And we are back with another episode of Two for the Culture. I'm Justin Devante, I'm Steven Wright. Yes, sir, we're here. How you feeling? I'm feeling good man Feeling good. That's great to hear.
Speaker 2:You know, take a little break. Yeah, take a little break.
Speaker 1:Got revitalized and you know new format, you know plan things out, so hopefully we get a lot better.
Speaker 2:Yeah. No, it's going to get better every time. So I'm really excited about today. We have a, you know, like a little set thing, so we're trying it out and yeah.
Speaker 1:Just ready to see how it goes right, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I really have hopes. I think it will be successful. Yeah, how's the last couple of weeks been for you?
Speaker 2:Last couple of weeks. Yeah, think I just I just slowed down, like going out and stuff. Yeah, I feel like I went super hard and crazy and just like, like I'm gonna go here. Here I went like four places in one day, one time the next day three, the next day four. Like yeah, comedy show this kaya's played it that and I just gotta chill, so but I'm very happy about that. What about you?
Speaker 1:um, my last couple weeks it's been fairly the same, you know, working the full-time job and doing uber um I don't think there's much in the new. What I do, you you know, just constantly working. You know, sometimes I feel like I do work for everybody else but me. Uh huh.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I just cause, I look about, I look at things and I realize like I don't really do much for myself, Like what, what would you do for yourself? Like um, would you do for yourself?
Speaker 2:Like Go outside. You looked out like you were in jail. Nah, I was just watching. I'd like to see the sunshine.
Speaker 1:Nah, I was just watching somebody walk the dog. Oh yeah, yeah yeah, so what I do for myself?
Speaker 2:you ask yeah, like what is that?
Speaker 1:I listen to podcasts. You know I yeah, like little things like you know working out, you know enjoy food, obviously, but like real things like I'll go to like TJ Maxx or Marshalls every once in a while and get a shirt.
Speaker 2:You're just saying like you just want to do that for yourself.
Speaker 1:No, I'm just saying that's kind of the extent of what I do for myself now.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it like you want to do more?
Speaker 1:No, a little bit. You know I don't have the income to really do more. Yeah, I would love to do more, but you know, of course, in the midst of paying off debt and doing other things, but everything is not cheap, so just just things that come, you know, around and I was like dang, hopefully this really does, I'm sure it'll pay off, hopefully it does. Yeah, like, yeah, just things that come up. It's like oh, this thousand dollar bill just came, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, hey, you gotta, you gotta pay this and like, and then some of it's completely my doing like, yeah, little things. Like, well, now, yeah, yeah, something you know, past financial um, bad decision that I thought was going to be and which wasn't really bad, um, and but nonetheless, the bill comes due at some point. Yeah, yeah. And then you gotta uh, realize that in the moment when you know I saw the biggest success from it.
Speaker 2:I should have actually. I think it sorry.
Speaker 1:There we go.
Speaker 2:I'm back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I saw the biggest success from it is when I should have started paying down on things.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But so some of it's me. But it's not like I'm in a miserable spot, it's just something I thought about. I was like dang, even the family reunion, I'm going on. It's not that I true, I like I would love to go, but it's not like I truly have a desire and can't wait to go. I'm really going because my mother wants me to be there. You know what I mean. Like it's not like I'm dreading it, yeah, but you know, but I'm not really looking forward to it because it's another thing that I have to pay for the cousins ain't hitting like that you said the, what I said the cousins oh no no, yeah, yeah, I love everybody.
Speaker 1:It's just, it's just another thing you know like, yeah, yeah, but so it's so, it's just another task and expense that I have to um pay for, and it's just that kind of drains it. Yeah, maybe because I don't got it like that yeah, and maybe that's a part of it.
Speaker 2:Probably is smart.
Speaker 1:Yeah, stress or added to everything yeah yeah, but it was just something I observed. I was like dang, I really you know, because I've been talking about getting a massage forever uh-huh yeah, yeah, yeah. But then you know, as soon as I feel like I have freedom, yeah, there's something that comes up like well, I gotta, I got to wait another month.
Speaker 2:Tire falls off on the way to the massage place.
Speaker 1:Exactly Like just yeah, yeah, did you say the tire on purpose?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, yeah, because what was that last week? Yeah, I had a flat tire. Yeah, yeah, you're just going to Kroger and you heard the hissing sound.
Speaker 2:I was like ah, of course.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So I had to get the tow truck guy out here to move the car because I wound up driving home looking homeless as hell. Well, obviously not homeless, but driving the car a flat home.
Speaker 2:You're hearing it grind Two miles per hour.
Speaker 1:Exactly, I had that.
Speaker 2:A little bit of traffic in Nashville today.
Speaker 1:Everybody's hearing it grind staring at me, I'm just petting like a 70-year-old man Come on, I can't do anything staring at me and I'm just you know better like a 70 year old man, come on uh, I can't do anything your hands out the window yeah, and then the the guy's like well, you know, this one has insurance, luckily, but you know, the other one that you hit is like on a bird on the verge of um blowing out too uh-huh and then you might as well get the, because you got the back to replace, because, keep in mind, I drive the tesla, so because it goes quick, the back tires is what feels like the velocity, so they burn out quicker right right yeah, so so those all need to be replaced quickly, in all things considered.
Speaker 1:And then the front two not as much. Of course, you get rotations, blah, yada, yada, but so the front two need to be replaced Definitely. If I was going to do the right one, I might as well have did the left one, because that was the only one that was, you know, fine, but you still probably need to get it replaced just to keep it in line with everything else. Right, yeah, so so that was another thing, you know? Yeah, yeah, that wasn't a deal breaker, but it just adds on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah bill was due. That was like. It was like well, I can't get that massage. And then it was this again so it's just like little things pile on yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1:So, um, on top top of literally everything you know because you want to make, I want to make sure that my student loans in order, because I'm seeing when I do like the financial analysis stuff, I'm seeing when I'm looking through people's applications, but those student loans, yeah, destroy people's credit and and I've been hearing several cases amongst my friends like, hey, those student loans are you?
Speaker 1:know coming back around due. Yeah, and people was like overnight from like 700 to 560. Yeah, yeah, right, right, right, yeah, and so I want to make sure I'm on top of that stuff too. Yeah, yeah. So it's just like little things that add up to a bigger thing. So I was like, yeah, well, I'm just going to wait a little longer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that sucks. That's definitely for a lot of people, but I do feel like it's very important for us to take time out to do things that we love or need. I got to get back into filming, well, I mean, I started back with scripting and all that type of stuff, but like, yeah, I kind of feel that too if, like, I gotta do something for me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah so, but that was, that's on the forefront and I'm using a massage because that was I've never gotten like a professional massage, so I was like that's on the forefront and I'm using a massage, cause that was.
Speaker 1:I've never gotten like a professional massage before. So I was like that's the one of the things I'm looking forward to doing when I actually get a chance to. But you know, it's just going to take some time, cause I started a new job in February. You know, when I was just driving for uber I was doing other little things but I was making majority of my income and then coming from the winter to where I was suffering, like living off my savings, yeah, and barely getting by then. Now I got a new job and doing over on top of that. You know, on paper it looks great, yeah, yeah, but now it's just really kind of getting back some of the things I lost plus some of the things that I do. So now I'm at this kind of like trajectory, midpoint, but then it comes down and then it goes back, yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's just you know. Yeah, I took up a lot of time with that no.
Speaker 2:No, it's cool, but other things.
Speaker 1:Um, you know, I can't really complain. I'm actually literally in good place and I'm doing better than most. So who?
Speaker 2:am I really to complain about? There's definitely something I came across the other day. It's just like, um, you know, when whatever you're doing is always like somebody that's doing the worst yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and and so I'm actually probably blessed. You are yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But it's just, you know, it's just things like yeah, I see myself, I'm actually very, and it's a blessing that I can be helpful to others.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But you know it does come at a cost to myself For sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:All right, so let's, uh, let's just get to it yeah, yeah, you got something on your mind trending topics. I mean, some is probably yours too okay but you did hear about.
Speaker 2:Uh. Well, first of all, did you hear um, uh about. This happened like today, this is right, this is a random like spit out, uh, mclemore, his crib got robbed and all three of his kids were in there and the nanny was okay and the uh, the nanny was there while they were getting robbed and she was like sprayed with bear spray, dang, yeah. And then she said that, um, that one of the guy who who did it, or somebody he was trying to help her get it out and he looked scared, yeah, so I think there was one guy there's always the one guy who's like we're going to do this shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah right.
Speaker 2:The other guy who's like riding.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I think that's what happened. Yeah, you heard about the ice.
Speaker 1:I was really curious about the Macklemore, Like because that's weird.
Speaker 2:That's all I know about it. Oh yeah, yeah, that shit just happened, I think, today.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, yeah. So Macklemore, the rapper right, the one that talks about the thrift store.
Speaker 2:Yeah, gotta get down on, yeah, the thrift store, yeah, yeah, yeah the white, the white rapper, yeah, who won the grammy over kindred?
Speaker 1:uh-huh, yeah, okay, yeah, so all three of his kids were there. Hit the um lady got maced and so the other the main dude was just like all right, there's plenty of shit to get.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they were like, where's the jewelry, where's the this and that and um? And she told them and uh, yeah, it said they, they walked out with like thousands of dollars worth of stuff, but I don't know, usually it's like way more than that so I. I think it was like they didn't get that. I don't know if they felt accomplished when they left right, I'm sure they was hoping for a lot more. Right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, did you know? Well, I guess you would know. But I just look at situations like that and you know I don't know if this is going to come off as victim-limit but why is your house not secure?
Speaker 2:How secure can your house be?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that is, you can't kick in my shit.
Speaker 2:They broke in. They didn't like slide in the back window, they broke in there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I feel like if I'm worth millions and my kids are on safety and definitely we're hearing about I, keep in mind I, you know who knows, I, you know I want to make sure that I preface um, that you know, I'm like I said, I'm not trying to victim blame but I'm also trying to be like, okay, there's a lot of kid, there's a lot of situations to where a lot of famous people are having a lot of break-ins like this. So, you know, maybe having security will be like a focal point. Definitely my kids are, you know, my kids are in trouble and I realized like, hey, like I look at um security flaws in my own house, yeah, I'm like you know, this can easily somebody can throw a rock in here you know what I mean and then get in yeah yeah, but you're not gonna get much.
Speaker 1:But so somebody, if you're a homeowner and you wouldn't look at the little things like maybe I should get somebody to. You know, not only security cameras to alert me like a ring camera, but having like 24 hour security around my house, definitely my kids are, that's to say, but your kids will always be home until they're like fucking what 18 no, they always won't be home because you got vacation, so the security takes vacation when you.
Speaker 1:And then, not only that, if you're talking about I don't know his money, he, he may not have a lot, but he got enough to somebody want to break in it, you know. Yeah, so make having um paying fifty thousand dollars for one person and fifty thousand dollars a year for another, that you know for another, that's well worth $100,000 a year to run a clock in your house. Maybe that's a lot, maybe it's not.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I feel like that's more of that thing. I feel like anybody who's got a family thought about that already, when you're a high-profile person, so it probably has something to do with with. With that I always thought about like I gotta be so rich that you can't even access the crib type thing, but I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Yeah, and now at this, at this point, I was like, if you're at that level, if I ever get at the level, it was like maybe I should just get like a like a penthouse, like in a park, you know to where it's a doorman that gets to check in, so I'm paying the cost of. You know it's shared amongst everybody, yeah, yeah, and just have a little vacation home or something like a little joint. You know what I mean. That can go off too.
Speaker 2:That's definitely how I started to think, like in terms of like the exponential, like growth and all that type of shit, like then getting to like different levels, yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I don't like to be anywhere where I could be pulled up on Right right At all.
Speaker 2:And then you add a family to this shit, like, yeah, I'm probably not gonna have a house until man, until I don't know. I used to want that, I do want that. I do want the house with the wife, kids.
Speaker 1:They run down and this Christmas tree and dog in the backyard and shit, but like being able to be pulled up on yeah, and that's kind of what scares me too about kind of like what you do is like you're you got more clout than you do income like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So the you, you. It's hard to pay for a lot of the things when people really want to see you because they love what you do. So you can have millions of you know, know across platforms, you know you can have millions of fans, but it's like I don't have the means to justify having security.
Speaker 2:Right, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's always been a thing for sure. Yeah yeah, oh yeah, that's something. So what about you heard about the ICE? Oh yeah, that's something. So what about you heard?
Speaker 1:about the ICE? Oh, you talking about in California? Uh-huh, yeah, I heard a lot about what's going on there. I think they're fighting back. I mean, you got enough Mexicans Then yeah, yeah, yeah, people ain't just going for real.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. And then it's no, it's like way past a certain point. I remember we first started talking about it before it happened and I was saying how, like something about it just don't, I don't know, like I get the drug dealing shit and like trying to get certain people out, but like I just saw a gray area in that gray area starting to like get bigger and bigger and bigger. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Right, so I think that you just got to. So California is on the opposite side of ICE, so they're suing the Trump administration, so you're backed by your local government for the immigrants or whoever is fighting amongst them. You know, I mean, because you got family and you got the. You know, so quote unquote illegal immigrants, their family, and then you're backed by your state as well. Then it's going to accumulate to like a huge disaster.
Speaker 2:What it's going what it is now. So I heard they can't even have, uh, they like the graduations and shit, like it's starting to be. Well, I mean, it's past this point now, but it was a thing like it's almost like anything that you kind of um hold dear to your heart in terms of, like, family events and stuff is a setup to take people down. So there are kids not even going to graduations because they know that their parents are going to get like got there, Right, I mean, I came from as black people.
Speaker 1:You know, it was never really a thought for us to be like. You know, if we suffered the consequence if we did something illegal, it's pretty much what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So to see, it's just kind of weird place to be to see like, hey, bro, you do something illegal, you get caught, that's on you. You know what I mean, and so that's the stance I take.
Speaker 2:Mentally it's like I think that's the main point.
Speaker 1:There's a purpose of it so when I look at illegal immigration it's like hey, hey, hide, I ain't gonna snitch on you, but if you get caught, you know. I mean, yeah, I can see where it could be sad, but at the end of the day, um, you know, I can't call it injustice because you're doing illegal activity.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm, I'm thinking more so on the the side of uh, past that like the, the, like I said, like the gray area, not the you, where you ain't supposed to be here like going Like not that straightforward, but like you're the friend of somebody, but now you're next to them, all right, get all of them, now, all of y'all.
Speaker 2:And then now you got like families being broken up because you're going so hard. But I get what was supposed to be, but it just seems like it's going way farther than that and now it's just like up yeah, two things.
Speaker 1:I'm not saying that's not happening, because I'm sure that probably is. I'm not. I don't think that's the bulk of what's happening. It's like, hey, bro, you're around him, so you're getting locked up with him I definitely, I definitely, I say I'm sure that's happening, but that's not the bulk of what's happening yeah, right, right yeah, yeah so so you're saying those small stories of the families, that that that is actually injustice is small, but it's a big story, exactly okay yeah, to further the point.
Speaker 1:So the second thing is if you in the car, if you in the car, bruh and you do a shootout, you going to jail too. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's everybody in the car getting locked up. Yeah, yeah, and that's how it's always been. That's why my mom always said choose your friends wisely.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And for the most part, I've chose my friends wisely. Yeah, my friends who are really to this day ain't with the bull bs yeah, we ain't. We already know the consequence to our actions. Of course we're men and we're going, or people, we're going, to make flaws and make bad decisions, but for the most part we ain't doing bs to get ourselves in trouble, yeah, yeah. So so I've all, we've all known that stance. It's like, hey, you're around it, y'all get going on too. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Y'all accessory of it. So that's always been, as a black man, a stance that we always knew was a thing. Yeah, so I'm not saying that fighting for it is wrong, but we always get. As a black man, I feel like when it happens to us it don't really be a thing for real.
Speaker 2:I mean, that's the norm of the nation, for real, for real. Somebody made a quote that was like bruh, if they could have found it's not funny. But he was like Vic Mensa. That was like bro, if they could have found it's not funny. He was like he was like bro, if you think that he was basically saying like don't you think they wish they would have been found out to how to ship niggas out of here? And then I was like damn, yeah, like it really. Just like gather them up and like put them, put all black people in jail and all that shit, and just like the certain lifestyle that you're saying, yeah, like it's just automatic. Um, you can't do, you can't get out of line and all that type of, and what they're doing with the, the, the immigrants, and you know like we're talking about la, and like you know the, the, the hispanics and all that. It's just like if they could have figured out how to get black people out here, they would have been did that, or like been started.
Speaker 1:That that's the interesting point, and I think there's um something in a way they did, though, but yeah there's something to that, but what I would add on is that or you can just exploit them for workforce, ie put them in prison and they work for less, and it's literally you still get money.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because you got. That's the same thing that they're doing with black people. Exactly that's what I'm saying. It's like why?
Speaker 1:why ship them away when we can actually force them to work for us and give them harsh sentences and give them 10 cents an hour? So yeah, instead of why give them away for free when we can actually use them for labor and be profitable for them? So that makes more sense than having to ship them away and they can be a resource for somebody else. We can just put them in prison and have them work for pennies on the dollar, literally. No wonder it was worse.
Speaker 2:I'm just dollar.
Speaker 1:Literally I wonder what's worse. I'm just saying that is what's happening and it's that makes more sense for that than sending them away, because then you're losing people to exploit yeah yeah which we clearly see the machine of um america doing that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anyway, absolutely that's yeah, I mean, that's the part about illegal immigration that people want to keep. It's an exploitable labor force that produce cheap for. And that's the argument when they talk about well, you know, if you ship off all the illegal immigrants, the price is going to raise. It's like okay, so you're okay with um, you know illegal standards and people being exploited. Yeah, for pennies on the dollars because everything's cheaper. That's the same. Yeah, that's a tear up from prison. Yeah, they, they no longer have to work. Uh, abide by the labor standards. So they put themselves in dangerous. They get paid pennies on the dollar and we, we fight for it because we want things cheaper. Yeah, so that's just a tear up from so, so, but that's typically when I hear a little immigration, you know the cost of strawberries gonna blah, blah, like all right, yeah, like I was like okay, so that's what we want to, so we're okay.
Speaker 1:So we're okay with exploiting people uh, yeah, america yeah well, I'm just, I'm I'm listening, I'm just listening to people's arguments.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, uh-huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and I understand. By getting here through legal means, it makes sense. I understand you doing it illegal and you get caught. Hey, you know what I mean? Who am I going to? Hey, you did it illegal, you got caught, bro. You robbed a bank, you got caught, bro.
Speaker 2:Yeah yeah, yeah, oh bro, there was one dude bro. Oh damn, I forgot the story, but it kind of ties into what we're talking about and it was just like it was a dude who was wrongfully caught or deported or some shit like for is it ice or ice?
Speaker 1:ice, ice, ice, all right so, uh, but it's still an acronym, but yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, I didn't know. People just wrote off the tongue.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But I don't even know his story. But let's just say he got caught and he actually was a legal immigrant but he brought 20 niggas over here. He's like the guy that they're kind of like looking for. Do you know what I'm saying? But like he was legal he was.
Speaker 2:He was legal, but so he was wrongfully deported oh yeah and then when they were about to like bring him back, they they actually found out like he brought out he was trafficking people. He was trafficking people for like 20 years, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah so that was, that was.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's, it's, it's a, it's a thin line. You know, some people are in, just in just, and I, I want to, you know, still shout them out and scream their names. And because you don't want, you want to have a standard on um, uh, you don't want pretty much what I'm saying. You don't want Pretty much what I'm saying. You don't want to just let injustice Just fall by the wayside and don't care. You know that's, that's gonna happen, just by the sheer nature of it. But, yeah, yeah, so if somebody's Like bruh, I'm American, hey, bruh, we can't ship. You know, you're an American citizen, we have laws and procedures around that, so you should just be shipped off to another country. But that laws and procedures around that, so you should just be shipped off to another country. Um, but that is a part of the nature of the beast, like there's a part of a nature of the beast of when people get unjustly locked up. Right, yeah, you still want to fight for that injustice, but that it's going to happen as well in facts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thanks yeah that was a real good talking, my shit yeah, they shoot niggas.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, they're not playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not a part of it. Feels like kind of weird to me. Um, but I've seen two, two reporters. No, I see one reporter get shot. You seen her?
Speaker 1:yeah, like they're shooting people but I haven't been really keeping up with it. I've just been kind of seeing the headlines, that one clip is gone.
Speaker 2:No, they shooting people like right.
Speaker 1:Man.
Speaker 2:I thought about that the other day, Going to the protest, when you know all the black stuff. And I just remember about 7 o'clock. I don't know, man man it started getting real rowdy how long I need to go? But um yeah, yeah, what uh? Was it something that you want to talk?
Speaker 1:about. I mean, I did, but yeah, yeah, yeah I don't know if we get that much time. It's bs, though, who really cares? It was, uh, while they not being recognized by Kai Sinatra. Oh yeah, I saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was going to say that in the car when we was coming back.
Speaker 2:Bro. Yes, bro, that was too funny. I was going to tell you I'm like bro Kai is getting so big now that these streamers in general they are getting so rich. Now they walking through that bitch like they like the number one artist in the world.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, he's the biggest streamer and that's the biggest thing of the time. That's like Mr Beast. Mr Beast, you know what I mean. He got 400 something million subscribers, I think he's a billionaire. Oh, I mean, it only makes sense. I mean his evaluation got to be. I mean he's one of the biggest YouTubers there. And YouTube. Youtube is the biggest platform.
Speaker 1:So yeah, if you're the biggest of the big, yeah, yeah, Then you, you're just naturally going to be that and then. So I mean but yes, Katsunai is the biggest streamer of streaming, because I don't know, it was too yeah, but I guess the ultimate point is like wale salty, because an individual didn't know him. I don't know if he was salty. He was. You think so absolutely. Why would you come to him and say you got me looking crazy out here I didn't know if he was playing or not why would he say, why would he play like that?
Speaker 2:because why would you say that? Yeah, because you're salty yeah yeah, I remember I saw both clips and it was too funny. Then Kai got in the car. He was like oh, some, some, oh, they must have knew him, wally yeah, the limo driver is like Wale. Wale, yeah, yeah, wale, oh cool, yeah, he yeah, yeah, yeah, wale, oh cool, yeah, yeah, yeah, in Lotus Flower yeah, he's a rapper. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like cool. He didn't know nothing.
Speaker 1:I'm like yeah, yeah, I think that you know, if you're up in hip hop culture, you should probably know who Wale is. You should probably know something about him, heard.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you like kind of shitting on him, you kind of like all right, bro, yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't even care. He was like, oh bet, he got a new record out, or something, yeah, yeah, yeah All right. But I did see him come back and he was like, hey, I'm going to do this.
Speaker 1:You know he's like man. You got me looking crazy. He's like. All right, my bad bro. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like I'm gonna Holler at you later, yeah, yeah, but yeah, for him to come up To him directly, that wasn't really a joke, cause you could've waited To make that joke and I would've smiled and be like I guess what he and you could tell that he was hurt Because Wale went Out my way. What's up Ka? What's up man? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:He's like who's that? Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, exactly so he was embarrassed, and that's just big egos.
Speaker 1:That's purely what it was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was too funny. Yeah, yeah, I couldn't. I don't know, I didn't get the embarrassed, I didn't know what it was. You know me, but I'll take your word for it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but we can move on. That was just a little funny thing. What else, what else? So we can talk a little bit about relationships, relationships.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Or you want something else.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we can go into relationships, you can go what you got?
Speaker 1:Okay, I got you. It was just a relationship topic just to kind of drive some conversations, could you? I probably have an idea. I do have the idea of how you're going to answer it, but I still want to know Could you do a long-term relationship?
Speaker 2:A long-term relationship. I think that, yeah, that's probably going to be where I'm at for a minute.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I was talking to Tate about that too. It was just like proximity versus me, like race, so silly, and all that type of stuff. It's not the same thing. Like what about you? You do you think that you could do it a long time?
Speaker 1:I could do it long distance.
Speaker 2:But I what throws me off about you, where I couldn't put my b in that shoe, is how seamlessly you're able to do it you know, sometimes I look at myself like you're a little too good at this not like that, not like I have like so many girlfriends or whatever, but just the fact of meeting one girl and then you know, then a six-year relationship comes from that, or and we were not in the same space. And then you know it just kind of I don't know man, it's like it's just picture you go to the grocery store or something and then you could tell somebody takes a liking of you it's just online you know like they're.
Speaker 2:They're in the same spot where you're at and it's, it's. I don't know like half of half of the wonder of like. I wonder if they like kind of like what I do and all that stuff. It's already done.
Speaker 1:I guess what I'm saying. When it comes to a longterm relationship outside, looking in, I feel like you can do that for years.
Speaker 2:Me.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Hmm, no no no, no no, no, the longest I've been in a long-term relationship was what? Six months and was, how much did you miss her? Uh, like, was it that thirst to where? You know I'll start looking at? I didn't see that thirst. I really want to see you right now and I can't like. It was just like I'll see you when I'll start looking at. I didn't see that thirst. I really want to see you right now and I can't like it was just like I'll see you when I see you.
Speaker 1:I have a feeling I got from not to say you didn't love her or whatever, because I know you did uh-huh, well, uh, you, you.
Speaker 2:I don't really know who you're talking about whisper like do this, uh-huh, uh, what about it?
Speaker 1:yeah, I was just saying that. It's like I know that you loved her a lot, but I never saw the third, like the third stuff. I really need to see you right now like, like the urge of it.
Speaker 2:I probably like. I mean first of all like you seeing me in that situation. It just the the relationship was already all bad by then so like you weren't gonna see that, okay you see what I'm saying, well, I would.
Speaker 1:I see what you're saying, but I didn't even know what we was doing by then. Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, but no, like long-term relationship.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's phases of it and you know the first phase is cool, but like that shit weighs down heavy eventually Because like you can't see, you can't see the person. You know if there's a miscommunication, it's way easier for that shit to get thrown off. You know there's a lot that deals with you know we're humans we're not supposed to be like, we're not naturally made to be like on the phone for real.
Speaker 2:You know it's more so we're supposed to have like human to human interaction and like you can see what they look like when you say this word or you know I'm saying like it's all energy, um, so long-term relationships ain't like. I feel like sometimes you know you might have to start that way, but that shit weighs down, it really. It really kills a lot okay in the relationship.
Speaker 2:It's not as it's not as it's harder yeah, as I make a scene, I don't know, it's not. Yeah, if anything, I just have like an optimistic mindset of like anything. I feel like, um, the man who can and the man who says you can't like they're both right.
Speaker 2:So if I say like this long-term relationship is gonna us up, it's gonna us up okay and I literally and I have to like literally do that, I have to literally be like no, there's got to be a way of something. So like if a girl is, um, I don't know, like you got to start thinking on your feet like, oh well, let's, let's watch a movie together, let's do this, and then, or like you send her something or something like you got to do all these things just to kind of have that presence of like he's here and it's it's way harder than just knocking on the door.
Speaker 1:I got you, uh, but I like what you said, because I've never heard it before and but you said so effortlessly, so I know it's the thing you said the man who who can and versus the man who can't, they're both right. Yeah, where did you first hear that? Because it makes sense.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's like really big for me in life and in relationships for sure.
Speaker 1:Was that a motivational speaker?
Speaker 2:No, it was just like some, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe I didn't read it somewhere, so I heard it, probably from an older guy, or A meme, or something.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, yeah, I feel like If I was ever Writing a sermon, that's a good topic To write it on.
Speaker 2:Nah, bruh, that shit, that shit is for real. For real Cause it's, it's. And I was just talking To somebody the other day and I was just like you know, words are real, I live by that. I'm still trying to change what I say, stuff all the time. But yeah, bro, if I say I was just talking to somebody yesterday and they were like work is getting hard and you know they're letting people go and I kind of feel like I might be next and all that, and I was just telling them like yo, you know, you kind of got to think I'm an amazing worker, these people love me and you know, kind of like that route, because if you think the other, then you're gonna ultimately mold into that person. Like, have you ever thought sometime, like been in a situation this is?
Speaker 2:random, but like let's say, like one time I was at a pep rally and I had to play Obama for some reason, but I had to walk from one side of the gym to the other side and it was just me and this girl who was playing Michelle. It was a pep rally, so this bitch was packed with all the kids and all I could think about was like don't trip, don't trip don't trip.
Speaker 2:And I swear I was walking different just because I was telling myself don't trip the whole time, versus like I walk this whole, I'm gonna go here and it's gonna be like one of the greatest moments of my life. So you know, that could be two different people the dude who say he gonna trip, I might trip. And then dude who's like no, I'm gonna do this right, or whatever. And I just think, I just think about that. Uh, with life and especially in relationships, because it's too easy to be like she tripping, I don't think I like this, or same thing with the dude. That's a red flag. I'm not going to do this because I know exactly how this is going to go and it's going to go exactly like that, just because you thought that way. So yeah, that's, that's, that's a big thing.
Speaker 1:Understood and I like you know, I like where we're at with. It's a very good conversation. There's some stuff that I'm gonna take note of and uh, just remind to kind of bring back around to what you just mentioned too, but we got some fun some fun happening.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, okay, oh shit, you already have 40. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 1:And there's a game that we want to start introducing, just to kind of have fun and just be kind of more interactive. Yeah, do you have a game that you want to play first or you want to go to mine?
Speaker 2:I think mine, you might have to think just a second. Okay, all right, you can Okay.
Speaker 1:Well, mine's just like name the top top five places, type of thing. So that's what I want to do is, like you know, I'll say, hey, you know, like what do black people like the most foods? And then you would name the top five that's not what I got but that's ultimately how the game works, all right. So are you familiar with what a passport bro is Passport.
