Speaker 1: What did do Little Baby be back again?
0:04
Speaker 2: Lester Sanchez, Quincy Jamal Joe Ferniesi.
0:09
Speaker 3: The Ground Show, Season two, episode one oh one.
0:12
Speaker 2: We took a well needed reset back again, ready to
0:17
Speaker 2: get a rain.
0:18
Speaker 3: But we were just talking about right now that I.
0:21
Speaker 2: Wanted to roll the cameras before.
0:24
Speaker 3: Time is we're just talking about algorithms.
0:28
Speaker 2: And something specifically you just said Joe about like kind
0:32
Speaker 2: of like tailoring your feed but not interested and stuff.
0:34
Speaker 3: The thing that sucks about that is if.
0:37
Speaker 2: People are reacting to something, it'll pop up on you
0:40
Speaker 2: for you because let's say, you know, fifty of your
0:44
Speaker 2: followers liked it, so it's gonna pop up on your thing.
0:46
Speaker 2: So it might not align with the interest that you
0:49
Speaker 2: have on Instagram, but Instagram like prioritizes popularity so much
0:54
Speaker 2: that if something's blowing up, they're just gonna put it
0:56
Speaker 2: in everybody's face, you know what I mean. Even like
1:01
Speaker 2: we were talking about before, just the algorithms and stuff
1:04
Speaker 2: like that, and we're talking about Dave Blunt. He's on
1:08
Speaker 2: the top of the independent playlist for Spotify right now,
1:12
Speaker 2: even though he has like a very unorthodox style and
1:15
Speaker 2: all the buzzwords that he uses are like the words
1:18
Speaker 2: right now that are like, it's like a big no
1:21
Speaker 2: no to use those words, you know what I'm saying. Like,
1:23
Speaker 2: he got a song that's the number one song on
1:25
Speaker 2: the Independent Playlist. The song is called Bundle of Sticks,
1:29
Speaker 2: so you already know what he's insinuating with that, and
1:33
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff is like the worst kind of
1:36
Speaker 2: things that you could try to advertise, because you know,
1:39
Speaker 2: people don't go for that basically, But whenever somebody's popping
1:43
Speaker 2: like he is, they throw all that algorithmics stuff out
1:46
Speaker 2: the window because it's like, oh, he's getting hits, so
1:49
Speaker 2: let's use it, you know what I'm saying, Which goes
1:51
Speaker 2: kind of even ties in a little bit of what
1:53
Speaker 2: we were talking about last time with them trying to
1:57
Speaker 2: keep urban music in like a certain place, and it's like,
2:01
Speaker 2: they'll keep it in that place because even though it's wrong,
2:04
Speaker 2: it's selling, and if it's selling, they're gonna put it
2:06
Speaker 2: in front of the camera and they're gonna sell as
2:07
Speaker 2: much of it as they can, you know what I mean.
2:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's crazy, bro. I think.
2:13
Speaker 2: Dj Envy had said that on the radio one time
2:16
Speaker 2: that it was the first time I had heard about it.
2:18
Speaker 2: And I never verified it, but he was saying that
2:21
Speaker 2: one of his first label deals, they actually one of
2:25
Speaker 2: the things they wanted to do as part of the
2:26
Speaker 2: deal is take out a life insurance policy on him
2:29
Speaker 2: because like the rapper lifestyle and stuff, basically like to
2:33
Speaker 2: protect their assets. So if he passes away or he
2:35
Speaker 2: gets killed or something, they're still protected, you.
2:38
Speaker 3: Know what I mean. Yeah, And it's.
2:41
Speaker 2: Deep, you know what I'm saying, Like it runs deep,
2:44
Speaker 2: Like how calculated it is, like you know, the exploiting
2:49
Speaker 2: the trauma.
2:49
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
2:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember that he's saying a lot of the
2:53
Speaker 4: rappers who died had life instric's policies taken out on them.
2:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the label recoups everything. They're cool.
3:00
Speaker 2: They made their money off you, and they made any
3:03
Speaker 2: money that you might owe if you pass you know
3:06
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Because they're giving you an advance. If
3:08
Speaker 2: you die before you pay that advance, you know what
3:11
Speaker 2: I'm saying, that's whatever million dollars they gave you. Now
3:15
Speaker 2: who's going to pay back? Well, they got life insurance
3:17
Speaker 2: policy on you, so they're good.
3:19
Speaker 3: So you did or alive? They chilling?
3:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw a clip from Ray Daniels too.
3:25
Speaker 6: I guess he's, you know, a pretty known producer that's
3:28
Speaker 6: like often in what the executives on these conversations, and
3:33
Speaker 6: you know, basically what he was kind of saying is
3:35
Speaker 6: that the exacts are typically you know, rich white individuals,
3:40
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, and they're trying to push
3:42
Speaker 6: like a certain image that obviously we're listening to or
3:45
Speaker 6: we're engaging with. But then you know when basically what
3:50
Speaker 6: he was saying was that when he is talking to
3:53
Speaker 6: these people and he's having these conversations, they're so out
3:57
Speaker 6: of touch with the what do you call it, like
4:00
Speaker 6: the whole culture that it's crazy that it's like and
4:04
Speaker 6: that's why they're able to do stuff like that. That's
4:05
Speaker 6: why they're able to take out these life insurance policies
4:07
Speaker 6: because they all they know is the money side of it.
4:11
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, It's business exactly.
4:13
Speaker 3: It's not art to them, it's exactly money, you know
4:16
Speaker 3: what I'm saying exactly.
4:18
Speaker 2: Something I was even telling my wife the other day,
4:20
Speaker 2: and it's funny because I didn't get to finish telling
4:22
Speaker 2: her so she could hear it.
4:23
Speaker 3: Now.
4:24
Speaker 2: Is a lot of times, even like with movie studios.
4:27
Speaker 2: It really just be the people that have literally movie studios.
4:31
Speaker 2: You know, real estate is expensive in LA. So if
4:34
Speaker 2: you got a movie studio, which is a huge lot
4:38
Speaker 2: in LA, you got money. There's no way to have
4:41
Speaker 2: a huge lot in LA without money. The people that
4:44
Speaker 2: are running these studios and the people that are deciding
4:47
Speaker 2: which movies are getting made are the people with the money,
4:49
Speaker 2: because they're the ones with the studios.
4:51
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
4:52
Speaker 2: The thing.
4:54
Speaker 3: I think what's his name?
4:57
Speaker 2: I forgot who said it recently, man, because I'm confusing
4:59
Speaker 2: as Walker interview that I heard with something else, but
5:03
Speaker 2: it might have been him, But he was basically saying
5:05
Speaker 2: that with the music, like he realized right away.
5:08
Speaker 3: Like not to put his eggs in that basket, you
5:11
Speaker 3: know what I mean. He made it at work with
5:13
Speaker 3: everything else.
5:14
Speaker 1: He says something like I'm only a rapper on.
5:17
Speaker 3: The weekends, you know what I mean. Like you're saying like.
5:19
Speaker 2: In a jokey kind of way, but it was kind
5:21
Speaker 2: of like he peeped the game pretty quick and he
5:24
Speaker 2: was like, all right, I see what this is compared
5:26
Speaker 2: to what I thought it was, you know what I mean?
5:30
Speaker 5: That's right.
5:31
Speaker 4: You really have to find the formula. And it's crazy,
5:35
Speaker 4: Like I'm saying, these streamers finding that formula, bro, because
5:39
Speaker 4: anybody who every that's why everybody started to streaming. And
5:42
Speaker 4: like it's crazy how you could tell how successful they're
5:45
Speaker 4: getting because they're buying big ass mansions, they're moving in together,
5:50
Speaker 4: creating these content and all these crazy ass views.
5:54
Speaker 5: And like I said, when I was watching the Olympics,
5:55
Speaker 5: it was crazy.
5:56
Speaker 4: How many just video game streamers were there at the
5:58
Speaker 4: Olympics Paris. So you know, it's like either they're getting
6:02
Speaker 4: flown out there, they're making it good enough where they
6:05
Speaker 4: got the money to be out there.
6:07
Speaker 5: But it's just like.
6:09
Speaker 2: They bro, it's like they're getting the eyes organically, and
6:13
Speaker 2: that's something that no matter how much money you pay,
6:15
Speaker 2: you can't guarantee that, you know what I'm saying, Like
6:18
Speaker 2: you can put people in front of like you can
6:21
Speaker 2: put somebody in front of the eyes of the public,
6:23
Speaker 2: but if they don't decide to stick with them, it
6:26
Speaker 2: don't mean nothing. Those people like Kai Sanat Needing lost the.
6:32
Speaker 5: Dude interviewed Donald Trump.
6:34
Speaker 2: Bro, these are dudes that are getting such crazy amount
6:39
Speaker 2: of reach with their platform, which is just them as
6:43
Speaker 2: a brand.
6:43
Speaker 3: You know what I mean that.
6:45
Speaker 2: They're they're like you said, bro, they're literally having presidential
6:49
Speaker 2: candidates like trying to interview with them, because that's how
6:52
Speaker 2: much influence and how much stroke they have just with
6:55
Speaker 2: people in general.
6:56
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
6:57
Speaker 6: Imagine paying a million dollars for a marketing plan, or
7:01
Speaker 6: paying a million dollars for a guarantee five hundred thousand
7:04
Speaker 6: people that's going to be streaming or tapped into the
7:07
Speaker 6: the you know what I mean, it's like a guarantee.
7:10
Speaker 6: It's an instant return on the investment. You know, you're
7:12
Speaker 6: getting your return on investment facts.
7:14
Speaker 2: It's kind of like even with Joe Rogan, like he
7:16
Speaker 2: has a certain audience that if you go on his show,
7:21
Speaker 2: you're pretty much guaranteed that that audience is going to
7:24
Speaker 2: give you the time, and it's going to give you
7:27
Speaker 2: the ear and going to hear your side, because that's
7:29
Speaker 2: what the show is about, you know what I mean,
7:31
Speaker 2: New ideas, digging into old ideas.
7:33
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
7:34
Speaker 2: So you as a guest on the show like that,
7:37
Speaker 2: you already know, dang, whatever I'm trying to get off,
7:39
Speaker 2: these people are going to get me an honest shake
7:41
Speaker 2: at it and at that point it's either they rock
7:45
Speaker 2: with you or they don't, you know what I mean.
7:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's just crazy because like the ads, like
7:52
Speaker 4: because you know, theo Van has ads. I watched this
7:54
Speaker 4: people called New rock Star, and I don't really notice
7:58
Speaker 4: the ads and it's them just doing a breakdown half
8:02
Speaker 4: through the video, like you know, a Today's video was
8:04
Speaker 4: brought to you by Yeah, And but I never listened
8:07
Speaker 4: to it. I was like, so, how is it worth
8:09
Speaker 4: that much money? And maybe just me because I don't
8:12
Speaker 4: watch the full episode, but I was like, the ads,
8:14
Speaker 4: I don't ever remember. They're not memorable ads. I couldn't
8:17
Speaker 4: even tell you what the products are.
8:19
Speaker 6: Well, a lot of them are they have enough viewers
8:21
Speaker 6: viewership that they are you know, they're monetized, you know
8:24
Speaker 6: what I mean, the amount of time that they're watched.
8:27
Speaker 6: They make money off of that from YouTube and other revenue.
8:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, it kind of goes hand in hand. But what
8:35
Speaker 2: you're saying, like you're saying, Joe.
8:36
Speaker 3: I'm the opposite.
8:37
Speaker 2: Like I listened to a lot of podcasts and I've
8:39
Speaker 2: used a lot of the services that I've heard in
8:41
Speaker 2: the ads, you know what I mean, Like I tried
8:44
Speaker 2: the back in the day. They used to advertise Harry's
8:47
Speaker 2: a lot like you pay five dollars a month.
8:49
Speaker 3: They say the brand new razors, and you know in
8:51
Speaker 3: the mail, I had tried that. What's the other one?
8:55
Speaker 3: Hello Fresh?
8:55
Speaker 2: That's when I heard on those on the podcasts and stuff,
8:58
Speaker 2: and I use one of them, she offers to get
9:00
Speaker 2: in there. I ordered a few times and then I
9:02
Speaker 2: just kept the recipes and did it myself. But I
9:05
Speaker 2: use that off a podcast, you know what I mean?
9:07
Speaker 5: Gotcha?
9:08
Speaker 1: Okay, Like I feel they've worked on me for sure, Yeah.
9:12
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
9:13
Speaker 5: And that's what I mean.
9:13
Speaker 4: I've used them off of like Instagram, but they're not
9:18
Speaker 4: off people like so ads do sell me. But when
9:21
Speaker 4: it comes to the YouTube videos I watch, like I
9:24
Speaker 4: just skip right over the ads, and I've so how
9:27
Speaker 4: many people are there like me or many people out
9:29
Speaker 4: there who are.
9:29
Speaker 5: Actually using the ads.
9:30
Speaker 4: So it's yeah, it just makes you wonder how how
9:34
Speaker 4: it's so valuable.
9:35
Speaker 2: With it And it depends on the model as well, right,
9:38
Speaker 2: because like you're talking about THEO von dvonn he's big podcasts,
9:42
Speaker 2: Like his podcast itself is really big. So like his
9:46
Speaker 2: thing is like downloads and streams of the podcast, you
9:49
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like that's the big number for him,
9:52
Speaker 2: and like even a lot of the stuff that makes
9:54
Speaker 2: his way to TikTok it goes back to him. But
9:58
Speaker 2: he's not necessarily eating off either, because people are just
10:01
Speaker 2: clipping his podcasts and throwing these clips on these different accounts.
10:05
Speaker 2: And it's like what he was saying was like they're
10:07
Speaker 2: posting it at such a rapid rate from so many
10:10
Speaker 2: random different accounts that you can't even try to like
10:14
Speaker 2: stop it, stop.
10:15
Speaker 3: People from using your clips and stuff.
10:16
Speaker 2: Like at a certain point, it's like, bro, you just
10:19
Speaker 2: gotta let it happen and just hope that they come
10:22
Speaker 2: and download the podcasts, you know what I mean. But
10:24
Speaker 2: then you got somebody else, like a streamer where they're
10:27
Speaker 2: specifically making their bread.
10:29
Speaker 3: Off the live viewers, you know what I mean, live.
10:31
Speaker 2: Viewership people don't any money with them, like just for
10:35
Speaker 2: watching them. Like it's crazy, bro, Like to me, I
10:40
Speaker 2: don't know, Bro, that's that's like a wild concept. It's
10:43
Speaker 2: definitely something that we're like not from that generation, so
10:46
Speaker 2: it's different.
10:47
Speaker 4: And that's why I feel like I feel like almost
10:50
Speaker 4: like it's poison now, Like it's tainted. Content creation is tainted.
10:55
Speaker 2: Because everybody's content creator. Now everything is content. Like that's
10:59
Speaker 2: thrilled in everybody. Like it's kind of like what we've
11:02
Speaker 2: talked about before. Like somebody will be like, come to
11:04
Speaker 2: Target with me, you know what I mean. Like it's
11:07
Speaker 2: like you doing your errands now as somebody that doesn't
11:10
Speaker 2: do anything like any.
11:13
Speaker 3: Like without hobbies.
11:14
Speaker 1: You feel me like because that's the thing that gets me.
11:17
Speaker 2: Like I'm not like, oh, you got to be a
11:19
Speaker 2: celebrity or something like that, but like, you know, have
11:22
Speaker 2: a hobby. You feel me like, I don't mind seeing
11:25
Speaker 2: somebody's content if like let's say you know something that
11:29
Speaker 2: I randomly see is like people that make these custom rugs,
11:33
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, doing by hand and stuff.
11:35
Speaker 2: It's like, bro, that's a skill that you learned that
11:38
Speaker 2: you took your time on. You're doing content based off this.
11:42
Speaker 2: I'll give it a listen because you've put the work
11:44
Speaker 2: in and earn you know what I'm saying, Like I
11:47
Speaker 2: can I can see that this is something that takes skill.
11:50
Speaker 3: If I'm scrolling by, come with me to Target.
11:53
Speaker 6: Like there's a lot of people that will engage with
11:59
Speaker 6: that and be like you know what I mean, that
12:01
Speaker 6: resonates with her.
12:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
12:03
Speaker 2: Something that comes up a lot too is like people
12:05
Speaker 2: saying like they're like romanticizing like everyday life, you know
12:09
Speaker 2: what I mean, trying to like make it seem a
12:13
Speaker 2: certain way, to kind of make you feel like it's
12:16
Speaker 2: more than what it is, you know what I mean?
12:19
Speaker 2: What do y'all think about that?
12:25
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's just.
12:28
Speaker 6: It's just what people have been doing with social media
12:31
Speaker 6: since you know the beginning, is trying to kind of fantasy,
12:35
Speaker 6: you know, create this fantasy. But to a different extent.
12:38
Speaker 6: Now now it's like, you know, let me show you
12:41
Speaker 6: how I got this fantasy, you know what I mean?
12:43
Speaker 2: Because I was I was like at that peak age
12:48
Speaker 2: when the social media thing really started taking off, and
12:51
Speaker 2: in the beginning, bro, people was literally just.
12:54
Speaker 3: Trying to connect.
12:55
Speaker 2: Like it wasn't no nobody was trying to create any
12:58
Speaker 2: kind of vibe nothing.
12:59
Speaker 3: It was literally like, yo, this is what I'm on?
13:02
Speaker 3: What are you on? You know what I mean?
13:03
Speaker 2: Like everybody was just really trying to connect just to
13:06
Speaker 2: see what everybody else was on and link up and
13:10
Speaker 2: things like that, Like nobody was trying to be on
13:12
Speaker 2: some like Yo, I'm the big dog here type thing
13:15
Speaker 2: like that came later. In the beginning, it was just yo,
13:17
Speaker 2: this is dope or able to connect in real time,
13:19
Speaker 2: you know.
13:19
Speaker 6: Agreed, agreed, So what I You're right, and in the
13:22
Speaker 6: beginning was the wrong word. But what I mean is
13:24
Speaker 6: is that like before TikTok, before reels, before you know,
13:28
Speaker 6: even before Instagram, you know what I mean, there was
13:31
Speaker 6: a certain point where, you know, social media has changed
13:36
Speaker 6: and people started to try to like create this fantasy
13:39
Speaker 6: of my life is better than yours. And that's kind
13:43
Speaker 6: of where it starts. That's where I'm talking about when
13:46
Speaker 6: I say the beginning, and you know what I'm saying,
13:49
Speaker 6: and now we are where we are from that.
13:52
Speaker 5: But yeah, you're absolutely right.
13:53
Speaker 6: You know, when social media first started, it was amazing,
13:55
Speaker 6: like you know what I'm saying, Like it was a
13:57
Speaker 6: great way for people to connect.
13:58
Speaker 2: People wouldn't even understand like how social media was in
14:02
Speaker 2: the very beginning, like when you're talking about like the
14:06
Speaker 2: chat rooms, even like even before my special chat rooms,
14:09
Speaker 2: people just logging on AOL, which was an instant messenger,
14:13
Speaker 2: and there was chat rooms, which is basically groups of
14:16
Speaker 2: different people that liked the different stuff. You would just
14:19
Speaker 2: pick one of the interest that you like, and it
14:22
Speaker 2: would just be a whole bunch of people talking about
14:24
Speaker 2: whatever you wanted.
14:24
Speaker 3: To talk about, Like right, I mean, if it was
14:27
Speaker 3: NBA or.
14:27
Speaker 2: Something they was tapping in during the game, after the game,
14:30
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, just opinions back and forth
14:32
Speaker 2: you can And.
14:33
Speaker 5: Most importantly, it wasn't trolls.
14:36
Speaker 6: People were actually trying to talk, right, people now just
14:40
Speaker 6: troll just I still don't understand the fascination with that.
14:45
Speaker 5: But you know, that's a whole other.
14:48
Speaker 3: Very four that.
14:51
Speaker 2: I feel like would make everything so simple, but people
14:56
Speaker 2: are very against. Like I would say that if you
14:59
Speaker 2: just using the in it just to have an online identity, you.
15:02
Speaker 3: Need an ID to do that.
15:05
Speaker 2: Everything you do from that online identity comes back to
15:08
Speaker 2: your online identity.
15:10
Speaker 5: Yep.
15:10
Speaker 2: And if that if that was the case for people,
15:12
Speaker 2: if people were like, oh, I'm actually responsible for what
15:15
Speaker 2: I do on the internet. All this, like not all
15:18
Speaker 2: of it, obviously, because people are gonna find ways to
15:20
Speaker 2: do stuff anyway. But I feel like a big percentage
15:23
Speaker 2: of the trolling they're talking crazy to getting together and
15:28
Speaker 2: festering with these evil thoughts and chat rooms and stuff.
15:32
Speaker 2: Like all that stuff will fall right apart if you
15:34
Speaker 2: had to put a face to it, for sure, definitely.
15:38
Speaker 4: So I watched a lot of videos, man, like I
15:40
Speaker 4: go back and forth all the time. I talked to
15:42
Speaker 4: my wife about it, like there's so much content I
15:45
Speaker 4: want to create, but I feel like in order for
15:48
Speaker 4: it to be anything, I have to do it how
15:53
Speaker 4: the trendy way to do it is.
15:54
Speaker 5: And I'm like, that's not me before.
15:56
Speaker 4: I feel like back in the day, you could just
15:58
Speaker 4: turn on the camera, be your one hundred percent self
16:02
Speaker 4: and upload that and present that as the content. But
16:05
Speaker 4: now you have to do it in a certain way
16:08
Speaker 4: in order for it to fit like in algorithms and
16:10
Speaker 4: for people even want to watch it.
16:12
Speaker 5: Now.
16:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were watching some dude who was giving like
16:15
Speaker 4: the top five food halls in Orlando, and he was
16:18
Speaker 4: talking so like animated in the way that you know, like.
16:21
Speaker 5: This guy isn't talking that in real life, while he
16:23
Speaker 5: just talked normal. She's like, white, is he talking like that?
16:25
Speaker 2: And I was check this out, so like this is
16:28
Speaker 2: something shout out to Freddy again that Freddy told me
16:30
Speaker 2: is like you can you can curate your vibe and
16:33
Speaker 2: then you just look for the people that are going
16:36
Speaker 2: to be in line with your shit, you know what
16:37
Speaker 2: I mean. Like, if you wanted to, like let's say
16:39
Speaker 2: that's what you wanted to do, you could just do
16:41
Speaker 2: it your regular Joe way. And then when you put
16:45
Speaker 2: it together and you put it out there, you're looking
16:47
Speaker 2: for like kind of like what Quincy was saying, like
16:49
Speaker 2: when he's running targeted ads as an artist. When I'm
16:51
Speaker 2: running targeted as as an artist, I'm just looking for
16:54
Speaker 2: people like the people that already like my music but
16:57
Speaker 2: haven't heard, you know what i mean. And then it's
16:59
Speaker 2: like you you got to try to find kind of
17:01
Speaker 2: that community, like even like with TikTok, like that's like
17:06
Speaker 2: a platform or like when stuff takes off, like a
17:09
Speaker 2: certain community will will kind of flock to you, and
17:12
Speaker 2: you just kind of hope it's the right one, you
17:15
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
17:15
Speaker 4: But the thing about TikTok and like that's what I've
17:17
Speaker 4: always that's where I first got the idea of like
17:20
Speaker 4: DJing on a live feed. But you can't dj without
17:23
Speaker 4: having at least a thousand followers. You can't get a
17:26
Speaker 4: thousand followers without making something that's gonna fit. The algorithm
17:30
Speaker 4: is gonna get you followers, which is gonna be some
17:32
Speaker 4: bullshit that you really don't want to make just to
17:34
Speaker 4: get you there in order to do what you want.
17:36
Speaker 5: It's it's such like it's such.
17:40
Speaker 3: A yah.
17:41
Speaker 2: Grind, Like if you wanted to just get on with
17:46
Speaker 2: what everybody's on, it could happen right away.
17:48
Speaker 3: But then what gets you on is what you got
17:50
Speaker 3: to be on, you know what I mean.
17:51
Speaker 2: You're not just gonna be trendy and say hey, I'm trendy,
17:54
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, the people that follows
17:56
Speaker 2: you see that you're not trendy. You just hit with
17:58
Speaker 2: some random thing, you know what I mean. That's why,
18:00
Speaker 2: like a lot of times even people just trying to
18:04
Speaker 2: latch onto trends to grow their their page for whatever
18:10
Speaker 2: type of thing they do that has nothing to do
18:12
Speaker 2: with whatever that trend is. To me, it's kind of like, Okay,
18:15
Speaker 2: let's say you gain five hundred thousand followers that followed
18:19
Speaker 2: you because of that topic, Like how does that transfer
18:21
Speaker 2: to you? That's why you hear these random stories are
18:25
Speaker 2: like people that drop merch that have.
18:26
Speaker 3: A million followers and they're like, oh.
18:29
Speaker 2: My gosh, you know two people about my merch, Like
18:32
Speaker 2: they're not supporting me for real. This is not It's like, yeah,
18:35
Speaker 2: because these people not supporting you for real. They just
18:37
Speaker 2: seen you on some trendy thing.
18:39
Speaker 3: You was the clown of the minute.
18:41
Speaker 2: They laughed at you, and they probably even forgot that
18:43
Speaker 2: they was following you, you know what I mean. That's
18:47
Speaker 2: that's something about you know, popularity that people overlook.
18:52
Speaker 3: A lot of the time, you know what I mean.
18:53
Speaker 2: Like it's not necessarily like a real thing, especially online
18:57
Speaker 2: when the things that you click on me and anything.
19:00
Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, there's something I want to do that
19:05
Speaker 4: I haven't mind up doing that. I'm still going to
19:07
Speaker 4: plan to do it eventually and see how that goes,
19:11
Speaker 4: because that could be my natural self and do something
19:14
Speaker 4: involve people and fit an algorithm without having it. But
19:17
Speaker 4: when I be what I consider corny in order to
19:20
Speaker 4: get a following and have people watch, but.
19:24
Speaker 5: It's really like, it's really.
19:28
Speaker 4: Me seeing content and what you have to do to
19:30
Speaker 4: be a successful content creator makes you not want to
19:34
Speaker 4: create my content?
19:35
Speaker 2: Bro I thought, I'm telling you, I felt the same
19:37
Speaker 2: exact way until Freddie told me that thing about like
19:39
Speaker 2: curating it to your vibe.
19:42
Speaker 3: I challenge y'all.
19:43
Speaker 2: To do that, like, get on y'all shit, get on
19:46
Speaker 2: your social media and all the shit that you're talking
19:48
Speaker 2: about that you want to do. Start seeking that kind
19:50
Speaker 2: of shit out and see how that starts taking over
19:53
Speaker 2: your feeds and it's going to propel you instead of
19:56
Speaker 2: detract you.
19:57
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.
19:58
Speaker 2: Like, I'm like, y'all know, I've been really big into
20:00
Speaker 2: music production and mixing and mastering and stuff.
20:03
Speaker 1: I follow pages that do that, like they have like.
20:06
Speaker 2: Engineers on and producers on, and they do these interviews
20:09
Speaker 2: different podcasts and stuff. When I'm scolling my thing I'm seeing, yo,
20:13
Speaker 2: something might pop up about something that I'm specifically looking
20:16
Speaker 2: to figure out, like maybe how to mix the cake
20:19
Speaker 2: with the base in the mix so it sounds good,
20:22
Speaker 2: you know, how to make something sound less muddy, which
20:24
Speaker 2: muddy is basically like when you hear a noise and
20:27
Speaker 2: it just doesn't sound that pleasant. It sounds muffled, Like
20:30
Speaker 2: how do I brighten that up? Like the stuff that
20:32
Speaker 2: I'm seeing is like showing me how to do that.
20:34
Speaker 2: And then when I'm pulling up my studio equipment, I'm like, oh, dang,
20:37
Speaker 2: that video I seen earlier they told me to subtract
20:40
Speaker 2: this frequency and try that, you know what I mean, Like,
20:43
Speaker 2: you'll get it to a point where, like like I said,
20:45
Speaker 2: instead of being a detraction, that's actually helping you with
20:47
Speaker 2: whatever you want.
20:48
Speaker 5: You know, then that's my YouTube.
20:51
Speaker 4: My YouTube is curated for that, and that's where I
20:54
Speaker 4: think that's where my shift is going to change. Like
20:56
Speaker 4: I'm not going to try to do it for Instagram anymore,
20:59
Speaker 4: which I raised thought I would and just start with YouTube.
21:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, that that helped me a lot because I was
21:04
Speaker 2: the same like like y'all was saying like I would
21:06
Speaker 2: pull off my stuff and I'm like, bro, like I
21:08
Speaker 2: didn't even understand how that's coming across my feeds, Like
21:12
Speaker 2: it's like what indication have I even given my phone?
21:16
Speaker 4: Literally, there's this an option that you can ask why
21:20
Speaker 4: am I seeing this?
21:20
Speaker 5: I would say why why am I seeing this? Why?
21:24
Speaker 3: And that?
21:25
Speaker 2: And that's where you see like the stuff I was
21:27
Speaker 2: saying earlier, like the algorithmics, the algorithmic stuff where it's
21:30
Speaker 2: like people like you have liked this people and your
21:33
Speaker 2: following list of like this, you know, like all the
21:35
Speaker 2: trends that lead stuff to be in front of your
21:38
Speaker 2: face when it's like really realistically, you're not really you.
21:41
Speaker 3: Know, you know, we don't really care about that stuff.
21:45
Speaker 2: But yeah, man, I feel like the whole gist of
21:48
Speaker 2: it even is like like we were talking about, like
21:50
Speaker 2: everything is content nowadays, and it just got so muddied
21:53
Speaker 2: up that it's hard to even be motivated to put
21:57
Speaker 2: it out because you just see so much of it
21:59
Speaker 2: from angle and all the you know what I mean.
22:02
Speaker 3: It's a lot. It's definitely a lot.
22:04
Speaker 4: And they're coming from like somebody who who's created content,
22:08
Speaker 4: like I told me and Gary had a video podcast
22:11
Speaker 4: twenty ten, and we're creating videos and putting videos out
22:15
Speaker 4: Like I was the king of uploading videos on Facebook,
22:18
Speaker 4: a custom home video content videos and it.
22:22
Speaker 5: Was just so much fun.
22:25
Speaker 4: And it wasn't for me to get ad revenue or
22:28
Speaker 4: to get cloud or likes or anything.
22:30
Speaker 5: It was just funny.
22:30
Speaker 4: Like I don't have I don't feel that fun anymore
22:33
Speaker 4: when I post things like, I'm like, I don't even
22:36
Speaker 4: want to post this online anymore.
22:39
Speaker 5: It's sad, man, it's sad.
22:40
Speaker 4: Like and like you said, we are a different generation
22:42
Speaker 4: of content creators now, but you know that everything evolves.
22:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, the way I've been looking at it, bro is like,
22:51
Speaker 2: and it's funny that that Saucewalker interview where he said
22:54
Speaker 2: that thing about he's a rapper on the weekends, Like yeah, yeah,
22:57
Speaker 2: it made me chuckle because it's like that's kind of
23:00
Speaker 2: like what what I'm trying to set up for myself for,
23:03
Speaker 2: Like my businesses are thriving and sustaining me, so I can, like,
23:08
Speaker 2: like the music thing is not even my main thing,
23:11
Speaker 2: but I can give it the focus that it needs,
23:12
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And then it puts you
23:14
Speaker 2: in a different headspace even and kind of going off
23:17
Speaker 2: of what you said you, I feel like it brings
23:19
Speaker 2: that fun back because you're not trying.
23:23
Speaker 3: To make something happen with it, you know what I mean.
23:25
Speaker 2: Like you're not trying to directly parlay your passion into
23:29
Speaker 2: like turning into dollars, you know what I mean, Like
23:32
Speaker 2: the dollars are coming from somewhere else. You have the
23:34
Speaker 2: freedom to say, all right, let me just create freely,
23:37
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
23:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, And like I see so many different people online,
23:42
Speaker 4: like Kim Congon, she's a comedian, you know, and she's
23:47
Speaker 4: a good comedian. She's and she she has a good following,
23:51
Speaker 4: she has good shows and she streams yourself playing video games.
23:53
Speaker 4: Why to get more engaging? Right, the soccer player that
23:58
Speaker 4: I follow in Switzerland, same thing, great soccer player not streaming,
24:03
Speaker 4: stelf playing video games. Another person who like as a
24:06
Speaker 4: bunch of gym workout videos, that gets a lot of
24:09
Speaker 4: traction now they're streaming and stelf playing video games. It's
24:11
Speaker 4: just like you see that that you have to take
24:15
Speaker 4: those avenues in order to grow and keep and keep
24:18
Speaker 4: that growth like not stagnant. And it's sexy you to
24:23
Speaker 4: do that much despite how much you do outside of that. Yeah,
24:27
Speaker 4: you gotta take all that extra thing. And that's why
24:29
Speaker 4: I'm like, if I'm going to do this, I gotta
24:30
Speaker 4: think of what am I gonna do extra for it to.
24:33
Speaker 5: Get that traction the followers. And it's a lot to
24:35
Speaker 5: think about. But I hear you.
24:37
Speaker 4: I hear what you talking about the you know, the
24:38
Speaker 4: advice that Freddy gives you and take that in there thought, Yeah.
24:43
Speaker 5: I definitely will take it too.
24:44
Speaker 6: I just I know for me personally, I just I
24:47
Speaker 6: need a detox, not just from social media but just
24:49
Speaker 6: from social interaction period. Like I just need to like
24:52
Speaker 6: focus on me, focus on weight loss, focused on man
24:56
Speaker 6: I've been busy, you know what i mean with this
24:57
Speaker 6: wedding stuff, and after this wedding, I just need something
25:01
Speaker 6: focused on you know what i mean.
25:03
Speaker 5: That's kind of where I'm at with it. But I
25:05
Speaker 5: do get what you're saying though for.
25:06
Speaker 2: Sure, where Yeah, you just came off like a couple
25:12
Speaker 2: of vacations too, right, So it's like you haven't even
25:14
Speaker 2: been like in the swing of like irregular everyday life
25:17
Speaker 2: and shit like that.
25:18
Speaker 3: So that definitely throws your clock off. Yeah.
25:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like coming right back, you know what I'm saying,
25:25
Speaker 6: And then I'll basically to jump back, you know, not
25:29
Speaker 6: jump back, but basically jump straight into going to the wedding.
25:31
Speaker 6: And so it's like right now, I'm just kind of
25:34
Speaker 6: like and then obviously after all of that and then
25:36
Speaker 6: kind of seeing like things on social media and stuff
25:40
Speaker 6: like that, and like, yeah, I can curate it and
25:41
Speaker 6: make it more what I want, but like, I don't know, bro,
25:44
Speaker 6: Like for me, just I just need a break from it,
25:49
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.
25:50
Speaker 5: That's just me.
25:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely making me feel like I got it in
25:56
Speaker 1: a good place.
25:56
Speaker 5: So that's.
25:59
Speaker 3: Man. That shit works for me perfectly. Man, But I'm
26:02
Speaker 3: not gonna lie.
26:03
Speaker 2: Like I said that shit that Freddy told me was
26:05
Speaker 2: a big component and that like me turning it around
26:08
Speaker 2: because I was kind of in the same place you
26:09
Speaker 2: always got you know what I mean.
26:11
Speaker 4: Well, that's what I mean now is I have not
26:14
Speaker 4: felt that in a long time. Since the last time
26:16
Speaker 4: I felt that. I used to do it a lot,
26:17
Speaker 4: at least once a year. I'm like, I can't take
26:19
Speaker 4: this anymore and get rid of it. Disabled my account.
26:23
Speaker 4: But after my account got deleted, and now I only
26:26
Speaker 4: follow what I want to see and who I want
26:29
Speaker 4: to see and the people that I'm actually friends with.
26:33
Speaker 5: Life changing. Now this is starting my hook.
26:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that that's a big one too.
26:37
Speaker 2: Where you just said like a lot of times we
26:39
Speaker 2: get caught up and like, oh I went to high
26:41
Speaker 2: school with this person.
26:42
Speaker 3: I got to you know what I mean?
26:45
Speaker 2: Oh damn man, we was coworkers in two thousand and nine.
26:48
Speaker 3: Man, I gotta follow you back, you know what I mean?
26:51
Speaker 2: Sometimes these people don't be doing nothing or like the
26:53
Speaker 2: stuff they pos they post just don't align with the
26:55
Speaker 2: stuff you want.
26:57
Speaker 3: Like it ain't it ain't not in personal, bro, this
27:00
Speaker 3: is online.
27:00
Speaker 2: This ain't real life like and I think that's the
27:03
Speaker 2: disconnect that we have specifically with this generation, Like we
27:07
Speaker 2: look at the online stuff like it's a joke, Like
27:09
Speaker 2: we don't look at it as real, Like they look
27:12
Speaker 2: at it as so real because it's the most important
27:14
Speaker 2: and the realistic to them.
27:16
Speaker 5: That's all they got.
27:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's like that's you're already on.
27:19
Speaker 2: Two different planes, you know what I'm saying when you're talking,
27:22
Speaker 2: because y'all not even you're not even like your courtroom
27:26
Speaker 2: is not even on the same planet, you know what
27:28
Speaker 2: I mean?
27:28
Speaker 6: Right now, and I do like a cleanse of my
27:32
Speaker 6: social media product every six months to a year, because
27:35
Speaker 6: I know, throughout every week or two, I'm following something
27:40
Speaker 6: just off of what I saw, you know what I mean,
27:42
Speaker 6: And it might not be something that I actually wanted
27:44
Speaker 6: to follow, but in the moment, I was like, yo,
27:46
Speaker 6: I want to keep up with this.
27:47
Speaker 2: If I ever see you post on Facebook, if you're
27:50
Speaker 2: reading this, it means you made it through my perge.
27:55
Speaker 6: No, I don't do all that, but I definitely definitely, uh,
28:01
Speaker 6: you know, I definitely get the messages like hey man,
28:04
Speaker 6: what happened?
28:04
Speaker 5: I thought we were friends on here.
28:06
Speaker 6: I definitely get those, But now what I was gonna say,
28:09
Speaker 6: was It's funny that we're talking about this because I've
28:10
Speaker 6: been listening to Charlemagne the God's latest book, Get Honest
28:15
Speaker 6: or Die Lion.
28:16
Speaker 5: Why small talk sucks?
28:18
Speaker 6: Hey, man, it's a really good book, man, I like
28:21
Speaker 6: genuinely enjoyed Charlemagne's books.
28:23
Speaker 3: Man of Charlemagne's books for a while.
28:28
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, this and basically he touches on He touches on
28:34
Speaker 6: what we're talking about right now a lot in the book,
28:37
Speaker 6: just from the standpoint of like the way people kind
28:43
Speaker 6: of perceive so not just social media, but just the
28:47
Speaker 6: way that people spend so much time trying to create
28:50
Speaker 6: this fantasy that they don't actually attain it, you know
28:55
Speaker 6: what I mean. It's like they'll go and spend all
29:00
Speaker 6: their last to go take a picture on a balcony
29:03
Speaker 6: and you know, a visa when there's five other people
29:07
Speaker 6: in the room behind them. They're splitting the rent, I mean,
29:10
Speaker 6: not the rent, but the stay. You know, they're sleeping
29:12
Speaker 6: on the couch. Three days later they're going back home
29:16
Speaker 6: to go live in a cot.
29:17
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
29:18
Speaker 6: It's like they do all of this these things to
29:21
Speaker 6: create this this persade or whatever you call a facade.
29:27
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
29:27
Speaker 6: It's like it's just an interesting thing. Man, I really
29:30
Speaker 6: don't understand it. Yeah, I got, I got. I. It's
29:36
Speaker 6: it's not genuine, you know. And that's why I feel
29:39
Speaker 6: is seventy five percent or anything. Like I know people
29:43
Speaker 6: personally who say I did this, I did this, look
29:46
Speaker 6: at me, look at me, Look what I'm doing, Look
29:48
Speaker 6: what I'm doing for other people for this, And it's
29:50
Speaker 6: like it's not really them. They're just part of a
29:52
Speaker 6: group that's doing it right, but there's they're taking full
29:55
Speaker 6: credit for it. And it's so just ingenuine, disingenuine.
30:00
Speaker 3: I know what that word is, but genuous.
30:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's just like damn it's.
30:05
Speaker 2: But it's like the the online like thing is like
30:09
Speaker 2: you're customizable like little journal things, so you're just literally
30:13
Speaker 2: seeing into like people's minds, you know what I mean.
30:15
Speaker 2: It's like whatever, like you said, like whatever little world
30:18
Speaker 2: they want to create, that's what they do, you know.
30:21
Speaker 2: And when somebody does that, and then like I said that,
30:27
Speaker 2: they hold court in that world like that's that's what
30:30
Speaker 2: has value to them. Like it's a whole different generation
30:33
Speaker 2: dog like they live in a whole different world.
30:37
Speaker 5: It's crazy, it's rough.
30:40
Speaker 4: It is a different world, man, and it's but then
30:44
Speaker 4: I do see people, like I said, all the way
30:46
Speaker 4: older than me. Uh, I watched random videos man on YouTube.
30:51
Speaker 5: It's just stupid.
30:52
Speaker 4: We talked about it as before, and I'm like, you know,
30:54
Speaker 4: that's good like it. There's still people out there who
30:56
Speaker 4: are just genuinely making content and there's nothing thing false
31:00
Speaker 4: about it.
31:01
Speaker 5: And I was like, there's still hope.
31:03
Speaker 2: Still facts, facts, And I think that's kind of like
31:06
Speaker 2: the overall gist of like what I was trying to
31:08
Speaker 2: say with like the stuff that Freddy told me is
31:10
Speaker 2: like you really could make it what you what you
31:13
Speaker 2: want it to be, you.
31:14
Speaker 3: Know what I mean. Like, and it's it'd.
31:16
Speaker 2: Be harder, you know what I mean, because like we've
31:18
Speaker 2: like we all know and have said, like when you're
31:21
Speaker 2: not doing what everybody else is doing, you know, it's
31:24
Speaker 2: hard to get the wave.
31:26
Speaker 3: You know.
31:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well I make my last dude, I watch and
31:30
Speaker 4: I love fucking love these videos. He's really good at
31:34
Speaker 4: cutting grass. He finds houses that haven't had the grass
31:37
Speaker 4: cut like in three or four years.
31:40
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I love those videos.
31:43
Speaker 4: I love those videos, and it's it he goes to
31:46
Speaker 4: their house, knocks in the door. You want me to
31:48
Speaker 4: cut the grass. The interaction is super genuine. Everybody's super
31:52
Speaker 4: happy about it. He cuts the grass and he bounces.
31:55
Speaker 4: Next video, and then it's really like calming, like I
32:00
Speaker 4: love the whole waiting for it before and after pictures,
32:04
Speaker 4: like I sit there and wait for them, like yeah, yeah,
32:06
Speaker 4: give me that after pitching.
32:08
Speaker 5: I just love it.
32:09
Speaker 4: I was like, that's great, you found me, and I'm
32:11
Speaker 4: going to watch every single one of those videos.
32:13
Speaker 5: You post man.
32:14
Speaker 2: I found this other dude, and hopefully I can find
32:16
Speaker 2: his page and I'll share it on the ground and
32:19
Speaker 2: page if I remember.
32:19
Speaker 3: But he goes to local basketball courts and renovates them.
32:24
Speaker 2: He'll put a new backboard, a new rim, He'll like
32:27
Speaker 2: fix the surface, you know, if the concrete's bad, he'll
32:30
Speaker 2: repaint it.
32:31
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
32:32
Speaker 2: And then it like started catching on and they started
32:34
Speaker 2: like commissioning him to redo basketball courts like in his area,
32:39
Speaker 2: like he just started. Originally, he just wanted to do
32:41
Speaker 2: like the court that he used to go to, you
32:43
Speaker 2: know what I mean. He just had the idea like
32:46
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just come out of my own pocket and
32:47
Speaker 2: refurbish this court and then like it caught on online
32:50
Speaker 2: and everything, and then like he's I think he's done
32:52
Speaker 2: like more than ten now in like his area.
32:55
Speaker 5: That's fire.
32:56
Speaker 2: And that's like kind of what I'm saying, bro, Like
32:58
Speaker 2: there's like you said, Bro, there's hope out there.
33:01
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, there's those those people still
33:04
Speaker 3: out there dogs.
33:04
Speaker 2: Like that's another thing about online that I don't agree
33:06
Speaker 2: with a lot of people saying, like they say this
33:09
Speaker 2: generation or things have gotten bad or whatever. It's like, nah, bro,
33:12
Speaker 2: we're just seeing inside of everybody's mind all the time.
33:15
Speaker 3: Like we wasn't doing that.
33:16
Speaker 2: Before, Like you just was thinking what you was thinking,
33:19
Speaker 2: and you was wondering what other people was thinking. Now
33:22
Speaker 2: it's not like how it was, you know what I mean,
33:24
Speaker 2: Like now you actually know what other people's thinking.
33:26
Speaker 3: Like you pull out your phone and you pull up.
33:29
Speaker 2: Somebody's stories and they're showing you what they're doing and
33:32
Speaker 2: they're telling you what they're thinking.
33:33
Speaker 3: Bro. It's like a double whammy. So we're in just
33:37
Speaker 3: in different times.
33:38
Speaker 2: But I say that to say this, like there's still
33:41
Speaker 2: the same amount of good people as bad people, you
33:42
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's just you might be clouded
33:46
Speaker 2: by the bad, and you might be overwhelmed with the
33:49
Speaker 2: thought that there's a lot more bad than good, you
33:53
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
33:53
Speaker 5: And I don't want to get drowned. I don't want
33:55
Speaker 5: my car to get drowned out in that.
33:56
Speaker 3: Shit, you know exactly.
33:58
Speaker 2: And it's like once you once you like pinpointed, once
34:01
Speaker 2: you you know, hit the sniper scope and you're like
34:03
Speaker 2: zoomed into what you need to be on and you
34:06
Speaker 2: find those people that are in that space, that's when
34:08
Speaker 2: it like takes off, you know what I mean, That's
34:10
Speaker 2: when it hits different for you.
34:14
Speaker 5: Yeah.
34:16
Speaker 6: There was one part in the book, uh that Charlemagne
34:20
Speaker 6: basically said, somebody asked him.
34:26
Speaker 5: You said, are are we dumber now? Or are we?
34:32
Speaker 6: Were we dumber you know before we had technology, you know,
34:36
Speaker 6: and you know, basically way back when he said, well,
34:42
Speaker 6: if you think about it, you know, yeah, we're dumber now.
34:47
Speaker 6: And the reason why is because we have the technology
34:51
Speaker 6: and the ability to do better, but we choose not to.
34:55
Speaker 5: Yeah.
34:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, to me, I kind of feel like it's just
34:59
Speaker 2: a thing of everything is so easy and accessible that
35:02
Speaker 2: it's not necessarily that we're dumb er, we're just not
35:05
Speaker 2: doing things that we used to need to do, you
35:07
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like you're not You're just not
35:11
Speaker 2: having those experiences anymore. So I feel like we're a
35:16
Speaker 2: lot less emotionally mature, you know what I mean. Like
35:20
Speaker 2: the fact that things have been so easy for all
35:22
Speaker 2: of us generally is kind of like a thing that
35:25
Speaker 2: kind of regressed us, you know.
35:27
Speaker 6: Well, so from he's saying it from a standpoint of
35:30
Speaker 6: if you think about it, like where where the things
35:35
Speaker 6: that people are concerned with?
35:36
Speaker 5: Now?
35:37
Speaker 6: You know what I mean, Like we don't concern ourselves
35:40
Speaker 6: with things that matter, you know what I mean, Like
35:44
Speaker 6: look at how politics have gone simply because of of
35:48
Speaker 6: course they're gonna attack whatever we're concerned with. You know
35:53
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, What are the people worried about? What
35:55
Speaker 6: are what can we do to get their vote? And
35:59
Speaker 6: that will tell you you where we are?
36:01
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
36:03
Speaker 6: And so that's what he's saying, is that like we
36:05
Speaker 6: have the ability to know more, but we choose not to.
36:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, like ignorance is bliss kind of thing.
36:14
Speaker 6: Is exactly like we have people, we have the access
36:17
Speaker 6: to people. Yeah, exactly, It's like that's what I'm saying.
36:20
Speaker 2: It's like, that's what he's saying, that people are dumber
36:22
Speaker 2: because they're just choosing to be ignorant.
36:24
Speaker 5: The're choosing to be ignorant exactly.
36:26
Speaker 6: He's saying that, like, you know, we have the potential,
36:29
Speaker 6: like literally, right now, all three of us can pull
36:31
Speaker 6: out our phone and be like, you know, what's causing
36:33
Speaker 6: global warming?
36:34
Speaker 5: And we can have the answer in three seconds.
36:36
Speaker 6: But instead most of us are looking up why you know,
36:40
Speaker 6: Cardi B And Offset have getting a divorce, you know
36:44
Speaker 6: what I'm saying.
36:44
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. By as far.
36:46
Speaker 6: As like yeah, you know, we have the potential to
36:51
Speaker 6: be worried about the things that matter, but we don't.
36:54
Speaker 2: I think that kind of goes back to what I
36:55
Speaker 2: was saying, like I don't think there's like more dumb
36:58
Speaker 2: people than before.
37:00
Speaker 3: They're just magnified, you know what I mean.
37:02
Speaker 1: Like dumb people are louder, you know what I'm saying.
37:04
Speaker 2: Even just when you would go to the grocery store
37:06
Speaker 2: as a kid, like usually the person that was screaming
37:09
Speaker 2: or or the person that was like grabbing your attention,
37:12
Speaker 2: wasn't somebody necessarily that you were like, wow, they look
37:15
Speaker 2: pretty smart or something, you know what I mean, Like
37:17
Speaker 2: usually the person that's grabbing your attention at a grocery
37:20
Speaker 2: store or somebody that's doing something dumb.
37:23
Speaker 3: And I think that's just kind of the same online.
37:25
Speaker 2: Like the people that are gonna say the most ignorant
37:28
Speaker 2: stuff are going to say it the loudest because they're
37:31
Speaker 2: ignorant to what they're saying, you know what I mean.
37:34
Speaker 2: Like I've like it's like when you have a conversation
37:37
Speaker 2: with somebody and you can tell like they don't even understand,
37:40
Speaker 2: like they don't even grasp the concept of what they're
37:42
Speaker 2: even talking about, but they're talking about it with confidence,
37:45
Speaker 2: you know, Like you have those conversations with people sometimes
37:48
Speaker 2: where you're like, brouh, you have no experience with this
37:52
Speaker 2: thing that you're talking about, but you're saying it like
37:55
Speaker 2: there's no way that anything opposite of what you're saying
37:59
Speaker 2: could be true, you know what I mean. It's like
38:00
Speaker 2: the same way people talk about like how it's not
38:04
Speaker 2: that hard to grow up in the hood just to
38:06
Speaker 2: avoid this, just avoid that, and then they grew up
38:08
Speaker 2: in a house their whole life, you know what I mean.
38:11
Speaker 2: It's like, bro, if you don't got no type of
38:14
Speaker 2: You don't got no type of backbone here to even
38:17
Speaker 2: give your opinion. You don't even know nothing about this,
38:20
Speaker 2: but you're talking about it like you would have different
38:23
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you can I'm real
38:25
Speaker 2: big on. I can't speak for anybody what I would
38:29
Speaker 2: have done in their shoes, because nobody's lived the same.
38:32
Speaker 3: Life, you know what i mean, Like with that stuff
38:34
Speaker 3: from the same lens.
38:35
Speaker 2: Like even whoever you could think of is like they
38:40
Speaker 2: in their head, they're.
38:41
Speaker 3: Justifying why they're doing what they're doing, you know what
38:43
Speaker 3: I mean. It's like you can't touch that. That's that,
38:46
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.
38:49
Speaker 2: But that's just like I don't know, I just have
38:52
Speaker 2: an outlook. I never had an outlook that like there's a.
38:55
Speaker 3: Lot of smart people out here.
39:00
Speaker 2: Been like there's a lot of idiots, bro, That's just
39:03
Speaker 2: it's been tried and true. I've been in rooms with
39:05
Speaker 2: a lot of people, you know, going back to when
39:08
Speaker 2: you're in school, like where a lot of people don't
39:10
Speaker 2: understand something.
39:12
Speaker 3: Wow, Like they're like.
39:15
Speaker 2: Five of them maybe understand what's going on, you know
39:18
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's like that ratio has just carried.
39:21
Speaker 3: On, like you know, like throughout the rest of your life.
39:28
Speaker 2: You wonder where these people come from like that, dude,
39:31
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like you'll see certain advertisements
39:34
Speaker 2: or you'll see like you sequence like Cardi being offset
39:37
Speaker 2: and you're.
39:38
Speaker 3: Like, dang, who who is paying attention to this? There's
39:44
Speaker 3: mad people paying attention to that?
39:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, there is. That's the thing that sucks, you know.
39:48
Speaker 1: What I mean, Like you would you would think not
39:50
Speaker 1: there's not that many people.
39:51
Speaker 2: But nah, bro, mad people click the Cardi b a
39:54
Speaker 2: link before the one that said nuclear war is imminent.
39:58
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
40:00
Speaker 2: Fact government fund evidence of UFOs and they talk about
40:03
Speaker 2: it and a hearing, but you know they're trying to see,
40:07
Speaker 2: you know, who made the stallion this this week, you
40:09
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
40:10
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of people.
40:12
Speaker 4: That well, Quincy with the whole Space Force, it's like
40:16
Speaker 4: that was happening right during COVID, but everybody was clicking
40:21
Speaker 4: every fucking thing else about COVID and the and the
40:24
Speaker 4: vaccines and all this shit that that nobody was clicking
40:28
Speaker 4: anything there. And that's what they're like perfect time.
40:30
Speaker 6: In fact Spaceforce, bro, because Space Force they basically just
40:34
Speaker 6: like announced Taylor, like like you know what I mean,
40:37
Speaker 6: that's crazy.
40:38
Speaker 5: That's like a big deal, bro, and it just went
40:41
Speaker 5: under the road.
40:43
Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember when it came out. Trump.
40:47
Speaker 2: I mean, you know when he was president, he had
40:49
Speaker 2: a lot of crazy stuff he said. But I remember
40:52
Speaker 2: when he talked about that. It was pretty funny.
40:54
Speaker 3: Man like him. You know, the Trump is about.
40:59
Speaker 2: Space, very that video was very funny, very fun.
41:09
Speaker 5: Yeah. You heard about.
41:11
Speaker 1: About Boeing messing up in space as well.
41:14
Speaker 3: M M bruh.
41:16
Speaker 2: So like the little transporter vehicle that was supposed to
41:21
Speaker 2: transport some people that went to the space station off
41:25
Speaker 2: of it to come back to Earth. It was a
41:27
Speaker 2: Boeing one and it messed up, and it hasn't been
41:30
Speaker 2: able to transport them off the space that.
41:34
Speaker 3: Long, and now.
41:35
Speaker 1: There's they were supposed to be there, I believe like
41:37
Speaker 1: a month or sixty days.
41:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think because the battery runs out out of
41:42
Speaker 4: forty five days or something and they haven't been.
41:44
Speaker 1: Able to they're gonna have to be there until next year.
41:46
Speaker 2: Bro. What they stranded on the space station because the
41:50
Speaker 2: Boeing transporters malfunctioned, so they're stuck for mad months, bro.

Speaker 1: They might end up being there a year and space
42:00
Speaker 1: trapped dog.

Speaker 2: When they did the interview, like they had like a
42:05
