Speaker 1: Watch up and welcome back to another episode of No
Speaker 1: Saless Podcast with your hosts now fuck that with your
Speaker 1: load glasses, Malone.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not the mic, right. What it is is.
Speaker 1: So the whole point is your interface. Don't do nothing
Speaker 1: but convert your microphone to like a language that your
Speaker 1: computer can read. That's all your interface does. It's not
Speaker 1: the microphone. It's really just the interface, right.
Speaker 3: So the interface doesn't need a need a device to
Speaker 3: plug into like, so it works like mic interface computer.
Speaker 3: It can just be computer interface computer, well.
Speaker 1: Like minees right, like at home, Like right now, I'm
Speaker 1: using the zoom Age six and it's an interface, but
Speaker 1: it has MIC inputs only.
Speaker 2: So in theory, I don't need nothing. I could plug a.
Speaker 1: I could put a flash drive inside of it, right,
Speaker 1: and then plug mics into it and just do my
Speaker 1: podcast with just this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, two mics and a and a flash drive.
Speaker 3: But but he needs a mic, like he can't just
Speaker 3: have an interface sitting by itself, right, No.
Speaker 2: We got a mic. His mic is plugged into his interface,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But what happens is when he changed the audio, when
Speaker 1: he puts his idio, you know what I mean from
Speaker 1: stream Yard onto his interface that automatically disposal the fact
Speaker 1: that his the fact Streamyard is picking up his interface.
Speaker 2: Says a lot.
Speaker 1: So it's really something simple between a microphone and the interface.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he said he might need a podcast mic,
Speaker 3: I thought he didn't have a mic. He just had
Speaker 3: a computer and an interface.
Speaker 2: Now you're my microphone over here, gotcha? When you were
Speaker 2: just talking, was you talking into your microphone?
Speaker 4: No, I'm talking into the computer mic.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. When you were just checking
Speaker 1: your interface? Now because I said snap, it was.
Speaker 2: You snapping in front of it? Nope? Nope. So then yeah,
Speaker 2: it could be working, but you just try one more time, like,
Speaker 2: but bring your mic to you and see if that helps,
Speaker 2: because you gotta talk to the microphone.
Speaker 4: Oh see if that.
Speaker 1: Helped, because if very if you if stream Yard cousins
Speaker 1: picking up your interface, you know what I'm saying, then
Speaker 1: at that point it's really the conversation between your microphone
Speaker 1: and your interface. Yeah, so that should really work.
Speaker 3: Is there something where like the channel the interfaces on
Speaker 3: it might not be matching the input where the MIC's
Speaker 3: plugged into.
Speaker 2: It could be that it could be that it could
Speaker 2: be that. I don't really know. But what I do
Speaker 2: is because I'm gonna just come over there, Joey one,
Speaker 2: like in the next like six days and really just
Speaker 2: make it to where you can actually where you could.
Speaker 1: Actually just do this from here on now, because you
Speaker 1: could do way like. I think this is the future
Speaker 1: for any person looking to be in any level of entertainment,
Speaker 1: you know, having setups at home that you could use
Speaker 1: and do all your interviews.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you got it. Yeah today, yeah't.
Speaker 2: Be out there. I think people finna get rid of
Speaker 2: brick and mortars altogether. Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Happening So right now, I got I got Atlanta coming
Speaker 1: up right December. In December, and I'm stopping at all
Speaker 1: these places with radio, podcasts, TV shows, video shows.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe some meetings.
Speaker 1: But thinking about five years that should have been done,
Speaker 1: I think technology or chets up and you'll be able
Speaker 1: to have visuals so fucking crisp on your computer and
Speaker 1: on your phone that people won't just invest in productions
Speaker 1: like that for this type of medium, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean to deliver this type of content.
Speaker 4: Don't think that will take away from it though, I
Speaker 4: mean I mean, it's just what it is at this point.
Speaker 2: It's just evolved.
Speaker 3: If you don't know.
Speaker 1: About We use the term evolution because evolution kind of
Speaker 1: signifies Evolution signifies a necessary need to survive, like a
Speaker 1: change that is made in regards to survive.
Speaker 2: I think convenience because becomes the uh.
Speaker 1: It, convenience becomes Convenience is also the killer of quality
Speaker 1: for sure. So but again I think as the world
Speaker 1: that just as a standard becomes lower quality, it just
Speaker 1: won't matter like that, just won't matter like that. So
Speaker 1: but I know that just like any feeling, because that
Speaker 1: the centerpiece of you know, even cinematography to me is audio.
Speaker 1: That's where you get the professional quality because cinematography itself,
Speaker 1: the way films look be all different. You can look
Speaker 1: at Traffic, the movie Traffic, or look at certain films
Speaker 1: they'll have all kind of looks and ideas the way
Speaker 1: you see them. But the most professional films, the sound
Speaker 1: is what's really the most professional part. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a level of editing that happens, but even in that's
Speaker 1: more style. Sound is probably the one thing I don't
Speaker 1: think you could really fuck with, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: motherfuckers need to hear some shit correctly.
Speaker 3: And I think honestly, like the way that you'll be
Speaker 3: able to digitally store and observe sound through which is
Speaker 3: just the case now. I mean, like if you were
Speaker 3: a crack open the code on, like what's really going
Speaker 3: on with the audio that's gonna get streamlined and edited
Speaker 3: and really really perfected quite efficiently with AI stuff. The
Speaker 3: ai'll be able to pick up like what's background versus
Speaker 3: what's for a ground, what's static first? Not like and
Speaker 3: it'll just just clean all that right out.
Speaker 2: For sure, but but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but even now it'll take echoes just right
Speaker 3: on out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got that now.
Speaker 1: Like if you look at some of the options and
Speaker 1: stream yards, because they have echo cancelation, they got background cancelation,
Speaker 1: they got a grip of dope ass shit, it ain't
Speaker 1: no plump, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, so shut out the stream yard. Cuse.
Speaker 1: But because this is a real podcast, I don't really
Speaker 1: do a visual component for the most part till we get,
Speaker 1: you know, better, Like we've been talking about doing more
Speaker 1: stuff visual.
Speaker 2: We just got to figure it out.
Speaker 1: The right way to where to me is as creative
Speaker 1: as the ship were talking about, Like we can't have this.
Speaker 4: Kind of.
Speaker 2: Lame standard. Look you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Can I set my stuff out on the balcony and
Speaker 3: and and have a cigar with this?
Speaker 2: It has to be like that. Yeah, I think we
Speaker 2: got that would be excellent.
Speaker 3: I would be doing podcasts all day long.
Speaker 1: But what's Crainy is right, is like we're working on
Speaker 1: a film, right, so counsel these nothing now that it's
Speaker 1: like and we sixty days in, like we're going into
Speaker 1: like we're in the second quarter of the marketing level
Speaker 1: right up the whole life of it, as far as
Speaker 1: the marketing from our perspective as a label. And we're
Speaker 1: working on this film called fed Up Righting Me and
Speaker 1: still been writing on it, like.
Speaker 3: The role of every white character in the in the feature,
Speaker 3: like I just keep popping up the new outfits throughout.
Speaker 1: That would be good, but no, we was working on it.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because like we can shoot the dead
Speaker 1: movie on our phone, and we was talking about like
Speaker 1: we could literally get two fucking iPhones with a steady
Speaker 1: cam and a couple jims and a couple zooms and
Speaker 1: shoot the film. But the problem is, like I gotta
Speaker 1: talk to Sega because like to me, that's the catch.
Speaker 1: You gotta have the right sound guy, and that's gonna
Speaker 1: determine if your film comes across profession.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because was Redd was gonna make a cell phone.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 3: They did make a cell phone, but they outsourced the camera,
Speaker 3: so everybody was like, well, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 3: So like, okay, okay, okay, you caught us, We're gonna
Speaker 3: make a new one with our own fully vertically integrated
Speaker 3: camera in the phone. And right before it's suposed to
Speaker 3: like finally be done, they switched CEOs and he canceled
Speaker 3: the whole project.
Speaker 2: He was more stupid ass ship stupid ass.
Speaker 3: Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I just I just think.
Speaker 1: I mean, I fucked with the whole cameras and fine things.
Speaker 1: I just don't believe it's the smartest thing in the world.
Speaker 3: We'll probably not.
Speaker 1: As far as the chasing eyes from people got to
Speaker 1: stop chasing eyePhone, people got to stop chasing but her.
Speaker 2: But side note, cud, did you see the ship?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: You see t I got that new apartment show that
Speaker 2: you see that?
Speaker 4: Is it a show or a movie? It's like a movie.
Speaker 4: I think it is, Yes, it's a movie called The Apartments. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I haven't watched it yet. It looked like the previews
Speaker 4: kind of made me feel like it was probably funny.
Speaker 2: It gotta be good.
Speaker 1: I mean, I really didn't get into ATL like that.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to ATM like that. I really didn't
Speaker 1: watch that anytime. I knew that, and it was kind
Speaker 1: of corny.
Speaker 3: It was that well, it was interestingly.
Speaker 4: I'm cet I skating that shit is crazy?
Speaker 2: Can you skate? I mean, all the land of the niggas?
Speaker 4: I'm like, is this nigga grown or is he a kid?
Speaker 3: All the other actors that were corny in it, like
Speaker 3: all of his friends were corny as shit.
Speaker 1: I didn't every time I try to sit down and
Speaker 1: watch it, it just be corny as fuck because I cannot.
Speaker 3: Fuck with a lot of people watched it and they
Speaker 3: love anything. Oh I think people, I was the best
Speaker 3: actor of the film. Are you fucking kidding me?
Speaker 2: Kidding me?
Speaker 3: Have pro actors?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 3: As to the actors looked like fucking idiots other than
Speaker 3: that girl's dad, who was an actual actor who did
Speaker 3: a good job. All the dress always mean yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean I like that mean mean sells with me,
Speaker 3: No syllis gl.
Speaker 1: On timing with my brother, Peter, Pete whatever, my man
Speaker 1: Joey Westside from the La Giants.
Speaker 2: Ironically, we got you.
Speaker 1: I always thought this would be a good conversation because
Speaker 1: me and Pete don't got no kids.
Speaker 3: This is true.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I know about t I and this a little.
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing about the thing about is we
Speaker 5: don't never talk specifically about one thing because we don't like,
Speaker 5: we don't this ain't the uh, this ain't the view.
Speaker 2: We don't talk.
Speaker 1: Everywhere, So we have to wrap a lot of the
Speaker 1: ideas we want to talk about into greater conversations, like
Speaker 1: about period in general. Right, And we just happened to
Speaker 1: start with King and TV. They just they kind of
Speaker 1: start where we're going into conversation. But that's not really
Speaker 1: what this podcast about. It's about just parenting in general.
Speaker 1: And I think it's dope that me and Pete got
Speaker 1: pure takes on paring, like we have honest and logical
Speaker 1: takes because there's no emotion. But obviously having a kid
Speaker 1: makes you feel different about parenting for sure, So we
Speaker 1: can ask your opinion.
Speaker 2: Come to kids, you do, yeah, because you you really
Speaker 2: start selling out all that.
Speaker 4: Man, you start doing shit that's probably you think that's
Speaker 4: good for you. And then but I feel like I
Speaker 4: should do this like Christmas gifts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you all were you like at a point like
Speaker 3: coming up where you were like, man, I don't never
Speaker 3: have much. By the time he was six, it was
Speaker 3: just right there, just to.
Speaker 4: Well, I got a daughter, so okayhead, I wouldn't know,
Speaker 4: but I'm pretty sure. I mean I watched my brother
Speaker 4: say certain ship that he would never do, and he
Speaker 4: you know, he can look like a liar at this point,
Speaker 4: but he just didn't know.
Speaker 2: He just didn't know no better.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he thought he thought he would do things or
Speaker 4: not do things because he was speaking from a place
Speaker 4: of ignorance.
Speaker 2: You know about that.
Speaker 4: So but you know, when you're young and you rebellious,
Speaker 4: see your dad or your your uncles or your OG's
Speaker 4: be said things like this is gonna happen, This's gonna
Speaker 4: happen because they didn't already experience it and seeing it.
Speaker 4: But she'd be like, I ain't gonna be like that,
Speaker 4: like I'm gonna do it this way.
Speaker 2: It's like you don't know what you're gonna do until
Speaker 2: you live in it. Then you start living it.
Speaker 4: It's like damn and.
Speaker 2: That wasna, Yeah you did on what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: He was just saying, like, was I ever?
Speaker 4: Was I ever the person that was like I never
Speaker 4: do this with my son or in front of my
Speaker 4: son or whatever. But I don't have a son. But
Speaker 4: I watch my brother say things to my pops and like, upples,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like I never do that.
Speaker 2: I never do that.
Speaker 3: And it's like you're.
Speaker 4: Doing what you said you would never do, my nigga,
Speaker 4: but he didn't know no better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but y'all, y'all got a river. Also, like y'all
Speaker 1: were parents. Hella young, I mean not not crazy young,
Speaker 1: you know, not not project young. I'm like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, that is pretty young to have
Speaker 1: a kid. Yeah, so a lot of things.
Speaker 2: That you know, like your kids to some degree.
Speaker 1: I guess if you had a kid at eighteen nineteen twenty,
Speaker 1: your kids was raised.
Speaker 2: With you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I know that sounds crazy because like I'll be thinking
Speaker 1: about twenty today, Like I look at kids twenty today
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, they act like little.
Speaker 2: Kids at twenty today. But then I think about kennots
Speaker 2: that was twenty.
Speaker 1: When I was twenty, you seemed to be growner and
Speaker 1: more dope. Huh Yeah, But nigga, let's go back to
Speaker 1: the sixties. Like, if you was twenty in the sixties,
Speaker 1: you probably had already worked for five years.
Speaker 2: You built up some pension your life. You're sure you
Speaker 2: probably was married.
Speaker 3: You was making on a housing on your.
Speaker 2: House, yummy goates and shit. Yes, say I was receiving already.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd already been to Warren back seeing the world.
Speaker 2: That's why I was saying.
Speaker 1: I was tripping off this conversation we was having yesterday
Speaker 1: on the Clubhouse with the Homi Trap Brash Show.
Speaker 2: Shout out to Trap in the whole ady HD room.
Speaker 1: But it was funny to me because we were talking
Speaker 1: about they were talking about Luke and they were talking
Speaker 1: about Gloria Valez, Right, was it that z? Yeah, And
Speaker 1: you know, Joey, people hate when I talk about this, right,
Speaker 1: But like, I can't help but be logical in approach,
Speaker 1: and it's people be like, well, that's because you're not
Speaker 1: a parent. It's like, look, I'm not saying something is
Speaker 1: right or wrong. I'm just saying right. So the whole thing.
Speaker 2: With Luke and Gloria. But les is Gloria is coming
Speaker 2: out now, Minu.
Speaker 1: She had a baby with Aaron halwhen she was like
Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen or something, and.
Speaker 3: You're talking like like Uncle Luke.
Speaker 2: Who knew?
Speaker 1: She said Ouncle Luke was grooming her at sixteen, and
Speaker 1: so I seen Luke respond to that. He was like,
Speaker 1: I just figured out what grooming was, and everybody he
Speaker 1: knew what it was. And I was thinking, like man
Speaker 1: nigga from Florida, that nigga, he's probably he probably did
Speaker 1: not know with groomy.
Speaker 3: And I also at to borrow with him at she five,
Speaker 3: and I wanted to go say what's up to him?
Speaker 3: But I didn't want to be that like corny ass stude.
Speaker 2: To go by the big guy Lucas a card and less.
Speaker 2: So I don't know who you is. I know who
Speaker 2: you so Luke so Lucas mad.
Speaker 1: But it was funny because I was having room and
Speaker 1: you know, obviously today is this real stanch moral positioning
Speaker 1: right about you know, how they feel about me and
Speaker 1: dealing with underage minors.
Speaker 2: And I'm saying to them.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, in the United States, like thirty plus
Speaker 1: states the legal age of consented sixteen. They're like, goss,
Speaker 1: come on with all that smart shit, and I'm like, Bro,
Speaker 1: you have to care about because you're right, you don't understand.
Speaker 1: Like this has always been my conversation, Bro, morality only
Speaker 1: comes from religion, underworld or laws. That creates morality for
Speaker 1: most people, except a couple of intelligent people.
Speaker 2: Who come up with their own morality.
Speaker 1: But for the sheet the herd itself religion, street life,
Speaker 1: or laws. So I was trying to tell them, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: in the nineties, the legal age of consent in Florida
Speaker 1: and some of those southern states was like thirteen and fourteen.
Speaker 4: That shit out.
Speaker 1: It sounds crazy because only because we in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2: I mean, it sounds crazy. In twenty twenty three growing up.
Speaker 3: I heard an interesting observation by this guy who was
Speaker 3: talking about well, anyway, always cut to the chase. In
Speaker 3: previous generations, like parents now are very very very risk
Speaker 3: averse with how they let their kids like go around
Speaker 3: town and all that kind of stuff, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, particularly like in the suburbs and stuff. Whereas
Speaker 3: in previous generation we had six, seven, eight kids, you
Speaker 3: lose one Eh, sucks, but eh, you lose you got
Speaker 3: one kid, you lose one. That's a bigger l man.
Speaker 4: You know what you know what's crazy is uh, I
Speaker 4: find myself being I remember growing up in you know,
Speaker 4: moms at work, pops doing what he's doing. He at work,
Speaker 4: you know, not there sometimes or whatever. But they never
Speaker 4: they never worried about us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they we.
Speaker 4: Stayed at home. That's what it was like. She didn't worry.
Speaker 1: You know, you just you was staying on your ass
Speaker 1: state outside. You been not bringing your fucking ass in here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like when she at work,
Speaker 4: she like we we at When I'm saying at home,
Speaker 4: I mean the outside in the house, she ain't calling
Speaker 4: and check all this and it's like I'm at work.
Speaker 4: My kids is straight. But we also grew up in
Speaker 4: a neighborhoodhood where your where your homies was like your family.
Speaker 4: So they know the neighbors. We know the neighbors. Everybody
Speaker 4: know each other. So they didn't worry about that. My
Speaker 4: dad didn't worry about that.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: I be man, My daughter go to her friend house
Speaker 4: and I'm calling, texting, I'm checking her location.
Speaker 2: All means all.
Speaker 4: These things that they gave us to make sure they're
Speaker 4: safe or whatever that you could use to make yourself
Speaker 4: feel like they safe, and I'd be I'd be worried, man,
Speaker 4: I just be over worried, Like damn, I can't even
Speaker 4: allow her to just you know, I don't want her
Speaker 4: to do that dumb but like she make a mistake
Speaker 4: or be responsible so I can trust it.
Speaker 2: I'm just own it. Yeah, wait, did you get there yet? Alright?
Speaker 4: For shure, I'm gonna call you in a minute. And
Speaker 4: my mind and dad to do none of that shit.
Speaker 1: Parents today is we scared it hella puss a fine
Speaker 1: and I don't forgive me for y'all.
Speaker 2: And I got kid y'all.
Speaker 1: Y'all, y'all trying to like today is worse than we
Speaker 1: nigga when we grew up.
Speaker 2: It was way worse. It was way, way worse.
Speaker 1: Like everything about our childhood was really dangerous, Like you
Speaker 1: really might get shot in the drive outside, you really
Speaker 1: might get kidnapped by somebody in the van, like these
Speaker 1: were normal things that was happening, and that shit never
Speaker 1: Like guess what if you went outside at the nine
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, not bring your back, had your
Speaker 1: ass back in here before the street guys come on.
Speaker 1: But nigga, don't be in and about this mother fucker
Speaker 1: stay outside.
Speaker 4: You're in and out the house. Get your ass with me.
Speaker 2: That's great. Way here.
Speaker 1: I wish you want to be laying on the couch
Speaker 1: all day talking about Oh you on the phone.
Speaker 2: First off, you're blocking the phone line? Part two? Why
Speaker 2: the fuck is you in here? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true too. I feel like they're and I
Speaker 3: was kind of thinking about it as we were talking.
Speaker 3: There's an interesting, like almost paradox with parents now. It's like, Hey,
Speaker 3: a lot of parents that I watch, they don't want
Speaker 3: to do any parenting. They want to be the kid's
Speaker 3: best friend. And then on the flip side, they don't
Speaker 3: have any trust to let the kid go be out
Speaker 3: and about or whatever the hell and learn a lesson
Speaker 3: on their own. And I feel like, subconsciously, you don't
Speaker 3: saying you, Joe, I'm just saying like, yo, a lot
Speaker 3: of people in general, if you know you're doing a
Speaker 3: shitty job at parenting because all you want to do
Speaker 3: is be your kid's best friend, then you don't trust
Speaker 3: your kid because you don't trust the parenting that you
Speaker 3: did for your kid in real time passability.
Speaker 4: That could be true, I would not true.
Speaker 3: For a lot of girls I know, or at least
Speaker 3: I don't think now just to post them, yeah, just
Speaker 3: just to dress them up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's why you look in there and you
Speaker 1: be looking at niggas biyo and women biio.
Speaker 2: They be like, like.
Speaker 1: The greatest accomplishment is like mother of todd I'm like, how'
Speaker 1: gonna turn around.
Speaker 2: To be a serial killer?
Speaker 1: That's just your too in the case, And I don't
Speaker 1: forgive me, Like, ladies, I'm not talking about y'all. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that shouldn't be the crowning achievement of your life.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: That's not to say your kids shouldn't be important or
Speaker 1: or focused, but that shouldn't define your existence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Wrong, I'm not sure for a
Speaker 3: long time that kind of was. At least, if you're
Speaker 3: gonna say that the greatest accomplishment is your kids, at
Speaker 3: least your greatest accomplishment needs to be your kid's accomplishment,
Speaker 3: that not just their existence.
Speaker 1: That also, this is the thing, right, It is like
Speaker 1: back in the day, women would be proud to be
Speaker 1: somebody's wife.
Speaker 2: That was the crowning achievement. It wasn't the kids. The
Speaker 2: family set up was the crowning achievement.
Speaker 1: Socially, it wasn't just the two kids or three kids,
Speaker 1: mother of four that just don't look attractive, like wife
Speaker 1: of blah blah blah, not mother mother of ford.
Speaker 4: Looked like I seen the wife in the bio, you know,
Speaker 4: but a lot of them mad wives.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that that would be the greatest accom that
Speaker 1: used to be women's accomplishment.
Speaker 2: You mean wife of Robert Jr. M. You know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So it's just changed.
Speaker 1: But I was looking at the TS shit and it
Speaker 1: was crazy, right because like I'm watching this nigga and
Speaker 1: it looks like he's pushing his mom because and he
Speaker 1: talking about telling his mom he's standing on business. And
Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, like, Cluz, I wish I would
Speaker 1: have used slang in my mom. My mom would have
Speaker 1: knocked my motherfucking head off, Like I was like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mom washed up with that. She didn't even like nigga, what.
Speaker 4: She's gonna barn you out and put all your business
Speaker 4: because your mom know everything about you. First off, it
Speaker 4: wasn't no more there all the little boy shit you
Speaker 4: do around the crab. She's about to say it and
Speaker 4: let you know how much of a whole ass nigga.
Speaker 1: You Olivia six foot three hundred fans nigga. First off,
Speaker 1: it had been no right hand. First off, before she
Speaker 1: took my phone off the ground to drop me, she'd
Speaker 1: have took the phone like this little bitch ass nigga.
Speaker 2: Did you all to grab cloaths up right?
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I saw you on today, cousin
Speaker 1: on Instagram, Me like, yeah, you know these niggas better.
Speaker 1: You know, I stand on bidding nigga better stay out
Speaker 1: of my business. And I'm just thinking to myself, like
Speaker 1: for him to be saying, like what happened to where
Speaker 1: people are just ungrateful about their parents.
Speaker 4: I don't, I don't, I don't know where that. I
Speaker 4: don't know what come from, man.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 3: I think it comes from the fact, Like I'll go
Speaker 3: back to it. Parents have. There's been a slow linear
Speaker 3: decline in the degree to which parents adequately equip their
Speaker 3: kids with the tools to be upstanding and productive. So
Speaker 3: as they get older, they understand that there's a void
Speaker 3: of skills and tools and ship so they get rebellious
Speaker 3: because they're arnering and they feel like they're ill prepared
Speaker 3: for the world. So what can you do? You can
Speaker 3: just bitch and then the kids are gonna bitch at
Speaker 3: a certain age what they.

Speaker 3: problem with that. I think there's there's there's a there's
Speaker 3: a real I think I don't even think it's a
Speaker 3: fin line. I think there's a pretty big gap between
Speaker 3: like disciplining your kid and physically abusing and beating a
Speaker 3: ship out of your kid and turning your kid into
Speaker 3: dysfunction a socially dysfunctional, violent person. Those two things in
Speaker 3: the world apart.

Speaker 4: be hurt. I'll start taking the blame, like, damn.
Speaker 2: What what?
Speaker 4: What? What did I do or didn't do? Why would
Speaker 4: she make a decision, especially.
Speaker 3: Like like the Hilton, Dad, that's a brand name guy
Speaker 3: with a brand name family you don't really know. I
Speaker 3: mean like Karrent Ashley and yeah he was in good
Speaker 3: Lawyer whatnot. But that's not a name like Pow you
Speaker 3: know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You see held everywhere right next to this day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean she she damn near rebranded that whole
Speaker 3: hotel empire, like they might have well just changed the
Speaker 3: name of Snoopy Fox at that point.
Speaker 4: And you know what's crazy because I used to That's
Speaker 4: funny because I when I was young, I thought of
Speaker 4: the Hilton as being like this real luxurious hotel.
Speaker 2: Saying what it kind of was though, wasn't it.
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like, yeah, I feel like
Speaker 3: they're working.
Speaker 4: That ship is in days and now that's like the
Speaker 4: best resting they.
Speaker 3: Got, like the Hilton Gardens. Now they have like all
Speaker 3: sorts of tears.
Speaker 4: Like.
Speaker 3: Courtyard by Marriott.
Speaker 4: Then she tried to give me pull to a bye him, and.
Speaker 2: She didn't rebranded the Hill, which of the snowy fots
Speaker 2: I'm crying. She didn't rebranded the Hill into the Motel six.
Speaker 3: Shit. Man, I takes.
Speaker 2: Loud ass vents. Mm hmm, that's crazy. Yeah, I wouldn't know.
Speaker 4: I would be because you know what, as a parent, man,
Speaker 4: you kind of you pride yourself for your kids accomplishments.
Speaker 4: Like you know what I'm saying, Like, I remember my
Speaker 4: mom just always wanted us. She all she talked about
Speaker 4: was walking the stage. Walking the stage. You better walk
Speaker 4: that motherfucking stage. That's all I know, both of middle
Speaker 4: school or high school. You know what I'm saying, like,
Speaker 4: you better walk that stage. And I was I wasn't
Speaker 4: even worried about what I'm gonna do after school. I'm
Speaker 4: worried about just walking the stage and not embarrassing her
Speaker 4: more so than anything else.
Speaker 2: With a black community.
Speaker 1: Man and me and Pete talking about this all the time,
Speaker 1: I'd be telling him it'd be all about keeping your
Speaker 1: kids alive, out of jail and get them through high school.
Speaker 1: There's no thought of anything else after that. In the
Speaker 1: darkest parts of the culture and the darkest parts of
Speaker 1: that existed because college don't even seem like a real thing,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: They don't even seem like a real thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I find myself sometimes like, yeah, the college thing,
Speaker 4: like Man's I'll be telling my daughter, if you want
Speaker 4: to go, you know, just figure out what it is
Speaker 4: you want to do and do it. I'll be like,
Speaker 4: go for the bread, go for something that you know
Speaker 4: you're probably gonna enjoy, that's gonna pay you. If you're
Speaker 4: gonna go to school, get some money, Well, I think
Speaker 4: I go into business for yourself.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 4: I'm definitely not that person acting like entrepreneurship is just
Speaker 4: what everybody does now, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 4: you could just do it, be an entrepreneur. It's like
Speaker 4: it's that's a lot more tougher than what people believe
Speaker 4: because they looking at scammers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of ebentreneurs out there. Would you
Speaker 3: say I said there's a lot of e B treneurs
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 2: They're gonna get your ass.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 6: It is though, it is they scamming selling classes. Yeah,
Speaker 6: this nigga selling the classes. The nigga selling the class
Speaker 6: right now. Probably if you show you how to set
Speaker 6: up a stream yard?
Speaker 2: Is that really robbing day?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: What college do? We ain't saying, Robin, I was just
Speaker 2: talking about.
Speaker 4: It's just everybody like just talking about as far as
Speaker 4: my daughter, you know, trying to you know, encourage her
Speaker 4: to go to college or even if she want to
Speaker 4: just figure out her own business owner, you know, our
Speaker 4: own business. But I don't be preaching entrepreneurship like it's
Speaker 4: like it's just the grandest thing in the world.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, You do me about to
Speaker 2: be the kind of person making choice? Yeah, that got
Speaker 2: to be your thie.
Speaker 4: Because there's a boss. There's a false narrative about entrepreneurship
Speaker 4: out there because of scammers and he entrepreneurs.
Speaker 2: You know. But what's crazy is what Peter saying makes sense.
Speaker 1: Like when you're talking about the disappointment, the greatest disappointment
Speaker 1: for his parents was him not taking those last little
Speaker 1: classes getting that degree.
Speaker 2: It didn't matter where he ended up after that. It
Speaker 2: was like they felt like that was for them.
Speaker 3: Noah, No that I don't know. I think they just
Speaker 3: thought like there was a lot of contexts to that,
Speaker 3: Like I had been a giant disappointment like forever and
Speaker 3: then kind of had a brief window of redemption because
Speaker 3: I like.
Speaker 2: Why the hell did you become a how was you that? Forever?
Speaker 3: I always was a disappointment, So what you mean? I
Speaker 3: mean I've alway like not even landed with an earshot
Speaker 3: of expectations, you know. So the thing like with that
Speaker 3: that it was kind of one of those deals where
Speaker 3: I had like a little window of like redemption so
Speaker 3: to speak, after school because like I left call so
Speaker 3: that got hired for like a really good job that
Speaker 3: was probably on paper. I got that shit because I
Speaker 3: clobbered an interview, like I just like went through a
Speaker 3: series of interviews and just like ripped them up. So
Speaker 3: I got like a slew of job offers all at once.
Speaker 3: And it was a strong job market also, and I
Speaker 3: didn't really appreciate that aspect of it. And then the
Speaker 3: position got nixed from the company I was at the
Speaker 3: other positions that offered me before, those availables weren't there anymore.
Speaker 3: So I went from like having it all together to
Speaker 3: having it not all together. And I had gone online
Speaker 3: and spent money to enroll online, but I was working.
Speaker 3: I forgot like when schooled even started, Like I would
Speaker 3: figure out like two weeks in next thing, you know,
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, I'm guaranteed a D because I missed
Speaker 3: the whole first fucking everything for this class, and I'm
Speaker 3: just like, I'm just not gonna do this. I'm on
Speaker 3: academic probation now because I enrolled in school, paid for
Speaker 3: it twice, and it just like and forgot when school
Speaker 3: started because I'm like worried about other shit, right. So
Speaker 3: it was kind of one of those things where like
Speaker 3: you I was like twenty four and they were just
Speaker 3: like I think it was one of those deals when
Speaker 3: my dad just kind of looked at it like he
Speaker 3: just isn't isn't shit, isn't gonna be shit. It was
Speaker 3: more emblematic then they wanted me to have a degree.
Speaker 2: I wonder it was like white people not being shit.
Speaker 3: You're looking at it.
Speaker 2: That's a hell of a hide.
Speaker 3: Not shit, No, it's not. You just have a very
Speaker 3: narrow scope on this computer screen.
Speaker 4: Say we gotta follow him around with a camera one day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we fish eye lens this thing right here
Speaker 3: at the top of this laptop. He's real bad outside
Speaker 3: of this square, and I mean real bad. There's not
Speaker 3: even walls beyond this square. I'm still going a park.
Speaker 2: That's how FEV five got on street. There was so
Speaker 2: much shit all on the couch. I said, nigga, that ship,
Speaker 2: get o camera right he got clean up.
Speaker 3: Old man, I ain't ship. I'm old, and I ain't
Speaker 3: got ship to show for it. That's truth. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna lie if.
Speaker 2: You have this show for it.
Speaker 3: I mean, for christ I got turned forty years old
Speaker 3: this year. I mean, like everybody else that I grew
Speaker 3: up with, got a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot,
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 4: A lot, like kids, every financial.
Speaker 3: Kids, families, wives, careers, how homes, retirement, all this shit.
Speaker 3: They got a lot, a lot, a lot. So it's
Speaker 3: not even close. It's not even close at all. So
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with them.
Speaker 2: Do you not look at light though? Do you not
Speaker 2: think life is supposed to run your own race.
Speaker 3: Hmmm, so what's up?
Speaker 2: And like, do you not think we're supposed to run
Speaker 2: your own race?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are, but you can run it fucked up,
Speaker 3: slow blow amstring and finished last, or you can win.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're not really competing.
Speaker 3: Always competing, You're always competing. You're never not the market,
Speaker 3: your expectations, every people around you. You're always competing to such,
Speaker 3: not competing is probably not good. M hm.
Speaker 2: So you got it all right. Let's take my parents
Speaker 2: for example. Right, everybody felt that I was supposed to
Speaker 2: go to college, my older sister's family, mother. It didn't
Speaker 2: work out that way, right. I had being this pretty
Speaker 2: popular drug dealer that was a gang member, low ride
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. So that was my first thing.
Speaker 2: I would have lost right that that w we Right.
Speaker 1: I started rapping. Everybody didn't think I was gonna be
Speaker 1: able to pull it off. I still pulled it off.
Speaker 1: Parents didn't even think I.
Speaker 2: Was gonna pull it off. Yeah, pulled it off. Did
Speaker 2: I win? No? Right?
Speaker 1: Then I started looking at other rapids right now, mind you,
Speaker 1: When I first get.
Speaker 2: In the game, I'm with game right facing g ride face.
Speaker 1: Put me on g ride. My brother pulled all these people.
Speaker 1: Game sells half a million records in the first week. Right,
Speaker 1: I barely get a record deal?
Speaker 2: Did I win?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I get a record deal. Right, I'm signing cash money records.
Speaker 1: Lil Wayne comes out, sells and million records in the
Speaker 1: first week I put out my first single.
Speaker 2: It does welp for me? Did I win?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: How do you compete?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: How do I really measure myself.
Speaker 1: Up against people that don't have the exact experiences like mine?
Speaker 1: Like the only time, like even as a rapper, Right,
Speaker 1: you know why I never felt like I was losing
Speaker 1: behind Game or behind Wayne or behind Kendrick is because.
Speaker 2: I wasn't a rapper. Where we started at was completely different.
Speaker 3: Sure, but it's like you're competing against the games on
Speaker 3: your schedule, right, So you're competing it like, let's say,
Speaker 3: because this start at the genesis of the of the
Speaker 3: diagram was not going to college and doing going from
Speaker 3: hustling to rapping, right, so you didn't have to surrender
Speaker 3: like twenty years time. So that's a when you made
Speaker 3: more money in the interim. That's a when you exceeded
Speaker 3: media and income for that path in rapping and hustling.
Speaker 3: So that's the when So compared to that starting point
Speaker 3: for week one of the schedule, you win.
Speaker 1: But if you had an older sisters, they felt I
Speaker 1: lost because I was hustling, but you didn't lose it hustling.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but hustling was the lass.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the fact that you just choose to do something illegal.
Speaker 3: But again, it's like you're down in the second quarter,
Speaker 3: but you're up out of fourth quarter because by the
Speaker 3: time you get your path manifested, now you're ahead of
Speaker 3: where you you have money and security, ahead of where
Speaker 3: you otherwise would have had had you done that path.
Speaker 3: So that's a win.
Speaker 2: But that's what I'm seeing.
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like even though the the expectations
Speaker 1: are peers put on us cannot be real, right, paroding,
Speaker 1: like because they don't tell them who we are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's true. But yeah, but I think they're
Speaker 3: trying to. I think their expectation is for it is
Speaker 3: just for kind of a blanket standard typically, so you
Speaker 3: either exceed meat or fall short of that kind of
Speaker 3: blanket standard. It is kind of about pay. Some some
Speaker 3: parents are really like myself has to be specifically a
Speaker 3: doctor or specifically a lawyer. Sometimes it's very narrow. I
Speaker 3: think by a large it's just a certain a standard.
Speaker 3: You know, you're either there or you're not.
Speaker 1: What did you think your parents? What would you think
Speaker 1: your parents would have been happy if you did?
Speaker 2: What exactly? Had?
Speaker 3: What kind of career, kind of anything, just like anything
Speaker 3: that was buildable and anything that was a stable, secure
Speaker 3: career that was buildable, that was growth trajectory oriented and
Speaker 3: it was security oriented. Mm. So they were happy, like
Speaker 3: our first year at a school, were very happy with that.
Speaker 3: But I never was able to recreate that opportunity. I mean,
Speaker 3: like God, let go in a downward slump of the
Speaker 3: like a downward slump of the entire economy. Two thousand
Speaker 3: and eight was not a great year to find yourself
Speaker 3: to being newly unemployed.
Speaker 2: All right, death from the LEA. Look at my life
Speaker 2: right now?
Speaker 4: She she, she will be proud. She is proud.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your mom probably look at Joe. What's crazy is Joey?
Speaker 1: How hard you are on yourself? Your parents are hell
Speaker 1: of proud because they're like, man, my boy graduate high school,
Speaker 1: he take care of his kid, he got a job
Speaker 1: that got security, this, that and the third.
Speaker 4: But Joe, yeah, I made it, especially my mama.
Speaker 2: You can't you know, it's.
Speaker 1: Right to a degree, right, But the only it's like
Speaker 1: I tell you, like I tell still all the time, y'all.
Speaker 1: Problem is gonna be your intellect is a little too
Speaker 1: vast for you, like you try to take a sheep
Speaker 1: opportunity when you're a shepherd or what. And that's Peter's problem.
Speaker 1: Peter is not a fucking sheep, like the life he
Speaker 1: even compared would never work is. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: some of his friends he grew up with are not
Speaker 1: smart or not even educated. But Pete is an intellectual,
Speaker 1: so his idea of creating is vast. His ability to
Speaker 1: listen is bad. To take in information and make it
Speaker 1: work and be his that's you, mout fuck man. Like
Speaker 1: we talk about your job, motherfucker, be at your job,
Speaker 1: motherfuckers be that's.
Speaker 2: The greatest thing in the world to them. You sitting
Speaker 2: around this mouf fucker Like, man, I was supposed to
Speaker 2: be doing so much more with my life.
Speaker 3: I felt that way one day I'll be going through that.

Speaker 3: till I was probably thirty dead.
Speaker 2: As serious, I'm sure, Yeah, fucking bitch.
