Speaker 2:That DVD era man. See the thing, bro, you came up in that DVD era man Go ahead.
Speaker 2:I never had the opportunity to get the shelves movies, seasons of shows, all that shit on streaming service. That shit had to click on the button. But at the same time that's like to me growing up that was dope Seeing everybody different collections from my momma shit, my brother shit. Different family members had their own little collection. You know what I'm saying. But when I came in, when I came up, man, I ain't got no damn DVD. Nobody even got a DVD player in the mall.
Speaker 1:Man who you know what my DVD players are? My PlayStation, yeah. My Xboxes, yeah, my God don't. Who that? Hey, the DVD collection comes in clutch. I mean clutch.
Speaker 2:Right now, hey, who you telling.
Speaker 1:Hey man, when they pull out that door on DVD with the writing on it the bootleg, but what's your?
Speaker 2:problem. Let's, let's. Where is the bootleg man at now? What?
Speaker 1:Shoot everybody in the bootleg's having it.
Speaker 2:You gotta be selling dope man. That was, that was an era. When you come into the barbershop, you get a fresh fade. You get a fresh fade, a bootleg man, come in with new drops.
Speaker 1:See. But the thing is, bro, you gotta understand, during that era I'm not going to tell you too much, because back in the day I used to sell DVDs hey, I ain't even gonna hold you, man, because it used to we used to go take trips to Atlanta, to the West End, and when I talk about the West 10, we're talking about the West End. If you don't know how to keep your head on the swivel and don't know that you need to fill up your gas tank before you get there, we got certain things that going on.
Speaker 2:One of those areas where, if you don't know nobody over there, you don't go. You don't go over there. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:That's like shoot man. Hey man, I tell you the funniest story.
Speaker 1:But um hey, since I've changed my life around this is a story that a lot of people don't know Back when I was a little bit younger this is this will tell y'all me versus me I used to sell purses. I used to go down to old national by purses and take them back to where I lived and sold purses Like Louis Vuitton that y'all be rocking. Those got no, um, just different things, but I remember going up there one day spending $800. Yeah, I'm not going to tell y'all which individuals that y'all have to deal with when y'all go there, but this is what I say.
Speaker 1:Man I can't stand them. They try to fast talk you. They try to got to on swindle you, they try to get over on you. But you got to understand the lingo in the situation. But you also got to understand to keep your head on the swivel because the same way you over there buying stuff, there's Jack boys out there to watch you. Also them jokeers will watch you, take stuff to your car and will follow you to rob you.
Speaker 2:For sure.
Speaker 1:Um, so I went up there and spent like $800. You don't go there with no nice car, you go there with a book, like a on the blend in with right right, A little hound, a little hondo.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Um, because when my partners went up there one time, bro, he was taking stuff back to his car, boom, boom, boom, buying it, taking back to his car the most messed up part about it. They called a skid truck to come get his car and took the whole car. Remind you, he had an old school sitting on some 24s and they took the whole entire car.
Speaker 2:Well, they got a tow truck to take your shit. Yes, man, the Jack boys done got a tow truck to take your whole whip. You come out the mall, your shit gone. Yes, and you want to other side of town.
Speaker 1:Well, you're in the wrong side of town, but that but that's. That shows you how you got to move, because a lot of people come to the city. We can well, let me let it form y'all. We call the city Atlanta brown from. We just say amen, I'm going to the city. Um, because when you're up there you got to watch out for the water boys. If you downtown Atlanta, you got to watch out for them. Little young kids riding on around on school, because them little young jokers at 10 o'clock at night riding around on them got on them. Little birds the birds cool. Oh, they'll get you. If you don't have your head on the swivel. If you don't, you ain't packing.
Speaker 2:Oh, they're going to get you this. This is uh, this is not the gentrified Atlanta that we know today.
Speaker 1:Oh no, gentrified Atlanta will still get you, I don't care how gentrified it will. You take your butt over to the West end, or MLK?
Speaker 2:Well, any MLK, come on man, any MLK you're going to get got. But but I'm just saying, like old Atlanta versus Atlanta, now no, it ain't. It's definitely gentrified Like, for you was down there playing, you was down there going to get stuff, like Jody. Yeah pretty much you was. You was baby boy, but you got to understand, but you understand what that's.
Speaker 1:What by any means necessary? I mean, I've been paying child support for God knows how many years, but you got to understand when child support is broken down. You got 100% of your paycheck. Each case is able to take 27% up to 27% Right. So if they hit you the first time, you getting hit 100% of that 27%. So that means you down to 73%, right. So if you get another case put on you, what do you think they're going to gauge it off of? I don't know what to say. 73 you have 73% of your paycheck left man, what's 100 minus 27?
Speaker 1:Bro 27, 73 am I not doing?
Speaker 2:a memory yes, I am 27 minus 27 is 73.
Speaker 1:Well, hey, if y'all don't know, chance of poor out is calculated.
Speaker 2:Trying to check my math I already told y'all a little bad at math.
Speaker 1:Bro, my math is on point. Right, my math is on point. My math, be mathin homie. Hey, remember triple being dreams. Remember that we don't listen to GZ for no reason, are you right? You're right so boom so so this is this is what you got to understand about child support.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So now you got 73% right.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:You get another case thrown on you. What do you think they gonna hit you with?
Speaker 2:Same. Thing.
Speaker 1:Another 27%. What do you have left?
Speaker 2:I told y'all about that 43%, 46%.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:But you got like four kids bro.
Speaker 1:Bro, I got five.
Speaker 2:Now you got okay. I got back, back when you was on your baby boy shit, you was on your Jody shit. You had how many?
Speaker 1:two or three, I mean it's like it's the marathon, bro, it's the marathon I mean you got to think about it how many you had. Two.
Speaker 2:Two.
Speaker 1:Okay. Then it got worse when I had. So, if y'all don't know, I got five kids. If y'all don't know, I'm a two of my oldest two boys. I'm a full-time dad. My oldest two boys live with me, 17 and 15. Then I have a daughter that's 10. Then I have Kennedy, which is four, and I have dude, which is four also. Yeah, I had those same year babies, so I was out. You, I'm dropping dick off.
Speaker 2:I'm dropping dick off.
Speaker 1:I do not condone. Yes, I was living reckless, I made some bad decisions when I was younger.
Speaker 2:But you was on. You know what I mean. You were on your survival mode shit. Yeah, I was surviving, and like when we was talking about on the last episode, man is what you got to do?
Speaker 1:to survive.
Speaker 2:To survive and then like that's that's a story of your upbringing. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Like but you got to understand. Even even when I was in survival mode, man, my biggest concern was taking care of my kid.
Speaker 2:No, that's always a concern as a parent, for sure.
Speaker 1:Because I mean you got other Jody's out here that don't take care of their responsibilities and go this way and that way. In the third, like mine, shoot man. Hey, they gonna know daddy, if daddy don't can't do it, daddy gonna find a way. If I got to work overtime now, it is what it is.
Speaker 2:If you going to the Weston. I ain't never been over that, bro. I don't think I'm ever gonna have to go over that. I'm good over that Because I don't know, like I said, I'm from where I'm from. You don't know. Nobody over there. Don't go over that.
Speaker 1:Bro, when I was going over that bro, if y'all didn't know, I'm also a military veteran, so when I was going to Augusta, there's a certain area that we used to hang out in, but the military would tell us we're not allowed to hang in those areas. It's called the bottom, so you had to earn your stripes down in the bottom, like where you would see dudes walking around with AK shotguns, stuff like that in the bottom. That's what a lot of people don't know about the bottom. You will get killed down in Atlanta. Females will jack you down in Atlanta.
Speaker 2:Oh, speaking of that Bro.
Speaker 1:I had a homeboy that I went to Atlanta with. He thought he was being asleep just at the third man with some girl Shoot on. I think it was something.
Speaker 2:Bad page.
Speaker 1:Nah, bro, I don't think it was a bad page. I think we were going to Harlem nights, harlem nights, and next thing you know, he said he was going to the hotel, whatever it was. You know what to do. And next thing, I know he called me from a pay phone. Bro, the dude is. You got Rob. The females are robbing Her and two of her home girls robbed him and stripped him down to his drawers.
Speaker 2:That is crazy, bro, but I mean that's crazy, but that shit will happen to you, bro.
Speaker 1:But I mean, how do you, how do you not slip in your pimping? I mean, you got to keep your head on the swivel, but that got, so goes back to trust out here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he had that box on his mind. What do you think?
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, bro, it's more the life than just trying to get some box, because in my mind, yes, some people, that's all they're motivated by, that's all they move for. But sometimes you gotta take the time and slow up, because I ain't gonna hold you, bro, if you trying to give me shit too fast you gonna be suspicious, Bro.
Speaker 2:I'm scared.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something up, I'm scared. What you trying to give me? What you trying to give me, you either trying to get me raw, or you trying to give me the pack, or you trying to give me the ABCs.

Like, I remember when I was growing up one of my he wasn't my blood uncle, but we used to call him but he talking about some black shit, y'all getting up there in age but just got them dip your finger in your ear and got them put that thing down. Now I said what's that doing? But, if she got them, that mean she burning Whoa. Wait a minute what?

Speaker 2:Hey, listen man, if a big guy, if a big guy, bad hygiene, you can't cover that up with no, no, bath and body works, Nah, if, if that box stank.
Speaker 1:Bro, you know, when your box stank, it's gonna stank, bro, cause I ain't I ain't gonna hold you Period.
Speaker 2:If you stank man Bro, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you something. This is a funny I used to. I used to work in a plant, also, bro. The plant used to get to like during the summertime. It used to get to 120, 130 degrees. Bro, when I man, who man? If I ain't use, secret the odor in between my thighs, bro, bro, I'm walking out of that mug like I'm in an old Western.
Speaker 2:One, one one. You was at the plantation for real, bro.
Speaker 1:Bro, bro, cause I used to work in a plastic plant. Oh, plantation, like, bro, like like this, go on my phone. That came from. That came from plastic. They used to come out at 300 or something degrees, bro, shit, and you up there drilling holes, catching it on your hand, it, popping you on the neck. But I mean they were paying decent. But I came out of there one day, bro, I sat down, bro, that heat might have swooped my face, bro, I said, oh my God. I said my nuts smell horrible. I'm small, bro, you know when your balls smell bad, like straight up, Nah you know, when you stank man, you can feel it.
Speaker 2:Bro, what you talking about bro.
Speaker 1:I remember times when, like, hey, I don't know how many of y'all did have done this and don't laugh at me. You know you musty, but you go to the bathroom and take the soap, dismiss the soap and rub it under your arms and try to wash yourself up.
Speaker 2:Nah, that's just your shit. You took a whole bath at work. Now what no?
Speaker 1:man, bro, bro, what To do, what you gotta do so nobody don't smell you Bro. Yes, I will go take a whole bath.
Speaker 2:Amen, fuck it, man. You gotta do what you gotta do, bro. But you gotta do what you gotta do, man. That's crazy.
Speaker 1:But that's one of the tactics, because you gotta think about it. I don't want nobody talking about me to my late.
Speaker 2:Boy, you should think about it. Right right, niggas stank man. You know how to nigga jack. Niggas stank your fuck man what?
Speaker 1:Because I know a couple man. I know some dudes I don't work with before. Bro, when they walk past you it's like boom, they hit you with a whole boom.
Speaker 2:And that's my thing, man. Listen, I got some weight on me, man. I ain't no skinny dude, big dudes. If you are listening, please do your best not to be stank. I'm not one of them dudes. But I'll never forget I was in the sixth grade, bro. I say this shit all the time. It's why I take pride in my hygiene, especially when I have a female over a company period, because of this one incident in my life, I mean in sixth grade, this girl that I like had a crush on. We had lunch. I'm sitting close to them but not with them. I can hear that conversation and this girl just goes that up tucks. I hate when a nigga stank, but fat niggas always stank. I'm like damn, that's disrespectful.
Speaker 2:That's disrespectful but at the same time you show. I'm never stank.
Speaker 1:But that's like I try to tell my kids man Bro, don't be that kid, you will never live a damn.
Speaker 2:You will go to your high school graduation. Stank stank man, you will go to your 20th year reunion.
Speaker 1:You will never be stank. Stank, Ain't you the little boy used to stank?
Speaker 2:in the classroom. Yeah, then you ought to be stank as hell back in the day. Man, what Hell no. Boy you the came up a long way from there. Huh, fuck that, that shit was not going down for me, bro. That shit, let me tell y'all a funny.
Speaker 1:Let me tell you a funny thing. Let me tell y'all a funny story, though. I remember I was in the eighth grade and my momma, my momma, my momma went and bought me some Wranglers Right Jeans. Yes, bro, some Wrangler jeans, or was it from Route 66? I can't remember.
Speaker 2:When was you in the eighth grade?
Speaker 1:You remember the year man?
Speaker 2:90s.
Speaker 1:Late 90s.
Speaker 2:Late 90s. Okay, yeah, and I was in April 18, out of the year 2011. Yeah, in the Schwaggster.
Speaker 1:But the crazy part about it is bro. So they were all black jeans, they were. Every last pair of them were black. People want me like four pairs of black, same brand, same design, the whole thing. Jeans, bro. Them kids picking me so bad, tell my son, but you in the same jeans every day of the week? Nah, man, I got the same pair, bro. Man, I'd never live that down for like two years bro.
Speaker 2:So I can sympathize with you on that, because I had to do that. When I tell you had me in the tenth grade, this is back when I was living in Miami, right? So I'm going to high school in Miami. The dress code there at my high school, south Racine High, I'm thinking you know it's not like Georgia where you can wear what you want. Right, you know they still got dress codes. You gotta be appropriate, but wear what you want.
Speaker 1:Well, I got a story for you. I'm sorry to cut you off. I got a story for you about dress codes Go ahead.
Speaker 2:So there you got. You have to wear a polo polo is polo shirt khaki. You can wear jeans. You can wear black, like you had to wear the school color, but the only other color was khaki. So the polos had to be red, gray, white or black. So that year, you know, school about to start, you go school shopping. My mom bought me some Isaac polos white, gray, black, red, right Kids at the school that I was, you know, I was on school with in my class, really really all grades man, they was wearing goddamn polo, they was fresh with it.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying my dudes, they had a bread like that.
Speaker 1:But hey, bruh, I saw a dope, dope bruh.
Speaker 2:I thought I was straight. I thought it was straight, it was little eyes are in you know. My whole thing was I'm going to try to coordinate, you know, because I'm just leaving. I got back to Miami. I moved back down there when I was in the ninth grade. So for two years, the last two years of being in middle school I was in Maine man.
Speaker 1:To me that was crucial.
Speaker 2:My mom wanted to start a better breakfast. Man Shout out to mom man, she wanted to be an entrepreneur, but she had me living in Maine. Now, maine is nothing but white people right?
Speaker 1:So my drip was not Was based off that.
Speaker 2:It wasn't based off that, but I wasn't where I was supposed to be.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you feel me.
Speaker 2:Me as long as I got a Nike check on me. I'm swear, that's what I'm talking about, because what they wearing? They wearing American Eagle Air Apostles.
Speaker 1:That's a Travis Porter years, wasn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was a swag era, but up there there wasn't no swag era.
Speaker 1:That's the white boy swag.
Speaker 2:So I come down there with looking crazy man. I was looking crazy, bro, I can tell you right now I was, but what I slapped myself. For real, I was looking crazy. So now, 10th grade man, I'm trying to get into my drip era. Let me get the eyes on. Let me just coordinate, because I can't get the polo. You know what I mean? First semester tell me why this shit shrunk, bro, when they washed. I thought nobody would notice, bro, until I was in fucking art class and this nigga seen her like hey, james, why your shirt so tight? Tight ass shirt when they getting on me right.
Speaker 2:But it's like man, I don't know, like just getting on me, find me a whole day, everybody was getting on me. You want to try that fuck boy? What the fuck Boy? You a tripp boy. You a tripp boy. What you shout out?
Speaker 2:Man, I went home. What can I do? Hey, ma, I need to get some more shirts. This is the first semester. Anybody you know more shirts. You got those shirts going in, right? Hey, I know, I just bought you this. So now I'm like, fuck, what am I going to do? I'm like, cool, I might, I might have to just run back nice gray shirts. But for some reason, bro, like I don't know man it was, I know some people like, man, you just gained weight. Nah, man, them shit shrunk like a motherfucker, right. So I said, okay, I got these sweatshirts. We in Miami dog is hot and I got to walk the school. I'm going to have to run back these sweatshirts. It's either get roasted all the time for being the big dude who always wears some tight shit, or then I think it's just always wearing that sweatshirt.
Speaker 1:You ready for this one?
Speaker 2:I just had to. I just had to, bro. I wore the same sweatshirt, the same two couple sweatshirts, because I had the rock school colors. It was either black or gray. I had to do that for a whole year, bro. I said I'd rather be known for that than the tight. It's kind of like them. Either way, I'm getting it. You feel me? I could come back from wearing a sweatshirt, Ain't no coming back from being the nigga that all his shirts and shit tight.
Speaker 1:Bro, I got one for you, ready for this. So I went to the middle school. They had a dress code but it was laxed. But the crazy part about it is my mama and her mind is like it's easier for you to wear the dress code than me going out and buying you clothes Okay, whatever. But I had like after school clothes or weekend clothes and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got your outside clothes.
