  Speaker 1: episode 156. Yeah, man. Hey, man. We getting up there, dog.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Getting up there. Yo, before we got on and turned
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the mics on, AJ showed us the video of the.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, homie, who bought the.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but he caught the home run ball at the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Dodgers game, and he ain't give it to the little kid.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And they panned to the little kid looking all sad,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: but the kid looked like he might have been maybe
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: two or something like that. Oh, yeah, he was young. And,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: like you pointed out, you're a Braves fan.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: It's a Dodgers home run.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: If I was in that position, I don't know if
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I can give a Mets ball to... the team we're playing,
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: a fan of the team we're playing in the playoffs
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: to get to the World Series.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I just don't know if I could do that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, that... I guess it was posted like, man,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: this guy didn't give the ball to the little kid.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But it's like, why would he give the ball to
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the little kid? This guy probably been to MAG games...
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: This is probably like a highlight moment in his life.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: That kid is literally not even going to remember that, bro.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Like, you think that kid's really going to do something
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: with the ball? You know, his parents are going to
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: do something with him. The kid's not going to remember, bro.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It don't even matter because whenever that kid turns four
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: or five, they're going to be like, remember when you
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: got the ball from me? He's going to be like, no,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I don't remember at all.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: He's going to be in seventh grade talking about, oh,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: my parents said I went viral on the internet because
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: this guy didn't give me the ball, but I don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: remember nothing about it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: No, facts. It's not even going to be a blip
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: in his story, man. Hey, shout out to that guy, man.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: He ain't succumb to the peer pressure to give it
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: to the kid, dog.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: He said, not this one, buddy.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Not this one, champ. You're going to learn about real
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: life today. Hey, but speaking about learning about real life, dog,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: something that I've learned on this podcast, and it's funny
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: because I mentioned it to you after we finished. I
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: was like, bro, anytime you mention the name Eminem, dog. Oh, man.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: The standard nights come out of the woodwork, bro, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you're cooked. And I told you, right when we finished
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: recording last week, I was like, bro, I know I
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: mentioned Eminem, bro, so you know they're going to come
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for me. And that's exactly what happened, bro.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: You think that demographic is bigger than Drake and Kendrick fans?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Man, that's a good question.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Because we have talked about them more than Eminem, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: we get some engagement, but nothing like that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: No, that is... I mean, he's the biggest selling artist
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for a reason. You know what I mean? He's the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: biggest selling rapper by far, so it definitely has to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: be something that he has cast a wider net. You
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? It's just funny, bro, because Chris
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Rock was on The Breakfast Club this week, and he
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: was not clear enough, but they just asked him about
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a comment he made about not paying for somebody that
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: went to jail, paying for lawyers and stuff. When he
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: explained it, it wasn't like it was framed. And he's like, yeah,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because the internet is not a place for nuance. And
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that was very timely, bro, because the craziest thing about
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: that clip was literally all I said was Eminem is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: like the face of a certain kind of rap.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: But I never said that's all Eminem does. I never
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: said Eminem's whack. Yeah.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I never talked about his whole entire career.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I never said that he was a lyrical miracle type rapper.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Never said that. I just said most of the time
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: when you see a clip on the internet of a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: rapper that is doing a bad impersonation of a lyrical
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: miracle rapper, because the ones I'm talking about is the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: whack ones. If you're not whack, this got nothing to
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: do with you. It doesn't fall in that category. But
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when you see a whack rapper that's trying to be lyrical,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh, this guy thinks he's Eminem. That's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what you're going to say because in your mind, Eminem
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: is the lyrical rapper.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I do that many times.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? You're not going to say, oh,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: this guy thinks he's Drake if he's doing like rapping, rapping.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? You're going to say this
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: guy thinks he's Eminem.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: That's the first artist to compare that kind of rap to.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: That's literally all that was said. Nothing about Eminem, bruh.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You would have thought I said Eminem is the worst
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: rapper of all time, the.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Way he was talking about it. They bringing up Rakim.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: They bringing up, like, all this.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yo, and then it's funny because I'm glad you mentioned
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that because I was actually going to bring it up
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and I forgot. They're mentioning rappers that never were just
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: about Lyrical Miracle. Like, you talking about Rakim where one
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of his biggest songs is him just talking about, like,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: what's going on in his mind, like in a normal
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: day in his neighborhood. Like that's not lyrical miracle. You
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? People was mentioning like Styles P,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Banks, people like that, bro. If you're listening to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: those rappers and thinking they not talking about nothing, you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: really don't know what you're talking about. Styles P was never,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Styles P has never been just, I'm just going to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: out rap you. Yes. He would say that, that he's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a rappity rappin, rapper you know i'm saying but styles
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: p's putting his real life stuff in the raps and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that's what you're listening to it for you know what
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: i'm saying you would not be listening to styles p
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the way you do he's not the face of that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't doing it in a in a poetic kind of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: way that it was hitting you different same with jada
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: kiss bro yeah jada kiss when you listen to jada.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Like one bar out of 32.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah like people be like oh um Jadakiss ain't talking
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: about nothing like, bro, then you're not listening, bro. You
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? People that would argue back in
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the day, like, yeah, I just don't like Jadakiss because
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: he's just rapping. And it's like, bro, but he's saying
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: some shit. You know what I mean? That's not the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: people we talking about. You know what I'm saying?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And I love how you gave it that clear label.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: They listed a bunch of rappers who did that, but
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: they're not the face of doing that kind of rap.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Exactly.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: It's Eminem.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's the difference between saying, yo, I think this person
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: is whack and does this, than saying, yo, this person
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: is known for this. You know what I'm saying? Same
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: thing with like, if you heard somebody trying to do
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: like that sad boy emo type rap, you would be like, oh,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: he trying to sound like Playboi Carti.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You're not saying it's whack. You're just saying he's the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: face of that sound. That's who you're going to associate
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: If a rapper's doing his singing thing, oh, he's trying
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to be Drake.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I'm not saying Drake is whack.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying people try to emulate that style.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You went on YouTube and went Drake-type beat, Playboi Carti-type beat.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And the funny thing is people just can't even catch
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the nuance of the conversation. Shout out to the ones
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that did because there was also a good amount of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: people on there that felt where we was coming from
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in the convo and added to it, agreed with things
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: we said. You know what I'm saying? It definitely was like,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: both sides of it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: They understood the context that we were talking about. Some
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: people just react off whatever they think the subject line
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: is and not the actual content.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And it's people literally, you know, catching a line or
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: two in the video, not even giving the, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: less than a minute video the time to actually listen
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to the whole thing and then go off comments in
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: these long paragraphs, like trying to like overanalyze something that's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: literally just a preference in a style of rap that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you like to listen to, bro. Like, For you to
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: take it to like this super think piece kind of degree.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And they're all assumptions too because they really- They're all assumptions.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They're all assumptions. That's the funniest part. Nobody said Eminem
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: was whack nothing. Nobody said that. Like, come on, bro.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about? But it was funny though, man.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I always enjoy seeing stuff like that because I'm the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: type of person, bro. My favorite rapper is Nas, bro. Like,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: hands down.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And they say you don't know hip hop.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: And the funny part is- People people have a lot
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to say about Nas, especially like I feel like he's
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: like one of the most like controversial goat pics. Like
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: people call him the goat. But like a lot of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: people will give you pushback on Nas. Like they'll include him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: But a lot of people don't straight up.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: They start categorizing reasons for someone should be a goat.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: They do that to Nas, but there's certain people that
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: won't do that.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Exactly. They'll be like, Nas is dope, but not
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: all the beats or the song.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing. He never picked really good beats.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And me being a big Nas fan, bro, I've never
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: seen a post where somebody talks about Nas negatively. And
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I just even feel like moved to even respond. Like.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: If Nas don't hit you the way he hits me,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I just feel bad for you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: There's nothing to say.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I wish you was listening to what he's saying and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: understanding it this way because the dude.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Is going off.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I was a Nas fan up until Ether. I switched sides.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. But I'll never downplay Nas.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I just don't listen to Nas anymore like people.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Perfect example. I don't listen to Nas like how you listen.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And that's fine. Exactly.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: But I never downplay him for that.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And I'm okay with that. And if you came
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in here and said, Nas ain't even top 20 for you,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't even care, bro. We will have the little
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: discussion or whatever and then just keep it pushing. Like,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: it ain't even that deep. Like, I think that's my
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: favorite part about the internet stuff and people getting so
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: worked up online because it really just tells me, like, Like, Dan, like,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: something going on with you, bro. I hope you forget
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the help you need because you lashing out online, bro. Like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: this is bad, bro. I hope you find some happiness
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: in the arms of Eminem, bro. All you Eminem fans, dawg,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: just throw on the greatest hits. Throw on a curtain call.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Stand for sure. Yo, stand
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: for sure, dawg. Go on that stand so you can
• 10:06

• 10:38
  Speaker 1: that that's that's a perfect way to end that segment
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bro but um Let me pull out my trusty, dusty notes, dog,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: because I wrote down my stuff here. Oh, yeah, man.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: We got the Eminem talk out. Check that off. I
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: wanted to shout out AEW, man. They're like the competition,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the WWE wrestling company. Recently, like a couple weeks ago,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: not by now, a wrestler passed away. He had a
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: pay-per-view match one night. Next day, they came out and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: said he passed. It was crazy. People had just seen
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: him perfectly fine, best of his ability, top of his
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: physical prime. And then all of a sudden, yo, he
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: passed away. They just found him in his car outside
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: of a restaurant. They don't know exactly what happened yet.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: But that don't even matter, brother. The real thing is, man,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: rest in peace. His name was Pac. Ben Satterly was
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: his real name in WWE he went by Neville super
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: dope super dope wrestler if you get a minute to
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: just even look up like a little highlight reel of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: him he was super dope like even if you're not
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a wrestling fan it's somebody that you would be impressed
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: by the stuff he do you know what I'm saying yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: His finisher was great yeah yeah that was his finisher.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: It was the finisher in WWE he was called the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Red Arrow and I believe in AEW it was the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Black Arrow he just changed the name of it but
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: man he was Super talented, man. He was 40 years old, bro. Like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: he's a young man, bro. You know what I'm saying?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: That's always tough. And I've mentioned it on this show
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: how I'm not a big AEW fan. The style is
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: not really for me. But they definitely earned me as
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a fan with the tribute show they did for him
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: when he passed, man. Were you watching it during the show?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: You saw the clip.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: No, I actually watched it live. I tuned in once
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I knew what it was going to be because it
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: was on HBO Max. You can watch it on HBO
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Max on Wednesdays. Um, so I just, um, put it on.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: They did something dope in the beginning where they acknowledged
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: his career outside of their company, which was, and by name,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: which is something that WWE never does. They always like
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: act like you weren't doing anything before you got there
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: after like they kind of treat it all like it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like cross-branding. Exactly. So it was refreshing seeing them give
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: him his props as Neville in WWE and his accomplishments
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: in WWE. Um, You can tell by how all the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: wrestlers reacted that he was really loved. You know what
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like, that was another thing that I noticed. Like, man,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he was a beloved guy, bro. And they had just lost, like,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: another wrestler, like, the week before. And they had a
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: video of him crying like crazy just the week before
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: about losing his boy. And then he passes a week later, bro.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: It was super. it definitely been a rough couple of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: weeks if you're a AEW fan, cause that's.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Definitely some type Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: A lot of people were comparing it to that just
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: as far as like the impact they had and, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you know, what kind of guys they were.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They were good friends. One death affected the other.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: People have been talking about that, man. People have been
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: talking about that. It's definitely, that was a good pickup
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: by you. Cause that's definitely been like, kind of like
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the feeling in the air of, of something like that happening. And, um,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Another thing that they did was they were advertising the
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: whole night and all the wrestlers wore this shirt. And
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they said it during the broadcast multiple times, yo, this shirt,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: 100% of our proceeds is going to his family. To
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: his family. So if anybody buys this shirt, his family's
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: getting all that money.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's big.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: So definitely was something that was easy cop for me
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: if anybody, you know, feel like supporting me. Yeah, man.
• 14:21

• 14:52
  Speaker 1: how brolic he was. He was brolic from a little kid.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So he was on, I think it was Chris Jericho's podcast.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Him and Sammy Zane did an episode together. And he
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned like his dad gave him that nickname because he
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: just was always brolic from little. So it's like six pack.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: That's where it comes from.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he was huge, but he was agile. Hey, yo.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Hey, yo. He had that big agility. I'm about to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: use that nickname. The big agile.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Um but yeah dog um another thing that i wanted
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to talk about that came up super random but like
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: i wonder if like anybody else is gonna feel where
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: i'm coming from on this but like have you ever
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: kind of felt like you're like in any situation where
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you're kind of like an in-betweener and what i mean
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: by that is like you don't necessarily like all fit
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: In the situation you're in, you kind of half fit
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in another situation.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: As far as like what?
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Just in general. Like for me, bro.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Like friendships?
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I'll be like in a group of people
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and like I feel like I'm like half locked in.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? And then like I'll be
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: with like another group of people and they're like completely
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: different than these. And I'm, like, half locked in there.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: But I've never, like, I'll observe a group of people
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and I see how everybody's just, like, so in the moment,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: super locked in on what's going on. And then, like,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: there's certain situations where I'm, like, on the outside of that.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So I was just wondering
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: if anybody ever had that where, like, they kind of, like,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: don't 100% fit in in certain places. You know what
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I mean? And it's something you even mentioned, like, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I've heard from a lot of people, bro, like, they'd
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: be like, yo, you got some weird friends, bro. And
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'd always be like, I don't know, you know what
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? But the thing that I always say is like,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: but they solid, you know what I mean? I got
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: a couple friends, I'm not going to name them because
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: they're not weird to me, but I got a couple
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: friends that people be like, yo, that person's weird, but
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I'd be like, yo, I've been friends with this person
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: for like 15, 20 years and never even had a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: weird situation. So what's weird to you is like, cool,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's how you feel, that's how you feel,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: but to me, He's one of the realest motherfuckers I
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: ever met in my life. You know what I'm saying?
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So I just wanted to kind of put that out
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: there and get your thoughts on it too, just to
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: see if anybody else kind of feels that same way
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: too sometimes.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's it, right? I think it's like.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Personality similarities between you and friends, moral ground similarity between
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: you and friends, and then introvert, extrovert, I think, to
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: a level between you and friends. And then that's what,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: with every friend I have in my life who I
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: actually consider a friend that I care about to an
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: extent where I'll be there for them, I'll do things
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: for them, I'll hold them down, there's a select few
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: of those. And there's people like that that I look
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: about some things I give grace for, right? We can
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: be the same this way, this way, and completely different
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: this way. If we're completely different in another way, I
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: analyze the situation first. And if I can understand it,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I get that grace and say, okay, I can still
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: be as friends with that person. I just understand we're
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: completely different situations from that. But if it's just people
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: who are just completely against everything I believe in, then
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I can't do it. But on the other side, you
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: find yourself being friends with people who are not. almost
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: anything like you, but you share similarities and you're loyal
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: at the end of the day. And there's certain things
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: that matter that you can overlook things.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's even something, me and you, when you were
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: saying that, it reminded me of one of the events
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: we had. Me and you was talking about, like, there's
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: certain stuff that, like, you hear from, like, a homie
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: or just somebody around you that you're like, oh, I'm
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: not going to rock with him. Like, that they'll be
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: like down for certain types of things that you'd be like, Oh,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: that lets me know. Like, I'm not locking in with
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: him like that. You know what I mean? Like there's
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: even like, like the thing of, uh, you know, people,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: people in general that just are just cool with cheating
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: on their spouses. Like they just, they, they can just
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: kind of like brush that off.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: That's major.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? Like if, and I always
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: think about it that way, like, man, if you willing
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to do some slimy stuff to the person that's like
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: most important to you, bruh, You will dog me out
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in a second, bro. You will dog me out right away. So, like,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I always notice stuff like that. And that's why we
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: were talking about it, actually. Shout out to the group chat, bro. Like,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: the group chat we got, like, that's one of the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: things that's super dope. Like, everybody in there, if if
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: there's anything going on like that that we're all trying
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to put together you know it's just a good time
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: with no bs no strings attached nothing like it's.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Just straight up it's easy nothing's uh forced.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Nothing's forced nobody's on no bull Like, you're not going
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: to get anybody in there, like, to suggest some stuff
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that you're going to be like, okay, bro. Everybody knows
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: how to read the room because we all in lockstep with, like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: certain things. You know what I mean?
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Like I said, just effortless is that kind of friendship.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And the dynamic it has.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, bro, I got a friend
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that I was talking to recently that was having, like,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: some moments of, like, self-doubt. because he was feeling left
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: out of like a circle that he wanted to be
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a part of. You know what I'm saying? And, um,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I was like, bro, like, do you see like what
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you got going on? Like, look, look, look at yourself
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: just from the outside looking in what you got going
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: on slash what you've accomplished and the circle that you're
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: trying to infiltrate, what they're, what they're on and what
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: they've accomplished. Why are you even trying so hard to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: get into that circle? You know what I'm saying? When
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I look at this person, I'm like, bro, you're doing
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the stuff you need to be doing. You've found the successes.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: He's hit all the successes for his age that everybody
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: would say. Car paid off.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: House.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Owns property. Bought at a good time. Way before the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: prices went up. You know what I mean? Somebody that's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: doing their thing. And, like, you don't even need to
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: be in that circle because they're not even aligned with
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: what you want. They're going to drain you, if anything.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? And I'm always kind of
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: fascinated by, like, certain things that I see people put
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: their energy in that you know is not, like, feeding them.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: But you're like, damn, bro, like, you're really just dedicated to, like,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: putting your energy this way.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Some people just can't let that stuff go.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I remember a rapping competition on Netflix with Cardi B
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: and Chance the Rapper and Snoop.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: And then Snoop to that one dude who was from.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: D Smoke.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: D Smoke, there we go.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: And then Snoop's like, where you from? And I forgot
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: a response, but he kept saying the same thing.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: He's like, no, where you from?
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: And he repeated his answer. And then Snoop lifted up
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: his eyeglasses. And he's like, that was a test. Like,
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I was trying to see if I could pull you
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: back in to that kind of stuff. That people are
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: so weak to, like, give up that life. And Snoop
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: was questioning to see if he would respond in that way.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And he didn't. And he's like, that's how I know
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: you're going somewhere. Now, facts.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: And that's a funny thing, too, man. Because that really, like,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: hits the nail on the head of, like, part. Part
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: of what I'm saying, really, bro, is, like, sometimes, like,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you come from a certain upbringing or, like, from a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: certain group of people and you feel like you got to, like,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: win with them. Or, like, you got to, like, you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: got to make moves within that group.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got something to prove to them.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? It's like, bro, like, not
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: everybody's going in the direction you're going. You know what
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Not everybody's trying.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I gave up a lot of people like that. When
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I felt like I had to prove something to them,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: then I realized, oh, I got nothing to prove to those.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Kind of people. Especially people that you can just tell
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: are not even trying to progress in a certain way.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Also, I felt like it was never doing anything for me.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: It was always doing something for them. Yeah, that's another
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: big one, man.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: It's not selfish to think about what somebody brings to
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: your life as well. Because at the end of the day,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: friendship is selfless and selfish. Because, yeah, you're going to
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: be selfless for people, but you're only going to be
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: selfless for people that are going to fulfill something in you.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: And I still am today.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Whether it's the funny, you know, you like to hang
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: out with them because they're funny. You like to hang
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: out with them because they're optimistic. Whatever the reason is,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: they're adding something to your life that that's the reason
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: why you rock with them. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: you can't just rock with people just to rock with
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: them and they're not adding nothing.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: If you're not even laughing when you're around this motherfucker, like,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: what you doing, bro?
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: And it's also the people that rock with you, truly.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: And it's funny, I had that conversation with one of
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: my boys. And before I got married, and I know
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: we joke. I don't mind saying it. I'm an asshole,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: you know, in the chat. But I was, like, truly
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: a legit asshole for a good period of my life
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: just because of the situations I was going in. And
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: after I met my wife and I got married, I
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: became a different person. And these people still rock with me.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: And not because I'm less of an asshole, because they
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: should have left me back then. But then we talk
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: about it and it's like, yeah, you know, we kind
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: of miss that guy sometimes.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I'm not him no more.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: But that's why, like, I can evolve and become a
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: different character to a different person. And they accept that
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: and they still roll with me. Those are the kind
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: of people that are important.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: In your life.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man. And another thing, bro, like, when you're around
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: people that have, like, not just things that are, like,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: your opinion of, like, they should be more like this
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: or they should be more like that. I'm not talking
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: about stuff like that, but, like, when you see, like,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: clear things, like, substance issues, you know, we talked about
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: it a little earlier, infidelity.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say moral issues is the biggest thing.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: If you're seeing glaring moral things, bro, like, And you
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: see that they're not trying to address it, that'll bring
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you down. That'll bring you down being around and rocking
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: with people like that, man.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: And sometimes you still have to maintain a relationship for
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: certain reasons with this person, but then you reevaluate it
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: and you know where to set limits and boundaries with
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: those type of relationships.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Nah, facts. That's how it is, man. And the friendship
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: thing's so funny, man, because, like, One of the things
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: they always say, I don't know if it's true or not,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: that your friends kind of change every seven years. And
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I definitely believe that from the point of view of
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: there's definitely certain situations that you get into because of
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: shared interests and then those things kind of disappear. And
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where I go back to what I
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: was saying earlier. If the person ain't solid, once the
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: other stuff is not there no more, what's left? You
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? Once you strip everything away and
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: you're just with this person, what is really going on?
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: What are they really talking about? What is their life like, really?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? There's so many things that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you can see as far as people's habits and just
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the way they respect time, the way they respect other
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: people's time. A lot of that stuff is like you're...
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: You see the signs, you know what I mean?
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: And after over a long period of time, so it's like,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: after five years, nah, this person's grimy, or after five years,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: this person's solid.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Then you know.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And another thing, too, is don't feel bad if after
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: years you realize that wasn't it, and you're like, damn,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I'm wasting my time, whatever. It's like, bro, it happens.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Just cut your losses, don't let it drag.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I've cut off plenty of friendships that I thought I
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: had to maintain forever, and then when I started to
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: realize I didn't, hey, it's what it is.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was listening to something the other day about, oh,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that was the Bad Friends podcast, and Andrew Santino was
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: talking about, like, he cut off all the friends that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: every time he pulled them up on his phone, it
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: was just them sending happy birthday texts back and forth. Oh, yes.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: It's like, bro, if all we talk about is once
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a year, happy birthday, we're not friends, bro, and we
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: don't need to be tapping in, you know what I'm saying?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: And I feel like that's something that people be feeling
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: bad about, too. Like, they feel like They always have
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to maintain presence with people. It's like, you don't, bro.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Live your life. If the person truly is cool with
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you and y'all are both on the right mindset, they're
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: not going to be butthurt about you living your life, bro.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: If it doesn't line up now, it just don't line up.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I got plenty of friends who we won't go see
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: each other for months, but the whole entire time we're
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: still communicating and making sure it's all love.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: We ain't got time to.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Chill and do stuff together, but It's still like little
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: inside jokes or links on something. It has to be
