00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: How did this come about? So? NOS employees have participated

66
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: in November for many years now, UH, growing mustaches, raising funds,

67
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: organizing teams. So we felt the time was right to

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: make our partnership official with a fun event that was

69
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: really created around this idea of having a conversation around

70
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: music and men's health in an effort to draw awareness

71
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: and attention to the November Foundation and men's health issues. So,

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: without further ado, I want to introduce Mark Headstrom, Country

73
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: Director of November and he will introduce Michael and give

74
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: you guys a bit of information on November. So thank you,

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: Thank you everyone. How you doing tonight? UM? A little

76
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: bit of background on November. UM, We're more than just

77
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: the thing. We're actually a global men's health foundation that

78
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: focuses on four key areas process cancer, test, secure cancer, UH,

79
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: men and boys, mental health and physical inactivity. We're founded

80
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: in Melbourne, Australia back in two thousand three and to

81
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,119
Speaker 1: date we've raised over six fifty million dollars from men's

82
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: health initiatives. And the one thing that I think we've

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: learned over those years is getting men to talk about

84
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: some of the harder issues UM that they often don't

85
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: talk about. UM is the way the mustache has really

86
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: become a powerful tool for that. It seems on its

87
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: surface a little bit ridiculous, but I can tell you

88
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: in attest to the fact that growing a mustache for Remember,

89
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: we'll start a conversation with someone in your life and

90
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: hopefully it'll change either your life or theirs. UM. So

91
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: we're really excited to have this U I am Rappa

92
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: Poor special edition UH to talk about men's health issues,

93
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: particularly with Michael's unique approach to talking about sports, life,

94
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: music and films. So I'm really excited to have him

95
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: and Mike D here. UM. You know, childhood fan of

96

Speaker 1: The people are very excited. Who selected the people? The

113
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: people selected you, Mike D. Okay, so you know, let's look.

114
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't think we give a proper introduction to to

Speaker 1: all right, that's proper, that's proper. Thank you, Thank you

119
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: for hosting us. Yes, and and and uh. This is

120
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: a live version of the Iron rapp Poor podcast, which

121
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: is a worldwide phenomenon. So some of you may or

122
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 1: may not know about and uh But but to be honest,

123
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: when I put it out that I was interviewing, uh you,

124
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: I I asked, I suggested questions, and I got so many, many, many, many,

125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: many many questions. But I'm gonna act like throw all

126
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: mine because uh, you know, I'm not I'm not my

127
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Diane Sawyer game. So all right, so it's November, so

128
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: to jump right into November, it's health. And I was

129
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: thinking how ironic it is to be interviewing a beastie

130
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: boy who probably grew up on a strong diet of

131
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: hot dogs and brass monkey about health. But we get older,

132
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: and obviously, you know, as as we get older, I

133
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: know I could say for myself, you know, health becomes

134
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: more of an issue and you have kids, and you know,

135
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: you start to start to uh you know, you get

136
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: back aches and elbows hurt. And so my first question,

137
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: and this is a true question, and I'm not trying

138
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: to be funny because I'm very strong proponent of this.

139
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna throw this out there to ask

140
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: you just the general health, especially a man over thirty eight,

141
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: which I am. You know a little bit, have you

142
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: when was the last time. Now this is a serious question.

143
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: When was the last time you got your prostate check?

144
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: That's that's a recent phenomenon for me. Okay, so that's good.

145
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: But you did get it checked. Yeah, you gotta you

146
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: gotta get a check when you hit forty because we

147
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: we need, we do need to acknowledge the health stuff.

148
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: You do need to get your prostate check. I mean,

149
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: I don't really remember the you know, you they give

150
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you something, and so you don't know what who did

151
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: you go to? Because my guy didn't give you ship.

152
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: He was talking to me like it was just another

153
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: day at the beach, like he was talking to me

154
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: through it. And I was like Dr Fishman, like just

244
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: only woman with vegetarian friends. My my question for a

245
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 1: lot of New York Jews have vegetarian friends. How's everybody feeling? Alright,

246
00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: good good good good good good good good. So the

247
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: thing about the vegetarian is, and I'll ask the questions.

248
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: You say, it's like a whole different species. Well, you know,

249
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: some of them are militant, some not my friends. I

250
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't met your vegetarian crew yet, but

251
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: they were eyeballing me in the back. But but you know,

252
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: I always say, like if the cows and the chickens

253
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: and and and and we didn't eat them, then what

254
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: the funk would they be doing with themselves? That's always

255
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: my general question is like where would they be? It'd

256
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: be like anarch and they'd be like in the streets,

257
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: so like would they be like have their own like

258
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: be a bike lane in the cow lane? And like

259
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: what would you do? You know what I'm saying, Like

260
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: it's like and it is it healthy? I don't know

261
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: if it's I mean, I grew up eating you know, stovetop,

305
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: I just realized, like, they're they're all going to get

306
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: killed so we can eat them. And then I had

307
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: like a weird it was it was weird tribute. Bro.

308
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm out, I'm out. I get out

309
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: of the chicken game now. So you started, you gave

310
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 1: up the chicken. I gave up the chicken game. And

311
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: then because I could say cold turkey, but no, I stopped. Yeah,

312
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: I stopped. Then then I was vegetarian. Is it true?

313
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: I just heard before a long time? And then yeah.

314
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: Then I had kids, and then I was like I

315
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: I need some energy to I'm gonna possibly keep up

316
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: with these two kids. Did they do they eat meat?

317
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: You know? You know it's funny. They were I raised

318
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: them vegetarian and now and up until last year and

319
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: now they're thirteen and eleven now, so up until they

320
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: were ten and twelve, they had never eaten meat. And

321
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: then they both we were traveling and they were were

322
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: like places where they had a lot of meat, and

323
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: then they were like they just really wanted to try it.

324
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 1: I was like, doesn't you guys are old enough now?

325
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:30,199
Speaker 1: You know the stats, you know the information. It's like,

326
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: if that's what you want to do, yeah, can go

327
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: for it. And they never they had never had it

328
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: in the leaven on the sneak like some bologna like sneaks.

329
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: To my knowledge, that's cool. Respect that it must be.

330
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: It might have been like a lunch room trade that

331
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: went on, I don't know, some back room cam and cheese,

332
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: tuna fish sandwiches. Um. I always think about having kids

333
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: and raised them vegetarian because I think about like my

334
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: young kids in California, which this will segue us into

335
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: the New York California of it all. Um, you could

336
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: stop at the store and get your stuff, But in

337
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: New York it's like bodegas and like you know, Deli's

338
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: and ship and like if you like you're starving, like

339
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: and you really need something and you're like uptown somewhere,

340
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: like you can't go intoto a bodega and be like,

341
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean, what are you just gonna get like a

342
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: handful of lettuce? Like I don't know what if we

343
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: need like that nurse? What mean everything in the I'm

344
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: just saying twenty years ago, like half the whole bodegaree

345
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: every like they got options. But when I was younger,

346
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: I was thinking like this, this will never work. Like

347
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: I pondered being a vegetat. I just don't feel like

348
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I have the makeup of and this way it would

349
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: be hard. You'd be hard pressed now except for certain

350
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: bodegas to find Fried Park rhymes. And that's a goddamn shame.

351
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: And there wasn't time's shame. I was guaranteed always Yeah,

352
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: but that then, but there's something there's something wrong with that,

353
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: just in the state of New York City, in the

354
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: state of New York that you can't get pork lines

355
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: when you go into a proper bodega. Yeah, I'm not

356
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: endorsing the pork or the rhine, but I culturally I agree.

357
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Now culturally I agree that should you know, miss the

358

00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: for Mike D because I'm sure many of you guys

367
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: have questions, and uh, all right, I'm gonna segue into

368
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: New York Los Angeles and then we're gonna get into

369
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: music and all that sort of stuff. So, so, what's

370
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: the difference to you of living on a day to

371
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: day basis in Los Angeles and New York and what

372
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: brought you out here to actually? Like, do you have

373
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: a loss a California driver's license? I do now me too.

374
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm ashamed to say that, because you know, people are

375
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 1: easier to get it here. That's why I broke. It's like,

376
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, New York, nobody gives a funk, Like you

377
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: can't do anything easily right in New York because I'm

378
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: getting a driver's license. Yeah, it doesn't matter. You wait

379
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: online with everybody. There's no making an appointment right here's

380
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: easy to go online. You make an appointment people, they

381
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: actually are nice to you. So it's easier to get

382
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: a driver's license here. It is true there there, it's

383
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: just there's more space, Like I know what you mean

384
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 1: by that, but but it's far just on New York

385
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: people just knew everyone, Like and you go in a

386
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: place like d m V in New York, everybody works

387
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: at DV is just angry. They've been angry for about

388
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: thirty years before you stepped into that door. That's how

389
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: long they get angry for already. So and you're not

390
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: gonna change that. Customer services, if you go to a

391
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 1: star you know, in general, New York City does not

392
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: customer service does not exist. They don't give a fuck.

393
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: Like if you go into like General, like and the

394
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: rest of the world, a Starbucks, they have a certain

395
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: disposition like, Hi, can I help you? New York. It's

396
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: like you're in a fucking gas station. Like it's like

397
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: you're pulling up late at night to get a coffee,

398
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: but it's like nine in the morning and it's a

399
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: beautiful spring day. It's just like, what do you want?

400
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: Lat how many shots? They don't give a ship? So

401
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, No, the best you gott if?

402
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: If the if the barista actually kind of looks over

403
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: after he gets to order and goes like, I got you,

404
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: fam that's about the best that's about the best you're

405
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna get. That's good, Mike d Alright, So California, Los

406
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: are you one of these people who thinks New York

407
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: isn't the same? It sucks? It's changed so much? Uh?

408
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: Like who it hears from the East Coast? Who here?

409
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: Who hears from California? Actual cow? That's that's I'm I'm

410
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: surprised because I feel like, especially l A, there's so

411
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: many transplanted I'm surprised by that. I'm surprised or just

412
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: transplanted in general. But that's good. That's good. That's California love,

413
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: that's California pride. How many people in here are from

414
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: New York City? Okay? Okay? Um? So for me, you know,

415
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: like the I called like the biggest thing that I

416
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: miss about living in New York on a day to

417
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: day basis is like let's say, uh, this goes well, right,

418
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: and we were in New York and be like, Yo,

419
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: you want to say no, let's say this goes well,

420
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: like let say gets better and better. But I'm just saying,

421
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: let's say you think it goes well, and like you're like, yo, Mike,

422
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 1: let's maybe get a drink afterwards, Like in California would

423
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, let's meet at this place on La

424
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: Sienna cans So and we'll drive there. But if we

425
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: were in New York would be like, Yo, let's go

426
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: get a drink somewhere. This one good. Let or let's

427
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: go to the boat Degan see if they have pork grinds,

428
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: and we like, let's go for a walk. See in

429
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: New York, like if you run into somebody, you can say, yeah,

430
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: let's I'm going that way. Let's go to that Starbucks

431
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: with the shitty attitude down the street and we go

432
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: for a walk in l A. Literally this happens every

433
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: few weeks. You'll pull up to a stop like, yo,

434
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: you know what's going on? Call me, and then you

435
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: drive off. But like, I just missed the walking well

436
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: and just the spontaneity of just being able to be

437
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: like wandering to find. It's like you're wandering around aimlessly.

438
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: It is great. I agree that you can't do that.

439
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: You can't have no direction here. You love to now

440
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: as you meet, like your car being the middle of

441
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: a libraya and a standstill and yeah, you're just over

442
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: and someone the rear and you would be very bad

443
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: that's the thing I missed the most about living in

444
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: in in New York City on a day to day basis.

445
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: But you think New York has changed, Like like, are

446
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: you like one of these like oh, the good old days,

447
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: like when you were running around the village, you know,

448
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: doing punk rock uh and all these horrible things that

449
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: you made songs about. Like like do you feel like

450
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 1: that element is gone from New York City or do

451
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: you feel like it's still exists and we're just older

452
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: and you know, have bad knees and ship Yeah. Yeah,

453
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: well you know I'm being an older person with a

454
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: bad knee. But that's now, you know, been medically remedied. No,

455
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: not yet. Well I don't trying. I'm I'm very confident

456
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: in my surgical staff. You look, you look so well,

457
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: thank you. No, I've look absolutely. New York has changed.

458
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: And like it's funny cause I get torn a lot,

459
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: Like I feel like, am I really now to do this?

460
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: Like I remember when it costs, you know, seventy five

461
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: cents ticket on the subway or whatever, and like I

462
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy. But New York has

463
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: fundamentally change because I think there's a lot of the

464
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: culture that could exist when we were kids in the

465
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: city because people could There's just an economic reality that

466
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: people who wherever you could be that weird person from

467
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: wherever you were from, and you were waiting the clock

468
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: was ticking till you could leave that town and moved

469
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: to New York. And you didn't have to have like

470
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 1: a trust fund, you didn't have to have a job,

471
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: you didn't have to have anything. All you had to

472
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: have was that that dream of that happening. And then

473
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: you made that dream into your reality and you go

474
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: and then you meet a million other people that are

475
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 1: doing exactly the same thing. Is that and then that

476
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: those different dreams would actually manifest, you know, like and

477
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: you didn't have to spend eight hours a day working

478
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: this job just so that you could have enough money

479
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: to write this book or to write this song or

480
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: take these photographs. You could just do it. And yeah,

481
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: you'd have to wait tables or do whatever shitty job,

482
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: but not you didn't have to have a career. Your

483
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: what your passion was could still be your career. And

484
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: that era is over in New York because it's not

485
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: an economic reality. That's a point and that that to

486
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: me is a truly sad thing. I mean, you can say, like, oh, people,

487
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 1: but you can live in Bushwick, Like, yeah, you live

488
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: in Bushwick. Guess should still is like more expensive than

489
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: any other city, right, you know, And you and I

490
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: laugh about it because you're like, yeah, you're Bushwick. You're

491
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: not that far from East New York. Do you understand,

492
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you keep going East New York, it's

493
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: not gentrified yet people. That's that's a good point. So

494
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: like the the the uh, if I could make it there,

495
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: make it anywhere sort of dream. It's it's like you

496
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: you can make it that you can, but you might

497
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: be living in Connecticut, so and so that part of

498
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: the Eastern But but I do think at the same

499
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: time people do. They're still is always you and I'll

500
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: be back there and we'll be here and you'll be

501
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: there and you'll be like, wow, there's so much ship

502
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: happening here. It's there's there's still countless ways to to

503
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: get inspired and to be inspired, and there's you know,

504
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: New York has that and it hasn't lost that, hopefully ever,

505
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: but it has not lost that. But yeah, but then

506
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: that what it has lost is that that access for

507
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: like creativity to go down. That's a that's a that's

508
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: a good point and a good take on that. Uh,

509
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: has New York changed other than you know that you

510
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: know the grit and the grime and the Times Square

511
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: because Times Square people talk about how Time Square changed,

512
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: like that wasn't a place that you would hang out

513
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: and like it wasn't dope like that was like a

514
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: that was like going to like like like a fright

515
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: night every night, like if you went there any time

516
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: of the year, like it was like, you know, like

517
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I had to go get

518
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: like well, first time I had to get like a

519
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: baseball goal, I had to go to Herman's remember remember

520
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: her There was a few mormans around the Sumason ship

521
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: you had to go to the store and whatever. So

522
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: there was one Herman's was and I would like feared

523
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: for my life, right, I was like, Okay, my money

524
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: hidden in my sock because I do not want to

525
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: get robbed while I'm going to get my baseball glove

526
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: and Herman's and that ship was real. And then I

527
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: had the glove that I was like, okay, I gotta

528
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: take it out of the bag so that people like

529
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: as soon as anybody sees me walking on forty sec

530
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Street with a Herman's bag, I'm definitely gonna get robbed, right,

531
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: But you made it back. I made it back. Glove

532
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: survived right, yeah, just like so yeah, so the whole

533
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: the whole time square of it all. I mean that

534
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: that they I think they overdid it, but I think

535
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: that there's pockets of it. And I think the people

536
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: in the energy of of the city hasn't changed. And

537
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: and like you said, I think the economics U are

538
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: are It's tough, man, It is tough. Like your dream

539
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: house in New York, Like you know, it could be

540
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: like a little like like a studio apartment that would

541
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: become like your dream. I was like, I'm want to

542
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: own a dream a dream apartment in New York. And

543
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: it's like it's a ship hall essentially, and in most

544
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: other places that you're living, and you're grateful to have it. Yeah,

545
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: and you're just grateful like I made it into this

546
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: ship box. Yeah. You being like Atlanta like a big

547
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: mansion no exactly, yeahs and real household Chi from TLC

00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: the foreclosure did They didn't, They didn't lose their money.

550
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna switch I'm gonna switch up

553
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: excited about. And and I'll just start with this, all right,

554
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: and and I want to phrase this in the most

555
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: like respectful, humble way. So this is I'm all right,

556
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: well here's some set up ship you're coming. You're about

557
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: to come with some bad no Ashton Kutcher, come on out.

558
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: No it's not no. No. I would say, I think

559
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: we everybody in this room and everybody who's a fan

560
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: of the best boys, uh who I think. I don't

561
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: think how you like. I don't think anyone could say

562
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of the Beastie Boys. Like the

563
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: Beastie Boys what you guys see, But you didn't have

564
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: to be a fan because you grew up you know

565
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like. And actually I try to

566
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 1: explain this to people a lot where I say, like,

567
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: there's like plenty of people we grew up with, like

568
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: we we might not not know you, but we had

569
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: friends and comment right, but some weeks we're having the

570
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: same like we're having the same experience in terms of

571
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: like being like these white dudes growing up in Brooklyn

572
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: and and just it was a very exciting time and

573
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: there was a lot of music we were excited about

574
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: or whatever, and so it happened that we somehow got

575
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: obsessed with it, but so did plenty of other kids.

576
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: But we happened or whatever whatever the parts were that

577
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: came together, the drive, the meeting, the people, the the ideas,

578
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: you know how things just multiple things have to happen

579
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: in order for them to connect. And it happened. But

580
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: my point is that would have been it would almost

581
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: be actually weird if you were a fan, because it's

582
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: you are like an a parallel place, do you know

583
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: what you mean? So it's different we and we're all

584
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: competitive with each other to in a way that just

585
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: as do as like dudes who are in high school,

586
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 1: you're like innately competitive. Absolutely, Like I'm sure I could

587
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: spend you know, some time with my shrink and find

588
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: out why prayers to do it procreation and there's only

589
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: so many women and we want to you know exactly,

590
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: I agree as teenage boys who want to fertilize the situation,

591
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: fertilize everything, and yeah, okay, so now that has to

592
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: do with men's health, right, that's fertilization, healthy fertiz fertilization. Boit.

593
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: Let me just let me just let me just talk

594
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: about about this what it means to me, and and

595
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: and hopefully I can particulately what the Beast Boys mean

596
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: to some of some of the people in here. Like

597
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you could ever find I know, you're

598
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: probably like when we first started, it's probably friend because

599
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: you know there's those stories about you guys getting thrown

600
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: a beard and boot off stage and when you first

601
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: first started, and is this a joke, because it's not

602
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: a joke. But when the dust settled and it was

603
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: all said and done and it's all done and said

604
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 1: rock and Roll Hall of Fame, what you guys did?

605
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: I was thinking today, like how do I articulate like like,

606
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: I think the honesty that that that the group had

607
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: the sense of humor, the taking yourself seriously but never

608
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: taking yourself too seriously, um, the eclectic nature of it,

609
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: the growth um, never being boxed in and and I think,

610
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,239
Speaker 1: you know, just to say, you know, like I I

611
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: truly you know, and I'm a fan and and uh

612
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: um when when and I'm bringing this this you know,

613
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: everybody who who's a fan of music and a fan

614
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: of of the Beasts. With the passing of Adam Yeah,

615
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: the great m c A. You know, like it felt

616
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: like devastating because you knew intuitively without knowing, that it

617
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: was the end of something that was special, Like it

618
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be like a group where you know, other

619
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: groups have had people passed, Other groups have had people

620
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: where they leave and they replace it like that niche

621
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: between the three of you guys is synonymous. So it

622
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: was like when he passed, like you knew like this

623
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: was the end of something special, Like there was not

624
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: like you know, Joe Schmo was gonna come in and

625
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 1: replace them, replace him. It just like and I think

626
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,959
Speaker 1: you know, so my question to to to get into

627
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: it is like, and I have to say, you know,

628
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: because of social media and Twitter and and all that stuff,

629
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: and we're exposed with how did you feel with the

630
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: outpouring of love the murals the m c A day, Um,

631
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: how did you feel when you realize his passing what

632
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 1: it meant to the world, Like, well, what did that

633
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: mean to you as somebody who this is in a

634
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: band made this is like I'm sure, I'm sure, you

635
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: just just like a brother, like a friend. It's like

636
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: some you can't articulate. You you went through so much stuff,

637
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: you grew up together, and then you did this fabulous

638
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: thing and you shared it with the world. So when

639
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: you saw the outpouring of love and support, Um, what

640
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 1: did that mean to you? Personally? Yeah, you know, it was,

641
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was very in a lot

642
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: of ways. It was. It was comforting in some ways

643
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: because I feel like, you know, it's like you love

644
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, it's your best friend that you grow up with,

645
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: and and not only that, like you know, he was

646
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: such an amazing person and such an innovator, and I

647
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: felt like he was my older brother in so many ways. Right,

648
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: So I was crushed, you know because I and my

649
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: being crushed is because I loved him so much and

650
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: and he met so much to me and taught me

651
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: so much. But what what was helpful or gratifying was

652
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: then seeing like other people kind of that genuinely going

653
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: through the same thing. But you know, it's obviously not

654
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: the same, like their whatever is their own relationship, but

655
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: they have their own relations ship to him, and that

656
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: one person I guess you know that thing. It's like

657
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: that's like a cool listen lesson for like us to

658
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: like show our kids, right that one person truly can

659
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: make a difference, you know, whether it's just making art

660
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: or just having fun and making stupid ship or entertaining

661
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: people or really standing up for what they believe in

662
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: or all those things combined, that you really can make

663
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: this impact and that people really have this genuine relationship

664
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 1: um with you, you know, so and and and for me,

665
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: like walking I was like I'm in New York City

666
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: at the time and walking around and it's like, you know,

667
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: on the one hand, it's kind of like it was

668
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: really difficult because it's like, you know, you're walking down

669
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: and you're kind of like walking up living in Brooklyn.

670
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm walking like not far from where y'all grew up, right,

671
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: Like that's right where I was living. And then it's

672
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: like you're walking down the street and people are like, oh,

673
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: that's like the guy whose friend has just died whatever.

674
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: But on the other hand, it's knowing that those people

675
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: had that that it meant something to them, but they

676
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: had it was special for them and that they had

677
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 1: a relationship and that it could be have an impact

678
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: like that. Um, I don't you know it's cool to

679
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: see that support. I guess yeah, I mean that's that's nice.

680
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: I I was like trepidacious to to talk. I don't know,

681
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: like but I mean I think I like, I like,

682
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: you would you just go for the elephant in the room?

683
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: Do it? No? I'm serious, like you know what I mean,

684
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: Like I think that's a good interview thinking that a

685
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: lot of people would probably you wouldn't, and you did

686
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: it in a in a personal way. All right, good

687
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 1: good good, because I just you know, like I said,

688
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, like it was like it

689
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: was like damn, like you know, this ship's you know,

690
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: you just knew like without knowing, like I like, you know,

691
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: and I don't think it wasn't ever said it wasn't

692
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: ever talked about it and read anything, or you're just like, damn,

693
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: this ship, this is this is this is not this

694
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: is no more. And and then you really kind of

695
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: look back and listen to the music and the influence

696
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: and the uniquness and and and you know, you guys

697
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: are one third of a like it was one third

698
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: each and there was no each personality was so uh

699
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: specific and you know, and and and in a way

700
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:16,240
Speaker 1: it's like, uh, um, you know, you know, even people

701
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: that are for me, like growing up with you guys,

702
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, like we're like around the same age. I

703
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: think I'm forty five and and you know, and like

704
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: seeing that it's like, you know, like damn, like that

705
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: part of my life, you know. And also just in

706
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: hip hop, it's like hip hop groups, the only and

707
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong, the only hip hop group from from

708
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: our era, from the golden era, from the platinum era,

709
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: from the greatest era that still performs is day La Soul.

710
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all we have left. They're the only

711
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: public no but public, but public I'm sorry what I mean,

712
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: never him him rock him now and Eric B and

713
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: rock him. They don't rock anymore. They don't rock him anymore,

714
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: you know. And the only one that sorry so public

715
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: enemy does before. But the only one that never broke up,

716
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: um was day La is day La. They they're kind

717
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: of like I I equate them to like they're sort

718
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: of like are grateful dead, Like they keep going it's

719
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: true and thank thank goodness, um, you know, and and

720
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: and and just going like so like just not you know.

721
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: That's actually a good analogy too, because I was there

722
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,839
Speaker 1: in their show, to their live show, like they're kind

723
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: of all encompassing, you know how they do like their

724
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: tribute hip hop part of their show. They're like the

725
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: medley of other people. I don't know they still do it,

726
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: but they did for a while, and they're as a

727
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: live routine like and may Steel comes from behind the DJ.

728
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: So you know what I mean, there's I think, uh yeah,

729
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: there there's not many people that are like they might

730
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: be the only lasting that's the only one, you know,

731
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: and and and and it was you guys, and and

732
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: and so you know, so so so speak to me

733
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: about that. Let me ask me. Let me ask you

734
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: about that hip hop today. You know, I read an

735
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 1: article like I've read things in the last week of

736
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: of younger UH artists sort of shifting on like like

737
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: saying like the you know, the like the I don't

738
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: call it the Golden error. I just call it the whatever,

739
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 1: like the old school. But I don't even call it that,

740
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: just like the good best ship, that era is overrated

741
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: and that it's you know, I mean, so for you

742
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: as a fan and a participant, as a true participant,

743
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: what do you think, like you know, Nas made the

744
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: song a few years ago, hip hop is dead and

745
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: every now and then I feel like a resurrec resurrestic

746
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: self resurrects itself. But I always think that the coffin

747
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: is still like they're like for because I never know

748
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: when it's gonna go down. So what are you? What

749
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: is your opinion of hip hop specifically right now? Like

750
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: do you listen to anything? Are you excited by anything?

751
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: Where's your head at with it? Are you demoralized? Am

752
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: I the only one that like thinks that the fucking

753
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: the day lass souls? And like does that? Am I

754
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: the only one who that bothers like? I just I

755
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes like I'm a man who what bothers you?

756
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: Because it breaks my I might love like out of

757
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: like the whatever, like you know you have kids? Are

758
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm listening to like the records that play on the radio?

759
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: Like you know, I've listened to more Drake than I

760
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: ever thought about. But no, but I don't hate not see.

761
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 1: I like Drake because you know what, Drake made a battle.

762
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: No one's when's the last time someone made a disc

763
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: record and made a disc record as a like a

764
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: top ten pop record. So I actually have a lot

765
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: of love for Drake coming out with a disc record

766
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: what you call a record or like, no, come on,

767
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: no I hit him with the pre nup. I mean

768
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: you are he didn't tread lightly. No, he did it

769
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 1: and it wasn't hit Yeah, no, I I the world

00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: with a record like that, I don't know what I

774
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: been a beast. He's bad. Did you guys ever do

775
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: it this time? Hello? There? Well no, we never did

776
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 1: we We didn't really do it. There was some um

777
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: yeah it was no. No, hit him with the prenup?

778
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: Is your wife's tour right right? Right right? All right?

779
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: So in general, so we're don't stand with so not.

780
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,879
Speaker 1: So there's moments that to me, happened in hip hop

781
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: like that like that, you know what, I'm a genuine

782
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 1: fan of, you know, I mean there's this stuff like

783
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: i'd love to see, like Kanye finally decided to release

784
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: a new record, and I hope it's great because I

785
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, he's one of the only ones

786
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,919
Speaker 1: who's like he's thrown away whatever an album a half

787
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: of material already because he's one of the only people

788
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: out there actually not alone in hip hop. It could

789
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: be I think just a music period, who's willing to

790
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: be like, you know what, I'm gonna have a high

791
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: enough standard that I don't care. I'm just gonna throw

792
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: this away. I don't care that I'm missing out on

793
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 1: what the money is, right, I'm just gonna throw it,

794
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 1: throw it away because it's not doesn't feel right to me.

795
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: And it's not that many people in music period that

796
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: are committed to the art they're willing to do that.

797
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 1: But do you think that like well, speaking of like

798
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: like the sound of it, like and and then I

799
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: want to ask you about sampling and how I feel

800
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: like the crackdown on sampling, and you guys were part

801
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: of it, and of course BIZ was a part of it.

802
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: And then you know, the rest of the artists caught

803
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: on to the fact that yo, I want to get

804
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: paid off of this ship like the sound. Like for me,

805
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: a big thing that's changed is the is the where's

806
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: the next Rick Rubin, Where's the next cue tip? Where's

807
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: the next large professor, where's the next premier? Where like

808
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: the sound the production of it is is is first

809
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: and foremost that because anybody can make beats um and

810
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: that's great in a lot of ways, just like anybody

811
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: can make movies now, like you know, you could, you know,

812
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: if you have a point of view and you you

813
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: have aspirations, you have an iPhone, you could literally like

814
00:43:58,280 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 1: one day, I think there was a film like a

815
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: few years ago, like a short film that won the

816
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: Academy Awards, shot on iPhones, and I think that's great.

817
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: But the musicality of hip hop is is it was

818
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 1: born and bred on sampling. You know, it was taking

819
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: what we don't have and and you know, artistically crafting

820
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: it into something you know that even better and more dynamic.

821
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: So like for me, like the biggest thing aside from

822
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: just I just feel like anyone could be a rapper,

823
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: and I think that that's great for anyone. But then

824
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: there should be like there should be the Anyone League

825
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: and then the Pro League, like it's like any you know,

826
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: there's like there should be some sort of like you

827
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: can't just get into the Pro League. You gotta like

828
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: go to the NBA combine or something like we gotta

829
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: see how high you could jump before you just start

830
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: becoming summer pro league. And then you know, it's cool,

831
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: we could go put the park and play three on three,

832
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: But then the big boys come. I'm gonna sit on

833
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: the side and watch, And I think that hip hop

834
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: has lost that sort of like you know, the big

835
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: boys coming to watch. So my my question, so what

836
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: do you think has changed? Do you think it has

837
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: to do with that fucking kid who created Napster and

838
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: that everything's free? No, it's true because that guy crushed

839
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,439
Speaker 1: the music business, the napster of it all, the free

840
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: music of it all, in the instantaneousness of it all,

841
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: I think changes. So in general, what do you miss

842
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: about hip hop? What are you excited about hip hop

843
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: these days? All right, so seven minutes to get that curst?

844
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: First off, that was like that was questions one. Speak

845
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: on it like I'm sweating over here. Have somewhat relax,

846
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: taking knee, whatever you gotta do. Just go ahead, Mike,

847
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you to talk. You're that guy? No, No,

848
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: So all right, So first of all, I think like

849
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: in terms of the sampling basis of hip hop, I

850
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: actually think it's I say it a slightly different because

851
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: I think that hip hop was based on taking whatever

852
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: it was that like worked because before there was sampling,

853
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: you had a DJ, so you had this essentially you

854
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: had a guy in a park with two turntables, and

855
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: so it was like it didn't matter where the music

856
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: came from. It could be Aerosmith, it could be um War,

857
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: it could be you know, Donnie Hathaway, it could be

858
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: Jazz Crusaders. It didn't matter. Like hip hop didn't have,

859
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: Like to me, that's one of the most amazing things

860
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: I think with hip hop. It didn't have like, it

861
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 1: didn't literally didn't see race because it was equal opportunity.

862
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: It would just prey upon. A DJ has to prey

863
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: upon everything that would move. Like Bambardo was one of

864
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: the best DJs I ever saw play live because he

865
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: would mix in crazy ship that should never have worked,

866
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: like what like talk about it. Like literally I remember

867
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: being at the Rocks. He's like a kid, I was

868
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: a fucking kid, and he would play like, uh, Tony Basil, oh, Mickey,

869
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: You're so fine. It was like this pop this like

870
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: glossy pop record and he somebody would make it work

871
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,399
Speaker 1: and he mixed it into like a soul sonic force

872
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: record and then mix that into like incredible bongo band

873
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: and mix that. You know, he makes it. He made

874
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: it all work. And but it's because of this. There

875
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: was no it wasn't like a self conscious thing like oh,

876
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, you know, funk with people's heads and go

877
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: with here, And it was just he just thought he genuinely,

878
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: in his whole all of his cells, he believed those

879
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: records were equally dope, you know, as simple as that,

880
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: there was equally funky to him, and and he used

881
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: them all equally. And that's how hip hop is it.

882
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: You'll use that. And so the basis at one time

883
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 1: we went from DJs to then tech. You know, I

884
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: always feel like we could go through our records and

885
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:31,399
Speaker 1: you could go through the history of me of hip hop,

886
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: and it's always informed somewhat by the technology that's available. Right,

887
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: So we went you go from like having turntables too,

888
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you can sample like a

889
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: little bit, and then you can said, that's where I

890
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: think the explosion that happened in sampling was all of

891
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: a sudden we realized and then like pe with the bomb,

892
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: Squad with Hagg Shockley with day Law when they made

893
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: three ft High and Rising is all a sudden like

894
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 1: you could buy like affordable like s nine hundred sampler

895
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: emacs like you had. There was a technology where you

896
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: could actually sample a bar of music and that was huge.

897
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, that technology enabled all this

898
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: creativity to jump to jump off from that. And people

899
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 1: like in those cases in Nation of like Nation of millions,

900
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 1: three ft High and Rising um criminal minded? You know

901
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: these with them what now are incredible? Classic? Im I

902
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: don't even call them classic hip hop albums. I think

903
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: there's classic albums classic. Yeah, like you're gonna look back

904
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: at like Americans probably won't do it, but people like

905
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 1: in white people of France are gonna look back and

906
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: be like, oh see hip hops, this is the only

907
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: American just only doing anything is not shipped in America

908
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 1: has given us. But that was a bad friendship. Probably

909
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: do baden accent. Now, keep going, this is what This

910
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: is what I care. This is what the people want

911
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: to hear. Keep talking a ship anyway, this is what

912
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 1: people want to hear, not a French people. I got

913
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,439
Speaker 1: a lot of love from the French people French friends

914
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be mad at me. You did a

915
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: great accent. It was good. Um let me ask technology

916
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: enables it and then you're right, like now you can

917
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: make movies and you make a whole record on your

918
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: phone and whatever, and so that that's where um things are.

919
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 1: And then I do think there's the part of it

920
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 1: was funny, like I remember being really I read one

921
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 1: time like when we were you're like making like check

922
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: your head or something like, you know, this is still

923
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: when you needed to like to make to edit a video,

924
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 1: you still need to have like decks and you know

925
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: these before like the film the Freaking of the know

926
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 1: that tape the tape. Yeah, that's not what I was

927
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: looking for. But yeah, that doesn't sound very convincing. Term

928
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: when you were editing. When you were you had like

929
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: video decks there and you had like the term anyway

930
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: all this like equipment and actually I had to give

931
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: you out. Yak was like the techno Whiz and we

932
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: used to that was our one of our nicknames for

933
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: him was Techno Whiz because he could hook any shipped up.

934
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: He was just like that kid like literally when he

935
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: was a kid growing up in Brooklyn, heights. He he

936
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: literally knew how to build bombs. Like he I'm probably

937
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: not supposed to say it's probably security risk, but but no,

938
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: he you know, he's just like a kid like he

939
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: reads something and then like he could build it and

940
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: and then so yeah, I remember like when we're we're

941
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: making our own videos and he like had a whole

942
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,520
Speaker 1: you know whatever, tape to tape whatever the technical term.

943
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: He had a whole set up that he knew how

944
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: to work or whatever. We were recording stuff and we

945
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 1: didn't know how to he'd be, oh, no, you just

946
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: do you just don't plug, and you get the adapter

947
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: of this. But anyway, my point is now when you're

948
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,720
Speaker 1: talking about they're not they're being the big Boy League

949
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know and Division one in Division three

950
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: or whatever you want to call it, it's like that's

951
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: I remember when we were making Check your Head, there

952
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,320
Speaker 1: was some quote from like Francis Ford Coppola where he

953
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: was like it was like video cameras were the big thing,

954
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: and he's like, you know, the world's gonna change because

955
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: he's like, now some kids are gonna come out and

956
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: he's it's gonna be a revolution because he's gonna create

957
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: an incredible movie and he doesn't need to get you know,

958
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: financing or anything. He's just gonna do it on his thing.

959
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: But then, and so I kind of thought like, Wow,

960
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: this is just gonna be amazing, Like this is gonna

961
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: be really profound. But actually what happened. What happened was

962
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: I think now you have it where everybody can make

963
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: a record, everybody can make a movie. And I don't

964
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: know why, but somehow instead of it being this like

965
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: the revolutionary thing, it's more like you got just a

966
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that isn't as great coming out and

967
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: you still have great ship. It's who did in a sense,

968
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: because you've got a lot of other stuff competing for

969
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: your ears with it or whatever, and you could just

970
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,320
Speaker 1: put it right out there, which is good. Like so

971
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 1: if you haven't bad, I think it's right put it out,

972
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: and then if it's not good, you could just put

973
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 1: another one out the next day, which really kind of

974
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: takes away from it. You put out a this record

975
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: is not good, You're just that's saying. Then you're dissing yourself.

976
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: Then you've just crushed yourself. I feel like Meek Mill

977
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: went wrong. Just to go back to Meek Mill is

978
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: that Drake hit him. Drake Drake hit him with the

979
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: back to back right, and that he said back to

980
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: back right, back to back. Say back to back now,

981
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 1: Meek Mill, like say you first pitch you swing, you miss, Okay,

982
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: next day, come with the back to back like and

983
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: then everybody will forget about the pitch you missed. That's

984
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: where I think he funked up. And he should have

985
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: called Mike Rap, because Mike Rap would have been like,

986
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 1: get your ship together today, get your coffee, and come

987
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: back the next day and no one cares that your

988
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: first one was whack. He should That's what I would

989
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: have say, no, no, no, he's and then you can

990
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: then to come by heat. I think he just I

991
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I think too many people get everybody. Everybody's

992
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: felt like, okay, Meek Mills is done. Now. He should

993
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: have came back. He could have came back the next

994
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: day with that ship, and he didn't. And that's why

995
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: I think he went past. Now. He got hit with

996
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: the pre nup. He got hit with the pre nup.

997
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: He got hit hard, all right. So the instantaneousness. Let

998
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,919
Speaker 1: me ask you a question, Meek Mill, we got beef

999
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 1: with Meek Mill, Drake. Everybody's coming for giving love to Drake.

1000
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: We're giving love to Drake, and I'm saying for next

1001
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: time for Meek Mill, just swing again. Fuck it, you

1002
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: missed the first pitch, No one's looking. Just swing again.

1003
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: You could just put it out fifteen seconds on Instagram.

1004
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: You could just free style blah blah blah blah blah

1005
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: and then you're good. But he didn't. You let me

1006
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: ask you a question. So, speaking about the the instantaneousness

1007
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: and the Instagram of it all, when was the first

1008
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: time you heard yourself on the radio and what was

1009
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: that moment and that that that that mountaintop moment, Like

1010
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: for you, do you remember the first time you heard

1011
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: yourself on the radio and what was it? And just

1012
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: break it down to me. Well, I do, And it's

1013
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: not that it was it's more like a mole hill

1014
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: wasn't really a mountaintop. But no, it was before when

1015
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: we were we were a hardcore band, before we were

1016
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: a hip hop group or a rap group. Yes, we

1017
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: we were like punk rock kids from New York City.

1018
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: And then we made a hardcore seven inch called pollywog

1019
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: stu e P. And then before it even came out.

1020
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: There was like an n y U. There was a

1021
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: show like an Hour a week or whatever that that

1022
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: um played hard like this one dude, Tim Summers went

1023
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: to n y U and he played hardcore and he

1024
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: yelled like a fucking crazy person like that was whatever anyway,

1025
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: and he played before she came out. He played a song.

1026
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 1: I think it's called a grade on Mojori played a

1027
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: song on his show, and I would listen to the

1028
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: show every week, the same way that I then went

1029
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,320
Speaker 1: on to listen to mixed like that. I listened to

1030
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: like um Zulu Beat Show a week or Mr Magic

1031
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: Mr Magic or you know Red Alert whatever how you

1032
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: listen to those shows every week. But before I would

1033
00:55:06,560 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 1: listen to the rap shows every week, I was listening

1034
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: to the hardcore show. And so he played our song

1035
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: and I was like what, you know, like I almost

1036
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: lost it in my bedroom like listening like I was

1037
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: like what, But it's funny because it's you know, it's

1038
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,840
Speaker 1: probably all of like twelve people literally right that heard it,

1039
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 1: literally that listened to that. But did you know it

1040
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 1: was coming? Did you hear? Like did you know that

1041
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: the radio station had the record? No? I didn't I

1042
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: mean he got it. It turned out from so that

1043
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: really is a mole Hill moment, like you just like

1044
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: it's like kind of just like that. But but it was,

1045
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: but it was, it was both. It was a mountain

1046
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: animal five because it was it was probably all of

1047
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: twelve people. Didn't change our world, It didn't change our

1048
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: relationship as a band to anybody, didn't change who we were.

1049
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: But for me, it was a big time deal, a

1050
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: big time ship, you know like that to have that happen.

1051
00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,879
Speaker 1: And then what about beast music? When was the first

1052
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: your best music on the radio? No, that that was

1053
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 1: PC Boys, but then when we were hardcore band. But

1054
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 1: but but this was this was with another It was four.

Speaker 1: that was the group then and then eventually John left

1062
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: and Adam joined and then it just became the three

1063
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 1: of us whatever. But yeah, and I don't remember trying

1064
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 1: to remember like with hip hop like hearing, I just

1065
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: remember like hold it now that being like I couldn't

1066
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: believe that I would actually hear like a car driving by.

1067
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: Like I don't remember like a specific like radio show

1068
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: or anything hearing it, but I remember that was a

1069

00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: had to perform at every beast Boy show. Was there

1128
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,800
Speaker 1: one song that you were like fuck or that as

1129
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: a group, you guys, all right, you thought about not

1130
00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: performing and you're like, all right, but we gotta do it.

1131
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,200
Speaker 1: What was the one sort of okay, well, you know,

1132
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: we gotta do it. I just remember specifically, it's I'm

1133
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of doing the thing where you answer the question

1134
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: by not answering the question. But no, there was so

1135
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: brass Monkey, which is still like very I remember we

1136
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: we like it, had stopped playing the song for a

1137
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: while because we're just like, this is just stupid. It's

1138
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 1: about a drink. We don't We're like, who we were

1139
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: like grown people, we don't drink. We drank that when

1140
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: we were like eighteen, Like what are we doing. We

1141
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: can't touring around the world talking about drinking. Brass Monkey

1142
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 1: is growing ass dudes, Like it's bad luck. But then

1143
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 1: we're like, we're in We're in Miami. I was talking

1144
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: with a friend about this recently because he was there

1145
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: and we're in Miami. We're like, okay, Miami, like basically

1146
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: like like this Brass Monkey is definitely the biggest record

1147
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: in history in Miami. We just sort of decided this

1148
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 1: in our minds, like I don't I don't know. There

1149
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: was no there was no data to support this. We

1150
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: had decided at that and so we're like, we're definitely

1151
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna play the song tonight, fuck it because this

1152
01:01:04,800 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: ship is We're just gonna kill they need. This is

1153
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the Miami anthem, right, they live for this ship, right.

1154
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: And then we played it and they were kind of

1155
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: like a school like they were like and not only that,

1156
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: we basically it was a struggle. We barely remember. I

1157
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 1: think we forgot more words than we remember. We hadn't

1158
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: done it so long. But then then actually did still

1159
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 1: make it made a comeback though later on we got

1160
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: more competent with it. We learned then we were like,

1161
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna learn this ship and we're gonna

1162
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: make it work. It was like you know what things

1163
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: when you're a performer, like and and something doesn't quite

1164
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: work like you probably if any rational person would turn

1165
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 1: their back on and be like, all right, that didn't work,

1166
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something else, but I feel like it's

1167
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 1: a performer. There's something where you're just like, no, I'm

1168
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: gonna you just keep you keep going back to it

1169
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: you locked and loading. We're like, we're gonna all right,

1170
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: this is definitely it's gonna next city, when we get

1171
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to Baltimore, this is gonna blow blow the fun up.

1172
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: And you kept going, we did no, and then it

1173
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,959
Speaker 1: came around. I'm telling you that eventually it worked alright,

1174
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: mixed Master Mike dialed that ship in mixed in some

1175
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Planet rock or some months and I was gonna ask

1176
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: you that, and like, eventually it killed you. Guys would

1177
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 1: perform and rock under other beats, which I don't understand

1178
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 1: why more people don't do so, Like when you're performing

1179
01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: slow and low, you would take whatever track and rock under.

1180
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: It was that because you get bored of the songs.

1181
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 1: To get to make it fresh for the fans, make

1182
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: it exciting, you know what I'm talking about. For that,

1183
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: it was definitely we wanted wanted to make it fresh, right,

1184
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: And that's why we loved having Mike is our DJ,

1185
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: and actually made a switch up to have Mike be

1186
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: r DJ because he was incredible and incredibly talented. He

1187
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 1: would make it. He'd make it more exciting for us,

1188
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: which I think then in turn hopefully made it more

1189
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: exciting for the audience to watch, you know what I mean,

1190
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: because we'd be excited. It's not like it's not like

1191
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: we're just standing like, okay, we're here in the instrumental

1192
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:08,040
Speaker 1: for the one millionth time of Paul Revere. He's like

1193
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: making something happened, so you know, it's keeping whatever. We

1194
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 1: have to literally be on our toes, on our you know,

1195
01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know what beat was coming. No, we had

1196
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:19,919
Speaker 1: to be on your He would keep us on game,

1197
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: you know what I mean by doing that? Which I think, Yeah,

1198
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: all right, here's a question in your prime m c A,

1199
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Mike d ad Rock are going to battle each other?

1200
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: Who wins the battle? Out of the three? You like,

1201
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: who is the best just lyricists freestyle? Like if you

1202
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 1: guys are gonna battle each other? Yeah, no, I agree,

1203
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: I think m c A. Probably I don't know who

1204
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: said that, but I'm gonna agree because he had like

1205
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: Ad Rock and I could right certainly as well as him,

1206
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: but he had you know, he was he was like

1207
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: a better m c I'm gonna say, Okay, he was

1208
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 1: a better like he would like when he like I remember,

1209
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: out of the three of us, like in the very beginning,

1210
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: when we were just memorized every record. He was a

1211
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,479
Speaker 1: guy who could really he could nail it every time,

1212
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: like kid, memorize that record and really like nail it.

1213
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Adam and I would memorize a record and be able

1214
01:04:10,800 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: to pull it off, but he would kind of next

1215
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: level it. Okay, the end of the world comes and

1216
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 1: you're able to leave one Beasti Boy record behind for

1217
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: the next civilization? Which one? You can only leave one?

1218
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: And you want that? You want? Which? Which record? Collectively?

1219
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: Would you like? Were? You can answer yourself, but it

1220
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But you you just saying, listen, the end

1221
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: of the world, they say you get to leave one

1222
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: fucking Beastly Boy record for the next group of people.

1223
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,320

1226
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. So the question is here is like this,

1227
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: what would you say instead of the end of the

1228
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,960

1230
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,439

1231
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: you say the people's choice favorite Beastie Boyd record. I

1232
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 1: know it's like me to answer for the people. See,

1233
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,960

Speaker 1: pro smoking benefit for cigarettes, like at the time, because

1357
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: are you serious, it's the beginning of like when cigarettes

1358
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: were kind of getting outlawed in California. Okay, okay, you know,

1359
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: and so I mean he was really ahead of his time. Honestly, Um,

1360
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it ever got off the ground. No, no, no,

1361
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: that's what we do. Do you remember who else? Is

01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:53,440
Speaker 1: there a couple other people that that were at this party? Likeline,

01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,560
Speaker 1: I walked by, like, there's some dude playing piano in

Speaker 1: it was, Yeah, that was some real Beverly Hills ship.

1368
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: When when I say, I'm just right, because we're getting

1369
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: close to being out of time, Although you know, I

1370
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 1: think I could keep on going. I have so many

1371
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: questions for you, Mike. When I say, uh, craziest tour story,

1372
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: what's the first thing that comes to your mind of

1373
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the craziest tour story? Uh, that you saw firsthand or experience,

1374
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: or that you might have been the ringleader of. Why

1375
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: am I getting out? I'm just no, I didn't know. Listen, listen,

1376
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: it's the statue of limitations is up, Mike. You're fradulating falsifications. No,

1377
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,760
Speaker 1: you're good, You're good, You're good, Think you're fine. Don't worry,

1378
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 1: don't worry, don't worry. I'm checked with the lawyers. You're

1379
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:53,280
Speaker 1: my attorney. Now, I got you. So when I say,

1380
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,680
Speaker 1: when I say craziest tour story, what's the first one

1381
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: that pops up into your head? Because you guys were

1382
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 1: doing it when it was like you could do ship like.

1383
01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: There wasn't surveillance cameras, there wasn't cell phones, like you

1384
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: could really get fucking like you could really go like

1385
01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: rock and roll, but it was hip hop. So what's

1386
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: the first thing that comes on your mind. I'm not

1387
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: even gonna take this bait. This is just you that

1388
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 1: are people disappointed by that? No, I mean, you had

1389
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:20,439
Speaker 1: to have been asked that. That's not that's not even

1390
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: a great questions a lot of al right, I'll move on,

1391
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,479
Speaker 1: all right, you want to answer it. No, not really.

1392
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of ship that but I

1393
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: think you actually honed it on right, it's shore. I

1394
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,880
Speaker 1: didn't think about it that way, like you really didn't

1395
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: have Now it's like whatever you but actually similar to that,

1396
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: you know what, one of the craziest things that did

1397
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,560
Speaker 1: happen to us was just and it wasn't It was

1398
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: interesting because we there was there was stuff that did happen,

1399
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: and then there was stuff how we would talk about

1400
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: what had happened, and we had these things. We were

1401
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:56,200
Speaker 1: on tour in here in the States, and then these

1402
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: um British journalists were coming as we were about to

1403
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: go tour your up with Rundy m C. And so

1404
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: these British journalists come to like, you know, do their

1405
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:07,640
Speaker 1: pieces that are gonna come out in advance of like

1406
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: when we go on tour there, and so we had

1407
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: like the crazy ship that was happening, and we were

1408
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 1: we were playing in the South at the time, and

1409
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 1: we're like literally we had towns we were trying to

1410
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: ban us from going there. So I mean, I know

1411
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:24,519
Speaker 1: that's not like it like you wanted some crazy thing

1412
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: about filling the like the bathroom up with water all

1413
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 1: the way and whatever. But um, but but that was like,

1414
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:37,759
Speaker 1: you know, it's like more surreal. And did the bathroom

1415
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: just say a public enemy? Was nobody? Actually? I mean

1416
01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 1: it kind of only happened, but we tried to do it. No,

1417
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: we but that's what I mean. We kind of turned

1418
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,719
Speaker 1: it into like a bigger story. That's what happened. Story

1419
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: I got to be a little bit bigger reality. The

1420
01:14:57,240 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 1: reality is one thing and then okay, legend is another.

1421
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:03,120
Speaker 1: Oh so you guys anyway, But that's why I say

1422
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: it became surreal because we ended up in the South

1423
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 1: and literally not being being told like well you can't

1424
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: perform here or whatever because based on ship that we

1425
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: had done. And then there were like these journalists there

1426
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:19,519
Speaker 1: and then they reported that all back and then it

1427
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 1: was like by the time we got to England was

1428
01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:23,320
Speaker 1: like the biggest thing. So it was good for business.

1429
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:27,599
Speaker 1: Ever was actually bad. It was good. It was bad

1430
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 1: good bad not bad meaning bad but bad meaning bad yeah. Bad. Yeah,

1431
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,400
Speaker 1: it kind of turned into bad being bad yeah, alright, alright,

1432
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: that's the script, you know, just flipped on us like that.

1433
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,600
Speaker 1: That's fair enough. Um, if if on this island that

1434
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 1: you're on, you only get to bring one of these

1435
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 1: tougher than leather or cross groove, crush groove, okay, fair

1436
01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: enough is I don't know? Yeah, crush group. I think

1437
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: I could watch before I could watch Okay, no, no

1438
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:02,560
Speaker 1: disrespect other one, no disrespect. What was it like for you?

1439
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: And then when those movies came out? You like, because

1440
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: you were from New York, you love hip hop, but

1441
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:11,040
Speaker 1: then you were actually also you were probably already in

1442
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: the acting game, right, I wasn't in the acting game.

1443
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the acting game. No, not because I

1444
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 1: wasn't in the acting game. What years did those come out? Like? Eighties?

1445
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 1: Was early? Like eight? Yeah, I feel like eighties six six,

1446
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: And I wasn't ship. I was in the Hoop Dreams game.

1447
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: I thought I was gonna be the NBA, right yeah,

1448
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, like I'm gonna be the

1449
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 1: next Larry Bird game. That was my fucking game. And

1450
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: that didn't happen, didn't even come close to happen. No,

1451
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 1: But that's how I conder That's how I first heard

1452
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 1: of you, because everybody would be like, oh, yeah, no,

1453
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: there's just kid Mike records. Was they were talking about,

1454
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: uh Pete nice right, you know, Oh there's a kid

1455
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:53,240

01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: you yea, And they're like, oh no, he's he's got

1457
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: he's legit fucking you know how the story can get

1458
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: big or as it goes along. That was move with

1459
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: the Basketball all right, No, but but you know, I

1460
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 1: haven't watched those them, but I know what one of

1461
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 1: them because I'm obsessed the Treacherous three Coolmo D because

1462
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 1: you know we're talking about the battles. I'm obsessed with

1463
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: trying to make a short film out of when Coolmo

1464
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:24,839
Speaker 1: D battled Busy Be And that would be incredible recreating that. Okay,

1465
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:27,360
Speaker 1: this is the obligatory question I have to ask any

1466
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: any rapper and any m C top five m C

1467
01:17:30,320 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: s if you had to say, you know, I know

1468
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 1: it's interchangeable, it could change, you know, in an hour

1469
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,720
Speaker 1: from now. So right now, if you had to say

1470
01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: the top five and not in any order, just the

1471
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: top five, who would you say just as MC like,

1472
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: not as necessarily as a record maker, but just as

1473
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: an m C exact massive and why you're at it, like,

1474
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: is there a difference between being an m C and

1475
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: a rapper? You you know, like last time, but I'm

1476
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:56,839
Speaker 1: just gonna go I guess I'm gonna go more by rappings.

1477
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: I feel like MC is that's where you getting to,

1478
01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: like say the como d B spe thing busy Bee

1479
01:18:02,880 --> 01:18:04,720
Speaker 1: is not a great rapper, but he's an incredible m

1480
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 1: C right because in that battle he sustains because he's

1481
01:18:09,400 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: in a sense of he's actually the superior entertainer. Komo

1482
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 1: d is the better rapper in the battle. He's the better,

1483
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 1: he's the better host with the most, he's the better

1484
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: like keeping the party moving. And then because to me,

1485
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: as as a rapper, slays him, destroyed him, destroys him

1486
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 1: on that and to me that's bobo shit on hold.

1487
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: He wrecks him and in his face. That's why to me,

1488
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: that's the best battle. Because see that's what maybe I think,

1489
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: see like Drake Meat Mills, Las Vegas, get the check

1490
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:48,640
Speaker 1: one night, one night only, whoever, whoever, whoever keeps the

1491
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 1: rocking walks away with that bag of cash. The thing

1492
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: with me, we're the promoters. We're putting the offer that ship.

1493
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: Let's do it. That's that's what I'm talking. I know

1494
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: we don't have the money to put find the fucking money.

1495
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: We'll find him money, Tray, we got you. But just

1496
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 1: just to just to end the reason why I think

1497
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: that battle is the the quintessential battle and the big

1498
01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 1: bang theory of battles is because busy Bee didn't know

1499
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 1: what was coming at him. And they're they're up on stage,

1500
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: they're rhyming, and then Kumo D Like it's like Busy

1501
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 1: Bee was doing like, you know, jumping Jackson, Kumo D

1502
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 1: came and did some tae kwon do shi and like

1503
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,719
Speaker 1: he's like, what the funk is that right in his face?

1504
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: And that was the end of that. So okay, top

1505
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 1: five m c s want me go first, and then

1506
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:33,720
Speaker 1: you could go one. No, no, I got you got

1507
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:36,719
Speaker 1: these all right. I gotta say, rock him just because

1508
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: those records came out and I got a pure MC

1509
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,000
Speaker 1: level like he was able to sustain as a solo

1510
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,160
Speaker 1: m C on a record like I feel like nobody

1511
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: before him had. Um, I'm gonna I have to say now,

1512
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you know, even though he's got four eight

1513
01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: four million dollars more than me. I'm gonna say jay

1514
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:59,760
Speaker 1: Z you know, because he's five, he's and he's just

1515
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: get million dollars by by being not good. Yeah, I

1516
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,519
Speaker 1: don't know really where I came up with my figure,

1517
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:11,560
Speaker 1: my financial data, but it's good. I don't Yeah, I

1518
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: don't know what Forbes says, but it's he's got a

1519
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: lot more money than you, and he's got even more

1520
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: money than me. He's got a lot of money. But

1521
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 1: the reality is you don't get to be the top

1522
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: of the top in something that's so special and so

1523
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,720
Speaker 1: unique by you know, just you know, having a pretty face,

1524
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: which he doesn't no disrespect, I'm not no, I'm just

1525
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 1: saying it's not He's not up there, you know, like

1526
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: you know he he's that guy. He's the fucking dude.

1527
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: He's the Jordan's recording. But if I'm gonna say j

1528
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: then I kind of feel like I have to say Biggie,

1529
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 1: because then if Jay's a Jordan's then it's like bigg

1530
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:52,840
Speaker 1: He's like Oscar Roberts. I don't know what where is no,

1531
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: because he's not you know what I mean, it's more fundamental.

1532
01:20:55,479 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: But he had hip hop, but but J is fun,

1533
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:02,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? He was fundamental to like

1534
01:21:02,720 --> 01:21:05,960
Speaker 1: some of the evolution of the game, but not I

1535
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:10,760
Speaker 1: don't know. Okay, so you got Biggie Jay Z Rock Kim.

1536
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: We got two more and it's interchangeable. Don't feel guilty

1537
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 1: on the car right home, No, because it's inevitable in

1538
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: the car. I don't even like ship. Why didn't I say,

1539
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, like you're gonna leave somebody out and then

1540
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: we're gonna have more beat. I love Bust of Rhymes,

1541
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna say Buster. I know Buster, like

1542
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: your body, Bust is incredible, But I just I don't know.

1543
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: He's pretty fucking overlooked as far as like you. That's

1544
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:35,000
Speaker 1: a good overlooked, you know what I'm saying that most

1545
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 1: people wouldn't put him in their top five. And when

1546
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,480
Speaker 1: you when you see his catalog and his rhyme styles

1547
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: and and the different flows that he's had over the years,

1548
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:47,679
Speaker 1: and his live performance, when you hear all those live

1549
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 1: flows done and you can hear every word, You're like,

1550
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: this motherfucker is really good, really really really good. So

1551
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't argue with Bust of Rhymes. Are you gonna

1552
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: put him on your list him, I'm hondering and palms

1553
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: considering him, weighing my options. You know that's four, Um,

1554
01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: that's four. You gotta hit me with a cover and

1555
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: hit me with the prenup. I'll go nasty, nas. I'm

1556
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna try to go different than your list. Nas. You

1557
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,680
Speaker 1: gotta go nas see see, I see, that's what I

1558
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:21,040
Speaker 1: didn't think of. Nothing like that. Cass One was weighing

1559
01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:25,080
Speaker 1: caress one, but then it's the body. But it's almost

1560
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 1: But it's more like with karras One. He was a

1561
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: great record maker, like and I'm not faulting him at

1562
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,839
Speaker 1: all as an MC, but it wasn't like his achievement

1563
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: was based on what he said, not necessarily how he

1564
01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: said it. You know, rock him fish is my favorite

1565
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,479
Speaker 1: dish what like you know what I mean, But it's

1566
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:47,600
Speaker 1: he sold the ship out of his lyric absolutely. Ll

1567
01:22:47,800 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 1: cool Ja gets forgotten. No, I was. I'm just as

1568
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: far as the discussion. I mean, LLL you were around

1569
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,560
Speaker 1: for that and the death. I mean, l L was

1570
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: a fucking I mean, actually I would even go I'm

1571
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: trying to if anybody wants to show I want to

1572
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: go real left field here. What about Ray Kwon? He's

1573
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know what. But I had to put

1574
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 1: Ghosts maybe before I put Yeah, I have to put

1575
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: Ghosts one woo. Yeah, I know because I put him on.

1576
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:23,559
Speaker 1: But then i'd like, I took him off the board

1577
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: and I put because if there's one Cuban Links is dope,

1578
01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: but liquid Swords. If I had to pick one who

Speaker 1: T cast for mattresses. We love them all right? Question?

1612
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,880
Speaker 1: Ye so already step up to the mic. I know

1613
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: your answered because you already mentioned it. You just spoke

1614
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: on thirty six Chambers, Midnight Marauders and thirty six Chambers

1615
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 1: came out on this date. In which is a better album?

1616
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: And why ship better album? That's a hard question. It

1617
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,439
Speaker 1: was ago and they really both came out of the

1618
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: same day. Can you believe that? Radically different records? So

1619
01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: the energy is so different, Like one record was like

1620
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 1: you put it on and people just started would punch

1621
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 1: somebody in the face. The other theany like dance around

1622
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:01,960
Speaker 1: and have a good time. Really, what do you what

1623
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:06,719
Speaker 1: do you want to do? That's a tough question. Valid

1624
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: expressions of energy, extremely valid. That's that's a hard question. Answer,

1625
01:26:13,640 --> 01:26:15,800
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough question. That's a tough I mean,

1626
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: like I agree that that's like really picking. Uh, that's

1627
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:23,439
Speaker 1: a tough question. The energy is very different. Um, the

1628
01:26:23,560 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: craftsmanship is impeccable. The production, See that's the thing, the

1629
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 1: production on those albums. So I feel stupid, Well, now

1630
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:33,439
Speaker 1: you know what I almost put and in the thirty

1631
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: six Chambers could almost be a top five album of

1632
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:37,439
Speaker 1: all time, But I feel like I burned out on it.

1633
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 1: On the desert island, because that wouldn't the whole time.

1634
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 1: I'm not looking like to go run around the island

1635
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 1: like Glan ain't nothing to fund. No, that's that's a

1636
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: good point. But that's a couple of those moments. But no,

1637
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, and then then there's some radical production. Any

1638
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 1: other questions, what's your name? Please, Mike Young, how you doing? Okay?

1639
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: Questions getting his drink on, he's got a question, he's

1640
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 1: got like three slow sipping Uh, Mike Dy, what was

1641
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: the was there one transitional moment in your career where

1642
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:10,479
Speaker 1: you knew, oh shit, everything is changing, Like what was

1643
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: the one moment for the beastis when you just knew,

1644
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: oh we're on a trajectory and it's not stopping. Was

1645
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: there one moment um? Good question? You know, it's probably

1646
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 1: probably like what I was speaking on earlier. I think

1647
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: like when when we would hear there was something about

1648
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: holding now, like there were other moments we had like that,

1649
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:32,639
Speaker 1: but but when holding out happened, then it was like real,

1650
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:36,160

1669
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:37,960
Speaker 1: that that's not actually my question. Um My, my questions

1670
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:39,320
Speaker 1: you got. You know, it was just kind of a

1671
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,560
Speaker 1: trip to hear you talking about Q Tip and and

1672
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:43,560
Speaker 1: Day Last Soul and and as a man of a

1673
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,720
Speaker 1: certain age and and just kind of remembering that at

1674
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 1: that time, Um, that was very like they just kind

1675
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:53,160
Speaker 1: of like cerebral and socially conscious hip hop And and

1676
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 1: who do you see is carrying on that torch today?

1677
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Like from that, I mean, they're so many little slices

1678
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:04,200
Speaker 1: of wrapping hip hop, but like like those guys, it's

1679
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: just there was just something different going on there, Like

1680
01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: like who do you see moving forward with that mantle?

1681
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Well, I don't. I don't think

1682
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,120
Speaker 1: you have any Like it was very special, like the

1683
01:29:16,160 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: whole when you had native tongues and you had like

1684
01:29:18,439 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: literally was like a community, and I think it was

1685
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: empowering talk all of them and kind of until it fractured,

1686
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 1: like you know, like like the fact that Q Tip

1687
01:29:27,520 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 1: got to get on by getting on the Jungle Brothers

1688
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 1: record and then you know, eventually like as friends they

1689
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:35,560
Speaker 1: blew up. But you know what I mean, Like I

1690
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 1: think that helped. There was a lot of power in

1691
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: the community. And I don't think you eat you know,

1692
01:29:41,080 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: there's no analogous thing. You know. Then you had day

1693
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 1: La Whatever, Money Love, Latifa, Latifa Tribe, Jungle Brothers leaders

1694
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:57,840
Speaker 1: in New school, you know, so it was he wasn't

1695
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:00,080
Speaker 1: really really know he was. I did make a be

1696
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:04,040
Speaker 1: about a Trump request, But I mean, I just if

1697
01:30:04,040 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 1: I had to think one artist, I don't know, I

1698
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 1: would have to I'm gonna have to say, actually, well,

1699
01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go my obvious answer is gonna be Kanye,

1700
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: because he's the only one I feel like making innovative records.

1701
01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,560
Speaker 1: I know he was like enough about Kanye or with

1702
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 1: the political political well, I didn't feel with tribe with

1703
01:30:24,360 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: with with I don't know when Native talks. I don't

1704
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: even feel it was so much political. It was more

1705
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:30,720
Speaker 1: like social, you know what I mean. I mean, I

1706
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: guess it was like there was a consciousness aspect and

1707
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: it was and they were being upfront about being smart.

1708
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:40,880
Speaker 1: They they weren't trying to like hide that or hide

1709
01:30:40,920 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: behind being tough. Right. Um. I think Kendrick his his

1710
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: last album very point. I mean he was. I didn't

1711
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: even the first. I think first album is brilliant songs

1712
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:57,920
Speaker 1: and brilliant songwriting. I mean, Kendrick, there's bold statements on that.

1713
01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:00,080
Speaker 1: On this new album. It's it's I wouldn't give what

1714
01:31:00,200 --> 01:31:02,920
Speaker 1: even the first don't don't come on Mike, don't hate

1715
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: the first albums incredible, No, I agree, you know, just

1716
01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 1: I know it was the bigger record whatever, but it

1717
01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,160
Speaker 1: has anyway. But I just agree with I agree with

1718
01:31:11,240 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 1: you on Kendrick, like he's he's artistic, he's going to

1719
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: be around and he's making real records with something to say.

1720
01:31:19,360 --> 01:31:22,360
Speaker 1: I agree, I had real albums. They're not just like

1721
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: a couple of songs, right, He's putting out a record

1722
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 1: with the whole beginning, middle, and end in in a

1723
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:31,960
Speaker 1: in a point of view. Okay, we'll do the next next, Yeah,

1724
01:31:31,960 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 1: go ahead, ahead. Question it's got a lazy eye. Don't

1725
01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:37,400
Speaker 1: worry about it. You're like totally totally switching the subjects

1726
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 1: because I have like about a thousand music questions. I'd

1727
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 1: love to ask the both get one. But I want

1728
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:44,679
Speaker 1: to know something completely different. You said that you had

1729
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:49,320
Speaker 1: two children around the ages of mine, So I'm curious

1730
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: as to what you think about society and kids are

1731
01:31:52,520 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: youth right now? Are they? Do you feel that they're

1732
01:31:56,200 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: in a dangerous society? Dangerous society? I don't know. First off,

1733
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:06,840
Speaker 1: we should be asking them that, not us, But um,

1734
01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:10,679
Speaker 1: I would say, but I don't know. It was interesting

1735
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:14,599
Speaker 1: I was having this whole conversation today that it's interesting,

1736
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 1: like with there's a weird thing that happens. I noticed,

1737
01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 1: like I think, now I know this happens when you

1738
01:32:22,000 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: have like I don't know if you're like your kids

1739
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 1: play like a wall or a bit. So my kids

1740
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:30,360
Speaker 1: went through a moment where they were really doing that

1741
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot. And it's like kids would come up that

1742
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: are really good at something gets so they're treated like superstars.

1743
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:41,600
Speaker 1: Like when we were growing up, there was no you

1744
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,080
Speaker 1: could be good at something. It wasn't like, you know

1745
01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 1: what I mean, nobody you were. You were still just

1747
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 1: to work hard, you still to take the trash out.

1748
01:32:52,600 --> 01:32:54,840

1799
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:34,479
Speaker 1: different records with other um people, which I'm happy to

1800
01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: do because yeah, there's still like you'll get an idea.

1801
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:40,599
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's two different works, two different ways.

1802
01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:42,640
Speaker 1: There's like ideas that just come to you or or

1803
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:45,800
Speaker 1: just an ambition you might have of something you want

1804
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:48,040
Speaker 1: to make, And that's still definitely happens to me. But

1805
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't I'm also not in the cycle of like

1806
01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, when we were a band and we're active,

1807
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 1: it's like you have to just show up and write.

1808
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 1: And so you know, like whether it's whether it's writing

1809
01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 1: rhymes or just being you know, on game. In terms

1810
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 1: of being able to do that, you know, I think

1811
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 1: there's that facet too, and the only way to do

1812
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:07,920
Speaker 1: that of being on game that way, it's like anything,

1813
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:14,240
Speaker 1: you just gotta practice. Alan Averson might disagree, but practice

1814
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 1: practice right rhymes. We're talking about right rhymes. Got another

Speaker 1: would have been. I don't know what the funk that.

1845
01:38:02,960 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: That's hard to the stomach. I lived in a building

1846
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:07,680
Speaker 1: that the guy offered me, he said you could buy

1847
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:09,680

1848
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 1: trying to take it. And now I walked by the building,

1849
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's so stupid. It was so dumb, so dumb,

1850
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:18,120
Speaker 1: so young and so dumb. That's the thing is that

1851
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 1: when you're young, you're just so dumb. So any advice

1852
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 1: that I may or may not have gotten or given myself,

1853
01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:26,400
Speaker 1: I thought I knew better, and I fucked it up.

1854
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: So dumb. That's so dumb. That's the thing about making

1855
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 1: money when you're young is your dumbest shit. It was

1856
01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:39,880
Speaker 1: so dumb. Okay, what would be the advice, Mike? You know,

Speaker 1: in this interview, Like, I don't feel like jay Z

1861
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 1: was never that dumb. No, like he even always somehow

1862
01:38:53,280 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: he always would have bought the building. Yes, I agree,

1863
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,920

01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm passing. All right, one more question and we're gonna

1873
01:39:31,360 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 1: shut it down. Hello Mike, Hello Mike. Okay, here's my

1874
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:38,839
Speaker 1: question for you. In your history of recording, writing, recording,

1875
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 1: being in the studio, what moments still stand out in

1876
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 1: your mind? For example, all of us have moments in

1877
01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:47,639
Speaker 1: our lives that we remember that that incident from twenty

1878
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: years ago sticks in our mind, what certain moments, what

1879
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 1: song did one of the other people you work with

1880
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:54,680
Speaker 1: bring out that you just sat back and said, oh

1881
01:39:54,760 --> 01:39:58,280
Speaker 1: my god, that's amazing. What anyone or how many of them?

1882
01:39:59,840 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 1: I O? Well, I mean there's first off, I have

1883
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:06,760
Speaker 1: to commend you on now Mike and I were, you know,

1884
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 1: we just go on and we talk and we we

1885
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: ramble a little bit. You've got, sir, a professional sounding

1886
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: broadcast voice. I just I want to encourage you to

1887
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:22,920
Speaker 1: get into a career voiceover. Put the camera down. I'm

1888
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:26,160
Speaker 1: just saying me, you get my vote. I think voiceover

1889
01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: be It's basic, but not overwhelming. It's a very clear,

1890
01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of like it's no real accent attached.

1891
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: It could be I can want to see him on camera.

1892
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 1: You're saying you're limiting him to just voice of work.

1893
01:40:42,240 --> 01:40:44,680
Speaker 1: Like he's got a good haircut, he's well dressed, like

1894
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:46,960
Speaker 1: this could be a fucking reporter like this guy, like

1895
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,240
Speaker 1: he could do the whole thing. I listen. As soon

1896
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:51,599
Speaker 1: as we're done with Drake and make and Meek Mills,

1897
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,519
Speaker 1: that's a big event for us coming up. When we're

1898
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:55,760
Speaker 1: done with that, we can focus on your career. Mike

1899
01:40:55,840 --> 01:41:02,560
Speaker 1: and Mike um now, but where was like, oh no,

1900
01:41:02,680 --> 01:41:06,280
Speaker 1: so moments, I'm gonna all right, I'll say the one

1901
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 1: comes to mind was when we made Paul Revere because

1902
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: Run from Run DMC was there and we idolized Run

1903
01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:15,560
Speaker 1: and he came to make a record with us. But

1904
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 1: what made it so exciting was, yeah, m c A

1905
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 1: had the idea to flip the tape over to make

1906
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: it go backwards. So the beat went backwards, so you know,

1907
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 1: we recorded it forwards. He flipped the tape and then

1908
01:41:26,800 --> 01:41:31,040
Speaker 1: it's playing backwards. Did that happen that? That happenstance? Or

1909
01:41:31,120 --> 01:41:33,679
Speaker 1: was that because he again, he was the techno whiz,

1910
01:41:34,080 --> 01:41:39,280
Speaker 1: so you know, we as like white kids loved hip hop.

1911
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,160
Speaker 1: He listened to a lot of Jimi Hendrix and so

1912
01:41:41,320 --> 01:41:44,760
Speaker 1: you know we are up on the backwards sounding thing.

1913
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 1: And then because he spent time working as an assistant engineer,

1914
01:41:48,760 --> 01:41:51,920
Speaker 1: he knew how to actually do that. So he's like, oh, no,

1915
01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 1: well record the beat, make the beat and then watch

1916
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:56,920
Speaker 1: I'll flip it. We're like huh, and we were like

1917
01:41:56,960 --> 01:41:58,800
Speaker 1: so Adam and I were like okay, busy trying to

1918
01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:00,439
Speaker 1: make the eight o eight beat and like, yeah, just

1919
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:02,400
Speaker 1: trust me. Just do that and then I'm gonna flip it.

1920
01:42:03,200 --> 01:42:07,120
Speaker 1: So we did it and then run like flip the

1921
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:09,720
Speaker 1: funk out. I get so excited and so that you

1922
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: know that, to me, that was like the most exciting

1923
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:17,439
Speaker 1: to make somebody you idolize that they're actually excited about

1924
01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: the ship you're making. That's a good story. That's cool.

1925
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 1: So one more question, just one more good making a

1926
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,240
Speaker 1: good people? Don't they want to get a drink and

1927
01:42:29,320 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 1: go home last week, I all gotta work on today

1928
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:37,479
Speaker 1: stories like that. That's good ship, Mike once, but say

1929
01:42:37,520 --> 01:42:40,639
Speaker 1: it loud. He's not even standing up to ask his question.

1930
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 1: He's going home, Mike, He's like, can you can I

1931
01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 1: get my parking validated? Motherfucker's not a reporter, but I'm

1932
01:42:55,280 --> 01:43:03,680
Speaker 1: I claim no responsibility. Yeah, I'm gonna claim more responsibility

1933
01:43:03,760 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 1: for Drake, just so they're just because I'm not a rapper,

1934
01:43:12,600 --> 01:43:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm a rapperport That's about as far as it goes in.

1935
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,400
Speaker 1: So alright, no, and no dude, respect to any of
