Speaker 2: Today we got an iconic voice of radio legend, legend

6
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: in the space. When he talks, you listen. The journey

7
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: is kind of out of a story, but from being

8
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: homeless to a bodyguard to a radio superstar, big when

9
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 2: you sit back and look at your journey, obviously, I

10
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: feel like when we're in the midst of our journey,

11
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: we never really take time and appreciate, you know, all

12
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: we've accomplished. But do you ever kind of sit back

13
00:00:58,640 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: like damn.

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: All the time? All the time? Bro, Like you know,

15
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: everybody come from it. People say it like it's just

16
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: a cliche phrase, but everybody come from humble beginnings, at

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: least the people that we messed with, you know what

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So there's times literally when I'm on the

19
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 3: air and I'll stop and I even tell the people

20
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: that's listening, like, man, I'm tripping, I'm tripping that I'm

26
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And there's times when I'll just

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 3: you know, my mom growing up seven kids, we have

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 3: bouts of homelessness. There's times I'm in my house and

29
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, this is your house, you know, and

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: then you get up and you move on. But I

31
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: trip off of it all the time.

41
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 3: it's not a movie, it's not He could just come

Speaker 3: in and you enjoy Snoop, you know what I'm saying.

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: So Dog is one of those man talking with Barack Obama.

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: Who would have thought, you know what I'm saying that

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 3: we have a black president. Then you have a guy

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: that does a hip hop morning show speaking with the

47
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 3: president of the United States. I get those where I

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: trip off of I'm on somebody's itinerary. So whoever it is,

49
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: you know, I know that the night before they're like,

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: oh man, I gotta get up and I gotta go

51
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: do big Boy in the morning. So that trips me out.

52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 3: So every interview that I have, all of them are

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: kind of special to me. I know that's a broad stroke,

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: but I interview by choice, you know what I'm saying,

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: and so the people that I choose to interview, I

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: enjoy having them in the neighborhood.

57
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: Let's dog GTA recently announced you'll have a radio station

58
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: on the game. How has GT I mean to me,

59
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: it's kind of crossed you into a new a younger demo. Yeah,

60
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: speak to you know what kind of that How that

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 2: partnership works out and you know how it continues to

62
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: expand your viewership.

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: I did. I did GTA five and so we had

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: my radio station. I think it was Los Santos in there.

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: I never played the game. They sent it to me

66
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: and I didn't even start the ship up you know

67
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I would play video games, but I

68
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,119
Speaker 3: know how to cast checks, you know what I'm saying.

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: So they hit me up and I know what it is.

70
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I know it's great for

71
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: my brand so on and so forth. So just getting

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: with GTA and I think it's Rockstar. That was like

73
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: it was an no brainer for me, you know. And

74
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: then the way that they centered a whole station around

75
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: you and all the dialogue, and there's people that probably

76
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: didn't even you know, some people that knew I had

77
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: a radio show anyway, it's like, oh, I listened to

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: your station on GTA. But also there's people that probably

79
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: didn't even know that I existed in this world until

80
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: they heard that, you know, and probably some of them

81
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: still don't know Big Boy's neighborhood. They just know that

82
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: that station. Yeah exactly.

83
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: You had the honor of hosting Tupac's Star unveiling earlier

84
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: this year, and your eyes wives Pac still so impactful.

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Maybe you know, nearly thirty years after, you know, he's

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: left this earth.

87
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 3: You know what I think, you know, for one, the

88
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 3: whole gone too soon, you know, Pac, he left us

89
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: with a lot of material left us with a catalog.

90
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 3: But the one thing with Pac as well is that

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: people loved him, you know what I'm saying, Like you

92
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: can love a song, you can love a certain time period,

93
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: but people loved him, even people that didn't know Pac.

94
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: I knew Pak before I got into radio, so it

95
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: was crazy for me to know Pak, then for Pak

96
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: to come in and do an interview and to see

97
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 3: how much Pac was loved beforehand. I remember one time

98
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: we were doing the show and I was with the

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: Far Side and we used to do a lot of

100
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: shows with POC, and I remember people tearing down a

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: fence to get to get to park And this is

102
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: before the POC that like really blew up. You know

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, This is the I get around Pock.

104
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: He still he's banging, but it's not the Parc that

105
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: we know and revere today. But I just did I

106
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: know that we're gonna lose Poc that young? Not at all?

107
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: But did I know that we would love him for

108
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: more years past his death as far as like he's

109
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: been loved more years than he was on earthy and

110
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 3: that that love is not going away, you know? Yeah,

111
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 3: Like my daughter's fifteen and she's a POC fan, you

112
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, which is crazy.

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

114
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: And doing the star also, Bro, that was like when

115
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: they hit me up to host his star unveiling. That

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: was man, you know. And it's easy to say, oh man,

Speaker 3: it's big boy, La I should but come on, man,

118

Speaker 1: So.

121
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 3: I literally I told my wife, I said, what every

122
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: day this falls on, I would be there. And I

123
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: made sure that I was there, man, And it was

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: a beautiful day. People and La showed up to they

125
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: showed up.

126
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: You were born in Peoria or Chicago? Chicago.

127
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 4: I played against somebody named Mike Robinson. I went to

128
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: Purdue basketball from Peoria. A long time ago. You moved

129
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: to Los Angeles with with your mom.

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: U was two. Yeah, I was that transition ship.

131
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: I didn't know you know too, I wasn't in the

132
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: car like, oh, mom stopped here. I mean, I don't

133
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: know too much about Peoria. I mean it's one of

134
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: those things. Now, you know, with navigation, I can get

135
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: you around, but if you turn the navigation, we all lost.

136
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. So my whole thing was

137
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 3: I was out here in LA before I was too,

138
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: So this is kind of like all I know. I

139
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: went back to Peoria one time when I was bodyguarding

140
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 3: the forest side, I think. But other than that, this

141
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: is this is it?

142
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: Then?

143
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: You know, once I kind of got on, my mom lived,

144
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: you know, in Chicago. Two of my brothers were born

145
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 3: in Chicago, you know, but my mom lived there, so

146
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: a lot of her family's from Chicago as well. And

147
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: once I kind of got on, then that's when I

148
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: realized my connection to Illinois. Because everybody start calling it right,

149
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, But I didn't.

150
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

151
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, in a major way, you know what I'm saying,

152
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: calling for things that I couldn't give them. I'm like,

153
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 3: who is Yeah? Not at all.

154
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: People think that everybody answers this question the same, But

155
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 4: when I hear people answer it, I get different things

156
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: from them.

157
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: What does your mom mean to you?

158
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: Everything?

159
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: Bro?

160
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Like my one and only tattoo, it says idle son.

161
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. And I had that before

162
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: my mom passed. My mom passed in nineteen ninety nine.

163
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 3: I always was a mama's boy. You know what I'm saying.

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: I knew that, my man, my love for my mom

165
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: is not was it's ridiculous, you know. So my mom

166
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: worked extremely hard and I could see that as a kid,

167
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: the sacrifices seven kids. Now that I'm grown and I'll

168
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 3: have my own kids, like, damn, when did mom sleep?

169
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: How did mom you know, survive off of one paycheck

170
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 3: with seven kids? You know, we had a slippery slope

171
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: with some homelessness, but it wasn't too her failure. It

172
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: was more still trying to provide for the kids. And

173
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: when you get in a situation slippery slope, you know,

174
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: no drinking, no drugs, None of that shit was with

175
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: my moms, even with us right now, you know what

176
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So my mom was extremely special. And I

177
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: remember growing up. At one point we were living in

178
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: a motel and I told my mom, I said, Mom,

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: I said, one day I want to buy you a

180
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 3: house so we'll never be evicted again. And she told me,

181
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: she said, I know you were a baby now nine

182
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 3: ten years old, this real shit going on. My mom

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: could have been like baby, come all shit, you know,

184
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: I got to get the money, Like okay, you know.

185
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: But when she said that to me, it meant something

186
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: at that time because it gave me something to keep

187
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: pushing forward to. And when I told her, you know,

188
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: I threw everything up against the wall. When Cane entertainment,

189
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: you know, I wanted to be an actor. She went

190
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 3: out and got me acting books. You know what I'm saying.

191
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here in a motel reading acting books. But

192
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: when I told her I was going to buy her

193
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: a house, and she said, I know you will. That

194
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 3: was my mission, you.

195
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Know what I'm saying.

196
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: So to actually buy my mom my house and tell

197
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: her this is yours and no one ever take it

198
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: away from you. Man, I could have I could have

199
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 3: stopped radio back then, you know what I'm saying. Glad

200
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 3: I didn't. I shouldn't have my house, you know, with moms.

201
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 3: But but no, my mom meant everything to me, Bro.

202
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: And it's nothing like losing something that is the most

203
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 3: you know, shit, that's the most precious to you. You

204
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. So when my mom passed, it

205
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: fucked me up. It messed me up, bat but I

206
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: knew it seemed like what was crazy stack is like

207
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: I started getting these opportunit unit of these that felt

208
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: like they were just coming to that. And I tell people,

209
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: I say, man, my mom was like my agent and

210
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: manager sitting next to God and it was that thing

211
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 3: where she was like, get that girl out of his life.

212
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: Do this for my son here, you know, make this,

213
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: you know easier for him. And it's felt like things

214
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: just start falling, falling into place, you know what I'm saying.

215
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: And it had to be my mom, you know. So

216
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: to this day, bro, my production is Ida Sign Production.

217
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 3: I take care of my family still because in honor.

218
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: Of my mother, you know what I mean, that's dope.

219
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: I said.

220
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: The biggest things I've ever done in my life was

221
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: build my mom and grandmother's house.

222
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. It's nothing like it, Bro,

223
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: when you could just say, I got you. And of

224
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: course selfishly, we all wish we had more time, right,

225
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. You wish he had more time,

226
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: but you but I didn't, you know what I'm saying. So,

227
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: but what she was able to see and see the

228
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: billboards and see you know, the morning show, and see

229
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: her house. And I remember I took her to Vegas

230
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: one time and she used to love to go to Vegas,

231
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: but it'd be like them five ten dollars turnaround trips

232
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: on the bus with the gang of people. I took

233
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: her to Vegas and I gave her a thousand dollars

234
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 3: a gamble, right, My mom never had a thousand dollars

235
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: to play with ever ever, you know. So I left

236
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 3: her for like a couple of hours. When I came back,

237
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: she had nine hundred and eighty dollars. They should playing

238
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: a penny machine. But that's moms, you know what I'm saying.

239
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Like I took it back from her. That's what you

240
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 3: work for, man, seeing you know, seeing people smile as well.

241
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 4: Walk with us through through this tough time of being home.

242
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 4: It's sleeping on park benches and just trying to figure

243
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 4: out the period that period in your life how you

244
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: was feeling and how he was trying to stay positive,

245
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 4: you know what, man.

246
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 3: Like, you know, things are bad. You know, we weren't

247
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: rich as far as when it came to the dollar,

248
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 3: but we was at fluent when it came to love.

249
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 3: Like my mom, we said it, I love y'all, love y'all,

250
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 3: love you. So when we were going through our bouts

251
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 3: of homelessness. It was more of you know, the motel.

252
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 3: Eight of us in one motel room, you know what

253
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Then we stayed at this place called the

254
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: Sunlight Mission, and the Sunlight Mission is just you know,

255
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: you had to go to church.

256
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: You know.

257
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: The boys, me and my brothers, we were in one room.

258
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 3: My mom and the girls were in another room. But

259
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,479
Speaker 3: I think that not having builds a lot of characters

260
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: if you know how to accept it. You know, I

261
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: could sit up and it's crazy because when we were homeless,

262
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: had a motel. It's as a kid, you were like, oh,

263
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: we got a swimming pool. You know what I'm saying, right,

264
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 3: you know, a swimming pool, you know what I mean.

265
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: But you found these things that you enjoyed. But you

266
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: do find yourself where you're walking with your friends home

267
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 3: and then you're like, okay, I live this way and

268
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: they walk one way, and I walked through an alley

269
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 3: and then when I know they're gone, I cut back

270
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 3: and go to the motel. Never a hotel, to the motel.

271
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: So you knew those kinds of things, man, And like

272
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: I said, it just built this character. And we still

273
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: had love, and you know, I would perform for the

274
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: family and try to, you know, be the comic relief

275
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: and all those kinds of things. But I could see it,

276
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: especially when I got older, Bro, I could see it

277
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: in my mom's eyes. As a parent, it's crazy when

278
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: you feel and I don't know if my mom felt this,

279
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: but I saw it in her eyes, like damn that

280
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 3: I failed my kids and she didn't. But if you

281
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: couldn't do something for your babies, it was a certain

282
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: feeling that you would get, you know what I'm saying.

283
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 3: And so I was able to, you know, make sure

284
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: that once we got older, that we were able to

285
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: take care of some of the things. Once the boys

286
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: were able to work, my sisters started to work, you know.

287
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 3: But at that time, when you're looking at it, bro,

288
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: it's like how long does this last?

289
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: Right? You know?

290
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: Is this forever? You know? And then now, as a kid, bro,

291
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: all you would want was, man, I just want to

292
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 3: an address, right, you know what I'm saying, I want

293
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 3: a roof, you know. And when you start thinking of

294
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 3: the basics that you don't have that you want, when

295
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: you start to have and get things, you're like, well, shit,

296
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: I know how to survive with nothing. So I can

297
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: enjoy this something, you know, And I'm glad that she

298
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: had a chance to kind of enjoy that. But you know,

299
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: I think in the rear view mirror, it messes you.

300
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: Up a little bit more scarred.

301
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and it does, you know. And there's a

302
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: lot of tuition into the school of experience of you know,

303
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: how you live your life and the things you want

304
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: to do, and you know, live in the right way

305
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: as far as like, you know, like I'm still no

306
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: matter how many years I've been thirty years in radio

307
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, right, no matter how much radio

308
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 3: I have behind you, I'm still motivated by fear. I'm

309
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: still motivated by damn, this could disappear, you know. Or

310
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: it's crazy because even when things are going right, you'll say, Okay,

311
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: something happen, said, oh my god, what's gonna go wrong?

312
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: You know, And that's a pattern from when you know

313
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: we're growing up, you know, yeah, expecting the word sometimes.

314
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: You know.

315
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 4: I think that's a good thing too, because regardless how

316
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 4: much success you've had, how much success we had, we

317
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: always feel like even though it's up like not necessarily

318
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: something bad gonna happen, it's still more to prove you.

319
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: Still you appreciate where you're at.

320
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, And you still want to

321
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: show people that you appreciate that you got more to give,

322
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And I think having that

323
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: having an attitude is not a bad thing, you know

324
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

325
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: Times too, I just stop, and not that you pat

326
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: yourself on the bag, but I'll stop sometime and I'm like, oh, ship,

327
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: like I got a star on Hollywood Walker Fame, you know,

328
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 3: like things like that where you're like, and sometimes I forget.

329
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: Somebody just ask me, like, man, when's least I ain't

330
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 3: been to your start? Like I gotta start. And not

331
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: that it don't mean I don't piss on plaques and

332
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: all that, but no, man, it's like you're constantly moving forward,

333
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 3: but sometimes you gotta and just you know, look around

334
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: and say okay, yeah, yeah, and then get back up here.

335
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: As a man, we'd be stuck in real time.

336
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and everybody else enjoyed around you.

337
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: You was around in the peak of the game, Cutch

338
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: and the bus cs and you even got them streets

339
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 4: a little bit that had to hustle a little bit.

340
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: What was that like?

341
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, you know what I'm saying, Like like,

342
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, because when I got into radio, aside

343
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: from Bodyguarden, radio was the first job I ever had

344
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: in my life. You know what I'm saying. I never

345
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: had to pay taxes, I never had a W two.

346
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: I never really felled out an application and got a job.

347
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: You know.

348
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 3: I just I made way, you know, I made way,

349
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: and it was you know, it was a lot of

350
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 3: great stuff that I was into, you know. And when

351
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: we were standing in the mission. I remember I was

352
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 3: like ten years old and I went up for prayer,

353
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: and when I was coming back, I'm walking up the

354
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 3: aisle and it seemed like this lady just grew in

355
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: front of me. I didn't see her walking up to

356
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: me or anything. She just popped up and she looked

357
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 3: at me and she said, don't let the devil get

358
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: a hold of you. And as quick as she popped

359
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: in front of me, she was gone. So any time

360
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: in my life when I would mess up, I'd be like,

361
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 3: come on, man, Kurt, don't let the devil get a

362
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: hold of you.

363
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: Don't.

364
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: But you know, I had one foot in and one

365
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 3: foot out. I knew I always wanted these entertainment things,

366
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: so on and so forth. But realistically I was doing

367
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: other things as well.

368
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: You know.

369
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: I come from you know, a time when certain things

370
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 3: was introduced to the streets of Los Angeles, and it

371
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: was this dude named Mixed Master Spade not his fault,

372
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 3: but he had this song where he said, you spend

373
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars, make seven hundred back.

374
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: And I was like, you.

375
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: Spend three hundred dollars make seven hundred back.

376
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: Straight to that, straight to it, bro.

377
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: Straight to it, you know. And it's crazy because if

378
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: you look at my bio and you pull up anything,

379
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 3: my bio says former bodyguard for the far Side, you know,

380
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 3: like I never try to get into when when any

381
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 3: hustles that people had, you gotta waf you you got

382
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 3: away from your hustle. You you know, you separated yourself

383
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 3: from your hustle. Oh I DJ I did say that,

384
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 3: you know. You know, nowadays it's a little bit more

385
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: goofy where everybody's talking about what.

386
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: They do, you know what.

387
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 3: But yeah, when we were going up, you didn't talk

388
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 3: about that ship. You know what I'm saying. You did

389
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 3: that ship, how you did it, and you moved on.

390
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: But I would play. You know, I had to DJ

391
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 3: in business, you know those kind of things like literally

392
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: pack my records up and stuff, you know, just so

393
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 3: I could justify having some kind of money. But no,

394
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 3: it was like, you know, shit, it was it was great.

395
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: You was doing it. You was doing it for the

396
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 4: right reasons. These days, they're doing it to be seen.

397
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 4: That's the difference.

398
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then with me, Bro, I was like, you know,

399
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: three four or five hundred pounds. My ID was too positive,

400
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: So you know what I'm saying, I couldn't you know,

401
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: I wasn't never no strong arm. I didn't hold people up,

402
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: none of that kind of shit.

403
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: You know.

404
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: I did credit cards, I did phones, I did other things.

405
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: But but yeah, like my I d BRO like shit,

406
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: I did something to you, you'd be like, who was you?

Speaker 3: Like he's like six ft, like five hundred pounds. I

408
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: was just him. So I had to hustle in different ways,

409
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: you know. But uh, but ship once.

410

Speaker 1: I once.

411
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: And it's crazy because when I say you try to

412
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: you know, you try to hold on to certain things.

413
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: It was like I just felt man like everybody around

414
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: me started getting caught up. You know, people started you know,

415
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 3: either dying or catching you know, als like at one

419
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 3: always had them decisions. Man, it just felt like I

420
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 3: was navigating, always around the bullshit. I just missed it,

421
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: just missed it. You know. It was like I was

422
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,080

00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 3: Man.

426
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: Can you say.

427
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: I ain't saying nothing ahead.

428
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: You say Iced Tea and then W eighty made you

429
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 4: fall in love with about Who was the artist to

00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 4: make you fall Ice Tea?

431
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 3: Definitely? Definitely because Ice Tea early on, man, he had

432
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 3: it was this documentary called Breaking an Entering, and that

433
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: was the first time I saw, like I knew of

434
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: Ice Tea. You know, Ice Team was years before you

435
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: wa as well. But I was on like you know,

436
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: super Rhymes, and I went out and I just found

437
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 3: hip hop. Bro, you know what I'm saying, Like I

438
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: was always on this quest to go get hip hop.

439
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: You know.

440
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: Of course my first introduction was rappers Delight. That was

441
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 3: like the biggest introduction because before I didn't know what

442
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: it was. When my partner would have something from New York,

443
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: I had to partner about the name of Frankie. And

444
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 3: once I got Rappers Delight, that put me on like

445
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 3: this quest where me and my homeway Trevor would walk

446
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 3: to boys Club and we would just rap Rappers Delight.

447
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: You know, I'm you know, she heard stories and she

448
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 3: her fables that are vicious on the mic and the turntables.

449
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: I would that I didn't know where turntables were. We

450
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: had big ass stereos with the arm that dropped the

451
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: record down and all that. But I just fell in

452
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: love with it. And then once I got to about

453
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 3: thirteen years old, man, it was just my first set

454
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 3: of turntables, which was pieces of garbage, you know what

455
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying. But I would go out and I would

456
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: just you know now you would go, well, not now,

457
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: but you would go to record stores years ago to

458
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 3: be these big, you know sections hip hop of course,

459
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: you know, it was just in a you know, it's

460
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: in a band. If you had that, I would go

461
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: and just try to get everything hip hop, you know.

462
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 3: I would try to find you know, cassettes and you know,

463
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: twelve inches, and my boy would send me stuff from

464
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: from the East Coast. But I was always on this

465
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: quest because I grew up with music in our household,

466
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: and that music was shit with Commodoores, Diana Ross, whatever

467
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 3: the Jackson's, whatever was in the household. And I love music.

468
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: My brother Keiths always kept me in with music. But

469
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 3: once I got hip hop, that wasn't my mom's, that

470
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: wasn't my older brothers. Like hip hop was like mine,

471
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: you know, and it was fresh and it was brand new,

472
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: and you know, you looked a certain way, you know,

473
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 3: like hip hop now with to no fault, it's like,

474
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: I don't know who hip hop is as ll as

475
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 3: like what it looked like. Right, you will see somebody

476
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: if they was wearing like you know, years fast forward,

477
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: a cango, some gazelles, whatever it is, Adidas with no shoes,

478
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: you knew that, Okay, they in it the same with

479
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 3: the same way we're banging. Back in the days, you know,

480
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 3: you could tell who was banging by the way they looked,

481
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: you know, not by just what they said. I mean,

482
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 3: you could spot somebody from a mile away and be like,

483
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 3: oh yeah, you know such as such. You know, you

484
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 3: go to concerts. I mean going to concerts, you never

485
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: saw the headliner because they was in there tearing everything up,

486
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So there was certain looks

487
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 3: and I think that was the look that hip hop

488
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: gave too. And it was good to just see your peers.

489
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: You see somebody like oh and you start talking about

Speaker 3: good for the city though, you know, we was going

701
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,880

708
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,760

709
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: felt different, you know, the parades felt different. Shaq would

710
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 3: call in and he had the inside line. He just

711
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 3: called in when he won, talking about he had a

712
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 3: bird in the car and started barking, you know, like

713
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: talking like a bird, all kind of you know, Kobe'll

714
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,799

715
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: was different times, man, you know, and it got to

716
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 3: a point where, you know, shit, it felt like you

717
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 3: had to not even take the engine off the bus.

718
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 3: That bus was not going nowhere for a while, like

719
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: no parades is going down, but now it's cool. But

720
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 3: back then it was like, oh yeah, the city felt good,

721
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 3: but no crazy, no crazy stories, man. You know, probably kept.

722
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: Me safe, you know what I'm saying.

723
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 2: Talk about establishing that you touched on it earlier. You

724
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 2: hadn't got a chance to meet Tupac before he became

725
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: the Tupac that the knew in love.

726
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: What was that like? And how'd you guys develop that friendship?

727
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: You know what?

728
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: Man? Pac was just just you know, people say, oh man,

729
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 3: he was a real dude. You know what I'm saying.

730
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: He was real. He was My best conversations with Pac

731
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 3: were away from everything. You know what I'm saying, either

732
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 3: just sitting in a lobby, sitting in a hotel room,

733
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 3: my partner, Smoky, him and his mom and PAC's mom

734
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: of Fanny was in the Panthers together, So just catching

735
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: him at the apartment and just just talking, you know,

736
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 3: and I can see what was going down with Pac

737
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 3: when he when he really got on. You know what

738
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm saying. That's why you wish we all had certain

739
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: times where if our moment in time stopped right then

740
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 3: no telling what we could have saw Poc become. You

741
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like there's a difference between someone

742
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,760
Speaker 3: when they're twenty five when they're thirty five, forty five,

743
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: and fifty, you know, to pass without possibly not even

744
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 3: having a gray hair, you know what I'm saying, that's

745
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: just crazy. But I had. I just had moments where

746
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 3: we had cool moments. And there was another time, man,

747
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 3: where he gave my guys so horrible advice, and I

748
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: remember when he left through all that, Man, don't listen

749
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 3: to you know what I'm saying, Because they passing me by,

750
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: they felt like when you park was like, man, that

751
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 3: record ain't platin, That shit ain't platinum. Man, y'all need

752
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 3: to go into that delicious vinyl. Just start whooping everybody

753
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 3: ass and I'll let park to everything. Then when he

754
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: left all that, man, don't do that, you know what

755
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I don't do that. But uh, just a

756
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 3: special being, man. And what's crazy is you know how

757
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 3: when you know somebody special at the moment, not when

758
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 3: they passed. When they passed, you feel it even more so.

759
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 3: But I knew that Poc was special at the moment,

760
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 3: and then when I would see what was going on

761
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 3: when right before he passed, just a lot of the

762
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 3: things that was kind of going on, you did want

763
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 3: him to kind of slow down, you know, slow down

764
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 3: and enjoy life, you know, because he took everything. He

765
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: took everything, yeah, man, and I think that was also

766
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: a lot of people had a chance to learn. And

767
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 3: that's what he did with Pack. You always got a lesson,

768
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 3: you know. And that's life. He was out, he was contradicting.

778
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: a voice of realness, a voice of hope. When you're

779
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: going through a time like that, you know, how do

780
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: you fine tune that?

781
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: And you're talking about industry wise, the street wise, a

782
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 3: little bit of both man for one new you gotta

783
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 3: be that voice of of calm too, you know what

784
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 3: I'm saying, and not calm to where you say, all

785
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: y'all could just f over us. You know what I'm saying.

786
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 3: You gotta, like I said, you got to have the enough.

787
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 3: So I had to be West Coast enough too, especially

788
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 3: when you know, we felt like there was some attacking

789
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: going on when it came to what the West Coast

790
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 3: was doing, you know, and when when Q and Mac

791
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 3: and Doug came about down. You know, those were times

792
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 3: where we felt like we had to protect the coast,

793
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 3: you know, we had to protect the coast. And then

794
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 3: when it got to you know, we started seeing this

795
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 3: East coast West Coast beef because that wasn't beef when

796
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 3: it did when when bout out one down, but when

797
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 3: it got to the East Coast West Coast Beef, I

798
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: literally had artists that would call and be like, man,

799
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 3: is it cool to come out there?

800
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: You know?

801
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 3: And now you know, we record something, we record our interviews,

802
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 3: but back in the days, you know, our interviews was

803
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: live live, and I remember having to record some of

804
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 3: the interviews because people didn't want people to know that

805
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: they were down. And you know, I'm leaving. Can you

806
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: play it when I leave?

807
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: You know?

808
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 3: But it was just it was just that crazy then.

809
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 3: You know, the streets was acting a certain way, and

810
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 3: you just had to be that voice because you could

811
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 3: either you know, throw gasoline and a match on the city,

812
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: or you could tell the city like you know, and

813
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: I never been that guy. Or I just wanted to

814
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: rile you up and just get you crazy. You know,

815
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 3: we're not gonna be on no goofy stuff either, but

Speaker 4: I mean I was expecting that. And do you did

821
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: a lot of artists play you there music to get approval?

822

848
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 3: different ways. That's why you got to have the personality too.

849
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 3: You know, you can hear you know, Kendrick anywhere, but

850
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 3: what's between Kendrick now is what people listen for as well.

851
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, that nineties era bro like And then think

852
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 3: the thing about it too is I was always a

853
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 3: fan of the music. So if I could go to

854
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 3: a show, I really wanted to be at that show.

855
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 3: You know, if I sat down with you, it's because

856
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 3: I really wanted to talk to you, you know what

857
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And when you fast forward and you look

858
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: at people now, you see the growth and it's crazy how

859
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,320
Speaker 3: you see I get younger people into the studio to

860
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 3: the neighborhood, and I'm so excited for them because I

861
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 3: seen it before. I seen it before, you know, like

862
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 3: Cory Larray, I seen it before, Tired, I seen it before.

863
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Even when Kendrick would come

864
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 3: for the first few times and him talking about when

865
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 3: he sold off the Roxy. You know, now Kendrick, you know,

866
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 3: you put him in front of hundreds of thousands of

867
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 3: people and that's his home. So watching people early on

868
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 3: and get a chance to be with them and watch

869
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 3: their journey. That that's been amazing as well.

870
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 4: Being such a big pillar in the music, uh in

871
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: the music saying how did you stay out of any

872
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 4: the death ro drama, all the death ro stuff?

873
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 3: It wasn't my business. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like.

874
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: They didn't come up there. We need this record play.

875
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: We know it's bullshit, but we need to play.

876
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 3: What's crazy is that? Should never did that?

877
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: Well?

878
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 3: People say, oh shug, yeah, you know it was never like, man,

879
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: you need to play my mother records. You know they

880
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: had bangers anyway, right, you know what I'm saying, They

881
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 3: had bangers anyway. So nah, I never had no no

882
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 3: crazy situation where somebody was talking about you need to

883
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: play this respect upfront with you too, and then I'm

884
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 3: not you know, I going anyway, especially then, you know.

885
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 3: And the one thing with me as well, Man, I

886
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 3: got kids, I got a wife. You know, I've always

887
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 3: had a reason to make it home, even if it's

888
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: just for me, you know. And it's easier to be

889
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 3: square business with somebody, you know, because I was in

890
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 3: a position bro where I never want you to think

891
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 3: I owe you anything, you know what I'm saying. So

892
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: it's better for me to not take nothing from you.

893
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 3: So I never had you know, somebody. You know, of

894
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 3: course people want you to play the records off. Man,

895
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 3: you're not doing what enough West Coast interviews or you're

896
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: not you know, through my career, but it's never been

897
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: nothing where somebody said I want to meet you downstairs.

898
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 3: That's that's never happened, you know what I'm saying. And

904
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,600

Speaker 3: trust the process and let somebody else go through what

925
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,920

1061
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 3: I need you to come here something.

1062

Speaker 3: Just watching him melting his seat, bro, that's fun. Fifty

1114
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 3: bat to fifty cent and I literally had to He

1115
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 3: had some kind of mirrored looking chrome Lamborghini that I

1116
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 3: had to wash at the station in front of listeners.

1117
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 3: And it was one of those cars where when you wipe,

1118
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 3: it didn't look like it was dry, so I had

1119
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: to keep on wiping it. But losing that bet to him.

1120
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 3: Then when I came back, I remember I got I

1121
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,000

1181
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:19,400

Speaker 3: is Michael. That's definitely your boy. Yeah. We're sitting on

1183
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 3: the sofa, on the sofa and there's the mixing board

1184
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 3: right here, the soundboard, and so Mike is sitting at

1185
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 3: the board, but he's sitting sideways, so our profile is

1186
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 3: him sideways. But we're looking at him, and I know

1187
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: Fuzzy's thinking the same thing, like, dude, this is Michael Jackson. Bro,

1188
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, this is Michael. And

1189
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 3: so I'm not even looking at fuzz I'm looking at Mike.

1190
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 3: And I know that Fuzzy is looking at Mike, right,

1191
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 3: And so I just happened to do like this because

1192
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 3: when I listen to music, I have my eyes closed,

1193
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 3: and so at one point I look up and and

1194
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 3: Mike sitting at the sideways at the board, and he's

1195
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 3: like doing a Michael thing, right, and I'm looking at him.

1196
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 3: Then I see my man go like this. I looked

1197
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 3: at so I looked this way. I don't know. He

1198
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,959
Speaker 3: adjusted his hair, and I remember do I just looked

1199
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 3: at Fuzzy like but it was the quickest did you

1200
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 3: see that now, and I don't know what it was,

1201
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 3: but whatever whatever result, it was beautiful. They need an adjustment,

1202
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. And we just happened to

1203
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 3: look up like and I remember dude just looking at

1204
01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:42,160

01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 3: fight me.

1207
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: Uh, there's obviously a handful of unfortunate moments while you

1208
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: are on the air. Speak to us, you know how

1209
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,520

1210
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: on the radio first and foremost part when he passed.

1211
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 3: Pac Man Poc, we didn't have social media, you know

1212
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. We didn't have social media. It was

1213
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 3: one of those things where there was no TMZ, you know.

1214
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 3: So when Poc got shot, of course we all knew

1215
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,919
Speaker 3: Poc got shot, you know, And so I started hearing

1216
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 3: rumblings that Poc passed. So I get to the station

1217
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 3: and at this time, I'm working like the three to

1218

01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:39,880
Speaker 3: you hear anything about pocket, you adn't think about pock.

1221
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:44,320

Speaker 3: and they're like, yeah, man, you know Poc past. I'm like, damn.

1223
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 3: So we're in an office and we're all trying to

1224
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 3: find this lead on Pocket, not to be the first

1225
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 3: one and be the bearer of bad news. But I

1226
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 3: remember I had to tell La that we lost Poc

1227
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 3: and so it literally felt like you know when you

1228
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 3: a kid, or when you're graduating, you do that graduation

1229
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 3: walk where it's one foot here and it's one foot there.

1230
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,439
Speaker 3: It literally felt like I was doing the graduation walk

1231
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 3: through quick saying. I didn't want to walk down the hallway.

1232
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 3: I didn't want to turn on my MIC. I didn't

1233
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 3: want to tell La because I didn't want to say it.

1234
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 3: I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to

1235
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 3: believe it. I love Pac. So walking down and turning

1236
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 3: on my mic, and soon as you start to show,

1237
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 3: you know, do your call letters power one six. You know,

1238
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 3: we got some unfortunate news. You know, we just heard that,

1239
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: you know, Tupac's your core passed. And I remember, dude,

1240
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 3: the phone lines just lit up. And to this day,

1241
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 3: I'll still get people that say, man, I heard pop

1242
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 3: pass from you. You know, I heard POC and not

1243
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 3: knowing that this dude that I sat on the same

1244
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 3: bed with leg to leg and had these conversations or whatever,

1245
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 3: that I would be the one that would break the news.

1246
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 3: And then fast forward when I so when I do

1247
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 3: a rewind from his star, that's all the things that

1248
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 3: I was rewinding when I have had the opportunity. It

1249
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 3: was honored to do his star ceremony. But yeah, that

1250
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 3: was one of those things that was that was hard.

1251
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:21,919
Speaker 3: Speaking to La Biggie. Oh Man, Biggie was another one.

1252
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 3: Biggie Biggie passed on March ninth, my birthday, man, and

1253
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:29,920
Speaker 3: it was if I think that year it was a Sunday,

1254
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, and because I wasn't on air

1255
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 3: that day, and I remember the same way, you know,

1256
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,959
Speaker 3: it wasn't burnt up on social media by the time

1257
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 3: we got to work. And that was another one where

1258
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 3: you felt like like damn, like big pass, like this

1259
01:03:48,600 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 3: is what's happening, this is what this is what's going on.

1260
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 3: And then the way that it happened in La, it

1261
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,000
Speaker 3: was just it was it was just a feeling where

1262
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 3: you're like, oh man, you know and I remember the

1263
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 3: last time I saw Big. I was at the Palace,

1264
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 3: but I think it's like the Avalon or something now.

1265
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 3: And literally somebody was like, oh, you know, you want

1266
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 3: to take a picture with Big and I was like, oh, man,

1267
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 3: I'm cool. I said, he's gonna come to the station.

1268
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,120
Speaker 3: I get it when he comes, you know what I'm saying.

1269
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 3: Never never came. But that was one of those things

1270
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 3: where that that one personally hurt too, you know, because

1271
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 3: because Big dude, that was he was a very good dude, man,

Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, And that one, that one

1273
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 3: hurt too. Like it was just one of those things

1274
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 3: the way that happened, you know, where it happened, at

1381
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,120
Speaker 3: our mics, it was probably two to three minutes of

1382
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,400
Speaker 3: crying before anybody said a word.

Speaker 3: of those things where we all played jokes on the phone.

1412
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 3: It was just one night. Man. I would learn, Like

1413
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:45,800
Speaker 3: I had to learn how to use the board when

1414
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 3: I first got into radio, and man, I wasn't even

1415
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 3: trying to touch that board for like my first six months.

1416
01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 3: So we were just get on there. And when they

1417
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 3: told me, hey, you got to learn how to work

1418
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 3: the board, I started doing overnights till how to work

1419
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 3: the board. So that was like midnight till like five

1420
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 3: thirty six o'clock in the morning when the Baker Boys

1421
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 3: came on. So I still have my board out there

1422
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 3: trying to teach me things. So literally I would call

1423
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:15,160
Speaker 3: businesses that was open and we had a reel to

1424
01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 3: reel and I just record them. We're playing back, laugh

1425
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 3: and all that kind of shit, just for us, and

1426
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 3: I put them in my locker. Years later, I played

1427
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 3: one for my producer Jason Ryan, and he was like, Oh,

1428
01:13:28,040 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 3: we should play this on the air. Played it, people laugh.

1429
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 3: You got another one, played it, people laugh. He said,

1430
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,160
Speaker 3: how many do you have? Only had like probably five

1431
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 3: of them. He said, I think we should start doing

1432
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 3: this on the air every day. You know, and so

1433
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,560
Speaker 3: I didn't have a name for the bit. It was

1434
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,840
Speaker 3: just you know, prank calls. And so one day the

1435
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 3: lady asked me my name and I was like, oh,

1438
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 3: like a couple of phone taps. And then one time

1439
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,479

01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 3: My peak weight that I saw on the scale was

1502
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 3: five hundred eleven pounds. Now they see where you walking,

1503
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 3: man like, like, were you on your way to six

1504
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 3: hundred pound life with doctor? Now? No? But there was

1505
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 3: five hundred eleven pounds and that was on my surgery date.

1506
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 3: I got surgery about twenty years ago gas your bypass surgery.

1507
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 3: But I must have been bigger than that because the

1508
01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 3: doctor told me, lose as much weight as you can

1509
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 3: from now to your surgery date. And I had about

1510
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 3: two weeks. And I know in two weeks off of

1511
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 3: that frame, I know, I probably could have lost forty pounds,

1512
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 3: you know, so probably, But that weight that I saw

1513
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 3: was five hundred eleven pounds.

1514
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 4: Who was the biggest impact that motivated you to keep

1515
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 4: going in your weight lost journey?

1516
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 1: Will Smith?

1517
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 3: Will Smith started it, you know what I'm saying. Will

1518
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 3: Smith started it, man, because I had been big like

1519
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 3: my whole life, and you know, like even when my

Speaker 3: mom passed, right, everything wasn't like a light switch, was

1521

Speaker 3: like oh shit, I need to I need to get

1522
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:58,599

01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:02,479
Speaker 3: you know. And then as the Dimmer's going. Then the

1524

Speaker 3: Will Smith, even though Will Smith's challenged man the weight

1526
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 3: loss challenge. I had Will Smith on and you know,

1527
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 3: off air, Wheel was talking about you know, did what

1528
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 3: about your health? And you know your age and so

1529
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 3: on and so forth, and I remember he told me,

1530
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: he said, man, well, let's do a weight loss challenge

1531
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 3: and I'll give you a one thousand dollars for every

1532
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 3: pound that you lose, and we're donated to charity. I'm thinking, cool,

1533
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 3: I love this, you know. I check in every week

1534
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 3: and then I'll come in and we'll just weigh you

1535
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. I'm not even thinking

1536
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 3: about health at this time. I'm thinking about man. I'm

1537
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 3: thinking the radio man I got Will Smith for six

1538
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 3: months dedicated to me. Yeah, I'll do this weight loss challenge.

1539
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 3: Get on. First week, I lose twenty six pounds, right,

1540
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:56,640
Speaker 3: twenty six racks off the top boone. I lose one

1541
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 3: hundred and one pounds in six months. I could have

1542
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 3: lost more. I lost twenty six the first week. But

1543
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 3: my main thing was Will Smith. Will Smith calling in

1544
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:07,680
Speaker 3: from the set, how you doing all right? Let's wear

1545
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,599
Speaker 3: me in. You know, I get on. But this is radio.

1546
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 3: This ain't health you know what I'm saying, Man, this

1547
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 3: is radio. Oh it's Will Smith. Will Smith checking in

1548
01:19:15,600 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 3: Thursday seventeen, that kind of shit. So then when it

1549
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 3: comes to the actual end of the weight loss challenge,

1550
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 3: we got the local media there, the news is there,

1551
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,440
Speaker 3: Will Smith, you know how to come with the oversized

1552
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 3: check and he signs it and all this stuff. It's

1553
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 3: great radio, great television. I'm literally on the scale and

1554
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 3: my boxes and a T shirt weighing in and I'm like, man,

1555
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 3: when I finished with this, I want to lafogatas and

1556
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 3: give me some chicken notches that was on my dome. Boom,

1557
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,439
Speaker 3: All right, y'all, boom. I'm right back in the game.

1558
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 3: The challenge is over. And I had never felt slow

1559
01:19:58,680 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 3: like I still worked out. I did every you know,

1560
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,880
Speaker 3: I'd had to park there in the front and waddle in.

1561
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: You know, no.

1562
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 3: Disrespect, I could say. I don't have to say no disrespect.

1563
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 3: She I was five hundred pounds. You know, I'm gonna

1564
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 3: get mad at me. But I remember I was walking

1565
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 3: through the Burbank Airport one time, man, and I had

1566
01:20:15,800 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 3: to stop and catch my breath and I felt the

1567
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 3: pain in my back. I never felt that before. But

1568
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 3: I had lost the weight and I was putting the

1569
01:20:23,720 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 3: weight back on so rapidly that I just felt like, man,

1570
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 3: I have to do something. I have to do something,

1571
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 3: you know, just before my kids and all that stuff.

1572
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,880
Speaker 3: So I did that. I did that for me and

1573
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 3: I had a lot of complications, you know what I'm saying,

1574
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 3: But that literally for me, that saved my life.

1575
01:20:46,240 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: The big pun have like did it wake you up?

1576
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 3: Or did it all that buffy from the but you

1577
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 3: like I said, it was a dimmer. My mom didn't

1578
01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:59,639
Speaker 3: wake me up, you know what I'm saying. So, yeah,

1579
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,679
Speaker 3: you see the big puns of the world. I remember,

1580
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 3: in fact, Joe and I we were talking with pun

1581
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,040
Speaker 3: past and I remember he was like, yeah, you know,

1582
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 3: big we got to take care of ourselves, and you know,

1583
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 3: we made a commitment. But you know now, you see Joe,

1584
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 3: he's good. You see me, I'm good. But it took

1585
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,200
Speaker 3: me ten years to just learn nutrition because you don't

1586
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,760
Speaker 3: get a gas your bypass surgery and then wake up

1587
01:21:20,800 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 3: and it's just you know, yeah, and even up until

1588
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago, Man, I went to this

1589
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,400
Speaker 3: place called the Hoffmann Institute where you do this thing

1590
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 3: called the process. And that's why I even learned even

1591
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 3: more about my addiction and my love affair with food.

1592
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 3: You know, you eat when you're happy, eat when you sad,

1593
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 3: eat when you celebrate, eat when you depress, whatever it is.

1594
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 3: I was constantly eating, you know, and you had to

1595
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 3: learn where those triggers came from as well. And I

1596
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 3: think now, even right now, I'm on a program where

1597
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, I'm on a not a as Richard Simmons

1598
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 3: would say, I think it was Richard Simmons, It's not

1599
01:21:59,080 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 3: a diet, it's a living. So I just live and

1600
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 3: I you know, I don't eat after eight I don't

1601
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 3: eat you know, pastas and breads and potatoes and things

1602
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 3: of that nature. I just, you know, I work out,

1603
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 3: you know. But shit, I paid a lot into you know,

1604
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 3: I paid a lot of tuition to the School of Experience, bro.

1605
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 3: But I was able to get out and possibly I

1606
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 3: think I saved my life.

1607
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 4: Congratulations, Yeah, yes, sir. What's your advice to anyone who's

1608
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 4: on the weight loss journey?

1609
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 3: One day at a time, one moment at a time,

1610
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 3: one minute at a time, one second at a time,

1611
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 3: you know, and people don't see. You know, it'll take

1612
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 3: you sometimes, it'll take you. It's quicker to lose it

1613
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 3: than it is to gain it. Because I gained the

1614
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 3: wait my whole life. It didn't take me a lifetime

1615
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 3: to lose it, you know. And I don't mean like

1616
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 3: ten pounds on and so forth. But that's that's the

1617
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 3: biggest thing.

1618
01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 1: Man.

1619
01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 3: We we'll take care of so many other people we

1620
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 3: don't take I didn't take care of myself and not

1621
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 3: we and they and you. I didn't take care of myself.

1622
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 1: You know.

1623
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 3: I would put the highest octane into my car, but

1624
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 3: I wouldn't put the best octained into my body. You

1625
01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:16,080
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I worry more about other people

1626
01:23:16,120 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 3: than I worried about me. And the first thing they

1627
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 3: tell you when you get on the plane, they say,

1628
01:23:20,200 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 3: you know, secure.

1629
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 1: Your mass anybody else?

1630
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, so if I'm not taking care of me,

1631
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:26,719
Speaker 3: how do I take care of my kids?

1632
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 1: You know?

1633
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:33,200
Speaker 3: And it's just been for me. I see so many

1634
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,640
Speaker 3: different sides too, you know, I see the prejudice, you

1635
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:40,720
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I see you know, when I

1636
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,320
Speaker 3: was walking down the aisle getting on Southwest Plains. I

1637
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 3: know people didn't want to sit next to me. You

1638
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,839
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. I see that now that I'm smaller,

1639
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,599
Speaker 3: and I see I see certain things and they don't know.

1640
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:55,800
Speaker 3: You know, I'm in the club. Yeah, you know, I'm

1641
01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,320
Speaker 3: in the club. But I just tell people that whatever

1642
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 3: your journey is, man, you know, it's a it's a

1643
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 3: lifetime journey. It's a journey where any other addiction, right, yeah,

1644
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 3: and every day is not going to be the best day.

1645
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 3: And you know, I just try to do a little

1646
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:12,520
Speaker 3: bit better than I did yesterday.

1647
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: You know. Question.

1648
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 2: Now, this could be urban legend and we don't even

1649
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 2: have to talk about it, but any truth to you

1650
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 2: got to rest one time and hit a gun in

1651
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: your fold and it went undetected. We don't have to talk

1652
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 2: about if you don't want to know, get looped it.

1653
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:29,240
Speaker 3: But its motherfucker Can I can I tell you the story?

1654
01:24:29,479 --> 01:24:31,759
Speaker 3: Please let me tell you this story.

1655
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 1: Bro.

1656
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 3: So I was bodyguarding the forest side, right And when

1657
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 3: I was bodyguarding the forest side, we had to go

1658
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 3: to the Bay Area to do some shows like Souls

1659
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 3: and Mischief, you know, and so uh OJ is on

1660
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 3: the fucking four or five that day.

1661
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: Really, so we're literally the hell of a way to

1662
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: start the day.

1663
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 3: Watching OJ and his boy on in the Bronco. Yeah, man,

1664
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:05,240
Speaker 3: in a major way. So we're watching this and we're

1665
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 3: missing planes. The guys don't want to leave their their

1666
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 3: glued to the TV. So I'm booking other flights. Okay,

1667
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 3: we can get you know, it's the Bay. There's a

1668
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,240
Speaker 3: flight every hour. Okay, well make sure, make sure, make sure.

1669
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 3: So now we get to a point where we can't fly,

1670
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 3: were like, forget it, let's just rent a van. So

1671
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 3: one of my guys go get a Reno van. Now

1672
01:25:26,320 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 3: already had a gun on me, right, so I figured,

1673
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, if we're going to drive up, I'll

1674
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:33,880
Speaker 3: just take my gun with me. So we drive up.

1675
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,559

01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 3: some other small shit, small like traffic shit, right, And

1692
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 3: so I always told my brother, I said, hey, man,

1693
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 3: if they catch me on these warrants, I'm just gonna

1694
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 3: do the days. Don't bail me out. Just let me

1695
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 3: hold onto the cash. All right, Cool, that's understanding. So

1696
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 3: then I get pulled over. They come up. I'm in

1697
01:26:33,920 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 3: a white Astro van that I just bought, not knowing

1698
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 3: that when I bought this van, I bought it from

1699
01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: this dude from thirties, right. I don't know the van

1700
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 3: van enough. So they sit me down, they go through

1701
01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 3: my van. My man comes back to me, I said,

1702
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 3: where's the gun at I'm like, I don't have a gun.

1703
01:26:53,000 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 3: Where's the gun? I said, I don't have a gun,

1704
01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 3: you know. And that's when we started, you know, officers, boss,

1705
01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 3: So I don't have a gun, officer. So my man

1706
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 3: told me that in my seat that there was a

1707
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,360
Speaker 3: slick because it had these cap in chairs with this material.

1708
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 3: When you pull the material up, dude cut a slit

1709
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:15,200
Speaker 3: in there. But it was empty. So now where's the

1710
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 3: gun because you had a stash spot. I don't have

1711
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 3: a gun on me. Literally, I'm wearing a T shirt,

01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:08,040

1742
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:12,519
Speaker 3: still trying to get me to talk on the phone.

1743
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,679
Speaker 3: So now this is probably like two three in the morning.

1744
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,479
Speaker 3: The county bus comes about five six in the morning

1745
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 3: to pick you up and take you to La County.

1746
01:29:21,520 --> 01:29:24,840
Speaker 3: So if man, he must have got there in record time,

1747
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,520
Speaker 3: because it's like a movie here and say, like, Alexander,

1748
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,679
Speaker 3: you know, it's almost like a movie. You made bail.

1749
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:34,080
Speaker 3: And as I'm walking out, there's a door with a window,

1750
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:37,200
Speaker 3: and I'm looking at my brother and he's trying to

1751
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 3: make eye contact with me, like and I'm like walking

1752
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 3: I get out. I'm walking down the steps and he's

1753
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 3: still trying to talk to him and say, hold on

1754
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 3: for a second. We get down the street, I go

1755
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 3: under my stomach and I pull both guns out.

1756
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Yeah too, not more.

1757
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:06,240
Speaker 3: And when they lit me up, I slid both the

1758
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:10,840
Speaker 3: guns under my stomach. And when dude was patting me down,

1759
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:14,240
Speaker 3: he never lift my stomach. If I would have went

1760
01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 3: to the county jail, they strip search you. So I

1761
01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:23,559
Speaker 3: had to make bail before that county bus can. Now

1762
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 3: this is what I was going to tell you early on.

1763
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:31,839
Speaker 3: I get home. I'm exhausted from dealing with the Foreside.

1764
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 3: While I are in the Bay Area, flying back, you know,

1765
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 3: doing what I have to do at home, they come

1766
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 3: and bringing my gun. It's days of me being tired.

1767
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 3: I drive up pick up the guns come back. Now,

1768
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:46,720
Speaker 3: I'm exhausted. I go to sleep, probably three four in

1769
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 3: the morning, go to sleep. Next morning, out here to

01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 3: somebody's on the phone for you. I'm like, who is it?

1772
01:30:57,640 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 3: She says, he said, his name is Rick Cummins from

01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 3: Power one six.

1774
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:03,920
Speaker 1: The next day, that.

1775
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 3: Morning is when I got that fucking phone call from

1777
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:18,000
Speaker 3: So maybe they would have called back, but that day

1778
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:21,320
Speaker 3: I would have definitely missed that call because I was

1779
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:22,280

Speaker 3: car at that time. Yeah, but yeah, I would have

1790
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 3: missed that call. I wouldn't sit here.

1791
01:31:51,080 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: That's one of the best stories we heard.

1792
01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, acting you've had some cameos long as Yard Charlie's

1793
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 2: Angels two, Project x N three Strikes to name a few.

1794
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 2: Any memorable experiences or you got a chance to work

1795
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 2: with a lot of great actors in those projects, Well,

1796
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 2: anyone that jumps out.

1797
01:32:05,200 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 3: I think when I did like Duce Bigelow with with

1798
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 3: Adam Sandler, that was one of those things, man, where

1799
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 3: Adam taught me a lot, because I love the way

1800
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 3: he treated his crew. You know, like I think when

1801
01:32:19,000 --> 01:32:23,439
Speaker 3: people say you set a tone, he set such a

1802
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:26,680
Speaker 3: tone where he was cool, so everybody.

1803
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: Else was going to choice started at the top.

1804
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, And he got me to you know, well,

1805
01:32:31,040 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 3: what do you get paid per movie? I wasn't making nothing,

1806
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,600
Speaker 3: you know, I was doing you know, playing myself and

1807
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:38,479
Speaker 3: that kind of shit. So he gave me a flat standard.

1808
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 3: And that standard is what got me into SAG for

1809
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 3: a certain amount. Every time somebody came, it was like, oh,

1810
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 3: well this is what what big gets. So that was

1811
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 3: a special one to me. That was a special one,

1812
01:32:48,840 --> 01:32:52,120
Speaker 3: and he really took care of me bro with because

1813
01:32:52,120 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 3: it was an Adam Sandler production with Rob Schnyder's Duce Bigelow,

1814
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:59,400
Speaker 3: So that whole camp, with that whole thing was just amazing.

1815
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:01,000
Speaker 1: Man who's big outside of work.

1939
01:39:07,840 --> 01:39:12,439
Speaker 3: because not only was that great music, it just takes

1940
01:39:12,520 --> 01:39:15,680

1946
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,559
Speaker 3: I just want to listen to anything like Darius Rutger

1947
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:41,360
