  Speaker 1: I feel like it's probably you know, it's been a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: lot of guys, especially to me, the people that matter, Like,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I've been hearing ship like this from you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: early on, from like people like DJ Clark King, you know,

• 5:35
  Speaker 1: been getting my flowers from from you know, from them Buster. Yeah,
• 5:40

• 5:43
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm a hip hop nigga, Like I'm a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: hip hop head like from like the nineties though, like
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the nineties, the Grammy nineties era, so like you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you know, I had like Product, he was my big brother,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: feah me, like all all the people like that. You know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I mean that you would identify with from that era
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: in the grimmy nineties. Fuck with me, woutang watch the DMX.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I was on DMX album personally to uh, you know
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the locks kissing styles and them of my brothers. You
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like I said, p was my
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: brother have on my album, my last album, you know
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Method Man, Lemonade was a moment Math.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: It's kind of dope to see Meth through Lemonade in
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the verses too. Yeah, it was amazing to see I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: comet believe he did that with shout out to Meth
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: for that. But you know, like I was saying, like,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you know, ship, like that is what mattered to me
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the most. So I don't really care about you know, niggas.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You know niggas, I don't care about y'all listens, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I don't care about none of that ship. I do
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: just from a competitor standpoint, just if because I'd just
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: be feeling like, you know, that's what anybody you think
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: niggas Look at the top seventy five NBA and like, man,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: how I ain't forty nine? What crazy average? You know
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Right, twenty five points for the people
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: who did. I don't think they did that, and did
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they do that shit in order? I don't know, but
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I'm just nobody to hear you. Like, if you're Dwight Howard,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you're pissed off you didn't make the list because you're like,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: what the fuck? Yeah, you probably don't make you lose
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: no sleep. It's like, I felt like I did enough
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to deserve, you know, the type of recognition, But at
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the same time, I really don't give a fuck about that,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: like because I feel like I'm already validated, and I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: wont because I got people like busting them niggas and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Ray and Royce and Meth and you know what I'm saying,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: right like they told me I'm nice nas whole I mean, listen,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you get the whole record finally, which was a moment.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I feel like last year in general, you had so
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: many moments on when it came to just whether it
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: was Dondo, whether it was working with Hole, I mean,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: just the DMX album, like just some real, just iconic
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: rap shit bucket list ship probably last year that you
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: could just check off, like Okay, we got a song
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: with Hoe, you know what I mean? Okay, you know
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and Kanye shit. Okay, cool, you know what I'm saying,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Like these are this bucket list shit. Being on DMX's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: last album, knowing that you were on his album. Yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: doing the BT Awards, knowing DMX wanted you. You know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: you could have been on like a you know, a
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: lot of times when people passed, we get an album afterwards,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and sometimes the features aren't authorized. But like DMX talked
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: about y'all's record, you know what I'm saying. So did
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: that feel good? Like last year? Obviously, like you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: list aside all that shit, like just personally on some
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: like rap fan shit, the kind of shit you got
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to be a part of last year had to be real.

• 8:48
  Speaker 1: just so thankful and grateful for everybody that you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: play the part and and all of that. Like everything
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you named and even the stuff you didn't name, you did. Man,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you did a lot last year. One of my favorite
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: records last year was the record DoD with j I D.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: That ship is fucking crazy. Yeah, that had me on
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: fat and then obviously Scatterbrain came, but but just in general, yeah,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: there's just so much, man, I can just you know,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just truly truly amazing. Man. It's dope, Man,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: it's dope. A lot of a lot of moments. Let's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: go through some of them. So talk about the J
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Record because obviously we always think about right before the

  Speaker 1: pandemic hit, you performing the cow hugging hole on the
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: side at Novo. I was at the show that was.
• 9:33

  Speaker 1: last shows in l A at least was. But how
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: did the J Record end up finally happening, you know,
• 9:43

• 25:31

  Speaker 1: God Rest all Soul, you know. But I feel like
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: y'all have similar work ethics and just on the independent ship.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Like a lot of times it could be niggas on
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: some lazy ship as artists, and then a lot of
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: times toos, everybody don't be having a freedom to kind
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: of release when they want, especially if they're on the major. Yeah, everybody,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: you know, it's the beauty of being, you know, kind
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: of when you can do what you want. Berner can
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: do what the fuck you want to do. You drop
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: five albums this month if you want. Well, I was
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: just telling we just had Benny here last week, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: I was like, yo, there's something about the fact Benny
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: signed a death Jam and then tend to talk for
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: it's still independent on Griselda and Empire, and the fact
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: that y'all signed this whole shady fucking deal. Was it
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: seven years ago? Six years ago? It's been some years, right,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it's been a minute, and you guys were able to
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: just drop whatever the fuck you want while still being
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: on a major, but still technically being on a major
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: independently keep all of that and then picking you know, hey,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: look this is a shady album, but everything else is separate.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Not a lot of people got that deal. Yeah, I mean,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: just you know, we ain't really trying to like sign it,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: uh like regular deal. Like if I can't when I'm
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: looking at going into Dell's, Like, if I can't at
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: least be partners, what are we doing? Right? Yeah? I
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: think that so like when I'm part know this, when
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: I have these partnerships, you know what I'm doing with
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: my other entities. Ship, don't got nothing to do it
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: this over here? You feeling shit? That's a drum work tape,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you know what I man, they work out kind of
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: kind of good when you just move like that. Like
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I like to be partners, you know what I'm saying
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on this album? Some great production. Let's go through. Who
• 27:23

  Speaker 1: that's I think that's about it. You getting Beanie on
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: the project had I mean, Beanie Tommy is probably like
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: top three or four smost slept on rappers ever. When
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: we think about just the respect that like, we don't
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: talk about Beanie like I think we should. And you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: as far as being an all time great, I think
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: he's in those conversations and they Uh, that was one
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: of the features that I didn't hear when you played
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: me the album. So I'm assuming that was something that
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: probably happened the last I don't know what twelve months
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, that happened. That happened pretty recently. Beans
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: came to Buffalo and you know what I'm saying, Beans
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Yeah, he came to Buffalo and you know,
• 28:49

  Speaker 1: that you know, he wanted to come to Buffalo and
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: just the conversations he wanted to have with me that
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: you know, I ain't gonna talk about on camera and shit.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: But he's been through a lot, manop Man, just dope
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: that he came to me for that. You know what
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's different when someone comes to you, especially
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in your hometown. You know what I mean. Man, that's different.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: You could link up with someone in Atlanta or LA
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: that's easy. But like someone coming to Buffalo security and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: none of that ship like just some regular shit. Man.

• 41:15
  Speaker 1: eras of hip hop, and we think of like who
• 41:19

• 41:21
  Speaker 1: when we were growing up, whether it was Nas, whether
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: it was Kiss, whether it was Hove, Big al whatever,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you're that guy right now, so like are like I
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: think in fifteen years, we're gonna look back and be like, man,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: we was. Do you remember the Conway Griselda Era. Yeah,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: that's dope, That's that's man. You know, And I know
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: how important that shit is to you because because you know,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Benny, and like Benny's like very
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: kind of on the opposite end of the spectrum because
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: I know you give a fuck as far as like
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you're going for that number one spot because it matters
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: to you. Benny's kind of nonchalant about it. He's like, look,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: people are gonna give me say what they're gonna say,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: or they're not gonna say with it. I know how
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: important that is to you to make sure motherfuckers really
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: put that on your name. Like I feel about this ship.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Any want to be the best. That's why I'm motherfucking
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: on sleep. And it's just NonStop. He is NonStop for sure,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Like he all over the place everywhere, Like Benny, I
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: know you guys did this and we talked about this
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: in the interview that him and I did. To just
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: drop music right now, Tan to talk four coming out,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: I think March eleventh, you guys have a song called
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Tyson Versa Ali that everyone will hear. That's I thought
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: an important record because I kind of feel like when
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: it comes to just like the Griselda fans and the
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: there's like a Griselda Reddit thread and like there's like,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you know, there's just this little world of like hardcore
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Griselda fans, and I feel like you guys kind of
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: like put a lot of that, like some of the
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: dumb narratives that people create that is not non existing
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: kind of to sleep on that record in terms of
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: just being like, yo, like we're family. At the end
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: of the day. If you're doing good, I'm doing Like
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: we're happy for each other. Yeah, And at the end
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of the day, that's really what it is, you know
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like you know, you know, people tend
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: to love like, I don't know, like a story like

• 50:51
  Speaker 1: So that's the next shit I'm working on. And then
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: hopefully we figure out what this Beanie Seagull mystery shit
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: is that you just that you just laid on us.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, listen, many just signing to trying
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: to think about for the for the people watching speculate, Hey,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: if uh someone who's not affiliated with you currently, right,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: taking out the Griselda roster, the drumwork roster, who would
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: be an artist if you could pick, and and let's
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: even take out like jay Z and Nas and Lil Wayne,
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: all these obvious answers, who's an artist that you could
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: that you if you could pick, to do a whole
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: album with. You know what I'm saying, that you think
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: could just hang with you with the bars that you
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: think would just be dope like semi mainstream, you know,
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: but like obviously you could be like I want to
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: do an album with Drake or jay Z And that's
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: like low hanging fruit, Like, give me, give me a
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: name signed out to the fire? Who? Like who I
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: would love to just who you think would be hard?
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Who you think the fans would appreciate too? That's a
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: great question. Uh why? Oh that's a great question, man,
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: That's a great fucking question. Man. I don't know. I
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: really don't know who I can think you know what
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, probably like who would I want to
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: do take with? Like that'll be crazy, man, I have
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: no idea, bro, something that might be random. Maybe Russ
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Kiss or Styles would be hard. Yeah, low key Lemonade
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: was such a moment. You a method man, A little
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: six piece with meth might be crazy. That will be insane.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: And me and Russ me in locks? Yeah, probably probably
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: mean math. How about this you and Mazi a fuck?
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: That would be crazy? I feel like on the just
• 53:03

• 53:25
  Speaker 1: right before the album drops. Albums out the twenty fifth,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: the twenty fifth, twenty fifth, make mistakes. How much input
• 53:33

• 53:55
  Speaker 1: Paul Royce and blame them the album front and back
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and he fucked with every record. I was like, this shit,
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: this is ready to go. And that's when like he
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: he jumped on a bang and fifty got on the
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: city on the map joint like that. Even though we
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: lost those records, but that's what I'm saying. I played
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: them in the tape. It was like I didn't have
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that was the critique, Like, Yo, this ship
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: is fucking amazing, this is ready, this is ready. Do
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you even like have anyone who's critique you like or

  Speaker 1: they like a pair of my craft, you know what
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. They give you input you're open to up right.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: You know, if I'm a pilot and I fly planes
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: for a living, like somebody that just took a flight
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: here and there can't tell me how I should have
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: landed the flight, you know what I'm saying. But like
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: it's another pilot that flies to and been flying longer
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: than me or whatever, like I take I ain't one
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: of those type of dudes. I'm opening criticism, you know
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, likes to be like, yeah, no, I
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: think you could have said that last line a little harder,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: little little iller that you could have ended that better.
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: I could have You know, we we've done that. And Benny,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: when we cook and stuff together, you know, maybe tell
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: each other like, nah, bro, say that little say that
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: last part a little better. You know what I'm saying,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Oh why are you talking about that last line? I
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: got you? You know what I'm saying, was that West?
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Tell me? Like tell me you know what I'm saying.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: You know that versus a Just just see I love
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: this impersonation oh you go a little crazier. Hey, were
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: you at the Chiefs game? Which one? The one? I
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: mean the one? No, I didn't go to that one,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: you know what. I was saving my energy for the
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: super Bowl. I ain't going to that because the Bengals
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: had already handled their business. So I knew once we
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs, we had us another home game and
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: the playoff super Bowl and then the super Bowl. So
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I will go to that game. Yeah when
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: that confetti fall, so I can, you know, get on
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: the parade flow like Kevin Hart and all that shit.
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: You feel what? Unfortunately, you know what I'm saying. How
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: was you know? I can't imagine the emotional roller coaster
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: that that game was to be a Bills fan because
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: that ship as a as just a football fan, I
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: was on the that was probably the best game I've
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: ever watched, ever watched, Like I think Texas versus USC
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: when it was Vince Young and Matt Lioner was one
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: of them. You know what I'm saying. But NFL wise,
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: I can't think of a better game game man, perfect quarterbacks,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: perfect ratings. Both had perfect games like for Patrick two
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: weeks to row perfect games, but job man, was I mean,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: if not Patrick for Josh, for Josh, yeah for sure,
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: But for me personally, that kind of stung worse than
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: I was losing them Super Bowls man. Yeah, because you
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: were probably a lot younger at the time. I was guted.
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie like you know, you know, watch
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Josh March just down there score a two point version
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: thirty nine, thirty six. We you know, thirteen seconds left.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: The coach and Josh they hugging, and it's just I'm
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: in my house. I remember what like me and everybody
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: in my house just running back and forth, going crazy
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: and too much time. I know it was. I know
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: we was in trouble. When they kicked the touchback and
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: they didn't just like let some of the less some
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: of the clock. I'm like, do the squire kick right,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like, you take three four seconds off that clock.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: It matters easily. So I'm like, wait a minute. And
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: then saw the defense like the whole middle of the
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: field and they got time out was left. I'm like,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: scratch whitehead and that first first down I'm like, this
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: shit ain't over. And at least y'all got Josh Allen
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the fucking for the rest of
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: his career. He ain't going nowhere. Yeah, man, y'all got one. Yeah,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: we got one. Man. I think Josh guy has to
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: be of course, outside of like the Brady's and the Errands,
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: I think I will take Josh Allen before any of
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: them niggas. I might agree with you. Give me Josh
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Allen because you know what you got. You got the
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: threat of that run. Yeah, you got the heart. He's like,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: who I wish Kyler Murray? Like, he's like who I
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: think Kyler Murray actually is? But Josh Allen is really him? Yeah?
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Is Kyler Murray's five feet to Jackson? I love you
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Patrick Mahomes, I love Burrow, Patrick Mahomes.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Fucking family annoys me. I can't deal with what's the
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: homie hout here? Stafford. Herbert's a beast. I love Herbert
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: and it's my time to pick. And I know what
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: I know why watching the why what I've seen so
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: far in their careers. Me, Josh, that's five to sixty
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: two seventy whatever it is, running and throwing like the
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: rocket iron with that heart and that dog getting like that.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Give me that one that's some real shit. Hey, you're
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: I think why people love you so much, man, is
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: because you are extremely transparent, You're extremely honest, You're extremely
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: vulnerable when you rap and when it comes to just
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: like everyday ship that everyone deals with that most rappers
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: are too cool to even talk about, whether it's being
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: depressed sometimes, whether it's being down at just down and out,
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That ship is something that
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: I think the big reason why a lot of people
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: relate to your ship for people who are going through
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: some shiit because it happens normal people. A lot of
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: your fans go through shit, man, Like when you're in
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: those spaces mentally, Like, what is some advice you could
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: give to people to try to get through it, man?
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: Because I know you've been in some dark places. Uh,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: you know, talk to somebody, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's it's better to talk to somebody,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I was one of the
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: type of people that kind of like just keep ship
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: bottled in kind of you know, compartmentalize and keep that
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: ship like I'm good. You know what I'm saying. Yo,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: Shit's good, bro, You good like yeah, I'm good. You
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It's like it's better to just

  Speaker 1: have you somebody that you you fuck with, whether it's
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: like your girl or your your you know, your mom,
• 1:00:44

• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: yo's negative ship, but like I'm here for you. You

  Speaker 1: give us the ear and we feel like, you know,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: talk to that person, hit that person up and just talk.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Like I felt so much
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: relief when I talk to somebody for some reason, and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: my whole life I was just was the total opposite.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: Like I don't I bottle up, I don't talk. I
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: just like and then just like it's festers good. It's
• 1:01:39

  Speaker 1: I have people. You know what I'm saying. I have
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: people like that I could, you know, just like even today,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I'm gonna give you example,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: like I'm gonna keep it a buck. Like I was
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: kind of like frustrated and shit about some ship that
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: kind of fucked with me, me out my zone, like
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: you know, me out my good energy, my good space,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, fuck everything, I ain't doing metafit IMB,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I booked my flight. I'm going home. I ain't doing
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: none of the interviews, none of that ship is over.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Fuck that, you know. I just gotta tell you know
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: my old I just caught myself and I just like
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: wrote me up one and I called that person who
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: I was just talking about that you gotta have. I
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: called that person who's that for me and just talk
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: to them about like she gotta be mad as hell.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Oh man, I'm tired of like, no, you need you
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and you go from there. You
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: don't have to just do what you know, you make
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: your own decision. At least you have someone that I'm
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: just gonna give you what I think. Now you listen
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: or you do it or whatever. That's on you, but
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think you should do that. That's not good,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: like important to have that person out when you're doing
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: all this and that, like you say yourself back. You
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. That's important. You know, me and
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: you are both degenerous sports gamblers. Sports gambling is so
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: much fun. I love it, but I also hated I
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: hate it, but I love it. You've posted some amazing tickets.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: You've had some fucking hints, especially when you started. You
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: were hitting some of those alternate lines where you were
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: between thirteen and sevente eight shit like that. You was
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: on a run. But we don't see the losses. I
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: had a really bad year last year. Bounce back, finally,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: take me through the worst time as a sports gambler
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: you've been through, like just whether it was just because
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: when you take a big loss, there is no feeling
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: like that in the world. It sucks. Yes, I ain't
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: gonna like. The only thing that's worse than if I
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: like that big and I lose is if like, for example, recently,
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: this shit happened, I lost literally by like a half
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: a point, Like that's the worst, Like was it to parlay? Yeah,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Like it was like a six, pick, parlay everything, and
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: I would have won like double digit thousands of dollars.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: And fucking for me, it was Mike White from the
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: fucking chest. It was uh, it was that fucked me
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: into But it was the Bucks. I had Giannis playing
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: special forty four and a half. He had forty four
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter. It was that rebounds and points
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: was winning by thirty, right and it was winning by thirty.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: So he took him and played the old four. Just
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: needed a alf a fucking one, get a rebound, get something.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: I was I was like, yo, that's the worst. You're like, yo,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: Hopefully this team goes on a run. And they got
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: to put him back in. I've been there, I've been there.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: I had, uh the Bills go to the super Bowl.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: I put a ticket in eight grand would have played
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: me seventy two thousand. I did it at the beginning
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: of the season, and that was close because if y'all
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: would have got through that game, no way. The Bengals
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: are survival. Man, what will look like kittens? If someone
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: had to give you, let's say you had to put
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: you had to throw ten grand down on a future
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: for the NBA Championship, Who's making the finals right now,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna say, I gotta give it to Ukta.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: I gotta say Phoenix. I want to say Golden State.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: Man they not. I haven't seen finals yet, but you know,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: motherfuckers could get warm every That's my mom. I think,
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: I think. I think Clay is not the same guy
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: defensively anymore, which I think is a problem. I think
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: that's the problem is defensively Clay is not who he
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: was three years ago. So who's gonna guard Devin Booker
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: and Chris Paul in the Western Conference finals. It's not
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: gonna be Clay and Steph Wiggans know they're gonna throw
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Gary Payton in there. You know what I'm saying. But yeah,
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: then you got Then you leave mckil bridges open in
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: the corner. Jay Crowder, gam Johnson, thank you all right?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: What about the East? What about the East? So you
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: like the trade? I love the trade. I think Brooklyn
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: should fuck around and try to get the seven seed
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: or eight seed so they have more games Kyrie can
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: play in in the playoffs, because if they got home
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: court advantage, he can only play in a certain he
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: can only play in three of the games. If it's
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: a seven game series because if they play at home,
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: he can't play. You'd almost rather go play away the
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: whole fucking playoffs, so Kyrie can play. As long as
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: we got old number seven. Man, Katie's a killer. We fine.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: Did you see the Did you see the draft with
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: him and Lebron? The All Star drafts? Broy Lebron Purposely,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: they purposely left hard and out there this is the
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: day of the trade. Purposely did no one took heart
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: at And Charles Barkley and Shack are roasting the ship
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: the whole time. Katie's just sitting there with a straight face,
