0:55
the hair out his ears and then she sat down and pulled out the
0:59
during the eyebrows of him and and and and then pulled out the

health back his head. So that's why he got a bald
1:04
spot. I am.
1:21
I am so invested. I know, I know.
1:23
You're probably just make it like ripping on the spot.

Prepared man, they got a dude and this is actually a true
2:36

3:36

3:51
First off, welcome back everybody.
3:55
Thanks. Hated it in in memory of Justin
3:58

4:04
guest on this episode or on this podcast.
4:11
In memory. Moment of silence.
4:13
I'm not going to do a moment of silence, but moment of silence
4:16
for them choosing not to be here. 123 That's the moment of
4:21
silence. There it is.
4:25
Oh man, no. So I watch a lot of this channel
4:29
called Cinnamon Toast Ken on YouTube.
4:32
OK, and it's just these two buddies, high school buddies
4:36
that sit and it's just reacts. It's stuff that we want to do
4:41
future like for thanks hated it reacts, you know, but they just
4:44
react to shit and they have it. Probably their most famous
4:49
playlist is them reacting to the to catch a predator stuff.
4:55
They had they had Chris Hansen on the show at one point.
4:59
Yeah, and they had the opening part of the video was Dane, his
5:04
Co host buff pro opens the door and he walks in and he goes hey,
5:09
what's up everybody? And and then the camera cuts to
5:12
Chris and he's like, I'm going to need you to take a seat over
5:15
there and Dane. And it cuts back to Dane and
5:17
he's like. Wait a minute.
5:20
He's like, wait. A minute, Wait a minute.
5:22
Heart is in my knees right now. It's like, that's funny though
5:27
now, but. They did a video talking about
5:30
this dude that was a fighter. Now, this was several years ago,
5:34
but they, the police, it was a body Cam footage and they were
5:39
looking and looking for this dude that impregnated a person
5:46
with disabilities in a care facility.
5:52
And they were like, OK, so what's going on with it?
5:56
You know, like and they were looking.
5:58
What is going on? They were.
5:59
Interviewing current employees and they were like, did you talk
6:02
to this person? Did you talk to this person?
6:05
Everybody commented, hey, you should probably go find this
6:09
person. He was fired.
6:11
You should probably go talk to him.
6:13
That would be the guy I would talk to.
6:15
Yeah, dude, when all of your coworkers.
6:19
Pointing the finger. Pointing the finger at you,
6:21
there's something going on, something going on.
6:23
It turned out DNA came back, that it was done for him.
6:27
But dude, come on man. Oh gosh, what a way to start an
6:31
episode. Man what I'm telling you man
6:35
what is wrong with y'all? Oh my God she's already disabled
6:40
now. I didn't heard of kicking
6:41
somebody when they down but not sticking your stuff in and when
6:44
they down on. And this guy, this guy
6:47
apparently was like an up and coming MMA fighter too.
6:52
He he talked to the cops when they first, like, confronted him
6:58
and just to get information, you know.
7:00
Yeah, he talked to them about the recent fight he came back
7:06
from, like he travelled to go to this fight.
7:08
And then he goes. He he went and did this, you
7:12
know, it's like that's oh. My really, brother, you are a
7:16
fighter. My, my boy, you, if you're
7:20
listening, yeah, you are a fighter.
7:24
I'm pretty sure you have women that that that's interested
7:29
other than you, other than you trying to steal some disabled,
7:34
you know? Like, come on.
7:36
Bro, you know, it's, it's not, it's not the, the, the
7:43
horniness. It's like.
7:45
I understand horniness, you know I you.
7:47
Know. I haven't had a significant
7:49
other in 12 years now. You know, that's all right.
7:53
There's nothing wrong with that. It's not.
7:55
I understand the feeling, but I'm not going, you know?
8:00
To the disabled. I'm not.
8:03
Sticking anything in anyone, you know, like I'm not going after
8:08
anything. Definitely the disabled.
8:10
Jeez, I can't even let that rest.
8:14
That's yeah. The disabled.
8:16
Yeah. And it was, it was a care
8:19
facility specifically for these people, you know, like.
8:23
You. You, you are responsible for
8:27
caring for these people and you break that trust like that man.
8:31
Are you in trouble? Put you under.
8:33
The jail God, Yeah. Put you under the jail.
8:36
Yeah, you gonna be, you gonna be in some trouble, brother.
8:40
Yeah. I mean, you might get away.
8:41
You might get away with that in the in, in, in the world.
8:44
But, man, when you go and see God, you know best believe God
8:48
take care of them disabled people and the fact that you,
8:55
you sit there and and you do what you doing with them, with
8:58
these disabled people, man, come on now, you know, even if you go
9:01
and I ain't, you know, we going to be talking about religion and
9:05
lie. All right.
9:07
Even if you go and read Samuel, you know, you will see that, you
9:15
know, once you get to a part, definitely the beginning because
9:18
I'm just now reading Samuel. So I don't know Samuel.
9:23
I don't know Samuel. I'm just not reading.
9:25
My aunty was like, you need to read the book of Samuel.
9:27
I'm like, I never read it. Let me read it.
9:29
But Samuel got to a point where he got jealous because somebody
9:35
else was getting more praise or whatever than he was.
9:38
So he got to a point where he started doing jealous stuff and
9:42
caught up with him after a while.
9:45
But it's a in the book of Samuel, Eli is either Eli Ellis.
9:55
Correct me if I'm wrong y'all y'all that know the Bible better
9:58
than me. Correct me if I'm wrong 'cause
10:00
like I said, I just started reading Samuel.
10:02
So I don't know it all, but it's a it's a prophet named Eli or
10:08
Ellis and his two boys. When people came and did
10:13
sacrifices to God, his two boys would take that sacrifice and
10:18
they would just Jack off with it.
10:22
You see what I'm saying? And God said y'all going to die.
10:27
He went to the dad and told your son's going to die.
10:32
Matter of fact to make you to prove that this is coming from
10:36
God, I'm going to kill him on the same day.
10:40
I'm going to kill him on the same day.
10:42
And what happened? They died on the same day.
10:45
Why? Because people was bringing
10:48
sacrifices to God when he said you had to do sacrifices.
10:53
We don't have to do sacrifices no more.
10:55
But when sacrifices was when it was required, these people would
11:02
bring these sacrifices, whether it was a goat, cow, whatever the
11:05
case is, and they would take it and they would just mess it up.
11:10
They wouldn't even, you know, if it was like, oh, let me bring
11:13
you my check and you put the check in the checkbook, they
11:17
would be like, all right, I brought a check for $200.
11:19
They'd be like, he brought a check for $50 and I'm going to
11:22
take the top. I'm going to make that my day
11:24
was doing stuff like that. Man.
11:26
God killed him on the same day, bro.
11:29
He killed both of them on the same day, so let that be a
11:33
message to all y'all that's out here getting disabled people
11:36
pregnant. Do it do it that going after
11:41
minors like doing just. Man and and it makes you so
11:47
paranoid. I got 2 girls.
11:49
I got 2 girls and a boy. You know my, my oldest is very
11:54
talented. She in a dance, she draws, she
11:58
do this and it makes me so paranoid.
12:01
I'm like, yeah, no, yeah, I take my daughter out on daddy
12:06
daughter days, take out to eat, take out the shop, take out to
12:11
the park, whatever the case is. But my intentions with that is
12:17
when you meet a guy, if you don't break the standard what I
12:23
did for you and regardless of Christmas or birthdays, but just
12:28
being a genuine. Day-to-day.
12:30
Day-to-day father male treating girls or women respectfully.
12:36
If he don't beat that, he's not worth it because I'm showing you
12:40
your value. If he can't meet that, if he
12:43
can't meet that standard, he he need to go ahead, go to the next
12:47
chick over here that he can just hit and go because this one
12:51
ain't this one ain't you ain't gonna do that one.
12:53
So that one, I'm like, hey. Build up, build up that
12:56
self-confidence, boom, build up that self worth.
12:59
Yeah, no, that's that's great. That's that's what we're missing
13:03
in society nowadays. I completely agree with.
13:05
That and and and not to say we always got to be serious, but we
13:08
got to have them with a sense of humor.
13:11
Yeah, you gotta watch your watch your comedy movie like my
13:15
daughter loves in Portland Dynamite.
13:19
I can't scan that movie. I can't stand.
13:23
I just, yes, just awful. Oh my God, I'll laugh.
13:30
I it's fun. I get the I get the humor in it.
13:33
I get. I just, I don't.
13:35
We got to bring this up now, the fact that you say you don't like
13:38
Napoleon Dynabite, what do you think about the office?
13:42
See, I'm not a huge fan of The Office.
13:44
I, again, I will laugh at it. I think that there are several,
13:49
you know, funny moments and stuff.
13:51
I just, I don't know, there's something.
13:52
Yeah, I'm crying over there. Weird.
13:55
That weird like UN unsettling feeling.
13:59
I just, I don't care. For it, you know, but once, once
14:02
I start watching the office. It's funny, don't get me wrong.
14:06
It is. It's.
14:07
Corny. Yes, it's corny.
14:08
It's. Corny yeah, but see you got to
14:11
have a sense of humor because if you laugh at Corning is then
14:14
that's the office is cool. Yeah, yeah.
14:16
But see, now if you don't understand it, then it's like,
14:20
it's like, what am I watching? This is corny note next.
14:23
Yeah, yeah. But see, now I'm like, we've
14:25
been goofy. I've been, I've been goofy my
14:26
whole life, man. We, we could have been
14:28
comedians, you know, even one of my brothers.
14:31
Shout out to to my brother. I ain't even going to say his
14:37
name, but shout out to my brother.
14:39
He got famous on Vine, YouTube and all that stuff because it's
14:42
comedy, you know, we grew up, you know, from middle school all
14:47
the way to high school, even college.
14:49
We grew up doing these little comedy videos.
14:52
We was actually dancing, brother.
14:54
We was working for T Pain. We was working for Nappy Boy in
14:59
10th and 11th grade, man. So we was like out there
15:03
already. Even when I was in 8th grade, I
15:07
had I had the opportunity to be in step up too.
15:10
OK, I was supposed to be Moose. OK.
15:14
My mom was like, no, no, she was like, no, you're you're not even
15:20
in high school yet because I was in 8th grade.
15:23
We, it was a competition when the contest when they had
15:27
Myspace out. Yeah.
15:28
And I didn't take it serious because I wasn't, I was in
15:32
football. I was a football player,
15:34
football camps. That's all I was doing.
15:36
My cousin was like, you just try it, blah, blah, blah.
15:40
Because we was dancing. We did a talent show in school
15:43
and bro, when I tell you, look, when I tell you the feedback was
15:49
Immaculate. We had everybody running on the
15:52
Flo dancing. We had people coming out to
15:54
bleachers dancing. So we like, probably got
15:58
something right here. Yeah.
16:00
So I didn't take it serious. I sitting in a little dance
16:04
video and everything. And one day I was at school.
16:10
That's back when we had the house phones, you know, and I
16:15
got home and my mom was like some guy Steve something called
16:21
talking about a step up and I said.
16:27
I just that's I see my mom saying it exactly that way too.
16:32
That's like the mom language there something about a step up.
16:36
Yeah, but. And I was like, and me as a kid,
16:40
I'm like, I'm locked in. I'm like, huh, what'd you say?
16:42
And she's like, I told you too young.
16:45
You ain't even like in high school.
16:47
Yeah, You just in 8th grade. You're not going to know LA.
16:51
Me as a kid, me as a kid. I'm melting it.
16:54
It's what I'm like, like the witch out for Wizard of Oz.
16:57
I'm like, no, I melted. And I was just like, you know
17:02
what? Of course I got mad.
17:05
Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.
17:08
Of course, throughout this time, he was like, I could have been
17:11
this, I could have been that. And then the movie comes out and
17:14
you you can clearly see, you know, So I don't know if I would
17:21
have been Moose or not. I don't know what role I would
17:24
have had. But like I said, I do know that
17:30
the director, which was named Steven Sutton, called my Mama.
17:37
That's crazy. And oh man, she was like, you're
17:40
not, he's not even. And, and honestly, to be honest,
17:43
the way this Hollywood stuff is going now, me as an adult, I'm
17:49
like, thank you, mom. Yeah.
17:50
Yeah, exactly. What they would have probably
17:54
look, just to be honest, they would have probably man look.
17:59
I don't know what I would have went through as a kid.
18:01
I was just in 8th grade. God forbid you end up on
18:04
Nickelodeon with what's his face.
18:06
Or Disney. Or Disney.
18:08
Or drugged up somewhere. Drugged up somewhere in the
18:11
backroom and just like, oh, that's it, you know?
18:15
Your mom took good care of you. Saved my life.
18:18
Yeah. So that's why I'm like, you know
18:21
everything. I'm for a reason, You know, I'm
18:23
not even going to get upset. I'm going to connect that
18:26
moment. Let's see.
18:29
But yeah, I could have been in step up.
18:34
I don't think it's working. I don't hang on trip about it.
18:36
If you don't. If you don't.
18:38
Oh, well, we got this one over here.
18:40
Yeah. So, yeah, man.
18:42
So that one like I had, we had clean opportunities.
18:44
We were some talented, some talented fellas, man.
18:47
Honestly, my cousin actually got me into all of this stuff.
18:53
Now I will say they names Apollo, Jayhawk, Kevin Do.
18:59
I'm saying their names because if you look them up, you will
19:02
probably find them because they was already working with Nappa
19:05
Boy. They was already going to the
19:06
studios doing this, doing that, had a song called Peach State
19:11
that they allowed me to be on and that's when I started my
19:15
journey. Because even with that, even
19:19
with that, I was like, I don't, I sound like a little kid on the
19:22
song. I'm like, I don't like it.
19:25
But you know, they got me into that, to be honest.
19:29
And this is the perfect show for it because I can bring it up
19:31
now. I can bring it up because I
19:33
don't even care no more. Yeah.
19:35
When we first started working with them, Tim, great nappy boy.
19:40
Now, we didn't meet T Pain. We didn't like conversation.
19:42
Like we don't. We didn't do that with T Pain.
19:45
But we was working under his DJDJ little boy, his manager
19:51
Black, and then he had an artist up under him named Red Eyes One
19:57
and Two together. She had Red eyes.
19:59
She was always. So we would go in there and they
20:02
would call us the little *** and this and that and all that that
20:05
that we was just intend to level grades.
20:07
Yeah. So we was going in and it was
20:10
one time and it's first time you telling this story.
20:13
That's why I say I don't care no more.
20:15
It's first time you telling this story and I feel like this is
20:17
the perfect show to tell it. It was one time over our fam.
20:22
You homecoming me? Yeah, I'm putting y'all out
20:27
there. Me, Paulo and my cousin Jamie.
20:31
We went down to Tallahassee and went to the studio and they was
20:37
in there doing whatever and they was like, Oh yeah, you know,
20:39
y'all, you know, got show tonight.
20:41
He's going to be at a certain club though, so like whatever,
20:45
you know, we we've been doing it.
20:47
So black, black was like y'all probably going to get some
20:52
masks. I'm like Jabberwockies came out
20:58
around that time. So I'm like mask.
21:01
I'm like OK, whatever. I'm like yeah, it's going to
21:04
make it look better. I'm like we're going to be out
21:05
of. So I'm like we went and got
21:13
these samurai masks we didn't want to copy.
21:16
Yeah. Yeah, of.
21:17
Course. So we went and got a little
21:18
samurai mask and everything. Go back to the studio and you're
21:22
like y'all gonna have to have a routine or something.
21:24
So we sat outside the studio, he created this routine and we like
21:28
within 10 minutes we like all right, boom.
21:30
That's what it went back in the studio, showed them and it was
21:33
like all right, boom, bet yeah y'all have to make sure the mask
21:36
stay on your face though. And I'm like why are y'all
21:40
tripping on these masks so much? So they give us the address and
21:46
the night comes 8:00 PM, whatever the case now, whatever
21:49
the whatever time it was. So we go out and get to the
21:54
club, man. We pulling up at the Darren Club
21:58
and I'm like, I'm like, wait a minute, I'm like, wait a minute.
22:08
I'm seeing too many, too many, too many dudes in Hill.
22:16
I'm like, why are these dudes in here?
22:20
I'm like, wait a minute. I know, I know, I know exactly
22:26
where you're going with this. I'm like, wait a minute.
22:31
So we sitting in the car and everybody like this is a gay
22:35
car. We living like some little kids
22:40
in the car like yo bro, hey, set us up like they set us up.
22:46
So I'm like, you know what? That's why they kept talking
22:49
about you mad, you know? So we probably got to the club
22:54
like 9, you know, people performing.
22:57
They're always late. So we had to sit in the car,
23:00
wait for him to show up. So we sitting in the car,
23:03
everybody took down in the seat, everybody duck down in the seat
23:09
and everything. And so when they finally got
23:11
there, they said Paulo, the master, they got there, come
23:14
meet, meet us at the front door. We'll go ahead and go in and get
23:16
to the back. Go the mask on.
23:22
We like put the thing up and everything.
23:25
We're like everything. The only thing you want to see
23:26
is our eyes. Yep.
23:28
So we get to the front door, we walk in, man, The, the, the
23:33
worst thing about this is we got to the front door.
23:38
The worst thing about these situations is, like I said, it
23:41
was in 10th, 11th grade. The worst thing about these
23:44
situations is when you go to places like this and you start
23:47
seeing people from your school, you're like, wait a minute, I
23:50
didn't know he was wait a minute.
23:52
I didn't know they was. I was like, wait a minute.
23:59
And then but see on the other side of that's like, I don't
24:03
want them to see it. Don't.
24:04
Recognize me like. Wait a minute.
24:07
Face up. So we walked in the front door,
24:09
bro, I'm telling everybody was like if it was a, a, a dance
24:13
routine, everybody had the hand on the shoulder face down just
24:16
like this. And we walked all the way back
24:18
to the VIP. And then when we got to the VIP,
24:24
just like some ants, we ran straight to the corner,
24:27
everybody in the corner with a bat turn facing everybody else
24:30
in the room because we like, I don't want nobody to see it.
24:34
I just saw about 5 people from my high school like I don't want
24:38
nobody to see. So turn around just out of just
24:45
like, all right, let's just like we all all over here hover up in
24:49
the corner. Like all right, let's not, let's
24:51
stop being weird. Turn around.
24:53
We turn around and this 66 dude with something, I'm like, turn
24:58
back around. Like turn back around, turned
25:03
back around. So there got to the point we
25:06
were trying to perform and I'm like, oh boy.
25:10
I'm like, oh boy, at this stage ain't nothing but probably like
25:19
15 feet. And I'm like, how are we going
25:22
to do this routine that we just came up with on this small
25:25
stage? Then with her with red eyes
25:28
performing in the front, we only got a smaller section of the of
25:33
the stage man that we start performing and Jamie got there
25:43
and Jamie Mash falls off Jamie Mash falls off.
25:51
So all right, boy, you don't know me.
25:53
I don't know you either. You've been.
25:56
We met tonight. You better tell nobody.
26:00
I'm like, well, look, so that was, that was one of our, you
26:05

26:15
days. I ain't going to take up too
26:17

27:14
about. But I can I can go back to
27:17
middle school all the way up to now and I got stories right to a
27:23
point where I was like 11. One later was like, you should
27:26
definitely make a YouTube. Just just saying just tell us
27:31
stories. Even if it ain't true, you have
27:34
a way to break down these stories to make people
27:36
intrigued. So that's when I was like, you
27:39
know what? Let me start telling what
27:41
happened to me more often. Yeah, that I'm like, you know
27:43
what? Turn into a testimony.
27:45
There you go. So.
27:47
There you go. Yeah, I was.
27:48
I was sold on the opening story that you were just riffing on,
27:52
you know, like I was. I was invested in the old folks.
27:55
Home, old folks. Home, man.
27:56
I'm telling you, Pam, don't mess with Pam.
28:00
No, Pam and the man. Look, I'm telling you, man,
28:04
look, you'd be surprised. Old folks be gangsters, man.
28:08
They just older gangsters. They don't want to start the
28:11
game banging. They want to start the game
28:14
banging. Pass it on to the nephews and
28:17
grandsons and and and granddaughters.
28:21
And then and and it just keeps. Going down, going down, the
28:25
great, great, great grandson is is the head of prior.
28:29
Let me stop. Is the head of prior rule.
28:33
But yeah, man, man, I appreciate you, brother.
28:36
Yeah. What's that, man?
28:37
What's that? It's crazy like I, I, I think it
28:40
was a couple episodes ago we were talking about music from
28:45
2007 and was like, hey, mix tape, you know, give me a 10,
28:50
your top ten and T pain was obviously mentioned because.
28:57
It's almost like the hometown almost in a way.
28:59
I mean, we from Florida, Tallahassee, FL, we from
29:02
Georgia, right on that borderline, you got Bainbridge,
29:05
Attapugus, Cairo, Thomasville, Albany, you know, even call
29:10
quit, you know, and right down that line, literally right here.
29:14
So all you got to do is drive 4 to 5 minutes and you're in
29:16
Florida. So that way every time we wanted
29:19
to do something, every time it was like time for school
29:21
shopping. Everybody's in Tallahassee
29:24
because ain't nothing in Bainbridge, you know, ain't
29:26
nothing in Bainbridge. The only thing we got is a belt
29:30
McDonald's and a Walmart. Now, then it came up, don't get
29:34
me wrong. Now since I've left, which is
29:36
2011, they don't came up. You know, they got little areas
29:41
where they knock down majority of the trees.
29:44
They don't build, you know, the Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, we have
29:48
none of that. We even have Burger King.
29:50
When I was growing up, all we had was McDonald's, Wendy's, we
29:54
even had Walmart. We had Kmart, Food Lion and and
30:03
in a Dairy Queen in a in a little small little fried
30:06
chicken place. See now they don't came up.
30:09
Now I'm like, hey, see, that's good, that's good.
30:11
Though that sounds identical to the town I graduated high school
30:15
from. Like, I mean, it wasn't even a,
30:19
a, a Kmart. Like I don't remember what they
30:21
it was. It was some like mini version of
30:24
Kmart, you know. And then we had, we had
30:28
Hardee's. Hardee's yeah, yeah, we had.
30:30
Mickey D's, We had a Casey's gas station, which for those of you
30:35
that don't know what a Casey's is, think of a 711 meeting a a
30:41
Wawa in the the food prep. So they they have like an actual
30:45
food prep area. They do pizza and stuff, but the
30:49
food is all 711 food, basically. Like it's, it's very similar to
30:53
that. Pizza's better than 711 in my
30:55
opinion, but it's not as classy as Wawa.
30:58
It's it's like a backwoods Wawa, basically.
31:01
Yeah, yeah. That's still.
31:03
Yeah, so there's that. There was a couple other gas
31:05
stations, but everything, everything closed down by 10.
31:09
O'clock 10:00 was if they if they stayed open till 10.
31:13
That was a late night open. They probably got something
31:15
going on, everybody coming through at a certain time.
31:17
It was the talk of the town when the Caseys decided to change to
31:21
a 24 hour gas station that was the only thing open past 10:00
31:27
at. Night.
31:28
Everybody is probably dead. Oh yeah, we went.
31:31
We went because I worked in a pizza shop up there.
31:35
It was little square, like, I mean, the town is 4000 people if
31:39
that, you know, tiny little town in central Illinois.
31:42
And I worked in the pizza shop on the square.
31:45
They had a square with the the County Courthouse, county seat.
31:51
Me and my buddy, we would get off work and there ain't nothing
31:56
to do, you know, So we're like, all right, let's go drive.
32:00
So we would just drive around, go out to the country, go out to
32:03
the lake, you know, just drive around listening to dubstep
32:07
music and all this. We there was one song in
32:11
particular. It was a Ludacris is how low
32:15
mashed up with a dubstep or an electronic song, Cloud low.
32:20
We would blast that thing and wrap it and do all this stuff.
32:24
And then right around that 1:00 AM mark, we're like, OK, we got
32:27
to head back into town because at 1:30 is when Casey's throws
32:33
out all their old food. And we'd slide in.
32:37
We knew, we knew the two people that would be working there at
32:40
that time. And they would, they would be
32:42
like here, Yep, you know, and we would get free food at 1:00 AM.
32:45
Man, what I guess that's, that's the that'll be the the
32:50
destination when you leave and stuff.
32:52
I'm like, hey, we're going straight to the gas store.
32:55
Going straight to the gas store. We ain't got to buy nothing, get
32:58
drinks and everything. Yep.
33:00
Oh, you see that isn't it? It's a it's a spot out here.
33:03
I don't know what it's called. I don't know if it's called
33:05
Bucky's, but it's a gas store. Like if you're going out of, if
33:09
you're going back towards Georgia, I want to say it's
33:13
called Bucky's. But it's a big, big.
33:16
Gas. Store.
33:17
There's one in Calhoun. There's one in Daytona up there,
33:22
95 meets LGPLPGA. Yeah, Blvd., OK.
33:27
OK. Yeah, that big gas station with
33:29
a 1000 gas. Pumps and yeah, yeah, yeah, like
33:33
a whole mall. Yeah, I'm like Jesus, well, who
33:36
owned this gas, though? Because that was a good idea.
33:40
Whoever thought about this one? But they making bank.
33:43
Hey, everything's bigger in Texas.
33:45
That's a Texas chain there, man. What?
33:48
We have to go to Texas now. Yeah, the.
33:51
My wife got family in Houston TX OK and I definitely want to go
33:56

34:00
my one of my homies that I graduated college with got
34:07
family in Houston TX. Then my cousin used to live and
34:13
I want to say it was Dallas. I want to say it was Dallas, TX,
34:17
but we definitely got to go to Houston just for the food.
34:21
The food and just the guy, you know, just seeing the atmosphere
34:24
and stuff like that, you know what I'm saying?
34:26
My brother lived in Orange, which is just outside of of
34:29
Houston for a little bit and from my understanding he enjoyed
34:35
it. He thought it was cool vibe and
34:37
everything. He's back in Chicago now.
34:40
But yeah, I'd. I want to go to Houston.

35:30
I don't know why. I don't know why we want to go
35:33
to Salt Lake City. I just, I think he's just so
35:35
random. And then the mountains and stuff
35:37
like that, the scenery. But we definitely got to go to
35:40
Salt Lake City as well, man. But definitely Denver, Co,
35:44
definitely. Colorado Denver is beautiful.
35:46
Yeah. Oh my gosh, mountains are crazy.
35:49
You. Can't take a picture with it.
35:50
You can't take a picture. You got to see with your own
35:51
eyes. And that's how I was even in LA,
35:54
you know, funny story, we went to LA and it was around the
36:03
time. Let me see if if he's on.
36:15
Yeah, I'm not telling this story.
36:17
We was in LA, so we went to LA and I was talking to the dude
36:24
that went to LA with us, and LA is pretty cool.
36:28
We went for a fashion show and we got a chance to kind of go
36:32
around Bel Air. We got a chance to just to go
36:35
see the stars and go visit Capitol Records and all that
36:40
stuff like that. Yeah, it's definitely over.
36:51
What's the word? It's over.
36:53
It's like it's not what you expect.
36:55
It's not what you expect at all. Yeah, you go and see them stars.
36:59
And when they on TV, you know, they had a cameraman, they had a
37:02
celebrity sitting there like, oh, and everything looks clean,
37:06
man. You go out there on a regular
37:07
day, you got weed, man, standing on Michael Jackson selling weed,
37:12
you know, and, and and then you got the IT people it you got
37:20
screen people that dress up as these scare moves that's out
37:24
there on a daily just entertaining people.
37:26
OK, I get it, you know, but we went, we was walking and like I
37:33
said, we got to a point where my wife wanted to see at least the
37:37
Michael Jackson star got to the Michael Jackson star and I lots
37:43
of you not dude, standing on the star.
37:46
It's like that was his that was his milestone.
37:48
That was his family at Michael Jackson.
37:51
That that what it it. That's the energy that I
37:54
reciputated from him because he was literally standing on the
37:58
star. And then we walked up to the
37:59
star and it was two older women behind us trying to take a
38:04
picture of the star. So when we walked up that was
38:09
the same day we got there so it was probably like seven O 8 that
38:13
night PM and when we walked up I'm like OK I see what's going
38:18
on I see what he doing. They just keep walking and it's
38:20
like we just got here you know what I'm saying?
38:24
And the 2 ladies behind us start complaining about we trying to
38:30
take a picture of the star. It's like you standing on the
38:32
star, move out the way and the dude look back and I was like
38:38
pretty much saying take your picture.
38:43
If you going to take the picture, keep it moving.
38:45
Yeah, I'm like, yeah, it's time to go.
38:47
I'm like, yeah, it's time to go. We just got here.
38:50
I'm not trying to get in the middle.
38:52
No crossfire, no trouble. We literally just got here to
38:56
today. Get back to the hotel, brother.
38:59
Why do we see that? It was a shooting on that same
39:03
St. Oh my gosh, yeah, you had the
39:06
right idea. We got back to the hotel
39:11
probably an hour and a half later, turned on because, you
39:14
know, hotels ain't got nothing to watch.
39:16
Yeah, you always turn on the local news the next.
39:19
Day though, we see a shooting out on such and such Ave.
39:23
I'm like Capitol Records in that's in the background.
39:26
I took a picture in front of the building.
39:29
I'm like, wait a minute, we was just right.
39:31
There, right there, yeah. Just right there.
39:33
So I'm like, you know what? No.
39:36
So then we went to Bel Air the next day, me, my boy Nigel, you
39:46
know, we had another guy riding with us because he was there.
39:50
He was in the military, so he kind of knew around, you know,
39:54
his name was Dwayne. My wife, Me and my wife, so it
39:58
was just four of us and we went to Bel Air just to kind of look
40:03
around and everything, take pictures and whatnot.
40:05
Just like, you know, we've never been here before.
40:07
It is, I don't know who's going to come back.
40:09
So I'm like, and we get started walking around and then we get
40:16
to 1 got to the store. As we walk in the store,
40:22
brother, the dude, like, all right, so you got the counter
40:26
right here. And then behind the counter, it
40:29
was like this glass. And you can look at the glass
40:32
and tell it was bulletproof. Yeah, it was like this glass
40:36
room, man. I do.
40:38
When we walked in, that dude took off running and rant in
40:40
that backroom. And we're just standing at the
40:42
glass looking at us. And I'm like, why you do that?
40:47
I'm like, why? I'm like, why you?
40:50
Why you acting like I'm like, anyway, so we started looking at
40:54
art because it was like an art gallery.
40:55
So we started looking around at the stuff and after a while, he
41:00
eventually walked from behind there.
41:03
And so I introduced myself because I'm like, if I if
41:06
anyway, if I go in the room and if it's people there, I'm
41:09
speaking to everybody in the room.
41:10
That's just my personality, you know, I'm not going to go in the
41:13
room and I, you know. So eventually he walked back out
41:19
and and I'm like, hey, you know, how you doing?
41:22
Blah blah, blah. You know, I'm a graphic designer
41:24
search from Florida. We just came over for a fashion
41:27
show. So we just kind of looking
41:28
around and he was like, oh, y'all need to be careful over
41:31
here in Bel Air because, you know, I didn't mean no harm when
41:35
I because I didn't. I just didn't know.
41:37
Yeah, yeah, like I just didn't know.
41:40
But we have people come to Bel Air just to rob people because
41:46
they know this is the high class section of and they come over
41:51
here and they sit and then they rob people when they buy stuff,
41:54
they walk out with bags, they sit there and rob them.
41:57
So I'm like, do tell. I'm like back to the hotel.
42:02
I'm like back to the hotel. So we ended up talking to him
42:06
for a little minute and then when he told, like I said, when
42:08
he told us that we're like. We're going to protect
42:13
ourselves. Yeah.
42:16
So then, you know, the next day came, we went out, met the
42:20
models, did the show, was at the, you know, at the place
42:23
where the Lakers playing and all that stuff.
42:25
So we was taking it all in and Dwayne, Dwayne driving and it's
42:32
probably like 638. I remember because I'm like, I'm
42:36
always, it's like 6:38 PM So over there it was like getting
42:42
dark. He's like, y'all want to ride
42:46
through Compton? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
42:50
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
42:52
I do not want to ride through Compton.
42:54
It's about to be 7:00 PM. I'm like no, no, no.
42:58
Even if it was 7, AMI don't want to ride through Compton.
43:02
I'm not that curious. I'm not that curious.
43:04
I'm not no, because we going to mess around.
43:07
I don't seen the movies. I seen the movies.
43:10
You going to be at the stoplight and you going to mess around and
43:13
look and you going to make eye contact with somebody and that's
43:17
going to be it. And I'm like, after that, no.
43:20
So I'm like, Nope. Back to the hotel.
43:23
Back to the hotel. You know, so we had a good
43:26
little time in, in LA, man. And we went to Venice Beach,
43:31
shot a music video out there. Hell yeah.
43:33
Because we went out there and we were just like, you know, we
43:37
just going to walk around and whatnot.
43:38
But man, when you go out there to Venice Beach is is going look
43:45
from the paintings to the atmosphere, to the people, to
43:50
the skateboarders, to the skaters, to the basketball
43:54
players, you're going to find something to get involved with.
43:58
And that's what we ended up doing, bro.
43:59
We went out there just to walk around and next thing you know,
44:02
we was over here on the skate park talking to people, doing
44:05
little videos and stuff like that.
44:06
And they say, you know, we was over here at the painters thing.
44:10
I got me a little LeBron James and a Kobe Bryant painting and,
44:15
and, you know, we messed around and went to this dispensary.
44:21
OK. And the girls like, yeah, don't
44:26
drink all of that because it's gone, you know, it's pretty
44:29
potent. I'm like like, what are you
44:34
talking about? I'm like potent, pretty potent.
44:37
You know, you talking to man? Look, we shared that we drunk,
44:44
we drunk it and we shared it because I was going to drink
44:46
about myself. My wife was like, no, like no.
44:51
And so me, her and my boy Nigel ended up sharing Nigel.
44:55
He got a couple hits off it, but me and my wife, we was mostly
44:58
the ones. So by the time we, you know, we
45:01
didn't feel nothing. And yeah, you know, me, I, I'm
45:04
like, I don't feel that. I don't feel.
45:06
That's the danger, though. That's the danger right there.
45:10
Man, we got in that car and we got on that highway going back
45:14
to the hotel and we ended up getting stuck in traffic next
45:21
there, you know? But I was like, I was like, what
45:29
are you, mountains? Pretty high.
45:32
I don't like even my husband. Well, like we all back there
45:35
just it all kicking it. It's just kicking it and I can
45:37
see even even in my wife and even in Nigel eyes and start
45:40
kicking it. But we started on for some
45:43
reason, Nigel, I don't know why we was talking about Angelina
45:46
Jolie. We started talking about
45:48
Angelina Jolie and all of this stuff.
45:50
It was just like you guys started kicking.
45:52
I feel it. I.
45:53
Can feel it. I can literally feel it, like
45:56
somebody walking up behind me and just putting their hand on
45:58
my shoulder and it's like. We're going to go on a journey.
46:07
So that stuff out there in Cali is is is, yeah, legit.
46:12
It's legit. Do not when somebody tell you
46:15
don't drink the whole thing, do not drink the whole thing unless
46:18
you just ready for that that trip, you know, but you should
46:22
definitely go brother. I know that was, I know that was
46:24
a long story, but but what that the conclusion of that story is
46:28
go take your visit, go on vacation, but don't get too
46:34
curious. And fair enough.
46:36
Do not get too curious certain hours of the day.
46:40
Be somewhat secure because like I said, we went back to the
46:45
hotel. We played it safe.
46:46
I didn't. I didn't, I didn't even want to
46:47
be curious because like I said, that was my first time over
46:51
there. I didn't know, you know, I
46:53
didn't heard all this music about wrong colors.
46:55
I wore all white. Yeah.
46:57
For five days, even white socks, even white shoes, I wore all
47:03
white. Five days straight.
47:05
I'm like I I'm. Not going to mess nobody.
47:08
You already might have nobody covered at me like that blue
47:11
shirt or that red shirt or the red socks or the red shoes.
47:16
I'm like Nope, Nope, Nope. Everything all white from the
47:18
shoes to the socks to the pants to the shirt, everything.
47:22
I'm not even wearing nothing on my head.
47:24
I'm not going to wear nothing on my head.
47:26
I don't want nobody to get nothing confused.
47:29
I'm trying to make it back to Florida now.
47:32
The other part of this story is I don't know if you know who
47:35
Nipsey Hussle is, but we went out and Nipsey Hussle is.
47:39
He looks just like Snoop Dogg, OK, Just like Snoop Dogg.
47:43
If you do research, you type in Nipsey Hussle, you will be like,
47:45
is this Snoop Dogg? Nipsey Hussle was one of the
47:49
guys that sold his mixtapes for $100 and was successful doing
47:55
it. That's how he got big.
47:57
Fair enough. Other than his clothing line,
48:00
his brand and his smart business moves, that's how he got big.
48:06
Nipsey Hussle is somebody that was in Compton.
48:11
He was, you know, he was a crip and everything like that.
48:14
Unfortunately, his home, his own homeboy executed him.
48:21
You know when I say execute, I had to find the right word cause
48:25
at that point that wasn't even killing.
48:27
That was execute, execute. And he had his own store in the
48:35
hood. He didn't want to leave his hood
48:39
and he ended up dying. We went and saw him, not him,
48:46
but we went and saw. So what they did was they closed
48:48
off that whole store and his brand was the Marathon.
48:55
So they would have these, you know, these pop up shops lined
48:59
up on the street just because he made that area so popular.
49:03
So they got to the point where they just let people come and
49:06
just look at it, take pictures. Yeah.
49:08
So we went out there and they, like I said, they got all these
49:11
pop up tents and stuff like that.
49:14
Brother, we went out there. First of all, we parked down the
49:22
street and we walked up to it. The first tent you walk up to
49:28
you, you would think it's Nipsey Hussle.
49:31
I'm like, I thought he was dead. Like that's is that Nipsey
49:36
Hussle that got to be this man brother.
49:38
They got to be that man cousin. Because when I tell you he had
49:40
the same braids, he had the same beard, he had the same skin
49:44
color, the same head shape, the same personality, the same aura.
49:49
I'm like, this got to be this man cousin.
49:51
Yeah, or something. So as you walking up to this
49:55
thing they got if we start from here, they got tents all the way
50:00
down. You have to walk through the
50:03
first one. You walk through Crips.
50:05
When you walk through the first one, it's either you walk
50:07
through or you just leave. So we being from Georgia and
50:12
Florida, we like we walking through.
50:14
Yeah, we we walk through, we come all the way out here for no
50:17
reason. Me and my wife Nigel, Dwayne, we
50:22
walk through the first one. What's up?
50:25
Cuz I'm like. I'm like choose my words
50:34
carefully or not. So you know, you know, we go, we
50:42
go. We got, I told I was like I
50:44
said, joy. I said I ain't got nothing on me
50:45
right now. I got to go to the ATM down
50:47
here. We just going to walk through
50:48
and when we come back, I'm gonna buy, I'm gonna buy something off
50:51
the table, all right? You know what I'm saying?
50:55
I'm like got through the first one.
51:00
That's one got through the first one.
51:04
Get to the the next table. They got animals everywhere.
51:09
That's one thing about Khaled bro.
51:12
Every table had a jar. That's high trees.
51:16
Not hiding it, not ashamed of it, Nothing.
51:20
Right in the middle of the table.
51:21
I'm telling John about this big, this wide.
51:25
Just trees. Yeah.
51:30
So, you know, you had little Skittles and little Starbursts
51:33
and everything. We tried the Skittles.
51:35
We got the Skittles from this guy.
51:38
Got that. And then we kept walking.
51:40
Now it was one tent down here that had some clothes and I was
51:45
like but I still I ain't got no money.
51:47
I got to go to the ATM. He was like alright bet I'll
51:49
take you over there. I looked at my wife and I'm
51:52
like, so he started walking with us and I'm like, I'm like.
52:03
No walking with us all the time. I'm like, why?
52:06
And so he started leading us to the gas stove.
52:09
So I'm like, I'm like I'm in my head.
52:14
I'm like I'm about to have to fight.
52:18
I got my wife right here and then this dude talking about he
52:22
taking us to the ATM. We going to this gas stove.
52:26
I'm like we hit this corner. I'm like we hit this corner.
52:30
I hope they come up here and see have something going on to help
52:33
us out. I'm like, so thank God he
52:37
actually did take us to the ATM, but boy, my heart was in my
52:40
ankles the whole time. Yeah, you see what I'm saying?
52:42
Because we was following him and I'm like, where is he going?
52:47
I'm like, where is he going? And so he took us to the ATM.
52:51
He he sat outside. He stood outside while we was
52:53
inside. So that kind of gave me a little
52:56
piece. Yeah.
52:57
Got ATM, went back to the tent, got something from him.
53:00
And we walked back. We was walking back, back
53:04
through the tents as we was walking back through the 10th.
53:07
We went in and out, back to the first one.
53:11
What's the cause? Yeah, like Jay-Z means like, so
53:20
I was like, yeah, man, blah, blah, blah.
53:24
And you can clearly know, You can tell he was a crew.
53:28
So he had black just like what you got right here on this side
53:31
of the table, he had blue hats. On this side, he had black hats.
53:36
He's like, yo, man, I got this. So, so such.
53:38
And I'm like, give me the black one.
53:42
Yeah, give me the black one. Neutral.
53:45
Give me the black 1. You know, you wanted it out.
53:47
I just give it a Black Hat. I'm good on the Black Hat.
53:50
Give it a Black Hat. Crenshaw hat.
53:52
I'm like, boom, perfect, blah, blah, blah.
53:54
Now behind us. Oh, boy, I don't know what boy
54:01
Nigel went and bought, but I know for a fact that Nigel can
54:05
correct me if you're on the live.
54:08
But after we left his tent, he kept the boy Nigel over there
54:12
for a little minute. So we walked off to the car and
54:17
I was like dog like Nigel still still over Nigel still over here
54:22
talk. I'm like, let me turn around and
54:24
go back to make sure. Yeah, to make sure everything
54:27
good. But like I said, man, dude,
54:30
dudes is real respectful. They was you know, and The thing
54:35
is, I think where we went and write it is we didn't go over
54:39
there on some hot boy or some I'm this guy, I'm I'm fame, I'm
54:44
this guy on the Internet that do access.
54:47
He asked me specifically. Well, like I said, we went back
54:50
to his table. He said where y'all from?
54:54
And boy, I looked at my wife. I was like, go, all right, here
54:58
it goes. I know from Kendrick Lamar songs
55:02
and from Snoop Dogg songs that when somebody over there and
55:05
that's in a gang, actually, where you from?
55:08
They checking you? That's a check.
55:09
They checking you. Let me see what the energy.
55:12
Let me see if you get an attitude because I asked him
55:13
where you from? Let me see if he say the wrong
55:15
sick. I like bruh, in my head, I it
55:19
was like the whole world paused. Yeah, and I just went through
55:23
there like this curriculum in my head, you know, math problems.
55:26
I'm like if I say this. The numbers are floating around,
55:30
yeah. Yeah, I promise you, bro, I'm
55:32
like, if I say this, then he might.
55:35
If I say I'm like, I'm like, bro, be honest with you.
55:42
I say, man, look, I'm from Georgia.
55:44
I came down here just to show my respect and love for Nipsey.
55:49
You know what I'm saying? Be honest.
55:51
Nipsey is the reason why I even started making clothes.
55:54
You know what I'm saying? I was listening to Nipsey when
55:56
he was first starting out with him in the game and that's
56:00
Slauson and pretty much is humble.
56:04
You see what I'm saying? He's like that's what's up
56:07
that's what's up. One thing I can tell you is keep
56:09
going man. A lot of people ain't going
56:11
ain't going to keep going. They're going to give up when
56:13
when, when life start hitting, but man, you keep going when
56:17
life start hitting. It's just giving you something
56:19
to rap about cuz you know said said said said said.
56:22
But. That's true.
56:24
That's so true. And.
56:26
But but my heart was like of course, because I was like when
56:30
he asked me where I'm from, like.
56:34
You don't want to say the wrong thing.
56:35
You know, so that's why you. Don't want to give the wrong
56:38
vibe. You sit there like to be honest,
56:42
brother, I'm from Georgia, man. I ain't a lot to you.
56:44
I'm like, I ain't a lot to you. I'm from Georgia, bro.
56:46
I just came over here to show some, some some respect and love
56:49
me. And I'm just, I'm just this
56:52
upcoming rapper. I'm not here trying to make it,
56:54
man, You know what I'm saying? And I think that's what they
56:56
respected about that. You know what I'm saying?
56:58
I didn't go over there and be like, oh, I'm this guy.
57:01
I'm this, I'm hot over here and this and I'm coming over here to
57:04
spread my now I was on something like that.
57:07
And he would be like, OK, yeah, all right, bet, bet y'all slide
57:11
back through, you know, slide back through.
57:14
And that would have probably been it.
57:15
You know what I'm saying? So then I'm like, I don't even
57:18
down here in Florida, I don't try to come off as I'm this
57:22
person. I'm this, I'm like, look, if I
57:24
can look like I ain't got it, then I'm look like I ain't got
57:27
it. Because once I start talking and
57:30
once we start working and doing work and all this, my work talk
57:34
for itself works before itself. So that's usually what I'm on.
57:38
I'm like, I ain't got to really brag about who I am.
57:40
I ain't got to brag about what I did or what I do is a good
57:44
story. I like to tell the stories.
57:46
Yeah. But you know, I, I'm like, like,
57:49
you know, even when you first met, I was like, I'm a graphic
57:50
design. I'm this and that Yeah, I do
57:53
pest control. I don't like, hey, eventually
57:56
you will come across like this conversation like this, they
57:59
happen. Eventually we'll come across and
58:01
we'll be able to share what we do, what we did.
58:04
But I'm like always just like, look, I do pest control.
58:09
Oh, I do pest control dancing around that office.
58:12
I'm like, I do pest control. I don't know what you're.
58:13
Talking about. I play dumb.
58:16
I play dumb on purpose because I don't want people to assume
58:22
anything and not necessarily assume anything, but you know,
58:27
most of the time what they be looking for, they be looking for
58:30
people that want a career and all that stuff like that.
58:33
And I'm like in my head, I'm like 2-3 years.
58:37
Well, nowadays there's no company that's a true career
58:41
company really. So like your career is going to
58:45
be hopping anymore because they don't, they don't want to make
58:49
the career out of you. They want you to make the career
58:52
career out of them. And they don't want to benefit
58:55
you any. They want you to benefit them,
58:57
benefit them. So.
58:59
Yeah, right. It's.
58:59
Not at this point, it's not. You got to make sure you find
59:02
something for you. Now.
59:03
I'm still dealing with them. I'm still dealing with him, you
59:07
know, just because but a lot of times since you since you've
59:17
left, brother, I don't put my foot down John and put his foot
59:23
down Eric. It was one time Eric even went
59:26
off on Steve and I was like, I went home and showed my wife.
59:29
I was like, I was like, so it's like, you gotta find you
59:37
something that's for you. Yeah.
59:39
Find you something that's gonna benefit you in the future
59:43
because you will be putting all this work in for people and
59:49
which leads to the next. But I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna
59:52
take over the mic. I'm just telling my story.
59:55
But I'm gonna say this. You'll be doing all this work
59:59
and help for people as you know what we do.
1:00:01
Yeah. And then pull a gun on you.
1:00:07
Pull a gun on you, loaded and everything, just because you're
1:00:13
not the color that they expected you to be.
1:00:18
Yeah, that's what happened. I went and picked up Kevin
1:00:23
Schiff on a Saturday and went and did one of his trap checks,
1:00:28
went to the house and and and I ain't going to say the city, but
1:00:32
it's one of the DS because I don't want to like it seem like
1:00:36
I'm saying too much and knocked on the front door.
1:00:40
The way the front door was set up is the way the portrait set
1:00:43
up is. You couldn't stand in front of
1:00:45
the door. You had to knock on and stand
1:00:47
kind of on the side of it. Yeah, so it looked like this 20
1:00:52
year old girl came to the door and I'm like hey, good morning.
1:00:57
You know, I'm Cliff just came out to do your trap check.
1:00:59
I know y'all usually get Kevin, but he ain't working today.
1:01:01
So I picked up this, you know, picked up and stop.
1:01:04
She was like, hold on one second.
1:01:06
So she went in, came back out was like, all right, you can
1:01:09
come in. All right, cool.
1:01:10
So you know, as we all we put let's shoe covers on and
1:01:13
everything walk in and the brother's sitting just like just
1:01:18
like we've set up right here. Just like we said, I walked in
1:01:22
the front door and the brother's sitting over here in the
1:01:24
hallway. But the way he looking at me, he
1:01:27
literally looking at me like and I'm like, hey, what's up
1:01:33
brother? How you doing?
1:01:33
You know I'm clear. We just come and take the traps
1:01:35

1:01:37

1:01:39

1:01:47
Whatever. I'm like dog, what's 8 in the
1:01:49
morning? He just woke up.
1:01:51
He pulled that thing from right here and was like, you wait

1:02:04
Good. I'm like, is he good?
1:02:06

1:02:08
So by the time she even registered what was going on,
1:02:12

1:02:47

1:02:49
funny about it. I was like, you remember the
1:02:51
movie Friday when Pops walked in on Craig and he had a gun and he
1:02:54
was like thank you to. I was like, bro, that's why we
1:02:58
get killed right there. I said, look, I didn't break in
1:03:00
your house. I said my truck is right here in
1:03:03
front of your front door. I said I got a whole uniform on.
1:03:06
I said here's my license. I put it on the on the couch.
1:03:09
So here's my license. I said here's the appointment.
1:03:12
I said y'all should have got a notification that I was coming.
1:03:15
They sent a picture of myself. I asked the mom.
1:03:18
I was like did y'all get a notification or like because I
1:03:20
know lately nobody been getting anything and I asked did you get
1:03:24

1:03:26
You got notifications? I'm like bro.
1:03:30
Everything, everything here is. Pointed you see what I'm saying?
1:03:32
I'm like bro. And he and I could tell he felt
1:03:36
so bad because I like I said, I was going to do a trap check and
1:03:38
they had traps around the whole kitchen.
1:03:40
So he was out there moving, moving everything for me to
1:03:43
talk. So I could tell after that he
1:03:45
felt bad. But still, I'm like, that's why
1:03:49
so many of us be getting killed. All of that music, all that trap
1:03:53
music, all that gangster music of, oh, shoot first, ask
1:03:56
question last. That's why we be getting killed,
1:03:58
right? Yeah.
1:03:59
You know, now he told me about this, this video where he's seen
1:04:03
these UPS guys, these fake UPS guys.
1:04:07
They dress up as they work for UPS and they come and they
1:04:10
robbed people. Yeah.
1:04:11
So I was like, I get it. But brother, I'm like my
1:04:15
brother, come on, man. I said you got an e-mail that I
1:04:18
was coming. My face is on the e-mail.
1:04:21
My license. I'm like, I got a truck, but I
1:04:25
got an Oregon truck. I'm like, by the way, when I
1:04:27
robbed Orkin and like, so after that I could tell he felt like
1:04:32
and I'm like, yeah, bro, it's you know, it's all good.
1:04:35
I ain't even going to trip about it.
1:04:37
Bro, I understand you here with your with your sister and your
1:04:40
Mama. I get it bro, it's no excuse me
1:04:44
that trigger happy you insecure you insecure because back we
1:04:50
grew up. I'm a 90s baby.
1:04:52
I you know born in 92. We fight, we use hands.
1:04:58
If you get beat down pretty bad, OK, the next resort is if he big
1:05:03
enough, if he too big or if it's too many of them all right, now
1:05:06
you go and get the weapon because you need it.
1:05:09
But if it's just one-on-one, we fighting.
1:05:11
If I get beat down, I get beat down.
1:05:14
Nowadays they just so quick done.
1:05:18
Oh, you got oh, oh, you bumped my shoulder.
1:05:21
Oh, you cut me off in traffic. It's like, bro, come on, let's
1:05:25
not be so trigger happy. You see what I'm saying?
1:05:28
So I'm like, bro, we that's one story.
1:05:33
But see, like I said, I ain't trying to take over the mic,
1:05:35
brother, this is your show. But I just wanted to tell that,
1:05:39
you know, getting them stories, though, man.
1:05:41
Yeah, yeah. The purpose is and we will
1:05:43
absolutely have you back on. I have no doubt about that.
1:05:47
We gotta have it when Amber and Justin are not gone, you know,
1:05:53
and we'll come back. We'll come back over and make
1:05:54
sure we get everybody in, you know, get about everybody
1:05:57
involved and everything. Absolutely have a good look,
1:05:59
conversation and everything. And hopefully we'll have the
1:06:02
video version of the podcast rolling too, so we can actually
1:06:06
do some of that stuff. The thing is, I don't know if
1:06:09
y'all know, but this guy, this guy, this guy is a pretty
1:06:19
talented photographer. This man has showed me some of
1:06:23
his work. If you need some work done, if
1:06:28
you need some work done, this guy is a pretty talented
1:06:33
photographer, videographer, editor, everything, all of that
1:06:37
with the multimedia. This is you got shout out to him
1:06:41
and it's another guy named Brian Garces that that I've been
1:06:44
working with for a long time with the Garcias bro.
1:06:48
So shout out to y'all too, brother, because I'm telling you
1:06:51
that stuff, man. Look, that stuff, I went to
1:06:53
college for it as well. So that's why I always give
1:06:56
people credit where credit is due because I know the time that
1:07:01
goes behind editing a video. Yeah.
1:07:05
And honestly, that's why I stopped doing videos because I
1:07:08
got tired of editing everything. I just stopped doing it because
1:07:11
I just got tired of editing everything, man.
1:07:13
And I'm just like, you know what, You know, that's we
1:07:16
getting paid to edit videos. I'm like, that's what we gonna
1:07:18
leave it at. I'm not like we gonna do a
1:07:20
video. I'm just do a video and throw it
1:07:22
online somewhere, you know? Hey, that's, that's the style
1:07:25
that's real popular nowadays. It's called the the grandpa
1:07:28
vlog, I think is what it's called nowadays.
1:07:31
Yeah. And and all it is is just throw
1:07:33
the the recording on and then just throw up the raw video
1:07:37
file. No editing needed.
1:07:38
Yeah, that's that, that Sam Cedar, the the big jacked.
1:07:46
Yeah, roid dude. Oh yeah.
1:07:48
In the gym, you know that those are his vlogs.
1:07:51
You know, he'll sit there and talk for an hour and he'll just
1:07:54
literally go through the video of him driving to the gym and
1:07:57
he's just talking the entire time, walking through the
1:07:59
there's no editing, there's no cuts, there's nothing.
1:08:03
It's just him. Talking.
1:08:04
That's what people want to see, man.
1:08:06
And that's why I stopped editing so much, even on my little
1:08:10
photos and videos. I'm just like, people want to
1:08:12
see the good and the bad. People want to see you mess up.
1:08:17
People want to see that that that that food is before you
1:08:21
touch it and edit it. They want to see that raw, you
1:08:23
know, the raw material and stuff like that nowadays.
1:08:26
So yeah, I think you know. My style is very light like with
1:08:31
photo, it depends on the, the vibe of the photo.
1:08:34
Like sometime I'm, I'm very much a, a contrasty person.
1:08:38
So I like, I like the, the dark darks and the light lights, you
1:08:42
know, the, the contrast between that.
1:08:45
I, I, I really enjoy that. So give me, you know, kind of a
1:08:49
more darker image overall. Yeah, but it, it tells a little
1:08:53
bit different of a story in my opinion.
1:08:56
But I've I've moved into the the light editing and video like I
1:09:01
don't need to do a whole too. Much too much.
1:09:03
And and it'll still get the story out, yeah.
1:09:06
So simple and sweet, man. Yeah, simple and sweet sometimes
1:09:09
to do the trick, man. That's all.
1:09:11
People who want to see you do too much.
1:09:13
You start seeing the, you know, I always say you don't want to
1:09:17
put too much edit on it to a point where you pull up the face
1:09:20
and you zoom in and you start seeing the pixels and stuff.
1:09:24
Like, all right, at that point, you don't get too much.
1:09:26
Let's double back. Let's relax A.
1:09:28
Little bit you don't. Need to do too much like yeah
1:09:32
and and I shoot for the edit too.
1:09:34
So my my idea is I am I, I try to be as efficient as possible
1:09:40
filming because at the end of the day, I don't want to spend
1:09:43
that extra time trying to cut down video and this and that.
1:09:47
Sometimes the longer video works better, but I don't want to
1:09:50
spend too much time finding the right points, you know, like.
1:09:54
Yeah, yeah. And sometimes I say sometimes
1:09:56
when you just do that stuff and you go back and look at it, man,
1:09:58
and you'd be like, boom, perfect.
1:10:00
That's perfect right there. I ain't even got to do too much
1:10:02
to it. Yeah, yeah.
1:10:03
You know, yeah. But with that being said.
1:10:08
What do I say? I was going to ask you where can
1:10:11
can people find you? Oh now we got the website.
1:10:15
Now I took everything off social media for a minute, deleted all
1:10:19
my music off of all these streaming services, you know
1:10:23
redid the website. So now you can find me at
1:10:26
www.elfnrclub.com. If you want to find me on
1:10:34
Instagram, it's JD Fisher, Fisher FISHA under score or if
1:10:44
you looking at me on, you know, Facebook, Cliff Johnson, you
1:10:49
know, the government name and YouTube.
1:10:52
YouTube would be F&R Academy because we're going to start
1:10:56
doing right now. We just doing a lot of Bible
1:11:00
base videos, a lot of just testimonies.
1:11:03
Eventually we're going to start doing interviews, we're going to
1:11:06
start doing clothes and design tutorials and stuff like that.
1:11:10
Just a little random stuff like that.
1:11:12
So that's why it's an Academy. You can come here, you can learn
1:11:15
about God, learn about the Bible.
1:11:17
You can learn how to be resilient is which is why, haha,
1:11:23
we wrote this book. Look at that Cliff D Johnson.
1:11:28
Now, we wrote this book called Learning How to Stay Resilience.
1:11:34
Now, throughout this time where I was going from social media,
1:11:41
of course, I took some time to be productive and was like, you
1:11:46
know what? My whole brand, before I stopped
1:11:49
doing hip hop music was about hustling, about keeping your
1:11:54
head above the water. So now I got to kind of, you
1:11:57
know, make it a little bit more sweeter.
1:12:00
So I'm like, you know, let me just kind of put some stuff in
1:12:03
here, put some stuff together. So the book, to be honest, ain't
1:12:07
nothing but, what, 60 pages? Because I know people don't like
1:12:15
to read. I know people don't like to
1:12:19
read. So I'm like, I'm going to make
1:12:20
some short books instead of all these Harry Potter books that
1:12:25
you got to read 200 pages is to get through the 1st chapter.
1:12:30
You see what I'm saying? Make all these short books and
1:12:32
make them short and sweet. Put something in there that
1:12:34
people can relate to. Put a couple of, you know,
1:12:38
challenges and stuff in there and then we try to run with it
1:12:41
now you know what I'm saying? So it's not for sale at the
1:12:45
moment. We ain't really doing too much
1:12:47
with it, but I just wanted to make sure we brought it up here
1:12:51
and just let y'all know that we got a book about staying
1:12:54
resilient, you know, and even with this, the magazine, I
1:12:59
wanted to blah, blah, blah. This is old.
1:13:02
Yeah, I've seen this already, but I wanted to get you involved
1:13:05
into this as well because sooner or later we're going to start
1:13:08
back at the magazine. Yeah.
1:13:09
Now this was an old copy from like 2 years ago, but this is
1:13:14
something that I was doing with my business.
1:13:17
Like I said, we got an LLC for it and everything and just
1:13:21
different business, you know, of course I got to put myself in
1:13:23
there. Yeah, of course.
1:13:24
That's around the time crypto and all these, what they call
1:13:30
them freaking basically crypto and all the digital cards.
1:13:36
And Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So I created myself a card.
1:13:39
I created myself a music card and NFT that's what.
1:13:43
It was NFT so. I had AEP out and I created a
1:13:47
card with a different color, different design for each song
1:13:51
and I just sold it on. I forgot the website, but little
1:13:55
stuff like this man, like, you know, that's my sister's down in
1:13:58
Atlanta and everything, you know, this is a guy from
1:14:02
Orlando. He do shows, do performances,
1:14:05
all of these different shows and stuff like that.
1:14:08
Of course we got to have food in there, of course, you know, and
1:14:11
then candles. Shout out to the Black Express.
1:14:17
Shout out to the Black Express. Start your business back.
1:14:22
That's all I'm going to. Say, and speaking candles too,
1:14:25
just to throw it out there, Pleiades Apothecary, which is
1:14:28
Amber and Justin's candle business they've started
1:14:31
recently too. So say that again.
1:14:33
Pleiades apothecary. Yeah, so.
1:14:36
Hey, for real, because we need candles.
1:14:38
Like that's one thing about me around my house.
1:14:40
I have camels, I have the little plug in sense I got.
1:14:44
I got candles rolling right now. Yeah, you.
1:14:46
Got to have it, man. You got to have it.
1:14:48
So I mean, like I said, everything we create is for the
1:14:52
new generation that has a short attention span.
1:14:57
Yeah. So that's why even this is
1:15:00
short. You see what I'm saying?
1:15:01
So it's just like little stuff like that we trying to get back
1:15:04
into and everything. And we would love to get y'all
1:15:06
involved into that as well. Yeah, absolutely.
1:15:09
But the kind of end on a end on a, a Christian point is we was
1:15:16
talking about reactions. A lot of times the, the way we
1:15:21
react, it is a God's trait. It's a Jesus trait.
1:15:25
The fact that you were saying, you know, when people get on, on
1:15:30
your nerves or when something happened and you can be patient
1:15:36
enough to not react from that, that's a that's a God trait.
1:15:41
You see what I'm saying? So as long as we ain't reacting,
1:15:45
we kind of, you know, even with me and my situation, I prayed
1:15:50
for that dude. You see what I'm saying?
1:15:51
I want to like, you know, because I to be honest, I told
1:15:55
Kevin, Kevin told Steve and they then they went and went further
1:16:01
with it. I ain't even want all that.
1:16:04
I'm like, hey, I understand this man protecting his mom and his
1:16:07
sister. You know, we're just going to
1:16:09
pray for him. Peace, that peace go to their
1:16:11
household. So sometimes, you know, if I
1:16:14
would have reacted from that one, I would have lost my job
1:16:18
two out and went to jail 3 hours on a property 4 You see what
1:16:24
I'm. Saying yeah, yeah, there's a
1:16:25
lot. That's on my record now.
1:16:27
Five, they calling the office, talking about Cliff, Then came
1:16:30
the Hill was fighting sick. We can go on and on.
1:16:34
So it's like we got to have that patience because it's a lot of
1:16:38
temptation around the world. It's a lot of stuff.
1:16:41
Definitely nowadays, it's a lot of it's secure, it's a lot of
1:16:47
emotional people step back, look at the situation, breathe and
1:16:53
and you know, think about your reaction, think about your
1:16:56
thoughts, think about what you're going to say before you
1:16:58
say it. So there you go.
1:17:01
That's all I want to say. I want to make sure we reactions
1:17:04
because the reactions is important man, I'm telling you.
1:17:06
Absolutely. Yes, Sir.
1:17:07
Yes, Sir. But I appreciate you for having
1:17:09
me on, man. Thank you for your time and
1:17:11
everything, and I look forward to coming back on.
1:17:13
I know this episode, you know, I talked a lot about the stories.
1:17:19
I feel like I took over your podcast so.
1:17:21
That was the point of it. That was the point I want.
1:17:24
I want more stories like. Yeah, we got MO man That's
1:17:28
that's that's that was just what I what I told you today was you
1:17:34
going up to a birthday cake and just getting one count off.
1:17:36
Oh yeah. And like, because if you was to
1:17:41
get the rest of those candles off and if we was to cut that
1:17:44
cake in half, you'd be like, wait, seven churches?
1:17:49
What? Oh, you ain't tell me about the
1:17:51
guy that was, you didn't tell me about the, the, the, the, the,
1:17:56
the spiritual attack. You didn't tell me about the,
1:17:58
the out of body experience, you know, so we have, you know.
1:18:02
Yeah, it, it's, it's, it's, it'll be good for the next time
1:18:04
and everything. So we got more to tell, man.
1:18:06

1:18:09
about so well. Well, we look forward to having
1:18:12

1:18:18
of course, and, and spread one one first and foremost, spread
1:18:22
the gospel as we always got to do.
1:18:25
But like we said, we ain't perfect.
1:18:27
We come on here and we, we say certain stuff, we tell our
1:18:30
testimonies so everybody else can relate and they can see that
1:18:34
we're not perfect, but at least we're trying.
1:18:36
You don't have, but that's what matters, man.
1:18:38
We try, you know. Yes, Sir.
1:18:41
