17
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: ask you. Man, I could squeaar it. Man. Was Dream

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Champs ever? On serious?

19
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: There was a version before or was ever Drink Champs.

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: So years before a few years before Drink Champs, Norrie

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 3: had moved to Miami. Several years before Drinking Champs, Noory

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: had moved to Miami. He moved by my neighborhood where

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: I had my studio. He started working out of my studio.

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: This is after like he did that Hekatone stuff that

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: he did and even though even though I'm Latino, I

26
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: was never into Hekaton and he knew.

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: That I was just a diehard hip hop head, right.

28
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: And so he moved moved to Miami because you know,

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: the industry kind of turned their back on him, you know,

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: at least.

31
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: The English side of the industry, you know.

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: So he came to Miami to take a break from

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 3: New York and he's like, yo, bring me back to

34
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: hip hop basically, And so we started working out of

35
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: my studio and a homie named Leo G who was

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: at XM.

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: This was before Serious Excent merged.

38
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: He was like, I think he was like a program

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: director at XM at that point he had sixty six

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: Raw with his channel. So he offered to us to

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: do a radio show that we could submit. We could

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: record it in my studio here in Miami and send

43
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: it in which I don't think at the time they

44
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: were doing that. You either had to be at their studios,

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: which at the time XM was in DC. And so

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: we started a radio show which Noorri wanted to name.

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: He named it Militament Crazy Raw Radio. He wanted to

48
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: include everybody's name. Militatment is Nori Crazy Hoo production his mind.

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: Raw was the channel we were on, sixty six Raw Radio,

50
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: and if you look back, there's a couple of clips

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 3: on YouTube of that show. It was a weekly show

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: and we had we had DJ doing a mixed show

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 3: in it, and it looks and sound just like Drink Champs.

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 3: We introduced ourselves the same way, you know, we was drinking, drinking,

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: tiger bowing back then, and then we would have like

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: a couple guests because we were like in deep South Miami,

57
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: and not that many people made it out to us,

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: like Fat Joe I think came through Swiss Beats a

59
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: couple of people, but it was mainly like us and

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: the crew just talking reckless and talking about current events

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: and hip hop and stuff like that. And that was

62
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: that looked it sounded like Drink Champs, and that's kind

63
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,839
Speaker 3: of like what inspired eventually to want to do Drink

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: Champs as a podcast.

65
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: I remember that shit, dog. I heard that shit one

66
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: time when I swear I thought I was tripping and

67
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: I was actually arguing with the Homi the other day.

68
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: I said, man, I think Drink Champ has been around

69
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: for a long time, and y'all he here, Oh, one

Speaker 2: Yeah, ten years.

83
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: And then before that, like you said, we had that

84
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: show which we were imagine we were on XM before

85
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: the merger. Then we were on Serious X and we

86
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: did that show for like three years, and we were

87
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: on sixty six Raw, on Hip Hop Nation, on back Spend,

88
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: like all the different channels that they had, the hip

89
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: hop channels.

90
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: We were on all those stations, moving around.

91
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: How long did it take before y'all start making money?

92
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: Because this is one thing I tell people, how long

93
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: started taking y'all start making real money.

94
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: It took us about six months to make any money

95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: from doing the podcast. We had hit.

96
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 3: We were I mean, we hit from the gate. First

97
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: episode was a hit. But what happened was we were

98
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: on CBS Radio. It was just audio at the time.

99
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: I mean, we were filming from the beginning. I knew

100
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: video was the future of it, so we were filming

101
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: from the beginning, but we were just using that as

102
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: clips to promote the audio. We're on CBS Radio for distribution,

103
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: and it was such a big deal that they were

104
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: using the same advertising people that they used for all

105
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: their regular radio and they didn't really know what to

106
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: make of the podcast side of things, a little less

107
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: this show called Drink Champs, you know, just talking reckless,

108
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: you know.

109
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: Talking about him like it was just they didn't know

110
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: what to make of it.

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: And the numbers were so crazy that they couldn't even

112
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 3: sell it because they were like, you deserve this much money,

113
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 3: but we you're not.

114
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: You haven't been around long enough so for us to

115
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: like sell it to the advertisers.

116
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: So they just couldn't figure out how to sell us

117
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: to get ad revenue.

118
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: It took six months before we saw our first check.

119
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Well, they wasn't messing with no podcasts back then. I

120
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: remember we had gangst the Chrome because we was also

121
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: in the CBS building. Man, the homies out here, we

122
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: wasn't because y'all was on play out of it. We

123
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: were on this journey called Intercom, something like the Intercom,

124
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: and we had came in like the number three show

125
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: when we first started us the number three show and

126
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: the whole thing. They gave all these people all this money. Man,

127
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: for I forget the name of all these different companies.

128
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: They started giving a big bread to right, and we

129
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: were number three, and I started talking to actually the

130
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: ad department about getting asked and everything, and they told us, man,

131
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: people aren't going to advertise on the show called the

132
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: Gangster Chronicles.

133
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: Right, I imagine.

134
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, early days those were, and that was a corporate structure.

135
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: They didn't know what to do with with podcasts.

136
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: Little you know, hip hop podcast you know, our show

137
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: were drinking, So the advertisers were nervous and it was

138
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: all new to people, so they just they couldn't sell

139
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: that at all.

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Man.

141
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 3: But it was funny because we'd go to the CBS

142
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: Radio building and it was all fans of it. But

143
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: They're like, Yo, we can't sell you guys, Like the

144
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 3: advertisers are just scared. And then, like I said, six

145
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: months later and we had to make that choice, knowing myself, like,

146
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: we're gonna invest in this push it.

147
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: We know we got to hit here.

148
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: We're not seeing a dime from it where we're putting

149
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: out money, but we saw the vision and the future.

150
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: And then once that first check came, you know, six

151
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 3: months later, from then on, it just grew.

152
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: Man, y'all got y'all got one of the craziest shows

153
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: out there. Man. I know one of the episodes that

154
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: really tripped me out, man, DMX episode.

155
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: That first DMX was crazy.

156
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, y'all had DMX. Man, what do you be thinking

157
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: when you be sitting there, like looking at this shit

158
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: in real time?

159
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 3: Sometimes, bro, I mean, look, I try to maintain the

160
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: fan and me of the culture and hip hop, so

161
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: I'm enjoying every moment of it, but sometimes surreal, like

162
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: that episode was crazy because X didn't even know what

163
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 3: a podcast was when he sat with us.

164
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: We could do a documentary.

165
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 3: About that one episode because at that time one of

166
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: our managers of Drink Chance Management was this dude a LEI.

167
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys knew, i'llleave.

168
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: From the Death Jam days, he worked with DMX also,

169
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: he was part of dm DMX's management, so Ali was

170
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: working with us, so he was able to, you know,

171
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: talk X into sitting with us. But X was like, well,

172
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: I don't know what a podcast is. You know you're

173
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: telling me to do it. I'm cool with Nori. I'm

174
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: down to do whatever. I don't know what it is,

175
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: but I'm down to figure it out with you guys.

176
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: So he's like, come to my hotel room. He was

177
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 3: in Miami doing he was gonna do a show or something.

178
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 3: He's like, come to my hotel room. We'll do it

179
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: at the hotel. So we're like, all right, how are

180
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: we going. We hadn't really done it like that in

181
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: a hotel, but we were ready. We were running and gunning,

182
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: setting up wherever. And I was used to that in

183
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: my from my mixtape days. I would set up. I

184
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: would go to conventions and set up a whole little

185
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: studio on the hotel lobby and artists.

186
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: And get drops.

187
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: I probably got you eight at some point, like like

188
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: our drops, freestyles, everything. So I was used to that.

189
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: So we boom. We go to the lobby, we set

190
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: up shop. We tell the people the front like, now

191
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: I don't worry about it. We used to turn down

192
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: the lobby music. They're like, what's going now? You go,

193
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: you gotta let us, But they kind of nervous. They

194
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: see a bunch of dudes there, so they complyed, but

195
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: you know, we being polite and professional, but they don't

196
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: know what's going on. And then X takes forever. He

197
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: finally comes down, he sees the stuff, but he's like, yo,

198
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: I'm not ready yet. And then him and NORRII go

199
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: outside and they talked for a while and they start

200
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: drinking Henny. So a lot of people that watch that

201
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: episode they think that X, you know, like like he

202
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: might have like uh gone back on the drugs or

203
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 3: you know whatever, like relapse or something, because it looked

204
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 3: like he was. As far as I'm concerned, the only

205
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: thing that he did was drink some Henny. That I

206
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: mean a lot of Haney he drank, you know. So

207
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: we had an issue with the We were using straight

208
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 3: up pro tools to record these things, and I was

209
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 3: bringing a whole like a whole bunch of studio equipment

210
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: even to bring with us and.

211
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: Our pro tools.

212
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: It shut down us and we had to like reinstall

213
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: it and we're using the hotel WiFi.

214
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 2: You already know that's fucked up.

215
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, So my engineer is like nervous, and it's

216
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: not even our regular engineer. Our other engineer was out

217
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: of town. So we had a dude filling in and

218
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: he was sweat and he's like, we're like, yo, come on,

219
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 3: what's going on? Instead, it was going to take forty

220
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: five minutes for that thing to get back up and going.

221
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: So we had to convince XK like yo, chill. Nori

222
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: had to sit there and just talk to him. They outside,

223
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: they drinking, So by the time he finally gets the

224
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: sits down with us, they don'et gone through a whole

225
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 3: bottle of Hennessy. And then he's sitting down. He don't

226
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: really know what this is. He's used to regular radio interviews.

227
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: He doesn't know what this intimate setting is all about.

228
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 3: But he just rolls with Nori and with us and

229
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 3: we sit down, and then you see what that becomes.

230
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 3: You know, he gets emotional, he prays, he gets angry.

231
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: Every emotion is in that episode. He does the prayer

232
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: and and that just that episode is the one that

233
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: really like like was out.

234
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: Of here for us.

235
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say to me, that

236
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: was the one man that really just because I was

237
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: a fan from day one, that we wanted to really

238
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: just put y'all on flight status.

239
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: And it almost didn't come out what he didn't want

240
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: it to. He came back, he's like, Yo, let's do that.

241
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: Scrap that one, let's do it over. And we're like, nah, man, scrap,

242
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: what are we talking about here. He's like, come to

243
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: my crib and I don't know where he lived in,

244
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: somewhere in upstate New York or something. He said, y'all

245
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 3: fly out here and we'll redo the whole ship. And

246
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: you know, in podcasting, when you do a whole episode

247
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: with somebody to redo that, it's not gonna be the same.

248
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 3: We don't had a few of those, you know, it's

249
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: it's difficult to redo that that that same organic you know,

250
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 3: Ley is gone as ship completely completely. So it took

251
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: a lot of finessing to convince them to just let

252
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 3: us ride with it. I don't think he was ever

253
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: to really convinced, but he just you know, we ended

254
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: up putting it out and and that and then the

255
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 3: rest is history.

256
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: How often has that happened with ya? Because y'all got

257
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: some crazy ass episodes, especially when people get the drinking.

258
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: We've had a couple of people, you know, who signed

259
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: the paper and then later on wanted to like cancel

260
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 3: it or edit, you know, edit it crazy. And early

261
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: on we were real hardcore about not editing.

262
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: Early on, we we've softened up to that, you know.

263
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 3: And and also we were never gonna keep something in

264
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: there that was gonna incriminate somebody or talk about they

265
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: family life like they kids. They wise. We we we

266
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: never were going to keep anything like that. But anything

267
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: else was to us was like it's fair game. If

268
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: you talked about it, you were grown ass man or

269
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: woman and you know you knew what she was doing.

270
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: So but we've gotten a little bit softer on that

271
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 3: where we kind of like respect the guests a little

272
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: bit more to be like, all right, if it's if

273
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: you really feel strongly about editing something, you know, we'll consider.

274
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: Even on our end, we sometimes we're like, you know,

275
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 3: that's not going farewell for that person, and so we

276
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 3: might edit something out, like my from my point of view,

277
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: and I'm sure, nor it feels the same way. The

278
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: show is not built around gossip. It's not meant to like,

279
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: you know, got your moments or click bait, like, really,

280
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 3: we're here to celebrate the artist, the culture of the legacy.

281
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: So how are we gonna be celebrating you if it's

282
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: things are gonna come out, it's gonna make you look bad.

283
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I always got from it. Right now, man,

284
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: in the time we live in the day, it's all

285
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: about gossip. It's all about trying to slipping.

286
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: It's all about putting somebody on front street or catching

287
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 4: somebody and some bullshit. And I think you get more

288
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 4: rapport with motherfuckers when you can just be up front

289
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 4: and original and you know that way, motherfuckers don't be

290
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: afraid to come on your show, and sure, well me

291
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 4: that way you can secure a lot of guests because

292
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 4: if they can look at other episodes and see, oh man,

293
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: these motherfuckers are straight, you know what I'm saying, and

294
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: they good as a motherfucker. So I don't feel threatened

295
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 4: by going on like y'all feeling like I'm gonna get

296
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: tricked into some shit.

297
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: You yeah, I mean, people in the early days. People

298
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: were nervous about coming to drink chams.

299
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: It was not that easy to get guests.

300
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: If you look at a lot of the guests, it

301
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: was a lot of people who were cool with me

302
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: and Nori, you know so and he's still NOORI still

303
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 3: had to convince people that are like yeah, because we

304
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 3: come from that era where you just don't go out

305
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: there and talk a lot. No, you know, you don't

306
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: do the video, you don't take the picture, like unless

307
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: you're doing a press run and it's about the project.

308
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: We come from that era, but we knew what we

309
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: were doing was important. We knew that we wanted to

310
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: platform our peers at the very least, and the pioneers

311
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: before them that weren't getting platformed at the time, you know,

312
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: they weren't able to go on the radio anymore. So

313
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: we felt it was important. So eventually when people come

314
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: on the show, be like, all right, this ain't what

315
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 3: I thought it was. And you know, we always tell

316
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 3: people like you don't have to get drunk, like that's

317
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 3: on you, Like if you want to drinks, on you.

318
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: If you don't want to drink, you don't even got

319
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: a drink.

320
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: Well, most people do want to go didn get trucked though.

321
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: People won't just have fun.

322
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: And that's the whole thing is we celebrate and like,

323
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: let's have fun, but you know, do it responsibly.

324
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: You know the fact that y'all do have all that

325
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: liquor up there and all that if y'all ever had

326
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: any serious smoke up there.

327
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 2: Like you're talking about what we smoke, No, I'm.

328
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Talking about somebody wanting to scrap.

329
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: Like like something.

330
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

331
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had a i mean, look, very few.

332
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: Like for the most part, you would think it'd be

333
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: a lot more beef and a lot more shit happening

334
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: on the show because of the liquor. But for the

335
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: ten years that we've been doing it, you know, about

336
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 3: to be ten years, it's.

337
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: Been pretty smooth.

338
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: But there's been a handful, maybe not even a handful,

339
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: like two or three guests that maybe got into their

340
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: feelings in the liquor and then in the moment wanted

341
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 3: to cancel the show and walk off the show and

342
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: shut the show down, and and it's like and try

343
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 3: to take over the show, and you know, it was

344
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: the liquor talking.

345
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 2: It wasn't even.

346
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: Them, right, And what happens is people will come on

347
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: the show, and it's like they want to out drink

348
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: me or Nori or Norri or they want to and

349
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: it's like, nah, we kind of our body's already used

350
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: to it. We used to sitting down for like three hours,

351
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: four hours and just drinking. We might get up at

352
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 3: some point at the end and we're out of here.

353
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 3: Like my wife is like, damn, you got fucked up,

354
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: and I'm on the show. I'm okay, But when I

355
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: get home it's a different story. But a lot of

356
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: people aren't used to that drinking that much. And and

357
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: then you see like in the second hour, they just

358
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: shift and there's been a couple of people that got

359
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: in their feelings that they got a little bit out

360
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: of line. But whatever, nothing ever, nothing real serious has

361
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 3: ever happened to the point where you.

362
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: Know people put hands on anybody, So you ain't.

363
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Never heard that one guess that you was like, man,

364
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: I might have to put hands on this food.

365
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I'm telling you, Yeah, it happened.

366
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: Like like there's been times I think I've gotten more

367
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: mad than Norri, Like Noorri be the one telling me Jill,

368
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: because we've had an issue where there's someone who's like Yo,

369
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: they want to shut down the show, like they're going

370
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: to our camera people, shut it down, shut it down.

371
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, Yo, that's not for you to do. You

372
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: gotta watch out, bro. You want to talk to me

373
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: and Noria. That's one thing. You don't start going to

374
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: our camera people and our staff and try them to

375
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 3: shut ship down. And this is over, Like nah, man,

376
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 3: take us to the side and we can tell it.

377
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: But well, it did happen with Rory one time. From

378
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: Rory and Mal he got upset. I forgot what the

379
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: reason was, and uh and and I forget who the

380
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: other people were. There was someone not that long ago,

381
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: like a year ago.

382
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: I can't I can't remember.

383
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: The whole showdown.

384
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 4: Would they just get too intoxicated, feel like they said

385
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: something out of line and then they just like no

386
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 4: man or or or they get into their feelings about

387
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 4: a question that's asked.

388
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 2: That or something. I think I'm trying. I want to remember.

389
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: I actually want to tell you who.

390
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: It was not too long ago, but the most recent

391
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: one was someone that heard someone in the You've been

392
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 3: to the show, so you know you see we got

393
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 3: not only we got staff, but we got our homies

394
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: there too. And someone in the background made a comment,

395
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 3: but it wasn't nothing negative or anything. They were just

396
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 3: like chiming in and the guests took it, like I

397
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 3: guess in their in their mind of already being kind

398
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: of like, you know, a little tipsy, they thought someone

399
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 3: was saying something negative in the background, and then it

400
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 3: just they switched on us and they just got up

401
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: and they like.

402
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: Who's saying that? What was going on?

403
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: Now?

404
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: This this is a setup and they just started like

405
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: wilding out and I'm trying to remember who it's an

406
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: artist that's a producer too. Man, if it comes to me,

407
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 3: I'll let y'all know. It wasn't no no, no, no,

408
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 3: no no.

409
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: It wasn't quick. But uh but.

410
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's happened just very few times, and nothing

411
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 3: ended up happening so serious where where it got to

412
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: that point, you know, where hands were thrown. It was

413
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 3: just we ended up talking it out. But those were

414
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: some couple ten times.

415
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: Because it's a real fire. But I can't see nobody

416
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: coming up their tripping because they're all on Really, you know,

417
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: everything is cool up there right right, Yeah, everything is real,

418
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: real cool. You know. One of the things I thought,

419
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: I thought Norri and Lamar Oldham was going strap scrap

420
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: because they had a like he was looking at noorrdy

421
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of crazy.

422
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 2: That would have been a sloppy scrap happened.

423
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: I think they was both faded, man, and like the

424
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: way Lamorrow was looking at me said, man, they're about

425
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: to get down.

426
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was. That was one of the

427
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 3: crazier ones. But not when we when we wrapped, nothing

428
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: happened at all.

429
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: Because y'all for sure don't y'all really don't force y'all

430
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: don't force nobody to drink or smoke. And people go

431
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: up there to get faded because they want to. And

432
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: I think that's what people think when they come on

433
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: the show, that y'all up there just force the people

434
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 1: to drink Nona.

435
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: And that's the thing, you know.

436
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm proud of the moments when we have guests that

437
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: they're like, yo, I'm not drinking anymore, or I don't drink,

438
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: and it's the same vibe, you know, like and I

439
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 3: always tell people, don't worry me and R will do

440
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 3: the drinking for you, Like we're gonna have fun, We're

441
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 3: gonna drink, and you're just vibe with us. And now

442
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 3: it's been we don't force nobody to drink, and it's

443
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: still still the same type of episode.

444
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: Man, Nix. You ever think that you ever magine, man,

445
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: that y'all show would become like a part of the

446
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: lexicon of hip hop. Man, because y'all a shit dog,

447
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: y'all won the awards, man and everything else. I'll see

448
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: y'all out there killing it. Man. It been killing it

449
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: for a long time.

450
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: Never man, And for me, just a DJ from Miami,

451
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 3: you a mixtape DJ out of Miami. To be a

452
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: part of this, it's been a dream coming true. To

453
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 3: be honest with you, man, Like I'm I still maintained

454
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 3: the fan in me. I wouldn't do it if I

455
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 3: didn't still maintain the fan in me. And I love

456
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: every moment of it, man. And it's dope because I've

457
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: been able to not only do something that's put on

458
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: for my city. I correct, my town, my city, my crew.

459
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: But now it's something even bigger than that. You know,

460
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: it's really taking a life of its own. It's cemented

461
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: in hip hop, which I would have never thought. You

462
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: would have told seventeen eighteen year old me that I

463
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 3: would be a part of.

464
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: Something like that.

465
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 3: I would have been like, Nah, you're crazy. I'm just

466
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: trying to make this one mixtape right now.

467
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because your presence is crazy. This presence in Miami

468
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: is definitely filed. I remember I was in the freeway

469
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: with my wife, you know, when I was down in

470
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: my wife she wants to go sight seeing and all that,

471
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: and I look over it and I see the big

472
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: boom box the thing. I said, Oh, that's the homely

473
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: spot over there.

474
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, boy, Now that's that's so one of my

475
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 3: homies who I grew up with. He's a famous legendary

476
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: graffiti artist out here, and he's had that boom box

477
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: like locked like it's his. You know, graffiti writers when

478
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: they claim something it's deaz. You know, if somebody goes

479
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: over it is beef. So he's been recreating that boombox

480
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 3: in Wynwood for the past I think almost ten years now,

481
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 3: and then in the past year or two he did

482
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 3: one side of it where it's his crazy hood on it,

483
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 3: and yeah, that's the homie man. So that's that's been

484
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: there for a couple of years now. But but hit the

485
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 3: boombox been there for like ten years, and that's my

486
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: homes six and then the homies that he works with.

487
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned something man that said, if you

488
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: didn't love this stuff, you wouldn't be doing it. Nothing.

489
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize how horror podcast nails. I

490
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: think people think it's easy. I think that's why you

491
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: got so many people doing it now.

492
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: It's not easy, and it's become just as slimy as

493
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 3: the music industry, like you know, just it's just it's like,

494
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: you know, it's the new record label bullshit, like dealing

495
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 3: with the same baby.

496
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, it's.

497
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: Well people that's people watching motherfuckers don't feel like it's

498
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: a quick come up, you know, like just like you

499
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 4: work with hip hop. That's why the state of the

500
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,479
Speaker 4: state of hip hop is so crazy, because you just

501
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 4: got you know, motherfuckers something just some motherfuckers who's in

502
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 4: it that.

503
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be in it. Right now.

504
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: They look at at podcasts and it's the same thing

505
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 4: because they see people like you and Nori, they see

506
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 4: Gangster Chronicles, they see all these other different podcasts and

507
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: they start going with ship we can do we can

508
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 4: get into that game too, you know what I'm saying,

509
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 4: Just like you said, it's the new record deal, it's

510
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: the new it's the new rap game.

511
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: Yep.

512
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: And and you got to put in a lot of

513
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: work and right now it's oversaturated like a motherfucker. People

514
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: ask me all the time. You know, I want to

515
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 3: get in the podcast game. You better think about that.

516
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: You know.

517
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: I was having a convo, I mean, were down with

518
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 3: the same you know, Black Effect shout out to Black

519
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: Effect and iHeart and we was having a combo over

520
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 3: there and they were saying, the average podcast that you know,

521
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: knew that gets into the industry, it takes him about

522
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 3: two to three years to really really start to see

523
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: something from it.

524
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: I think the average podcast is something I heard the

525
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: crazy statistic. I was talking to Charlotte Mayne one day

526
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: and he said, man, he was talking about how well

527
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: we're doing right and he was saying, still, the average

528
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: podcasts only get like a hundred downloads under down.

529
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 2: It's like music, everybody's doing it.

530
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: Everybody is doing it. I looked up, and you know what,

531
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at certain people like I like it.

532
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: It's a few rapper podcasts I do like. I like

533
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: the new one What's Home that used to be on

534
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: a Rockefeller.

535
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 2: Memphis Bleach that's that's under two Chances. He's under our network.

536
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: Oh is that right?

537
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah?

538
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not know that. Yeah. I like Memphis

539
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: Blee Ship and it's a few of them. Man, that's

540
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: real good. But it's always like Trauma. It's always host

541
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: shake up, see you and you and Norris smart because

542
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: it's just the two of y'all. Right, right, That's why

543
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: I keep the show with just me and not whenever.

544
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: For some reason, whenever you get that third or fourth person,

545
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna wind up being some bullshit nine times out

546
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: of teen all the time. I don't know why, but

547
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: almost every show then had their breakups. You and nor

548
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: he ain't never had no smoke have y'all?

549
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: Nah, I mean we've not listen, We're like any other partners.

550
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna have your ends in your house. And and

551
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 3: me and him, A lot of people don't realize our

552
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: relationship goes far back. People think that that mine and

553
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: his relationship started with Drink Chance. But we met as

554
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 3: an artist coming to the Miami market and I'm one

555
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 3: of the DJs you got to deal with and work with,

556
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: and we connected on that level right when he was

557
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 3: the first CNN album, like that's when we connected and

558
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: I did his first solo show in Miami when it

559
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: was the Nri album.

560
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: I'm the one who booked that first show.

561
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 3: And when Copone came out of prison, I'm the one

562
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 3: that they hired to help put together copone home show

563
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: in Miami. So our our history is vast. It goes back.

564
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: But y'all go back, y'all go back a long ways

565
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: man before.

566
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 5: All the Yeah.

567
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 3: That's it wouldn't have worked if we didn't have that

568
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: that relationship going back. But once and you know, I toured,

569
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: I was a tour DJ. We've toured around the world together.

570
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 3: You know, I've done you know, I've even put on

571
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 3: the management hat where I was kind of like road

572
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: managing Norri and managing him for a minute.

573
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: So we've we've done it all together.

574
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: But when it came to Drink Chams, that was the

575
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 3: first time that it was like we were a partnership,

576
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: you know, and even partnership, and that changed the dynamic

577
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: a little bit, and we those first couple of years

578
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: it took you know, it was a learning curve that

579
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: we had to figure it out, you know, because you

580
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: got Norri the well known artist, and then you got

581
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: me like this DJ that that wasn't as well known

582
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 3: to the you know, widely known like that. So the

583
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 3: business side we had to figure certain things out, and

584
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 3: you know, it took a minute for everything for the

585
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: us to settle and uh, and we figured it out, man,

586
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 3: because ultimately we were friends already.

587
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: I think it's going to always be that dynamic, especially

588
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with rappers, right, you know, especially when

589
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: you're dealing with rappers. Dealing with eight, it' been pretty easy.

590
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's eight. It's real laid back, you know

591
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But it's not always easy, man, And

592
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: it can't be easy, especially when the show started sending.

593
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: Like you know, when the show first started taking off, right,

594
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure y'all had every homeboy that thought y'all

595
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: can just put them on.

596
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 2: Of course, still happening exactly that shit.

597
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Don't you. I'm pretty sure, man, because I got homeboys,

598
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: man that got good jobs. I'm talking about this, just

599
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: regular people like man. You know what I was thinking, man,

600
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: You know, I've got an idea to do this podcast,

601
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: me and my wife, and they get to talking as

602
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 1: soon as they do that. Now, I just kind of

603
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: hit them, man, I'll be right back. I tell them that,

604
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Stiff Farm and quick Stiff Farm and

605
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 1: quick jab but it's definitely not easy. And I think, man,

606
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: right now, what we're going through where we go seeing

607
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: podcasts and just like music, I think it's go kind

608
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: of flattening a little bit. Then I think it's gonna

609
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: come up because I think once people see that, the

610
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: money ain't as easy as they think it is. Because

611
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: everybody thinks this quip bag like it's people that think

612
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: me and they just make millions of dollars off the podcast.

613
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't heard it.

614
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: And you have to think about it's kind of stressful

615
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: when you're doing a week. Do you guys do weekly?

616
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

617
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, it's weekly shit. Ain't no joke to keep

618
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: up with the weekly shit.

619
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: When you really start to think about, especially when the

620
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 3: year starts and I'm like, and I look thinking about

621
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: like every week till the end of the day, I'm like,

622
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 3: it's like looking up for hell, You're.

623
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 2: Like, God, damn, here we go again every year.

624
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: And you know what, the one thing I got to

625
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: commit to home on man on y'all, it's y'all. Never

626
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: missed the episode bro, I don't ever remember y'all missed

627
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: the episode. We've never missed one. We've never had a

628
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: week where, gainst the chronicles didn't come out. But then

629
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: you have certain things like eight is still touring, so

630
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: sometimes eight might have to go do a show and

631
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: I have to hold it down. So I got like,

632
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: and I try not to do that as much, man,

633
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: But that's the one thing y'all like Nori has always

634
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: been there.

635
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, for sure.

636
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: And we'll take a break though, we'll do on purpose,

637
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: like we'll be like, we're gonna take a break at

638
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 3: some point.

639
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 2: We started doing that later on, you know, because we

640
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: have the.

641
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: TV aspect with Revolved where it comes out on cable

642
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: network TV. So because of that, they'll take you know,

643
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: breaks around the holidays, so we'll follow that that schedule.

644
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 2: We're like, all right, we're gonna.

645
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: Take a TV break, so we'll the podcast will take

646
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: a break, and we'll just hold off releasing until the

647
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: break is over.

648
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: There's me and ain't been told about doing that too, man,

649
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: the world. We just kind of just can some episodes

650
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: and just take a break, man, because it's a lot sometimes,

651
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: like sometimes I really don't feel like doing this shit. Man.

652
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 3: You gotta take that break, man, because you got to

653
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: sit back for a minute and then like for us,

654
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 3: we'll take that break. We come back and we're excited again,

655
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: where we're all right, let's do it. You know, we're

656
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: happy to see the crew. Everybody's ready to rock. You

657
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 3: gotta take that moment to take a step back, because

658
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: it's you get jaded by it.

659
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: You just it's just everything becomes work. That's what I

660
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: tell people.

661
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 3: No matter how much you love something, no matter how

662
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: great it scenes from the outside, when you got to

663
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 3: do something repetitively, everything becomes work at that point.

664
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one hundred percent all the time. I've had

665
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: times to where I think in the last few years

666
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: we started taking those breaks, Like I started like going

667
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: to a rub of you know, Miami is one of my spots.

668
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: That's how we linked up when I was down there.

669
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 2: Real breaks. You're going on vacation.

670
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to go on vacation, man. You know,

671
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: if it ain't ain't calling up my mama or like

672
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: one of my kids. Man, I don't ask the phone man,

673
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: because you have to take a break. And I'm gonna

674
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: tell you the one thing y'all got going on this, y'all.

675
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: Are y'all have guests on y'all show?

676
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 5: Right?

677
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: I think I saw a few times to where when

678
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: COVID was happening, you got the episodes where it was

679
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: just you and Norri, right right right. But for the

680
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: most part, y'all depending on guests. If y'all ever had

681
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: it to where y'all had the stuff scheduled and somebody

682
00:28:59,000 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: just didn't.

683
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 2: Show up, oh that that's happened a lot.

684
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean luckily, that's why you bank episodes,

685
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: so I have to rely on that being the next episode.

686
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: Well, we've had issues where either the guests.

687
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: Flaked on us for whatever reason, or even something happened

688
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: in our schedules where something happened.

689
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: Because that's the thing too.

690
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: Me and Nori have separate lives, separate businesses, you know,

691
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: NOI's a working artist as well, so sometimes shit, you know,

692
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 3: schedules just clash.

693
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 2: Like it's hard enough to.

694
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: I think even y'all when we were scheduled, you remember

695
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 3: how it took a minute to Yeah, that's imagine that's

696
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 3: a dance. Everybody's trying to figure out their busy schedules

697
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: to make it work. So so that's the art of

698
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: banking episode. That's why you have to bank episodes, so

699
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: you have the luxury of like you're not stressing it.

700
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: If something doesn't fall through, you know, just boom you

701
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: you Okay, put that episode. We already got a bunch

702
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 3: of episodes done.

703
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: I think that's what we have to start doing. I

704
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: remember one time, man, it was a rapper and he

705
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: rest in peace now so Wingo makes his name. Man,

706
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: But dude, that hit me and told me man, because

707
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: I hit them up. You know, when it's like ten tier,

708
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: I started getting a little nervous, right because usually people

709
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: when they coming, they're usually come in, especially out here

710
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: in there La, because don't nobody trust nobody. They'd come

711
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 1: in like thirty forty minutes early just to pack the layout,

712
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: like oh what's going on? And early we're still setting

713
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: up right, And Homy told me, Man, he said, I'm

00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: right around the corner. I'll be there in a minute,

715
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: ten minutes after come and I'm like this, dude ain't

00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna come. But when that happened, we just get the

Speaker 1: just not pop up at all.

724
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's happened a couple of times. There was a

725
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: one time that and it wasn't even their fault. Actually,

726
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: a couple of times. We're supposed to have Kendrick on

727
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: one time and I'm not even gonna put it on

728
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 3: Kendrick because I don't know how much him and his

729
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: immediate team knew because it was interscope it up.

730
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: But he was coming to.

731
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 3: Do uh he was headlining Rolling Loud, and that set

732
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: it up where he was gonna come do Drink Champs,

733
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 3: flying do Drink Champs, then from Drink Champs, go straight

734
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: to the stage and then his flight, you know, I

735
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 3: think his flight was late or something coming in and

736
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 3: we were.

737
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 2: All set up and ready to go and it got canceled.

738
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 2: And that that's happen. That's happened a couple of times.

739
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Man. You always get that Kindrick that don't do too

740
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: many interviews either. Man.

741
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: It's a while ago too. It was like two three years,

742
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: like three years ago. I think even further than that.

743
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: I think she was impossible now because and that's the

744
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: hard man. Yeah, I don't even ask, man, I don't.

745
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't even ask. I would love to have adopt

746
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: the show. But I don't even ask because I know

747
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: how busy he was and I ain't seen them do.

748
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,320

749
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: he sat down none of the big dogs.

750

Speaker 2: Yet he don't really he don't do podcasts.

751
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: Has he done a podcast that you could think of

752
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 3: other than like Apple the Apple music joints.

00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: unless they themselves are saying something about like I'm not

775
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 3: going you know, for whatever reason, because this is what

776
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: I've learned, a lot of times, the team be fucking

777
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: up the team. A lot of times someone in the

778
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 3: team wants it more than the artist even wants it

779
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 3: and doesn't even really fully tell them this is what

780
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 3: we're doing until like the last moment like that will

781
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: set it all up. Like I love drinking. I want

782
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 3: to get someone, you know, I got some and so

783
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: ready for drink Champs so and so it wasn't ready

784
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: for drinks champs. And so when when they finally tell

785
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: that person it's all been booked, and then I feel

786
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 3: like they they probably was like, nah, you know, I'm

787
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 3: not I wasn't ready to do that, or I got

788
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: you know, or the schedule change. I don't ever unless

789
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 3: that person themselves shuts us down and or disrespects like

790
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 3: where you know it's coming from them, I'll never take

791
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: it disrespectful.

792
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: You You just never know.

793
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: And that was early on, I for sure, because when

794
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: I found out that people cancel on dre you know,

00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: He He's like, it didn't make sense for him. He

804
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: wasn't making no money.

805
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 3: He did it out of love when he was doing

806
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 3: because he's a pioneer in the space himself.

807
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: Radio day early on him and his manager, I think, ye,

813
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: loud Speaker. Y'all almost did a situation with loud.

814
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 3: Speaker on That was the first company or production that

815
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 3: that stepped to us that actually remembered what we did

816
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: on Serious XM.

817
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: And they stepped to me and No.

818
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: He said that thing y'all was doing, you should do

819
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: it as a podcast, and NOORI put him in contact

820
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 3: with me. They sent they even sent in equipment and everything,

821
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: and then Norri just wasn't just he wasn't ready at

822
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 3: the time.

823
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: And I ended up.

824
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 3: They kept saying what's up, and I just I sent

825
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: back the equipment and then they came back right and again,

826
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 3: and I spoke Toni.

827
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I'm down to do it. And then

828
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: they sent the equipment again and the same shit happened.

829
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 2: It took like three to five years.

830
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: I don't remember the exact amount of time, but it

831
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: took years to convince Nori and finally get him on

832
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: board with doing a podcast.

833
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy man, loud Speaker was the first.

Speaker 2: So rested piece of combat jack over.

835
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. They was like the first company to

836
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: get out of us. I'm gonna tell you a funny story.

837
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,360

Speaker 1: Was the first. That wasn't the first podcast I heard,

858
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: but it definitely was the first song Like Black and Latino.

859
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, when it comes to hip hop, they were organized

860
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: like distribution and production of they were the first.

861
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: It was the first. Man Loudspeaker was a big deal.

862
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: I wish stated you know what, man, it seemed like

863
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: Black and Black effect kind of picked up that mantle

864
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: because it's all the same staff, a king and all

865
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: the same people that was running louds Pikers is over

866
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,400

Speaker 1: y'all hook up with Charlemagne?

868
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 3: When we finished our deal with with CBS, which was

869
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 3: played doted, then we were on another Audio Boom Remember

870
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 3: Audio Boom?

871
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: I remember Audio Boom?

872
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Sway shout out to Sway. He put

873
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 3: us down with Audio Boom if I'm not wrong. We

874
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: did a deal with them and then oh man, I'm

875
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,959
Speaker 3: trying to remember because we made a bunch.

876
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: We had all kinds of deals throughout the years.

877
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 3: But at some point, Charlot Magne, you know, just because

878
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: Charlamagne was that play dot it too.

879
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,120
Speaker 2: I think I think he was over there at one

880
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 2: point or maybe not.

881
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 3: We had him on as one of our first guests

882
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 3: early on for sure, and him and Norri already you know,

883
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 3: had a relationship. And so once he started Black Effects,

884
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 3: he stepped to us and and you know, and and

885
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 3: we made that that deal happen. It was like a

886
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: no brainer.

887
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: It was a good situation for us.

888
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it was for the audio only part. You know,

889
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 3: we already had the video locked in through Revolt.

890
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: That's what we gotta do. We gotta step our video up, man.

891
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 1: We was going in the studio. We actually had a

892
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: spot for a long time. Man. But it's hard to

893
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: connect that, man, it's hard, just and we the only

894
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: thing we was doing the spot was the show. So

895
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: it made no sense to keep the building, you know, right, Yeah,

896
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: it was just sitting all week.

897
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 3: We still don't have a regular set because we don't

898
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,320
Speaker 3: want that overhead and we don't want that responsibility.

899
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: That's smart, man, I tell everybody, don't get no building.

900
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fucking work, man. And it's a

901
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: lot of overhead too. And I and you know what's crazy,

902
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: I put up. We had put a whole bunch of

903
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: money into that building, man, you know, getting it set

904
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: up and everything. Then it was just like after a while,

905
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: I was like, damn, man, we just don't put like

906
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: thirty thousand up into this building. I don't even want

907
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: to do it no more.

908
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you gotta have make sure the insurance is

909
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,919
Speaker 3: on point because something goes down, like for us, I'm like, nah,

910
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 3: we don't need that.

911
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: Well that's what it was, man. Once I start getting

912
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: to the point, because you know, people start coming through

913
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: and what it was. We had a live event one

914
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: time and it was like two hundred people out there

915
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: right and I was listening to this dude in a

916
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: wheelchair telling me how you hustle people. He was like, man,

917
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: I get y'all, but to get that shit fixed right there,

918
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: because I get ten to fifteen every time. That's my fixed.

919
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:04,879
Speaker 1: Run the liquor and.

920
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: Said handicap access shit.

921
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: Insurance, I said, motherfucker's ou here running scams and shit.

922
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: So once I started talking to insurance and start thinking

923
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: about the live building, I was like, fuck this ship, man,

924
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: we used iHeart shit, you know, yep, we use ird shit.

925
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. The way y'all do, y'all show.

926
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll work in the iHeart building.

927
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: Now they you know, they offer it even when with

928
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: CBS we could have done the CBS studios. We did

929
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 3: it one time the first run. We went to New

Speaker 3: York to sign the deal and we recorded their studios

931
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 3: and they complained that they saw that they found weed

932
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: in there.

933
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 5: They found the cups with liquor. They was like, what

934
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 5: the fuck is this? That's how it was because we

935
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 5: used it. Hey was you on the show when we

936
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,959

Speaker 5: the CBS building, right, and we had that motherfucker Maculate.

938
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,959
Speaker 5: We would leave for macnt and because it just wasn't

939
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 5: our show. I had a whole network of shows, right,

940
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,359
Speaker 5: so it was like three four shows. But every time

941
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 5: some bad shit happened, they were playing us.

942
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: Oh shit.

943
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: That that was the reason why I would never take

Speaker 1: us on ship ship that happened on weekend or whatever.

946
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,280

947
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: to the building during that time, so it wasn't us,

948
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: you know, uh, And they were still blaming us, So

949
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: I never wanted to keep When they get it to us,

956
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: one of them corporate buildings.

957
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: That wouldn't happen.

958
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 4: You got to have your own set and ship out

959
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:44,000

00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, we need we really need to be comfortable.

963
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 5: No.

964
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 3: He's really big on feeling like like he's you know,

965
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 3: in a in a in his own safe space where

966
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: it's like no one's gonna judge, gonna talk shit, and

967
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: we can do whatever we want. We've been lucky, man,

968
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 3: We've had great partners when it comes to like places

969
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: that we.

970
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: Could film at.

971
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 3: We were filming at this bar called Racket and Winwood

972
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 3: for like three four years. Those are the homies. They

973
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 3: legendary like owners of clubs and bars out here. So

974
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: they saw the value in having us there, you know,

975
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 3: and cross promoting their stuff. So we were there for

976
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: a minute. We've been at different spots and it just

977
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: always worked out for us. Man, It's always been great.

978
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's the thing. You definitely got to be

979
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,280
Speaker 1: comfortable because you know, Ate like the smoke, right, and

980
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: that's why it's like we going to place and he

981
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: can't smoke. You're like, man, we can't smoke in here.

982
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 4: Man.

983
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 2: You know it can't be yourself exactly. You want to

984
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: be yourself that you don't want to be comfortable.

985
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, man. It's something that me

986
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: and Ate was talking about. With all the drinking that

987
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: y'all doing the show and smoking and everything else. YouTube

988
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 1: ain't never get y'all know drama.

989
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: What do you mean like YouTube?

990
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: Like it's yeah, like for ast YouTube, you know, man,

991
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: we don't been demonetized a whole bunch of times.

992
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 2: Man, you know what they had. We haven't gotten issues

993
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: with that.

994
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 3: But I could tell you that our content is suppressed

995
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 3: in some kind of way because of.

996
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: That, and not just because of that.

997
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 3: This is my I'm gonna say this is maybe my conspiracy,

998
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: but I don't think it's a conspiracy. Ever since the

999
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 3: Kanye episode, that second one that went crazy, we've been

1000
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 3: like I feel like we've been shadow banded and suppressed

1001
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 3: in the algorithm since then.

1002
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's a real thing, bruh.

1003
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 3: Right, and so and then I think you couple that

1004
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: with with the alcohol and the type of content. Especially

1005
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: over the years, YouTube has gotten more and more strict,

1006
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 3: so I think to a degree we've been kind of

1007
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 3: like suppressed. But I mean we're still going until the

1008
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: wheels fall off.

1009
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: You know what. Man, Our audio numbers do so well

1010
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 1: to where really we have never been dependent on the

1011
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: whole visual thing, right, Like we put video out now,

1012
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: but it's real sporat you feel what I'm saying, It's

1013
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: real spread it. That's why we're doing the show on

1014
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: Zoom right now because eight live way out in the

1015
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: Beat and Boondocks too, So him coming down in Hollywood

1016
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 1: all the time just don't work. So we just start

1017
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: doing it remotely, right Because it was like, man, you

1018
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: know what, I ain't gonna ask you. And I used

1019
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: to think he was just complaining at first until I

1020
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: went over his house to take a Micael. I took

1021
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: some equipment over there or something like that, and like

1022
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 1: the first forty minutes I was like, Okay, I should

1023
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: be almost there. Then the hour was up. Then it

1024
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: was like an hour and a half and I was like,

1025
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: a damn well. I called him. I was like, bruh,

1026
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: I think I passed your crill. He's like, oh, you

1027
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: had for a year, and I was like, man, I

1028
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 1: never complain no more. After that, I said, man, homie

1029
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: is dried for far. So it's definitely a commitment. The

1030
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:47,879
Speaker 1: biggest thing I tell everybody is this Man podcast that yeah,

1031
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: it's some money to be made, but it takes a while,

1032
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: takes a long time, and if you don't have no

1033
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: audio numbers cracking, bruh, it's probably not gonna happen. I

1034
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: don't care how many YouTube views you're doing, because YouTube

1035
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: views a kind of arbitrary, right. You know, you could

1036
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: see a dude picking you know, they got pimple popping

1037
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: videos Man to do way and work, and me and

1038
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: you both could combine could ever do? Right? So that

1039
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: really mean that you got a fan based out there

1040
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 1: just because you getting a lot of views on your

1041
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 1: youee what I'm saying if me and eight just decided

1042
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: to talk about Man, if I told everything that I

1043
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 1: know about people, bruh, we would get a million fuse

1044
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 1: every episode I'm pretty sure with you the same thing, right.

1045
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: And I tell people, if your audio is not going down, man,

1046
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: if you're not getting a certain amount of views of audio,

1047
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get it checked nobody because they have

1048
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: to be able to cuse. I think people just think

1049
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: you get money. Like I heard somebody tell me that

1050

00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 3: But if this shit ends tomorrow, you know that's I

1083
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 3: ain't rich. Ain't gonna you know, I ain't gonna be

1084
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 3: like living off of interest off the ship. So that's rich. Well, motherfuckers,

1085
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: you know, live off interest forever. So Noah, I haven't

1086
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 3: been tested.

1087
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: By by people. Man, If anything, I've been.

1088
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 3: There's the people on the outside, like maybe like people

1089
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 3: maybe like for you that people were assuming that you

1090
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 3: made certain deals. And also you know how when they

1091
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 3: put out these deals and they do these press releases

1092
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 3: and it says you know this, you know, drink Champs

1093
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,319
Speaker 3: got you know, eight million dollars twenty minute, like some

1094
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 3: crazy shit.

1095
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 2: It's like the record label shit. I tell people, man,

1096
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: this is the same Oakie Dog as the record label shit.

1097
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 3: The totality of the deal is worth that much money.

1098
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 3: But hypothetically that includes what they're paying their staff over

1099
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 3: there at that company for promotion, what they what the

1100
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 3: charges are for distributing, like all these different things, and

1101
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 3: then you break that apart into production, and then you

1102
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 3: break that even more into you know, then the management

1103
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 3: gets some and then me and Noori get our talent fees,

1104
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 3: you know, or whatever from that.

1105
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 2: It's not that that.

1106
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 3: Amount of money you've seen on that piece of paper

1107
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 3: or online.

1108
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: That's not what we get in our pockets.

1109
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: You know.

1110
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 3: It's like the record they when they say, oh so

1111
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,279
Speaker 3: and so got signed to a five million dollar deal

1112
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 3: with Sony or whatever, you know that artist and not

1113
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 3: get five million dollars in that deal.

1114
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:20,959
Speaker 2: That's what that deals worth.

1115
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: They put out all the albums, that's what they all

1116
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 3: the chargebacks, all that you know they gotta. They got

1117
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 3: an advance on on that maybe one hundred thousand dollars advance.

1118
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: They get five million dollars the same thing. But no

1119
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:32,879
Speaker 2: one's tried.

1120
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: Man.

1121
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: Thankfully, people be people be naive though most of the time.

1122
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 4: Anytime you think of anything that got to do with

1123
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 4: entertainment or music or podcasts, and they automatically think or nigga,

1127
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 4: Okay, You get right, But it's no different than a

00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: You get me.

1133
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 4: We might be the motherfucking ford men or motherfucking the superintendent,

00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just got a nice position inside the

1137
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 4: company where like you said, I can maybe put a

Speaker 4: little money away, maybe hopefully do some shit for the kids.

1139
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,880

1142
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: You feel well, you're a good thing about good thing

1143
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 1: about this podcast and stuff, and man, the Black Effect

1144
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: Dealer is a blessing, right, Black Effick is a blessing.

1145
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 4: Man.

1146
00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: I love being over here. We've been over here, I

1147
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: think the same amount of time we kind of came

1148
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: in together, right. I say this though, if that aspect

1149
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: of it was the end, the show will continue to

1150
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: go on. It can sustain itself, right, and I'm pretty

1151
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: sure we can sustain ourselves with drink shams. Good. Have

1152
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: y'all ever thought about it? And don't get nervous? Do

1153
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: this just me asked some hypothetical.

1154
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 2: Question, Dolly man, she's great, did so, I say again, sorry,

1155
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 2: Have you.

1156
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Guys ever thought about just going totally independent?

1157
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1158
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 3: I mean we have, and and you know, part of

1159
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 3: that is thinking even bigger than just the one show

1160
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 3: doing the network that we launched, which we partnered with

1161
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 3: Black Effect, and iHeart on our network on the audio side,

1162
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 3: you know, I'm always thinking of the pivot, man, because

1163
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 3: and shout out to the show the Pivot too. But this,

1164
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 3: if we look, we've all been in this entertainment space.

1165
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 3: We all know there's ebbs and flows this ship. One

1166
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 3: minute you up, next minute you down. And if you

1167
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 3: don't learn your lesson through a couple of those, then you,

1168
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 3: you know, then you then you deserve getting sucked up.

1169
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 3: Because I already know if if we got ten year run,

1170
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 3: oh man, we're lucky in this industry to get a

1171
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 3: ten year run. Now we better start looking at what

1172
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 3: the pivot is, what the next evolution of what we're doing.

1173
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 3: You know, we build a brand to a certain space,

1174
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 3: what is you know, what is it going to do

1175
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 3: beyond these regular deals that we've been doing. Because the

1176
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 3: industry changes, brand, the you know, the way that people,

1177
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: you know, consumer look at the brand changes, you know,

1178
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 3: they maybe there's new people in the podcast space and

1179
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 3: the audience gets divided.

1180
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 2: You got to look at everything.

1181
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 3: You can't just be sitting all, you know, comfortable being

1182
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,439
Speaker 3: like we're going to be this forever. So so yeah,

1183
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I think about independence, I think about a

1184
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 3: different way of doing this podcast. I've always, since the beginning,

1185
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 3: have looked at the podcast space and felt there's a

1186
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 3: better way to do this, you know, I've always if you.

1187
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: Don't refine it, man, you'll be out the game because

1188
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: we're going on our ah yet right, this is our

1189
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: a year, right, And I think about it sometimes to

1190
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: say damn time when fast? But I always think about

1191
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 1: kind of like what's next? Right? When do we have

1192
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: to do? Me and eight and a half conversations all

1193
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: the time, especially like as the next year approaches and say, Okay,

1194
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do different this year? And I

1195
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing for us because I've had the

1196
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,959
Speaker 1: you've been fortunate to where your situation has been the same. Man,

1197
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: I'm man. The original hosts that we have in the

1198
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: show ain't even here no more right for whatever reason.

1199
00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: So everything kind of just got you feel what I'm saying.

1200
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,399
Speaker 1: It was always, you know, it was always some shit

1201
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: to happen, and it was always like it was always

1202
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: due to outside sources, never had nothing to do with

1203
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: the actual show and stuff. It was always some outside

1204
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: bullshit to happen. And I think that's the biggest thing.

1205
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: Whenever you get a group of people together, man, whenever

1206
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 1: you get more than to me, whenever you get more

1207
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: than two people, always tell people when they especially people

1208
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,799
Speaker 1: I feel that may have action that doing this shit

1209
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: for real, always say, man, whatever you do, make sure

1210
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: your pick work straight. At the beginning, man gets some

1211
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: kind of agreement, even if it's y'all write some shit

1212
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: down on a piece of paper and sign it, you know,

1213
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,320
Speaker 1: each even clary, you know, get some shit, man together,

1214
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,959
Speaker 1: because when you ain't making no money, everything is cool.

1215
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: But the minute five hundred dollars come in, it's gonna

1216
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: be some bullshit because people gonna be thinking, man, was

1217
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: really five hundred dollars or was it a thousand dollars?

1218
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 1: Get some shit together and be kind of transparent with that.

1219
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing is you don't

1220
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: see some podcasts man kind of I think all the

1221
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: podcasts had groups of people on it. None never raised

1222
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: the hosts on there. No more.

1223
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, too many chefs in the kitchen.

1224
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure. Everybody wants to be the boss man,

1225
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: and it's a whole lot. The one thing out, the

1226
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 1: one thing I wanted to ask you was this, right

1227
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,360
Speaker 1: you said you're married, right, yep? I noticed you do

1228
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,359
Speaker 1: you like me in that sense? You do a good

1229
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: job of kind of keeping your family, like your wife

1230
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: and your kids and all that outside the line light

1231
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: of this stuff has that effort has this stuff ever

1232
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,360
Speaker 1: like intersected into your home life.

1233
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 3: Nah, just just at the kids, you know, kind of

1234
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 3: I have young kids that they're starting to grow up

1235
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 3: to kind of be aware that their dad does something

1236
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 3: in like entertainment space and music, like you know, like

1237

Speaker 3: they see my they see I still got my turntables,

1238
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 3: my records, you know, whenever they see anything hip hop

1239
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 3: that they associated with me. They're also is funny because

1240
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 3: I'm sponsored by Monster Energy, so they also grew up

1241
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,879
Speaker 3: thinking that that Monster Energy was my company. They would

1242
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 3: see them, You're like, daddy, look your company Monster. I'm like, no,

1243
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 3: it's not that too. Most Energy. But no, nothing nothing negative,

1244
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 3: you know of anything. They always when people would come

1245
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: up to me who recognized me from the show out

1246
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 3: and about with the family, my kids would like, you know,

1247
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:34,280
Speaker 3: they would.

1248
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: Just be like, who's that.

1249
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 3: I'd be like, oh, it's just you know, a friend

1250
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:38,240
Speaker 3: and they were like, you got a lot of friends

1251
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 3: because that wasn't.

1252
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 2: There and explain everything to them.

1253
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 3: So now you know, they're they're getting a little older

1254
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 3: and they're understanding it more. But but I I yeah,

1255
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 3: I keep them kind of sheltered away from from a

1256
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 3: lot of the stuff and you know, when it makes sense,

1257
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 3: I bring them around, you know, to certain things.

1258
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't even follow my wife on social media.

1259
00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: And that's crazy because she was like at first, he

1260
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 1: was like, why accept that my friend request. I was like, man,

1261
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: because I don't need nobody going to your inbox talking shit.

1262
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 3: You know, my wife is the worst man. She she

1263
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 3: loves to defend me. And I said, stop your comment ship.

1264
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 3: She early on when when people talk ship, she'd be

1265
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 3: she'd be the comment warrior, like, you know, going in

00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,480

00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 3: you know, like me personally, I don't. I don't do

1281
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 3: all the commenting shit like I'm coming positive or nothing

1282
00:54:57,239 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 3: at all.

1283
00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: You know, you can. You gotta learn.

1284
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 4: You gotta learn what wait that type of shit because

1285
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:06,919
Speaker 4: it's gonna happen, you feel most of the time. Yeah,

1286
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:08,959
Speaker 4: it's gonna get up with your skin. So you gotta

1287
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,319
Speaker 4: learn how to roll that shit off, man, because motherfuckers

1288
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 4: are gonna try. It's always one every minit, it don't matter.

1289
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 4: You don't have to interact with a motherfucking You could

1290
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 4: just post some shit and a motherfucker's gonna come on

1291
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 4: there negatively with something to say because it's just what

1292
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 4: they have to.

1293
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: It's just what they do.

1294
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 4: So if you don't learn how to let that ship

1295
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 4: rolled off, it would definitely get under your skin and

1296
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 4: you be thinking with a motherfucker you ain't gonna never

1297
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 4: see in your life.

1298
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: Yep. I remember, man, when eight first came on the show.

1299
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: Because this podcast and shit is a little different than

1300
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 1: the music is. When you're a rapper, it's a whole

1301
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: bunch of people come you're not paying no attention to them,

1302
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: you're kind of too busy. But when you're a podcast,

1303
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, you get to sitting down there, going down

1304
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 1: that wrapping hole. Eight had motherfuckers coming out all of

1305
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 1: a sudden with all these accusations about shit. Right. The

1306
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: first thing I told him was, man, responding to that

1307
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: shit one time if you want to, but then leave

1308
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: it alone because it's because you see that to it,

1309
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: it's just gonna make it bigger than what the need

1310
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: to be. Right. So I've had people man to where

1311
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: it'd be a million great comments, right, it be a

1312
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: million good comments, and they just focused on the one motherfucker.

1313
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, if anything, go talk to all these Megi

1314
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: and other people have got good ship to say, right,

1315
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 1: And I think that just become a part of it.

1316
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: And it's always weird to me man about people in

1317
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: the comment section, because you have the same person coming

1318
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: back to comment week in and week out to talk

1319
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: some shit. But they're there every week. So I really

1320
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: think haters is just your biggest fans.

1321
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 2: Let me tell you I learned.

1322
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 3: I learned the lesson that I'll never forget. Well too,

Speaker 3: iced Tee definitely he he he. Taught us a lesson

1324
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:52,600

00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 3: was like, learn to use that block button. He's like,

00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 3: from my t because I used to be like, I

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure.

1366
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 3: So this motherfucker was saying some crazy So I learned

1367
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 3: a valuable lesson that most of those motherfuckers that talk

1368
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 3: all that crazy shit in real life, they not about

1369
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 3: that shit exactly.

1370
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: They just won't.

1371
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 4: They just won't find minutes of fame because actually they

1372
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 4: really don't think you're gonna respond back, is what it did,

1373
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 4: and they just be wanting to comment and get their

1374
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 4: shit off. And then when you respond back to a motherfucker,

1375
00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 4: they be really surprised. Oh my bad mother evenly like that. Man,

1376

Speaker 4: you know, I respect you and all of that ship.

1377
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 4: So most of the time, motherfucker's just about five minutes

1378
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 4: of fame. It's something about people like that. It kills
