256
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: the LA or whatever to Tacoma. So that's how they

257
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: left me with, like you figured out yourself basically, So

258
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: I just took a I took a later flight. Oh yeah,

259
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 2: paid me two hundred right there. I don't know, mother,

260
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: but I used those two hundred to get that flight.

261
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: The later flight, so you made zero. Yeah, So I

262
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: took a two hundred dollars they gave me, or they're

263
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: gonna give me the five hundred Tacoma to LA. Right.

264
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 2: So I waited in LA for an hour and for

265
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: like nine eight hours for the next flight to Tacoma.

266
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: I took another hundred on my TM and I paid

267
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 2: a hundred for that flight to get to Tacoma. So

268
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: when I get to Tacoma, they picked me up at

269
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: the airport. This black dude who looked like Tiger Woods.

270
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: Really nice guy, but I can't even find him. First

271
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: of all, my first time in Hawaii, I thought it

272
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: was gonna be like, you know, like the like in

273
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: a movie there lay back. Then it was just some

274
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: brother from Memphis. He was smoking a Newport in the airport,

275
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: bro like, he didn't give a fuck you. My man

276
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 2: use a comedian they call Felipe. I said, yeah, and

277
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: he's him, and I took off. Nice guy. I think

278
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: it was a pimp because he kept talking about how

279
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: that pitch maybe made me no money. That bitch copy

280
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: the airplane, take you a bus trip, made me no money.

281
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 2: He just kept saying that over and over on the

282
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: phone with somebody. Pitch made me no money. He took

283
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: me to go eat right away, immediately took me to

284
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: eat at a restaurant. And then he was like my escort,

285
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: which she would have drove me to the airport. But

286
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: so when I get to Takoma, I get picked up

287
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: by another handler, another guy, and he takes me to

288
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 2: the promoters guy's house and his mom is like the

289
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: late black lady, and he goes, hi, hi, man, I
