I 57 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: think that like a lot of these guys that had 58 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: issues with me, you know, they come in to fight 59 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: with camera crews, you know what I'm saying, Like it's 60 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: were in the cloud era. So it's like, you know, 61 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: they think they they thought it was a free pick, 62 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: so they just want to, you know, do what they 63 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 1: gotta do to get their cloud up. But I don't 64 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: gotta do nothing like that, you know what I mean, 65 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: to get no cloud up, because, like you said, the 66 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: music speak for itself. My brother. You know what I'm saying. 67 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: We leave street stuff in the streets. I don't mean 68 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: get into that. You said someone now I'm now it's interesting. 69 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: And I wondered because I never thought about it. But 70 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: you said you make people feel good about coming from Gary, Indiana, sir, 71 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 1: And I was like, well, damn, I want to. I 72 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: never thought about what impact did the Jacksons have on 73 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: young black kids coming from Gary. I don't know. I mean, 74 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: you know, it was definitely motivation to see the you know, 75 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 1: the biggest musical family come from right around the corner 76 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: where you're from. But you know, it wasn't really like 77 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: a direct you know, tangible impact, you know what I mean. 78 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: But it's hard, man, you know what I mean. Like 79 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: Gary's a it's a tough place to be from, you 80 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I don't go back enough, 81 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because I got stuff that 82 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: I got going on and I'm trying to pursue. So 83 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in a position now I could 84 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: go back and make changes, but I wasn't in the 85 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: beginning of my career because I was still trying to 86 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: get to where I needed to be. I could see 87 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: how you're more relatable than the Jackson, is what I'm saying. 88 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying. I didn't like that. 89 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: But he didn't like the fact that people would say, 90 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: you know, from the same place as the Jackson. Yeah, 91 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: because you said that at the I remember that. I 92 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: was mad than because I didn't like you. For long time. 93 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: I ain't like you. I did not know. I am 94 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: to tell you so it was. It wasn't actually Double 95 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: Cell was MTV was m so we had to show 96 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: on MTV. You know how MTV writes the scripts. So 97 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: the teleprompt that says from Gary, Indiana, the same home 98 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: with the Jackson five and Michael Jackson, Freddie Gibbs, No, No, 99 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: don't do it, Envy, what was it to tell? Wrote 100 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: it out? What was it? They wrote it out? And 101 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: that's the way it was red. That's where it was written. 102 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: But you ain't say it like you said, like Gary 103 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: at home, he was cloudy. I can imagine. I believe you, Freddy, 104 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I know this. I believe, Yeah, I believe I took 105 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: the fense to that. But you know, we cool. It 106 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: was like it was like fifteen years. So why you 107 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: don't like him because you mess up? He got I 108 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: didn't mess up. I said it the right way. He 109 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 1: gotta stay. I ain't sucking from Gary, Indiana. He said something. 110 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: I know. He didn't say that. You just lied on him. 111 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: I know he didn't say that. It was something Freddy, 112 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: that's all he doesn't say from Gary. And I'm not 113 00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: funn What did you say?

That's what I said. 115 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: So it's just the first time y'all made up no time, 116 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: by the way, over a span of thirteen years. That's 117 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: why I'm shocked. I've never heard you say. I've never 118 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: heard that big love and respect for when he didn't 119 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: like me. I still like that was a little we 120 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: spoke after that. It was there was a little time ago. 121 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: He was like fourteen years ago. All his bee Sicilian 122 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: shn't be this is It's like something he said.

Man was the Mmy's very sensitive. 125 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: Would you consider yourself sensitive? Emmy light skin man right 126 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: to be sensitive. He's a stereotyping stereotype. That's that's all 127 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: it is. As soon as I walked in, I said, 128 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: my light skin brother, that's right, that's my brother. For that. 129 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 1: We do away, we always be with. I do want 130 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: to along these lines, I do want to talk about 131 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: some things you did say on the album. Right, So 132 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: you and Jeez you talked about your own immaturity in 133 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: that situation. So what made you come to that realization 134 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: because this was something that for years you've had, you know, 135 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: kind of a chip on your shoulder about it. But 136 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: now you're like, you know what I was inventure. I 137 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: wasn't ready. You even said, you've listened back to some 138 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: of those old songs, yeah, and so on a Rabbit Vision. Yeah. 139 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: I was just ready to just get past that in 140 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: my career, you know what I mean? Like I didn't 141 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: really you know, me and me and me and Jez 142 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: ain't never had no like physical stuff or anything of 143 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: that nature. So it's just like, you know, like we 144 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: can you know, I can, I can move past that. 145 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: That was just a business disagreement. Did you have a 146 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,280 Speaker 1: conversation because you said some wild stuff about Jesus back 147 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: in the day. Nah, we didn't have a real conversation, 148 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: but we've seen each other and we uh, you know 149 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: sometimes just you know, a handshake is worth a thousand words. 150 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: You know, we shook each other hand. He was with 151 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: his wife, I was with my girl, and we just 152 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: kept it pushing. We was in the airport. But I mean, 153 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: the conversation can't be had, But I don't even think 154 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: if we need to then. But yeah, yeah, I don't 155 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: have none against none of that, you know what I mean? 156 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: Like that, that situation definitely made me strong and made 157 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: me a better artist. So you know, I pay homage 158 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: to do even when we wasn't when I wasn't fuck 159 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: with him, I'll still bumping trap a bag like I wouldn't, 160 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, I said, I'll still listen to the music. 161 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: So it made you a boss, Yeah, definitely. But but 162 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: I had to, you know, I had to level up man, 163 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: you know, he said. I remember one time I had 164 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: a conversation with him in an interview and he said 165 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: that it just really you were upset because things didn't 166 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: work out for you as an artist with him. Correct. Correct, like, 167 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: like I said, it was just a bad you know, 168 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: business disagreement, you know, but I didn't um. I took 169 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: it too far and made it personal. And that's what 170 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: and that's why I messed up at you know what 171 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying.

You you ain't a gangs unless 174 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 1: you can keep your composure. And in that situation, I 175 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: ain't keep my composure and I let it, you know, 176 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: I let my emotions spill all over the place. And 177 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: I shouldn't have did that. What is the title Soul 178 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: sold separately me? Man?

Now, you reference your girlfriend. 648 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: You reference your girlfriend a couple of times. Um, so 649 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: you also said that you had to cut off your 650 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: whole rosters. How did you manage to settle down into 651 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: a relationship. Uh, you know, you just gotta just be 652 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: with somebody that's compatible with you. Man, you know what 653 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: I mean that y'all both like the same things. You know, 654 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: relationship ain't really number like a friendship that you you know, 655 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: you're just nurturing and said, You're just it's just a 656 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: friend you having sex with. How do you know she 657 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: was the one to cut off all those other relationships 658 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 1: like you said, how you know she was doing? Uh? 659 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: You know, you just it's it's it's about being comfortable, man, 660 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm not. You know, 661 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: there's just certain people I can't trust and talk to 662 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: about certain things, you know what I mean? And I 663 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: just you know, at the end of the day, you 664 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: just need somebody to be comfortable with. Man, How didn't 665 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: bother you when it was bringing up her I guess 666 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a past, I don't know 667 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: what she would No, No, I don't believe in monogamy 668 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: or nothing like that. So I don't believe in like 669 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: like owning people or like people like sexual pass or 670 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 1: anything like that, or what they do they ain't gonna 671 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: do with me. But you don't believe in monogamy. So 672 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: you can. So you have a girlfriend, but that means 673 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: you still see other people. I mean, we can see 674 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 1: what we want to see. We could do all that together. Okay, 675 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: got it open on both ends. You can share. Hey, 676 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: I don't believe in you know, owning nobody, telling nobody. 677 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: That's just my person who believe that. That may not 678 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: work for everybody, but that's just me. I don't really 679 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't really get into that. You can't really you 680 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: can't make me mad by telling me, oh man, that 681 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: girl shook so what yours did too? She just trying 682 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: didn't do it over? So how long have you felt 683 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: like that? Because I feel like you're a relationship kind 684 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: of guy. No, I know I'm not, and you know 685 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm not. You know, I like a lot of girls. 686 00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: I just I feel like that my whole life. I 687 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: was just probably scared to talk about it. Yeah, I 688 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: was siding, you know, so I didn't. You know that 689 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: probably messed up my first initial couple relationships because I 690 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: was just I was doing it, but I wasn't, you know, 691 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: but on a but I was hiding the fact that 692 00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: I was doing it. I was just like, yeah, I 693 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: love you. I want to because I thought that I 694 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 1: was doing what I you know, what I was supposed 695 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: to do when I had my first child. I got 696 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: engaged because yeah, we remember that because we all know her, 697 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: remember we were on the TV show because but I 698 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 1: didn't really want to get engaged honestly. So it was 699 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: the right thing too. I thought it was the right 700 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: thing to do because I was having my first child, 701 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: and I was like, man, I got to be in 702 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: a house with my child. That's honorable. But you know 703 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: it ain't that, don't you know that's not always the 704 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: right thing for you. Just because you had kids with 705 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: a person. I don't mean you need to be living 706 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: with them or being with you know what I'm saying. 707 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: And it ain't a slight to her, you know what 708 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's just that, you know, we weren't supposed 709 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: to fit. You know, I love her, you know what 710 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying. I love all all the mothers on my children. 711 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I don't you know, we 712 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: had disagreements and things of that nature. But at the 713 00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: end of the day, man, the goal is for the 714 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: child to get where they need to be. So you know, 715 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: I don't you know, um, I'll be as acide. You know, 716 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: I'll do anything for the mothers of my children. Anything 717 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: they're asking me, you know what I'm saying. So we 718 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: can have gripes and stuff about my personal life and 719 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,239 Speaker 1: the way I live my life, but that's really all 720 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: all it is. It's not a knock on me as 721 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: a father because you know, my kids love me, So 722 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: you think everything every disagreement that we might have is 723 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: it got shit to do with my personal life ain't 724 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: gonna to do with the kids. When you got one woman, though, 725 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: don't you think things are a little bit more stable 726 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: for you? A man? Don't know that's for you like 727 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: all the girls. Baby, So that's something that you have 728 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: to Yeah, I think if you're honest and a woman 729 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: accepts that, and she's because sometimes women also try to 730 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: adapt to what they think you want. But if she's 731 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: okay with it and truly can accept that and y'all 732 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: are open, Yeah, I have to go to an age. 733 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: I gotta stop lying to myself and Lyne. You know 734 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: what I mean, I can't do that. That's I gotta 735 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 1: be honest. I gotta you know, I'm you know, I'm 736 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: at an age while you know, I'm gonna live a 737 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: certain way and I'm gonna half my way. And if 738 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: you're not, you know, part of that thing, you could, 739 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: you know, go have your way somewhere else. That's fine. 740 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: Problem now it's so so separately. Having this as your 741 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: first major label album, right, did you approach this differently 742 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: than you've approached all your other projects. No, I didn't 743 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 1: sound like No, I didn't. I did it. I did 744 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: the same thing. The only thing I did with you 745 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: know that, I really that And I don't even think 746 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: it was a reach, you know what I mean. When 747 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: I did the record with money Bag Yo, uh too much? Yeah, 748 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: too much?

Rond 754 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: and what I'm talking about, that's why He's like, yeah, 755 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: they hate that mentality he will still have. But Na, no, no, man, 756 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: they gotta do their job. You know what I'm saying. 757 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: I get it, you know what I'm saying.

But you know it's always been 790 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: pressure on me in my career, so it wasn't nothing. 791 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: It just made me rise to the occasion.

Honestly, 794 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: right now there's probably like CIA and crack Instagram and 795 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: Instagram and crack Instagram and yeah, that's real. Is that 796 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: what you want to get? Into right now. You won't 797 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,239 Speaker 1: get into that joint if you want. I want them 798 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: to explain that a little bit because what I was 799 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: listening to it, I was like, man, that makes a 800 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: lot of sense, because I really do feel like people 801 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: don't understand the impact that Instagram and social media period 802 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: is gonna have on us right in the future. That 803 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 1: shit is ruining us. Yeah it is. And I said that, 804 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because you know, I didn't 805 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 1: necessarily mean Instagram.
