P dub, man, PWG and me, true global mafia entertainment, always on time, always on deck for everything in my life. You know what I'm saying? For the duration, past, present, future. You feel me? I'm saying it's the cookout, man. You already know what to do, man. You see us duoed up, it's how we rocking today. You feel me? But no matter what, nigga, we strongly because it's built on dub and reckless. We are the Sunday cookout.

SPEAKER_01 0:47

Facts, facts. You know what I'm saying? Because we was already cooking, popping like fish grease before we even had a guest. You feel me?

SPEAKER_00 0:54

Right.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

Go right, we want to go check the stats like ESPN that and that, that and that. Right, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 1:02

But but I like we we always talk about off backstage, we always talk about that anyway. Sometimes it's is it's good for us to just to do that anyway from current event. Like why is it because me and you talk about sports, we pretty long-winded sometimes about certain topics, and then not only that, sometimes who's ever uh the moderator doesn't really get to get off a lot of his opinions because you try to make sure that the other like the guests and everybody get their shit off, and you kind of just chime in, which is cool, but sometimes you might have like you know a passion about a certain topic. So that's a good segue for passion because I'm passionate about a topic that I'm about to talk on, right? And the topic is if y'all seen the promo, where's Waldog? Where's Pete? Peter Evelyn, you know what I'm saying? It's not my artist, my boy, you know what I'm saying? Supposed to be my folks, my business partner, supposed to be global my entertainment. Where is he? Y'all seen the flower? I don't see him. We looking both ways before we cross the street. I don't see him. He ain't down there in the little present box, like you can add him to the stage. I don't see him. He was texting me 35 minutes ago. I don't see him. The nigga ain't in Atlanta in Jamaica, you know what I'm saying? I don't see him. At the end of the day, y'all know I really don't really go and do reckless rants because you know we're gonna we're gonna name this the reckless rant. This is the first actual installment, even though we didn't see him wrecked it off. You feel me? We're gonna call this a real reckless rant. Shout out to Global, you know what I'm saying? We're gonna call this a real reckless rant, right? This the first installment. It's been a few times on the show where people been late, and we don't, we don't, we don't we we don't mind you being late. You know what I'm saying? You late, we backstage chilling on you, we give you like a 15-20 minute, you know, uh uh grace period. You know what I'm saying, right? Even if you tap in, somebody tells you like, oh brown be that's cool, that's a tap in, that's grown man shit, right? As a grown man, you tap in, you say something, it's forgiving. Even if you tap in late, but if you just go ghost, oh man, that's a sin. Now, me personally, I don't really like to attack people online. I wouldn't say for off-camera or just let it go because I feel like the internet ain't really built on no real g shit, no gangster shit like that. So if I ever go on a gangster mall, I'm not really gonna talk about it on here. That's just my preference. But if I know you personally, it's different, you know what I'm saying? Because if I know you personally, whatever you want, I can see you later. You feel me? I'm saying so. In this case, my nigga Pete. My nigga Pete, man, Peter Evelyn, right? All the stuff we go through with this global mafia shit. You don't even know, even I'm gonna let you in on something else. When me and Rec talk, it's different from we got motion. Shout out to my boy Cal Wood, right? It's different on Week Out Motion. We like to uh interview artists do like you know, music stuff, stuff like that on a Sunday cookout. It ain't that we are averse to that. We do want to know what you're doing. You dropping a book, dropping album, shit like, but we don't do really record reviews over here. We talk current events, we talk politics, we talk media. You know what I'm saying? That's what we on, whether it's the bullshit of it or the real shit of it. You know what I'm saying? That's that's really what the Sunday cookout is the essence of. So to have Pete on here, have makers around somebody drop an album soon, new singles and already dropped and all stuff was really a privilege for you to be on here. Because this is a it's not just dub saying, Come on the show because I said so. You know what I'm saying? That's not what it is. I team up with somebody and say, Hey bro, what you think about this? You know what I'm saying? So that means in tandem we agreed to that. So if you don't show up and you don't have nothing to say, just to me, I don't use you weird, but that's some bitch ass shit. That's some real bitch ass shit. I could laugh about it, I could be mad about it, but because I don't even really take motherfuckers seriously in this shit because of the way they move and the way they don't move, hey, it is what it is. Really, this is a microcosm of who you are when you don't show up and you don't say nothing, even say why you ain't showed up before we start the show. If you see this and you somewhere either in the corner looking at it, laughing or being a bitch ass nigga. Hey, go ahead and tap it. You slide in record CD got a control room. We decide you're gonna show. Other than that, that's my reckless rant for this week. Record you got something to add to that, man. Go ahead, man.

SPEAKER_01 4:59

No, man. I think you handled that, you know what I'm saying? Quite frankly, a very elegantly. You feel me? You did that, you know what I'm saying? Dead ass. I mean, it just would be as with anything, bro. You know what I mean? It ain't no different than showing up to the studio on time, showing up a video shoot on time, showing up, you know what I'm saying, to promote your album on time, listening party, you know what I'm saying? It's all the same dynamics, you feel me, all the way to going to a job interview on time or showing up early to them. So that way, hey, they might have time just go ahead and knock it out. They see you there early, they already impressed you there early. Just the little stuff, you know what I'm saying? The little intangibles that people don't say too much about, but they know this hella heavy, you know what I mean? Because let's say we could have had, you know what I'm saying, Dr. Dre up here. You feel me? Like, hey bro, I'm about to listen to your artist, see what he's talking about. Broom, boom. You you just you just you know what I'm saying, drop the ball, you just fumble that quick. That could have been anybody, it could be anybody watching this, anybody tapped into your music, anybody that's a fan, you know what I'm saying? So it don't even necessarily look bad on us, it look worse on them because bro, the show gonna go on regardless, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 6:16

So right, and now and not only that, Rick, to piggyback on that, you never really know what who gonna who's gonna have eyes on something at any given time, you know. Because think about it, bro. It's times you know, you we be minding and because you know you can see the comments who tapped in what page that you feel me. It might be people tapping some days, it's more than others with the comments, with all that stuff. Sometimes you look back on shit and be like, I didn't even know this one. You don't never know who watches. So, even for like whatever you got going on, like you know what I'm saying, you just never know who might tap in. So, but but it but it's even it's an even bigger slap in the face to me because it's somebody I it's somebody not only that I know, but it's somebody I do business with. You feel me? I'm saying, and one thing we do say about this wreck is that we the show must go on, but every week we here, and and and that don't mean mean you ain't got shit going on, that don't mean that mean you might not be feeling it today. That don't that don't mean none of that, it just means that bruh, no matter what, we're gonna make sure we there, unless we decide to do a show on a Monday instead of a Sunday or something like that. You feel me? That's about it. So it's like, bro, it's disrespectful. Um, I don't like it. I'ma laugh it off because I'm not gonna be mad about it, but I but I but this is why I don't be taking motherfuckers serious, bro. This I'm telling you, bro, this is why I really don't be taking people serious. Because if you take people too serious, bro, you will want to do something to somebody, you know what I'm saying? That's it, that's all.

SPEAKER_01 7:36

Nah, that's for real, bro. I mean, not to even name no names, but I had a situation where I'm just supporting a brother because hey, you know what I'm saying? I rock with his music, you feel me? I rock with the wave, I rock with what he's doing because he's trying to do something positive. It's because I didn't want to pay for an interview to have him on the show. I got caught a weirdo. You really like I get caught a weirdo because I'm just supporting you genuinely. And then when I ask to get you on the show, and you like, oh man, I I charge for interviews. I'm like, oh well, it's all love, bro. You feel me? Hey, I can't knock your hustle, you know what I'm saying? We're gonna pay for interviews on our side, but hey, it's still love. I still support you, you know what I'm saying? Support it 399. I get hit back with the oh man gone for you, a weirdo. Sorry, you feel me? Genuine supporters being a weirdo now, you know what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_00 8:26

What we see at today, a month, a couple a month later, we see what weird shit we see with the same nigga though. You feel me? That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Right now, now we're seeing what he really talking about, and what he really about in a character, how how he moving, how he rock, like nasty work, you know what I'm saying? So, really, him not doing the interview did us a favor by the platform, right?

SPEAKER_00 8:49

Right, it was a blessing, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 8:52

That was just a man above looking out for the Sunday cookout, like nah, bro. You know what I'm saying? I know you rock with him, but you don't really want to rock with him. Let me let me show you some things real quick. You feel me? So that was really just a blessing in disguise. So I wouldn't even mad at that, you know what I'm saying? Because my support is genuine. If I rock with you, I'll rock with you. You feel me?

SPEAKER_00 9:10

And not only that, he the same motherfucker rocking around with stacks of 20s and hundreds and all day, you feel me? I'm saying right. So it's like, bro, I don't know, man. Like I was supposed to say you might have had a church meeting. Like at the end of the day, but look, we're gonna move forward, though. The reckless rant, I love it. I remember, matter of fact, anybody that's doing this live or later, if you have a topic that you want reckless and or I to rant about, hit us with it in the DM or something like that, and be like, hey man, we need a reckless rant. You feel me? About ABC and D. And we're gonna provide that for you, man. We're gonna provide that, we're gonna make that a segment. Matter of fact, we're gonna make a little banner. We're gonna pop it up that reckless rant. You know what I'm saying? Because we got regulars, we got shit about Trump. Uh, nice segue to this next game. Some people might got a reckless rant about that. I was happy about it though. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 9:57

I was happy about look, I ain't no hater. I ain't no hater, you feel me? So, like me, New York winning really don't matter because Spurs is our rivals anyway. Y'all know I'm a Lakers fan, so the Spurs is our rival anyway. But let's just keep it uh let's just keep it uh all the way abandoned 100 grand when it came to that game, the last game, and the one that was last night, Spurs should have won both of those games. You feel me? So I'm gonna keep it 100. They did that shit to themselves, bro. Man, this is this is what Shaq be talking about. Anybody seven foot and up, you should not be living outside the paint when it comes to your basketball game, bro. If you that athletic, that mobile, bro, he could be in the paint on some Hakeem Elijah Wan V2.0 type shit. You feel me? Why are you taking pull-up threes, bro?

SPEAKER_00 10:58

It seemed like they do that in the beginning when they splashing, like when they hot, they don't know how to second half. Let's grind this bitch out now, make the game muck, let's muck it up and slow it down. When you doing a quick shot, you just giving uh the the the other team uh like you know saying a chance at a possession when you hitting it, look like something, but you gotta sustain that shit for four quarters.

SPEAKER_01 11:18

Let's just keep it one, let's keep it on honey. Jordan nor Kobe would have blew no 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, bro.

SPEAKER_00 11:28

Even though hold on, it was a comeback. Boston did come back on Kobe and them that one time in the playoffs when Boston won their championship. It was like a 24-point comeback when Big Baby and all of them was over there, big baby and posy and them. They did come back, but I don't I ain't saying it was Kobe's fault. Boston didn't have a hell of a team and they was super rivals. I kind of separate that. I don't I didn't look at I couldn't look at like I could look at this game and see that from the coaching standpoint, right? And from like you said, Wimby living outside, and not only that, bro, they gave Wimby multiple passes on that last technical to get suspended, bro. Wimby had it's like they was making sure that he would not get that last technical, it didn't really matter for this last game, but he should already been suspended for this game. They want to make sure, so they was getting hella passes, bro. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 12:24

Wimby's finding out what Shaq realized early in his years of playing hoops. When you that big, your ass is gonna catch some body shots, you gonna get hit in the elbow, you gonna get hit in the rib cage. He don't understand it's gonna get physical. Yeah, you gotta power through that. You can't be that big and you running from physicality, bro. I'm only 5'11. You feel me? And when I'm hoop, nigga, I'll go to the paint. I know I'm gonna probably catch a couple of smacks to the head, a couple to the back, one to the chest. That comes with playing basketball, bro. It's a physical game that comes with playing basketball. How are you seven plus and you running from physicality, bro? When damn near 90% of the league is smaller than you. Come on, bro.

SPEAKER_00 13:12

And I ain't gonna lie to you, you know. I don't know if your hoop game really all that for you to be quoting it on on the cookout, bro. Because I don't really know if you really got no bars like that. I'm just saying, bro. I just don't know. I'm just saying, I just don't know about your game. Like I'm just saying, bro. Like, you know what I'm saying? I don't know if your shit uh your if you especially going to the paint. I don't know, bro. I'm just saying, I just don't know about that. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 13:37

You better ask my brother, he'll tell you he can tell you better than I can.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

He can tell you better than I can, and and and and and another thing with that game that that like I ain't gonna say it through me, but the youth Dylan Harper is raw, but it like that last play we missed the layup. Something like remember the one when he got the tip in. It was something I was gonna post, I was gonna tag you in the earlier, but I neglected to post it. When they showed them before they had that in bail, they was confused on D. Now you can blame that on culture too because remember the coach is like a young nigga, too. You feel me? I'm saying, but it I tip my hat to them because they got to the finals. Of course, this is gonna make them better for the finals. They ran through some teams and somebody had to lose, somebody had to win. I I'm glad the Knicks won just for the like the culture of basketball, right? Um, but they got a lot of youngsters over there, bro. To me, the biggest disappointment was De'Aaron Fox. De'Aaron Fox is the biggest disappointment, bro.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

Nah, that's facts, bro. You got the rookie out hooping De'Aaron Fox that's getting paid, you know what I'm saying, the supermax deal. You feel me? And that's what this and this is why, like the reason why I'm a Seahawks fan, you feel me, is for reasons like this. They don't pay people by the name on the back of the jersey. But just because you are Mouse Garrett, you feel me, a Brandon IU, you know what I'm saying? We're not gonna give you a super max just because you got a name on the back of the jersey. We go and find those hidden gems in the third round, fourth round, fifth round.

SPEAKER_00 15:07

Like the Patriots used to do, like the Patriots used to go find something manufacture something, say the salary capital, pay Tom Brady, like you said, get us there. You feel me? Yeah, you're right, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 15:18

No, that's that's real talk, and that's what you're supposed to do when it comes to building the culture and the team. Whenby, that was he was supposed to galvanize the troops and be like, hey y'all, come on, we gotta lock in. We got this. It's like Kobe said, Hey, we lost against the Pistons because I didn't have the squad ready, I didn't have the boys locked in. I take that on my shoulder. That's on me as a leader. So let me ask you this.

SPEAKER_00 15:42

Let me ask you this. Do you feel like the Knicks won it or San Antonio lost it?

SPEAKER_01 15:49

I feel like San Antonio lost it because let's be honest, we would be looking at game six, game seven if they would have won yesterday in the game before that. They was up by 20 points in both of those games. How are we losing in the finals when the game slows down and we up by 20? That's because y'all want to keep running and gunning, chucking threes. Bro, calm down. Let's eat this.

SPEAKER_00 16:18

That's on the coach, and that's on the coach, the coach for you. That's on the coach, and but I but I will give, I agree with you, but I will give the Knicks props because they did go on a hell of a run. They went on a run, bro, like through the playoffs, they swept a couple of teams, just got the gentleman's sweep, like, bro. Like, I mean, the Knicks they showed up, bro. And and it and it does we do know that it's harder to hold on to a big league than it is to chip away and come back. And we seen that I mean, even in football, we can talk about Tom Brady. We seen some people come back. Sometimes you panic and and shit happens, and but you but it does have to go your way. You feel me? I'm saying. So I I agree with you that the Spurs should at least add it to one more game because that 29-point game should have been a Spurs game, even if they lost this one, we should have got one more game. You feel me, I'm saying it shouldn't have been a gentleman's sweep. But shout out to the Knicks, I will give y'all props. I I hate that y'all out there whooping motherfuckers and burning down your own shit. But I guess that's just a culture of winning. It seemed like a lot of post-sports teams, even in hockey and shit like that, when they win, everybody just tears their city. I guess that's like a part of it, but um, I think some San Antonio fans got their revenge too, uh whooping some ass out there. I'm not sure. I think I seen a couple of clips, but uh I don't know, man. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 17:35

Uh no, and that whole that whole like burning stuff up because y'all win it, like, bro. You can you gotta win with dick, you gotta win with dignity, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, we want we ain't gotta be out here burning stuff up and acting, you know what I'm saying, beating people up. Like, come on, bro. Ain't neither one of these teams paying our bills ain't looking out for us, ain't nothing in their bank account from.

SPEAKER_00 18:00

We can't even get an autograph from them down there, and it's your own shit, and it's your and it's your own shit. It's probably somewhere you're gonna go shopping at tomorrow. You feel me? So it really don't make no sense, right? But I do want to segue to someone I know you know. It's a little, it's a little uh heartbreaking a little bit, but I know you know him because you are a Seahawk. Uh Alder Smith. Rest in peace to Alder Smith, man. And I I'm and I and I and I know you know him because it's a few times uh and then some of them rival games. Alder Smith they got some game winning sacks and and all kinds of shit, man. So I don't really know all the details. You could uh uh enlighten me if you know any. We do know that he was uh suffering from alcoholism and depression and some type of mental stuff. That's kind of why he left the game early. Was definitely a bright. Uh, we should have put up some of his clips. I mean, was an animal as like a as a youngster, uh, kind of like playing like outside the confines of plays. Remember, they just used to throw him in. He wasn't even really super a part of the uh the the the the offense, you know. I'm saying shit like that, right? And it's like I mean the defense, I mean, but Al Smith man, a real game record, a real game record, man. Shout out to Al Smith, rest in peace, man. Uh, bless to his family. And uh, I'd like to know what you like to say about it, especially because I know you didn't face him two times a year, sometimes three of y'all been in the playoffs uh for the first couple years of his career.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

Oh man, he was a problem, bro. He he was a problem, he was a straight issue, you know what I'm saying? Like he was cold out there, you had to deal with that, you know what I'm saying? Like, you have to be looking to see where he's coming from because you know, bro, you come across that middle, it's gonna be a problem. You feel me? So, hey, I ain't got number, you know what I'm saying? I ain't got number good things to say about him, you feel me? And you know, I hate that somebody has to pass away for us to show them love or commemorate their name or acknowledge the things that they did, they alkalate, you know what I'm saying? Like, I hate that, you feel me? Like, just like now, you know what I'm saying, how everybody be pissing on Kobe. You feel me? Now that Kobe passed away, everybody got Kobe's name in their mouth. When he was here, what nobody speaking on that man because he's gonna check you about whatever you had to say about him. Well, you think it's this, now let me let you know what it really is. You know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. It's like it's like you know what I'm saying, people race, you know what I'm saying? Speak on the good things, the things that they accomplished in life, you feel me, and just keep it moving. You got something negative to say about somebody that ain't here, like, come on, bro, they can't even speak for themselves.

SPEAKER_00 20:28

Right, right. And and and and I know we ain't gonna spend a lot a lot of time on him, but I did one because we was talking about sports, and I feel like he deserved that. Uh, hell of a guy. And I I remember, um, you know, I'll be sometimes, you know, we've been doing so many shows, but we sometimes get confused by what we said on one show. I can't remember if we was on a cookout, I was emotional, I was by myself, right? But I was just saying this, uh, and and this is uh speculating from his history that it could have some tie to his mental health. I always say this, check on your folks. I always say this, check on your folks, man. Sometimes it could just be a text. You see, a lot of times I tell me what you brought, bro. You good? You all right, man? You say hello, you feel me? And I know as men sometimes it might not be good, and it's difficult for us to go, nah, hell no, it ain't good, bro. You know what I'm saying? Because sometimes it's hard, and it shouldn't be hard, but it's hard for us to share those spaces sometimes because sometimes uh uh a man to man, we might joke about something that ain't you know, it ain't really funny, or or sometimes just you just want to just nigga, I'm good, but you ain't good. But check on your folks, man. Sometimes even asking is enough that, like, you know, feel like they care. And I'm not saying every man walk around suicidal, but I am saying that sometimes, man, a lot of times as men, we carry so much burden on ourselves. Sometimes it's due to our own fault, sometimes not, sometimes it's just the way the earth is, especially when you're black, right? And if you can't, if you ain't done it in a while, your brother, whether it's your real brother or not, tap and if you're a woman, go get your man. Hug and give your brother a hug. Sometimes action, man, hey, you good? So that's it. Might go a long way. Check on your brothers, man.

SPEAKER_01 22:07

That's facts right there. You feel me? You clicking right there. That's big facts. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, I'm gonna let you quarterback it, man. You feel me, though? Well, uh, what's the next man?

SPEAKER_00 22:18

You feel me? She said, Are y'all good today? We we good lips. We good shout out to Ohio, man. Shout out to Ohio. She out there in Ohio, man. You feel me? I'm saying I I a lot of my uh speaking up. We're talking about first generation global, some of the first generation global. Uh, when I was like doing a 19, a lot of a lot of i it was a Ohio, uh, it's a lot of talent out there, a lot of talent, you know. Especially in female rap, yeah, I'm saying artists and stuff out there. Shout out to Ohio, man. A lot of stuff goes out. She in Mississippi now, a lot of stuff goes on out there, man. Don't sleep on on the Cleveland area, don't sleep on Ohio, and don't sleep all crazy. The motherfuckers go out there, man. Be some real shit, real violence going on there. Be you know, be careful. Don't don't don't sleep, man. Everybody city goes crazy, man. Right. But I want to segue into this, man. Something that's been killing me, and I want to ask you this how much does gas cost out there?

SPEAKER_02 23:09

Man, like what seven?

SPEAKER_00 23:12

Seven, whoa, listen. Hey, we was on line, we was on God, we got motion today in Canada. They said it's two dollars and something, yeah, two dollars or shit at like I gotta get the middle gas to 91 or at like six six fifty, six thirty, something like that. If you don't go to Safeway at Costco, you're gonna get raped at Chevron or anything else. You feel me? Gas price, man, and the cost of living, right? So, gas price, the cost of living, and I know we in two different regions, gas price and the cost of living. I want to know your take on do we feel like Trump is responsible for all of that? And do we think that even if he got a peace rope and it when we get the next president, are things gonna get better, or it's just this the status quo right now?

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Man, let's keep it 100. That's just a figurehead. You feel me? We know it's higher up behind who's the president that's really pulling the strings. You feel me? He's just a figurehead. And um, you know what I'm saying? Like, they want to push people to see how bad it gotta get before people, you know what I'm saying, become the worst versions of themselves. You feel me? How high, you know what I'm saying? Rent gotta be, how high gas gotta be, how hot food and stuff, you feel me, before people just snap out and be like, Man, I ain't had enough of this, you feel me, or just everybody losing with a crib, everybody losing their gig. Because let's be honest, once AI kick in, we already know what's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

Right, right, right. And my world, bro, I ain't never tripped off gas this much in my life. Like, even when I was a youngster, and you wanted to make sure you got two, two, two, two to five dollars on the tank, but you got some on the tank. Even when I was a youngster trying to get some on the tank, because I was broke with a whip. You feel me? I'm saying gas prices now, bro, so outrageous, bro. I I don't know what y'all got out there, like y'all, like uh transit system. I find myself driving halfway, getting on the bark to get to the place I gotta go to. You know what I'm saying? When I go to the schoolhouse or something like that, I get on that B Zart, get my little car, slide on there, save some gas, bro. Cause like, and I got a truck, so I'm really raping myself, and I can't get the regular gas. The regular gas went out too fast. You feel me? But I'm I'm 125 filling it up. Today I was at half a tank, went just to I try to keep it filled just case the zombie apocalypse pop off. I want to make sure I'm at a few four few slides, right? I gotta be able to get to the midwest. So that's probably you know what I'm saying. I gotta be Robbie. See if my tank nigga loaded, I'll be like, hold on, nigga. This might be the day it pop off, right? Nigga 75 to fill up from half a tank to the top, bro. So it's like I don't know, bro. And I do blame Trump. I I get what you're saying, and and you know, that's my term. I you I love saying the figurehead, because we know every president ain't in true total control, they either have influence on markets and shit like that, or they told what to do. But I feel like I feel like Trump, his presidency, bruh, is based on so much bullshit that when he does influence in it, right? His influence is really what he's on. You feel me? I'm saying, of course, it is some puppeteering going on all around because we know Congress and the Senate, all the fake shit that goes around it. But for sure, with the war in Iran, for sure, with uh the other day they asked him a question about hey, what happened to the uh stimulus for the tariffs? Maybe he's supposed to give us a terror stimulus. You feel me? You know what I'm saying? Right, and then you know what that nigga said, he said, I don't remember saying that. I don't know if he was just shitting us, bruh. You feel me? Because he's been falling asleep in venues and shit lately, right? I don't know if he really forgot. Was he just, or is he saying, fuck y'all? You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 26:49

Bro, that's what that's what all politicians do. Let's just keep it 100. What politician told you, hey, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, and then when they got in office, they didn't do it. That's every politician, ain't nobody ever been like, all right, I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, and then get in office and actually do it. You feel me? Hell no, that's bro, they the best pimp for the game, bro.

SPEAKER_00 27:15

They're gonna sell you a hundred dreams, they're gonna sell you all the dreams. Now, look, they might throw you some money in the midterm or something like that for the midterms and and and and lips. I'm gonna tell you this by the count of zombies. I don't know about where y'all from out there in Mississippi, Ohio, whatever, right? But the zombies out here is the fentanyl niggas, the fentanyl people on earth, the people on fentanyl with their forehead touching the motherfucking float that could just sit there bent over all night, sleep just like that against the wall. I I feel like one day when they activate, that's it's gonna start with them. It's gonna start with them, bro. Anybody ever seen World War Z? I feel like that's how they're gonna be too much noise, they're gonna wake up, they're gonna be faster than this, and anybody ain't got no wheels or not to get the fuck up out of here. It's over with, it's coming, bro. So I'm telling you, bro. I I be believing it because you know, everything bro in this world from COVID to whatever, bro, be man-made. It's either some mistake or some accidentally on purpose or something like that, bro. And that fent all shit, and they got some new shit out here in the bay. I can't remember the name of, but it's some other new drug, synthetic drug that's supposed to be five, ten times stronger than fentanyl. How do you want to be stronger than something that, bro, that you can't hide that you're using that can literally make you bend over sideways, backwards, whatever, bro? Like you ain't got no spine and just live. Bro, this is crazy, bro. This is crazy, bro. So end of the day, though, I just feel like politics is usual. Uh Trump, bro, this nigga be having me so hot, bro. I just it just him falling asleep at venues and shit like that. Got the nerve to talk about sleepy Joe Biden. I don't know where we at with the world, bro. So we're gonna segue that into the work life balance, man. You feel me? Work life balance, and I don't know for those that don't understand what that is, bro. Like right now, no matter what your job is, right now, our job every day is to bring you the news, right? Our job is in this media world, is to research, study, uh, and bring it right here to live, or if we're doing recordings or whatever, have our facts straight, you know what I'm saying? Uh be able to speak on whatever topic. I was watching Cam Newton uh yesterday talking to uh saucy Santana, right? You know what I'm saying? Like, and I was thinking I was looking at the interview, right? I you see what I posted? What he said, you see what I posted. What he said, what he said to Cam, now I don't think you gay, but you is weird. Like you see, listen, right?

unknown 29:37

Listen, right?

SPEAKER_00 29:38

Listen, right? And the reason why I mention that is because as a journalist, and call myself a journalist. I Cam, I mean you gotta do the interview. I guess because it's Pride Month seemed like Pride Month is five, six times a year now. I don't know how they got so many months. Black history only lasts 28 days, they be celebrated about 14. Juneteenth is one day it's supposed to be the whole week, you know what I'm saying, right? Bro, I was looking, I was like, you know what, man, it's just like when uh my boy uh uh interviewed Takashi. You feel me? I'm saying you had to do it, you know what I'm saying? You had to do it, right? And I and the reason why I say that is because the work life bounce. So we go to work every day on this media on these media platforms, sometimes for money, sometimes for no money, in the hopes of future monies. You feel me? In order to uh uh hopefully go viral, score the uh the the the the a future dope interview, monetize your YouTube and your TikTok and all that shit, so we get paid every motherfucking week, every month, or whatever, however the payouts come, right? That's we're hoping for, right? But I do want to talk about the work-life balance because I talk about this a lot. Um, to my spouse, I talk about it a lot, bro. Like, I'm so much entrenched in this work shit so much, bro, sometimes that uh it's not that I neglect my family and none of that, it's not that I neglect my daughter or none of that shit like that, right? But I be I understand that I gotta be in it in order for me to get where I'm gonna go. And we was watching uh the 30 for 30 with Dennis Rodman. I don't know if you watched that. If you didn't watch that, 30 for Dennis Rodman, how he really didn't fuck with his kids like that. It looked like it was just for basketball, but it was deeper than that. You feel me? So I want to know your take on what you feel about the work-life balance. Like I'm saying, how do you how do you either how would you balance it? How do you feel how important it is and you know, shit like that?

SPEAKER_01 31:21

I mean, to keep it real, it just depends on one, what your work life is, because certain work life, uh, family life ain't gonna help your work life. And being an athlete is one of them. You out of town all the time, you moving around all the time, you feel me? And even when you off, you gotta get ready and get your body in condition, you feel me, for the upcoming season. So even when you on off season, you technically not off because I still gotta do stuff just to get right for the next season coming up, you know what I mean? Even down to you know what I'm saying, like being a rapper, you feel me? If you a popping rapper and you got a 30 city tour, you feel me, you on the road 11 months out the year, you know what I'm saying? Like having an actual relationship or trying to have a relationship is gonna interfere with you trying to move around, conduct business, handle this, handle that, because we know what comes with the ignorance now. If you got a female that's not insecure, not jealous, none of that, then hey, do what you do. You can handle your business, you ain't got a trip. But you know what I'm saying? If you got an insecure jealous type, that's gonna interfere with the moves you trying to make on some business. Well, I'm not even in the streets. I'm trying to get this female to sing this hook on this track. You think I'm trying to get her on the song, you know what I'm saying? Things like that. Because I mean, when I was doing music, I've been to shit like that with my baby mom. You know what I'm saying? I gotta go to the studio, I gotta go and do this song, I gotta go perform at the club, shit like that. You know what I'm saying? Like it was just an argument to where it made doing music, it didn't even make doing music fun no more. Like, I ain't even like doing music no more. Because I know as soon as I say X, Y, and Z, here come an argument behind it. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 33:13

So Right. And and as and it's two men with with with daughter, with it, I got one daughter, but you got daughters. Like, I I I feel what you're saying, and I definitely can empathize and sympathize with that. Uh, but and I and I say this the reason why I was watching the Dennis Robin thing, it it I ain't gonna say it fucked, it touched me because I also read a book by Steve Jobs. Uh what's uh about Steve Jobs uh by Walter Isaac's about uh about his life, how you know Steve Jobs that's the iPhone, anything Apple, he's the he's the man, right? Him and uh Steve Wozniak, shout out, rest in peace, Steve Jobs, right? Uh he was a horrible dad, though, and he was a horrible dad because of the neglect. So sometimes, you know, like as a superior athlete, a super talented guy, as uh somebody like Steve Jobs, sometimes you could be so immersed in your genius that it can make you an accidental deadbeat. You feel me? Like you you you love your kids, you love your family, and you might do shit like make a song about like we're talking about like let's say like the art. You make a song, you you shout about and to you, you feel like nigga, that shit means something you know what I'm saying too, and then but that might not be enough for them to sustain, and and and I'm saying they're not wrong. You feel me? I'm saying so. Yeah, the part you're talking about, the trip and all that, yeah. That that that that is what it is. Sometimes we're guilty of not involving them enough in that realm, too. You feel me? Like, like we can have an argument about like what you said, and that'll make me like I'm good, I just ain't gonna even, I'm just gonna do what the fuck I got. You feel me? Where we can try to invite them to that environment so that way if we doing it together, what do you got to you feel me? You know what I'm saying? But but sometimes we might feel like it should, you know. I mean, like that's what I mean about it's kind of like you kind of damned if you do, damn if you don't, right? And as I got a three-year-old about to be falled, shout out to Giovanna, she be falling July 1st. You feel me? And I'll be caught up in like you know, I'm saying, like I everything I'm doing, even if I kind of neglect you some, like not on purpose, but I know the bigger picture is so grand that I gotta put in all these hours. You feel me? You know what I'm saying? I gotta like you know what I'm saying, because nobody really understands the admin of this shit. Nobody understands how it is to go get a motherfucking a guest and and and write a menu and and be on topic, and then you know, we live, so we might be making it look like uh this shit is rehearsed and orchestrated, but this shit we just had a guest that was supposed to be on flank on us, so we gotta scramble literally in real time to still show up for the show that me and you built. You feel me? Not only the energy about that, but once we go off camera, you know we both like nigga, this bitch ass thing. Like you feel me? I'm saying that's a whole nother energy, and you could take that home with you. So it's just like somebody having a nine to five. You go work a 40-hour work, we get your job, you hate your boss, you ate your job, you had everything. You come home, you flashing on your family. You know what I'm saying? What was that comment that lips said? I dealt with that in my last relationship, and I couldn't pop my ish like I wanted because he was jealous of the attention. He also did music too. That's the crazy part. See, yeah, lips. Matter of fact, lips, we need to schedule, we need to book her to come on the show and see. She she she in this was some of the shit from a female's perspective. I never thought about that really because she's an artist.

SPEAKER_01 36:29

No, yeah, I mean, all of that, all of that stuff go both ways. It ain't no different than a female being a stripper, but wanting to have a boyfriend. How many boyfriends is really gonna be secure enough that they sell to be able to have a girlfriend that's really a stripper, especially if she's a popping stripper? Not saying that she's doing some extra stuff on the low for some money, no, she's at work, just at work handling her business, you know what I'm saying, getting her chips, but she knows she's popping, so yeah, she getting 1500 a show, he getting 2500 a show to go out of town. But how many dudes go be secured that she ain't out here sliding off with the dude that's throwing that's throwing the 100k at the venue, you know what I'm saying? Whatever rapper it is this week, whatever athlete it is this week, whatever movie actress it is, you know what I'm saying, so on and so forth. You feel me? Dudes ain't gonna be able to be secure with that, you know what I mean? If you can then handle your business, but we see offset tripping off of Cardi B.

SPEAKER_00 37:29

We know what Cardi B right and she's a legend. I I'd have just been right there with her, like baby. Let's go. Like, you feel me, I'm saying, but but I'm a congratulatory dude. I know if I got with a stripper or I got with an artist, I pretty much know what I'm getting into. You know what I'm saying? But lips, how that your manager, how at your manager, lips. Uh, we could try to schedule. I don't know if we got somebody that's coming up week or whatever, but we can schedule to get on and we could talk about topics such as these, plus this help expand, you know, your reach too, because we region to region to region. My boy out there in KC, I'm in the bay, and uh um you out there in Mississippi, that'd be a nice connect. So how about that? But that is, I feel like I feel like you're right. Uh, I feel like both of y'all right, in the sense of uh it's difficult sometimes to navigate the realm, especially when you got those two different kinds of personality types, too. Because I might be an extrovert, she an introvert. You feel me? Well, when we together, it's love, but when I'm going to do my thing, I'm like, damn, you don't want to come fuck me on this. And then when I when you know I'm saying when I when I'm going to do my thing, she like nigga, why are you doing that? So it's like you feel me. So I feel that, and then from a woman's perspective, uh to me, I never like it's boosty to me when a man competes with a woman. It is boosy to me. If you compete with a woman, I mean, men sometimes we compete with each other because it's testosterone, because we got nothing, it happens, right? You know what I'm saying? But it's always lame to me if a man competing with his woman, you're supposed to big up her, applaud her, help her do what she got to do, and push her on the way. You feel me? Yeah, I'm saying that's how I feel about that. But uh, we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna oh shit. Yeah, we're gonna slide to the dessert. You feel me? You know what I'm saying? I'm loving where we at with our leader. We saved ourselves. Uh, so I want to ask you, and I'm glad that you sent me that bullshit you sent me earlier, right? You know what I'm saying? Right, what's was that uh no, no, that was that way that the nigga. I want to know what you feel about two things. The nigga was playing. How do you feel about that French Montana and uh uh what's the nigga's name? What's the nigga name? The album they dropped, French Montana and uh the Wavy Max Bas B right because the nigga sent me some shit. Uh you know what I'm saying? Because the question is, what type through what you got in your playlist right now? What type three things are you playing your playlist? But somebody sent me the Max B shit and the French Montana. I'm not sure if I was a super French Montana dude anyway. Max B. I mean, I don't know, but I want to know what you feel about that album.

SPEAKER_01 39:54

Man, I just feel like you know that that ship has sailed. You feel me? Like, it's man, a lot of artists now are just dropping a lot of mid because nobody's staying true to themselves. Everybody just wanna drunk jump on everybody else's train, everybody wants to sound like this person, everybody wants the same producer, everybody wants the same type of beat. All the way down to people shooting videos, everybody's videos look the same. You know what I'm saying? Like, I remember Brenda got a baby. If y'all don't remember, most majority of that was in black and white. Right, you feel me? The only parts that was in color when they were showing Brenda and the thing she was going through and dealing with. So that was just something that simple made that video that more dynamic when watching it back over that song, you know what I'm saying? Almost like Tupac ain't here and he he rapping it, you know what I'm saying, while looking down on her type stuff. And she the one that's going through, you know what I'm saying? It hit different, just the visuals, just something that simple. But man, I'm I'm cool on the Max being French, right? I'm I'm uh bro.

SPEAKER_00 41:07

I listen to the track. I just and I'll and and you know, and you know me enough to know that I'm dealing in music, I don't discriminate. I'm a dude that will give most anything. Shout out to my uh uh to Deliance and uh uh Bread 209. They've been playing with auto-tune country. I slap some of that shit in the car. Like, okay, I can see where this is going. Like that is it's unique, right? So I'm a dude that could be eclectic. I can listen to some shit and kind of okay, bet. I I could see if I got a critique on it, so I'm not just taking in music and just discarding it. Uh matter of fact, lips, lips Terry, right now in the comments. She has a different eclectic kind of it's not rap, it's not singing, it's a different sound, it's like her uniquely her own, right? So I could sit back and listen to some shit and not just automatically think it's garbage. I just don't, I don't get it, bro. And it's this new dude. Um, I think I sent it to you this morning. Remember, I said it's the new wave of music, bro. I don't like it. I'm personally, I just don't like it. Like, I'm not saying I hate it, I just, but that's it's like throwback androgynous. You feel me, I'm saying, right? I just I don't know, bro. I just I don't like it, bro. And it's like like you said, right now, everything is so oh, see, you can look it now. I everything is so oversaturated right now that we don't even really know. We need people because we kind of we ain't throwbackers, we listen to new shit too, like the Drake album. I I like the the rap album, the other ones they cool. I mean, I feel I know what he was doing. Uh he on the charts and all that shit. I feel it, I get it. You feel me? I'm saying, but I just don't know we have with the state of music right now. I'm not mad at it. Shout out to all my thugs, shout out to all my niggas because we rocking right now, numbers rocking, check, you know. I'm saying artists working, minus Peter Evelyn, you know what I'm saying? Uh uh uh uh uh everybody on deck, motherfuckers pushing the movement, pushing the mob, doing shows, doing videos, rocking the gram. Shout out to all the fans that's rocking, love that shit, right? But other than that, bro, I really don't know who we are, like you know what I'm saying. So that was the question of what's in your deck right now. Is you as you is you rocking the shit that you normally rock, or or do you got a couple of new artists up in here?

SPEAKER_01 43:25

Man, I'm listening up. Um I play with the all over. Like, I'm listening to dirty boys, they from Alabama, you feel me? I'm listening to trap, I'm listening to trap boy Dickie, you know what I'm saying? They from the south, you feel me? Of course, I'm listening to you know some BX to plug, you feel me? Like, still some dirt, you feel me? Still dirt and voting I'm listening to. Like, that's gonna always be in there. Nip gonna always be through that cycle, you feel me?

SPEAKER_00 43:57

So you like you like really kind of just fucking with your genre. You with like you feel me?

SPEAKER_01 44:02

Like no, like I got shit. I got country, I got rock and roll, I got queen of the damn soundtrack in my phone. Yeah, I got sound guard in my phone, I got Caesar on my phone. I got Little Ryan in my phone, Shania Twain.

SPEAKER_00 44:17

I used to fuck with Lincoln Park Hybrid Theory. Yeah, I used to fuck with Link Park Hybrid theory. That's like my favorite rock album. Yeah, shout out to everybody working hard. I see you. Uh we love that. And my deck, bro, other than the mob, other than global products or affiliates there uh uh thereof. I I was fucking with the new Drake album. Uh almost all like one umbrella, one umbrella. I fuck with them. That's uh Lil' Yee. Uh two of my niggas from the Dove 22 uh uh 22nd gym. They got a group out of out of Frisco to Oakland, uh out here in the bay. Mostly any of the young niggas, it's just that I get tired of uh op rap. I don't always want to hear you talking about the homies uh or the niggas and killing, not saying I'm averse to gangster music, I just don't always want to hear that shit. And uh speaking of that's uh uh uh in Stockton right now, Fab throwing the show in Stockton, and uh Haiti Baby just went on live talking about I get what Fab went on live talking about that they said they couldn't he couldn't invite no more Stockton artists to the venue because of the gang culture, and if he did, he had to pay money for extra security. So shit like that. It's a lot of talent in Stockton, it's a lot of talent out there, but everybody beefing, so you can't really just throw a venue. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 45:32

No, it's like that, it's almost like that just with hood artists in general, you know what I mean? Like most people that's popping, they can't do shows in their own local areas, right? That's why a lot of people is already in a box when it comes to doing music because you can hear them anywhere. But in this day and age, bro, you gotta be seen. It ain't just about being heard no more. Like back when we were pushing CDs out the back of the trunk, hey, burn me that mix tape and all of that. Yeah, you could just get heard and get some odds on you just because you know what I'm saying, of your voice, your cadence, the way you sit, you being different. You can get some odds on you that way. Now you got to be able to do shows, whether it's a Holman Wall Club down the street or going two states over and going to Arizona and knocking out a club real quick in Phoenix, you know what I'm saying? But brothers can't even move around because they on probation, they got warrants, you feel me? You driving ain't got no license, tags bag, just a whole bunch of hood elements. So even if you got the hottest music, you could be the next Drake, you could be the next Kendrick. If you can't move around and be seen in that spotlight to be the next Drake or the next Kendrick, then you you already two steps behind while you're trying to take two steps forward at the same time, right?

SPEAKER_00 46:59

And like, and like you say, because me and you don't necessarily cater to mainstream rap. If it's dope, it's dope. But like I love when I'm on Spotify 7, somehow I don't know who the fuck it is. Come on, I'm like, okay, who's this? But it came on seamless that the production is good, the quality is good, and all that shit, right? So it's like I don't necessarily just I'm not a homer for just my city either, and I'm not necessarily looking for the niggas that's already millionaires because sometimes the thirst, like niggas that's just trying to get it, that be the thirst that the shit I want to hear because you could tell you can hear the hunger. You feel me? I'm saying, and everywhere we from, bro, like not only that, bro, when you beefing like that, like think about even in your city, bro, your region. Think about two artists that's dope as fuck, but because one probably did a feature with the enemigo or something, they can't come together on a feature, and you can hear them in your head, like oh, imagine if them two niggas came together. You feel me? Like I'm saying, like like a dirt and NBA track, if them like at the height of that shit, like right.

SPEAKER_01 47:55

You know, like just imagine like that was just like when it was Wavey and Boosie, right?

SPEAKER_00 48:00

You feel me? Right, exactly. You feel me? I'm saying so. When I was uh fighting my case, I because it was niggas that they would be so enamored with like an NBA or something like that, they don't even know this nigga. You feel me? But they wouldn't do a track with Dirk because they NBA fans. I'm like, nigga, you don't know neither one of them you mean to tell me if Dirk came to get at you about a track because you an NBA disciple. You think in your head, you're not gonna fuck with in hopes of the I said nigga, you don't even sound that ain't even business, right? You feel me? I'm saying what she said said, we're working on my visuals right now, and they just got behind my music to ensure I'm paid. I'm also working on starting my own venue show. So stay tuned for real. Shout out to all keep it right when you come on the show, talk about all that. You feel me? Shout out, you already know. Lip's Terry, man. Tap in, follow her, man. Lives gang, man. So already know, but it's good though. But end of the day, right? You already know, bruh. Uh to me, another successful show. You know what I'm saying? We're gonna fail with it.

SPEAKER_01 48:54

Hold on, before before we jump out the building. Man, let me ask you about uh, you know what I'm saying? We didn't get to talk about this. Shout out to the broke show because it's something he wanted to talk about. We didn't even get to tap on it when we had showed on. You feel me? Like, we could have went a whole nother hour on that show. We that hey, we wasn't chopping it up. The man, the mat and cover, you feel me? How do you feel about Caleb Willow?

SPEAKER_00 49:18

We did not get to talk about that. Well, I'm gonna tell you something that's funny, Rick. I'm gonna tell you something that's funny. I just said this when we were watching the Robin shit. I'm looking at Robin with the paint and nails. I'm like, damn, sometimes I'll be forgetting when I be roasting this generation because they are the gayest generation. I'm still not gonna take that away, right? And I know we've talked about Prince with the androgynous movement, you know, shit like that, right? Old school punk rockers, you know, the 80s, you know what I'm saying, right? You know, the era, and I was looking at Robin, I'm like, damn, he but he was singular in the sense of nobody had done the shit Robin was on wearing a dress, the wedding dress, and all that shit, right? But I will say this man is my all-time favorite coach, right? Man is the dude who made me a game analyst. When man would on Monday night football, Sunday night football, when man would talk about the game when we watching it and break down the plays and who did what and all that shit, bro. When he would when he would do that, bro, it made me understand what a block was, uh saying the counter left, like it made during the game. I do that now, right? And I just think that the way man was, I just don't think he would have signed off on that. I just don't think he would have signed off on that, bro. And and and I mean, we see what's the boy in Oklahoma that be OKC be paint. It's like, bro, like this is definitely the gas generation. Anybody that take that personal, I'm probably talking to you. This the gas generation, bro. Like, I don't get it. I don't the freedom of expression shit, it don't make no sense to me. Motherfuckers come with their own nail, uh uh paint line, all the shit is boosy. I don't know what the fuck it has to do with the game. I I I I wish they would have edited out. I don't know if that was for the pride month, bro. I was just uh putting a song on a distro last night, putting a uh a song, and then even under my distro, but the distro icon was rainbow. I bruh, I I just bruh, I it seemed like I'm telling you, and maybe I if I'm a homophobe, I apologize. I'm not, but I just I just feel like I don't want it to be forced on me. I I feel like I should be able to express, shout out to Boosie. I should be able to express myself and not have no backlash from it. I just don't get that. It seems if it's as if there's a Pride Month every third month, every quarter, or something like that. There's no way it's coming back that fast. I do not remember Christmas and Valentine's Day and July 4th coming around this fast, bro. It just seems like it's always a celebration, a celebration. And I we bicking back, we say, I don't know what the fuck is going on, bro. So that's where I just feel like it's forced on it. I feel like it's forced on the youth. I I just don't get it, bro. And it to me, it just don't make no sense. Shout out to Sean uh to John Man, rest in peace, man. I know he's rolling over in his grave right now, man. Clip that I said it.

SPEAKER_01 52:12

No, man, that's that's real talk, bro. Like, I feel like it's all on some agenda, like it's always been. Like, when they started putting that in cartoons, like, come on, bro. Why do we have same-sex marriages in cartoons? Like, what is like for real? For real, you know what I'm saying? So now us as parents, we can't even just turn on a cartoon for the kids no more and just walk away from the creative up, you know what I'm saying? Make whatever calls you need to make. You can't even do that now because you gotta wait sure that they're not having little sexual innuendos in the cartoon when they talking and all like it's just crazy, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 52:53

That you really gotta get the cartoon, Rick. You really gotta, bro. Rick, I'd have been like kind of like playing just over again. Let my daughter like, what is you watching? You really gotta be on it, bro.

SPEAKER_01 53:04

And you feel me, it ain't like it used to be when you could just turn anything on out of the cartoon and just handle business. You feel me? And the crazy part is is it's one thing for it to be aimed at adults. We adults with our own brain, our own, you know what I'm saying, sister, you know what I'm saying? What we want to do, whatever, whatever. But kids, they ain't even they don't even know what you're talking about. They see it's this little girl with two dads, and wonder why they got two dudes on her kids, like, and that's normal. You feel me? Like, y'all trying to normalize the rainbow activities that be going on. Like, I ain't got nothing against rainbow activities. You doing a whole bunch of festivities, that is on you. If you at the festival, that is on you. I'm not mad at you, but if you're trying to aim that towards the kids, like that's where it becomes a whole nother issue because now you sexualizing, you know what I'm saying, kids everybody that management, right?

SPEAKER_00 53:59

And you can't and you can't criticize it. See, that's my thing. You can't like it's just like anything, music, anything. I turn that off. I don't want my kid listening to pussy popping. I don't want to listen to the murder. You feel me? Ain't nobody really gonna take offense to that. All right, but cut that shit off. If you say somebody we're talking about right now, it'd be a whole thing. Oh, you hating this, this, this, that. It's the same thing like with the Jews, you can't say nothing about a Jew, nothing about a homosexual without either getting canceled or getting ridiculed. Why I can't say I don't want that for me. Why I can't say I don't want that for my channel.

SPEAKER_01 54:28

Why do we have transgender bathrooms in school? What is we talking about? You know, so now somebody who was born a boy to walk into the girl's bathroom, and your daughter is supposed to just be cool with this dude walking in here with uh full gold tea. But since you feel me, he's in transition and he identifies as this. Oh, it's okay for this boy to be in a girl's bathroom. Like, right, what is what is we talking about, bro?

SPEAKER_00 54:57

And that's a good question. Look, why look at that comment? Why epistrace don't get a day? That's real though, like I'm saying. I guess because they're like, y'all get it every day, like you feel me. I'm saying, but it's like, but we don't get a day where it's like, look, man, hey, shout out for being straight, they'll take offense to that. You feel me? I'm saying it's like right, right. But it's almost the same thing, like when we celebrate our blackness, it's almost like Juneteenth now. Juneteenth is everybody's shit now. I I don't want it to be national, I want it to stay grassroots like I is where you could go find a picnic in your local city, a local state, right? Now it's commercials, white people with die shikis and shit on. We but look, but give it three years. The meaning of the Juneteenth is gonna be lost. Ain't nobody gonna remember what it's for. You feel me? I'm saying none of that, bro. That's why we gotta lie.

SPEAKER_01 55:46

This was crazy with the whole matin cover shit. Is we know it's an agenda. How do we know that? Because one, this man is a quarterback, he got so many different throws, runs, so on and so forth, so many other poses and pictures they could have picked from. They chose for him to pose like this, like he laying in a casket. Like he laying in the casket with his head down, showing off his nails on purpose. You feel me? Like he's a female on the cover of a fucking cover girl magazine. They did that on purpose, and this how you know it's even more an agenda. Who won the Super Bowl last year? Let me remind you. Let me remind you why is my team not on the cover of Madden. Why is Sam Darnold not on the cover of Madden? Right, why is anybody from our team on the cover of Madden and we won the Super Bowl?

SPEAKER_00 56:47

Well, it's not always the Super Bowl winners, but it should be the motherfuckers that was like at least there because like when McCaffrey and them got it. Well, look, I ain't gonna lie. Let me say something real quick. You lucky Darnold ain't on there because you know Caleb Williams about to get hurt. You know, the man curse be real. Everybody show up on that motherfucker that they're that coming up season, they get wiped. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 57:12

I'm saying, but you are right in a sense of I mean, come on, Rick, we know what it is, but me and you I mean, even down to I don't even fuck with the LA Lambs, but even the LA Lambs has the MVP quarterback, right?

SPEAKER_00 57:25

Savage, you're right. Yeah, so we're right. It was a whole bunch of people to choose from. It was a it was a whole bunch of different people to choose from, and and and I like Caleb Williams. I like Caleb Williams, but but it's just like I ain't gonna lie to you, but I don't even know he was playing his nails like throughout the season. I didn't I didn't even I think I found out towards the end, I didn't know because it's a few select dudes now. And remember, I was showing you the OKC shit with the Zestia's team and all that shit, bro. It's just it's it's it's zestacular right now, bro.

SPEAKER_01 57:54

It's it's fucking Zestelmania, it's Vesselmania, no pay-per-view. Zest pocalypse man, they going to school with a PhD in Zesthology.

SPEAKER_00 58:10

Man, for real, bro. Think of a new definition of one on one, but that's why it's important for alphas like us to not just push an agenda of straight, just nigga, straight masculinity, but to push an agenda of knowing thyself. You feel me? Knowing thyself and what you're supposed to be about in a sense of your manhood, your mouse masculinity, and exactly what it means to be an alpha. Alpha don't mean I'm just whooping ass because a punk could whoop your ass, but knowing how to sit within your manhood, right? That don't mean that you can't shed no tears crowd like that, but it's how you present and represent that's what it's about, right?

SPEAKER_01 58:51

Yeah, I'm saying, and let me say this, Doug, you know what I'm saying? Because I know you're gonna have an opinion on this after I say this. So all of the parents out there that are raising kids that may be or may not be gay, lesbian, transgender, whatever. When I say that's on some BS, that's because how is a kid gonna know what sexually turns them on when they haven't even been introduced to that side of life yet? Y'all will sit here and pick, and the side of your kid is gay, lesbian, or transgender. That's y'all's choice. How a kid is gonna make a choice and he don't even know what the choice is because he's never even indulged in nothing physical with a man, woman, or their other. So, how they even gonna know what they is when it comes to being sexual on that level or what they into, girl. You barely into Barbies, you don't even know what activity you're gonna be into the next week. You feel me? Now, all of a sudden, the kid that's 13, 14, supposed to make a lifelong decision, like, yeah, I'm gay, I'm transgender. Stop playing with me, bro. Kids can't even make a decision on what the fuck they want to eat tonight, right?

SPEAKER_00 59:59

Right, right. And look at D Wade, shout out to D Wade and Gabrielle. You like you see what they they they would they was on, right? And you're right. Now I will say this I don't know, I'm not a homosexual, so I just don't know if it's all about sex, but it is about mindset, how you want to present yourself and your thought process, right? As a kid, we know that even when it comes to crime, when you're a teenager, you're not even fully developed yet. Your cognitive skills aren't fully developed yet for you to even know exactly what your choices are. How many of us raised kids where they want to play the clarinet, then they want the skateboard, then they want to play this, and but all of you you will look in the closet, everything everyone wants to do is just in that shit. They ain't really following through on none of that shit, and then you you done ran through 15 activities in two, three years because they ain't even made their mind up yet, right? I that's why I believe in the throwback era of parenting, where whatever you want, I hear you, but you ain't gonna be able to make that decision until you're 18. Just like when you go over your auntie house, your cousin, you're gonna go over to your grandma's house. I don't give a what you want because I said you're gonna go. You feel me? I'm saying we need to get back to that. Like whatever you thought you was gonna be on, that's cool, bruh. But you're gonna do this because that's what we on. We were this we're on. When you turn 18, just like me and you had touch comment, uh uh talkers about this. When my daughter turns 18, for whatever she does with her life, whatever she does with her sexuality, whatever she does with sex, any of that, I could I could tell you my opinion, I could be mad about it, I can act like I'm gonna trip. But at the end of the day, you grown. What can I do? You do whatever the fuck you want to do because I know that's what I that's what I'm gonna do. I'm grown too. But when you when when I'm running your life under 18, no way. There's no way. And if you're talking about it, I want to hear you articulate what you're talking about. Because if you're talking about anything sexual, nigga, what shut up? You ain't you, I don't give a fuck if you like a man, a boy, or a girl, nigga. You ain't having no sex going on, period. You under 18. You feel me? I'm saying that's some shit you gotta sneak off and do anyway. You feel me? So at the end of the day, bro, that shit, bro, when it comes to these kids. Oh, one more thing to add to that. Single moms of the earth. When you raising these young boys, you gotta make sure that you raising them in a way that they're gonna understand what manhood is because yeah, you might be single and the dad left and all that, but you still have a responsibility from how you dressing them, what you letting them watch, and what men you bring in in their life. I don't give a fuck if it's a nigga that's that you fucking was supposed to be the uncle or somebody really is the uncle, cousin, or whatever, right? That you bringing in and he on some weird shit, right? You got to make sure that you surround them uh with with with with people that that have that in them qualities in them and send them to schools that's like you know what I'm saying, that's filled with teachers that's that's that that that's filling them with the right shit. Because a lot of times, bruh, some of the women on earth, bruh, be filling little niggas with bitch ass shit. I'm just gonna keep it a buck. Uh a woman will fill a young man with some real hoe ass tendencies and wonder why you raised a baby boy. You feel me? And wonder why this nigga grew up like that because you wasn't putting that in him. You feel me?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:09

Right. See, like me, I had to get season from my mom as far as how to deal with women, how to talk to women. You feel me? Not cat calling, hey, what's up? You think in the wrong? Let me holler. You feel me? Actually, introducing myself, stuff like that. Like a lot of my game came from my mom, you know what I mean? But at the same time, I had two uncles, but I was just sitting back and just watch how they move when it comes to their private life or with females. One uncle, man, he was a nigga, he was I heard these streets had um hella females, you feel me? Then I had another uncle that was hella fucking nerdy, hella weird, you feel me, then had no females, you know what I'm saying? So I just started, you know what I'm saying, just looking at different situations from the outside, looking in and just taking bits and pieces of what to do and what not to do, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 1:04:04

When it came to dealing with females, right? But plus, our generation was a little different, and I'm not saying one generation different other. We just said about Robin and Prince. We had some weird motherfuckers around, but we was also raised in a different generation, a different era when you was held accountable for certain things. That don't mean we all turned out good and we'd have some emotional baggage and we wasn't sometimes up. But I'm just saying that hands down, this is the guest generation. That's just a fact. No, a lot of news, bro. Like a lot of stuff accepted now. Well, it's unacceptable then.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:33

And it was crazy because man, growing up, my grandmother's next door neighbor, the whole household was team rainbow. But guess what? They didn't put that out there on the streets, they weren't out here trying to talk to no dudes walking down the street. Oh, you look like this, you look like that. Because we already know you say that to a heterosexual male, that's an instant fight. You know what I'm saying? Like back then, you was team rainbow, but you weren't waving your flag outside that you was team rainbow. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_00 1:05:08

You know what I'm saying? I gotta I had a gay uncle and gay cousin, so I I've been around it. That's what I mean by I'm not discriminating against whatever you do. I just don't want to force upon me or my brother.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:18

Right, that's and that's my whole point is that y'all could put your bedroom out here for everybody to see, but as soon as we do something like that, we a pervert, we an info, you know what I'm saying? We got issues, we doing too much. You feel me? Like, we can't be out here saying this and that, and then y'all just want to be super flamboyant and loud with it, just ignorant stuff like that, and then be mad when somebody feels a type of way, everything ain't meant for everywhere. You feel me? So we in a certain setting. No, I don't need to hear about what you and your boyfriend was doing last night. You feel me? Just stuff like that, the same way I ain't talking about how I was hitting it like this, you know what I'm saying, last night. Like, we ain't doing that, so you feel me? It's like it's cool to be what you is, but why do everybody need to know what's going on in your bedroom, though?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:10

Right, I'm tired. You already know, bro. So at the end of the day, man, I do love I love that you brought that up because we did. I ain't gonna lie, last week when we got off, I did. I was looking at the list. I'm like, damn. But we talk about a lot of shit though. We was we was cooking, you know what I'm saying? Right, so we did get to bring that up. Shout out to everybody, man.
