  Speaker 1: If you go on to that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Radio station, you'll hear Booker T call the action, which

  Speaker 2: is pretty dope. Like growing up with Booker T and
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and seeing them as a kid and everything.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all the stuff in and out integrating with ESPN,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Like you see all these wrestlers on like seth Rowlins
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: doing like Sports Center in the morning or something.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Dan Housen was all over that NIXT run, you know
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: what I mean.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Like that was like kind of like it was crazy
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: timing for him too, but like he was there right
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: when they were having trouble in that first round series.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: He was on Sports Center and he was just doing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: his kind of stick and was like he cursed them
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: they were having trouble in the series, and then he
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: told Steven A. Smith he was gonna uncourage them, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: then they had the run that they had, So that
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: opened up like that partnership between WW and the Knicks.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I know he made crazy bank at run right there. Bro, Like,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that's another thing people are like complaining about now, like
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: saying like they're overdoing it with Dan Housen. But it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: like it's just a joke, Like you know what I mean.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You take it for what it is. You don't watch
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: them and think like, oh, this is the same as
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: like watching brock lesson or something.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: He's trying to expand their content, just give something different,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: and he's actually funny to the point of view, I.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Don't be liking the comedy they do usually, but he
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: actually be doing some funny stuff.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Man, that's funny. Were speaking of.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Brock lesser Man just officially retired officially this time after
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: it looked like he was going to retire after WrestleMania
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: he left his boots in the middle of the ring.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: He said in an interview, like t take it for
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: what it is worth. He said that after he got
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: power bomb by Obafemi, he really felt like he was done,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Like he was like, yo, I can't take this no more,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and that's why he like retired. But then he ended
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: up staying for like a couple more matches. But supposedly
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: that that slam that he took in that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he has health issues and I knowing that
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that was bothering him and there's only so many slams
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: he can take from over Femi. But it's time, like,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you know, actually lifting his hand up and like showing like, hey,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: it's you now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that it looks like it is. Officially,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he was.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: On the Pat McAfee show and he's like, yeah, man,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I'm forty nine, Bro, it's about that time. And when
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: you think about it, bro, like Geah slam forty nine,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: like especially however, he is like almost three hundred pounds himself.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Bro. Like it's different when you lighten, you get slam.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But if you like gravity, three hundred pounds of gravity,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that's insane, man.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: But it's crazy because brouck Leslie retired, Randy Oron came
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: back and it's like, damn Randy Orang is like the
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: last one like that that generation.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of He's like pretty much the oldest VET
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much because he was like just bursting on
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: the scene like early two thousands when like Triple A's
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the rock, all of them was in their heyday, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: the last run of like stone Cold.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: That was like Randy Oron is like.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: First year in the W so it was like he, Bro,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: he's been around, like he's he feels more like a
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: vet too because of who.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: He interacted with, you know what I mean.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't think his performance has declined that much
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: though since.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yo, this is random, but I've always felt like the
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: best comparison for Randy Orton is Team Mac because you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: because they both have back problems, bro, and they both
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: like were affected like where you're like what if? Because
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: t Mac and Randy Orton have always had like long
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: histories of injuries and a bad times, you know what
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I think he was able to come back from that,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: unlike was able to come back.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: It's also because like WW is pre pre written, you know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: it's easier to kind of like work around it. But like,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: for example, like Team Mac was having back issues in
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the playoffs one year, and I remember he was like
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: super mad, like talking to the reporters and stuff like yo.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Y'all think I'm just like, oh, I don't want.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: To play today, Like you know what I'm saying, Like
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: my back is messed up, Like I can't do anything
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: about it, you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Know, and.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: If I definitely felt that, you know, just living in
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Orlando at the time and seeing like, damn, we're not
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: gonna have Team AC.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Tonight, that that Tea mac Era was was fun to watch. Yeah,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he was. He was definitely something special. Man. He was
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a hooper. He was a super hooper.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Hooper, man, like, one of the things that's
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: been like taking a lot of my time has been coaching.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I'm coaching my son's basketball.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Team at the Y, and man, we just had like
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a real like special season this time.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: You know, like all the kids were really locked.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: In the team we played in the first game they
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: beat us by like four first game we played them
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs for third place. Last game, which was
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: this past Saturday, and we stomped them.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Like, we were up about like twenty something at one point.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how much we ended up winning
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: by it because like by the fourth quarter, like we
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: were just trying to get all the kids to spot,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, because it was like already
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: like out of hand type thing. And it's just like, dang, bro,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: like seeing that change from like the beginning of the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: season to the end of the season. It was like
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: mad rewarding and like a lot of the parents want
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: some of the kids to keep working with me, so
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: like we're going to start running like little scrimmages and
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: A recreational league, right, yeah, it's so it's just the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: wide league, the.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: One it's good like you treated like a development league
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: actually showing these kids how to get better.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And that's that's what it is. Like the why it
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: is like a development league. Some parents be like so
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: od and like trying to get all these ask all
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: these basketball questions when it's like, bro, like this is
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: a participation league.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Like everybody plays the same amount of playing time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of kids here that have never played basketball.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: So like you got to kind of take take it
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: from what it is. You know, it averages out to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: like a little more than ten bucks a game, like
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: what you pay.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Because there's these leagues out there, the.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Extra development leagues where they have like you know, professional
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: jerseys and practice and scrimmages and all that.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: That costs a lot of money. It costs a lot
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: of money. And if your kid is sorry he's not playing,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: oh yeah yeah, yeah, you got you gotta.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Try to be paying the same amount as everybody else,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: doing the same amount of travel to see your kid.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: On the venet the whole time.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: That's rough, Like at least after why they all get
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: in the egual amount of playing. Again, it's not no
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: aau and you're not gonna be on no highlight reel,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying on ESPN. But you know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: you're getting real in game practice.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: You learn how to play, you know what I'm saying.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Like it's basically like a scrimmage even though it's a game,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it's like something it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: easy to like not take it too serious, you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Like it's like I.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Say, back up, is he going to keep playing? Yeah?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: He plays every he plays every season. He's like I said,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it's just good practice, you know, just he's going to
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: start up. You're going to try to try out to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: this year he's an eighth try out for the team,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: and then you know obviously ninth and tenth and everything.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Keep doing it and giving those reps and sets during
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: these YMCA leagues. It keeps them, you know, agile and
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: make sure he doesn't get rusty.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And it's like I've been like drilling in his head Ayo,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: It's like you gotta put the work in, bro. Like
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that's the difference between somebody that's like nice and somebody that's.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Like for real, legit, real.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Deal and you push them like like Jennen Brunson, Dad, I'll.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Be so like like when he was a little bit younger,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I was a little more relaxed about it because I
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: was like, he's still a kid too, so like you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: but now he just turned thirteen, and now it was
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: like a different conversation, you know what I mean.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: And you know, getting him to understand like.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: What it means to be like the leader of the team,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: how to set the tone and everything.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more than just about playing basketball. So it's
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the attitude, the leadership, setting a standard and you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: showing discipline so the other teammates can follow too.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And like a big thing.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: One thing I'm big on, bro, is like you can't
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: tell you people.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: To do something if they don't see you doing it,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Like that, I've always like operated like that, like I
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: will never ask somebody to do something that they don't
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: know for sure that I know to do and I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: could do it, you know what I mean, and I've
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: done it, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's like
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: you gotta especially with basketball, bro, Like when you're on
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: the court, if you know the basketball is never coming
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: to you, you play a different way because if you
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: know that you're never going to get a chance to score,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna play with the same intensity as if
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: you know, oh, let me be ready because the ball
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: could come my way, you know what I'm saying, And
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: like understanding, Like it's a funny thing, man, Like you're
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: not going to score as many points if you don't
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: get your team going because they're just going to focus
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on you. And it's kind of like that's the same
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: way it is in life. I involved people be like
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: hoarding skills and hoarding knowledge and stuff like, oh, only
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: I can make money with this, and then at the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: end of the day, they're making less money because they're
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: not locking in, you know what I'm saying, Like, if
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you're not locking in with people, like they're consistently going
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: to go to you for stuff, you're just trying to be.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Like the gatekeeper of everything that allows them to get
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: lazy too, exactly, and they just depend on you, Like, hey,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: you're not. You're not showing me. You're not showing me
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: what we need to do out here as a team.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: You're just doing your own thing out there and letting
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: you do it. I'm just out here because we need
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: five people on the court exactly exactly, Bro.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: And it's like every I mean, it's something that we
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: talk about all the time, Bro, Like everything at the
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: end of the day revolves around the same thing, like
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the consistency, Like there's no that's like the boring thing
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: about getting great at something, Like people think Steph Curry
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: did something like out of this world to get as
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: good as he did, Like no, he just shot hundreds
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: of thousands of times every day, Like that's all.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: It was, like he don't, he don't got no kind
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of nothing.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Like I have a little theory of like, you know,
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: just kids that grow up around like NBA size courts,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: they get a good feel for it from an early age.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: So definitely that could be some of it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: But there's so many NBA kids that are not Steph Curry,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And it's just like, Bro,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: if you're put the same thing with Ray Allen, Bro,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: people used to always be like, man, how does Ray
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Allen bro maybe because he's here four hours early and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: putting up two.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Thousand shots before the game. So I was watching.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: I was watching the replay today of the gold medal
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Olympic game, and I'll start Steph Curry went off at
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the end with those five threes, even at two people,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: hands up off balance and still made the shot. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: they're like, you know, players won't shoot that, and if
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: they do, you're going to ask them why do you
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: shoot that? But with him because of how he shoots,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: and you know it's gonna go win.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: And it did.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: And now I see LaMelo ball clips and I always
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: enjoyed watching him, and he said, they show him he's
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: in the gym throwing.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Up like thirty thousand shots just NonStop. That kid is
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a hooper. Man.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to see, uh, see how how this works
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: out in Minnesota. Like I heard the coach talking the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: other day, I think when when camp opened, the interviewed
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: him me and he was just kind of speaking on
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: his vision of how they'll run the team, and like
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: one of the things he said is like basically they
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: see having LaMelo unlocking at his true position because now
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: he don't got to beat the point guard anymore. And
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm like, you know what, that does sound kind of interesting, Man,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: that does sound kind of interesting.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch a lot more of those games.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he was saying that he feels like LaMelo
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: is going to unlock Rudy Gobert's offensive game, and it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: like he's he's he improved last year a lot, I
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: mean last year in the playoffs, like he really shook
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: off a lot of that.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a good joke. They already had a
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: good team. Now they're going to get better.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Man, next next year in the NBA, there's so many
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: good teams.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be insane. Man. I love man.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: The last few years have been so enjoyable in the NBA,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and it's just a lot of bast year is going
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to be another one of those, you know what I mean,

  Speaker 3: because like it's not everybody. I'm like, but okay, these
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: people are here to hear the music that that we're promoting.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a nineties, two thousands R and B vibe.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: They can't here for the music now.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: But even if you people like the people at the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: bar and stuff, they get super into it too, the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: people and.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: The people outside.

• 16:08
  Speaker 3: And we're getting better at it, and like I'm.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Excited for this second night.

  Speaker 3: You know, it could be the same crowd or Latin
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: crowd or different crowd, whatever it may be.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: We're going to bring the same type of quality.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: The people that come on Thursday, pull up on.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, pull up there.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: If you come last Thursday, come second Thursdays, it's gonna
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: be in the same vibes, just a.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Little bit different soundtrack. But that's you know how it's
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: only different.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Back in the day in my neighborhood, bro, all the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: black dudes and all the regged tho. Yeah, everybody knew.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Everybody knew everything. We was all just.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Vibing to Daddy Yankee. Though I didn't even like reggae
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: thro My homies was like, you know what I'm saying, going.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Crazy it, Yeah, it was going because it's energy.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Is good energy music. You know, as long as you
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: can feel, you don't have to understand what it is.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: It's like Quincy is a big he knows a lot
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: of regged throes now and now you know some of
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: the world. I was from the neighborhood, But that's how
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: he recognizes. He doesn't have to understand what it means nothing.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: That was a whole bad bunny thing. That was a
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: controversy it's like, oh, I'm not I don't I don't
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: know Spanish, I'm not gonnderstand. But that was the hell
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: of a performed music as a vibe, Man, music is
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: you know, it's US international language.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: It's funny how like how much music has been devalued,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: but at the same time it's still such a big deal.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: You feel what I'm saying. It's like people kind of.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Like like dismiss it nowadays, but then somebody like Bad
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Bunny's gonna perform at the super Bowl and everybody goes insane, and.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: It's kind of like, that's why I like the vibe
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: we promote because I'm not a club DJ.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not there to do blends and drops and build.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Ups, and I'm there to keep a consistent vibe and
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: just consistent thing. So it's like, Okay, I enjoyed myself
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: on the second I got there to the second I left,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: and I don't want to break that vibe the whole
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: entire time.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: And that's our approach for why we do these things. Yeah,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: hell yeah, Man.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Just the invents in general, man has been a thing
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that has been really exciting and real dope to kind
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: of build up and it's exciting to keep expanding that,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, We've talked you and aj
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I have talked about doing like little events here and stuff.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying at the studio a little
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: like private events and small groups doing different things. So
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: we're definitely gonna start, you know, getting a move on
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: on that kind of stuff, because, like I said, man
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: like like we've been talking about lately too, just like
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: how physical stuff has really been getting to a point
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: where it's like super necessary and it's not like how
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it was before, where like everybody's like, like the online
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: thing is kind of wearing off. I feel like I'm saying,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: like people are starting to I think that was social
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: media that was big.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: COVID made it blow up so much because people that's
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: all people had and you couldn't be interactive physically around
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: other people because of COVID. So alle remember like the
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: online djaning, the live streams all that, and I want
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: to get into that, and.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I don't want to do that. I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't think people are staying home
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: like that anymore.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: So that's why and I love how we have these
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: ideas and it makes sense to us, and we take
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: our time to make sure that exist the right idea.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Because we talked about events for a while, matter of facts,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: and then we started and we're like, this is what
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: we were talking about. You know, it's not you know,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: instant kind of we think of an idea and we're
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: doing it the next week. It's like, no, we think
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: of an idea, we kind of master it. We think
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: of all aspects of it and say this is going
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to fit, this is going to work, and then once
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: we executed it, it worked perfect.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And it's like it's one of those things too, Bro,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: that I feel like what a lot of people miss
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: when they try things is that people that know them
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: are watching them.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And seeing the follow through as well. Yeah.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: So if somebody sees you start something twelve times a
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: year and never sees.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Any follow through, they're not gonna anything that you do.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna care.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: That's why every time, like whenever I'm doing something like bro,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: if I'm that's why, like I talked about it, we're
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Richie that time that we had him on the pot
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: that you wasn't here, he's like, yo, if he if
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: he rocks with you, he shares everything. Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that me. I'm gonna share it if
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it's something that I can get the same. That's a
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: great point. And there's so many people.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: That I know that I follow who are starting certain
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: CONDI creation or creativity kind of creation type of things, right,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: And they're like, Oh, it's funny how strangers like comment repost.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: But my friends that I've known forever don't like Listen,
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I've just seen you start doing this. I don't know
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: where it's going. I'm not gonna just repost it because
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: it's you and I know you.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I wanted this.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: I want this to become something I enjoy watching. And
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: if it doesn't become that, and if it just stops.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And if it doesn't hit, it doesn't hit, it doesn't hit.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: That's like something we always talk about on the pod too.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: But it's always good to mention, like whatever you decided
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: to do, everybody around you didn't.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Sign up to be a fan of. Yeah, that's true.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So it's like you have to start knowing.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: That from the beginning, Like I'm not doing this so
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: the twenty people around me start worshiping me or something,
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like, I'm doing this to
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: reach the people that I'm gonna reach with what I'm doing.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: When we met, I told you off the back, before
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: the podcast, before anything, I said, Hey, you make the
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: type of music that I always love to listen to,
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the type of r and be kind of vibe that
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I've always enjoyed. So that way, when you put songs
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: on that I enjoy, I repost them because I truly
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: enjoy them. And then you know, you make some songs
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: out of love and I tell you the truth, like
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's not one of the.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Songs I love. And the funny thing too, is like
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I've seen.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: How people react to like other artists, like when somebody
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: tells them they don't rock with something, or even artists
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: that I know, if I tell them I'm don'na rock
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: with something, the way they react and stuff, and it's like, Bro,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: everybody's not gonna like everything.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Bro, Like it's not.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: If I was being fake, I'd reap every single thing
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: you did. But I repost my favorite ones and there's
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: a lot of them, and as.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Simple as that. And if the other people who I follow.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Who make music make music that I really really like,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: I'll repost it. But if you make something and I'm like,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: that's not really up up my aliao. It's not something
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I reposted just because you're a friend and I've known you.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: I'm just that's not part of the content I repost.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like people have to take the challenge of
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: breaking through. That's the thing that people don't like to do.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: They don't like to take the challenge of breaking through
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: and like making people feel what they're doing, you know
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: I've been doing podcasts, you know now us we've been
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: doing what we're going on three years, four years now, Yeah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: something like that, right, And then I did it for
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: myself back in twenty seventeen for a year. None of
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: my closest friends watch or reposters, and I.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Just don't talk to them about it. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And I have other friends who watch repost comment those
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: are the people who I'm engaging with for this.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: There'd be certain people that I pull up on them
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: and they just want to talk to me about different
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: clips that they've seen, and then you posted this, yeah,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: and I think that, like and it's like, bro, like
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: they just want to talk about that the whole time,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: and the same.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Like you said, you talk to somebody and they'll bring.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Something up that you like, Dan, you don't you really
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: don't keep anything that they're doing.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Is like we did that already, whatever the case is,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you know what I.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Mean, Like you should talk Oh you talk about like this, man,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: the one time you should talk about this, Like yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: we've had like four or five episodes about that already.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: But facts, I appreciate the input. And it's funny, man.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Just just like anything else in life, bro, Like you
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: do what you do, like and keep it, keep it
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: pushing for the people you do it for, and like
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: have a clear vision and you just do that and
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: That does the same thing in life too. You know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I'm going through a phase. I'm reevaluating a lot of
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: habits you know that I've developed over time, you know,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: turning forty two. I think every new year you realize
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: more about yourself. And I tell my wife all the time,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: there's certain changes I want to make and certain things
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I want to do that there's I know, the people
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: that I don't want to talk to about. Yeah, you
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: know they don't they're not going to understand this. They
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: don't view it like that. So I'm just not going
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: to voice these changes in this approach that I'm taking
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: to things. So it's not like I'm hiding it from
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: people on the line. But there's some things that I
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: can't I know, I can't talk to certain people about
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: and if we bring it up, we bring it up.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: But there's certain people like I won't bother talking to
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: them about certain topics.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: You know, it'd be crazy sometimes, like.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Just like when you see certain things in people whereas
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: like it's destructive and you just see that they're dedicated
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: to never addressing it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: And then it's like once you start like.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Realizing that and like getting past all that stuff, because like, man,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I always been the type of person that feels like
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: problems just like most of the time problems you create them,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Obviously, life throws you this
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and that, but like if you're operating at a level where.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Like you're on a good path, you can.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Handle your problems because they're never going to be to
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: that degree that you can't handle it because you're living right,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: you feel what I'm saying, Like the people that get
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: the crazy problems, crazy problems come from from acting crazy.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, what I'm saying, Like, you.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Don't get it, Like somebody that's just like, you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: going to and like just for example, somebody that's going
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: straight to them from work is not getting like a
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: stalker chick or something. The person who's getting a stocker
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: chick is the one that entertained them on the.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Sw Oh yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: You can't you can't be half into something and then
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: it starts going off the rails and you're like, whoa.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: This is not what I'm on. You know what I mean?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Like that's what that is what you're on.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: You just got the consequence of what you on and
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you didn't like it, you know what I'm saying.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like life experiences too, right, Like, if there's something
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: that I think is an issue, it's probably because I
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: went through life experience since that made it an issue.
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: And other people have never gone through that, so they
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: don't they're like, what's wrong with that? You know, there's
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: nothing wrong with that. But to me, the way I
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: look at it and what I've been through, I'm like, nah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: this is.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Something that I got to fix about myself.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I got to change it by myself, you know, make
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: better about myself just to be a better person for me,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: for my wife, my friends, my family. And that's the
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: kind of mindset that, like I said, as I get older,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I'm starting to believe more, yeah, in facts, because I
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: could say this ten years ago. I didn't believe it,
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: but now I'm starting to believe more.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I'm big on, like I'm not big on advice, but
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I'm big on like telling people to.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Like listen to that right part inside. You know what
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, Just.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: The way people operate is like all you gotta do
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: is listen to that voice in your head and listen
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: to it, like genuinely listen to it, and you be
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: all right, Like I can. I don't, like I said,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I don't like giving advice. Everybody is so different, everybody
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: different habits, everything is like all over the place. But
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: it's like the one thing I know is like just
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: listen to reason, bro, Like if you listen to reason,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be all right. You know what you shouldn't
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: be doing, Like it's like everybody knows it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: You know it's not good for you exactly, bro. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: it's not what people shouldn't be doing.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: You need to know what's.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Not good for you exactly, and if it's not good
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: for you, work on ways to improve. For example, like
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: we'll kind of wrap up with this.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: All of a sudden.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Lately, like a big thing has been like weed talk,
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: like people saying they stop they stop smoking weed, and
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: their life has improved drastically, this, this and that, and
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: it's like cool, that's cool for you, you know what
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. But it's like somebody like me that I
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: started smoking because of like a physical pain type thing.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It's not the same as what you're talking about. You're
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: talking about your mental dependency.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: And how it was affecting you day to day and
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: you started being lazy, X, Y and.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Z, And that's for me.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Your life has never declined, so there's no need to
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: improve exactly. So you don't have to find it so
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: that that cookie cutter option doesn't fit with me.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: And you got to just be smart enough to know like, Okay,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: am I doing this too much?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Am I not? Like? Know where it's taking you, where
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: what's happening, And.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Then you can just kind of lead it from Yeah,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: you know, I I smoked my whole life and I
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: stopped because of work.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: That was that was the reason but if I, if I,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't required.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: For my job, then I probably would have continued on it.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: It never declined my life in any way the facts.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: But yeah, man, we'll.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Kind of wrap up with that and we'll be back
