That's my Homi. 702 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,479 Speaker 1: He's he's like I learned from him, the real degenerate life. 703 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: Like he's he's he's won millions, millions and a weekend stretch. 704 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,760 Speaker 1: There is like real like strategy if you really gamble 705 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 1: the right way, that all it's luck base, But there 706 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: is certain things like roulette. There's certain ways you could 707 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,360 Speaker 1: play exactly where you have like an advantage on the 708 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: house if you got a big enough bank roll. That's 709 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 1: the only the only advantage you have really in gambling. 710 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: You just have to have the bankroll, you know, don't 711 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: try to to be able to back your losses. Yeah, exactly. 712 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: So if you play, you playlet. Yeah. So have you 713 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 1: ever done the strategy where you bet two thirds at once? So, yeah, 714 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: the second, third, third, third, first second. Yeah, but on 715 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 1: the first song that's one of those two hits you're 716 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: and then if you lose, you triple each time, and 717 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: then when you eventually hit, that's like a slow, slow strategy. 718 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: You got to sit there. I like to drink, I 719 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: like to have you know. When I was living in Vegas, Yeah, 720 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,240 Speaker 1: that's what I would do. I'd go to like Fremont 721 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 1: Street where it was like it worked out for you mostly. Yeah, 722 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 1: but I'd be there for like five or six hours 723 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,239 Speaker 1: and be up like four hundred bucks. But for me 724 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 1: at the time, I was messing year. It's yeah, it's 725 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,879 Speaker 1: it's all relative. But Roulette's fun. I like to bet 726 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,800 Speaker 1: on the numbers because when that shit hits you just 727 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: get high. You're like, no, that's the dopamine hit of 728 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: winning in gam is like nothing else. Yeah, and that's 729 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 1: why it's a problem. Like when I watch sports and 730 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,720 Speaker 1: I have a bunch of money going on a fucking 731 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: game and it's close and I win, bro, it's like 732 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: I have thirty orgasms. Yeah, no, for real, that's what. 733 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 1: But that's why when I problem, that's why it's addicting. 734 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm fucking sick. Oh, I've been there. I've been there. Yeah, stumbach. 735 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: So my worst gambling stretches always had to do with sports, 736 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,880 Speaker 1: and it was always sports betting from my house. Yeah, 737 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: I've had some rough run when I gamble, man, I 738 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 1: really like to just have fun. If I'm there stressing 739 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:35,840 Speaker 1: or anything like that, it usually never works out for me. 740 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: And it's kind of a waste when you lose, because 741 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 1: it's like, damn, you didn't. So if you were up 742 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: to fifty in a night, the biggest worst night that 743 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 1: you've walked away, noise, nothing, nothing bad because I don't 744 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:49,439 Speaker 1: I'm not like doing anything crazy. Maybe you know ten 745 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: twenty thirty, I like that, but you know, everything, it 746 00:36:54,320 --> 00:37:02,160 Speaker 1: kind of all even I'd probably be divorced.

Well, those are also the 1026 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 1: type of artists that have high artistic integrities going to 1027 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,399 Speaker 1: don't want to work with someone and you can make 1028 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 1: the greatest music, but they don't want to work with 1029 00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:00,080 Speaker 1: you if you have any you know, they also like 1030 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 1: art the time.

And most of the time, you know, those 1035 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,279 Speaker 1: are artists that will really just get in there and 1036 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 1: just do it and create because they love music. It's 1037 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,520 Speaker 1: way I'm in.
