I was a hang gun and 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:20.239 they believe this might be in retaliation to her testimony. 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:22.800 Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.760 another episode of The Gangster Chronicles. This his episode forty one. 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.120 My name is Alex Alonto from Street Gangs dot Com 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.720 and I'm here with my co host James McDonald, and 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.320 we got a guess and we're just gonna go straight 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.960 into it. Man, we got Adam twenty two from No Jumper. 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.400 What's up? Man? What's happening to? Big fan of the show? 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:39.160 I don't know if you sawing. Nori told me about 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:43.080 it on the podcast. Man, everybody d M me that day, man, literally, 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:46.559 no joke, like fifty d m s within Like was 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.920 he serious? Did somebody tell him to say that? He 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.880 just really like that was really out of the middle 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.440 of nowhere because I didn't even know about it yet 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.600 at that point, So he was he was just amped 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:57.520 up telling me about the podcast he funk with. So 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.480 I took his recommendation. But I also I'm a person 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.920 who only finished watching The Wire, like a year ago 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.679 or less than a year ago. So when he said 0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.560 it's a podcast, it's like The Wire that that got 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.960 to me. I was like, I'm excited for The Wire 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.760 is probably one of the best television shows in the 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:15.960 history of television. I mean, you go back and binge 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.440 watching Man once you started. Once you're on episode one, 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:23.600 you ain't gonna stop. It's it was actually a cop 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:29.240 X game member and it's your classic gangsters and robbers 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.680 and police. But it's dope because it shows like from 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.480 the real perspective of the cops and the perspective of 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.840 like and the first episode the first season is like 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.880 the crack dealers in the hood, but then they get 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.720 into like the people working on the docks who are 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.760 dealing with corruption. In that sense, it deals with a 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.320 lot of different crime. It's not just like because I 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.520 remember I was telling Crocodi about it and he was like, man, 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.120 He's like, I grew up around all that bullshit. I 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.080 don't want to watch a show about that. And I 0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:53.280 was like, I feel you. But then I got the 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.720 second season, two, season three, I'm like, damn, he Actually 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:57.760 he might be missing out a little more than anythings, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.080 because it's not just like straight up like this is 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.360 is the Hood the whole time? You know, Yeah, well, 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.360 but just cinematically, it's great to watch it takes place 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.120 I believe Baltimore, right. So yeah, man, Um, I've been 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.800 messing with Nori for over ten years. He's been following 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.960 me on Street Gangs dot Com for years, so I 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.760 wasn't surprised. Nori pretty much likes everything I do. When 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.200 I see him, he quotes me on things that I've said, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:25.760 so he loves street ship. He was definitely a Street 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:27.960 Gangs fan. We gotta give a shout out to him 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.440 because I was shocked to hear that on on on 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.840 your your podcast and the way he was talking. We 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:38.600 only him. We owe him a flight he missed. He 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.239 missed the flight listening to Games the Chronicles. Oh yeah, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.480 yeah yeah. He told him, you don't know how to 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.520 download it to your phone and listen to it on 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:51.160 the plane, right, Yeah, he was getting the name. I 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:55.040 was like, Damn, Buntry is my brother. I'm mom James 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.960 Buntreal and Timmy Route. We're brothers. Reggie Wright and Alex 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.360 and Linzo, but he knew you. Yeah, so that's the 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.240 only name he didn't get wrong. Well, he did kind 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.480 of mess me up a little bit, But yeah, I 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.840 met Nori back in two thousand eight here in Los 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:13.240 Angeles and we've kept in touch over the years. But 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.000 I know how he felt when he said he missed 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.920 flights because you ever been in your car and you 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.520 get to your destination but your favorite song is still playing. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.080 She don't get out. You wait till that song is over, 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.480 and then you go to your destination. So I guess 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.040 he caught that on one of our great episodes of 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.720 The Gangster Chronicles. But what's up, Adam? I mean, you 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:32.880 got you got all all the great guests over there 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.680 on your show. You know you got. You had Nori 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.920 at forty Glock yesterday. Man, I had a lot of 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:44.720 from Colton, Yeah, Colton City Crib Yeah, c c C. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.560 I learned a lot about, you know, as somebody who 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.000 was just a straight rap fan until like the age 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.080 of thirty two, I never even had a rapper on 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.520 my phone. It's like it's just been a crazy fast 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.840 education to like meet so many of the people that 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.600 I grew up listening to and ship. You know that 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.080 he got into a shootout with the police before, and 0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.760 he told me all about that one, and they didn't 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.680 even press charges on him. I mean, you gotta listen 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:08.880 to the enemy, I guess if you want to hear 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.839 the story there. But he said that they didn't press 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.240 charges on him. Now, he actually his lawyer hired me, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:14.760 wants to help him with his case because I do 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.240 consulting on gang cases. So that's how I met forty o'clock. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.280 He had a case out in Colton. They needed an expertise, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.400 my expertise, and I came in and I learned all 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.640 about him. I think that was in ninety six. He 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.280 literally got into a shootout with the police. So how 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.560 did he beat it? I don't remember the specifics of 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.160 that case. I mean that ninety six how many years ago? 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.800 Was at twenty four years ago? You seem like he 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.279 still didn't really understand a hundred percent. But basically, the 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:41.320 cops shot him and then and then took off from 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.080 the scene of the crime and like left him and 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.080 they ended up catching up with him later and he 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.880 just got shot in the legs. So he was all right, 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.919 this is what he told me yesterday. But like he 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.240 was just saying that. Like they ended up not pressing charges, 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.479 probably because the cops behavior was so inexplicable. Or did 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.520 he looked back then he shoot back at the cops 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.200 or is it just the cops shooting him? I think 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:00.720 the cops showed up when he was already in the 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.680 middle of a gang shootout. But there was like He's 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.479 like this neighborhood had shootouts like every day, over and over, 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.200 so I don't Yeah. I also had that interview go though. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.039 That was dope. You know, it's like just to be 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.599 able to you know, actually I got to give Glad 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.800 the tip of the hat because to a certain extent, 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:22.080 like these old stories that we never wouldn't necessarily thought 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.479 would be so valuable from a you know, viral level 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.279 or whatever. It's like, you know, you you are under 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.600 percent of beneficiary of that where it's like a lot 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.120 of the stories that you might not even realized would 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.719 be so huge on YouTube and ship. You realize that 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.800 these little stories that just give you a little bit 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.960 of detail about death row or pock or whatever, it 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.160 is like gold to a lot of peers out there. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.600 Myself ain't the only one doing it, right. I feel 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.400 like he through being so shameless kind of like helped 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.040 usher that into a on YouTube to a certain extent, 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.400 because he's not scared to just ask the craziest ship. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.960 You know, what do you mean by that shameless part? Uh? 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.000 You know it's like to a certain extent, I feel 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.479 glad sometimes he runs the risk like pissing off his 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.279 guests by going so hard with the titles and ship 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.680 like by just being so or just having people and 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.800 you know, he has a certain reputation because he's will 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.120 have people in and ask him like about all the 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.800 ship that to a certain percentage of people just don't 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.800 want to talk about and stuff like I always think 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.760 about that because if you have somebody on you could 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.440 you could go straight for the gut, you know, straight 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.720 for the story that is the craziest fucking story that's 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:26.880 gonna get a million views, or you know, it's all 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.839 about your interviewing style. Sometimes I feel like I have 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:30.880 a hard time just going straight forward that because I 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.160 want people to feel comfortable, and I end up and 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:34.800 just some of those a lot of questions written down 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.839 that I don't even end up wanting to ask because 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.680 I guess had X rated on well that's why you 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.840 you like, I just did you when you come in 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:45.160 here and I asked everybody you tell you what do 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.440 you not want to talk about? So we don't have 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.279 to cross that line. But if I ask you a question, 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.520 then the doors is open for it. Then that's what 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:54.920 you're here for. You know what I'm saying, Like when 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.240 I can went on, Lad, I'm here to answer your questions. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:02.160 So I'm a grown ass man. I can tell you no, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.800 I don't want to talk about that. You know, let's 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:06.599 say that for something else. You know what I'm saying, 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.040 because everybody knows some things are to be I mean, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.560 you could say some ship, but some things ain't supposed 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.440 to be talked about. You sorry to cut you up, 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.480 but you might have talked about it, Lad, but now 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:19.200 you don't want some other motherfucker asking you about it. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.600 You like, I just did an interview telling this crazy story. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.040 It's kind of rude for you to ask me to 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.640 just reiterate the same exact story. You know you're gonna 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.600 be live. You know this story is gonna get out. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.960 That's what you're going on, black Folk, and you know 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.240 he's gonna put it on YouTube so you can avoid 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.680 asking anything, I don't have to asker that. I'm here 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.280 to do an interview with you. So if Blad said 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.920 I heard you killed your mother, I mean, just just 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.440 the way a ship just uh you killed your mother, 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.240 I don't have to answer that, but that motherfuck he 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.000 answered it. You can't be mad at mad at Blad 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.280 but for accident, and I askewed it. Where is he 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.600 at that? When people get on this case for that ship, 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.920 I don't think they realized that if you were to say, hey, like, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:05.680 don't I want to talk about that? Or if it's 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:07.400 especially if it's related to a case. That's the whole 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.520 reason I can talk about everything. I don't axatly. When 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.520 he came on against the Chronicles, I asked him the 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:15.160 same thing before we started taping. Is it anything that 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.200 you don't want to talk about? And I think that's 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.400 only fair if you say no, guys, let me talk 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.880 about whatever you want. In his case, I don't want 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:24.600 to talk about Woo and I want to talk about 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.880 so we didn't bring that up. So get your pad 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.880 and cross those two outs. But everything, you know what 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.800 I'm saying, like asking you and you said you don't 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:38.360 give a ship, So I got some questions, well before 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.040 you ask your first question. I was just gonna say, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.800 I think in the hip hop world, Wendy Williams was 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.320 really the first person to really ask those hard questions, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.800 those cutthroat questions, and a lot of people started to 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.240 dislike her, you know, because I'm not going on Wendy 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.040 Williams and Cala Main was born from her, and you 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.400 know he has that rap as well. But then then 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.560 Wendy Williams transitioned to talk show host and went in 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.520 to tell division and she was doing the radio thing 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.680 before podcasts was even hot. So you know, I think 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.439 that that style of interviewing and questioning in the hip 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.400 hop world. I just think going back to her to 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.120 run into the right person as my ship. You asked 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.520 me something I don't want to talk about it, I ain't. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.480 I don't want to talk about that. Man, I don't 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.560 care how you interview gonna be. You ain't getting paid 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.840 for these interviews, so why not. But sometimes you'll tell 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.800 the interviewer I don't want to talk about this. I 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.679 mean yeah, and they still ask, Like Barbara Walters was 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.800 known for that. I don't know if you ever I've 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:40.360 seen uh, Mike tyson go up on somebody for it. Yeah, 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.080 I'm just like, yes, you ain't ship. But that's how 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.439 you gotta be. I already told you I'm not answering that. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.000 Why would you ask me that here? So that's the 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.440 That's the thing. A lot of us, like me and you, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.000 I feel like we're probably the same way in the 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.000 sense that like, you can ask me about the messiest 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:56.840 bullshit that ever having in my life and I don't. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:58.680 I don't mind. But a lot of people are trying 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.600 to present a carefully gheraded image of who they are 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:03.760 to the public, so they don't want to talk about 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.640 some messy situation. They're going, that's cool, But at the 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.480 end of the day, how are you gonna get past 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.440 that ship unless you're willing to talk openly about it. Well, 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.960 don't you find it ironic that Lad actually told us 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.040 there's a couple of things that's off the table, even 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.760 though you just said he's more cutthroat about it. But 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:23.199 there's some things he didn't want to talk about. But yeah, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.760 but he does that to other people, but he don't 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.840 want it done to him. But other people don't say, no, 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.400 I don't want to talk about that. I don't want 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.600 to talk about this. Everybody on the platform should ask 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:34.560 that person they're interviewing, do you mind if we talked 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:36.320 about this? But when I went and did Glad, there 0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:37.640 was something that I said, you know, I don't want 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.760 to talk about this very specific thing, and he asked 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.560 me about that. To his credit, you know, doing an 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.800 interview is like having sex. You into what you're into. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.640 It's just both parties have to be involved, that have 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.480 to be have to be on the same page. You know. Alright, James, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:55.319 what are you gonna get into him? I forgot, but yeah, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:11:00.280 I wanted my first question and uh, last year, you're 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:04.160 the robbery, right Uh. I was looking at this video 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.640 and it was it was crazy. And when I first 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.440 thought my first thought about you being robbed, I thought 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.880 this was gonna be a black dude, you know, just 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.679 over you like bam. Right, this this guy that robbed Jews. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.360 I mean when he asks for he said, keep me 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.160 all your mother money or some ship like that. He said, 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.719 it all crazy and like, you know, before I even 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.640 knew what was going on, my friends beat the ship 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.079 out of him and kicked his head and stuff. I 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.360 believe that if you were to like describe his type 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.400 that it would have been just like basically a crazy ass, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:41.080 like lunatic while at school, shooter type kid. Like, it 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.280 became very clear to me, this was not like a gangster, 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.760 this is not a street dude. When did you realize that, dude, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.520 I'm I mean, once he realized the gun was fake, 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:53.720 Once he realized like, because you know my dudes, looked 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.880 through his phone and realized that he didn't even have 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.080 any text for like weeks at a time, and Ship, 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:00.320 I started to like paint the picture of us. I 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.480 went through my d m s through to his Instagram 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.960 account and saw that he had DM me dozens of 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:07.599 times and I never responded. I started to paint the 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.120 picture for me of like, oh, this is a kid 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.239 who's maybe really depressed and stressed out and like suicidal 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.720 type ship, And he knows that I'm doing interviews and 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.080 that he's thinking maybe maybe I don't know, maybe he 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:19.880 was on drugs. Maybe he thought that he would be 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.720 able to get some kind of like cloud like people 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.640 would respect him or like him because he did this. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:28.080 I don't really know, but I definitely wanted a tough guy. Wow, 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.880 well he had enough balls coming in and try to 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:32.720 rob you. You did with a fake gun. I don't 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:34.360 know what he thought was gonna happen, but you think 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.440 he thought he was gonna just keep us all hostage 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.079 in there? Well? Where did this happen at? Actual studio? Yeah, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.600 right on Melrose. Like, I used to do interviews at 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.640 the back of my bike shop, and now we have 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.520 a different space that we do interviews out of. But 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:46.920 this was just in the back of the shop, so 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.720 there's only one door really to like enter an exit. 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.680 And my guy had gone out to get the Uber 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.800 eats and I came back in and right before you 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:56.120 locked the door, this dude just slips in. He had 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.520 been like lurking in the back, you know. And I 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.040 got a mad question for you once your dude knocked 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.680 him out. Why you didn't stump the ship out that cat? 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.000 I never even hit him because my guy, That's what 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:09.599 I'm saying. When I stopped them out, I don't know. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.600 I wasn't mad, and I wasn't like, I mean, I 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.640 was freaked out. I was confused. I think the first 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.440 thing I said into the microphone because I'm on stream 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:17.720 so you can see that, I think the first thing 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.720 I said the microphone was why didn't he shoot me? 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.240 You know, because it's like if he had a mission 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:23.520 that he came in there to do. I thought he 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:26.920 was gonna actually carry it out, but apparently it was 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.400 all for show. I don't know if he could have 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.320 possibly been in a clear state of mind and thought 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.240 that he was about to have five people held at 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.960 gun point? Was the first time and the good don't 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.880 you like that? Yeah? Yeah, so I know you was like, 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.760 oh what the everybody gave me someone schip? Is that giggled? 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.680 I was like yeah, and I'm saying, Okay, he's scared. 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.480 You're nervous because you're looking at it and at that 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.199 point you don't know it was a fake gun. And 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.840 I'm going like this like trying to create room between 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:58.720 which it wasn't working. It wasn't working if he didn't pop, 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.720 I'm trying to get hit in the hands. Yeah, so 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.880 the head whatever it happened to the guy. Um, I 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.560 don't know, because like they actually called me and had 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.520 me go to court because you know that it's it's 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:13.400 not like I have to press charges. They just have 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.680 their own case against him or whatever. And I actually 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.840 got up at six in the morning went sat in 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.160 court with this guy because he was there too, for 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.040 like five hours, and then they ended up just dismissed. 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.240 Not dismissing the case, but they basically said like, oh, 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.960 they're not gonna do it today. You don't have anything 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:28.400 to do, and you don't have to come back the 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:30.160 next time he has a court date. So I really 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.240 have no idea what's gonna happen to him. By the way, 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.280 his name was David Tran. He was four years old, 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.960 and he was charged with second degree robbery because they 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.120 found the gun was fake. I guess how did that work? 0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:46.240 Got like, um, first degree just coming in there with 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.200 a pistol, Well, it'd be armed robbery. So this would 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:53.120 be a strong arm robbery if it's a fake gun. Um, 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.200 but he can still get prosecuted for it. But if 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.040 they don't have to witness there none of strong arm 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.720 attempting robbery. Um, Yeah, I don't know how that's gonna work. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:05.440 Without you wouldn't call that attempted murder. People get because 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.680 his lawyer will say that that guy never had any 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.920 intention of killing because he came in with a fake gun. 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:16.160 It's definitely attempted robbery and strong arm attempted robbery if 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.080 it's a fake gun, but there may be some other 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.800 fake gun charges that I'm gonna aware of. I don't know. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.800 They're not keeping me up to date on maybe well, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.840 if they've just kind of told you don't come back anymore, 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:28.400 they're probably not even gonna really pursue that guy then, right, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.200 It's so weird too, because like the only reason I 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.040 felt it was necessary to keep going is Number one, 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.360 I know other YouTube type famous people that have had 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.160 all kinds of weird ass s. Soccers go to their 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.680 house and just show up ten times, and I've had 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.000 dudes tell me that they didn't press charges the first time, 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.320 or they didn't follow up with the court dates or whatever, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.080 and the dudes kept coming back. So that kind of 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.080 freaks me out. And then also it's like I had 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.520 so many people that thought that ship was fake, including 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:52.080 like the cops called me at one point and the 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:55.520 cop goes, are you familiar with Jesse Smollett's case, And 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.960 I'm just like yes, I'm like yes I am, but no, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.800 this is not that He's basically warning me, like, if 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.640 you're trying to trick us, you're gonna get a lot 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:05.400 of trouble. I'm not you know, why would I lie 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:07.240 about Oh they were trying to say you were with 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.400 this guy? Yeah, I'm like, why would I be in 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.560 cahoots with him? And then like he probably got like 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.320 a terrible head injury from getting his fucking dome kicked in. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.560 You know, well if if they thought it was fake. 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.440 But I'm sure that general, that video must have got 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.240 at least a million views. Huh. Yeah, And I'm on 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.640 all kinds of weird news to shows, people having me 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.760 on their podcasts, all kinds of ship. But I mean, 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:28.320 ultimately it actually was kind of weird because I didn't 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.720 really have to deal with any negative side effects. Like 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:35.920 I didn't get hurt. I didn't you know, dreams like 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.240 Funk could have got killed freaking outsd right, you know 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.000 once did you just like like sitting there and just like, man, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:44.800 I could have just if this was real, I could 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.520 have been killed. I'll say this though, is that I 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.440 saw a kid hit his head on a skateboard the 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.120 other day and he was knocked out for twenty minutes, 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:52.440 and then the ambulance came and took him and he 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.600 was still knocked out. That has me way more fucked 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.640 up than this guy putting a gun in my face, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:58.760 because I feel like I saw a kid died the 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.600 other day and his dad has been him and me 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:02.680 back and saying that he ain't he might be, he's 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:04.720 gonna be all right whatever, But like, I don't know, 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.840 it didn't really ever impact the way I was moving 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.119 around that much. You know. It's it doesn't feel like, 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.720 oh I got these tough as gangsters that are looking 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.720 for me or whatever. It was just like, oh damn, 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:18.840 this is one psycho kid, you know. All right, Well, 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:21.000 I wanted to talk a little bit about your partnership 0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:24.040 with Dame Dash and any updates on that. How's that going? 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.240 You and him, I guess agreed to do a podcast together? Yeah, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.040 we were doing We did a few different podcasts. I 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.120 think we did my initial interview with him and then 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:34.919 three additional interviews. I don't know. I mean, Dame is 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.440 an interesting guy, but at the end of the day, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.840 is I think I felt like I really wasn't making 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.600 any sort of headway and figuring him out or getting 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:47.359 closer to having a real rapport with him. So I 0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:49.600 don't know, Like myself, on a personal level, I've been 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.119 kind of falling back on doing as many interviews, and 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.280
