Speaker 1: by the time this comes out, it'll be out. First
Speaker 1: of all, Yeah, what are you drinking? Seems with spring
Speaker 1: water Soul Shasta. The seams came from Honduras. Fun fact,
Speaker 1: it came from the same place that doctor Sibby used
Speaker 1: to get a lot of his seamus from same dive.
Speaker 1: So help me understand. I mean, I do sea moss,
Speaker 1: but I take pills. Right, they're probably crunched up. You
Speaker 1: said that that's not good for you. It is not
Speaker 1: good because the capsules they weakened on immune system because
Speaker 1: of what they made out out of you know, some
Speaker 1: of them made out of plastic. Another thing. So what
Speaker 1: it does is temporarily it works, but over the time
Speaker 1: it's hard to you know, get get the plastic and
Speaker 1: stuff out of the run. So we're breaking down so
Speaker 1: you this is raw seams. You just put it in
Speaker 1: the water, and this is your this is your drink. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the mas zill is it? Is it? Good's it terrible?
Speaker 1: I'm used to it now, you know whatever. I feel
Speaker 1: like whatever is good for me. I'm cool with consuming.
Speaker 1: I ain't really looking for the taste of it. I'm
Speaker 1: just looking for the benefits, you know. I'd like to
Speaker 1: point I do think that the first time that people
Speaker 1: really got to get a real glance of where you
Speaker 1: were at on your health, shit on your as they
Speaker 1: call you, Annelie Chakra. I feel like that was when
Speaker 1: it came on my show in twenty twenty talk about
Speaker 1: just like, uh, you know, how how do you feel
Speaker 1: now that you're like, fully, you know, it's been what
Speaker 1: a year and some change that you've been living this lifestyle.
Speaker 1: How do you feeling? Honestly, I feel I feel the
Speaker 1: best I've ever felt. Just knowing my purpose, just knowing
Speaker 1: what I'm here for, you know what I'm saying, knowing
Speaker 1: that I'm here to impact people, last deeple then just
Speaker 1: making music or a song. I feel like I feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just as happy as I ever been
Speaker 1: because I know why I'm here, I know me, I
Speaker 1: know my son. Yeah. So are you like noticing that
Speaker 1: like your fans or people who follow you are starting
Speaker 1: to try to implement some more health ship into their life. Helly,
Speaker 1: a lot of people, you know, my peers, my family.
Speaker 1: Every time I interview with interview, have an interview with somebody,
Speaker 1: something they take away that they hit me back or
Speaker 1: help find somewhere to reach out and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I took this from you. I've been doing this, you know.
Speaker 1: So I feel like just me being vocal about what
Speaker 1: I go through today is like help try the world,
Speaker 1: help people around you. Know. It's crazy because I think
Speaker 1: the first time we met, we're talking and I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: you're super talented, got a good head on your shoulders.
Speaker 1: I think I met you with your parents on the
Speaker 1: radio station. This is right when your ig got taken away.
Speaker 1: Yea might have been the same day I was high
Speaker 1: as hell today, Yeah, And I was like, man, you know,
Speaker 1: you're always up involved in some fucking bullshit on the internet, right,
Speaker 1: And I feel like you've matured so much over the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. And I feel like mentally you're
Speaker 1: in a space where a lot of artists aren't right,
Speaker 1: A lot of your peers aren't really where you are.
Speaker 1: But it feels like people are just trying to always
Speaker 1: drag you, drag you back into old l or just
Speaker 1: into some fun shit Like is it hard to not
Speaker 1: you know, kind of get back into that mind state,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I feel like at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, whatever I was in the past
Speaker 1: is still a part of me. So it's never like
Speaker 1: it's never like you grow so much, it's not there normal,
Speaker 1: you know, It's still a part of me. So certain
Speaker 1: people might get that type of reaction they're looking for
Speaker 1: at me, you know, because at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I've grown and that mature. But at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, at heart and the soul, I'm the same person.
Speaker 1: I'm just more mature than I know how to balance it,
Speaker 1: like win to be this person and when be that?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So if I'm protecting my name,
Speaker 1: my brand, my family, my daughter, my son, whatever, I
Speaker 1: am the person that they once knew me for because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I killed for my family.
Speaker 1: I do whatever I gotta do for anybody around me
Speaker 1: that I love or anything that I love. Of course,
Speaker 1: But it's just about being having a balance of it,
Speaker 1: you know, because at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: gonna come with with you being good, with you being
Speaker 1: on what you're doing, with you trying to be positive.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, That shit gonna come. Negativity, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's gonna come because it's just the devil working overtime,
Speaker 1: trying to knock you off your pivot. Yeah. And then
Speaker 1: I also just feel like, you know, like what the
Speaker 1: explain to me is there is there Like I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you don't have any issues with young boy. It feels
Speaker 1: like he just got issues with everyone. No, I ain't
Speaker 1: got issues with nobody, you know. I mean type type
Speaker 1: of lifestyle I live. There's no room for that. What
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm focused on too much to be able
Speaker 1: to empower what I got, going to be able to
Speaker 1: empower my family, to be able to empower myself, like
Speaker 1: this this little kids stuff, you know, this fifth grade stuff.
Speaker 1: To me. Now, what I'm saying, we do bigger, better things.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to change the world. I ain't got no
Speaker 1: problem with nobody. The beef comes from the mind, the
Speaker 1: beef and the enemy is the mind. Whatever high move
Speaker 1: and pride. You know what I'm saying, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: So that's a real shit. You push back your album
Speaker 1: a week, Uh Dolphin and uh you know obviously everyone
Speaker 1: who was signed the Dolph put out the longer Dolph
Speaker 1: project out of respect to Dolf. You guys are from
Speaker 1: the same city. What was your guys' relationship? Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: I sent him like I sent him two times, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't anover a relationship. That was just Bill like
Speaker 1: you know, I could call on him or call on me.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day was mutual respect.
Speaker 1: You know, I always it wasn't never anything. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day. When I was younger, I
Speaker 1: looked up to a lot of these people, like you
Speaker 1: know the Yl guyis, I looked up to young Dolph.
Speaker 1: I looked up to both of them two camps, because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, with you from Memphis,
Speaker 1: it's like who you can signed to if you blow
Speaker 1: it right now, you're gonna got it, like to talk,
Speaker 1: and I looked up to what they model was how
Speaker 1: they did things. And when I blew up instead of
Speaker 1: signing to either one, I said, you know what them
Speaker 1: guys so now I got my own label. They inspired
Speaker 1: you to just yeah, because you stayed Indy, you could
Speaker 1: have signed to anybody. For real, that's big. What just
Speaker 1: being from Memphis, what it doff mean to the city, Like,
Speaker 1: that's a that's a really serious loss man. Independence more
Speaker 1: than anything I know from my standpoint, because that's on
Speaker 1: my mom teach. You know what I'm saying, anything anybody
Speaker 1: to teach what my mom preaching. What I was brought
Speaker 1: up on. I rock with so independence and at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, family, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: he had he had like two or three kids, he had,
Speaker 1: he had a girl. What I'm saying, You're a family person.
Speaker 1: So when stuff like that happened, I don't even think
Speaker 1: about the person. I think about the family and the kids.
Speaker 1: You know, That's where it hit home, and that's where
Speaker 1: it hit most at are you Are you still in
Speaker 1: Memphis or yeah? I live in Memphis. But if I'm
Speaker 1: not a mythh I'm out here a lot of the time.
Speaker 1: But I like to create that balance because it's certain
Speaker 1: things I want to implement in my city and I
Speaker 1: feel like if I'm out of touch with my surrounders
Speaker 1: at a city, I won't really know what the city
Speaker 1: need right well, I mean, because some people in your
Speaker 1: position might leave Menph it's you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: people leave their hometown, maybe go to Atlanta, just to
Speaker 1: kind of get out the way, because usually you got
Speaker 1: more haters in your hometown than anywhere else. So for you,
Speaker 1: it was like a conscious decision to stick around because
Speaker 1: you want to get back to the city and you
Speaker 1: want to make sure you kind of have yeah, and
Speaker 1: just know how to move. You know, it's all about
Speaker 1: how you move when you in these places. You know,
Speaker 1: don't never go out of bounds. I always stay in
Speaker 1: your same routine. Whatever you do. If you have to
Speaker 1: go out of bounds, don't do it unless you really
Speaker 1: have to go somewhere that you don't go every day.
Speaker 1: You know, if you ain't eating, if you ain't at
Speaker 1: my house, if you ain't in grandma house, be at
Speaker 1: home doing what you gotta do. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: getting your piece together. Because I can come out here
Speaker 1: and I can move around because I know how to work.
Speaker 1: I work out here, but if I'm at home, I'm
Speaker 1: trying to develop a type of thing in space or
Speaker 1: type of piece. So I'm not really in the mix.
Speaker 1: I feel like being in the mix, this one stuff
Speaker 1: goes wrong. I mean the endbounds out of bounds. There
Speaker 1: it is. You were talking earlier that you feel like
Speaker 1: you've reached the peak of your meditation. Yeah, so what
Speaker 1: explain to me how meditation has been for you? And
Speaker 1: just like what is I don't think people understand like
Speaker 1: exactly how to do that? Like it's you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, like give us that breakdown, and like when
Speaker 1: you say you reach the peak of your meditation, what
Speaker 1: do you you know, what are you alluding to? So
Speaker 1: pretty much like as I mean. Okay, So when I
Speaker 1: first started meditating, I was receiving visions same day. I like,
Speaker 1: I like meditate and my eyes would light take like lights,
Speaker 1: Like I could meditate with a certain type of squint
Speaker 1: and my eyes. It was crazy. He used to be
Speaker 1: able to take like certain pictures or whatever that was
Speaker 1: in my eye sight and bring them together and make
Speaker 1: visions out of him. It was crazy. It was like
Speaker 1: some shit I've never seen before, Like on one thing,
Speaker 1: one thing I cannot remember. It was some delivery company
Speaker 1: I think it was X or something, some damn ups
Speaker 1: or something. I was looking at it while I was meditating,
Speaker 1: and I think I broke down the whole letter and
Speaker 1: it made like a symbol. It was like an eye,
Speaker 1: and it was like weird. I was breaking down everything,
Speaker 1: like my third eye was really moving. I would have dreams.
Speaker 1: I have like strong gas dreams where I'd be able
Speaker 1: to feel like I was really there. I still have
Speaker 1: those dreams, but it was more stronger because it was
Speaker 1: something I wasn't the custom to. It wasn't a lifestyle.
Speaker 1: It was like getting introduced to it. But now it's
Speaker 1: like I still have those dreams, but I don't want
Speaker 1: so have like the visions or certain things like that.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I just reached the peak of
Speaker 1: my independence of meditation. Now I want to implement certain
Speaker 1: things like like tribal and meditations, or like meditating with
Speaker 1: like a group of people, like certain stuff that can
Speaker 1: strengthen what I got going on, like mushrooms yours shrooms too,
Speaker 1: or have you ever heard of ayahuasca? Ayahuasca? I have
Speaker 1: heard that I have her. They come off a plant. Huh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to go to Costa Rica, get a shaman, prepare,
Speaker 1: drink that ship and then you know, I heard as
Speaker 1: I heard a song to it, resead, is that not
Speaker 1: what reset your whole mind? Yeah, that's what they say. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's like like I had a friend do it
Speaker 1: and he said it was like thirty years of therapy
Speaker 1: and like one day. So yeah, ship, that's pretty that's
Speaker 1: pretty deep, yo. How are you? I feel like? You know,
Speaker 1: I saw the tweet you sent out recently about how
Speaker 1: you were saying that when it comes to music, you
Speaker 1: can't get that right. Seemed like if you were frustrated
Speaker 1: when you sent that tweet, where's your mind? Stay at man?
Speaker 1: What was going through your head when that happened? Just
Speaker 1: just just what's going on? Honestly? Like first and first
Speaker 1: and foremost. It's like it's like never really a frustration
Speaker 1: thing to me. It's more so remember this ship, Like
Speaker 1: it's just like it's never like, oh man, you were
Speaker 1: down on yourself. It's never there. It's more so I like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you, motherfuckers. I can show you better
Speaker 1: than I can tell you. I'm gonna be it. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm not feelna i'ma I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let y'all. I had a joke, so I'm gonna let you.
Speaker 1: I had a talk, and I'm gonna let y'all had
Speaker 1: a science stuff. I'm gonna let y'all do that. But
Speaker 1: everything come around for a circle. Motherfucker's gonna they're gonna
Speaker 1: be like all that. He said that, and you know,
Speaker 1: people gonna be on my dick. Just watch because like
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I look at it
Speaker 1: like this. People only see a glimpse of what you
Speaker 1: really got going. They don't never see what you're doing
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. I work my ass off like every day.
Speaker 1: I'm working hard as fun. Like my work ethic is unmatched,
Speaker 1: and I can I can vouch like it's unmatched. I
Speaker 1: ain't nobody doing what I'm doing. So I know what's
Speaker 1: mine is coming to me. I know it's already here.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be this year. So I sent there. I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make sure I get this tweet out in January.
Speaker 1: So when it comes December thirty, first, they gonna say,
Speaker 1: God damn, Chop had a hell of a year. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be fat and they're gonna remember that tweet. Is
Speaker 1: it hard for you to not pay attention to outside
Speaker 1: noise or not pay attention to like obviously you're on
Speaker 1: social media. You know, I know people some people like
Speaker 1: I know that don't they just don't follow nobody. They
Speaker 1: don't look at the comments, and you know they kind
Speaker 1: of try to step step outside of you know, maybe
Speaker 1: just looking at a lot of shit. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: certain outside noise fuels me. It drives me. I use
Speaker 1: it as motivation as far as like getting down. I
Speaker 1: get down. Probably I get it. I get the slightest
Speaker 1: bit of question and like why, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But with every why, you know, with every question that
Speaker 1: I say, why too, It's just it just it developed
Speaker 1: some type of drive in my brain and the body
Speaker 1: to make me want to keep going anyway, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So I feel I just use it.
Speaker 1: It's fuel. It fuels me. If everybody was if everybody
Speaker 1: was on my dig, if everybody was good, if everybody
Speaker 1: was cool what I was doing, I'd be relaxed. I'd
Speaker 1: be if you're doing good. This shit gonna come so
Speaker 1: uh this year, man, you said you're gonna have a
Speaker 1: crazy twenty twenty two. Obviously the album is out, so
Speaker 1: go get the album. If you're watching this, it's already out.
Speaker 1: But what else? I mean, how are you dropping just
Speaker 1: a ton of music this year? You got you know what?
Speaker 1: I'm dropping a ton of music. I'm dropping a ton
Speaker 1: of gems. I'm doing a lot outside of music with
Speaker 1: TV shows, movies. I'm minim know what I'm saying. Herbs,
Speaker 1: People need herbs, come to me? Whatever are you? Are
Speaker 1: you hustling the health? Are we moving some herbs in
Speaker 1: these streets and seas? I've been doing it last year.
Speaker 1: I moved a lot of herbs. I had a website
Speaker 1: in itally health and Willness. You can check it out.
Speaker 1: You got sea malls. I got herbal viagra. I got
Speaker 1: herbal viagra. Yes, sir? Is that like at the ship
Speaker 1: at the gas station? No, it's better like the rhino pill.
Speaker 1: Is the honey Patrick though. It's like a powder. You know,
Speaker 1: they say that stuff's natural. I don't believe thematural. If
Speaker 1: it's in the gas lation, not natural. Show you something this.
Speaker 1: You've tested the herbal viagra, Yes, sir? And it works, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: your ladies here it works. She ain't. She ain't felt
Speaker 1: that out, you know. Honestly, seems a herbal viag or
Speaker 1: to itself really shout out to seems. Anything Semas doesn't do,
Speaker 1: will it change my oil? I'm just playing, I know
Speaker 1: what you're telling me. I mean, I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: being a dead But now for real though, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a natural. It's pretty much a natural viag too. So
Speaker 1: you drink seamas, get hard on pretty nicely. No, it's
Speaker 1: just it helps your endurance in a big Okay, get
Speaker 1: hard off of it. But when you want to think
Speaker 1: about your gress, what I think of you know, six
Speaker 1: and hands and then you know, listen, there's this whole
Speaker 1: wave of motherfucker's talking about not busting nuts, seeming retention,
Speaker 1: semen retention, Kevin Gates, talk about it, Joey bad I
Speaker 1: talk about you, talk about it. Please elaborate. No, it's
Speaker 1: good for you, first and foremost, your your ejaculation is life.
Speaker 1: So once you give a part of life away, you
Speaker 1: lose a part of life. You know, I tell everybody
Speaker 1: these example, with one niche, you can run eight miles.
Speaker 1: It's like the equivalent to eight miles, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? The mouths. You know how many footsteps that is?
Speaker 1: Really one neck can make a whole child. You think
Speaker 1: you can't, you can't. You know what I'm saying, you
Speaker 1: can't go to extra male or do your work or
Speaker 1: do extra stuff within that. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So it's better to keep it in and you feel better,
Speaker 1: like just go on to similar retention, like you how long?
Speaker 1: Just try? Like how do you? Guy? Six? I mean
Speaker 1: often I married. My wife's beautiful. We be fucking you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, So like, just try. I feel
Speaker 1: like my wife would be offended if I didn't come now,
Speaker 1: She'd be like what the fuck And I'd be like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm ely chopper. Eighteen year old kids told me, yea,
Speaker 1: do seemen retention? So okay, So is it hard to
Speaker 1: like not get your ship off. You got to have
Speaker 1: a goal. If you put a goal in place, if
Speaker 1: you be like, okay, this week, I want to record
Speaker 1: seven songs and this is like a song today. You know,
Speaker 1: if that's your goal, attack it. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But with you having six and bus on the hunter
Speaker 1: and that it might not be possible. Because let me
Speaker 1: make it more realistic. I'm gonna speak on my terms,
Speaker 1: like I try to record three songs a night, if
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm in for a week, if I got
Speaker 1: a week recording, says, So I'm trying to do three songs.
Speaker 1: There's twenty one songs in one week. That's a that's
Speaker 1: an our album, two albums. So you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: If that's my focus, if that's my approach going into
Speaker 1: that week, I can't have six because I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: too tired. I want certain hours that's gonna be knocked
Speaker 1: off with each a certain hour be knocked off. So
Speaker 1: once you develop a goal or focus some to drive towards,
Speaker 1: I feel like that's when you implement it, you know,
Speaker 1: So when you are doing retention seeming retention and then
Speaker 1: you still fuck right, I'm just trying to understand this.
Speaker 1: I haven't done it to where I'm fucking and like,
Speaker 1: so you'll just be celibate. Yeah, ok I'm not fucking
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not sometimes because I'm just wondering
Speaker 1: if that's the case. When do you know when it's over? No,
Speaker 1: I ain't got the you know, like when you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, you're good because I'm I'm this okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So you just have to you tell wife, he like, hey,
Speaker 1: look the next week I'm chilling. I got an album
Speaker 1: to finish. I got a marathon I'm training for. That's
Speaker 1: why boxers aren't supposed to boxing. No sports. Well, you
Speaker 1: know they say you can't, you can't funck before you
Speaker 1: fight because it's like it fucks with your endurance and likes.

Speaker 1: I'm gonna really have to train. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: take this part of my life off and do this.
Speaker 1: I ain't really ready for that. If I get older,
Speaker 1: if I'm the did everything I had to do when
Speaker 1: my ears, did everything I had to do with my music,
Speaker 1: did everything I had to do with TV, food truck,
Speaker 1: all this stuff, all this stuff is running well. Then yeah,
Speaker 1: but you got a food truck Beagan food truck? Was
Speaker 1: it in Memphis? Nice? How was I mean? Because the
Speaker 1: restaurant industry is obviously a hard industry to get into,
Speaker 1: right hard, but the food truck eliminates a lot of
Speaker 1: overheady simpler Yeah, yeah, it's going well though, Yeah it's
Speaker 1: going good. I broke it out like five times. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get it. I'm trying to get a consistent
Speaker 1: team on it to where we can just have it flowing.
Speaker 1: But this year is gonna happen. It's gonna be real consistent.
Speaker 1: I could see you doing like a eventually a nationwide
Speaker 1: vegan fast food chain. What come on? Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: that's just it's just small steps. Start off like that
Speaker 1: so I can learn that master that then moved to
Speaker 1: like restaurants, put some in the city. That's why I
Speaker 1: want to stay in the city. I want to put
Speaker 1: like vegan restaurants. I feel like, with me just changing
Speaker 1: my dad, my mind sets chined. So a lot of
Speaker 1: niggas in my city vegan. The crying way might just
Speaker 1: decrease a little bit. Niggas might start thinking a little different.
Speaker 1: You might be right. I think vegan people are more peaceful,
Speaker 1: Yeah for sure. For show, I mean, at least all
Speaker 1: the ones I know, when's the last time you eat?
Speaker 1: You have? You slipped up and had any meat. Meat.
Speaker 1: Last time I had meat, I accidentally ate some beans
Speaker 1: with some crump meat crumbles in it. Uh. I was
Speaker 1: in the airport and then I didn't know it was
Speaker 1: beefing there, but like after the third bite, I recognized
Speaker 1: it with beef. So you were was fucked up on
Speaker 1: the plane. You weren't like craving wings and we're like,
Speaker 1: fuck it, give me some chicken wings this one time. No,
Speaker 1: I won't be right with myself. I'll be lying on myself.
Speaker 1: Do you miss what do you miss the most? That's
Speaker 1: you don't miss any of the dos. Not everything that
Speaker 1: I eat vegan. It's an alternative to what I used
Speaker 1: to be a custom to. Some of that shit tastes
Speaker 1: like rubber. Though, Man, you just gotta season it right, man.
Speaker 1: Some of that some of that fake those fake chicken nuggets,
Speaker 1: something like the plant based or ship Yeah, I stay
Speaker 1: away from those. It's still that stuff is process is
Speaker 1: a science experiment. So I try to stay away from
Speaker 1: a lot of the I don't know what to call it,
Speaker 1: but it's like it's processed food. It's not the real
Speaker 1: it's not it's frozen, it's boxed up and the real
Speaker 1: ship you know, I try to have like real natural ship.
Speaker 1: I really, I'm really trying to move towards alkaline, you know,
Speaker 1: but I feel like a lot of people that alkaline
Speaker 1: you have to have a shelf with you. What then
Speaker 1: does that mean alkaline? I mean like it's nothing just
Speaker 1: really processed. It's more so everything so here it's like raw,
Speaker 1: like raw food and not just raw, but like everything
Speaker 1: is it's just PhD pH is higher than seven. Couldn't
Speaker 1: you just drink a whole lot of pH water? But
Speaker 1: then like what I'm gonna eat? I'm just being I'm
Speaker 1: just being ignorant, I know, yeah, like let me just
Speaker 1: go get a bunch of a of a centia. And
Speaker 1: that's another thing watched the spring water there's sensu and
Speaker 1: the fucking what's the other water? A little blue one? Well,
Speaker 1: the worst water is aquafina and the sani that ship
Speaker 1: tastes like says spring water. Oh dumb ass boy, Oh
Speaker 1: Evian that too, Fiji, Fiji, those three lights watch out
Speaker 1: for those like they say it's higher in pH or alkaline,
Speaker 1: and it's only alkaline because of the fucking bacon soda.
Speaker 1: Baking soda makes water alkaline, so you know, how much
Speaker 1: is this bottle of water? This is caused a lot.
Speaker 1: It's bottle and glass, no plastic in it to fuck
Speaker 1: up the water and the minerals in it. So everything
Speaker 1: is like a nine dollars bottle of water. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I buy it by the case. Oh so this is
Speaker 1: like your water. No, this is this a story? I mean,
Speaker 1: but they need to I need to bro I need
Speaker 1: an endorsement. I push this water. Ah. Yeah, I'm surprised
Speaker 1: you don't have any endorsements of like some of these like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, healthy places. I gotta meet. I gotta meet
Speaker 1: CEO for sure. I pushed this shit because this is
Speaker 1: all I drink on the matter. Here. You don't get
Speaker 1: a ship to you to Memphis. I tried once, and
Speaker 1: a lot of them busted because of the glass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I try to. I pack them in my suitcase
Speaker 1: real good when I'm flying back. Yo. That I know
Speaker 1: you've already spoken about it. But the incident that happened
Speaker 1: at the airport that went viral, which is just by
Speaker 1: the way, some of the fuck boys shit will happen,
Speaker 1: not on your behalf. Obviously, having like some shit like
Speaker 1: that happened, does it just make you like, like a
Speaker 1: little bit paranoid moving around because I feel like when
Speaker 1: you're popular, not just you, just anybody. You're like, anybody
Speaker 1: can try to go viral off of just putting you
Speaker 1: in a fucking stupid situation, and it's got to be like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be fucking paranoid after some shit like
Speaker 1: that happened. I mean, it's a society we living in, bro,
Speaker 1: you just got to embrace it. Everybody got a phone,
Speaker 1: everybody won't sometime type of cloud or whatever on stuff
Speaker 1: like that happened, so you can move according to and
Speaker 1: improve What was wrong? Why did he get that close?
Speaker 1: It's just some symbol like making sure security with you seven,
Speaker 1: not because you're scared of somebody coming, because you're smart,
Speaker 1: you got a family, because like you know, because because
Speaker 1: what if it what if it was somebody who was
Speaker 1: actually what if somebody what if he had a gun? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know we was reacting in the rental car cinema,
