Where is short neck drafts? 0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:15.440 Mike Checker. We're gonna go on good faith. Now we're good. 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:18.159 I call it. I can check who say check your 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:23.280 Mike check check one too, Yeah that's good. Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:27.320 pizza check check cheese steak, step on that pizza. My 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.760 little Caesars, no sailings, g l a double dollar signy 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:39.600 side glasses, motherfucking loke, my nigga, Peter Boss, and today 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:44.840 we're having a conversation where my nigga Sticks watch Sticks? 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.560 What's up? K E Side east Side and all that? Man? 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.400 You know what? So you just put out a project 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.840 right right, And we talked about this ship all the time, 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.560 just so me and Sticks because like me and this dude, 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.240 we have solved so many marketing crisis and issues together. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.399 Like personally, I won't even put everything we've done out 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.960 because he doesn't want to be viewed in that light. 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.040 He wants to keep his brand squeaky clean. And I'm 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.200 gonna keep it clean because it's important to keep some 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:19.440 of the brothers clean. Right. But Sticks is a branding 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.319 giant when it comes to other people ship, but with 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:28.920 his own ship, he just don't give a fuck. Why 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:33.160 is that sticks? I care? I care a lot, You 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.800 care a lot I do. How much do you care? 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.280 On the scale of one to ten, how much do 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.679 you care? So if people didn't know you had a 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:49.520 project coming out, would you push you back? Yes? No? No, 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.360 because you don't care. Because I look at music like 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:56.360 digital real estate now. Uh so you just want to 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.880 just have it even though nobody want to rent it today. 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:04.080 Maybe later. It's like digital real estate in western Oklahoma. 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.040 You think it's gonna be a great migration. No, it's 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.160 like digital real estate after the Watts riots and everything 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.200 burned down and nobody really looking at it. But when 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.200 gentrification start happening, then people are gonna be like, oh 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.800 who owned that? Oh sticks on all of this like 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:26.040 the Watkins. So what would be the gentrification and music 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.640 to make them come to you? Music always evolves to 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.360 the same It's like the same cycle and effect every 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.320 single time. That's one thing that I It goes from 0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.600 people like to listen to this type, and they like 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.840 to listen to this type, and they like to listen 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.320 to this type and it's a revolving door that goes around, around, around, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.160 So it will be a time frame when people want 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.040 to hear whatever I was saying at the time I 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.480 was saying it, and then they're gonna look up and 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.919 be when they sight seeing and be like, damn, this 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.280 little dope that sticks with something. It was all right? 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.960 So let me ask you a question, if your mute, 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:10.440 if this album was property in California right now, right now, 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:16.560 give me a true assessment of where this album would 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:22.400 be property at south Gate? Niggas know about south Gate? Bro, 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.760 do people know? But do white people know about south Gate? Peat? 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:28.880 You're asking the wrong guy, or you on half a 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:36.440 south Gate that was like a real the same. Oh yeah, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:43.080 we're gonna get pressed when I get dry Firestone Boulevard 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:48.680 both sides. Why are you in present when when you 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:54.360 was there Atlantic to I mean, do white people really 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:59.880 on that? Yes? Yeah, there are are there my relatation, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.240 no white people on Southgate? Have you let me ask 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.040 you a question where you from? Big Dog, Dave? Dave 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:13.000 from Jersey? Have you heard of Southgate? Dave? Okay, what's 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.160 your name? Dog? Should listen that Cypress held this? What's 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:20.120 his name? Pat? Right, pat, you ever heard of Southgate? 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:24.000 So maybe most people most people do not know about 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:28.120 south So maybe so maybe you're saying that, you're saying 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.800 people around you, like Glasses Malone for people like from 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:36.599 Watts or Pete from Orange County, they've heard her, they've 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:41.240 heard of your album. But maybe somebody somewhere else might 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.240 have not heard it. But if they come to l 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.600 A eventually, Oh, you're saying south Gate is gonna have 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:52.560 an economic boom eventually. Absolutely mm. So you're seeing the 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.240 gentrification is gonna happen in south Gate. It's already happened. 0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:02.560 What politician told you that sticks so sticks so sticks 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:06.520 because so Sticks is is not well, he's he would 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.440 be considered an activist. He's active as far as uh 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:20.000 Los Angeles and California politics. Go um. Every time I 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.960 talked to Sticks because he has the funniest conversation with 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.359 the weirdest people, Like he tried to call me on 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.680 three way with the main sheriff to dude who was 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.200 like the chief of police or something like, I'm so 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.680 glad I missed that phone call because it was like 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:38.600 you didn't have an attorney present, so you don't want 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.479 that phone call yeah. But also I would have not 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.320 held back. I've been like and and dude, I think, dude, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.599 get a bad rap. Now he's not telling the right story. Actually, 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.800 I wanted him to come to the press conference with me. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:54.440 That's what it was. Because the chief, the sheriff like 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:58.720 not the like, no chief like alex Villa, the waiver 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.039 like the guy. I was like, yo, I need you 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:06.479 to come down and address to the people because they're 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.280 tearing up ship. Exactly. You wouldnt killing Mike had to 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:13.200 sell out. Shout out to my man, Mike, don't look 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:17.800 because I'm joking. Goddamn, because I know Mike hurt that ship, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:22.479 like glad, don't call me because it's a joke. But 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.559 it was a time when all of the riots were happening, right, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:33.560 and the powers that be had to find some brothers 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:39.440 token that meant something to the community, token brothers who 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.960 meant something to the community to talk the mys of 0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:49.960 talk cocktail like the hand so that we heard your speech. 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.360 I didn't do that. I didn't tell nobody to go home, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.800 would you. I didn't tell nobody to stop looting. I 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.360 didn't tell nobody to stop riding. What did you tell him? 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:01.920 I told him it was they. It was the people 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.279 who came before who told us how to loop riot 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.640 and break ship. Tell ship, you know, Boston tea party 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.200 ship like that. That's what Alex. No, I said that 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.440 on national television. I did not hear you mentioned the 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:20.800 Boston We could play they they played right there. There 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:26.880 you go. So you're saying you incited the riot further 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:33.160 by referencing it. Maybe maybe? And I told him. I 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:34.960 told Alex before I went up there, I said, look, 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.400 I'll come up there and and and stand next to 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.280 you as long as I get to talk, and you 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.480 don't tell me what I can and can't say. He 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.600 was like, cool, I want you to be honest. Do 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.640 you think Alex was upset that people were looting outside 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:55.480 of the fact that's made his job part? Yeah, so 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.320 you think so? You think it was like a wider 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.840 version of him because as a Spanish, as a Spanish 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.440 of it, right, you would think sometimes he would aligned 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.480 with the struggle. Yeah, he was. More so he wasn't 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.280 happy about the police who did what they did to 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:14.560 George Floyd, But he also wasn't happy that people was 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.880 tearing it up, right, because he's like, yo, that's just 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:21.000 gonna come out of our pockets like that. See that 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.040 that's some bullshit, Alex. I'm gonna tell you why that's 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.560 some bullshit, Alex. That type of thinking, brother, is what's 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:30.400 wrong with McDonald's to this day. It's nothing worse going 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.800 than going to McDonald's cousin and you get a twenty 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.800 piece nuggets and the nick at the window is trying 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.839 to delegate how many sauces to give you? Bro, These 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.640 sauces don't come out. Donald's is just wrong period. But 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.600 but no, no, we're not finn slander mcdowns. We don't 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.560 slander McDonald's on no sea liers. That's not good point. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:53.640 That's focus right, So we're angling for a very lucrative sponsor. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.880 That's not true. No, that's not true. So who's the sellout? 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.640 That's not true. I'm not sponsored McDonald's. I just don't 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.880 slam the I am operating through back channels. I don't 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.800 slander the brand of McDonald's because I recognize greatness. McDonald's 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.800 is great. Yeah, I don't slander any that's one of 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.040 the best real estate companies I've ever seen in my life. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.920 I don't slander any great brands. Okay, I'm with that. 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:19.000 I'm gonna adopt that mantra slander any great McDonald's great 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:23.240 brands because I'm literally jealous. But that's not the point. 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.120 I appreciate the Alex tripping out of Alex tripping off 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.640 the money like the money's coming out. It don't come 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.000 out your money, Alex. The US dollar is a great brand. 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:37.880 That's not the point focus a Alex. The money doesn't 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:40.880 come out of Alex's pocket. It's like like the McDonald's 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.559 person that's in the drive through because whatever sauces you keep, 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.000 you don't get it ain't his money, bro, stop tripping. 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.920 But he does pay taxes though, right, But that don't check. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:56.559 It ain't gonna doubless taxes. Hang back, you on a pension. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:10:02.360 The fun that was some ship. That's real game. Yeah, 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.400 that's real game. Jesus. I don't want to know what 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.480 that meant. I mean it affects him somehow. It don't 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:12.040 affect him, No, it doesn't because his contracts guaranteed to 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:15.520 the state. That's why the states and such. He's the 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:20.800 fucking teller at McDonald's countless sauces. Oh you got twenties. No, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.400 he's the no. No, he's the manager of McDonald's. No, 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.800 the chief of police is not the manager of mc 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:33.680 McDonald and McDonald's is California. The chief of police is 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.760 not the manager. Then what is he? He's the nigger 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.520 working in the teller. He's the dude right there, he's 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.920 washing lettuce. No, he's not watching, he's not on fry. 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.880 He made assistant manager because right now the big Bucks 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.560 is rolling in right now. So but he's still the 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:55.280 motherfucker's assistant manager at least exactly right, assistant manager. And 0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:01.520 then who's the manager? Your boy, your boy, the slick dude, 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:07.160 Gavin Man. Oh, if one branch of McDonald's was the 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.520 state of California, not McDonald's, but one branch of one branch, 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:16.280 one franchise, Yeah, then the no, the franchise owner is Gavin. 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.480 So you're saying the most popular mayor would be the 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:26.719 McDonald's would be the manager. Um, yeah, I suppose would be. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.959 Would that be the mayor of Los Angeles or the 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:34.120 mayor of San Francisco. Mayor'tn't have no power, there's nothing. 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.439 They're like the janitor. That's the manager and McDonald's don't 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:43.320 have no power. Man, do that all they can do 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:46.440 is right to scatter. The mayor of Los Angeles is 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.800 the janitor of McDonald's, the guy who works at the 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:57.000 d M vs the janitor all right in the in 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:03.240 the distilled public sector hierarchy of this particular McDonald's. The 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:08.320 point I'm saying is Alex tripping about people looting and 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.720 riding and ship outside. If it making him have to 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:13.440 work extra hours that he get paid for, it doesn't right. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.040 He should not be counting how many sauces. He should 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.360 not be counting how many sauces that they give to 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:26.840 somebody for a tie. That's irresponsible for him, not too 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.040 because at some point it does affect the budget of 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:31.840 other things. Yeah, but I'm with that in for the front. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.760 But in real life, was he mad? For sure? That's 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:37.880 on the phone. So if he takes this ship home, bro, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.480 then that's a problem. That's what's wrong. What do you 0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.079 mean takes at home? Like if it's not like just 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.160 a front, like okay, you got a front for the public, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:48.280 you gotta be mad, as the chief of police need 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.960 to be like this is you're mad at home? Like 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.000 if you're mad like them, they just bro, you're tripping, bro. 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.520 Let the leave the barbecue and the spicy mustards at 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.760 the job. You know, I mean he was I talked 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.560 to him when he had the crib like, you know 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.400 what I mean. He ain't like tripping tripping, but he 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:08.760 I mean, he's like and see, his problem is he 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.920 needs to be more like Chick fil A. Explain not 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.880 open on Sundays. He should not work on Sundays. Not 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.760 just that, not that right, he needs that and this 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.320 is what's wrong with what's not wrong. This would make 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:27.280 Los Angeles Police Department better. The attitude could be better. 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.040 I do get the impression that it is their pleasure 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.080 to serve. They seem to be having a great time. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.960 I don't get that they all act like McDonald's workers. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.120 Every police around, even my homies as police, because act 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:43.319 like McDonald's workers. I gotta go to work. Fuck and 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.559 his motherfucker was just cussing me out. I'm giving this 0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.839 nick a ticket and this mother I'm like, bro, chill, bro. 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.160 That's how they act like McDonald's workers. So somebody Gathering 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.800 is fucking up. We need to get Gathering out of 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.640 here and get the person who run Chick fil A 0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:01.640 to become the governor of California. Because that type of 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:05.160 quality service is what's wrong. You gotta think somebody going 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.280 to Chick fil a Sticks would have sunked up attitude, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.920 yet they still get quality service. It's you ain't never 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.360 seen a fight at Chick fil A. I've seen the 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.720 fight to McDonald's, Burger KINGE, Jack in the Box, Rallies, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:21.360 never Chick fil A and Popeyes for sure. Popeyes, I 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.240 ain't never seen a fight of Chick fil A because 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.680 they disarm your attitude when you walk through the door. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.000 Chick fil A is the kind of place because where 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:30.800 they probably give you the on certain days that you 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.160 give your free limon ef you have free limond walking out, 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.800 that's kind of toxic. No, it's not to fake happiness. No, no, no, no, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.320 no no, it's not happiness. Right, it's quality of service. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:46.160 But you're pretending to be No, you're not. You're not. 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:49.600 As said that, you have to be this, yes, because 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:56.440 when you clock in at here, this is that Now, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.720 once you clock out, you know, you take off that 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.720 check fil a out field. You can fight everybody want 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.960 to in traffic, but once you clocked this motherfucker, punch 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:12.200 this clock up him up him. Yes, not McDonald's. They 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.720 run this motherfucker like McDonald's. Ever, everybody who works for 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.960 the government in the state of California, it is like 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.760 this gruntled as fuck. I mean you you ever, like, 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.240 how's how's the customer service experience at a d m 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.520 V after? Like I was at DMV the other day 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.000 for six hours. I was there for six hours to 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:37.320 pick up license plates. So you're saying everybody like McDonald's 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:42.479 all the whole government, the whole state, the actual ecosystem 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.840 that is the government of California. Like also all the jobs, 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:52.000 d m V, everything, police, everything is McDonald's and don't know, 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.040 fuck what don't you ever disrespect in and out Nickel 0:15:55.680 --> 0:16:00.520 and it out has quality service. They only give They 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.640 only offer you so many options a choice. Californy, take 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.960 what they give you. California got a thousand lines, is 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:13.240 long and it takes forever to California. Just do. California 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.640 got parphased, and everybody leaves in and out happy, Everyone 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:21.720 leaves dealing with California anything happy. Ever, I disagree. Never 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:26.800 when people move from California, they're gone. I disagree. I 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.040 know you do. California is the best place in the 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:33.400 United states. That's garbage. I've been to everything. I've been 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.120 literally forty eight states. How many have you lived in 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:40.960 full time? I've lived probably in one percent of them, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.760 at least a month at I've lived on the East 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.680 Coast for a month. I did. I lived in New York, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.640 Clinton Hill, stay somewhere. He went to New York. The 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.840 other piece of dogshit runs state. You picked the two 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.880 You pick numbers forty nine and fifty. You picked McDonald's. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.920 I spent a lot of time in Atlanta, McDonald's in 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.640 Taco bell I spent a lot of time in Atlanta, 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.359 a lot of time. Listen to why consistently not coming 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.200 back home and going back like I'm talking about along. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.760 Why do you think California has ran Well? I love California. 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:14.600 I mean I love California too, But why do you 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.320 think it's rand well? Rand, I don't think it's ran Well. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.320 I love McDonald's too, but that don't mean the actual 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:20.840 food is good for you. I don't. I don't think 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.560 it's rand Well at. All you like about California is 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:29.560 in spite of California's management of itself, like McDonald in 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.399 spite of not because of we love McDonald's because it 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.359 reminds us of our childhood. That's why I don't have 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.080 a job now the institution. I'm gonna do what I 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:43.359 want to do. That's that's not We're not talking about you, sticks. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.520 But don't tell you why I love California. You don't 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.600 love California because of the ecosystem. You love California because 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:51.960 it reminds you of everything that you love growing up. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:59.000 Straight up, just like we love McDonald's as much as 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.679 none of us going to McDon I love McDonald's and 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:07.359 I don't eat it. I love it. I am truly 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:11.320 disappointed when the McDonald's is shut down. So you've never 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:19.120 been upset a day in your life. I've never seen 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:23.080 I've never seen a McDonald down. I've seen Carl's Jr. 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.720 And Burger King close. I've seen Jack in the Box 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:31.359 boring up the windows. I've never seen McDonald Taco under. 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.840 So me and you, Pete, we agree that the issue 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.359 is they run California like McDonald's, and they need to 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.919 switch it and run it like they don't run California 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:46.160 like McDonald's because McDonald's, for it provides bad customer service, 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:51.160 but it's run well the biggest real estate company out 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.160 of all the franchim Donald's franchises don't close. McDonald's never stock, 0:18:55.240 --> 0:19:00.000 always returned, and it's a grand California has negative emigration 0:19:00.280 --> 0:19:06.080 right now. California is piping in like the only reason 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.119 that California's population goes up as birthrate people as far 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:11.720 as moving in and moving out people. More people move 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:13.920 out of California than move into it. But that don't 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:19.520 change that the problem. Yes, but that'll change that, don't 0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:23.760 change that. Don't change that California has has a higher 0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:27.720 population than ever before. For what I just said, I'm 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:32.520 not disagreining. How is that effect if California is like 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:39.920 the fifth wealthiest like body in the world. Because because 0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:44.840 you have four entities in two counties that pipe in 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.960 money from all across the universe into four addresses, that 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.960 skew all the numbers. That's that's fair, But there's a 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.520 reason not to mention. The other element is that the 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.760 agricultural industry here is geographically unique, has nothing to do 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.919 with California but the central valleys of a monster. So 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:08.520 there's that that's it just happens to be that that 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:13.080 dirt and that sun line right there. That's true. So 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:18.200 that's what makes California great, and deny it. That's McDonald's. 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.480 That's again. That's that's in spite of you know, when 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.080 you drive to the Bay up the five, you see 0:20:22.119 --> 0:20:27.720 nothing but protests about Sacramento politicians lining the freeway. That's McDonald's. 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:32.720 No one's nobody's complaining about McDonald's. Pick the funk are 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.199 y'all to my everybody's complaining about me. It's a whole customers, 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:41.080 No there is. It's a whole documentary on Netflix against McDonald's. 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:45.879 That's not a customer, I'm telling you. The issue is 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.840 they run this motherfucker like McDonald's, and if they changed 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.520 and ranted like fucking Chick fil a, it would be 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.240 a much better state. The customers that they number crunching penny, 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.080 pinch and nickel and dime the funk out of you. 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.359 That is absolutely true. That's McDonald's. It's true in that sense. 0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:07.560 So what is the shake? The Big Mac is Los Angeles, 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.320 and you don't even as a vegan, you don't even know. 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:14.119 That's what I'm saying. As as a dude from that, 0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:16.840 you don't even take in the culture. You're not a 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.600 gang member. No, you don't know. Ride you on street race. 0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:25.200 You probably barely go to the beach. That's true because 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.160 the people don't really go to the beach. I don't 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.720 like the beach and California stuck, all right, Pete, you 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:37.000 just you hate McDonald's. I don't know. I don't hate McDonald's. 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:41.560 The Pacific oceans like sixty one degrees eleven months a year. 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:47.240 That's sucking cold, even by white standards. It's cold. There's 0:21:47.280 --> 0:21:51.119 nothing cold to white people. You don't see us in 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.119 the water, now, do you? Kids? I do. Last time 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.520 I went to the beach, they were swimming like surfing 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:03.880 right now? Suits? How do I've always wanted to ask 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:08.000 this question? I feel like where there's a connection. Well, 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:12.080 well we're gonna try that connection right now. How do 0:22:12.160 --> 0:22:20.600 white people wear shorts in Milwaukee? Well? Like, for how 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:23.560 deep an answer do you want to this question? Because 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.960 I wear shorts in Milwaukee. Okay, here's a good I 0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:32.000 was on tour. It was I understand what December white 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:33.960 people are the ones who are shirtless and buffalo in 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.040 the playoffs. I get it. That's kind of wild. How 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:39.679 is it, like, have you ever wore shorts and like 0:22:40.800 --> 0:22:44.320 low temperatures. Yeah, the coldest. I had to be like 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:50.240 not heavily clothing, Like we had like evening practices all 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.800 the time in Oakland and the Hills. So during the 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:54.760 winter it would be like thirty eight thirty nine, and 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:58.360 you gotta wear like spikes shorts, T shirt because we're 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:02.040 getting timed. But are you old if you start to ring? 0:23:02.720 --> 0:23:07.240 If I like, if I get I don't like the cold, 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:10.359 but I can if I'm exposed to it. It's it 0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:12.240 takes a day or so, and I'm like whatever, But 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:16.520 I'm small, like bigger people like my cousins, bigger white people. 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:22.439 They don't give two ships. That's interesting. But somewhat simultaneously, 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.240 if they stand outside in July and you stand outside 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:30.680 in July, it's gonna be a different result. That's differ result, 0:23:30.920 --> 0:23:35.960 that's different understanding. But yeah, so back to that point, 0:23:36.680 --> 0:23:40.120 sticks like you all into politics and ship like that, right, 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:44.480 and I don't ever hear like you're a vegan. It 0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.000 might be three niggas and Watch that's vegans historically from 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.600 Watch that's vegans, Like there's no vegan. The other two 0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:56.160 are on doctor's orders. Yeah, because they had high blood pressure. Right, 0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:59.879 So I don't never see you get into the whole 0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:03.600 shout out to the defunctor. Jordan's the love of my life. 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:10.000 I don't never see you get into the food part 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:14.440 of politics where they control. And I think that would 0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:17.040 be like a calling for you, as a vegan growing 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:19.200 a farm right now. No no, no, that's a vegan. 0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:23.439 That is a political cause he's in the cost. No, 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:26.520 but why don't you get more into things that they 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:30.240 are able to sell in our communities? Like I tried 0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:32.120 to bring a Trader Joe's and the Whole Foods. Yeah, 0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:35.399 that wasn't gonna happen, but it was like, no, no, 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:38.679 they said. Know what they said. They said people in 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:42.399 the hood, well cannot afford Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. 0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:45.720 Was the literal statement told to me. You should have 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:50.480 just sent them to real estate property like dollar houses. 0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:55.119 The closest thing we got to something somewhat conscious as 0:24:55.119 --> 0:25:00.240 a franchise called every Table. Oh yeah, they make fresh 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.520 options like right there on the spot, and they get 0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.000 rid of it off their shelves every day, like they 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:07.600 just if they don't sell at all, they throw it 0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:10.639 away and make it fresh. It's like the closest and 0:25:10.640 --> 0:25:13.399 it's all organic. They got like maybe one or two 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.720 vegan options and that's what man. Imagine the sprouts and 0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:21.680 watts I'm trying. Yeah, they're not ain't enough white foster 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:26.639 um almost. But I'm saying as far as politics go, 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:29.840 as far as laws go, that seemed like a place 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:33.040 you would actually because you have a like, don't get 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:34.840 me wrong, you have knowledge when it comes to uh 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:39.320
