  Speaker 1: stay off the meds or get back on the Mad's BT.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Turn off your damn phone. People always have a phone
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: on solid. Orlando Brown definitely has an issue. He was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: going to church. He had the baby and new baby
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: stopped taking his meds doing so well. I know, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: said you get off the meds. He needs to get
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: back on his prescribed medication. What is he like, is
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: he bipolar or something? When you do whatever he needs?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You said, he's off the med So I'm just like,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you know, he listened that that man is not that old.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: He too wrong to be looking at Oh that is drugged, right, Yeah,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I agree, he looks like drugs. I feel like he
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: maybe do you take medication for for having bipolar disorder?
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: And maybe he stopped taking it and when you don't
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: take it for a while, don't don't make any like that.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But I never know he was diagnosed, but they could
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: make people I don't know. To keep in mind, this
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: is all something's wrong with him. Everybody got an uncle
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like Orlando Brown and acts like that. That's this looks
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: like a form of bipolar disorder. So I'm just gonna
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: go with the ladder that he has. He's bipolar and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: he stopped taking his meds, and this is what we
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: get when he doesn't take his meds because it happened before. Okay, speculation,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: but it's all cat. That ship just seems and looks
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and he sounds like cat. What are you talking about?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: What he said? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know he
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: was talking about you know, the crazy thing about it
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: diagnoses there's something wrong with him. Yeah, okay, drugs. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: think it's drugs too. This drug there's no way you're
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: acting like that. I think he like relapsed or something.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you. That's what I think he did too, because
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I talked to Funny Marco. Shout out to Funny Marco Um.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: That was the guy that was an interviewing him. Marco
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: was happening in UM. He said, like when he said that,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you can hear in the audio people in the back
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: of life. Was he like really fidgety there? And I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: mean he said he said like the interview like he
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: was just like, you know, just throwing just like blurn
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like you know it kind of like he got schizophrenic
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: or something like he's just like just if you watch
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the interview, he was said a bunch of stuff about
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other people. That was just that part
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just went super viral. I watched the interview, I was like, yeah,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: this they ain't know bipolar disorder, that's drugs. How I
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: did address addressed it by the tweets since when Legends
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: got to speak on fucory, I'm feeling my new TV show,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: My dog is always feeling a new TV show, Uh
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: neither here nor there, and preparing for a sould out
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: show at the Old two Arena for the Millennium Tour
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in London. I'm a thirty five year old father. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't play the type of games you do. Know, this
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is bow you're talking to, right, I am a boy,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: damon speaking of I'm a boy. It is a boy
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to Chloe and Tristan Thompson there having a boy. He
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: is Sarah getting everybody going crazy on the social media
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is because this just came out. But I will say
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the time stamp is as accurate as the surrogate. This
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: hasship has to have happened during the relationship prior to
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the kid with the trainer. So the baby is already here.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah it's a boy. Yeah the baby is here. But
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you know he you know, he probably got two girls
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: pregnant that ghetto twins and he has now two kids
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: with son and a daughter. I just think at this
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: point she just want the same daddy. I'm just saying
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: you could do bad. I am confused, but at the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: same time well aware that this is clearly something that
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: she invites into her lifestyle. This is ghetto. I'm just
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: saying this this some ghetto ish that you hear in
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the hood where you like, listen, they're not together, but
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you know, but it's kind of like Courtney, she knew that,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: you know, what it was with her and Scott, but
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: she wanted her kids and she you know, have the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: same other, same father. Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. She
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: only wanted the same years. Yeah, but she knew they
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: weren't gonna get married or there wasn't a future with him,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: but she wanted her children. She was you know, her
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: biological clock was probably ticking, and she wanted the same father.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So she just went on ahead and had all her kids.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, now she's in a different situation with her
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: husband that she wants a child with, so you know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that's a different situation. But I can only imagine with Chloe,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: like she probably knows that there's no future with Tristan,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: however she wants her biological clock is ticking, and she
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to get her kids by the same daddy.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: That's that's weet, speaking of the same daddy. It's so
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: many good segues. Elon Musk's dad, Everal Musk, reportedly welcomed
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the unplanned second child with his step daughter. Nasty, nasty, nasty,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that's nasty. So that's crazy him. Now, hold on, guys,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: reportedly welcomed a second child with his stepdaughter, so he
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: already had one with her. He became her stepdaughter, her
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: stepdad obviously when she was four years old after married
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: her mother. And yeah, that's such a predator. That is
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just they also have two biological children. So then so
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: now the two biological children that he has with his
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: stepdaughter's mother is is now her step daughter's uncle brother.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: This some Kardashians uncle brother. This sounds like, sounds about right,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: sounds about right, sounds about white. And uh man, my boy,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: little boozy is outside being outside getting arrested, and he
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: just went just spast take a listen. I'm gonna make
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you are. You're gonna be soon like a ready all
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the way ready down to New York. The first white

  Speaker 1: bea goddamn badass, And I soon him right by you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: He read I'm ready. I'm sing he ain't ready because
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: he had such a long sentence before. We didn't even
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: know he was when he was gonna get Yeah, I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: think that's what I think. That's what tweaked in his head.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I think something snapped in his head because he said,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of this move to the I'm sam ship.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I think Little Boozy is ready to die. And I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: don't mean like he wants to die. I feel like
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: he's ready to die because I feel like a lot
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of gangsters, especially his age, I've seen them, been around them,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: they feel like they're on barrow time, so they be
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: like ship whatever, I'd have made it this far, fucking
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I could tell that. I could tell us temperament was like,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I'm ready to go funk. What you're talking about? It
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: is what it is. Did you hear when he said
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I had death on my back in prison when he
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: beat that murder charge, because he was like, yo, that
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was That's what I'm saying. With that in the back
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: of his mind when he wasn't certain that he would
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: get out, you know, you think his attitude will be different,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: you know. I feel like, again, I don't know Boozy personally,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: but I've been around him a few times and I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: definitely a fan of him enough to know that I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: can definitely tell that a lot is always on his mind,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: especially with things like that, because you know what outside
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: back in the day, now you don't nothing, don't forget
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: who Boosey used to be. Facts And I don't think honestly,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: anybody that's been to prison for a certain amount of years,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I don't think that ever leaves their mind, you know
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: what I mean, like in the back of the head,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: because you've seen we've never seen we always seen Boosey

  Speaker 1: I spoke you up the other day. I'm I'm from Florida. Um,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I went to College of us F and Tampa. And
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it's a song that you did call high five, and um,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that's one of the songs that we always did when
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: it was somebody's birthday or whatever. And um, I always
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: I was like man drove always. I always went to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Drove for some colorful palette swag wearing bars. Um, where
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: did that come from? Uh? When I first started, when
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I first got into the music industry, a lot of
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: people thought I was from Florida. I don't know them
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: colors and you know, if my family actually comes from Tampa.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: My mom, my mom's um, brothers and sisters did from Tampa.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: But what when I get that front, I think I
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: think being being poor, I guess you know what I'm saying,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: made me think colorful thoughts. And you know, wanted to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: be I wanted to be something that was that stood out,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Because I'm from I'm old
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: enough to be to add a black and white TV,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I always wanted color
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in it, you know what I mean. And I thought
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that you know, um, bright colors really complimented my darts
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and complexion. You know what I'm saying, okay, young draw
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: on the building up. Now. I want to take it
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: back to the beginning of your career when now did
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: you first become signed when you signed to Hustle Gang
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: or did you have a situation before you were sign up,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: because the first time I heard you was on you
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Hustle correct. No, No, I kind of went through to UM.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I went through like a couple of drog dealer's hands. Um.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I remember wrapping. So you were signed before you went
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to grounds? Yeah, they're no that. Yeah. I was signed
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to Rain the Dream, didn't know tit for Life Records,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and Roco came and bought the contract from Rain the Dream.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I think, did you still go by Yon Drove? That
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: was you just drove? Um? I think my first album
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: was I got to Draw, Yeah, and then by the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: time I got to Rocko, I was young Drop okay,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and I remember rock buying the contract back and we
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: were celebrating the Blue Flame, you know what I mean.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: And that was that was that was a big moment
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: in my life. You know what I mean to be
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: for for somebody to come pay some money for me,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you know, when I ain't having a really a deal
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: like that. That was still independent, but I felt pretty good.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: So you're signed to Rocco. And at any point did
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you feel like, Okay, I need a bigger push because
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: you were signed independently, I'm assuming correct. Um, when did
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: grand Hustle come into play? Um? I actually the bigger
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: push was there. It's just that we wasn't that much
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: experience in the music, um, because I had songs with Monica,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Juvenile Turd, Bone Crusher, Um, Jazzy Fame. Yeah, I had
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: all this done with Rocko Okay, so we just wasn't
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: that experienced the pretty much young young guys just out
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: there and I just still had my My lyrics was
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: very good though, and I had a voice for it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And after that, that's when Grand Hustle came around. Yeah,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Tip Tip came to the studio one day and he
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: asked rock Um. He was like, I gotta I need
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: my ball here with me. You know what I'm saying,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: don't want you on him? And it was it was
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I guess they told me to get out so they
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: can talk about it. But that happened like that and
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: so um, after they got to talking, something happened and
• 17:04

  Speaker 1: Family members saying hey I need this, um such as such,
• 20:27

• 20:31
  Speaker 1: assuming they're they're super young or on the way at
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: that particular moment. Yeah, so all my just had my
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: well I had my first daughter already, she was like
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: four or five. Okay, so everybody asking for money, I'm
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: giving it. Um. I remember going to the bank and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: taking out eighty thou all dollars just to you know,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: make sure everybody straight. And sometimes I would just take
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: these stupid amounts of money out of the bank and
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I'll be like, well, I'm gonna take has had this
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: for myself, go to the mall with this, And I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: got this for you know, people that you know, because
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: I'm my heart as biggest Georgian you know, and I
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: made sure I always made sure I gave money to
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the people like kids or whatever, or girls that that
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't stumps or whatever with their kids and trying to
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: get you know what I'm saying, make sure they asked
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: some for school, and if you really didn't have nothing
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: for Christmas, I would, you know, That's what I made
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: myself available for. And I think that I kind of
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: drowned in that because I was trying to actually I
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: think trying to play God a little bit, you know
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: what I mean, so to speak, because I would make
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: sure that after I came from Hollywood or something, you know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: or we was in l A or outcome all the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: way back down and you know, spread the love. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: also I would get actually caught up in those places,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you know, other situations would present their selves, you know
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you will be like, man, seen
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: drove a little bit too long, you know, what I'm saying,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and then you know, and also the drugs, you know
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it came from a girl. These
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: people now that maybe you have helped out, Are they
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: appreciative if you still now or I don't. I don't.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I don't see most of them, you know. I think
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the ones that I do keep in contact with, they
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: were appreciative, But most of them was drug addicts, you
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So I wouldn't say that they
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: were very appreciative because we actually all threw the money away,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you know at some point you um, then you know
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it's but it's a lot of people that really really
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Hey, little I used this
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: for the money. Um, I actually got through school. You know,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you gave me some money to actually give me some
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: shoes that probably at that point in time that you know,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: those those a pair of shoes might have really mattered,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Two thousand two, young Drove
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: has been through a lot um Again, I will say
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: this is all blue in the face, purple and face,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: your liver legend in my eyes, look up to you,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: being benefit of you. Since I was a young young
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: guy trying to figure it out. Definitely use your lines
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: for lines that I thought people needed to hear, because
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I will come up to Atlanta in the summer and
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: then I will go back down to Florida and just
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: come back with the lingo to drip the whole sauce,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: like you were the first person I saw in the polo,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Which leads me to this question, what is your infatuation
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: with polo? Ralph Lauren? Do you know this man? Have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: you met this man? Something that you just came up with?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: You know what? This is something? Because I've never seen
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: anyone to do it like you. I mean it was
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: high school, man. I think, Um, when I was in
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: high school, you just wearing short shorts way before everybody else. Yeah,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it was like that. It was like it was like
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: like I didn't even own any jeans, Like, yeah, you
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: wore that. Yeah, I didn't wear tennis shoes like that.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: If I was gonna wear a tennis you was gonna
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: probably be a skipper or you know what I'm saying,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: or a case switches something something playing. But it grew
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: in high school and I always knew that polo bridge
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the gap between poor and rich. You feel me, You
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: didn't have to have a lot of money to get it,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and you couldn't tell if I was either one of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: these things. Feel what I'm saying. So, and it's you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I would look at TV, you know, and I would
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: see rich people rocket, and then I would see, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: not so rich people rocket, But you really couldn't tell.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: And it was just classical to me, you know what
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. I felt classy, you know what I'm saying.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I felt like I had class rocking it. And I
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: felt that everything that I felt, like Cardier's Polo and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Jack Warres went together. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: you did a hell of a job making them, making
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: them go. Yeah. So I mean like it was. It was.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: It was all a thing that I pictured in my
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: head and then I brought it to life, you know
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah. Um, in closing the person that
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you are today, man, uh in two thousand and twenty two,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: do you have any regrets or or anything that from
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the past? Yeah, I think, Um, when I picked up drugs,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: that was pretty much the worst thing I ever did
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: was drugs and uh and and to see when we're
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: not just talking about weed now, we're not just talking
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: about we ain't um. I indulged in a lot of
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: different kind of drugs coming up. I mean, like to say,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: to to to make a long story show. It's like
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: a rock like the rock star thing. I kind of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: was like living that, you know, And I thought that
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: one night we was just gonna have fun, you know
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And this was just gonna be that.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: And it turned into a habit, and I made a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: lot of poor decisions, um, indulging in those things. You know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: nobody really explained that, hey, look, this can't get bad.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: It's get out of hand, you know what I mean.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And in and in the future it kind of showed,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I think God for
• 26:07

  Speaker 1: more of the baller alerts, y'all. Man, it is time
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: for baller mail. Dear Ferrari and ball alert. My lady
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: has called up at work and it is bothering me.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: We've been together for five years and a few weeks ago.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Her new bass at her job is her ex fiance.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I am not comfortable with her working at her job
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: with her ex fiance. Neither is she. But it's a
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: great paying job with benefits, etcetera, etcetera. I don't make
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: enough money for her to quit, so I feel trapped
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and need a few opinions. Appreciate y'all. What do you
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: think that's kind of a tough one, man, I would,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: you know, I would just have a conversation with my wife.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: You know. I think the best thing for you to
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: do is help her find a new job. There's always
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: other jobs. If your wife isn't comfortable, you're not comfortable,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: and just help to find a new job. Or you
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: may need to find a new job so you can
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: tell your wife to quit her job. Rorry what you got. Well,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: before I tell you what I think, I'm gonna tell
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: you what's going on. The fiance probably got that job
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: on purpose. Okay, transferred over there where your where your
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: lady is at. Now, why she's not your wife, that's
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: none of my business. But if she's just your lady
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: and her ex fiance is her new boss, just know
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: on the first day of work that highlight reel went
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: through his head depending on where she wore to work.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So I'm just letting you know, player, you need to
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: get your ship together. You should have had your ship
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: together so you'd be like, man, thought that job, God, damn,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I got it, you know what, Go ahead and take
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you a little sabbatical. You feel me out to make
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: sure you're good. Now, I must say, let me just
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: address the elephant in the room. You kind of you
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: feel like you may be a little insecure about that.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like you should be uh insecure about
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: it as long as you trust your lady. Now, if
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: you have a little insecurity about the xpience to make
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: you uncomfortable and she is also uncomfortable, like you said
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in the uh in the ball of mail, yeah, you're
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: gonna have to go ahead and get her new helping
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: find a new job. But that's gonna be difficult. But
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, she won't have to wear some baggy
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: clothes to work. You feel me. She might have to
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: request a different time shift, but if everybody's there, it's
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: four hours a week. That new boss is looking at
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: your lady, brother, she she's potentially seeing her ex fiance
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: at work more than she sees you. I'm just letting
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you know. Fourty hours a week is a long time.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Sounds like that her work husband is there, and she
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and he used to be her ex fiance, so you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: know they were having sex for raw. I'm just letting
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: you know now, So buddy, you're in a tough conundrum.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: You better go ahead and map this thing out and
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: figure it out. Because if she's just your lady, y'all
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: stay together. You got your work cut out for your brother.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna pray for you and helping get a new job.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Or you step your ship up and she don't got
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: to work. Well, she gonna work, but you feel that,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: just step the game up so you know, and then
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: stop being so insecure. Bro, I feel like you got
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: damn you know what I'm saying. I know I probably
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: just helped. The insecurities just got bigger. But UM, if
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: you trust your lady, it's cool, You'll be right. Call
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it down, bro. Sounds good time for us to get
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the funk out of here. Uh, give me some shout
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: out before we roll up out of here, guys, and
• 31:30
