<v Speaker 2>y'all's up.

<v Speaker 2>That shake the room.

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Baby checking in behind the scenes of the grind, which

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>is where we get on in behind scenes of just

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the day to day's happening was not

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>happening all of the things, y'all. Today was such a

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>day at work. I'm feeling so unsure of myself. Oh,

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>I just had to get that out. I recorded a

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>video coming here and this, you know what's so crazy.

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 2>It's like.

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>It's not sure I'm as sure of my capabilities. I

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>think I'm trying to figure out like when missteps happened,

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Like what the root causes, Like what is it?

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>What's happening within my mind and in my brain and

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>are making me feel like I'm not owning my space

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.759
<v Speaker 1>to what it I should be. I think we talked

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about that, you know before a few

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>days ago when we checked it behind the scenes of

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the ground, and that's just been like a constant thing

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>for me this week and a little bit of last

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.680
<v Speaker 1>week as well too. I'd be so honest with y'all.

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I get on here and just like treat y'all like

0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.039
<v Speaker 1>y'all are like my diary or something. So low riders

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>don't ever say I don't give y'all nothing, because I'd

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>be giving y'all all the inside scoop. But yeah, I

0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's just I don't know, there's just been a

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there is an added pressure. Not really though,

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:42.319
<v Speaker 1>but I guess so ish. I think that's a self

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>proclamation though, Like I think when things start to feel

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>like they're at a pressure, they only are if you

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>treat life or whatever the situation is like, there is

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 1>added pressure. So I don't even want to give into

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 1>that because that's not what I'm feeling. Maybe it's a

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not overwhelming.

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, y'all. Can you can't describe it, can't

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 2>explain it. But I'm just off my pivot a little bit.

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm aware though, as you guys see, because I'm telling

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys so trying to just hone in on what

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>it is. One of the things that I did this

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>week that I prioritize this week was organization. And I

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>think organization didn't really matter as much when I was

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 1>coming from a place where like, I don't know, it.

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Just not even that organization.

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>It's not that it didn't matter, Organization just wasn't It's

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:37.359
<v Speaker 1>never been a priority for me. Like I've always thought

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>it's cool. I'm good because I can operate in chaos.

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>And I do think now that I am caring more

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>about when I'm putting out into the world, how I'm

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>putting it out with the conversations I'm having are because

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think when your name is on the line,

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>there's just a lot more on the line.

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Organization is just like so much. It means so much to.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Me because the more organized I am, I think, the

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 1>better I'm able to understand the what, the why, and

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the relevancy behind anything I'm talking about. But also like

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>even if I'm on an island strained it by myself,

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and I don't mean physically, I mean like just mentally, right, Like,

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>if I'm on this island all alone and I have

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to debate my way out of anything, I always think

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.639
<v Speaker 1>about this, Like if I'm in a courtroom and I'm

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the only person that believes that this person is innocent

0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>in this courtroom, the only thing that is going to

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>save me is factual information, but not just that, the

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 1>organization of it and how it's presented. So I think

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>that's one of the things behind the scenes of the

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>grind that like I'm really trying to sharpen. I've never

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>really been a person that has been the most organized.

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I think most leaders that are creators have a central

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>organization because you're delegating and stuff like that. But I

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>think there with more responsibility just comes heavy as the

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>head that words the crown. Like the more responsible, the

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>more responsibility requires a different level of you. So I

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know if maybe like that's what's happening, Like I'm

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>being pushed to like this next level of like okay, delegate, Okay,

0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>open your mouth when things are not right, Okay the girl,

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Like I think that's where I'm being pushed to. So

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>today has been like a tug of war for me,

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>just like mentally, because it's a battle when.

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Like you naturally like eat, sleep.

0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>And breathe certain things and then things are not a

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred things are not moving out one hundred percent as

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>if you do that, like, and that's what like freaks

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>me out about this, this whole you know, feeling of.

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Like unsure of myself.

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I've never been a person that's ever been unsure about

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>myself and unsure about myself in anything. So so it's

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>two things. It's the fact that I'm not in a

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>new space, Like it's not like I'm walking into a

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>new career path and I'm having to figure out do

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I like it here? Why am I even here? How

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 1>does my you know, skill set, my capability even progress

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>me in the space that I am in? That is

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 1>not it, because this is what I've been doing. I've

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.480
<v Speaker 1>in a new space physically, but this is the lane

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.919
<v Speaker 1>of things that I've been doing for some time. So

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, what the heck, Like what's happening? Like why

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>is my ag game off?

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Like what is going on?

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 1>And then secondly, it's you know, feeling unsure about yourself

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is just a very it's a very hard concept to

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 1>grassom you've never been through that, But I try to.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Like one of the things I told myself today was

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that I'm not giving that too much light, Like I'm

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit in the feeling of how I feel today,

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna talk about it. I'm gonna get it out,

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>and once I do that, you not getting much else

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>from me on that whatsoever, because I think it's I

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 1>feel like the feeling of being unsure lends to like

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the feeling of like faith. And for me, whenever I

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know what's about to happen in one of these

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 1>like nightmare spots in life where you can't control what's

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>going on, and like, you know, things just feel so

0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>heavy whatever. Not like workwise, but just like in life

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>in general, Like whenever I'm in like a very crazy,

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>weird space where like you really can't control much of anything.

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>The only thing that I control.

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Is the amount of faith that I have in God

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.120
<v Speaker 1>to like just allow me to do what I naturally

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>do in situations we talked the other day. If you

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.919
<v Speaker 1>missed that podcast episode, make sure you go back and

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>listen to it. But in situations I always am trusting

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.719
<v Speaker 1>God that I will figure it out, and I do

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in situations where I've learned that it is not my

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 1>job to figure things out. I can't solve everyone's issues.

0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.919
<v Speaker 1>I can't be you know, like I can't be the

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>crutch for everybody, like I just can't. I trust God,

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.760
<v Speaker 1>and I have faith in God to give me that

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 1>like intuition of like no, Lauren is you gotta say no, No, Lauren,

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 1>you gotta put your foot down. No Lauren is see something,

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>say something, you know what I mean. So my faith

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>is like unshaken. But I just need to apply that

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to all aspects of my life right now, Like and

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's it too, Like I haven't had a lot

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>of time to just kind of like sit down in

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the spirit, like just really sit down have some conversations

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.400
<v Speaker 1>with God. I don't even think I need to have

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>conversations with God. I think I need to be quiet

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and listen. So I think that's it. I think that,

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, that is kind of you know, this uncertainty

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and this feeling that I've been feeling. It's a very

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.720
<v Speaker 1>new feeling for me. I've never experienced this type of

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>feeling in my life. But I'm also although I'm not

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>in a new career field, I'm physically in a new

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 1>space and I'm physically at a different point in my life,

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>in different level of my life. So you know, maybe, hey,

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>that's that's maybe that is what it is. Like maybe

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it's it's you know, it's not a it's not a

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>new like I didn't wake up and go decide to

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>become a freaking Dennist And I'm like, girl, what are

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you doing here? But things are different, Like, man, the

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>podcast will be one in March.

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I gotta start planning something for that.

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to just have like a party to celebrate,

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I don't mind doing that like on like you know,

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>but I want to do something that is like very

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>impactful to celebrate the first year of the podcast because

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel like this podcast like it's literally like my baby,

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Like it's grown physically, like in its appearance.

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 2>And its sound.

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 1>It's grown and the thoughts and the conversations that we

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>have here because I've gotten more comfortable just talking to

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys. But it's also just like really grown me

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:56.680
<v Speaker 1>just you know, being responsible for a podcast and a

0:08:56.720 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>show and working with a team of people. It makes

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you like, really, this is what I'm talking about on

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the other entity of my life, Like I thought I

0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 1>had it all figure out as far as like you know,

0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>how this whole thing of like life and being an

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>adult and grown up.

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 2>This works is grown up. This's a word. No, grown up,

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>this is not a word. But I thought I had

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 2>it all figured out.

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 1>And then you know, you enter new levels of your

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>life and it's like, no, that this new level requires

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a different version of you. You cannot use the old

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.040
<v Speaker 1>version of yourself, the old corners that you were cutting.

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:36.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can't do it. You just can't.

0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 1>So I really want to make sure that one year

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>is like, you know, a thing. But I say all

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>that to say within this year, within the podcast about

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to be one years old, I think about just all

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>of the things that we've been through here together on

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the podcast. That sounds weird because I'm sitting here talking

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.959
<v Speaker 1>to y'all and I can't see anybody. That still freaks

0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 1>me out, too, Like that still freaks me out that

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I can't see none of the low riders, but y'all

0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>can see and hear me. But I know y'all out

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 1>there though, because we be talking on Twitter, we'll be

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.679
<v Speaker 1>talking on Instagram, all that stuff.

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>When I se yall in person, we talk about the podcast.

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I just.

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>There's maybe it's a transition period and we've been through

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.559
<v Speaker 1>it together, so you guys know from the very beginning.

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But what I'm realizing as this podcast it's a year,

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and you know, this time has partaken. I think the

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>biggest thing is new levels require like new versions of yourself.

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's what I'm walking into right now.

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know.

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I was fighting that a little bit and just

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 1>thinking I can hindle everything and I got it, and

0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, you know, I'm brown girl grinding like I

0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>got it. No, not at all, So readjusting some things,

0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>just you know, personally, but also professionally in the way.

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 2>That I do, you know, things day to day.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the reoccurring lesson that I've been getting

0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.720
<v Speaker 1>over this last like five days. And maybe I just

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:01.800
<v Speaker 1>REALI that in talking it out, and that's why I

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.839
<v Speaker 1>be talking to y'all even though I can't see or

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>hear you guys.

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 2>You help me.

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, y'all, let's get on into the latest. Enough

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 1>about my problems that's getting to somebody else's. So NBA

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Young Boy sat down with Complex. He sat down with

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Roles. Now, I just want to say shout out

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>to Jordan Rolls over a Complex because NBA Young Boy is.

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Not an easy interview okay.

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>And I don't mean he's not an easy interview because

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>like he was rude, He just doesn't really say much.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 1>And the little bit that you do get out of him,

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that there is I mean with any interview.

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.960
<v Speaker 1>I think of interviews like playing spades. There is like

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>such a dance to the conversation between you and another person.

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>It's really your dance when you do it with multiple people.

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>So when it's like you and a team interviewing someone,

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 1>but when it's just you in that person, the dance

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>is a lot different. Because if I'm playing spades and

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a team member, my team member knows you

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:06.839
<v Speaker 1>know all right, follow suit, know what I'm cutting, You

0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, like you kind of know where

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to go. We watching the board, We know how to

0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 1>play together. But when you're interviewing somebody, y'all aren't prepping together.

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>So that person, you know, it's not like it's a

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>like a malicious battle in an interview whatsoever.

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:23.559
<v Speaker 2>And this interview didn't feel like that either. Jordan Roads

0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:25.559
<v Speaker 2>is an amazing job, but.

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:30.120
<v Speaker 1>That person's coming from a whole different place in mental space,

0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:33.000
<v Speaker 1>with a whole different objective than you are. So trying

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to figure out the best way to meet in the

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.600
<v Speaker 1>middle and have that conversation. Only a great to do it,

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and Jordan Rolls I've been watching him on Complex. I

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.800
<v Speaker 1>feel like Complex is doing a good job of building

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>him as talent Speedy Mormon, who, like you know, is

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.800
<v Speaker 1>the face of Complex and has been for a long time.

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Is I feel like I was telling a friend this.

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like Speedy is kind of like they're like,

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>he's out of here.

0:12:57.960 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>He's doing the bigger.

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Interviews, He's traveling for the interviews. You know, he has

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot going on, and the brand is smart to

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>keep branding him and building three sixty with Speedy in

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the way that they are. But they're also really smart

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 1>in getting a person like Jordan Rose who can be

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more readily available for all things, for

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>all talent, is you know in New York a bit

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>more it seems to Speedy. I don't know, it just

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.439
<v Speaker 1>seems like it because Speedy's all over doing his interviews.

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I'm sure because of the success of

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>three sixty with Speedy on Complex, Complex has gotten the

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.040
<v Speaker 1>influx of people wanted to host conversations because Speedy's conversations

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 1>are so great. Jordan Rolls is in that vein of things,

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 1>and I think Complex was so smart about the branding

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in the way that they chose their talent to lean into.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Because Jordan Rolls isn't three sixty, night and Day from Speedy.

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.680
<v Speaker 1>There are two very different people, two very different interview

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.760
<v Speaker 1>styles for sure. Another thing that I about what's smart

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>with Complex, Jordan Rose is a lot younger, so you know,

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I think the things that he's able to care about

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 1>or just a little bit different than you know, the

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 1>conversations that Speedy or have it and you need both,

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Like Speedy's still young.

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I think how old to Speedy.

0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 1>If you guys don't know who I'm talking about, I'm like,

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what rock you live under because here

0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:22.760
<v Speaker 1>at the Latest, like you got to know the people.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>But Speedy Mormon is a correspondent for Complex. He's been

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>there for a very very long time. And to be

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, I feel like Speedy has built Complex's

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>interview platform to become a space where artists like artists

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 1>and talent you gotta go through Complex Like that is

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a It's like how you got to side at the Directorce Club.

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 1>When you go to New York, you gotta talk to

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Complex when you're rolling something out, whether you're a music artist,

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, an actress, actor, whatever the case may be.

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Because Speedy's interviews have been they've done so well and

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>they pick up so well for talent. So now Complex

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 1>is developing, you know, this other talent.

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if Jordan.

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Rolls was on the platform prior to but if he was,

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they're positioning him a lot better now. If he wasn't,

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>don't even matter because he is killing it right now.

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to show them that love because I

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>watched their stuff a lot and it's really really good

0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to watch. But I also just know how important it

0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 1>is the big up the people in the seats that

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.120
<v Speaker 1>are doing the work, especially the people that are on

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>their grind and coming up because we all have days,

0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Like I told you guys, I was feeling today and

0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.760
<v Speaker 1>in these last like honestly, it's been since last week

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>where you're not always on you know, a hundred, you're

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>not always you know, averaging the best numbers from the court,

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but you're still doing a great job. So I want

0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 1>to make sure. I don't know if they ever will

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>hear this, But if so, I want to be the

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>one to tell you doing a great job. But getting

0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 1>into the interview, So NBA Young Boy sat down with

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Rose and oh my god, y'all like he barely talks. Okay,

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:54.120
<v Speaker 1>So I just want to give y'all an example of

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:55.360
<v Speaker 1>him barely talking.

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:57.880
<v Speaker 2>I want you guys to take a listen to to Jordan.

0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>Rolls asking NBA Young Boy about the massive tour, which

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>is the Make America Slimican Tour that NBA Young Boy

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>did very successful tour. We'll get into that, and the

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that Birdman was there, like every tour stop.

0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I Birdman talked a lot about the tour. When he

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:15.200
<v Speaker 2>was at verses, he.

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Just kept yelling and kept me yelling and kept me

0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>yelling about this tour. But this is a perfect example

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 1>of basically what the interaction for the most part was

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like in the interview. Let's take a listen.

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 3>Birdman was also on the tour, like basically every stop.

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:35.239
<v Speaker 3>What was his role on the road with you? She's chilling.

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Being unk, being unk.

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 3>You got like a favorite memory on the road with

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:49.000
<v Speaker 3>him every moment, every moment. Yeah, Yeah, that's somebody that's

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 3>been with you since you were about sixteen? What does

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 3>he mean to you?

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I think he should hake him. Didn't want to get

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>some fresh and you.

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 3>Want to take a look only if you promised that

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 3>we could come back me maybe A handshake of a

0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.920
<v Speaker 3>maybe is still a pretty solid handshake, would you agree.

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna hold you to it the maybe.

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:18.679
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think NBA Young Boy mean any harm. He

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 1>did say when they first came back in, like I'm

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>not the best with words, and I was like, that's ironic,

0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 1>NBA Young Boy not the best with words? Like your

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>music goes so crazy though, like how like okay, but

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, interview artist, an artist in an interview is

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 1>different than an artist in the studio making music in

0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a setting that is his own that he can own.

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 2>I get it. But they got into some things.

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:50.240
<v Speaker 1>So they talked about this whole Michael Jackson NBA Young

0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Boy comparison, because one of the things that gets thrown

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>on NBA Young Boy is that he is the Michael

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Jackson of his generation because of how crazy his fans

0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:03.200
<v Speaker 1>go for him, like his level of celebrity is insane.

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought his answer was actually very mature, like he

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 1>won't say too many words, but I thought these words

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:09.040
<v Speaker 1>made a lot of sense.

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.880
<v Speaker 2>A sick a listen, I don't know nothing about Michael Jackson.

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.439
<v Speaker 3>What yo, why be you got a song called Dirty

0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 3>Diana sampling Dirty Diana, But.

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand the star.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't, okay, power because you was we wasn't like

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 3>really alive at his peak when like women was like

0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:28.840
<v Speaker 3>passing out.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel like certain should be over exaggerated sometime, and

0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>you gotta think about it.

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.199
<v Speaker 2>They over exaggerate about me sometime. But how though, like

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:43.640
<v Speaker 2>how like that statement that you know Michael Jackson, that's

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:44.680
<v Speaker 2>like going too well?

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>First of all, NBA, young boy, very on point. I mean,

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it was like when Michael Jackson

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was alive.

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't. I mean, that's not true.

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.280
<v Speaker 1>I was alive and I was aware of things when

0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson was alive, but I was so young. I

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.520
<v Speaker 1>wasn't like the age I am now sitting in the

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 1>seat I'm sitting in now.

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:02.520
<v Speaker 2>When did Michael Jackson die? Let's look this up.

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so Michael Jackson died in two thousand and nine.

0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So on two thousand and nine, I was, I was

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 1>in high school. I graduated from high school in twenty ten.

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:17.200
<v Speaker 1>He died June twenty fifth, two thousand and nine. Right, So, yes,

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I was in high school. That problem, that was my

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I was my junior year of high school. So it's

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 1>like you, of course, you know Michael Jackson. You understand

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the celebrity of Michael Jackson, but I was. It wasn't

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>like I was like attending Michael Jackson concerts or like

0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>paying enough attention to like really have felt the celebrity

0:19:37.359 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of Michael Jackson.

0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 2>So I think an NBA young boy is younger than me.

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>NBA young boy, he has to be around Jordan Rose's

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:50.399
<v Speaker 1>age because Jordan Rose, Jordan Rose made a like a

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a comment about them being around the

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.159
<v Speaker 1>Saint MAT's. Yes, NBA young boy's twenty six years old. Okay,

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>so if.

0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm thirty four, NBA young boy, it's twenty six years old. Yeah.

0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:02.679
<v Speaker 1>He I'm telling y'all, I've I've got a chance to

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>like see it from the TV screen, and I don't

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:08.199
<v Speaker 1>even really fully understand the impact of Michael Jackson. Not

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.399
<v Speaker 1>that I don't understand it, but I just, you know,

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:12.200
<v Speaker 1>how like you have to see some things up close

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and personal to really.

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Like, oh shoot, I ain't get a chance to do that.

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.760
<v Speaker 2>So if I haven't gotten a chance to do that, NBA.

0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Young Boy, it's he wasn't even like yo, he's twenty

0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>six years old. I think a lot of people in

0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>his position could have used a question like that in

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a moment like that to lean into the hype, because

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:32.520
<v Speaker 1>he knew it was gonna go viral. I mean, it's

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:36.240
<v Speaker 1>NBA Young Boy, It's gonna go viral regardless. But he

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:38.480
<v Speaker 1>could use that to lean into the hype, but he didn't.

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.440
<v Speaker 1>He answered it in a way that was like smart.

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:46.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think that people talk about NBA Young Boy

0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>as if he's this like because I mean they're you know,

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 1>there's the cases and the charges and.

0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.040
<v Speaker 2>The baby mamas, and you know, the drugs and like

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of things that be going on over

0:20:58.320 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 2>there allegedly, right.

0:21:00.720 --> 0:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think people have conversations about NBA Young Boy

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.679
<v Speaker 1>as if he's like so unaware of what's happening outside

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>of his bubble. And I think sometimes he does lean

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.680
<v Speaker 1>into that, and we're gonna get into a moment where

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.120
<v Speaker 1>he did that during this interview, But he's very well

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>aware of culturally, his influence, his touch on his people

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.800
<v Speaker 1>and his fans, and just kind of where he sits

0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.200
<v Speaker 1>in the hierarchy of like the greats because people put

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 1>him literally next to Michael Jackson, which a lot of

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:31.359
<v Speaker 1>people take its to it. Now, let's okay, So I

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.000
<v Speaker 1>told you guys that there was a moment in this

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 1>complex interview with NBA Young Boy in Jordan Roles where

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:41.159
<v Speaker 1>NBA Young Boy plays very like, y'all don't know what

0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about. So Jordan Rose brings up the name

0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of the tour, masa make America slime again. Obviously it's

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to play on Trump's maga make America great again. Now,

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:56.560
<v Speaker 1>this NBA Young Boy Tour was a huge success. It

0:21:56.640 --> 0:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>sold over five hundred thousand tickets. It grows over seventy

0:21:59.720 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 1>five million dollars across across forty two to forty five

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.919
<v Speaker 1>sold out arena dates each day sold out, making it

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:11.520
<v Speaker 1>one of the highest grossing raptors within reports, indicating roughly

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:17.160
<v Speaker 1>around one point five million dollars per show. Okay, at

0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a time where people are having issues selling tickets and

0:22:19.800 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 1>getting people into seats, this man sold out forty two

0:22:22.760 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to forty five arenas. One point five million dollars a show.

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.760
<v Speaker 1>The music is streaming crazy, his numbers go crazy, and

0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:34.400
<v Speaker 1>in this interview he said he still owns his masters.

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:38.280
<v Speaker 1>He know a little something, but he acted like he

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't though. When it came to Trump, Let's take a listen.

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:44.479
<v Speaker 3>What is that message make America Slim Again? Like what

0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.679
<v Speaker 3>does that title mean to you? And then following them

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 3>with Trump applying follow whatever? Trump applying yeah or what?

0:22:54.200 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 3>And what way?

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Like in every way?

0:22:57.200 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, Trump pardoned, you got you off house arrest.

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:03.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about that. What you need.

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Did you ever speak to him about like, did you ever.

0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Have a right?

0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:19.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but the album's named Make America Slim Again. The

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.000
<v Speaker 3>tours named make America slam Again.

0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:26.680
<v Speaker 1>It was the name was like, it's just the voice whatever,

0:23:26.760 --> 0:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump applying that's it.

0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:35.280
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever met Trump?

0:23:37.320 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Cause you like you got me thinking right now? Why dude?

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Like okay, So this is obviously him playing a little stupid.

0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:50.919
<v Speaker 2>I can't confirm whether he's met Trump or not.

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I did reach out to the White House to see

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.040
<v Speaker 1>if that conversation had happened, because I don't know where

0:23:55.080 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>else I'll get it.

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna try and work it out another way as

0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:57.800
<v Speaker 2>well too.

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 1>But in twenty twenty four or NBA Young Boy was

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.680
<v Speaker 1>sentenced by a federal judge in Utah after he admitted

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to possessing weapons despite the fact that he was a

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>convicted felon.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:11.120
<v Speaker 2>So he reached this.

0:24:11.160 --> 0:24:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Agreement that he would get that basically took care for

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>state charges. So they resolved to state charges against them,

0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and then it settled two sets of federal charges against them,

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:23.760
<v Speaker 1>one that carried a twenty three month sentence and then

0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:27.239
<v Speaker 1>the other ordered five years of probation in a two

0:24:27.359 --> 0:24:30.919
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand dollars fine. And he was given a pardon

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 1>on these charges, on these gun charges and was released

0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 1>and able to go home. The pardon even made it

0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:40.679
<v Speaker 1>where his probation terms including like drug testing and all

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of that. We're out of here now. At the time,

0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>he released a statement thinking Trump. He says, I want

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 1>to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:50.480
<v Speaker 1>giving me the opportunity to keep building as a man,

0:24:50.520 --> 0:24:52.720
<v Speaker 1>as a father, and as an artist. But there's been

0:24:52.800 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>no confirmation of like the meeting or anything like that

0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:56.959
<v Speaker 1>since this time.

0:24:58.080 --> 0:24:58.600
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

0:24:59.640 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>President Trump gave NBA Young Boy another shot at not

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>sitting behind bars, career, family, all the things right, all

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.159
<v Speaker 1>the things I noticed, all the things I get it.

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 1>So I'm not knocking him for his answer. Let me

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 1>back that up. I'm not knocking him for acknowledging well

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.720
<v Speaker 1>he didn't even acknowledge it. I'm not knocking him for

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously being grateful for Trump for doing that, which is,

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:30.880
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion whatever right. Politically, I don't know him.

0:25:30.960 --> 0:25:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know enough. We haven't heard enough, you know,

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>politically to understand how NBA Young Young Boy would have

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 1>arrived at being a Trump supporter if he had not

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:45.439
<v Speaker 1>gotten a party, not enough in recent not enough consistently.

0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I think with some I mean Nicki Minaja the same way,

0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 1>I would have never thought that Nicki Minajo end up

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a Trump supporter. It makes sense with NBA Young Boy, though,

0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:54.240
<v Speaker 1>because this man was literally parton. He was about to

0:25:54.240 --> 0:25:55.879
<v Speaker 1>go to jail, was about to be behind bars, it

0:25:55.920 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>was about to be you know, two years of sitting

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 1>down solid and then another sitting down at home. Right,

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:04.960
<v Speaker 1>So I understand that.

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I just wish that.

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:16.560
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't pushing the whole mega regime thing because obviously

0:26:16.840 --> 0:26:21.160
<v Speaker 1>NBA Young Boy is very influential and very impactful. He

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:23.080
<v Speaker 1>is like the leader of you, one of the leaders

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of youth culture, if not honestly, I'm saying NBA Young

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Boy is the leader of youth culture at this point.

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Youth culture is basically like the Puschreisty's. The youngin is

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:34.320
<v Speaker 1>like the people. Look, I'm thirty four years old. I

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:37.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta it's not me anymore, but like the thirty one

0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 1>in under like that, I would say, Indy, I mean,

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the kids love NBA Young Boy. Y'all remember seeing those

0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 1>tour videos and hearing the crowd and just seeing how

0:26:45.760 --> 0:26:48.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy they were going. That man say jump, they say

0:26:48.320 --> 0:26:53.399
<v Speaker 1>how high? So I think politically and again I haven't

0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:55.919
<v Speaker 1>heard him speak much on politics or say this indefinitely,

0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know if he understands where he's leading

0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the people, especially like you know, I know that there

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:06.879
<v Speaker 1>are some music artists who, although you know, come from

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:09.560
<v Speaker 1>underserved communities and blah blah, all that stuff you know

0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>that goes along with it, still feel like or felt

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.360
<v Speaker 1>like President Trump was the answer. But if you look

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.880
<v Speaker 1>at things that have happened more recently, I don't understand

0:27:17.880 --> 0:27:23.040
<v Speaker 1>why anyone would think that or push that, and I

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:25.440
<v Speaker 1>just don't know if NBA Young Boy, as smart as

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>he is, I don't know if he understands how his

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:36.480
<v Speaker 1>blind loyalty ends people up longer term. And honestly, I

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>mean maybe he does. Maybe I'm completely wrong. Maybe we'll

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:45.399
<v Speaker 1>get that in another interview, but I would rather hear that, like, okay,

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 1>like why push whatever Trump is pushing? Why yes, he

0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:53.000
<v Speaker 1>pardoned you. I totally understand that, but like I mean,

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:59.199
<v Speaker 1>Fetti Wop was recently released and he wasn't pardoned, but

0:27:59.680 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>the First Step Act, which you know, got through the

0:28:04.280 --> 0:28:06.040
<v Speaker 1>under the Trump administration, is the reason why he was

0:28:06.040 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>able to come home.

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 2>But he's not out here.

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>I want you to be magg again, baby, Yeah, I

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 1>want you. You know, I'm not even saying that because

0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I want nobody to clip that younger. What I'm saying though,

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 1>all right now listen obviously at this point, if y'all

0:28:20.280 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 1>can't tell, I am a converted NBA Young Boy fan,

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I never was against NBA Young Boy.

0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I've always liked his music.

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I just think I wasn't really in tune with like

0:28:27.720 --> 0:28:29.479
<v Speaker 1>the only thing I knew about him was the thing

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that hit the headlines and y'all know my end of it.

0:28:31.400 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes that's just the that's the cattiness of it all.

0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:37.959
<v Speaker 1>That's the baby Mama drama. That's the you know, the arrests,

0:28:37.960 --> 0:28:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the runner from the police, the all of that stuff.

0:28:40.720 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 1>But his tour and watching each tour stop in the crowd.

0:28:44.600 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go to the tour, but just I wanted

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to go. That's how much watching the tour influence me.

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to go to the tour, just experience the

0:28:52.880 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>energy of it in real life, but didn't end up

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 1>making it. But he says that he's gonna go back

0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:58.880
<v Speaker 1>on tour again. He's gonna his plans or to take

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it international hopefully. I stand in the fact that he's

0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 1>been able to do all this with feeling black ball

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:07.640
<v Speaker 1>by the industry, with also not having like a lot

0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of like mainstream support, Like he's not played all over

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the radio, he's not sitting down for a bunch of

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 1>interviews a lot of the times when the outlets are

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>talking about him. It is the drama, but people love

0:29:17.920 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>his music. It goes crazy. I'm all against people going

0:29:21.360 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>against the regime. I don't support the MAGA stuff, but

0:29:24.680 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean I support get pay Young man get paid.

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:29.479
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. So yeah, but shout out

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.000
<v Speaker 1>to Complex for this interview. This was my breakdown of it.

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 1>You guys want more episodes like this?

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Let me know.

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I enjoy talking through interviews with you guys because I

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:44.960
<v Speaker 1>think we really get a chance to dissect not only

0:29:45.000 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the conversation that is being talked about and like the

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>headline of it all, but the actual real conversation, like

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the how is this impassing us?

0:29:54.720 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 2>What does this really mean? That doesn't really mean anything, because

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 2>sometimes these interviews would just be like this could have

0:30:01.240 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 2>been a tweet. You need to see the inner newa.

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>You know how you could that feeling. Sometimes it's your boss,

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:07.400
<v Speaker 2>like yo, this could have been an email. We didn't

0:30:07.400 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 2>need a meeting. But I love it. Nonetheless, this is

0:30:11.120 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the Lady so loring the Rosa.

0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.280
<v Speaker 1>This is your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news,

0:30:15.320 --> 0:30:17.280
<v Speaker 1>and all of the conversations that shape the room.

0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm loring the Rosa.

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>You guys could be anywhere with anybody talking about all

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 1>of the things, but you choose me right here with me,

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.000
<v Speaker 1>my lowriders. I appreciate you, and I'll see you in

0:30:27.000 --> 0:30:29.000
<v Speaker 1>my next episode.
