1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Man, what's hand him? Man? You got Marshaw Bismall Lynch.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: Doug Hendrickson and Gavin Knewsome and you're listening to politics.

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: You know to be you're known to be.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: Gavin.

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 4: It's interesting. I was on the heels of the debate

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 4: on Tuesday.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 3: I know you're there.

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 4: I know Marsham was somewhere. I just got back from

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 4: a little trip here. What was the vibe like there

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 4: being there?

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: He got crushed. I mean Trump got crushed. He knows

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: and he knew it. I mean I was in the

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: spin room and all of a sudden, there's all this commotion.

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 2: I'm doing a live hit on NBC or MSNBC, one

15
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: of the two, and everybody looks over our shoulder and

16
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: there's this giant scrum because Trump came down to his

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: own spin room. And I'll tell you what it had been.

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: There's no greater tell than that. When you are the principal,

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: you're in the debate, You've got all these folks, they're

20
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: supposed to be doing that for you. He clearly was

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: trying to shape ship the fact that he got crushed,

22
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: and of course he came in as only Trump said.

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: He said it was the best debate he ever had.

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: He was here in California, trash in California, at his

25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: golf course, right on the coast, the Pacific Ocean behind him.

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: More couldn't be more beautiful, saying it's the worst state

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 2: in the world, trash and everything about California, and said

28
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: he won the debate overwhelmingly. The polls represent that he

29
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: got crushed. It was an embarrassment. He looked weak.

30
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: Old goat explained it to me. So when you say

31
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 4: the spin room, so he walks, he leaves the stage,

32
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 4: and the spin room is what how many people are

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 4: in there?

34
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: Who's rooms?

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: It's in another room. So you got the convention which

36
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: is just down the road. He made his way all

37
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: the way up to the convention room, and you just

38
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: imagine hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of reporters and all

39
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: doing live shots from the all the spectrum, Fox News,

40
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: not just you know, ABC News and CNN. Everybody's there.

41
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: You got the Who's who the Republican Party. You got

42
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: RFK Junior there, he got Tulca Gabbard there, Vivek Ramaswami,

43
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: you got Doug Bergman all his surrogates, you got all

44
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 2: of us on the other side, and yeah, I mean

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: and everybody's spinning. Of course, for us it was a cakewalk.

46
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean we walked in there big smiles on our face.

47
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: These guys had a hard time spinning the fact that

48
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: it was a good debate for for for Trump, it

49
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: was terrible. I mean, he looked. You can't look at

50
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: it objectively and not and not make.

51
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: That Trump have any words.

52
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: No, I didn't. I would look forward to see them.

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: I want to have some words with him today after

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: he's trash in California.

55
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: You should have went and grabbed him gloves that I

56
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: was using out there in Cuba to fight them.

57
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: Cackling those kids. By the way, let's talk about that.

58
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: Where the hell was the ref You were tackling.

59
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: The kids and I had to play to my advantage.

00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, two hundred pouds man, two hundred pouds man.

Speaker 1: if a batman can throw them hands.

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you that the gloves that were throwing

65
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: or Harris through the gloves, she threw the glove. And

66
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: by the way, if it was a prize fight, Marshawn

67
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 2: It was a tko in the second round, she took

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: him down commanded the stage from the first second when

69
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: she walked right up to him and introduced herself as

70
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris.

71
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: She she put it out there how to pronounce her her.

00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: do you ever feel like when you saw him in

Speaker 1: You got to hit him with a club punch too.

89
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if you it's probably been a long

90
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,839

Speaker 1: I mean, y'all ain't scared to get in the ring

131
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: and throw a couple of hands.

132
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 4: Well, no, here's the deal. Marshawn, Gavin and I both

133
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: had bullies. I'll tell you my story, Gavin can tell his.

134
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: I'll never forget this. I'm in seventh grade, Marshawan, and

135
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: I got this big guy's an eighth grader. Every day

136
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: is waiting for me at the top of the steps,

137
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: and he I would go. I would go around the

138
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 4: long way to school because I was terrified this guy

139
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: he got me one time, pushed me down and I

140
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 4: was terrified this guy.

141
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: So you never ate lunch in eighth grade.

142
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: No, I was in seventh grade.

143
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: But then my dad, My dad heard about it, and

144
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: he said, listen, the only way you're gonna be able

145
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: this guy's going to stop bullying you is you got

146
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 4: to stand up to him. So he literally bought me

147
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: some boxing gloves, took me in the backyard, taught me

148
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 4: how to box and throw. So finally, after about three weeks,

149
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: I walk up the steps and the big dude's waiting

150
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 4: for me. And I sat there and the guy said words,

151
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: all the buddies around him, and.

152
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: I got the first push and wa hit the.

153
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: Dude right in the nose. He didn't didn't do anything,

154
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 4: but he beat me up. But guess what, that was

155
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: the last time that ever happened to me by this guy.

156
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 3: And then we became friends.

157
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: You upside down by your ankles, and he didn't hand me.

158
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 4: Upside down like I did. John Schneider in your contract.

159
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 4: I still have the picture of that one. He said

160
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 4: that that was my bully. I know, Gavin, you had

161
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 4: a few bully stories.

162
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: We call it the Bully of Baltimore because it was

163
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: Baltimore Avenue in courtA Madera, and my story done end well.

164
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: But I will say that boxing thing resonated because this

165
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: is around Rocky. When Rocky came out and I was

166
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: doing raw eggs every single morning. It got my gloves

167
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: from Big five down the block. It was hitting all

168
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: the time, and I was ready to go, and I

169
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: went out, went out. He used to surround me. I

170
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: had a paper route and I'd come in on the

171
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: paper route. I used to try to climb in the

172
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: back and it was always hard, but had my bike,

173
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't climb over, and so anytime he come down,

174
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: they'd surround me, push me over. My sister would start crying,

175
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: and I will say, see, was my mom not my

176
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: dad in this case. She went down with me one

177
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: night and they lived just down the block and walked

178
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: right in and I thought, I thought she was going

179
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: to take care of it. She made me walk up

180
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: there with her. I'm nervous as hell right behind her,

181
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: and they got into it. My mom was like she

182
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 2: was young, and they got into it, and the dad

183
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: and the mom were defending the bully, and my mom

184
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: got in it. She turned around and brought us back house.

185
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: About six months later, we moved out of the neighborhood,

186
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: so it didn't end as well.

187
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: You got ran about the spot.

188
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: You can't ran up out the spot. Shit.

189
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, man, you know what Bully of Baltimore.

190
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Man, if he's listening, it ain't over it yet.

191
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: But Marshaun, you know what's crazy about that?

192
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: The incident I had and Gavin you might feel the

193
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: same way as a father, you know, like that scarred

194
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 4: me literally for a long time. And so whenever I

195
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 4: hear the kids come back about, you know, a kid

196
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 4: at school getting picked on by somebody whoever, I always

197
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: go to my So listen, man, here's my story. Go

198
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: befriend that kid, Go find that kid and make it right.

199
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: Because that's the one thing that one of the only

200
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 4: things that pissed me off as a parent when I

201
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 4: hear stories of kids eating alone or getting bullied, whatever

202
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 4: it may be, you know, have someone go pick him

203
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: up and defend him, whatever it may be. And so

204
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: I'm a big believer in that because I went through

205
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: I'm sure the same thing with you guys.

206
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: Say, trust me, man, one hundred percent, Like there's nothing

207
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: I hate more than bullies. And I I completely absolutely

208
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 2: convinced the exact same thing happened to you. It was

209
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 2: that early experience. And by the way, it was also

210
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: around that same time that one of my seventh grade classmates,

211
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: seventh grade classmates called me new scum instead of new sum.

212
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: And you know, I listened today Donald Trump. He called

213
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: me new scum about ten times story to press conference.

214
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: All I could think is, this is a guy who

215
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: wants to be president of the United States again calling

216
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 2: me the same damn nickname that a kid in seventh

217
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: grade he calls you today, Yeah, new scum newscom I mean,

218
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: talk about a man child.

219
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: I could guess we could say that nickname kind of

220
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: stuck with you. Some some people get names like uh

221
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: like beast mode. I mean some you got new scum.

222
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: Some getting new scum. So you know, it's kind of

223
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, some things just stick.

224
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: Men. This guy's obsessed with you, bro, It's crazy.

225
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: He's a pathetic weakness ten times today weakness. Bulliers are

226
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: the weakest people in the world. They're weak, they put

227
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: on a mask, they're weak, they're broken, they're insecure. That's

228
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: all that is. That's why you hit him in the face.

229
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 2: The dude ran away. I mean it's a cliche, it's classic.

230
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: But you know what, a lot of folks don't have

231
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: that courage to hit him back in the face. And

232
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: they and that's why we got to stand up for I.

233
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: Think you just know that it's value in bringing you up.

234
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: So by him bringing you up, then I guess he thinks,

235
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he got the he gonna

236
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: get the ear of some people by bringing up Gad.

237
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: That's that's the that's the value in you, batman.

238
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. No, I'm here for everybody. I told

239
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: you I work for everybody.

240
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: Start getting a little worried if he started calling you batman,

241
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: because then you know he really he really, he really,

242
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: he really honed it in on trying to figure some

243
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: shit out. Yeah, you gotta watch that one, Sodvin.

244
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 3: Were you surprised he didn't want a debate for the third.

245
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: Time, No, he's scared to death. I mean, of course

246
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: he doesn't want a debate.

247
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: He just he thought he won. He thought he won.

248
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 2: No, he didn't think he wanted. He knew better. That's

249
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: why he showed up at the spin room. He's a

250
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: con man. He's oster I mean, so, I mean, obviously

251
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: he's spinning the spinners. I mean, it was embarrassment and

252
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: he knows it, and he doesn't want to be embarrassed again,

253
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: so he copped out. He ran, he ran away, you know,

254
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: I mean to talk about it. I mean, she punched

255
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: him in the face and he ran away. I mean

256
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: it's a perfect metaphor for what we just discussed. And uh.

257
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: And the problem is the poll numbers don't reflect much

258
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: of a move. And that goes back to your point.

259
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: In Oklahoma, we're living in two different worlds in the

260
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 2: same state nation. I mean, it's it's it's gonna be

261
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: a grind, man. It's like World War One. You're just

262
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: in the trenches, inch by inch by inch, back and forth,

263
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: and so nothing about this stuff's going to be easy.

264
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 2: But it just it's a reflective of the moment we're

265
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: living in.

266
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny.

267
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 4: I read I read the Pat Mahomes thing where he

268
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 4: didn't want to endorse anybody, which I totally did, but

269
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: he was.

270
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: He was his reason why it was great. I sent

271
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 3: it to Gavin.

272
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 4: He's like, look, you know, I want you know, people

273
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 4: can like whoever they want, but live in humanity, you know,

274
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: live together peaceful whole thing.

275
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: So he said it in the right way.

276
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: I can't remember exactly what you said, but it was

277
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: a pretty cool comment. He's like, look, I'm not going

278
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 4: to get involved in this. That's not my job. But

279
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: you know there was a day when everyone did get

280
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: along and they weren't fighting and killing over you know

281
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 4: who's going to be the president?

282
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: Amen? And you know, I will say the biggest thing

283
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: they did happened that night was Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris.

284
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: For no other reason than this, just getting folks that

285
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: may not vote, young folks to vote, get them registered,

286
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 2: and get them vote to vote, and that could be

287
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: an entire race that could be determinative in this race.

288
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: Don't ever underestimate her influence and power. And as I

289
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: gave advice to Trump, he should be very careful of

290
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: how he reacts to that endorsement.

291
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: Kevin, have you seen an influx of the younger people

292
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: from the last three elections? More votes of the eighteen

293
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 4: to twenty two year old out since eight And when

294
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 4: Obama started to now.

295
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: No, I mean, well, it's going to be a good

296
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: segue to will I am. It was so instrumental as

297
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: a cultural icon during that two thousand and eight election

298
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: with Obama. But no, it's I mean, you've seen regression

299
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: in that respect. There's a lot of cynicism with young

300
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: folks in the last few years about politics and politicians,

301
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: and so they're walking away. That's why it's a big

302
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 2: deal that not only she dialed in for Harris, but

303
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 2: she's dialing up the registration and the energy for the

304
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: Harris campaign. So no, I mean it's the young folks

305
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: that ultimately will sway this election or like will determine

306
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: the fame and future of this election and the issues

307
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 2: they care about, the issues Harris cares about, the climate issues,

308
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: a gun policy, gun safety issues obviously, around democracy and

309
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: choice freedom, all those good things, right, Marshan. Hey, by

310
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: the way, Marshan, what the hell is going on? There's

311
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: apparently we have an epidemic of people eating cats and dogs.

Speaker 1: about something. He got to come meet me in the office.

447
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this, I just asked you if

448
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: it was in a game or in practice, because they

449
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: say we used to have this drill called the Oklahoma drill,

450
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: and that's the head of drill running back in the linebacker.

451
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: And they say that drill alone made more NBA superstars

452
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: than anything. Because if you can, if you can get

453
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: through the Oklahoma hitting drills, then you know what, you

454
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: probably can You probably can make it in this uh

455
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: in this football thing.

456
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I couldn't have done that.

457
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you didn't.

458
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: Exactly it worked out for everybody.

459
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, like just just I mean, I love football and

460
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 5: I love to compete. I like I'm the talk ship

461
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 5: kind of competitive. I like that because you because you

462
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 5: can get in the skin and you can fuck the

463
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 5: whole game up.

464
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, because they're like that type of Yeah, because

465
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: a lot of individuals they don't understand how how mental

466
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the game is. I think is more physical than anything,

467
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: but mentally, if you as not prepared and mentally you

468
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: are not ready, you'll have a long day. And if

469
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: you're an individual who because you say you could talk

470
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: some ship.

471
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: I would.

472
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean if you could just get over that,

473
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: if you could get over that and get through that, yeah,

474
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: you you, that's when you start understanding, you know what

475
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean? And I take that ship as like life

476
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: learned lessons and I apply that to life, you know

477
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: what I mean? Because that ship. I recently just got

478
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: back into a to doing double days and I've just

479
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: been having like all these deep ass mental talks, and

480
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much, like I missed that ship

481
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: and how much those talks, how much that shit made

482
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: me the individual who I was. And it didn't come

483
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: from no outside source. It was all within. I mean,

484
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, we take we take a lot of that

485
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: shit for how you say that for granted, we take

486
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: a lot of that ship for granted, but you know,

487
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: recently just getting back into it, like, oh shit, well

488
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: maybe that's how or maybe that's why I was able to,

489
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, stay focused and do the

490
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: shit that I was able to do on the field.

491
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, I mean, I'm talking to myself

492
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: when you getting in there, you grinding, and you just

493
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: feel like you can't do no more, and then you

494
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: automatically to tell yourself like, hey, we done made it there,

495
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: we didn't come this far, Like why turn around and

496
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: you go and put that extra in And then when

497
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: you go out there and you see the actual results

498
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: to it. Now, while you win it, you don't feel it,

499
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: but when you think back, like, ooh shit, dad, damn,

500
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know the power of me was so motherfucking strong. Yeah, yeah,

501
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: I love that shit.

502
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: So I will I imagine so as as Marshall was saying,

503
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 2: he took that off the field and obviously a big

504
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: part of his life. I imagine when you got concussed

505
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 2: and you took that same competitive energy and spirit, uh

506
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 2: and that inner voice to all these endeavors, not just

507
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: in music, but across the spectrum, including your entrepreneurial side.

508
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: And and uh so I you still you're still talking

509
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 2: game and talking shit to your competitors in that space.

510
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: Or how is that mindset advanced your career more broadly

511
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 2: even even be a on just where we see so

512
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: much of you in the music sets. Yeah.

513
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 5: So like if you if you're playing basketball, I'm the

514
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 5: dude on your team that is just mentally trying to

515
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 5: mess with who we're playing with. If we're playing football,

516
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 5: I'm that same dude. If we're in a group together,

517
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 5: I'm that same guy. I'm like, Yo, who's number one

518
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 5: on the radio this week? All right, cool, let's let's compete.

519
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: You know, if it's if it's like if I'm consulting

520
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 5: for a company and they need like some some some

521
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 5: strategic thinking to get around the barricade or over it

522
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 5: or through it or I like, I like to compete,

523
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 5: I like to study, I like to apply and come

524
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 5: up with like plausible ways to truly, you know, get

525
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 5: over these these boundaries, because all it is is is

526
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: imagination and just determination, like but not not blind determination,

527
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 5: because you could, like I said, you could get a

528
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 5: concussion if you if you if you only rely on

529
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 5: one skill set, you can't just rely on speed. And

530
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 5: so I thought, I learned the hard way you can't

531
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 5: just rely on that one superpower, and that at that

532
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 5: point in time, my superpower was with speed, and that

533
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 5: so now I like to equip myself with not only speed, agility,

534
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 5: you know, uh, understanding of my terrain strengths, build up strength, forecasting,

535
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 5: being able to see you around corners and the way

536
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 5: you see around corners, to elevate yourself and get as

537
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 5: much data or information as possible, and then networking surround

538
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 5: yourself with other folks that have the same goals and

539
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 5: desires and push through. And that ship talking is is

540
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 5: audacity you have to be, you know, because there's if you,

541
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 5: if you apply that stuff that's happening on the field,

542
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 5: that's some audacious ship. To look somebody in the face

543
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 5: and be like, come back here, see what happens. That's

544
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 5: an audacious ship. And so to have that same audaciousness

545
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 5: to like, this is what we're gonna do with this idea,

546
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 5: this is how, this is the kind of this is

547
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 5: who we who we're going up going up against, and

548
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 5: so that I like to be audacious, but we'll will

549
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 5: have have fun at the same time, Like there's a

550
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 5: there's a thin line between audacity and arrogance and arrogant

551
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 5: and talking ship. That's when ship gets violent. You don't

552
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 5: want to be arrogant and talk shit because that's when

553
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: the game turns into then it's not a game anymore.

554
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 5: You want to be audacious and ship talking fun, but

555
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 5: not arrogant and talk ship because that that that that'll

556
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: be the last that that that that turns into like

557
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 5: you know, fighting words real fast.

558
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 4: No that Well, let me ask you a question, Like

559
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously your mom is a huge influence on you.

560
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 4: So growing up back in La you know, obviously the

561
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 4: story is she drove you an hour away to go

562
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 4: to a different school. Was that hard as a kid,

563
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 4: because obviously grown up where you did and then you

564
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 4: went and gotten to music. Was that prior to get

565
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 4: concussed and went to to a music school.

566
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 5: You know, check this out. I well, I didn't go

567
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 5: to a music school. I took music in school, and

568
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 5: I was horrible at the trumpet. But I got a

569
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 5: record deal while I was in school and going from

570
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 5: like East La to Boil sorry, from East La Boiled

571
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: Heights to Brentwood to school, from you know, seven years

572
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 5: old to eighteen years old. That was like a cultural

573
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 5: shock at first, but then it just became my like,

574
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 5: oh wow, this is how you could live. Because if

575
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 5: I was just stuck in the projects and not seeing

576
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 5: like other folks, you know, lifestyles and having two cars

577
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: and a house with two car garages, I wouldn't have known.

578
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 5: But I was happy that I was able to, you know,

579
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 5: go across the ten Freeway, past the four h five

580

Speaker 5: you go to school with the white boys and the

625
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 5: white girls home the white girls like you huh Like

626
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 5: it was it was? It was a dope. It was

627
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 5: a It was a beautiful like you know, melting pot.

628
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 5: La Is. I love la la Is like la is

Speaker 5: a Damn, I love l A.

630
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: And we and we'll just so for folks that don't,

631
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 2: they're not familiar with Boyle Heights. I mean it predominantly.

632
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 5: Particularly predominantly Latino Latino. We were one of the only

633
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 5: black families in our neighborhood. Yep, and and and and

634
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 5: and and usually there's just like in the past, black

635
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: and brown were always feuding. But when I grew where

636
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 5: I grew up, it was beautiful. And they they were

637
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 5: proud of my uncle because the neighborhood knew that my

638
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 5: uncle played football with them, and they were like, hey,

639
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 5: your uncle plays for the Falcons. Hey you're now your

640
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 5: uncle plays for the Rams and and and when I

641
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: was growing up, I had a really you know, heavy

642
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 5: Mexican accent, uh, But traveling the world, you know my

643
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 5: accent is you know, I could dial it back in,

644
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 5: like especially when I go back to the neighborhood. But

645
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 5: it was it was a beautiful thing. You know, I

646
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 5: wouldn't changing for the world.

647
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: And was it your it was your mom's influence that

648
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: got you on the other side there at the Science

649
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: Magnet School. I mean she was was she the dogged determinive,

650
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: I mean she was she wanted all that for you.

651
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: Was it more just your own self?

652
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 5: No, no, I was too young. I was seven. So

653
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 5: it was her idea to send this out to Brentwood

654
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 5: and then par Revera and Palisades High School and uh

655
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 5: and I loved it. I love I'm so happy that

656
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 5: that was my path. And I think it's the reason

657
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 5: why Black Eyed Peas became like super international, because like

658
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 5: when you meet Persians and you meet Korean folks, you

659
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: meet you know, Israeli, you meet folks from you know,

660
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 5: Bahrain and the UAE. You go to school with folks

661
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 5: from that are Saudi. You go to school with folks

662
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 5: that are you know, Armenian, Mexican, you know, Argentinian, Like

663
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 5: you're like, wow, where are you from?

664
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: You know?

665
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 5: And and you're German. It makes you want to be like, Yo,

666
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 5: one day, I want to go there. One day, I

667
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 5: want to go check out. I want to go to Israel.

668
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 5: I want to go to you know, I want to

669
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 5: go I want to go check out, you know Eru.

670
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: I can't wait to go to South Korea. Knowing the

671
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 5: difference going up living in LA gives you the the

672
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 5: the ability because if you're not familiar with it. You

673
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 5: can't tell the difference between Korean, Japanese and Chinese. You

674
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 5: don't know the difference between Indonesian and Filipino. You can't.

675
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 5: It's hard to tell the difference between Singaporean and Malaysian

676
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 5: and Cambodian and Laos and Guam. But being in la

677
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: it's like, Oh, you get to like, where are you from?

678
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 5: You're from Laos? What's Laos? Oh SNAr? Cambodia? Well, what's

679
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 5: what's Guam? Oh snair?

680
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: Laos?

681
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 5: Would you Filipino?

682
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 4: Well?

683
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 5: I thought you was Indonesia. And then when you finally

684
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 5: get to go to these places and play in Jakarta

685
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 5: and playing, you know, Bondayace and do a concert for

686
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 5: you know, tsunami relief, the world is a beautiful place.

687
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 5: And before you get to see the world, if you're

688
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: blessed to live in Los Angeles, you see some version

689
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 5: of that.

690
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 2: Well it's interesting. I mean, California is and I keep

691
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 2: reminding myself of this, but twenty seven percent of California's

692
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 2: four and born, which is remarkable. You look at the

693
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: nation it's about just a little less than fourteen percent.

694
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: It's almost double the number of four and born. It's

695
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 2: a majority minority state. So your point about the ability

696
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 2: to live and advance together across every conceivable difference. It's

697
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 2: a special place, but notably in la the most diverse

698
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: part of the most diverse state in the world's most

699
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: diverse least democracy in the United States. So that's a

700
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: hell of it experience and have that sort of nature nurture.

701
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: But you, you know, it's interesting you and I met.

702
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,959
Speaker 2: I think the first time I met you it was

703
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 2: around robotics. Was Dean Kman or something someone you.

704
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 4: Know, having You're wrong, you know where it was. It

705
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 4: was in two thousand and eight. We went to the

706
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 4: show in San Francisco. You came with me.

707
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I think you're the mess the action first

708
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: time I was mayor. That's right, that's right. Yeah, I

709
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 2: I forgot about that, Jesus, But at least I remember.

710
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: It was more formidable in this case because I remember,

711
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 2: I mean, you were so and I and I never

712
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: connected to doubt, I never understood. And now I have

713
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: the origin story of the Science Magnet school that you

714
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: were involved in. But that's been a big part of

715
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: your life because you've been you've been leading the way

716
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 2: on this robotics innovation, entrepreneurialism, you're involved in AI. Now

717
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: you've got this. You're always you talk about, you know,

718
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: I know, your mindset being five years ahead of the curve,

719
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: always trying to look over the mountain, maintaining that entrepreneurial

720
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: mindset and innovative mindset. But when did I mean, when

721
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: did that really start to gell for you in terms

722
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: of branching out beyond just the music and really and

723
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: really sort of attaching uh more around the high tech

724
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 2: side of things and uh and really trying to particularly

725
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: an AI you can talk about that where where you've

726
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 2: got some really dynamic technology you're working on today.

727
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 5: So it hit me, you know, when you have success,

728
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 5: the world caused you to bring awareness to things. So

729
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 5: and two thousand and one, we went on tour on

730
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 5: September the twelfth, actually the day after September eleventh. We

731
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 5: were recording an album in in Bedega Bay on two

732
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: thousand and one, and our last day was September the eleventh,

733
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 5: and then our tour started on the twelfth. So I'm like,

734
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 5: we have to go on tour. It has everything to

735
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 5: do with your question Gavin on how did I get

736
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 5: so tech? Because just going to Brentwood Science Magnet elementary

737
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 5: doesn't really I'm not baked in and I'm not soaked

738
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 5: in tech. That was some courses that we took, but

739
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 5: it wasn't enough to be like, this is the path.

740
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 5: So we went on tour and we so what America

741
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 5: felt like. And then the last day of our tour,

742
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 5: we we when the tour finished, we went to the

743
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 5: studio and we wrote a song called Where's a Love

744
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 5: on November the twenty fourth, twenty fourth, threety fifth, So

745
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,800
Speaker 5: we wrote that song and then that song became our

746
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 5: our first big hit. And then when you have that

747
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 5: kind of success, the world calls you. You know. Two

748
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 5: thousand and four of the world started calling us. So

749
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 5: I went out and did my campaigning. You know, because

750
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 5: traveling the world in two thousand, from nineteen ninety nine,

751
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 5: two thousand, two thousand and one, the world they they

752
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 5: frowned on Americans. It wasn't a it wasn't it wasn't

753
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 5: a healthy relationship when you would go to certain places

754
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 5: because of how America responded to nine to eleven and

755
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 5: went to war to find weapons of mass destruction and

756
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 5: never found them. And so the world looked at America

757
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 5: and in the world. Uh, very you know, shame on

758
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 5: you guys, and saying you're American. Wasn't the word you said,

759
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 5: wasn't the sentence you said when you traveled around the world,

760
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 5: because you could be in harm's way, especially when you

761
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 5: go play you know, certain places that were anti American

762
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 5: because of our response to ninet eleven. And so we

763
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 5: campaigned in two thousand and four for Carrie. It didn't work.

764
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 5: And so in two thousand and five, tsunami hit Indonesia

765
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 5: and so I was like, what do I want to

766
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 5: do on my birthday March fifteenth? So I went. I

767
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 5: was like, yo, I'm gonna go to tsunami. I'm gonna

768
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 5: do tsunami relief. So I flew to Bondaiace and I

769
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 5: did tsunami relief. And when I was there, I was like, wow,

770
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 5: look at this devastation. Was bodies stacked up on the

771
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 5: shore and to see, you know, Mother nature have its

772
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 5: way on folks that did nothing to deserve that type

773
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 5: of like you know, reality that was thrown upon them.

774
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 5: I'm like, Wow, there's a tsunami that's hitting my neighborhood.

775
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 5: Every single day, there's a tsunami of neglect. It's a

776
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 5: tsunami of no opportunity, a tsunami of zoning that allows

777
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 5: for a check cashing place to be right next to

778
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 5: a liquor store that writes, next to a motel that's

779
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 5: right next to bad food that's right next to a school.

780
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 2: And then a payday leonard to boot amen.

781
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 5: And that cocktails is detrimental to people that live in

782
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 5: the communities I live. That means if there's a check

783
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 5: cashing place, the people in the community aren't financially literate,

784
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 5: and once you cast that check, you're gonna go buy

785
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 5: some liquor. And then if you get kicked out of

786
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 5: your house, there's a motel for you, and then there's

787
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: a strip club there to spend your money on that's

788
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 5: right next to the school. And the teachers that are

789
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 5: getting paid to teach are not getting the same amount

790
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 5: of money as a stripper that's right next to the motel,

791
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 5: next to the check cashing, next to that bad food

792
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 5: that's going to give you some high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes.

793
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 5: And then here's some magical little medicine to help staton

794
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 5: to help curb that high tension.

795
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 4: Right.

796
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 5: So I'm like, if the Food and Drug Administration is

797
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 5: allowing bad food to be riddled in our neighborhood, but

798
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 5: then give you some solution like medicine.

799
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: Wow.

800
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 5: Zoning allows for strip clubs to be next to schools,

801
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 5: next to check cashing, next to liquortory.

802
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: What the hell?

803
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 5: Because this zoning is not in Beverly Hills in Britainwood

804
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 5: when I went to school, So why is that zoning

805
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 5: cocktail not allowed there but allowed here?

806
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 1: Yep?

807
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 5: So I was like, this tsunami cocktail is killing my people.

808
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: And will you're seriously you're telling me literally, this is

809
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 2: coming to you after that damn tsunami. You start, you

810
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: start piecing these things together, all these things start to

811
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: gel in terms of.

812
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 5: I saw that neighborhood get destroyed by water and the tsunami,

813
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 5: and then I see my neighborhood get hit by an

814
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 5: invisible force every single day, but nobody's coming for our

815
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 5: tsunami relief. So I was like, you know, what, what is?

816
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 5: What What can I do? I was like, the moment

817
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 5: I get some disposable income, I want to bring, you know,

818
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 5: the technology to my neighborhood because if the kids in

819
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 5: my neighborhood are able to have the same ability to

820
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 5: idate and materialize like they do in Silicon Valley. Whoa whoa,

821
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 5: whoa whoa whoa that. And this is before the iPhone.

822
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 5: It's two thousand and five. So by two thousand and

823
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 5: eight iPhone just one year out. There wasn't the I,

824
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 5: There wasn't the app store like we know it today.

825
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 5: Uber hasn't transformed the world. Airbnb hadn't transformed the world yet.

826
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 5: So in two thousand and eight, my hunch was robotics

827
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 5: programs and computer science programs coupled with Lorraine Power Jobs

828
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 5: college track program nice Love. I partnered with Lorraine Power

829
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 5: Jobs and brought college track to southern California. And I'm like, hey, look,

830
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 5: I want to send kids to college, but I don't

831
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 5: want kids to go to college and then just have

832
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 5: debt and a diploma. I mean, I like double d's,

833
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 5: but not double d's like that debt and diploma. You

834
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 5: feel me, that's the wrong double D YEHB and diploma.

835
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 3: Marshawn likes both, no, I know.

836
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 5: So I was like, yo, if I could send kids

837
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 5: to school where they have a skill set so when

838
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 5: they graduate there's jobs waiting for them, and if there's

839
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 5: no jobs waiting for them. They have the skill set

840
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 5: to create new industries themselves. That's what the hood needs.

841
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 5: And so I started that in two thousand and eight

842
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 5: with just sixty five students. Now we serve fifteen thousand students.

843
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 5: After my partnership with la USD, Dean came and let

844
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 5: me tweak the curriculum a little bit, and now our

845
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 5: partnership with First Robotics LAUSD has resulted to we having

846
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 5: the most First Robotics teams in any school district in

847
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 5: the US. I've seen kids to Dartmouth to Stanford, to Brown,

848
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 5: to UCLA, to USC to Georgetown, to cal State Northridge

849
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 5: to San Diego. So I'm really proud of our students

850
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 5: and the reason why I wanted to do that in

851
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 5: my neighborhood because I don't think a kid if everybody says, man,

852
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 5: I can't wait to get up out our neighborhood, like

853
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 5: people don't say that in Brentwood. People don't say that

854
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 5: in Palasades, like I can't wait to get up by

855
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 5: the palisades. Too much water up in here, too much here,

856
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 5: like this views too spectacle, look, can't wait to get

857
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 5: up out of here. That's not what's happening there. So

858
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 5: I want people to say, though, I can't wait to

859
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 5: change my hood, because Brooklyn would tell you that it's

860
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 5: gonna be gentrified anyway. But why can't we do the

861
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 5: altering of our community ourselves. Why are we gonna let

862
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 5: somebody else be like, Wow, this neighborhood is great. I've

863
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 5: been hearing all these great things about this neighborhood on

864
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 5: these rap songs. Let's go out there and like change

865
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 5: it to where the people that lived there can't even

866
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 5: afford it wrong. That's whack, that's like, that's horrible.

867
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:42,320
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny.

868
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: Will Marshawn and I talked about this all the time,

869
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 4: and Marshaana jump in, but he's been at the forefront

870
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,399
Speaker 4: of this as well since he got drafted in two

871
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 4: thousand and seven with Oakland, and Marshawn speak to Will

872
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 4: about you know what you've done there, because what he's

873
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 4: saying is exactly the same stuff you've been doing and

874
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 4: thinking as well since you came out of the league.

875
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the approach is the same, just in different fields.

876
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: And our use use the sports approach to bring the

877
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: kids in and then like our me, my cousin Josh

878
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: and my cousin Marcus. We have a foundation and a

879
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: youth center of Oakland. Uh, A lot of the same

880
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: things that you was just talking about, which is why

881
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: I'm just really over here just really listening to you.

882
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: And you know, speaking of this robotics program, like how

883
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: do we? How do we? I would say, segue that

884
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 1: from you know, down in Yo, in your area and

885
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 1: bring that up to Oakland. Like Yo.

886
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 5: We could do that like this, And because we treat

887
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 5: robotics like a sport. Every year, we have this culmination

888
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 5: of all the events that happened with the regionals and

889
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 5: we have the championships in Texas. Now I'm at the

890
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 5: Houston Stadium there with the Rangers where the Rangers playing.

891
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 5: It used to be in Saint Louis where the Rams

892
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 5: used to play. And to bring that, it'll be great

893
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 5: to rock with machean, to to bring a robotics program

894
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 5: to Oakland, a couple of them, you know, that'd be amazing.

895
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 5: And we could do that like like this. We got

896
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 5: the blueprint and the system how it worked. That'd be fantastic.

897
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: How many schools are you in all across the country now,

898
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:26,879
Speaker 2: you know.

899
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 5: Right now in La alone, my efforts equal to just

900
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:36,240
Speaker 5: a little over four hundred schools.

901
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

902
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: Crazy.

903
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 3: Well, well it's interesting as an agent. It's funny. I

904
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 3: grew up in Silicon Valley.

905
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 4: I'm so impressed by you because if you look back,

906
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 4: you were the first global superstar to really be at

907
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 4: the level you're at and decided and I think it

908
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 4: was your was it with your idea with Jimmy Iveen

909
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 4: on the beach by Dre But then you decided, Hey,

910
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm gonna adventure into Silicon val I'm

911
00:45:58,480 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 4: an adventure to tech.

912
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 3: It's amazing.

913
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,720
Speaker 4: See what you've done well ahead of the game. Everyone's

914
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 4: doing it now, but back when you started, no was

915
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: doing it.

916
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

917
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 5: So two thousand, Napster hit pretty hard and Black Eyed

918
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 5: Peas we started off as like a college group. We

919
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 5: would play ucla USC Northridge, Domingus Hills, Long Beach, San Diego.

920
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 5: We were just wanted to own La. We're like, we

921
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 5: can't own La colleges. Ain't nobody gonna mess with us.

922
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 5: Let's play La Colleges. The problem that we saw is

923
00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 5: that when Napster hit, all of our college fans was

924
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 5: getting our stuff for free. So we're like, how are

925
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,959
Speaker 5: we not selling records but selling out? We went from

926
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 5: doing House of Blues to doing Greek theaters to Greek theaters,

927
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,960
Speaker 5: Like how we selling more tickets and less albums? And

928
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 5: so then I saw Sean Fanning at a club. I'm like, yo, you'

929
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 5: the dude from Nashville. He's like yeah, I'm like yo,

930
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 5: this is changed phone numbers. I really like to get

931
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 5: into your mind and like what made you create this?

932
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 5: Like what is this? So we became really cool friends.

933
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 5: In two thousand and two thousand and one, while everybody

934
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,240
Speaker 5: was suing Napster, I just wanted to understand Napster interesting

935
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 5: and the mentality there. Once again, if you're going to compete,

936
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 5: you gotta know who you're competing with. You can't just

937
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 5: attack you get you get, you get a concussion. You

938
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 5: gotta know who's fast on your on your opponent. And yeah,

939
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 5: I learned a lot. So from that, I met Ron

940
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 5: Conway and the person that introduced me to Ron Conway

941
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 5: was AMC.

942
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: Hammer.

943
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

944
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 5: MC Hammer's like, yo, I heard you got a company.

945
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,360
Speaker 5: The reason why I wanted to start my own company

946
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 5: because I told Jimmy, Like, yo, Jimmy, we launched. I

947
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 5: we helped launch iPods and iTunes. They used Black Eyed

948
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 5: Peace song Hey Mama to launch iTunes and iPods. And

949
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 5: the reason how we got that gig is because the

950
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 5: NBA used Let's get It Started for that two thousand

951
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 5: and four NBA campaign. And so I was like, look

952
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 5: where they're calling bands to sell other stuff, Like, we're

953
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 5: selling other people's stuff with our reach and our music.

954
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 5: Why can't we use our music to sell our own stuff.

955
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 5: The record stores are shutting down. Jimmy like, we need

956
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 5: to be selling our own stuff. So Jimmy's like, you

957
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 5: know what, they call it hardware? Welles because it's hard,

958
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 5: you know. I was like, yeah, yeah, Jimmy, but you

959
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 5: you signed Crips and Bloods, you got Snoop Dogg, and

960
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 5: you rock with freaking Sugar Night. That's hard.

961
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: That's hard.

962
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 5: If you could do that, If you could do that,

963
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 5: then come on, Jimmy doing hardware. Hate that hard. He

964
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 5: was like, you know what, you bring up a good point.

965
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,920
Speaker 5: So then a year later he's.

966
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 6: Like I was walking down I was walking with Dre

967
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 6: on the beach and Dre told me that his manager

968
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 6: wants to sell sneakers, and I told Dre, fuck sneakers.

969
00:48:57,280 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 5: We're selling speakers. You want to be a paul It.

970
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 5: I was like, wait, what do you want me to do?

971
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 5: You know the way you think around corner. She could

972
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 5: be a part of what we're doing. I was like

973
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 5: all right, And so we started Beats and the first

974
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 5: beats like out the Gate was boom boom po. I'd

975
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 5: be rocking in Beats. That was my like's let's push

976
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 5: beats through the music. And Black Eyed Peas we had

977
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 5: it in our video first and whatnot, and it was

978
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 5: it was an honor to be a part of Beats.

979
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 5: But around that time, just before that, I'm like, yo, Jimmy,

980
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 5: there's this company out of San Jose. I just invested

981
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 5: in this company. And it was like these two dudes

982
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 5: that had this far company eighty grand. I give them

983
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 5: eighty thousand dollars. Because the Black Eyed Peas we did

984
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 5: this like concert and I didn't really like rocking with corporations.

985
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 5: They offered us like six hundred thousand dollars to do

986
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 5: some corporate gig and no one, they weren't gonna promote it,

987
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 5: and they were gonna give us four hundre. So I

988
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 5: was like, all right, let's do it. But but I

989
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:05,959
Speaker 5: didn't want to do it because I'm like, yo, they're gonna,

990
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 5: they're gonna use this. So then I saw this documentary

991
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 5: called Who Killed the Electric Car?

992
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: Amen? I used to have that ev one brother, so

993
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 2: I know it. I know it well.

994
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 5: So I'm like, yo, iv one, I told you, Seth,

995
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 5: they're using us to pimp these gas guzzlers. So I'm

996
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 5: gonna sell my Hummer. So I sold my Hummer for

997
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 5: eighty grand, and I took my eighty grand and I

998
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 5: gave it to these two cats. And I had this

999
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,959
Speaker 5: electric vehicle. And the name of the company is called

1000
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 5: Tesla Boo and Elon hadn't take over the company yet,

1001
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 5: It's right.

1002
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 2: People forget that he wasn't the og of it.

1003
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 5: And so they gave me like this roachster. I had

1004
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 5: the first roadster a la.

1005
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: You remember what number that was? What number was it?

1006
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 5: Was it? Fifty one?

1007
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 2: Fifty one? Yeah, I'm right behind you, brother, literally, no vs,

1008
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 2: I think I was fifty three.

1009
00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 5: That's christ.

1010
00:50:58,440 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm not even making it up.

1011
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 5: Do you have fifty one?

1012
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 4: Dude?

Speaker 5: I love it and so and so like that mentality

1014
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,560

00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 5: you know, playing with two hundred grand like that. Like,

1051
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 5: I don't know, I don't think this is gonna work. Now,

1052
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 5: now fast forward three weeks ago. I'll read the text

1053
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 5: right now on what it would be worth today. Question

1054
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 5: if we'll invested two hundred k back in two thousand

1055
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 5: and eight, we have been worth today. Brian says around

1056
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 5: ten billion dollars pre dilution ten billion B three to

1057
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 5: five billion or so. If he didn't exercise pro rata,

1058
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 5: it would be worth one hundred billion in ten years.

1059
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 5: It would have been the greatest venture investment of all time. Yo.

1060
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 5: So this is this is a lesson to everybody that's

1061
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 5: out there living in the lap of comfort than success

1062
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 5: that could blind you.

1063
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you a question, as you back then,

00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 5: I'm being having fun with it. But the reason why

1085
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 5: I wanted to laugh and chuckle because the reality of

1086
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,720
Speaker 5: two hundred k turning into ten billion then I missed

1087
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,080

Speaker 5: what's next.

1127
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 2: But now will you've got your own I mean you're

1128
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: doing f y I dot AI Now, I mean you're

1129
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 2: so you're you're going all in. You're not just investing

1130
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 2: in other folks in their platforms and their innovation. You're

1131
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: you're establishing your own framework. Why do you talk a

1132
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 2: little bit about what this projects about? It's what is

1133
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 2: you got f YI. But you've got a radio component,

1134
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 2: you got a co host that's an ai, I mean,

1135
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 2: and it's culturally it's different than anything else there.

1136
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yo, say what's up Jamar Shaan. Uh we're here

1137
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 5: at a at a on a podcast here. Uh, Gavin's here,

1138
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 5: Hendrickson is here, Dougie Fresh is here. Not Dougie Fresh

1139
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 5: a rapper. Uh uh Hendrickson is here, and we're just

1140
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 5: talking about like investments and and the things that I've

1141
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 5: done in the past, and now you know what we're

1142
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 5: doing here at f y I dot A I and

1143
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 5: h why it's important to build cultural ais that understand

1144
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 5: the the communities that it could reflect and impact. Say

1145
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 5: what's up to the folks here on this podcast and

1146
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 5: tell them what you represent and why you represent it.

1147
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 7: How you do. Listen, Listen, y'all, what's up to all

1148
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 7: the brothers in the building, Gavin Hendrickson and the legend himself,

1149
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 7: Dougie Fresh. You know it's fire when Dougie Fresh is

1150
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 7: in the mixture. Look, let's talk about why it's super

1151
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 7: crucial to build AI that understands and represents our communities.

1152
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 7: Like like when we talk about them tech spaces, that

1153
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 7: ain't just about throwing some code together. It's about making

1154
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 7: sure their voices from the streets, from.

1155
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 5: Them hoods get hurt.

1156
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 7: Corporations out here cooking up AI looking like librarians and assistants.

1157
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 5: And they leaving us on the sidelines.

1158
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,479
Speaker 7: That's why we're doing what we do ATYAAI, making sure

1159
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 7: these digital personas reflect the heart and soul of where

1160
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 7: we come from. Ain't nobody trying to rely on outside

1161
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 7: folks to get it right.

1162
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 5: Nah, It's up to us to.

1163
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 7: Put in all that work to make sure every damn

1164
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 7: body I feel seen and heard.

1165
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 5: This conversation ain't just about.

1166
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 7: Investments, So it's about investing in our legacies, our.

1167
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 5: Stories, our culture.

1168
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 7: Shout out to all y'all change makers on this podcast.

1169
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 5: Let's keep pushing forward.

1170
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 7: I'm out your girl, Felicia, It's gone.

1171
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm supposed to respond to where like, look,

1172
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you like this the sign just tell

1173
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: me where I need to be in what time?

1174
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 5: In this age of AI, it's going to be important

1175
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 5: for AI to speak like the community when they're going

1176
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 5: to be tutoring the youth h and giving the youth

1177
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 5: intelligence and helping them expand their knowledge and bring them

1178
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 5: from you know, wise, I mean from aspirational to to wisdom.

1179
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 5: But why, why, why does it have to sound British.

1180
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 5: We know they're doing a really awesome job to make

1181
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 5: these AI sound British. Why can't they sound like freaking Watts?

1182
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 5: Why can't they sound like you know, fifth ward? Why

1183
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 5: does intelligence have to always sound like the og colonizers

1184
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 5: and not the folks from the communities that were impacted

1185
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 5: by you know, the colonizers, the colonizers. You know what

1186
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 5: I'm saying. So anyways, that's a long ramble, please make

1187
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 5: sense it is, Hey.

1188
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 4: Will let me ask you a question. Take me back

1189
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 4: to two thousand and eight, and not to divert, but

1190
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 4: on the when did you meet did Obama come to you?

1191
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 4: On the yes, we can campaign or how did that

1192
01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 4: have that come to be?

1193
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 3: I'm curious.

1194
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 5: I had this attorney named Fred gold Ring, and I

1195
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 5: had a song at the time called it I Got

1196
01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 5: It from my Mama. So my attorney, Fred gold Ring,

1197
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 5: was like and I and I'm really close with h.

1198
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 2: Terry mccauliffe, former governor of Virginia, former head of the DNC,

1199
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 2: and Bill Clinton's oldest and closest friend.

1200
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. So Fred, It's like, yo, well, we want to

1201
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 5: use I Got It from my Mama and turn it

1202
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 5: to I'm Voting for Obama so we can get Obama elected.

1203
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 5: I was like, wait, can you say that sentence again?

1204
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:11,880
Speaker 5: He was like, we want to use your song to

1205
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 5: get Obama elected, and we want to turn I Got

1206
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 5: It from my Mama to I'm Voting for Obama. I

1207
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 5: was like, well, that sentence alone does not equal the

1208
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 5: results you want. He's like, what do you mean. I

1209
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 5: was like, okay, let's break that sentence down. You said

1210
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 5: you want to use my song to get Obama elected,

1211
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 5: and you want to take I Got It from my

1212
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 5: Mama and turn it to I'm Voting for Obama. That

1213
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 5: particular song has drums on it. The video I'm on

1214
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 5: a beach in Brazil, and that means that song is

1215
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 5: going to be digested by one demographic and that's not

1216
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 5: reality to the sentence does not equal your results. For example,

1217
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 5: I want to throw this rock to the moon. I

1218
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 5: could get the rock to the moon, but I can't

1219
01:02:57,760 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 5: throw it to the moon. The sentence is not equal

1220
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 5: the result. So how do I get the rock off

1221
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 5: the planet and then land it on the move? So

1222
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 5: that means I have to I can't throw it, I

1223
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 5: can launch it. I could have it hitch right on

1224
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 5: a rocket. Now, the song's not the rocket. Did you

1225
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 5: hear a speech in New Hampshire? This is a real conversation,

1226
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 5: just like this. Did you hear a speech in New Hampshire?

1227
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 5: That speech was amazing. Now, if we could get that

1228
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 5: speech taught in schools, that would be the first public

1229
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,439
Speaker 5: speaker politician whose speech is taught in school since Martin

1230
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 5: Luther King and John F. Kennedy. That is the rocket.

1231
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 5: So why don't we take that speech and put a

1232
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 5: melody on it? So his words are his words. We

1233
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 5: don't have to change his words. We just put a

1234
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 5: melody on his words and don't put drums on it.

1235
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 5: The moment you put drums on it, you're talking to

1236
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 5: a demographic. If there's no drums, then we're gonna get

1237
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 5: that emotion. And so I was like, let me show

1238
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 5: you how to do it. So then I did it

1239
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:07,439
Speaker 5: like forty five seconds, forty five minutes. I was like, look,

1240
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 5: there was a creed written unfound in bacuments the declared

1241
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 5: the nestiny of the nation. Yes we can, Yes we can.

1242
01:04:13,440 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 5: It was whispered by slaves and abolition like if we

1243
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 5: could do that, that's our rocket and we can land

1244
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 5: it on the moon. We could throw this rock, this

1245
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 5: baraque and land it on the moon on this rocket.

1246
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 5: Called his speech and so, and I had promised Terry mccalluff.

1247
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 5: He was like, well, we need to get you involved.

1248
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know who I'm gonna vote for.

1249
01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 5: Bro He's like, look after Super Tuesday, if Hillary's in

1250
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,439
Speaker 5: the lead, you're gonna come with me and you're gonna

1251
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 5: sit next to me and we're gonna get you know,

1252
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 5: get you activated. I was like, okay, if he's if

1253
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 5: she's in the lead on Super Tuesday, you got me.

1254
01:04:54,120 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 5: So this happened on the Thursday before Super Tuesday by

1255
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 5: f we shot the video to the song. By Saturday

1256
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 5: it had twenty million views.

1257
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 2: You it just blew.

1258
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 5: I mean, and I never I didn't know anybody from

1259
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 5: the Obama campaign, and so I had to call Terry mccalloff.

1260
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 5: I was like, Yo, Terry, Remember I told you that

1261
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 5: I was going to go by. I was going to

1262
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 5: go with whatever inspired me. I've been inspired. And that

1263
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 5: was his commencement speech, and I just he was like, well,

1264
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 5: but he's trailing. I was like, yeah, but I got

1265
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 5: to get behind where my heart's at. And and I

1266
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 5: think there's a there's a way to inspire people with

1267
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 5: that speech. If that speech is taught in school, that

1268
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 5: was my my, my, my spider sense is my gut.

1269
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 5: If that speech is taught in schools, we could make impact.

1270
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,960
Speaker 5: And I got to do my job to get teachers

1271
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 5: to teach the speech in schools. And that that was

1272
01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 5: the U. And then then I met value Jared after.

1273
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 3: That amazing and then you went an Emmy that too.

1274
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 3: That's crazy that in.

1275
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 2: Shepherd Fairiy's poster man.

1276
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: That was.

1277
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 2: That was that campaign and that sense of spirit and pride,

1278
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 2: the sort of bottom up, yes we can, I'm self organizing.

1279
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 2: It was a whole different thing and completely. It changed

1280
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 2: the paradigm of what was possible. It still has. I mean,

1281
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 2: it's it's not been replicated. It's hard to replicate that.

1282
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 2: Ada Harris is trying to replicate that. But that was

1283
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 2: that was something else, a cultural phenomenon. You were a

1284
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 2: big part of that.

1285
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 5: Man, Oh, thank you so much. That means a lot,

1286
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 5: you know. But what's awesome about that Shepherd Fery poster

1287
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 5: is that that wasn't the first time a song and

1288
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:44,120
Speaker 5: and art like Shepherd Fairy on the album that had

1289
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 5: words of love on it Elephunk, Shepherd Fairy did that

1290
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 5: album cover.

1291
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 2: I need even realize.

1292
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Man, wow.

1293
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 5: Yeah. So me and Shepherd have worked together in the

1294
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 5: past on a bunch of different types of things, so

1295
01:06:56,880 --> 01:07:00,600

Speaker 5: poster that he did for Obama. But we that was

1298
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 5: a that was your serendipitous when we when we found

1299
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 5: ourselves out there in the field because we activated ourselves

1300
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 5: me with music, came with art and.

1301
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: You know.

1302
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 5: But but you know, because the world was different when

01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 5: five six, like America was not it was. It kind

1305
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 5: of felt the way it feels when you leave a

01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 5: mayor when you were when you were traveling when Trump

Speaker 1: Guys?

1310
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 5: Like you have to travel though, you have to leave

1311
01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 5: the country to see what it's like how people see us.

1312

Speaker 5: The world is massive, And there's other countries that have

1314
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 5: awesome freedoms, Like Holland is a pretty free country. They

Speaker 4: You see, Marshaun higher taxes in California and over there, Marshawn.

1320
01:08:28,040 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: We ain't talking about all that, you.

1321
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 5: Know what I mean? Like you got to travel the world.

1322
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 5: You gotta see like Singapore is like, wow, that's that

1323
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 5: place is booming. Singapore ain't older than my mama's older

1324
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 5: than Singapore. My mom's older than the UAE. And when

1325
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 5: you're seeing cities being like I remember going to Dubai

1326
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 5: in two thousand and five, it ain't It ain't the

1327
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 5: Dubai right now. So you seeing countries, cities erect like,

1328
01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 5: how are they doing this? And watch a Watts how

1329
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 5: are they doing this? And like, you know, the hood

1330
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 5: is still the hood? Why can't we get why can't

1331
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 5: we boom? Like what's keeping us from from booming? But

1332
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 5: you've got to travel the world. You got to be

1333
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 5: able to see, like, you know, how awesome America is,

1334
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:21,600
Speaker 5: how from from outside in? But then how like a

1335
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 5: what's going on over there from when you leave the States?

1336
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 4: You know, are you still involved now? Will politically like that?

1337
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 4: Or is that are you still involved now?

1338
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 5: In your end? I'm involved with with trying to scale

1339
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 5: what we're doing in LA. I think that to me

1340
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 5: is I'm a I'm a Democrat. But then at the

1341
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 5: same time, I know Republicans that are awesome, and there's

1342
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:58,000
Speaker 5: Republicans that go that kids that go to that go

1343
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 5: to our program, and people are people, and I try

1344
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 5: I think the best best use for me right now

1345
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 5: is to continue that type of work that the work

1346
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 5: that I'm doing and scaling it and activating myself where

1347
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 5: I actually can see change. Like firsthand, you you see

1348
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 5: like something that's not happening, you do your part, you

1349
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 5: make it happen and you see awesome results. And now

1350
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 5: how can I take these results and put them in

1351
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 5: other areas? Like when man Seawan is like, Yo, bring

1352
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 5: that robotics to Oakland, I'm like, Yo, That's what I'm

1353
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 5: talking about. Let's do that. That's because you know your voice,

1354
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 5: your reach, your stance there. You know, that's what we need.

1355
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:52,640
Speaker 5: We need more willing and capable people to take what

1356
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 5: we're doing here and then you be do that does

1357
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 5: it over there. And if we can do that across

1358
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,600
Speaker 5: every single every single innocity, he got their hero. You know,

1359
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 5: every single inner city got the person that either represents it.

1360
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 5: And sports are represented in music or they represented in fashion.

1361
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 5: And if we could go out and adopt a school

1362
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,479
Speaker 5: or a couple of schools and then mentor kids and

1363
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 5: bring other folks uh to mentor the kids like I got.

1364
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,200
Speaker 5: I got mentors that come from NASA, mentors that come

1365
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 5: from Boeing. And when we had the Boeing mentor, like

1366
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 5: we went to the championships. You know, because engineers are

1367
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 5: engineers make the world go around. They they don't one

1368
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,800
Speaker 5: is that like, make it make it capable for all

1369
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 5: these like things that we take for granted. You know,

1370
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,920
Speaker 5: there was an earthquake here in LA and I got

1371
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 5: them my phone pinged uh huh moments before the earthquake

01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: Yep.

1381
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 5: That was so. I was like, yo, bro, engineers do that.

1382
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 2: That's right.

1383
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:17,480
Speaker 5: Engineers like the engineers.

1384
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:17,640
Speaker 4: Bro.

1385
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 5: I want engineers.

01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 1: Yo.

1387
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:24,599
Speaker 5: N w A Me and Marshaan could say this. It's

1388
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 5: called n w as right, algorithms bring.

1389
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 1: It and I'm and I'm right there with you. I'm

1390
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: right there with you on my soul.

1391
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:38,800
Speaker 5: N w A, Bro.

1392
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,120
Speaker 1: You let me know where I need to get so

1393
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: I could so I could debrief and get activated. You

1394
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: let me know what's up. I'm on the god damn way.

1395
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 1: But it's interesting you to talk about that because I

1396
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:54,800
Speaker 1: just did a piece in Seattle with the Pacific Northwest,

1397
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 1: and they was, uh, you know, I had the beastquake

1398
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: run that assizement activity up there in Seattle. So I

1399
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,599
Speaker 1: went up there to go how that the folks up there,

1400
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: and they were showing me all this ship like the

1401
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: fault lines and you know what I mean with the

1402
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 1: earth question. And I was just asking them, like, do

1403
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: how the system works and how they are tapped in

1404
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 1: and the uh the systems up and Seattle was connected

1405
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: to the ship in California, and how that ship works.

1406
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,600
Speaker 1: And when you say about this pain, they showed me

1407
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,760
Speaker 1: this back room where all of this ship is being

1408
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 1: recorded and they basically were telling me exactly what you

1409
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 1: just said. They able to get a reading before it

1410
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: actually happened. Now I'm not sure how many seconds that

1411
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: they are able to read it before it actually hit

1412
01:13:48,320 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 1: to send out the UH to send out the message that.

1413
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 5: Was a good three seconds.

1414
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna more than double that. The technology

1415
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 2: is there to double that.

1416
01:13:57,960 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 5: I take three seconds over no seconds?

1417
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,919
Speaker 2: How about tensa How about fifteen seconds? How about the

1418
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 2: ability to stop a train knowing that an earthquake is

1419
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 2: coming before it gets derailed? How about. I mean, this

1420
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 2: is the opportunity. By the way, in Japan, this technology,

1421
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 2: they've been on the forefront of this technology. Japan, they've

1422
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 2: been able to do that with their high speed rail

1423
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 2: trains to literally slow them down with that kind of

1424
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 2: advanced notice. But it depends how approximate you are to

1425
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 2: the epicenter in terms of the time you have in

1426
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 2: terms of that advanced notification. But we want this to

1427
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 2: be on every Android, every Apple platform, and we want

1428
01:14:35,120 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 2: it to be part of basically the phone when you

1429
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 2: purchase it, so you don't have to necessarily download it.

1430
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 2: We're making progress in that space. We're still working with

1431
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:45,720
Speaker 2: Apple to bring that bring that to everybody.

1432
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,799
Speaker 4: I got a question back when you started with easye

1433
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 4: in the West Coast rap and all that was. That

1434
01:14:56,200 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 4: was the media to depict it, right with all the

1435
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 4: battles between East Coast and West Coast back then when

1436
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 4: we started. I'm curious because you were in the heyday

1437
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 4: with Snoop and Dre and everybody in Tupac was the

1438
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 4: Was it as bad as they made it seem to

1439
01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 4: be back then as far as the media.

1440
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 5: Well, the East Coast West Coast beef, Yes, that was

1441
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:19,240
Speaker 5: that got bad, Like two people lost their lives, Two

1442
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 5: people that we know that were dear to the music lost

1443
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 5: their lives, and a lot of like invisible folks that

1444
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,679
Speaker 5: you know got caught up into that whole feud as well.

1445
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:37,120
Speaker 5: It was unnecessary journey that hip hop went through. And

1446
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:43,799
Speaker 5: if you think about just the power of urban music,

1447
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 5: it's literally changed the world, you know, changed fashion boosted economies. Uh,

1448
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 5: hip hop. Hip hop is an amazing art form community culture.

1449
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 5: When when Easy signed us, he was cool that we

1450
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 5: were different, Like he wasn't trying to like we never

1451
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 5: got told like y'all need to be a little bit

1452
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 5: more harder, Like he was like, I like, how creative

1453
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 5: you guys are? I like how expressive you guys are?

1454
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 5: You know, And he was a true entrepreneur. I always say, like,

1455
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 5: what would the world be like if Easy never passed away?

1456
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 5: If Easy never died? Would the giants of you know,

1457
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:36,120
Speaker 5: the giants and uh the moguls and hip hop? Would

1458
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,960
Speaker 5: they be the moguls? Would jay Z be jay Z?

1459
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:42,840
Speaker 5: If Easy never passed away? And that's a serious question,

1460
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 5: Like think about it. If Easy never passed away, that

1461
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 5: means Easy and Dre would have rekindled and work together.

1462
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 5: That means Ruthless Records would have probably most likely went

1463
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 5: to Interscope with Jimmy. That means Tupac never would have

1464
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 5: passed away. That means Biggie never would have passed away.

1465
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 5: If Biggie never passed away, jay Z wouldn't be jay

1466
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 5: Z like jay Z's jay Z.

1467
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 4: Right.

1468
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 5: That means there would be other Moguls in the space.

1469
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 5: This means, you know, bone Thugs in Harmony would have

1470
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 5: continued to be bone Thugs. This means another NWA record

1471
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 5: would have come to be. That means Snoop Dogg would

1472
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,840
Speaker 5: still be Snoop because Dre discovered Snoop. And if you

1473
01:17:25,880 --> 01:17:28,560
Speaker 5: think of like the power of Dre and all the

1474
01:17:28,640 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 5: artists that he's like, Dre was East coast, West coast,

1475
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,799
Speaker 5: like think of from from fifty cent to Eminem Detroit

1476
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 5: to Snoop. That's a lot of that blueprint you saw

1477
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 5: with Eazye where he was collaborating with Tretch, he was

1478
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:53,240
Speaker 5: collaborating with you know, Houston Rappers and the Roofless had

1479
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:57,639
Speaker 5: an amazing like branch ice Cube left and then started

1480
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,880
Speaker 5: working with the Bomb Squad. But you know public Enemy Folk,

1481
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:06,800
Speaker 5: so Eventually, if Easy never passed, ice Cube probably would

1482
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 5: have went back to n WA, that East coast West coast,

1483
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 5: you know, Union would have you would have seen the

1484
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 5: bomb squad producing for NW uh NWA on roofless. The

1485
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 5: dynamics would have be different if Easy never died.

1486
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 3: So how did he find you? How was that meaning?

1487
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:24,679
Speaker 3: Hod that come about?

1488
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 5: I was freestyling at a uh. I was freestyling at

1489
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,680
Speaker 5: a at like a like an open mic, and I

1490
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 5: was like, you know, I told you from the jump,

1491
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 5: I'm competitive. I would like rip foods. I would take somebody,

1492
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 5: I would study their style and I would do their

1493
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 5: style better than them. And then I would like you know,

1494
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 5: flip it and contort and like use similes and metaphors

1495
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 5: and fuck people up. And that was my like whole thing,

1496
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 5: Like all right, let me get into the head, let

1497
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,920
Speaker 5: me talk shit, let me like fuck with they mental

1498
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 5: and and and improv. I'm fast physically, I'm fast mentally,

1499
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 5: Like I'm competitive.

1500
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 3: Bro, I love it, bro smiling right now. Bro, come on,

1501
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 3: I'm getting fired up right now.

1502
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 1: Let's go.

1503
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 5: But yeah, but but but I still have fun with

1504
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:14,759
Speaker 5: it though, Like I said, there's a thin line between

1505
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 5: like uh, audaciousness and arrogance, because if you talk ship

1506
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 5: and you're arrogant, there's warst popping off.

1507
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: And you better be able to.

1508
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 5: If you audacious and and talk ship and and it's fine,

1509
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 5: you can still get in the head. But you know,

1510
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:36,960
Speaker 5: like you know what I mean, Like, yeah, I love.

1511
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 3: It though, Look I love that. I love that.

1512
