Yeah, 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.200 And it was like one of the only times where 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.560 I felt like in Phoenix there was like a real 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.960 movement that like was like oh shit, Like imagine if 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.920 all the dopest people in your city came together and 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:29.520 like rolled in Unison, and yeah, it was it was dope. 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.240 It was a dope moment. We got, We got some 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.480 magic bro we got some songs from back then. That's 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.080 still if it was to come out right now, slap 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.040 ship that nobody even heard, you know what I mean, 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.240 because we never really put music out, you know, like 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.080 people knew us. Uh, we hadn't put music out as 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:48.560 a collective, right. Everybody had their solo projects. But you know, 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.480 I take a lot of responsibility for things coming apart 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.880 because you know, I was doing illegal things and you 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.880 know you got locked up, right, Yeah, I was on 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.520 a run for a long time. So basically like with me, 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.720 like I was selling drugs. I was selling weed, which 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.280 is legal now, but you know, whole selling it to 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.920 the East Coast, to New York, Atlanta. A lot of guys, 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.840 a lot of guys of a hip hop size, right 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:15.200 Oh no, no no, no, for sure you already know you know, 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.000 so so I know some of them through that, right, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:22.760 But my life, I'm so authentic. I was being authentic 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.400 all the way across the board, you know what I'm saying. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.159 So I'm making money here, but I'm doing other things 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.039 in the streets that I probably shouldn't have been doing, 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:31.400 you know what I'm saying, And it all caught up 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:34.520 to me. So, you know, a lot of violence, a 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.680 lot of in Arizona. It's a huge state, but it's 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.680 small every and the cops know everything, you know what 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.359 I mean. So they bored you know, they know everything 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.839 to a tea because not only do they know everything, 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:54.120 but literally everybody out there is snitching. Like they was 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:56.960 going so hard on me. I had to hire an 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.920 investigator to find out what was really going on because 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:02.880 I thought maybe there was some other secret indictment, you 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.760 know what I'm saying, because there was some Yeah, I 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.680 was nervous, damn something like they got they got a 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.760 heart on from me for some reason, and I had 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.080 when they got me, had no priors. So, uh, come 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.160 to find out, there was people that I was around, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.200 pretty big people, you know what I'm saying, that had 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.320 major cases that were throwing me under the bus. You know, 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:25.520 even it was like hearsay stuffs because I kept everybody 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:26.919 out of my business, you know what, I'm saying my 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.960 operation was small. So is that my phone or your 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.960 phone that's your Jesus Siri might not talk English, so 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:42.839 pone what we're doing. That's weird. Continue Yeah, But so anyway, 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:47.040 we found out that, you know, like everything, like people, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.800 they would always ask about me, and people would give 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.040 their opinion on what I was doing. And one of 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.599 the guys ain't gonna say his name. I looked out for. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.120 We caught cases around the same time, but his was 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.479 state and federal. He was he was done for, but 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.280 he he worked with them. But he came over recording 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.760 me with uh in the key fob, michaerophonea key fob? 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.440 Was this a person in this on the scene in 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:13.479 Phoenix at the time? No comment, heels, but yeah, was 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:18.560 it ad Nah? But anyway, so they got me. They 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.800 heard me saying really bad things, you know what I'm 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.160 saying because I were trying to figure things out, and 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.479 I'm like somebody snitching and you know, you know what 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.080 comes with that. So it was stuff that was not 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.440 admissible in court, but it seasoned the perspective or the 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.440 perception of my my prosecutor, you know what I'm saying. 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.800 And they tried to use Man up Squad as a gang, 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.479 and they say I was a gang leader kind of 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.680 like this this ship they're doing with you know what 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.359 I'm saying. So they but I was like fuck that. 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.960 So I had to have a whole like trial to 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:49.719 prove they had to prove that I am a gang 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.480 leader and Man of Squad was a gang. And they 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.279 didn't have nothing on it because they gotta they gotta 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.080 show that there were two or three felonies committed in 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.840 the name of the organized to certify it as a gang. 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.680 Beat this shit. This is fucked up. If Now, first 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:07.919 of all, when they put you put a gang junction 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:11.040 on you, most people don't don't try to fight it 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.040 right right, right right, and most people say yeah, I'm 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:16.640 in such and such gang. They just fucked themselves. So anyway, 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.120 that's an additional ten years on top of anything that 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.840 happens if you're if you're considered in a gang, if 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.880 you have a two year of burglary, getting twelve years 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.240 just because you're in a quote unquote gang. Right, Wow, 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:30.880 target this shit, you know what I'm saying. And it's 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.040 crazy because like you know, when if you think about 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.240 like a guy, like a hot Rod. He was like 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.120 a mortgage guy before he was run. Yeah, a lot 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.640 of the guys were not involved in anything. Some of 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.040 them a mirror that's like my brother right there, man. 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.559 But great producer, man, great person all around. He separated himself, 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.200 and I'm glad that he did because the people that 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.960 I was really like were really friends of mine. They 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.080 just seeing the direction and they were just like, I 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.480 ain't with that shit, and I'm glad they did. And 0:07:57.400 --> 0:07:59.240 so you know, at the end of the day, it 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.400 was just me standing there, you know what I'm saying. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.200 But I hadn't do it like a man. I did 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.040 run for a minute. How long were you on the run? 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:10.680 Seven years? Seven years? So give me the year to year, 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.120 like two thousand and seven, six years, two thousand and seven, 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.560 everything happened. I caught two kgs one O seven. When 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.600 eight and O seven it got kind of like dismissed, 0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:27.000 but without without prejudice so they could bring it back. Right. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.760 It was really a weak case, you know then, so 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.480 I'm out, you know, in eight I called another case. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.000 And I'm trying to like at this point, I'm trying 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.040 to really like straighten up, you know what I'm saying. 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.160 Actually in O seven, I was trying to straighten up. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.520 But it was like people always say when you're making 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.720 that kind of money, fast money, like I'm gonna I'm 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.239 gonna get X amount and then get out. It's impossible, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:51.720 you know what I'm saying. Get it? I mean, yeah, 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.720 it's I'm sure it can happen, but it's really hard, 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.440 you know what I mean, because it comes so fast. 0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:58.120 You spin it just as fast as you get it, 0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.400 because you know you can get it again, you know 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.480 what I mean. So I was like, fuck, I just 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.720 got to keep getting it. And the fighting cases was expensive. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.400 So I'm fighting cases ankle bracelet, still trapping, you know 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:15.280 what I'm saying. So so eight caught another case. They 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.720 came and got me. I had a bunch of guns 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:21.120 in my house and they brought the other cases. They 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.080 brought both cases back simultaneously so they can get me 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.360 on felony release with weapons. So they tried some slick 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.800 shit pull me over in the middle of the street. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:32.679 It was so over the top. I'm like, all right, 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.360 shotguns and shit. But you know, you go through the 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.480 horseshoe and you see the judge in twenty four hours 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.000 and she was like okay, well she's about to say 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.560 the bond and this fucking woman on the side like, actually, 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.480 you're on it. He doesn't get a bond. He's a dangerous, 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.319 violent felon. He's a serious crimes and he has all 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.599 of these guys like eight case you know, Arizona. That 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.800 shit legal, right, but you know what I'm saying, But 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.320 it just looked bad. Yeah. I don't even think it 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.000 was as legal back then though as it just now, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.600 because now it's like it was it was super legal. 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.640 But I think now, like, okay, I know what it is. 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.760 It's a law that they got that saved my life 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:13.680 called standard ground no Castle doctrine, that's what it's called. 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.720 They didn't have it when my shit happened, right because 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.439 everything that happened happened in my house, you know what 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.600 I'm saying. You know so, but I was gone for 0:10:22.640 --> 0:10:25.280 so long by the time they got me, they had 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.040 that law. So if you're on the run, so you 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.200 find out your percentually looking at serious time and you 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.600 decide to just say fuck it. So I tell you, listen, 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:37.440 I live life, life, don't live me. Nothing happens to me, 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.360 I do you know, And I'm not like saying that 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.640 in a egotistical way, but I will not allow somebody 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.720 else to determine my faith. It's not happening. And I 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.040 didn't feel like what they were trying to get. If 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.720 they would have said like three years, five years, I 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:53.800 was like, all right, it is about fifteen to twenty 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:57.400 years with no priors. That's crazy. This ain't happening. So 0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:58.520 you mean to tell me my kids are going to 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.840 be adults when I get out. I'm cool and you know, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:07.280 and people don't realize with a violent offense, especially something 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.560 of the nature of mind, you're in a way worse 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.319 type of facility. It's gladiator school, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:14.440 So I'm like, I know I'm gonna be in there 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.560 having to defend myself catching more cases. So it just 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.440 looked bleak, you know what I'm saying. So I'm like, nah, 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.080 I'm good, I'm out of here. So where'd you go? 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.280 All over? You know, over the country. I left the 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:30.400 country for a minute, and then, like me, you know, 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:33.960 I stayed in communication with my children, and I was like, 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.360 what the fuck am I doing? Like I went on 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.079 a run. So they won't separate me from my kids. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.720 But yourself, separated from my kids. So I came back, 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.199 and you know, I came back. Everybody figured that I 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.040 would have got caught by that, you know what I'm saying. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.600 But I just don't move reckless. I calculate everything. I 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:56.040 study everything about Look, I was a valedictorian student all 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.760 my life, you know what I'm saying, honor student, all 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.440 of that shit. So I just did research and seeing 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.240 what I can do. What in CCS whatever that shit's called, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.480 what do they track everything? I looked up everything. So 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.000 I moved around. So when I got back, people did 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.040 think that I was gonna get got caught by then, 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.040 and then some of my friends they were like, yo, 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:17.520 you can stay with me and you could come back. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.640 I'm like cool, But when I came back, it was 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.840 a surprise to them, so they was like, I don't know, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.040 and rightfully so, because this shit probably wasn't one hundred 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.040 percent you know what I'm saying, and I'm bringing heat 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.720 to them, so I didn't even it didn't bother me. 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.240 I'm glad that no one allowed me to come stay 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.880 because it just put a certain type of motivation, a 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.280 lit a certain fire under me. So I was legit 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:43.120 homeless for a minute, bro, and peate this. I'm homeless, right, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.640 I had, like I still had shit in the streets 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.240 like whips and shit like that, other people subleasing it 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.920 and like motherfucker was talking shit people that was nothing 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.640 to me. You know what I'm saying, I'm like, what, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.440 So I was at a crossroad. I was, you know, 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.360 full of fear, full of anger, for of confusion. You 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.320 know what I'm saying, When you got nothing, I have nothing, 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:08.920 right I don't. It looks like I don't have a future. 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.480 Only I had was like violence and physical force and intimidation. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.920 So I'm like, I'm gonna just go to my my 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:21.920 my default settings and I'm knocking on doors. So I 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:26.079 really was about to like go back to Arizona, you 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.320 know what I'm saying, and just ruined my life. But 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.680 you came back into the country. You you were in Cali. Yeah, 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.120 but I didn't because you would have went to Arizona, 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.240 you would have just started. I would have been making 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:43.920 rounds for what Nothing comes out of that. So what 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.160 stopped me was my son, you know what I'm saying. 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.200 His mother, who's very smart. She made a weird call 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.080 and was like, hey, you want your son here, I am. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.640 She don't even realize I'm homeless. Nobody knew that ship, right, 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.560 I'm like, yeah, I didn't know how I was gonna 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.360 take him or whatever. Get that shit out. So that 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.199 saved my life, you know what I mean. And it 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.160 was one day I started getting my shit together. I'm 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.040 taking him to school. They have a car. I'm walking 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:14.360 and he's little, like six kindergarten maybe something like that, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.680 and or first grade. So while going to school, when 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.720 he comes out, I'm there and you know, he can't 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:23.680 see me because he's little. I could see him. I 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.840 see him looking for me, and I seen this one day. Bro. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.840 His eyes lit up when he seen me and just 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.840 ran just hold onto my leg and then held my 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.120 hand tight and we walked home. And I was thinking, 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:38.120 like fuck, like this little, perfect, little human loves me. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.080 I ain't got no car, I'm got no fly shit, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.560 you know what I'm saying. And you know, when I 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:45.640 had all of that shit, I had nothing but fake 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.920 love around me, you know what I mean. But this 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.440 guy loves me, you know what I'm saying, conditionally, unconditionally, 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.160 So it made me love myself, you know what I mean. 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.920 And shit, has been good ever since then. Bro, you 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.400 know what I mean? So did you ever resolve being 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.560 on the run the law enforce? Don't you? Nah? Yeah? 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.520 I did. I did. They Actually, they came and they 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.680 found me in twenty fourteen, the US Marshals. They came 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:14.560 and got me outside the gym and the marshal. It 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.880 was weird that I was on social media, period, but 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.040 I was on social media initially to stay in touch 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:25.200 with my family, you know what I'm saying. So I 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.320 would I started working as a personal trainer, and I 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:32.200 would use social media for my clients, like showing their progress, right, video, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.280 promote your business, right, And it was giving me a 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:36.680 lot more business. Every now and then I throw a 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.640 little video of myself working out and people were just 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.800 liking all the content. And then it got to words 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.480 more demand for it, and I'm like, fuck it. Like 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:48.080 every day you want to run, you're you're not thinking 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:51.000 you're free, but you feel a little more comfortable every 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.960 day while there's this invisible way hanging in the back 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.760 of your head. It's a dark cloud, dark cloud, bad 0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:01.080 way to live. I'm sure it was not really it was. 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.440 It was stressful, but stress is good depending on how 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.760 you deal with it right. Stress will make you powerful 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.080 or to break you. You know what I'm saying. It 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.720 just made me strong. So and it gave me a 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:15.080 certain sense of urgency to live and to be in 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.320 a moment, in the moment, because you never know. Every day, 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:21.080 every day, Bro, there's many days that I'm imagining them 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.080 in my like at the door of my apartment. The 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.160 worst case scenario fifteen to twenty is serious. Everybody every 0:16:26.200 --> 0:16:28.520 day came and then as a as a fugitive, it's 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.000 an enhancement FOJ enhancement. So you know you're looking at 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.320 more time, you know what I'm saying. So, so what 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:38.720 happened where we were at we were talking about how 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:40.760 you were working out. The US Marshals carry the gym, 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.360 so social media, so my ship just start going viral. 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.200 I'm like, fuck, I can't even stop it. Well, fuck it. 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.840 We'll see what happens. And then it's like people was 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.680 like reaching out to come train with me and shit 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.120 like that, and I'm like tell them fifteen hundred it's okay. 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.320 I like, damn, I'm making money and a lot of 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:58.800 cops was coming to work out with me. You know 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.360 what I'm saying. So I was like, what the fuck? 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.720 You know, But the cops military, that was like a 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:07.080 huge part of my like my base, Like I just 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:09.400 loved that kind of like discipline and that hard work 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.040 and shit like that. So and it just guys too, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.919 you know what I'm saying. So yeah, I developed, I built. 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:20.840 I rebuilt my life right from nothing, the right way, 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.639 all legal, all ethical, everything across my t's dot my eyes, 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.400 doing the most right. And then they came and got 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.280 me and I ain't gonna lie care. I was like, 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.560 I was a little bit relieved, you know, because I 0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:37.920 had to lie to everybody all the time. Nobody knew shit, 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.440 nobody knew nothing right. And I wasn't directly telling people 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.280 or I did I'm from here, or I did this, 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:49.000 but I will walk people down a neighborhood of you 0:17:49.040 --> 0:17:51.560 know what I want them to believe from my past, 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.119 you know what I'm saying. So I didn't want to 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.239 do that shit. So I was like, fuck, I got 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.800 a lot of more. And the marshal that got me, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.040 he was like, yeah, man, we've been trying to get 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.200 you for a minute, but you always you travel aize. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.119 So it was always a couple of days behind you, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.920 and I'm like, fuck, that's crazy. But he was like, Yo, 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.760 you're a good dude and you do a lot of 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:13.800 good for a lot of people. To just get this 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:16.159 behind you and move on with your life. And I 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.520 was like, thank you. But in my head, I'm like, 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:20.720 my life about to be with y'all. You know what 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:23.520 I'm saying. But make a long story short. You know, 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.720 they moved me around all over Cali. Everywhere I'm at, 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.520 cops is pulling me out like what are you doing here? 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:30.800 You know what I'm saying, Like guards and shit because 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.320 they're always into working out and shit. And I was like, 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.600 ask some old shit whatever. So they kept me here 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.800 as long as they could because I couldn't bond out 0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:43.399 here because Arizona. Finally they extradite me and bond was 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.160 a half million dollars. I was like, gosh, yeah, so 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.280 but I did make bond and then I got a 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.800 bomb ass attorney fire. He just beat the fuck out 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:56.320 of the case. Bro wow, eat it. So he was 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.800 whooping them like he was so aggressive. You know what 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:01.679 I'm saying. I'm telling him like you'd probably chill, like 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:03.760 you're gonna pissed them off. He's like, fuck them, I'm 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.320 gonna make them work. And he did. He tried to. 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:09.280 He made them work, and he was so confident. He 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:10.919 just made me Listen, if I would have went to 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:12.760 prison at the end of it, right, you would have 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:14.800 been like, at least we tried. I would have been 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.640 the route to it. I wouldn't have been stressed out 0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.320 because he was so competent and confident, you know what 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:22.199 I'm saying. You didn't like it. Probably the worst thing 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:24.720 that could ever happen is you hire a lawyer with 0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:27.280 your freedom in the in the in the limb, and 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:30.000 it's a shitty lawyer. Oh yeah. And the first one 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.760 I hired was he was scared of everything. He was 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.320 a bitch, Like for real, he was such a coward, 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.560 you know what I'm saying. Because initially he was like, 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.360 we're going to ask for a bond reduction because that's 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.760 not constitutional, YadA, YadA YadA. So when they finally got 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.640 to where they had signed a prosecutor, they still didn't 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:49.919 sign a prosecutor, but they somebody had to show up 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.000 the court, and you know, he didn't want to do 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.560 the bond reduction, and they coming to me panicking. They 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.520 scaring me. Because they scared, I'm like, what what happened? 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.399 Like this happen I don't know about So when I 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.280 just ran the model through my head, I'm like, these 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:08.840 fucking guys are scared. There's not I don't even have 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.200 a prosecutor yet. They don't give you a prosecutor that fast, 0:20:11.240 --> 0:20:14.880 especially for a big case. I'm buying out of his bitch. 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:16.840 Because he was like, save your money. I was like, 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.199 I sat in there an extra month trying to save money. 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:23.159 The fuck that I got out. So yeah, he worked 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.439 for about a month. Then I seen how uncompetent he was. 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:28.399 I got rid of him and got a shout to 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.399 Brian Russo's my guy, Brian Russo. Russo, He's a g 0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:35.960 he's he's he's one of my best friends. Like that. 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.280 I love that man for life. Yeah shit, he beat 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:40.000 the case. Man beat it. So you only had to 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.960 sit down for about a month, a couple of months. Yeah, 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.159 but that's I mean, you know, that's manageable. And listen, 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.480 when people anybody's been locked up, it's like the worst 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.399 day is the first day you're in there, especially in Arizona. 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.520 That horseshoe you got, you're sitting in there with the 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.800 worst the worst. They changed it, by the way, Arizona 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:01.480 don't even want to know. I may or may not 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.359 have been there recently. It's a lot better. Maricopa County, 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.200 La County, and Dade County are the three worst jails 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:09.320 in the country. You know what I'm saying. And you've 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:11.320 lived in all three places, will I've been in two 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:16.880 of them? Yeah, yeah, so not humane conditions. Well they 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.960 changed it, uh with the new sheriff, But then COVID happened, 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:21.760 And now when you go to when you go to 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:24.359 jail for like you know, usually they'd send you to 0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:27.360 like Madison, and you're sitting in a room with they 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.040 send you to like a weight you take a number, 0:21:29.040 --> 0:21:30.800 and you're in a waiting room. You're not even in cuffs. 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:34.520 It's kind of crazy. It's weird, it's funny. It seemed 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:36.080 like that would be cool, but you want to be 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.840 around people. Being isolated is not the vibe. Not that 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.440 first like when you're like super like if you get 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:46.800 arrested for some dumb shit, that first like night or day, 0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.840 when you're like you didn't expect it happening. You don't 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.320 want to bro I've been in jail. Motherfuckers recognize me 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.439 and they asked, like, what are you doing here? I 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:56.960 mean I was only in for like a day or two, 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.600 but like it's like fuck man, Like, yeah sucks. Bro. 0:22:00.880 --> 0:22:02.840 The first day is the worst, you know what I'm saying. 0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:07.160 But then once, just once, you get a bed, I'm sure, yeah, 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:09.680 that's the best. Like just just give me so bad. 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:11.240 They make it so bad that you get something like 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:13.280 a bed. You're like, I'm good, and it's a shitty bed. 0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.560 Oh yeah, you don't have to use that roll a 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.919 toilet paper, is a pillow anything. But but they but 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:24.040 out here. They had me at the old County Jail. 0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:26.879 I heard La County Jail is a wild place. It is, 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:29.320 but we was in the max security. So it's single 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:33.200 man sales and it's bars, like you don't see bars. 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.520 That's like on TV, like they roll this wheel or 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.439 the bars. You know what I'm saying. And bro, you 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.560 ever read the Book of Revelations or the Rapture, I'm 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.680 familiar with it. I'm not a religious man, so now 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:48.840 that am I. But I'm fascinated by literature and that's 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:54.280 a fascinating piece of literature. Revelations that give the description 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:58.040 of hell right, I'm telling you La County Jail, the 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:02.760 Max security side was literally identical because they said Gabriel 0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.720 throws you into like the pit of hell, right, like 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.160 violently throws you. And then in the walls, it's down 0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:12.879 the tunnel was like soul stuck right, screaming and reaching 0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:15.280 for you, and you never hear silence, you know what 0:23:15.280 --> 0:23:18.560 I'm saying. And in there is like you're going down 0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:23.960 down these halls. Motherfucker's you know, hanging out, bro nobody. 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:26.920 They never stopped talking all night. And I'm talking about 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.440 the most ignorant shit you'll ever hear, you know what 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:31.840 I'm saying. Motherfucker's on the top tier talking to the 0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:34.080 bottom tier. They never even met each other, you know 0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:35.920 what I'm saying. Just talking about their baby mama is 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.880 like the dumbest shit. So it's like for a person 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:43.160 who I mean, I'll never say that I don't deserve 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:44.520 to be there, you know what I mean, because everything 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:47.359 happens for a reason. But that wasn't my life anymore. 0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:52.840 It's that part alone was torture, just listening to everybody 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.520 just because you're like, I don't belong here, brost I 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.520 listened to audio books and you know what I'm saying, 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:01.399 I make some class music and with my hip hop, 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.479 and I like hearing I'm a fan of like different 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:08.560 intellectuals in the academia space, and I got to hear this. 0:24:09.600 --> 0:24:12.200 You're like, why am I like? This is this is this? 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.840 This can't be not life. But I took it to try, 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.879 like it's my punishment. I was just fucking deal with it, 0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:19.080 you know what I'm saying, Because I did do I 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:22.000 did do. I did things that wasn't cool, and it 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:23.680 was people that looked up to me and that that 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:27.200 followed me down dark paths, you know what I'm saying, 0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:30.280 And that shit is never cool, you know. Yeah, I 0:24:30.320 --> 0:24:32.240 mean back then, like what that oh five oh six 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:35.680 era of pushing packs was, it was also a very 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:41.640 a lot more money was the margins were greater, oh man, 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.760 because the margins nowadays, like I don't even know, there's 0:24:44.800 --> 0:24:46.840 just not I mean, obviously with the availability of weed 0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:49.320 right the secrets out you can come to la there's 0:24:49.359 --> 0:24:51.879 Instagram pages with distro like it's kind of wild, Like, 0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.359 I don't know what those guys are doing now. I 0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.159 know they're sick to their stomach. So take me back 0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.000 to like oh five oh six, what would be like 0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.840 average that you would pay for a pack and what 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:03.480 did you get it off? For the West coast, the 0:25:03.600 --> 0:25:06.520 average is five hundred dollars four pound, and saying or 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.239 that Reggie, that that era, that ari they call it 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:13.399 the Arizona. They got the purple hairs, popcorn, the good texture. 0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:15.720 But it's just regular weed out door shit outdoor. But 0:25:15.800 --> 0:25:17.720 on the East coast that's like some fire ship. So 0:25:18.400 --> 0:25:21.240 the smaller the town, the more you get. There was 0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:23.800 someplace in Georgia was getting shied off like twelve thirteen 0:25:23.840 --> 0:25:26.879 hundred dollars a pound, but like Atlanta, you getting like 0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:30.800 to nine eight hundred dollars New York seven. But I 0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:33.840 had a I had a fucking hell of a plug though. 0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:37.840 So my connect in a Z was a Pisa, right 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:42.120 always is so no, no, it's usually a Chicano, right, Well, yeah, 0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:44.119 for people who don't know what piece is, the pieces 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:47.480 like straight from Mexico. Chicano's a person who's born here 0:25:47.560 --> 0:25:52.000 in America, right, an American with Mexican descent. A pisa 0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:55.160 is a Mexican from Mexico. You bring the work cheap 0:25:55.720 --> 0:25:58.560 to the to the chicano. The Chicanos usually to connect right, 0:25:59.080 --> 0:26:02.040 but my connect was a Pisa that just is kind 0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:03.960 of like a Chicano because he grew up in America, 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.879 but he's from Mexico. So he was still giving me 0:26:06.880 --> 0:26:10.000 average prices, maybe like fifty dollars less or whatever. And 0:26:10.040 --> 0:26:12.360 he was my homie. So one night we went out. 0:26:12.560 --> 0:26:15.159 I never hung out with him, but he had the 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:19.760 typical stereotypical Mexican tolerance for alcohol, and he got fucked 0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:23.600 up right and fucking with people, and then we turned around, 0:26:23.600 --> 0:26:26.320 he getting jumped. So I went and saved the day, 0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:29.880 you know what I'm saying. And after that he was like, Bro, 0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.000 you saved my life, YadA, YadA, YadA. I'm just sorry 0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:34.639 to hook you up. So he started giving me the 0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:37.479 work at his cost. His cost was, bro, what one 0:26:37.560 --> 0:26:41.240 hundred and fifty dollars? You were just printing money, bro. 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:43.560 So I was just like, at that point, I'm sending 0:26:43.560 --> 0:26:46.240 sh it off and I'm telling the biggest thing was 0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:48.840 like getting your money back in a timely fashion. And 0:26:48.880 --> 0:26:51.520 then over time it's getting more competitive. More people was 0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.080 getting work, right, so it's taken longer for my guys 0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.000 to break down the packs and give me my bread. 0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.080 So I was able to, like, yo, send me six 0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:01.080 hundred six fifty. That way, they had cheaper. They send 0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:04.560 my shirt right away, yeah, or just buy it. And 0:27:04.960 --> 0:27:06.639 I was able to just middle like come get it 0:27:06.640 --> 0:27:10.120 for four hundred. If you come to Arizona, you handle 0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:11.320 getting them to where you need to get it. You 0:27:11.320 --> 0:27:14.280 get it yourself. Yeah, yeah, because then that's the worst 0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:16.800 thing is like when people like want you to put 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:18.960 put the like the works just in the air, ye, 0:27:19.560 --> 0:27:22.800 and your money's not there yet. The biggest like stress 0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:26.639 was like when a pack go out, I'm waiting to 0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.960 hear that touchdown, you know what I'm saying. So, and 0:27:30.040 --> 0:27:32.560 I always well, man, I did it so long, a 0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:37.600 bo with clean streaks, never a box missing I had. 0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.520 We had a driver, It's amazing. He would give us 0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:44.119 an address, take it off his route. Boom, it was smooth. 0:27:44.280 --> 0:27:46.119 You know what I'm saying. Yo. You were mentioning that 0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:49.760 you did some research earlier on how to stay out 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:51.280 of the way if you're on the run. Well, by 0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:53.280 the way, what country did you end up in? I 0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.560 don't really okay tell those things, but what were some 0:27:56.640 --> 0:27:58.879 of the things, like if somebody was watching this and 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:02.399 they're like, what are the things that you learned that 0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.399 they look out for that. I don't know what it 0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.920 is right now, but back then, back then, I would 0:28:09.000 --> 0:28:11.600 This is something that I was afraid of that I 0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:15.200 think they do now. Like I went, you know, when 0:28:15.240 --> 0:28:17.679 you get out of jail, they scan your eyes to 0:28:17.680 --> 0:28:21.800 make sure the wrong person that get released. That technology 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:24.480 was brand new back then, and I remember getting to 0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.760 one country and they were doing a retina scan and 0:28:26.800 --> 0:28:30.960 I was stressed, but nothing happened because nothing was connected. Yeah, 0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:34.040 the databases is the thing. These countries are not connected. 0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:38.280 Matter of fact, the states are not connected. Each state 0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.520 has like two or three states that they're connected to. 0:28:40.600 --> 0:28:43.600 They do they whichever they feel would be the most 0:28:43.680 --> 0:28:47.280 likely that people will go to. So New York, I 0:28:47.280 --> 0:28:49.840 mean California, Georgia is not connected. You know. I've had 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.320 like a outstanding, Like I think I had a warrant 0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:55.479 in Arizona once, but I was living in Idaho at 0:28:55.480 --> 0:28:58.880 the time, and I was some traffic shitting un serious. 0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:01.520 But I was like super freak doubt. They pulled me 0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:03.160 over and they're like you're good to go. Certain. I 0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:07.440 was like, you sure about that you run out against it. 0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.640 But yeah, so I mean, if you if you've been 0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:15.600 in jail, now, these countries aren't connected unless it's some 0:29:15.680 --> 0:29:20.640 high profile case or if it's a murder, if it's 0:29:20.640 --> 0:29:23.480 some kind of rape, sexual assault, or anything to do 0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:28.840 with children, you're in the highest search shit. And that's 0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.480 in CIC or something like that. I might be saying 0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:35.600 it wrong, but they're tracking passports, ID all of that 0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.160 shit all over the place unless you got somebody else's shit, 0:29:38.200 --> 0:29:42.160 you know what I'm saying. So that's one thing. A 0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.480 lot of crimes go under the radar. They got to 0:29:44.520 --> 0:29:46.840 know you there, and then you could do your research. 0:29:46.880 --> 0:29:51.760 It's a Google search to see which countries have extradition 0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:53.600 treaty with the United States, because not all of them, 0:29:53.640 --> 0:29:56.320 do you know what I'm saying. So you could be 0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.040 somewhere like y'all, I'm here, motherfucker, and if there's no 0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:03.320 treaty in place, want fine, You're good. You may And 0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:04.760 I was gonna say you may have a hard time 0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:08.440 with visas, but you don't because Americans pretty much every 0:30:08.440 --> 0:30:11.920 country we go to except for Australia and Canada, we 0:30:12.040 --> 0:30:14.800 have an automatic visa. Now it'll run out and all 0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:17.520 you do is go to the next country to renew 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:19.760 your visa. Get it, you just do, get stamped. Boom, 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:22.080 come right back thirty bucks. You know what I'm saying. Crazy, 0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:23.800 I had to do that shit a lot. Well, we 0:30:23.840 --> 0:30:27.400 always like seeing the movies nowadays probably like like would 0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:29.440 you swap out sim cards and ship or like have 0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:32.280 your Oh then yeah, just whatever. Wherever I was at, 0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.720 I got a phone for there's little trap phone. Yeah. 0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:39.320 It's it's crazy, man. You you realize, like being in 0:30:39.520 --> 0:30:43.200 other countries, I realized how fortunate we are here. I'm 0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:47.160 talking about other like first world countries. It's like just 0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:51.280 having an abundance of legit cell phone companies, you know 0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:54.440 what I'm saying. Yeah, these people only have like one 0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:57.880 or two. Yeah. Yeah, it's and it's shitty. It's kind 0:30:57.880 --> 0:31:01.400 of like prepaid vibes, you know what I'm saying. But nah, 0:31:01.440 --> 0:31:06.360 so that that's easy. You. I feel like, well, here's 0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.840 the thing. Typically when people are on the run, they're 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:11.440 doing illegal things to keep themselves afloat, and that's how 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:13.240 they get caught. You know what I mean. I didn't, 0:31:13.880 --> 0:31:16.840 so I had a little bit of bread saved right 0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:20.280 that I was living off of while I was moving around, 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:24.400 and I had one of my partners who he caught 0:31:24.400 --> 0:31:27.800 a case you know, behind me. I bonded him out, 0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:30.480 did everything, lawyered them up. Then they dropped the case 0:31:30.520 --> 0:31:33.240 on them. So I got that money back from the lawyer, 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:35.520 you know what I'm saying. So I had a little 0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:37.240 bit to keep me afloat for a little bit, you 0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:39.040 know what I'm saying. But by the time I came 0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.000 back to the States, I was running running low, you 0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.480 know what I mean. I had a job, like a 0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:45.920 nine to five. What was your what was your first 0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:48.400 job coming back? I was just a personal trainer at 0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:52.720 the gym, and that obviously proved to be Uh, Lokia 0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:55.840 did pretty pretty well, pretty well. Yeah, where are you 0:31:55.920 --> 0:31:58.640 originally from? Like from Brooklyn, New York. So you're originally 0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:04.440 from Brooklyn? What like the boxing thing? Because you know 0:32:04.560 --> 0:32:07.000 what your YouTube channel I've been describing for a while, 0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:08.600 but I was just like, yeah, I'm just curious, what's 0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:11.040 the most popular shit, the most popular videos You've given 0:32:11.080 --> 0:32:15.160 boxing lessons? Yeah? So how like walk me through kind 0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:18.200 of growing up in Brooklyn and what resulted in you 0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:22.000 getting into fighting and all that. Yeah, Brooklyn is super competitive. 0:32:22.120 --> 0:32:26.040 It is like an overpopulated place, so you always competing, 0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:29.560 playing sports, fighting everything. So I just kind of grew 0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:34.040 up with that aggressive competitive nature. And then my grandfather, 0:32:34.120 --> 0:32:36.240 my pops, introduced me to boxing at the early age. 0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.360 I just thought it was the best sport. It was 0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:41.760 beautiful because I grew up when Mike Tyson was raning, 0:32:41.800 --> 0:32:43.719 you know what I'm saying. So I'm watching Mike Tyson 0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:45.920 and his shit is poetic, you know what I'm saying. 0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:48.160 It wasn't like a boring era, you know what I mean. 0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:50.719 It's probably the best heavyweight era ever. Yeah, he's just 0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:54.560 ermaller than everybody and crushing giants, you know what I'm saying. 0:32:54.920 --> 0:32:57.800 So I just I loved it. So my father sent 0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:00.160 me a pair of boxing gloves and I just take 0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:03.280 him outside and just scrap with everybody. And then when 0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:06.880 I got about twelve, I got into it, you know 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.800 as a sport, like as amateur boxing. So when I 0:33:09.880 --> 0:33:12.560 had my first fight and I just bro I fell 0:33:12.680 --> 0:33:14.720 in love with it. It was over from there, over 0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.440 from me. I still I love it like a motherfucker now. 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:20.600 Like it was a period when I had quit and 0:33:20.640 --> 0:33:23.360 I couldn't watch boxing because it was guys that I knew, 0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:27.160 guys that like you you knew it wasn't but they 0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:29.440 stuck to the script and they're making millions of dollars. 0:33:29.800 --> 0:33:31.520 So it just pained me, you know what I'm saying. 0:33:31.520 --> 0:33:33.080 But that's my own fault, you know what I mean. 0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:34.880 So you think if you were to stuck with boxing, 0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:39.600 be one of those guys for sure? What everybody was like, Yeah, 0:33:39.760 --> 0:33:42.120 he's that guy. Because here's the thing. I didn't have 0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.400 any support though, you know what I'm saying. It was 0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:48.560 just me in New York anywhere, I just mean, traveled 0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:51.640 all over. I have any support with boxing. Nobody my 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:55.320 father was with it. But it's an expensive You got 0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:56.560 to have a trainer, right, You got to go to 0:33:56.560 --> 0:34:00.680 a gym free though, I mean in a poor they 0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:03.440 do that ship for free. So you pay for your book, 0:34:03.640 --> 0:34:06.120 your medicals, your parents pay for that ship. It's not 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:09.319 it's not expensive like that. And then the gyms that 0:34:09.400 --> 0:34:12.400 I grew up in, there's there's a bunch of we 0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:14.920 shared the gloves, you know what I'm saying. So, and 0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.920 and that's really the best case scenario. Like when you 0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.000 give people these kids, like all of this nice shit 0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:23.960 they soft, you know what I'm saying. So my gym, 0:34:24.440 --> 0:34:26.920 we just picked gloves. They stunk, They smell like blood 0:34:26.960 --> 0:34:31.560 and sweat. Just everybody. Yeah, everybody's knuckles unscraped off in 0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.520 the gloves, like you know what I'm saying. But we 0:34:33.719 --> 0:34:36.719 didn't see nothing wrong with it. Our our are the 0:34:36.840 --> 0:34:39.240 tarp in, our rain was just full of blood drops, 0:34:39.400 --> 0:34:42.120 just brown stains everywhere. But that was normal to us. 0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:44.759 I go back, I go to some gyms now with 0:34:44.920 --> 0:34:47.880 kids training, I'm like this, how can you be motivated 0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:49.760 in here with air conditioning? You know what I'm saying? 0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:52.640 For real, boat, you don't you sweat? You can't sweat 0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.200 in them spots, so it's too plush, you know what 0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.200 I'm saying. Like my son knows how to bout. He 0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.000 got hands, but I would never let him compete because 0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:03.520 it's a certain thing that you you don't get having 0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:06.719 a privileged life, you know what I'm saying, And you 0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:09.000 don't need to Like his best asset is his brain, 0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.200 his mind, So I don't want him damaging that. And 0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:14.360 you will damage your brain, you will damage it. What 0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:16.920 was it? Was it the rap ship that got you 0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:19.799 out of boxing? Like for you to start pursuing your rap, 0:35:20.000 --> 0:35:23.759 because it was that was part of it. But it 0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:27.600 was like hustling, like making money, because look boxing, you 0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:30.920 boxing to make money, it takes a while before you 0:35:30.920 --> 0:35:32.920 start making It takes a while. And I was in 0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.120 Mike Tyson's camp, you know what I'm saying. It was 0:35:35.160 --> 0:35:37.240 like something light at the tunnel and then the tunnel, 0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:39.520 but the ship was hard, bro, you know what I'm saying, 0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:42.719 because it's a very disciplined lifestyle. You don't do all 0:35:42.719 --> 0:35:44.759 this shit your friends do. I'm so glad that I 0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.600 had it though, because even though I went off course 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:50.839 and was in the streets for a while, I never 0:35:50.880 --> 0:35:53.239 went but so far, and I had discipline, you know 0:35:53.280 --> 0:35:56.000 what I'm saying, Because it's people like you know, some 0:35:56.120 --> 0:35:57.719 names ain't gonna say on here. I'm sure you know 0:35:57.719 --> 0:36:00.719 of people out there who did the most and it's 0:36:00.760 --> 0:36:03.440 a rap now, you know what I'm saying. So I 0:36:03.520 --> 0:36:07.520 never like at the centising for my ship, the judge said, 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:09.600 we see that you're not a criminal. Get out of 0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:11.439 my court room, you know what I'm saying. So it's 0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:15.280 like the core of me is not a street criminal whatever. 0:36:15.320 --> 0:36:17.040 You know what I'm saying. I think you're an entrepreneur. 0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:19.759 I'm an entrepreneur and at the time, I mean that 0:36:19.920 --> 0:36:21.279 was a look. At the end of the day, man, 0:36:21.360 --> 0:36:25.920 hustlers are hustlers. Bro Sometimes an opportunity presents itself for 0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:27.680 you to be a hustler in a legal way, right 0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.920 and in the illegal way. It's interesting, man, I had 0:36:30.920 --> 0:36:35.040 a conversation with this dude, and in the fitness industry, 0:36:35.080 --> 0:36:38.280 it's a lot of suckers, man like virtual signaling and shit. Listen, 0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:41.080 but I swear it is rough. Some of these guys 0:36:41.120 --> 0:36:45.360 on YouTube or just Instagram like their cornballs for sure. 0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.160 And we were talking about some shit. Was a big discussion, 0:36:48.760 --> 0:36:50.920 and the guy was trying to, like without saying me, 0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:53.600 like shit on me by saying like, well, you know, 0:36:53.640 --> 0:36:57.040 I've never never been arrested, never did a crime, never 0:36:57.080 --> 0:36:59.560 been in a fight for all that matter. And I 0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:01.800 was like, that's because you're a pussy. You know what 0:37:01.800 --> 0:37:05.120 I'm saying. You never did a crime because you're afraid 0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:07.719 that you'll get caught and you're afraid of the consequences. 0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.759 You know what I'm saying, Because I think listen, I'm 0:37:10.800 --> 0:37:13.960 not saying committing a crime is ethical. It's not right, 0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:17.600 breaking the law is not okay, right, but some laws, 0:37:17.880 --> 0:37:20.640 what if you have your own consciousness, like why is 0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:23.239 this illegal? You know what I'm saying, And then I'm 0:37:23.239 --> 0:37:26.480 going to take a risk, right, I'll weigh out the 0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:30.520 risk versus the reward and if i'm I'm good with both, 0:37:30.560 --> 0:37:33.759 I'm gonna go right. That shit plays well into my 0:37:33.800 --> 0:37:35.600 life now, you know what I'm saying. I take all 0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.320 the risks because it ain't nothing bad gonna happen. But 0:37:38.360 --> 0:37:40.480 I lose some money, you know what I'm saying. Before 0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:42.839 it was like lose money, go to jail, somebody fuck 0:37:42.880 --> 0:37:44.719 your girl, niggas take your cards, like you know what 0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:48.440 I'm saying. So that's not even a possibility anymore. So 0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:50.520 I'm the ultimate risk taker, you know what I'm saying, 0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.600 and I'm not a And it just diminished my fear 0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:56.160 of a lot of things. You know, fear. Let me 0:37:56.200 --> 0:37:59.040 say this, fear is a sign of intelligence, Let's not 0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:02.080 get it twisted. But you know, fear will also keep 0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:04.400 you from living, you know what I'm saying, and experience 0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.759 of life at its highest. So it's just it's to 0:38:07.760 --> 0:38:09.800 this day, it's a it's a risk that I still 0:38:09.840 --> 0:38:11.880 take you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think like 0:38:13.160 --> 0:38:18.200 when you're conditioned in society to live life a certain way, 0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:23.280 and that way usually is getting a good job, getting 0:38:23.280 --> 0:38:27.600 your benefits, just making sure your bare necessities are covered, 0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:29.960 go on vacation once a year if you can afford it, 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.319 get a nice like decent nice, get your charger with 0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:38.359 your payment whatever. It is like the thought of like 0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.960 if you are making forty five thousand dollars a year, 0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:44.759 sixty thousand dollars a year, but maybe you have some 0:38:44.800 --> 0:38:48.120 sort of passion or some sort of I don't know, 0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:50.760 want for more, but you're scared that like you're gonna 0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:52.680 walk away from the sure thing. And that short thing 0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:55.040 is shit, bro, I'm telling you because nothing You're right, bro, 0:38:55.960 --> 0:38:57.719 Like the short thing is what got a lot of 0:38:57.719 --> 0:39:01.279 people fucked up. Bro. I look at life like this, man. Like, 0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:06.720 for me, the most valuable currency is this. It's human. 0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:10.640 It is deep, meaningful connections with people that I think 0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:14.880 are dope. Right. I live my life predicated on the 0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:16.759 fact that I'm going to die. Let's not get a 0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:18.400 twisted I'm going to die. We're all going to die 0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:21.920 one day, right, So for me, bro, it's like I 0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.600 want people to have a dope last memory of me. 0:39:25.760 --> 0:39:27.000 You know what I'm saying, Like, Yo, he was a 0:39:27.120 --> 0:39:30.680 nice guy, or that motherfucker was dope, whatever, whatever it is. 0:39:30.680 --> 0:39:32.759 I want people to have a pleasant memory of me, 0:39:32.800 --> 0:39:36.040 because look, that's all we have, really is. You know, 0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:38.920 they're gonna miss you. They have some memories and that 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:40.880 shit start fading, then it's just nothing, you know what 0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:43.960 I'm saying. So I leave a couple of things. I 0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:46.880 want to leave as many positive memories as possible. But 0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:50.399 then for my children, I leave like my mind in them. 0:39:50.520 --> 0:39:53.279 You know what I'm saying. I instill the tenets and 0:39:53.320 --> 0:39:55.759 principles that I live by. And then but I do 0:39:55.800 --> 0:39:58.160 it better than what I did. You know what I'm saying. 0:39:58.200 --> 0:40:03.080 I give them a better a map for navigating life 0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:05.440 so that they can do the same. And that's how 0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:08.160 we keep the bloodline going. It's not even real blood. 0:40:08.160 --> 0:40:11.759 It's like just a mentality of consciousness that's passed down 0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:16.359 through the generations. And you know, I've done my genealogy, 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:21.440 and you know I got you know, they track people's 0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:24.960 genomes by documents, right, that's all we have to go 0:40:25.000 --> 0:40:27.960 off of. So I've been back far but that's it. 0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:31.200 So I don't know nothing about their personalities, what they 0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:35.520 was into, what people thought. Now we got this, we're mortal, 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:36.799 you know what I'm saying. What I was gonna say 0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:40.839 with like you anyone who's like seriously into the content game, 0:40:40.960 --> 0:40:43.000 like you could pass away, but your content is going 0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:45.760 to live on forever, forever. That's a beautiful thing. It's digital. 0:40:46.480 --> 0:40:49.880 So I'm very cognizant of that. So that's what I 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:52.920 love doing content. Listen, a lot of my content, the 0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:54.960 shit that I love doing the most, don't get the 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:59.040 biggest push, right, But that's okay because it's like a 0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:02.600 series called mental and it'd be like just me giving 0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:07.600 certain perspectives on life, on whatever advice, and it'd be 0:41:07.600 --> 0:41:09.120 people that hit me up there, like damn, bro, I 0:41:09.160 --> 0:41:12.080 used to always skip these videos, but I was going 0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:14.840 through some shit and this one came on today and 0:41:14.880 --> 0:41:16.200 that should just hit me a certain way. I just 0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:18.200 want to say thank you. I do it for that shit, 0:41:18.320 --> 0:41:19.759 you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I mean, like at 0:41:19.760 --> 0:41:23.759 the end of the day, like it's those small like 0:41:24.400 --> 0:41:27.080 we know, it gets views and sometimes you'll do something 0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:28.960 that you didn't expect to go viral. But for the 0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.240 most part, like you kind of can do something and know, Okay, 0:41:32.280 --> 0:41:34.919 this is gonna do what it's gonna do. But it's 0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:38.839 like the shit that like isn't the sexiest that really 0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:44.799 penetrates people the most. Pause, And that's like stuff people 0:41:44.880 --> 0:41:46.239 can live with that. It's not going to be the 0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:48.719 big headline. It's not going to be the you know, 0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:52.480 the positive Like I think, like even in the interview game, 0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:55.480 like I'll do interviews that have like five thousand views, 0:41:56.040 --> 0:41:59.879 but like I'll get the most feedback. Yeah, it's see 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:03.759 is depth versus the width? Right, So, and even how 0:42:03.800 --> 0:42:06.160 YouTube work. I've been doing YouTube since twenty twelve, right, 0:42:06.400 --> 0:42:08.799 and I've had my reps and I picked their brain. 0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:10.640 I'm trying to figure out how to shit work, how 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.880 we get paid for real and from what they don't have. 0:42:14.120 --> 0:42:16.719 They don't ever say exactly how because they want to 0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:19.839 prevent fraud, of course. So but I got an idea. 0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:22.239 And it's not the amount of views, it's a length 0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:25.560 of time people are watching your shit. I'll drop a 0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:28.839 two hour interview and I'll clip, I'll drop it. I'll 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.640 drop that interview and then I drop clips. Right, But 0:42:31.920 --> 0:42:35.280 the big interview is where people will sit for thirty minutes. 0:42:35.600 --> 0:42:37.400 You make the most off of that, right, Bro? So 0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:40.000 think about think about that. Bro, you have a thirty minute, 0:42:40.360 --> 0:42:42.719 two hour TV show, but people watching like thirty minutes 0:42:42.760 --> 0:42:44.800 of that shit. It's a lot of time. It's not scripted, 0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:47.640 it's real, it's raw. That's value, you know what I mean. 0:42:47.719 --> 0:42:51.960 So and then even like if I market a product 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:55.399 or something and I have this beautifully edited video, people 0:42:55.440 --> 0:42:57.359 won't give a shit. But if I'm just saying some 0:42:57.360 --> 0:42:59.439 shit on my cameras organic, that's what they care about. 0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:01.719 Always say that when people do ads or they do 0:43:01.760 --> 0:43:06.200 anything like influencer related, I'm like, yo, don't overproduce it, man, 0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:09.359 just fucking it's got to feel organic or people are 0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:11.759 gonna be like, fuck this, it's got to be holistic. Yeah, 0:43:11.800 --> 0:43:13.320 you know what I'm saying. And what I mean by 0:43:13.400 --> 0:43:16.520 that is like for me, everything is like I try 0:43:16.560 --> 0:43:20.239 to like come from a spiritual place. So like a 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.640 lot of guys come to me for advice with business 0:43:22.719 --> 0:43:24.200 and this and a third and I'm like, what are 0:43:24.200 --> 0:43:27.360 you trying to do? And they're always concerned about the outcome, 0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.440 and that's money, how much they can make how much 0:43:29.480 --> 0:43:31.319 you make from this. I'm like, bro, I gotta be 0:43:31.360 --> 0:43:34.680 honest with you. I've never went into any of these 0:43:34.800 --> 0:43:37.440 businesses with the idea of how much money I'm gonna make. 0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:39.879 I went into it with the idea of, like, yo, 0:43:40.200 --> 0:43:42.800 I'm going to make the best X y Z and 0:43:42.880 --> 0:43:44.480 people are going to be happy, you know what I'm saying. 0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:47.120 And I'm gonna be able to price it affordable or whatever, 0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:50.400 or my service. I'm gonna be the best at whatever 0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:52.680 I'm trying to do for people, and let the rest 0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:56.799 figure itself out. Everything works out. You're controlling what you 0:43:56.840 --> 0:44:00.400 can control, right, and that's all you should worry about. 0:44:00.440 --> 0:44:05.040 And as a result of that, the bag comes always. 0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:08.040 I don't worry about shit, it always comes, you know 0:44:08.040 --> 0:44:10.520 what I'm saying. That's some real shit, I think. Like 0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.400 that's one thing people get caught up in. And also 0:44:13.640 --> 0:44:16.360 intent of what you're doing. Like if you're doing something 0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:20.440 to get money quick and you're trying to like have longevity, 0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:22.000 usually that's not really how it works. You got to 0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:23.799 have some sort of passion or some sort of like 0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:28.760 care for what the passion like you're into, you're into fitness, 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:30.359 this is what you do this is not like you're 0:44:30.400 --> 0:44:33.640 not like some some like rich dude who decided, oh 0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:35.920 there's good money and supplements. Let me start my own 0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:39.719 supplement line right right, I'm an influencer, Let me start 0:44:39.719 --> 0:44:43.959 my own protein power just because how I started lying, 0:44:44.000 --> 0:44:46.960 I'm like, whyuck? Like what if you got to ask 0:44:47.000 --> 0:44:48.759 me that shit? You ain't cut out for this shit. 0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:52.400 Like there's people, there's producers, and there's consumers in this world. 0:44:52.440 --> 0:44:55.560 You know what I'm saying. Producers figure out like you 0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:58.799 want something Like when I started the supplement game. I 0:44:58.840 --> 0:45:01.239 never took supplements on my life until I started getting 0:45:01.280 --> 0:45:03.439 like worn down and training so many people. I ain't 0:45:03.440 --> 0:45:06.120 got no energy, try like a fat burner pre work out. 0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:07.799 Whatever that she gave me energy, but it gave me 0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:11.840 like weird side effects, bro, all that shit biit alany, 0:45:12.040 --> 0:45:14.560 So I go and I started taking pictures of every 0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:19.560 something label after work long as days, I'm falling asleep 0:45:19.560 --> 0:45:22.520 every night with my computer on my laptop on my chest, researching, 0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:25.839 looking at these ingredients, trying to identify what is it 0:45:25.840 --> 0:45:28.319 that gives me the energy? What is it that gives 0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:31.919 me these side effects? I didn't like, can this work 0:45:31.960 --> 0:45:33.759 without that? You know what I'm saying. Then I start 0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:37.839 ordering shit from China, cheap shit, testing on myself. That's 0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:39.440 how I started the ship, right, so you would make 0:45:39.480 --> 0:45:42.560 your own stuff. I'm a producer, right like you're a producer, 0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:45.400 you know what I'm saying. So, but most of the 0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:48.600 world are consumers. It's a small amount of people providing 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:52.600 goods and services, and most people need they need somebody 0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:54.520 to provide it so they can buy it. And that's fine. 0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:56.400 That's how the world is. I was just planning that 0:45:56.440 --> 0:45:59.640 to my son because he was like, he was telling 0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:01.840 about like kids at school, like they're kind of simple. 0:46:02.200 --> 0:46:04.080 I'm like, look, son, don't look at it like that. 0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:07.080 This is the normal order of things, the natural order 0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:11.000 of things. Most people are that are that, and that's fine. 0:46:11.080 --> 0:46:13.000 It's no knock to them. That's just how it is. 0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:17.000 It's very people gotta understand this. The essence of life, 0:46:17.160 --> 0:46:21.240 of all biological life on this planet is to be lazy, 0:46:21.560 --> 0:46:24.400 is efficiency to not do much. You know what I'm saying. 0:46:24.760 --> 0:46:27.360 I'm gonna sit still till I'm hungry. I'm hungry and 0:46:27.400 --> 0:46:28.879 I'm gonna get some food. You know what I'm saying. 0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:32.120 A lion, we look at them as so bad ass, right, 0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:35.560 the motherfuckers just chill, let their women go hunt. You 0:46:35.600 --> 0:46:37.879 got it all right, move, get out the fucking way. 0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:40.479 I'm gonna eating first, you know what I'm saying. That's 0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:43.480 the nature that the natural order of things. People are 0:46:43.480 --> 0:46:47.600 not designed to be hustling. People design to chill, to relax, 0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:51.759 to rest, you know what i mean. So there's a 0:46:51.800 --> 0:46:53.879 few weirdos that like to do a lot of shit, 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.759 you know what I'm saying. And we as we're in 0:46:56.800 --> 0:46:59.000 the animal kingdom, but we're a little bit different because 0:46:59.000 --> 0:47:03.160 we got these fucking robust cerebral cortex which the other 0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:07.440 animals don't, so we have imagination, empathy, we can remember things. 0:47:07.480 --> 0:47:09.040 We got the language, so we got all these different 0:47:10.040 --> 0:47:12.719 ways of like recording information and passing it down, and 0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:15.400 we learn more, pass it down, learn more, so we 0:47:15.520 --> 0:47:17.719 know that we can and we know we could do 0:47:17.760 --> 0:47:20.120 certain things that are that may seem difficult to do, 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.160 but it gives us pleasure. You know what I'm saying. 0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:24.920 You're a climb like squad Peak or came back back 0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:27.759 in the day. Yeah, yeah, that shit hard, but when 0:47:27.800 --> 0:47:30.400 you get to the top, you feel good. It's especially 0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:33.440 in Arizona, depending on how hot it is. Yeah, it's 0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:36.440 a certain sense of accomplishment. Most people will never even 0:47:36.480 --> 0:47:38.600 try that ship. I had a terrible idea. Me and 0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:43.080 my boy Ramses Me Ramses is the theo Geo and 0:47:43.120 --> 0:47:46.680 DeAngelo were supposed to do a photo shoot for this 0:47:46.760 --> 0:47:48.880 is in the newspaper in Arizona called the write up 0:47:48.880 --> 0:47:51.960 back in the day. I remember that, and you know 0:47:52.000 --> 0:47:56.560 matt Locks, of course, so Matt Locks, I don't know 0:47:56.560 --> 0:47:58.520 if it was his idea, Rams is this idea to 0:47:58.560 --> 0:48:01.040 climb the top of came back and take pictures on 0:48:01.040 --> 0:48:03.279 top of the mountain in our fucking outfits for a 0:48:03.280 --> 0:48:06.160 fucking photo shoot. It was one of the worst days 0:48:06.160 --> 0:48:09.480 of my life, but it's probably some epic pictures though, 0:48:09.640 --> 0:48:13.319 cool pictures. We got them forever for sure. No, you're right, though, 0:48:13.320 --> 0:48:16.839 you're right. Like I do think like most people are 0:48:16.920 --> 0:48:21.200 trained and they're automn I mean, everyone's kind of raised 0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:24.840 in whatever comfort zone that they whether it's your parents, 0:48:24.920 --> 0:48:29.399 whether it's your environment, And I just think like I've 0:48:29.440 --> 0:48:32.279 always just kind of had like a attitude of like 0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:36.120 trying to be uncomfortable, because when I'm uncomfortable, I feel 0:48:36.160 --> 0:48:38.520 like I get the most out of just whatever I'm 0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:41.840 trying to do.

What is a 0:50:08.840 --> 0:50:11.120 beta male? For people who hear those two words and 0:50:11.560 --> 0:50:14.200 necessarily aren't educated as to what that is. Man, Yeah, 0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:19.120 so alpha beta, these are Greek letters ab and in 0:50:19.160 --> 0:50:23.040 our society or in our culture, the alpha like alpha 0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:27.239 and the animal kingdom or in humans. It's just a 0:50:27.360 --> 0:50:31.880 more dominant male, a more a leader, you know what 0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:34.000 I'm saying. That's all it is. And the betas are 0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:36.680 more of the followers, you know. And I don't want 0:50:36.680 --> 0:50:40.640 to get anything confused with anybody out there as saying 0:50:40.840 --> 0:50:43.160 alpha is better than a beta, because I'm not I 0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:47.399 don't think that. You know. Actually, I've been talking about 0:50:47.400 --> 0:50:51.520 this a lot lately, that like alpha males are becoming 0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:53.839 less and less useful in society. You know what I mean. 0:50:54.440 --> 0:50:58.520 Alpha male is useful for himself and maybe the people 0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:02.160 closest to him. But what's better for society is beta males. 0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:04.920 And if you look at society, our society is ran 0:51:04.960 --> 0:51:07.239 by beta males, regardless of what people think. You know, 0:51:08.320 --> 0:51:10.440 this country is a democracy, you know what I'm saying, 0:51:10.800 --> 0:51:13.800 with a system of checks and balances, so it's no kings, 0:51:14.440 --> 0:51:17.800 even the president. People. When people really understand the nature 0:51:17.840 --> 0:51:20.719 of the government, the federal government, the framework of it, 0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:24.719 and all of the state governments and city governments, the 0:51:24.960 --> 0:51:28.280 federal government is is maybe a little bit more powerful 0:51:28.360 --> 0:51:32.200 than the Royal Parliament shit in London, like the kings 0:51:32.200 --> 0:51:34.000 and queens, you know what I'm saying, Like they're just 0:51:34.040 --> 0:51:38.280 there for pageantry. Listen, Donald Trump, when he was in office, 0:51:38.320 --> 0:51:40.200 he complained all the time about not being able to 0:51:40.239 --> 0:51:42.719 get shit done because it don't matter. You don't you 0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:45.080 don't run shit. The presidents don't run shit. Well, yeah, 0:51:45.239 --> 0:51:48.719 it's how it's set up. Is like the checks and 0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:51.160 balance is kind of at times. You know, it's crazy 0:51:51.160 --> 0:51:53.920 because I never thought about this, but like I was 0:51:53.960 --> 0:51:56.719 just talking to somebody about this last week, about like 0:51:57.680 --> 0:52:00.000 every four years or eight years, and shit will start 0:52:00.080 --> 0:52:03.320 to get done, and then whoever gets whoever gets elected, 0:52:04.000 --> 0:52:06.440 will try to undo whatever the last guy did, which 0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:08.799 is actually a good thing. It's just well, I guess 0:52:08.840 --> 0:52:12.520 it depends, right, because let's say you're on the cusp 0:52:12.560 --> 0:52:15.000 of getting something historically dope done. I don't know what 0:52:15.080 --> 0:52:17.919 it might be, whatever it's whatever, right, something that's gonna 0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:19.680 help a lot of people, free health care, whatever it is. 0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:22.759 Then another guy gets elected and then they undo all. 0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:25.279 It just feels like a cycle of like because it 0:52:25.320 --> 0:52:28.160 is very cyclical as to which party is in, right, 0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:30.719 It's like it'll be eight years of a Democrat, and 0:52:30.760 --> 0:52:33.520 then it'll be eight years of George W. Bush. Then 0:52:33.560 --> 0:52:35.520 it's eight years of Obama, then Trump, you know what 0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:40.000 I mean. So it just feels like a bureaucracy cycle 0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:43.080 of like it is, and as much as as ugly 0:52:43.120 --> 0:52:45.560 as it is, and as much as people are so 0:52:45.800 --> 0:52:49.279 hot and vitual about who's in and who's not, this 0:52:49.360 --> 0:52:52.000 is the best case scenario for everybody, for society in 0:52:52.040 --> 0:52:55.799 the world for civilization. Yeah, because we don't. They talk 0:52:55.840 --> 0:53:00.360 about corruption, voter fraud. Yes, every election is fraud, but 0:53:00.400 --> 0:53:03.160 that's to be expected. If I was trying to run 0:53:03.200 --> 0:53:04.960 for president, I'm gonna be trying to cheat to like 0:53:05.040 --> 0:53:07.799 I want. Yeah, well I think all that. Like, like 0:53:07.800 --> 0:53:10.840 you said, every election there's voter fraud, but every election 0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:14.759 ever is not. It's not total corruption. Total corruption is 0:53:14.840 --> 0:53:17.640 Venezuela is when a motherfucker went by ninety percent. You 0:53:17.680 --> 0:53:20.600 know what I'm saying. You will never find even fifty 0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:25.520 five forty five in America. It's always a percentile or 0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:28.840 two off. That's perfect. People should be appreciative of that, 0:53:28.880 --> 0:53:32.440 you know what I'm saying. So, yeah, everybody hates for 0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:35.160 half the country to hate the president and love the 0:53:35.200 --> 0:53:37.960 president each time, whichever way is the best case scenario. 0:53:38.080 --> 0:53:40.560 That's fair, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think 0:53:41.239 --> 0:53:43.920 we think of a country that's like a first world country, Russia. 0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:46.799 Russia is like a big country that's not like some 0:53:46.880 --> 0:53:49.960 fucking third world place. It's very They have McDonald's, they 0:53:49.960 --> 0:53:52.440 have Starbuckle, not anymore. Apparently they're gutting all the McDonald's 0:53:52.440 --> 0:53:55.080 out there. But if you think about a place like Russia. 0:53:55.160 --> 0:53:59.279 Russia is a first world country, but yeah, it's a 0:53:59.440 --> 0:54:04.640 very Joe Biden's not fucking getting people killed or running 0:54:04.640 --> 0:54:06.919 against them, and Jnald Trump was people killed or running 0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:09.600 against him. Nobody's afraid of Joe Biden. You know what 0:54:09.600 --> 0:54:12.560 I'm saying. I mean, that's fair, nobody. Nobody's afraid of 0:54:12.640 --> 0:54:14.480 Joe Biden. Sleepy Joe. You know what I'm saying. I 0:54:14.560 --> 0:54:17.600 just mean in terms of like opponents aren't getting each other. 0:54:17.680 --> 0:54:20.000 Mrked Right, you know what I'm saying exactly. It's so 0:54:20.960 --> 0:54:23.839 we such fucking babies here. We complain about so much. 0:54:24.000 --> 0:54:25.200 We don't know how good we have. We don't know 0:54:25.239 --> 0:54:27.040 how good we have it. And people won't know because 0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:29.120 I didn't know, bro, until I started traveling the world. 0:54:29.760 --> 0:54:31.759 And I'll be in dope ass places, but I'm like, 0:54:32.200 --> 0:54:34.879 fuck that shit. I won't go back home. I went 0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:37.840 to so many and then the closest place I almost 0:54:37.880 --> 0:54:40.239 got a crib in Sydney, Australia at one point, right, 0:54:40.320 --> 0:54:42.839 because it's so I bet you were slaying out there. 0:54:43.440 --> 0:54:45.560 It was nice out there, Bro, The weather was dope. 0:54:45.600 --> 0:54:48.040 A bunch of iggy azelias running around yeah, all of 0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:52.280 that Australian Yeah, okay, but the people are so fucking 0:54:52.360 --> 0:54:56.279 nice and when you're traveling different countries, when you go 0:54:56.320 --> 0:54:58.640 to English speaking countries, it's just a better vibe, you 0:54:58.640 --> 0:55:01.400 know what I'm saying. Right, So it's all like this 0:55:01.480 --> 0:55:04.080 is kind of dope. But then like when COVID happens, 0:55:04.080 --> 0:55:08.240 see character comes out in hard times, right, so COVID 0:55:08.280 --> 0:55:11.480 came out right looking at Europe, looking at Australia, these 0:55:11.480 --> 0:55:15.359 motherfuckers are martial law, especially in Australia. Australia was really bad, 0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:17.640 all bad. It's all like, fuck that were free here. 0:55:18.040 --> 0:55:20.560 I don't care about people complaining, neighbor snitching on themselves 0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:23.000 out there was crazy. Yeah, bro, we and they don't 0:55:23.040 --> 0:55:26.400 got guns. Like look, I just I just realized this 0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:29.600 during the past two years. We're the only country who 0:55:29.640 --> 0:55:34.120 have a constitutional right for our citizens to carry weapons. Yeah, 0:55:34.239 --> 0:55:37.040 that widespread. Everybody got them. People don't realize that. They 0:55:37.040 --> 0:55:38.799 don't know that ship they're taking that away from the 0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:41.600 Canadians right now. I didn't even know they had guns 0:55:42.200 --> 0:55:47.120 they were. Trudeau just banned handguns or is proposing it. 0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:50.960 And I think that setting up some sort of like 0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:53.120 turning date where you have to turn in your handguns 0:55:53.239 --> 0:55:54.920 or something. I don't know if it passed. I'm not 0:55:54.920 --> 0:55:57.239 like super I just I just know that like it was, 0:55:57.320 --> 0:56:01.279 it's being proposed. Get it for me. Yeah, And that's 0:56:01.320 --> 0:56:03.360 the thing with like the gun violence thing is like 0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:06.839 I think I do think that an eighteen year old 0:56:06.840 --> 0:56:08.160 shouldn't be able to go to the store and by 0:56:08.200 --> 0:56:12.520 two ars without fucking any sort of conversation or hey, 0:56:12.520 --> 0:56:15.319 what are you what's going on? Why do you need 0:56:15.360 --> 0:56:17.040 these guns? Like there should be some sort of background 0:56:17.120 --> 0:56:20.120 check for certain things. But I also think we have 0:56:20.200 --> 0:56:24.160 to understand that we're in America. This is the only 0:56:24.200 --> 0:56:27.319 place in the world like this place, and unfortunately for 0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:30.600 the good for the bad, this is our culture, and 0:56:30.640 --> 0:56:34.759 our culture is we have guns. I and there's more 0:56:34.800 --> 0:56:38.680 guns here than people by a whole lot. So the 0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:43.400 realistic expectation to ban and I do think, like again, 0:56:43.560 --> 0:56:47.200 I think there should be like comprehensive background checks for 0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:50.799 certain weapons. Like what like I think if if if 0:56:51.000 --> 0:56:54.400 like that kid in you've all dated, like he turned 0:56:54.400 --> 0:56:56.520 eighteen and he went to the store and bought two 0:56:56.719 --> 0:57:02.600 ar fifteens, no checks, just guns. Yeah, I mean I 0:57:02.600 --> 0:57:06.040 don't know if I like that that extensive background check shit, 0:57:06.120 --> 0:57:09.560 because it's like when does it stop or even or 0:57:09.640 --> 0:57:14.600 even how about a course? How about saying like a drug, 0:57:14.719 --> 0:57:16.880 like you need a license to have an AR fifteen. 0:57:16.960 --> 0:57:18.560 If you want an assault weapon, you got to have 0:57:18.600 --> 0:57:21.800 a license. You gotta go through schooling like if I'm 0:57:21.880 --> 0:57:23.960 if I'm a sixteen year old. But that's not the 0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:26.000 that that won't be the root to the problem because 0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:28.720 it's not about how accurate you can shoot. It's about 0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:31.560 your temperament, your personality, you know what I'm saying, or 0:57:31.560 --> 0:57:33.480 if you have any mental illness and shit like that, 0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:35.280 because then the motherfucker that be going out doing dumb 0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:38.480 shit is not how proficient. Yeah, and maybe those dumb 0:57:38.520 --> 0:57:43.840 fucks we'll see damn getting that gun is I'm lazy. 0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:45.680 I like to fucking play call of Duty all day 0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:48.360 and jerk off of my parents a bedroom. I am 0:57:48.440 --> 0:57:51.080 not trying to go down to the fucking gun department 0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:55.000 and go through six hours of machine gun class. Yeah. 0:57:55.080 --> 0:57:57.280 I wouldn't either, but I think this bro like, but 0:57:57.360 --> 0:57:58.920 I would do it, like I would go through that 0:57:59.000 --> 0:58:02.120 for a gun like if responsible gun owner like me too. 0:58:02.280 --> 0:58:05.000 But I don't want to have to. I don't want 0:58:05.040 --> 0:58:07.960 the government telling me I have to do shit. I 0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:09.840 think it's just certain guns though. Like I think if 0:58:09.840 --> 0:58:11.760 you get a handgun, that's that's something that I think 0:58:11.800 --> 0:58:13.040 you should be able to get a handgun and that 0:58:13.040 --> 0:58:15.720 should kill a lot of people too. I feel you 0:58:15.720 --> 0:58:17.560 you get a clip with a drum, it's got as 0:58:17.640 --> 0:58:19.720 much rounds as any other rightfle you know what I'm saying, 0:58:19.880 --> 0:58:22.760 here's the thing bot when when would it stop it? 0:58:22.880 --> 0:58:26.200 We allow that it's a slippery store opens up the 0:58:26.320 --> 0:58:30.480 door for tyranny. I mean, listen, I don't disagree with that, 0:58:30.520 --> 0:58:34.280 but I just think that there has to be a course. Man. 0:58:34.560 --> 0:58:36.600 I'm not mad at a course. Especially. How about this, 0:58:36.760 --> 0:58:39.600 if you're like under the age of thirty or twenty five. 0:58:39.800 --> 0:58:41.680 Let's say you're like a twenty one year old kid, 0:58:41.720 --> 0:58:43.920 like you should we should know you know how to 0:58:43.960 --> 0:58:45.680 operate this thing before you get it, you know what 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:47.440 I mean. If that's the case, they should do the 0:58:47.480 --> 0:58:50.480 same with law enforcement. I agree, shouldn't be it shouldn't 0:58:50.480 --> 0:58:52.160 be a twenty one year old cop. No. I think 0:58:52.320 --> 0:58:56.360 I think you know, the defund the police conversation is 0:58:56.360 --> 0:59:00.120 one that is badly branded. I suppose to brand. So 0:59:00.200 --> 0:59:03.400 I have a friend that works in government and she 0:59:03.400 --> 0:59:08.160 she's a liaison between these these groups and the government, right, 0:59:08.240 --> 0:59:10.080 And I said, why is that and she said, no, 0:59:10.200 --> 0:59:12.240 this is not is not what you think. She said. 0:59:12.240 --> 0:59:14.680 They got to aim high with these over the top 0:59:15.240 --> 0:59:18.160 requests to find some middle ground to get something done. 0:59:19.520 --> 0:59:23.600 There's not really defense. They're not defunding the police, the 0:59:23.720 --> 0:59:27.720 reallocating resources resources, which which has to happen. But but 0:59:27.760 --> 0:59:30.800 that's doesn't have a ring to it. Yeah, not for sure, 0:59:30.880 --> 0:59:33.680 but it's listen, the conversation of what we're talking about 0:59:34.000 --> 0:59:35.880 is for the micro, not the macro. You know what 0:59:35.880 --> 0:59:38.480 I'm saying. So the people they want to hear over 0:59:38.520 --> 0:59:41.760 the top like and you need the public rally behind 0:59:41.800 --> 0:59:44.320 you all of that ship. Well, people's political stances or 0:59:44.400 --> 0:59:47.800 just opinions on most things are just headline based. There's 0:59:47.840 --> 0:59:50.520 absolutely no depth to their opinions. And this is the thing. 0:59:51.000 --> 0:59:53.880 They just yell whatever tribe that they're part of, ye 0:59:54.080 --> 0:59:57.560 that talking point at you, and there's no depth to 0:59:57.640 --> 1:00:00.160 how they feel. It's just this is how I'm what's 1:00:00.200 --> 1:00:03.320 the feel. I don't get involved. I say fuck red 1:00:03.360 --> 1:00:05.920 and blue. Fuck both sides. None of them give a 1:00:05.920 --> 1:00:08.080 fuck about us. And here's the thing, I'm of the 1:00:08.120 --> 1:00:11.600 opinion of, like groups of people not voting. Let him 1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:13.760 feel your let them feel your absence. You know what 1:00:13.800 --> 1:00:18.080 I'm saying. If Black people didn't vote in this election, Biden, 1:00:18.560 --> 1:00:21.120 if Black people didn't vote in this election, Joe Biden 1:00:21.120 --> 1:00:23.360 would not have even been to the nominee. That part. 1:00:23.480 --> 1:00:25.840 The only reason that he became the nominee was because 1:00:25.840 --> 1:00:28.880 of the South Carolina primary. Listen, they were counting him out. 1:00:29.120 --> 1:00:32.360 It was Bernie's nomination, and then he fucking ran it 1:00:32.440 --> 1:00:35.000 up in the South with the older black voters. Black 1:00:35.040 --> 1:00:39.600 people need to divorce themselves from the Democratic Party, really 1:00:39.680 --> 1:00:43.520 like people. It's so emotionally attached to this ship. It's crazy. 1:00:43.520 --> 1:00:46.160 I'm not even I'm not even saying, go be Republican, 1:00:46.280 --> 1:00:49.560 not just, but just like just stop being so blindly 1:00:49.600 --> 1:00:52.479 loyal to these motherfuckers. And they do they do the 1:00:52.520 --> 1:00:57.280 worst for Black people, horrible things throughout histories all that, 1:00:57.480 --> 1:01:01.120 oh yeah, especially like I mean the Clinton I mean 1:01:01.360 --> 1:01:04.000 even back before that, Like, these people are so bad 1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:06.600 for black people and they just what did Clinton do? 1:01:06.880 --> 1:01:09.120 I'm gonna go on Arsenio Hall Show. I'm a panda, 1:01:09.200 --> 1:01:11.480 you know what I'm saying, Just like Trump pander to 1:01:11.520 --> 1:01:14.400 the fucking white supremacists. He no white supremacist. He just 1:01:14.480 --> 1:01:17.640 he knows his base. The problem is is the base 1:01:17.800 --> 1:01:22.280 of every political party is the problem. So if the 1:01:22.360 --> 1:01:24.280 base of the and this is where I'm at. So 1:01:24.320 --> 1:01:27.400 like I voted for Joe Biden. I'm an independent, but 1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:29.160 I just voted for him just because I was like, 1:01:31.160 --> 1:01:34.160 the ship that's being normalized by Trump to me was scary. 1:01:34.560 --> 1:01:39.040 You know what I'm saying, Just to me, like his 1:01:39.320 --> 1:01:43.360 like absolute First of all, he has zero humility, but 1:01:43.440 --> 1:01:45.760 I just feel like some of the racial overtones and 1:01:46.320 --> 1:01:49.240 undertones he was he was kind of injecting into society 1:01:49.280 --> 1:01:52.320 were just very like I'm like, this is And I 1:01:52.600 --> 1:01:54.280 know some people will say, well, at least he was 1:01:54.320 --> 1:01:58.040 blatantly like telling you how he felt as opposed to 1:01:59.320 --> 1:02:00.760 I mean, I think with some of the things he 1:02:00.840 --> 1:02:02.760 was doing, for sure, but what about See here's the 1:02:02.760 --> 1:02:07.160 thing people will take And I'm not by a Trump fan, 1:02:07.400 --> 1:02:10.320 so I'm not a fan of nobody. But here's the thing. 1:02:11.040 --> 1:02:14.240 I'm an objective observer, right, And I remember at one 1:02:14.240 --> 1:02:16.480 point I was like, fuck Trump. Why am I saying 1:02:16.520 --> 1:02:19.160 that because everybody's saying that. Why they saying that because 1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:22.120 he racist? Will make some racist? Oh the you remember 1:02:22.320 --> 1:02:25.720 sit in Virginia, all these good pty. So let me 1:02:25.840 --> 1:02:27.320 let me find the video. Let me watch it, David. 1:02:28.080 --> 1:02:32.640 I watched the ship right. That speech was taking that 1:02:33.000 --> 1:02:34.560 clip was taking out of context. First of all, the 1:02:34.600 --> 1:02:37.760 whole speech probably had thirty thousand views, not many views. Right, 1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:40.720 it's interesting, But I watched the ship, bro, and it 1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:42.400 is not how he said that. Shit, you know what 1:02:42.400 --> 1:02:45.000 I'm saying. This is what he said. I'm paraphrasing, but 1:02:45.040 --> 1:02:49.680 he said, Look, there are good people protesting keeping that 1:02:49.720 --> 1:02:52.040 part of their history up, and they have the right to. 1:02:52.720 --> 1:02:56.360 There's good people who feel a certain way about that ship. 1:02:56.640 --> 1:02:58.440 It reminds him of the past, and this is that 1:02:58.560 --> 1:03:01.800 third peacefully pot to take it down. They have every 1:03:01.840 --> 1:03:04.160 right to. He was talking about them when he said, 1:03:04.200 --> 1:03:07.080 and he's right, like I might want to lead this 1:03:07.120 --> 1:03:09.240 part of history of I'm a protest. I want to 1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:11.440 take it down. I'm a protest. They both have the right. 1:03:11.720 --> 1:03:13.840 He was talking about that in particularly, he said nothing 1:03:13.920 --> 1:03:17.480 about like praising these people. Now here's the thing, and 1:03:17.480 --> 1:03:19.520 I always bring this to people that say, oh, he's 1:03:19.520 --> 1:03:23.320 a racist, I said, is he? Because heme on there's 1:03:23.400 --> 1:03:25.360 legislation he was on a method Man album to cal 1:03:25.400 --> 1:03:30.800 two thousands. There's legislation that nobody talks about this. H's 1:03:30.880 --> 1:03:35.760 the who's the like in the the optics of the 1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:40.360 United States, who are the most feared terrorist group or 1:03:40.520 --> 1:03:46.120 terrorist organization since the inception of our country. Well, the 1:03:46.160 --> 1:03:49.280 perception would be that it's people from the Middle East, 1:03:49.320 --> 1:03:50.880 But I think no, no no, no, I'm talking about like 1:03:50.960 --> 1:03:55.880 from American born white people. This is Kulos playing yea 1:03:56.400 --> 1:04:00.280 k Nobody has touched them. They've never been designated as 1:04:00.280 --> 1:04:03.960 a terrorist stranization. Trump designated them as a hate group 1:04:04.000 --> 1:04:07.560 and a terror organization. Nobody talks about that. That got 1:04:07.560 --> 1:04:09.680 no press, you know what I'm saying, And that that 1:04:09.680 --> 1:04:11.840 that had never been done before. Right, nobody touched it, 1:04:11.920 --> 1:04:16.440 you know what I'm saying. And you know Obama Biden. 1:04:16.520 --> 1:04:22.000 They backed Biden's mentors. He was in the clan. He 1:04:22.040 --> 1:04:25.520 got out later in his life. I forget name. That 1:04:25.640 --> 1:04:27.680 was wrong, Yeah, because you dying, your motherfucker. But you 1:04:27.720 --> 1:04:31.360 know what I'm saying. So it's like people gotta even 1:04:31.440 --> 1:04:35.680 like the George Floyd thing man like, like taking lives 1:04:35.720 --> 1:04:39.640 is fucked up, right, But why was that given to 1:04:39.720 --> 1:04:42.320 us when it was given to us? It wasn't given 1:04:42.360 --> 1:04:44.000 to us when it happened, you know what I'm saying. 1:04:44.880 --> 1:04:47.600 The public outcr this this ship was months after that 1:04:47.640 --> 1:04:49.680 shit happened, you know what I'm saying. So it's like 1:04:49.760 --> 1:04:53.200 they're tugging at y'all. Our emotions are our hearts, you 1:04:53.240 --> 1:04:55.720 know what I'm saying. With fear, with terror, with anger, 1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:58.000 you know what I'm saying, and people are just listen 1:04:58.080 --> 1:05:01.560 and marketing like, I'm a marketer in in essence, and 1:05:01.960 --> 1:05:04.960 we're able to predict people's behavior, human behavior. That's how 1:05:04.960 --> 1:05:09.120 we're able to fucking order inventory, do this, do that, right. 1:05:10.240 --> 1:05:12.760 Politics is no different than marketing, you know what I'm saying. 1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:16.479 And human behavior is very predictable, especially when it comes 1:05:16.520 --> 1:05:20.360 to emotional things. You know, they're able to guide people 1:05:20.360 --> 1:05:22.000 where they want to go by making the map or 1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:24.439 press the mad button. Yeah, I mean in the media 1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:27.560 has so much to do with that too, right. It's like, yo, Like, 1:05:27.640 --> 1:05:33.120 if you're think about how much COVID was just being 1:05:33.200 --> 1:05:37.560 fucking stuff down our throats and how much it was like, 1:05:38.680 --> 1:05:40.800 this is, this is there's only one way to feel 1:05:40.840 --> 1:05:42.680 about this, or you're a piece of shit murderer. Now 1:05:42.800 --> 1:05:47.120 is nothing en? Well, how about this? During that period 1:05:47.120 --> 1:05:49.680 of time you're talking about, after George Floyd was murdered 1:05:49.840 --> 1:05:53.680 and obviously everyone was rightfully outraged, the COVID chit went away. 1:05:54.680 --> 1:05:56.600 Nobody was talking about COVID anymore. It was like, no, 1:05:56.760 --> 1:05:59.160 this is, this is, this is where the eyes are 1:05:59.200 --> 1:06:01.200 right now, We're gonna with these, We're gonna pull the 1:06:01.200 --> 1:06:05.080 shit on TV because you know, this is where it's at. 1:06:05.680 --> 1:06:08.840 Here's a thing. Bro. COVID went away too. By the way, 1:06:08.880 --> 1:06:12.080 when Ukraine, yeah we got into you know, the war's 1:06:12.080 --> 1:06:14.600 still going on final even fuck with what they say 1:06:14.640 --> 1:06:19.120 about that shit like oh the Ukraine smashing Russia. Russia 1:06:19.200 --> 1:06:21.560 is the bad guys. Like all right, in my business, 1:06:21.640 --> 1:06:25.760 you know what I'm saying. Anyway, Look, life is fair. 1:06:27.920 --> 1:06:32.840 The universal laws that we all follow without knowing works out, 1:06:33.080 --> 1:06:34.920 you know what I'm saying. The only things that I 1:06:34.920 --> 1:06:37.080 see is unfair, and maybe I just don't understand is 1:06:37.120 --> 1:06:39.920 like when children are born into shitty situations, are born 1:06:40.280 --> 1:06:42.320 deformed and shit, like that's the only thing I see 1:06:42.400 --> 1:06:44.200 is not fair. But other than that, shit is fair, 1:06:44.240 --> 1:06:48.040 and everything bounces out, you know. All Right, So early 1:06:48.520 --> 1:06:51.480 mentioned like maybe the government would get people health care. 1:06:51.680 --> 1:06:53.440 So let's say there's people that like, man, we should 1:06:53.480 --> 1:06:56.040 have free health care. You could get free health care. 1:06:56.240 --> 1:06:59.760 You know what I'm saying. Every socialist thing that people 1:06:59.800 --> 1:07:02.080 want that we don't they don't think we can have. 1:07:02.240 --> 1:07:06.280 You could do every capitalist thing. Every government system is 1:07:06.320 --> 1:07:08.840 here in America in some capacity. You know what I'm saying. 1:07:09.680 --> 1:07:12.160 Everything however you want to live, you can live. You 1:07:12.200 --> 1:07:15.240 know what I'm saying. Listen, I personally lived as a 1:07:15.280 --> 1:07:18.680 ghost most of my life till twenty fourteen, not on 1:07:18.720 --> 1:07:21.840 the map. I was a special ops from the hood, 1:07:22.000 --> 1:07:24.040 you know what I'm saying, until I was ready to 1:07:24.520 --> 1:07:28.080 present myself, pay taxes and do all the regular shit. Right, 1:07:28.400 --> 1:07:31.680 So anybody can nustle into any crevice they want to 1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:33.800 and live a good life. You know what I'm saying. 1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:37.439 I do think that there are certain people get born 1:07:37.440 --> 1:07:42.040 into certain situations that I mean do make shit harder. Man, 1:07:42.160 --> 1:07:44.000 You know what I mean, Like if you if you're 1:07:44.000 --> 1:07:47.920 born into a I mean, but bro, you know, like 1:07:48.000 --> 1:07:51.200 I know, typically people who are born into hard times 1:07:51.560 --> 1:07:55.120 are fucking stronger, and they most of the time story 1:07:55.360 --> 1:07:59.600 is way, You're right, the minority of those that we 1:07:59.720 --> 1:08:02.840 hear about. But I think the more of the more 1:08:02.960 --> 1:08:06.640 probably common thing is that those people end up having 1:08:06.640 --> 1:08:10.479 shitty lives because they had no role models in their house, 1:08:10.560 --> 1:08:13.040 or maybe their mom was addicted to drugs, or maybe 1:08:13.040 --> 1:08:15.960 they were born and their mom was using drugs while 1:08:15.960 --> 1:08:18.120 they were you know, I just think that, like I do. 1:08:18.360 --> 1:08:22.920 I do think like they're Yes, if you're built like 1:08:22.960 --> 1:08:25.439 you and me or people that we know, and you 1:08:25.479 --> 1:08:27.880 have a certain mindset, you're gonna get through whatever. But 1:08:28.680 --> 1:08:32.320 there's just not everyone's built that way. That's it can't be. 1:08:32.439 --> 1:08:34.120 You know what I'm saying. No, No, you're right, it 1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:35.720 can't be. And and so what I was saying, like 1:08:35.720 --> 1:08:37.840 when we were talking about you brought up socialist shit. 1:08:37.920 --> 1:08:42.479 I do think like if you're a single mom and 1:08:43.880 --> 1:08:46.160 life has presented you with you had three or four 1:08:46.240 --> 1:08:50.040 kids and you don't have an education, I mean, yeah, 1:08:50.080 --> 1:08:52.960 those were your decisions. These are your kids. There's your responsibilities. 1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:57.719 At the same time, if you don't have a resume 1:08:57.840 --> 1:08:59.680 or you don't have a lot of qualifications to get 1:08:59.720 --> 1:09:04.599 you a real solid gig. I mean, some of these jobs, man, 1:09:05.439 --> 1:09:08.679 are like, the minimum wage in some of these places 1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:11.320 is crazy. Can you can you imagine the national minimum 1:09:11.360 --> 1:09:14.160 It sounds crazy to think that the national minimum wage 1:09:14.280 --> 1:09:18.520 is seven dollars and sixty cents selerities because it's disrespectful. 1:09:18.640 --> 1:09:20.360 It should be. You would think it'd be at least 1:09:20.400 --> 1:09:22.639 ten bucks. But we got to look at this too. 1:09:23.360 --> 1:09:28.120 Here in California's what a twelve thirteen? Twelve bucks? So 1:09:28.320 --> 1:09:31.439 more expensive places, it suggested. Listen, I think it's still 1:09:31.479 --> 1:09:34.479 all fair. I think everything's fair. Look, if you don't 1:09:34.479 --> 1:09:36.920 want a minimum wage job, qualify yourself for a job 1:09:36.960 --> 1:09:38.880 that pays more. Is that something? You're right? You're right, 1:09:39.000 --> 1:09:42.920 So I don't really I don't increase your market your 1:09:42.960 --> 1:09:46.080 market viability exactly. I feel you one hundred percent. But 1:09:46.160 --> 1:09:50.000 also have a different perspective on fair right, right, life 1:09:50.040 --> 1:09:52.040 ain't fair. I don't expect it to be. You know 1:09:52.040 --> 1:09:55.960 what I'm saying. I think everything's universally fair, right. I 1:09:56.000 --> 1:09:58.439 think that we are governed by sharing laws. That just 1:09:59.560 --> 1:10:03.600 is entropy, is cause and effect, it's a decision, is 1:10:03.600 --> 1:10:05.840 your destiny, all of that shit, you know what I'm saying. 1:10:05.880 --> 1:10:08.200 So that makes it fair, Like, yeah, that's what happens. 1:10:08.520 --> 1:10:10.560 This can be measured. You know what I'm saying. I 1:10:10.760 --> 1:10:14.400 if I jog a lot, I increase my lung capacity 1:10:14.439 --> 1:10:17.599 and I can absorb breathe them better, right, last longer 1:10:17.680 --> 1:10:21.240 cardio shit. So it's in that sense it's fair. But 1:10:21.280 --> 1:10:25.600 when we start talking about morals and ethics, is not fair? Yeah, no, 1:10:25.680 --> 1:10:30.000 for sure. And like there is truth in the term, 1:10:30.080 --> 1:10:32.960 Like there's no excuses because if you are that mom 1:10:33.080 --> 1:10:35.960 who has two full time jobs and you're fucking just 1:10:36.000 --> 1:10:40.280 barely hanging on, Like figure out the sixty minutes of 1:10:40.280 --> 1:10:41.920 the day where you read a book and pick up 1:10:41.920 --> 1:10:44.559 a new skill. If you're on the bus or you're 1:10:44.840 --> 1:10:49.160 driving home, have YouTube plan teaching you a new skill. 1:10:49.360 --> 1:10:54.040 But here's the thing, we gotta people gotta recalibrate, Like 1:10:54.640 --> 1:10:58.240 what is success to them? You know what I'm saying, 1:10:58.680 --> 1:11:02.560 Because if you're making less money, decrease your your overhead, 1:11:02.640 --> 1:11:05.120 you know what I'm saying, and then find happiness and 1:11:05.200 --> 1:11:08.320 other things outside of what everybody else got. Be willing 1:11:08.360 --> 1:11:10.960 to eat shit for a little bit. I don't even listen. 1:11:11.360 --> 1:11:16.200 We human beings have such a powerful fucking attribute, a 1:11:16.280 --> 1:11:19.960 thing that changes. You meet anybody who can shift the 1:11:20.040 --> 1:11:24.759 universe with our perspective and our perception of things. Right, 1:11:25.240 --> 1:11:31.679 So if you're making what most will consider poverty type income, right, 1:11:32.760 --> 1:11:37.160 you adjust your perspective and find happiness and other things, right, 1:11:38.000 --> 1:11:41.000 You'll probably be happier than people with a lot of money, right, 1:11:41.120 --> 1:11:43.400 because look, I have a lot of money, I make 1:11:43.439 --> 1:11:45.519 a lot of I have a lot of shit going on. 1:11:45.880 --> 1:11:48.599 But happiness don't come with all of that shit. Sorry 1:11:48.920 --> 1:11:53.680 the TV right, Sorry, yeah, happiness don't come inherently with 1:11:53.800 --> 1:11:56.400 money and success. This is true. I tell people as 1:11:56.439 --> 1:11:58.800 how I deal with depression like the next person. So 1:12:00.080 --> 1:12:03.080 when I get recalibrate and find happiness, it's not in 1:12:03.120 --> 1:12:05.519 a woman, it's not in my homies, not even in 1:12:05.560 --> 1:12:08.759 my children. It's here and here, you know what I'm saying. 1:12:09.000 --> 1:12:10.439 It's the things that I got to work on in 1:12:10.479 --> 1:12:14.960 my own mind, me recalibrating perceptions and shit like that 1:12:15.439 --> 1:12:21.240 to readjust and find like beauty and different things. Because look, bro, 1:12:21.320 --> 1:12:24.120 I used to like have the four cars, two cars 1:12:24.120 --> 1:12:25.760 in this state, cars in this state, and this that 1:12:25.760 --> 1:12:28.840 and the third, and then one day I'm looking at 1:12:28.880 --> 1:12:31.599 this fucking nerd in in my industry. Well, I don't 1:12:31.640 --> 1:12:34.679 respect who's a goober all these cars and these funny 1:12:34.880 --> 1:12:37.320 outfits and shit, I'm like, I don't ever want to 1:12:37.360 --> 1:12:39.280 look like this motherfucker, Like I don't ever want to 1:12:39.280 --> 1:12:42.640 be confused with anybody to be somebody like him. And 1:12:42.680 --> 1:12:44.320 I was like, and I used to have to have 1:12:44.800 --> 1:12:46.280 X Y Z. I had to have this, I had 1:12:46.320 --> 1:12:48.120 to have that, right. I got rid of all of 1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:50.720 that shit, and I'm fine, one card at the time. 1:12:50.920 --> 1:12:52.599 It's all I can drive anyway, you know what I'm saying. 1:12:52.960 --> 1:12:55.840 And I'm cool with that shit, bro. So and look, 1:12:56.840 --> 1:13:00.000 last year, I was like, fuck, I'm just get back 1:13:00.160 --> 1:13:04.040 my car ship And I'm like, why am I doing this? 1:13:04.880 --> 1:13:06.720 Not for yourself? It wasn't for me at all, you 1:13:06.800 --> 1:13:08.599 know what I'm saying. So I got rid of that ship. 1:13:08.760 --> 1:13:12.120 So and went back to what made what I'm content with. 1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:14.040 I have a lot of friends that got a bunch 1:13:14.080 --> 1:13:18.519 of cars. That's fine. I don't knocket. I think it's dope. 1:13:18.560 --> 1:13:21.200 I like cars, but I don't want that I want 1:13:21.240 --> 1:13:23.640 because when you have a lot of things, there's a 1:13:23.720 --> 1:13:27.720 lot of effort in you keeping them, maintaining them, maintaining them, 1:13:27.720 --> 1:13:30.000 and keeping people from taking. It takes from your bandwidth, 1:13:30.520 --> 1:13:33.439 it does the littlest mental space, and it's just a 1:13:33.479 --> 1:13:36.040 thing that's going to deteriorate. Bro, Trust me, I am 1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:40.280 the I am the I dude, you're talking, you're preaching 1:13:40.280 --> 1:13:43.599 to their choir. I could afford a lot of cars. 1:13:44.200 --> 1:13:45.840 I don't give a fuck. I have a paid off car. 1:13:46.560 --> 1:13:50.200 It runs. I got a fucking suv. It's got two 1:13:50.240 --> 1:13:52.960 hundred thousand miles on it. Until that shit stops working. 1:13:53.200 --> 1:13:55.360 I've been so tempted to get like a fucking g 1:13:55.479 --> 1:13:58.759 wagon or something. The piece you have, not worrying about 1:13:58.840 --> 1:14:02.040 putting one hundred thousand dollars right, and like also, like 1:14:02.080 --> 1:14:06.759 I just bought a house, and you know that's something 1:14:06.760 --> 1:14:09.439 that I'm like, okay, I'll I'll put money up for 1:14:09.479 --> 1:14:11.120 that because I have two kids, I got my wife, 1:14:11.160 --> 1:14:12.880 you know what I mean. And I'm like, yeah, I'm 1:14:12.880 --> 1:14:15.160 gonna get a crib. But like, what is me buying 1:14:15.160 --> 1:14:18.240 a car? My car is fucking straight, it runs, it's 1:14:18.240 --> 1:14:20.240 got a c everything's fine. It's a great car fits 1:14:20.240 --> 1:14:23.000 my family, and my wife has her car. Everything's paid off. Like, 1:14:23.560 --> 1:14:25.879 but it's like, what am I If I buy a car? 1:14:26.360 --> 1:14:29.160 I would rather take that money and like literally put 1:14:29.200 --> 1:14:32.679 it into a new camera or just something else, something's 1:14:32.720 --> 1:14:35.840 gonna generate me income as opposed to like some sort 1:14:35.840 --> 1:14:38.639 of piece of social equity, just that I'm literally buying 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:41.400 because I'm personally content with the car I have, but 1:14:41.800 --> 1:14:44.120 I'm really getting this car. So when I people look 1:14:44.120 --> 1:14:48.559 at me differently. People, I'm not a car enthusiast. So 1:14:48.600 --> 1:14:51.719 if it's not like I'm some fucking you know, meathead 1:14:51.720 --> 1:14:53.800 who like loves engines and shit, I don't. I don't 1:14:53.960 --> 1:14:57.920 do it. I could, but I have that shit in control, 1:14:57.960 --> 1:15:00.840 and check that shit don't control me, right, and listen, 1:15:01.040 --> 1:15:03.320 I ain't gonna lie roll. So it's times that I 1:15:03.360 --> 1:15:05.839 am out of control when it comes to like whips 1:15:05.880 --> 1:15:09.240 and shit. So I'd be sitting there calculating, like damn, okay, 1:15:09.439 --> 1:15:13.559 I remember I had one car in mine on this budget. 1:15:14.280 --> 1:15:16.680 I get there, it's next to the newest version of 1:15:16.720 --> 1:15:21.479 that car, and I'm like eight hundred thousand dollar prices 1:15:21.600 --> 1:15:24.080 something crazy, right, And I'm just doing the math in 1:15:24.120 --> 1:15:25.679 my head. I'm like, how can I make that more? 1:15:25.840 --> 1:15:28.160 I'm saying, He's like the guys right here, I'm looking 1:15:28.200 --> 1:15:30.479 at the car set I want this car like a crackhead, like, yeah, 1:15:30.560 --> 1:15:32.400 let me get this car. I want this car. I'm 1:15:32.400 --> 1:15:34.040 gonna come back tomorrow with the back you know what 1:15:34.040 --> 1:15:36.240 I'm saying, Like, I'm like, what what the you know 1:15:36.280 --> 1:15:38.679 what snapped me out of that that day? Like later 1:15:38.760 --> 1:15:41.920 on that day, it was around it was October twenty 1:15:41.960 --> 1:15:45.320 twenty one, and we went to Horror Nights Alleen, Horror 1:15:45.360 --> 1:15:48.840 Nights Universal Yet and we took shrooms in MDMA. Oh wow, 1:15:48.880 --> 1:15:50.479 that sounds like a great fucking night. And it just 1:15:50.479 --> 1:15:53.080 brought me to my reality, like why would you do that? 1:15:53.080 --> 1:15:56.439 That's stupid. You don't need that, bro, I was stuck 1:15:56.520 --> 1:15:58.719 on I'm buying that car to my don't give a fuck. 1:15:58.960 --> 1:16:01.840 I made more money like when I was hustling. All right, 1:16:01.920 --> 1:16:03.880 I can get it back. I mean I think that 1:16:03.880 --> 1:16:08.040 that is also a natural human like instinct. It's a weakness. 1:16:08.120 --> 1:16:12.439 It's a I've been there, where I've been, you know, dude. 1:16:12.960 --> 1:16:15.880 On the smallest level, my wife was buying me a 1:16:15.880 --> 1:16:20.080 grill for a Father's Day this past weekend. Grill, no 1:16:20.240 --> 1:16:22.800 grill to cook on cause I got because I got, 1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:24.360 I got, I got a new crib. Right. So she's 1:16:24.360 --> 1:16:26.080 like y'all. I want to get you a grill. And 1:16:26.080 --> 1:16:27.800 then I realized that there's all these types of grills. 1:16:27.800 --> 1:16:29.439 There's like a woodpellet grill, and then there's a flat 1:16:29.439 --> 1:16:31.880 top grill. And I was like, I want both, so 1:16:31.920 --> 1:16:34.280 you buy me one. And I wasn't even interested in 1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:38.080 grills before, but I was like, oh shit, I need both. 1:16:38.200 --> 1:16:39.760 So I just buy one, and then you buy one 1:16:39.880 --> 1:16:41.559 as my gift. And now I got two grills at 1:16:41.600 --> 1:16:44.160 my fucking house. I don't know. I was fine without 1:16:44.200 --> 1:16:47.080 a single grill ship, but now I could cook. I 1:16:47.080 --> 1:16:49.160 could cook all kinds of ship. I started putting in 1:16:49.160 --> 1:16:52.080 perspective how much money I spent on ship. You know 1:16:52.080 --> 1:16:54.640 what I'm saying, on stuff? I spent more money. Like 1:16:54.720 --> 1:16:57.400 last year, I spent more money on things than most 1:16:57.400 --> 1:16:59.320 people would make it a year or two. You know 1:16:59.360 --> 1:17:02.320 what I'm saying. Just that money's poof gone, you know 1:17:02.360 --> 1:17:06.120 what I'm saying. So a grill, I'll do that extra girl, 1:17:06.160 --> 1:17:08.160 I'll do for them business. I ain't buying all these 1:17:08.160 --> 1:17:11.360 cars and ship. Yeah. And the other thing is is like, 1:17:11.479 --> 1:17:13.920 if you're gonna fuck off money, suck it off on memories. Man, 1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:16.400 go on a trip with the kids, you know, like, 1:17:16.960 --> 1:17:21.519 go go do some ship that you that's worth it, right, right, 1:17:21.560 --> 1:17:24.360 But but once again, it's your perspective and what's important 1:17:24.400 --> 1:17:28.559 to you. And listen, people are fucking stressed. I heard 1:17:28.640 --> 1:17:31.439 Kevin say Kevin Gates said on Your with You he 1:17:31.520 --> 1:17:35.720 said that, uh what did he say? That? He was 1:17:36.080 --> 1:17:40.439 comparing his life to people's highlight reels, And it's like, 1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:45.200 that's a social media ship people's lives. Your life not 1:17:45.240 --> 1:17:46.960 in a bad way. But I don't, Yeah, your life, 1:17:47.200 --> 1:17:48.880 I'm not you ain't me. I know you don't care 1:17:48.920 --> 1:17:51.920 about my life, you know, so I really don't care 1:17:51.920 --> 1:17:53.320 about what y'all do, you know what I mean. I 1:17:53.520 --> 1:17:55.720 got a good homie of mine who just broke up 1:17:55.720 --> 1:17:59.360 with this girl and I was like, y'all broke up 1:17:59.560 --> 1:18:01.200 and he was like, yeah, like it's done. And I 1:18:01.280 --> 1:18:03.400 was like they've been together for a long time, you know, 1:18:04.000 --> 1:18:07.400 maybe three or four years, and on social media they 1:18:07.439 --> 1:18:10.880 look like the happiest. I was like, bro, what he's like? Bro, 1:18:11.520 --> 1:18:13.120 the shit you don't see is the shit on social media. 1:18:13.120 --> 1:18:15.360 We've been miserable for a long time. And I'm like, damn, 1:18:15.520 --> 1:18:19.080 like you could have fucking fooled me. Man, everybody put 1:18:19.280 --> 1:18:22.080 the best look for social media. I keep it waning 1:18:22.120 --> 1:18:25.000 it like, social media is a business. It's a tool. 1:18:25.160 --> 1:18:27.280 It's a tool for me. It's not my real life. 1:18:27.320 --> 1:18:31.080 It isn't one tiny sliver. It's a pie. Is that 1:18:31.120 --> 1:18:34.200 shit is not like my happiness and my this is 1:18:34.240 --> 1:18:36.479 none of that ship I'm not Why do I need 1:18:36.520 --> 1:18:39.439 to report the people about my relationships and none of 1:18:39.439 --> 1:18:41.240 that ship? Right, someone's business. It is a means for 1:18:41.280 --> 1:18:43.720 me to make make income, and y'all are consuming it. 1:18:43.720 --> 1:18:45.280 I'm going to give you all cool shit that y'all like. 1:18:45.400 --> 1:18:48.080 That's it, you know what I'm saying.

Most aren't, that's true, most aren't. 1:19:11.280 --> 1:19:14.680 Those people are just volunteering their their misery for us. Well, 1:19:14.720 --> 1:19:19.080 they're they're they're giving, it's a it's a cycle. They're 1:19:19.120 --> 1:19:22.080 offering all of their information, their details, and their their 1:19:22.200 --> 1:19:28.920 their likes and dislikes for producers to identify who they 1:19:28.960 --> 1:19:32.120 can market market towards. You like, what pages do you like? 1:19:32.240 --> 1:19:34.200 What did you like? What were you looking at on 1:19:34.240 --> 1:19:36.160 the internet, because when you open up the next step 1:19:36.160 --> 1:19:39.520 there's going to be an ad for it. So many 1:19:38.720 --> 1:19:42.240 fucking I was literally looking up grill ads, like grill 1:19:42.479 --> 1:19:46.240 videos and now, dude, every time open my fucking phone, 1:19:46.840 --> 1:19:52.280 I'm like, Jesus, so your supplements kind of break down 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:55.639 to me because I like shrooms as well, obviously you've 1:19:55.680 --> 1:19:57.920 talked about. By the way, was that a good experience 1:19:58.040 --> 1:20:01.559 Halloween horn nights on MDMA and shrooms? Yeah, it was cool. 1:20:01.600 --> 1:20:05.559 But like for me, me being on psychedelics, I much 1:20:05.640 --> 1:20:09.160 rather be chilling, Yeah, because because that's a lot universal 1:20:09.200 --> 1:20:12.320 studios in l A.

Mafi was talking 1:22:32.520 --> 1:22:37.439 about doing MDMA and then not getting pussy, and then 1:22:37.479 --> 1:22:39.920 I was like, well, well do you jerk off? He's 1:22:39.960 --> 1:22:41.479 like yeah. I was like, is it a better jerk? 1:22:41.640 --> 1:22:43.120 It's like, it's not a better jerk, but it is 1:22:43.160 --> 1:22:47.240 a longer jerk. That's bizarre. I was like, all right, 1:22:47.600 --> 1:22:53.800 but but nah, but MBMA, but the best that I've taken, 1:22:53.880 --> 1:22:56.599 I haven't had a long time as LSD, I search 1:22:56.680 --> 1:23:00.200 you guys it. Yeah, so that's more visual, like eavy 1:23:00.280 --> 1:23:04.240 visual right, No, not necessarily, Well, this is what it does. 1:23:04.439 --> 1:23:07.960 So it so all of the classic psychedelics buying to 1:23:08.000 --> 1:23:10.200 the two way serotonin receptor, they all do the same thing. 1:23:10.880 --> 1:23:16.320 But LSD buys more perfect than serotonin, you feel me. 1:23:16.880 --> 1:23:19.800 So it's just a it's a longer experience and it's 1:23:19.840 --> 1:23:23.960 just now. Visually is like everything I work glasses. I 1:23:23.960 --> 1:23:26.519 got my glass on now because I have sensitive eyes. 1:23:26.880 --> 1:23:29.760 My other glasses in the car and they're tinted, but 1:23:31.200 --> 1:23:35.840 my vision is perfectly HD four eight K. On LSD. 1:23:36.080 --> 1:23:40.479 You just literally see better. For one, the most I've 1:23:40.520 --> 1:23:44.479 seen visually is just distortions, but not like anything that 1:23:44.680 --> 1:23:47.120 wasn't there. Yeah, I did see one time. So one 1:23:47.120 --> 1:23:49.519 time I did do a heroic dose, right, which is 1:23:49.800 --> 1:23:53.640 of what LSD that's a hero dose is like for 1:23:53.680 --> 1:23:55.160 people who don't know, that's like if you want to 1:23:55.240 --> 1:23:58.519 change your life, it's very transformative. You did it here, 1:23:58.560 --> 1:24:00.320 So how much is that? I don't even know what 1:24:00.360 --> 1:24:03.519 the measurement is. But I did an entire dropper where 1:24:03.560 --> 1:24:05.439 you only do a little bubble, right, you do like 1:24:05.439 --> 1:24:08.040 the little tab and then so you did a whole drop. 1:24:08.080 --> 1:24:10.760 You could do the tabs, which is the easiest way 1:24:10.880 --> 1:24:14.439 to measure it, or liquid which you're supposed to dilute 1:24:14.720 --> 1:24:16.680 and then do it like that. But I never diluted it, 1:24:17.160 --> 1:24:19.479 but I knew how to get it enough. But this 1:24:19.600 --> 1:24:22.599 one day I did the whole drop. So what happened. 1:24:23.800 --> 1:24:26.799 The only thing I seen visually was the camera melting. 1:24:27.680 --> 1:24:29.479 But I'm sitting there looking at it like I know 1:24:29.560 --> 1:24:31.760 that it's not melting, but it's fucking crazy that it 1:24:31.800 --> 1:24:34.160 looks like it's melting, you know what I'm saying. But 1:24:34.320 --> 1:24:38.320 other than that, it was just like it's very transformative 1:24:38.320 --> 1:24:41.200 in a sense that what it does is now when 1:24:41.200 --> 1:24:44.120 you take this big dose, it's not euphoric like when 1:24:44.120 --> 1:24:46.120 you take a hit, you know what I'm saying. So 1:24:46.560 --> 1:24:48.720 that big dose, it tells it your soul, you know 1:24:48.760 --> 1:24:51.320 what I mean. So things that are on your heart, 1:24:51.680 --> 1:24:54.599 it magnifies it. So if it's something, if you got 1:24:54.640 --> 1:24:58.360 some demons, you gotta face that motherfucker. So I faced 1:24:58.400 --> 1:25:00.479 mine and it was just like a relation ship with 1:25:00.520 --> 1:25:02.680 a friend that I needed to fix, you know what 1:25:02.720 --> 1:25:05.240 I'm saying. And you have a sense of urgency to 1:25:05.280 --> 1:25:09.320 work on it. How long did that last that day? 1:25:10.400 --> 1:25:14.759 The whole like fifteen hours or so twelve. I've always 1:25:14.800 --> 1:25:18.760 I've heard people doing the heroes dose on psilocybin. I 1:25:18.840 --> 1:25:20.920 can imagine how you can do that. I think you 1:25:21.000 --> 1:25:24.000 have to eat so many I think it's nasty as 1:25:24.040 --> 1:25:28.240 mushrooms and it's three a's. I've eaten handfuls of mushrooms 1:25:28.280 --> 1:25:30.960 and never even come close to And then you always 1:25:31.000 --> 1:25:34.880 hear people talk about like ayahuasca and DMT being Yeah, 1:25:34.920 --> 1:25:37.960 those are way different. So DMT will blast you off 1:25:38.240 --> 1:25:41.280 like ten minutes, but you're like not there. You lose 1:25:41.320 --> 1:25:43.200 track of time. Yeah, your eyes are rolling in the 1:25:43.240 --> 1:25:45.799 back of your head. One of my best friends, the DMT, 1:25:46.040 --> 1:25:50.160 said that he got a job was in a new 1:25:50.200 --> 1:25:55.960 relationship and lived like six months of life in twenty minutes. Yeah, 1:25:56.080 --> 1:25:59.840 your people think that they're gone for a long time. 1:26:00.560 --> 1:26:02.800 Have you done that. I've done DMT, but I never 1:26:02.840 --> 1:26:05.880 blasted off, So you got to smoke it. I smoke 1:26:05.920 --> 1:26:09.880 you got a free base. Yeah, the penship not the 1:26:09.880 --> 1:26:12.479 way I hear it, but it knocks. Like one year 1:26:12.520 --> 1:26:19.840 on my birthday, I did LSD shrooms and I was 1:26:19.840 --> 1:26:23.280 puffing a d M T pin. It was a good 1:26:23.479 --> 1:26:26.280 fun night, but it sounds like it wasn't nothing crazy. 1:26:26.640 --> 1:26:29.440 But just taking a hit of LSD is very euphoric. 1:26:30.360 --> 1:26:32.400 It's the best. You could sit there and do nothing 1:26:32.400 --> 1:26:34.360 and just be chilling, like, man, this is good. I'm 1:26:34.400 --> 1:26:37.400 having a good time, like listening to music and ship. 1:26:37.400 --> 1:26:39.720 You know what I'm saying on the vape. No no no, no, 1:26:39.760 --> 1:26:43.719 on a hit of LSD, like a like a normal 1:26:43.760 --> 1:26:48.040 and normal LSD. Yeah normal. So so so one night 1:26:49.080 --> 1:26:52.200 everybody came up before a fight and I take it 1:26:52.280 --> 1:26:55.720 in shrooms and LSD. Everybody else just took shrooms and 1:26:55.760 --> 1:26:57.920 so I'm good. I can't wait for everybody to leave 1:26:58.439 --> 1:27:00.479 and I lay down and I put on I've been 1:27:00.520 --> 1:27:05.559 wanting to watch that Lemonade album, all the videos from 1:27:05.560 --> 1:27:08.280 Beyonce I take It. Took me a long time to 1:27:08.280 --> 1:27:10.280 get into shit. I don't want to watch it when 1:27:10.280 --> 1:27:12.040 everybody talking about it, you you know what I'm saying, But 1:27:12.080 --> 1:27:13.960 that shit been sitting in my head for years. This 1:27:14.120 --> 1:27:17.559 night I watched it, every fucking video, and I was like, 1:27:17.640 --> 1:27:20.680 this is for I respect this woman. And then I 1:27:20.720 --> 1:27:23.719 watched Jay Z's forty four to four all his videos. 1:27:23.840 --> 1:27:26.519 It was a response to that. I'm like, wow, I 1:27:26.600 --> 1:27:29.479 was blown a fucking way. And then I watched the 1:27:29.560 --> 1:27:32.200 NAS documentary. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I was like, man, 1:27:32.240 --> 1:27:35.160 he's such a dope dude, like it just you just 1:27:35.320 --> 1:27:38.880 enjoy shit. You you ain't rushing, Like I can't sit 1:27:38.920 --> 1:27:41.200 and watch no a bunch of videos back to back, 1:27:41.280 --> 1:27:44.120 you know what I'm saying. But on that I watched 1:27:44.120 --> 1:27:45.760 and I had the time of my life and I 1:27:45.760 --> 1:27:47.679 gave a new found respect for all three of them. 1:27:47.720 --> 1:27:50.120 I always loved them, but it was different than and 1:27:50.160 --> 1:27:52.759 I was so inspired, you know what I mean. Definitely, 1:27:52.840 --> 1:27:56.519 I do feel like you. Like, I discovered this band 1:27:56.560 --> 1:28:01.080 called Tam and Paula on Trooms. It's one guy. They've 1:28:01.120 --> 1:28:04.280 they've sound so this guy is headlined to Coachella, Like 1:28:04.600 --> 1:28:07.360 it's one dude who plays all the instruments. It's crazy, 1:28:08.080 --> 1:28:10.639 But I was just I was in a Joshua tree 1:28:10.680 --> 1:28:14.680 at Airbnb, and uh, I don't even know how it 1:28:14.680 --> 1:28:16.760 came on. I think I searched like shroom music or 1:28:16.800 --> 1:28:18.400 something because I ate a lot, and I was in 1:28:18.439 --> 1:28:20.760 a hot tub under the stars and I was like, oh, 1:28:20.840 --> 1:28:22.920 this is the best song I've ever heard of my life. 1:28:22.960 --> 1:28:27.280 Who is this? There's some music that hits. So when 1:28:27.320 --> 1:28:29.600 you take nah nah, I think I just really just 1:28:29.600 --> 1:28:32.280 get stuck like in my thoughts in a good way 1:28:32.280 --> 1:28:34.519 and in a bad way. But I have I take 1:28:34.560 --> 1:28:38.360 that back. I took a bunch of edibles and I 1:28:38.479 --> 1:28:41.280 ate shrooms, and I got drunk as ship in Austin. 1:28:41.439 --> 1:28:42.960 Me and Freddy Gibbs were out there. He did the 1:28:43.000 --> 1:28:47.400 Joe Rogan podcast, and uh, you know I'm a big 1:28:47.439 --> 1:28:51.000 Joe Rogan fan, so uh we ended up hanging out 1:28:51.000 --> 1:28:56.040 with him again at night upstairs at uh Anton's Comedy Club, 1:28:56.720 --> 1:28:59.599 and I had these shroom chocolates and I was like, yo, Joe, 1:29:00.640 --> 1:29:02.559 like you're the reason why I Loki. I got interested 1:29:02.600 --> 1:29:04.760 in the shrooms he's like, so it's only right. I'm 1:29:04.760 --> 1:29:06.760 gonna eat these in front of you. So me and 1:29:06.960 --> 1:29:09.760 me and Freddy split the candy bar. No, he was like, no, 1:29:09.840 --> 1:29:11.320 I got a plan for this shit. Man. He's like, 1:29:11.360 --> 1:29:14.000 I just don't. I just don't. Fucking He's like, it's 1:29:14.040 --> 1:29:16.360 a Tuesday night. It was a Tuesday night. Yeah, it 1:29:16.400 --> 1:29:18.679 was kind of a bummer, but he was cool as fuck. 1:29:18.960 --> 1:29:23.040 But so I was already off in fucking edibles, ship 1:29:23.080 --> 1:29:25.920 face drunk, and I ate a bunch of shrooms. I 1:29:26.040 --> 1:29:27.960 split the bar with fred and then we went out 1:29:28.080 --> 1:29:31.600 bar hopping and and I feel like every time I 1:29:31.600 --> 1:29:34.400 get super fucked up on psychedelics and I go out, 1:29:34.800 --> 1:29:38.640 all the wild shit that would happen to somebody in 1:29:38.720 --> 1:29:41.519 real life that would suck if you were tripping always 1:29:41.560 --> 1:29:45.280 happens to me. So like, there was this chick at 1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:48.280 this bar on sixth in Austin who was dancing for 1:29:48.320 --> 1:29:51.200 like thirty minutes straight, craziest cardio I've ever seen on 1:29:51.240 --> 1:29:56.040 a human being. Oh no, she turned around and her 1:29:56.160 --> 1:29:59.080 face was it, you know, like it was like pixelated, 1:29:59.080 --> 1:30:01.640 like it was censored. I could was censored on cops 1:30:01.640 --> 1:30:03.160 like you know, like back then, you see you watch 1:30:03.240 --> 1:30:06.800 cops and there her face was censored. Yeah, like it 1:30:06.840 --> 1:30:09.040 was just that's weird. Bro. I had so that day 1:30:09.240 --> 1:30:12.479 when I took that heroic dose. He was with me, 1:30:12.880 --> 1:30:15.240 you know, Andre birth Throw, the boxer. He was with me, 1:30:15.320 --> 1:30:19.120 and then my old assistant and Bro. I would think 1:30:19.160 --> 1:30:22.200 she's the most righteous person here. But her face was 1:30:22.240 --> 1:30:25.840 weird as fuck, and nobody else's face was. I was like, hey, 1:30:25.840 --> 1:30:28.599 you're good. I'm looking at she like she's looking at 1:30:28.600 --> 1:30:30.120 me like I can't even tell you what was wrong 1:30:30.160 --> 1:30:31.880 with it, but it's something wrong with it, Like her 1:30:31.920 --> 1:30:36.080 normal cute voice, right, I see sure, I said, come 1:30:36.120 --> 1:30:38.679 here real quick, I'm trying to see, and it's the same, 1:30:38.720 --> 1:30:40.439 like she's getting closed. I just like I had to 1:30:40.439 --> 1:30:42.760 turn go somewhere. I even went and looked at myself 1:30:42.800 --> 1:30:44.240 in the mirror. They say, don't look at yourself, you're 1:30:44.240 --> 1:30:48.840 gonna freak out. I'm normal, but only her face, and 1:30:48.920 --> 1:30:51.120 she's a sweet peron. I don't know what the significance 1:30:51.160 --> 1:30:53.400 of that was, you know what I mean, She's not 1:30:53.439 --> 1:30:56.360 a bad person. She's a great person. Not your assistant anymore, 1:30:56.800 --> 1:30:59.080 not only because she moved on to bigger. I thought, 1:30:59.120 --> 1:31:00.840 that's where the story was, and I thought to be 1:31:00.840 --> 1:31:03.840 like face melting. And three weeks later I found out 1:31:03.840 --> 1:31:06.519 she was stealing from Mena. Never none of that she was. 1:31:06.560 --> 1:31:08.960 She was like, she's a good friend of mine, you know, 1:31:09.840 --> 1:31:12.439 but I never told her that ship. I won't tell 1:31:12.439 --> 1:31:15.800 her that. Yeah, she took Ella's d like one time. 1:31:15.840 --> 1:31:18.400 Everybody in my office we all took it, like when 1:31:18.400 --> 1:31:20.479 we found out about it and ship, because you know, 1:31:20.560 --> 1:31:22.439 you think you can't work, but you work better, you 1:31:22.479 --> 1:31:24.559 know what I'm saying. So we all took it, and 1:31:24.680 --> 1:31:29.720 she freaked out didn't work for her. I sat with her. 1:31:29.880 --> 1:31:33.120 I had a perfect high or whatever you call it, perfect, 1:31:33.200 --> 1:31:35.840 but I had to tend to her for like six hours. Well, 1:31:35.880 --> 1:31:38.559 I think it's it is one of the like rare things, 1:31:38.560 --> 1:31:41.840 like psychedelics is like really a person to person basis. Man, Yeah, 1:31:41.920 --> 1:31:44.720 because my wife will eat like a lot and not 1:31:45.080 --> 1:31:47.360 barely feel anything, and I'll eat the same amount and 1:31:47.400 --> 1:31:51.360 I'll be fucking sunk in the sunken place. Speaking of Rogan, 1:31:51.439 --> 1:31:55.720 I went to see him in Irvine improv and I 1:31:55.880 --> 1:31:59.639 ate two chocolate bars right, and he was fucking hilarious. 1:31:59.680 --> 1:32:01.880 I felt like he was on shows two You know 1:32:01.880 --> 1:32:05.559 what I'm saying, and man, we're gonna vibe, but this 1:32:05.600 --> 1:32:10.760 is weird. He it was like, not him. Everybody that 1:32:10.960 --> 1:32:15.479 came on stage looked fucking bizarre shit, right, and he 1:32:15.600 --> 1:32:17.639 was like, this is not this is him, but it's 1:32:17.800 --> 1:32:21.439 not the texture of his skin was weird because you know, 1:32:21.479 --> 1:32:25.160 he's kind of short and like like a short cave 1:32:25.240 --> 1:32:29.040 man by very much, but it was like intensified. It's 1:32:29.080 --> 1:32:30.880 crazy how short he is, Like when you actually meet 1:32:30.920 --> 1:32:33.160 him and you don't realize, like, oh, he's a short dude. 1:32:33.200 --> 1:32:36.439 Like I mean, he's fucking built like a fucking tree, 1:32:36.520 --> 1:32:39.519 you know. But I seen him maybe a month later sober, 1:32:40.200 --> 1:32:44.439 look like normal Joe Rogan, Uh, have you ever talked 1:32:44.439 --> 1:32:46.160 to him about maybe going on the show or anything. No, 1:32:46.240 --> 1:32:48.680 I don't. I don't know. We have somebody, a couple 1:32:48.720 --> 1:32:52.360 of people mutual friends, but now I haven't had a 1:32:52.800 --> 1:32:54.800 I would love to one day everybody be like you 1:32:54.960 --> 1:32:58.080 like the black little Rogan take that as a compliment, 1:32:58.360 --> 1:33:00.920 But I don't have a reason right now. You know 1:33:00.920 --> 1:33:02.760 what I'm saying. If it's a big project I have 1:33:02.840 --> 1:33:05.439 coming out or whatever, maybe you drop a book or 1:33:05.880 --> 1:33:09.720 documentary or yeah, all things that I'm working on, so 1:33:10.240 --> 1:33:12.000 then I'll play that card. But I do want to 1:33:12.000 --> 1:33:13.280 do it just to do it. I mean I would 1:33:13.360 --> 1:33:15.120 if we could just keep rocking. You know what I'm saying, 1:33:15.160 --> 1:33:17.000 because I with him hard. You know what I'm saying. 1:33:17.200 --> 1:33:24.920 I saw you had a bench press competition with Bradley Martin. Yeah, 1:33:25.000 --> 1:33:30.320 who's also a big YouTuber. Yeah that's the only Yeah, 1:33:30.360 --> 1:33:32.360 what what's your like? How's he as a dude? Because 1:33:32.360 --> 1:33:34.200 I would see him like, well, Steve will do it 1:33:34.240 --> 1:33:37.200 and the nelkboards and he solid, he slid with me. Bro. 1:33:37.479 --> 1:33:39.759 You know he's got a really dope gym in the valley. Yeah. 1:33:39.960 --> 1:33:44.720 He We was cool Lure back in the day. But 1:33:45.040 --> 1:33:47.679 you know, I just did his podcast like last week, 1:33:48.040 --> 1:33:50.000 and I just told some real ship on the podcast. 1:33:50.120 --> 1:33:52.360 I said, yeah, man, we're cool, but I felt like 1:33:52.800 --> 1:33:55.400 you kind of like used me a little bit, like 1:33:55.880 --> 1:33:58.240 because my my channel was up, he didn't have a 1:33:58.320 --> 1:34:00.800 channel and I was popping, and I've seen he went 1:34:00.880 --> 1:34:02.559 to me for a while, then he went to this 1:34:02.600 --> 1:34:05.479 one and that one. You know what I'm saying, which 1:34:05.720 --> 1:34:09.760 the boys really fucking yeah, And I had to say this, 1:34:09.840 --> 1:34:12.280 I had to to say, it's not that you did 1:34:12.320 --> 1:34:17.000 anything wrong. You identify what was going to be beneficial 1:34:17.040 --> 1:34:21.200 for your acceleration in the space. That's fine, it's nothing 1:34:21.200 --> 1:34:24.040 wrong with that. I just don't do that. Like my 1:34:24.400 --> 1:34:26.719 relationships with people are genuine, you know what I'm saying, 1:34:27.400 --> 1:34:30.200 And so that just kind of felt weird, you know 1:34:30.200 --> 1:34:32.400 what I'm saying. Unfortunately, a lot of people are like that. Yeah, 1:34:32.439 --> 1:34:36.360 he took it well. We talked about we're good. We solid. 1:34:36.360 --> 1:34:37.800 That's my guy, you know what I'm saying. I got 1:34:37.840 --> 1:34:40.040 a love for him. I'm proud of him. He do 1:34:40.160 --> 1:34:43.840 his thing, but yeah, but he solid, bro, he solid. 1:34:44.280 --> 1:34:46.160 He's one thing that was dope about him when he 1:34:46.200 --> 1:34:48.400 came around. Back then, it was like there was so 1:34:48.439 --> 1:34:50.800 many people that wanted to like come getting videos and 1:34:50.800 --> 1:34:53.760 shit right, I'm like, all right, well, come get down 1:34:53.760 --> 1:34:56.360 with us, because we're going to hell and back, and 1:34:56.439 --> 1:34:58.320 motherfuckers will come up late to try to be a 1:34:58.439 --> 1:35:01.120 part of it, and and I'll be telling my videuy, 1:35:01.160 --> 1:35:03.679 like don't have this, nigga, then just turn the camera 1:35:03.720 --> 1:35:06.000 off when he's doing the ship because like, nah, you 1:35:06.040 --> 1:35:08.200 do all of the ship with us. You ain't got 1:35:08.200 --> 1:35:10.080 to be as strong, but put in the effort. You 1:35:10.120 --> 1:35:12.599 know what I'm saying. There was a guy. I remember 1:35:12.640 --> 1:35:16.160 a guy because every I don't really do anymore, but 1:35:16.200 --> 1:35:19.320 people will fly in pay two grand to train with 1:35:19.400 --> 1:35:22.040 me like that. And in the video, and I remember 1:35:22.040 --> 1:35:25.040 a guy quit like first two exercises, right, he just 1:35:25.080 --> 1:35:28.479 can't really Yeah, and then but I felt like he 1:35:28.520 --> 1:35:29.920 just wanted to get his picture with me and all 1:35:29.960 --> 1:35:33.080 that shit. He met you, he hung out and then 1:35:33.120 --> 1:35:35.600 he was like, Yo, how can I get that with 1:35:35.600 --> 1:35:39.400 the squad?

I'm so pure everything I do. 1:35:45.920 --> 1:35:48.240 It's just weird when people are on that kind of 1:35:48.240 --> 1:35:51.080 shit around me. It's like you didn't know, motherfuckers. But 1:35:51.200 --> 1:35:53.240 and I just felt like everybody's pure, you know what 1:35:53.240 --> 1:35:56.560 I'm saying, But most people aren't.

Because you know some 1:37:04.000 --> 1:37:07.880 people do the keto thing, some people are vegan. You know, 1:37:08.360 --> 1:37:11.479 what would be in your opinion kind of like obviously 1:37:11.520 --> 1:37:15.599 you're an expert in terms of bodybuilding, health, exercise all that. 1:37:15.640 --> 1:37:19.920 What do you think is the best diet. It would 1:37:19.960 --> 1:37:23.960 depend on that individual. It depends on what you can sustain, 1:37:24.000 --> 1:37:26.519 what's sustainable for you, you know what I'm saying. It 1:37:26.560 --> 1:37:29.000 would depend on what works for your body. You know 1:37:29.040 --> 1:37:32.840 what I'm saying. It's a it's so many variables. I 1:37:32.880 --> 1:37:35.800 will never say this is the way for everybody. Yeah, 1:37:35.800 --> 1:37:37.680 it feels like a diet. Diet thing is kind of 1:37:37.720 --> 1:37:41.360 like not one size fits all. It's not and it's 1:37:41.360 --> 1:37:43.479 not rocket science either, you know what I mean. There's 1:37:43.479 --> 1:37:46.000 a lot of people in the space that over complicates 1:37:46.120 --> 1:37:48.360 the information for people, so they feel like they need 1:37:48.479 --> 1:37:50.760 to be with these people. I'm not doing that at all. 1:37:51.120 --> 1:37:55.519 I've never done that. So I'll communicate the information in 1:37:55.520 --> 1:37:58.320 a very digestible way because that's how I needed to me, 1:37:58.520 --> 1:37:59.920 you know what I'm saying. I ask a lot of 1:38:00.160 --> 1:38:02.679 questions when I'm trying to understand something, So I think 1:38:02.760 --> 1:38:05.679 like that when I'm trying to educate people on certain 1:38:05.680 --> 1:38:09.840 things and return they kind of stay with you anyway 1:38:09.840 --> 1:38:12.160 because they fuck with you, they respect you, they know 1:38:12.200 --> 1:38:15.240 that you're giving them good information. So yeah, I never 1:38:15.640 --> 1:38:17.840 scare people with information, you know what I'm saying, unless 1:38:17.840 --> 1:38:20.320 they're unhealthy. I'm like, you're going to die right right right? 1:38:20.320 --> 1:38:22.080 You know when you say you eat once a day, 1:38:22.240 --> 1:38:23.880 it's one meal a day? Like will you have a 1:38:23.920 --> 1:38:27.240 protein shake? Will you will have a three workout? Is 1:38:27.360 --> 1:38:29.639 one meal a day? Like today I had a beef 1:38:29.720 --> 1:38:31.719 jerky and some piece of cheese on the way up here. 1:38:31.960 --> 1:38:33.960 I was just hungry. Not a meal. Not a meal. 1:38:34.439 --> 1:38:36.240 I have a meal park when we leave here or 1:38:36.280 --> 1:38:39.840 get back to OC. But yeah, there's sometimes I do 1:38:39.880 --> 1:38:42.040 have a protein shake, sometimes have a shake around the 1:38:42.080 --> 1:38:44.800 time on my meal. But it's just one meal. You 1:38:44.800 --> 1:38:46.920 know what I'm saying. And the reason I do it 1:38:46.960 --> 1:38:51.160 is for like the body, our bodies. First of all, 1:38:51.200 --> 1:38:55.200 there's two killers. There's two epidemics right in this country. 1:38:55.200 --> 1:38:58.559 And it's not COVID. It's heart disease and type two diabetes, right, 1:38:58.840 --> 1:39:04.880 and both of them. If heart disease and diabetes is 1:39:04.880 --> 1:39:07.200 a bullet, food is the gun. You know what I'm saying. 1:39:07.640 --> 1:39:10.320 We get it about how much we eat and the 1:39:10.400 --> 1:39:15.400 shit that we eat. Right, So I fast, like I 1:39:15.439 --> 1:39:18.439 do a fast once a week every Wednesday, twenty four fast. 1:39:18.479 --> 1:39:23.759 But so every Wednesday you're fasting, correct, So I fasted 1:39:23.800 --> 1:39:28.439 a lot throughout the years. Right, I'm Muslim, not super religious, 1:39:28.439 --> 1:39:30.360 but it's still in the cultures. I'm just used to it, 1:39:30.360 --> 1:39:31.960 you know what I'm saying. But I kind of came 1:39:32.040 --> 1:39:35.639 up with my own reasons for fasting outside of health purposes. 1:39:35.680 --> 1:39:38.360 But the health purposes is you're giving your digestive system 1:39:38.400 --> 1:39:41.120 a break, right, You're giving your brain a break. Because 1:39:41.560 --> 1:39:44.400 people don't realize that forty percent of the food or 1:39:44.400 --> 1:39:46.599 the energy that you're putting in your body is being 1:39:46.680 --> 1:39:49.280 used up by your brain. It's crazy. The brain is 1:39:49.320 --> 1:39:51.680 an expensive piece of real estate, and it's not the 1:39:51.680 --> 1:39:54.639 biggest you know what I mean. So pound for pound, 1:39:54.840 --> 1:39:57.439 your brain's eating up most using most of the energy 1:39:57.479 --> 1:40:01.880 that you're using you're putting your body. Now, with that, 1:40:02.520 --> 1:40:05.760 it's slowing down different mechanisms in the body. So if 1:40:05.800 --> 1:40:09.519 you got a little virus, a little infection, your immune 1:40:09.520 --> 1:40:12.960 system is not working as properly. If you always full 1:40:12.960 --> 1:40:16.439 of food, because you have to digest that shit. With digestion, 1:40:16.520 --> 1:40:19.280 it's like one two, it's like four or five different 1:40:19.320 --> 1:40:22.080 stages of digestion. So that's so much work that your 1:40:22.080 --> 1:40:24.120 brain got to do and your body got to produce. 1:40:24.439 --> 1:40:26.120 That's why people get tired when they eat, you know, 1:40:26.160 --> 1:40:29.559 I mean for sure. So for me, me being a 1:40:29.760 --> 1:40:32.360 high octane person, always on the go with a lot 1:40:32.360 --> 1:40:34.559 of shit to do, I want to be at my 1:40:34.720 --> 1:40:38.040 optimal levels at all time. You're not optimized when you're 1:40:38.040 --> 1:40:41.559 full of food, You're not. You know, our ancestors when 1:40:41.560 --> 1:40:44.519 they were hunters and gatherers, the motherfuckers ate a couple 1:40:44.600 --> 1:40:46.519 times a week, let alone a day, you know what 1:40:46.520 --> 1:40:48.799 i mean. And when they went out and hunted for food, 1:40:49.479 --> 1:40:51.960 or search or forge for food, or had the track 1:40:52.200 --> 1:40:55.360 a fucking elk for miles, they did on an empty stomach. 1:40:55.960 --> 1:40:57.760 On an empty stomach, you have a heightened sense of 1:40:57.800 --> 1:41:00.800 awareness and alertness, you have more energy, all of these things. 1:41:00.840 --> 1:41:05.599 This is necessary and evolutionary biology because we have to survive, 1:41:05.760 --> 1:41:09.080 you know what I mean. It doesn't get you get 1:41:09.120 --> 1:41:12.840 a dump of a pleasure sensors when you eat, so 1:41:12.920 --> 1:41:15.080 you're not trying to hustle, you're not trying to get out. 1:41:15.080 --> 1:41:17.600 Of course, you eat, you chill, you relax, you know 1:41:17.640 --> 1:41:19.040 what I'm saying. It's a reward so you can go 1:41:19.080 --> 1:41:22.080 and do it again when it's necessary. So, but when 1:41:22.080 --> 1:41:27.000 you're not, it feels uncomfortable. But you're operating better now. 1:41:27.160 --> 1:41:31.400 For me, I shift my perspective, right, I recalibrate my thinking, 1:41:31.880 --> 1:41:34.400 so I'm not uncomfortable when I'm not eating. You know 1:41:34.439 --> 1:41:37.000 what I'm saying. I'm actually more comfortable because everybody else 1:41:37.040 --> 1:41:38.880 is tripping out about having to find food, you know 1:41:38.920 --> 1:41:42.840 what I'm saying. And I don't need it right and 1:41:43.760 --> 1:41:46.000 you know, just to you know my brain, I just 1:41:46.000 --> 1:41:49.160 think more clear. I make better decisions. You know. I 1:41:49.160 --> 1:41:50.920 don't have that brain fag when I eat too much, 1:41:50.960 --> 1:41:54.719 like a weekend, I just go hard. I got brain 1:41:54.760 --> 1:41:58.000 fog on Monday. I'm saying a lot. Will you do that, 1:41:58.080 --> 1:42:00.519 like a once once a week at least, just going 1:42:00.800 --> 1:42:03.680 not really? You know, people have their cheat day, maybe 1:42:03.680 --> 1:42:05.080 it's once a month, once a while. I don't. Yeah, 1:42:05.160 --> 1:42:08.280 it's such a setback for me. So it's another thing, bro, 1:42:08.360 --> 1:42:11.400 I have a different relationship with food. I don't look 1:42:11.439 --> 1:42:14.479 at food is not a pleasurable thing for me. It 1:42:14.520 --> 1:42:17.160 tastes good when I eat it, but I'm not I 1:42:17.200 --> 1:42:20.160 don't associate like you like a food. Nah, I'm not 1:42:20.240 --> 1:42:22.000 at all. Food is just a means to when it 1:42:22.000 --> 1:42:25.840 it's just fuel for my body. That's it. You put gas. 1:42:25.880 --> 1:42:27.519 I don't like gas, but I got to put it 1:42:27.520 --> 1:42:30.679 in my car to drive it. It's the same relationship 1:42:30.720 --> 1:42:35.000 with food. Even if I go out nice restaurant, I 1:42:35.040 --> 1:42:37.840 barely eat. I'm drinking, you know what I'm saying, having fun. 1:42:37.840 --> 1:42:40.120 I'm there for the vibes. I might eat a little salad, 1:42:40.200 --> 1:42:44.560 just something. When I eat, I'm not motivated, you know 1:42:44.560 --> 1:42:46.599 what I'm saying. When I eat, I want to kick 1:42:46.600 --> 1:42:48.960 my feet up. But I mean, obviously, you're a big guy. 1:42:49.080 --> 1:42:53.160 You have a lifestyle that is burns a lot of energy. 1:42:53.320 --> 1:42:55.640 So do you get I mean, you obviously have a 1:42:55.640 --> 1:42:58.880 big meal one today and then protein shake. But my 1:42:58.920 --> 1:43:02.719 meal is at the end of the day. So when 1:43:02.760 --> 1:43:06.639 you don't eat as often, you have better protein synthesis, right, 1:43:06.680 --> 1:43:09.519 So that means you have a better mechanism of your 1:43:09.560 --> 1:43:14.160 body breaking down proteins, carbs, and fats and shuttling it 1:43:14.240 --> 1:43:17.679 to the right places that you actually need. It's no excess, right, 1:43:18.080 --> 1:43:22.040 So people actually build muscle better when they eat less. 1:43:22.280 --> 1:43:25.000 You know what I mean. Now, what you're used to 1:43:25.040 --> 1:43:27.479 seeing is people eating five six times a day, so 1:43:27.520 --> 1:43:30.280 they're going to build a lot of muscle regardless. A 1:43:30.320 --> 1:43:33.880 lot of fact too, so, but lots of chips. Yeah, 1:43:34.200 --> 1:43:36.720 all that shit, that's crazy. But sorry, my friend over 1:43:36.760 --> 1:43:38.719 there's a vegetarian and alway does is these fucking noodles, 1:43:38.760 --> 1:43:44.519 chips and cheese pizza. Worst died ever anyway. But yeah, 1:43:44.560 --> 1:43:48.599 so yeah, and then faster and just fasting in general, 1:43:48.720 --> 1:43:52.680 like your body reaches a it does this thing called autophagy. 1:43:53.000 --> 1:43:55.600 And what it does is it's like it's like a 1:43:55.640 --> 1:43:58.400 starvation mode, right, and they start cleaning out all the 1:43:58.439 --> 1:44:01.520 dead cells. You know what I'm saying. It's a regenerative 1:44:01.560 --> 1:44:03.880 thing that I do once a week, you know. And 1:44:04.040 --> 1:44:06.800 I'm not sure if I reach outopogy during the during 1:44:06.840 --> 1:44:08.800 that one day period. Yeah, no, I know I do 1:44:08.840 --> 1:44:10.360 it in a one day period, but I'm not sure 1:44:10.360 --> 1:44:12.240 if I do it in my one throughout the day 1:44:12.800 --> 1:44:17.120 once a day like day. Yeah, And I have slowed 1:44:17.120 --> 1:44:20.200 down my metabolism. So you always hear fast metabolism that's healthy. 1:44:20.560 --> 1:44:24.519 It's no healthy or unhealthy metabolism, it's just effishent or 1:44:24.760 --> 1:44:28.960 any fishing. A fast metabolism is actually in an effiicient metabolism. 1:44:29.120 --> 1:44:31.960 And if you look at across the fucking animal kingdom, 1:44:32.320 --> 1:44:34.400 the animals that eat the most lived the shortest years. 1:44:34.520 --> 1:44:36.720 You know what I mean, big cats, you know the 1:44:36.720 --> 1:44:40.400 predators animals that live the longest. I mean, there's a 1:44:40.439 --> 1:44:45.680 predators too, but they eat very few times, like crocodiles. Sharks, 1:44:46.080 --> 1:44:49.080 shit sharks live like five hundred years. A greenland shark 1:44:49.160 --> 1:44:51.240 live five hundred years. They have no reason to die, 1:44:51.280 --> 1:44:52.800 you know what I'm saying. The turtles don't eat it, 1:44:52.920 --> 1:44:55.040 and it can be a hundred years old, right. They 1:44:55.120 --> 1:44:58.200 eat once a year, once a year x amount of months, 1:44:58.240 --> 1:45:01.520 you know what I'm saying. So, but they have extremely 1:45:01.640 --> 1:45:05.040 slow metabolisms, and you would you get that by eating less. 1:45:05.240 --> 1:45:08.000 It's simple. Now, if someone eats a lot and have 1:45:08.040 --> 1:45:11.280 a slow metabolism, that's a problem. They're fast, yeah. Or 1:45:11.439 --> 1:45:14.360 if somebody eat once a day and have a fast metabolism, 1:45:14.400 --> 1:45:16.519 it's just not gonna work. Right. So if you have 1:45:16.560 --> 1:45:20.160 a faster metabolism, but you slow it down or speed 1:45:20.200 --> 1:45:23.000 it up, depending on how you eat. My shit used 1:45:23.000 --> 1:45:26.480 to be like rapid fast when I ate a lot. 1:45:26.640 --> 1:45:30.439 But so so I know, like my size, it would 1:45:30.479 --> 1:45:32.640 seem like it's how is it likely I can be 1:45:33.160 --> 1:45:35.920 two fifteen to twenty on one mill of day. I 1:45:36.000 --> 1:45:37.599 used to be too fifty. You know what I'm saying. 1:45:37.760 --> 1:45:40.519 I was eating a lot what I'm saying, so that 1:45:40.560 --> 1:45:43.479 ain't healthy. Even though I look great, I got my 1:45:43.520 --> 1:45:47.439 blood work, I was trending towards being pre diabetic. Two 1:45:47.479 --> 1:45:48.960 fifty is two fifty. You don't give a fuck if 1:45:48.960 --> 1:45:50.400 his muscles or not, you know what I'm saying. And 1:45:50.439 --> 1:45:53.080 I was eating fucking every two three hours. You know 1:45:53.120 --> 1:45:56.240 what I'm saying. Spike and insulin become an insulin resistant 1:45:56.240 --> 1:46:00.400 That's how we get diabetes. So I slowed that shit down, 1:46:01.320 --> 1:46:04.400 just took matters into my own hands, started doing going 1:46:04.400 --> 1:46:05.680 back to one mither day. I used to do it 1:46:05.680 --> 1:46:08.360 a long time ago. Wow. Yeah, what would you say 1:46:08.400 --> 1:46:12.160 like your routine? Do you have a routine every day 1:46:12.320 --> 1:46:14.080 or does it change because you're obviously a busy guy. 1:46:14.120 --> 1:46:16.400 You retort, you record content, But is there like a 1:46:16.760 --> 1:46:20.080 I'm working out during these hours, have my protein shake 1:46:20.120 --> 1:46:22.320 after you do a protein shake right after your workout, 1:46:22.400 --> 1:46:24.760 or it depends on how I feel. So I do 1:46:24.840 --> 1:46:28.400 have a routine, And yeah, there's some variations like say 1:46:28.439 --> 1:46:31.240 if I come out to LA or whatever, but typically 1:46:31.280 --> 1:46:33.960 I'm at the gym at seven thirty. Well, I get 1:46:34.040 --> 1:46:38.439 up around five thirty five o'clock, I'll wake up. I'm 1:46:38.479 --> 1:46:41.439 out the bed five thirty five forty five. I meditate 1:46:41.520 --> 1:46:44.840 first thing in the morning, and then I'll I'll either 1:46:44.920 --> 1:46:48.120 sit and read or I'll play something and lay back down, 1:46:48.280 --> 1:46:50.080 like an audiobook or something or a video I wanted 1:46:50.080 --> 1:46:53.960 to learn about. And then I'm out the door train 1:46:54.600 --> 1:46:56.439 and then my little crew that we all train together 1:46:56.479 --> 1:46:59.519 early and then we go sit in asauna and just talk, 1:47:00.040 --> 1:47:04.120 talk shit, whatever. And then from their home, shower, get dressed, 1:47:04.120 --> 1:47:07.519 and I'm at the office. I'm either shooting content or 1:47:07.760 --> 1:47:10.599 we're in meetings or phone calls, just handling my shit 1:47:10.680 --> 1:47:13.519 during the day, and I'm usually there till about six seven. 1:47:15.080 --> 1:47:19.240 It depends on what I'm working on. Sometimes I'll work 1:47:19.280 --> 1:47:23.679 from home if I don't have to shoot something and yeah, 1:47:23.720 --> 1:47:26.559 and then at the end of the day's kids or 1:47:26.960 --> 1:47:29.360 my own little time shit like that. What are some 1:47:29.600 --> 1:47:32.960 I've seen you train with rappers like Jim Jones and Miami. 1:47:33.479 --> 1:47:35.240 Who are some of the artists that you've trained with 1:47:35.520 --> 1:47:39.439 that could hang with you a bit with effort? Jim 1:47:39.520 --> 1:47:42.280 Jones Jim, Yeah, he seems to take it very serious 1:47:42.320 --> 1:47:45.720 in terms of just one percent Yeah, Jimmy would be 1:47:45.720 --> 1:47:48.439 out partying. He come balance that shit out in the gym. 1:47:48.479 --> 1:47:51.519 He rocks a legit rock star. Yeah, but he he 1:47:51.520 --> 1:47:54.439 he stay on. If Jimmy wasn't training the way he do, 1:47:54.560 --> 1:47:57.160 he probably be very unhealthy and look like shit. You 1:47:57.200 --> 1:47:59.400 know what I'm saying. Yeah, he's a beast. I'm both Yeah, 1:47:59.520 --> 1:48:02.280 a beast. So I respect the hell out of jim Jones. 1:48:02.520 --> 1:48:05.880 It takes a lot to be a rock star because 1:48:05.920 --> 1:48:08.439 there's effort in that. He's a rock star. Bro. Yeah, 1:48:09.000 --> 1:48:11.600 he's that guy. And then on top of that to 1:48:11.800 --> 1:48:14.120 still have the discipline or find the energy to get 1:48:14.200 --> 1:48:16.479 up and hit the gym. You have to. You have 1:48:16.640 --> 1:48:20.720 to or you're going to die unfunded death. You know 1:48:20.760 --> 1:48:23.519 what I'm saying. We kill ourselves with the shit that 1:48:23.600 --> 1:48:26.080 we do for fun, so you try to balance it 1:48:26.080 --> 1:48:29.040 out with training and trying to eat right. You know, Yeah, 1:48:29.080 --> 1:48:31.080 you were saying that. Do you think because I do 1:48:31.160 --> 1:48:34.240 think that, like we said earlier about diets, like it's 1:48:34.280 --> 1:48:36.320 a not a one size fits all thing, do you 1:48:36.400 --> 1:48:41.479 think there's negative drawbacks to people who cut meat and 1:48:41.600 --> 1:48:44.760 animal products out of their diet. Yeah, I mean there 1:48:44.800 --> 1:48:50.120 can be a deficiency and a lot of different nutrients, iron, protein, 1:48:50.320 --> 1:48:54.880 like you name it. However, there's supplementation, there's other ways 1:48:54.920 --> 1:48:57.040 to get these things, like if you're taking supplements, you 1:48:57.080 --> 1:48:58.960 can probably go to like gen C and find stuff 1:48:58.960 --> 1:49:01.960 to kind of substitute. Yeah, it's ways around it. But 1:49:02.680 --> 1:49:05.800 I think like it's all about balance because I ate 1:49:06.040 --> 1:49:09.080 a vegan diet for a couple of years. Yeah, but 1:49:09.200 --> 1:49:11.160 I didn't think it was necessary. I wanted to try 1:49:11.200 --> 1:49:13.840 it just to see and it got it was easy, right, 1:49:15.200 --> 1:49:18.479 But I don't think I like me so yeah, I 1:49:18.520 --> 1:49:22.200 love it. Something like a or or big filet of 1:49:22.280 --> 1:49:24.880 salmon blackness if it's cooked the right way, cooked the 1:49:24.920 --> 1:49:29.360 right way exactly salmon. Salmon's got to be prepared right yeah. 1:49:29.720 --> 1:49:33.560 Otherwise Yeah, but uh, what is obviously you have the 1:49:33.600 --> 1:49:36.719 supplement line. Where can people find that? I know it's online, 1:49:36.760 --> 1:49:39.920 but is it Ambrosia Collective dot com or at all 1:49:39.920 --> 1:49:43.680 the vitamin shops about a thousand stores throughout the country. Yeah, 1:49:43.720 --> 1:49:45.080 that's a big look. Are you trying to get in 1:49:45.160 --> 1:49:47.439 G and C? And No not really. They don't have 1:49:47.479 --> 1:49:50.120 the best terms, and I really my business is direct 1:49:50.160 --> 1:49:53.320 to consumer. Get yoked. There's a I don't know if 1:49:53.320 --> 1:49:55.080 you have you heard of Get Yoked, I haven't. You're 1:49:55.120 --> 1:49:56.760 trying to get in to Get Yoked. It's a uh 1:49:58.280 --> 1:50:00.880 they have like a bunch of stores like okay, it's 1:50:00.880 --> 1:50:05.320 actually stores Armenian Armenian owned place. Their stores are flat 1:50:05.400 --> 1:50:07.400 a lot of times. If it's not a big retailer, 1:50:07.439 --> 1:50:11.400 I'm kind of spoiled. I'm with huge Like the smaller retailers. 1:50:11.400 --> 1:50:14.880 It's kind of it's like a lot to manage for. Yeah, 1:50:14.920 --> 1:50:16.640 it's almost like the trade off is like not worth it. 1:50:16.680 --> 1:50:18.639 Could rather just direct a consumer at that point, that's 1:50:18.680 --> 1:50:20.360 my that's where we make the money at you know 1:50:20.360 --> 1:50:23.559 what i mean. So Ambrosia is a full line of 1:50:24.320 --> 1:50:28.320 this sports nutrition supplements. See, we come from it from 1:50:28.400 --> 1:50:31.360 a holistic approach. Fuck that were coming from it from 1:50:31.360 --> 1:50:35.320 a spiritual approach. Because every product that we put out 1:50:35.439 --> 1:50:37.320 is good for you, you know what I'm saying. So 1:50:37.560 --> 1:50:40.240 we max out on the science, We spend the we 1:50:40.320 --> 1:50:43.160 put a bag on ingredients that are new to get 1:50:43.240 --> 1:50:46.280 exclusivity deals, you know what I'm saying. We get third 1:50:46.320 --> 1:50:51.479 party testing. We have G and C certification, so the 1:50:51.560 --> 1:50:55.680 highest and highest of quality control we have. We we've 1:50:55.720 --> 1:50:58.080 been doing since day one, so me and my partners, 1:50:58.120 --> 1:51:02.760 we had other company before this, so it wasn't like 1:51:02.800 --> 1:51:04.840 a money play. It was like a legacy play, like 1:51:04.920 --> 1:51:07.160 let's do the dopest fucking shit, you know what I'm saying, 1:51:07.520 --> 1:51:10.320 and make it affordable. So that's exactly what we did. 1:51:10.720 --> 1:51:12.800 And we wasn't worried about making money. We was just 1:51:12.920 --> 1:51:15.720 not wanting to lose money. But like after like a 1:51:15.800 --> 1:51:18.479 year a year or so, we you know, doing taxes 1:51:18.479 --> 1:51:20.920 and we're looking at sales. I wasn't that bad, but 1:51:21.000 --> 1:51:24.719 not even pushing it right. So when I came back 1:51:24.760 --> 1:51:30.040 here from Arizona, i sold my other company, went all 1:51:30.080 --> 1:51:33.840 in with Ambrosia, and we just fucking just just we 1:51:34.479 --> 1:51:39.160 started with like doing tours like the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, 1:51:39.160 --> 1:51:42.120 all the English speaking countries, just hitting the ground, hustling 1:51:42.320 --> 1:51:45.519 old school style and that shit works. I was doing 1:51:45.560 --> 1:51:48.000 a lot of like my marketing is education on the 1:51:48.120 --> 1:51:51.479 ingredients and the importance of these products because they're hard 1:51:51.479 --> 1:51:53.640 to sell. It's not like just a fat burner. I 1:51:53.680 --> 1:51:55.360 have a fat burner now, but I barely put a 1:51:55.360 --> 1:51:57.160 fat burner out less than a year ago, you know 1:51:57.200 --> 1:51:59.599 what I'm saying. I've been in business for years, so 1:52:00.080 --> 1:52:05.240 I went backwards doing really complicated products that it's not 1:52:05.320 --> 1:52:07.760 easy to sell. But it made me a beast with 1:52:07.880 --> 1:52:10.960 marketing because you know you, And it gave me a 1:52:11.000 --> 1:52:14.559 lot of credibility with my fan base because I'm educating 1:52:14.600 --> 1:52:17.080 them on these ingredients. You're not selling them bullshit either, 1:52:17.120 --> 1:52:19.800 It's like not bullshit at all. So and we stand 1:52:19.800 --> 1:52:23.960 by everything, like we have batch we have codes you 1:52:23.960 --> 1:52:27.040 could scan to see which batch this came off of, 1:52:27.160 --> 1:52:29.439 and the testing this that and the third. So a 1:52:29.479 --> 1:52:32.080 lot of people ain't doing that. So these people are 1:52:32.080 --> 1:52:34.280 smart nowadays. You know what I'm saying. It's not one 1:52:34.360 --> 1:52:37.840 hundred percent necessary to go to that extent, but the 1:52:37.880 --> 1:52:39.599 fact that we go to that extent, it gives us 1:52:39.600 --> 1:52:42.400 a lot of credibility, and in return, it gives us 1:52:42.439 --> 1:52:45.559 a lot of respect amongst our peers, which I value, 1:52:45.960 --> 1:52:50.160 and in turn, the sales come in. So you have protein, 1:52:51.439 --> 1:52:53.400 I mean you know I have protein. You have you 1:52:53.439 --> 1:52:55.320 have a whole line of a whole lot ofmlement. So 1:52:55.360 --> 1:52:58.320 what would I guess what would be your like let's 1:52:58.360 --> 1:53:01.479 say like a big brand like Ghost. What's like a 1:53:01.560 --> 1:53:03.760 difference between like what everyone else is doing and what 1:53:03.800 --> 1:53:07.200 you're doing in terms of just ingredients. I don't know 1:53:07.240 --> 1:53:10.920 what Ghost is doing ingredient wise, yeah, but I think 1:53:10.960 --> 1:53:15.080 what they're doing marketing wise is really cool. They got 1:53:15.080 --> 1:53:19.360 a dope energy about their business, about the marketing, the branding, 1:53:19.439 --> 1:53:21.439 and I fox with it. I'm a I love marketing, 1:53:21.439 --> 1:53:24.880 I love people being I love people being innovative about 1:53:24.880 --> 1:53:27.080 this ship. Like mine, I take a whole different approach. 1:53:27.520 --> 1:53:29.600 My shit is more like Illuminati vibes, you know what 1:53:29.600 --> 1:53:33.919 I'm saying. Like you like, there's there's little encrypted messages 1:53:34.040 --> 1:53:37.160 on labels. Even when you pick it up you feel it. 1:53:37.160 --> 1:53:40.240 It's embossed with hieroglyphics. You know what I'm saying. Everything 1:53:40.320 --> 1:53:43.960 means something. And then I name products based on just 1:53:44.040 --> 1:53:47.080 different places of the world because I want to include everybody, 1:53:47.479 --> 1:53:49.519 you know what I mean. So it's a lot of 1:53:49.600 --> 1:53:54.360 like just like window is a Swahili word for movement, 1:53:54.360 --> 1:53:59.160 and that's a joint support product. Plantas plants in Spanish. 1:53:59.360 --> 1:54:01.719 You know what I'm saying. Pacha Mama is my coffee. 1:54:01.720 --> 1:54:04.280 That's Mother Earth like in Peru, get your coffee. Yeah, 1:54:04.320 --> 1:54:07.000 I got a coffee and listen even that high level. 1:54:07.080 --> 1:54:10.559 So it's single we buy it from. We source our 1:54:10.560 --> 1:54:13.760 coffee beans from one family, a farm in Peru. You 1:54:13.760 --> 1:54:15.920 know what I'm saying. The most coffee nowadays is like 1:54:16.040 --> 1:54:19.240 hot dogs. It's just like shitty beans from wherever. You 1:54:19.280 --> 1:54:20.600 know what I'm saying, Like hot dogs is just a 1:54:20.600 --> 1:54:24.200 bunch of mixed up from whatever whatever animal ours. A 1:54:24.240 --> 1:54:27.120 single source from one family, one farm, So we've been 1:54:27.320 --> 1:54:29.800 getting from them for years, so we feel good about that. 1:54:29.960 --> 1:54:34.000 So to honor them, we name the coffee Pacha Mama 1:54:34.120 --> 1:54:37.000 something Peruvian, you know what I mean. So just being 1:54:37.080 --> 1:54:40.800 mindful of the world that we live in, and you know, 1:54:41.040 --> 1:54:43.240 and making people feel included, you know what I mean. 1:54:43.360 --> 1:54:45.680 That's so I wanted to ask you before you get 1:54:45.720 --> 1:54:48.840 out of here. You're somebody who's got so much going on, 1:54:49.040 --> 1:54:51.800 and sometimes I get to the point where I'm like 1:54:51.880 --> 1:54:55.600 pushing myself so much in terms of just things that 1:54:55.680 --> 1:54:59.520 I got my hands in at the same time that 1:54:59.600 --> 1:55:02.360 it can be become exhausting and like sometimes take a 1:55:02.400 --> 1:55:06.880 toll on like the personal side of my life. How 1:55:06.920 --> 1:55:11.960 do you deal with managing so much? Yeah, so I'm 1:55:12.000 --> 1:55:17.480 over that home now. So you know, previously it was like, man, 1:55:17.640 --> 1:55:21.160 it was like I didn't have nothing to give nobody. Yeah, 1:55:21.160 --> 1:55:23.040 it's like because you're because you're your days over and 1:55:23.080 --> 1:55:26.440 you just finished. So now it's a little different man, 1:55:26.560 --> 1:55:30.680 because things are automated and Brosia, it had to sit 1:55:30.760 --> 1:55:32.920 on my shoulders for a couple of years. It has 1:55:32.960 --> 1:55:36.200 a life of its own Now I barely do content 1:55:36.320 --> 1:55:39.200 for it, Ambrosia anymore. It's such a machine. It's its 1:55:39.200 --> 1:55:41.640 own brand now business, you know what I mean. So 1:55:41.680 --> 1:55:44.440 it's my face is not on the labels like my 1:55:44.520 --> 1:55:46.280 very first company. I had to put me on there 1:55:46.480 --> 1:55:48.400 so people know it's me so they buy it. But 1:55:48.760 --> 1:55:51.040 that's a cheap trick to get sales, you know what 1:55:51.040 --> 1:55:53.560 I'm saying. And I didn't want that for this. So 1:55:53.920 --> 1:55:56.680 I just wanted to be like from A to Z, 1:55:56.920 --> 1:56:01.680 be excellent with everything, like the marketing, the names of products, 1:56:01.720 --> 1:56:05.879 like what's in it, the ingredients to taste, like everything 1:56:05.920 --> 1:56:09.080 had to be on points. So it's his own entity now, 1:56:09.160 --> 1:56:11.200 you know what I mean. It's a beast and we 1:56:11.200 --> 1:56:13.920 we we constantly have vcs courting us trying to throw 1:56:13.960 --> 1:56:16.600 big millions of dollars to be a part of it, 1:56:16.720 --> 1:56:21.280 to buy a Yeah, what about how often do you 1:56:21.320 --> 1:56:23.600 shoot content like do you ever just stack it and 1:56:23.640 --> 1:56:27.320 then say cool, I got I have a ton of shit. 1:56:27.720 --> 1:56:30.800 So so it's ship that I'll see an ad I 1:56:30.800 --> 1:56:33.240 forgot that I did, you know what I'm saying. Yeah 1:56:33.080 --> 1:56:34.960 that was a while ago. Yeah, so it's a lot 1:56:35.000 --> 1:56:36.960 of ship. So but I'm always when I think of 1:56:37.320 --> 1:56:39.960 I don't like be forcing myself to shoot ship. I 1:56:40.080 --> 1:56:43.240 like to be let the creativity come naturally, you know 1:56:43.280 --> 1:56:45.520 what I mean. Or if I'm inspired by something, I'll 1:56:45.520 --> 1:56:49.400 go and record. But I'm not forcing myself to shoot 1:56:49.520 --> 1:56:52.160 on a particular schedule, you know what I mean. But 1:56:52.200 --> 1:56:54.800 I am trying to get more consistent with the podcasting 1:56:54.840 --> 1:56:57.560 because I really enjoyed that, you know what I mean. So, 1:56:58.880 --> 1:57:02.440 and I have I can share the creativity by having 1:57:02.440 --> 1:57:04.360 a conversation with somebody else. It ain't just me coming 1:57:04.440 --> 1:57:08.080 up with everything, right, So but yeah, but with that, 1:57:08.760 --> 1:57:10.880 and honestly, the thing that I like doing the most 1:57:11.680 --> 1:57:15.760 professionally is stuff for other people because we also I 1:57:15.760 --> 1:57:19.200 also have like a small media company in which you know, 1:57:19.280 --> 1:57:21.600 I launched, help people launch YouTube channels and all kind 1:57:21.640 --> 1:57:24.560 of shit. So I like doing that, even doing the 1:57:24.600 --> 1:57:26.720 YouTube thing for a while, I mean, and the social 1:57:26.800 --> 1:57:30.720 media thing. It's crazy too, because like I think I 1:57:30.800 --> 1:57:33.879 might have been following you already and I saw somebody 1:57:33.880 --> 1:57:39.760 from Arizona post you and then I was like, oh shit, 1:57:39.880 --> 1:57:44.760 that's sind Q. What the fuck? Like what happened to 1:57:44.760 --> 1:57:48.840 sin Q? And now I know because you was like 1:57:48.960 --> 1:57:53.200 just literally disappeared off the map because man up squad 1:57:53.280 --> 1:57:58.520 was that That was like prior to Willie signing with DTP, right, yeah, 1:57:58.880 --> 1:58:02.320 and then you gotta he got on. He still you know, 1:58:02.760 --> 1:58:05.320 that's my little bro, you know what I'm saying, And 1:58:06.280 --> 1:58:08.640 to connect ask him that that was me, that was 1:58:08.680 --> 1:58:11.080 my story. You know what I'm saying, Like literally, you 1:58:11.080 --> 1:58:12.800 know what I mean. Got Let me tell you something. 1:58:12.840 --> 1:58:15.120 I was doing radio on Boise, Idaho two thousand and 1:58:15.200 --> 1:58:16.640 nine when that album came out, and I bought ten 1:58:16.680 --> 1:58:21.200 copies from the record store Love You. Willie wasn't the 1:58:21.200 --> 1:58:24.040 strongest body work. Yeah, you know what, but it was 1:58:24.080 --> 1:58:27.360 a moment he first state it was a moment for crazy. 1:58:27.480 --> 1:58:30.720 He Like I used to tell him, like, bro, what 1:58:30.760 --> 1:58:32.840 the fuck dore you doing in Arizona? Get out of here, 1:58:33.000 --> 1:58:35.280 go to Atlanta. You should have moved to He should 1:58:35.320 --> 1:58:39.040 have moved to Atlanta. I told him hang out with scrap, 1:58:39.360 --> 1:58:42.080 go be in the club. I'll send bread out there. 1:58:42.120 --> 1:58:44.280 So you could just grease the DJs whatever, do what 1:58:44.320 --> 1:58:46.480 you gotta do, play the game. But he wanted to 1:58:46.480 --> 1:58:48.440 be a big fish in a small pond, and I 1:58:48.480 --> 1:58:51.280 get it. I guess. Like also, like he had like 1:58:51.320 --> 1:58:53.080 a record like Hood Dreamer with Bob, which was a 1:58:53.080 --> 1:58:55.560 little before its time because Bob hadn't really popped popcast. 1:58:55.560 --> 1:58:56.920 That shit was dope. Though he had some ship, he 1:58:56.960 --> 1:58:59.240 had some good records.
