But for 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: like every time, ever since I was young, me and 51 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: this call, we've had this type of bond where like 52 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 2: we won't see each other for a while, but when 53 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 2: we see each other, we just rekindled straight away.

Yeah, under all circumstances, 60 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 5: for me, that felt like je hundred even. 61 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: I remember when when I when I found out about 62 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: his bail condition because I was I was mixed emotions 63 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: because he just got bail. So I was like, bro, 64 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: like this is hectic and I was going to go 65 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: see him in the lawyer, U, he can't see you. 66 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: That's one of the bad conditions, And I was like 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 2: what Yeah, And like for those those of you guys 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: that you guys have already seen, how close we are 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 2: as brothers. It was a big impact for me because 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: the reason why our bond is so powerful is because, 71 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: as we've mentioned before, growing up, we we literally had 72 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: no one to fall back on. We only had each 73 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: other to fall back on. We didn't have any no handouts, 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: no connects. Everything we've built off the ground, we only 75 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: had each other to fall off. We we didn't have 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: anyone to call for us. We were each other's rescue. 77 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: So that's why, like it meant, it means the world 78 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: that we're able to share together now on the table. Yeah, 79 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: it's amazing, bro, it's amazing that. 80 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 5: You mean, I couldn't wait to see this guy again.

Someone 102 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: asked me work got me first involved in the streets. 103 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: So I've spoken a little bit about how I spent 104 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: a bit of my childhood in juvenile and I have 105 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 2: mentioned before that Malick was my former co accused as 106 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: a JUVI. But what got me first involved in the streets? 107 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: So I was never actually a part of anything Malick.

We're all a year apart. I 114 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: wanted to follow him just because I wanted to make 115 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: sure he was taken care of, because I believed in 116 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: my heart, even at a young age, that, yeah, he 117 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: had a lot of boys around it, but I just 118 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: didn't I didn't trust that they loved him as much 119 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: as I did. And you know what, we found that 120 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: that was it was the case in the end, you know, 121 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: we ended up going the distance together, but we wouldn't 122 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: know that.

And 127 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: then that's how I was slowly introduced to the street. Yeah, 128 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: that was my story.

That's it. That's the one take. 154 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: It's really good. 155 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: I thought Melick was hot more, someone thought you were 156 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: someone he actually he actually is. Was your dad in 157 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: your lives growing up? And was he taught on news? 158 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: So what's our daddy in our lives growing up? 159 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, our dad was in all lives growing up. 160 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: You know, our upbringing was you know, like it was 161 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 2: very It was kind of like it was kind of 162 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: like like how every other Islander's family is, you know, 163 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: big family living in a small house, cuddled up together. 164 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 2: Dad obviously had a bit of he had some tough skin, 165 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: but us do all Islander duds. There's nothing new there. 166 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: Like, he was very strict. 167 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 5: Dad liked tongue in dad, so I think he was 168 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 5: because of his strictness. So for me personally as a 169 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 5: as a young and growing up in Australia, I wasn't 170 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 5: really I wasn't really used to the way he was 171 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 5: teaching us and raising us compared to Australian society. I 172 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 5: think that's why it sort of took me off the rails. 173 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 5: I was sort of like I sort of tried to escape. Yeah, 174 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 5: you know that upbringing, Yeah, that good upbringing I was. 175 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 5: But my dad he's a good guy. He's a good 176 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 5: like everything about him was good. He raised us well 177 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: you know what, I to escape that. 178 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got it the most as well. Yeah, 179 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 2: this got a cop because he was like the black 180 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: sheep of our family when we're young. So we all 181 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 2: followed the rules and this this bloke. He was the 182 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: original ball runner running the ball out of the house, 183 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: is running away from home, and then I would go 184 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 2: to follow him, and then that and then you know, 185 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 2: the next brother and then so forth. But you know 186 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: what to touch up on that now that I think 187 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: about it. He was a typical Islander dad, but I 188 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: do think that he was in that one percent top 189 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: tier of tough, tough skin dad. We can go on 190 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: about the hidings, the hidings were. When I heard about 191 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: the hidings that the other island that kids were getting 192 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: us cool, I was like, that's not that bad. It's 193 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 2: pretty rough, but yeah, it doesn't really doesn't really compare. 194 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 5: So, yeah, very very traditional tongue in top of Dade 195 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 5: criminal background and everything. 196 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: My dad was. 197 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 5: Always against everything, you know, but he was like I think, 198 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 5: like for any dad in that situation where their sons 199 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 5: are going in and out of prison, Like I think 200 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: that a lot of dads sort of have no choice. 201 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, like a lot. 202 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 5: Of dads in some cases, we just try to do 203 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 5: whatever they can to help this son. They were probably 204 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 5: still backing for life or yeah. Yeah, like my dad 205 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: was always against crime and everything, but like you know, 206 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 5: when he came to police, coming to arrest us. He 207 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 5: was the first one to stand up and say that, 208 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 5: you know, you're not taking my son. 209 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of dads can relate to that. 210 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 5: You might be against what your child is doing, but 211 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 5: you're always going to have love for your kid, you know. 212 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: But he's one of those fellows man like I'll strive 213 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: to be someone like my old man. You know, no 214 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: matter how he gets, he he's always going to be 215 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 2: in our corner.

Anytime you can get more than once. But technic, 237 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: but just brush your teeth. 238 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: Man, how about in prison? 239 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 5: We used to brush a log three four times a 240 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 5: day because we're going to do you come up with 241 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 5: dictator at a prison? 242 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: Well, did they have like the long two brushes or 243 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: is it that small one? 244 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 5: That's small?

Just advice? 249 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 2: What's the advice? 250 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: My best My best advice was just to be cut 251 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 3: yourself off from that type of environment or the people. 252 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 3: That's probably the best because one of the biggest problems 253 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 3: is the environment you're in or the people you're hanging 254 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: around with. That's probably the main key fact that that's 255 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: why you keep. 256 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: Going back and you keep doing it. 257 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe changing surroundings yeah, yeah. 258 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 2: And everything else. You can work it out yourself. What 259 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 2: are you? 260 00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 5: What do you enjoy someone that's struggling with with drugs 261 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 5: and alcohol? Yeah, I think I think you've just got 262 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 5: to really tell yourself. I think Spaniards said it before. 263 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 5: He said it perfectly. He actually got to look in 264 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 5: the mirror one day and pretty much tell yourself to 265 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 5: be disgusted. You gotta be disgusted. I think that could 266 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 5: be a big motivator, especially especially for men. You actually 267 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 5: have to realize that you won't stop it until Yeah. 268 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 5: And like I think, I think for us, especially because 269 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 5: we hang around boys with high standards, it's another key thing, 270 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 5: Ronnie brang up. You hang around boys with high standards, 271 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 5: and if you see people making hitting their goals and everything, 272 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 5: and you're still on drugs, like you gotta wake up 273 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 5: to yourself one day and actually tell yourself, come on, yeah, 274 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 5: and like we've all done some embarrassing stuff of drugs, 275 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 5: but you don't realize it. You think you're normal, but 276 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 5: you won't realize it until you sober. You know, you're 277 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 5: just gonna keep telling yourself normal. But the fact is, 278 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 5: your your mind changes Once you lose control of your mind, 279 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 5: a lot of bad stuff can happen. 280 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: And you scum like you know, you know that it's 281 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: it's good that the person that asks the question admits 282 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: that he's struggling with it. I think that that's where 283 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: it starts. You like a lot, there is why a 284 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: lot of people can't stop because they haven't admitted yet 285 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: to themselves that it's a problem. And I very much 286 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: agree with these guys. It's the people you surround yourself with. 287 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 2: If you if your if your circle is always slapping 288 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 2: at the Pokeys every weekend, one of those weekends, you're 289 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: gonna be holding the machine for him. Trust me, you're 290 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: gonna be reserving it for him. And I know this 291 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: from experience. You just gotta you gotta stop. You gotta 292 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: stop hanging around those people that hang around people with 293 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: a million dollar mindset. When I say that, I'm not 294 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 2: saying hang around millionaires. I'm not saying hang around people 295 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 2: with big statuses. Hang around people that are always looking 296 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 2: to improve themselves to be someone better. They don't necessarily 297 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: have to have a big bank or big status. Just 298 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: that person that's always looking to push himself, you know, 299 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: push himself to the limits.

They just repeat themselves, and they were 394 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 2: shouting over each other and dancing dancing between them, And 395 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, is this what my missus sees when 396 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: like I bring the boys?

Lad. And another interesting thing 403 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: you touched up on, which is a whole other topic, 404 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,479 Speaker 2: is I think that being able to listen to your 405 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: missus is probably something that's so it's it's profound, but 406 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 2: not a lot of people talk about it because in 407 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 2: this day and age, everyone is talking about the man 408 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: is the man of the house. We direct, we make decisions. 409 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 2: But from my experience, the decisions I've made, I couldn't 410 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 2: have made them without the advice or without the without 411 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 2: the you know, the help for my missus. Why Because 412 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: girls they see things through a different lens that we 413 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: can't see. You know, she can see intentions of other 414 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,160 Speaker 2: boys that we can't see because we're boys, right, we're boys. 415 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: We see other boys. It's one of the oil bays, 416 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 2: you know. But the missus, she because she's a girl, 417 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 2: she can see things through a lens that we can't. 418 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: She can see evil intentions behind. So really take into 419 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: account what she says because sometimes lads sometimes sometimes that 420 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: they know things lad and at the end of the day, 421 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: they're just trying to coming from a good place, like 422 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: they want to help you.

You're getting married because you want someone. 424 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 2: You're admitting to yourself that this is my other half. 425 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 2: She's going to help me. I'm going to help her. 426 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 2: We're going to help each other make decisions for both 427 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: of our future. 428 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: That's it. 429 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 6: She's like, she's like a proof check man authentication. 430 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 2: That's it. 431 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: That's mad.

Before we start 505 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 5: got into business, we had to learn those tactics on 506 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 5: the streets as well, so it was very big. So 507 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 5: for us to step out of everything shows that one 508 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 5: hundred percent committed, you know where, we're here for change. 509 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: We're not going to be perfect along the way. 510 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 5: Like I said on the last podcast, I still I 511 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 5: still have problems with anger issues every now and then 512 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 5: sometimes I'll blow up and I just want to like, 513 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 5: you know, I just want to get back to my 514 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 5: old self. I feel like we're gonna we're gonna go 515 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 5: through that a lot, especially now the devil, the devil 516 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 5: ones that's out of you, Yeah, because. 517 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 2: That's the devil tactics. Then to make us feel like 518 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: we're not we're not good enough to be able to 519 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 2: speak our truths. But I know better than that, lad, 520 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: I know that we're all human. Everyone makes mistakes. But 521 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 2: if we're able to shed some light and someone out 522 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: there can resonate and be like, bro, these guys are 523 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 2: like me, you know, and like I can strive to 524 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: be better like them if they're doing it, you know, yea, 525 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: So it comes like, yeah, exactly like you said, We're 526 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 2: just human. So in case anything does happen in the future, 527 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: and you know, everyone's like, bro, I thought you had changed. 528 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,719 Speaker 2: I'm still working in progress. No one used to make 529 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: memes of me, you know. But yeah, another good question 530 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 2: that actually follows into that someone asked what made made 531 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: you change into a church boy? 532 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 6: That that question is a old assumption. 533 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: That's a bold accusation, not. 534 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: That it's. 535 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 5: The reason why I said it as a bold assumption, 536 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 5: because first of all, I don't think any of us 537 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 5: do you go to church? 538 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 2: So in the last ten probably like if being a 539 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: church boy is going to church like every week, NonStop, 540 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 2: then none of us are church boys. Like I've missed 541 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: church so many times. Lad, I've missed the church. But 542 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: if calling me a church boys because I'm speaking life, 543 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: I don't know that it doesn't work. Why the Christian 544 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: is confusing a bit. I'll show you why I've got. 545 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: I've got a lot of very very very honorable Muslim mates. Right, 546 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: They're really close to me, and when they practice their 547 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 2: prayers or their daily religious dialect like their sam they're 548 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 2: actually respected in the community for it. No one calls 549 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 2: them mosque boy. No one laughs at them. They respect them. 550 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: But I speak to a fellow Christian and like he's 551 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 2: talking and I just say, amen, lad, or praise God. Lad. Lad. 552 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 2: We need to bring that that Christian masculinity back where 553 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 2: you know, people are not afraid to wear your faith 554 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: on your sleeve. Lad. This is a good thing. Lad, 555 00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: it's a good thing. Lad. 556 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 6: Something that's positive doesn't make sense. 557 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 5: But I guess we're going to cop that a lot 558 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 5: from everyone because he came from criminal background, but. 559 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: He's fair enough, fair enough. 560 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: I wasn't. 561 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 5: I wasn't ever religious until our juvenile So when I 562 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 5: went to jail, that's when I actually learned about the Bible. 563 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 5: Maybe one more question or one more question and then 564 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 5: we'll end up. Sorry, guys were with me and I 565 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 5: were actually running late. He told his barber that he's content, 566 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 5: and the guy was holding us podcast what is not? 567 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: What is hostage? 568 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: But you know now that the broads back on will 569 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: be jumping on regularly. 570 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: The last question after leaving the scene, what do you 571 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 2: guys think about other rappers still indulging in the in 572 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: the rap scene? 573 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: Shoot for the stars. 574 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 5: Man, I've got nothing against anyone that's in the music 575 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 5: industry shoot for the stars.
