SPEAKER_04Well, I was pretty much getting all the gangles together, getting the uh the little ones and the and the and the the littles together, you know, trying to make sure everybody had a good one. Uh made Shah my Dukes and uh and uh Pop, they was all lined up, and my grandparents they came in from the rock. So it was like, you know, it was pretty much just all how many plates should we eat? That's what I that's what really matters. Shit. I tell you, from that morning to that night, I think I did, I think I knocked out about three and a half, four. And the reason why is that because I started off like we started, you know, I I ain't never really been a breakfast guy. So it's again like a breakfast, they they they went crazy that morning for breakfast.
SPEAKER_05And like I said, I had me uh I had me the uh the turkey bacon and the um and the and the oh no, you you said you had what the fuck did you just say I don't do the swine, my brother.
Christmas Food Marathons And Family Time
SPEAKER_04No sir, no sir. I won't do the swine, not on uh uh I won't do the swine. So I put turkey bacon on that guy, and we do oh god and look, and they got these little they got these new little turkey sausage links, man. Listen to me when I tell I I I I always y'all know me, y'all know the real V. Them little sauce, not not the fat patties, a sausage late. Give me the give me the the man, listen to me. When that's that used to be my weakness that little heavy serve on that motherfucker. You know how little the carnival, you know how you didn't go to Cardiff. Nah, but I know about a little sauce. Come on, man, with the with the pancake motherfucker and the crazy part is I didn't give a damn. That's why I didn't even entertain that. I don't care, I don't care either. I'm just playing it just because it needs to be prepared. I end up making I end up because again, I I was up all morning. I didn't I woke up at like 4 30. Breakfast was served at like eight. Man, I done made me a goddamn uh what they call it, the uh the the the the the link hot dogs. I had a goddamn the two links and uh and a pancake with the syrup. Good god almighty. Boy, that nigga made him a fucking pan glizzy in the morning. Come on, man. Sausage pan glizzy. I did him, I did that. Then, like I said, we start we had a little brunch at like two, then we ended up doing lunch and dinner throughout the rest of the day. So it was pretty much we we considered that lunch and dinner just whatever you go in there and pick up. You know what I'm saying? I did one big lunch play. I did one big two o'clock. One big one, yeah, that one laid you down for the day then.
SPEAKER_03Man, I had turnip greens, collar greens.

SPEAKER_04One and done, baby Kyrie. Yeah, you showed up, then yeah. That's the one that's gonna lay you down for sure. That's why I said I had about four small plates, and that's why that's why you need to do it. Nah, nah, that's why I used to do it.
SPEAKER_05Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
SPEAKER_04I like do my like break mine because if I eat one big one, I'm gonna be miserable, but you didn't have four small plates.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like you know, like you know, they wouldn't do annoying yeah, explain what small a small plate is for you because a small plate for most people is a one plate, one and a half scoops, so it's like anything I get, I get like one and a half.
SPEAKER_04I instead of getting that two big scoop regular, I go one and a half, so but you but you still get everything, right?
SPEAKER_03You don't need nothing out.
SPEAKER_04That's for sure. Like I say, that's like especially if it's on my like I get so instead of getting like usually by go get if it my regular plate, two chicken, two chicken wings, uh macaroni and cheese, uh dressing, um cabbage, green, you know, little shit like that. Instead of doing all that, I do one once teaspoon of everything, and macaroni and cheese, the only one to get like the two scoops. See, my small plate is that's it that has a calories right there.
SPEAKER_05You talking about you talking about small, you talk about two small plates.
SPEAKER_04See, my small plate is just my favorite sides. Uh uh. I gotta put some, I gotta put some meat paws on there. I got to. I called it right. Chill called it again. Well, look, I said I got to put it, I got to uh have some eggs on there every time.
SPEAKER_03Well, you know, sides that's my favorite part of the meal.
SPEAKER_04Really? Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03I come for the sides.
SPEAKER_04I'm a sides guy. You know, then my mama she made some uh she made some meatloaf this year. Good.
SPEAKER_03Oh, my mama did too.
SPEAKER_04Good, got on my lips. She made four of them things. Listen to me. The thing is, bro, listen, meatloaf balls. Y'all don't understand. I don't know if you we got we do the meat, we do the meatloaf uh pie, which is you know the the whole meatloaf, you know, whatever. Yeah, where he go to go to corral and punish. Come on now, but then you got the meatloaf balls as well. Don't it ain't been 10 years, bro.

We was at me and deck, me and Lil Dick was in there so much the waitresses started knowing us. Oh, that's a good thing. The waitress started knowing us in uh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Speaking of waitresses, I went and saw my bartender, my favorite bartender uh Saturday. Yeah, I went and sat in there for like four or five hours. Then my second favorite bartender showed up. But yeah, we had a good time.
SPEAKER_06I tell you, yeah, that sounds about right too. I gotta start back becoming a regular.
SPEAKER_04I gotta start just going in there on Saturday and listening to RB. There it is. So which that brings in too, because I'm glad you said that brings in since you since that's the plan for what's coming up. What's your new what's your new year's resolution? What you want to do better on in 2026?
SPEAKER_03Oh, I think I'm gonna stop living multiple lives and live my truth. What that mean? Exactly what I said. I'm gonna stop living multiple lives and live my truth.
SPEAKER_04You gotta break that down. I don't know what you mean. A lot of folks can tell you, like, maybe they say you gay, maybe they can say you steal, maybe they can say anybody can say anything if you leave it open like that.
SPEAKER_03Look here, look here. For one, I don't leave it open. That's what I'm saying, so let's break that down. I'm saying, like, it's not even an entrance, you know what I'm saying? It's only an exit, you know what I mean. It only opens when shit comes out, you know what I mean? That's the only way this motherfucker opens, okay? What's wrong with you, bro? You the one that that that brought it here, you know, not me. But anyways, um yeah, instead of just living multiple lives, I'm just gonna live my truth.
SPEAKER_05Why do you live multiple lives?
SPEAKER_04Because it's fun. I still need you to break that down because I don't know what that means. Oh man, you know. I'm gonna ask you because I'm coming back to you on that. What's your uh what's your new year's resolution? What you want to be do better in 26, man?
SPEAKER_05Smoke more dope.
SPEAKER_03That's about it.
SPEAKER_05About it, really.
SPEAKER_03Why why more? What if you can find better dope and actually smoke less and be just as high or higher?
SPEAKER_05It's legal up here, so I can find I'll be finding all types of shit up here.
SPEAKER_06I stay right there.
SPEAKER_03That's not the point I'm making. What if you could find some dope where you could just smoke it once a week and just be where you need to be all week?
SPEAKER_05Man, look at it. I feel like I live in a utopia. I can walk around fucking weed and can't don't nobody say shit to me. Like it's just the best way. Back at home, I couldn't do that.
SPEAKER_06You can't do that. Nah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05No, I can't, DJ.
SPEAKER_03Even though they sell that fake shit at the gas station and the look and stuff.
SPEAKER_04Uh-huh. You still better not just be out smoking that and driving or doing nothing out in the parking lot, but that's your ass up. But come here.
SPEAKER_03Nah, this Delta Nine, this Delta Nine, Delta eight, whatever.
SPEAKER_05We'll figure that in court in a couple months.
SPEAKER_04But we're gonna figure everything out. Come on here. We're gonna get you right now, though. Come on with us.
Sides vs Mains And Meatloaf Lore
SPEAKER_03We'll figure everything else from that. See, when I was in Albany, I had some reservists who was like on Albany PD and shit. And they was telling me that they stopped arresting for weed down there because of the Delta Eight. And the police force didn't want to spend the money to send every sample off to the lab.
SPEAKER_04That's a bunch, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Because they had to send it to the lab because Delta Eight was legal, and all of the characteristics are the same.
SPEAKER_04Exact same. That's the one thing that's like how it is in Cardiff, though, honestly, for real. Like a lot of a lot of the smaller town areas, if you have, and again, I don't want to say they won't. I'm not gonna say they won't. I'm gonna say that if you got anything under like a three, five around here or a seven or something like that, they're not finna go out of their way to just start doing that and trying to push that issue. But if you go in there and you got over 28, something like that, now that's worth the risk. Around here at least. I won't say in Albany, I won't say it, but around here, oh, look you got anything over 28. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_03If I will spend that money, if I work for Clark and you got anything over half, don't let it be in a sandwich bag. You get you getting them. Half me, baby. You getting them. Well, you tell don't have 20 something on you.
SPEAKER_04Intent to distribute, boy. Well, you're trying to sell something, but what you got on you, boy?
SPEAKER_03Let's I get it. Yeah, yeah. See, and see, and here's what I know I know you bought that zip. One of your partners ain't gonna have no weed one day where y'all sitting around smoking, and you ain't gonna do the right thing and give it to them. Nah, you're gonna sell it to them. Intent to distribute, got your ass, boy.
SPEAKER_04Well, you gotta cut that out. No, but no, that's why I'm not a cop. That would be something I but trying to send up and I was thinking to myself on that one. Yeah, what's your resolution? 26, bro. I don't really got it. I just want to be I personally want to do better with time. I want to do better with time management, I want to do it better with mental health. I want to take that more serious, and I want to do I want to do some, I want to focus on VJ, like doing some shit that me and Rue. We and I tell you, I tell you, me and Rue, we earlier in the year, I want to say like around October, me and Rue was having a conversation, and it's real, it was it was funny, but it was real as fuck. He got a he got a partner. We ain't gotta tell the story again, but he got a partner that did some shit that I that I kind of look up to, and it's some shit that I actually was my partner, it was a random ass white dude I met. Well, yeah, he was he got a random partner or random oh whoever that I end up saying, you know, he did some shit that he had me like saying, Fuck it, but I'm ready to try this out because well, listen, I've been having crazy thoughts and shit lately, so it's like I didn't have to just you know think about some shit, and I'm really about to just start taking the ways making VJ the star player at least in 26. You know, I'm gonna make sure everybody everybody got everything, everybody taken care of, but VJ gonna be the star player. Let me tell you something.
SPEAKER_03I got put in that man's position, right? What's game?
SPEAKER_07Oh, that's hey, bro.
SPEAKER_03Like, bruh, y'all are ruining conversations without a homophobia, man. Can we just have a conversation, man? You knew exactly what I meant. Like, you you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_05You can't talk like that up AC. That's that's not my own.
SPEAKER_03Hey, I'm down here though. But nah, for real, for real. Like, I got finally put in a position to where I got to focus on myself and make me the fucking star player, the MVP. And yeah, at times it's it's it's weird, it's different. Uh, but really like reflecting on 2025, like being able to make myself the MVP, getting back to doing the shit that I like to do, and not worrying about how it makes other people feel, and and then trying to learn what that is like again and what that attracts, you know what I mean? Like, hey, dog, I'm just gonna be me. And when I was saying stop living multiple lives and live my true self, that's what I mean. Like, bro, I'm gonna be me, and whatever whatever that attracts, that's that's what I'm gonna live with. I'm not going to seek out things, I'm going to allow, I'm just gonna be myself. Whatever come to you, come to you.
SPEAKER_04Come on now. I feel you. Pretty much I'm I'm I'm in that same boat. I'm just tired of nigga falling asleep for two hours, and now I feel like I'm getting cussed out, and mother just don't want to talk and want to be mad. It's like at times shit like that'll make me crazy, and I'm tired of doing that. So, again, that's why I said it's like you know, VJ. You you gotta make you the start play. And again, when you already when I got a bunch of moving around and all that moving and grooving going on now as it is, it's like I gotta just start making time for me to well. I did some to if I need to go walk the if I need to go walk or go run or go do whatever I need to do. If I want to go get my feet done or my uh massage, or we don't want to go sit at the bar and get away from your motherfucking ass.
SPEAKER_03What I used to be able to do that, not have to hear your motherfucking ass. Like, hey, I'm getting away from you, so we don't do this. Yeah, and no, I feel you. That's all it is. Don't nobody want to be a prisoner now, huh?
SPEAKER_04That's all it is. That's all it is. That's why I said so. I feel like 26 again. I this while he laughs at us, yeah. I get it, but I say I feel like 26. I ain't gonna be one of them that's gonna be on that new year, new me shit. No, it's gonna be the same old big V. It's just gonna try and clean up and do some new shit. Like it's gonna still be some new stuff added. I'm gonna still be the same VJ, I'm gonna still do the exact same stuff I did this we this year. Eat bad, party, drink, kick it with the guy, whatever. But you're gonna do some yoga though. I'm still gonna do yoga, I'm still gonna maintain yoga, I'm still gonna make uh maintain. I haven't been, I have not been grounding lately. That's why I will say it's too cold, it's too cold. I gotta get which and that's why I say, but I they say that times this is the best time to start grounding when it starts that dewy feeling. When it's dewy, it's cold already.

SPEAKER_03They ain't got earth, they got concrete. Yeah, which they got uh they got the park, he can go to the park. He's gonna walk around that park barefoot.
SPEAKER_04He cut his foot up with all the loose glasses.
SPEAKER_05That's all that's over there.
SPEAKER_03H1 syringe needles out then.
Bar Regulars, R&B Saturdays, And Resolutions
SPEAKER_04On top of that, one thing about that now I don't realize y'all birds ain't scared of y'all. Y'all birds will walk right beside y'all and shit. So it's like yeah, not enough guns. Yeah, they ain't been shot before. They ain't seen that. Yeah, that's exactly what it was. So I thought I hit a beer on my way home. I do that damn near every other day. Now coming to uh coming out the coming out here in the morning time, bro. Oh my god, it's it caught me on Maze Road.
SPEAKER_03I'm driving back right on this backside, but every time. And like I hadn't, I wouldn't, you know what I'm saying? I wouldn't text and driving or nothing so I get on the road, I'm like, I can chill. Man, I look up, I see that little white tail go by, not the one I like, the dirt.
SPEAKER_04See, my man ain't even locked in. The dirt. Hey man, but but but just just real quick though, because I do feel like we gotta throw this in here right quick. Uh R.I.P. to the legend, Carter's veal. Danny Boy, man, R.I.P. to one of the to the greats, man. We lost a good win. I think it was the other day. I don't know. I think it was definitely the other day. Lost a good uh soldier out here in the vehicle. We want to everybody, the family, everybody send our condolences. Village vets, we definitely throwing one y'all out there.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, absolutely. Condolences to Danny Boy. Shout out to Danny Boy, Danny Boy used to come on Maze Road back in the day. Um, you know, it was just for me, it was cool to see like the outpouring because like I told you before the show, I didn't know he mattered that much to that many people, but and not in a disrespectful way, you know what I mean? Like just not living here for so long. Like, I know my interactions with Danny Boy, I know what he kind of means around niggas our age, because if you was a nigga and you was just around people, you know what I'm saying? You you you get to know Danny Boy, but then to see like the different younger people who were affected by it and just just seeing all the the Facebook posts and stuff, it's like, damn, shout out to Danny Boy.
SPEAKER_04Facts, like being real, I didn't even know Danny Boyne was getting told stories about Danny Boy. I didn't actually meet Danny Boyne until I was damn near maybe 12, 13, and it was by mistake. I was with Chris Elwood. Me and him, I my mom and my daddy end up going out of town on a uh on like a cruise or something. Doing something without y'all, having fun, having fun without me and my sister, and I ended up going to stay. Uh I stayed with Chris Elwoods this week. That's I wanted him to come on the show so he could tell the story.
SPEAKER_03Now that we grown and we go on them same kind of vacation, you ever like think back on shit like that? Just just be discussed.
Make Yourself The MVP In 2026
SPEAKER_04I swear to me, we just talked about it. Me and my parents, we just talked about this same shit, I swear to God. But um, but that's anyway. We I get back, we'll come back to that. Um Danny, but he ended up going uh uh end up going, which again, you you made the comment you said that uh you didn't know that Danny meant that much. Danny here brown. So one thing about it, the Browns in Cartersville, it's 900 of them anyway in their self. So it's like they're gonna be that's a big it's a big crowd in itself, being real. But fast forwarding again is uh Danny when he first met me. You know, I've always been the nigga that just laugh. Like I'm I'm a giggler, especially when I get when I when I no, I mean is it what it is. Don't fucking do that. When I that was my excited, no, that was that was kind of like my that was kind of like my defense mechanism at times. I would laugh at shit that that if I get nervous, I would either get gassy or laugh. No bullshit, no fucking bullshit. I'm so serious, I would get super gassy or I would laugh and I used to say you got anxiety, burp, fart, or I start giggling. Yeah, you got anxiety. Story of my life, bro. No bullshit. Anybody will tell you that's the reason why niggas always be like, but what you laughing so much for? I think I'm angels. That's the literal story of my life. I would giggle or I burp and fart or some shit. Like I said, anyway, but like I'm saying this when Danny first bet me, Daddy. Uh he asked Dwayne and Chris, he said, Hey, who the La Fat Yellow Boy keep laughing so much? He said that's little shit, man. And Chris and the Chris and uh Chris and Nick Richards, they ran that shit for almost five, six years up until damn we graduated. They would just keep constantly always bringing that back out. So again, that was just my one story with old Danny, but R.I.P. the one of the goats, man. R.I.P. the one of the goats in the vehicle.
SPEAKER_03You want to know something interesting? You know, we're sitting here reflecting. And while I was writing the topics on the board, it kind of took me back to when the three of us met in Rue Garage before he left, and we talked about the direction of the show. And we talked about like we had the first iteration, we had whatever, whatever. Then we run it back, and then we have whatever, whatever. And then now we're here. And damn near a year later, the shit we talked about in the garage, and the people, the people who were talking in the garage are the people that are here. And it's no shots that are friends, like, like no personal shots. Then my niggas love them. That's nothing to do with it, like none of that shit. But it's just interesting to see how, like, oh, the three of us committed to this. The three of us are still committed to this. Oh shit, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, where we were thinking was like in the right place, and I just think it's sometimes good to think back on stuff like that. And yeah, it's weird to do it on a podcast publicly about your friends, but it's just for the for the show and for the people who like follow the show, and and like niggas do have questions, and I'm never gonna tell you in person, like real shit, uh, unless I actually know you. But like it's to see uh just the universe working full circle, and you talking about making yourself the MVP. And I talked about how I ended up in the same position as buddy. It's just how like the universe Holly, this sound like smoke, woke ass shit. It's just how like life really just happens and you end up where you're supposed to be. And to people listening, hey, your life might be fucked up right now, but hey dog, you are you supposed to be, just don't stay there.
SPEAKER_04Don't stop, don't get consistent. I mean, don't stay consistent, stay on keep dropping, do all the shit. Don't get don't settle for nothing. That's the one thing, too. We I read that I read something like that with Mojo, one of my favorite comedians out right now. Mojo made a comment. He said that just six months, or excuse me, three years ago, he was at uh he was working for uh the police station out in um where the hell is he from? I wanna say Chicago, somewhere out there. And he said that pretty much making twenty dollars an hour. They end up telling him to quit doing his, he was gonna either have to quit doing his social media stuff or they was gonna fire him. He ended up$20 an hour, he ended up quitting three months later, six months after he quit his job and went all the way in on himself and just start going all in and and and voting with him, betting with him. Shit, he started he turned that twenty dollars an hour into a six-figure, and now to this day, right now, he just he just hit his seven-figure mark. So it's just pretty much saying niggas just keep going, bro. Even when we think this shit ain't that, keep going because somebody gonna keep somebody gonna listen one day it's gonna catch fire.
SPEAKER_03And it may not even be like content, it's just life in general, you know what I mean? And for some people that keep going, you're going to that shitty ass job because you actually love it and you're gonna work your way up because you love what you're doing and you're learning it. But I used to say this back when I used to do the Snapchat rants. I remember saying, I ain't I ain't selling till I get my 11.5 because if you're settling down, then it means you're settling. And in so many places in life, people say, Oh, you should settle down and do this. But part of settling down is settling and what places in your life do you really want to settle? You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_06Good question.
SPEAKER_03Because even if, like, even if you talk relationship, you can be with somebody, but doesn't mean y'all are settling down, y'all can be together forever. Because when you talk about settling, now you mean like, oh, we're not moving no more, we're just here comfortable, right? And if we're just here, life keeps going, us as individuals keep growing. Why the fuck would we just stay here in our relationship? That's crazy. But that's not just with a girl, you know. I mean, that's with that's everything, everything, you know. I mean, a job, people, religion, you know. I'm saying, I know we ain't supposed to talk about religion, but with anything in life, like why settle in one place? I think we should always be curious and look for new things. You may stay where you are, but keep your ears and eyes open, like they exist for a reason.
SPEAKER_04But don't they kind of go in like to that the next topic? Like, everything don't really have to be toxic when it comes to stuff like that, or is that more of a man?
SPEAKER_03Nah, let me tell you why I put this shit on here. Okay, so we was we was talking at work, right? And I was talking to some to some of the YMs because you know, I've become kind of the older guy who they who who who give them sage advice because you know how to live a little bit of life. And this woman was talking about a story of getting into it with a girl that her dude was messing with. And I'm like, why? Because she knew we was together. I said, was she your friend? She was like, no. I'm like, well, she ain't know you shit. She don't know you shit. Like, I'm like, you can be mad at buddy, but she ain't oh you shit. So what you mad at her for? One girl was like, I don't care. I'll still I've had girls pull up in my DMs talking about my mind. I said, Oh, who hold on? What's what the fuck is going on here? Right? I'm I'm I'm confused. I'm I'm I'm flabbergasted, I'm taking aback, right? I'm I'm bothered by this. And they looked at me like I'm crazy, and I go, bruh, the side chick should never want to be main chicks. And I just told them how like you should kind of conduct that side of your life if you live that side of your life. Nigga looked at me, he was like, bro, I gotta stay away from you. You toxic. I said, Hold on. I I in my head, I'm like, bro, I didn't tell you we live that way. No, we do that. Okay, but you know, they didn't say that.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you know what that was too. Hey, we'll talk off there, we'll talk over here, we'll talk over here, we'll talk over here.
Weed Laws, Delta-8 Loopholes, And Street Sense
SPEAKER_05Bro, I know we I'm just listening to this soft ass shit, y'all niggas over there talking about that.
SPEAKER_04Real shit now. Everybody can't sit in the car and ride around. You sometimes you gotta give some advice to these Y's.
SPEAKER_03Just ride around with Y.
SPEAKER_04He thinks he's just ride around and he can just go cuss folks out.
SPEAKER_05Don't do it, nigga. Shit, go get it.
SPEAKER_04So, what you mean by that, Ru? Break that down real quick. Break that down, Ru.
SPEAKER_05Damn, why are you gonna ask all these questions?
SPEAKER_04No, I'm saying because you don't make no comment like that, and then ain't gonna break that down.
SPEAKER_05You gotta break that man, go do it. Like, like, like you tell me, bro. I'm for a lock back in, I'm gonna get on it. All right, I hear you. You say you're gonna do it.
SPEAKER_04You gonna say you don't dance, you don't do it, I hear you. I hear you because then you just told me.
SPEAKER_05You told me this. Uh you told me that a year.
SPEAKER_04I get it. Yeah, no, that's for damn sure. I damn sure hear that now. I damn sure hear that. But that's why I say it just, you know, I guess with those with these certain conversations, certain of some of them they fit the mode because again, what he just said that's some real shit, especially about VJ, because he brought it back about VJ. But then again, without speaking on the other ones, Lee, I want to ask you do you think that's usually spot on only when it's toxic situations, or do you think that's spot on when it can when it's just uh uh uh I guess like an open open-ended conversation? I guess when everything don't have to be toxic. Like if you was to bring that same conversation to an older crowd, do you think that would still you would still get the same reaction if somebody ain't uh I don't think it's an age thing, I think it's an experience thing.
SPEAKER_03Gotcha, and more importantly, I just wish we would stop putting labels on everything because when you start putting labels on shit, like again, you know we what we do, right? We put labels on shit, that means in our mind, this is the same goddamn thing, right? Even though shit be having labels and they're different, but to us, it say this, you go there. Fuck everything else, right? But it takes away like the authenticity of the situation because like you you're taking away nuance, you're taking away context because oh this is toxic, so we put this in a bucket with all this toxic shit, and then now anything that is toxic, you now become that, even though that has nothing to do with it.
SPEAKER_05What is toxic? Like, what what what is
SPEAKER_03Bingo, let's ask the dictionary. You know, niggas don't read. And that's and bro, it's so funny like being around young people because I'm not used to being around young people. Toxic describes poisonous, harmful, or malicious, applying to substances like toxic waste, behaviors, toxic relationships, sarcasm, stress prolonged. It signifies a severe negative impact, whether physical, emotional, or systemic.
SPEAKER_05I gotta be, I gotta engage, right? For the toxic to work, correct? Just asking a question.
SPEAKER_04So let me tell you, before you say that, I looked up on chat GPT and I type in urban dictionary toxic, and it's saying, um, it's saying it's stupid. Well, I mean, you know, you gotta do the same thing, you gotta break it down because they pretty much just saying that it's the same thing, but it can be emotional damage, negativity, or unhealthy. And I I want to ask before we move those, are those do you feel those are the three traits in toxic or you think it's more to that?
SPEAKER_03No, I mean, I think it's main mainly the something that causes damage. Like if we get to the root, if something is toxic, it causes damage. But I think the bigger picture is where rules go into it, where we talk about human relationships. A lot of these people we call toxic, we don't have to deal with them.
SPEAKER_05Like I like, I gotta engage with it, right? For it to be toxic to me to be affected, like I gotta engage with it, right?
SPEAKER_03That's the yeah, just yeah, I'm just yeah, like the the sub, like you have to be exposed to it.
SPEAKER_05Uh I mean if I'm exposed to it, even though even if I'm dealing with somebody that's toxic and they're being toxic to me, I gotta engage with it, right? For it to affect me, yeah, because it has to be harmful.
SPEAKER_04But again, what y'all saying that what y'all saying that? Wait a second, just say you can't really say that because again, if y'all are in the same environment and y'all are let's say co-workers, you ain't gotta say y'all are involved if y'all co-workers and that co-worker giving you toxic energy and they trying to bite on you. Is that pretty much the same thing? How do you move on that?
SPEAKER_03What if you don't? What if you just stay on bother and you just stay on if that but that ain't bothering me because what you're doing is not bothering me, yeah.
SPEAKER_04But I'm saying, what if it is? What if it starts? That's my point.
SPEAKER_05I gotta that's my point. I have to engage for it to be toxic, right?
SPEAKER_04I get you. We control you, I get you.
SPEAKER_03I get it because you know, at the end of the day, we control what bothers us. Facts. A motherfucker can slap you in your face, and if you don't care about that, you won't even take out on that. You don't care, you ain't mad, your pride ain't hurt.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, I get exactly slap me again. I get exactly what you're saying on that for sure. That may yeah, now no, I'm saying I get his point. I get what yeah, I get his point. Mm-hmm. Can't do nothing to me, though. I feel that's what I said. That's why I can't agree with everything y'all say. I don't agree with what y'all saying at all, but I get the analogy on everything. A moment can't do nothing to me and not make me feel like and that's female, male, dog, cat, chicken, duck. I don't give a if I feel tried in any way or any play, I'm responding.
SPEAKER_05If y'all don't think it's don't follow what they just like like you say, if somebody like if I feel like I'm trying, honestly, it just depends on what mood I'm in, how I'm engaged, like you know.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's that right there, though. With me being real, what we what we talked about earlier today, Rue. My whole thing is like I said, is I can play back with anything, but when I feel tried or when I feel played on, I'm gonna, I'm I gotta, I gotta retaliate, like I gotta respond in some type of way. And sometimes, like I say, it don't really, it ain't really me feeding into the toxic shit, but I guess if y'all say if I got if you gotta respond to make it toxic, I'm gonna respond every time.
SPEAKER_03I it depends on how much respect I have for you, it depends on what you do, it depends on how much you mean to me. But oftentimes, I done gotta lick, or I'm gonna get a lick back. Yeah, yeah, nothing wise. So when you thank you up and you live in that little fantasy land over here in reality, it's different, but you don't even know that. So you say different.
SPEAKER_04So you say low-key to scope, they get they got their little point, but the scope might be like 26 to 2.
SPEAKER_03I'm not saying I'm not saying 26 to 2. All I'm saying is we ain't playing for overtime. We're trying to win.
SPEAKER_05Why is the camera zooming in on you?
SPEAKER_03I like that because I hate that though, because it's a it's an AI camera, and he did something to trigger it. Zoom in the like did this right here.
SPEAKER_04I just did that when it zoomed in before.
SPEAKER_05Are you drinking the butt, right?
SPEAKER_04Yeah, they can this a micelo ultra. But they got me with the uni going cray cray.
SPEAKER_03So that wouldn't be a good time.
SPEAKER_05But yeah, you gotta engage with the with the with the toxic to keep going. What'd you say? You know what I'm saying? Like, and at the end of the day, like, you know, depends on what mood I'm in. If I want to respond, but the the whole time my response is still like I ain't mad, you know. I just gotta respond, just to you know, and I feel like that's keep the game mad.
SPEAKER_03Huh? What happened? Like, what happened to that energy? It doesn't go anywhere, it doesn't, it doesn't go away. It just you know, I'm gonna ask, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Let me ask how the did you become this guy? Because again, I tell you, real swanny roo. We actually talked about me and me and AC was actually talking about this a couple days ago. We want to know how the hell you became this roo. Now, don't get into it and don't get started just because we let me tell you right now just started. I can hear you, Ru. That's why I said I don't want you to talk with you, but I want to get my point out. What I'm saying is, how in the hell did you turn into this guy? Remind you, we know you, we know you, we know you on two different areas.
SPEAKER_05I'm talking about if you talk about stuff like that. I mean, I'm we kids. I mean, I just no, I don't give a fuck.
SPEAKER_03That ain't got nothing to do with nothing. We keep hold on that. Don't change your your emotional control from like middle school, high school to today.
SPEAKER_05I mean, we're kids.
SPEAKER_03No, hear me out. Like the difference between it ain't just that we were kids, shit, night and day, yeah.
SPEAKER_04Like a brand new nigga, like I tell you before you kids, bro. Like, no, that's not you. Ain't gonna use that, bro. We you're not gonna use that because again, bro, you kicked a basketball one time because you missed the layup in practice, dog.
SPEAKER_03I remember we was out of kids, like that's all I can say, bro. Like, but you know, the niggas that we knew who had temple problems growing up, same temple problem now, same temple problems now. A lot of them got F so they were point more, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_05I mean, I don't want to call nobody stupid, but I'm not stupid, so why would I be the same person?
SPEAKER_04Why you always call somebody stupid though? You always say you always call them stupid calls.
SPEAKER_06I'm not I'm not the shit because I'm gonna show you something real quick. Let me show you something real quick.
SPEAKER_03I I I know what I know what you're saying, I know, but like like what like is there something that you're comfortable sharing that like makes a switch flip? Cause like you used to be a hot head, and now I mean that's all but like now you the coolest nigga.
SPEAKER_05Man, I've always been a cool nigga, but I'm just saying it's just no, I said coolest nick niggas didn't say you wasn't cool, Adrian Bruh. Oh come on, man. Free to full of niggas, she like Quan. You the coolest.
SPEAKER_07Oh like that on the post, man.
SPEAKER_04Dang, yeah. Wait, let me see. I got the video right here though. So the nigga wanna keep playing. Hold on, which video?
SPEAKER_03Did you get any text overseas? Yeah. When's the last time you got a text?
SPEAKER_05Right, like middle school, some shit like that, a kid.
SPEAKER_03I don't bro. You ain't getting text.
SPEAKER_05I didn't get no cat text, no college, no like pro nothing like that. Nah, bro.
SPEAKER_04Where is this at? It was when Rue knows, you know, exactly.
SPEAKER_03Should have been good for folk texting, yeah. I didn't get no text in college. I'm saying, like the root, the rule we know should have been good for folk.
SPEAKER_04The rue, I know the rule. I know I know we cabin because I know for sure. Uh which I ain't gonna say I ain't gonna say he cabin because I can't say that when he went to college, when he went to uh when he went to uh he went to high school and uh start doing all that. I know for sure off you know, I vouched this one. I'm I'm merching this one when we went to uh when we played Brandon Knight eighth grade year in uh in uh Florida that was nationals going to goddamn uh middle school, I mean going to high school. I mean, I get it. So that's what I'm saying. That was the summer that you got into it that right then.
SPEAKER_03So you know what about sophomore year before the Cartersville game? Is it like I'm not even being funny?
SPEAKER_05Is that that may have been that may have been that may have been that's what I was thinking. That maybe was my last time getting a technical in my basketball career.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, because you had to miss an important game that you cared about, like I said, like I mean what happened.
SPEAKER_05That's what a 14 with that 14, 15, whatever, you know what I'm saying? Okay, that's all I can that's all I can tell you.
SPEAKER_03He because he got he got he got like a real tech and a stupid tech, uh the game before Cartersville, or two games before he can get to play in the game at Cass. And goddamn, uh I was like, maybe you know what I'm saying? Maybe that was the the thing because triggered it. Well, you know, it's on the wall right there. He can't see it, but you know that that was that yeah, that sophomore year. You know, all carry sophomore year.
SPEAKER_04Oh, so he didn't play in that game against uh the the the the senior team.

Rue can get a bucket, but y'all not finna do that. Y'all niggas wasn't loaded like we were. You not gonna do that. We would have beat the out of y'all still, like we did, and you can make that phase. Both of y'all can be on here together. I'll call my nigga P right now. P and Ted, but we would have whooped y'all boys regardless.
SPEAKER_03Y'all didn't want that money on them ones back in the day, though. I told y'all I was gonna give y'all a whole military O2 paycheck on my nigga Rue.
SPEAKER_04That's and it sounds good, it sounds good. The only thing that stopped me was my boy didn't show up, and I told you at that time I wasn't with Rue. So I excuse me, I definitely would have gone with dog. I didn't fuck, I didn't really with none of y'all because you know I'm I'm I'm a Cardiffille to the shoes, and to the shoes, but it was like you see what I'm saying, shit like that. I don't give a fuck. I'm not lying about it. I'm Cardiff to the shoes, so like I said, it's yeah, I'm riding with my nigga, especially P.
SPEAKER_03Hey Rue, when they was talking the crazy one-on-one shit on Facebook, you wasn't around for it because you had on Facebook.
SPEAKER_04No, Rue, he wasn't on Facebook, but I mean I didn't know me and Ru me and Rue had the conversation.
SPEAKER_03But I I I told I told everybody I had a whole month of my O2 pay when I was out when I was out in San Diego, uh uh on my nigga.
Labels, “Toxic,” And Choosing What To Engage
SPEAKER_04On guard, on god, rue which I don't even know if Rue remember this conversation. It was the it was the I want to say it was the second night. Matter of fact, you remember the first night when when when me and you got introduced to them woods, pause when we got opened up on them, right? But listen, then y'all got opened up on them. Just chill, bro. Man, you gotta Rue. The second night we got when you came to the spot and we got on them guys, and we really went no, I'm telling you, chill out. Listen, chill me and Rue. The when we first when I can't cut no corner. No, no, no, no. I can't I gotta tell the whole thing because I can't cut no corner. Is when we first went uh when Rue first came to the when he first came back from overseas, he brought he came back with backwoods. No, that was what was going on. The first time we went to the club, me, me, him, and then we went to the club, we ran through a whole pack of woods. The second day he came back. Well, second day he came to the spot. Me and him ran through a whole pack of backwoods, and I didn't know how to roll them, so I I end up busting them down like it was a regular wood, I mean like a regular squish, and just and just busted down, you know, the woo on some country dumb shit. Long story short, that's when we had the conversation. I told him I was like, bro, listen, I'm ri. I mean, I'm I know your bucket, I ain't walking bucket, but at that particular time, I was riding with P.
SPEAKER_05I couldn't lie, I was like he cool, he can lose his money. That's all I got.
SPEAKER_03I was a nigga that I was like, I look at I lose my shit behind dog, but hey, you know what? There's a reason why Las Vegas is such a beautiful rich city. It's a lot of niggas out here to make bad bets with their hearts and not with their heads, so it's okay. I understand. I I get you, I would lose at not today because nigga don't hoop no more. There was a time I would lose money that would bother me. Oh, talking about my nigga. Same thing, same way, and I mean I feel the same way, honestly. The same thing because with P and Chris, but hey, what we're not gonna keep doing is like glazing these niggas, especially.
SPEAKER_04I mean, I ain't gonna we ain't gonna we ain't gonna glaze them. It's uh we gotta be real, especially when we talking, we're talking gambling, both of them. But I'm saying is if we're talking gambling purposes, somebody told me gamble with you, you know who the one he owe me money. So again, that's the shit I be fuck him, but like I said, it's like it is anyway with all that, he still he owed me money this season. That's what be that's what be the problem with me with niggas, and we'll talk about all that off camera. But yeah, like I say, is it dog? I would I still feel like would have lost I would have lost behind dog if it would have made sense if they would have jumped out there, but you know, idiot what is let's jump to this next topic then, real quick. Excuse me. Um treat your man like your manager. What what what that mean?
SPEAKER_03Oh man, I was on uh Instagram, you know. Let's see, let me see. Listen to this real what you think about this right here, my dog.
SPEAKER_02Treat your husband like you do your manager. 8 a.m. And you said, okay. Your husband told you what time to do. And you're frustrated by making you late. Now, if you're late to work, they recognize that's a bad habit. All right. You're late for your husband, you don't think it's a bad habit, you just think he's supposed to wait on you. Oh yeah, I'm I might I might I might need to transfer to a bear. I might have to borrow your gym shoes, we're gonna have to switch.
SPEAKER_05That's it. What's up with these niggas, bro? Why these like first of all, let's the number one reason. Let's uh let's know why they why they get on camera and say this for a reaction. So let's put that up, let's put that out there.
SPEAKER_03Well, he was a he was a pastor at church preaching to his congregation.
SPEAKER_05Oh, that was a pastor, yeah.
SPEAKER_03I'm just talking about the words. Oh boy, I ready to go close up, Mr. Deville. I need another close up, Mr. Deville.
SPEAKER_04I didn't know y'all didn't catch me. No, I know what it I didn't say because I didn't think you were gonna say that about it. I'm ready for my close up, Mr. Deville.
SPEAKER_05I'm gonna fuck up a movie quote. I'm ready for another close up, Mr. Deville.
SPEAKER_04I just wore that shirt last week just because I don't let niggas know that what it is.
SPEAKER_03I'm ready for another close-up, Mr. DeVio. But nah, what but but but why why would a woman be more responsive to her manager than her man?
SPEAKER_05Like why everybody always trying to like oh you gotta do this, oh man, you gotta be this, oh you gotta do this. Oh man, just see your bitch 20,000 because oh man, I want a nigga to just oh, I want a nigga to do this. Oh man, this shit killing me, boy. What you mean? Everybody, well, I get it. Everybody wants something out. Somebody I get it, I get it. Just don't misuse me. What's the saying?
SPEAKER_04Don't misuse me. Well, you said something then, boy.
SPEAKER_05You said something, don't you misuse me? Obviously, using me. You know what I'm saying? Let's just you know.
SPEAKER_03I mean, everybody uses each other.
SPEAKER_05That's why I say obviously using me.
SPEAKER_03Like, like if y'all, if y'all weren't good friends, I wouldn't hang out with y'all to talk to y'all to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_04What up, brother? Who over there?
SPEAKER_03Nigga, ain't nobody over here.
SPEAKER_05Oh, y'all talking like it's on my comments. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Don't you try to blow up my spot like that, nigga? Come on now. But yeah, well, this camera is fucking freaking me out. That's that little uh that little movement kind of hard. Doing it too much. It's goddamn giving me the heebie jeebies. But now, um, but nah, V, what you think about it? Do you think a woman should should should give her man the respect that she would give her manager?
SPEAKER_04Well, maybe more, not less. Um that's a slippery slope, but I'm gonna tell you because honestly, I run a tight ship in my in my situation. So, again, I feel like I am a manager anyway, with everything. I want you like Google anyway. So, it's like I said, like everything gonna be on the tight ship, everything's gonna be run, you know, it's gonna be done, it's gonna be done accordingly. So, again, I agree personally, but again, it's like I don't even want you to necessarily treat me like the manager, I want you to treat me like the owner of the company. Anytime mother comes in there, you you get nervous. You get what I'm saying? Like I don't start working hard, drop your head, don't do nothing.
SPEAKER_05Don't get me wrong, that's what Charleston White said that shit too. He was like, I want you to be the cheat, they only treat the manager with respect when he walk in.
SPEAKER_04They yeah, no, no, no, no, treat me like the motherfucking owner, don't do all that playing with me. No, sir. No, no, no. When you see me outside, outside of the work being had a lot of people. Everybody do this, everybody do this where you want to. You need something, yeah.
SPEAKER_03But you know what the manager gets that the owner don't get? What's that? That manager gets to see the real you, too.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, but again, I don't want that. That's what I'm saying. Sometimes I don't want that, especially if I want you. If you my chick, if you my little shit and we ain't that though. Let's say if you my little shit and we ain't that, when you come in and you see me, you treat me like you only gonna see me for a minute. Don't get in here, don't think, don't get comfortable with me. Don't think you gotta start talking too much, telling me your life story. Because again, this business, we in here for business. You get in here and you do what you gotta do, and you you make sure I'm satisfied, and then I send your motherfucking ass on back to work.
SPEAKER_03You know what they have emotionally connect, beat it.
SPEAKER_04You see what I'm saying? You heard what I said, beat it. That's all it is, bro. Fucking beat it, and that's all it is.
SPEAKER_03You don't want to spend a night in coding?
SPEAKER_04The thing is now, bruh. Like now, now I'm gonna tell you no draw so now. I now the the is well, listen. This look, this little girl I got now. She don't let nobody come have fun. So again, it's like I said, that's all I that's enough for me right there. That's all I just enough. The little girl, right? Man, that's all right now. I don't need no extra that's gonna bring extra half.
SPEAKER_05Well, whip her little ass VJ telling right.
SPEAKER_04Listen, bro, I'm about tired of I'm tired of legit rules. I ain't gonna bullshit, but I'm about ready to tell motherfucking ass up, boy. Think she ran my life now. I swear that's my dog, but boy, she feels like she ran my life. God damn, I can't do nothing no more. I sit over trying to sneak off and try and you know, go do my thing, but we're gonna start knocking on the door. Where you at, daddy? That's all you hear, daddy. Daddy, listen, that boy, listen, got almighty. That makes you feel good. It makes you feel good as fuck. Well, listen, I'm tired of it, Rue. I mean, Lee, I'm tired, but I need a break. That's why I said I need somebody to treat me like the owner. Because again, let's say if that's my if my girlfriend, if if my lady, wife, whatever, if she married a dating or whatever with the owner of the business and this being is booming, let's say for example, let's be like, have you ever been the boss and and dealt with a worker? Can is clean service number one in the world. That answered everything. Can is cleaning service number one in the world.
SPEAKER_03So, yes, you know when when you have a boss and she likes you, oh god, you can get the best out of her.
SPEAKER_04You see what I'm saying? You have to work until you make her feel like she's like you like her. Now, when she likes you, it's cool, but when she like when y'all both like each other, now that's when the shit goes downhill. Ragged it, now the shit goes downhill.
SPEAKER_03When you like man, come on. If you work in management other, don't mess with the help. For one, you end up like Sharon Moore.
SPEAKER_05God told me, first of all, I'm pretty sure that's against the company policy, but you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Treat Your Partner Like The Owner, Not The Manager
SPEAKER_03But but every time, but if you work there, you know what happens, right? So here's the awesome, here's the other problem. You end up getting a bad worker and a bad woman, and you gotta deal with both of them on and off duty.
SPEAKER_04Facts, don't do it, don't do it. That should have cost it'll cost you more than it wouldn't you think it will, Jack. That should cost you way more than what you think it will. You know, that's why I believe in never mind.
unknownLet me not say that.
SPEAKER_04Let's move it on because it's gonna get us started. It's gonna get us started. Rule Lee, let me ask you because I this is a question that I've been seeing because I know what you're referring this to. What does a baddie bring to the table at all, if anything?
SPEAKER_03Well, I think Natalie Nunn should tell us what a baddie brings first because she knows better than me.
SPEAKER_05Because baddie, I like what she said.
SPEAKER_03Let me hear what she says.
SPEAKER_05What she said, we paid her bills.
SPEAKER_00They don't care, baddies don't care.
SPEAKER_01But but what I'm what I'm referring to is it's not necessarily about money all the time.
SPEAKER_00And I think you said that it is. You said, What is it that makes a male no?
SPEAKER_01I will say it again.
SPEAKER_00Okay, say it again.
SPEAKER_01Why should a man take a baddie seriously?
SPEAKER_00I just told you when they make more money and they're the boss, she's the boss.
SPEAKER_03So he makes a whatever what man would take a woman seriously as his boss in his personal life, respectfully.
SPEAKER_04Sorry, what I was trying to respectfully with what she said on that. Now that's different because again, I feel like Cam answering it from Cam's perspective, you know, and that's that's what she's saying.
SPEAKER_05She Natalie's saying, like, look here, y'all need got money while you won't want no, you know what I'm saying? Well, you want no, you know, no bitches coming like that too.
SPEAKER_03See, I like that no no no that ain't what she was saying, and see that, but that's why I feel your boss, and then all right, cool, you're not my boss.
SPEAKER_05Let's you know what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_03I got yeah, so she wasn't saying she wasn't saying, like, hey, you a nigga with money, I'm a girl with money, let's link up and have money.
SPEAKER_05Well, she but no girl with money not gonna want no nigga like that. But you're crazy out of ten, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04I ain't gonna say that room, you crazy as hell.
SPEAKER_03Because the girls with money can't the girls with money struggle to get the guys with money because the guys with money are living a different lifestyle, and the control that a girl with money wants to have on a nigga can't have a control.
SPEAKER_04That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_05I see rich bitches all the time up here with rich motherfuckers walking around with rich motherfuckers, but it's different, it's different, it's different.
SPEAKER_04What I'm saying is just before I go, is with with with a guy like Cam with him asking that question. Cam is looking at it from Cam Newton's perspective compared to a nigga like if VJ asked that question to Natalie Nunn. Not saying, not saying nothing different, but I am saying this Natalie Nunn has been solidified for 20 years.
SPEAKER_03I don't know why the bitch is ugly.
SPEAKER_04I mean, she may be ugly. Somebody first season, but it what I don't even think Cam was asking that.
SPEAKER_03Cam was literally asking, okay, y'all are baddies.
SPEAKER_04What do y'all bring to the table? Yeah, like do I get in? So what's the problem? What makes you ask Cam is asking that from a nigga who's already a no, no, I'm just saying, no, for any nigga, no, I'm saying we would ask it in that type of vibe. What what I'm saying is if you listen to the interview, Cam is I feel like Cam asked that question in a Cam perspective, and the reason why I say that is because Cam is asking, what can a baddie bring to the table? A pussy. Just one second, let me answer that. Is compared to a nigga like, for example, VJ, a regular degula ain't in the me, ain't in the mix. I don't ain't trying to do all that. If I want if I just want the money, a baddie can bring money, stability, like comfort, all that. Just one second, just one second, just one second. She can bring all that to the table to a nigga who don't want to don't want the light, don't want to be in the scene. He just wants money, he just wants that. He can still let his girl be the phase, do all that. That's what that is compared to a nigga like Cam. If he's saying from what his perspective is, is he's already established, he's already a quote unquote MVP of the NFL, big money woot-the-woo. If he gets her, she's just Natalie Nunn over here. You get what I'm saying? Like, she's not the boss that she is compared to a Cam Newton.
SPEAKER_03If any nigga gets Natalie None, he's tripping.
SPEAKER_04You're not gonna do that.
SPEAKER_05First of all, she's married. Let's just say that. She has what she's married, like she already got a husband.
SPEAKER_03Oh, so so so no, but but so she's tied down and she's now just making money off the bullshit. Okay, I got it.
SPEAKER_05I mean, she, but I'm saying, but y'all, y'all take out y'all take out that I thought it was called capitalism in America. What'd you say? She he was saying, like, oh, so she's making money doing all this, and I said, I thought it was called capitalism.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_05You promote things you don't believe in, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_04But even then, though, that's what I'm saying is if y'all think I think y'all looking at it a different way as well. Because if Natalie asked a regular broke, and I don't want to call nobody broke, but if she if she asked a regular Dangler guy, they're broke compared to her. If you say this with a regular that's my point right there, that's my point right there.
SPEAKER_05Depends on what type of depends on what type of liberty.
SPEAKER_04That's that's my point. If Natalie Nunn come to you and and you a regular nigga, you ain't never that's the thing. If she comes to you and say that now, but listen, now she finna turn me up, she finna give me some money, she finna do all this and that compared to her going to a nigga like Cam Newton, who's already established, who's already high in the trophy winner, who's already an MVP in the NFL, who's already 14 and one, one one win away from a Super Bowl champ. It's like it's so much shit that comes with Cam with him compared to a regular degree guy who just a host of a podcast. But she's ugly. I don't give a fuck. Some uh who else ugly? Wanda Sykes is ugly. If she brings her big ugly ass over here to me and put some of that pooky on me and tell me I got a chick waiting on me, I'm gonna knock her shoes off.
SPEAKER_03No, no, no, no, no. I'm not talking about knocking shoes off. When she starts talking about hold on, no, no, no. When when she starts talking a boss chick, I make the money, this and that, there are certain things that come with that construct of you dealing with that person. And the leash is shorter for ugly women, and I'm not saying that because I got anything against ugly women, I'm just saying pretty women get away with a lot of bullshit that less attractive women don't get away with. It's different if it was an actual baddie with some money, bro. It could be Drea, and Natalie Nug could be worth more money than Drea, but Dre is sitting there saying some of that same stuff hit a little bit different because it's a baddie talking about baddies. I don't want no ugly ass telling me what a baddie is. Bitch, you ain't bad.
SPEAKER_05I don't think I think I think they going so more off the i i know I know they're going out for a show, it's it's it's it's it's branding.
SPEAKER_03I I get that, but nigga ain't nobody looked at Natalie Nunn and said, Oh, that bitch bad.
SPEAKER_05She married, so I don't even know why that she be, you know.
SPEAKER_03Because man, I know she making money, but you know, but she just be like, But see, a lot of people don't even think about it like that, Rue. You got like niggas be listening to that shit, not knowing she married, just going along with it, and you sitting here like just like a rapper or actor, you know what I mean? That's that's but you gotta understand a lot of people believe these uh believe these raptors, raptor, rapper, raptors, rappers, and actors and shit, bro. Like they they take them for for their word, they don't look at it like uh man, this nigga is entertainment. They be like, Nah, hey bro, you know, bag, he really did that, and you know future, he really in the trenches.
SPEAKER_05Do niggas think Denzel is really a cricket cop?
SPEAKER_03Depends on who you ask because he play a lot of crooked cropped cops in a lot of movies. I don't really know one. That shit, it's another one. That's uh I was watching it uh yesterday. I forgot what it's called.
SPEAKER_05Two guns. They not no cricket cop all the him and Mark.
SPEAKER_04It wasn't two guns, it's just two guns. It was definitely cricket cops. Berg's a racist.
SPEAKER_05I know that, but I don't think they was racist.
SPEAKER_07Oh yeah, they man.
SPEAKER_05He got he got arrested, he got arrested for hate problems when he was a teenager.
SPEAKER_04Well, no, you gotta also shit, bro. He was in Boston, he was in Boston, man.
SPEAKER_05You up to possibly good change up there, but I know his I know where he grew up at, so that's just how you know I mean, like I know. That's my point.
SPEAKER_03He a kid, he probably changed, but man pulling, but you know what? Now that's that that that's a good conversation, though. Fuck all the fellowship.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, that's right, yeah. Like we're we're talking about I don't I don't I don't say he hasn't, but I'm just letting you know it's there.
SPEAKER_04So he done said nigger before. Oh yeah, he said nigger.
SPEAKER_03The way the way I was a football coach, but he tried to use that one, but he tried to be urban though, so obviously he's fascinated.
SPEAKER_05You know what I mean? So he got some sort of fascination.
SPEAKER_03But but here's the thing that I think it gets lost in all these uh race black race black conversations, right? A lot of these niggas don't actually know white people like that, and don't they don't know racist white people, so they want to tell you what racist white people be thinking. All of us know some cool racist white people. Mump up racist as hell, but when you talk to them, when you interact with them, it's respect, it's cool, it's whatever, whatever. Hey, I don't fuck with y'all niggas. Hey, cool, I fuck with you. Yeah, you might you my favorite black boy. I don't got many of Lewis, but yeah, yeah. So, like you we understand that hey yo, racist people have hearts. We understand that it is a culture that is built into them, and some of that shit is stupid, just like I think LA gang culture is stupid, but niggas don't look at both of them the same way and give that same uh uh uh leniency to these people, be like, hey bro, if I'm five generations into hate niggers, two cool niggas ain't gonna change my mind.
SPEAKER_04Stop doing that, bro.
SPEAKER_03No, but I but I'm saying that like on purpose to draw a point, you know what I mean? Like, dog, it everybody who has a fucked up belief isn't a bad person. They were just they were just given fucked up beliefs by people they trust and love, and there's no reason, and they haven't been given a reason to go against those people.
SPEAKER_04Oh no, bro. I got on some Todd shit. No, that's a fact though. No, what you're saying is some real shit. Don't won't say no name. I mean, I didn't mean it. Yeah, that's what I said out, little three man. We we we come we waiting to see my dog.
SPEAKER_03You ain't seen three yet.
SPEAKER_04I still ain't gonna see him.
SPEAKER_03I met him at the basketball game.
SPEAKER_04I've been waiting to see him. I didn't want to, I didn't want to overload my dog because you know the last last couple last couple weeks has been a lot of crazy shit because of y'all. So I've been waiting on him. I've been waiting on my boy to let me talk two, three weeks ago. I know I'm just waiting on him to see you for him to say, Hey, V, I'm ready for you to come see baby boy. Whenever he say that I'm coming, but I ain't trying to overstep away. I ain't trying to come over.
SPEAKER_03Hey, no bullshit. I told him the same thing. I'll lie, hey bro. I I don't I don't overstep boy. You got a big family, she got a family. I know they get on y'all goddamn nerves.
SPEAKER_04I ain't overstep nothing. I ain't finna do that. I don't overstep nothing. I'm I'm the only so you ready for me.
SPEAKER_05I'm last one left. I'm the long wolf, right? What you say now? I'm the last one left, right? No, you the only one left. I like that nigga.

I like everything look good. Y'all got y'all Christmas pictures, the goddamn cards and everything. Send them out off the AI images. I love that. Nah, man. That shit look good.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but here here's the problem. The more and more real they they start to look, now you can be somewhere that you wasn't. Now prove you wasn't.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, that's a fact. But then again, that's black. But then again, it'd be one of them things where it's just like, you know what? I don't if I gotta go through all that shit, fuck it. I just wanted a good like a person, I just want you to have a good picture, and I want you to have a good time. That's all I wanted out of it.
SPEAKER_03But you like pick, you know what I pictures they are memories of a good time. So if we can't create the good time, it won't be worth it. We don't deserve the picture because oh, you can put our faces together. Oh, we're connected to each other. But like when we go back and get our memories and we see them old pictures, like that. Picture of us that one night at the local, you know what I mean? It's like me, you, Dean, Rue.

Yeah, and like these young niggas, they already don't go outside, they play video games and talk on the phone. Like, I don't want people to lose too much of what real life is. Yeah, virtual life is cool. I play them both, have fun. But dog man, you gotta live in real life, man.

SPEAKER_03You want to talk about fucking hard R.
SPEAKER_04Yeah, because again, I Mr. Raw Dog himself. I got pissed off last night.
SPEAKER_03Um how they was whooping ass and then did Falcon shit and then did Falcon shit, and how this team could be so good, and we've seen it and flashes all year, and the division is fucked up, and our record it, you know what I mean, is it's terrible, but we're gonna be eight and nine again, more than likely, like we were last year, and the year before, and the year before. And if we would just would have won this one game here, we would be nine and eight. Oh, won the division, or if we would have just if we would have just beat Tampa week one, uh uh, if we would just beat uh Carolina, uh uh uh that uh twice. You know what I mean? No, they they they kicked our ass that one game, even though it was close. I mean, it wasn't that bad if you watched it, but like if we just would have beat one of them two games, oh shit, we we won 10 games. We're gonna we win the division, we go to the playoffs, we like what we have. Oh shit, Kirk Cousins looks like a really good fucking quarterback when he actually gets to play week in and week out. Maybe he should have started over Michael Penix. You know what I mean? Uh uh Falcons, you know, you you allowed Desmond Ritter to be your starting quarterback when Baker Mayfield was a free agent. Oh, and you didn't have any competition. It's just all these different things. That's like, hey, bro, y'all niggas are real good at winning eight, seven, eight games a year and like getting niggas' hopes up either at the beginning of the season or at the end of the season or playing really good football in spots that shows, hey, no, the talent's there. And oh, the coaching gets it when they get it. Bro, I'm just so done with these niggas, bro. Bro, listen. I barely watched the game last night. Like, I like bro, why'd I want to watch this? It didn't matter. And oh yeah, in my big money fantasy league, I lost to the championship.
SPEAKER_062500.
SPEAKER_0324, yeah, lost. Was it bad? Yes, like my whole team and my bitch was terrible. Like, I knew I was beat after goddamn the Thursday games for real, for real. Like, like it was bad, bro. Like, I didn't even watch football on Sunday.
SPEAKER_04It was that bad, and that's a championship. Oh nigga, you know how rough Mike Mike and to be that close to 2400.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. And then you just like and they pull it up off me. Yeah, there's no way in hell I'm gonna win, bro. I don't even want to watch this game.
SPEAKER_06Fuck football and fuck gambles.
SPEAKER_03Hey, no gambles, I love you. I called that nigga on Christmas. I said, I hope everybody in our group has a great Christmas except for you. Facts. Fuck your Christmas.
SPEAKER_04Shout out gambles. I'm proud he won. Shout out. I don't know, gambles. Shout out gambles. We proud you won, baby. I love that. I'm about to say, you know, we love that. But nah, it's just really, bro, what you just said is like a reflection of my whole this whole season. Is I as much as I love Hard R is I I want him to come back. I can't take him back. I can't. Um so many games that we should have won. Uh, so many last minute calls that I just I wanted to put in his hands. I just I can't. And it's like I said, it's like you said, now when I sit over and I I think about all the coaches that was open about two years ago when Baker Mayfield was wide open, nobody wanted him. We could have got it for fucking crumbs.
SPEAKER_03I think Tampa got all like five, three, somewhere between like three and five million that first year.
SPEAKER_04We fuck around and go the next year, spend eighty million dollars on fucking Kirk Cousins. You get what I'm saying? So it's like I said, it's certain shit is cool, but then certain shit is like what the fuck are we really? We knew Desmond Ritter wasn't answer. We knew that.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I mean shit.
AI Photos vs Real Memories
SPEAKER_04I knew Arthur Smith wasn't, you know, and the thing is hell, I can get out there and do a better job than Desmond Ritter, and it's the fact of it's like Desmond Ritter, he might work for the company we work for at this point. You get what I'm saying? He may be in management. High How it's like at this point, it's like, bro, no bullshit. His vest look different. He gets the color vest with the red stripes in the back. But again, it's like I said, bro, at this point, it's like certain shit is it get old. But as a Falcon fan, I'm happy about the last three. I'm happy how we're going out. But as a as a real Falcon, this shit is pathetic. This shit is fucking pathetic that we have been damn near 10 years, no, no playoffs. No, nothing. No, no, no, no, no, no, even not even in the hunt. Like we weren't even in the hunt to where we could almost get in. You get what I'm saying? So at this point now, I just I want a clean house. Um, I love Jesse Bates. I want him to come back. I want um I want the other young guy, Xavier Watts. I think that's like I want I want all the I want the whole defense to come back on fire like they was. I want Ulbrick to stay.
SPEAKER_03Like, like whoever our new head coach is, bro, you gotta keep Jeff Ulbrick. Defense. Like, like, like, no, no, the defense is fine. Like, like, honestly, if Raheem could get a uh OC I was just gonna say who is a former head coach, like that we respect, that's the only way I'd keep him. But I will tell you, V, as much as I've been happy most of the year that life whooped my ass and I didn't have my Falcons tickets last night, it was hard to watch. Because it was because we was whooping ass, and you know how I be talking shit. And then the game gets tight, and then we still win. And you know how niggas have been talking shit once it got tight. Here the Falcons go Falcon. You would have been and you know, you know I when we hit that film though, but you know I was sitting niggas home, but like the way I was like, and to not be able to be there and do that, I ain't gonna hold you, bro. Like watching Falcons game on T-Donfe. I can't watch a home game on TV no more.
SPEAKER_06Like it don't feel the same.
SPEAKER_03Like next, like I wanted to protest and and not get season tickets next year because fuck them niggas because of what they're putting on the field. But I can't watch the Falcons home games at home, bro. I cannot do that. Like, like I'm sitting there and I'm looking, I'm thinking about my people, you know what I mean? Like, uh I'm thinking about a man, I'm thinking about OG over here, like my young nigga, yo, but I'm like wanting to talk to my people and bro, that shit shit get old, buddy. But I ain't even said this shit out loud before, but it like I I damn, bro. I really can't watch Falcons games. Listen, I can't watch Falcons home games no more because you ain't there live.
SPEAKER_04Listen, I understand, bro. Like, listen, that's what I'm saying.
