Speaker 1: of My Mama Told Me.

30
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: The podcast when we dive deep into the pockets of

31
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: black conspiracy theories.

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: And we finally worked to prove that Alicia Keys did

33
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: not lose her voice. Her voice was given away, traded,

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: just like the Little Mermaid, so that she could be

35
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: with Swiss Beats. He is her prince Eric. She was

36
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: willing to sacrificed everything to be with that silly man

37
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: who won't be honest about him being a bald person.

38
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm not gonna hold you decent deal.

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Whoa you think it's a good trade off?

40
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: Swiss Beats is so so rich, they have a good life.

41
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: They're in that house rollerskating all the time.

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: You would give up your voice for to be with Swizzy.

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 3: I worry that if I had a voice like Alisia Keys,

44
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: I'd a Bobby Brown it out. I'd have gone down.

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 3: I'd have been jumping out of helicopters doing karate kicks

46
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: with y'all rule like. I don't think it would have

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: been a great.

48
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: You think you think it was only meant to be mismanaged.

49
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: There was never going to be a sweet ending to the.

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 3: I think the Lord gave me the level of talent

51
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 3: that I could work with and not an inch more.

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: Damn and I heavy Alicia Keys is more talented than

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: I am.

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: Sure Alicia Keys more talented than most of us. I

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: would say, I don't think there's many on the planet

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: that that could compare the to prime Alicia Keys when

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: it first came out. Yeah, when them braids were thick,

58
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: come on, and that booty was too, But we didn't

59
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: know it yet.

60
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 3: Because she was one of them zoot suits. We didn't

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: know her name. We didn't know her name.

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: She was always sitting down on the piano bench, sitting down.

63
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 3: And it was a sturdy bench. She was bolted off.

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had they get that bench double lined.

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: And she was toughted buttons in the big old booty.

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: Alicia Keys, We miss your girl.

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: Come on back, Yeah, come home. I don't care if

68
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: the song, I don't care if the boye is it hitting,

69
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 3: I'll go see it live. Yeah.

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: That was the only thing about Alicia Keys. You've never

71
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: seen her dance?

72
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 3: Is that just that's man, I was okay, No, I

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: was just talking to my girl about that, not even

74
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: the are you allowed to not be able to dance

75
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 3: as a male R and B sing.

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: Like, well, let's talk about not dance like you're saying,

77
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: you're saying choose not to dance or literally you look

78
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: bad when you're dancing.

79
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 3: You look bad when you're dancing.

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't think you can be that.

81
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: Women. I can kind of get away with it, but

82
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: I don't think.

83
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mary Mary J can't dance for shit, and no

84
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: we celebrate her.

85
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: I love that video with the Lazers. I love that ship.

86
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: I think the closest we've ever come to that is Drake.

87
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a bad dancer. He is a bad

88
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: dance and he is an R and B ish type person.

89
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: But it took generations of like and it also took

90
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: him being affiliated with fucking Little Wayne, you know what

91
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Like there's a saving grace inside of that.

92
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: But now the average R and B nigga can't not dance.

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: No reflection of the times, Like you need to have

94
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: something that you that could be like mimiced on TikTok

95
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: because like Luther Vandros was not dancing.

96
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: No, okay, that is not. Probably he was big, but

97
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 3: he was not Heavy D. He was not he was.

98
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: We don't give him that. We don't give up that credit.

99
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 3: As far as like light on light on his feet,

100
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: like adult, I'm not gonna lie.

101
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I think Heavy D should be mentioned amongst the greats

102
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: in a way that we don't.

103
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go.

104
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: I really, I really think he's like he should be

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: like a top ten conversation, and we pretend like he's

106
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: not that guy.

107
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: My man came out in the lime green leather sweatsuit.

108
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: Ye whoa.

109
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: If you look through a catalog of heavy D outfits,

110
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: it's up there with like dapper Dan like it is

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 2: custom is colorful as fire. As he was dancing, not

112
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: with other big people. He was dancing with the.

113
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: Boys, skinny dancers.

114
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: And he was with them young boys.

115
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, there wasn't no, there wasn't that Lizzo trickery happening here.

116
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: This was this was skinny little men that he could

117
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: keep just every step with.

118
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: Bro. If I was Heavy D, I'd had the big

119
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 3: boys out, would have been flopping all over it.

120
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I'd have made them take their shirts off too, just

121
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: to show how big they are, y'all. Look how much

131
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: our guest today, And frankly, we've heard so much of

132
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: him before we've introduced ourselves or even him. I'm Likeston Kerman,

133
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and our guest today is a dear friend, a phenomenal comedian,

134
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: a talent of all kinds. I would say no person

135
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: I know is more committed to being an active member

136
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: of their community than this man. I think it's fair

137
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: to say he is. He is constantly in the community

138
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: doing shit that I truly did not know he would find.

139
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: A way to do.

140
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: The other day he posted a video of him at

141
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: a at some sort of Mexican event wearing a cowboy hat,

142
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: dancing exclusively with older Mexican people and was very much

143
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: a part of what is happening there. And I'll never

144
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: understand how he pulls this off. But it is my

145
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: favorite thing about him. He's a great comedian and a

146
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: dear friend. Give it up for KOFE.

00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 2: I know a lot of Mexicans, but also that night.

161
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: So let me take off that it was after this

162
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: this phenomenal live show. I don't know if you go,

163
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: phenomenal live show right with Langston and Dave days on tour.

164
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 2: So after the show, we all go out to some

165
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: restaurant and you know it's.

166
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: It's down the street from the venue we're hanging out.

167
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: We hang and it gets onto the topic there's a

168
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: lot of comedians, and that gets onto the topic of

169
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: like who is or who is not sexy? What is

170
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: sexy for a man? And we have our beliefs as

171
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: men about what makes a man sexy and the difference

172
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 2: between sexy and fine. And Sydney Washington is going.

173
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: As Sydney Washington, you ain't seen a dick in a decade,

174
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: asked Sydney Washington.

175
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: Right, that's the approach in.

176
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: There, going off trying to tell us what man and

177
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,400

Speaker 2: Sexy, and she keep and she named a couple of

179
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: people and she keep talking about Lanxton and Zach being sexy. Meanwhile,

180
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: Me and David are sitting here like I'm okay, okay,

181
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: hold on, who's going.

182
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: To swim first? I'm about to swing. I'm saying, you.

183
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: Know, I'm trying to be peaceful, and I look at

184
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 2: my man David. It's just sitting there, solid and just

185
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: starts dropping just fucking bombs and facts about who is sexy,

186
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: the criteria for sexy, the swag for sexy, how you

187
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 2: carry yourself. And I was like, man, we over here,

188
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: just dark and holding it down, and so sittill that

189
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: moment I building.

190
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I used it. I used it as a

191
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: term we were building. Yeah, we will.

192
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: So it's been, it's been. It's been love to us

193
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 2: since that moment. And you know, and my man, my

194
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: man Lanx and I know Fever. So that's the that's

195
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: the homie right there, and we're back in the building

196
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: and it's it's.

197
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: So happy you're here. You came with a conspiracy theory

198
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: that I would say is essential for us to cover

199
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: on this podcast. This has not been covered before. It

200
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: is essential that we cover this because frankly, it's it's

201
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: insane that it hasn't come up to at this point.

202
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: But you said, my mama told me Arizona Ice teens

203
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: were created to hold back the black community.

204
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 5: Facts, okay, all right, facts tell me you know, when

205
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 5: y'all get them, get that flex, drop a bomb on them,

206
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 5: all the sound effects.

207
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: At home, put them all the way up.

208
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 3: Boom boom. Here.

209
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: I'll take y'all, I'll take y'all back a step further

210
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 2: to walk with it, because this right now, I'm gonna

211
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 2: lie to y'all this might be the last podcast. All right,

212
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: all right. I started off just saying, ain't run.

213
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: Big Big, Arizona Big big canned beverage, Big Zona is

214
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: about to come and be all up in our ship,

215
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: either litigiously or or maybe even more sinister than that.

216
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: Right, keep see, I want you all to remember this

217
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: moment when we were all hit last and having a

218
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 2: good time. Might not might not be a lot more alright.

219
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: So here that it started, right, I got my own

220
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: like triggers for conspiracies of when I see something in

221
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,119
Speaker 2: our neighborhood that I don't see in a white neighborhood,

222
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: that's when my flags start going up. While we got it,

223
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: we don't get nothing special. So his where it hit

224
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: me right, and it took me back. This this transported

225
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: me right. So for me, when I was in high school,

226
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: I went to mostly white high school and Massachusetts. Okay,

227
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: before that, I was in like all black, all black schools.

228
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: So when I went to high school, I had my

229
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: lunch box which was just like a brown bag, and

230
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 2: I had a twenty percent juice in it.

231
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: Right, boxes are reach Yeah, but it wasn't a box.

232
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: It was it was a.

233
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 3: Brown battle one receptacle.

234
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 2: Listen it was it was yeah, it was my to

235
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: go se right started the point the point there, But

236
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 2: so to give you a different. So now I'm around

237
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: Now I'm around rich white kids. Okay in name, Yeah,

238
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: that's the first time I seen people at lunch that

239
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: didn't bring juice like they had water. They had water

240
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 2: bottles like the ones they fill up and then walk

241
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: around with it. And I hadn't seen anybody just drink

242
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: water like that before. So now I'm seeing in their stores.

243
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: Because they had a store called Little Peach that was

244
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 2: our Cors store. There was no Arizonas in there at all.

245
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 2: So now I'm like, oh shit, okay, why do why

246
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: don't they have Arizonas overhead?

247
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: We got overhead. You know what I'm saying.

248
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 2: These delicious, it's a great bargain, and it's all it's

249
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: all the ship that black folk talk about. Oh it's

250
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: a great price. It's delicious. It makes us happy.

251
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: You get what you can get for ninety nine cents, because.

252
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't. You can't get water twenty three ounces

253
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: of water. You're not getting that for ninety nine cents.

254
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 3: Anyway, It's yeah, come on now, yeah, that's so that's heavy.

255
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: So so you clock this in high style, you start

256
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: to notice the differences. Does that immediately translate to you

257
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: being like, so they are poisoning us. How do you

258
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: make that leap of them saying that this is bad

259
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: for black people?

260
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: God?

261
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: So at that time, I don't me being a young

262
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 2: black mind, all right, I was like, oh, these white

263
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: folks are missing out.

264
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. We're like, I.

265
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: Think you think you are so pro black, You're likely

266
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: we have resources in our community that white people are

267
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: feel for. They can't the positivity.

268
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: You see.

269
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: They don't appreciate flavor. That's why they ain't got it.

270
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: I started putting it on that they do, know what

271
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: I mean, they even plain sandwiches. I'm over here with

272
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: a watermelon juice. So when I got older, I tart

273
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: to know more about how we get slowly poisoned through

274
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: a lack of access to healthy food. Shout out to

275
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: my black farmers. When I learned about that, then I

276
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: was like, oh, let me look at this Arizona can

277
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: because again, like I'm in New York, so it is

278
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: a point of pride out here, like yeah, we got

279
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 2: the camp and it's even the point of conversation like, yo,

280
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: what flavor you be like like that?

281
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: Like what kind of you? I'm bad?

282
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: That used to that used to be like a nice

283
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: icebreaker when I was a kid, to be like your

284
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: favorite Arizona. And now all of a sudden, we don't

285
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: feel as far from each other as we felt before.

286
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it's like yeah, it's like who you

287
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: like it? That's a child, Yeah.

288
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: Kelly? Right, yeah, we all love Kelly a little more

289
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: than be Oh yeah.

290
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: Come on now, hey, don't go back to LaToya. So anyway,

291
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't get. But the good old days, she was

292
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: fine as hell. So that's when I was like, what's

293
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: going on here?

294
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: That's when I was like, what's going on here? So

295
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: I did.

296
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: I'm talking brothers.

297
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: Like.

298
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: The reason I say like, I really love what y'all doing,

299
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: but I am worried about this podcast is because when

300
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 2: I started doing digging a little bit deeper. This feels

301
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: like at Watergate, like deep your deep throat? Bro huh

302
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: shut up.

303
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 6: Like no, because I get what you're saying. But I'm

304
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 6: not gonna say yeah to that either.

305
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: You're just gonna openly give me to be like yeah

00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: That's one way to say yeah, okay.

310
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 3: It felt crazy as I was saying that.

311
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: I appreciate, okay, appreciate all y'all. That was that was

312

Speaker 3: You got no.

325
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: So they got this company right because Don he's doing

326
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: like distribution. John Ferrito is doing like bear. So first

327
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: they were like, all right, they started this like they

328
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 2: started selling liquor mot liquor, which we know is liquid

329
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 2: anti ambition to black people. Right, they start selling that

330
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: making tons of money. Get this right. When they were

331
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: selling Monte liquor, they used to put out these posters

332
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: all over the hood. One of the posters was had

333
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: this like a Native American man on it from the

334
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 2: su tribe. This thing, this can was so offensive that

335
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 2: the Native Americans sued and one in Congress to get

336
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: that removed.

337
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: That's the history in the eighties.

338
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

339
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: That's the history of this company, right.

340
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: So to get our hands on that can, that's probably

341
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: the best taste in malt liquor that that money can buy.

342
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: I just want to see it. I don't want to.

343
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 3: I don't want to. I don't want to get hooked.

344
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 3: One sip and you're done.

345
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's like original for a logo quality, you

346
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: know what I mean. That's gonna get you fucked up.

347
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's like it's that old recipe. It's like spices.

348
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Wait.

349
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: So KOFE, I love that you come on this research.

350
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: Come this is phenomenal research. We need to take a break,

351
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: but when we come back, I want you to break

352
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: down even more of your research because all of this

353
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: is frankly, some of it is more in depth than

354
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: even I was able to get. So I'm excited to

355
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: hear what you have. We're gonna take a break, we'll

356
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: be back with more. KOFEE Thomas and more. My mama

357
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: told me.

358
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: We are back discussing the implications that Big Zona has

359
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: on the community at large. Let's continue on fillos.

360
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kofe, you were in the middle of breaking down

361
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: some pretty heavy research, including us discovering that that boy

362
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: you said it's called Crazy Horse is the name of

363
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: the the now banned malt liquor that this company started.

364
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm co wrecked. So we already are establishing this

365
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 2: is a history of this company, the mar in a

366
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: way just to be like, yo, this is what these

367
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 2: people are gonna are gonna like. It's gotta the marketing

368
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: team as a real like as a real these people

369
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: focused group behind it.

370
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying.

371
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: It's so funny having this being explained by Nigga with

372
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: cricket glasses. I can't emphasized enough how hard it is

373
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: to know whether you are in fact spitting a real

374
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: truth or this is a complete bamboosolem it. But I'm

375
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: excited either way.

376
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 2: This Oh yeah, I wish, I wish, I wish it wasn't.

377
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: But this is twenty three ounces of facts coming out,

378
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 2: big facts. Who right, And then let's father this trajectory

379
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 2: of just of how kind of like I won't say again,

380
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say mafia mm hm, but this is

381
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: how gangsters move. Okay, So coming coming into the nineties,

382
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 2: all right, we got Snapple also out of New York.

383
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, They making moves. Snapple got

384
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: what ice tea?

385
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:31,959
Speaker 3: That's okay.

386
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying that these two Donvo tagos gangster.

387
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 2: But if you was a gangster and you've seen somebody

388
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: else making some money over here, you might say, oh,

389
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: I can do that same product, switch up the packaging.

390
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: And so in the nineties, Arizona comes out with what

391
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: they're known for.

392
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: Ice tea.

393
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah right, that's that's that's and they and they says it.

394
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: So then there's lawsuits, of course, because there's lawsuits because

395
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: they done took Snapples out there. But then get this

396
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: against against more gangster within the company. There's a ten

397
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 2: year battle between Don Botaggio and John Ferrialito over get

398
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: control of the family, which is the same way it

399
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: is in the Sopranos. I'm not saying it's my field,

400
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: but his name is done. He's fighting for control. He's

401
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: six s eighths and he owns distribution. Also the idea

402
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: that they took Snapple. Come on, stretch the game out. Yeah,

403
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 2: x the name out, now put soon on top, Come on, gangster,

404
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: come on, come on now, it's crazy.

405
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: It's worth noting that all of all of Kofe's research

406
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: I did read uh similar information. It's worth noting that

407
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 1: part of the reason that they say they differentiate how

408
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: they differentiated from Snapple was number one, the can, but

409
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: number two they added quote unquote like fifty percent more

410
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: tea into the products.

411
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 3: They stretched the game out.

412
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 1: They stretched it, they literally stretched it out. They like

413
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: cut the They basically cut the juice with more tea

414
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: and then made it less expensive, I believe, to push

415
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: out the staff target.

416
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, come on, it was worth the classes in

417
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: a wardrobe.

418
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't happen often on this show, but I'm glad

419
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 1: it's happened in the day.

420
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: We added a little bit. Come on, that's not us, baby,

421
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 2: that's not us.

422
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: So so you you read all of this that obviously

423
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: they're making this product based off of Snapple. They are

424
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: having this infighting. What are your thoughts, I guess on

425
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: the infighting. Are are you under the belief that maybe

426
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: John had a moral sort of conundrum that made him

427
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: want to want to split with this dude? Or is

428
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: this just a money grab off of a product already

429
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: moving this.

430
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: Nigga talking about moral conundrums.

431
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: This is gangsters. Okay, this is gangsters.

432
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 2: The empire is growing and only one of us is

433
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: six eighty. So who you think is in charge?

434
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: I got you. This isn't about John and some like

435
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: grasping for like responsibility out in the world. This is

436
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: Don basically being like, hey, I noticed you ain't as

437
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: tall as me, and I want all the money, so

438
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 1: you leave.

439
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: Come on now, cause you know John probably had the ideas,

440
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: let's drop a green tea, let's drop an energy Yeah,

441
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: don't sit in back loud. He get in kind of

442
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 2: calm for that. He think he thinks he's six to one.

443
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: Now now I'm gonna push him out the company. And

444
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 2: but I know y'all did y'all research, right, I know,

445
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 2: but it is am my thing, right you a company

446
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: that is profiting I want to say, primarily off of

447
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: the black community.

448
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: To that point, I am Bori. I'll be curious to

449
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 1: hear your thoughts. I personally do not know any white

450
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: people who grew up drinking arizonas that's not a thing

451
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: for the white folks that I've ever come in contact with.

452
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: It.

453
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 3: It was just I don't know about I can't speak

454
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: to that, but I can't say that. It was just

455
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 3: so much more accessible than Snapple ever was was in glass.

456
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: What am I a fucking senator? My mom's my mom,

457
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,000

Speaker 1: Yeah, it was too It had too many like fancy conversion.

460
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: That's it's the third pair that got me. I was

461
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: making it through with the originals, but this is the

462
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: third one that really broke me.

463
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:41,359

Speaker 2: Going through a lot of emotions overhead. And you know,

471
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 2: just from what y'all saying too, it's like you think

472
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: about to David's point about what we have access to,

473
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: like none of that shit is is a coincidence. You

474
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 2: feel like they decide what products go with. There's a

475
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: reason that there's a lot more echo unlimited in my

476
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: neighborhood than in the suburbs. Like we like we get

477
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: what they decide that we get too shot from, and

478
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: they know what is going to be attract Now, the

479
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: other part I'll speak to is that they also create

480
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: like a pipeline, like a consumer pipeline. So in the

481
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: same way where like if you will start let's say,

482
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: like vaping early, then later on you might start smoking cigarettes. Yeah, right,

483
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: because I got you on the candy flavors. So now

484
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: if I'm a youngin and I keep grabbing this this

485
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 2: twenty three ounce, you know what I'm saying, can juice?

486
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: As I get older, I'm a reach for that same

487
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: size can.

488
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. Damn, damn, I do

489
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 3: love talking. I'm just come on.

490
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: They're creating a relationship with that physical body in a

491
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: way that's that I grow up. No, I don't drink

492
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: juice anymore, but sure I enjoy a liquor or a

493
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: beer in this exact same body.

494
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, on a hot day, it's like it's it's like

495
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: you yet, man, damn.

496
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: Right, and then the bodega, it's literally like it's side

497
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 2: by side. It's the same. It's that same one long fridge.

498
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, yeah, and they push them Arizona's as close

499
00:29:55,640 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: to the the alcohol is a hote real is Oh

500
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: they go right next to each other. Damn, this is

501
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: heavy shit.

502
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: Now. You know who keep making money off of that?

503
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: Big boy six ' eight six eight, Don Yugyo. So

504
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about that a little bit. Because Don Valtaggio

505
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: and John far Alito, as you already suggested, get into

506
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: this legal battle starting I think in two thousand and

507
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: seven is when they start fighting over the who has

508
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: rights to the company. John wants to be able to

509
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: like sell it internationally, like he wants to sell his

510
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: shares to basically make it like an international market thing,

511
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: and Don instead just wants to buy him out. It

512
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: takes all the way until twenty fifteen for them to

513
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: ultimately resolve this, and it's in part because Don was

514
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: trying to undersell the price of the company. He basically suggests, like, yeah,

515
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: we're only worth like four hundred and thirty million or

516
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: something like that. John's like, Nona, no, that shit's worth

517
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: six billion dollars and he's lying. And so they go

518
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: through like this major infighting of how much the company

519
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: is worth, and ultimately in twenty fifteen they settle for

520
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: a billion dollars. Why he basically gets a billion dollars

521
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: bill out of his share half of the of the

522
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: company command.

523
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: It's crazy. Everybody's talking about jay Z making a billion

524
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: off of liquor a bill off of juices, off of

525
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: Juice Baby Regional juices.

526
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, ninety, here's the ultime.

527
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 3: What is in there?

528
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: Well, that's I'm so glad you asked that question, because

529
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: even as you're saying juice, that is not really an

530
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 1: accurate representation of what it is. It's in fact five

531
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: percent to ten percent juice, depending on which product you're choosing.

532
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: They never really exceed ten percent juice. And then the

533
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: rest of it, I guess, is like air conditioning, cooler

534
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: or some shit. It's just it's just other stuff sort

535
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: of mixed in. And in fact, I look this up

536
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: on their website, all of the drinks, the sugar percentage

537
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: for all of their drinks range somewhere between fifty eight

538
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: percent to one hundred and eight percent of your daily

539
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: recommended dosage of sugar for a single can one can

540
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: and you can eat drink one hundred and eight percent

541
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: of the sugar you're supposed to have for a.

542
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: Day, and that's what if you drink it all the

543
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: way to school.

544
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: That's just one can.

545
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: You got a whole rest of your day.

546
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: And they're ninety nine cents. So yay, I'm gonna get

547
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: another can?

548
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: Is the one? Okay? Can I ask? This is the

549
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 3: one that's one O eight. That's the soda ones they

550
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: have right now.

551
00:32:58,360 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: I either have the.

552
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: I'm not.

553
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: I wish it was, And no, I haven't had their sodas.

554
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: I've healed. I've tried to be better about my relationship

555
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: with these things.

556
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: Oh really, I had, man when I had first This

557
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: is my Arizona struggle. When I first moved to La

558
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 3: I was down bad. I didn't live nowhere. I was

559
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: just I would go do comedy for like four hours

560
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 3: a night, and then I would go to seven to eleven.

561
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 3: I get one of the five fifty pizza five fifty

562
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 3: five pizzas and one of those Cherry Lime arizonas.

563
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: Fuck the soda, Yeah them Lime rickeys, you're talking about that?

564
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah Lime Ricky's. And now I'm do I know if

565
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 3: I can have kids.

566
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: Hey, there's only one way to find out, my guy.

567
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: For real, many good practicing.

568
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred and eight is not. In fact, the

569
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: Sodas one hundred and eight was from like the strawberry

570
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: Kiwi flavor I think that I saw, and it's just

571
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: it's just pure fucking sugar all the way to the bottom.

572
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 2: It's a mix of sugar mouthwash, you know what I'm saying.

573
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: And were out here talking about, oh what kind of

574
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: what kind of liquid diabetes?

575
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 3: You like?

576
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, because we again we keep

577
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 2: like we keep pushing up, keep like idolizing like this

578
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 2: really shitty things that we get. I'm not going to

579
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 2: say it goes back to Chipling's that's another podcast. But

580
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 2: but the leftovers that we then, you know, kind of

581
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: put our like our kind of sauce our like swag

582
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: onto and make it like dope to have one.

583
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 4: Right.

584
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: Let me let me give you. Let me give you

585
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: a couple of important numbers there have been for all

586
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 2: of the basketball.

587
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 3: The reason is this is such a problem is because

588
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 3: it is delicious.

589
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, They're unbelievably yummy, and it's part of the reason

590
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: I don't get them anymore is because I truly do

591
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: think I would restore a deep, deep addiction to them,

592
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: not because I think I'm better than it, if that

593
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: makes sense.

594
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: No, I understand you have to stay away because you

595
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 3: love it.

596
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: No, it just does seem like the deep roots of

597
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: this relationship that we're all speaking to sort of create

598
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: this damaging effect on the black community, especially right like

599
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: we we created this relationship. And that's an interesting fact

600
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 1: inside of all of this, because specifically, once Don takes

601
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: over the company, people start pushing back about the pricing, right,

602
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: or rather like people they're not pushing back, but they're

603
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: sort of acknowledging that, like it's weird that he is

604
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: able to still keep the price point at ninety nine

605
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: cents given the inflation that's happened in every other product

606
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: across every other industry in the world. Frankly, so that's

607
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 1: sort of what he points to is not so much

608
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: the deal, but he says that part of the way

609
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: that we're able to keep the price so low is

610
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: we don't do any marketing. So and when every other

611
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: company is having to shell out money to be able

612
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: to get fucking Beyonce or Drake to drink sprite or

613
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck to keep you addicted wanting more of this,

614
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: he just says word of mouth is enough effectively to

615
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: keep people wanting more Arizonas, and that to me feels

616
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: like crack.

617
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: Fucked up because it is that's all.

618
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: I've never read an Arizona ad. I don't see no

619
00:36:54,480 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 1: Arizona commercials, but everybody I've ever loved has poison themselves

620
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: with Arizonas and that seems crazy.

621
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 2: God, bro, we only here talking about crack. Yeah, come on, bro,

622
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 2: that ship just said mere here talking about crack in

623
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: the community.

624
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 3: This, you know, I know what else I don't like.

625
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 3: Crack has had bigger endorsement dollars than Arizona.

626
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, jay Z talking about famous people talk about crack.

627
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: Fuck Yes, Wow, damn.

628
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: When the dots started to connect to my head because

629
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: we crack? You like, well, who's responsible?

630
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: Right? The C I A right? What C I A?

631
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: Three letters? Who is responsible for drinks that come into

632
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 2: the hood?

633
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 3: The F D A?

634
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: Oh?

635
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: Come on?

636
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 3: Food and food? And what's the D stand for? Not

637
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: heavy D drug? Food and drug?

638
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: Food and drug not not food.

639
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: This goes all the way to the top. That's crazy.

640
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: I never thought about that. Why are they doing foods

641
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: and drugs?

642
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: They aren't similar products.

643
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: No one of those should not be connected to the

644
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: other one, and there should be a food And.

645
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: Just when you thought he was, don't it don't make

646
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:34,919
Speaker 2: no sense?

647
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: I was like, for sure, he doesn't have any more passibly,

648
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 3: where would he? Where would he? Where would he keep.

649
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: This wall of sunglasses and readers?

650
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: Man, this is a hard I feel like this is

651
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: It's not often that we have a conspiracy that just

652
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 3: shows up, good to go on stept like that, but

653
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: this is I mean, I don't know what's to argue.

654
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other worthy note inside of this that I

655
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 1: think we shouldn't ignore is that John Feralalito, who is

656
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: the guy who basically makes a billion dollars selling his

657
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: half of the company. John goes on to end up

658
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: in a different lawsuit when he supposedly, during a mulligan

659
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: on a golf course, hit another person in the head

660
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: with a golf ball, leaving them unconscious. Right, And he

661
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: gets into this lawsuit and they if you hit somebody

662
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 1: with the golf ball, well that his claim is that

663
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: it was a mulligan and then it accidentally hits this

664
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: other person, right, or like he maybe he was going

665
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: after a mulligan and was trying to fix it. And

666
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: then hit a person whatever. But part of what they

667
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: claim is like, yeah, accidents like this can occur on

668
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: golf courses. You sign waivers that make it sort of

669
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: like possible whatever that this could happen, and you acknowledge that.

670
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: But their point in the lawsuit is that he hit

671
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: the person at point blank range, that it was not

672
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: in fact nearly as much of a mulligan as they're

673
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: trying to pretend it was, but in fact just a

674
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: straight shot at a person said that knocked them unconscious.

675
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: And Kofi, this does not not feel like the mob

676
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: that you're speaking about.

677
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, we look, I don't play golf.

678
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 2: It ain't no way, ain't no way you're going to

679
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: hit somebody from close range or a golf ball so

680
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 2: hard it knocks them unconscious and it's an accident. What,

681
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 2: let me ask you, was this man laying down in

682
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: front of the teeth. There's so much that's not being

683
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: not being shared about this story that they're trying to

684
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 2: cover up. He's got the money for it, and quite frankly,

685
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: I'm worried for that witness, Like people go listen.

686
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, also because a mulligan you take after you hit

687
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: the shot right like, and then you're like, oh, it's

688
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 3: a Mulligan, so that means he killed that man. And

689
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 3: then he was like awesome Mulligan.

690
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, No, he fucked the dude up real bad.

691
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: He made him hold the golf ball in his mouth

692
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: while he's swaying through, and then he's like, Mulligan, I'm

693
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna do that again, and I'm taking my shot back.

694
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

695
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 2: It's the whoa, whoa, whoa, what's wrong with this guy

696
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: over here tripping on the golf course? Hey, So it's

697
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: it's like, Oh, other thing I'm glad that you brought

698
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: up is that there is there's such a big Dawn

699
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: like Don Corleoni energy around both of these dudes because

700
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: right now, because there was an interview with with Dawn

701
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: of Otaggio from Monsters in Forbes and this dude, oh

702
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: back to is there a couple important numbers to give

703
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 2: you all some some perspective. For all the money that

704
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: they've made off of the community, there has not been one,

705
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 2: not one like roller ring dance, not one. Not one

706
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 2: basketball tournament, yeah, not one. We can't get a three

707
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: three Arizona, we can't. We can't get jerseys, yeah, you

708
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 2: know with green tea on the back. We can't get those.

709
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 2: We can't, So there's been zero.

710
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: The Phoenix Suns having the Arizona label on them feels

711
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: like an easy wonder one like that just seems like clear,

712
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: good business and and nothing.

713
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 3: They don't even kind of do that ship because that's

714
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: the that's the problem, right. They don't want to be

715
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: have to be accountable. That's why they didn't want to

716
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 3: go international. There's gotta be Don, it's on.

717
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 1: Paper, and that's some mob shit, right because then it

718
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: becomes like, nah, I'm not. And part of that's that's

719
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 1: what they say in terms of keeping the price point

720
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: and ninety nine cents, is that Don's argument is that

721
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: he would like to keep the company at the roots

722
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: that sort of made it popular in the first place.

723
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: He's like, I don't want to grow this thing because

724
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: then we will lose customers. And people have acknowledged that,

725
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: like your company is losing money in this non inflation world, right,

726
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: like there you inflate because that's how you keep up

727
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 1: with the fucking market. But he's like, nah, keep it

728
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: at ninety nine cents, because then we'll lose any of

729
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 1: our customers who already buy it.

730
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 2: Right to keep it. In that sense, and a lot

731
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: of that you talk about how do they do it,

732
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 2: there's a lot of the there's a lot of that

733
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,399
Speaker 2: same secrecy of the mafia, of like don't pay, don't

734
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 2: worry about it, don't about it?

735
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 3: We wait, whoa what? All the questions.

736
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 2: Forbes magazine came to his office, which is massive. He

737
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 2: has like his own woodworkers inside that. They came into

738
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: his office and they were like, hey, what is your

739
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 2: marketing budget?

740
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 3: Like how big is it? You know what? His answer was,

741
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 3: real ship, forget about it. His answer is be goes,

742
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 3: how big is my budget? It's sixth sakes, come on that.

743
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 3: Damn that. I didn't want to figure it was cool,

744
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: but that that was good. Damn cool ship man, he's

745
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 3: he's straight gangster.

746
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: The final piece that I'll share with you guys, and

747
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: as far as the research, is that the name Arizona.

748
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 3: Actually, everybody, you have to watch this on YouTube because

749
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 3: my man, you thought the work was in the research.

750
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: Five glasses deep and I don't think this train is

751
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: stopping any time. But the last piece that I'll share

752
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: with you is that they named the company Arizona, but

753
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: it was originally meant to be named Santa Fe, after

754
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: his I guess, desert style home that he had in

755
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: New York. He had like some random desert style home

756
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 1: living in New York, and he wanted to name it

757
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 1: Santa Fe, but opted to not name it Santa Fe

758
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: because it didn't look good on the can and decided

759
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: on Arizona, even though he had never been to Arizona.

760
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: In fact, had never even crossed the Mississippi like cross

761
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: west of the Mississippi.

762
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: I did just say, he's never been in New Jersey.

763
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: No, he's never fucking left New York the entire time.

764
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 3: And also, by the way, Arizona, what they got you

765
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 3: trouble for? At first? It's vaguely Native American. I've always

766
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:19,919
Speaker 3: felt that way.

767
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there clearly is an obsession with sort

768
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: of marginalized people in their product building, right, And so

769
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,439
Speaker 1: he's like, all right, I got in trouble last time

770
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 1: for naming this shit after a bunch of Native Americans.

771
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: I'll do something a little more subtle in being like

772
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:42,320
Speaker 1: nodding to that culture and that look, that esthetic without

773
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: getting the associations that I had last time, thus making

774
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: it a minority product. Thus attracting minorities, thus making assault

775
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: sick and die.

776
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 3: Damn damn sweet keew strawberry favored death.

777
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what a what a fucking yummy death it is?

778
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think on my deathbed, I want somebody

779
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: to just run across the street to a gas station

780
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: and bring back an Arizona.
