Speaker 1: You're the home girl Testla for girl man. You may
Speaker 1: know where. She's a well known news that you know
Speaker 1: news analysts and political analysts. You can see her all
Speaker 1: the time, only sister on Fox News. Um, she talked
Speaker 1: to box you all the time, man, go back, we
Speaker 1: go back to shoes. Little baby. Yeah, she said, you
Speaker 1: don't want that. Told her when she was a little
Speaker 1: girl back there and she need to take her as
Speaker 1: to school. Yeah, yeah she was. She was close to
Speaker 1: going the other way. I said me, it ain't nothing
Speaker 1: out here with this. You need to get on. And
Speaker 1: then I see her a few months in between after
Speaker 1: I see her here, and then she said, I need
Speaker 1: to go to Dallas. If I don't get out of here,
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do. So I hucked
Speaker 1: her up and set up down the Dallas. Give it
Speaker 1: little something, get right, And I said, you just kind
Speaker 1: of your business, like you don't want I don't want that,
Speaker 1: Just gonna do you. At that time, I was so heavy,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you don't be dead on jail anyway,
Speaker 1: But I don't make you. I don't know I did
Speaker 1: something right with it? Are you sure? I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm cool, going to do you. And I lost contact
Speaker 1: with her for at least about a decade or so.
Speaker 1: She found got my name through a mutual friend because
Speaker 1: she never knew my real because I was ote, so
Speaker 1: everybody don't eve knew Spud there ain't know nothing else,
Speaker 1: and she found he got my ass, she wrote, and
Speaker 1: he came and see me like teen years later when
Speaker 1: I was in old mind, I'd already been down like Elevin,
Speaker 1: and she rode with me the rest of the bid
Speaker 1: I mean rid fly. At that time, she was in uh, Florida, Orlando,
Speaker 1: and she was fine, like once a month from Atlanta,
Speaker 1: who comes spend a weekend with me, you know, and
Speaker 1: just telling me all what she was doing. This was
Speaker 1: really before she was heavy in the politics. She had
Speaker 1: just really was getting her foot on doing certain things.
Speaker 1: But you know, she pressed the line some bushes and
Speaker 1: then now she went it Fox News clowning. They respect her.
Speaker 1: They really feared though, for real because no like her,
Speaker 1: like her show straight shot, no Chases. She ain't playing
Speaker 1: And I'm like, man, you season a number when you
Speaker 1: get all this from She's like, huh. She got me
Speaker 1: watching policies. Man, let me tell you something. I couldn't
Speaker 1: stand politics because I felt the all fakers lived from
Speaker 1: Obama on down. He's gonna give you these prospection in
Speaker 1: the past. When Obama was running for office, he was
Speaker 1: promising how the crack lag gonna go. One is gonna
Speaker 1: go one to one, this and that, this and that
Speaker 1: didn't get in there, and his hands is tired and
Speaker 1: he can't do it. But I didn't know none of that.
Speaker 1: Then I learned though that from her it's a it's
Speaker 1: a process for everything. Just because you're president on me,
Speaker 1: you know, you can just make this happen. So now
Speaker 1: they gave me a little bit more respectful Obama, and
Speaker 1: she every day she's giving me some type of tidbit
Speaker 1: or game about the politics. Now, man, I'm looking at
Speaker 1: it turning on there. You said I'm gonna see any
Speaker 1: and I'm on Fox. I'm on all of them just
Speaker 1: because her, Because now I understand more so you got
Speaker 1: to give a shot at her for that. Dea for
Speaker 1: sure shut out. She's been able to school us being uh,
Speaker 1: coming from our side of the tracks, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, trying to live that neighborhood lifestyle whatever, and
Speaker 1: then being able to flip over in the politics and
Speaker 1: learning the game that those people come from. She's been
Speaker 1: able to school a lot of us on the insights
Speaker 1: of what you probably were knowledgeable about as far as politics.
Speaker 1: She got me on it. But I like most though,
Speaker 1: it is how She could give you an analogy about anything,
Speaker 1: but she's showing you how crips and bloods and how
Speaker 1: we getting down on the streets. It's and in the
Speaker 1: pan it's so similar how the politics get in. She
Speaker 1: break it down like that, and you're like, Dan, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Yeah, just stuff, understand that from
Speaker 1: that street side, saying she's the school. Motherfucker's on. Hey,
Speaker 1: you didn't know that this, and let's let me break
Speaker 1: it down to you in street terms. That's what one
Speaker 1: of her her main things is, let me put it
Speaker 1: in street terms for you so you can understand. And
Speaker 1: it's just like a button click, like damn, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. She always said she I'm trying to
Speaker 1: get eight to go on to run for me. Here
Speaker 1: counter she keeps saying that, yeah, man, you know, so
Speaker 1: spoil let's go back. So I assume if he was
Speaker 1: out of town in Oklahoma, he was out there handling
Speaker 1: your business, doing my thing. He was out there doing
Speaker 1: your thing. How long was you out there? Uh? Until
Speaker 1: I called my case at ninety nine seven years because
Speaker 1: when he was down there doing a goal there that
Speaker 1: it was a good run, that was a good out
Speaker 1: of town. And how much time do you wind up
Speaker 1: doing seventeen and a half years. They give me seventeen
Speaker 1: and a half years. I did fifteen years and eleven months.
Speaker 1: I've been home since two thousand and fifteen. And so
Speaker 1: while you was in there, you started a program to
Speaker 1: where you help brothers start learning how to read the
Speaker 1: books and stuff like that. Right, yeah, it came about
Speaker 1: you know when the car, when you're in the fest,
Speaker 1: it's really states, your states. Just kick it up. And
Speaker 1: then you got the bees to see sup. So we're cool.
Speaker 1: It's just us, but so you don't really get outside
Speaker 1: your circle. Its state. This is Callie, where you're tremping
Speaker 1: blood square open and whatever. It's Callie. And then when
Speaker 1: my book first came out, at that time, I had
Speaker 1: dropped my first series with call Whoever and the Homies,
Speaker 1: I was getting book shifted in Homies let me read
Speaker 1: you when everything and I'm just giving him to the
Speaker 1: homies to read. And this is one particular HOMEI he's
Speaker 1: from Houston. They led him in the car just because
Speaker 1: he had Fami the cafortable and Sweet messed with us.
Speaker 1: And then I could just tell it was like he
Speaker 1: check me on me. Oh man, this is tight, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read it. And it's just like we're being there
Speaker 1: watching TV. You can see sometimes we got a little
Speaker 1: gamnet tickets where bat on sports and you could seem
Speaker 1: like screen, I'm gonna blind or something's wrong with you.
Speaker 1: He's a don't know, man, my eyes have been hurting?
Speaker 1: Is this? And I just picked up on some kind
Speaker 1: of room. I left me something you can't read on
Speaker 1: you look at some spin you ain't now I can't.
Speaker 1: I said, so, how do you functionate? I'm saying, it's like, really,
Speaker 1: I fake it as I know. We ain't gonna do that.
Speaker 1: I said, we ain't can do it. Every day home,
Speaker 1: come to the room with me. Were fin the kid,
Speaker 1: We're gonna top it up. You're gonna read this. You're
Speaker 1: gonna read this book on your own. And told me
Speaker 1: I saw it the home and start didn't and he
Speaker 1: come to be able to read a chapter on his own.
Speaker 1: I got it. You know, we gotta whisper because you
Speaker 1: know that ego. You gotta keep that front up in it.
Speaker 1: So after that I went down to the education. It
Speaker 1: was like a man, uh, I want to teach a
Speaker 1: class and they knew everybody around the yard knew I
Speaker 1: had books out from prison. I signed my deal or whatever,
Speaker 1: so then I got that, I got the little class started,
Speaker 1: and I had like fifty people in the class, like damn.
Speaker 1: So in beginning I start off just and look everything
Speaker 1: that goes on in the air, I'm staying here, man.
Speaker 1: We ain't putting it with your homies the different cause
Speaker 1: we can't keep this in here. Man. First of all,
Speaker 1: if you have a filmmenty and read, let's talk about
Speaker 1: that too, because I want to set up something where
Speaker 1: we can start getting people to getting up out of
Speaker 1: here and having a shot. Instead, they teach you how
Speaker 1: to fell out the applications antybody even filling out paper applications.
Speaker 1: Everything is own line. So but you got to know
Speaker 1: how to read. And that's how I started. So I
Speaker 1: started teaching. It was just basically giving them the floormat
Speaker 1: on how to write a book if you're interested in that,
Speaker 1: and then slash. If you don't have the problems read,
Speaker 1: we're gonna break it down and we're gonna learn how
Speaker 1: to do it. And it's like ninety day classes. Man.
Speaker 1: I did that all the way my last three years,
Speaker 1: so got out and every time and just to like
Speaker 1: I say appreciation that they showed me a little panel back. Man,
Speaker 1: I love you, love you, and just like telling your
Speaker 1: home y'all love you. I love you because you showed
Speaker 1: me something and that that just stuck with me, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And it was a good feeling,
Speaker 1: real good feeling. Yeah. So how many brothers would you
Speaker 1: estimate that she was able to help learn how to
Speaker 1: read during the whole time every ninety day. So that's
Speaker 1: four it's four times a year, three times times three years,
Speaker 1: said Hunter. So it's your Hunter brothers out there to
Speaker 1: know how to read. Man, that's some really, that's incredible.
Speaker 1: And it was ammies from like I said, different states,
Speaker 1: from Texas, mainly Texas because I was in Beaumont, but
Speaker 1: I had some Filly dudes and New York dudes, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, some Louisiana cats. Just after each class,
Speaker 1: after the ninety days is up, they send a sheet
Speaker 1: to the unit. They put them on the wall all
Speaker 1: the class we signed your name, and that's the chip.
Speaker 1: When the come of my you and I go to

Speaker 1: goes to your mind, you know what I mean. Then
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I got this, look shit, I got

Speaker 1: struggle because how couldn't you not want to retaliate, because
Speaker 1: that's that's how we was for the fact that you
Speaker 1: are still here and you have to reminisce on the
Speaker 1: fact that, well, that would make any motherfucker like until you,

Speaker 1: I can't do you know what I mean, living your
Speaker 1: life like that? Just it took me out of town
Speaker 1: to really see. Damn, this ain't doing nothing. You go
Speaker 1: out of town, you're having a boat, you're getting their money,
Speaker 1: and you're chilling and you're going on this side. You
Speaker 1: see trips, but you ain't worrying about Kim. They don't
Speaker 1: know me. Ain't never done anybody on the same purpose. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everybody getting the second. Wait, that's way finished. I gotta
Speaker 1: I gott a serious question the dude go, so I
Speaker 1: don't think up thing. Who was he at over there?
Speaker 1: It was right to ask no, But he walked the
Speaker 1: ship backwards. He didn't started up right there. He was
Speaker 1: trying to be a little for light. He shouldn't push
Speaker 1: it all the way until he got to the name. Motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Wasn't scary that. I got a serious question. But all
Speaker 1: you've been through and where you're at today, do you
Speaker 1: tell a little homies my niggas, It ain't that goddamn serious.
Speaker 1: It's okay to be who you are, but it ain't
Speaker 1: that goddamn serious. I tell es, I got a lot
Speaker 1: of young armies that I just met, riders that ain't
Speaker 1: they just with the bullshit? I see him with this man,
Speaker 1: I love to set to going to raise him. Man,
Speaker 1: I love him, But what you're gonna get You ain't
Speaker 1: getting no money, You ain't working, you ain't even hustling
Speaker 1: you out here, just some of the day to day
Speaker 1: game banging. What you're gonna get from this, but to
Speaker 1: see if some grief and get your family. Greek man,
Speaker 1: we about this is our turn. I said, yes, your turn,
Speaker 1: but think about it. You really should listen to somebody
Speaker 1: has already have been through. Nigger lucky home, n this
Speaker 1: is before the cheer. I'm lucky. It's God, it has
Speaker 1: to be, you know what I mean. I go seek
Speaker 1: to detention centers. I did in Oklahoma. I did in
Speaker 1: Texas at UH when that was Testas set that up.
Speaker 1: It was a Texas Southern College. And then I go
Speaker 1: to the juvenile halls and just we are doing this pandemic.
Speaker 1: We've been doing zooms just to see how the kids
Speaker 1: hang on my every word. And I'm because I'm telling
Speaker 1: that this ain't no movie, This ain't no scared straight,
Speaker 1: I ain't trying to scape. Just real, look at it,
Speaker 1: and this was a fluke, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: It's real. I think the problem with that is because
Speaker 1: ship just like we was when we was fifteen, sixteen, seventeen,
Speaker 1: it was hard for motherfucker to tell us not to
Speaker 1: bang or rept the hood because we felt like ship,
Speaker 1: what else is it if you're doing it still at
Speaker 1: end them the day because we've been there and done that.
Speaker 1: The way we used to get down is totally different.
Speaker 1: The time they used to give you back then setay
Speaker 1: two hours. If a motherfucker didn't show up, you walked
Speaker 1: away from my mind. Now today you're getting motherfucking life
Speaker 1: at fourteen, fifteen years old. They don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: But when when we was doing it, I mean, it
Speaker 1: was a slap on the ridge, get the funk on.
Speaker 1: You know, they see us again something you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But some dude listen and something don't. What
Speaker 1: is the effect of the motherfucker's who tell you just
Speaker 1: like I'm been through them the episodes too at fifteen
Speaker 1: sixteen and the motherucker trying to tell you you shouldn't
Speaker 1: this and that, and I'm looking at him like, nigga,
Speaker 1: fuck you, this this the hood. But that's the problem. Today.
Speaker 1: You can't we can't be hypocrites because I look like
Speaker 1: a damn food on this podcast telling another cat you're
Speaker 1: fucking stupid for doing what you do. I've been there,
Speaker 1: I've done that ship, so I look stupid telling him,
Speaker 1: you're a freaking idiot for going out this shooting somebody
Speaker 1: that was my life. So I can't tell him that,
Speaker 1: but I can sit him down and say check this,
Speaker 1: o nig, this is where you're gonna go if you
Speaker 1: keep doing what you do, if you want to get
Speaker 1: down like this, I can't stop you. I ain't you daddy,
Speaker 1: I ain't your uncle. One day you're gonna say that
Speaker 1: motherfucker told me, whether if you're letting in prison or
Speaker 1: the last fifteen minutes of mother in the hospital. Holly,
Speaker 1: for God, every time I got shot off, God, but
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even call his name back then. I didn't.
Speaker 1: That was a sign of weakness for me. The holmeis
Speaker 1: damn sure, ain't gonna hear me say God. But you
Speaker 1: know what it is. It's just really to answer your
Speaker 1: question for real. It's a sign of the times. I'm
Speaker 1: a second generation single with blood. We respected the big homes.
Speaker 1: The homies say, man, y'all stay out the way, or
Speaker 1: y'all gonna be with it. One of the two that
Speaker 1: was my big homes, the homes. Now we got homies
Speaker 1: up fund of me that they handled their thing. They
Speaker 1: passed it down. But now it's a whole new day.
Speaker 1: Drugs play a main factor in our time. Drudge play
Speaker 1: the main factory because we choosing to get money. We
Speaker 1: was using drudge to get money. We weren't out there
Speaker 1: Molly and lean and all these drugs, ecstasy. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at one of my little hommaries, Core riding just sitting
Speaker 1: there stuck out the pistol, leaning against the wall, chewing,
Speaker 1: looking crazy strong with that man on that ship. Man
Speaker 1: with just they snort and power, they popping peels, Milly's
Speaker 1: and oxy and present percocess. They said, y'all that drug

Speaker 1: you gonna move? If the ops hit the block and
Speaker 1: dunk you stuck? You can't even run, didn't let alone

Speaker 1: the technology they got nappoplar, we all would have had
Speaker 1: life senses if they had damn they ain't. Got every
Speaker 1: house in the neighborhood got a camera on it. You
Speaker 1: roll down the street, up on somebody, you see it,
Speaker 1: They're gonna follow your whole route to come come get you.

Speaker 1: we know you got that money. We know you, we
Speaker 1: know you don't fight these people. Take this time, get
Speaker 1: out the way, and I'm like. Then the next she said,

Speaker 1: just been down twenty two years. He hit me, said,
Speaker 1: I'm on my way home home and I want to
Speaker 1: see you again. You see what they gave me. And

Speaker 1: but later I'm taking you said, even if the deal fifteen,
Speaker 1: it's gonna sound like it's too much. Just lay down
Speaker 1: and do that time. Come home on. And I thought
Speaker 1: about that. Then I thought about what the d A
Speaker 1: lady told you had assistant District attorney told She said, listen,

Speaker 1: and get what I decide. I want you to get
Speaker 1: plea out with cooperation, and I'm gonna get you closest

Speaker 1: You're gonna have you, your kids, kids, gonna have grand
Speaker 1: kids by the time you come on, if you don't
Speaker 1: die in prison. So it's something that you're going back
Speaker 1: and listen all the stories in there about me and
Speaker 1: then tell me what you want to do. Then I
Speaker 1: get the letters from the homies, my baby mama like, man,
Speaker 1: just take a deal this ship. When I'm didding tender like,
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, no, no, I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: signing nothing with they ten, okay, but tender life now, then,
Speaker 1: my lord, you put it up on it. He said.
Speaker 1: Tender life is just they standing. It goes on your
Speaker 1: criminal history. Lucky, I ain't never being convicted as an
Speaker 1: adult on anything, and they couldn't use my juvennam so
Speaker 1: my numbers failed fourteen and a half years to seventeen years.
Speaker 1: So I took the deal. But when I went to court,
Speaker 1: because I didn't tell, she brought a Dudeya. Every time
Speaker 1: I saw the mckeago or cocaine, I had a gun.
Speaker 1: So now that up my numbers for seventeen and a
Speaker 1: half being my low head, two four being my high
Speaker 1: and my and my lawyer was said, when it's two ten,
Speaker 1: he put some years. I was like, man, I'm not man,

Speaker 1: He said, look, man, I'm gonna give you sixty back.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take to twenty for travel to take this.
Speaker 1: Take the deal because like the grand jury certified, once
Speaker 1: they certified what they were, it is God law. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay. So I come up out it with
Speaker 1: seventeen and a half years in two thousand and I
Speaker 1: come home two thousand and fifteen. But while I was
Speaker 1: in prison, I wrote twenty seven bucks and I got

Speaker 1: a year except for last year. Last almost two years
Speaker 1: I've been down and you know promotion going to the
Speaker 1: city to city bow. I mean here, I am fished
Speaker 1: out the fans that I'm going to East State and
Speaker 1: it ain't the state. I ain't gonna go through that.
Speaker 1: I know somebody that was in the first or calling
Speaker 1: home he went went Since since how did Detroit men
Speaker 1: tell himmu? Did Tim brings people up there? And the
Speaker 1: people who I'm doing the signings, it becomes redundant. This
Speaker 1: is what we're doing from basically May October. That's the
Speaker 1: little circuit run where you hit Detroit, Columbus, Cincinnati, Indiana,
Speaker 1: then you hit Philly, New York, Jersey, and then you
Speaker 1: hit the South. And what's so crazy? What I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: how can I hear all these states and getting all
Speaker 1: this money but can't feel good? California is like number
Speaker 1: twenty on my list, it's my best sellers. How come
Speaker 1: where I'm from, where I know thousands of bloods because
Speaker 1: everybody houses of crips. Why motherfucker's can't get my book
Speaker 1: at home? This is says, that's just how we do
Speaker 1: it because we don't read, and we don't read. We're
Speaker 1: too visual. They do that in music but yeah, we're
Speaker 1: too visual. We want to see the movie instead of
Speaker 1: read the book. But you know they always say the
Speaker 1: book is better than the movie. But in California, no
Speaker 1: matter how many problem, I had four books signings at
Speaker 1: the mall one deo. I said about twit thirty books. Man,
Speaker 1: I go to Detroit, I gotta literally about my books
Speaker 1: in like six cases in and bring like fore with
Speaker 1: me on the plane because I'm gonna sell out. I
Speaker 1: go to Columbus sell out and it's the same people
Speaker 1: every time. It ain't like it's a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: new people. It's I heard about you. Hey, I got
Speaker 1: some over you. If you go to sign it, you
Speaker 1: can't bring me the old books you got to sign.
Speaker 1: You gotta buy one. Man, I got this book. I
Speaker 1: bound with this with signing just so they can put
Speaker 1: it up. And then that's how you build it and
Speaker 1: the building a night. Right now, I'm a national best
Speaker 1: selling Arthor builds your farther from the ground up, from
Speaker 1: the from the prison to the street. I'm still trying
Speaker 1: to get the West coast. I'm trying to get the house,

Speaker 1: home to cracket, y'all here with it. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: on the street again. That's my whole thing. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get on the street because it's banks from every city. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean for real. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, y'all, y'all want movies in that's coming to
Speaker 1: because now I just feel like it ain't nothing I
Speaker 1: can't do, yeah, for sure, because West Coast is definitely
Speaker 1: a more visual place. So let me ask you this man,
Speaker 1: did you go through any therapy or anything, man to
Speaker 1: get past that? They past what the injury and stuff
