Speaker 1: Watch up and welcome back to another episode of No
Speaker 1: Sealer's podcast with your hosts Now fuck that with your
Speaker 1: load glasses, Malone?
Speaker 2: What's that name?
Speaker 3: Got me?
Speaker 2: What do you mean I got you?
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of anything anymore?
Speaker 2: What you confused about.
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 3: All?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 1: I don't even want to know what that means, because
Speaker 1: I would imagine that means something crazy.
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't live a crazy live a crazy life.
Speaker 2: You don't live a crazy life.
Speaker 3: No. No, pretty simple, very very very simple. Just trying
Speaker 3: to corral small, tiny little bits of money and just
Speaker 3: you know, get a couple more of them. That's about
Speaker 3: it about it?
Speaker 2: Low.
Speaker 3: Did you go out of town? Were you in Colorado
Speaker 3: or something?
Speaker 2: I was in Denver?
Speaker 3: Gotcha? How'd that go?
Speaker 2: It was cool.
Speaker 1: I went out there Thursday because I had to do
Speaker 1: some extra hustling for Friday, and then the concert was Saturday,
Speaker 1: and I left Sunday morning at seven in the morning,
Speaker 1: like La. So I left Thursday night on Frontier and
Speaker 1: which the plane was two or three hours late, where
Speaker 1: I had mechanical issues.
Speaker 3: I'm extremely familiar with that process, as you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know I'm sleeping on Frontier.
Speaker 3: I spent more time on the frontier than David Crockett.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fuck man, anyway.
Speaker 3: Under Daniel boone of aviation.
Speaker 2: So I leave out.
Speaker 1: I get there at night, I end up doing one
Speaker 1: rap song for somebody, and then I go to the
Speaker 1: hotel and I go to sleep. Friday, when I wake up,
Speaker 1: I end up just getting a little extra sleep because
Speaker 1: I've been stressed crazy, just been going through it. I
Speaker 1: think yesterday, Coach, you know, made a lot of sense
Speaker 1: to me. Like I've been dealing with a problem with
Speaker 1: my business m hm, and it's threatening the ownership of
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of my songs pretty much my
Speaker 1: whole catalog, and it's been stressing me out over the
Speaker 1: past two months, like beyond. But yesterday I went to
Speaker 1: box with coach. With coach, will you know who does
Speaker 1: the lunch hour?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 3: Sure, yeah awesome, And.
Speaker 1: Like it had me so stressed out, man, like all
Speaker 1: my shoulders, my back being tense, Like I've just been
Speaker 1: really going through it. And it's only because like somebody
Speaker 1: I trust is at the hest that you know, somebody
Speaker 1: I trust it is at the front of it, and
Speaker 1: I feel like the way they're dealing with it is
Speaker 1: just not cool. And it's like if you would think, like,
Speaker 1: you know, people know I've made sacrifices on having children.
Speaker 1: You know, part of the initial thing was I was
Speaker 1: waiting to get married to have children. So it's not
Speaker 1: as simple as I just was sacrificing music, sacrifice to
Speaker 1: have a children make music. But people know that this
Speaker 1: is my pride and joy, my music, my create you know,
Speaker 1: my creative ensemble of songs. You feel me, it's my
Speaker 1: pride and joy. So losing it, I would think somebody
Speaker 1: who like I would trust, would be really you know,
Speaker 1: they would understand why it would be so stressful. But
Speaker 1: it's to the point where like you watch that person's
Speaker 1: life go on and don't get me wrong, maybe you know,
Speaker 1: still the person maybe still feels like like, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's going to be okay.
Speaker 2: So it's like it's not a cool way.
Speaker 1: And then as I do more homework on a person,
Speaker 1: like everything coming back has been horrible and still is
Speaker 1: just going on with his life like it's all good,
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like he might make
Speaker 1: a phone call, but he's at his job, he's with
Speaker 1: his wife, he's on his kids game, he's you know,
Speaker 1: celebrating his anniversaries, like this means that I won't make
Speaker 1: any more money off of my catalog, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: And so to me, it's so serious.
Speaker 1: And if I was, you know, you know, managing an
Speaker 1: artist and this was I couldn't even sleep without fixing it.
Speaker 1: I couldn't do anything else without fixing it, especially if
Speaker 1: it's somebody that I've known for twenty years, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, I be doing everything in my power
Speaker 1: to protect that relationship and to make sure that this
Speaker 1: person didn't lose everything. And I would still be talking
Speaker 1: to this person all the time. I'd be talking to
Speaker 1: this person so much that they would be more you know,
Speaker 1: like confused, Like damn, you know you more affected than me,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'd be trying to soothe,
Speaker 1: you know, Like if this was the Giants and it
Speaker 1: was happening to them, I'd be talking to them every day,
Speaker 1: like I'd be hitting them all day, like, hey, you
Speaker 1: know what I made this car been thinking? Even if
Speaker 1: I was helpless in this situation, we'd be helpless and
Speaker 1: I'd be down for whatever you wanted to do.
Speaker 3: And can I ask, like what's the contractual? I mean
Speaker 3: it has to be some for a contractual conflict the legal.
Speaker 2: So like, so I did a.
Speaker 1: It's a couple of companies that have been, you know,
Speaker 1: licensing catalogs to sink to sink. You know, they've been
Speaker 1: they've been licensing catalogs so they could sink them and
Speaker 1: look for opportunities. So they advance you money based off
Speaker 1: your future royalties and the goal is for them to
Speaker 1: make you know, a lot of money and take into
Speaker 1: a profit share with you because you have this amount
Speaker 1: of songs and.
Speaker 3: They would like you're effectively borrowing out the equity in
Speaker 3: the music, and they assume that the it's going to
Speaker 3: earn itself back with appreciation at minimum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. But the goal for
Speaker 2: them is to make more money.
Speaker 1: And still brought it to me as this is somebody
Speaker 1: that I'm friends with, and I'm thinking, I'm coming to
Speaker 1: the realization that's probably not true.
Speaker 2: Like he knows the person, but you know, even the
Speaker 2: person who.
Speaker 1: He met him through, right, was like I verified with
Speaker 1: certain people and they're like, now this dude that's doing
Speaker 1: the deal is very questionable.
Speaker 2: Like he's done some really questionable things.
Speaker 1: So it's put me in a situation where I have
Speaker 1: to go behind and check everything and it's like everything
Speaker 1: has been bad, and it got to the point to where,
Speaker 1: you know, I was ready to do something, you know,
Speaker 1: very glasses love thing from Seth.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to be the guy taking your catalog
Speaker 3: from him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm on the verge of doing I was
Speaker 1: on the verge yesterday of doing some very glasses love thing,
Speaker 1: some things that shout out to my older homies that
Speaker 1: I've been trained to do when people play with me,
Speaker 1: sure you know what I mean, And I haven't seen
Speaker 1: it in so long, like people trying to play with
Speaker 1: me and thinking it's okay, and yeah, it's just been
Speaker 1: a journey and it's been stressing me out. So yesterday
Speaker 1: I was going in to box, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: going to work out box those mans and it was
Speaker 1: so stressful I couldn't even work. And that's how I know,
Speaker 1: because I'm not like a stressful person. Even when I
Speaker 1: was in Denver, there were times that I had a
Speaker 1: headache because I'm like dog like, this is my everything.
Speaker 1: And long story short, So I'm with coach, you know,
Speaker 1: at training and he's talking to me and I got
Speaker 1: the address to this location where the company is at sometimes,
Speaker 1: and I knew nobody was there, so my immediate thing
Speaker 1: was to go burn down this building, right saying it's
Speaker 1: kind of in like Hollywood. But I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll just go burn it down, you know, because I
Speaker 1: can't get the person who who the deal was done
Speaker 1: with on the phone let alone. I don't even know
Speaker 1: who's financing that part of the deal for him, who's
Speaker 1: putting up the money and still has gotten to the
Speaker 1: place now where he's just not even talking to me.
Speaker 3: What's the name of this outfit?
Speaker 1: I don't quite know. I got to look at the contract.
Speaker 1: I know that's weird because they his people.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I have had a some exposure to a similar business
Speaker 3: model from a company called song Vest.
Speaker 2: You know it's not that though, Okay.
Speaker 1: That's got no selings live or look, excuse me, no seilings,
Speaker 1: not live, no seilings lasses Lowe.
Speaker 2: The boss working through some stuff, so.
Speaker 1: Like it's to the point now where I barely like
Speaker 1: still is barely gonna answer my cause you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like his job is now so important that
Speaker 1: he cannot talk to me. It's like, you know, forty
Speaker 1: eight hours at this point, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like every promise has been broken and you know, from
Speaker 1: the company, and there is really no effort to kind
Speaker 1: of keep me cool. And normally that is usually a.
Speaker 2: Sign of disrespect, and it is a sign of disrespect.
Speaker 2: I mean to me.
Speaker 1: Now, maybe in the regular world it's not a sign
Speaker 1: of disrespect, but in my world, it's a sign of disrespect,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So my immediate thing is
Speaker 1: to do something to the man respect. I don't know
Speaker 1: who the person is or what they look like, so
Speaker 1: I can't find them. So the next thing is I
Speaker 1: just go burn this house down and then they'll know
Speaker 1: I'm not playing. So I got the address from a
Speaker 1: buddy of minees that that we all know, and shout
Speaker 1: out to him. He didn't know what I was gonna
Speaker 1: plan to do, and lord knows, I would have never
Speaker 1: told the police where I got the address from. Sure,
Speaker 1: But as I'm going, as I'm about to walk out
Speaker 1: the gym, no, coach Willis just started talking to me.
Speaker 2: And something he he said.
Speaker 1: I don't quite know what it was specifically, but when
Speaker 1: I left the gym, I still was on the verge
Speaker 1: of going right. I was going to get a gas can,
Speaker 1: going to you know, do the thing, and right when
Speaker 1: I got to the freeway, his words just kept.
Speaker 2: Going back and back over my head, dog like in
Speaker 2: my ear, in my ear, in my ear. It was
Speaker 2: like God's testing you, like you know, God is testing you.
Speaker 1: And the more I thought about it, I was explaining
Speaker 1: to somebody that God has been testing me and I
Speaker 1: know it. Like right, I went through the same thing
Speaker 1: when I was about to put out white lighting in one.
Speaker 2: And like the CD was doing good.
Speaker 1: It was making noise, but it hadn't quite hit radio
Speaker 1: to start kicking up dust like I think maybe one
Speaker 1: station might have played it, and it was an opportunity
Speaker 1: for me to make a play on five gallons of
Speaker 1: PCP for sure, or people call it dust five gallons, right,
Speaker 1: And that play would have bought me an extra ten
Speaker 1: thousand dollars to survive, right because at that point, I'm
Speaker 1: living in Lynnwood.
Speaker 2: Shout out to mister hood rest in peace. I'm living on.
Speaker 1: Lynwood Road, thirty three forty four Lynn Warld Road, right
Speaker 1: at the corner of Lynwood Road and Long Beach Boulevard
Speaker 1: when you get off the one on five freeway coming
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, and you exit on Long Beach Boulevard.
Speaker 2: You know that puts you on the side where you
Speaker 2: have to go that would be south. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: I live right there, and you've missed out on some
Speaker 3: good opportunities to Uh there's pimping money to be made.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that. But after this, I had
Speaker 1: that opportunity too. But I would have picked up an
Speaker 1: additional ten thousand dollars. At that time my rent was
Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty five dollars. Ten thousand dollars goes
Speaker 1: a long way. I would have been straight, you know,
Speaker 1: for I don't know, you know, for a while, or
Speaker 1: I would have got busted. And my problem with it,
Speaker 1: and this is the point of sometimes being a crypt
Speaker 1: and a well trained crip. Shout out to my older home.
Speaker 1: He shout out to Pluck moun Shady and all the
Speaker 1: guys that made me stand there for myself and realize
Speaker 1: I could do shit to people and get away with it.
Speaker 2: Is now I.
Speaker 1: Think I can get away with everything. Sure, I think
Speaker 1: I'm some kind of fucking criminal mastermind. And it's crazy
Speaker 1: because I think the police is smart. If nothing else,
Speaker 1: they have more time and resources. Even if they're even
Speaker 1: if my SAT score is better than some of these
Speaker 1: motherfuckers they have, Like I'm spending my whole day trying
Speaker 1: to get away with doing a crime, stay alive, not
Speaker 1: get ribbed, feel me, not get cheated, and they spend,
Speaker 1: you know, and I still have to do the transactions
Speaker 1: to make profit.
Speaker 2: They get paid all day to watch me.
Speaker 3: And even in the vacuum of one singular act, you
Speaker 3: have to go twenty for twenty and they have to
Speaker 3: go one for twenty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so.
Speaker 3: Like even that decks stacked enormously against you.
Speaker 2: Yes, So.
Speaker 1: I remember that happened, and I remember just thinking like, nah,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I don't even know how I
Speaker 1: was gonna even pay my rent that month, or I
Speaker 1: didn't pay my rent, I might have been a whole
Speaker 1: month behind. But mister Hood used to try his best
Speaker 1: to keep the owner together. The lady she was. She
Speaker 1: was a cool lady too. I forgot her name. But
Speaker 1: the manager of the apartment unit, mister Hood rest in peace.
Speaker 1: You know, he would, mister Lewis Hood, he would do.
Speaker 1: He would try his best to help me. He's seen
Speaker 1: I was trying to get my life together. He saw
Speaker 1: that I didn't want to sell drugs, and I was
Speaker 1: trying to do this music thing and it was a
Speaker 1: little energy, but it wasn't quite where it needed to be.
Speaker 1: And that opportunity came and I was right on the
Speaker 1: verge of doing it. And you know, part of the
Speaker 1: reason I stopped selling drugs is because I realized that,
Speaker 1: like I promised God that I wouldn't sell drugs if
Speaker 1: God got me out of a situation where I was
Speaker 1: about to go to prison. And it wasn't even a
Speaker 1: serious prayer. I think I told you, yeah, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't a serious prayer. But it happened, and the only
Speaker 1: thing flowing in my mind was that promise. So I
Speaker 1: was going to break that promise to I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta do it. Is one more time and I'll
Speaker 1: be straight because I could see it was going to happen,
Speaker 1: Like the opportunity was there and it was clicking and
Speaker 1: all I needed was one more time. And I remember
Speaker 1: turning it down, like, nah, man, I'm gonna hook you
Speaker 1: up with somebody else. Oh I pay you, Noah, I
Speaker 1: want nothing for me. I don't even I don't want
Speaker 1: to get involved. I'm just making sure you accomplished what
Speaker 1: you're trying to accomplish. But I'm I don't want a
Speaker 1: profit from it.
Speaker 2: I'm cool.
Speaker 1: And I remember my brother was mad because he was
Speaker 1: like me, you ain't trying to hustle, you know, y'all.
Speaker 2: I'm like, now, I'm gonna do something different. And that
Speaker 2: was yesterday for me, and.
Speaker 3: It reminds me of one of my favorite probably not
Speaker 3: released singles of the last several years in the hip
Speaker 3: hop genre. Is that song Last Run by Yogatti.
Speaker 2: Oh, I never heard it.
Speaker 3: That's a great song, great, great song all the way around.
Speaker 2: And so.
Speaker 1: Yesterday Coach Wills talking to me, He's like, man, God
Speaker 1: has something right around the corner for you. He's like, man,
Speaker 1: I know this energy. And when he said it at
Speaker 1: that time, I heard him. But I'm like, man, I'm
Speaker 1: finish gonna burn his house down because I he was
Speaker 1: a way with him. And you know, these motherfuckers gonna
Speaker 1: know not to play with me. They're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get on the phone with me. They got to fix
Speaker 1: the shit, you know, period, blah blah blah. And I
Speaker 1: got you, guys, man, I'm the freeway.
Speaker 3: I just take anything. Coach, Yeah, Coach absolutely you're putting
Speaker 3: in all these things into the car.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, I hear. I'm listening to it.
Speaker 1: But in my mind, I am so focused that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna show these motherfuckers, you know what I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna show these motherfuckers, you know. Like and that kept
Speaker 1: saying God has something right around the corner for you.
Speaker 1: And when I was when I was right at the
Speaker 1: freeway and kept saying God had something, and I just
Speaker 1: turned around and went on. And I promised myself today
Speaker 1: that I wouldn't stress. I promised myself today that I
Speaker 1: wouldn't call still like I promised myself. And today is
Speaker 1: the first day in a long time and a couple
Speaker 1: of about five seven weeks that I haven't stressed. Sure's
Speaker 1: And you know, I didn't call Steal. I didn't say
Speaker 1: nothing to him. At this point, I'm probably not going
Speaker 1: to call him anymore about it. But man, like, it
Speaker 1: was definitely and I think I could have got away
Speaker 1: with it. I know I could have got away with it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that that that really kind of repositioned my soul.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I like it, because it
Speaker 1: made me feel like I'm getting soft, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but it's been a journey man, and so
Speaker 1: I was in Denver dealing with that. I came up
Speaker 1: with some really great ideas in Denver for like TV
Speaker 1: shows and those stuff. So you know, everything is straight
Speaker 1: even today, Like I was writing for this film, shout
Speaker 1: out Nebrasko, one of my partners out there in Memphis.
Speaker 1: No going out there in November to shoot a film.
Speaker 1: You know, I've sold synopsis. You know, I sold you know,
Speaker 1: treatments before for films, three of them. But this is
Speaker 1: like my first one that we're gonna shoot, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm strapped in to go all the way for it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Paul's like, I'm strapped in
Speaker 1: to go all the way with this.
Speaker 3: I hate, I hate to do it, but I have
Speaker 3: to ask. Are there any nominal speaking roles for presumed
Speaker 3: white characters in the film.
Speaker 1: One, Yes, okay, that's why I wrote you in. I
Speaker 1: got a cool part for you. But I gotta I
Speaker 1: need a I need I need an older white racist man.
Speaker 1: It's not for you. This is one specific thing. I
Speaker 1: got something for you that should be.
Speaker 3: Probably achievable in the Southern Tennessee, Northern Mississippi Greater Casting
Speaker 3: Net Area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but uh nah man, So I've been really flushing
Speaker 1: out the characters again. Shout out to John Truby for
Speaker 1: Anatomy of a Story. It's one of the best. If
Speaker 1: you're a natural storyteller, you know, and I know they
Speaker 1: you know, John Truby ain't writing us no check. But
Speaker 1: if you're a natural storyteller and you really want to
Speaker 1: put your storytelling on an assembly line as far as
Speaker 1: for it to have depth, get Anatomy of a Story
Speaker 1: by John Truby, you know what I mean, and go
Speaker 1: through it. Take your time, keep reading it. I've read
Speaker 1: it four times. I'm still reading it. I'm still ingesting it.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a part of my natural story
Speaker 1: process from here on out, and especially as I moved
Speaker 1: into this film realm, because it's like.
Speaker 2: I've had opportunities to do films.
Speaker 1: Over the last three or four or five six years,
Speaker 1: but I am so dedicated to hip hop and finishing
Speaker 1: what I started. You know, I went through all the
Speaker 1: stuff to get into this position that I kind of
Speaker 1: neglected that, but I realized those that thing is coming
Speaker 1: to me because it's going to help finish what I started.
Speaker 1: With hip hop, especially for like a masterful storyteller. You know,
Speaker 1: if I could compliment myself like that, a masterful storyteller
Speaker 1: as myself like right, I look at the difference between
Speaker 1: Scarface and ice CTE. To me, who are the two
Speaker 1: best storytellers in hip hop? They have some of the
Speaker 1: greatest and most widely known stories in the history of
Speaker 1: hip hop, you know what I mean, Scarface in songs
Speaker 1: like in songs for Scarface, it would be mind playing tricks.
Speaker 1: I've seen a man die like he has some incredible
Speaker 1: stories that everybody in hip hop knows what happened, you know,
Speaker 1: this year on the weekend. And then ice Cube, right,
Speaker 1: everybody knows what happens with the boys in the hood.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows about the good day that ice Cube had.
Speaker 1: You know, They're like phenomenal stories and their catalog is
Speaker 1: built on incredible stories. And I definitely patterned myself, you know,
Speaker 1: in hip hop as a rapper behind them. Naturally, I'm
Speaker 1: a storyteller. I used to tell sell stories at my
Speaker 1: middle school of Nintendo characters. So I never realized the
Speaker 1: two would help each other. I never realized the two
Speaker 1: would help each other. But and it's integral, and here
Speaker 1: we are today. You know what I'm saying. We are
Speaker 1: day late with the pod. We should have done it
Speaker 1: Sunday when I first got back. But again, man, when
Speaker 1: I got back, I was rapping, but I was still
Speaker 1: in this really funky mood.
Speaker 3: Sure, not to mention, probably just miserably tired.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I wasn't tired enough to where I couldn't
Speaker 2: have did it. But I didn't. Actually, my big homie,
Speaker 2: Big Cool from Bebop.
Speaker 1: Came by and he brought a hommy Pedro and a
Speaker 1: couple homies and we end up talking possibly about doing
Speaker 1: something with the del Phonics, one of the least singers
Speaker 1: from the del Phonics, and that ended up taking about
Speaker 1: four or five hours. So by the time that was done,
Speaker 1: then I had to do some rapping, and so by
Speaker 1: that time then I probably got tired because I ended
Speaker 1: up sleeping twice Sunday, gotcha. So the time that I
Speaker 1: would have came straight home, you know, from Denver and
Speaker 1: we would have just did the pod, I end up
Speaker 1: giving that time to Toronto to be cool and as
Speaker 1: part of being a decent friend and a decent young
Speaker 1: homie in his case, you know, being a decent young homie,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Where As I've been doing
Speaker 1: Ronald since I was probably nine, okay, and you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I always had a lot of respect for him,
Speaker 1: and he's a really creative dude in his music industry.
Speaker 1: He's one of the guys that discovered you know, he
Speaker 1: was on the early train with Black Youngster.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: He has a knack for what's happening when it comes
Speaker 1: to street urban coaching. So you know, you make time
Speaker 1: and Pedro, you know, they were rapping before me, so
Speaker 1: you make time for people sometimes, you know, shout out
Speaker 1: to everybody that listens to No Seilings podcasts forgive me
Speaker 1: for this day late, but here it is, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's a day late, but we're right.
Speaker 3: Here and I'm ad dollars short, so we're perfectly and sync.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So.
Speaker 1: At that point today I've just been writing, flushing out
Speaker 1: the story a little bit more. You know this again,
Speaker 1: this is the first this is the first synopsis or
Speaker 1: or the treatment that I'm going to take the screenplay
Speaker 1: in the strip. There alone going to shoot it. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited about that and it is kind of it
Speaker 1: is refreshing to kind of double down on stories. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean to double down, and we will
Speaker 1: use these new set of tools, use this new set
Speaker 1: of tools that I got from a couple of books
Speaker 1: in my approach, Like even writ in this film now
Speaker 1: right It's dope, because I was inspired by the location.
Speaker 1: Right Nebrasko and his partner bought the location in Memphis,
Speaker 1: this preestinct, and I had to write the idea based
Speaker 1: off location.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to move the camera lot.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Malcolm May's little bro he didn't, you know,
Speaker 1: taught me a lot about multiple location shit. So I
Speaker 1: was really careful with the first films that I wanted
Speaker 1: to shoot were always, for the most part, single location shots.
Speaker 1: I mean, they spent eighty five percent of the film
Speaker 1: in one location. And it was one thing to get
Speaker 1: the premise out, it was another thing to get the
Speaker 1: synopsis out. I still wrote the synopsis. He expanded it
Speaker 1: on the premise and wrote a synopsis. But now like
Speaker 1: developing the story based off of my new attained knowledge
Speaker 1: and skill set, and man, it's.
Speaker 2: Night and day difference, Pete, it's night and day difference.
Speaker 3: What do you notice this from? Like what you the
Speaker 3: final product to be like, what like certain details that
Speaker 3: translate onto film or that you would anticipate would where
Speaker 3: do you see like those differences being like at their greatest.
Speaker 1: So like with Tupacmas Die Right, Obviously this is hard
Speaker 1: to compare because that's a five to six minute video
Speaker 1: and this is a ninety plus minute feature. One of
Speaker 1: the biggest things is so character development and relations, gotcha, Like,
Speaker 1: that's a big thing today, as I've been spilling out
Speaker 1: before I go to screenplay and script, character development and relations,
Speaker 1: the web of characters.
Speaker 2: And how they.
Speaker 1: How they carry a story, like not necessarily the plot
Speaker 1: carries the story. Like I was explaining to Chris today
Speaker 1: about I was telling her about Toby films and she
Speaker 1: felt she didn't like them because.
Speaker 2: They were.
Speaker 3: Filmed on cell phones.
Speaker 2: Yes, And.
Speaker 1: I explained to her it's more than that, and she
Speaker 1: thought that was crazy. And I'm like, you know, have
Speaker 1: you ever heard d Lo no Hoe? Right, there's a
Speaker 1: ton of songs that are mixed like shit, But if
Speaker 1: the song is compelling, it won't matter. It'll go into
Speaker 1: the story itself and make the story even that much more.
Speaker 2: Interesting, like shatas Sure.
Speaker 1: Sure, And I was telling her that the issue with
Speaker 1: most TOOB movies for people is the lack of story development.
Speaker 1: Like they'll have a decent premise and plot, but the
Speaker 1: web of characters is questionable. There's a lot of extra
Speaker 1: characters that won't make sense. Even this like being inspired
Speaker 1: by Rio Bravo to write this idea, right Real Bravo
Speaker 1: is a movie that came out in the fifties and
Speaker 1: I liked it and use it as just as inspiration
Speaker 1: because it was all about a bunch of you know,
Speaker 1: outlaws coming to to one location for one purpose, you know,
Speaker 1: and like this again, that was my first John Wayne film,
Speaker 1: so and only so it was one thing to write
Speaker 1: a really good treatment, excuse me, a really good premise
Speaker 1: and a really good synopsis that was simple, but to
Speaker 1: flush it out, to put it in position for screenplay
Speaker 1: and to put it in position for treatment. I could
Speaker 1: have seen how if I didn't read John Truby's book,
Speaker 1: it could have been a to B movie in a sense,
Speaker 1: not like oh, it's on TOOB and it's not successful,
Speaker 1: but in a sense that there could be way too
Speaker 1: much extra slack, like the suit is not Taylor fit
Speaker 1: for the featured time, Like every minute in a film
Speaker 1: is valuable. Sure, Every every word of a story is valuable.
Speaker 1: Every relationship that your main character has is valuable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you have to truly use it, you know, correctly
Speaker 1: to keep people engaged, especially if you don't have an
Speaker 1: area many you know, especially if you don't have the
Speaker 1: benefit of millions of dollars in marketing, especially if you
Speaker 1: don't have the big screen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, to totally.
Speaker 2: I mean those.
Speaker 3: Types of and I think like the one relationship, I mean,
Speaker 3: obviously it's like that you're alluding to, but yeah, for
Speaker 3: the audience's sake, Like, the most important relationship that the
Speaker 3: main character can have is the one that the film
Speaker 3: fosters between him and the audience. You know, asked, like
Speaker 3: you see like these patterns and movies where they'll go
Speaker 3: out of their way to give a little bit of
Speaker 3: background or a little bit of this or a little
Speaker 3: bit of that with certain characters certain moments, so that
Speaker 3: you can establish an empathy or a sympathy, some sort
Speaker 3: of relationship between the viewer and the character.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because I think I did a podcast
Speaker 1: we talked about it before on this podcast where I
Speaker 1: felt like I understood when people said Kendrick's music was
Speaker 1: preachy at times. It was driven entirely too much by dialogue,
Speaker 1: like the messaging was driven by dialogue. And it's also
Speaker 1: why I said gn X was his best album. Not
Speaker 1: only is it the best combination of records and him
Speaker 1: in his most honorable and vulnerable space, right, it's also
Speaker 1: the fact that everything is done in theme. Like people
Speaker 1: don't realize when you hear that singer singing how Los
Speaker 1: Angeles that is, People don't realize it's so many nuanced things,
Speaker 1: titles that create a theme that he gives you. Hey,
Speaker 1: this is la Unapologetically, I just smacked the shit out
Speaker 1: of one of the biggest artists in history that thought
Speaker 1: he could compete with me. And what I'm doing is
Speaker 1: not to be questioned. I'm unapologetically that guy. And he
Speaker 1: never had to say it, but through theme that was
Speaker 1: present everything that he was brand wise and where he
Speaker 1: was at in his life without ever saying it, which
Speaker 1: kind of you know, it's lost to people. People a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't catch the theme, you know, they
Speaker 1: don't catch the messaging of the record because they're enjoying
Speaker 1: the records and it's such a process from sowing a
Speaker 1: song that again, he's not using narration or dialogue to
Speaker 1: establish the theme at this point. The soundtrack of music
Speaker 1: is the theme, the interludes, everything about it screams exactly
Speaker 1: what he wanted to scream, and he just had his business.
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of the thing, which, you know,
Speaker 1: storytelling at this level was like, I realize, if you
Speaker 1: don't want your idea to come off preachy or condescending, right,
Speaker 1: you have to kind of allow theme to guide the messaging,
Speaker 1: not so much dialogue. Like if my story is based
Speaker 1: around the conservative black man, like he should never have
Speaker 1: to say I'm conservative. The theme of his existence, per
Speaker 1: relationship with individuals in the film should give off he's
Speaker 1: a conservative black man. You know, when you see him
Speaker 1: and compare him to the to the to the ally,
Speaker 1: it should say that. When you see him in compare
Speaker 1: to the opponent, it should say that true. The the
Speaker 1: the sheuer energy between them should say that without ever
Speaker 1: having to say that. He shouldn't have to go on
Speaker 1: a runt about being conservative and blah blah blah, and
Speaker 1: it should never have it should it should.
Speaker 2: Be very minimal.
Speaker 1: Sure, no, definitely could be just something he's wearing on
Speaker 1: his uniform. So I've been just developing a lot, man,
Speaker 1: a lot. What else is going on? Everything going on
Speaker 1: with all the how is the trading going?
Speaker 2: Eating shit at that?
Speaker 3: But I'm overperforming and everything else, so keeping the ship afloat.
Speaker 3: So that's nice. But I continue to just get castrated
Speaker 3: on a weekly basis, and that's unfreaking believable. I don't
Speaker 3: even know how it's about bath we thought impossible. I'm
Speaker 3: baffled by the numeric probability of that shortcoming. Truthfully, it's
Speaker 3: it's something else. I did get some good news though,
Speaker 3: because I was at a similar point a month ago,
Speaker 3: almost exactly where I have gotten to my absolute wits
Speaker 3: end with the people from Oklahoma with that oil deal.
Speaker 3: And they were in southern California and I knew it,
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, man, I really want to
Speaker 3: burn down all my social credit lines right now and
Speaker 3: make sure that they feel me, because they got a
Speaker 3: lot of balls taking my money and showing up in
Speaker 3: my backyard like that. That's you're almost telling me to
Speaker 3: do something to you, man. And they were in Palm Springs.
Speaker 3: I was like, I can come down to ten from
Speaker 3: the east or to west. He's sitting right right right,
Speaker 3: my sweet spot, buddy, you wanted he's here like pick one.
Speaker 3: It's like fucking pissed. But yesterday I did get good news.
Speaker 3: One of my wells is officially up and running and
Speaker 3: producing oil. So that is good.
Speaker 2: Amen.
Speaker 3: So the oh a couple pieces away.
Speaker 1: I remember you were telling me the story of how
Speaker 1: your family ended up in California, mom's side. Sure, I
Speaker 1: think it was right, how they ended up in Lynwood
Speaker 1: and then how they moved to where your family is
Speaker 1: at now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, look correct, Uh.
Speaker 3: They were in uh once, I was in Lynnwood, across
Speaker 3: the street from where Lynwood High School is now.
Speaker 2: And that's your that's your that's your mom's side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's both my mom's side and the other the
Speaker 3: other group over there was up in Hindton Park.
Speaker 1: And how did they end up near the beach. Initially
Speaker 1: when it was cheap.
Speaker 3: There was nobody down there. I don't know how cheap
Speaker 3: it was. It wasn't like it is now. They just
Speaker 3: kind of kept They originally moved to Downey because the
Speaker 3: houses were bigger. So there was a little neighborhood in
Speaker 3: Downy that had like four tedescos in it, like in
Speaker 3: twelve houses. They just dollars.
Speaker 2: And then.
Speaker 3: I think, honestly it had to do with I think
Speaker 3: my aunt had allergies or something like that. So they're like,
Speaker 3: you either go to the desert, you can go about
Speaker 3: the water or something where it's not in that area
Speaker 3: where it's like polony or something. Sure, So he was
Speaker 3: down there, thought it was super boring. Orange County at
Speaker 3: times is nineteen sixty one was still Orange County. A
Speaker 3: lot of citrus grows the middle part of the county.
Speaker 3: Old Santa Anna was there. Newport was tiny, a tiny
Speaker 3: little working port. A couple thousand people live down there.
Speaker 3: He thought it was just terribly boring. Couldn't wait to
Speaker 3: get to work in the morning. That was it been
Speaker 3: there ever since.
Speaker 1: How important is migration in the pursuit of opportunity? Like
Speaker 1: I said, everything obviously, obviously I watch America move from
Speaker 1: place to place.
Speaker 3: It's the most important thing. It's the second most important
Speaker 3: thing behind pursuing knowledge. It's less important now because of
Speaker 3: the nature of certain virtual opportunities, let's say, like be
Speaker 3: it in certain software tech environments. You know, you can
Speaker 3: do things like that. But it's the most important thing.
Speaker 3: Even if you're in tech. I mean, it's not an accent.
Speaker 3: It's not like there's it's not like the greater Silicon
Speaker 3: Valley area from was it San Ramon and Santa Clara
Speaker 3: to wherever happens to have something in the water and
Speaker 3: monopolize all the genius tech brains in the world there. No,
Speaker 3: I mean it started off with a little bit of
Speaker 3: an ecosystem there and then all the money went there.
Speaker 3: So that's where all the vcs are. So if you
Speaker 3: want to have access to capital and access to the
Speaker 3: relationships that will entrust you with capital, you might want
Speaker 3: to go there. I mean, that's pretty true.
Speaker 1: And so that's what happened with Texas kind of over
Speaker 1: the last ten years for people in California, especially black
Speaker 1: people in California.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean a lot of moos with Texas.
Speaker 3: They've kind of moved everywhere, it seems. There's a lot
Speaker 3: of Vegas, a lot of Arizona, a lot of Texas and Atlanta.
Speaker 3: But Texas has a lot of growth and it's also
Speaker 3: very balanced sheet friendly mean affordable, yeah, yeah, I'm yeah,
Speaker 3: affordable on both sides of the ledger. It's cheaper to
Speaker 3: live there and you can still get good wages. There
Speaker 3: are other places where it's cheaper to live, like Memphis,
Speaker 3: but you're gonna get paid pigeonshited money too.
Speaker 2: Mm.
Speaker 3: Like Oklahoma is a good place to probably look into
Speaker 3: a certain opportunities there too, as far as migration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what if you're what if you're not looking Okay,
Speaker 1: what if the opportunity you can't see it yet? Like right,
Speaker 1: if there's a location that I'm looking at right and
Speaker 1: I'm like, the oportunity isn't there yet, but you know
Speaker 1: for sure because this place is the prime place where
Speaker 1: people with economics they have to go there. Like it's
Speaker 1: only so long this place could exist without you know,
Speaker 1: wealth showing up there to maximize you know again, to
Speaker 1: pursue more wealth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's sort of the you know, American
Speaker 3: story in a nutshell. And depending on your time frame,
Speaker 3: there's like visionary early and then there's opportunistic early. I like,
Speaker 3: so if you're a visionary early, that means there's something
Speaker 3: unique about this and I can make something happen, but
Speaker 3: it doesn't exist yet, so you have the vision to
Speaker 3: make it there. Opportunistic is holy crap, something's happening over
Speaker 3: there and it's not oversaturated yet, so there's opportunity on
Speaker 3: the back of somebody who had the vision that needs
Speaker 3: the human capital, and I can go fill that need
Speaker 3: right now at optimal value because you know, there's a
Speaker 3: there's a demand shortage or a supply shortage.
Speaker 1: Rather mmm, so visionary versus opportunistic. So if I'm a
Speaker 1: visionary yet, I know that because of the Internet right
Speaker 1: there is it's definitely changed the landscape. But let's say
Speaker 1: the vision is in real estate mhm. Location, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: seems like a longer gamble because you're still waiting on
Speaker 1: you would still be waiting on wealth to come fulfill
Speaker 1: the vision.
Speaker 2: But you know, is inevitable.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, time is a serious component. Like let's look
Speaker 3: at like for one, you know example, maybe some of
Speaker 3: the you know, you're a lot of the audiences may
Speaker 3: or might not have heard of I don't know. But
Speaker 3: obviously California's tax structure is pretty cumbersome on business. It's
Speaker 3: no secret.
Speaker 1: Moving a lot of films out of state, moving a
Speaker 1: lot of everything out of state.
Speaker 3: There was one project that got underway, but they kind
Speaker 3: of contracted their way into kaibashing it, so to speak,
Speaker 3: to have a new port of La right down in
Speaker 3: like Rosa Rito or something on the other side of
Speaker 3: the Mexican border, and offshore everything down there at way cheaper,
Speaker 3: put it on a train and send it out. Governor
Speaker 3: of California basically said, We're going to put a state
Speaker 3: tax on any product that comes in there that's so
Speaker 3: high that you won't be able to do it.
Speaker 2: He took Trump's idea for California along.
Speaker 3: Sure, and I think that was Brown, I believe at
Speaker 3: the time. Don't quote me, but anyway, the guy who
Speaker 3: started building it was the visionary. Now his vision didn't work,
Speaker 3: but had it worked and he put it together, and
Speaker 3: then you know, you move down there because you have
Speaker 3: a unique ability to launch some super automated arm in
Speaker 3: that port that doesn't have union labor restrictions. You would
Speaker 3: be the opportunistic party, as the other person was the visionary.
Speaker 2: MM So this idea, I'm pretty much a visionary at
Speaker 2: this point.
Speaker 3: Probably you're a visionary kind of guy.
Speaker 2: This is deep.
Speaker 1: I gotta figure it out, man, because I know it's there,
Speaker 1: Like I know when God is sending me the vision soul.
Speaker 1: Even if I can't see everything that I'm supposed to,
Speaker 1: I can receive the vision because I'm not drunk a
Speaker 1: high or delusional or yeah, you gotta be a little
Speaker 1: delusional to get the vision, for sure.
Speaker 3: A little bit, a little bit. But you anybody can
Speaker 3: have a vision. You know, you have to be rooted
Speaker 3: enough in reality to you know, work it through actually
Speaker 3: being a worthwhile vision. Otherwise it's just, you know, just something.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question. I wanted to ask
Speaker 2: you this. Well, it's not important.
Speaker 3: Shit, fire away. We've got sixteen minutes.
Speaker 1: You don't think you don't think capitalism right, You don't
Speaker 1: think capitalism would be better.
Speaker 2: Off if it had a cap.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think growth would have a I watched
Speaker 3: a great video. I should send it to you. This
Speaker 3: guy on that wealthy on show that I like talked
Speaker 3: about and there's a book by like my intellectual mentor
Speaker 3: of sorts though he's just an author and doesn't know
Speaker 3: that he's my mentor. Uh, wrote a book called Life
Speaker 3: after Capitalism. This guy was talking about how we are
Speaker 3: like capitalism no longer exists essentially in the framework as
Speaker 3: how we understand it, you know, with productions, margins, reinvestment, growth,
Speaker 3: like that whole thing we're that's no longer a thing.
Speaker 3: Now now we're dealing with world banks, manipulated currency, quantitative easings,
Speaker 3: you know, interest rates to support debt and overspending, and
Speaker 3: artificial injections of capital to keep the whole thing from collapsing.
Speaker 2: Mm.
Speaker 3: So it's really not capitalists in any conventional real sense,
Speaker 3: like value as we know it has been distorted beyond
Speaker 3: the point of recognizability and we're just yeah, kind of
Speaker 3: kind of a long for a ride what we can.
Speaker 2: So you mm hmm.
Speaker 3: But like even in like in a normal sense capitalism
Speaker 3: had a cap then then you're cap and growth.
Speaker 2: And your cap growth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone who's tried it, that's been the outcome. That's
Speaker 3: been the outcome because most of the margins don't change
Speaker 3: that much. The scale does.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And big visions cost big money.
Speaker 2: But do you think we lost something when McDonald's went
Speaker 2: like this big?
Speaker 1: Like as like I watched the film The Founder, and
Speaker 1: obviously it's a movie, so it don't have to be real.
Speaker 1: But even the concept of saying, hey, if we stop
Speaker 1: using real lifce cream and we use a powder mix, right,
Speaker 1: we maximize profit and make you know, you don't see
Speaker 1: the issue in that type of quality.
Speaker 3: I do but it's interesting. Like in the food world,
Speaker 3: the cancer I don't think is McDonald's. McDonald's offering it's
Speaker 3: pretty straightforward. You're getting something cheaper, and it's cheaper like
Speaker 3: literally and proverbially.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: The companies that I don't like. You said, there's only
Speaker 3: like a couple of companies in all those chain restaurants
Speaker 3: like Chili's and Red Lobster, all those things that give
Speaker 3: you a sit down dining experience at a price that
Speaker 3: a mom and pop restaurant can match, you know, normally, like,
Speaker 3: but they've scaled out and their quality is shitty. So
Speaker 3: now you're paying thirty five dollars to have a sit
Speaker 3: down dinner that absolutely sucks. But they've driven all all
Speaker 3: the small entrepreneurs out of the local marketplace.
Speaker 2: Kind of like what Best Buys did to the independent
Speaker 2: record stores.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like that Best Biden come out and offer
Speaker 3: a one penny CD that nobody could mash, but it
Speaker 3: was shitty quality. That's kind of what McDonald's did to me.
Speaker 3: It evolved in that.
Speaker 1: These others they changed their business right right then they
Speaker 1: changed their business eventually went from making money off burgers
Speaker 1: and fries to really having a different level of interest
Speaker 1: in real estate. Sure, sure, so, But you don't think
Speaker 1: that happens every time as you pursue profit, like you
Speaker 1: have to start to foresake quality first.
Speaker 2: Maybe like in and out is.
Speaker 1: The closest you can get to going too far to
Speaker 1: where you could keep some level of quality, you know,
Speaker 1: but still have growth.
Speaker 3: In certain areas. That's true, And it's not like it's
Speaker 3: there's not a whole lot of innovation in food, you know,
Speaker 3: Like it's pretty much just how can you make how
Speaker 3: can you produce a cheaper price per unit, or how
Speaker 3: can you convince people that they should be happier with
Speaker 3: this unit at this price? And I think they did
Speaker 3: a little bit of both. I think they re established
Speaker 3: consumer expectation. I just saw a picture. I don't know
Speaker 3: if it's true or not. The internet's full of shit anyway,
Speaker 3: that showed a big mac in like nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 3: It's like the size of my arm, and then this
Speaker 3: one's like this big. You know, now it could fit
Speaker 3: in the pall my hands tight. So they they've reduced
Speaker 3: so much sense. It's probably true. It is true, So
Speaker 3: there's that also, But at the same time, you look
Speaker 3: at innovation and the capabilities of the cell phone or
Speaker 3: technologies and computers or something, or production of cars or
Speaker 3: production of houses. It's like not even that, Like I
Speaker 3: think that it's we've lost the you know, fifty thousand
Speaker 3: dollars home, but there's way more value in the two
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars home than there used to be. I mean,
Speaker 3: it's like packed with all sorts of energy. It's more
Speaker 3: flame retard and the amount of like house fires is
Speaker 3: down like a third percent generation over generations. So there's
Speaker 3: there's a lot more quality out there in certain areas.
Speaker 3: There's a lot more efficiency in others. And then in
Speaker 3: things like hamburgers, is there just less meat?
Speaker 1: Is there really more efficiency in it? It just feels
Speaker 1: like there's more efficiency in things that are like what's
Speaker 1: the world I'm looking for? I always tell you it's
Speaker 1: the killer of quality.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a convenience convenience, Like, I don't.
Speaker 1: Know if it's efficiency as much as it's convenient in
Speaker 1: a lot of these in a lot of these departments.
Speaker 2: That's what it feels like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like even a house now right, I agree with you,
Speaker 1: Like it definitely is made to handle fired a lot different,
Speaker 1: but it's also like a car. Like a car is
Speaker 1: more efficient with gas, right it is. That's fact. It's
Speaker 1: efficient with gas, but every other part of it is
Speaker 1: a piece of shit, Like you're not built to last
Speaker 1: like they like.
Speaker 3: Statistically, I don't think that's true. I think the miles
Speaker 3: driven per major like repair has gone up a ton,
Speaker 3: but the cost per repair has gone up a ton.
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying at that point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's certainly no style and appeal and the design
Speaker 3: of any of the cars anymore.
Speaker 2: But even the complexity of how it rides, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, even the like like.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if I'm just being
Speaker 1: an old man complaining or like, it's a real valid point.
Speaker 2: Where we're talking about the pursuit of.
Speaker 1: Efficiency, but really behind it, you know, behind the curtains,
Speaker 1: Like it might look like a magic trick of efficiency
Speaker 1: to the fans, you know, in the audience, but behind
Speaker 1: the curtain, it's all the it's all convenience. It's all
Speaker 1: the convenience of how you know, they could keep you
Speaker 1: in bed with them, how they could keep you paying them,
Speaker 1: you know, all of the above.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know enough about old cars or old
Speaker 3: cars when they were new, you know, to be able
Speaker 3: to compare it to anything, because it matters.
Speaker 2: Old cars when they were new is a lot different
Speaker 2: than old cars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like I don't really know. I mean, I've
Speaker 3: had bad luck with cars and good luck with cars.
Speaker 3: It's just then I imagine that's probably always been the case.
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you embrace how do
Speaker 1: you embrace the convenience of life knowing that it kind
Speaker 1: of knowing that it's kind of voided of quality. I
Speaker 1: think what most people do is they just look around,
Speaker 1: and that makes them feel okay, but they really only
Speaker 1: look and left to right. They're not looking at time
Speaker 1: and knows as another metric. You know what, I I
Speaker 1: don't know a perspective. I don't think it's void of quality.
Speaker 1: I think it's void of character.
Speaker 3: I think it's become so streamlined and efficient with mass
Speaker 3: production that there is no more uniqueness, or uniqueness is
Speaker 3: way watered down, you know, and and everything has become
Speaker 3: extremely like monochromatic rhetorically.
Speaker 1: Speaking, like the NBA. Everybody wants to be the Golden
Speaker 1: State Warriors. Everybody want to shoot threes.
Speaker 3: Everybody wants to run the same offense everybody wants to
Speaker 3: have the same exact lineup, everything is the same.
Speaker 2: That's really done.
Speaker 1: That's where capitalism is now, maybe not before we were born,
Speaker 1: when capitalism was all about creating something that didn't exist,
Speaker 1: versus now it's a thousand people doing the exact same
Speaker 1: thing in the pursuit and profit.
Speaker 3: That's another thing that this guy mentioned on this video,
Speaker 3: and I'll send it to you if you want to
Speaker 3: watch it. You can if you're not doing But he
Speaker 3: was talking about and there's something that Jamaican Andre and
Speaker 3: I get you about all the time is these private
Speaker 3: equity firms that find a company that's struggling, and they
Speaker 3: have no innovative answers at all. They just buy the
Speaker 3: thing for X dollars, go through fire everybody that they
Speaker 3: could possibly survive firing, cut every cost possibly could survive cutting,
Speaker 3: and then, you know, tip the balance sheet briefly back
Speaker 3: into the positive and sell the company, you know, and
Speaker 3: then the company has to run in that really bare bones,
Speaker 3: shitty way forever unless some unless Albert Einstein walks in
Speaker 3: the door and splits the atom inside of that fucking company.
Speaker 3: And that's a serious thing too. But I think also
Speaker 3: people don't like now people are obsessed with security now,
Speaker 3: like you look at every time there's an economic downturn, Now,
Speaker 3: what do we get. We got fifty thousand laws that
Speaker 3: day to make sure there's never an economic downturn again.
Speaker 3: You know, whereas before it would happen companies go out
Speaker 3: of business, new ones who coming people. Now it's like
Speaker 3: you can't let such and such quarter business becuse people
Speaker 3: will lose their jobs. They'll lose their jobs seventy years
Speaker 3: ago for an hour and a half because somebody moved
Speaker 3: into the building and needed workers, you know. So so
Speaker 3: we've constrained things so much as we've turned into like
