar.
[00:40:58] Speaker B: Yeah, that's my shit.
[00:40:59] Speaker D: That honey vinaigrette's so good. I go to Taco Town when I. When I'm at work. It's a spot called Taco Town. It's two up downtown. I go to Taco Town and get my food, then go to Chipotle to get the honey vinegar wrap.
[00:41:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. You fuck with that?
[00:41:08] Speaker D: Yeah, I fuck with it. Like that.
[00:41:09] Speaker A: Look.
[00:41:09] Speaker B: Then I. This my fat shit. So they like, do you want tortilla chips? No. I go to the. To the Wawa, Whatever store is close, and I get that blazing buffalo blueberry Doritos.
[00:41:21] Speaker D: Nah, nigga. My daughter put me onto that one. She did. But, yeah, that's my. I don't know the dance.
[00:41:29] Speaker B: Oh, that's the I'm happy dance.
[00:41:30] Speaker D: I'm happy dance.
But back to the question at hand. I do feel like it comes with a level of maturity where you realize, like, you care about your comforts and your needs more than what you care about other people's opinions of what you have. Have. And that just come with that. That come with a lot.
[00:41:52] Speaker A: That's the funny thing about adulthood, like, once you get to a certain age. Because, like, I find myself in that space too, just in general overall. And I know it's a little off subject, but somebody was telling me it's a song going viral with. I can't. It's a. It's. It's how I go. Like, Drake goes, too.
[00:42:12] Speaker B: Yeah. No, so. Yeah, he redid the.
[00:42:14] Speaker A: What beat was that?
[00:42:15] Speaker B: I just wanna.
Whose song is that? They got a line. Dance to it when I say something to me. Yes.
[00:42:25] Speaker A: So somebody was like.
[00:42:27] Speaker D: Because they call that Y and B now. Yeah.
[00:42:29] Speaker A: So young. I had posted a song from the west coast, and I was like, yo, I miss. When music was kind of regional.
[00:42:38] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:42:38] Speaker A: Where you, like, you would hear a.
[00:42:40] Speaker D: Song, you know, the. From the west coast, or you would.
[00:42:42] Speaker A: Hear something down South. Yeah, you would know. And she. She was like, hey, I missed that too. She Was like, but I like this song. And I'm like, yo, I'm in a space where, like, I want my R B to be R B. I don't want to hear you killing, you killing.
So it's like the same way with, like, my bills and, like, it's like.
Like, I'm in a space where it's like, yeah, I might want something at the time, but if it don't make sense to have, I'm not about to get it. Just that part.
[00:43:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I passed up on a lot of things that I may want. I ain't gonna say all of them, but I pass up on a lot of things. I'm like, you know what? Now is probably not the time, but, like, y'all was saying, like, I'm also at the age. Like, yeah, I like clothes and sneakers. That's like my bag or whatever the case may be. But, you know, it's certain things that it really doesn't. Like, yes, they're nice. You know what I'm saying? But I don't have to have them. Like, I like that. You know, my car is fully functional whatever year it may be. So ain't no lights on on the dashboard.
[00:43:46] Speaker D: Right.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: I'm good with that.
[00:43:47] Speaker A: Once you get to a certain age, it's more about the comfortability. Like, it's like that part, do I want to be comfortable or do I want to be in whatever fits? Whatever this item is, do I want the clout from that? Which, nine times out of 10, you not really going to get it. Like, like, in the sense of like.
All right, all right. Quick story. I remember when troos, like, became a.
[00:44:08] Speaker B: Thing, you always got a quick story. It's never quick.
[00:44:11] Speaker A: It is quick. And I remember I went tell a long story.
[00:44:15] Speaker C: Long.
[00:44:16] Speaker B: I remember I went straight up.
[00:44:18] Speaker A: Hold on, let me get this off. I remember I went and bought the tr. It was like threesome, right? Right. I'm like, yeah, I'mma the bitches up with this. I ain't get no pussy at all. Right. Took them shits right back, which is.
[00:44:31] Speaker D: Like, she's about to walk out the.
[00:44:32] Speaker C: Door, and, yeah, yeah.
[00:44:37] Speaker B: Gonna be like this.
[00:44:39] Speaker D: Yeah, you rationalize shit like that in your. Like, niggas really do think like that, though.
[00:44:43] Speaker A: Cause no, bullshit. I had that experience with my iPhone. So, like, at a time, that's all.
[00:44:47] Speaker D: It takes is one.
[00:44:48] Speaker C: You got the pussy just off of pulling out the iPhone. Yeah, nigga, I would hate that story. Yeah, she's not, and I'm not.
[00:44:54] Speaker B: I know that that happened to You. But she's just clearly. She was an airhead.
[00:45:00] Speaker A: No, I got a couple.
Their airhead.
[00:45:03] Speaker D: Cause that was the time you like.
[00:45:04] Speaker A: All right, so it's this book I read called Start with Water. And pretty much the book speaks on, like, why certain entities or companies do well. So the book has spoke on why Apple was doing better than Android, even though Android technically would have been the better.
[00:45:28] Speaker D: The better phone.
[00:45:29] Speaker A: The better phone. Well, it was speaking on MP3 players.
[00:45:31] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:45:32] Speaker A: Why Android was really the better MP3 player. Because you remember. Remember the Zoom Minis? The Zooms?
Most people thought those were better as far as electronically than it was.
[00:45:44] Speaker D: Yeah, the Microsoft joint.
[00:45:45] Speaker A: Right. But I had one. The thing I. I had two of them. The thing with Apple was Apple. Apple shows you a lifestyle.
[00:45:53] Speaker D: That part.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: A way of living, that part. So essentially, when I took that phone out, it. It gave me some kind of stats.
[00:46:00] Speaker D: Yeah, absolutely.
[00:46:02] Speaker A: So I think.
[00:46:03] Speaker D: No, that's it. Right? Like, I had the iPhone when it dropped.
[00:46:05] Speaker A: You feel me?
[00:46:06] Speaker D: I was day one iPhone, right. I'm team Android, Team Galaxy, to be specific. Every day of the week now. But I had the iPhone from the first one up to the 10, I think it was. And it was just that. So you pull the iPhone out, people look at you like they really would look at you.
[00:46:22] Speaker A: Back when they first was, like, once they got to, like, the 11, niggas was snatching those. Yeah, people were snatching phones at that point. Like, I remember back in the day, niggas was snatching, like, the next tellers and shit.
[00:46:31] Speaker D: But they would have died.
So, sorry.
[00:46:34] Speaker A: But that's how I felt about the truth. I thought, like, the truth was gonna get me some.
[00:46:37] Speaker B: I think we all, like, you know, you get dressed, you know, for the. Not for the most part, but you get dressed, like, yeah, you feeling yourself, right. And you hope that somebody acknowledges, hey, man, you look nice today. You'd be like, yes, take us one.
[00:46:51] Speaker C: Killed them.
[00:46:52] Speaker B: Killed them today.
[00:46:53] Speaker D: I was trying to kill him.
[00:46:54] Speaker A: But at that point, it was just. At the time, it was just like, if you. I mean, that was just my thinking at the time. It wasn't. But yes, I ultimately felt stupid, but, yes. Let's go on to the next topic. What we got next?
[00:47:07] Speaker C: All right, so LeBron apparently approached Stephen A. Smith at the basketball game for Stephen A's comments against his son. So what do you got thoughts on it?
[00:47:17] Speaker D: As he should.
[00:47:18] Speaker B: Yeah. That he should have.
[00:47:19] Speaker D: Not gonna talk crazy about my kids. Any situation.
[00:47:21] Speaker A: I'm disagree with you, and I'm gonna say that because your son is in a sport and in the spot, like. Cause think about it. No, I feel like there are other players who came into the sport who didn't have the father that was in the sport or whatever the case may be. There are other players who had to experience that criticism differently than Bronnie because.
[00:47:43] Speaker B: Kyrie Irving father got active.
[00:47:46] Speaker A: I mean, but Kyrie Irving father is. He was someone who played in sports. I'm speaking to the people that came from, like, rather broken homes or their parents never played the sport.
[00:47:56] Speaker D: Right.
[00:47:57] Speaker A: They had to take on that criticism full speed. I don't think Ronnie's above that.
[00:48:04] Speaker D: No, I don't think he's above criticism.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: But it was the manner in which. How Stephen A. Was talking. Like, it wasn't just like.
[00:48:12] Speaker A: But he talks about that about everybody.
[00:48:14] Speaker B: Yeah, but it just sounded real greasy.
[00:48:16] Speaker A: I mean, but it's the truth, so.
[00:48:17] Speaker D: No, Stephen is spiky. Stephen A. Smith is very spike spicy in general. He is like.
[00:48:23] Speaker A: And.
[00:48:23] Speaker D: And I can. You know, I don't necessarily care for his commentary all the time, but he doesn't pick and choose who he acts like that towards. He's like that.
[00:48:31] Speaker C: He remind me of Uncle Tom. He's on my nerves.
[00:48:34] Speaker D: His hairline.
[00:48:35] Speaker C: Yes, his hairline.
[00:48:36] Speaker D: His hairline gets so.
[00:48:37] Speaker A: I hate that thing of. I hate the Uncle Tom thing now that I know who Uncle Tom really was. But go ahead.
[00:48:43] Speaker C: You want to dive into that.
[00:48:45] Speaker A: So Uncle Tom gets. I can't remember the other guy's name, but he gets confused with this other person. Person. The Uncle Tom was really based on the person who really helped slaves. Like, he got his freedom, moved to Canada, helped slaves on the underground world, even came back to help slaves. So somehow his name got misconstrued.
[00:49:06] Speaker D: But, I mean, he aligned himself with Caucasian people, so he was looked at like he was one of them.
[00:49:14] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:49:15] Speaker D: But he was actually helping.
[00:49:16] Speaker B: But his move was to do the ladder. But you know what I'm saying? Like, with Stephen A. It was like, all right, cool. I respect you as a journalist, but it gotta be a line somewhere like. Like, easy. Like. Like easy on my son.
[00:49:32] Speaker D: It don't have to be a lot. So I'm very. I'm. I'm more black and white about it because it's my child.
[00:49:38] Speaker A: LeBron James. You're not doing it.
[00:49:40] Speaker D: No, not at all.
[00:49:41] Speaker A: Not at all.
[00:49:43] Speaker D: But that's not true if you're not LeBron James. You're still saying that. But you don't have the. You don't have. Have the. The position to be able to say that to Stephen A. Smith to his face. But you at home, like, watch. You best believe.
You best believe KD mother is in the crib. I better not ever see a blah, blah, blah. You know what I'm saying? Like, but when you, LeBron James, you have the capabilities of stepping towards even.
[00:50:05] Speaker B: Saying that he stood on that.
[00:50:07] Speaker D: And I'm not, I'm not mad at it.
[00:50:09] Speaker A: I'm not mad at it. I felt, I get it as a father, but also it's like this son is in a space where he's going to be criticized.
[00:50:16] Speaker B: Yeah, right. He came at him. He came at him from a father's angle, not as a. Not as Los Angeles Lakers LeBron. He came up as Bronny's father. And then that next morning that got up on there with that lavender suit on and big Apollo, he apologized. He apologized, stood on business and then apologized again. I said, God damn.
[00:50:41] Speaker D: Listen, I'm not mad at Stephen A. Smith.
[00:50:42] Speaker B: He's gotta hold your ground.
[00:50:45] Speaker D: Being true to who he is, he's.
[00:50:47] Speaker C: Like, you know, this is what I.
[00:50:48] Speaker B: Get paid paid for. So if you get checked, you going.
[00:50:51] Speaker D: You might get checked.
[00:50:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I would say so. I'm not even a big, huge sports fan, but I've heard a couple people talk about this topic already and nobody talked about it from Bronnie's standpoint, like, how does he feel as he's also a.
[00:51:03] Speaker B: It's got to be embarrassing.
[00:51:04] Speaker A: It is. But I think too, like, at this.
[00:51:07] Speaker B: He'S hold his Bronnie.
[00:51:09] Speaker A: He should be like 21 somewhere around. But I think he.
This goes back to like the Jordan situation because I actually played against Jeffrey and Jeffrey wasn't as nice as I thought he would be being Michael Jordan's son.
[00:51:23] Speaker D: Right.
[00:51:26] Speaker A: I think children who try to follow up behind a parent who was great in the sport, they have it rough.
[00:51:34] Speaker C: How do you think he felt after seeing that exchange? Like, do you think he felt proud that his dad stood up for him? Or do you think he felt embarrassed?
[00:51:41] Speaker A: If it's me, if it's me, I'mma feel embarrassed.
[00:51:44] Speaker D: I think he felt, but I think Bronnie been feeling embarrassed. I think that when Bronnie got sent down to the G League, his confidence took the biggest hit that it could possibly take. And any and everything else that that has happened since, including this only makes it worse for him.
[00:51:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:52:00] Speaker D: Because he already has a. An expectancy because of who he is and who his father is. And no, it's. It's almost tragic. But I It's really hard for me to feel sorry for Millionaires.
It then you look back at a thousand days, and then it was so hard for me.
[00:52:21] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:21] Speaker D: Cause to feel bad. Oh, yeah.
[00:52:24] Speaker B: But then you look crazy because it's like you got your dad fighting your battles. Not saying that he told his dad.
[00:52:31] Speaker A: I mean, that's how it looks, though.
[00:52:32] Speaker B: We don't know if he told his dad.
[00:52:34] Speaker D: Well, he probably did.
[00:52:35] Speaker B: No, like, he probably. I'm just. And this is. I wasn't there.
[00:52:39] Speaker C: Had me in a locker room now talking shit in your father.
[00:52:42] Speaker B: But he probably expressed his feelings about it towards that. This is my assumption. I don't know. Know, because I. I believe that there is a reason why LeBron felt compelled to say something. But even then, like, I. I mean, I feel as though me, if I'm trying to stand on my own, too. I. I would open up to my parent and tell them what I had going on, but at the same time, I would tell my dad, I handle it because I don't want to be looked at like I'm a ass.
[00:53:09] Speaker D: I can't handle it. I could be very wrong. I mean, I think Bronnie cries in the house. Or like, Bronnie looks like he cries a lot now. I'm sorry. Hey, he said that I cried a lot.
[00:53:19] Speaker A: I do think, though, I mean, just a side note, how do you feel about a parent, a sibling who plays the sport better than you?
[00:53:32] Speaker D: Oh, if I'm Jello. I hate my brothers. Both of them.
[00:53:35] Speaker A: Because the. What's Brian and Sibyl, though? Hold on.
[00:53:38] Speaker D: What's Bronnie Young's son name? What's Bronnie Young's son name? Bryce.
[00:53:42] Speaker A: That.
[00:53:42] Speaker D: Oh, Bryce is. Yo, Bryce.
[00:53:44] Speaker A: Yo.
[00:53:45] Speaker D: But the youngest one, always the best version, no matter what the siblings. Who the siblings you talk about. The youngest one is always the best version because they watch everything they own.
[00:53:54] Speaker B: Jordan's son. Sons. Who is the other one? The coke sniffer?
[00:53:58] Speaker A: The. No, no.
[00:53:59] Speaker D: Jeffrey's a young.
[00:54:00] Speaker B: Yeah, okay.
[00:54:00] Speaker A: But he wasn't nice.
[00:54:02] Speaker D: He was 19, brother.
[00:54:03] Speaker A: So all my sons is bums. I would say they both. But it was nothing. It was nothing.
[00:54:09] Speaker B: We beat them.
They not. Not as skilled as their father. Yeah. Because I. And I think. I think a little bit that when you don't have. As like Jordan had hardship to make it to the league.
You know what I'm saying?
[00:54:24] Speaker A: Like, to an extent.
[00:54:25] Speaker B: To an extent not. You know what I'm saying?
[00:54:27] Speaker D: They grew up millionaires. They didn't have.
[00:54:30] Speaker C: They make it to the league.
[00:54:35] Speaker A: Yeah, my thing is.
[00:54:36] Speaker D: My thing is.
[00:54:37] Speaker A: My thing is.
[00:54:38] Speaker B: But he just loves.
[00:54:38] Speaker A: I mean, Kobe's another good example of.
[00:54:40] Speaker B: That, too, but because his father was the truth.
[00:54:42] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's like, if you got. If that's in you, that's in you. Yeah, that's just what it is.
[00:54:47] Speaker D: Facts. That's facts.
[00:54:48] Speaker A: If it's in you, it's in you. It's like, that's facts. I remember I hearing a story about Kobe Jordan. He had on a pair of Jordans, and Jordan told him, they some shoe. What do you say?
They some hard shoes to fill.
[00:55:01] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:55:01] Speaker A: And they said, this Kobe ain't talk for, like, 30 days until they played him.
[00:55:04] Speaker D: They played him again.
[00:55:06] Speaker A: Like, that's a different type of nigga.
[00:55:07] Speaker D: That's a different type of nigga.
So I didn't have the respect I had for Colby until I was older because I was a big Jordan fan and I was a big LeBron fan.
[00:55:17] Speaker A: And I was a big Iverson fan.
[00:55:19] Speaker D: I loved Allen Iverson.
He was my favorite point guard to ever play until Steph Curry came along. But I never gave Kobe his reverence while he played basketball, because to me, he was just a better. He wasn't a better version. He didn't do anything greater than Michael Jones Jordan. And then LeBron came and was greater than him, in my opinion. So. But once I started hearing stories about Colby and his work ethic and the.
[00:55:45] Speaker A: Type of thing and.
[00:55:46] Speaker D: And not even just that, but the tenacity that he had, like, once something happened to him, like, once you did something to him and the way he took it and. And made that his motivation and his reason for doing. I was like, yo, this was different, bro. Like, this was.
[00:56:01] Speaker A: I remember.
I remember when they did the. When they had the Olympic team, and they was. He was saying, like, how Kobe would go to the gym at, like, yeah, five in the morning.
[00:56:11] Speaker D: They was going. They was coming back from partying, and he was on his way to the gym while they coming in the crib for partying. Yeah. Like, that's worth.
[00:56:18] Speaker A: I think is.
[00:56:19] Speaker D: Is unreal. And it show. Like, it showed.
[00:56:22] Speaker C: Like.
[00:56:22] Speaker D: Like, it definitely showed.
[00:56:24] Speaker A: And not to say, like, LeBron don't do that type of. But, I mean, I don't really know why LeBron gets the hate. Hate that he does. He is a phenom, in a sense, but I do kind of understand, like, the whole aspect of not having that mentality as a Michael or Colby, because it's like, bro, if you had that mentality, you probably would have way More rings. But for some people, it's not that.
[00:56:49] Speaker D: When you say that mentality, because I don't think. I don't think LeBron's work ethic is.
Is on. Is matched at his level. No, no. That's what I'm saying. But the killer mentality.
[00:57:00] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:57:00] Speaker D: He don't have that killing.
[00:57:03] Speaker A: Yeah. And I don't.
[00:57:04] Speaker B: And I think let's put a pet in this real quick, and we gonna come right back.
[00:57:07] Speaker A: How much time we got?
[00:57:09] Speaker C: One minute, 14 seconds.
[00:57:10] Speaker A: Hold on. I'm say this before we end it.
[00:57:12] Speaker B: Oh.
[00:57:13] Speaker A: I just think with LeBron, if he had that killer mentality, he definitely would, one, have more reigns. Two. I just feel like for some people, once they make it to the league, they just grateful for being where they are.
[00:57:27] Speaker D: You think that was LeBron's case?
[00:57:29] Speaker A: Yeah, I think he's, like, grateful. Just, you know, I'm here. I'm LeBron. I am who I am. I'm doing what I'm doing. But for some people, it's just deeper than that. You get what I'm saying? They take shit personal. Like, Michael took shit personal. Kobe took shit personal. I just think LeBron just don't take shit personally.
[00:57:44] Speaker D: No. So I agree with that. Yeah.
[00:57:46] Speaker A: I just don't agree with that. But we gonna be right back. Give us about 32nd.
[00:58:12] Speaker B: You looking at. You heard the goddamn cool clips.
[00:58:15] Speaker D: Look, I look right, I look left. I look at the camera.
Nigga there neither one of these want to talk.
[00:58:26] Speaker A: All right, we back.
[00:58:29] Speaker B: This want to fight, Leah, he upset.
[00:58:35] Speaker D: Who's counting this?
[00:58:37] Speaker B: Keep telling my. Keep telling my short stories. Long story long.
[00:58:41] Speaker A: What we got next, Leah?
[00:58:42] Speaker C: We about to have a segment called Long story.
[00:58:44] Speaker B: Long Story long solo by Tony.
[00:58:48] Speaker A: What we got next, Leah? Yeah, Places to be and Mexico and. Right.
[00:58:57] Speaker D: Stop laughing, nigga. What's the next topic?
[00:59:00] Speaker C: All right, so we just stand with athletes. Anthony Edwards not taking care of his child.
[00:59:05] Speaker B: Oh, no. Next.
[00:59:14] Speaker A: Nah, but we talked about this. Off topic. I mean, off camera. Amber, I think he wrong.
[00:59:20] Speaker D: I think that's hockey trash.
[00:59:22] Speaker A: It is.
[00:59:22] Speaker D: That's just my personal opinion. But you heard a but.
[00:59:28] Speaker A: I do believe. I mean, both of them are responsible for the situation. Because if a nigga tell you, yo, I nutting you, I ain't taking care of these kids. You crazy. As a woman to still sleep with.
[00:59:38] Speaker C: Still had a fucking kid.
[00:59:39] Speaker A: And as a nigga, if she still.
[00:59:41] Speaker C: Wants you, I'm sorry.
[00:59:43] Speaker A: Right? And as the man, if she still sleep with you, you gotta know, like, something wrong. Something wrong with her.
[00:59:48] Speaker B: Yeah, something wr.
[00:59:49] Speaker D: Yeah, all of that. Or.
[00:59:51] Speaker B: Or I'm about to be a father soon. Like, if. And I'm not defending him.
I'm just saying he told her he didn't want kids. Now, that's his stupidity for thinking that that was going. You know what I'm saying? So. So she disappeared for a while, right, Lee, if you don't know the backstory. She disappeared for a while or whatever, and then she pops back up with the kid. He cut Shorty a check.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: Like, look, I don't.
[01:00:16] Speaker B: I don't want nothing to do with this kid. I told you that already. And now he's looked at as a bad person. And I'm like, no.
[01:00:26] Speaker D: Cause at the end of the day, y'all, I don't mean to cut you off.
[01:00:28] Speaker B: He fucking told you.
[01:00:29] Speaker D: He. Yeah, he told you. But once. Once at. Regardless of what happened before, the kid is here. Okay, so now what?
[01:00:37] Speaker A: And he experienced himself, and he grew.
[01:00:40] Speaker D: Up in the fatherless household. All right? He a piece of shit person, period. Bro, the kid is here.
[01:00:45] Speaker B: Get him a second.
[01:00:46] Speaker D: Okay, the kid is here. You don't want the kid. You didn't want the kid. That. Don't sleep with her. Get a vasectomy. Don't sleep with her. Pull out with her. Yeah. Like, do something.
[01:00:54] Speaker A: Just don't sleep with her.
[01:00:56] Speaker D: That part one of the two. Like, I just feel like I said this off camera. If you. If you can look at a person and honestly say, yo, if you get pregnant, I don't want to keep that kid, then don't sleep with her. Unprotected, period.
[01:01:07] Speaker A: My criticism.
[01:01:07] Speaker C: Go for the woman. I know women hate to hear this, but, yes, we hold more responsibility. Does it suck? Yes, it's sucks. But if you know, you sleeping with a. Who not gonna want to do for you. Get on birth control or use a condom or don't.
[01:01:21] Speaker B: Or.
[01:01:22] Speaker D: Or.
[01:01:22] Speaker B: I don't know what the. I don't think. I don't know what the her mindset was.
Because.
Because some. Because some women kind of believe. Not all. I'm not speaking to all women, so don't kill me in the comments, but some women believe that.
[01:01:36] Speaker D: Murder this.
[01:01:37] Speaker B: You know, I can change him. Or if I had his baby, he gonna change his mind.
[01:01:43] Speaker C: No, the.
[01:01:44] Speaker A: You.
[01:01:44] Speaker C: Not.
[01:01:45] Speaker B: Some. Some do if they see the baby and, like, get instantly attached. And some be like, Anthony Edwards was.
[01:01:52] Speaker D: Being recruited in the 10th grade. All right? Anthony Edwards was on track to go professional in the 10th grade. They knew this man.
Absolutely. But they were. They knew that he was going to End up pro when he was done dunking on in the ninth grade. Right. And they were. They were actually ranking him in the 10th grade. Okay. She knew. And I'm not saying that she wanted to have a baby because she thought he was gonna. Whatever. Whatever her motivations were. They were. I mean, I. I don't know that. I don't know.
[01:02:25] Speaker B: I mean, she probably loved. She probably loved him.
[01:02:29] Speaker D: Like, even if she.
[01:02:30] Speaker A: I think there's definitely a space where women take advantage of.
[01:02:35] Speaker D: I mean, that exists. That definitely exists. Exist. People are manipulative by nature.
[01:02:39] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:02:39] Speaker D: But point being, you knew what position you were. You were.
[01:02:44] Speaker A: You.
[01:02:45] Speaker D: You knew what you wanted your life to be.
[01:02:46] Speaker C: Isn't he married with kids? I've already knew something like that.
[01:02:50] Speaker D: No, he's definitely not married. I don't know.
[01:02:52] Speaker A: All right.
[01:02:55] Speaker D: There. Another Anthony. Anthony Anderson.
[01:02:58] Speaker B: Anthony.
[01:02:59] Speaker D: Anthony Mackie.
I mean, he's just a young nigga who don't want to take care of. Yeah, no, he's.
[01:03:07] Speaker B: And you want to have a baby by a. That's talking to the commentator. I watched him at the end of the game, the commentator asking, so. So he's like, yeah, yeah. Such and such. Yeah. So. So gang. I said, yeah.
[01:03:17] Speaker A: Nah, they didn't even want to leave this with Obama.
[01:03:20] Speaker D: That part. It's just.
They. They didn't. They didn't.
[01:03:24] Speaker A: Next. They didn't off this how he's a bad dad.
[01:03:29] Speaker B: No, no, he is. That's t. And what made me talk about that real quick.
[01:03:34] Speaker C: I hope that kid comes out to.
[01:03:35] Speaker B: Be an excellent a.m.
the reason why. Why I wanted to talk about that, because it was funny to me at the time, sitting in the shop today, and I'm on Instagram scrolling. So the. The mother was in a sneaker store with her son. He picked up Anthony Edwards sneaker. Right. So he went to her like, hey, I like these. She said, put them back. He don't take care of his kids.
[01:03:53] Speaker A: Right.
I mean, I think it's definitely gonna be detrimental to who he is as a person and as a man.
[01:04:00] Speaker D: Absolutely. He's gonna feel. Guess what he's gonna feel.
[01:04:02] Speaker B: Once again, I don't feel bad for him. Like, reset because he's a millionaire. He's gonna sleep good at night probably because he got millions.
[01:04:09] Speaker A: All parties involved are responsible.
[01:04:11] Speaker D: Yeah. Yeah.
[01:04:11] Speaker B: What we got next, Lee?
[01:04:13] Speaker C: How long is the industry want to keep their foot on Drake's neck?
[01:04:17] Speaker A: Forever.
[01:04:18] Speaker C: What do you mean?
[01:04:20] Speaker D: So. So I was watching the Oscars.
[01:04:27] Speaker A: It's not even just the Oscars. I'm saying that.
[01:04:29] Speaker D: No it's everything provoked this comment. Conan O'Brien.
[01:04:35] Speaker C: Conan O'Brien.
[01:04:36] Speaker D: This nigga came back from a commercial break and was like, yeah. So this is the part of the show where Kendra comes out and called Drake calls Drake a pedophile.
[01:04:44] Speaker A: Pedophile. Yeah.
[01:04:45] Speaker D: At the Oscars. And the entire crowd laughs.
[01:04:48] Speaker C: Black tie fan.
[01:04:49] Speaker D: Black tie effect. Okay. And so it took me back to a moment when a night I was at work and this was when the beef was new and happy. Fresh, fresh. Not like us had just dropped. And I'm. I'm. I'm the head bartender in the casino, right? Lee Barton in the casino.
[01:05:05] Speaker B: And what the was that face?
[01:05:08] Speaker D: And a 60 plus year old white guy and his wife are walking past my bar singing they not like us.
[01:05:16] Speaker A: They not like us.
[01:05:17] Speaker D: And that's when I knew Drake lost. I was like, okay, that just lost right then and there.
[01:05:23] Speaker B: Seen I seen on social media a priest getting ready for Lent.
[01:05:29] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, I saw that too actually.
[01:05:33] Speaker C: But my only point is resonate for any.
[01:05:37] Speaker D: Yeah, football.
[01:05:41] Speaker A: It's not that. It's just not. It's not just that. I mean the song like you said, in itself it just resonates. One, I think two, we in a space where America is feeling like they're against everybody body right now. Drake's a Canadian.
[01:05:57] Speaker B: Yeah, right now.
[01:06:01] Speaker C: Give this.
[01:06:02] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:06:02] Speaker A: Also too. Also too.
[01:06:04] Speaker D: I think people just tired of that.
[01:06:06] Speaker A: Like I think are they here.
[01:06:11] Speaker B: They foot off that neck when they find something else to talk about, that's what's going to happen.
[01:06:16] Speaker D: That's a part of it.
[01:06:17] Speaker A: But I also think too. All right, this is the problem I saw with Nikki, right. Speaking to Nicki and I love you, Nicki Minaj. Please, whatever her little group is, don't kill me. The Barbs, the Barbz.
[01:06:32] Speaker D: I was about to convert her and Beyonce should call them the Barbie beehives.
[01:06:36] Speaker B: I like that.
[01:06:37] Speaker A: I think Nikki's issue was just her music didn't grow with her audience. She captured a lot of her biggest fans during her time with.
She was with Gucci first.
[01:06:48] Speaker C: How did Nikki get into this?
[01:06:50] Speaker A: No, hold on, let me finish. Yes, let me get my thought up.
A lot of issues because a lot of people complain about her online. But I think a lot of the complaint just comes from her music not growing. And I feel the same way with Drake. Drake's music right there.
[01:07:07] Speaker B: She's going to you up.
[01:07:08] Speaker A: No, it's because I'm about to tell.
[01:07:09] Speaker C: You how her tour last year.
[01:07:12] Speaker A: No, I'm not saying sold out. But again, that's fine and dandy. But I'm just saying collectively her music hasn't grown. What has she talked about?
[01:07:23] Speaker C: You listen to a Nicki album.
[01:07:24] Speaker A: I've never listened to anything.
[01:07:25] Speaker C: So then how do you know what's growing?
[01:07:27] Speaker D: Because this is. Hold on.
[01:07:28] Speaker C: She's talking about her dad's death, the birth of her children.
[01:07:32] Speaker A: Hold on, let me finish. Because this is the, the complaints I see coming from women. A lot of women who have followed her career says this hasn't grown. I'm at this space in my life now. I don't want to hear about this and anymore.
[01:07:47] Speaker D: Okay, hold on, let me finish.
[01:07:49] Speaker A: And I feel the same way with Drake. Drake is the same way Drake. All he talks about is his insecurities and how women him over how he got money now and he bitches left and right.
[01:08:02] Speaker B: There's a lot of rappers that, that keep that, that keep that same, that.
[01:08:04] Speaker C: Same age Future who's older than him, I think future grandfather.
[01:08:10] Speaker A: I don't listen to future like that no more.
[01:08:12] Speaker B: But he keeps that same same path and that works for him.
[01:08:16] Speaker A: And guess who with him like that young.
[01:08:19] Speaker B: I mean it's old.
[01:08:23] Speaker A: That live the same way that Future.
[01:08:28] Speaker B: I'm like future, but I don't live that fucking life.
[01:08:31] Speaker D: But to that point that the. This is their career. And I'm not mad at you for doing what works inside of your career. Right? So if you know, getting into the artistry side of it is a good. A different conversation. But this is these lobby livelihood and if they keep doing what work I know for my job, I'm gonna keep doing what works.
[01:08:48] Speaker B: You see what I'm saying?
[01:08:49] Speaker D: So if that's what keeps getting them paid, then I'm not mad at that aspect of it. Right. But it's just crazy to me how calling this man a pedophile has become such a joke that it's almost normalizing calling somebody a pedophile.
[01:09:04] Speaker A: I mean I think that just happened out of just the history of him.
[01:09:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Like people got to see but then take it too far. They get to break it down.
[01:09:14] Speaker D: Lyrics from other songs.
[01:09:16] Speaker B: Oh, pause.
[01:09:16] Speaker D: Why did he. When is it. When is it going too far? Right.
[01:09:20] Speaker B: Where else have.
[01:09:20] Speaker D: But, but, but along the same lines of where else have we seen something like this happen?
[01:09:25] Speaker A: We haven't, but.
[01:09:26] Speaker D: Well I, I'd argue 50 and ja rule.
[01:09:29] Speaker B: Yeah, 50 and job.
[01:09:30] Speaker D: Cuz he's still on his neck. He still got his foot on his.
[01:09:33] Speaker A: Yes. I mean as far as the beef wise.
[01:09:34] Speaker D: Yeah, but not to the, to the. To the magnitude of.
[01:09:37] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah. I don't even think. I don't think white people was involved.
[01:09:40] Speaker D: Was it?
[01:09:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean. Yeah, no, they wasn't. Like, not like they are cannabis and ll.
[01:09:44] Speaker D: Yeah, no. I mean, yeah, but no, but I.
[01:09:48] Speaker A: Don'T think nobody was.
[01:09:49] Speaker B: Yeah.
Not to this magnitude. Like, even, even, even Drake beef with Meek didn't get. Wasn't this, like, back to back was clearly what people claim that, that, that Drake won.
[01:10:02] Speaker A: But no, he did win.
[01:10:03] Speaker B: No, I'm not saying that he did. I'm just saying what people say. Claimed. I didn't. I didn't say that it was true or false, but nonetheless. Not still talking about that beef no more.
[01:10:11] Speaker D: No, no, no.
[01:10:13] Speaker B: You know what I'm saying?
[01:10:13] Speaker A: I mean, not even talking about the Push A T shit. I mean, even though Pusha T won that.
[01:10:17] Speaker D: But that wasn't talked about two weeks after that was done.
[01:10:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:10:20] Speaker B: I think Drake is just so iconic that it's, it's, it's definitely.
[01:10:25] Speaker D: No, I mean, I don't even think it's that.
[01:10:27] Speaker A: I think. I think some people just generally tie to Drake.
[01:10:30] Speaker B: They could be.
[01:10:30] Speaker A: I mean, and then from what I heard, from what I've heard of him, like, as a person, I think that plays a bigger part too. I think that's the biggest part of it.
[01:10:42] Speaker D: So all of that matters to, like, outside. So to your point, I think all of that matters to us, like niggas and like black people, because we, we hold, we hear.
[01:10:52] Speaker A: I'm not speaking in that aspect. I'm speaking that as, like, I had a person tell me they had an interaction with him. Right, Right. And they were saying, like, the interaction, pretty much the conclusion they could. They're like, he's really an asshole.
[01:11:08] Speaker D: Oh, yeah.
[01:11:09] Speaker A: So I think whatever he's done among the industry is just finally catching up to him.
That's why I think everybody.
[01:11:18] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:11:19] Speaker B: Cause he just may be that guy that everybody really dislikes.
[01:11:22] Speaker D: I don't think it's that because white people love him and they don't have a reason to dislike him.
[01:11:27] Speaker A: Well, if you ain't my bitch, why would I have it?
[01:11:29] Speaker D: Definitely. That's, that's, that's also that he's a serial. I think it's more. I mean. Yeah, but a lot of people, everybody don't know that about him. I think a lot of people are just marveling at the fact, like, the king was knocked off of his throne and, and we're watching in real time because then. And then he throws a temper tantrum about it. By so he.
[01:11:47] Speaker A: Yeah, he didn't.
[01:11:48] Speaker D: He didn't do himself any favors. And the way that he. He handled this pulled off. You know what I'm saying?
[01:11:53] Speaker B: He keep it hip hop. No, as far as far as hip hop head.
[01:12:00] Speaker A: I think too, not just that. I agree with that as well. He didn't keep that manly. But I think also too, he just wasn't strategic about anything.
[01:12:08] Speaker D: He did none of it. And when he tried to be strategic, he looked stupid.
[01:12:15] Speaker A: Like when he bought a crown, the.
[01:12:18] Speaker C: First two, like, he was like kind of like poking like st. Go do nothing. I'mma like two songs.
[01:12:22] Speaker D: I agree with that.
[01:12:23] Speaker C: I feel like he came out strong. And then with Kendrick hit that he was like, oh, sick.
[01:12:27] Speaker D: So I think that what happened to.
[01:12:28] Speaker B: Tank last year, he think the pushback was going.
[01:12:30] Speaker D: I think that what happened with Tank last year, what happened to Drake?
[01:12:32] Speaker A: Matter of fact, not even. I think he hit a nick in.
[01:12:35] Speaker D: The mouth and then he hit the mouth like that.
[01:12:37] Speaker A: No, I wouldn't even compare it to that. The best way to compare it is the Crawford fight.
[01:12:41] Speaker D: Okay.
[01:12:42] Speaker A: That's how I would compare that. You didn't think he was going to come out here and do what he did and he did. And you didn't think he would have the support that he had and he did. Yeah.
[01:12:50] Speaker D: No. He had the whole, whole culture of boxing behind make it look sexy, bro. He had your whole.
[01:12:56] Speaker A: Like, how can you be the.
[01:12:58] Speaker D: That has a whole coast behind you.
[01:13:00] Speaker A: You got a city. He has a whole coast.
[01:13:03] Speaker B: That's tough.
[01:13:04] Speaker A: That's tough to beat. Is tough to beat.
[01:13:07] Speaker D: That is tough to beat. He literally had the entire west coast. The entire west coast.
[01:13:12] Speaker A: Yeah, the entire west coast from Napa.
[01:13:14] Speaker D: Valley down to the bay.
[01:13:16] Speaker A: And then too, another thing was too. I think a bigger argument was too with the not like Gus track was that except game.
[01:13:26] Speaker D: That's the only thing on the west coast who wasn't with you.
[01:13:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
And I think a bigger part of that too was just that the comparisons between the two individuals. You get what I'm saying? A lot of people feel like Drake comes from a space of privilege.
[01:13:40] Speaker B: Right.
[01:13:40] Speaker A: Where Kendrick doesn't.
[01:13:41] Speaker B: He's wrong.
[01:13:42] Speaker A: You get what I'm saying? A lot.
And, and, and a lot of people miss this.
[01:13:47] Speaker B: Didn't he win a Nobel Peace Prize?
[01:13:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I said that.
[01:13:50] Speaker A: But no, no, no, it wasn't.
[01:13:54] Speaker B: You did say I got that for me. You got me.
[01:13:58] Speaker C: Dragged.
[01:14:00] Speaker A: I think a. A lot of people when they compare the two individual visuals, I think where Drake up essentially.
[01:14:10] Speaker B: No, you up Right.
[01:14:11] Speaker A: Was when he tried to start acting tough because Kendrick. A lot of people overlook that because a lot of Drake songs that we love are what, the songs where he. The melodies. Yeah. Kendrick said we love Drake with the melodies. We don't like Drake when he acts.
[01:14:27] Speaker C: Up, but I did love Drake when he acts tough.
[01:14:29] Speaker D: I like Drake when he acts sometimes.
Oh, no, all the time. Timestamps are crazy.
[01:14:34] Speaker C: They fire.
[01:14:35] Speaker D: But personally, I think that Drake didn't put out good music in this battle. Like, I. I think.
[01:14:40] Speaker A: Yeah, but personally I didn't like that because in my mind I'm thinking like, you. You don't come from that. You got you a couple dollars now and you run with some that do that, but you don't come from that.
[01:14:52] Speaker B: I don't know where that comes from.
[01:14:54] Speaker D: But I don't know where that come from. Like, I don't know what this. Man.
[01:14:58] Speaker B: All I know is that that sounds good on Max.
[01:15:01] Speaker A: And that could be. In my own ignorance, he killed scheming.
[01:15:04] Speaker D: Hold on.
[01:15:05] Speaker A: But as far as. But as far as when it comes to comparing Canada to. To California, we can't compare the two.
[01:15:13] Speaker D: So I don't think it's tough in Canada. Like, I don't think. Yeah, that's like, in my mind, I'm sure. And I'm sure that's my. So that's where I was going with this. I don't. Like I said earlier, I don't have a reverence for anybody. I don't.
[01:15:27] Speaker B: I don't have a.
[01:15:31] Speaker D: But see, no, I'm pretty sure because.
[01:15:32] Speaker A: I mean, it probably was a. Out there doing that. But look, Drake wasn't doing that.
[01:15:37] Speaker D: No, I don't think Drake was doing that. But who knows from his fault page.
[01:15:40] Speaker C: Scribbled in his note page. So what? It was beautiful.
[01:15:44] Speaker B: The delivery was fire.
[01:15:45] Speaker A: But let's be real. Let's be real. Let's be real. Hold on, hold on. All that. Let's be real. We're all of the age where we come from, an era where we understood that some of these people had to be in these spaces that they talked about, because if anybody was exposed. I think the first up situation where we didn't crucify somebody that was exposed was Rick Ross. Because when Rick Ross was exposed as a CEO, didn't crucify him like they would have if it was 1999 or 2000, because guarantee you, if you found out Jay z was a CEO in 1990, would have been on his ass.
[01:16:22] Speaker B: Yeah, but did you see that the backstory behind why they Said he. He recruit got became a CEO.
[01:16:28] Speaker C: It was something game he was doing.
[01:16:30] Speaker B: He was doing for the. For the booby boys.
[01:16:33] Speaker D: I mean, all of that very well couldn't be true. Yes, all of that.
[01:16:36] Speaker A: But I'm just saying in the sense of if it was the 90s, that I think.
[01:16:39] Speaker D: I think when music, when hip hop got away from being New York and. And LA based, all of that went out the window. All right? Especially when the south came in. Don't get me wrong, down south was trapping.
I know that. I know that.
[01:16:54] Speaker B: They made trap music artists.
[01:16:58] Speaker D: The music changed.
[01:17:00] Speaker A: Never talked about.
[01:17:01] Speaker D: No, right, my point, my point. And I know.
[01:17:06] Speaker A: But music changed.
[01:17:08] Speaker D: Like music went to. Actually started enjoying making music that we could party to.
[01:17:13] Speaker C: Right.
[01:17:14] Speaker D: You see what I'm saying? And even though we could still talk about selling drugs and shooting while we partying.
[01:17:19] Speaker C: But it looks sexy.
[01:17:21] Speaker D: That's all you. And that's what it became. Just make it look sexy like. And it was just that. Which is okay because I'm 100% positive Tom Cruise is not a secret agent. All right? Like this not a spy. Okay? So like.
[01:17:38] Speaker B: But you know what?
[01:17:40] Speaker D: At the end of the day, that part.
[01:17:42] Speaker B: This is my.
[01:17:42] Speaker D: This is entertaining.
[01:17:43] Speaker B: This is my opinion at the end of the day, right? If. If I'm a. If I'm an old rapper or I'm a new and upand cominging rapper and if this is what's hot, this is what the is listening to, this is what I'mma do.
[01:17:59] Speaker D: This is my livelihood. And rap is the only place we do that in. We don't do that with no other genre of music.
[01:18:05] Speaker A: You understand it. But I also think that held some relevancy as far as. With that like, not like that's held so much power not only because it was a bot, but in the sense of like, oh yeah, this is from here. How could he be this way when he raps like this? No one had a problem at the time that he was doing it, but when that song came out, it made reflect.
[01:18:30] Speaker B: But I also, I also believe that it was the. Yeah, yo, if you would have gave that beat and those same exact Kendrick lyrics to, I don't know, whatever other artist there is, it probably wouldn't have hit the same. I believe the. The person that delivers those bars makes a big difference in how it's received.
[01:18:54] Speaker A: So you're speaking to my point because of course we believe if he was a real Kendrick fan, you know, with. Listen, this is what misconstrue and I forgot old boy name. But he said it on a podcast. He was like, yo, good Kid Mad City. Like, Kendrick is not a good kid. He was like, he's speaking of us in a space where he wants to be a good kid. But if you really listen to the album, you can tell he was not a good kid.
[01:19:19] Speaker C: He was a good kid. Like, I didn't want.
[01:19:21] Speaker D: I ain't get that from the album.
[01:19:23] Speaker A: No, go back to the album.
[01:19:24] Speaker D: I listen to it all the time. Listen, I love the album.
[01:19:26] Speaker A: Listen, hold on.
[01:19:29] Speaker D: Kendrick was trying to get some.
[01:19:31] Speaker C: Like, that's all he did was break into the house.
[01:19:34] Speaker D: That's not the one bad thing.
[01:19:36] Speaker A: I mean, you can say that on Good Kid, Mad City. Damn. He talked about how was about to chip a. Like, he. If you really listen to how this talk. This is a menace.
[01:19:46] Speaker D: So I'm talking about this Good Kid, Mad City.
[01:19:51] Speaker B: He speaks on that.
Why can't he be a. That is. Is from his hood. And he hangs with the. That is from his hood.
It's a question breakdown.
[01:20:06] Speaker C: Because we really want to get into it. It's like.
[01:20:08] Speaker B: It's like, yo, that's why I took from that.
[01:20:10] Speaker D: Why.
[01:20:10] Speaker B: Why can't it. Why can't A be from West Baltimore?
[01:20:13] Speaker D: I know that with some wild.
[01:20:17] Speaker C: And you're like, oh, like, because.
[01:20:20] Speaker A: Because y'all looking at. Y'all looking at it from a space of being where we from being where he's from. That is a whole different dynamic, bro. I remember, yo. Like, no, I remember when I played AAU and we went to California. Literally told us, yo, when y'all go out there, don't do nothing crazy. Don't do no handshakes, don't do nothing.
[01:20:41] Speaker C: Because out there.
[01:20:44] Speaker A: I'm not saying it's not no good kids out there, but for the most part, people that come from there, they are in the mix.
[01:20:50] Speaker C: So they're bad people.
[01:20:52] Speaker A: I'm not saying that they're completely bad people, but they're in the mix.
[01:20:55] Speaker C: Okay?
Some of them have.
[01:21:00] Speaker A: I gotta find an interview.
[01:21:01] Speaker C: Because some of them.
[01:21:03] Speaker B: Some of them don't you think people don't get the same pep talk when they come in?
[01:21:08] Speaker A: That's not what I'm saying. I gotta find that interview. Because he's.
[01:21:11] Speaker B: Because you're not making sense right now.
[01:21:12] Speaker A: Because bro speaks on it. And when he said it, I'm like, now the album completely makes sense. He says, y'all really listen to that album and thought this was this type of way, and this was not that type of way.
[01:21:23] Speaker C: So can I ask you a question?
[01:21:24] Speaker B: Can I ask you a question? And this is a real question.
[01:21:26] Speaker A: No.
[01:21:27] Speaker B: Can I ask. No, no, no, no, no. Let me ask you a real question. Was this with Kendrick Lamar? Yes, he was with him.
[01:21:34] Speaker D: Yes.
[01:21:35] Speaker A: He knows this. Like, he knows this.
[01:21:37] Speaker D: Yo.
[01:21:37] Speaker A: He said, yo, that is not who y'all think this is.
[01:21:41] Speaker D: Well, that. So that's a whole different topic now.
[01:21:47] Speaker B: That's making what you saying. Saying a little bit different, because you didn't say that initially. Like, this is a. That grew up with him, that knows him personally. At first, it sound like you was listening to his music and you interpreted it the way that you did.
[01:21:58] Speaker A: No.
[01:21:58] Speaker D: Y'all moving the goalpost of this conversation, because I'm not even looking at this as good, kid. Mad City is a. Is a autobiographical work. Like, I don't. I'm not even looking at it as he was rapping about himself. That shit is a concept album. And when you make concept albums in Fox.
[01:22:18] Speaker A: Concept album, I think he's rapping about himself.
[01:22:20] Speaker C: But I. I. I think both are true. I think it was a concept, and I think he was telling him.
[01:22:24] Speaker D: I'm not saying that.
[01:22:24] Speaker A: So on all that peer pressure, he.
[01:22:26] Speaker D: I'm not saying that he wasn't telling his story, but I'm saying that. I don't think. I think it's. I think it's a work of art.
[01:22:32] Speaker C: You don't think it was autobiography?
[01:22:33] Speaker D: I don't think.
[01:22:34] Speaker A: Right.
[01:22:34] Speaker D: I don't think it was like he was exactly. I think it was inspired by. Okay, so we can go to Dan. Damn.
[01:22:40] Speaker B: Is.
[01:22:40] Speaker A: To me, that's.
[01:22:41] Speaker D: He's.
[01:22:41] Speaker A: He's also doing the same thing.
[01:22:43] Speaker C: Dan wasn't really a concept album.
[01:22:47] Speaker B: Not saying that. Not saying that he was this or anything like that. But he also has. You can. You can be. You can do bad acts and still be a good person.
[01:23:01] Speaker A: From somebody who says they personally knew this and said he is not the who y'all think he is, this is really diabolical.
[01:23:11] Speaker B: Okay, so he has personal.
[01:23:13] Speaker D: He very well could be odog.
[01:23:16] Speaker B: He may be.
[01:23:16] Speaker D: He's not taking that.
[01:23:18] Speaker B: He may be.
[01:23:19] Speaker A: Most niggas don't know that n was 15 in that way.
[01:23:22] Speaker D: No, that nigga was. They was all kids. They clearly was in class. That movie started with them in high school.
[01:23:28] Speaker B: Yeah, like, he just may have well been. Been an old dog in Compton, but.
[01:23:33] Speaker D: He should have also been a cane.
[01:23:35] Speaker B: He got away with it.
[01:23:36] Speaker A: But to all that, he could have been a Trey. Hold on. Hold on to all that. Nah, he definitely wasn't a Trey because Trey wouldn't have been bringing the niggas houses.
[01:23:44] Speaker D: No.
[01:23:45] Speaker A: Let me out the car.
[01:23:46] Speaker D: Let me out the car.
[01:23:47] Speaker A: Oh, I mean, oh, what is the name, dope? Let me out. The dove.
[01:23:52] Speaker B: Let me out.
[01:23:52] Speaker A: Let me out.
[01:23:53] Speaker C: It was just like. I was just telling my daughter something today. I was like, I consider myself a good kid, but I was telling how I shoplifted as a kid.
[01:23:59] Speaker A: But you didn't grow up in a gang infested neighborhood either.
[01:24:02] Speaker C: Right, But I'm saying kids make bad puppies.
[01:24:05] Speaker B: Obese good kids make bad choices.
[01:24:07] Speaker A: Again. Again.
[01:24:08] Speaker B: Listen, listen. By the time you sell pit bulls.
[01:24:11] Speaker A: Obese, you may have made bad decisions, but imagine living in a gang. Gang infested neighborhood to the point where you gotta wear a certain color a certain way. You can't associate with certain. A certain way.
[01:24:22] Speaker D: Yeah, but you gotta move a certain way.
[01:24:25] Speaker A: I mean, even in the Not Like Us video, you see him and Dave Free doing some blood. So it's like. But, but.
[01:24:31] Speaker B: But it's well known that he is. He is. He is blood.
Yeah, but no, but they keep saying that he's affiliated.
[01:24:43] Speaker D: When you enter, it don't feel the same.
[01:24:45] Speaker B: You know that, Stacy.
[01:24:46] Speaker D: All right?
[01:24:46] Speaker B: That nigga's a blood, right?
[01:24:47] Speaker D: But when you in.
Don't look and feel the same. It's just like a. It's like a. From here.
A. From here. Being from Lexington Terrace don't realize how bad Lexington Terrace is until he. Until he move out on his meals. All right, so when you in that.
[01:25:03] Speaker A: Shit, that's a crazy analogy, because that's so true.
[01:25:05] Speaker D: It's the truth. Like, it's the truth.
[01:25:07] Speaker C: I didn't realize how good I had it. So I started hanging in East Baltimore.
[01:25:09] Speaker D: And I'm like, oh, dang, that part.
[01:25:11] Speaker B: She was selling the pit bull.
[01:25:12] Speaker D: Selling the pit bulls in East Baltimore.
[01:25:13] Speaker A: She's giving relevance, selling a party.
She's offended.
[01:25:18] Speaker D: What part is Baltimore Bats Old York.
[01:25:20] Speaker C: Shout out to some of that.
[01:25:22] Speaker B: Yeah, that's like me being from Jersey. Like, right? Like, my mother is from one project, my dad is from another project. I didn't know that my city was fucked up until she moved me to Maryland. I'm like, oh, it's like that, though. It was normal.
[01:25:40] Speaker A: Just to my point, though, I think the song resonated because I think people just started seeing. Seeing the differences again. When I go back to that bar of we like Drake's with the melodies. We don't like Drake, but he acts up. I think a lot of people took that little. Because, like, Liz just said earlier. When you think of Canada, you don't think of tough. It's almost like how you said that.
[01:25:59] Speaker C: I didn't say that.
[01:26:00] Speaker A: You said that. Somebody said that.
[01:26:01] Speaker D: I said that.
[01:26:04] Speaker C: I know y'all got some gritty going.
[01:26:06] Speaker D: On, and that's no danger.
The same thing with Paris. I don't think about.
I don't think the hoods in Paris.
In Paris.
Right. That's the thing. They probably got some of the grimiest. I'm pretty sure that the cruddiest alive might be in Canada.
You could absolutely be right. But when it. But in my mind.
[01:26:35] Speaker A: But when it comes to that violence and how America treats violence versus other countries. Countries we probably are the most violent.
[01:26:43] Speaker D: We herald violent. So, like, we blow countries off the map, but we don't.
[01:26:46] Speaker C: Like, we also have, like, triple the population.
[01:26:50] Speaker A: I mean. Yeah, but. But we don't have to be as violent as we are.
[01:26:54] Speaker D: No.
[01:26:54] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying?
[01:26:55] Speaker D: Like, we choose violence.
[01:26:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Most of us.
[01:26:58] Speaker B: Choice.
[01:26:58] Speaker C: Oh, it's violence.
[01:26:59] Speaker A: A choice.
[01:26:59] Speaker C: That's a good topic.
[01:27:01] Speaker B: What do we choose?
[01:27:02] Speaker C: Violence.
[01:27:02] Speaker D: Yes.
[01:27:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Most Americans do. I mean, let's just happen in the hair shot with that one girl.
[01:27:07] Speaker B: Oh, she dragged her by the head.
[01:27:08] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:27:09] Speaker A: Now she. Her dumb ass getting locked up.
[01:27:12] Speaker D: B Is definitely.
[01:27:13] Speaker A: We'll be right back. We're gonna have one more segment, and we should.
[01:27:16] Speaker C: No, we not. Y'all.
[01:27:34] Speaker D: Good.
[01:27:35] Speaker A: All right, y'all, we back with our last and final segment. We kind of got deep on that Kendrick Lamar thing. We going to move on from. Because I don't agree with these. They wrong. What we got next?
No, what we got?
[01:27:48] Speaker C: 30 minutes. Unleash.
[01:27:49] Speaker A: Go ahead. What we got next? No, because we can talk about this all.
[01:27:52] Speaker C: We got two more topics, though.
[01:27:53] Speaker A: Go ahead. What's the next two topics?
[01:27:55] Speaker C: All right. Do content creators fight with authenticity or doing something gimmicky for viewers for views?
[01:28:03] Speaker A: Yes, me. Whoever wrote views misspelled it. Oh, yeah, that was me. My fault.
I was rushing. I was rushing.
I have this talk a lot with T, because I be seeing certain podcasts go viral, and I fight with the frustration of, like, why?
[01:28:27] Speaker B: Why not. Not doing that?
[01:28:29] Speaker A: Because there's a lot of stupid to go viral, bro.
[01:28:31] Speaker B: Because it'd be stupid.
People love seeing people make a fool of themselves stupid.
[01:28:38] Speaker D: So, you know, I just be feeling.
[01:28:42] Speaker A: Like sometimes, like, yo, we are authentic. We talk about some real. We talk about some funny. But I'm not about to get on camera and have my nipples out.
[01:28:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I'd rather.
I'd rather have quality over quantity guarantee. That's a million views.
[01:28:57] Speaker C: Would you take your shirt off, hang your nipples out?
[01:28:59] Speaker B: Yes, he would.
[01:29:00] Speaker D: I sh. My nipples. I give you. I give you my nipples for.
[01:29:04] Speaker B: Because I don't got no shirt on underneath this hoodie.
[01:29:06] Speaker D: I've done it for less.
[01:29:09] Speaker A: No, no, but I. I feel like. I feel like again, like I said, it's a lot of that. I just be like, how did this go viral? Like, how do these people find themselves in a viral space? Like, I think the dumbest I've seen.
You know that Internet Ellie chopper song where he'd be like, let me know. Your butt.
[01:29:28] Speaker D: No.
[01:29:31] Speaker C: Your butt.
[01:29:32] Speaker A: Yeah. That's crazy.
[01:29:34] Speaker D: I can't tell you any Internet.
[01:29:36] Speaker A: It's a song, but it's this dude that interprets. Interpretates the song by using his voice to do the instrumental and then he says the lyrics. He literally posts the same video every day. And let's say like three times a day he posts a video. Let's say two of them go viral every time.
[01:29:54] Speaker D: Okay.
[01:29:55] Speaker A: And I'm like, this is the dumbest.
[01:29:58] Speaker C: It's just him saying, let me down on your butt.
[01:30:00] Speaker A: Yeah. And singing the song like, I mean, it's dumb.
[01:30:04] Speaker B: It's dumb to you, but to others is. Is entertaining. Like, some of the that I see on social media is equivalent to a monkey with a Tampa. That's the same in my brain sometimes.
[01:30:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:30:18] Speaker B: It's a little monkey in my brain.
[01:30:19] Speaker A: With a tambourine I like on a movie.
[01:30:21] Speaker D: Yeah. Like, I mean, but so the thing about it is, though, you got to look at. It's a couple different factors you got to look at.
[01:30:26] Speaker A: Right.
[01:30:26] Speaker D: So from the creative side, that's what we're talking about. When you create, like when you form a business, you have to write a mission statement. Right. As part of your articles of declaration, you have to have a mission statement.
[01:30:36] Speaker A: Correct.
[01:30:37] Speaker D: Stating what your company's core values and goals are. Right. So watch out for this picture. Yeah, I keep. I've been beating this picture up this entire day.
[01:30:46] Speaker B: You atmo but that on the super bowl, son.
[01:30:50] Speaker D: But point being, if you, If. If you're rooted in caring about morality and value, then you. That's the space you stay in. But you have to accept the fact that your climb is going to be a different climb.
[01:31:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:31:06] Speaker D: You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And it's just like how we was talking. Talking about. I forget we're talking about something earlier, but along the same topics on the same topic.
This is when. When. This is what you're doing as your livelihood. We were talking about music. When this is what you're doing as your livelihood and you're willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, then you're going to start compromising your goals, and I mean compromising your values and compromising your moral beliefs and, and things that you stand ethically on.
[01:31:32] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:31:32] Speaker D: For, for what you deem to be successful, you know, but, and that's, that's, that's, that's what business is. That's what commerce is.
[01:31:39] Speaker A: Yeah, okay, I understand that.
[01:31:41] Speaker D: So I'm not mad at it. I just don't always. Certain things I won't budge on.
[01:31:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:31:46] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying?
[01:31:46] Speaker A: I think that's me. Like, I think I'm in that space where it's like, yo, I'm not doing nothing in the be because I feel like one, we too old. Two, we, we don't. We're not cut from that claw.
[01:31:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, bro, I don't, I don't, I refresh. Refuse to be a, a goofy to go viral. You know what I'm saying? Like, it has a lot to do with popularity at times, but I'm just like you said, I'm not willing to get on this, on this camera and do something wild that's, that's against my, my moral.
[01:32:15] Speaker D: No, not for the sake of going viral. I'm a goofy.
[01:32:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:32:21] Speaker A: Like, if you being yourself, right, that's completely fine.
[01:32:24] Speaker B: But some, but some shit you could look at and be like, yeah, that was extra, but it go viral, you know what I'm saying? Like, I, I, I, like we always have been saying since day one, day one, it's gonna be that one thing that we think is, eh, it may be, yo, bro, it may be something that you, that you edit out of the video. That might have been that thing, you know what I'm saying? Like, you, you, you just really can't pinpoint it. You just gotta, you know what I.
[01:32:51] Speaker D: Mean, roll with the punches. That's where authenticity comes in.
[01:32:54] Speaker B: Yeah, in due time.
[01:32:55] Speaker D: You know what I'm saying? I feel like if, do you think.
[01:32:58] Speaker A: People still care about that authenticity?
[01:33:01] Speaker B: You have a, you have a caliber of people that do, do you have a caliber of people that I think.
[01:33:05] Speaker D: People care about what they believe authenticity to be? All right? What I mean by that is just because we think it's like, what, what I think that what I, what I hold to be authentic to me might not resonate with people. You know what I'm saying? It could be something that I'M doing to be performative that feels authentic to a person and resonates with them. And so I say all of that to say authenticity is subjectible. Like, it's subjective.
[01:33:29] Speaker A: Yeah. Because like I was saying when I was having a conversation with T, I was like, I'm at a space where, like, I feel like maybe we just gotta find our tribe. You know what I'm saying? Like, there's a.
[01:33:40] Speaker D: It's that I feel that it's a.
[01:33:41] Speaker A: Niche for everyone, you know?
[01:33:43] Speaker D: Absolutely.
[01:33:43] Speaker A: Like, Francis, I don't understand how some ugly women do numbers on only fans.
[01:33:48] Speaker D: Oh, my God.
[01:33:48] Speaker A: But they do this because they have a market.
[01:33:52] Speaker B: Yeah, some people.
[01:33:53] Speaker D: Some people.
[01:33:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, like, some people. Everybody got a. Gotta. Got a thing. You know what I'm saying?
[01:33:59] Speaker D: Can I ask y'all a question that's kind of off topic?
[01:34:00] Speaker B: No, no, no.
[01:34:02] Speaker D: Because beauty is subjective. Can I ask y'all, like, a real. A real nigga question?
[01:34:05] Speaker A: Go ahead, Go ahead.
[01:34:06] Speaker D: Have you ever knowingly dated an ugly chick? Yes.
[01:34:09] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:34:10] Speaker D: Like, chose to date an ugly chick?
[01:34:11] Speaker A: Yes.
[01:34:12] Speaker D: Yeah. Okay. I had to make sure I wasn't the only nigga. No. Yes.
[01:34:15] Speaker A: No. I think.
[01:34:16] Speaker D: How do you know I was the.
[01:34:17] Speaker A: I mean, I think it's the same on both sides. I think women do it too, and I think men do it too. But I did it because it's simply out of how I was treated. And one. The sexual.
[01:34:28] Speaker C: How she treated. She treated you better.
[01:34:30] Speaker A: Yes. And the sexual experience.
[01:34:32] Speaker D: So I could. So I. I feel.
[01:34:34] Speaker A: I feel like ugly chicks definitely better.
[01:34:37] Speaker B: They got something to prove.
[01:34:39] Speaker D: They got something to prove.
They try to keep your ass.
[01:34:42] Speaker B: They got a.
[01:34:43] Speaker D: They try keep.
[01:34:44] Speaker A: This really might be the. That make us go. But ugly chicks, definitely better. They better.
[01:34:50] Speaker B: They got a point to.
[01:34:51] Speaker A: They are nasty individuals.
[01:34:53] Speaker B: What? Listen, disgusting man. Listen here.
[01:34:59] Speaker D: I'm not even going down that street myself, but I did it made. I laughed at it because y'all was talking about the ugly chick with the, like, the only fashion. But I. At a point in my. My life, I dated this girl who was ugly as. Like, she wasn't just ugly, she was ugly as ugly as is.
[01:35:19] Speaker B: Crazy.
[01:35:19] Speaker D: It's insane. And like, you know, like. Like, let me tell you the day I realized how ugly she really was.
[01:35:24] Speaker B: Jesus.
[01:35:25] Speaker D: So I told. You know, I used to be in the studio. Had a studio, so we working on the project, and we was in the final mixing stages of the project, so I had to come through, right, and cut some drops and this. That the third. So we all meet up at the studio. When everybody got their girl with them, right? And I walk with ugly, right? I'm sorry.
[01:35:44] Speaker A: All right.
[01:35:45] Speaker B: I walked in with ugly, yo.
[01:35:47] Speaker D: I came in with ugly, yo.
[01:35:48] Speaker B: Was she built crazy, though? No, her body wasn't. Was it tough?
[01:35:52] Speaker A: They be the one.
[01:35:53] Speaker D: No, bro.
[01:35:54] Speaker B: The ugly ones with the bad bodies.
[01:35:56] Speaker D: No, she wasn't, yo.
[01:35:57] Speaker C: She.
[01:35:57] Speaker D: She. Her personality was everything she had.
[01:36:01] Speaker C: She was everything.
[01:36:03] Speaker D: She was 98 personality. All right? She was the nicest person in the world, but Shout out to her. Shout out to her.
Shout out to being up that part. But we in the studio, and we. We. I'm wrapping up. I'm doing my final mixes, and she had to use the bathroom, and so she. Where the bathroom at? And my homeboy wife was like, oh, it's down the hall. Make a right. Boom, boom, second door. And so the studio, you know, everything is soundproofed off, so the doors closed, and when they closed, they closed. So she leaves out the door close. As soon as the door click close, Raina turned to me and was like, yo, Reese, what the fuck?
I mean, she couldn't wait to say it. Like, nigga, you better than this. She couldn't wait to get it out of her mouth. Soon as the door said click, like, all you heard was, reese, what the fuck? And I was like, yeah, I know, yo. She's so nice, though.
You gotta get the newer.
[01:36:57] Speaker B: You gotta get the newer.
[01:36:59] Speaker A: Like, they don't complain. Like, yo, can you rub my back?
[01:37:02] Speaker D: I got you.
[01:37:03] Speaker A: They do that.
[01:37:06] Speaker D: Whatever you ask. It will be done. It will be done. But I'm going tell you when I had. When I had to let it go, all right? Because we. I. I rock with it for a minute, right? I used to smoke a lot of.
Exactly. A lot of it.
[01:37:19] Speaker B: Like the devil's lettuce.
[01:37:20] Speaker D: A lot of it. Okay. I wasn't even a drinker. I was strictly a smoker, okay? And we used to smoke.
[01:37:26] Speaker A: Smoke together.
[01:37:27] Speaker D: And me and her.
I was talking about me and her. We used to smoke together. And then our work schedule shifted, so we weren't home at the same times, right?
But like twice a week. And so one day I'm home and she's not. Well, she didn't live with me, but she. I was in my house by myself, and she was coming over, right? And I was on the back porch smoking. And she had a key. So she comes in and she comes outside, and I'm on cloud 10.
[01:37:54] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:37:55] Speaker D: And I turned around and got scared.
[01:37:58] Speaker B: I turned around.
[01:37:59] Speaker D: Oh, that moment.
[01:38:14] Speaker B: Yo, for you.
Of your girl.
[01:38:21] Speaker D: I really jumped.
[01:38:22] Speaker B: And it's pronounced your goddamn self coming in.
[01:38:26] Speaker D: When you coming out of that scene.
[01:38:28] Speaker A: On Scary Movie with Shorty, she was.
[01:38:31] Speaker D: In the movie theater.
[01:38:33] Speaker C: She was like, ah.
With the sound effect.
[01:38:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:38:38] Speaker D: I said, oh, shit. Like. And I saw the look on her face. And at that moment, she was like, damn.
[01:38:43] Speaker B: He recognized. I'm out of it, yo.
[01:38:45] Speaker D: Said we both knew.
[01:38:46] Speaker A: We knew at that point.
[01:38:47] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:38:47] Speaker B: Look, look, look.
[01:38:49] Speaker C: He sees me now.
[01:38:50] Speaker B: Look, my ugliness has shown its ugly head.
[01:38:54] Speaker D: I feel so bad. I never seen that.
[01:38:55] Speaker C: What she doing?
[01:38:56] Speaker A: Well, what is she following?
[01:38:58] Speaker D: And she might. She might.
[01:39:02] Speaker B: Now the question is. This is the real question, though, right?
[01:39:05] Speaker C: Was you fucking raw?
[01:39:06] Speaker B: No, no, no, we don't fuck that. No, the real question is I would deep risking that.
[01:39:10] Speaker D: The question is deep risking that shit.
[01:39:13] Speaker B: You got a lot of ugly girls out here and niggas that don't know that they ugly. Did she know that she ugly? Cause there's. There are signs some people. When people know that they ugly.
[01:39:22] Speaker D: That's a good question.
[01:39:25] Speaker B: There are signs that. That, that.
[01:39:28] Speaker D: That she didn't act like she was a pretty. Like, she didn't walk around with the. With the confidence, with the. With the ego that pretty girls walk around with. All right, so there was a. She did have a level.
[01:39:39] Speaker A: Oh, she knew.
[01:39:40] Speaker D: She had a lot of humility.
[01:39:41] Speaker C: No, she knew she was ugly.
[01:39:42] Speaker D: She had a lot of humility, and I got away with a lot of bull.
[01:39:46] Speaker B: Yeah, because she ugly.
[01:39:48] Speaker A: Yeah, she was ugly.
[01:39:50] Speaker D: And I'm not saying she knew she was ugly.
[01:39:52] Speaker B: Yeah, like, she knew that she was ugly. I came across some ugly chicks that talked to me like they.
[01:39:57] Speaker D: Beyonce. And I'd be like, yeah, no. Did you see yourself better? Never.
[01:40:03] Speaker B: Like, you can't talk to me like that. You're not. You're not pretty enough to talk to me like that. And I ain't everybody's bag, but you can't talk to me like that. You.
[01:40:11] Speaker D: There were other moments I considered breaking up with her because of how, like. Like when I found she had a beard that like. Like, she. She actively shaved.
[01:40:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I did.
[01:40:19] Speaker D: All right. She actively shaved. And then one day I did this sometimes. That's why I didn't hold it against her. I considered breaking up with her. I didn't hold it against her. But that day, I got scared.
[01:40:30] Speaker C: That's my fear.
[01:40:31] Speaker A: This how this nigga was? This how this was?
[01:40:35] Speaker D: Yeah, that day I got scared.
[01:40:37] Speaker A: I was.
[01:40:38] Speaker D: Yeah, it was scary.
Yes, yes. Yes, was. And I was. I mean, I thought a monster was. I thought it was a monster.
[01:40:47] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:40:48] Speaker D: I thought I saw a monster. I realized I turned around and thought I saw a monster. And I jumped like I saw it.
[01:40:53] Speaker A: Like, I.
[01:40:54] Speaker D: And it was the most natural jump. Like, it wasn't performative. It was. It wasn't stable that you scared. I. I was. I was afraid for three seconds. But in that moment.
[01:41:03] Speaker A: To your point, though, I ain't gonna hold you. They do be the most chillest.
[01:41:07] Speaker B: Yeah, we're going to flow Y.
[01:41:11] Speaker A: Listen, don't be on your back. Yeah.
[01:41:14] Speaker D: There is a price to be with a beautiful woman. All right. There's an absolute price of being. I think.
[01:41:19] Speaker A: Honestly, I think.
[01:41:20] Speaker D: And I'm willing to pay that price. My wife is gorgeous.
I will pay that price 10 times over.
[01:41:27] Speaker A: This might be another viral moment here, what I'm about to say. I think the seven and the eights, they. The ones you should probably. Probably be with in life. Nines and tens. 1. I found out tens definitely are not too much work. They definitely are too much work. It's too much that come with them. Nines think they tens. So that's why they're. They're what make a 10 to me. A 10. Well, I. Well, that's like you said earlier, my wife.
Good job.
[01:41:59] Speaker D: They look right at the camera when I said it. My wife. What you said earlier was what you.
[01:42:05] Speaker A: Say beauty is subjective. Like, for me, I'm into chocolate women mostly.
A ten for me would be Kelly Rowland. That's a ten.
[01:42:16] Speaker C: We love Calandra. So you're just saying, like, all right, all goes into it.
[01:42:20] Speaker A: It's a lot. I've dated a 10 before, so I. I don't think.
[01:42:23] Speaker D: I don't think A10 exists on site.
[01:42:25] Speaker A: No.
[01:42:26] Speaker D: All right. Like. Like you can.
[01:42:27] Speaker A: I agree with that.
[01:42:27] Speaker D: In my book, the highest you can probably get on site is an 8 to 9 on site. Like, I would have to know you to. To know that you attend.
[01:42:36] Speaker B: And this is. And on site, this is based off of just strictly.
[01:42:39] Speaker D: Yeah, that's what I mean.
[01:42:41] Speaker C: So what's the percentage breakdown? Like, how you really calculate a person? Like, how much of your percentage looks and how much is.
[01:42:48] Speaker A: Well, you mean from a man perspective, how we compatible. What you mean by looks in the sense of what.
[01:42:52] Speaker D: Well, you got to look at the.
[01:42:53] Speaker C: Motivation, the numerical value that you're placing on and how. What percentage of that is just. Just looks versus.
[01:43:02] Speaker A: 80, 85.
[01:43:03] Speaker D: It's a sliding scale. Because you got to look good for me to want to approach you.
[01:43:06] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:43:06] Speaker D: You see what I'm saying? So you have To. You have to at least be somebody I can be seen with in public. All right, I went down that track, and that'll never happen again.
[01:43:15] Speaker C: But the ugly bitch you talked to.
[01:43:17] Speaker D: That's why I just said I went down that track and it never had. But that I didn't talk to her.
[01:43:23] Speaker A: Ugly. The ugly that was.
[01:43:25] Speaker D: Situation comes from.
[01:43:26] Speaker A: It didn't come from me.
[01:43:28] Speaker D: Well, no. Because one of the dudes I was doing music with at the time was her best friend's boyfriend. So we all linked up and went out together, and I met her in the club.
So, yeah, like, it was an entirely different.
[01:43:43] Speaker A: That comes from either being in an intimate space where y'all have no choice but to deal with each other. That part most work.
[01:43:50] Speaker B: Yeah. The conversation probably be fired.
[01:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah. And it just.
[01:43:54] Speaker B: And you kind of be like, yeah.
[01:43:57] Speaker A: That'S usually because the ugly chick is.
[01:43:59] Speaker D: Normally your friend first. Like, yeah. You're normally on friend terms before y'all ever start with each other On.
[01:44:05] Speaker A: On that moment you get invited to the crib. She got something a little too small on, and things just lead to things.
[01:44:12] Speaker D: And.
[01:44:12] Speaker A: Yeah, that's how that starts.
[01:44:14] Speaker D: I was drunk, okay. We went out. I got drunk. I ain't gonna say she did. I just don't remember much. He was horny, and then I got.
[01:44:22] Speaker A: The out of it.
[01:44:23] Speaker B: That was horny.
[01:44:24] Speaker D: No. But then we talked for like three weeks before I saw her again.
[01:44:28] Speaker B: Okay, so you got to know her.
[01:44:30] Speaker D: I got to know her, and then I saw her again.
[01:44:33] Speaker B: You saw. You was like, that's why people should.
[01:44:35] Speaker C: Get to do know each other.
[01:44:36] Speaker D: Because that's why I like to show. Love is blind.
[01:44:38] Speaker C: Yo.
[01:44:39] Speaker A: Love.
[01:44:39] Speaker D: That's why I like this show.
[01:44:40] Speaker C: Love is blind because beauty fades.
[01:44:42] Speaker A: Yeah, but I ain't going to hold you. Nothing's more annoying than meeting a ugly chick. That's solid. And it's like, but you're ugly. Yeah.
[01:44:52] Speaker D: No, I think women do a much better job.
[01:44:55] Speaker C: Ugly Mo fire your personality, though.
[01:44:58] Speaker D: I think women do a much better job.
[01:45:00] Speaker A: I mean, but y'all can get away with that.
[01:45:01] Speaker D: I think women do a much better job at that than men do.
[01:45:04] Speaker A: Cuz, like, that's a shame. Nothing's worse than coming to.
[01:45:07] Speaker D: But it's not, though. It's what society is.
It is what society is.
[01:45:11] Speaker B: But you know what?
[01:45:12] Speaker A: And it's been that.
[01:45:13] Speaker B: But you know what? As men, I think it's like an unspoken understanding. Like, if I see you pull up with a ugly joint, I be like, I already know what's going on here.
[01:45:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:45:26] Speaker C: What's going on?
[01:45:28] Speaker B: She suck and fuck like no other one. 2. She probably got fire personality and it ain't too much.
[01:45:36] Speaker D: She probably cool as fuck.
[01:45:37] Speaker B: She probably cool.
[01:45:38] Speaker D: She probably cool as fuck. Like, she can pull up.
[01:45:41] Speaker A: You genuinely like her.
[01:45:43] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:45:43] Speaker A: As a person, you like to pull.
[01:45:45] Speaker D: Up there to function anytime she wants.
[01:45:47] Speaker B: And then. And then the ugly ones with the bad bodies.
[01:45:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:45:51] Speaker B: Be understanding. They'd be like, I get it.
[01:45:54] Speaker A: But nothing small.
[01:45:56] Speaker D: That's scary to me. Because they ugly with a bad body and they think they bad because not all of them.
[01:46:01] Speaker B: All of them, not all of them. Some of them still be humble because they know. Because they know. Because they had a spell hell or a time in their life where they was just getting and left. You know what I'm saying? So now they like, okay, is only with me because my body bad.
[01:46:15] Speaker A: But I ain't gonna hold you, though. I've. I've seen situations where like. All right, let me backtrack. That's not what I'm gonna say. Most men want to go to a function and get that uncle approval. Facts, you know, like, okay, facts.
[01:46:29] Speaker D: No.
[01:46:30] Speaker A: Live a function and like, nephew live for that.
[01:46:32] Speaker D: Yeah, nephew, dude, facts.
[01:46:35] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying?
[01:46:36] Speaker D: No, that's. That's.
[01:46:36] Speaker B: That's.
[01:46:37] Speaker D: Listen, growing up as a man, like, like, no, that's. That's. That's some literal man, though.
[01:46:42] Speaker A: Like, you take your girl to the function and don't get one, nephew.
[01:46:45] Speaker D: Yeah, yeah, nephew.
[01:46:47] Speaker B: Or my. Like, for me.

[01:47:45] Speaker A: I got a quick story, right? It's this chick on Twitter, right? Shorty, got like, quick 500,000 followers. You feel what I'm saying? I'm Thinking like. Like, I'm. She not gonna respond to my. But I just shoot my shot, right?
[01:47:58] Speaker D: Yeah. She responds.
[01:48:00] Speaker A: She was from Baltimore, so you know what I'm saying? I'm like, yo, dummy, what's up? Like, just playing on some. Like, she ain't gonna respond. She responds. I'm like, all right, cool.
Get her on the phone, man. She could not like a conversation.
[01:48:15] Speaker D: Yeah, no. Out the door.
[01:48:17] Speaker A: And she was. I'm talking about, like, bad.
[01:48:20] Speaker B: No, it was her.
[01:48:21] Speaker A: Cause we face FaceTime. It was her. But the conversation.
[01:48:25] Speaker C: She had leg poisoning.
[01:48:26] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[01:48:28] Speaker A: Yo.
[01:48:29] Speaker B: I'm like, yo, she had legs.
[01:48:31] Speaker A: I'm like, yo, I'm like, how your day going? All right.
What you up to? Nothing.
[01:48:37] Speaker B: Everything.
[01:48:37] Speaker A: Closed at it.
[01:48:38] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:48:38] Speaker A: I'm like, yo, like, so tell me something you love about yourself. Me.
[01:48:42] Speaker D: Me. My nails. Not my nails, my hair.
[01:48:47] Speaker A: Then it got to a point where.
[01:48:48] Speaker B: She was just like, eyelashes.
[01:48:50] Speaker A: Why you asking all these questions? I'm like, how the else am I supposed to get to know you? Like, I don't know you.
[01:48:55] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:48:56] Speaker B: I don't know her.
[01:49:00] Speaker A: I find with them ones who, like, know that they bad and they top tier. They do not know how to hold a conversation.
[01:49:07] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:49:08] Speaker A: Or they find it weird when someone.
[01:49:09] Speaker D: Is trying to get to know.
[01:49:11] Speaker B: I mean, because. And this is just what.
[01:49:14] Speaker C: And this is just women focus.
[01:49:15] Speaker A: No, I'm not doing that.
[01:49:16] Speaker B: And this. And this is what. And this is just what I think, right? This is just what I think.
[01:49:21] Speaker D: Trash.
[01:49:21] Speaker B: Like. Like. Like they get hollered at so much, they trying to figure out what the. Your angle is. And you think that could. That could be a factor.
[01:49:28] Speaker A: Like, I mean, I agree with that, but I just think. I don't like.
I think some women who are top tier like that. Plus, she was from, like, the hood of West Baltimore, so, like, yes, I'm. I might be from those areas, but don't 15.
[01:49:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:49:48] Speaker A: I'm familiar with these areas. You feel what I'm saying? I grew up with Emerson.
[01:49:51] Speaker D: Okay.
[01:49:52] Speaker A: You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I get it, but I'm one of these people that have the ability to talk outside of the confidants of the city.
[01:50:01] Speaker D: Right.
[01:50:01] Speaker A: So I don't speak like, how some. I've actually had people ask me, like, are you from here?
[01:50:05] Speaker B: You're not a product, quote unquote, of your environment.
[01:50:08] Speaker A: So it's like, some people. Some. I feel like some people from here are accustomed to that type of conversation.
[01:50:16] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:50:16] Speaker A: Like, what's up, dummy?
[01:50:17] Speaker D: When they hear Something it is big head.
[01:50:19] Speaker A: But you want big head. Like, I ain't with you. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, in that type of conversation, right? I don't do that. That's not me. So it's like, I think in that particular situation, that's what she was just accustomed to.
[01:50:35] Speaker B: I had a situation like that. I'm with one of my homeboys, right? A while back. We out somewhere, and I probably. I was living here for a hot little minute, but not as long as I've been here now, right? We out somewhere, and he seen a chick that he knew. He was like, or newer or new of her or whatever. But either way, he's like, bring your stinking ass over here. I was like, oh, she about to cuss him out. She's like, well, he's so crazy.
[01:51:01] Speaker A: I was like, yeah, it works. I don't talk like that.
[01:51:03] Speaker B: Bring your stinking ass over here. I was like, like, huh?
[01:51:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't talk now.
[01:51:07] Speaker B: They friends.
[01:51:12] Speaker C: Like that.
[01:51:13] Speaker B: Like, yeah. Like, you could play with certain people. But he said it in a room full of people.
[01:51:19] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:51:19] Speaker A: And I was like, you was confused.
[01:51:21] Speaker B: I was like, I know she ain't going for that.
[01:51:23] Speaker A: She was like, what?
[01:51:23] Speaker C: You so crazy. Give me a drink.
[01:51:25] Speaker D: I was like, oh, well. She was. That's the time. She was.
[01:51:29] Speaker B: I was like, okay.
[01:51:30] Speaker A: But I think Shorty was kind. Kind of accustomed to that way of.
[01:51:32] Speaker B: Talking versus she wanted, yo. It's like, yo, like, I. I was in the shop and a chick was in there, and I forget what music we was playing in the shop. It was like some, like, early 2000s rap, right? And Shorty was like, yeah, that's when men was men. I was like, when he was calling you and hoes and that's what you like? And she was like, that's what men was in. Men is real sassy now. I was like, so at some point in time, you was comfortable with niggas calling you bitches and hoes and degrading you?
[01:52:05] Speaker C: I mean, what are you saying? What was the song?
Cause Old school R B wasn't calling.
[01:52:11] Speaker B: I didn't say R B. I said rap.
I did say rb. Oh, pardon me. I apologize, Lee. It was some, like, early 2000s, maybe no later than 2005 rap. She's like, yeah, that's what men was mentioning. I'm like. I was like, so you like for people to talk to you like that?
[01:52:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:52:28] Speaker B: Cause niggas nowadays is sassy. You know, that's everything that niggas do now is Sassy. But when a disrespects you do be sassy, though. I'm not saying that n. Don't be sassy, but I'm not saying that they don't. But it was just a reference of, like, that's when men was men.
[01:52:43] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:52:44] Speaker B: That now that niggas treat you with a little bit of respect. Now we sassy.
[01:52:47] Speaker D: Yeah. I mean that, you know.
[01:52:49] Speaker C: Yeah, that's.
[01:52:51] Speaker B: No, it was. It was the individual that I. I was talking to, and she kept trying to backtrack. I'm like, no, just. You said it.
[01:52:58] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:53:00] Speaker C: Respect and me and sassy. That's two different conversations.
[01:53:04] Speaker B: So what I was basically what I was saying to her, I was like. I was like, men are still. I was like, so you don't. I was like, so you don't like to be talked to with respect? She was like, I mean, yeah, but y'all niggas be trying to cater. And I was like, all right, that bitch's job. I was like, I know.
[01:53:21] Speaker C: I know that. I know that.
That was me Is sassy, but still deserve respect.
[01:53:29] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:53:29] Speaker B: No, but that was me baiting her into a debate, and she didn't have the right answers. Like, she thought her. Her statement was slick.
[01:53:36] Speaker D: Yeah.
[01:53:37] Speaker B: In a room full of men. And I was like, so she had.
[01:53:40] Speaker D: To learn how to read the room better.
[01:53:41] Speaker B: What do you mean by that?
[01:53:42] Speaker D: Came over the barbershop at the mail bash and talk.
[01:53:44] Speaker A: I think we are in an era where.
[01:53:50] Speaker D: People.
[01:53:50] Speaker A: People, not people. The black community is starting to see things a lot differently. I mean, just far as, like, we can go down the spectrum. Mental health, being awareness. I think we are new to these things versus other races.
[01:54:06] Speaker D: Yeah. I mean, a lot of it is generational curses.
[01:54:09] Speaker A: Yes. And I think. I think, honestly, some women just come from an era where things were a little different. And now we, in an era where we're trying to be much more in tune with who we are, are as people, so we can make better decisions as whether it comes to partners, jobs, friendships, whatever the case may be. And some people are just not understanding of that.
[01:54:31] Speaker D: Right.
[01:54:31] Speaker A: So it's like that when she says that, she's just in a space where she don't understand the dynamic of how men are today. You know what I'm saying? But you know me.
[01:54:41] Speaker B: I, I, I'm. I'm an antagonizer.
[01:54:44] Speaker A: No, I get that. I get that.
[01:54:45] Speaker B: That was me.
[01:54:48] Speaker D: A lot of it.
[01:54:50] Speaker A: I completely understand. I know who you are, and I get that. But I also think it speaks to a Bigger conversation of, like, yes, we are new to a lot of the shit that we were kind of burying. Yeah.
[01:55:06] Speaker D: But it's not an excuse to stay that way.
[01:55:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:55:09] Speaker B: When you know better, you know better.
[01:55:11] Speaker D: When you know better, you do better.
[01:55:13] Speaker B: If you're not elevated and then you're.
[01:55:15] Speaker A: Yeah. And I think a lot of people are just kind of new to the. To that. You know what I'm saying? Like I said, back in the day was a lot different, you know what I'm saying? But now we're in a space where men are much more in tune with who they are or wanting to be in tune with who they are. Just learning big words like boundaries and like, that got four syllables, bound to three syllables.
[01:55:37] Speaker D: Right.
[01:55:37] Speaker A: Like, man, the word I hated last year. What was that? That word last year?
[01:55:41] Speaker C: The pride. Who is the prize?
[01:55:43] Speaker A: The prize.
[01:55:44] Speaker C: Who is the prize in that relationship?
[01:55:45] Speaker D: Who's the prize?
[01:55:46] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:55:47] Speaker A: Men.
[01:55:49] Speaker B: Oh.
[01:55:51] Speaker A: Both of them.
[01:55:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:55:53] Speaker A: I mean, essentially. Essentially both of them. But I mean, for. For a man, he has to build himself up to be worthy enough to attract a certain woman that he desires. So it's like, in that sense, if. If I want a certain demographic of women.
A certain demographic. Demographic of a woman. You know what I'm saying? Like, again, back to that one podcast. I'm not going to mention they only interviewed a certain particular kind of woman, which was gold diggers. And I'm like, well, if that's what you want to date, you have to build yourself up to that point.
[01:56:21] Speaker C: Because of that.
[01:56:22] Speaker A: Yes. Because you're not going to accept me if I'm a bum.
[01:56:26] Speaker D: No.
[01:56:26] Speaker B: So I.
[01:56:26] Speaker A: So I get that you as a woman can get. Like we had this argument before.
The gas station argument. Remember the gas station argument?
[01:56:34] Speaker D: You let.
[01:56:35] Speaker A: Literally, as a woman, how you look now could go to a gas station and any that you want.
[01:56:44] Speaker D: To read, right?
[01:56:46] Speaker A: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying you have that ability.
[01:56:49] Speaker C: All right, wrap it up.
[01:56:50] Speaker A: But don't have that ability. This. You got to be in a Lamborghini with a Rolex watch. That's okay. If you think so.
[01:56:58] Speaker D: I mean, but the fact that you're gonna do all that to go get the chick makes the chicken. Got.
[01:57:01] Speaker B: We got Wrap it up.
[01:57:03] Speaker A: I.
[01:57:04] Speaker D: But that's my wrap up.
[01:57:06] Speaker A: We will be back. Hopefully Jeff will be here.
