Friday, when I wake up, 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:08.760 I end up just getting a little extra sleep because 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.080 I've been stressed crazy, just been going through it. I 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.160 think yesterday, Coach, you know, made a lot of sense 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.400 to me. Like I've been dealing with a problem with 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.040 my business m hm, and it's threatening the ownership of 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.400 you know, a lot of my songs pretty much my 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:34.760 whole catalog, and it's been stressing me out over the 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:42.560 past two months, like beyond. But yesterday I went to 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:45.839 box with coach. With coach, will you know who does 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:46.480 the lunch hour? 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:47.080 Sure? 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:48.280 Sure, yeah awesome, And. 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.240 Like it had me so stressed out, man, like all 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.679 my shoulders, my back being tense, Like I've just been 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.840 really going through it. And it's only because like somebody 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.240 I trust is at the hest that you know, somebody 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.040 I trust it is at the front of it, and 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.840 I feel like the way they're dealing with it is 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:17.360 just not cool. And it's like if you would think, like, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.440 you know, people know I've made sacrifices on having children. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.400 You know, part of the initial thing was I was 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.840 waiting to get married to have children. So it's not 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.040 as simple as I just was sacrificing music, sacrifice to 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.959 have a children make music. But people know that this 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.600 is my pride and joy, my music, my create you know, 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:40.400 my creative ensemble of songs. You feel me, it's my 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:44.480 pride and joy. So losing it, I would think somebody 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:49.120 who like I would trust, would be really you know, 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.280 they would understand why it would be so stressful. But 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.080 it's to the point where like you watch that person's 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.520 life go on and don't get me wrong, maybe you know, 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.880 still the person maybe still feels like like, uh, you know, 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.120 it's going to be okay. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:11.360 So it's like it's not a cool way. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.640 And then as I do more homework on a person, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:19.839 like everything coming back has been horrible and still is 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.000 just going on with his life like it's all good, 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.040 like you know what I mean, Like he might make 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:26.919 a phone call, but he's at his job, he's with 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:31.440 his wife, he's on his kids game, he's you know, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.960 celebrating his anniversaries, like this means that I won't make 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.520 any more money off of my catalog, you know what 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:39.840 I mean? 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.320 And so to me, it's so serious. 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.720 And if I was, you know, you know, managing an 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:52.000 artist and this was I couldn't even sleep without fixing it. 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.600 I couldn't do anything else without fixing it, especially if 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.360 it's somebody that I've known for twenty years, you know 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.520 what I mean, I be doing everything in my power 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:11.159 to protect that relationship and to make sure that this 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:14.240 person didn't lose everything. And I would still be talking 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.560 to this person all the time. I'd be talking to 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.760 this person so much that they would be more you know, 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.479 like confused, Like damn, you know you more affected than me, 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.200 you know what I mean. I'd be trying to soothe, 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.960 you know, Like if this was the Giants and it 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.360 was happening to them, I'd be talking to them every day, 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.400 like I'd be hitting them all day, like, hey, you 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.280 know what I made this car been thinking? Even if 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.520 I was helpless in this situation, we'd be helpless and 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.880 I'd be down for whatever you wanted to do. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:51.159 And can I ask, like what's the contractual? I mean 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.280 it has to be some for a contractual conflict the legal. 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.400 So like, so I did a. 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.640 It's a couple of companies that have been, you know, 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:10.520 licensing catalogs to sink to sink. You know, they've been 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.000 they've been licensing catalogs so they could sink them and 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:16.840 look for opportunities. So they advance you money based off 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.640 your future royalties and the goal is for them to 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.880 make you know, a lot of money and take into 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:25.240 a profit share with you because you have this amount 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:26.760 of songs and. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:33.520 They would like you're effectively borrowing out the equity in 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.440 the music, and they assume that the it's going to 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.800 earn itself back with appreciation at minimum. 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.000 Yeah, you know what I mean. But the goal for 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.279 them is to make more money. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.360 And still brought it to me as this is somebody 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.520 that I'm friends with, and I'm thinking, I'm coming to 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.359 the realization that's probably not true. 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:55.359 Like he knows the person, but you know, even the 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:56.040 person who. 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.039 He met him through, right, was like I verified with 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.800 certain people and they're like, now this dude that's doing 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.800 the deal is very questionable. 0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.040 Like he's done some really questionable things. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.440 So it's put me in a situation where I have 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.560 to go behind and check everything and it's like everything 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.200 has been bad, and it got to the point to where, 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.800 you know, I was ready to do something, you know, 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:19.600 very glasses love thing from Seth. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:22.600 I wouldn't want to be the guy taking your catalog 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:23.000 from him. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.920 Yeah, and I'm on the verge of doing I was 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.640 on the verge yesterday of doing some very glasses love thing, 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:31.520 some things that shout out to my older homies that 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:36.560 I've been trained to do when people play with me, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.280 sure you know what I mean, And I haven't seen 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.200 it in so long, like people trying to play with 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.560 me and thinking it's okay, and yeah, it's just been 0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:54.520 a journey and it's been stressing me out.

And that's how I know, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.920 because I'm not like a stressful person. Even when I 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.000 was in Denver, there were times that I had a 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.840 headache because I'm like dog like, this is my everything. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.680 And long story short, So I'm with coach, you know, 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.880 at training and he's talking to me and I got 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:24.320 the address to this location where the company is at sometimes, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.280 and I knew nobody was there, so my immediate thing 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:32.120 was to go burn down this building, right saying it's 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.040 kind of in like Hollywood.

He didn't know what I was gonna 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:44.160 plan to do, and lord knows, I would have never 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.040 told the police where I got the address from. Sure, 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.760 But as I'm going, as I'm about to walk out 0:10:50.800 --> 0:10:54.000 the gym, no, coach Willis just started talking to me. 0:10:56.200 --> 0:11:01.560 And something he he said. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:05.600 I don't quite know what it was specifically, but when 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.600 I left the gym, I still was on the verge 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.199 of going right. I was going to get a gas can, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.480 going to you know, do the thing, and right when 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:20.200 I got to the freeway, his words just kept. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.200 Going back and back over my head, dog like in 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.400 my ear, in my ear, in my ear.

Like right, I went through the same thing 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.480 when I was about to put out white lighting in one. 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.080 And like the CD was doing good. 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.760 It was making noise, but it hadn't quite hit radio 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.160 to start kicking up dust like I think maybe one 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:09.839 station might have played it, and it was an opportunity 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.719 for me to make a play on five gallons of 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:18.839 PCP for sure, or people call it dust five gallons, right, 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:23.800 And that play would have bought me an extra ten 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:28.480 thousand dollars to survive, right because at that point, I'm 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:29.440 living in Lynnwood. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.240 Shout out to mister hood rest in peace. I'm living on. 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.439 Lynwood Road, thirty three forty four Lynn Warld Road, right 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.360 at the corner of Lynwood Road and Long Beach Boulevard 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.880 when you get off the one on five freeway coming 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.200 from Los Angeles, and you exit on Long Beach Boulevard. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:45.720 You know that puts you on the side where you 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.640 have to go that would be south. You know what 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:48.920 I mean. 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.160 I live right there, and you've missed out on some 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:57.640 good opportunities to Uh there's pimping money to be made. 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.400 I'll tell you about that. But after this, I had 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:05.760 that opportunity too. But I would have picked up an 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.640 additional ten thousand dollars. At that time my rent was 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.320 four hundred and twenty five dollars. Ten thousand dollars goes 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.360 a long way. I would have been straight, you know, 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.600 for I don't know, you know, for a while, or 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:22.720 I would have got busted. And my problem with it, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.040 and this is the point of sometimes being a crypt 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.120 and a well trained crip. Shout out to my older home. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.400 He shout out to Pluck moun Shady and all the 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.840 guys that made me stand there for myself and realize 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.760 I could do shit to people and get away with it. 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:35.680 Is now I. 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.280 Think I can get away with everything. Sure, I think 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.800 I'm some kind of fucking criminal mastermind. And it's crazy 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.080 because I think the police is smart. If nothing else, 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.880 they have more time and resources. Even if they're even 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:50.880 if my SAT score is better than some of these 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.720 motherfuckers they have, Like I'm spending my whole day trying 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.840 to get away with doing a crime, stay alive, not 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:02.920 get ribbed, feel me, not get cheated, and they spend, 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.200 you know, and I still have to do the transactions 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.080 to make profit. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.640 They get paid all day to watch me. 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.680 And even in the vacuum of one singular act, you 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.720 have to go twenty for twenty and they have to 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:17.720 go one for twenty. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.160 Yeah, you know, so. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.280 Like even that decks stacked enormously against you. 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:24.920 Yes, So. 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.360 I remember that happened, and I remember just thinking like, nah, 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.800 I can't do it. I don't even know how I 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.520 was gonna even pay my rent that month, or I 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.120 didn't pay my rent, I might have been a whole 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.320 month behind. But mister Hood used to try his best 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.760 to keep the owner together. The lady she was. She 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.480 was a cool lady too. I forgot her name. But 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.920 the manager of the apartment unit, mister Hood rest in peace. 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.720 You know, he would, mister Lewis Hood, he would do. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.600 He would try his best to help me. He's seen 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.960 I was trying to get my life together. He saw 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.120 that I didn't want to sell drugs, and I was 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.160 trying to do this music thing and it was a 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.400 little energy, but it wasn't quite where it needed to be. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.040 And that opportunity came and I was right on the 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.040 verge of doing it. And you know, part of the 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.280 reason I stopped selling drugs is because I realized that, 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.640 like I promised God that I wouldn't sell drugs if 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.000 God got me out of a situation where I was 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.400 about to go to prison. And it wasn't even a 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.160 serious prayer. I think I told you, yeah, and it 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.440 wasn't a serious prayer. But it happened, and the only 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.960 thing flowing in my mind was that promise. So I 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:35.560 was going to break that promise to I'm like, oh, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:38.680 I gotta do it. Is one more time and I'll 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:41.040 be straight because I could see it was going to happen, 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.320 Like the opportunity was there and it was clicking and 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.880 all I needed was one more time. And I remember 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.720 turning it down, like, nah, man, I'm gonna hook you 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:54.040 up with somebody else. Oh I pay you, Noah, I 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.400 want nothing for me. I don't even I don't want 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.840 to get involved. I'm just making sure you accomplished what 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:00.800 you're trying to accomplish. But I'm I don't want a 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:01.480 profit from it. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:02.680 I'm cool. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:07.040 And I remember my brother was mad because he was 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.280 like me, you ain't trying to hustle, you know, y'all. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.560 I'm like, now, I'm gonna do something different. And that 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.280 was yesterday for me, and. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.440 It reminds me of one of my favorite probably not 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:22.400 released singles of the last several years in the hip 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:25.400 hop genre. Is that song Last Run by Yogatti. 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:27.200 Oh, I never heard it. 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.080 That's a great song, great, great song all the way around. 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:33.120 And so. 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.800 Yesterday Coach Wills talking to me, He's like, man, God 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.520 has something right around the corner for you. He's like, man, 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.160 I know this energy. And when he said it at 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:45.640 that time, I heard him. But I'm like, man, I'm 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.240 finish gonna burn his house down because I he was 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.400 a way with him. And you know, these motherfuckers gonna 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:51.600 know not to play with me. They're gonna have to 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.000 get on the phone with me. They got to fix 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:58.080 the shit, you know, period, blah blah blah. And I 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.720 got you, guys, man, I'm the freeway. 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:06.520 I just take anything. Coach, Yeah, Coach absolutely you're putting 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.600 in all these things into the car. 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.679 Yeah, no, no, I hear. I'm listening to it. 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.600 But in my mind, I am so focused that I'm 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.719 gonna show these motherfuckers, you know what I mean, I'm 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:21.359 gonna show these motherfuckers, you know. Like and that kept 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.800 saying God has something right around the corner for you. 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:26.000 And when I was when I was right at the 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.159 freeway and kept saying God had something, and I just 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:37.200 turned around and went on. And I promised myself today 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:41.520 that I wouldn't stress. I promised myself today that I 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:52.960 wouldn't call still like I promised myself. And today is 0:17:53.000 --> 0:17:55.240 the first day in a long time and a couple 0:17:55.280 --> 0:18:00.760 of about five seven weeks that I haven't stressed. Sure's 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:04.400 And you know, I didn't call Steal. I didn't say 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.640 nothing to him. At this point, I'm probably not going 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:16.560 to call him anymore about it. But man, like, it 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.520 was definitely and I think I could have got away 0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:21.160 with it. I know I could have got away with it. Yeah, 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.399 but that that that really kind of repositioned my soul. 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:27.960 I don't even know if I like it, because it 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:32.080 made me feel like I'm getting soft, you know what, 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:35.920 I'm saying, but it's been a journey man, and so 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:38.199 I was in Denver dealing with that. I came up 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.840 with some really great ideas in Denver for like TV 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:45.240 shows and those stuff. So you know, everything is straight 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.680 even today, Like I was writing for this film, shout 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:54.040 out Nebrasko, one of my partners out there in Memphis. 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.679 No going out there in November to shoot a film. 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.560 You know, I've sold synopsis. You know, I sold you know, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.119 treatments before for films, three of them. But this is 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:08.920 like my first one that we're gonna shoot, and you know, 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.800 I'm I'm strapped in to go all the way for it, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.840 you know what I mean. Paul's like, I'm strapped in 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:15.880 to go all the way with this. 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.200 I hate, I hate to do it, but I have 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:24.080 to ask. Are there any nominal speaking roles for presumed 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:25.520 white characters in the film. 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:31.840 One, Yes, okay, that's why I wrote you in. I 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.240 got a cool part for you. But I gotta I 0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:38.760 need a I need I need an older white racist man. 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:44.719 It's not for you. This is one specific thing. I 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.800 got something for you that should be. 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:54.400 Probably achievable in the Southern Tennessee, Northern Mississippi Greater Casting 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:55.040 Net Area. 0:19:55.760 --> 0:20:02.120 Yeah, but uh nah man, So I've been really flushing 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.280 out the characters again. Shout out to John Truby for 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.800 Anatomy of a Story. It's one of the best.

But 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:14.639 if you're a natural storyteller and you really want to 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.160 put your storytelling on an assembly line as far as 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.680 for it to have depth, get Anatomy of a Story 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.360 by John Truby, you know what I mean, and go 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.120 through it. Take your time, keep reading it. I've read 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:32.720 it four times. I'm still reading it. I'm still ingesting it. 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.080 I wanted to be a part of my natural story 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.160 process from here on out, and especially as I moved 0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:42.080 into this film realm, because it's like. 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.320 I've had opportunities to do films. 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:48.280 Over the last three or four or five six years, 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.480 but I am so dedicated to hip hop and finishing 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:54.600 what I started. You know, I went through all the 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.439 stuff to get into this position that I kind of 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:02.359 neglected that, but I realized those that thing is coming 0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:05.480 to me because it's going to help finish what I started. 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:11.159 With hip hop, especially for like a masterful storyteller. You know, 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.679 if I could compliment myself like that, a masterful storyteller 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.199 as myself like right, I look at the difference between 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.840 Scarface and ice CTE. To me, who are the two 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.399 best storytellers in hip hop? They have some of the 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:28.040 greatest and most widely known stories in the history of 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:34.600 hip hop, you know what I mean, Scarface in songs 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:41.840 like in songs for Scarface, it would be mind playing tricks. 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.680 I've seen a man die like he has some incredible 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.000 stories that everybody in hip hop knows what happened, you know, 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.440 this year on the weekend. And then ice Cube, right, 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.800 everybody knows what happens with the boys in the hood. 0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.160 Everybody knows about the good day that ice Cube had. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.399 You know, They're like phenomenal stories and their catalog is 0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:08.480 built on incredible stories. And I definitely patterned myself, you know, 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:12.160 in hip hop as a rapper behind them. Naturally, I'm 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:15.439 a storyteller. I used to tell sell stories at my 0:22:15.520 --> 0:22:21.000 middle school of Nintendo characters. So I never realized the 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:25.760 two would help each other. I never realized the two 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.800 would help each other. But and it's integral, and here 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:31.520 we are today. You know what I'm saying. We are 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.960 day late with the pod. We should have done it 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.880 Sunday when I first got back. But again, man, when 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:38.760 I got back, I was rapping, but I was still 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:40.200 in this really funky mood. 0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:45.560 Sure, not to mention, probably just miserably tired. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.560 Yeah, but I wasn't tired enough to where I couldn't 0:22:49.600 --> 0:22:53.520 have did it. But I didn't. Actually, my big homie, 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.359 Big Cool from Bebop. 0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:57.960 Came by and he brought a hommy Pedro and a 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:01.320 couple homies and we end up talking possibly about doing 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:04.200 something with the del Phonics, one of the least singers 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:06.080 from the del Phonics, and that ended up taking about 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.960 four or five hours. So by the time that was done, 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:12.720 then I had to do some rapping, and so by 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:14.760 that time then I probably got tired because I ended 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.199 up sleeping twice Sunday, gotcha. So the time that I 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:23.280 would have came straight home, you know, from Denver and 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.159 we would have just did the pod, I end up 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:30.480 giving that time to Toronto to be cool and as 0:23:30.520 --> 0:23:32.920 part of being a decent friend and a decent young 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:36.280 homie in his case, you know, being a decent young homie, 0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.040 you know what I'm saying. Where As I've been doing 0:23:38.080 --> 0:23:41.399 Ronald since I was probably nine, okay, and you know, 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.480 I'm I always had a lot of respect for him, 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.680 and he's a really creative dude in his music industry. 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.000 He's one of the guys that discovered you know, he 0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:50.919 was on the early train with Black Youngster. 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:52.040 Oh. 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.080 He has a knack for what's happening when it comes 0:23:56.119 --> 0:23:59.080 to street urban coaching. So you know, you make time 0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.960 and Pedro, you know, they were rapping before me, so 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.920 you make time for people sometimes, you know, shout out 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.720 to everybody that listens to No Seilings podcasts forgive me 0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:11.240 for this day late, but here it is, you know 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.080 what I mean. It's a day late, but we're right. 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:19.000 Here and I'm ad dollars short, so we're perfectly and sync. 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.160 Yeah. Yeah, So. 0:24:24.280 --> 0:24:26.840 At that point today I've just been writing, flushing out 0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:28.960 the story a little bit more. You know this again, 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:33.159 this is the first this is the first synopsis or 0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:37.199 or the treatment that I'm going to take the screenplay 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.480 in the strip. There alone going to shoot it. So 0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:44.479 I'm excited about that and it is kind of it 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.560 is refreshing to kind of double down on stories. You 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:49.560 know what I mean to double down, and we will 0:24:49.840 --> 0:24:52.080 use these new set of tools, use this new set 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:55.040 of tools that I got from a couple of books 0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:59.399 in my approach, Like even writ in this film now 0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:04.440 right It's dope, because I was inspired by the location. 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.280 Right Nebrasko and his partner bought the location in Memphis, 0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:11.200 this preestinct, and I had to write the idea based 0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:11.880 off location. 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:14.199 I didn't want to move the camera lot. 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.359 Shout out to Malcolm May's little bro he didn't, you know, 0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:19.080 taught me a lot about multiple location shit. So I 0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:22.280 was really careful with the first films that I wanted 0:25:22.280 --> 0:25:25.959 to shoot were always, for the most part, single location shots. 0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:28.080 I mean, they spent eighty five percent of the film 0:25:28.080 --> 0:25:32.800 in one location. And it was one thing to get 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:34.720 the premise out, it was another thing to get the 0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:38.159 synopsis out. I still wrote the synopsis. He expanded it 0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:41.879 on the premise and wrote a synopsis. But now like 0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:48.160 developing the story based off of my new attained knowledge 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:51.520 and skill set, and man, it's. 0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:55.080 Night and day difference, Pete, it's night and day difference. 0:25:57.080 --> 0:26:01.960 What do you notice this from? Like what you the 0:26:02.000 --> 0:26:05.960 final product to be like, what like certain details that 0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:10.960 translate onto film or that you would anticipate would where 0:26:10.960 --> 0:26:14.600 do you see like those differences being like at their greatest. 0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:20.480 So like with Tupacmas Die Right, Obviously this is hard 0:26:20.520 --> 0:26:22.960 to compare because that's a five to six minute video 0:26:23.720 --> 0:26:29.240 and this is a ninety plus minute feature. One of 0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:37.080 the biggest things is so character development and relations, gotcha, Like, 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:41.240 that's a big thing today, as I've been spilling out 0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:46.960 before I go to screenplay and script, character development and relations, 0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:49.440 the web of characters. 0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:51.280 And how they. 0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:57.000 How they carry a story, like not necessarily the plot 0:26:57.119 --> 0:27:03.040 carries the story. Like I was explaining to Chris today 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:10.080 about I was telling her about Toby films and she 0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.480 felt she didn't like them because. 0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:13.240 They were. 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:16.479 Filmed on cell phones. 0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:18.760 Yes, And. 0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:22.720 I explained to her it's more than that, and she 0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.800 thought that was crazy. And I'm like, you know, have 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:28.240 you ever heard d Lo no Hoe? Right, there's a 0:27:28.280 --> 0:27:30.840 ton of songs that are mixed like shit, But if 0:27:30.880 --> 0:27:34.680 the song is compelling, it won't matter. It'll go into 0:27:34.720 --> 0:27:41.919 the story itself and make the story even that much more. 0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.240 Interesting, like shatas Sure. 0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:45.359 Sure, And I was telling her that the issue with 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:50.080 most TOOB movies for people is the lack of story development. 0:27:51.640 --> 0:27:55.040 Like they'll have a decent premise and plot, but the 0:27:55.080 --> 0:27:58.159 web of characters is questionable. There's a lot of extra 0:27:58.280 --> 0:28:03.520 characters that won't make sense. Even this like being inspired 0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:06.960 by Rio Bravo to write this idea, right Real Bravo 0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:08.600 is a movie that came out in the fifties and 0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:11.440 I liked it and use it as just as inspiration 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.920 because it was all about a bunch of you know, 0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:23.600 outlaws coming to to one location for one purpose, you know, 0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.800 and like this again, that was my first John Wayne film, 0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:30.520 so and only so it was one thing to write 0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.160 a really good treatment, excuse me, a really good premise 0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.439 and a really good synopsis that was simple, but to 0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:39.120 flush it out, to put it in position for screenplay 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:42.120 and to put it in position for treatment. I could 0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.240 have seen how if I didn't read John Truby's book, 0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:47.960 it could have been a to B movie in a sense, 0:28:48.040 --> 0:28:51.000 not like oh, it's on TOOB and it's not successful, 0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.120 but in a sense that there could be way too 0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:57.280 much extra slack, like the suit is not Taylor fit 0:28:58.000 --> 0:29:01.959 for the featured time, Like every minute in a film 0:29:02.080 --> 0:29:07.560 is valuable. Sure, Every every word of a story is valuable. 0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:12.840 Every relationship that your main character has is valuable. Yeah, 0:29:12.880 --> 0:29:17.640 so you have to truly use it, you know, correctly 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:21.720 to keep people engaged, especially if you don't have an 0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:25.000 area many you know, especially if you don't have the 0:29:25.080 --> 0:29:28.480 benefit of millions of dollars in marketing, especially if you 0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:29.920 don't have the big screen. 0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:33.760 Yeah, yeah, no, to totally. 0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:35.200 I mean those. 0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:39.840 Types of and I think like the one relationship, I mean, 0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:42.680 obviously it's like that you're alluding to, but yeah, for 0:29:42.720 --> 0:29:46.240 the audience's sake, Like, the most important relationship that the 0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.480 main character can have is the one that the film 0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:54.840 fosters between him and the audience. You know, asked, like 0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:57.840 you see like these patterns and movies where they'll go 0:29:57.920 --> 0:29:59.400 out of their way to give a little bit of 0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:01.280 background or a little bit of this or a little 0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:04.440 bit of that with certain characters certain moments, so that 0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:07.920 you can establish an empathy or a sympathy, some sort 0:30:07.920 --> 0:30:10.720 of relationship between the viewer and the character. 0:30:13.200 --> 0:30:13.520 Yeah. 0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:19.080 And it's funny because I think I did a podcast 0:30:19.120 --> 0:30:22.080 we talked about it before on this podcast where I 0:30:22.120 --> 0:30:25.200 felt like I understood when people said Kendrick's music was 0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:30.600 preachy at times. It was driven entirely too much by dialogue, 0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:35.120 like the messaging was driven by dialogue. And it's also 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.560 why I said gn X was his best album. Not 0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:41.000 only is it the best combination of records and him 0:30:41.000 --> 0:30:45.680 in his most honorable and vulnerable space, right, it's also 0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:49.520 the fact that everything is done in theme. Like people 0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:52.200 don't realize when you hear that singer singing how Los 0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:57.440 Angeles that is, People don't realize it's so many nuanced things, 0:30:57.520 --> 0:31:00.720 titles that create a theme that he gives you. Hey, 0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:05.920 this is la Unapologetically, I just smacked the shit out 0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:08.520 of one of the biggest artists in history that thought 0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:11.160 he could compete with me. And what I'm doing is 0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:15.200 not to be questioned. I'm unapologetically that guy. And he 0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:18.440 never had to say it, but through theme that was 0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:21.840 present everything that he was brand wise and where he 0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:25.320 was at in his life without ever saying it, which 0:31:25.440 --> 0:31:30.080 kind of you know, it's lost to people. People a 0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:32.520 lot of people don't catch the theme, you know, they 0:31:32.520 --> 0:31:37.320 don't catch the messaging of the record because they're enjoying 0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.600 the records and it's such a process from sowing a 0:31:40.760 --> 0:31:45.320 song that again, he's not using narration or dialogue to 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:49.240 establish the theme at this point. The soundtrack of music 0:31:49.360 --> 0:31:53.480 is the theme, the interludes, everything about it screams exactly 0:31:53.520 --> 0:31:57.240 what he wanted to scream, and he just had his business. 0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:01.600 And I think that's kind of the thing, which, you know, 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.880 storytelling at this level was like, I realize, if you 0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:10.240 don't want your idea to come off preachy or condescending, right, 0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:14.480 you have to kind of allow theme to guide the messaging, 0:32:14.640 --> 0:32:18.240 not so much dialogue. Like if my story is based 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:21.360 around the conservative black man, like he should never have 0:32:21.480 --> 0:32:25.960 to say I'm conservative. The theme of his existence, per 0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:31.360 relationship with individuals in the film should give off he's 0:32:31.400 --> 0:32:38.280 a conservative black man. You know, when you see him 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:41.360 and compare him to the to the to the ally, 0:32:41.720 --> 0:32:43.520 it should say that. When you see him in compare 0:32:43.560 --> 0:32:48.520 to the opponent, it should say that true. The the 0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:52.400 the sheuer energy between them should say that without ever 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:53.960 having to say that. He shouldn't have to go on 0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:57.440 a runt about being conservative and blah blah blah, and 0:32:57.560 --> 0:32:59.760 it should never have it should it should. 0:32:59.480 --> 0:33:00.480 Be very minimal. 0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.800 Sure, no, definitely could be just something he's wearing on 0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:12.040 his uniform. So I've been just developing a lot, man, 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:18.760 a lot. What else is going on? Everything going on 0:33:18.800 --> 0:33:20.320 with all the how is the trading going? 0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:22.080 Eating shit at that? 0:33:22.240 --> 0:33:29.080 But I'm overperforming and everything else, so keeping the ship afloat. 0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:33.080 So that's nice. But I continue to just get castrated 0:33:33.200 --> 0:33:35.720 on a weekly basis, and that's unfreaking believable. I don't 0:33:35.720 --> 0:33:38.360 even know how it's about bath we thought impossible. I'm 0:33:38.600 --> 0:33:51.400 baffled by the numeric probability of that shortcoming. Truthfully, it's 0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:54.160 it's something else. I did get some good news though, 0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:59.960 because I was at a similar point a month ago, 0:34:00.120 --> 0:34:07.080 almost exactly where I have gotten to my absolute wits 0:34:07.200 --> 0:34:10.719 end with the people from Oklahoma with that oil deal. 0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:14.520 And they were in southern California and I knew it, 0:34:15.040 --> 0:34:17.239 and I was like, oh, man, I really want to 0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.239 burn down all my social credit lines right now and 0:34:20.320 --> 0:34:23.120 make sure that they feel me, because they got a 0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:25.120 lot of balls taking my money and showing up in 0:34:25.160 --> 0:34:28.520 my backyard like that. That's you're almost telling me to 0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:32.320 do something to you, man. And they were in Palm Springs. 0:34:32.320 --> 0:34:33.920 I was like, I can come down to ten from 0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:36.440 the east or to west. He's sitting right right right, 0:34:36.640 --> 0:34:40.520 my sweet spot, buddy, you wanted he's here like pick one. 0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:45.600 It's like fucking pissed. But yesterday I did get good news. 0:34:45.600 --> 0:34:47.799 One of my wells is officially up and running and 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:49.520 producing oil. So that is good. 0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:50.480 Amen. 0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:53.080 So the oh a couple pieces away. 0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:57.759 I remember you were telling me the story of how 0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:03.200 your family ended up in California, mom's side. Sure, I 0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:05.120 think it was right, how they ended up in Lynwood 0:35:05.120 --> 0:35:06.719 and then how they moved to where your family is 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:07.200 at now. 0:35:07.800 --> 0:35:10.040 Yeah, look correct, Uh. 0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:15.360 They were in uh once, I was in Lynnwood, across 0:35:15.400 --> 0:35:17.399 the street from where Lynwood High School is now. 0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.280 And that's your that's your that's your mom's side. 0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:24.279 Yeah, it's both my mom's side and the other the 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.239 other group over there was up in Hindton Park. 0:35:28.719 --> 0:35:31.120 And how did they end up near the beach. Initially 0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:32.160 when it was cheap. 0:35:32.920 --> 0:35:35.799 There was nobody down there. I don't know how cheap 0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:38.560 it was. It wasn't like it is now. They just 0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:41.960 kind of kept They originally moved to Downey because the 0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:43.759 houses were bigger. So there was a little neighborhood in 0:35:43.760 --> 0:35:48.000 Downy that had like four tedescos in it, like in 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.520 twelve houses. They just dollars. 0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:52.040 And then. 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:56.879 I think, honestly it had to do with I think 0:35:56.880 --> 0:35:58.600 my aunt had allergies or something like that. So they're like, 0:35:58.680 --> 0:36:00.479 you either go to the desert, you can go about 0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:04.439 the water or something where it's not in that area 0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:07.560 where it's like polony or something. Sure, So he was 0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:11.000 down there, thought it was super boring. Orange County at 0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:15.520 times is nineteen sixty one was still Orange County. A 0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:17.320 lot of citrus grows the middle part of the county. 0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.560 Old Santa Anna was there. Newport was tiny, a tiny 0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:23.040 little working port. A couple thousand people live down there. 0:36:23.200 --> 0:36:25.440 He thought it was just terribly boring. Couldn't wait to 0:36:25.440 --> 0:36:31.120 get to work in the morning. That was it been 0:36:31.120 --> 0:36:31.800 there ever since. 0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:37.360 How important is migration in the pursuit of opportunity? Like 0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:42.359 I said, everything obviously, obviously I watch America move from 0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:43.200 place to place. 0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:47.680 It's the most important thing. It's the second most important 0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:53.480 thing behind pursuing knowledge. It's less important now because of 0:36:53.600 --> 0:37:00.200 the nature of certain virtual opportunities, let's say, like be 0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.759 it in certain software tech environments. You know, you can 0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.200 do things like that. But it's the most important thing. 0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.040 Even if you're in tech. I mean, it's not an accent. 0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:14.440 It's not like there's it's not like the greater Silicon 0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:18.600 Valley area from was it San Ramon and Santa Clara 0:37:19.080 --> 0:37:24.879 to wherever happens to have something in the water and 0:37:25.640 --> 0:37:30.480 monopolize all the genius tech brains in the world there. No, 0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:34.160 I mean it started off with a little bit of 0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:37.399 an ecosystem there and then all the money went there. 0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:39.480 So that's where all the vcs are. So if you 0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:42.560 want to have access to capital and access to the 0:37:42.600 --> 0:37:46.920 relationships that will entrust you with capital, you might want 0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:50.320 to go there. I mean, that's pretty true. 0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:54.359 And so that's what happened with Texas kind of over 0:37:54.400 --> 0:37:57.359 the last ten years for people in California, especially black 0:37:57.400 --> 0:37:58.320 people in California. 0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:01.480 Right, Yeah, I mean a lot of moos with Texas. 0:38:01.760 --> 0:38:04.400 They've kind of moved everywhere, it seems. There's a lot 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:08.760 of Vegas, a lot of Arizona, a lot of Texas and Atlanta. 0:38:08.960 --> 0:38:14.480 But Texas has a lot of growth and it's also 0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:21.600 very balanced sheet friendly mean affordable, yeah, yeah, I'm yeah, 0:38:21.719 --> 0:38:24.920 affordable on both sides of the ledger. It's cheaper to 0:38:24.960 --> 0:38:27.080 live there and you can still get good wages. There 0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:29.280 are other places where it's cheaper to live, like Memphis, 0:38:29.320 --> 0:38:31.680 but you're gonna get paid pigeonshited money too. 0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:34.319 Mm. 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:37.240 Like Oklahoma is a good place to probably look into 0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:41.520 a certain opportunities there too, as far as migration. 0:38:42.239 --> 0:38:53.400 Yeah, what if you're what if you're not looking Okay, 0:38:53.560 --> 0:38:56.680 what if the opportunity you can't see it yet? Like right, 0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:59.200 if there's a location that I'm looking at right and 0:38:59.239 --> 0:39:01.920 I'm like, the oportunity isn't there yet, but you know 0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:05.400 for sure because this place is the prime place where 0:39:05.440 --> 0:39:09.600 people with economics they have to go there. Like it's 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:13.160 only so long this place could exist without you know, 0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:18.120 wealth showing up there to maximize you know again, to 0:39:18.280 --> 0:39:19.200 pursue more wealth. 0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:25.160 Yeah, I mean that's sort of the you know, American 0:39:25.280 --> 0:39:28.040 story in a nutshell. And depending on your time frame, 0:39:28.080 --> 0:39:33.279 there's like visionary early and then there's opportunistic early. I like, 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:38.200 so if you're a visionary early, that means there's something 0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:41.440 unique about this and I can make something happen, but 0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:43.360 it doesn't exist yet, so you have the vision to 0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:47.759 make it there. Opportunistic is holy crap, something's happening over 0:39:47.800 --> 0:39:52.239 there and it's not oversaturated yet, so there's opportunity on 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:56.840 the back of somebody who had the vision that needs 0:39:56.840 --> 0:39:59.080 the human capital, and I can go fill that need 0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:03.920 right now at optimal value because you know, there's a 0:40:04.000 --> 0:40:07.120 there's a demand shortage or a supply shortage. 0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:16.680 Rather mmm, so visionary versus opportunistic. So if I'm a 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:22.719 visionary yet, I know that because of the Internet right 0:40:22.760 --> 0:40:26.919 there is it's definitely changed the landscape. But let's say 0:40:26.960 --> 0:40:33.400 the vision is in real estate mhm. Location, Yeah, it 0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:36.680 seems like a longer gamble because you're still waiting on 0:40:37.560 --> 0:40:40.040 you would still be waiting on wealth to come fulfill 0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:40.560 the vision. 0:40:41.440 --> 0:40:42.839 But you know, is inevitable. 0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:52.160 Yeah, uh, time is a serious component. Like let's look 0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:55.920 at like for one, you know example, maybe some of 0:40:55.960 --> 0:40:58.680 the you know, you're a lot of the audiences may 0:40:58.719 --> 0:41:00.719 or might not have heard of I don't know. But 0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:08.960 obviously California's tax structure is pretty cumbersome on business. It's 0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:09.960 no secret. 0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:12.480 Moving a lot of films out of state, moving a 0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:13.520 lot of everything out of state. 0:41:15.160 --> 0:41:19.640 There was one project that got underway, but they kind 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:23.319 of contracted their way into kaibashing it, so to speak, 0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:25.840 to have a new port of La right down in 0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:27.640 like Rosa Rito or something on the other side of 0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:31.520 the Mexican border, and offshore everything down there at way cheaper, 0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:35.520 put it on a train and send it out. Governor 0:41:35.520 --> 0:41:38.600 of California basically said, We're going to put a state 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:40.680 tax on any product that comes in there that's so 0:41:40.760 --> 0:41:42.040 high that you won't be able to do it. 0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.040 He took Trump's idea for California along. 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:52.000 Sure, and I think that was Brown, I believe at 0:41:52.000 --> 0:41:56.960 the time. Don't quote me, but anyway, the guy who 0:41:57.000 --> 0:42:00.200 started building it was the visionary. Now his vision didn't work, 0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.799 but had it worked and he put it together, and 0:42:03.840 --> 0:42:07.719 then you know, you move down there because you have 0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:12.920 a unique ability to launch some super automated arm in 0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:15.879 that port that doesn't have union labor restrictions. You would 0:42:15.920 --> 0:42:19.280 be the opportunistic party, as the other person was the visionary. 0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:26.560 MM So this idea, I'm pretty much a visionary at 0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:26.960 this point. 0:42:27.360 --> 0:42:32.240 Probably you're a visionary kind of guy. 0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:33.879 This is deep. 0:42:34.040 --> 0:42:36.439 I gotta figure it out, man, because I know it's there, 0:42:36.840 --> 0:42:40.799 Like I know when God is sending me the vision soul. 0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:44.040 Even if I can't see everything that I'm supposed to, 0:42:45.120 --> 0:42:47.400 I can receive the vision because I'm not drunk a 0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:53.759 high or delusional or yeah, you gotta be a little 0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:55.759 delusional to get the vision, for sure. 0:42:55.840 --> 0:43:00.160 A little bit, a little bit. But you anybody can 0:43:00.920 --> 0:43:03.040 have a vision. You know, you have to be rooted 0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:09.200 enough in reality to you know, work it through actually 0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:14.480 being a worthwhile vision. Otherwise it's just, you know, just something. 0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:19.319 Let me ask you a question. I wanted to ask 0:43:19.320 --> 0:43:25.760 you this. Well, it's not important. 0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:29.920 Shit, fire away. We've got sixteen minutes. 0:43:30.400 --> 0:43:33.879 You don't think you don't think capitalism right, You don't 0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:35.640 think capitalism would be better. 0:43:35.400 --> 0:43:36.799 Off if it had a cap. 0:43:39.360 --> 0:43:44.120 No, I don't think growth would have a I watched 0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.600 a great video. I should send it to you. This 0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:50.680 guy on that wealthy on show that I like talked 0:43:50.680 --> 0:43:54.520 about and there's a book by like my intellectual mentor 0:43:54.560 --> 0:43:56.920 of sorts though he's just an author and doesn't know 0:43:57.000 --> 0:44:00.839 that he's my mentor. Uh, wrote a book called Life 0:44:00.840 --> 0:44:02.960 after Capitalism. This guy was talking about how we are 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:10.000 like capitalism no longer exists essentially in the framework as 0:44:10.080 --> 0:44:16.360 how we understand it, you know, with productions, margins, reinvestment, growth, 0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:20.640 like that whole thing we're that's no longer a thing. 0:44:20.719 --> 0:44:28.640 Now now we're dealing with world banks, manipulated currency, quantitative easings, 0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:33.640 you know, interest rates to support debt and overspending, and 0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:37.279 artificial injections of capital to keep the whole thing from collapsing. 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:39.200 Mm. 0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:46.760 So it's really not capitalists in any conventional real sense, 0:44:46.920 --> 0:44:50.440 like value as we know it has been distorted beyond 0:44:50.440 --> 0:45:01.400 the point of recognizability and we're just yeah, kind of 0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:03.640 kind of a long for a ride what we can. 0:45:06.920 --> 0:45:07.919 So you mm hmm. 0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:10.760 But like even in like in a normal sense capitalism 0:45:10.840 --> 0:45:14.680 had a cap then then you're cap and growth. 0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:18.920 And your cap growth. 0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:27.359 Yeah, everyone who's tried it, that's been the outcome. That's 0:45:27.360 --> 0:45:29.640 been the outcome because most of the margins don't change 0:45:29.640 --> 0:45:30.880 that much. The scale does. 0:45:35.560 --> 0:45:35.960 Mm hmm. 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:42.000 And big visions cost big money. 0:45:43.239 --> 0:45:46.200 But do you think we lost something when McDonald's went 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:48.480 like this big? 0:45:48.800 --> 0:45:53.080 Like as like I watched the film The Founder, and 0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:54.839 obviously it's a movie, so it don't have to be real. 0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.400 But even the concept of saying, hey, if we stop 0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:01.839 using real lifce cream and we use a powder mix, right, 0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:06.359 we maximize profit and make you know, you don't see 0:46:06.400 --> 0:46:08.080 the issue in that type of quality. 0:46:09.600 --> 0:46:14.560 I do but it's interesting. Like in the food world, 0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:19.560 the cancer I don't think is McDonald's. McDonald's offering it's 0:46:19.600 --> 0:46:23.960 pretty straightforward. You're getting something cheaper, and it's cheaper like 0:46:25.120 --> 0:46:27.000 literally and proverbially. 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:27.520 You know. 0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:34.000 The companies that I don't like. You said, there's only 0:46:34.080 --> 0:46:36.520 like a couple of companies in all those chain restaurants 0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:42.239 like Chili's and Red Lobster, all those things that give 0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:44.960 you a sit down dining experience at a price that 0:46:45.040 --> 0:46:49.520 a mom and pop restaurant can match, you know, normally, like, 0:46:49.760 --> 0:46:52.719 but they've scaled out and their quality is shitty. So 0:46:52.760 --> 0:46:55.960 now you're paying thirty five dollars to have a sit 0:46:56.080 --> 0:47:00.239 down dinner that absolutely sucks. But they've driven all all 0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:04.920 the small entrepreneurs out of the local marketplace. 0:47:05.200 --> 0:47:07.800 Kind of like what Best Buys did to the independent 0:47:07.840 --> 0:47:08.520 record stores. 0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:12.440 Yeah, yeah, like that Best Biden come out and offer 0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:15.440 a one penny CD that nobody could mash, but it 0:47:15.480 --> 0:47:18.120 was shitty quality. That's kind of what McDonald's did to me. 0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:19.480 It evolved in that. 0:47:21.360 --> 0:47:24.400 These others they changed their business right right then they 0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:27.920 changed their business eventually went from making money off burgers 0:47:27.920 --> 0:47:31.560 and fries to really having a different level of interest 0:47:31.640 --> 0:47:36.799 in real estate. Sure, sure, so, But you don't think 0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:41.600 that happens every time as you pursue profit, like you 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:44.080 have to start to foresake quality first. 0:47:44.719 --> 0:47:45.759 Maybe like in and out is. 0:47:45.760 --> 0:47:49.480 The closest you can get to going too far to 0:47:49.520 --> 0:47:53.000 where you could keep some level of quality, you know, 0:47:53.120 --> 0:47:54.640 but still have growth. 0:47:58.280 --> 0:48:01.600 In certain areas. That's true, And it's not like it's 0:48:02.200 --> 0:48:06.239 there's not a whole lot of innovation in food, you know, 0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:09.480 Like it's pretty much just how can you make how 0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:11.839 can you produce a cheaper price per unit, or how 0:48:11.840 --> 0:48:15.440 can you convince people that they should be happier with 0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:19.000 this unit at this price? And I think they did 0:48:19.000 --> 0:48:21.759 a little bit of both. I think they re established 0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:25.120 consumer expectation. I just saw a picture. I don't know 0:48:25.120 --> 0:48:27.360 if it's true or not. The internet's full of shit anyway, 0:48:27.640 --> 0:48:30.200 that showed a big mac in like nineteen eighty eight. 0:48:30.360 --> 0:48:32.480 It's like the size of my arm, and then this 0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:35.399 one's like this big. You know, now it could fit 0:48:35.440 --> 0:48:37.920 in the pall my hands tight. So they they've reduced 0:48:37.920 --> 0:48:41.319 so much sense. It's probably true. It is true, So 0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:45.520 there's that also, But at the same time, you look 0:48:45.520 --> 0:48:54.799 at innovation and the capabilities of the cell phone or 0:48:54.840 --> 0:49:01.440 technologies and computers or something, or production of cars or 0:49:01.560 --> 0:49:05.680 production of houses. It's like not even that, Like I 0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:12.560 think that it's we've lost the you know, fifty thousand 0:49:12.560 --> 0:49:16.920 dollars home, but there's way more value in the two 0:49:17.000 --> 0:49:18.879 hundred thousand dollars home than there used to be. I mean, 0:49:18.880 --> 0:49:22.279 it's like packed with all sorts of energy. It's more 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:25.040 flame retard and the amount of like house fires is 0:49:25.080 --> 0:49:29.919 down like a third percent generation over generations. So there's 0:49:30.000 --> 0:49:32.240 there's a lot more quality out there in certain areas. 0:49:32.280 --> 0:49:35.239 There's a lot more efficiency in others. And then in 0:49:35.320 --> 0:49:41.040 things like hamburgers, is there just less meat? 0:49:41.360 --> 0:49:45.120 Is there really more efficiency in it? It just feels 0:49:45.120 --> 0:49:48.000 like there's more efficiency in things that are like what's 0:49:48.040 --> 0:49:52.319 the world I'm looking for? I always tell you it's 0:49:52.320 --> 0:49:53.320 the killer of quality. 0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:57.160 Yeah, he's a convenience convenience, Like, I don't. 0:49:57.000 --> 0:49:59.600 Know if it's efficiency as much as it's convenient in 0:49:59.640 --> 0:50:02.160 a lot of these in a lot of these departments. 0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:04.160 That's what it feels like. 0:50:04.960 --> 0:50:07.640 Yeah, like even a house now right, I agree with you, 0:50:07.719 --> 0:50:11.320 Like it definitely is made to handle fired a lot different, 0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:14.319 but it's also like a car. Like a car is 0:50:14.360 --> 0:50:17.879 more efficient with gas, right it is. That's fact. It's 0:50:17.920 --> 0:50:21.200 efficient with gas, but every other part of it is 0:50:21.239 --> 0:50:25.320 a piece of shit, Like you're not built to last 0:50:25.719 --> 0:50:26.480 like they like. 0:50:27.120 --> 0:50:29.920 Statistically, I don't think that's true. I think the miles 0:50:30.040 --> 0:50:36.279 driven per major like repair has gone up a ton, 0:50:36.600 --> 0:50:38.600 but the cost per repair has gone up a ton. 0:50:40.680 --> 0:50:42.719 But you know what I'm saying at that point. 0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:48.120 Yeah, there's certainly no style and appeal and the design 0:50:48.200 --> 0:50:49.360 of any of the cars anymore. 0:50:49.800 --> 0:50:53.960 But even the complexity of how it rides, you know 0:50:53.960 --> 0:50:57.399 what I mean, even the like like. 0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:01.239 I don't know, I don't know if I'm just being 0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:05.920 an old man complaining or like, it's a real valid point. 0:51:05.800 --> 0:51:08.600 Where we're talking about the pursuit of. 0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:17.120 Efficiency, but really behind it, you know, behind the curtains, 0:51:17.280 --> 0:51:19.759 Like it might look like a magic trick of efficiency 0:51:19.800 --> 0:51:22.280 to the fans, you know, in the audience, but behind 0:51:22.320 --> 0:51:25.520 the curtain, it's all the it's all convenience. It's all 0:51:25.560 --> 0:51:28.080 the convenience of how you know, they could keep you 0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:30.400 in bed with them, how they could keep you paying them, 0:51:30.719 --> 0:51:31.800 you know, all of the above. 0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:39.480 Yeah, I don't know enough about old cars or old 0:51:39.600 --> 0:51:42.359 cars when they were new, you know, to be able 0:51:42.400 --> 0:51:44.720 to compare it to anything, because it matters. 0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:46.360 Old cars when they were new is a lot different 0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:47.280 than old cars. 0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:51.279 Yeah, So like I don't really know. I mean, I've 0:51:51.320 --> 0:51:55.319 had bad luck with cars and good luck with cars. 0:51:55.440 --> 0:51:59.000 It's just then I imagine that's probably always been the case. 0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:04.000 So how do you how do you embrace how do 0:52:04.040 --> 0:52:10.000 you embrace the convenience of life knowing that it kind 0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:15.200 of knowing that it's kind of voided of quality. I 0:52:15.239 --> 0:52:17.440 think what most people do is they just look around, 0:52:17.440 --> 0:52:20.399 and that makes them feel okay, but they really only 0:52:20.400 --> 0:52:22.440 look and left to right. They're not looking at time 0:52:22.719 --> 0:52:28.000 and knows as another metric. You know what, I I 0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:32.240 don't know a perspective. I don't think it's void of quality. 0:52:32.280 --> 0:52:33.640 I think it's void of character. 0:52:36.440 --> 0:52:40.920 I think it's become so streamlined and efficient with mass 0:52:40.960 --> 0:52:45.000 production that there is no more uniqueness, or uniqueness is 0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:49.200 way watered down, you know, and and everything has become 0:52:50.560 --> 0:52:55.200 extremely like monochromatic rhetorically. 0:52:54.560 --> 0:52:58.200 Speaking, like the NBA. Everybody wants to be the Golden 0:52:58.239 --> 0:53:00.200 State Warriors. Everybody want to shoot threes. 0:53:00.880 --> 0:53:03.640 Everybody wants to run the same offense everybody wants to 0:53:03.680 --> 0:53:08.320 have the same exact lineup, everything is the same. 0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:10.880 That's really done. 0:53:11.640 --> 0:53:15.320 That's where capitalism is now, maybe not before we were born, 0:53:15.600 --> 0:53:18.920 when capitalism was all about creating something that didn't exist, 0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:22.319 versus now it's a thousand people doing the exact same 0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:24.560 thing in the pursuit and profit. 0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:27.000 That's another thing that this guy mentioned on this video, 0:53:27.000 --> 0:53:27.920 and I'll send it to you if you want to 0:53:27.920 --> 0:53:30.480 watch it. You can if you're not doing But he 0:53:30.640 --> 0:53:33.160 was talking about and there's something that Jamaican Andre and 0:53:33.200 --> 0:53:37.800 I get you about all the time is these private 0:53:37.840 --> 0:53:41.759 equity firms that find a company that's struggling, and they 0:53:41.760 --> 0:53:47.759 have no innovative answers at all. They just buy the 0:53:47.800 --> 0:53:54.239 thing for X dollars, go through fire everybody that they 0:53:54.239 --> 0:54:01.560 could possibly survive firing, cut every cost possibly could survive cutting, 0:54:02.120 --> 0:54:05.839 and then, you know, tip the balance sheet briefly back 0:54:05.840 --> 0:54:08.840 into the positive and sell the company, you know, and 0:54:09.080 --> 0:54:13.360 then the company has to run in that really bare bones, 0:54:14.080 --> 0:54:20.319 shitty way forever unless some unless Albert Einstein walks in 0:54:20.320 --> 0:54:22.880 the door and splits the atom inside of that fucking company. 0:54:23.680 --> 0:54:26.040 And that's a serious thing too. But I think also 0:54:26.080 --> 0:54:29.759 people don't like now people are obsessed with security now, 0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:32.840 like you look at every time there's an economic downturn, Now, 0:54:32.960 --> 0:54:35.120 what do we get. We got fifty thousand laws that 0:54:35.280 --> 0:54:37.919 day to make sure there's never an economic downturn again. 0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:40.719 You know, whereas before it would happen companies go out 0:54:40.719 --> 0:54:42.600 of business, new ones who coming people. Now it's like 0:54:43.160 --> 0:54:45.200 you can't let such and such quarter business becuse people 0:54:45.200 --> 0:54:49.399 will lose their jobs. They'll lose their jobs seventy years 0:54:49.440 --> 0:54:51.239 ago for an hour and a half because somebody moved 0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:54.400 into the building and needed workers, you know. So so 0:54:54.880 --> 0:54:58.600 we've constrained things so much as we've turned into like 0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:03.440 a desperately low end society on so many levels. And 0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:06.360 that and people are leverage to the fucking gilts. So 0:55:06.480 --> 0:55:10.120 you can't afford to be unemployed for ninety days or 0:55:10.120 --> 0:55:14.040 you're totally fucked. So I get that too, because shit's 0:55:14.040 --> 0:55:14.799 a way overpriced. 0:55:18.880 --> 0:55:21.480 Then, looking out for tuning into the No Senters podcast. 0:55:21.760 --> 0:55:24.520 Please do us a favorite, subscribe, rate, comment, and share. 0:55:24.960 --> 0:55:27.400 This episode was recorded right here on the West coast 0:55:27.400 --> 0:55:30.920 of the USA and produced about the Black Effect podcast network. 0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:34.160 And I heard radio Yeah,
