Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:06

Welcome to another episode of These Are the Aesthetics. Uh I go by the name of Cheech, aka the ladies' favorite broadcaster. AKA your favorite journalist, aka. If you didn't see me in the picture, I wasn't there.

SPEAKER_00 0:26

Plausible nobody's not available.

SPEAKER_01 0:28

Plausible deniability, baby.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

Sick. Well, I got my name of Gary, aka in Gary Trust, aka Mr. Sneaker Convo, aka one pair after another.

SPEAKER_02 0:42

Okay. Okay. That boy back in the sneaker game.

SPEAKER_00 0:46

Slowly but surely.

SPEAKER_02 0:47

Okay, what you cop? What you got? It felt like you cop some based on the statement you just.

SPEAKER_00 0:52

I did. I did. I doubled back on the Aqua 8s that dropped last year.

SPEAKER_02 0:57

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 0:58

Only because like my old my 07 pair cracked on me. So like. That's a good excuse.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

It's a wedding gift. To yourself.

SPEAKER_00 1:05

To myself. And that's not even the most fast shit that came out. There's other shit I could have I could have copped like the new vans that came out, but it's like that's something I knew I wanted for sure. That's good.

SPEAKER_02 1:16

I'm glad you still find ways to keep yourself happy.

SPEAKER_00 1:20

Exactly. You might see him on the next episode. Who knows?

SPEAKER_02 1:23

But yeah, man. How are you feeling? How's how's life treating you? What's your existence on a scale of one to ten?

SPEAKER_00 1:31

I'm feeling good, man. Feeling good. I'm just like, I'm finally settled into the new spot. Um, I get to enjoy my weekends now, pretty much. You know, like when you're moving and it's like it's never like you always have to do something, especially when you move to a new spot. It's like, oh, we gotta get cups, we gotta get chairs, we gotta get toilet paper, gotta go to Costco. Well, bro, that's another thing, bro. Like, there's some people that go to Costco, that's like they really treat it as like the mall. Because it's like I was walking around Costco and I'm like, I kind of felt like overstimulated and shit. Like, first of all, nothing's branded nowhere. And it's like, I don't know, that's just more adult shit that I've been dealing with. But I like I said, I'm feeling good and I'm feeling like a strong 10 still.

SPEAKER_02 2:12

Okay. Um, for me, man, I'm I I really can't complain. I I'll say I'll give myself a solid eight um as far as my life experience right now, if I have to put it on put a number to it. I'm good, man. Family's okay. Um I'm still grateful to have a job. And like I posted this week on Instagram, like I don't really take it for granted for having a decent life in this economy. Uh gas is fucking expensive. The fact that I'm still able to get around, have a job, my family is healthy, um, and I get to come do this with you every once in a while. Like, I'm I'm blessed, man. I'm I'm good. I'm an eight. I'm good, man. And you know, I'm I'm adding more aesthetics, if you will, to the crib. You feel me? I'm slowly but surely furnishing the crib. Uh, the only thing I'm missing is a woman's touch. I mean, that's only because I'm not practically uh in love right now, but I feel like it's coming. That's an ad. I know eventually he was gonna say something about that. It's really not an ad. It's more so like I'm proud of myself because you know, most women think we don't have style. Oh, yo, you really decorated your place yourself.

SPEAKER_00 3:28

Like, but I know women bring even if I did see him with somebody, no one's living there. So that means he's still available. I I know what you did. I know what you did.

SPEAKER_02 3:37

It's not even that at all, but whatever. It's cool.

SPEAKER_00 3:40

It's cool.

SPEAKER_02 3:40

But I'm good, man. I'm good. I'm happy to be back here. It's it's so much to talk about. Yeah, like I remember when news news used to be to break out like every other day or after a few days, but now we got fucking headlines after headlines. Exactly. Uh the shade room has been on fire, New York Times has been on fire, US Daily has been on fire.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

Because like, even like what Chisha's like, I know we were debating like should we record this week or next week? I know I got my honeymoon coming up, but it's like there's just so much shit that's like popped up where it's like, I don't want it to make it feel like all the way old news by the time we get to it, so it's like might as well touch on it. But that's for like the meat and potatoes of the episode because um we um not saying we're starting something new, but we're bringing back something that we started originally with the podcast as been requested by multiple people. Uh so this show is actually titled These Are the Aesthetics. Correct. So we're kind of getting started back into talking about aesthetics for sure. Aesthetics that we love.

SPEAKER_02 4:37

Some of the things we enjoy, some of the things we like. It could be a piece of jewelry, it could be furniture, it could be clothing, it could be lifestyle shit. There's a lot of things that we're into, and again, we're here to give opinions that nobody asks for. But we're here to share some of our, you know, some of the things that we find interesting and that we love with you, and hopefully you appreciate it and you resonate.

SPEAKER_00 4:59

Exactly. Even though we uh we uh appreciate a lot of aesthetics, the aesthetics that me and Cheesh got cool over is just uh fashion and sneakers, and it has been requested by most of people just to talk about the stuff that like we wear on the podcast, for sure.

SPEAKER_02 5:12

And before we get into this, let me say one more thing. Yes, I'm gonna aka give this uh segment a nickname or an aka. If it doesn't apply, let it fly. Because I know we're gonna get a lot of the fashion police, yes, a lot of the the people behind the keyboards that's gonna just try to rip us to shreds. Like, we this is all passion for us. We're not telling you what to do with your life, what to do with your money. These are just our opinions. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 5:45

Exactly, exactly. But real quick, just like pretty much like what I'm wearing. Like for the people that know me, you know, like I love streetwear. That's nine times out of ten. Some people can call me hype beast, but that's just my style. I kind of go more of like functional, come comfortable. Sometimes I want to pop my shit, but you guys will find out later throughout the weeks. But honestly, just like this is pretty much a standard Gary fit. I'll I'll say that's what I'm wearing, right? It's a pretty standard. It's like I have a Fair God hat and the good one too, the MOB version as well.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

The MOB one.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

And um, I got Apple Watch will see me every episode, my wedding ring. Um, it's a little bracelet my mom got me when she was on vacation. Um good, good, uh, good little throwback t-shirt, watch the throne, uh, Kanye and Jay-Z.

SPEAKER_02 6:29

I lucky got triggered when you walked in here because that's one of my biggest regrets is not going on that tour.

SPEAKER_00 6:34

Same, same. Yeah, I want to say shout out to Florida Thrift Men that uh hugs me up with this. Um, it fits. It's like looks like it's medium on camera, but it does, I promise you it does fit. Because I'm not really used to wearing fitted shirts in a while, I usually wear baggy clothes. Um, I wear um wearing uh little vintage carhart work work shorts, uh, a little like scrunch socks from sample, and then I have on the what's it called, the Weissman 3s, the 88s, or whatever you want to call them.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

Okay, yeah, that's fine. I see what you did today. You came with more shit than I expected.

SPEAKER_00 7:08

This is a this is a casual day.

SPEAKER_01 7:09

This is a light day for Gary.

SPEAKER_00 7:11

I'm not gonna say it's a light day, but it's a casual day. It's a it's a uniform. How about that? Yeah, a uniform.

SPEAKER_02 7:16

That's the Gary kit. Uh for me, I I didn't really go too crazy today. This is a Mike Tyson T. Uh, it's a vintage wash. I actually got this from Nordstrom. Uh, it was on sale. Originally 35 bucks. I think I paid 22 for it. Um, Paxon denim, and I got some cool gray fours on the feet. Nothing crazy.

SPEAKER_00 7:37

Nothing crazy.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Yeah, nah, nah, none.

SPEAKER_00 7:39

Uniform.

SPEAKER_02 7:40

Yeah, uniform. Usually I'm in shorts and sandals or like, you know, some birkin stocks or something like that. But to record the show, we actually make an effort to dress up. Exactly. Um, because we are gonna be on camera. So, yeah, man, we're gonna definitely talk more about where we get stuff.

SPEAKER_00 7:59

Uh the shit that's fly to us, pretty much.

SPEAKER_02 8:01

Yeah, yeah, our regular aesthetics that we this is gonna be interesting, and this is shit that me and you get on the phone and talk about 24-7 anyway. Exactly. But what what's the what's the topic of discussion when it comes to that part?

SPEAKER_00 8:13

So, pretty much just like uh just talking about aesthetics. Like, one of the main aesthetics that me and Cheech really do love is fashion. So, but as far as like a good topic I wanted to discuss as well, is that um is what do you consider? Is there such a thing as too much clothes? Owning too much clothes.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

Um, I I think there's it it's such an interesting question because I feel like how much money do you have? Because if you have a certain amount of money, then you can afford to buy a lot of clothes, and you also have the space to store the clothes. And um yeah, if you if and and some people are just naturally into clothes. Um, but I did break this conversation down because I knew we were gonna have this conversation. I broke it down to three different uh categories that all intertwine, but there's levels to this shit. So there's clothing like regular, there's the person that actually sees something they like, they buy it. They like wearing clothes, they buy things that's cool to them, and that's that. Then you get into the people that want to get pieces. This is more of the refined fashion person. Separating the men from the boys. Yeah, that that has an eye for this shit, that knows how to curate a look. That's for you. And then the next tier is when you are buying collectibles. Collectibles is something like uh an LV bag from you know when Virgil was there or bear brick. You know, it it it fashion is so interesting that it could be a chrome hearts belt, a vintage watch, yeah. A vintage watch. So uh so I I think those three categories, yeah, they all intertwine, but there's levels to this shit. But there's people that take it too far now that start hoarding. I don't I don't I don't condone hoarding. You can't just I think you called me out on that shit a few years ago, uh, because you're like, cheese, you very impulsive. And I think I got that from my mom, because my mom, like I got my shopping addiction from my mom. Because my mom could be going to church Sunday. Something has to be new about her outfit. It could be a hat, it could be a watch, it could be a skirt. It's so I grew up seeing that. So whenever I had to hit the club on the weekends, when I used to go out a lot more, it's like, yo, I gotta get a new hat, I gotta get a new shirt, I gotta get some new denim, I gotta get a new shoe. It's like exactly when you as you get older, you got more responsibilities. You're like, yeah, I can't keep living like this.

SPEAKER_00 10:43

Exactly. And I can definitely agree, because even when it comes down to the question, like, is there such a thing as too much clothes? Um no. I would say yes and no for sure, because I the reason why I brought up this conversation, because I was talking to Cheese the other day, and this is a blessing. I'm not trying to flex, this is a real blessing, I'll admit that. Is that um I was like packing for like my my for my wedding, like for vacation, and I'm like, and after I packed my bags and I looked at my closet, it looked like nothing came out.

SPEAKER_01 11:10

And me and you took a break and we laughed about that because there's a lot of shit we take for granted, bro.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

There's some niggas out there that only have five t-shirts.

SPEAKER_00 11:21

Yeah, bro. I went to school with niggas that didn't own jeans.

SPEAKER_02 11:25

Correct. So it's like to be able to say that. Yeah, and the fact that some niggas can even say, I have winter clothes, it's a flex.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

Bro, that that is a flex.

SPEAKER_02 11:34

Having layers is a flex. We live in Florida. The fact that the two weeks where we get a little cold front, you could pull out a sweater, you could pull out a coat, you could pull out the fact that some people even have a suit as part of their collection is a flex as well.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

So and even like when it comes down to like as far as like me just like looking for clothes, there's some times where I do feel like I do have too much clothes. Because I would tell you the moment when like my closet was just getting ridiculous when I really started thrifting. Because like when we start, when anyone you know that starts a thrift, where it's like you get into the habit where it's like, damn, I guess it's only five dollars, it's only ten dollars, it's only four dollars. I don't have that color, it's one dollar Tuesday. So like when you go, so when you so you kind of like you justify a lot of your purchases, you od, you o D. But then like when you go into your closet, it's like, why did I get this? I didn't really need it. But as far as like with my closet now, like I kind of like got rid of a lot of stuff because I started to go from like, oh, I want to buy everything that's cool to really start getting stuff more like pieces and stuff. Like to some people, like this shirt would be a piece because it's like one of like a tour merch. Like to some people, it's not vintage, but it's more a throwback. But some people will consider, oh, that's a piece because I remember that's a moment in history. It's a moment in history, like Jay-Z and Kanye's freaking um tour. And I would say the only part of me that's like slowly getting to that hoarder stage is my shoes. And I really mean this when I say it's like I don't think I'm a hoarder, but it's like when you know when you collect so much classic or OG sneakers, where it's like, damn, I have 40 pairs of red and white sneakers. That's not necessary.

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Yeah, but I oh in a nutshell, it's not necessary. I also think though, with that, it's it's not overdoing it because fashion is like an extension of your personality, and it's like I never hear a woman says, I have too many mascara, I have too many lash brushes. It's like every brand have the same shit, and there's always a new color palette to their thing. So I feel like we got our own things that we're into, and I think that shouldn't be uh too much. But I I do this is what I will say to to close this topic on my end. Um the the older you get and the more seasoned you are in this fashion shit, yeah, you realize that trends come and go. So it's a big mistake to just fall in love and go all in on every trend. Because I know right now, the trend right now is jean shorts. You feel me? And we will talk about that another time. But I was there when it was bombing jeans, it was just biker denim. Then it it got to the skinny jeans, then it got to rib jeans, and and just a few years ago it was embellished denims now. Every kid is bedazzled to death outside. So it's like just I mean, it's cool to get one piece because you live in it in the now and it's that's what's cool, but don't be like a few years ago when everybody had 30 pairs of Amira jeans. Because that that trend will go away at some point, or Amiri-like jeans, yeah. You you don't want to go in your closet and you have 30 pairs of the same color jeans or different colors of the same gene with the same cut on the knee, and it's like, bro, exactly. At some point, you just doing too much.

SPEAKER_00 14:56

But in a nutshell, but in a nutshell, we both do own like a lot of clothes, and I'm glad that I'm married to a woman that doesn't judge me for having a good amount of clothes because there's some women that do believe having too much clothes is feminine. Thankfully, I'm not with one of those. Yeah, of course, and yeah, so yeah, because I I was low-key kind of embarrassed when I was like moving into the new spot, and I have to put some of my shoes in my wife's closet. So it was low-key kind of embarrassing, so I was like, let's get this shit over here. Wait, but she she should be she should be glad though, because I could have been one of them niggas with clear boxes.

SPEAKER_02 15:25

And oh yeah, that would have been annoying.

SPEAKER_00 15:27

Because low-key, I'm not gonna discuss it now quick. I get to the next topic. Them clear boxes are low-key corny, but that's for another conversation. That's another conversation.

SPEAKER_02 15:36

Almost fell for that trap a few years ago. Because I I think a good amount of them is fine, but when you go in a nigga house and my nigga, half of the room is clear boxes, it's like, bro, it's the living.

SPEAKER_01 15:49

This is your mirror now.

SPEAKER_00 15:50

Nigga, this is the living room. Fam.

SPEAKER_01 15:52

Let's keep it a pocket. You're right, because you walk in, you don't know where to sit. It's like, bro, okay, is this sane?

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Like, I'm sitting on the phone posit today. But uh, but speaking of fashion, like I guess like since like he's like one of our favorite artists ever, um, Kanye. For sure. Very fashionable dude. Um, he's in a lot of he's uh he's in a lot of a lot of shit right now.

SPEAKER_02 16:17

Yes, I mean, amidst his uh Apology Tour and also his two sold-out shows at SoFly Stadium in LA, uh, he was supposed to headline the wireless festival in London.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 16:33

Um I don't know if it's in London, but I know it's in the United Kingdom somewhere. Um Great Britain, yeah. Yeah, Great Britain, somewhere overseas in Europe across the pond, yes.

SPEAKER_00 16:43

Somewhere there.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

Um, but yeah, a lot of controversy came out of that. The one of the organizers of the event kind of stood up for him and was like, look, you know, people make mistakes, and clearly, he clearly came out and said he struggled with mental health. You know, I know he said a lot of hurtful things, but who are we as people to judge him? This and that. But Kanye apparently is so powerful that the people governing the country literally said, nah, we we can't even allow you to come in and perform. And matter of fact, we're gonna cancel the whole entire festival.

SPEAKER_00 17:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:20

Uh because they even made that choice to put you as the headliner. Because Pepsi pulled out first. Yeah. Pepsi, I mean, I don't know who is still drinking Pepsi. Yeah, not too much of Pepsi.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

Pepsi still here. I like Pepsi better than Coke.

SPEAKER_02 17:31

I I I prefer Coke because I'm an adult and I don't like drinking, and I don't like drinking battery acid, but that's me.

SPEAKER_00 17:38

Okay, if you don't care about your high blood pressure, cool.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

All coke are bad. Let's be honest.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

I don't know why we even have an interesting. But back to Kyle.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

But yeah, so Pepsi pulled out, then another big brand pulled out, and then the issue got all the way into the government body of the nation, and they they had to pull the plug on the festival. And and and my thing is this, right? Again, this is not a political show. This is us just stating our opinion. But my thing is, and one of the organizers had a good point, is like, yo, we haven't stopped playing his music on the radios. We haven't banned him from being listened to over here. So why does it matter if he wants to come perform some of his songs to people that want to buy tickets to go see him? And another thing is, I don't know why we have to deal with the consequences of things like this when they don't keep the standard all the way throughout. Because there's people that came out and said racial things about black people. There's people that offended other minority groups that they kind of like turn a blind out to. So it's like, I get it, Kanye is powerful, very influential, but it's it seems like these countries or these entities pick and choose who to paint out to be the bad guy. Mind you, I'm not saying Kanye was not wrong for all the anti-Semitic shit that he was on, all the people he hurt, Kanye was fucked up for a lot of the behaviors that he exhibited. But at the same time, we knew, like, anybody's a s that's choosing to associate with Kanye, you know what Kanye comes with. Yes. That's all I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

That's true. Yeah, I I can definitely agree to that. Um, so my viewpoint of like Kanye, like, first of all, wireless festival being cancelled and him being banned from a country, because it's not the first time um, like literally any country has banned an artist from performing. It's happening to Eminem, Tyler the Creator, I believe Lil Wayne. So it's happened multiple times. But like, as far as like the Kanye situation, it's a it's kind of hard for me to believe where it's like just reading the headline that like Kanye is banned from a whole country from Great Britain because of like his um anti-Semitic ways and like his like Nazi like uh admiring whatever. So the thing is, I'm not saying it's not like a serious thing, but it's like I don't know which one which one is more like insane to believe. It's like the fact that a black man really believes that he's a Nazi or a country really believing a black man is a Nazi.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

It really doesn't make sense, and I and I think I I wish they they I I hate the oppression Olympics, and I said this the last episode. It's like black people we dealt with slavery, and the Jewish people dealt with the Holocaust. We get it. I'm not here to talk about which one was worse than the other. Let's just put our heads together and just move forward so we don't have to repeat some of these horrific incidents in history.

SPEAKER_00 20:44

Not forget, but not.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

But acknowledge, reform, refine, do better, make sure we we we don't put ourselves back in those situations and stuff like that, even though our situation was, you know, we kind of just got picked up and we still feel ourselves. So so my thing is I'm I'm not here for that. Like when Kanye said slavery was a uh was a choice, no countries banned him.

SPEAKER_00 21:09

Nah.

SPEAKER_02 21:09

And there's there's black people all over the world.

SPEAKER_00 21:12

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

So it's like now that he's talking about another group of people, which I don't even feel comfortable name-dropping, it's like now all the uproar is is starting. So it's like I understand. And you really get to see where the money is and where the true power is when things like this happen.

SPEAKER_00 21:30

But my my but the thing is with my main gripe, and I'm not just blaming Kanye, is just like with the wireless festival, it's like if you knew what kind of comes, like you said, you knew what comes with Kanye, and it's like, fam, I'm pretty sure you had to hire a lot of staff, a lot of security, a lot of people took time off. So it's like really canceling the um the whole festival just because of the fact that Kanye was your headliner and sponsors being pulled out. I don't know how much money they were bringing you, but it's like I feel like you're losing a lot more money just canceling the whole thing.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

Yeah, and you're hurting a lot more other artists on the Bill because that probably one performing. Correct. And it's like you taking away food from a lot of people's tables. Some people that could have been their fucking gig. And that's how they were gonna pay their fucking child support, tuition, their home.

SPEAKER_00 22:15

Even the people that perform at 1 to 2 p.m., yeah, you still get new fans performing at the festival. Correct.

SPEAKER_02 22:21

At the end of the day, the bottom line got affected on the business side, and I feel like the bottom line got affected on the humane level because the little guys are the ones really getting crushed by this decision.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

Exactly. All I know is there's a concert in Miami. I'm not saying I am or not going.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

I'm saying it. I'm gonna be there. I don't rain sleet us know. If Kanye, I saw how the LA show was the top of the world shit, the globe on top of the globe shit he got going on. He's one of the most genius artists of this generation. I don't agree with everything he does, but that nigga knows how to put a good show together. He's a good visual artist, and he's talented as fuck.

SPEAKER_00 23:03

I know there's someone typing saying, look at him chucking and jib. Yeah, that's fine.

SPEAKER_02 23:06

I don't think that's fine. Some people out there still listen to R. Kelly. I don't judge y'all. I feel like everybody picked their necessary evil to live with. And maybe that's my line. You feel me? But uh, yeah, man. Well, jumping from Kanye, another person that finally graced the stage after a long hiatus from performing. Some people said it was some mental health issues that kept him away. Some people say it was contract negotiations and and he was unhappy with how he was being handled in the business. Some people say he got married and he outgrew that phase of his life. But Justin Bieber recently um headline Coachella, and a lot of people were super happy, and it was a very nostalgic moment for a lot of people. And as I'm not gonna say as a as a believer, but as somebody that enjoys Justin Bieber's music, uh, I was happy to see that boy back in his element, back on stage. And we kind of knew that was coming after the album dropped, the reception it received, the Grammy performance. So I'm just I'm just happy for him, man. Uh the new resurgence of him.

SPEAKER_00 24:19

Uh so the thing is like, yes, I I'm happy for Justin Bieber and his performance, but I'm just letting you know right now. If I am a concert goer, if I'm like a literally a fan in the crowd at Coachella, I'm pissed as shit if I'm at that performance.

SPEAKER_01 24:32

Why?

SPEAKER_00 24:33

You just tell me I'm just looking at I spent$3,000 to be at Coachella, and I'm just looking at Justin Bieber that I don't even have a close spot of, by the way. I'm just seeing this motherfucker on an empty stage and a laptop.

SPEAKER_02 24:46

He he could have put a up put up a better show. I do agree with that. But I think I read something about that he doesn't own the right to his music after he sold his catalog. So a way for him to get around, you feel me, performing some of the music is playing it on YouTube and just doing like a karaoke version, singing over himself. So there's a lot of talks out there. That makes sense. I'm not super invested in the topic, but again, I know what success does to young people that come in this business. A lot of them end up dead, a lot of them lose their mind because of all the pressure that comes with being a part of this or their parents forcing them to be part of the business. So the fact that he still wanna get up and and and fall back in love with music and have the courage to go back on that stage, I applaud him. I think that's good for his mental health.

SPEAKER_00 25:40

Good for Justin Bieber. All I know is especially for what he did and the money you're paying at Coachella. Yeah. That shit not fly with me. Fam, do you know the prices to go to Coachella? I get it. You know it's like$40 to get like a pizza and not even like$40.

SPEAKER_02 25:53

Hopefully, by the time we go, we get a media pass, and we don't have to wear a media.

SPEAKER_00 25:57

Media pass. We get VIP. A brand is literally having our own little section on the side with bathrooms in AC.

SPEAKER_02 26:03

Yeah, I can't. Nigga, you know me. I don't even want to be around, don't disrespect niggas. And when we say niggas, we mean anybody. Yeah, and not just black people. I I I like to be comfortable in AC enjoying the show.

SPEAKER_03 26:17

Nigga, what?

SPEAKER_02 26:20

Uh but yeah, it's it's but I'm I'm happy though. I'm happy that boy back. Uh what else we gotta talk about? Before we get to the bullshit, as you mentioned earlier, when you were talking about your wardrobe, the Wash the Throne tour.

SPEAKER_03 26:34

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 26:34

Again, one of my biggest regrets in 2011 was not going to that fucking Miami show on the 14th when my birthday was the day before. Or the Fort Lauderdale one. Or the Full Lauderdale one. So my again, I I think I think I didn't have a ride, I didn't have a car at the time, or I prioritized other plans, but we probably never gonna see Kanye and Jay-Z on a stage together for a long time.

SPEAKER_00 26:59

Probably ever.

SPEAKER_02 26:59

Probably ever. So that's one of my biggest regrets. So you could imagine how I felt when I saw Chris Brown and Usher going on tour together, calling it the RB tour, Usher Raymond, Raymond, and Chris Brown B Brown. This shit was mind-boggling to me. I don't care if I have to call out of work, quit my job, find a new job, fucking take the bright line there. I don't care if I have to walk to Miami to go to that show.

SPEAKER_00 27:32

I'm going to that show. If the CIA wants to run an operation on black people and especially black women, they won't be at that Chris Brown and Usher show.

SPEAKER_02 27:54

Uh, somebody said on IG it's gonna be the aunties versus the nieces.

SPEAKER_01 28:00

Because there's another nigga that says, bro, we can't catch a break. Because Usher is gonna be massing cherries in the crowd. Chris Brown is gonna be dry up in your bitch old face. We can't catch a break. As a nigga, you really, bro, if you really have a girlfriend now, or you married and your wife is into music, you fucked.

SPEAKER_02 28:22

Bro.

SPEAKER_01 28:23

Beyonce.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

Chris Brown, but Chris Brown just came off a tour. Usher just stopped doing his residency in Vegas, performed at the Super Bowl. Now you got these, and you know the ticket is gonna be an arm and a fucking leg. And I got the arm and the leg to give them.

SPEAKER_00 28:38

Let's stay right there. You know what pissed me off? I was having a conversation with my wife. Let me guess. She would have gone. Yes, and then she's like, oh babe, I can't wait to go. Like, I said, wait, I thought you told me you didn't know how to speak French. We because we were having a long conversation about investments, finances. Yeah, right. All of a sudden she's like, you know what? Because I don't I don't want to go if them tickets is like, if I can't find a good seat for under for over uh wait for for around$300, I'm not going.

SPEAKER_01 29:14

First of all, if you and her are going, y'all need a decent seat. Decent too. If if y'all need a decent seat, it's gonna cost you a thousand dollars.

SPEAKER_02 29:21

I'm telling you that. And mind you, you're gonna have to drive, pay for VIP parking. You know how Miami parking is. Nigga, fam, them niggas sound good on my Apple freaking headphones. Nah, you're gonna, you, you know you're gonna end up going. I don't know why you're doing all this cap.

SPEAKER_00 29:37

Because I told her you have friends, you got a lot of cousins.

SPEAKER_02 29:40

No, it's cool. But guess what? We have a we have an answer to that.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

Hey, this could be your birthday gift. Are you okay with this being your birthday gift?

SPEAKER_00 29:49

But it's in December. Oh. Right on top of it, this tour is in December.

SPEAKER_01 29:53

Christmas! This is your Christmas gift, boo-boo.

SPEAKER_00 29:56

So you don't so you think and on top of it, you really think that them tickets are not gonna be resold?

SPEAKER_02 30:00

Man, it's gonna be tough. The fix is in. I just know that. The fix is. It's almost unfair, but I mean, for those of you who know me personally, you know my love for Usher. I used to steal that nigga lyrics to write letters to girls back in the day, and Chris Brown is a fucking new generation Michael Jackson level of talent. I mean, I look, I feel like Chris Brown stopped looking for his flowers from the industry and literally start looking into his fans to really see his true legacy. And and I've been enjoying seeing him get his flowers every tour because it's only gotten bigger and bigger and bigger to the point where the Super Bowl won't be able to ignore him anymore. Um, but I do think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Um, and this I'm gonna have a hard take, uh hot take here. This to me is gonna be this generation version. Remember when uh Jay-Z and R. Kelly went on tour and had an album together?

SPEAKER_00 31:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

Best of both worlds.

SPEAKER_00 31:07

That sounds crazy and nasty today, but back then it wasn't.

SPEAKER_02 31:10

Back then it was the top nigga in rap, top nigga in RB. Now you got the new and old generation of RB in the fucking build. Bro, I'm excited about the openers. Imagine if they have a Marion, Trey Songs. If they have Marion.

SPEAKER_00 31:26

I want to see Trey Songs nowhere near that stage. That nigga.

SPEAKER_02 31:29

Nigga, if these three niggas are in Miami, I'm barricading my bitch.

SPEAKER_01 31:33

If these three niggas are in Miami, I'm telling you, if your bitch flies in, she is not coming back for a week.

unknown 31:42

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 31:43

This is gonna be crazy. I'm pretty sure, like, if you if we had to take a wild guess, some openers, I have a feeling Ty Dollar sign probably might be one of the things. Ty Dollar sign. Um, oh, um, what's what's buddy's name? Um, that's always what Wale. What's his uh Leon Thomas?

SPEAKER_02 31:56

Leon Thomas. Leon Thomas. Uh I could see some strong contenders. Yes. Uh, I could see Seven Streeter, her, I could see Coco Jones, Janae Eichel. Um, but yeah, you know they definitely gonna do something special for the ladies. So I think for I think for different cities, they probably gonna have different headliners to make it a true Oh, Tank. How can we forget about Tank?

SPEAKER_00 32:19

Tank. Everybody won't happen, but if party next door is an opener, um I'll tap in. I'll tap in.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

He'd be too much in his mystique bag for me. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 32:28

Price until it's probably gonna be one of the things.

SPEAKER_02 32:30

Price until is 1000% gonna be there. What are we talking about? But I'm excited, bro. I'm excited, and I'm telling you now, I'm gonna literally start saving my money now. Because what I'm trying to do is spend the entire weekend in Miami. Oh, all of Miami is gonna smell like cocoa butter. Get a nice hotel, eat some nice food, go out, bro. That weekend is gonna be crazy. Bro, I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_00 32:54

But it's on a Thursday. It's on a Thursday night.

SPEAKER_02 32:56

You might as well Uber the whole fucking weekend. Do not come down here, rent a Ferrari because you're gonna be stuck in traffic for two hours.

SPEAKER_00 33:02

I don't care. It's on a Thursday night, too, so it's gonna be wicked.

SPEAKER_01 33:06

Oh, Thursday night leading to Friday night. If you're in a relationship, you don't like your girl. Make some up. Break up with her.

SPEAKER_00 33:18

Oh man. But we gotta get to the fuck shit, bro.

SPEAKER_01 33:22

Let's get into the bullshit. Let's get into the fuck shit.

SPEAKER_00 33:27

F the FDO.

SPEAKER_01 33:32

Welcome to my favorite part of the show. Messi boost.

SPEAKER_02 33:36

Messi boost time. Messi booth's time. Uh, there's been a lot of fuck shit happening. There's been a lot of things that me and Gary secretly laugh about. Uh, let me tell you guys a secret. There's a lot of things me and Gary can't come out here and say publicly. So we have those private conversations, and out of that, we take away what could be PG 13. Sometimes and bring it here to share it with y'all. Yes. Uh, but reports came out that Pooh Shy Steve, a talent that is signed to Gucci's 1017 label. But now fucking Magadi, apparently. Apparently. Lord Gucci into a meeting at a studio and Gucci Male Flair. Uh, yeah, and actually fucking tried to fucking kidnap him, kidnap him, rob them. Because try to force him to kinda release from his label. Yeah. Uh yeah, man. It's a lot. When I heard the news, I'm like, that can't be for real. Like, niggas can't live like life is GTA. You can't just, you can't just. While on probation, by the way. You just got out of jail. You got a hot record on the streets. Don't tell me you love jail so much that you gonna kidnap the head of your label like you're in a fucking to be movie. And you gonna pull this off. Ain't no way niggas think this is gonna fly in the very United States of America that we live in.

SPEAKER_00 35:05

I don't believe it. Um, when I saw head- it's not even the headlines, I saw the reactions before I saw the actual headline. Is that I apparently because like Pooh Shisey had niggas in Memphis, he hit up Gucci, like, hey, can you come over here? Can we discuss these contracts? Mainly because like Poochhi C had like the not a breakout song, but it's like one of the biggest songs of the year, FDO, like first day out song. And of course, who's known for first day out songs? No one has made more first day out songs than Gucci and Kodak. For sure. So um, obviously, if you guys didn't know that Pushai is signed to Gucci's label, so apparently Gucci had some off-duty police officers with him.

SPEAKER_02 35:43

Oh, okay. So he showed up with protection.

SPEAKER_00 35:45

Yes, with protection, with legal protection. Okay, so I like what you're doing.

SPEAKER_01 35:51

Because I know where your mind is going. You can't trick me, bitch.

SPEAKER_00 35:55

With legal protection. So apparently, Pooh Shah C has some niggas to uh go from Memphis to go to Dallas, where Pooh Shah C is staying, apparently. Pooh Shah C thought he was sugar knight. And had some muscle with him, some some of his homeboys, his father, and tried to make Gucci Man sign out of a contract. And apparently, one of the dudes, no one got seriously hurt, but one of the off-duty cops apparently got strangled out.

SPEAKER_02 36:30

And um, I don't know if she allegedly uh took Gucci Man's earrings, his wedding ring,$3,600 in cash.

SPEAKER_00 36:39

Yeah, ran the pockets, his chain. So Pooh Shisey thought that after doing all this, he was just gonna go home and sleep like a baby. Sir, so I don't know if anybody knows this, but it's illegal kidnapping what to rob and kidnapping people holding someone you know uh uh against their will.

SPEAKER_02 37:02

By the way, again, that's a different charge as well.

SPEAKER_00 37:05

By the way, by the way, no Dr. Ubar, by the way, if there is any time to do this, Pooh Shistie, I think a good time to do it is when you're not on house arrest.

SPEAKER_02 37:20

You know, I'm beginning to believe, Gary, that I'm gonna have a heart take. Niggas that love going to jail, you cannot be a straight man. You there's no way you're a heterosexual. You're not a heterosexual. There's nothing wrong with that bottom. And I love the, you know, I'm not gonna say I love homosexuals, but I love my the the the gay people that support us that we know.

SPEAKER_00 37:41

Gay people in my family. We support the LGBTQ plus community.

SPEAKER_02 37:46

But at the same time, nigga, if you are making millions outside in the free world, you have a hot song, people were literally expecting you to come out and do shows and perform at Rolling Loud and literally be seen and do club appearances, and you wanna be fucking Mr. Sug Knight, like you said, you wanna run with an iron fist like you fucking Trump, okay, cool. Go back with the niggas that is gonna tolerate that on the inside. Like you have to love Dick or being around Dick to condone yourself that way, bro.

SPEAKER_00 38:21

Yeah, that's how that's how you're wrong.

SPEAKER_02 38:22

Yeah, I got like I said, there's no steak in jail, there's no pussy in jail. You can't walk outside and pass your house. Like, bro, it bro, niggas don't value freedom the way I value freedom. There's no freedom in jail. You should have led with that.

SPEAKER_01 38:37

Bro, you can't you can't even get McDonald's in jail, nigga. Why?

SPEAKER_00 38:43

So, and the thing is, it's like I don't know what pissed me off more. It was that headline or niggas' reactions, because it surprisingly, it was a debate.

SPEAKER_01 38:52

I'm shocked that people hit it. It was a debate.

SPEAKER_00 38:56

Let's discuss this. So Gucci man is like what in his late 40s, I think. Correct. So you legit for the for as much as I know. He's been making legit money. He's a he's a freaking he's a mogul, technically. So niggas, street owner, writer, philanthropist. So street niggas was literally upset that apparently Gucci gave out a statement of that, oh, that, oh, or probably possibly admitted to being a witness of a kidnapping. Meanwhile, he has off-duty police officers with him. So you think that, oh, a street nigga and some police officers was gonna hold it down and not snitch or give a statement? Uh before you say anything, you know what this all told me? It's like I thought like kids were like all innocent that believed that, oh, like, oh, they think Santa is real. It's like niggas, street niggas gotta be the dumbest niggas on this planet to really believe that, like, oh, Gucci Man is not supposed to give a statement as a mogul.

SPEAKER_02 39:50

I I I I think I don't care what line of work you do, I don't care if you rob banks. The goal is to walk away and make it home safe. One thousand. I don't care if you work for McDonald's or you kill niggas, you go on drills, the goal is at the end of the day, to go back home to your family or to a safe place. Street niggas will tell you that. So the fact that you think this nigga built an empire, have a white fat home, have small kids, haven't been in serious trouble since he last got released from jail a few years ago. I haven't even given a parking ticket. So it's like you don't this nigga literally been promoting fitness and and and wellness and positivity for the longest, and you think this nigga wanted to deal with this ghetto shit? No. And I feel good, I feel bad for Gucci because Gucci has a soft spot for niggas like Pooh Shistie. It's like he sees the potential in you and he just sees where you kind of kind of went wrong. It's like you had no other choice, so you had to choose the streets. Hey, you have a story, here's a mic, here's some money, come share your story this way, do it in a legit way. And for you to turn around to attack and to trying to hurt somebody that gave you an opportunity, like it's crazy to me.

SPEAKER_01 41:14

And again, here's the thing there's lawyers, there's so many other ways this thing could have gone about this. There's cameras.

SPEAKER_02 41:24

Yes, there's cameras, there's witnesses. Bro, you could have hired a lawyer, you could have called that man, you could have took him to court, you could have gone to Atlantic, who you have a joint venture with. You could have actually bought out. You could nigga, I would have respected it if you went to Instagram and called him out for giving you a bad contract. But you doing that?

SPEAKER_00 41:46

And and you know what's my my gripe with street niggas on the internet? Look, can we listen? If we disagree on a lot of things, let's agree on one thing: the streets and the internet should never mix. No. Because there's so much niggas giving advice saying that, oh, we're disappointed in Gucci. I keep seeing the stupid ass video he's a taxpaying civilian. I keep seeing the same old video of like uh, I guess when Vlad interviewed Gucci back in like the 2000s when Gucci said, I'll never snitch, I'll never snitch, I'll do this and that. That's not snitching. No, no, no. It's not even it's not even that. Gucci in that video is in his 20s, he's almost 50 years old with a whole family and a career. What the hell do you expect? I'm seeing all these street niggas apologize, oh, Atlanta Down, Atlanta down. I'm seeing niggas like Tax Stone that has a podcast in jail giving advice. Meanwhile, Tax Stone, you are in jail.

SPEAKER_01 42:40

No disrespect. Yes, holy shit. I see why women want the podcast mics to go away. Man is audio better than us.

SPEAKER_00 42:52

But it's like I I've been just, I'm sorry, black people let me down this this past week. When it comes to the nigga shit, like I was let down a lot. Because I I really do believe that street niggas think. If you think that niggas shouldn't snitch at 50, that means you still believe that Santa Claus isn't um is real.

SPEAKER_02 43:08

Just be real. Yeah, I think I think it was a lot of, but but at the end of the day, like, bro, the man got a family, the man is living a legit life. He's not in the street, so he doesn't have to abide by street rules. Exactly. I'm I'm a business owner. You're not you're not pleased with the contract. Okay, hire a legal team since you getting money and you rich and you flexing this and that. Niggas always got money until it's time to get a lawyer. I never understood that. Let's let's let's stay on money. Let's what's the next topic?

SPEAKER_01 43:40

Speaking of money, offset. Why allegedly are you borrowing money from a nigga that's twice your fucking uh 10 years older than me?

SPEAKER_02 43:53

You you borrowing money from a young nigga that could be your son, almost. Why? Going right what's what's the story? What's the story? Allegedly, uh, well, there's been rumors that offset have a bad gambling habit. Uh Selena Powell tried to expose him in a few podcasts. A lot of people are running around here saying that he's broke, you know, and he's not making as much money as he used to, because I think he's independent or has a joint venture now to release his music. He's no longer signed to quality control. Correct. I think he's signed under Motown. Some somewhere, but somewhere, but I think it's most likely Motown. But his music has been fire lately. He's been getting gigs. So I didn't think that he was down bad to the point where you would be asking a nigga that you probably almost 20 years older than some money to borrow. And on top of that, have animosity towards it. So allegedly, offset was down bad. He was at a casino, borrowed some money from Lil TJ, and Lil TJ has been after his money for a long time, and offset has been docking dodging him. So they ran into each other, a fight broke out, offset got the bad end of the stick, ended up at the hospital. You know, Lil TJ got arrested, and he got caught fucking walking out, making a kind of like a neutral statement, but we kind of can see who got the better of who.

SPEAKER_00 45:19

Yeah, it didn't get statement.

SPEAKER_02 45:21

And uh, yeah, man, and it's just it's it's it's it's nigga shit. It is sad to see.

SPEAKER_00 45:27

So, well, I'll say like what yeah. How do you feel about this shit? The thing is, like, with offset is like, I understand niggas got their vices. I'm not here to judge anybody. And the thing is, like, with offset, offset kind of reminds me of like the situation. Obviously, I'm not comparing him exactly like the person, but you saw the Diddy doc, right? It was very clear that Diddy owns, he has a lot of money, he has a lot of wealth, he has a lot of property. So when it comes down to like him like saying, like asking people for money or doing a favor and never return it, he can return the money, he can he can do the favor, but he kind of like likes the feeling of like, oh, somebody keeps coming back to him wanting something from him, pretty much. So offset was kind of moving around, like, I don't think offset is broke in no way, shape, or form. Just off his freaking, his not even his ex-wife, his current wife. He's still making money off her, I'm sure. So it's like, I think that like offset is like kind of like one of those dudes where it's like, hey, I'm gonna ask you for some money, but I'm just not gonna get it back. And like, like he literally DM'd Lil TJ, oh, if you want it back, get it back in blood. He's like one of them niggas that's like kind of has that bully mindset where it's like, hey, I don't have to pay you back, pretty much. And I'm not saying it's right for sure, because I I know street niggas that really act like that, where it's like, that's why it's like, oh, we we've even dealt with some of our guests that kind of be like, oh, yeah, I'll I'll pay you to come on the show, this and that, and we never get the money. Knowing damn well, they got the money, but they just want to always feel like they have a one-up on us.

SPEAKER_02 46:51

Yeah. Um, this is why it's so important to not only surround yourself by people your age, but people that want the best for you. And I'm not trying to come on some high moral, like I have friends that are criminals as we speak. I have friends that are college graduates. And and I have corporate friends, I got hood friends, I got friends from all circles in life. But at the same time, I know where to be, who to be with, and where to avoid all at once. That's me. And if even if that slipped my mind, I have people like Gary that will literally be on the phone with me while I'm somewhere I'm not supposed to be, and be like, Cheese, you know it's two o'clock in the morning. What are you doing at that spot? I know you're hungry, but you know you could get shot over there. What are you doing? So I got people in my corner that love me that could kind of steer me away from that. But I think realistically, the divorce, the exposure, the embarrassment. Yeah, just the second hand, just the second hand guilt from everything that has happened to him. Again, men, men, if they don't process the hurt, it kind of like seeps out in other ways of your life. Like a gambling addiction don't just start out of nowhere. You either start small and it got super bad, or something is triggering you to keep blowing your money. Like, even niggas that is is heavy into it, like some niggas have lost their families, their homes due to gambling. So, dog, give that young nigga his money back. You feel me? And and and just just stay as an ad like remain an adult, behave like an adult. You should be in that nigga corner giving him advice, giving him financial advice, but you partying at the same club as him, you in the same casino as him, probably chasing the same bitch as him. Like, when when are we gonna have that conversation? Same thing we fucking based Jim Jones about, it's damn near what offset is doing.

SPEAKER_00 48:49

But the thing is, like, with like someone like a little TJ and offset, where it's like they both make a good amount of money. Not saying I don't know, I don't know how much money they get, but they make more money than the average person for sure. And the type of music they make, you would swear they got it. So them going back and forth, someone being shot over ten thousand dollars, where I'm pretty sure they throw that in the freaking strip club with ease. It's like it looks bad on both parties. Not saying who looks worse, but it's like offset. I know you got 10 racks. Lil' TJ, I know you got 10. They're probably spending 10 racks as we're recording this as we speak. Perfect.

SPEAKER_02 49:21

It's perfect. And and more importantly, offset, you got kids. Is 10,000 enough for you to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your fucking life?

SPEAKER_00 49:32

And you're talking about also with kids. Lil' TJ, you've been shot before. So why are we hearing your name along with bullets again?

SPEAKER_02 49:39

Yeah, that's it's it's nigga shit. It's annoying. Uh I get it together, man. Get it together. Surround yourself with people your age and people that give a fuck about you. Because these rappers, they get these circles of yes men, you feel me? And and and and literally they they they they getting treated like the Pope, so nobody really gets to pull them to the side and like have a real conversation with them. But yeah, have some real niggas in your circle, man. That's that's all I gotta say about that, man. I agree. That's it. I'm gonna sound like the old head right now, but I'm gonna say, back in my day, when prom season was around, Gary, I just wanted a cool suit and a nice car. Preferably my uncle's car or my mom's car. Like, or I would rent, you know, remember limousines? Remember limousines. So it used to be like a group of friends, you know, we all got our dates, and we rent a car, or our parents rent the car, and we take turns picking up our dates, you feel me, and we gonna go to prom. It used to be like, it used to be uh the theatrics used to come with it, you know, the proposal during lunch or at school and getting the girl and getting the colors together and getting the fly jacket, and she's her dress is matching your fucking shit. It used to be this whole wholesome thing. Nowadays, prom is a production. Prom is the madgala. I literally have seen niggas younger than me whipping a Maybach truck to prom. I've seen niggas younger than me whipping a Ferrari, whipping a McLaren, whipping a Rolls Royce to prom. One, I know you're not old enough or experienced enough to drive that car. For sure. Two, if something happens, you're not gonna be a you're not gonna be able to afford to fix it. And number three, what happened to fun? What happened to the the just the thrill of being outside past your usual curfew, having fun and potentially getting some ass that night? I feel like niggas put so much emphasis on drip that, bro, the niggas are making it more of a production than the women. Like I've seen the young girls, oh my god, I get to wear a nice dress, I get my my hair done and my lashes, and but the niggas have a style. I know kids that gotta stylist for prom. And I'm not hating. I support it. Because I know it's gonna fall back on your parents, but it's just like for the parents, it's like, are you willing to go in debt to get your kid like a fucking Tom Ford blazer for prom?

SPEAKER_00 52:22

Fam.

SPEAKER_02 52:23

Like, what's going on? Am I the only one seeing this shit on my social media?

SPEAKER_00 52:27

I I'll be the hater. I'm gonna flat out say I hate these prom rollouts. I really hate it. Sorry if I sound like Uncle Ruckus or anything, but there's some when I see these prom rollouts, it just reminds me of the shit black people as a community we gotta do better. We put too much energy in these prom rollouts. We we put too much energy into baby showers. Like, how about the money that y'all spending for these get-togethers or all these gatherings? How about you put that same rollout in the fucking graduation? How about you put that same energy into a freaking college tuition? College tuition, or how about you put it into a wedding? Or how about this? Like, oh, you said a child.

SPEAKER_01 53:05

Are you going there?

SPEAKER_00 53:07

Like, us as a people, we gotta do better, bro. Because we literally, I'm seeing all these rollouts of people route riding up in these foreigns, rolling up in these LV tailored suits and whatever. And it's like, yo, fam, do you even know if the nigga that we freaking all gathering up to see his prom rollout, is he graduating?

SPEAKER_02 53:27

Valid points. Valid points. My my thing is too, like, when I went to prom, like, I was just excited to be out late night with the girl that I wanted. I realistically, I wanted to go party after prom and potentially get some ass. That was my end goal. I'm like, damn, it's a night, a school night, technically, a school event that I get to stay past midnight at, and I get to link with my niggas and be on bullshit for the rest of the night. I'm sold. You feel me? But nowadays, it's like, bro, like these niggas, it's a production. And on top of that, to piggyback off your point with just the parents being responsible, I think, especially for black people, we put too much emphasis on looking rich than actually being rich. So it's like, bro, you spending four grand on your for your son to, and this is not towards the girl dads, because I know this is like women dream about those things, and the most she probably gonna spend on is probably the dress or the hair or the makeup or the whole nine. For for girls, girls, you got that. You feel me? Because that's something meaningful for them. It's a core memory, whatever. But for the niggas, I know why y'all doing this shit. I know why y'all doing this shit. I know your little weed money didn't buy this. I know you corny. You had it, it's it's too much. It's too much. It's corny, it's too much, and like you said, let's focus on graduating, let's focus on getting enrolled in college, and then we could celebrate. How about we do a college acceptance party? Let's see more of those. That is a graduate party. Like, I I wanna I wanna get to that, man. But again, I know it's gonna sound like the two old heads sitting back because we we unk status now. It's gonna make it sound like we hating. Oh, oh, when you have you gonna have that crowd of people. When you have a kid, you'll see. Wait till you have a kid, and say, bro, I get it. But at the same time, bro, we got real bills to take care of, bro. I I I I don't follow the trends. Like, I don't, I'm not one of those people that like follow what everybody is doing. Like, my son wanna go to prom. Okay, you got a date, son. Okay, I could let you get my car, I could rent you something nice, but make sure you're back at this time, this and that. Treat the girl right, make sure she gets home, and that's it. I don't, I'm not doing the theatrics.

SPEAKER_00 55:51

I knew the game was fucked up when freaking these YNs was shitting on men's warehouse.

unknown 55:56

Damn.

SPEAKER_02 55:57

SPEAKER_02 56:08

Nigga, I think for me, I got my for for my for my prom, I think I got a jacket from Sears.

SPEAKER_01 56:15

Yes, Sears used to be a thing, and Sears used to be open. I think there's like two locations left in the world.

SPEAKER_02 56:24

I think I got uh uh I and C suit, a baby blue suit from Sears. I got some um Bro, I'm tired of your Haitians in these bright ass suits, bro. I had some white pants and I had some Air Forces. And I thought I was the flyest nigga in there. You feel me? Ty Dollar side and some of uh the shit he had uh with Bobby and uh BOB was out. Uh I got two of my visions in the club. It was a vibe. I think I asked my my favorite girl at the time to go with me. I think I had two dates for prom. I ended up I gotta turn down twice for prom. Nah, I had I had some emotion. I had some emotion in high school.

SPEAKER_01 57:02

Um I'm gonna send the camp.

SPEAKER_00 57:12

I'm gonna get a phone call about this.

SPEAKER_02 57:15

I'm not capping, I promise you. I had two. I I could we could bleep their names if you want. But yeah, I I had a good time. And I I think kids, yo, enjoy your youth, have fun, go out there, explore the world, do as much as you can, be involved in as many clubs as you can. Figure out your identity now, focus on developing as a kid because you're gonna go to college, you're gonna worry about who you wanna be, what you wanna do. And some of y'all are not even gonna go to college. You might have a different path. For what it's worth, have fun, have a good time. Don't focus too much on drip and all that extra shit that you're not gonna give a fuck about five years from now. Yeah, learn something. Save your money, more importantly. Yes. What do you go about, man? Uh, I go by the name of Cheech, aka Ohead. AKA, we they gonna kill us for this uh aka man. We'll be back after Gary gets his honeymoon uh over with.
