You Hit A Monk? Bro, That’s A Flag On Humanity

Noadvisory Podcast Season 8 Episode 4

Send us a text

A peace walk through winter, a secret siphoning of $150, and a freestyle that lights the room this one swings from wild to wise without losing the thread. We start by unpacking the Buddhist monks’ 2,000-mile Walk of Peace, the discipline behind it, and how to show respect when they pass through your city. That lens of presence and etiquette sets up a sharper look at a viral ICE confrontation in California and what happens when neighbors, cameras, and authority collide.

Then we get personal. A messy money reveal $150 a month moving to an ex without consent opens a raw talk about boundaries, shared accounts, and what “our money” really means. From there, Lex’s Triggered segment goes deep on vulnerability and intimacy: why exposure activates fear, how closeness can feel unsafe, and the nervous system signals we tend to ignore. We trade quick fixes for regulated exposure, name what our bodies expect when closeness shows up, and practice simple moves that make staying possible.

The energy flips with Words of the Week wanton, Dionysian, languid, sempiternal because better language makes better choices. Then DMV artist Maurice Lydell slides through to chart his evolution from bar-heavy purist to anthem builder. We talk touring where the love is, learning from 50 and Missy without losing your voice, handling writer’s block by living more, and building a street-luxe brand around a single, powerful word: No. He closes with grounded advice to creators work without guarantees, expect losses before wins, and walk into every room like you belong before we tee up his single GMFB and a live bar session that brings the house up.

If you felt this mix of real talk and raw energy, follow the show, share with a friend, and drop a review with your favorite moment. Your turn: what’s one step you’ll take toward peace or boundaries this week?

Yeah, yeah, that was that was that was ignorant. That was ignorant.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay, you said it right.

SPEAKER_02:

Ignant it. Ignant. Very small. So if you don't know, the monks are a group of Buddhists who are spreading messages of peace, mindfulness, and good energy wherever they go. And this tour is called a walk of peace. It is over 2,000 miles walking on barefoot from four. Not barefoot. They got sneakers and shit.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, they definitely have shoes on the show. Some of them did. Not barefoot. You know, on their foot for a while.

SPEAKER_17:

No type of coats, no toboggans. It's walking. It's cold.

SPEAKER_04:

It is cold in Charlotte.

SPEAKER_17:

It's cold right now. It's very, very, very cold. Where do they sleep? Or do they just walk through the night?

SPEAKER_05:

They're sleeping at different rest stops and locations. So tonight they're sleeping at the um dragway and Concord.

SPEAKER_17:

And they lay they they lay their togas or whatever down on the floor and they lay on top of it, or they got like.

SPEAKER_03:

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

I haven't seen the lodging area. I haven't seen the lodging area.

SPEAKER_17:

I'm trying to like, because they they're the type to do that. They'd lay on the concrete and be like, the Lord told me to do it.

SPEAKER_02:

But anyways, they walk from Texas and they're going all the way to Washington, D.C. Capital. And they have been walking since October 26th of 2022. Damn. They have to my birthday.

SPEAKER_08:

I want to know, like, where are they walking to in Washington? Are they going to the White House? Are they going to the like where are they going? To the monument.

SPEAKER_14:

It ain't safe nowhere. It don't really matter.

SPEAKER_08:

And they live in Texas. Because they're going to hit Washington.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm not sure where these specific monks live. They're probably going to stop at the White House.

SPEAKER_08:

It makes no sense that they all just walk over. And they walk back. No, they don't walk back. They don't walk back. It's not around. They got private jets and shit. Salute to them though. Salute to them for the discipline.

SPEAKER_17:

Salute to them for the discipline.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_05:

I did not know that.

SPEAKER_17:

And whoever did that, whoever did that. You going to hell. Fuck jail. You going to hell. You hit a monk. I mean, don't let me know.

SPEAKER_07:

What type of fucked up person is that?

SPEAKER_02:

Ain't his leg to be going, that nigga had to be speeding.

SPEAKER_03:

Ain't no way. And monk speeding. The way they have it set up is like there's so many of the ambulance and cops and stuff in between them. So how did you even get through all of that?

SPEAKER_17:

That's what I'm saying. You had to run over that nigga then back up reverse. You took his whole leg.

SPEAKER_03:

Yo.

SPEAKER_07:

You hit a monk.

SPEAKER_03:

You hit a monk. Yeah. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_07:

SPEAKER_07:

It's like you hit a bump, you hit a monk.

SPEAKER_03:

You hit a bump.

SPEAKER_07:

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, monk.

SPEAKER_02:

Yo, they're gonna clown us. Anyways, when you see when you see them in your city, because they will be actually there in Charlotte now. In Charlotte now, and they will be smoking. You know, traveling, they're not smoking. They'll be traveling through the rest of North Carolina to Virginia to Maryland and then they're gonna stop in DC. So when you see them, show respect and keep your voice down, especially if they're meditating or walking silently. If you want to join the walk, walk behind them or do not walk behind them, do not walk in front of them or beside them. And the dog aloka is very friendly. But if you are approaching the dog.

SPEAKER_08:

Shout out to the dog. And listen, stop going to the grocery stores and buying waters and fruit. They don't want that shit. Stop that shit. Y'all look stupid. I put the monks' food in there and they try to give it to them, and then y'all get upset when they take it. They want that shit.

SPEAKER_17:

Give them some za. Give them za.

SPEAKER_05:

So they say, like, if you give them food to give them like vegetarian food because you know they not eating no like meats or anything. I haven't been seeing them taking too much. Give them the mushrooms and give them za. They haven't been taking black hair, the one in Concord, and someone had like a bunch of oranges, and like they were nice. They still gave out the blessed strings or whatever, but he didn't take the food.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, they don't want that shit.

SPEAKER_03:

They probably have uh so much to give them niggas some toboggans or something.

SPEAKER_08:

Give them something that stay warm.

SPEAKER_03:

They have what they need. Leave them people alone.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, please leave them alone.

SPEAKER_08:

And you rappers, please don't give them niggas no CDs. They don't want none of that shit. That's funny.

SPEAKER_05:

Did y'all know that post where that was like they went to stats? Yeah, I've seen it. I like Cuzzos did one too. I was like, Cuzzles, he did one.

SPEAKER_02:

He was like, oh, they came to Cozzos, Michelle kinda cousins.

SPEAKER_08:

They did an AI version of the movie, right?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. But this walk reminds us that peace isn't just a moto. It's a practice you take one step at a time. So if you could take one step every day towards peace, like the monks are doing literally with their walk, what would their step look like in your life?

SPEAKER_17:

CEO, I think we should start the new Million Man March. Million Man March? We should do the new one. No, we gotta do the Million Nigger March. I can't do that.

SPEAKER_04:

No, I can't I can't. I can't, yeah. I can't.

SPEAKER_17:

Yeah, but you gotta niggas gonna see their eyes. It's gonna get tricky.

SPEAKER_08:

Niggas ain't gonna be walking, they're gonna be stepping positive, positive words with the niggas. Nah, they've been they've been trying to do that. I ain't trying to walk with no niggas.

SPEAKER_06:

I'm trying to walk with nice is getting uh.

SPEAKER_17:

Let it go. Just let it go. Just let it go.

SPEAKER_05:

Ain't no way we can do that.

SPEAKER_17:

I tried, y'all.

SPEAKER_05:

Back then we ain't gonna be able to do it. No problem. So, yeah.

SPEAKER_17:

Before the show's open, figure that shit out.

SPEAKER_05:

Definitely. Yeah. It has to just be an individual thing right now for everybody. So for me, I feel like um the things that I'm gonna be doing to find peace is just like you know, I know myself now, so it's just like I'm just staying in that. Where it's just like people can't get me outside of that. This is who I am, I know who I am, and no matter what anyone else does, it can't like sway me on any one side, if that makes sense. Because people will try to come in, because then now it's like, oh, you're doing good, you're in a new state, oh my god, like I'm coming to visit. I know the hell you ain't staying on the fuck you at. You can call me, we can chat on the phone, you know what I mean? But it's just there's boundaries now, like if that makes sense, and it's just to protect my peace. Right. Perfect answer.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_05:

I'm just gonna mind, I'ma mind my business.

SPEAKER_04:

I am going to pretend like nothing is going on.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, yeah, when he said that.

SPEAKER_05:

With the Lou Baton and the It sent me. Because I was like, boy, let me tell you. And he wasn't really making fun of God or poking fun at God. He was doing like the super churches or the supermax church. I call them the supermax churches because they got y'all locked up in there.

SPEAKER_05:

You legit have to fill out an application nowadays to go to them churches. And I just don't know who's doing it. You gotta be there for at least like two services.

SPEAKER_02:

Two Sundays on a service to actually volunteer into someone's church.

SPEAKER_04:

Ain't no way.

SPEAKER_02:

You can't just be like, oh, go in and be like, oh, I want to join your church. Oh, this is my church. No, they want you to physically be there like two Sundays, two, three Sundays, and then they be like, oh, you've been here for a while, okay. You can sign up.

SPEAKER_08:

I mean, listen, man, I I don't even know why people are getting mad because he just pretty much mocked what is going on on social media from all these preachers. So how you gonna get mad at him for making light and making because he's a comedian, he does funny shit. So how you gonna get mad at a comedian making funny shit is real life shit? You can't get mad at a nigga.

SPEAKER_02:

At all.

unknown:

At all.

SPEAKER_08:

I don't understand why niggas get mad at a community.

SPEAKER_02:

At all church person seen all that, they do that 24-7 in the church.

SPEAKER_08:

Like I went through a church. Go ahead, Jazz.

SPEAKER_05:

I was just gonna say I respect comedians who um, you know, bring the truth to light, like Dave Chappelle, and I know he's very controversial. I love it, but that man knows what the fuck he's talking about, okay? So if he put it out there and you were offended in any way, yeah, it was some truth in that. And those are the best storytellers. So Drewski really told a story in a s in his, you know, the way he let it out.

SPEAKER_08:

So it's just like from even down to the wardrobe.

SPEAKER_14:

Yeah, I know for real.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_02:

Somebody was like, oh, you could play, but don't play with the church of Christ. But y'all play in the church of Christ literally every day. Every day. Every Sunday.

SPEAKER_08:

Like I went to one church one time. And I listen, if you go to church, I am not knocking for going to church. Go to church. You know, praise God. Do what you do. But this was the last jaw for me. I went to this one church, and it's not even a super trade, which is a regular church. The last jaw for me. Last jaw for me. So I talk fast, guys. You know, I mean, I gotta catch it. So I went to church. Yo, long story short, they brought the bucket around like six times.

SPEAKER_06:

I'm like, yo, bro, I ain't crazy like six times. The bucket. Like it's not even a basket anymore. It's a bucket. I'm like, yo, no, that's crazy, right? It used to be a plate. It used to be a plate. It used to be a plate. It's a whole bucket now. Now it's a bucket. It's a plate bucket.

SPEAKER_18:

True said, um, period. True, sinister.

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_05:

Period. Do y'all, I mean, if for those of y'all who go to church, because you know, I ain't been in a minute, um, do y'all actually put something in the in the church? I do. When I go, I do, but that was just too much that time.

SPEAKER_06:

I didn't, I only had like five hours. No, it's crazy.

SPEAKER_17:

It'd be so like the gaps in between when I go to church be so long, I forget to grab bread before I go. Like, I like I don't be thinking about the collection plate when I leave walk out the house going to church. Right. Then you look frowned upon by your neighbors if you don't give no money.

SPEAKER_05:

I don't look at you like they ain't give no time. I don't give no time. They take cash app in this motherfucker. They even got cash app.

SPEAKER_13:

SPEAKER_02:

The church uh on Pineville, called Nakayo, they got Cash App, Apple Pay, Sale, they got all that. So you ain't if you ain't got anything cash.

SPEAKER_03:

Last church I've been to, they still passing around the bowl. Passing around. Or you know it's like it's like they come to the end of the aisle and you go out.

SPEAKER_08:

Yes, traditional, yes. I like that. What church is that? Give me a shout. Yeah, yeah. First cathedral. First cathedral. If y'all still doing that, kudos to y'all.

SPEAKER_05:

Church um for us back home, but there was Greater St. Paul, and that was like a home church that I went to. Like I learned double dutch, that's where I got baptized.

SPEAKER_08:

That was a Connecticut, right? Connecticut.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm from Hartford. Shout out to Hartford. I gotta say, shout out to y'all and every shout 50 cents. You from Humberford, Connecticut? No, bitch. He was living in Harley Paul, Connecticut.

SPEAKER_07:

What was that?

SPEAKER_04:

Connecticut.

SPEAKER_05:

I remember the video, the movie. Get Richard God Trying. He's like nothing about Connecticut.

SPEAKER_02:

Outside Jamaica. I got a couple minutes left. So let's get into this ICE agents. They tried to detain a landslide, two landscapers, but walked away when witnesses appeared. So on January 10th, in Downey, California, around Bonaire Street and Rison Avenue, ICE agents confronted two landscapes who were on the job, and there is a video surface online showing the agents trying to grab and detain those workers and force them in their SUV without asking for proof of paper stating they're a U.S. citizen. An agent also is shown pointing at gas canisters at bystanders who were filming, and more neighbors began coming outside and recording. The agents released the landscapers and left the scene. It was given kidnapping.

SPEAKER_05:

It was definitely giving kidnapping.

SPEAKER_02:

That's not gonna say nothing.

SPEAKER_05:

I mean, cuz, man, I I I just I just feel like let them folks do their job. And if you are a legal citizen and you have the documents to prove that you're a legal citizen, they gonna like prove it and go on about your business. But let them folks do their job. What happened was let me tell y'all what happened. On a state level, so uh iCE agents are federal, federal officials, but on a state level, the state police was not policing their citizens. So they were allowing people to do whatever they want and harass ice agents, throw rocks at ICE agents, shoot weapons at iCE agents, block traffic, and all this, that, and the third. And what we're forgetting is these are people like real human beings that are also these ICE agents. I'm going home to my family. Y'all aren't going to stop me from doing my job, put my life in jeopardy, and I not defend myself. So my whole thing is don't give them a reason to defend themselves. Let them do their job, and if they're wrong, sue them.

SPEAKER_02:

But suing don't help all the time. My thing is I want to know why I did one situation and then a tragedy, knowing back to Minneapolis shooting from when she got shot, and all she was asked to was to get out of her car because she was parked in the street, and she left being dead. And these two men were resisting, and they walked away alive.

SPEAKER_08:

Different strokes with different folks.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, wait, wait.

SPEAKER_08:

I know Bella, you was about to say something.

SPEAKER_18:

Okay, true said protesters broke in their cars, got papers and files, images right now being exposed on TikTok.

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_18:

Yeah, broke into their ice agents.

SPEAKER_08:

Broke into the ice agent car and found all those documents and shit like that. Yeah. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_05:

I don't know what the intent of these guys when they wake up talking about the bad ice agents and they fuck it up for everybody. You know how to be that one person that fuck it up for everybody. Yep.

That's how we're gonna lay that out.

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_08:

So the guy approached and was like, yo, and mind you, this is this exchange was going on over the phone. So she was like, Yeah, that was for my baby daddy. He ain't got no people out here. He, you know, he fucked up. So he had to eat. So I had to make sure the nigga eat.

So, you know, and that's what happened. So they was going on the phone back and forth.

SPEAKER_05:

If you know me, you know, I say on a daily.

SPEAKER_07:

That's a real story.

SPEAKER_05:

I say, I say on a daily basis, I couldn't be a nigga in these streets. I couldn't deal with the shit that y'all deal with on a daily basis. I could not be a nigga in these streets. I would probably be a woman beater. I and that's just real shit, because like, ain't no, ain't, ain't no way. Allegedly, right. Ain't no way I can just sit there and have somebody in my home with their children. You're taking money to give to the man that you created these bastards with, and you gonna tell me to mind my I'm flipping shit. I cannot, I cannot. I just can't, I can't fathom reacting calmly to that.

SPEAKER_08:

She told a nigga to mind his business, and she like, yo, what like is it's none of your business. What are you probing me for? Yada yada yada. We're going to civil court. And then she said, and then she said, This is our money.

SPEAKER_15:

We're going to civil court.

SPEAKER_03:

You ain't no kids to go live with that nigga. We going to civil court.

SPEAKER_08:

No, he did say get the fuck out. And the folks like get the fuck out. And he hung up and she was talking, all that rabbi shit. She's like, Hello? Hello?

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, you gotta go. Not going there.

SPEAKER_08:

So yeah, that's what would you do? So, what would you do again if you your significant other was taking$150 out your uh your account every month, and you approach them and say, Yo, why is it coming up? And they say, Mind your fucking business. And they was giving it to the baby father or flip side to the baby mother. What would you do? Bang.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_08:

Okay, I'll be going through it. You said it was easy, Low. So what the fuck would you do?

unknown:

It's your house, right?

SPEAKER_08:

SPEAKER_05:

You can't do that, Molo. They got they got squatter rights, they got squatter rights, so he gotta give them a notice. Yeah, yeah. They've been staying in one of thirty days. He might not know that. She might not know that. You might not know that. You're right.

unknown:

They're about to give that one.

SPEAKER_07:

I'm guessing she don't know that.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, yeah. I I'm definitely going to get my statements and see how many times she gave this nigga 150. And if I can't claim them goddamn kids on my taxes, I'm suing her ass.

SPEAKER_08:

Oh, that's nasty work if you really can't.

SPEAKER_05:

She gives it all that money back. Bitch, join account. What?

SPEAKER_03:

I'm taking your money and we're closing this account. That's it. Join shit.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, yeah. I'll definitely, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Right. It's just because it's her money and she, you know, she's doing boy. I couldn't be a nigga in this society. Boy, I can't. It's just hard out here for y'all. God damn. I'll pay taxes on tampons any day. Hey, yo. Yo, so y'all already know it's triggered. Um I'm about to get into the nitty-gritty. Last week we spoke about vulnerability. Uh, this week I'm gonna be touching base on intimacy a little bit more. So if you've missed the last two episodes, let me just do a little recap. In January, we're gonna be talking about intimacy, not romance, not just sex, but the kind of closeness that actually scares people. We're gonna be breaking down vulnerability, exploring why it feels unsafe and where fear originates from. And also, this month is not about fixing yourself. It's about understanding why closeness can feel comforting and terrifying at the same time. You ain't hear that last time I said it, Bolo. Or are you talking about the game? He's definitely talking about the game. I'm listening though. I'm multi-tasting, girl. Never gonna be shit.

SPEAKER_17:

I'm multi-tasting, yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Never gonna be shit.

SPEAKER_17:

I'm talking about I appreciate you.

SPEAKER_05:

I appreciate you. You know, I be indulged. What are we talking about on? You hear me? So last week I kind of talked about vulnerability, and just a recap: vulnerability opens the door for intimacy, um, and it pretty much equals exposure. Intimacy equals closeness over time, but vulnerability triggers fear, and intimacy triggers attachment. So it it kind of like when you're intimate with Someone you want to be close to that person, but when you're vulnerable with someone, you're thinking about past fear that you experience with that person or past experience. So you're kind of taking those experiences into consideration when you're being vulnerable with that person. For fear, when it comes to intimacy, you have fear of intimacy because you have fear of being close to someone. When it comes to vulnerability, you have fear of the same experiences happening again. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_08:

Shit.

SPEAKER_05:

Niggas. Niggas. Right. Okay, so we're going over here like that. I got you. I got you.

SPEAKER_02:

I love passing out.

SPEAKER_05:

Vulnerability. Back up, Swish.

SPEAKER_07:

Alright, no.

SPEAKER_05:

You ain't drinking it.

SPEAKER_08:

You better start drinking. We drinking. Hey, last time you come, we're gonna give you some of that punch on us.

SPEAKER_05:

Vulnerability opens the door, and intimacy asks you to stay. So vulnerability equals exposure. But intimacy equals closeness over time. So when it comes to fear, intimacy triggers attachment. So pretty much why you stay. And vulnerability triggers fear because you're a fear, your fear is of your past experiences. Remember last week when I said if you experience something within a relationship moving forward, if something pops up that's similar to that past experience, you're gonna be thinking about damn, the last time this happened, X, Y, and Z happened. So I don't want that to happen again. So let me either avoid this situation or let me try to do something different. That's vulnerability. People do not want to be vulnerable with other people because they fear of what consequences that have happened in the past occurring again. Absolutely. Me. Okay. I got y'all. I got y'all. So psychol psych psychologically, I said psychology. Psychologically, intimacy activates memory, but not logical memory, emotional memory. Like I mentioned earlier, it asks you, are you good? Are you safe? And this is something that your brain does without you thinking about it. Same thing with vulnerability is something that is a chemical thing, and it's not something that you're proactively aware of. So what actually gets people triggered when it comes to intimacy? Intimacy is something that does not create fear, it reveals fear. What I mean by that is attachment wounds are stored in the nervous system, like I mentioned last week, with vulnerability, and they are not conscious thoughts, they're your natural body's reactions. So, with that being said, intimacy increases the body's reactions before the mind explains it. So it's kind of like the flight or flight thing. Sometimes it's fight, flight, or or stay and get stuck. To where you you can't do anything, you have no reaction at all. This reaction is often misread as something that's wrong when it's actually something that feels familiar. If you don't know how to react to certain situations, you're not going to have the reaction that people would deem as appropriate. For example, if you're somebody that in the past, because you know I like to talk about childhood trauma and all that shit, it always starts there. If you're someone in the past that you weren't able to express yourself, or you weren't able to speak about your emotions, you're gonna associate that with punishment or uh something that's bad or negative. You're gonna associate it with danger because when I cried in the past, I got in trouble and I was sent to my room. I was secluded away from everybody else, I was put on time out for my behavior and me reacting on emotion. So intimacy is the the feeling safe feeling emotionally safe over time. And in order for a person to be intimate with someone, they have to feel safe with that person. You you can't be intimate with someone that makes you feel unsafe or reminds you of past trauma.

SPEAKER_17:

So I ain't never been able to fuck when I thought a bitch was about to backdoor me. That's a fact.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I know. I don't understand how people can get comfortable. Yeah. What's it happening, bro? No, fuck no. Children don't learn intimacy. They don't learn it from like you talking in conversations from intimacy. They children learn about intimacy through different patterns. Like if if your parents were inconsistent, they were conditional, like you can you can go see your friend if you clean the whole house. Or if they were like emotionally unsafe where as soon as something happened, they were snapping, or they come home from work and they're taking their work problems out on the children. The brain learns to associate intimacy with uncertainty based on those experiences. And if you're a parent and you have children, nine times out of ten, you're not thinking about this when you're walking around and socializing with your children. You're just trying to get through life. I always associate life with like a GTA game. Everybody got their own fucking missions going on. You're not really worried about what everybody else is doing, you focused on finishing your mission. So as adults, uh stable closeness can feel unfamiliar because of the lack of intimacy as a child, and unfamiliar does not register as safe to the nervous system. So if you're not familiar with uh intimate behavior, like if your parents weren't close with you and gave you that freedom to express that when you were a child, if it happens when you're an adult, you're not going to associate that with being safe. You're gonna associate it with something that is unsafe and something that you do not want to experience. And it's something that is learned behavior, similar to racism and all the rest of the things that people learn over time. It's not instilled in you, you learn how to react to certain emotions and behaviors, right? So in adulthood, I mentioned that this shows up as confusion around closeness, but sometimes you get emotionally unavailable people where it shows up as distancing yourself, or it shows up as being super independent, to where you don't need anybody for anything because you don't want anybody to get close to you and um either find out too much about you or have too much access to you. Psychologically, it's that part, honey.

SPEAKER_03:

It's that part, it's okay.

SPEAKER_16:

That's every week.

SPEAKER_05:

That is every week, twin. Find out every week. It's okay. Hey, I'm telling you, so much to think about. She changed lives.

SPEAKER_17:

They trying to bite their lips, she changed lives, man. That's what she does. She touched toes, change lives. That's what she does.

SPEAKER_05:

You feel me? It's just like you could hit, but but it's because it's so just zoned out to what you're saying, and it's relatable.

SPEAKER_03:

It's having you think you're feeling the shit, like for real. That's my goal.

SPEAKER_17:

I feel like I feel like I'd be getting a back massage when you talk.

SPEAKER_05:

Oh, I appreciate that, twin. I appreciate that. I ain't gonna lie. I want to be a massage with my stuff. Yeah, yeah, I want to be a massage with a lot of things. But let it continue, let a trend. Right. I mentioned distance and and ultra-independence, but psychologically, this is not self-sabotaging, it's just your protective response. It's something that you learned at an early age, and it your brain chooses distance because distance means relief. Because, like I said, you learned that as a child. You get sent to your room, you get the opportunity to cuss your parents out behind a door and they can't do nothing about it. So even when we feel connected, what we really want is intimacy. We want to feel close with people, but we're distancing ourselves because as children, we were taught that if you're experiencing something, you go to your room. Or or go to timeout, or go stand in a corner. We all had different experiences. Social media, you love I love to bring this shit up. So social media compliment uh complicates intimacy because it offers emotional exposure without emotional risk. So you can be seen without being known, heard without being held accountable. You can tell people whatever you want to tell people, and they can either believe it or they don't believe it, and you block them. Okay from a psychological standpoint. This reinforce reinforces avoidance, it awards expression without regulation of your emotion. So, what that means is getting the feeling out without regulating or understanding why you're experiencing that emotion. There's no accountability on the internet. That's your favorite word, fam.

SPEAKER_17:

These bitches don't take it.

SPEAKER_05:

No accountability on the internet.

SPEAKER_17:

For women, they don't take it.

SPEAKER_05:

Public vulnerability feels safer than private intimacy. It's a lot easier to be uh vulnerable on the internet because rejection online is impersonal. So it's not something that once you turn that phone off or you turn that live off, you're not gonna be experiencing it. You might be somebody that replays different situations over in your head, but nine times out of ten, you're gonna let it go because rejection in real life is not the same thing. Rejection in real life is something that you can't walk away from. And if you do walk away from it, like I said, you're probably the type of person that'd be thinking about it over and over again. So it's easier to be vulnerable on the internet because there's nobody holding you accountable for your emotions or explaining why you're experiencing those emotions. If you're being intimate with someone in person, you're gonna be held responsible for those emotions. So intimacy asks you to stay present, vulnerability asks you to tolerate uncertainty. So psychologically, growth happens when the nervous system learns that closeness does not equal danger. That lesson cannot be learned through avoidance, it can only be learned through regulated exposure. This is not forcing intimacy, it's about why fear shows up in the first place. Looking back at different things, or what do they call it, shadow work for a lot of people, looking back at different things and different scenarios in your past life and reflecting through journal or voice notes or wherever you use and talking yourself through different situations and figuring out why you feel a certain way or you associate fear with being intimate in certain situations. So if intimacy feels overwhelming, it does not mean that you are incapable of connection, it means your body has learned connection through fear. The brain can be updated, it learns something new every day, but only after a pattern is created. So last week I asked the question when I avoid opening up, what am I actually trying to protect myself from happening again? For me, answering that question, I'm trying to protect myself from retreating into my invisible shell. Because when I open up and I receive a negative reaction or a reaction that makes me feel uncomfortable, it makes me not want to open up. It makes me feel like I can't say what I want to say without someone having something negative to say in response. And this in part comes from I come from one of those families that every time you say something, somebody got a joke. Everybody got something to say about everything, everybody's invested in everybody's lives, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but in return, as an adult, I don't like being intimate because I don't like hearing what people gotta say. No shade. So this week's question that I have for everybody is when closeness starts to feel uncomfortable, what does my body expect to happen next? How does your body react to you feeling uncomfortable by being close or experiencing closeness with other people?

SPEAKER_08:

I'm gonna play a ludacris song.

unknown:

Get back, move, get back.

SPEAKER_17:

You say, how do your body feel when you're uncomfortable? When you're uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_05:

When you're uncomfortable, how does your body feel?

SPEAKER_17:

I gotta take a shit. I gotta fart.

SPEAKER_05:

For real, your stomach starts hurting.

SPEAKER_17:

Quiet fires.

SPEAKER_05:

I get real tense.

SPEAKER_17:

Yeah, deadly shit.

SPEAKER_05:

You smell it? I know what you're doing. They stomach start hurting. I get headaches. I get real tense. My temples start to hurt. And they start they start to do the little flexy thing. My temples start to flex when I'm when I'm uncomfortable. Yeah, it's a it's a lot of physical signs when a person is uncomfortable. But if you can it, you if you can be aware of a physical sign when you're uncomfortable, like a warning sign, like yo, I'm about to feel uncomfortable. You can either remove yourself from the room and regather yourself, or you can do like I do. I'm very forthcoming with it. I'm I'm feeling uncomfortable, or I'm feeling overstimulated. I use that word a lot. I'm feeling overstimulated. I don't like this conversation. Can we talk about something else? I'm not I'm not ready for this conversation. And it's not hard and it's not bad to do that. Because you're holding yourself accountable, but you're also holding the people around you accountable. Because I think that everybody has to have some sort of emotional intelligence when it comes to communicating. And that's the only way that you're gonna create intimacy within your group of peers or your partner. I agree. Communication is key. And that's it, y'all. I'm gonna end this segment for this week with that. This is triggered with Lex rated.

SPEAKER_08:

I tell you that everybody in the days is listening. It's like, you know, actually therapy session. Yeah, absolutely. Like a 15-minute therapy session.

SPEAKER_05:

But yes, this is gonna be words of the week. You know, the segment where we spice up our vocabulary and make us the smartest at brunch. You guys ready for some big words? Yes.

SPEAKER_08:

We dress them up in soup.

SPEAKER_03:

You gotta get our special guest in order to dress them up in soup, you know? Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

You gotta let them spell one of the words. Spell one of the words. Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

All right, so the first word that we're gonna get into today is gonna be wanton. No, it's not wonton. It's spelled W-A-N-T-O-N, and it's an adjective. Ooh. It's an adjective, and it's pronounced one ton. I'm thinking like Don't you want, don't you uh know?

SPEAKER_08:

I'm thinking like restless or some shit.

SPEAKER_05:

Mmm, that's a good guess.

SPEAKER_17:

That's a good guess.

SPEAKER_05:

Good answer, good answer.

SPEAKER_17:

You find you find excuses to eat a lot. Find excuses to eat.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, I feel like it might have something to do with food. Um think so. I don't think about Chinese food. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't get like, oh, it's a wand, it's a won.

SPEAKER_06:

I'm thinking like a playful restless type type thing. Wanton.

SPEAKER_05:

I'm always cheating, so I just can't even take him seriously. He cheated. That's what it is. He's eating always over my shoulders.

SPEAKER_08:

But gotta listen to me a bit. No, no.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, it could be, yeah, it could be a state of being. So basically, it's it's derived from an old English word want, and that's meaning undisciplined, unrestraint, unchecked. So this is built from one, which means lacking, and then tauwen, which is trained or disciplined. So it's lacking discipline. What did you say, sleeves? Do you want to take a crack at it?

SPEAKER_01:

I didn't even lack discipline.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, lacking discipline is what I'm just saying. I mean, yes, yes. That was basically the old English word that's derived from yes, but it's trained or disciplined. Does anybody want to take a guess at what the actual meaning is?

SPEAKER_05:

No. No, she was saying what the two words, the root word and the and the y'all, y'all ain't there, right? Y'all ain't pay attention. You gotta listen, you gotta get into the listen. Listen, Linda. It was close.

SPEAKER_02:

You're getting there. There you go.

SPEAKER_05:

Um, it's an adjective, it's a describing word. Yep. Reckless. I'm that's my guess. It's somebody that's reckless and uncontrollable. Okay. Yes, it's definitely somewhere in that realm. Um, it's basically meaning playfully reckless.

SPEAKER_06:

Oh, okay. I never did a goddamn motherfucker right on the head. You a cheater. Teasingly reckless.

SPEAKER_17:

I didn't hear you say that. You said that?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes, nigga. See, I was giving you the answer. He said reckless because that's what he saw on my um.

SPEAKER_05:

But it's basically um playfully reckless, teasingly unrestraint, indulgent in desire or pleasure. So if I was to use this in a sentence, I would say there was something wanton in the way she held his gaze. Slow, unapologetic.

SPEAKER_03:

Like she had already decided how the night ends. And I'm gonna laugh and pause because I keep telling y'all, it's been a minute, bitch. It's been almost six months. So when it gets to these like sultry little thoughts and stuff, my head be like, woo!

SPEAKER_05:

Going back to the flashbacks, okay? I think two favorites in Connecticut. I remember the Zname book missing. I'm I'm I done read them Zane books.

SPEAKER_04:

I know what's the book.

SPEAKER_03:

No, I ain't getting the moment, but I'm just saying, you funny as hell.

SPEAKER_07:

SPEAKER_01:

Wait, Dionysian. Dionysian.

SPEAKER_17:

SPEAKER_10:

SPEAKER_06:

D-I-A-M-D-S-I-S-H something.

SPEAKER_07:

Something like that.

SPEAKER_06:

Think Super Saiyan. Think Super Saiyan.

SPEAKER_17:

Dionysian.

SPEAKER_10:

Also like S-A, like I, like something like that.

SPEAKER_17:

Yep, yep. Dionishi.

SPEAKER_05:

So it's spelled D-I-O-N-Y-S-I-A-N.

SPEAKER_17:

It's not like a Pokemon.

SPEAKER_05:

Dionysian.

SPEAKER_17:

That's not like a female. That sounds like a female lying about her nationality.

SPEAKER_05:

D-I-O. I'm Dionysian.

SPEAKER_17:

What you is? I'm Dionysian.

SPEAKER_03:

And it's an adjective.

SPEAKER_17:

What is that?

SPEAKER_03:

And this word. Yeah, like I'm looking at the basically.

SPEAKER_17:

Look for it as hell, too. Like, you might be Dionysian.

SPEAKER_03:

You might be Dionysian. Well, I am Native American, but you know, I'm knit muck. Knitmunk. Not chipmunk, knit muck.

SPEAKER_17:

I heard that.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, my great grandfather was a chief of my tribe.

SPEAKER_17:

Shout out to it. Yes.

SPEAKER_03:

Um, it's derived from the Greek word. Period. I do. I do roll real fast. That's why you roll so roll the herb. Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

From Dionysus, which means the Greek god of wine. And he's comes from like ecstasy, pleasure, fertility, and ritual magic.

SPEAKER_08:

See, all y'all niggas gonna be using that word. You have flashes split up?

SPEAKER_05:

No.

SPEAKER_17:

Yeah, I've been using that word. But yeah. I need you. Got a lot of ecstasy flashbacks. I ain't gonna lie.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm crying.

SPEAKER_17:

This is my golden years. I ain't gonna lie. I was going crazy. Allegedly.

SPEAKER_03:

You already told us a little bit about it.

SPEAKER_17:

I allegedly. This is allegedly. How are you doing? Help me. Triple stacks. We at me. Okay. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_05:

So this word means wild, sensual, pleasure driven. So I would say the night turned Dionysian, bodies loose, rules forgotten, laughter loud, inhibitions on mute.

SPEAKER_08:

Two guys in Connecticut. I'm gonna say y'all out here to Charlotte. You turn it.

SPEAKER_05:

I love that. One week. I'ma forget the word. I love it. Six days in a wake up. Six days in a wake up.

SPEAKER_04:

Six days in a wake up.

SPEAKER_05:

This next word is going to be languid.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Languid. Is it an adjective as well? It's an adjective. And it's spelled L-A-N G-U-I-D. Languid. I already know you got to be like Language.

SPEAKER_08:

Languid. I guess it might be$20.

SPEAKER_03:

Does anybody want to take a guess? Okay.

SPEAKER_08:

Language.

SPEAKER_17:

Sounds like what? What's that?

SPEAKER_15:

Um, I feel like fluid is.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay. That kind of makes sense. Because like language, fluid, like that's when you're going with that. Like, oh, it's fluid. You might be fluid in this language.

SPEAKER_08:

Liz got a uh twin. We got twins.

SPEAKER_11:

I know this one folks. Who's that for?

SPEAKER_17:

It's merge. It's merge.

SPEAKER_11:

A nigga that fall out.

SPEAKER_03:

A nigga that fall out is languid.

unknown:

A nigga that fall out, yeah. That nigga languid, folks.

SPEAKER_03:

He languid? Oh.

unknown:

Yeah, that nigga languid.

SPEAKER_11:

Hey, hey, you want nigga? That nigga language before we can't get it. He languid. Oh, okay. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05:

I don't know. This word, this word was derived.

SPEAKER_03:

He had us believe in him for a second. He had us believe in him.

SPEAKER_10:

I'ma say, I'ma say like lazy.

SPEAKER_03:

Lazy.

SPEAKER_12:

That's my boy.

SPEAKER_03:

Lazy. He fall out. No, no. Oh. What do you mean by fall out? Lazy.

SPEAKER_17:

Oh my dead gray daddy grey.

SPEAKER_03:

What the hell?

SPEAKER_17:

He was linguistic.

SPEAKER_03:

He can't go to the studio. He fell out. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Okay.

SPEAKER_03:

So basically, this word is derived from the Latin word, which is languidous, meaning faint, slack, slow.

SPEAKER_05:

Lacking tension. And this also comes from a word languere, which is to be weak, to droop, or to lose vigor.

SPEAKER_16:

You smart.

SPEAKER_05:

Listen, he got a little ass hat, but he got a big ass brain.

SPEAKER_07:

What the fuck is heaven?

SPEAKER_17:

It is managed.

SPEAKER_15:

I don't know. Except I'm CEO.

SPEAKER_03:

See, I'm always going for like people that be honest. So I didn't even think you would be cheating, but you never know. You never know. But the real meaning to the word is slow, relaxed, or sensuous. So I'm using all like sexual things in this little thing.

SPEAKER_05:

But it's she stretched languid across the bed, skin warm, movement slow, and intentional. Like she knew anticipation was half the pleasure.

SPEAKER_04:

That nigga a little linguist. She read the little language.

SPEAKER_08:

He got the buddy passes. Tap in. He got the buddy passes for real.

SPEAKER_05:

No, he don't got no buddy passes.

SPEAKER_08:

Tap in.

SPEAKER_03:

He ain't got that poor no more.

SPEAKER_08:

He got the buddy passes. That shit's different now.

SPEAKER_03:

I believe it. I believe it.

SPEAKER_08:

Hey, but you know what?

SPEAKER_03:

I just got one more word for y'all today, okay? So this word is sem eternal. Semp eternal. That's a bitch that's ready to fuck.

SPEAKER_17:

I'm skipping straight to I know what that is.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, because she's a big thing. She's ready to bad. She's a simp? Simp eternal?

SPEAKER_17:

She's she's moist.

SPEAKER_05:

She's moist. I mean, turtle sounds like nocturn nocturnal. So it might be something about nighttime.

SPEAKER_17:

A turtle.

SPEAKER_05:

This one is basically a turtle.

SPEAKER_17:

That might be a pullback.

SPEAKER_03:

I couldn't find anything that it was derived from or anything. But I'm just gonna go right into it. The meaning is everlasting, eternal, in a poetic sense.

SPEAKER_05:

So it's often with a romantic or emotional weight. So I would say the way he touched her felt sepenternal, unhurried, deliberate, like he wasn't chasing a moment, but claiming something that will linger long after.

SPEAKER_08:

I'm like, yo, I'm like, yo, baby, I'm gonna give you that. That's what I'm here for. Eternal case.

SPEAKER_03:

We ain't even gonna rush this. We're not rushing these moments. We're gonna masculinate. What y'all do? Sympaternal. Simp eternal. Simpaternal. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05:

Absolutely. So yeah, that was words of the bunch, bitches. We gonna do it. Some big ass. Some big ass brains. You must have meet them.

SPEAKER_08:

So that was words of the week.

SPEAKER_17:

This was a gift, a gift.

SPEAKER_08:

Was it a birthday gift? Yeah, no, it was a Christmas gift. Got my kids' name. Okay, that's fine.

SPEAKER_03:

I ain't gonna say it's a difference because we're rappers, we gotta go hold like that to implement our voices. But when we're doing that, it's a difference. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_10:

Uh Fredericksburg.

SPEAKER_08:

Okay.

SPEAKER_05:

Here, I got family there. Shut your ass. Hold on, hold on down.

SPEAKER_08:

Let me tell you about Virginia. How far is Fredericksburg from Chesapeake?

SPEAKER_10:

It's like two hours. Two hours. That's more towards like Virginia Beach is like an hour and a half or so. So it's like Fredericksburg right in the middle. So like Fredericksburg is like 45 minutes from DC, like an hour from Richmond. An hour and a half. Okay. So it's like Richmond. But it's like it's like the last part of the HOV lane for like the DC area. So it's like real city. It's like the city. Once you get past Fredericksburg, it's like real rural and they start going down to Richmond, etc.

SPEAKER_08:

Okay, Fredericksburg. I don't hear too many people from Fredericksburg.

SPEAKER_06:

Tell us about Fredericksburg.

SPEAKER_14:

I mean it's Fredericksburg. Yeah, stop playing, stop playing. Stop playing. Fredericksburg.

SPEAKER_10:

It's just Virginia. I mean, it's you know, do you even know like the history of the city?

SPEAKER_03:

It's the DMV and generally is given like that was one of the first slaves. No, Virginia was the first settlement. Yeah, like the actual town, Fredericksburg, is given that.

SPEAKER_10:

Like the closest, like, okay, like so Chris Brown, he wouldn't tap a hand at that made that's like probably 40 minutes from where I'm from. So you got Petersburg, Richmond, everybody, Traceong's all them down that way, and then Virginia Beach the opposite way.

SPEAKER_18:

For yeah, UCLA just got a street in Portsmouth in Virginia. And the Ford County as fuck on the like on Rushmore, they're from Virginia. So let's get up.

SPEAKER_04:

Let's get it. But fuck them niggas. I want to be a geography.

SPEAKER_08:

Growing up in Frederick, bro. Like, how was it growing up there? Because I lived in Virginia and Chesapeake for a short stand. I hate to tell this fucking story because I fucking hate Virginia. Damn, nigga. What the fuck? I hate Virginia. And this is why. No, this is why I hate Virginia, right? Moved out from New York to Virginia, like against my will. Oh, that's why. That's why. Yeah, that's why. And I had New York shit. I'm going, dropping, you know, off. And then cop coming, like, you know, I'm fresh then, nigga. I don't know nothing, none, no rules. Oh. I'm like, I'm fresh out, nigga. I got my New York. I ain't got nothing here yet. Well, we're in the state of Virginia. Well, nigga, in the state of fuck you, nigga. I don't and he gave me a ticket. They will give you a ticket out there. You can't play with Virginia, please. You can't play with your plates off. Because they was fucking me up out there. They will get you with a ticket like this. So how was it growing up in Fredericksburg? I don't know nothing about Fredericksburg.

SPEAKER_10:

I mean, it was I mean, it was cool. I mean, I I travel quite a bit because I moved around a lot as a kid. Uh like my dad was in the military, so like I moved, like, I lived in Canada when I was one, I lived in Seattle when I was two. I was born in Georgia, so like I was all over, but I ended up in you know VA. But I mean it was it was cool. But I mean, I also got like a lot of family out here too, so I was like back and forth. So like I kind of got the best of both worlds. I got like that DC, New York Jersey, that whole wave, and then I still got you know the down south, you know, Jersey to South Carolina, etc.

SPEAKER_02:

So after shifting to Charlotte from you know DMV, what how would you like describe your sound and style when it comes to music?

SPEAKER_10:

It's like just like that. It's a little bit of like all the kind of the areas I just mentioned. Like I got the best of both. Like I can listen to Nas and I can turn around and listen to Boosie right after that. I can listen to Jeezy and then listen to Hove. It could be, you know, kind of both. So I think I think that kind of helped me too, as far as like my music ear, because I feel like when you only come from one spot, you only like used to that one type of sound. But I feel like because I was like given so many different sounds, like I can listen to Nipsey, I can listen, you know, to West Coast, Larry June, etc. And I can go down south or the Texas. I can go, you know, I can listen to pretty much anybody. So I think that definitely helps.

SPEAKER_04:

You ain't got to start a sound.

SPEAKER_10:

Nah.

SPEAKER_04:

He ain't supposed to. He's not from Charlotte, he's from the DMV. It's a whole different, it's a whole different world.

SPEAKER_14:

You know, I got definitely got Larry Charlie.

SPEAKER_08:

I mean, you know, we live here. We gotta we gotta say shout out to Charlotte. But nigga, I saw you in the park and you says fuck Charlotte, what it is. Fuck Charlotte.

SPEAKER_03:

Because he always posting about New Yorkians and shit, and I'm like, damn. Yeah, I mean, oh you did? Okay, well, either way, I'm like, damn, I'm from New York, but they're gonna be looking at me like you from New York because you with them. They be on the You with them niggas. I'm gonna be like, damn. That is the bro though. Bro's the wall.

SPEAKER_05:

When you go back home, what areas do you like to go to perform in? Where what areas in Virginia give you the most love or show you the most love?

SPEAKER_10:

I mean, believe it or not, like I've I haven't done a show in like VA in a few years. Like I haven't done a show in Virginia in a while, but I'd probably say like maybe three, four years. All my shows have been everywhere else. I mean not even really Charlotte either. I got a lot in like Atlanta, a lot in Jersey, New York, Philly, Florida, some in Texas, um a lot in North Carolina, like Raleigh Durham area, uh, Greenville, etc. But not really a whole lot of VA.

SPEAKER_02:

Would you do one in Richmond?

SPEAKER_10:

I would. I mean, I would. But at the same time, like I don't know. Like, I always just put music out and just let people kind of decide whether they like it or not. Like I actually got I got like two shows in London, I think in like March. I'm supposed to like fly out and go to London. So I put it out and like, you know, I I like the people I expected to listen to it and like buy into it, it didn't work out like that.

SPEAKER_05:

Yeah, you gotta go where you appreciate it and where you love that.

SPEAKER_17:

Are you to are you tapped in with the music and uh on the London scene and shit like that?

SPEAKER_10:

I mean, yeah, because I got I got a lot of like like guys out there with a lot of producers, um a lot of like show managers and stuff like that. So I definitely know a lot of people out there too, but really it's just you know, you put the music out, you promote it, you put your ads on, etc. And just kind of let you know see where it falls.

SPEAKER_17:

So that's dope. You never know, neither. That'd be the crazy part. Who will fuck with this shit over there?

SPEAKER_08:

So what like being from Virginia, and like I said, I've been out there for a short stint, fucking hate that shit. Fuck that Virginia.

SPEAKER_07:

Let it go.

SPEAKER_08:

No, I ain't gonna say that. Shout out to VA, bro.

SPEAKER_17:

I fucks with VA. He's wilding. I fucks with VA. The we legal out there. Yeah, the we legal out there.

SPEAKER_08:

Okay, that's Virginia. I'm talking about Chesapeake. Fuck Chesapeake, Chesapeake. I can't have the way uh shit.

SPEAKER_05:

I've been on the Chesapeake Bake Bridge.

SPEAKER_08:

Huh? Fuck that shit. That's a long ass fucking bridge. Yeah, yeah, that's shit longest fucking bridge. Yeah, long as fucking bridge.

SPEAKER_05:

Well, the longest bridge in the United States is.

SPEAKER_08:

So listen, man, being from Frederick's Bird, like, how, and this is Virginia DMV, how has that uh like translated into your sound? Because when I hear you, when I like we think of typical Virginians like the clips. We hear that sound, we're like, yo, well, but when I hear you, I don't hear that in that. So like you say you bounced around here and there. So like Fredericksburg in particular, like how does that uh attribute it to your sound?

SPEAKER_10:

Well, I mean, a little bit, because I mean, as far as Frederick's burgers uh we listen to a lot of go-go. A whole lot of go-go.

SPEAKER_08:

I thought that was fucking DC. It's DC. Okay, like it trickles back to the sound.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, yeah. Um, I mean, you know, like Wale was like one of the first like rappers I looked at and I was like, you know, I can do this because he's nice, the Wale. The first one from the area to really like do it. So but I mean, definitely like, you know, Wale for sure. I listened to him, but just um like I said, it's right in that line, so we kind of get the best of both. I guess for them it's a lot more so like uh Chief Keith.

SPEAKER_04:

And I kind of wanted that, like that balance. So, you know, I I kind of wanted to go that route.

SPEAKER_02:

I like the meaning of it. I've been needing reasons to walk in Nordstrom. Saying yes is expensive.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's uh it's a very simple concept, but like like I found myself just kind of saying yes to a lot of stuff like at one point in time, and I was just like one day, like no, and then I kept thinking about it, and I was like, I'm gonna put no on a t-shirt, and I put it on a t-shirt, and I was like, I'm gonna do it on a jacket, and then I just ended up doing like a whole bunch of products and just dropped them. And then my word like when the last time you said yes to something, like what it cost you.

SPEAKER_05:

Shit. I say yes all the time. I I'm always like, sure, I got you, no problem. Don't even worry about it. If I got it, you got it. And that's not just material things, but just my time, my energy. I just love hard. And that's what you know, not even in relationships.

SPEAKER_08:

So you just asked what you just asked. When's the last time you said yes?

SPEAKER_03:

When was the last time you said yes? I said what's gonna say yes a lot. Yeah, and what it costs.

SPEAKER_08:

Who? Who remembered next time model? You say everybody on the cast. Oh, okay. Oh, let's talk about the music, man. So listen, man. What what what because I know, listen, we go, how long we go back? Probably, I don't want to say it, it's too much. Should we say it? It's a long time, man.

SPEAKER_04:

We already know how old we are.

SPEAKER_08:

Shut up. Let me ask you that shit. You know, so how would you feel your growth has been from the last time that uh, you know, you sat here and we had a whole I don't forget which I forget which crew is that. Uh I don't know. Neither here nor there. Yeah, trap, trap, trap. So now, like, what's the growth? Like, what have you worked on? Give us a timeline because let's just say on average, let's just say three years. So, what is that timeline from Maurice Lydell from three years ago to now?

SPEAKER_10:

Um, I mean, I'm I mean, completely different, really. I mean, for one, like, I had children right out the gates. That just made me completely like just look at stuff different. I would say, besides that, really just just growing as far as like my my music, being able to be willing to take more risk, um, being more open, you know, in that aspect, and just kind of finding my my way of you know, still wanting to deliver a certain message in my music, but at the same time, you know, kind of dumbing it down just enough to where I can take it to your local club or your local, you know, bar scene and they still, you know, sing it word for word, you know, kind of finding that balance. I think I definitely did that over the past, you know, couple years.

SPEAKER_08:

So I was gonna ask you that too, right? Because um, when you say you had to dumb it down, uh, because when you look at when you started doing music and the landscape of music and how the sound it, how how the sound was sonically to where it's at now, to be like, okay, uh, I gotta be more lyrical in this period, but then you see, like, damn, motherfuckers ain't really respecting lyrics. You got this one girl saying, I'm a fairy, and she popping and making thousands of dollars. So let me dumb this shit down and say, yo, I'm Maurice Lidell. Hey, hey, type shit. You know what I mean? So how do you feel you had to like kind of adapt to that, knowing that you're a lyricist, you an MC, but sometimes, like you say, you gotta dumb this shit.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, really, really just dumbing it down. Really just uh like, you know, and also just, you know, like going to the clubs, going to the events. Like it's nights I sat in the clubs and I'm listening to like them play the same 20 songs over and over, and I'm like, okay, like okay, this is what they vibing to. This is, you know, this is I gotta kind of find my way to make this type of record, but also still stay true to me at the same time and just, you know, use, you know, you know, I don't I don't ever like to hate on none of the new music at all. Like, if anything, I'm gonna like listen to it. I'm like, all right, I'm gonna take it and just kind of put my own spin on it. I just say it's trash, bro. For trash is true. I mean, no, it's it's definitely it has a place for it and it has its own lane for sure. It's just a matter you can definitely learn from it. I don't ever want to be that person that's like, oh, that's trash. I definitely want to be the person that's like, you know, alright, I'm gonna take it and I'm gonna make it mine, like how I want it, but at the same time, make it to where it can fit, you know, just kind of how music is going now and everything like that, too. But you said learn from it. What can you learn from sexy red? A lot. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

A lot. She makes bangers. Yeah. She makes bangers. You don't make bangers? Yeah, my name is Sexy Red. You know what I mean? So what are people gonna learn from sexy red? What's that? But she like she got bangers. You know what I'm saying? Like they sing in their junk word for words. All right.

SPEAKER_10:

Like you can learn from it. So what can you learn from Maya P? I'm a fairy. Even with that, like sometimes even with that. You know what I'm saying? Like, you can listen to what's good. Like, you don't have to make it yours. You don't have to make a sound just like that, but you can take a piece from it. You know what I mean? Who's this nigga PR? This nigga PR is fucking great. Yeah, you can take a piece from any way. Cause like for me, like when I go to make a song, like I listen to everybody. I'ma listen from Sexy Red to even all the way, like, I'ma study TI, I'm gonna listen to 50 Cent, I'm gonna listen to the.

SPEAKER_08:

Because when you mention dumb it down, you're gonna dumb down to a level of say uh uh Sukiana?

unknown:

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_08:

No, you don't have to dumb it down.

SPEAKER_12:

You don't have to know.

SPEAKER_10:

I wouldn't even say that that's necessarily dumbed down, but when I say like when I say you gotta dumb it down, you just gotta give it to the people in a way that because people consume so much nowadays, especially with social media and everything. Like, you just gotta give them to a way where they can get it quick. Like, I feel like, especially with somebody like 50 Cent, I feel like, okay, yeah, like he came in crazy, but at the same time, like he had a hook on every track and it was catchy, and that's all he was. You know what I'm saying? You had to, you know. Simple too. Simple. You know what I mean? So you had to like really just do that.

SPEAKER_08:

So it's just really just noticed what 50 Cent did. He really just took Ja Ru's style and kind of dumbed it down a little bit.

SPEAKER_16:

Well no.

SPEAKER_08:

He dumbed Ja Rule's style that cause he's not gonna dumb Ja Rule's style that 50 nigga. Like, nigga, you can't sing, it's cool, it sounded good. 50 said, ah, okay, go, go, shorty. That nigga kind of harmonizing, but he's not going as hard as Ja Rule and blew the fuck up. Threw Ja Rule out.

SPEAKER_17:

Never, bro, never, bro.

SPEAKER_10:

Yeah, I feel like he was like, earlier stages. Early, early, yeah, like the but I mean, even then, like I know you know everybody tried to like clown Ja Ru, but I mean, even then, like he gave a lot to the game. He brought a lot of record, even a lot of the game, but you gotta respect that.

SPEAKER_08:

No, no, not get Ja Rule. If Ja Rule would have came back with like a singing song at 50, he would have beat 50. But he tried to talk about it. He wouldn't if 50 had a too crazy. If he did a disfactor with him and the shots, too crazy gonna kill it.

SPEAKER_10:

You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_06:

But the rap been killed, nigga. He kind of come up with that because he didn't want to hit the city.

SPEAKER_10:

It's like because okay, you from New York you understand like New York street culture, you gotta understand who 50 was and then who jacked.

SPEAKER_17:

Yeah, you can't beat the Ja wasn't really like, cause it was a lot of shit going on that Ja wasn't rapping about. 50 was rapping about shit that was embarrassing them niggas.

SPEAKER_10:

He was mentioning names.

SPEAKER_17:

But yeah, like John wasn't doing it like that.

SPEAKER_08:

50 destroyed. I'm just saying, I just failed personally because Jaru came out rapping, then he started doing the singing shit because that was towards a woman, because women buy a record, so he thought this niche. 50 came out, dumbed down his style, took it, and Jairo tried to come back as a rapper to combat that. He shouldn't have a good day. He should have came back. Yeah, that was what he should have came back with like organizers with this record. It would have come because everybody was on that wave. Like, oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

I still think he was killed though. I think he was it was over. It was just 50 times. It was over.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it was 50 yeah.

SPEAKER_10:

It was way cooler.

SPEAKER_17:

It was just way cooler.

SPEAKER_05:

What artists would you like music from the past would you sample on any upcoming album?

SPEAKER_10:

A lot of people name three.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_10:

SPEAKER_08:

So now we know you're coming on rising, man. I gotta ask you this question, man. I need to know. I need to know. Who are your top three artists of all time? Top three. Artists. Artists in general, artists. Michael Jackson. Mike Jack.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_10:

He's a legend, but I would say them two, and then uh just artist. Because I'm trying to, I'm thinking about entertainers first. That's what I that's kind of why I'm with it.

SPEAKER_05:

Don't be don't be no hater, CEO.

SPEAKER_10:

I guess as far as artists, the third one. I guess uh Beyonce. That'd be another one.

SPEAKER_05:

Beyonce? Hold on now.

SPEAKER_10:

Not to be honest.

SPEAKER_17:

If we're talking about over artists, you gotta look at man. We talk about overall.

SPEAKER_05:

You could have said Chris Brown right there.

SPEAKER_17:

That's a good looking thing. You could have said rappers, you said artists. You said artists.

SPEAKER_05:

SPEAKER_17:

Okay, yeah, that's valid. That's valid. I mean, Michael. Michael, Drake, and Beyonce.

SPEAKER_08:

Yeah, they ain't gonna be. I mean, I'm entitled to have an opinion, right? I'm entitled, I know it's his selection. I know fucking damn it, but Drake.

SPEAKER_10:

Damn, that's we talking whole conversations. Like he's I mean, he basically he almost done sold more records than at this point. Like it's like he didn't he done beat him in numerous categories. Sorry. Nobody goes. I'm not with Dickie Drake on podcast, but I fuck with Drake.

SPEAKER_04:

And I didn't used to be a Drake fan. So I got transitioned to like Drake. Yeah, goat. And I ain't gone back since.

SPEAKER_02:

And it's funny because I'm the opposite. I used to love Drake when I was young. Like, I mean, uh, you shut it down, down, dun.

SPEAKER_05:

I used to fuck with Drake, but I just don't listen to it.

SPEAKER_03:

It's so many other artists out there that are relatable to me, but everyone is different. I like people that I can relate to. Their story matches my stuff.

SPEAKER_10:

I'm not even gonna cap. Not not to cut you. No, yeah, it's fine.

SPEAKER_03:

It's just like I just don't relate to what Drake is talking about.

SPEAKER_10:

I'm not even gonna cap though. Like, uh I had went um, I had gone to the uh the young boy concert when he was here. I ain't gonna say that was crazy.

SPEAKER_16:

Shout out why B send it. I'm not gonna lie, like Wabi.

SPEAKER_10:

He a pop star, bro. Like, I ain't even I ain't never seen that like that in my life.

SPEAKER_00:

Definitely icon.

SPEAKER_10:

And I don't I ain't I I may have listened to two young boy songs, but I I've never seen a concert like that in my life. Like I wasn't even at the concert, I just was outside and I just saw the crowd like it was crazy. I don't understand nothing this nigga says in any of his songs.

SPEAKER_08:

It don't matter.

SPEAKER_05:

Read the lyrics.

SPEAKER_08:

I sing it with my own.

SPEAKER_04:

You got it, man. I was saying he's not a mumble rapper.

SPEAKER_08:

Nah, I don't think he is not a mumble rapper. He's not.

SPEAKER_04:

He's not. Yeah, I I know a lot of his songs were. Yeah, that they end up on the radio.

SPEAKER_13:

Yeah, they're end on the radio.

SPEAKER_17:

He's an energy. That's what he is saying.

SPEAKER_05:

He's on the radio all the time. That's what he's saying. The records that he makes should not be on the radio.

SPEAKER_10:

Like most of them, he really is not on the radio. He be wildin'. Compared to other artists, he's not. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08:

I I heard that. What's that song with the with the girl? Mellow Rats?

SPEAKER_17:

SPEAKER_05:

That is not what shut you.

SPEAKER_08:

I I guarantee you.

SPEAKER_05:

So I got one more question for you. Uh what is something that you would tell your younger self today? Like if you could look at yourself like a 10 years old, what is something that you would tell your younger self?

SPEAKER_09:

Don't do drugs.

SPEAKER_10:

Um I probably would tell my younger self. I probably would just say just fuck these people. Just do what you want to do. Really? That's all I would tell myself.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh that's real shit, though.

SPEAKER_10:

Just not really, just not really giving a fuck. I feel like it with anything, like anything you do, like you gotta have a level of just not giving a fuck about it. You gotta have a certain level of delusion of it's gonna work no matter what. And don't really care what people think, feel, or anything. Just you know, just being indifferent. I would just tell the younger self just you know. But at the same time, like, don't be like like too cool to do, you know, certain stuff too. I probably would tell my younger self that too.

SPEAKER_08:

I got a question. What is one of your most not one of your most what is the most difficult song you have done? And what was the most enjoyable song you have done?

SPEAKER_10:

I would say like my most difficult song I've ever written probably was um I would probably say I got a song on like my old like Camry Foles project's called like the broken home story. So it's pretty much just like you know how I grew up and stuff like that. You said uh you said what was the toughest one, or what would what was the other most difficult one and the most memorable one? The most memorable one I'd probably say is my newest one, GMFB. Because it was it was like it was like a completely new you know way of doing it. So get cheese. Very, very simple, but it it do its do its thing. That's a club song. Yeah, no, definitely for sure.

SPEAKER_04:

Different strokes for different folks.

SPEAKER_02:

So I see you made a RB song. Is that a your um Cinderella's that's your only RB song?

SPEAKER_10:

No, I I got a couple ones on some of my older projects. Um I said I said I was gonna get back to you know stuff like that. Like that RB. Not necessarily like that much RB, but I wanted to get kind of more on that like uh like just on that like rap RB, like the um you know what I'm saying, like that old school early 2000s, like it was like that mixture, like trying to find that.

SPEAKER_08:

Like I want to bring that kind of back. Who you put in your top three? Drake, right? Yeah and when you said that well, she asked you the question, what was what um you did RB to RB song and said, Cinderella? She said, Yeah, I like that. Stick to the woman. Women buy records, they buy records. For sure, right? Like, Link, just do rap RB harmony and shit and you're gonna see more records like that for sure.

SPEAKER_02:

Then when you get in, you can do all that dumb shit.

No, no, no, LaRussell, you know, from the Bay Area, fucking that nigga's fire. Very original for you, right? Um, and seeing where the music landscape is at right now, uh, and seeing how you got some artists that are microwavable famous, and you got some artists who really respect the craft like yourself and really, you know, push their time into the song that they're making. Um where do you feel like your music uh fits in with this genre? Like the YN genre is crazy right now.

SPEAKER_10:

Like, where do you feel your music fits in? I feel like it just fits in, you know, when they when they trying to turn up.
