I don't do much, um, 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:40.720 just dinner, drinks. That's about it, saying I didn't uh. 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:43.479 I didn't hang out until Sunday. I came outside a 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:46.440 little bit on a couple of spots. But this weekend 0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:49.400 was real chill, taking it easy because next weekend it's 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:56.600 Super Bowls. It's let it's Reana Bowl right now. I 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.320 do want the Eagles to win, Okay, I feel like 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:06.039 they are. They got out your good energy, so yeah, yeah, um, 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.040 I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.319 have any place in particular. I'll find someplace, but then 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.480 I'm pretty sure a few people gonna be having some 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:16.560 Super Bowl parties. I could pull up all right, I 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.200 want to go get all the Super Bowl food. Just 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.680 all I can have is meat and vegetables, though in cheese, 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:27.039 I can't have anything sweet or bread or I know 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.280 I funked up last night though I'm out of cutosis. 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.880 I know I am today. I'm starting back over now. 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.920 I can't do a super restrictive diet like that. I 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.600 have tried, Jesus Christ. I mean, the most restrictive thing 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.520 I think, and it's just not restrictive anymore, is just 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:47.000 like stop, you know, eating meat, like big, big, big meats. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.520 Other than that, I'll just try to cut back because 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.000 if it, you need a chocolate your cookie every now 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:59.400 and then. Alright, so let me see what we got 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.880 going on there this week and stupid internet news the 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:07.040 sins of a week. It's Black History Month, and like 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.160 Malcolm X once said, the white man will try to 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:15.880 satisfy us with symbolic victories rather than economic equity and 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.880 real justice. That's when Malcolm X once said, and here 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:25.880 we are in and we got schools in New York 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:31.800 City serving our children chicken and waffles and watermelons. I 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.400 like that ship. I that ship. I'm sorry. I love chicken. 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.640 I love waffles and I love watermelon. I would have 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.400 been so happy at school with that meal. Yeah, but 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.760 serve it every day, have it, serve it as a 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.000 delicacy once a month or something. I don't know why 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.200 you wait till Black History Month to serve that to 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:54.920 the students. M hmm, all right. It's kind of like, 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.639 damned if you do damned if you don't like how 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.880 do you how do you want to celebrate Black History? 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.240 It was I feel like we want the check I 0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.920 just told you with Malcolm mar An elementary school. At 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:10.280 an elementary school, they thought that they probably thought it 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.120 was a fun way to incorporate something that black people 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:18.639 enjoy for Black History. You are assuming that all black 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.160 people enjoy. I don't need chicken. I don't eat fried chicken. 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.560 When I get the waffles, I might get fried shrimp 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.800 on the side. White people eat that ship too, What 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:30.799 are you talking about? They're gonna eat it on Black 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.080 History money on the first day in school with these 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.760 everybody else And watermelon And if I wish people would 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.160 go look into the history as to why black people 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.960 are associated with watermelon, it really wasn't because we just 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.000 enjoyed watermelon. That was one of our main crops, especially 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.480 in the South. It made black people a lot of 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.960 money selling watermelon, and that would include selling watermelon to 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.560 white people. Everybody likes a nice cold watermelon slice on 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:59.320 a goddamn Sunday when it's hot outside. That is that 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.920 should not be like you was so happy to have 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.120 it at school, though I would have been so happy, 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:08.600 all right, So y'all. New York school apologizes for Sara 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.360 watermelon chicken and waffles on the first day of Black 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:16.240 History Month after complaints it reinforced negative stereotypes of food. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.360 Vendor issued an apology after the lunch they gave students 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.599 at Knack Middle School on the first day of Black 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:28.039 History Month was deemed in sensitive. I agree lunch, excuse me, 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.280 lunch of chicken and waffles with watermelon for dessert, which 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:36.320 a student claimed reinforced negative African American stereotypes. A student, 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:47.680 a middle school student, had to correct adults man, waffles stupid, stupid, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.480 and then you got down in Miami. Down in Miami, 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:56.120 they decorated a police car. Okay, now that was just stupid. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:59.360 Now that's stupid. But the chicken and waffles ain't stupid. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:06.720 This is what chicken and waffles is so Florida State 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:12.040 Representative Dottie Joseph says that the Miami police car misses 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.400 the mark on celebrating Black History Month by highlighting the 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:22.200 wrong continent. It was the wrong continent on the goddamn ship. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.240 But yeah, we need money. We don't need um even 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.640 with Juneteenth. I'm trying to figure out who even though 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:34.000 Juneteenth is important, Juneteenth was mainly down in Texas, right 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.159 because there were black people down there who didn't know 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.960 they were free. M But there's a lot of black 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.840 people in the South period that chose to remain on 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:45.039 plantations because they didn't know what to do next after 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:50.960 being freed. But to make that a national uh holiday, 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.680 I don't know who wanted that. I would prefer reparations. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.680 So they keep giving us these symbols as opposed to 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:03.200 giving us real while celebrating Juneteenth. But I agree, we 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.279 want the money in the holiday. Yeah, it's just all 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.679 it's awesome bullshit. You know, every other group of people 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.720 you got the Holocaust, you even have And we talked 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.839 about this last year during the pandemic, how the Asian 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:23.400 community they got all these moneys in the COVID nineteen 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.000 hate crime bill. We're get nothing. We never get anything. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.960 We just got the anti lynching bill passed in Mattel 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.680 Anti lynching bill passed. Either it was last year or 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.920 it's not. We need we need some real life, um 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.600 economic advancement at this point, and they ain't trying to 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.119 give it to us. So what's next? I say, force? 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:50.240 But anyway next? Yeah, because Matil died in very long 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:55.599 time ago in our lifetime, we're just now seeing an 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.880 anti lynching bill. Why because black people are still being 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:04.719 lynched in three that's a fact. Mm hmm yep. Happy 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:09.280 Black History monthy guys. What else happened? Yeah? The Grammys 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:14.600 this weekend. I missed it. I was out eating and 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.520 in the city. I don't ever watch it anyway. I'll 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.800 catch a little clips and highlights online, but it's not 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.600 something like I gotta see the Grammys. I should be 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.680 looking boring as hell. But I watched some people that 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.760 I knew who went, you know, I watched their stories 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:36.280 and ship like that. Um, that's about it. Are you 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.320 gonna do our batty of the week for Black History Month? Yeah? 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:42.560 Might as well. Why are we talking about the Grammys? 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.200 So listen the Batty of the Week. This week goes 0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.280 to Viola Davis. Okay, Viola Davis Jones only seventeen other 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.880 people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, Oscar and 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.360 a Tony completing the ego feature um And she did 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:03.160 a speech yesterday at the Grammys, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful. She said, 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.520 the only thing I could think to do was to 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.880 go back to the beginning of my story, because I 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.760 think that once you tell your story over and over again, 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.120 you start to hear it and you start to think, Okay, 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:18.640 how did I get here? It's it's always the journey, 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.160 m right. People always think it's like the end goal. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.520 Is this the actual journey to get to where you're going? 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:33.079 That matters, that's most important. Absolutely, Congratulations Viola Davis. You 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.400 are the Batty of the week. We salute your girl, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.200 Batty who talks back. So I want to talk about 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:45.920 this balloon. Tell me that was floating over the United 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.400 States for about a week apparently, and it was just 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.959 shot down. When was that Friday? Yes? What took them 0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:55.760 so long to shoot the damn throwing down is what 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.880 I need to know. China said. Look, China got rebuttaled 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:01.040 after they shot that balloon. And down. China said it 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:02.679 is cool when they do it. It's a problem with 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:07.280 I do it. Fo China says it reserves the right 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.800 to deal with similar situations after US jet shoot down 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.240 suspective spy balloon. The thing is, I don't believe that 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.120 the balloon was a spy balloon. China conspire on us 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.480 in so many other ways, which they do a k 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.840 a TikTok and all these other things. Devices are made 0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:29.120 in China. Everything we deal with right now is made 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.600 in China. So if China wanted to spire on us, 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.720 they would not have to put a balloon in the air. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:38.559 That was symbolism, is what that was like. Play with us, 0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:43.000 We're pulling up. That's how I felt about the balloon 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.480 in the air. It was just symbolism, symbolism for what 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.160 we can pull up. We will pull up. That's what 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.360 it looked like to me, because we know they can 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.280 if they really want to spy on us, they can 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.920 do that in many other ways, and they do do it. 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.160 They have all of our information. Did you let's go 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.080 send a balloon over there? But that's what they're saying. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:08.160 We're having a party. Yeah, obviously this is nothing abnormal. Obviously, 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.240 this is stuff that maybe the United States has done 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.960 in the past, two little threatening, little reminders that will 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.280 pull up. It's symbolism. So with China is saying, Okay, 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.360 y'all shot our shut down. They reserve the right to 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.920 do that next time, y'all pull up on the territory. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.400 I don't want. Ain't gonna lie. I think it's inevitable. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:32.040 At this point, they're gearing up huge. They're gearing up 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.959 to I saw an article. I don't know how true 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:37.080 it is. I didn't do any deep research, but they're 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:43.800 gearing up to um invade Taiwan. Yeah, and then I 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.280 got nothing to do with us. Well, we can't mind 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.480 our business because the United Nations and stuff like that. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.080 So just like we in Ukraine right now sending more 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.720 weapons and more tanks and ship like that over there, 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.480 the United States don't mind our minded business. And then 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.640 they'd be fun them both sides of the war. So 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.920 like that's like me, you're fighting with somebody else. I'm 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:07.400 gonna give you money and empower them at the same time. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.200 What's the the Swiss, that's who we need to be. 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:15.120 Like the Swiss don't mind, they fun, They mind they 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.480 fucking all the fun up things you can think of 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.400 starts in Switzerland for sure. You know, people be like, oh, 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.120 we're gonna put in a Swiss bank, that's where all 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.240 the secrets are at. But they don't funk with no. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.160 But they don't get in nobody's ship, not publicly. But 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.680 their hands being everything is what I'm saying, their hands 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.880 literally being everything in history. Switzerland has something to do 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.800 with every fucking thing. I like that. I like to 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.280 say when people like, what do you think, I'm like, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:45.719 I'm like the Swiss, you know, the ship, but you 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:54.480 starting ship behind the scenes, bitch starting ship. Yeah, that's 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.520 it's wild man, It's a wild time. And I just 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.280 think that we may see war in our lifetime we 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.360 make another one. I mean our knows that I'm talking 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:08.120 about on American school, that American soil, I think. So, 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.760 you know, and what makes me scared about that balloon 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:15.280 being over? Uh? You know Charlotte in South Carolina. You know, 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.440 Charlotte is the number two banking hub in the United 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.960 States Myrtle Beach. Think about that. How close Charleston is. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:27.200 We have a naval base, Fort Bragg, Fort Jason, all 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.920 the bases on Charleston and the banking Hub. Mm hmmm 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:36.720 mm yeah, they know what they're doing to Jamaica. Yeah, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:40.720 that's why I want citizenship in another country. You're gonna 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:42.640 gonna be having that sh it out. But I really 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:47.120 want to go to Barbados. I want citizens citizenship in Barbados.

Yes, all right, I just gotta say this, 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.120 all right, there's characters and movies and shows that when 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.520 you see them in real life, you're gonna be like, yeah, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:59.960 we got smoked because of what you did on that show, right, 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.040 And I always felt like if I ever saw you, 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.800 I was gonna have to throw hands because you're killing 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.600 rain Now, man, how are you gonna kill the baby? 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:16.560 I mean, she she had it coming, she had to go, 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.720 She had to go. Do you have like weirdos like 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.280 me come up to you and be mad at you 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:27.200 for real life? Sometimes you can't from real life? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, honestly, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.480 it happens quite often, honestly, you know what I mean, 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.800 Like though, you know, because first because I think people 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.280 had you know, they kind of have this image in 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.840 their head as to like who I am. So sometimes 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.240 when they see me in person, you know, you know, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.280 because it's I'm just me. I'm just being regular. So 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.160 it kind of throws them off because in their head 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.960 they're like, wait, you're supposed to be this me, motherfucker, 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:55.360 that's right exactly. But then when they meet me, it's like, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.280 I'm pretty cool, I'm pretty chill, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:03.080 So it's like it's that initial oh ship, that's you, 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.760 that girl? Right. If I had a dollar for every 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.720 time somebody asked me why to kill that girl? Yeah, 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.480 on the internet. The Internet's how crazy? Was the Internet's 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:18.680 going on? You? You know, stupid ship. I don't remember 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.480 that was that was like years ago, but there was 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.480 definitely like funny memes and a lot of people onto 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.520 my comments like Yo, I'm gonna get you like if 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.400 I ever see you out, you know what I'm saying. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:31.560 So all right, So I took acting classes a few 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.600 years back, and I had to do like this scene 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.560 where I had to like like getting my emotions right 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.200 and get sad so I could do the scene, and 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.520 I couldn't get out of that sadness. Like after it 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:43.920 was over, I went home and I was sad all 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:47.040 day and I was like, damn, like I'm holding onto that. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.000 Do you like, do you walk away from it just 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.480 like the scene is over? You just kill the kid? 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.320 You know? Do you just walk like, oh, let's go 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:59.160 have Starbucks now? Or how does that? I mean? I 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.560 remember that that night we shot that scene. It was 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.400 it was probably like it was like three or four 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.479 in the morning honestly when we shot that scene in particular, 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.720 and it was super cold outside. Um, but for me, 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.000 like I don't, yeah, I don't really take it home 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.880 like that, Like once once they cut, I could let 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.840 it go. Well yeah, but then you got some you know, 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.040 no offense. But you've got some actors that like, oh 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.680 I need to eat, breathe, and sleep the road, which 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:33.480 is cool, but you know this, it's called acting for 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.520 a reason, right, you know what I'm saying. So you know, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.440 now that's not to say like I don't you know, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.720 do my best to like you know, internalized things. We 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.480 just kind of make um, these characters real for myself, 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.960 you know what I'm saying. Like one of my a 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:51.840 strong philosophy of mine is that, honestly, I feel like 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:57.560 every character lives somewhere inside you. What makes it different 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.560 is that you know, like no one in the world 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.120 is like you. You know what I'm saying. So my 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.479 version of Ray Ray might be different from say, your 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.639 version of Ray, Like you know what I'm saying. So 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.239 for me, I always look at it as okay, so 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:14.160 what how would I approach this situation or like what 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:18.280 how can I make this scenario real for myself? Which 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:23.040 is gonna make it um unique and specific, you know 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.120 what I'm saying, Because we don't want to like generalize 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:28.520 things because then you know, there's nothing interesting about that. 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.720 So for me, like, you know, working on that character 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.760 was actually kind of fun to tap into that evil. 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.960 I guess you know what I'm saying. It was a 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:47.440 lot of fun. It was fun. It's crazy, it's kind 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.359 of fun. It's kind of fun, Like I know, you 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:55.240 want to touch the rekas right. He see, he was 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.639 the one that was really supposed to get it, you 0:17:57.680 --> 0:17:59.840 know what I'm saying, Like he was really the one. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.359 But you know, his sister guy in the way, she 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:08.600 knew too much. All right, So I went on social 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.359 media and you don't post a lot. You don't post 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.000 a lot at all. You're like me, I don't. I 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.640 hate I honestly hate having having I feel like now 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.639 I have to share my life more because of this podcast, 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:25.800 but it's not something I enjoyed. Are you similar in 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:30.160 that way or why are you so like not? Okay? Yeah, 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.760 I think for me, I mean like I'm just kind 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.919 of I'm just using pretty much a private person just 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:41.439 in general. But um, I actually am on like a 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:43.879 similar path, like I did tell myself, like, okay, like 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:49.440 maybe I should uh start posting more being more sociable. 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.359 I mean, I ain't about to be brand new with it. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.080 You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna still be me, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.160 but I just you know, let you in a little more. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.000 You know, you know what you mean, you know, because 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.359 because I get it. You know, some people, you know, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:07.760 they look at you know, they look at people on 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.280 you know, the platform that I'm on and doing what 0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.320 I'm doing. You know, for some people it's inspiration and 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.480 for some people it's you know, for them it's how. 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.040 You know, because I get a lot of questions about 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.520 like yo, bro, like how did you get into the industry, 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.439 or like how do you get on the show and 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.000 things of that nature. So I know that you know, 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:28.920 probably be good too. Just give a little insight as 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:33.119 to like what I'd be doing. Nothing crazy though, you 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:36.040 know what I'm saying, nothing crazy for those for those 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:42.600 who were my close friends, they know what's going on. Yeah, 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.720 I'm notorious for my close friend activities. I'm a little 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:53.320 notorious for green green circle stories. The green circle stories. 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.760 Y'all know what. Y'all know what's good the time? It 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:58.399 is because you know, I travel a lot. You know 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.840 what I'm saying, things happen in different like a rapper, 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:06.480 you'd be out here acting like la No, I'm still 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:12.320 I'm still low key with it a little bit. Distant loving. Yeah, 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.639 that's like a Marvin Gay song, Distant Lover? Is that 0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:17.240 how you came over that? There you go? Yeah, I'm so. 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.760 I'm a big Marvin Gay fan. Marvin Gay is my 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:24.360 favorite artist of all time. Um, I love Marvin Gay everything, 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:28.680 Marvin fun with um. So it was just a play 0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:32.359 on the song distant loving. Okay, you got a girl. 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:36.520 It's a player on the song distant Lover. Sorry, um, 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.520 just in it. But if you think about it, that's 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:43.840 literally what social media is. Just in love it, you 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.040 know what I mean? Because we're because we're looking at 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:50.880 pictures and videos from a distance, we're not necessarily there, 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:53.359 and we're liking them. You know what I'm saying, loving it? Okay, 0:20:53.400 --> 0:21:02.440 hearten it. I mean a woman somewhere like I love 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:11.600 you bit in l a you know.

Okay, So you 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:51.480 and your guys you're talking about you were talking about 0:21:51.520 --> 0:21:53.320 how you had an old lady in New York that 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.359 was supposed to move with you when you picked up 0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.560 and moved to l A, but you got the check 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:04.000 and you dipped out on her.

Wait wait, wait, just for 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:25.520 the people, just so the people know that's a podcast 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:29.280 where they give you could you drink as as the 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.560 interview goes, just so you know, so you know what 0:22:31.560 --> 0:22:33.320 I'm saying. I might have got a little loose with 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.920 the tone. So you gotta remind me if you was 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:39.080 my ex nigger, I was trying to smack your ass 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:44.080 after that interview. Let's just be clear.

Nigger got an epiphany talking to his 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:03.320 manager for a little bit for months, and his old 0:23:03.400 --> 0:23:05.640 lady was holding her apartment down, but he only knew 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:08.600 her for about three months, right, but she had the 0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:12.200 house holding her apartment down. He goes back to New York, 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:16.840 they get the check out. All of a sudden, relationship 0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:21.720 went down to dream. He moves to l A without 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:27.760 his old lady, and he smashed a bit, and he 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:34.000 smashed the bitch that she'd been asking him about.

You you fucked up 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:58.439 the story a little bit. Some women do. But first 0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:02.240 of it, we don't think you're a bad person. That 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.439 was what happened. This is what happened. Yes, I was. 0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:09.280 I wasn't a relationship. This was years ago, Mike. This 0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:14.320 was a no no no, no, no, no no no, 0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:17.720 right before the pandemic. That wasn't like two thousand and 0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.479 Rain ain't been dead. That that was no, no, no, 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:25.040 that was like in twenty sixteen. Okay, that was in 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:33.640 Um that was no, no, no, no, I'm bugging, I'm 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:43.560 bugging like so any who. Uh, yes, I wasn't a relationship, Um, 0:24:43.600 --> 0:24:47.800 but me shooting Rain or the whole power situation, that 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:51.120 wasn't the reason we broke up. The relationship was on 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:54.879 the outskirts anyway. Um, we had talked about moving to 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.200 l A together, but I knew in my heart of 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.040 heart that that was a trip that I needed to 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:02.679 do solo dolo, and I think I was right about that, 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:08.400 Like it paid off. But yeah, unfortunately our relationship did 0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:11.879
