0:37 Let's rap a ballot.

0:39 Let's rap about it. Episode 43. Let's rap about it.

0:42 Uh no drinks today. We're testing the waters.

0:45 We've been healthy today.

0:46 Yeah. Health trip, you heard? Yeah. And this is where it all started, but we'll get into that later. Uh episode 43 brought to you by Playmaker, presented by Cospics America's number one sports picks app.

0:58 What's poppin'? My guy. Let me point it out.

1:01 As you can see, we don't have a water sponsor, so let's make sure that that's understood.

1:07 Yeah, we like we like Acoline. Absolutely. Yeah, I just finished working out. I just finished working out. I did a crazy workout. I did some calisthenics. Why? I was following my man Doug, and he had me doing eight sets every day. Boot camp shit. I don't like how that sounds.

1:32 What was it? The workout was fucking crazy, huh?

1:34 What was the word? I'd rather not. It was a word that for the people that don't understand, we in impact zone.

1:40 Impact zone, shouts to impact zone.

1:42 This is where it all started. Shots to impact zone. For us coming in here, you know, working out together, right? Fit lit, you know, talking about plans, scheming on ideas, building, you know, strengthening our bond. This is where it all started at right here. From the from the New Year's resolution.

1:58 From the New Year's resolution. We should get some healthy shit. That's right. We started coming in the gym every day and working out. And at the same time, we was building a barn and we was talking about doing shows. You know, we sh remember we shot that uh bro out there. What's in the here? I was in the interview the other day.

2:14 I told him, listen, the podcast is one thing, but the podcast been started before y'all even seen us on film.

2:20 Like this is an everyday banter for us. It's not like nothing new and shit like that.

2:24 There was a word you used to use here that I hated. Yeah? And I don't even I don't play pause on that, but it was a word that you used to use here. What was the word? First of all, I didn't like the way you worked out because you worked out like you wanted to be a uh uh like a like a bouncer, right? And then you was like, nah, I got to get out here, I got to be beefcake.

2:44 You remember that? No. Oh, you brought that beefcake. That was the word.

2:52 That was the word. That's it was the word. The beefcake is a little bit. That was the table. That was the beef.

3:02 That was my table. I'm supposed to be a beefcake.

3:12 Beefcake goes is crazy. Beefcake goes is crazy. Pause. Beefcake. I didn't know I don't know what that is. Yo. Oh my god, man.

3:22 But nah, that's how you know we had first started, because I ain't heard him use that word in years. Is that is that still a goal?

3:31 I have to take that out of the vocabulary. That's not a goalie. It's not even there no more. It's not something that you aspire to be. Nah, it's not there no more.

3:41 BC, right? Yeah, but nah, we we started here, man. You know, for real. This this is this is this this brings back memories and shit. For real. Definitely, man.

3:50 It kind of started my workout journey too. Like, yeah. I think it came from a conversation we used to be having in like Chelsea House or somewhere we was having a conversation, then we ended up being in the gym.

4:00 No, you pulled out that thing. That um you had a resolution pause. Whoa, pause. That's where you're gonna do it. Hey, yo. No, you pulled out a resolution.

4:16 Um it was on my phone.

4:19 It was on your phone, and it was like a plan. Like healthy, working out. We all four of us was in Chelsea's house that night, and we was like, you know what? We all gonna do it. Let's start going in the gym. And we came in the gym and we started getting it in. Yeah, and everybody kept it up.

4:36 I mean, we all we always were working out, but I see everybody has kept it up since we started that journey.

4:40 Yeah, yeah.

4:42 I mean, yeah.

4:44 Somewhat. Yeah. Somewhat. I I'm better now. You better now? Yeah, I probably was off like a whole year.

4:52 Or a whole year. Or a whole year. Nah.

4:56 I think I think working out though too, though, you gotta find that like um that motivation to keep your consistency going too. Because I feel like anybody who works out, they've had like little spots where they don't want to go fall off. Like, you know what I'm saying? Wake up and you ain't even got the urge to even go.

5:16 But it's sometimes that you on it every day. Like you can't wait to go back. And then that's why it's so crazy the difference of that. Like it's sometimes you on it consistently every day, and then it's sometimes you feel like you gotta drag yourself there. Like, you know what I'm saying?

5:31 Discipline. That's where discipline comes in when you gotta drag yourself there, but you need to do some shit anyway, because you you know what I mean?

5:37 Like you was doing real outlandish shit here. Like coming in here with jeans, suits on, yeah, boots on, and coming in from the street.

5:44 I was coming in from the street.

5:47 You had a roly on one time. I was coming in from the street.

5:51 What you want me to do? I remember you can't have there with a whole coat on.

5:55 You worked out in a coat. I ain't have a change of clothes. Yeah. What do you want me to do? This is the gym that's that Mr. David is exaggerates his walk. Mr. David, how do I exaggerate my walk? After the workout, yeah. You was walking in here like this. Nah, you you didn't know what you got a hell of a button.

6:13 You want to move the gym when you walk through this shit. Like, nah, that's David in the building.

6:19 You know, it's gonna lie of shit, you heard? Slow motion too. You know what'd be the motivation.

6:24 If if people like say you you you start working out and people see you working out, you see the change in your physique, in your physique, you know what I'm saying? And then you fall off, and then a nigga be like, damn, you ain't working out no more. And you shit like that.

6:39 Yeah, yeah, yeah. When a nigga tells you you're not walking out, or yo, you gotta slip, or yo, you put like you're losing weight. Oh, hold on, let me get back right.

6:47 I was on some sneaky shit too, because I was when we started too, it was like it was still cold outside. I like wearing hoodies the whole time. And then by the time like spring, summer, you just bust you start coming out with sleeves on niggas like, oh, you coming out low sleeves?

7:02 Yeah, looking in at work. Hell yeah. Fad was coming in here with real outfits on the shit. Right now, they was mad.

7:09 It was matched because my sweatpants was matching hoodies.

7:12 Socks was matching, you was matching socks with headbands. Like, that was crazy. That's how he went out. That was crazy. That's the work. They loaded down to the ground. That was wild.

7:22 So what was worse? Matching or the role's in the Tim's? Who came?

7:27 But mine came with an excuse because I didn't have no other clothes to work out in. Nah, he is a team heading.

7:32 He don't live that far from here. You could have went home, do some workout shit on, and just shot back out.

7:37 Capo's just like ridiculous though. Yeah. In here with Tim's jeans on. And I and I know people looking at him like he's crazy. Yeah. That's me thinking. He's working out with him. And then he's serious. He's serious about the workout, though. It's not even like serious. It's not like he's coming in here.

7:52 He's serious about the workout with a jean suit on. Like. That's true.

7:58 That's serious, though. With a whole bubble goose on just doing sets with the blue.

8:03 At least I got my work in. You heard? Can't be mad at that.

8:06 Nah, but it's a good, it's a good um thing to add to your to your even your routine. You know what I'm saying? Just being able to come to the gym, clear your mind. Uh when we was coming, we would be able to chop it up about things we was going to. Brother, even the besides the banter, it would be real, real life conversations, talking about our kids.

8:26 You know what I'm saying? Even for that hour or two that we was in there, and then we would go our separate ways and go handle our shit in the world.

8:33 Health is important for everybody, but as we get older, it's even important for the live longer, health is wealth, movement is medicine. Um shit.

8:42 Like if I wasn't in so good of a shape, my results from when I went to the heart doctor might have been way crazier and shit like that.

8:51 So it's like there's a lot of benefits for real about keeping yourself in shape and getting to the gym. But and dieting is just as important, also, and shit like that.

8:59 I struggle with that. I struggle with dieting. Like I don't eat beef, I don't eat pork, I don't eat chicken, but I eat a lot of snacks. Not so much, it's it's really not so much that it might be more the starchy food, a ton of sugar anyway. With no pasta, not so much bread, but like pasta, you know, rice, you know, a lot of that, and then eating at hours that I that is just gonna sit on the buttons eating at the eating, it's not it's no real restriction on what time you eat, it just depends on what you eat.

9:38 Yeah, I think that's the hardest part, though. What you eat. I think what you what you eat is one of the hardest disciplines about being healthy to me. I think you gotta, that's a consistency too, because I'll be on like eating healthy for a week or two, and then something crazy come about that I will that I that I wanna eat, and that shit'll throw you all off again.

9:58 Like you did.

9:59 With the pre-diabetic, I that shit fucked me up mentally so much that I just went like rogue and was going super food and all that shit. End up losing so much weight.

10:07 It was like, yo, you gotta but you gotta find your balance and that shit, you know? You did and you gotta find what food you can eat that can't actually have your app put weight back on and shit like that. Like so. But that's what I'm trying to get right now is to get to get my pre-diabetic, I believe like under a level five and shit like that, and then it takes me out of that.

10:24 So you can't eat a lot of sweets though, right? No sweets at all. I try not to eat no candy. I try not to eat no candy. But the hard part is what you said, the bread. That's what the doctor's like. You gotta chill out with the bread, with the bread. Pasta, pasta. That's that's it turns into sugar. Yes.

10:41 Yeah. Like, I eat a sandwich all day if I if I got a chance to.

10:48 It's a sneaky part of like building muscle too. Like you see your shit getting right, and then you like cause slack off a little bit, but that that downside of like when you start stop working out and your shit like slim, like it now, you gotta really get back because it don't they go off faster than it.

11:09 It's a week. It's a route. You're back to pookie status. Oh, you're feeling bad as well. You might not look as bad as you feel, but you feel like you pooky out.

11:18 Like, damn, I missed it.

11:19 We put it in so much work when you even get to the city. You feel like, damn, I gotta get back to the back.

11:28 We let yourself go.

11:30 That's a good thing that you feel like that, because that's gonna inspire you. Get you back. At least because if you feel guilty about it, that's good.

11:36 You never seen a nigga come home from jail, they be like, what's in that? But then they get out on the streets, they ain't really have that same discipline and they just lose. Like, I've seen niggas do that. All they turn on all the time.

11:47 They like cause a lot of times they're gonna be able to do that. Muscle turn you have, yeah, muscle turn into fat. You gotta maintain it.

11:53 Yeah, you gotta, it's consistency is really the key, to be honest. Yeah, with anything, man. I always say that. So, like with working out, that's one of the things that you gotta, if you're gonna start, like, try to do something. Even when you can't, sometimes I felt like I would do like shit in the crib or something.

12:08 If I couldn't get to the gym or if I'm in a hotel or something, get some push-ups and get something to get active.

12:13 You know what I'm saying? That that what they say movement is medicine, like any bit of movement you can get going on is important and shit like that. That's a fact.

12:21 Or last week, we went from a we had uh strip club.

12:26 We went from a strip club to the gym. But that's how that's really how rap life really is, though. Like you really could have a completely like I've went from the Grammys to the strip club or the Grammys to, you know what I'm saying? Like I've be that extreme sometimes.

12:43 Like, yo, 100%. You'd be in the strip club last night and be in the gym in the morning.

12:46 Trying to get rid of the strip club. I'm trying to get a strip club out of my sister.

12:49 Do you think it's people who go to the strip club and then go to church in the morning? Yes. Oh yeah. Strippers praise the stripes.

12:54 Strippers go to church from the strip club. Praise the Lord. And praise the Lord and pay their tithes and offerings. Praise the Lord. And ask God for forgiveness for hoeing the past week. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do don't do that. Don't do that. What you think they going to church for? Everybody in that's that's a bug.

13:11 They not asking for forgiveness for hoeing? Hold on. Because you you're making a statement and it's basically saying that everybody in church is hoeing. Because you're saying that. Did I say that?

13:18 All strippers is hoeing. I said strippers.

13:21 What are you talking about? All strippers ain't hoeing?

13:23 All strippers are in the streets. We're talking about strippers that are going to church. You we asked if do people are going to church in the morning from the club? I said strippers go from the club, from the strip club to the church in the morning and ask for forgiveness for hoeing for the people.

13:35 But that don't mean just because they work in the strip club, they don't mean they're hoin. Yeah, it's a fact. So is that is that is that what we believe? Oh, wait, let's just get it. Hoin and stripping is two different things. Right, that is the two different professions. That's not the same thing. Yeah.

13:46 That's two different professions. It's two different professions. Sometimes they do both depending on who it is, but not all do both.

13:53 Sometimes they multitask, but sometimes it's a separate profession.

13:57 Right. So, I mean.

13:59 That's why I asked.

14:00 I wish I knew how to impersonate Denzel right now, you heard?

16:10 Yeah, man. That was fire, man. That was that was really dope. That was really dope. That was really dope. And that was the biggest. Pause.

16:20 Pause. Pause. That was wrong.

16:24 I don't know. I can't say that was that was wild. It was the big, it was the biggest. That was the biggest crowd. Okay. It was the biggest crowd. Okay, that's all you had to say. I don't play Paul Wednesday. I can't keep falling victim. No, but it's not games. No, it was a good thing. But it's not a game, it's a way of life.

16:44 It's not like a game. This is part of the manuscript. But it was the, it was the it was our third annual. It was it was the biggest crowd that we had. It was, you know, everything from rides to you know gaming trucks to you know food that we give away. One of the one of the illest things that happened there, and I put it on the internet, is when a man walked up to me and said, I'm homeless.

17:08 Thank you for feeding. That was real that was real deep to me because I looked at, you know, the lines that we had on those free uh uh food trucks and people getting food and how how thankful they was that somebody came back and was doing that for them, you know. So shout out to everybody who came and I and I'm and I'm super glad that y'all came, man.

17:29 I love that it's a celebration of the community too. You know what I'm saying? I'm from Best Stop too, so you know I seen a lot of all your friends, all like, you know what I mean? My brother was there, like everybody came out. You seeing people you ain't seen in a long time, you know what I'm saying?

17:43 I done went to different ways of life, and now they came back to, you know what I mean, to the community as well. So it was really dope, man. Like, besides just what the things you were doing, but just seeing everybody as a community.

17:55 Celebrating the hood, that's a fact. You said it right. And but Miss Calibras came, and we talked about seeing it, the legendary.

18:01 I saw the clip of the the She looked like somebody put her daughter, put it on IG. Her daughter was like, yo, she was watching, she heard it. It's crazy how that generation went to that generation like you know what I mean. So she was last fire. I think he talked about my mom. You know what I'm saying?

18:15 But they're still she she she gotta be. She stopped it in the 60s. 60 some baby, 70. And she is like a little bit. She looked good. She looked healthy. But she worked out when she's outside. You could tell, yo, she a legend. Any any anybody that been in the full building and was a young nigga that said it, they known for them asses.

18:38 She said it on the clip.

18:39 She said, she said. That's how we said, the daughter, she said it on the clip.

18:46 The daughter had a donkey's legendary.

18:48 Oh, the daughter donkey. What? Daughter donkey. You said the what? Daughter donkey.

18:53 Yeah. The daughter donkey? The daughter got a donkey on. The daughter's a donkey. What you trying to do? She got the donkey. The calibrate. It's no family.

19:05 Right, because it was a they had a sister. She had a sister that worked in the jail too. They all had she got an ass too? Yeah, they drive.

19:13 Nah, the daughter did say they they family name is Calibras with the ass. That gotta be gotta be talking about my mother. It ain't too many people with the name Calibrant.

19:35 Shout out to the Calibrant.

19:41 I said, how L is that? That was the L. That was it on the pod and then.

19:44 That's one thing about these platforms, too. Like we telling stories of our past and stuff like that, but the people sometimes could see it. But this crazy part about it is her daughter seen that. She might have not would have seen it. You know what I'm saying? Like her daughter saw it because she and the social media time, and then it, you know what I'm saying?

20:01 It's crazy.

20:02 Man, you ain't seen her since I was a kid. Yeah, that's crazy. But but that's the power of the internet, and you never know watching, but watching this shit, bro. She left a hell of an impression on you. Yes. Forget her. In the bin, watching like this. That was the closest window. Like that was the closest.

20:22 Damn. It was what? Man, listen, I could go on for days about that, man. But listen, man. For the first time ever Super Bowl Sunday is on Valentine's Day. How exactly is that is this gonna go for the fellas next year? What? Super Bowl, that happened before, right? Super Bowl Sunday was never.

20:42 That was actually usually the first week in February. I don't know how it's because All-Star Weekend is usually like the second or third week. So I don't know how maybe All-Star Week is moving back a week too, but um Super Bowl will be that like it can be a Super Bowl race. It's gonna be tricky more at home than I think, like going to it.

21:01 I think like, you know, men want to watch the Super Bowl and women want to be celebrated for Valentine's Day. Right, so how that's gonna go? I don't know. We're gonna go to watch the Super Bowl, then go to dinner or something. I don't I don't know how that go. No, if your team lose, you ain't gonna know it.

21:14 Ain't gonna know it. You're gonna be excited. That's your money. You're gonna be excited. Fuck Valentine's Richie. That's why I love it.

21:26 Yo, baby, I bet that money on the man. We ain't we ain't we even have a good night to know.

21:30 Valentine's money. Valentine's Day is rocking on this bitch.

21:34 It's me, Richie.

21:36 Thought I was gonna come up, baby. You know the flowers and sweet. I thought I was gonna come up and we was gonna do it big, baby.

21:41 It's right there on my parlay. We just missed my one. Yeah, I missed all that. That might cause some friction, though, honestly, in the household.

21:49 No, that's definitely a fight in a lot of households. It is because niggas not jacking. Niggas will fight about Super Bowl. Some niggas love football so much that they gonna definitely wanna shoot the fit one with.

22:00 With a girlfriend, like, but I was shooting the fair one before I go to Valentine's Day and miss the Super Bowl. But because Valentine's Day, you need to be out the house earlier than oh, you do it early. You think a woman is jacking early? Now you try to try to go to the Super Bowl. You try to get out of the way.

22:17 It's like five, six o'clock. They're trying. You gotta get your sitting in the street.

22:23 911 on Valentine's Day. It's a lot of fights. But you know how, you know how packed restaurants is on Valentine's Day. You can't wait till after the Super Bowl because it's gonna be like insane. It's too crazy. Bro, niggas is not. It's gonna be a problem then. This rap is Valentine's Day.

22:38 If you got a girl into football, it might be a lot of new people, girls.

22:43 We're gonna do the Valentine's football event.

22:45 We're gonna go crazy getting jerseys and then Valentine's a couple days later. That might not be that gonna work. What he said? What? You do that. Yeah, don't bring that up at the crib.

22:56 Don't try that. Don't bring that up at the crib. Yo, babe. What if we don't invite it for me to go Tuesday? I don't want to buy it.

23:07 Don't do it. Postpone it.

23:10unknown No.

23:10 Yeah, don't do that.

23:11 No, no, no, no, no, no.

23:12 I wouldn't. What if you what if but what if you you say, baby girl, the game starts at six, so we gonna we're gonna do a crazy breakfast, brunch, thing. You know what I'm saying? Go to a brunch and be home by halftime. I would say vibe, nigga. They wanna watch the kids. So we gotta compromise. We gotta compromise.

23:37 I gotta get back to this house by halftime.

23:40 We could go out. We can go to Italy for pasta for lunch. I don't care what goes on, but we gotta get back to the house by halftime.

23:48 Another flex is taking your lady to Super Bowl. Oh shit. Like if she entered that now.

23:53 Oh, now you flexing. You heard? Everybody don't got that flexibility. Everybody don't got that flexible.

24:00 That's a hard flex. Everybody got that flexible. You're talking flexing, you heard? That's a flexible Super Bowl ain't cheap. That's a lot of flexibility right there. Fuck it.

24:12 Shit. Fuck. As well.

24:14 Well, we'll see what happens. We got some time. Some niggas, girl, gonna come to them and say, I want to go.

24:18 Only niggas that's gonna get away with it is the niggas that team don't make it to the football. If your team don't make it to the Super Bowl, you cool.

24:25 Yeah.

24:25 Because then it's not, it's it's it's not as urgent. A football fans like watching the Super Bowl.

24:30 It ain't even like doing the team. People like to watch it, the performance, all of that. You know what I'm saying? And that's another thing.

24:37 Depending on who performing, like you said, nobody wanna miss the halftime. Right. It's gonna be some tension. It's gonna be something. It's gonna be some tensions. It's gonna be awesome. I jam. I'm not big on football like that. Yeah, I don't, I mean, yeah. But it's gonna be some tension.

Yeah, put that in the chat about all of the things. That ain't I miss the crackheads. You always find our way back to crackheads bringing me to the 80s.

25:45 Even in the gym. You missed the crackheads? I missed the crackheads of the 80s. They were a different, a different specimen. Especially the 86 and 90 crackheads. They were a specimen. They were a different type of mold. So that's the only thing you missed. Because the post was the things that we used to do in the 80s and 90s that we don't do no more.

26:05 Like use maps in the car, like sell crack. You miss selling crackers. How much more did you think about? One thing about cracking out. Tell me about how much more besides that did you do?

26:19 Everything that we did in the 80s and 90s stemmed from crack deals. Nah. Oh, this nigga's wild.

26:26 This nigga is wild. This nigga's wild. We wanted to get kids. You know what I mean?

26:29 We wanted to get sneakers? We sold crack. We wanted to get fresh?

26:32 We sold crack. We want to go out, we sold crack. We want a snickerball? We sold crack. Okay, we sold crack.

26:38 You know what I missed from the 80s and 90s? Like genuine, everything was genuine. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like hip-hop was pure, like in the 80s. But in the 90s, too, like, it was so much originality in hip-hop in the 90s. Like, people wasn't trying to sound like someone. It was cool to be, you know what I mean?

27:00 Wu-tang is one way, Biggie was another way, Nas was just like that originality, that genuine, but even down to everything. It wasn't no, like, of course, it wasn't no social media, but it wasn't people like clout chasing to me. Like, it was more like everything you did because it was like.

27:16 Clout chasing probably came in a different form, and we didn't call it clout chasing.

27:20 I mean, it I mean, this this everybody could do something for a motive, but at the same time, I mean, like, now, because of the way social media is and the way you get things back from showing people this certain image. That's what I'm saying. But like, in in those times, like, if somebody was getting money, they was really getting money.

27:38 It wasn't a front to like, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, you could sell like you were getting money. Everybody's gonna do it. Everything you talk about, you had to be into. If you said it, you had to do it. Like, thing. Now you could be on social media, everybody could look like they get money.

27:51 Yes, sir. And it may be five out of ten who get money, but the ten could look like they it could sell that image of it. So I miss a lot of the original.

27:59 The bus rides used to be dope. Y'all didn't have bus rides in the hood, go to great adventures and shit like that. Those are super dope.

28:06 We called Great Adventures. Rod Playland? Y'all did Rob Playland? Yeah, we stole so much shit out of Great Adventures. So my god. Action Park? Action. Dawny Park. Everything, though. Everything. Dawny was lit for the water parks. Everything. You heard the whole hood. Action park was a water park too.

28:24 It still got action park. It's a action park. It's called something else.

28:28 It was a couple of things. I just can't remember.

28:30 It was a couple of things like that. I remember one with the phone. Like the phone. Having the phone and having to go on the city. Private screen was the long wire.

28:38 Niggas used to buy the long cord for the so you could have privacy. You could go put that shit in your room.

28:42 The super long cord. Super long cord. It was things like you couldn't even use the phone.

28:48 When my grandmother went to work, she used to hide the phone. We in there playing hide and go sleep, trying to find the phone to put the phone back in and to use that shit in 84 and 85. My mom was in there was going by me and it's a little bit more. You couldn't be up on a wall with no cord in it. 100%.

29:00 Mama loved putting that shit in the closet. I be on the phone.

29:05 I remember when Cold Wait, I remember the cold waiting started.

29:09 It wasn't no call waiting. Call Wayne started was fired. It was like yo, click over.

29:13 You like, yo, listen, it was something simple. That's the original. Just clicking over was fire. Like you didn't just tell your super fuck over. Somebody go you felt good. You felt important. Like hello who this. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Somebody else from the city. They want to speak to somebody else.

29:28 Nah, they ain't here right now. You gotta click like, oh yeah. I ain't getting off the phone yet. Nah. You know what I mean? All of this shit was just original.

29:35 Now it's just everything is like it's like in the feelings of doing certain things that we don't do no more. Like it was like when you went to go see your homeboy and one of your friends, you you went and knocked on their door. You ain't know if they was home or not. Right. And when you when you wanted to meet somebody, you was like, yo, Jim, meet me tomorrow at three o'clock.

29:54 Right. Meet me. You know what I'm saying? Like you had to go. You had to just wait. It was no way to check, like, but niggas was on point. Niggas is pulling up around.

30:03 It was no navigation. Not in the cars, yeah. Like people was would draw to other states and have to print out a map and like follow this map.

30:11 Pulling over the car. Hey, yo, you know where 193rd Avenue and St. Nick place is? This nigga be like pulling over. Yo, yo, make two rights to the left and go up there.

30:19 And you be like, what? You know one cool thing about being in New York City that we didn't like have to have maps because we had trains and buses. So we knew the routes. We'd be on train routes. You know what I'm saying? Like you knew how to get downtown, you knew how to get to 125th. Everything was kind of lined out for you.

30:36 Till you got in the car, that's when you had to like know where something well was. The car was different than the train.

30:40 You could get anywhere on the train, you're right. A nigga get in that car couldn't get nowhere. Trying to get to the skate key for the first time when I had the car was different. Like, yo, they even know how to get on the uh the the what Bronx highway to take.

30:52 The Bronx River was the Brooklyn. And it was no navigation. No navigation. I think I missed the prices or shit. Prices? Mm-hmm. Like just like $20 fitish? Candy and just all that type of dollar fishes?

31:06 All that shit. Dollar Sour Power?

31:08 Cheaper, like penny candy, like all that.

31:09 Paper bag, 25 of them in that joint.

31:12 What did crackheads get out of stores a lot? Soap stems. No, no, no, no, no, no. Regular stores. What's what's what's the thing? They steal? No. If they had a dollar, 50 cents or whatever. Lucy's. Oh. Lucy's bogies. Lucy's. Bogies. We called Lucy's. Bogies.

31:35 You don't see Lucy's no more. You know and do Lucies now. They still put Lucies.

31:38 They're like 50 cents. 75 cents or a dollar right now. How much is a Lucy? A dollar?

31:43 They a dollar right now. What was a Lucy back in the day? 25 cents. Quarter, right? I remember when phones was 10 cents. You get four.

31:49 You get four, four dollars. That's where niggas get too removed. I don't know now. That's where dropping a dime comes from. You know that, right?

31:55 The terminality dropping a dime comes from when phones used to be 10 cents. Dropping a dime on this pump.

32:01 In a pay phone.

32:02 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

32:03 That's a fact. He was talking about the other day about handball, how that was like New York City had like a lot of.

32:10 In the 80s, handball was a strong thing in the 80s now. The Puerto Ricans had that been on span on sponges in New York City.

32:19 But you came out on any day in the summertime, you seen people playing handball. For sure.

32:24 With this tall ass atticle wall in the middle of every project. But what is that wall for?

32:30 They got a tall ass atticle wall. Like, who made this? Put this tall ass jail wall there, bro. It's crazy.

32:37 And every project's in the city. Everywhere. And on side blocks. Every project's in every park. You don't see it no more, but I was telling you though, I was seeing on Instagram. They do be having tournaments.

32:47 Handball tournaments.

32:48 Handleball tournaments.

32:49 I used to hang with the all the girls used to play handball. So I used to fuck with the girls. I would go play handball. I learned how to play just to learn how to get around a girl.

32:58 I never was able to get with that. Like, you know, I was. Yeah, I wasn't. I ain't gonna lie. Girls used to go crazy for the double dutch back in the day. Of course. They go wild on double dutch. What? See, these kids they miss all that. Growing up, it happened to be outside, have to really interact, really have real relationships.

33:19 Like they don't play no, they don't play no tag, freeze tag, ring of levia, black roll. None of these games we can't play in the game. They don't go outside.

33:28 You get teenagers now. They stay in the crowd.

33:32 I'ma whip the shit out you when I get this belt. I wouldn't give head paws. I'm going crazy when I get this belt. Y'all niggas better run. Y'all done play hot piece of butter for a couple of years. Of course.

33:44 Of course. But look, these kids now don't have none of those kind of experiences. Everything is cyber. I was looking at the movie, the Kevin Hart movie, and the dude was like, man, I I I'm uncomfortable talking to her in person. It's better for me to just, you know, go and DM her. She's right there. You right.

34:05 And then see her, not say nothing. It's crazy like that. DM her?

34:09 Yeah, that's the way that's a good idea.

34:10 It'd be right there. It's crazy like that. Everything is cyber. Cyber. Whereas before everything was contact. Right. You couldn't do that too. You had to bag a girl. You had you young. The most you probably can get is get your home, your homegirl and yo, help me out, bag a little bit. Right, but it's but it's still had the.

34:27 So it's being outside a old school thing. It's inside the new thing for their generation.

34:33 Yeah, because technology, but they outside, inside. Because they outside, but they still inside. But they outside is different. It's a different type of outside. It's not the same feeling. It's not the same feeling. It's not growing up in the hood. The fucking Johnny Pump is on. Like it's different.

34:50 Like I would come outside early. Of course, I would go back and forth in the crib, but you could be outside all day. A real mission. Before the water on your blood.

34:59 Like all day. I would be outside.

35:02 We in Harlem, but we all the way in the Bronx before the day is out there. You coming all the way like a real mission every day.

35:09 All over like Holy everywhere. Now like they kind of more like something, they'll come out and do some streaming shit or do you know what it is? But then they done like they wore. Yeah.

35:21 Of course. Think about it from your mother's perspective, right? Back then, you went outside and it was no way for her to contact you. She had to just fake ass whistle.

35:31 What about the moms used to whistle? Like, nah, I heard my mama's whistle. I gotta go. What? My mama screamed out the window. She had that whistle just coming fine.

35:42 That wasn't. She'll scream out the window looking for you. But if you wasn't on the block, yeah, you gone. You know, you gone. I wasn't out there, mom. You gotta come back when you come back.

35:51 But they tell you to move from that block till that first time you jump off that block, like we out of here. I gotta do it.

35:56 Once you start getting off that block, you start exploring you on the train by yourself. Going to different boroughs. Yeah, you could just hope, you gotta hope that you're bro.

36:05 That train was a real limo back in the day, nigga. Nigga got on that train for.

36:09 Four years old, going all the way to the Bronx by myself. Yeah.

36:12 Bro, they used to send me to I told you, Mom, grandma used to send me to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to go take packages to my uncle Ricky when he was locked up. This had to be 91, nigga. Like you heard? All the way from Harlem.

36:24 Train to where that part that shit is? Which I was on Atlantic Avenue. Yeah, right there all the way in the back by the water and shit like that. Oh, when you're talking about Brooklyn, the Navy Yard was where the jail was. Remember, it was a jail and that shit back there, yeah. Yeah. Behind those projects.

36:37 What projects is that? That's for a green. That's arrogant. Yeah, yeah.

36:41 Would you encourage your kids to be outside more, or do you like the fact that their generation is a more? But it's nothing outside. Outside ain't the same.

36:50 It's not the same. It's not, it's it's not like it's not.

36:52 I mean they ain't playing hot peas and butter, but I'm saying like get out, get active, and and do something. You still gotta go outside. You still gotta go outside take things. Like they don't do a lot of the things that even when they be together though, they all like this. Yeah. Yep. They'll be in the crib.

37:17 Yo, you seen this? And you showing each other the phone, and that's you know what I'm saying? And I'm not blank, really blanking the phone. Add to do that too now. I ain't gonna even lie. I seen this every day. I seen this real and they was like, yo, or or everybody be like, yo, the the younger generation be on their phone at the concerts, and then they showed the whole concert, and everybody was on their phone.

37:35 So, like, some of the stuff we do, your phone is is definitely a part of every day. Everyday action, yeah, it is. I think we're I felt like we still got out and got a little more active than they did. And I think they, because things change, like, but it's still things outside the go do. It's still, you know what I'm saying?

37:53 Like it's still falling week. It's still like it's still things to get out and get active, or just on the block. You could go through them blocks now, it don't be nobody sitting outside. There's nobody sitting on stoops or sitting on the at the corner with the bodegas and shit like that. Don't be a lot of that no more.

38:07 Like certain blocks, certain blocks might have it, but not the way it was. You know what I'm saying?

38:11 I still see the fire hydrants. They still do that. I love to see that. Well, the fire hydrants reminds me of that's that's to me in Toba. See that open, you know, you put the can, you you you you you cut the can open. But then I don't know. I don't see them, I don't see them shooting the water up no more.

38:28 So speaking of that, there's this guy who was like in his car and he was talking about how the kids today aren't being raised to be uh, you know, in the environment of working or listening or, you know, doing the things that they need to do to be progressive. Like they they kind of like are they not educated to be in that in that world.

38:51 They just kind of think they can just do whatever they want to do, and he's saying is it the parents' fault for not like guiding them and things to that.

38:59 We raising kids that can't be hired, kids.

39:01 Yeah, soft kids too.

39:03 Right. But I believe that. I believe it because I I feel like and I know from us, I know some of the horrors that we experienced, but we kind of didn't want our kids to go through that, right? So we kind of coddled them and and and made life easier for them. Right, but the experience is different, so now they they they not as responsible.

39:24 When I was 11 years old, my my mother, my father took me to the G-train and showed me how to ride the four stops. And it was important that you that that that he taught me that because you won't be out here on your own at some point. Yeah. I don't feel like I went at raising my son the same way. You know what I'm saying?

39:46 I don't and I'm I'm being honest about that. I don't feel like I because I I was more fearful about things that I've been through. And I'm like, I don't even want him going through none of this, I don't want him experiencing that.

39:56 I am happy that they didn't experience some of the things that we, but I do feel like those things also taught us the lessons on how I I say to my sons when they go into school every day, watch your surroundings. Because I know that's what, but I got that from the way I was actually in the environment.

40:15 I didn't watch that surroundings. So you know what I mean? But when I say it to them, I don't know if they getting it to the not like we got it.

40:21 No, no, no.

40:21 The way that I'm getting it, but they do it, but they do it's going on. They get it. Be able to get out of it, you know what I'm saying? Like, I want you to be able to make it home safely no matter what happens.

40:32 I don't think they get the I I believe they get it, because I say tell it to my son all the time, him being around us, but I don't think they get the severity of what we tell them. You know what I mean?

40:41 Like they don't understand, and I think it's because of what we the way we grew up and we put a lot of that on them.

40:47 And what we saw, we saw things earlier. You know what I mean? And the environment different. We was exposed to a different level. My son was outside the home on the other day. But he was out there and shit like that. I I still feel like I had to pop up on it. What the fuck? Like, I'm not just I'm not jacking up.

41:01 But that's that fear that I'm talking about. You like not what? You out there.

41:04 That's not always a fear. It's also like you know what if you just know this, you know, the environments. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you know how shit could go from everybody partying being cool, and then it just turn up. And if they're not used to shit happening like that, they may not know what to do in that.

41:22 That's my fear of it. It's like y'all don't know what to do when something happens. So that's why I always keep saying to them, yo, watch your surroundings, watch what's going on. If you see a situation that look like it's getting a little weird, you can dip. So you're like, yo, you know what I mean?

41:35 You mean your friends don't want to dip, hit me. I get your Uber out of there, you get out of there. You know what I'm saying? Don't put yourself in nothing with, you know what I'm saying? But all kids, and we was kids too, so like, we ain't jump or bust a move every time, you know what I mean, something happened.

41:49 I I've been in parties and they somebody shot it up, and then we kept partying, you know what I'm saying? So I I understand really with you know that mentality, but I at the same time, as a parent, I want them to be able to be knowledgeable of the uh of the places they in and what's going on. You know what I mean?

42:07 I know that they didn't really have to live it in the same capacity that we did. So you know what I mean? That's the only like scary part for me. But I I I I I'm glad they have to really go through it.

42:17 Of course, you know, but that's the thing. So this is the thing what he's talking about. So when we glad that they didn't have to live or experience those things, but are they prepared? Are we preparing them to be as responsible and as to be as independent as as they need to be?

42:35 As a whole, I don't think that this generation is definitely prepared for uh going outside and getting jobs and all that shit, not the way we were.

42:44 Like, damn, we did the school and all that shit, we came up without this internet, we were trained.

42:49 Yeah, they also have a lot of opportunities.

42:51 This is different.

42:51 So they really don't even feel like yo, I gotta go get some money. They feel like, yo, man, I might just start my own page, get my page popping, and then just start making money. Like they have a different thing.

43:02 But the flip side, but the flip side to that is like I'm trying to tell my son, I'm with that too. But that's but you gotta know both of it.

43:09 That's why I'm like, I'm trying to change it. Get to get just because I I own the business don't mean you don't supposed to be at work on time, nigga.

43:17 Like get to work on time, do the like learn experience, learn what's gonna take you to other places because sometimes it might not be here. You gotta go somewhere else to do it. Then you're gonna have to abide by those rules. Like I tell, I tell Zayn the same thing. It's about like, bro, your your drive, right?

43:33 Managing time, time management is very important. All these things that you're gonna need, you're gonna need it. So learn it now so it becomes it become your lifestyle, brother. Like all of those things, because nobody was giving us nothing, so we had to figure that out. Right? And we might have applied it in different areas, right?

43:52 Because if you was getting up early in the morning and you was gonna hit the block, you had some type of drive in you. 100%. If you was gonna apply yourself. It didn't matter what you did. Use the responsibility even selling drugs.

44:04 You had to be out there at a certain time. You knew you was on the money if you didn't be out there at this time.

44:10 Every level of it.

44:11 At whatever time they needed to be like a real job sometime.

44:14 Yeah, sometimes we had to make a house. You knew. That's the dust stuff.

44:19 But so how do we is there a way to change that? Is there a way to change the mindset of the generation now to move it forward?

44:27 I think you can test their responsibility too. I think you gotta put them in scenarios or situations that test their responsibility. I try to do that with my son just turned 18, so you should be responsible enough to do certain things at 18. So I gotta test it. And you gotta be able to withhold because you might you're used to doing a lot for them.

44:50 You know what I mean? You used to like they 16, but we didn't have somebody doing those things for us at 16 and 15. So we still doing it too. They get to 18 and they feel still looking at you like, yo, can you make me some noodles? Nigga, you go in there and make you some noodles.

45:03 Nigga. Nigga, Chrissy just took the nigga to the court yesterday. He had to pay some fine or whatever. Didn't happen, he had to come back. She said, if you wake up early enough, I'll take you today. The nigga didn't wake up early. He came upstairs. He came upstairs, like y'all. Being responsible. I want to sleep, bro.

45:17 You better go. You better now get there, bro. What's up? Being responsible.

45:20 You gotta put them in a position so they gotta figure out. He got it done, though. You heard that?

45:24 Figure it out. He got it done and he got his ass to walk out.

45:27 Figure it out, little nigga.

45:28 Here it is, little nigga.

45:30 The trial for Tupac's murder just started. Do you think that the justice will ever be served and that the full truth will ever be known?

45:39 30 years later is crazy.

45:41 When was y'all when Tupac got killed? I can't remember. I was in the project, living in the project, though. Well, I hope you wasn't every time, like. Now you said when do you mean you say you'll smoke crack? With a Billy? With a Billy, I smoked his crack. I was selling when I got that. With a billion at the Project 96.

46:00 Yeah. I was hurt though when Tupac got killed. That shit called a nigga bob, called a nigga off guard. Like you remember when you was at?

46:06 That's a favorite, my cousin favorite. I was your favorite nigga.

46:10 I was eight.

46:13 I think I was just in my projects too. I think it was for me, it was um, it was just a shock seeing that, you know, Tupac at that time too had a lot of like back and forth with the with the law, and you know I mean he had shot the cops in Atlanta, or shot the off-duty cops, um, and you know, had to had been to jail.

46:35 He had a lot of back and forth, but he also had the music and had movies and stuff as well. But it for him to get shot and killed, because he had got shot before, and it kind of was like, uh, he got shot and he lived, but this one was like a different kind of like realization of like, damn, he really gone now.

46:53 Like, you know what I'm saying? It was just like, yeah, nobody uh, especially of his magnitude. Um we had seen uh get killed, and he was one of the first of that that kind of likeness.

47:06 Uh killer. I was in school, goddamn. When I when I heard that school. School killed. School. School, okay.

47:19 Did they announce it in school or like how did you because it wasn't no social media, how did you find out?

47:24 A lot of shit was just the radio, the TV.

47:28 But you was in you was in school. Yeah, TV is in school.

47:32 Yeah, TV. TV's in school. Well school.

47:35 They let you watch TV and you do the bedroom or something? What's cool in school?

47:38 We try to figure out. You try to watch school. C74 schools.

47:50 You know, Bach was like my favorite nigga, man. Like he he he was the he was, and I told you this before, I felt like he he described the black male experience to me, like no other. Like the way he expressed it. It's one of my favorite black male experience. Like being young in that time, going through shit, having enemies, getting locked up, doing, you know what I mean?

48:11 Pac music had a lot of niggas doing a lot of dick. Just talking to me, bro. Hennessy, all type of talking to me.

48:17 But the most incredible thing I can say, I well, I would say one of the most incredible things uh Pac, when Pac passed, is what we witness is how much how his work ethic was and how much work he put into us.

48:31 He left albums upon albums upon music. For years and years we was hearing brand new music years after he passed away. Brand new albums years after he passed away.

48:40 So it was like he was he was a worker in that kind of like, you know what I mean? Everybody don't work in that in that pace, but Tupac, you know, they would, you know, even people who were in the studio and would tell stories like Packer going there and make seven songs a night. So imagine a week, that's that's 49 songs, even if you just did if you do seven a night.

49:00 So he would be literally, and in that time, seven songs. Like a song was three verses.

49:08 So it wasn't these two-minute songs and now and this was only three sixteen. No, three sixteens ain't easy to do, bro. And it was three verses.

49:18 Seven songs of the night is tough, dude. It was no uh, it wasn't digital yet, though. It was no, it wasn't pro-tools yet. It was no pro too. He just went through that shit.

49:28 He doing the verse, the hook, everything. All in one shot.

49:32 Low potions, doubles, it was piecing together. It was the it was it was the tape still.

49:37 And I don't even look, he don't even look like a punching guy. He looked like the verse, everything going on.

49:45 I took it and smiled. Like he's got a lot of people.

49:46 That's why if you listen, you listen to all his hooks, all of them are the same hooks, but they got different tones on them because he's singing the whole record, like you, you know what I mean?

49:55 Definitely an icon within the culture, but even down to that, his work ethic was was crazy too. That didn't still be doing movies and all of that kind of stuff as well, too.

50:04 So now he opened up a lot of lanes for the hip-hop community from the movies. He definitely opened up the movie lane in a whole different light. Like that nigga was an incredible actor.

50:14 Speaking on the trial, though, do you how do you feel about that? Like 30 years later, is that justice? Is it is it something that still should have even been looked being looked into? Like, how do y'all look at that whole situation about somebody going to trial for a Tupac murder? 30 years later, it's crazy.

50:30 I I think But you see, but the thing about the feds and all that, and from what I understand, they already knew all this. This just wasn't it's not even able to know, but it wasn't no information. See, what happened with Kiffy D is that Kiffy D was locked up? And then and then no, they did a profit session with him, and he started, he he gave up the information about this, about the whole Tupac thing.

50:56 He told him that. They gave him immunity or something on on what he was trying to fight. But I thought, I think that he thought that he had immunity period. Like, because they already knew this, he already told him that. Right.

51:09 So this trial, too, is just only about him. Yeah, it's only about that's because the dude.

51:15 Everybody else is dead. Because the dude, right, everybody, the dude that the dude that they said that really did it died.

51:19 Yeah, there's a lot of stories though around Two Box Death 2. There's a the at especially from that time to now. Now, you know, it kind of the narrative or story has got to kind of my one place, but let's say over this 30 years, it's been a lot of different ways of how it happened.

51:37 No, but they know exactly what happened, bro. Yeah. They know exactly what happened, they know who did it, they know why it happened, they already know that shit. What are they trying to hold him accountable for? Because what what he did was when when he did the deal with the feds, right, you gotta tell known and unknown things.

51:53 He told them about the Tupac shit, they let him, you know, do his racket and all that, right? He told and did whatever he did, whatever deal he made with them, right? But what he made, where he messed up at is that after he left them, he got out here and wrote a book about it and went up.

52:08 But it's like even what you just said. Well, like you holding him accountable for something that happened 30 years ago with multiple people that were involved. So now he's the only person alive to get. So now y'all go just make him accountable because he the only person alive.

52:22 That's how I go. If you was talking about it, if you if me and some states, if me and Maino in a car and we go do a murder, and Maino and and and Maino go kill somebody, and he ended up getting killed, and it's just me, and they know I ain't killed. They giving me Maino's murder. Because I was with him.

52:38 Well, listen, right, you that's all states. If you in the car, you accomplice, you with it, you you you was with it, nigga. You was a part of it. You know what I'm saying? And you might not get 100 years, but you was with it. So the thing is I think that he overplayed his hand when he kept talking about it.

52:59 I think he really believed that he had immunity. Like they just wasn't gonna fuck with it because they already knew this already.

53:07 If he put the murder on a dead man, is that snitching? But the dude that did it already died. I'm just asking a question. Is that snitching though? Is you if he said that the dude that died.

53:17 You know what? That's it.

53:18 To get out of jail, like that's that's I don't believe that. That that like that's a smooth getaway right there. You did snitching on a nigga that's dead and getting the tumble on a nigga that's dead.

53:26 That's that's cool. Some people differ in that opinion. I don't, I don't, I don't even get into that shit because the shit don't even it don't even really make no sense, right? But the thing is, is that niggas will be like, yo, a dead nigga did it. Some niggas feel like they're snitching. I'm like, is it really snitching?

53:44 Niggas is weak that feel like.

53:46 But you don't, you got you got you got niggas saying a nigga world up. No, you snitched on a dead nigga that's a dead gone.

53:52 So you trying to I got a way to get out of get out this murder charge and put it on a nigga that's a rebbed. You heard it on me. I'm telling you, I'm ready out of here.

54:01 Like I'm damn. But you're right, some niggas don't have to be. Some niggas don't, some nigga's rabbit. But in that, in that same, but in that same situation, right? The dude that they said that did it is dead. He got killed. It's been confirmed that he did it. Right. You know what I'm saying? Which was his nephew, supposedly, or whatever.

54:18 I'm just going by what I seen on the internet. You know what I mean? So I've seen so many shit. They been they done told all of this, all of the facts done been put in the. Oh, this shit already been out. This shit been out. That ain't nothing. It was not even more. It was never a secret we can do about that.

54:34 I know he said that he going, he the only one alive going through that right here.

54:38 He did too much after. He got that whatever deal he had with them. When he came out trying to get bags off the story, trying to get a check off the story, write books and all that type of shit.

54:48 They're like, hold on. Because I really, I really, I really sincerely feel like he felt, man, I'm good. I already told the things. They know this already. I'm good. I told them everything. They already know it. They gave me my deal. I I went to work, and now I'm out. Because they came back and got him a couple years later, right?

55:07 Why wasn't he good then? What because you can't do that. What you gave what you gave the feds in in working at the end. That was that was that was for that. That wasn't for you to go out here and and write a book. And and and regurgitate the story.

55:25 These cops who wrote stories on the Tupac, the cops, the cops that retired who were handling that case from Tupac and Biggie's time and stuff like that, they've been able to get away.

55:36 It wasn't in the car with the person that talked, it was in the car. That's totally different. Bro, but think about this.

55:41 At this point in time, that man is an older man right now. He's going through a trial. It's no more coming back after this trial, bro.

55:52 Like they're gonna smoke his boots at this age. So you saw I seen him other day, he was like, Man, I ain't he asked him, they say, yo, you but you wrote the book. He said, I ain't write the book. You know, I'm just telling the story, you know, and somebody else wrote it. And I feel I feel him, but but when they go play back the minutes of the promise session, nigga, you told the same exact story that you told me.

56:12 The shit is on the internet. You can look at the pre look at the shit on the internet right now. With him in the room with the fans telling the same exact story.

56:21 Terrible.

56:21 You saw that? It's crazy.

56:23 God bless him, man. I wish you the best, man. Hopefully you get over that, man. I don't wish no time on no man, you heard?

56:30 How much time is too much time to spend on room? How much is too much to spend on grooming?

56:39 For a man?

56:40 I got her competition and should what are the barbers are telling them about the house cost is $175. And everybody's gonna be like, damn, what's a house cost? So like right, how much is too much to spend on the grooming or paying a ball, right?

56:56 $100 to $200 is about the price that what barbers charge for them to get to you.

57:01 Also, they're gonna charge sometimes they may charge more than that just on celebrity. Like, you know what I mean? When they go into a celebrity office and they gonna look at everything they, you know what I mean, or what they might have had to cancel to do this, or your time that they spending. So it's definitely not gonna be like you just going to the shop.

57:19 You know what I'm saying? So you need some money for them. If you are, you should inquire what it's gonna cost.

57:26 I've learned to do that too, because sometimes you just thinking it's gonna be $100, or somebody might be like, yo, I ain't gonna lie, a nigga LA called me off guard, called me $250 with at the gram uh with the Grammys, the dude you sent up? You'd be like $200, two something, you heard?

57:40 It's like, damn. I think $500 is probably the highest I've paid.

57:44 But it was paid $500 for a lineup?

57:46 For a whole cut, not just a lineup, but like I it it was one of needed time.

57:52 What? What? Pussy costs $500?

57:55 It's five.

57:56 The pussy costs $500? I didn't know the price was $500. Is that like is that like the regular price or like a haircut?

58:05 The haircut can last longer than the pussy, though.

58:08 Yeah, at least you get a couple of things.

58:13 Hold on, hold on, let's be.

58:36 What's up, baby? I just don't understand. Did you pay somebody five hundred?

58:51 I'm gonna say you haven't paid this price before? Cause you broke the number of I'm a worldly guy. I'm a worldly random price. I'm a worldly nigga. That's a random, that's a random flag. The pussy calls me.

59:09 That's a random flag.

59:10 Price is tea in China.

59:14 What's the price of tea in China? Give him a ticket. Give him a t.

59:35 No, but I'd I paid it for a hundred because it was the time and needed it done. No, for the pussy.

59:54 I'm sorry. You still want the pussy?

59:58 I'm sorry.

1:00:02 This conversation about grooming. It's not about pussy at all. Not booming. It was about grooming.

1:00:06 But what about if does the pussy need to be groomed?

1:00:11 I mean, that's not in my uh Do you want the pussy groomed?

1:04:57 You gotta stop that. He paid me more than a job. No, but I've been in situations and rooms where, you know, I I've been around. You know what I'm saying? I'm I'm worldly.

1:05:08 We're gonna debate about it. Yeah, let's debate about it. Let's debate about a conspiracy theory. What's our theory?

1:05:13 Would you rather be immortal or reincarnated? Immortal. I'm going with immortal because if I'm reincarnated, I don't have my memories in my life, and it's just like I need all of them, so I'm I'm immortal. I feel immortal now. I'm gonna be honest with you. Immortal? Yeah, I'll probably go immortal. I'm gonna go on immortal.

1:05:38 What you think it's bizarre?

1:05:39 And then reincarnate, you might come back as a caterpillar. The fuck?

1:05:43 Yeah, it didn't say you was real, but you didn't coming back as a shit.

1:05:52 Come back in a mosquito. You gonna be tight. Come back. If you think shit dangerous, I mean it's a measurement approach. In the city? Oh my god.

1:06:04 Nah. No, you gotta go immortal.

1:06:06 Nah, I'm going immortal for sure. I'm definitely going mortal, man.

1:06:09 They ain't say reincarnated as a human.

1:06:11 So nah, that's right. You didn't you didn't specify that. Lady said to me, she said, Mano, you don't you don't get older. Like you just look the same. I said, listen, I'm gonna tell you something that only two people in the world know. And she said, what's that? I said, you know what, you ain't you ain't ready.

1:06:27 I said, I'm dead serious. She said, what's that? What's your what's your you go to the gym a lot? Like you take a shakes? I said, no, bitch. I'm a vampire. I'm 175 years old. I've been telling people. Okay? I've been around. I'm telling you. This is what I'm not telling you. I've been around 175 years.

1:06:52 I lived three lives already. I was joking. You serious? I'm dead serious. I've been here before.

1:07:00 Do you think human beings built pyramids or aliens? Do you think the humans built the pyramids?

1:07:06 Yeah, you watched the whole this week. Yeah. How are there some rabbit hole of like the pyramids and all of these stones and statues being built? All I was locked in. And I was locked in because I was like, I even if I don't believe in like aliens or giants, I can't find a logical way that these pyramids and this shit was built.

1:07:29 So I know once I brought it in the chat, y'all believed in the giants. I'll let y'all speak on y'all. But my thing was, I don't see how this was built by humans, like regular human beings. You know what I'm saying? So that's my thing with it. When I kept looking at it and I look at all of the things across the world that's built in times that they didn't have anything that we had, there's no cranes.

1:07:53 There's no, you know, is no digital or or or technology or anything to craft these things. These things were built and they're still standing today. So I don't really have an explanation.

1:08:06 They were saying that they were, they were, they were, those are giant power sources. That it's a whole bunch of. Also, but look at it. All the hieroglyphics inside of them pyramids all show aliens and space, spaceships, and all type of wild shit. So it was like, right. What are we to think when they when they when they're showing that like niggas know, oh nah, that that looked crazy.

1:08:27 Nigga drew a whole spaceship, like, oh nah, they bugging up there, you heard?

1:08:30 Like, so it's like oh, that's real shit. So it's it's like I was saying, they got built. It's one of those things, whether it was uh the aliens or whether it's uh because I read I read a book called The Black Dot that said that we had the power of telekinesis. So it was like we were able to lift objects up, and that when it came to building the pyramids, that they were able to lift those stones up and move them with their mind.

1:08:58 So whether it was the telekinesis, whether it was the giants, it was something. It was something that wasn't. That's what I'm saying. I can't say that we don't understand that. Right.

1:09:09 It was not these shits is weighing tons of. They don't have anything to lift this stuff.

1:09:16 The Great Pyramid is miles and miles.

1:09:21 You know it's directly.

1:09:24 Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The power source, the light that goes. Right, but it but it's these these pyramids are all over the world in the same type of place, like like and then in the way that they built, and it's it's symmetrically perfect, right?

1:09:38 Yeah, that's another thing too. They symmetric.

1:09:40 They symmetrically perfect, like how they cut them how these stones is huge.

1:09:44 Then inside of them, they have you can go inside of these. Then it's engineering inside inside of it. So even if you just stacked the bricks up, stairways, tunnels and shit, tunnels.

1:09:58 They said they still haven't figured out all of the tunnels inside of some of them Egypt. And then it's lined with the constellations. That's what I'm that's what I was trying to say.

1:10:07 Each pyramid is lined with the stars somehow, some shit like that. But they got them shits in Mexico with the minions and shit like that. They got the shits in America. You know, like this this this pyramid's here. You realize that, right? No, where the pyramids are here. There's pyramids here in America.

1:10:21 I'm gonna tell you.

1:10:22 Like in Vegas? What? But the looks of them up. That's the only one. I see Lux. Look up. The looks of America. That's the one I'm talking about. That's the only one I see in America. What? Look them up. What you talking about in South America? South America you're talking about.

1:10:41 South America, they do have some stones. They got a lot of them. They got weird. There's a lot of them across the world of like statues, and things that are built that they don't unexplainable. It's unexplainable, bro.

1:10:55 It's unexplainable. They still have not been able to explain these things, man. This is a phenomenon, brother. Like this is. Do we believe in aliots? So I'm saying it's something. I don't know exactly. It's something you don't believe in giants.

1:11:08 Because I never seen a giant.

1:11:10 I've never seen no giants.

1:11:12 You never seen air, but you know it's there.

1:11:14 Yeah, because I can't breathe without air. So I know I do know it's there because I have factual evidence of it. I don't have any factual evidence of there being giants.

1:11:24 There definitely were giants.

1:11:25 I'm not saying it was or it wasn't. I just I can't believe it.

1:11:28 Like I said, so so so all these different civilizations mention giants and mention giants. David and Goliath. All of them.

1:11:36 You don't believe in the Bible? You don't believe that Goliath was a grilled thing?

1:11:40 I believe the Bible has a lot of stories within the Bible fables. Not all, not really fables, but they they could be told from the experience of the Bible.

1:11:53 I mean, the right I believe that the Bible tells a lot of things that were going on back in the AB. I believe that David and Goliath definitely was uh a giant. But what about Jack and the Beanstone?

1:12:04 Even outside of the Bible, they were saying it was giants that that's how humans were at one point. Like they were giants, and then whatever happened.

1:12:12 So they say they had they got tree stumps all around the world, like big ass tree stumps that used to reach to the uh to the skies, like to the skies, uh tree of life and shit like that that people would eat from and shit like that.

1:12:22 But that's where they get the jack and the beanstalk, the whole movie or cartoon and shit like that. Do you believe in that? You where did you get the jack and the beanstalk from?

1:12:30 So a lot of things that we grew up watching and listening to is there's it's like some historic.

1:12:36 Yeah, because Jack and the Beanstalk was something true. They got all the riches up there, there was all the fruits up there, and then they start chopping all the beanstalks down so nobody could get back up there and shit.

1:12:45 It's just like the Lost City of Atlantis. They're saying that that was a real place, that that that was a part of the continents.

1:12:52 And like the continents was like, it was pieces of the earth underwater now, so there are also mysteries of the world that they don't have any explanation for. Even the ocean, you can't go to this so much wash life and everything else. You can only go to a certain thing.

1:13:10 They haven't even got busy totally. A small percentage of the city.

1:13:14 But there's a lot of mysteries I'm saying that people just have no explanation for yet.

1:13:18 But I do believe in things other than the obvious. I do believe that there's something.

1:13:24 I do believe that this shit they ain't been telling us about that some people know about, like in an article, all that crazy shit. But let's get into this man okay.

1:13:34 1-800 man o man. I am a love guru, love doctor, I am a relationship specialist, I am a life coach, and I am a scientist. No, no, no, no. Just stop. You're gonna start bleeping, man. Cause you like rage baiting that shit now. You just doing that to get a rise out of us, pause. You heard like we're gonna have to beep it out.

1:13:52 It's funny when you pause yourself, though. It's just funny. You gotta be old point out here, you know. Um, okay, let's get to it. I've been with my man for about two years. And for and for half, and for half? Two years. Two years and four half. Yeah, yeah. Okay, let's start again. I've been with my man for about two years in half that time.

1:14:15 And for half that time. For half of that time. Okay, I've also had a girlfriend. Yeah, okay. I've also had a girlfriend. Now we're talking, okay. They know about each other. Recently, he's been getting insecure because my connection with her is deep and gave me an ultimatum. Okay. He's tripping. Is it more than a little bit?

1:14:37 He's dirty macin?

1:14:39 I don't want to let her go, though, because I love her too. She's also my best eater. Okay, I like that. He's tripping. What should I do? He's dirty macing.

1:14:47 He's not as good as the eater is the green. He's just dirty macin. He got a dirty mac.

1:14:51 My question to you though, baby, is do you allow him to sample your girlfriend? Do you bring do you bring the love together under one roof? Because that would probably make things easier. You see, if you keep going back and forth, then you know he may feel insecure. He may feel jealous. Yeah, he is insecure because she probably eating her pussy from top to bottom, like in a bone.

1:15:15 Yeah, the gristle. Gristle, like, what we talking about. You understand?

1:15:23 He's dirty mac and he's hating.

1:15:25 So he's hating it. My advice to you is this consider doing big love. Bring it all together. Like big love. Big love. Bring it all together. Consider making your girlfriend.

1:15:40 Pyramid. Fucking pyramid. Consider making. It's the rock. Your girlfriend, his girlfriend.

1:15:50 And y'all all be his girlfriend, and they'll be your boyfriend. Y'all gotta come together.

1:15:56 Maybe she can be his best eater, too. That's what I'm saying. He's keeping all the eating to herself.

1:16:01 Don't be selfish. Let him eat. Let him be like, yo, what's up? Do not be selfish. Consider that. Consider that spread the eating. Absolutely. Consider bringing it all together, baby. Everybody just eat. Okay. Everybody eats meat. Everybody eats meat. Shout out to Playmaker. Catch your exclusive content on Patreon.
