1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: Did you ever get lost in that though? Did it

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: ever define you?

3
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 2: Like?

4
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a while I felt defined by it until

5
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 3: I started to redefine what it was to take accountability,

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 3: because accountability isn't just saying I fucked up I did this.

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 3: Accountability is saying I fucked up, I did this. But

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: let me just try to take full accountability for the

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 3: mistakes that I made, regardless of the reasons why I

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 3: did them, and then let me try to learn from

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 3: those mistakes.

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for watching guys. Today's episode is brought to

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,280

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: the building today. Who has been Rockinstace, the nineteen.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 4: Hundreds Woo eighteen hundred.

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: Chart topping hit maker. Many would say, an R and

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: B sex symbol.

18
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 4: Let's say such a thing.

19
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: Many people, including Essence in twenty ten, they said that

20
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: also one of the most outspoken and funny artists that

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: you can follow social media right now. I said this

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: to him when he walked in. One of my favorite

23
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: things is watching the many incarnations of Eric Bennet and

24
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: how you have navigated and how you are here now

25
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: and how you took a did you take a city

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: bike over here?

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 4: Did always I'll get New York and I'll just hop

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 4: on the bike.

29
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like you've been riding the wave

30
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 1: of your career and your life in that type of

31
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: way from the outside. I don't know from the inside,

32
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: but I feel like there's been so many times that

33
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: you're this guy. Why is my phone? Did I not

34
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: shut it off?

35
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: Shut up people texting me? You said, ooh, ask Eric?

36
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Did ask Eric?

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: No?

38
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: I feel like you came in the game and you were.

39
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 4: Like a certain thing.

40
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: What was the thing?

41
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: It was?

42
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 3: It was a barefoot bohemian smelling like a pack of incense.

43
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 4: Neo so I don't like that time.

44
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: I know you hate neil so artists.

45
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: That's what I was.

46
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: And how did you feel in that box?

47
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: I felt like some of it was kind of true,

48
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: because I feel like incenses. You enjoy some incense. And

49
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: I was I was a holistic person, but I think my.

50
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: My personality was closer to that of like an Oakland,

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 3: California person, because in Oakland they'll be into the chakras

52
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: and the instance, but they'll be like, you look at

53
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: me the wrong way, you get cut my fucker, don't

54
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: get this.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: So I think I was more of a mixture of that, but.

56
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: I remember, I remember very distinctly, and I was also

57
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 3: I have always been this goofy personality that people see online.

58
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: But I remember specifically in a publicity meeting at A

59
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: and not A and R. But when I was first

60
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: signed to Warner Brothers and me always doing voices and

61
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: cracking jokes and being goofy. I remember having this conversation,

62
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 3: we're marketing you as like this sexy, smooth like.

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 4: In public in and interviews just toned down that goofy shit.

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 4: And so did they say those words basically yes, And

65
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 4: it kind of that kind of stuck, making me feel like, Okay,

66
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: if I want this to work, I'm gonna let this

67
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: part of myself show, but maybe hold back to goofy Milwaukee.

68
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: Dude, Oh that doesn't sound fun.

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: It wasn't un fun.

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 3: It just didn't feel one hundred percent authentic, you know.

71
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: But I think once you get to a certain age,

72
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: you stop considering what you are supposed to look like

73
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: and then you just start being what you are. And

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: and then that was right around the time that I

75
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: discovered like TikTok and instant and shit.

76
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: Oh, so this is a recent kind of well, the

77
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 4: discovery of being authentic isn't recent, but the introduction to

78
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 4: that part of myself to the world public is recent.

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: Yes, because that was like, like, I don't know what

80
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: I've been on TikTok, like for not even four years,

81
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: I don't even know something.

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: It feels in modern times, it feels very recent.

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: It feels very and relatively speaking, in my career, it

84
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: has been recent.

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: And in the first comments were like, wait, hold up,

86
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: is this barefoot Eric Breney?

87
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 4: Did he just say nigga?

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: What you know?

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: So it's it was a lot of that, but yeah,

90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: it was a relief to be able to of course

91
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: it is, and it always is when you feel like

92
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 3: what any situation you're in, if you feel like you're

93
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: not being completely authentic, when you finally are, it feels

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: so good. And then to have people affirm that.

95
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 4: Like, where the fuck was this dude?

96
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: We like him?

97
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: We like him, like y'all like me this whole time?

98
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: You mean you like me the whole time. So I've

99
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: been right here, I go right, I've been right here.

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 4: Trying to be mister smooth, suave, and shit, it's not really.

101
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: Mean, does it, does it?

102
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 4: Ever?

103
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: Like if you look like old.

104
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 3: Sometimes I look at old, old photo shoots and I

105
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 3: was like, oh man, look at me. I'm trying to

00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: do what they call it today, the looks maxing right there.

107
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: I'm trying to do the blue steel in that picture.

00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: You know, it worked for some You got you on

113
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: were a singer. You probably served you in some type

114
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: of way. Yeah, who were you before that? Though? Like

115

Speaker 1: Art, singing, listen.

119
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 4: Singing, Yeah, singing, But singing to me was such a

120
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 4: what did I want to say?

121
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 3: Singing to me was such a reflex like like like

122
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: like like a visceral thing, like like something I didn't

123
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: even have to think about, So I didn't even think

124
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 3: about It's interesting, I don't know how to put it.

125
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 4: I didn't even think about singing something that.

126
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: I did as an interest as much as it was

127
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 3: like just who you are?

128
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 4: Just what it?

129
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like just like you got two years

130
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 3: it's like, oh shit, Yeah, singing is just.

131
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: Part of me your whole life. Yeah, pretty much.

132
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: Because my I'm the youngest in this group of super

133
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: musical siblings and uh, father and mom just loved music

134
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 3: and had their own distinctive music collections.

135
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: And all my siblings sang. We sang in harmony, we

136
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: played instruments.

137
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: We that's what That's what home life was for me,

138
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 3: to the point where I thought everybody's family was like this,

139
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: you know, just like on Sunday everybody ate dinner.

140
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: I thought everybody like harmonized and shit, and it was

141
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: like and then I remember.

142
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: Being surprised in school when it's music time how many

143
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: people had no sense of pitch?

144
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: Well do you like?

145
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, like seven, you know when the kids around you, Yeah,

146
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: why why are you two whole steps above the key

147
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: of the song, Like like are you deaf? And so

148
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm thinking this kid is maybe this kid is deaf.

149
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: So it's wrong.

150
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, something's wrong with you because it was so like anyway,

151
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 3: but yeah, music has just been been me.

152
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: It's just who you are.

153
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

154
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 3: It took a minute for me to realize, oh, maybe

155
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 3: I could do a career this, But again, it was

156
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: weird because to me, it was just like walking.

157
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: It's like, what am I going to do? Make pay

158
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: me for this?

159
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: People would pay me to just like sing and shit.

160
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: And it wasn't until puberty when I realized.

161
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: Girls like this, Oh my god.

162
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: And then, like I said, I was just like little

163
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: nerdy dude who was always doing something that the rest

164
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 3: of the guys weren't doing. So and then when I

165
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: was like, nobody really knew I could sing, and I

166
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: never really volunteered for any solos or thing until it

167
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: was like seventh grade and I was like, fuck it,

168
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: let me enter this talent show and I sang like

169
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: Lionel Richie's.

170
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: Truly who I brought the house down?

171
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Is there a video of that anywhere?

172
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: I hope so. But you know, we were lucky to

173
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: have electricity back then.

174
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Yea video. You don't have a video of it. But

175
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I remember there.

176
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 4: Was this girl, Vicky Stanton.

177
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Where is she?

178
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 4: I have no fucking clue, but I remember back before

179
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: I sang truly, Vicky did not. I was.

180
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: I was just like, oh that's Eric. He's like a

181
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: little weird, little nerd guy. And I'd be like I

182
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 3: didn't even know how to talk to Vicky when I

183
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 3: sang truly. The next day, Vicky was at my locker

184
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: with her eyes a Google eyed, and I was like,

185
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 3: got her. I think I got some shit right here, right.

186
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: So I'm always surprised how many people, how many men

187
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: have launched a.

188
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: Career yeah based on Yeah, women that testosterone to run

189
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: your brain.

190
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: There's so many of you that I've interviewed, and I'm thinking, oh,

191
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: it must because you know their parent of this.

192
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 4: There was a girl.

193
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: It was a girl, And I got so many girls.

194
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 5: I thought, this's going to be my life right right right,

195
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 5: So funny, but especially at that time when you're at

196
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 5: that twelve thirteen years old, when you're so nerdy and

197
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: insecure and you don't know how to talk to people,

198
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 5: and then you discover this almost like superpower you have

199
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 5: and it's like, oh shit, I will.

200
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: Wield this sword with responsibility. So it was that kind

201
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: of vibe. It was like, Oh, this is some powerful

202
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: shit I got.

203
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: So what were you doing with that powerful shit? At

204
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: the age of past forward ten years to eighteen twenty.

205
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: At eighteen twenty and again, as much as the whole

206
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: Vicky Stanton story and the wielding the power of the

207
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: voice and all that shit.

208
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 4: I never really.

209
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 3: Put two feet down, two feet down and said my

210
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: career is going to be music, because, you know, for

211
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 3: a bunch of reasons. I think it was part of

212
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: that ingrained black mom and dad who were like, you've

213
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 3: got to go to college and okay, music, yeah, yeah, yeah,

214
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 3: but you got to have a solid degree.

215
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: And even your parents, I'm surprised, yes, music lovers.

216
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: Well, my father, mainly my dad.

217
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: He was like this frustrated, cultured dude who became a

218
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: policeman and a detective out of necessity in Milwaukee. But

219
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: he was really cultured and he wanted more for us.

220
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: And oddly enough, I told my dad, like, right before

221
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: I graduated high school, I was like, Dad, I think

222
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: I want to be a fashion design because I still

223
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: wasn't thinking music equals career, and he was like, fashion designer,

224
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: a black man was a fashion like my dad didn't

225
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: have a whole lot of vision. He should have came

226
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: to New York and learned about black men in fashion design.

227
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 3: But so basically I spent a year or a year

228
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 3: and a half in college and then around nineteen, my

229
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 3: cousin George called me and told me that there was

230
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: a band, a relatively successful band in Milwaukee, nobody who

231
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: had any national fame or anything, but they were they

232
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: were always doing performing at the hot clubs and they

233
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: had radio spots.

234
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: So it's like in the name of the band was Girard,

235
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: and every every weekend you'd hear commercials about, you know,

236
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: after the drag speed way in this park, and also

237
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: there will be Gerard performing, and like, wow, Gerard.

238
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: One day and my cousin told me Gerard was looking

239
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 3: for a new lead singer, sister, and I joined your Yard.

240
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 4: And then I was like, all right, I'll see what

241
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 4: the singing shit does. And then it was like.

242
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: No turning back after no turning.

243
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 3: Back after that, because then I got a chance. That

244
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 3: was my college because for the next.

245
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 4: Couple of years I was in Gerard.

246
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 3: But but the cool thing about being in a corny

247
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: band is you get to learn how to work an audience,

248
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: especially drunk audiences in the Midwest.

249
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: You don't know who really, probably don't really know who

250
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: you a.

251
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 4: They don't want to hear me sing. They want to

252
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 4: hear the other girl with the tits sing, and it's like, oh,

253
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 4: the black dude what is he gonna sing? So I

254
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: got to like win them over? I got a break

255
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 4: up fights.

256
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Did you have a go to song that you would

257
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: win them over?

258
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: Well? Whatever was hot? What you know at any given

259
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: time this we were doing Gerard.

260
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: Every two to three months, we would learn four more

261
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 3: top forty songs, whether it was my prerogative or or

262
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: some Madonna song.

263
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: Yo, I'm telling you it was. It was the I

264
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 4: was I kill that shit? You do?

265
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: I kill that Bobby.

266
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 4: Brown ship back then. So so whatever was the hottest

267
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 4: at the moment, I'd be like, it's my prerogative. I'd

268
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 4: be trying to do the Bobby Brown dance, mose and

269
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 4: ship and there was a rap after that. It was

270
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 4: like yeah, So, I mean that was my college. That

271
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: was learning how to hone my And the other thing

272
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 4: about Gerard was when you have to learn those songs

273
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: every couple of months, it's like a mechanic taking apart

274
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 4: of an engine putting it back together. I learned hit

275
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: how to construct a hit song?

276
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: Oh smart.

277
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 3: So it was like, you know, we got to go

278
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 3: in the studio, we got to listen to all the harmonies.

279
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 3: We got to be like, okay, figure out the bass

280
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: and the chords and the boom and the breach around

281
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: and it's a it's a formula a hit song. It's

282
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: like it's like three or four formulas, but variations of

283
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 3: those formulas work.

284
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good bar for life because sometimes people,

285
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: especially nowadays, people who try to rush to the end

286
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: goal or they try to get it fast. Yeah, and

287
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: sometimes fast you missed. You missed the work that it

288
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: takes for you to be great. So you're gonna be

289
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 1: fast food. You're gonna be quick fast. You're not gonna

290
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: have the nourishment you saying some shit right now, No,

291
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: the nourishment that you get from having that experience.

292
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,119
Speaker 3: And I really think a lot of today's artists, to

293
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: the risk of sounding like an old man, it's like

294
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: they skip all those steps. They go from in their

295
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: bedroom to doing something on TikTok and face the camera

296
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: which is awesome, to maybe a viral moment and boom,

297
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 3: throw you on stage, and it's like, you know, but

298
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta do a couple of years of

299
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: learning what it means to actually be physical on stage

300
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 3: and how that how you maintain your voice, because that's

301
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 3: there's so many I should open the school up.

302
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: You should like a master class. I should do a

303
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: master class. You have a great social media following up,

304
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: you can send them all that way.

305
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 4: So damn good idea, You're welcome. I feel like this

306
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 4: is a back to the future moment here, you.

307
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: Do it.

308
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: But no, because there's so many facets to this business

309
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 4: that a lot of artists tend to skip.

310
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

311
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 4: And uh, we didn't. We didn't. And the and another

312
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: cool thing about Gerard was they owned a recording studio.

313
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 4: I know, I got it. Every time I hear I

314
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 4: see the name written, I hear it as they said

315
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: it on the radio this weekend, Gerard. But well, oh

316
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 4: so they.

317
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: The Spanish radio station.

318
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 4: Sounds like, but it got that Spanish told O, my god,

319
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 4: those gee guys him Gerou. But they owned a studio.

320
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: And in the late eighties and early nineties that was

321
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: not a common thing. You know, everybody got a studio

322
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080

Speaker 1: Give me like the brief version the headlines.

379
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: You're always.

380
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 3: Learning how to improve yourself. You know, there's like maturity

381
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 3: is not like a a destination.

382
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 4: It's like a constant journey.

383
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 3: You are always a work in process until it's done,

384
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: and it ain't done until it's done. And one of

385
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: the things that keep me feeling this uncharacteristically youthful sixty

386
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 3: is I always I feel like I'm always trying to

387
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 3: expand and try new things and do new things. And

388
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: I think that keeps I mean, I think that keeps

389
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 3: my brain more active, and it definitely keeps your body

390
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 3: more in shape. And if you're conscious about what you

391
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: put into that body, mainly like water. And I cut

392
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: a lot of things out over the years, and I've

393
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: tried to pick up more healthy practices.

394
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 4: Then you can be sixty.

395
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: As it looks for me today, where I feel active,

396
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm ready to take on two or

397
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 3: three new more challenges, and I feel like by the

398
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 3: time I hit sixty five, I'm probably going to have

399
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 3: two or three more endeavors I ain't even thought of yet.

400
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 3: And it doesn't feel like slowing down. At twenty years old,

401
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 3: forty felt like, oh it's a wrap. Yeah, my life

402
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: is over at forty Shit, fucking forget it.

403
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: That is true the feeling. But the reality of our

404
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: time on this earth is that we are past the

405
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: halfway mark. That's likely we leave to one ten or

406
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: one twenty. Does that not freak you out? Or did

407
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: that ever freak you out? Aging in that way when

408
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: you think about how our time is limited?

409
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think if I really?

410
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: But is that a morbid depressing question to ask?

411
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 3: It's not a morbid depressing question, but it's like it's

412
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 3: like anything else. It's like if you think about the

413
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: if you're in a challenging situation and life has its challenges,

414
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 3: if you're in a challenging situation, and if you're always

415
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: thinking about the worst possible outcome. Then you're going to

416
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 3: affect everything that you're going to benefit from that challenging

417
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 3: situation any all the ways you're going to grow, all

418
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: the ways that you're going to be uplifted. And it's

419
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: the same thing if you're always thinking about, damn, I'm

420
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: sixty statistically speaking, I got eighteen years more left.

421
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: You know.

422
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 3: If I think about that, that's just gonna fu limit

423
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 3: and fuck up whatever time I have left. So I

424
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 3: think that's the way to look at it.

425
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: So you say, fuck that, Yeah, fuck the end, because shit,

426
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: I might be one of them fools that be like

427
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 4: one hundred and ten years old. My name every Ben.

428
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: Back in the nineteen hundreds, in nineteen.

429
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 4: Ninety one, we had cell phones, not these digital chips,

430
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 4: and I had you know.

431
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: That's absolutely happening, by the way, it is absolutely happening.

432
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: How have you throughout the years and through other ups

433
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: and downs and the public things and the whatever, how

434
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: have you maintained not letting outside become who you are inside?

435
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: I feel I ask you about the lessons, and it

436
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: not the details.

437
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, I'll say so, the lessons.

438
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: The headlines, Oh, that's.

439
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: A chapter to it.

440
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: When I write, when I write my book, I think

441
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 3: that's going to headline. It's going to be the name

442
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 3: of the chapter.

443
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: WHA.

444
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: And I ain't giving you no credit Why I.

445
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Gave you that? And I give you about your masterclass.

446
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: I gave you to Jewels today headlines.

447
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: I think one of the things about going through life's

448
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: challenges is it really helps galvanize, like how you are

449
00:22:54,600 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: not a responsive to negative energy, you know. I think

450
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 3: when if there's negative energy coming at you, and if

451
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: there is, uh, I shouldn't say negative energy, I should

452
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: say h less than positive views of you for things

453
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 3: that you you've taken accountability for and you've done, and

454
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: you've tried, you've tried to improve yourself and your psyche

455
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: and your mental from things that you've realized that you've done.

456
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 3: First of all, you can't expect the world or anybody

457
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 3: else to immediately forgive you, and then you have to

458
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 3: forget or forget because.

459
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 4: Then they'll try to define you by mistakes. And then

460
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 4: you can't you can't allow what they are thinking of

461
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 4: you affect how you feel about you, because there's the

462
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 4: internal journey that you're on. Nobody body else knows but you.

463
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 3: So I think going through that process, it actually makes

464
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 3: you a better person and kind of facilitates growth faster,

465
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 3: I think, or at least that's the way I feel

466
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: about life.

467
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 1: Did you ever get lost in that though? Did it

468
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: ever define you? Like I think?

469
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: In so many ways? If you look at my comments to.

470
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: A lot of people, I feel like going through the

471
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 3: biggest fuck up I felt. Yeah, for a while, I

472
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: felt defined by it until I started to redefine what

473
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: it was to to take accountability. Because accountability isn't just

474
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 3: saying I fucked up I did this. Accountability is saying

475
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: I fucked up.

476
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 4: I did this. Let me try not to think of

477
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 4: the reasons.

478
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: Or the something that could be misinterpreted by other people

479
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 3: or even myself as excuses. But let me just try

480
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 3: to take full accountability for the mistakes that I made,

481
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: regardless of the reasons why I did them, and then

482
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 3: let me try to learn from those mistakes. You know

483
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: what I mean, I do. But until I get to that,

484
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: until that process is finished, yeah, it's there's a lot

485
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 3: of beating yourself up and feeling like I'm less than I'm.

486
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: Worried in the storm of that. How old are you, Jesus?

487
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: Were you in like your twenties. No, you in thirties forties.

488
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 4: Oh I wasn't it. I was like in thirties, thirties, Okay,

489
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 4: it's like like early thirties. Like like I'm just saying,

490
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: was it early thirties? Probably, But a young.

491
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: Man, a young successful man who was an artist, was

492
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: in his thirties, who was involved in any kind of cheating,

493
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: scandal or whatever you call whatever the thing is. It's

494
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: not the craziest or most uncommon thing. It's not like

495
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: it's not like you robbed the bank or you did

496
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: you did you violated you know, or it was violent

497
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: or it was nothing like that. I mean, you had.

498
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 4: Some things are often always.

499
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's it's a it was a lot

500
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: to put on you for just a time in your

501
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: life where some maybe human error, maybe not error, maybe

502
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 1: that had to happen for you to get to wherever

503
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: you are now or to get into another marriage that

504
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: you probably did better and got, you know, and healed yourself.

505
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I'm just saying, do you feel

506
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: like a lot was put on you for the crime? No?

507
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: Dead, like seriously, Like there's a way I answer that question.

508
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: And it's like if I answered okay, so I.

509
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: Don't want to get you back in trouble or something that's.

510
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, no no no. At the time, like I said,

511
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 4: I felt, I felt like all of the.

512
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 3: What's the word, I'm looking for admonishment, I'm receiving my actions.

513
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 4: I felt like I.

514
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: Deserve them, really, and in retrospect, looking back, I'm feeling like, wow,

515
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 3: that was a lot. But if that hadn't happened, I

516
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't have been able to evolve to where I'm

517
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: at today, and I don't know if I would be.

518
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 4: The personality that.

519
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 3: I feel inside and that is reflected when people see

520
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: me online. So it's like, you know, just no poetic

521
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 3: way of saying, there is no excellence without difficulty. There's

522
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 3: no growth without struggle and fucking up and falling on

523
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: your face sometimes people in front of the whole fucking world,

524
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 3: which I don't I don't really think anybody will ever

525
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 3: understand what that's like. I mean, you've lived a very

526
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: public life and sometimes.

527
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: Something but not that. That's why I'm curious about it,

528
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: because even in the smaller scale that I have experienced

529
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: things where maybe people didn't like something I said or

530
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: something was misunderstood. Even in those moments, I have to

531
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 1: get quiet and make sure that I'm okay with myself, yeah,

532
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: so that I don't fall victim to other people's understanding

533
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: of whatever the thing is right even in my small situations.

534
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: And I've been pretty good in my career, you know God,

535
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: because of God. But I'm just saying at that level,

536
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: I just wonder, man, he got to be rocked through.

537
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 3: That, because in that moment, you felt like if you

538
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 3: misunderstood and you communicated in inappropriately like then it would

539
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: bring another rush of I think you're saying.

540
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: No. I think in that moment, if I wasn't strong

541
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: in my own spirit, in my own thoughts, I could

542
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: start believing or start acting differently, trying to either prove

543
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: something to somebody or okay or self doubt sets it

544
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: all that, all the shit, all the stuff that comes

545
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: from outside opinions. And I say I share this kind

546
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: of stuff because I think even on people's in people's

547
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: real life at the job, everybody in the job thinks

548
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: you're something. I think that thing we're talking about you

549
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: had it on a very big scale.

550
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 4: A cataclysmic scale, yes.

551
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: But that might feel like that to somebody else who

552
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: maybe everybody at the job knows true. How about the

553
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: guy who was how about the guy who was at

554
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 1: the Coldplay concert with the girl from the job. Did

555
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: you see that?

556
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 4: Did you imagine like you had? No, you went from

557
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: zero to one hundred and twenty. Yeah, you had your

558
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 4: own little private bubble of life and then woosh.

559
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that guy or even that girl, everybody's

560
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: attention on you sometimes, I don't know, just gets in

561
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: your own way, And I think I think people have

562
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: to navigate that on their own levels or whatever levels,

563
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: And I just think somebody who had to deal with

564
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: it in such a grand way, like understanding how you

565
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: manage that is interesting to me, like more so than

566
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: the details of all of the things, but that you

567
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: navigated that and learned from us.

568
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: So life is it's like.

569
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 3: Whatever whatever is thrown your way, it's like you have

570
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: two opportunity, No, you really have three opportunities.

571
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 4: There's always drugs. How's that bad?

572
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: Okay? Wait did you you didn't? You didn't go that route?

573
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: No, what was the route?

574
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: What was the route for healing for you?

575
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: Accountability time, trying to trying to make amends as much

576
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 3: as I possibly possibly could, but with yourself, with myself,

577
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 3: with her, with my family, uh, with with everybody who

578
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 3: and friends, everybody who was around me who I felt

579
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: like I just let down, and with myself, and and.

580
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 4: Then going through that process, then there's time.

581
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 3: You know, then there's then there's just quite And remember

582
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: at the time, it was like I was a single

583
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 3: dad to my daughter, and then it was like, okay.

584
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: It was that situation where I gotta, you know, hey,

585
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 3: you fucked up. Let's get it together, because look who's

586
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 3: waking up every morning and smiling and laughing and looking

587
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: for breakfast.

588
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 4: So whenever I'm in her face, I can't be like.

589
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh damn, I fuck my life up.

590
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: Ship, I gotta be. I still gotta be happy daddy.

591
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: And so that was an incredible not just catalysts, but

592
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: the whole nucleus of get your ship together. Nigga, Yes

593
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 3: you fell down, so what blah blah, get up, get up,

594
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: get up?

595
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: You fucked up. You know, look at look at that face.

596
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: So you know, that's not a very easy thing for

597
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: And I don't want to just put this on men,

598
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: because I do know a lot of women who struggle

599
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: with this also, but apologize. Accountability and apologizing it's not

600
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: always easy for people. Was that easy for you before

601
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: or in life or did you have to learn how

602
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: to do that? But you were forced to so I think, well,

603
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: you had a lot of siblings, so sometimes that helps.

604
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I got a lot of siblings. I'm

605
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 3: the baby of those siblings, so that may have had

606
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: something to do with me fucking up in the first place.

607
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Is that attention just like that?

608
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 4: Yeah?

609
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I think apologizing for me when I know

610
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, I don't.

611
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 4: I don't think think. I don't think that was my struggle.

612
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 4: I think like acting like everything was cool when it wasn't.

613
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: I have historically been good with that until the carhouse

614
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 3: comes falling down and then I'm.

615
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: Like, holy fuck, I'm not okay.

616
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: I'm not okay, and I fucked up. And then once

617
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 4: that happens, apologies is very natural. Accountability is the next,

618
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: like I said, other than drugs and alcohol, you have

619
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 4: to face reality. And yeah, the reality is like you

620
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 4: built this.

621
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: What's on the other side of that, like, what's the

622
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: next phase.

623
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: What's on the other side is a bit more fearlessness

624
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 3: for doing good stuff.

625
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,479
Speaker 1: You know, never a fear of like I don't know,

626
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: slipping back into old habits or old.

627
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 4: No, no, no, But you know.

628
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 3: What it did was before all that happened, I think

629
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 3: I had a fear of failure. It's almost like it

630
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: was an inoculation to a fear of failure, you know,

631
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 3: because I was just it was a readiness to try

632
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 3: new things and a confidence to meet people.

633
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 4: I met my wife.

634
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: How old when you imit your wife? Thirties? Thirties? Right?

635
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 4: Well, no, and by that time I was I think

636
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 4: I was forty maybe maybe.

637
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so a new evolution of.

638
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 4: A new had kids.

639
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 3: We have Luna and Lucia who are fourteen and eleven now,

640
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: and they are brilliant. And India is just a brilliant

641
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: woman now. And yeah, so I think there's always strength

642
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 3: after you do the work, you know.

643
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that must have been that must have been

644
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: really joyful for you to find love after being going

645
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: through all of that, going through publicly being down, having

646
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: to get up, raising your daughter, and then actually finding

647
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: love and being healed. It's beautiful, you know what I'm saying.

648
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: Because it's probably a different experience because if you go

649
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: into a marriage or relationship unhealed from the beginning, it

650
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: can't feel as good as going into a relationship healed.

651
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: Very true, and one of the most incredible things about

652
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:08,240
Speaker 3: this time around is so with my oldest daughter India,

653
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 3: I didn't have a partner. I have my family helping

654
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 3: me out.

655
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 4: Now I have a partner who is you know who?

656
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 3: These two little incredible humans are the most important things

657
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 3: in her life as well.

658
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: So you have to share that lived experience. Yeah.

659
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's wonderful and you know it's it's just it's

660
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 4: a joyous experience.

661
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: Are you a good husband?

662
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 7: I try to be come on, you know, if you

663
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 7: are in that Yeah, yeah, And I think.

664
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 3: I think there's especially in this business. I think when

665
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 3: when you are traveling as much as you are, when

666
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 3: you are away from you want to be there for

667
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: everything and you're not, and sometimes your kids don't understand.

668
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: And she, my wife, Manuela, is incredible. She's one of

669
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 3: those like attentive to every detailed person and I'm kind

670
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: of like the opposite. So I think being a good

671
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 3: husband is you know, a big part of that too.

672
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: And you know, I think I can always do better

673
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 3: when it comes.

674
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 4: To that, But overall, overall, I think I think so, Yeah,

675
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 4: I think so. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna say

676
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 4: in an emphatic yes, what have you.

677
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: Learned about that? Like? What is the lesson? Like? What

678
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: have you learned? Like what did it take to be

679
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: a good husband?

680
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: Probably uh, going through the challenges of not being a

681
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 3: good person, right, And I think.

682
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 4: That's always the case. It's like, who is that talking to?

683
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 4: I was talking to a buddy.

684
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Of mine about mm hmmm.

685
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: I remember a buddy of mine and said he was

686
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: introducing me to his friend and he said, hey, his

687
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: friend was about to get married. And my buddy said, hey,

688
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: let me introduce you to my buddy, Eric Beney, like,

689
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,399
Speaker 3: ask him all the questions you know about marriage and this.

690
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: That and the other.

691
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 3: And this was before, this was shortly after, shortly after my.

692
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 4: First marriage ended in and he wanted you to give

693
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: him advice exactly.

694
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 3: And his friend, after his friend looked at him and said, hey,

695
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: no offense, but I mean I just heard about what happened,

696
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 3: and it's like, bro, I.

697
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 4: Don't know if I want advice from you.

698
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: And my friend looked at him and he said, do

699
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 3: if you're on a motorcycle and you're riding a mall

700
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: hall and drive. Who better to ask for advice on

701
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: how to maneuver that shit then the motherfucker who just

702
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 3: ran off the edge.

703
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 4: So I I think there's a bit of it.

704
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: In that spirit. And I've heard your respond to this before,

705
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 1: but that spirit can you laugh at or someone appreciates

706
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: the never go Eric bin aline or is that a

707
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're saying the same thing, Eric, it's

708
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing you're saying.

709
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 3: What's funny about that is there was this perception and

710
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: there was even some reporting that you were upset about it,

711
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 3: not just upset but apoplectic like like like screaming about it.

712
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: And oh I didn't see that.

713
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the other thing.

714
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: Sometimes we see shit like I see ship, and if

715
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: I see it, I think everybody sees it.

716
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 4: It was just a good So.

717
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah you spasing you you you hate j Z?

718
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 4: Like I was like, yo, jay Z mention me, So

719
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:48,479
Speaker 4: did you really are.

720
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:53,439
Speaker 1: You that far removed from that guy that you're Yes, yeah.

721
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was like, I mean me and my team

722
00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 4: we got together, it was like this shit crazy. So yeah,

723
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 4: there was no like animosity about that that ship. That

724
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 4: ship was quite funny.

725
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: And then I thought I was being cute with a

726
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: response on back then Twitter and it kind of backfired.

727
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: Who was the response, I don't remember.

728
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 4: It was something something that was funny, some funny that

729
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 4: I thought, Oh, like I thought.

730
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: I was living my life.

731
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you said something I thought was funny.

732
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: And it was like I was looking at the comments.

733
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I should have shut the fuck up.

734
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: But you weren't somewhere sitting somewhere angry.

735
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 4: I was in It was funny. I was in Cuba.

736
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I was in Cuba and there were these

737
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 4: articles talking about how I was so angry and I

738
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 4: was so Spanish. No, no, like you were looking at

739
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 4: back home. Yeah, like how Eric Benee is definitely upset

740
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 4: about what happened, and we were like chilling in Havana

741
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: with cigars and ship, having a good time, laughing about

742
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 4: the whole thing. And it's just funny how the media

743
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: will take something and sure, yeah.

744
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: You know, none of those things, those ups and downs

745
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: and those moments have stopped you from kind of just

746
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: continuing to I don't know, just the channel and you

747
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: have to, yeah, you have to.

748
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, that's part of it.

749
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 3: Man, you just gotta like because whatever is happening, there's

750
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 3: like a perception of what actually happened, and ninety times

751
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 3: out of one hundred, the reality is something completely different.

752
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 3: So you can't react to people reacting to something that

753
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 3: they think is.

754
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: Yea, they get it.

755
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 4: You feel me.

756
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: But now you're in this space where you've created a

757
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 1: whole social media personality that you have that we didn't

758
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: know that you had internally, but you never showed us

759
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: on the outside. So everybody thinks there's like a.

760
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 3: New Yeah, they thinks a new Your dasked Alison. Alison

761
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 3: is the one right over there who gave me my

762
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 3: first record deal. She signed me to Warner brother The

763
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 3: whole time when I got that deal that she gave it.

764
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 1: To, all the ups and downs we're talking about, she

765
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: was riding right there Passenger Sea.

766
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's known that.

767
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:20,479
Speaker 3: I'm basically I'll run into somebody like Fuzzy and you'll

768
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 3: be like, yo, Eric, this is the same nigga.

769
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 4: This is Eric finally.

770
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: So that's funny. Was it surprise to you how people

771
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: have responded to you on socials? Surprising?

772
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 3: I would say it wasn't surprising as it was It

773
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 3: just felt affirming, you know, I felt like, wow, yeah,

774
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 3: I guess this is this has been me the whole time.

775
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 3: It feels really good for people to just like me,

776
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 3: you know, without me trying to like put on some

777

Speaker 3: time and I hadn't had something new out in eight years,

827
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 3: and I decided to Allison, was like, Nigga, you need

828
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: to get your ass back in the studio into an album,

829
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 3: but we need to make it special. Let's look at

830
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 3: some of your biggest successes have been duets, so let's

831
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 3: make a whole you know, spend my Life and Georgia

00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 3: Porge and so we did a whole album that way,

833
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 3: and I'm extremely proud of it. Now we have a

834
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 3: new single for a solo project to that. I need

835
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 3: to get back to La and put some finishing energy on,

836
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 3: a lot of finishing energy on and.

837
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 4: No features, just you, no features so far. And it's.

838
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 3: The first single I feel really good about because it's

839
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:19,280
Speaker 3: really an extension of a lot of my political animus

840
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 3: on social media, like telling people, yo, let's we're stronger together,

841
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 3: please stop being silent, like please speak out against the division,

842
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: the subjugation, the trying to rewrite history and erase our rights.

843
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 3: You know, we gotta fight against that. So the single

844
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 3: Who's going to Save Us is all about that.

845
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: It's good.

846
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. Got in the studio with my man

847
00:46:56,080 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 3: DJ Camper Felly, the voice, incredible songwriters and producers, and

848
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 3: we came up with this joint.

849
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: I love that. Who is going to save us?

850
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:06,879
Speaker 4: We are?

851
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: We are only we can't, Kelly, how do we do it?

852
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: What's the first thing?

853
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 3: Well, we've done it multiple times in history. And the

854
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 3: crazy part about it is how the powers that be

855
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 3: they keep using the same fucking formula and it keeps working.

856
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 3: The divide and conquer. Let's know, let's get them to

857
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: fight against each other and then we can rob them

858
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 3: and we can take away even more of their rights.

859
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 4: So then they'll start fighting even more and we'll get.

860
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 3: Even richer, and now we can be trillionaires and they'll

861
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 3: think we're superpowers.

862
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 4: And you know, so I.

863
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 1: Even see it with like what they're doing. I don't know.

864
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I see people going at each other and I

865
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: wonder where the roots of this And a lot of

866
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: times when you track some of that, I wonder if

867
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 1: that's even real. Like I feel like there's just so

868
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: many bots in AI systems that are literally set up

869
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: to your point to divide and conquer.

870
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 4: You're one hundred percent right.

871
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so scary and it's so wild to watch

872
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: how people play right into it so easy.

873
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 3: What's especially frustrating to me is two things are going

874
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 3: to be needed, which it seems lately we haven't been

875
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 3: tapping into the realization that how powerful we are as

876
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 3: individuals and to be at least marginally educated. That doesn't

877
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 3: have to mean you had you gotta you know, have

878
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 3: a PhD or even graduate from college. But you've got

879
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 3: to read.

880
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 4: You gotta read.

881
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 3: History, the history that they're trying to erase. You have

882
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 3: to fill your brain with knowledge, and it's it's it's

883
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 3: disappointing sometimes.

884
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 4: Oh man, I'm gonna again. I'm going to sound like

885
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 4: the old crudgeon, old man right now.

886
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: It's all right, you got good skin, you can get

887
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: away with it. But I don't know if you're experiencing this,

888
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 1: tell me.

889
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: But sometimes if you talk to nineteen twenty twenty one

890
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 3: year old, it's like there's certain sometimes and unfortunately for me,

891
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 3: it's more than not. You know, I work with a

892
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 3: lot of young people in the music industry, and like

893
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 3: basic general knowledge stuff, it's like they're clueless.

894
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 1: About They don't even teach kids how to write and script.

895
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: That's bruh, Yeah, they don't even teach that. And it's

896
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 1: it's sometimes like I have younger family members or somebody

897
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: young and I'm like, should I write this in script

898
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: or should I? Are they going to be able to

899
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: read this?

900
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 4: Because is this three syllables?

901
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a simple little thing, let alone

902
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: the important things.

903
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, scary and that that's we're going to need those

904
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 4: two things.

905
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 3: If we are going to save ourselves. You got to

906
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 3: empower your brain and empower yourself. And there's so many

907
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 3: other things attached to that, like taking care of your body.

908
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: But yeah, what does the Eric Brene a self care

909
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: regiment look like? Because you would have to take care

910
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: of yourself to be as.

911
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 6: Immersed especially in this is political climate and all that

912
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 6: and everything that's happening in the world.

913
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: Because you immerse yourself. Some of us do a dance

914
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: as much as we can and just try to balance

915
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: a normal life. Understand, you don't your blinders are never on,

916
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: you know. Some of I put blinders on sometimes not

917
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,800
Speaker 1: for long period, just long enough to have my sanity.

918
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: Then I'll go back and pay attention and do my

919
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: work and research and you know, but I do sometimes

920
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: have to find ways to put blinders on.

921
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 6: But there are people like even the people who do

922
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 6: ground like my friend to make a mallory or people

923
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 6: who are.

924
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: Never without blinders. I think, oh, that's that's hard, Like

925
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 1: you have to.

926
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 6: Find a way to who And I feel like you

927
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 6: probably have your own ways exercise or whatever, ways to

928
00:50:54,360 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 6: put blinders on, even for a little bit of time,

929
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 6: but you seem like you're in it pretty much.

930
00:50:59,360 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 1: All the time.

931
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 4: Yeah. Some of my friends are like, dude, why are

932
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 4: you watching news so much? It's just bringing you down?

933
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 4: And it does, but it does bring me down, but

934
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 4: it also it just kind of like it makes me vocal.

935
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 4: It makes me vocal. You've got to be aware of

936
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 4: this stuff. It's like it's like I'm forever. I think

937
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 4: it'll be one hundred, two hundred years from now, and

938
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,879
Speaker 4: if there's if we are still alive as a civilization,

939
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 4: they will be studying as to how was it possible

940
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 4: that somebody who has so repeatedly failed in their life,

941
00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 4: and has had such a void of any moral compass

942
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 4: or character, or ethics, or care or concern for history

943
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 4: or anything other than his own self ingrandizement, how did

944
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 4: he become president? And it's like.

945
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 3: The formula, the formula, the I don't know, distract, the distract, divide,

946
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 3: and we got and and I think that again.

947
00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 4: I'll say it again.

948
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 3: The only effective anecdote for that is education and self empowerment.

949
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: What about self care for you? Like, so, what do

950
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: you do? How do you take cas? How do you

951
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 1: keep your mind?

952
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 4: Gotta drink your water and I cut out alcohol.

953
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: Really none zero.

954
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 3: I would say once every couple of months, I'll have

955
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 3: a glass of wine. You gotta cut out as much

956
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 3: sugar as you possibly can.

957
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 4: Look if it's if I'm down South and it's some

958
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 4: peach cobbler right there, and I know I haven't had

959
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,919
Speaker 4: dessert in like a month, I'm a fuck that peach

960
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 4: cobbler up right. But I mean, for the most part,

961
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 4: I think I have to.

962
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 3: Really monitor and manage sugar intake processed foods. I try

963
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:15,919
Speaker 3: to maintain a relatively pescatarian diet. Sardines are good, blueberries, yeah,

964
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 3: try to cut out dairy. I work out four times

965
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 3: a week, and we.

966
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: Kind of work out, not heavy weights, like weight training or.

967
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,800
Speaker 3: A lot of calisenic stuff, some weight stuff, you know,

968
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 3: I'll try. I'll try to do like one hundred push

969
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 3: ups a night, and then I'll do my workout in

970
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 3: the morning.

971
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 5: You know.

972
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: So this doesn't just happen at sixty, right, this is

973
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: time you look at six. This is just not this

974
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,759
Speaker 1: is not genetics, not for me, not for you.

975
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 4: You work hard to yeah, yeah, because I mean it's

976
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 4: just a matter of your your natural bodily functions that

977
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 4: if you don't do it, then your muscles will year

978
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 4: by year, you'll lose.

979
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,920
Speaker 3: More and more percentage of your muscles and your bone

980
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 3: density if you're not counteracting it with diet and exercise

981
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,320
Speaker 3: and grounding, grounding, stay connected.

982
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 4: To the earth.

983
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: How do you do that?

984
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 4: Take your shoes off and just you still barefoot? Eric Beney, See,

985
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 4: I told you some truth to that shit. There is true.

986
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 4: I might say a couple of squear words if I

987
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,239
Speaker 4: stub my toe, but I mean, yeah, no, but I

988
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:35,319
Speaker 4: mean there's undeniable scientific evidence that if you have skin

989
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 4: to skin contact with the soil, the earth, the sand,

990
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 4: it lowers the inflammation in your body and it promotes

991
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 4: a general well being.

992
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: And where do you do Where do you go out

993
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,719
Speaker 1: at home? I guess right in the backyard.

994
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 3: Are you having your coffee in the morning, take your

995
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,759
Speaker 3: well I get in la. You can do it year round.

996
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 3: I take my shoes off and I drink my coffee

997
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 3: outside in the backyard barefoot foot.

998
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's so funny. I started golfing a

999
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: few years ago and I went to golf maybe a

1000
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: year ago with someone and he was barefoot the whole time.

1001
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: And I was kind of like making fun of him.

1002
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 4: And did he tell you why?

1003
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: He just said, there's only some places that use, only

1004
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: a few places in the world that you can do it,

1005
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: so he chose to do it. We were I think

1006
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: we were in the Bahamas and he was golfing barefoot,

1007
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: and we were just joking. We were like teasing. It was,

1008
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: you know, funny, but I really thought I could try that.

1009
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: There might be something to that.

1010
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 4: You should.

1011
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,640

Speaker 1: This is a voice not our voicenote segment.

1038
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 4: Who do we have Eddie here?

1039
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 2: I'm a girl, dad, My thirteen year old girl just

1040
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 2: started dating. I'm already having nine minions about it. But

1041
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:56,399
Speaker 2: I've been having this thought specifically about her bringing home

1042
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 2: a man, him cheating on her, and then having it

1043
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: with that situation like her wanting to take him back

1044
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 2: as something. What do you think I should say in

1045
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 2: that situation? What do you think I should do if

1046
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,120
Speaker 2: my baby girl brings home a man who cheats on

1047
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 2: her and then wants to stay with him?

1048
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1049
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: That's a very specific question.

1050
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 4: That is very very specific, And there's a couple issues

1051
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:24,720
Speaker 4: about the question. You're thirteen year old daughter.

1052
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: She shouldn't be dating at all.

1053
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 4: She should hell fuck no, what did.

1054
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: They start to date? I don't think he said she was.

1055
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: I think he said he has a fear of that

1056
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: this would happen. Okay, then good.

1057
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 4: Here's the question.

1058
00:57:37,600 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 3: You ain't got shit to worry about till she's sixteen

1059
00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 3: and then what and then if she brings home a

1060
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 3: guy who cheats.

1061
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: On her, yeah, or is a bad guy.

1062
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 4: Then you have until.

1063
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: One to she's sixteen years old to be the representation

1064
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 3: of the kind of guy you want her to bring home.

1065
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:02,479
Speaker 3: And one or two bad ones might slip through, because

1066
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: that is definitely not a fail safe plan there and

1067
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 3: when that happens, you have until one until sixteen years

1068
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 3: old to have the kind of relationship with your daughter

1069
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 3: where she's going to come to you and talk to

1070
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 3: you about what she's going through. You are not going

1071
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 3: to be able to control a sixteen year old daughter.

1072
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 4: She's going to have.

1073
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 3: First of all, she's female, so she's going to have

1074
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 3: all kinds of ways to make you think she's doing

1075
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: what you asked her to do, but she ain't really

1076
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 3: going to be doing it. So you, as much as

1077
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 3: you would like to be the absolute control of that situation.

1078
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 4: He's not going to be. So he's got time to

1079
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 4: arm her with love.

1080
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: Do you have that relationship with your kids?

1081
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 4: I'd imagine yeah, And I'm trying to.

1082
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 3: You know, we've got a couple more years to go

1083
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 3: with Lucia. I've got four or five more years with Luna,

1084
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 3: and I'm trying to every day have a better relationship

01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: I feel like that too my kids. Yeah, they get

1117
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: you there because because you're trying to be the best

1118
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: version of you, it's not trying to be so they're

1119
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: forcing you to be a better version of yourself simply

1120
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: by just existing.

1121
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:09,439
Speaker 4: And simply by them being existing. By them existing, Yeah,

1122
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 4: you are having to underscore lessons that you've learned and

1123
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 4: things like as you're teaching them things you're like, yeah,

1124
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 4: I think I needed to hear that too.

1125
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: Has anybody ever given you good parenting advice?

1126
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 3: The best parenting advice is try to share as share

1127
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 3: as much of your life with your children as age

1128
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 3: appropriately as you can during their journey of growing up,

1129
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 3: so that it's very natural for them. Once they get

1130
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 3: to that sixteen, it'll be like, I guess what happened?

1131
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 3: You know, I won't feel like such a weird thing

1132
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 3: for them.

1133
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Do you do that with your kids? Do do?

1134
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 4: I tried?

1135
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: You tried to?

1136
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 4: Ye?

1137
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: I agree? I agree? Good good, good good advice. Childhood. Okay,

1138
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: we're going to those some I r L questions. We

1139
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:57,880

01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 4: I think so I wasn't an asshole enough?

1147
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Why would you be an asshole? Are you an asshole? Sometimes?

1148
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't think what would make you like, what would

1149
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: happen in your day that would make hm? It's funny

1150
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: because when I ask people questions, I go through this

1151
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: thing in my mind where I want to can I

1152
01:02:24,800 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: answer that? So I was going to ask you what

1153
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: were you really? Sometimes yes, especially if it's like a

1154
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: question like that that I just think on the spot.

1155
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: It's almost like I try to be like, is that

1156
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: a fair question to ask? Could you answer that in

1157
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: your own fair questions? So if I say to you,

1158
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: what would make you be an asshole in your day?

1159
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 1: Then I'm saying to myself what would make me? And

1160
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: I was I was a little bit of an asshole yesterday?

1161
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 4: I think what would make me? And I first, why

1162
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 4: were you an asshole yesterday?

1163
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:59,959
Speaker 1: I was really overwhelmed with life yesterday, just personal shit, work, ship,

1164
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: it too much on my plate. Hadn't had five minutes

1165
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 1: to just do don't.

1166
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 4: Make anybody an asshole? And that was gonna be my answer.

1167
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Well, that was what it was. It still shouldn't be

1168
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: an asshole because it's not anybody else's fault.

1169
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:17,000

Speaker 3: People like that, people who.

1205
01:04:56,080 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 4: Just seem as though their talent exceeds human and expectation.

1206
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 4: Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, Prince. When you meet these people,

1207
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 4: in my experience, they always seem to be the most

1208
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 4: attentive and they make you feel like when they're talking

1209
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 4: to you, you're the only person in the world, and it's.

1210
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 1: Just like, really, okay, well I want to know how

1212
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,320

01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1214
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: What is that that they do? Why do you think

1215
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: they do that?

1216
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 4: I think it's just they are so successful because in

1217
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:47,920
Speaker 4: any given moment, they are so present And it's not

1218
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 4: just that I think it's love. I think they have

1219
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 4: so much. You can't be a conduit for that much.

1220
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 3: Creativity and power if there's just not a whole lot

1221
01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 3: of love in your being. Now you may have your

1222
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 3: own personal challenges challenges, but it's all packaged in love

1223
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 3: and trying to become a better person.

1224
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: God wouldn't give you a gift that strong, exactly if

1225
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 1: there was no love in there. Yeah.

1226
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 3: So Stevie, I've been blessed in my life to say

1227
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,480
Speaker 3: that he is somebody who I can call and talk to.

1228
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 3: I still pinch myself with that realization. But he's just

1229
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 3: a being of love. He called me, well, actually, my

1230
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:43,160
Speaker 3: wife told me Stevie's going to call you about four o'clock. Like,

1231
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 3: oh shit, what I do?

1232
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: Wait, has Stevie have you ever gotten that call from No?

1233
01:06:49,200 --> 01:06:51,120
Speaker 4: I've never gotten this call from Stevie.

1234
01:06:51,320 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: H No, just like if you've done something that's like

1235
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:54,360
Speaker 1: call you with the cell.

1236
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 4: No, but there's something about tone.

1237
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: Okay, now you know your wife's stone. Yeah.

1238
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 4: So actually I was supposed to call him.

1239
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 3: So I called him, and basically where he was coming

1240
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 3: from was he seeing some of the posts.

1241
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 4: And his sentiment was like, Eric, look my young brother.

1242
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 2: I know that.

1243
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 3: We're all angry and disheartened, but I fear that he

1244
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 3: was basically saying, you coming on a little hard and

1245
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,840
Speaker 3: I'm worried about how crazy some of these motherfuckers are

1246
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:33,840
Speaker 3: out there, not his words mine.

1247
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're paraphrasing.

1248
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1249
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 3: He was like, those who are on the side of

1250
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 3: that negativity, they are crazy motherfuckers, and why don't you

1251
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 3: put and put all of that anger into music. So

1252
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 3: he was coming to me as like the older uncle brother,

1253
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 3: like I don't want you to get out there and

1254
01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 3: somebody do some stupid shit to you because it's something

1255
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 3: you said. And then and then, and then two days later,

1256
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 3: I went into the studio and wrote die Pedal.

1257
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,920
Speaker 1: So where is that song?

1258
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 3: Where that is a song I never officially released, but

1259
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 3: I was just in the studio one day, angry and

1260
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 3: thinking about what Stevie said, put it in music. Huh,

1261
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 3: all right, I'm gonna write die Pedal and maybe I'll

1262
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 3: throw it on the album.

1263
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1264
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:32,839
Speaker 3: I know they might very very well for you already

1265
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 3: very well maybe them, But I mean I was I

1266
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 3: was so grateful for the call, and I think I really,

1267
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 3: I really took it to heart. And I won't say

1268
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:47,599
Speaker 3: that it made me change what I say, but maybe

1269
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 3: I think about how I say it sometime.

1270
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: That makes sense because when you think of Stevie, you know,

1271
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: he's the loves in need of love today.

1272
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 4: He's but not only that, so many generations of this

1273
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 4: same movement he's seen and he's seen some of the

1274
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 4: soldiers get taken out.

1275
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 1: Not that.

1276
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 3: Please, I'm not saying I'm a soldier and I don't

1277
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 3: think he would. Well, I guess in some ways I am,

1278
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 3: and he wasn't. I don't know, maybe he was. But

1279
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:15,759
Speaker 3: I'm grateful for the conversation.

1280
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Did shift anything in you or no? Because you haven't

1281
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: really slowed up that much slowed up. But I.

1282
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 3: That thought is conscious in my head every time, like

1283
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,759
Speaker 3: I be like, okay, curb your rage.

1284
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 4: Curb your rage.

1285
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 3: So I'll be thinking about oh so long, I'll be

1286
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 3: thinking about Stevie.

1287
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 4: Now that's really going to post.

1288
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: So Stevie he's a bucket list guest for me on

1289
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:46,840
Speaker 1: the pod.

1290
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 3: He is a beautiful, godlike soul because he's all about

1291
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,559
Speaker 3: I care for you, I care for this world.

1292
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 4: I want we. He is the message of who's going

1293
01:09:59,080 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 4: to save us.

1294
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 3: It's like we all need to collectively join our positive

1295
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 3: energy if we're ever going to overcome the negative forces

1296
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:13,840
Speaker 3: of this world. And his message is do it without

1297
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 3: the rage, but do it from a place of love.

1298
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: That's Steedie beautiful.

1320
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 3: to be there for this historic event. And then after

1321
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 3: the inauguration, there's all kinds of little pockets of things happening.

1322
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 4: And I was at some place I don't remember where

1323
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 4: I was, but somebody said, hey, Dick Gregory's back there,

1324
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 4: and there's about thirty people back there, and I was like,

Speaker 4: oh shit, excuse me, I want to I want to

1326
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 4: go meet Dick Gregory. And when I walked back, I

1327
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,240
Speaker 4: quietly like stood at the back of the room and

1328
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 4: he was commanding the people, as Dick Gregory does, and

1329
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 4: he was just saying how he was talking about his

1330
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 4: his his his regimen of health. And he was basically saying,

01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 3: when I when I make the decision, when I made

1374
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 3: the decision to take care of my health, I can

1375
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:24,840
Speaker 3: be pretty. I can stick to that pretty with you know,

1376
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 3: consistency in varying degrees about five years ago. You know

1377
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 3: some things It's taken me the last couple of years

1378
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,320
Speaker 3: to like just lock into like a workout, a cutout, alcohol,

1379
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 3: I eat.

1380
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: Right, what's a habit inspiring to me? Because that means

1381
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: I could go do that today?

1382
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 4: You absolutely can't.

1383
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's inspiring. I do take care of myself in

1384
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 1: certain ways, but I could do a lot of things

1385
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot better. So you made me feel like from

1386
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: now to five years from now, I could really make

1387
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 1: a significant.

1388
01:14:54,960 --> 01:14:57,280

01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 4: gotta put this on camera. But do you drink? I do? Yeah,

1390
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 4: So I know it's difficult because.

1391
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 3: Like a couple of years, like maybe three years ago,

1392
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,479
Speaker 3: I would have to have like two shots of Scotch.

1393
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: No, No, I'm not a drinker like that. I drink.

1394

1398
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 1: shots I would want to do, but there's always sugar,

1399
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:35,360
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's alcohol and the sugar together.

1400
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not good.

Speaker 4: Okay, let's call him Shondo.

1577
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,360
Speaker 1: If God would have text you right now, what would

1578
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: it say?

1579
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:55,719
Speaker 2: WHOA?

1580
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,720
Speaker 4: Never got that question before? Angie? Where'd you get that?

1581
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,439
Speaker 1: I don't know. We came up with it, and I

1582
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: don't know early in the pod. It just came up.

1583
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:06,960
Speaker 1: I think it. It just says a lot about what

1584
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,439
Speaker 1: you truly care about, you know, like what's truly really

1585
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 1: important to you today? If the text came today, like

1586
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: what would it say?

1587
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,479
Speaker 4: I would think that God would tell me.

1588
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: To shit muslump, dude, think about it. You don't have

1589
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,799
Speaker 1: to rush it. I was just thinking, in true fashion

1590
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:35,960
Speaker 1: of me making sure I can answer a question. I

1591
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,760
Speaker 1: think my text today would probably it would be to

1592
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: the effect that something about my text today would be

1593
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: like you did great because you trusted me. Mmm, so

1594
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 1: just keep doing that.

1595
01:25:55,240 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 3: I think my idea of God is like somebody who

1596
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 3: a being who is is loving and encouraging, as opposed

1597
01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:10,400
Speaker 3: to like First Testament type shit.

1598
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: H you're not a religious guy.

1599
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 4: No spiritual No, absolutely, I do believe in God. I

1600
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:19,360
Speaker 4: believe in the power of love and positivity, and I

1601
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 4: think negativity is a very powerful evil force. I think

1602
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,600
Speaker 4: that God would say something to me like I love you,

1603
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:35,880
Speaker 4: but he would probably say something that I would understand,

1604
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:41,599
Speaker 4: like I love you, but even more, and I would

1605
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 4: know exactly what he meant.

1606
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:43,840
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

1607
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:48,160
Speaker 3: That means like all the positive all the positivity I'm

1608
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:53,640
Speaker 3: trying to uh grow from and speak on, Like, do

1609
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 3: it even more? Like all of the projects that you're

1610
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 3: working on that you think can help or uplift put

1611
01:27:02,840 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 3: more into it. You know, all of the energy that

1612
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,760
Speaker 3: you spend with your children where you're nurturing them and

1613
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:14,560
Speaker 3: and and teaching them to respect and love themselves and

1614
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 3: realize that they can do anything.

1615
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 4: Do that even more. I think it'd be something like that,

1616
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:23,599
Speaker 4: do more, do more? That's so you think?
