I even put myself in 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.399 a box. But yeah, me and my uncle have these 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.840 conversations because I really have faith in the intellect of 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.320 the world. But I think I'm just starting to realize 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:54.560 that people are just stupid. 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.080 And I have to be. 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.840 Okay with people just being stupid, but I just be like, 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.520 why are not using your brain? 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.800 So I'm working on my own show, trying to learn 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:05.279 the live. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:08.800 Stream and stuff called cultural conversations, and we're just gonna 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:13.840 explore that, you know, Avenue, white people are just really stupid. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.120 It just frustrates me. It really frustrates me. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:19.640 That's great, It's like my favorite things. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.360 Man. I don't think people are stupid. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.440 I mean, here's things people are stupid, silence things, people 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.720 are stupid, pete things people are stupid. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.880 I don't people are really stupid, and because I have faith, 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.800 I have faith in them like y'all, not like God 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:37.000 gave y'all that brain. 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.960 I have faith, But every I just get disappointed every. 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.519 Time I bought my man, Joey west Side to get 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:43.520 in on this conversation. 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:44.840 So we got to take our time. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.239 Joey west Side one third or the one ten super 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.280 group out of the West Coast, one half of the 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:52.840 La Gihnson, just an overall good brother. And of course 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.919 me and Peter here this is no siblings right here, 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.680 you know what I mean. And we're finna get to 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:02.880 it really easy. My niece Pete was asking me, so 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.360 back to that point before we get for it. I 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.960 think people are distracted. I don't think people are stupid. 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.640 I don't think they're incapable of learning. Pete disagrees with me. 0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.360 I understand, but people are not incapable of learning. It 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.959 just takes different work to teach different people certain things, 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:22.119 and it's not easy. We don't all learn the same way, 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.160 and it's just not fair, but we don't. But people 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.960 aren't stupid, they're just distracted. Their own life makes it 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.280 makes it really tough for them to listen, you know, 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.560 what I mean. So it's hard for people to let 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.720 alone iq intellect. Rather, it's something that's like a gift 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.720 that ain't even normal. Everybody don't have intellect, you know 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.800 what I'm saying. So I try my best not to really, 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:45.840 you know what I mean, focused on that because I 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.080 focused on trying to teach people. But my niece asked 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.120 me something Pete that I thought was crazy, and it 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.160 was something that Jobs told me before too, because me 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.000 and Jobs had this incredible conversation again y'all check it out, 0:03:57.080 --> 0:04:00.680 but we were talking about blackness and it was something 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.440 to that effect of what being black is all about, 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.600 and I had critigue for somebody in their pursuit of 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.200 highest excellency peep of blackness. He was like, well, how 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.960 are you gonna say something You're a crip? And it 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.720 threw me off so crazy because I was like, well, 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.200 what does that mean that I'm a crypt and you know, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:34.480 are black. That's not the point he was saying, because 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:39.000 obviously the stigma and the misinformation about crips. There is 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.520 some validity to some of the conversation, but there's a 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.200 lot of misinformation. And my niece brought it up to 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.279 me again She was like, why do people think gang 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:55.640 members are stupid? And I just thought that that made 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.760 for a great conversation because this is one of those 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.919 misconceptions where I brought Jobs, because Jobs is somebody that 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.360 is from Detroit and he understands, you know, he has 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.159 a very outside perspective of gangs. Pete, even though you're 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.320 from Orange County, you still kind of know gangsters, you 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.640 know what I mean. You know, actually some pretty high 0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:16.400 level guys. 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:17.080 Joey. 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.680 You grew up in the smack dead middle of South 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.280 Central in the eighties, you know what I'm saying, and 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.560 in the eightieth Street area of Los Angeles, right, So 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.560 it's like you have a perception from being close enough 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.800 to it, you know what I mean. And then obviously 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.920 my niece is the same, and I've ta'ma crypt, so 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.760 I have all insight information. So I thought this would 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:42.680 be a great conversation for people to listen to. Yeah, 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.800 what do you think, Nana is the greatest misconception of 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.680 people thinking that I'm a crypt? 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.039 Means what exactly? 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.480 Well, it's kind of hard because we all grew up 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:58.320 in the same house, so I like, it was a 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.599 long time before I actually knew what I was doing. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.160 I think like Robert had got like shot or something 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:06.320 before I knew, like, oh my gosh, they're gang bangers, 0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:10.360 you know what I mean? So y'all are not like spooky, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.560 Oh I'm gonna scare you, Rob Like that's not how 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.200 it works. And you know, I'm a spiritual girl. He 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:22.240 So it's like war and tribalism skims way beyond the streets. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.360 So I think that movies and and like society has 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.279 painted this picture of what a gang banger is, and 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.279 that LA has like this, we have the best marketing 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:36.000 in branding for gangs. So people have the stereotype and 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.360 it's like, no, these are people who are like humans, 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.919 multifaceted people. They're like intelligent, like y'all didn't wake up 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.320 one day and say, oh I want to grow up 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.000 and be a crip, like you know what I mean, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.200 Like y' are humans yet? 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.840 Right? So I just so confused. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.039 Yeah, yeah, Josh, what do you see y'all? As you know, 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:59.560 because you from you're out of Detroit. You you obviously 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.760 you know, maybe you got a decade on me in 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:02.599 wisdom and time. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.480 You've been on this earth a little longer. 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.000 Damn old in fact, nigga, and I disagree with y'all. 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.280 That is not what I said. I am, I don't care, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.440 No I did. It's not Oh, I'm saying. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.640 You have a decade on me for sure, being on 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.680 this earth, so you know more than me. What do 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.640 you disagree like? What do you feel people like? What 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.800 do you think game? What do you think it means 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:24.720 to be a gang member? 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.080 It means it made a bad decision in life? 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.880 Did you yes? What's the decision? You mad? 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.280 Give me the lifespan your average game banker that doesn't 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:35.960 include prison? 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.840 Oh, I've heard my whole life. Twenty five is the number. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.160 But I think average gang banker that you're familiar with 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.960 in your city, your area of your community, that doesn't 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.920 include death or prison. 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.680 You said, what's the lifespan? 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:55.360 Yes? 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.280 How about this? What's the percentage? What's the percentage of fact, 0:07:59.000 --> 0:07:59.800 never get killed? 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:01.240 Oh? 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.600 No, no, that that number got to be very minute. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.360 That number gotta probably be like fifteen percent. 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.920 If your wife is a business, how is becoming a 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.080 crypt a good business decision?

That's why I 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.720 met with it. I don't want niggers on my grass 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.640 at twenty two. Yes, I agree with you exactly. 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.760 That's a four business decision on my part, though I 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.800 allowed this man to control my energy to lead me 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.840 in a position that's not conducive to be me being 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.800 successful long term. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:37.520 Yeah, bro, But again, poverty means success doesn't dictate everything. 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.559 That's not the reason to be alive. Like the reason 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.160 to be alive is not business. The reason to be 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.920 alive is not all of these things that we decide 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.400 we want to live for, because it could mean probably 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.040 would be selling out a lot of things. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.400 What do you stand for? Okay, if you just stand 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:55.240 for hey. 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:55.400 You know what. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:56.719 I just want to make a lot of money, you 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.480 know what I mean. There's a lot of different decisions 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.920 we can all make. But let's go back to. 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.360 We have to go into like how do people view 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.120 like the Black Panther Party, Like how do people you 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.559 other types of groups? Are militias are gains? Like are 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.760 is going to the army of bad business decisions? 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.000 A great business decision because it's legal, Like does the 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.320 presidents of state said everything you think is right and wrong? 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.040 The legal the legalities definitely play a part in that. 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.600 For sure, the fact that it's legal, people will say 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:29.520 it's a good decision. 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.440 But at that point in you have to behest of 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.760 whatever the state tells you is correct, which at one time. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:39.640 The period any people feel like the law is right 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.199 no matter what, because it's the rules. It's like, it's 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.640 the rules of the world, So why wouldn't you follow 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:46.280 them if you know you're gonna get in trouble if 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:46.960 you don't follow them. 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:51.640 But benefit though, and peach point is is simple, right, 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.719 And I'm gonna make peak point. The laws are what 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.040 most people or the idea of society come together and said, 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:02.520 these are the rules. In all fairness, the rules don't 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:08.240 fit everybody, They're not designed too. So then why would 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.320 so as a person that lives his life outside of 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.240 the law, why would I be stupid? Or why is 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.560 it bad business? 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.920 So let me ask you this. I'm sorry, Pete, but 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.960 you're you're a gang member, you got stripes, niggas love you, 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.200 you got all the respect, the women crazy for you, 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.840 and then your girl gets pregnant. And in that instance, 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.000 are you saying, damn, I hope my son grows up 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:32.920 to be a great crip. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.920 No, I don't want to raise him in the same community. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.400 Well some people have. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.080 Yeah, I can't sure you. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.480 There's a connotation with that though, that's not possive. 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.840 But again, again, these are economic things. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.880 Like it's not an economically good decision. 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.120 Well, I'm saying these are the economic side of it. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.520 It's actually a fantastic economic decision. That's another thing. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.439 It's not a short sighted economic decisions. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:01.680 No, it's long term. 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:02.440 No, it's not. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.840 It is not period one of the greatest long term 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:06.800 decisions I ever made. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.600 Get you, you're very very rare. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.280 Again, how the type of persons, not the anomaly, the 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:19.680 type of person you are determines a type of crip 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:24.440 you're going to be. So again, some things that we 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.760 are blaming on cripping is more an indication of somebody 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.520 being a dick. Like right, it's like just because like 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.240 being a crip or a blood or POWERU is an 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:41.200 outlaw organization. They don't advocate like the sexual sort of women. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.800 That's not accepted. Like there are still standards that you 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.080 are supposed to live with. 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:47.560 Are you serious? 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.040 Bro, I'm telling you the truth. 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:58.199 So that's not it happens butt that y'all go to parties. 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.120 Ya y'all not feeling up on the ass. 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.120 Up even even removing that Like that's really. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.240 Like I just told my uncle the other day, the 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.559 only time I never felt safe in Watts was when 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.240 there was like a child molester. I never not felt 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:18.440 safe in Watts with knowing gang bangers from all different hoods, 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.360 I never not feel safe. But if I knew it 0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.000 was somebody who was kidnapping kids or something. That's when 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:27.240 I didn't feel safe scary. But I'm saying I grew 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.920 up in a house full of gang bangers and I never, 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.120 not once, not. 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.360 Long to them. Because your family is your friends. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:38.640 Go ahead, I'm sorry. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.760 Two items like with regard to like the military parallel, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:49.400 there is amidst the conflict of military usage and dispersement. 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.640 While there are civilian casualties, there are also civilian beneficiaries. 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.240 I don't see a decent scale of civilian beneficiaries to 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:03.080 gang banging. Usually the beneficial juries are consolidated to the membership. Additionally, 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:07.600 there's a difference between you not feeling safe being around 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.120 a neighborhood full of gang bangers and for the gang 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:13.720 bangers themselves not to be exposed to an enormous amount 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.560 of risk for the participation within the activities. 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.080 Let me ask you this, you don't you feel very 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:28.040 safe and watch you should feel safe period. However, I 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.360 drop you in Compton if and I'm an outsider, I 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.359 just see shit on TV. Compton is more more bloods. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.880 No, no, it's more crips and lost only place in 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.360 Los Angeles, in the County of Los Angeles that has 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:41.560 more bloods is Inglewood. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.080 We'll say you. I'll drop you off from Inglewood at 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.600 three o'clock in the morning with a blue rag glued 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.720 to your forehead. Do you feel safe? 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:50.600 Yeah? 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.120 Really, you're an anomaly because the rest of us are 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:54.760 scared shit. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.600 Because I have this idea that gang bangers are Boogeyman 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:00.960 and that's what they are. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.240 No, I have this idea that they subscribe and practice 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:06.160 what they say they do. 0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:08.880 Yeah, but but but what that? 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:13.720 Huh? Why would you just I should assume y'all lions? 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.280 Why would they mess with you? Though? Like? What? What? Why? 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:17.760 You? 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:19.200 His question to me. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.960 He's saying, if, as a crip, if I went over 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:23.920 there with a blue rag and I went to Inglewood, 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:24.880 could there be a problem. 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.840 Yes, yes, I've been pressed by gang bangers before just shopping. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:30.880 Yes, exactly. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.080 But I would have I would have the same problem though, 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:36.720 jobs if I went to Russia and I had an 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.720 American flag glued on my head, I would have that 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.400 same problem you would. 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:50.680 How do you actually think, though, that cripping is a country? 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.360 It is? My country is my nation. 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:58.160 Yeah, but your country is the size of Detroit. 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.120 Facts, but does that means that I have us. 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:06.199 The rest of us have a view that y'all niggas 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:07.800 participated in giving. 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:11.119 Us no no I think, I think. 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:16.480 Okay, So remember Hollywood painted the picture like Hollywood painted 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.880 the picture of what you know about gangs, and then 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:22.920 there's the actual nuance of gangs. So where colors said, hey, 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:28.720 it's blue versus red, and maybe to some degree, I ironically, there's. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.720 Certain lines where that's true. There's certain lines where it's 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:30.960 not true. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.800 Depends on twenty pete when you think about it, because 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.879 bloods didn't really pick up red rags until maybe the 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.720 late seventies, you know what I mean. The whole idea 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:47.760 of red versus blue is explained really loosely. It's heightened 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:50.480 and condensed right for people to get what's going on, 0:17:51.040 --> 0:17:54.360 but it's not actually nuanced to say that the relationship 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.040 between communities. Look, one thing I don't want to do 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.480 on this podcast is to defend gang banging. That's that's 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.879 not the point. If you grow up in poor communities, 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.400 poor people bond together, create these crews, and they don't 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.720 care about what the laws say. They gonna make something 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.560 of their life. That's as simple as a gang is. 0:18:10.560 --> 0:18:12.080 That's all it is that's. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:17.200 A fraction of our community. Most poor people work, pay 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:22.200 their taxes and die. Sure, so they don't rob anybody. 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:23.320 They don't tell nobody. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.960 Don't think rob Robin Robin has nothing to do with gangs. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.760 That's not a part of the function. That's just. 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.080 You don't have to rob what. Let me ask you this. 0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.120 Let's say you guys are the nicest people in the 0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:41.200 history of nice niggas. Why do you ask people where 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:42.680 they're from? 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.040 Because they could be a threat to my existence and 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:50.680 asking them a question? Yes, would you you know if 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.320 I can if I understand. 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:54.000 Threat to me or not? 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:54.359 Yes? 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:55.159 Simple? 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:56.320 I get that. 0:18:56.520 --> 0:18:58.440 You assume a threat. You don't ask a threat. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.600 Well, that's the fairness of cripping. I don't like cripping 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.320 is to ask you are you a threat? Are you 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:07.360 a part of a community. 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.320 That's like, no one asked me where I'm from. I 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:14.080 get asked, do you know where you're at? That's what 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:19.520 I get asked. I don't get asked where you're from? 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:18.040 You? 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.840 Yeah, the closest I got to get rolled up on 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:25.359 hard You know this is the liquor store on Confident 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:29.000 ninety second. Oh yeah, about one fifty eight with some 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.080 girl from one hundred and thirteenth trying to get a bottle. 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.400 Oh yeah, I was like they though I was. 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.360 I was about to leave my car with her in it. 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.480 I was gonna clock the first guy because I seen 0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.199 him coming in, and I'm like, they're gonna fuck me 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.320 on the way out, and they kind of like, get 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:47.960 by the doors. I'm coming out. I'm like, I'm gonna 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:50.560 clock the first guy on the right, booking around the corner. 0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:52.200 I'm one year out of college, I'm. 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:52.600 Out of there. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.560 And as I walk out, the police pulled into the lots, 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.560 so it didn't have to do it. And I was 0:19:57.600 --> 0:19:59.800 still concerned about the police because I was already tossed. 0:20:01.760 --> 0:20:03.640 As soon as I pull off, they gonna pull me over. 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.960 And to give you a drunk driving might be worse. 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:14.159 No jobs, So okay, you don't go ahead. 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:16.160 How much. 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:25.080 Net worth money from downward asset value pressure on real 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:31.040 estate has that created for all the homeowning residents in 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.240
