- 2:58Speaker 3: That's movie.
- 3:02Speaker 1: In d C.

- 3:05Speaker 1: I mean, y'all.

- 3:10Speaker 5: that monsoon up here the other day. We all almost
- 3:12Speaker 5: didn't get in. Y'all had in the arms of the angel.
- 3:16Speaker 5: Y'all was struggling up here the other day.
- 3:19Speaker 3: How do y'all like? Y'all y'all still being on the road?
- 3:20Speaker 4: Absolutely, okay, absolutely, that's just the road is where set
- 3:25Speaker 4: isn't entertainer, bro, you don't have to be at home,
- 3:27Speaker 4: people giving you chicks, eating good food, fine women.
- 3:32Speaker 8: What's the favorite city? I know it's different for both
- 3:34Speaker 8: of y'all's favorite cities.
- 3:35Speaker 5: The hit Well, no, I don't, I mean whatever, Yeah exactly,
- 3:41Speaker 5: I mean I love Detroit, I love Chicago. I mean
- 3:44Speaker 5: you know, you know, when you travel, you go to
- 3:46Speaker 5: different places and you get responses from people that make
- 3:48Speaker 5: you love the city for different things. But to answer
- 3:51Speaker 5: your question, Chela Maine, Like it's being on the road
- 3:54Speaker 5: is the blessing. Like I always tell people, you can't
- 3:55Speaker 5: complain about the blessings God give you because if you
- 3:57Speaker 5: didn't have it, that's what you would be asking for.
- 3:59Speaker 5: You to be on the road all the time. So
- 4:01Speaker 5: gotta love it because you get to do what you
- 4:03Speaker 5: love and you get paid for it.
- 4:04Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing.
- 4:05Speaker 11: How a material when you're always on the road, like
- 4:07Speaker 11: y'all always out, whether it's together, whether it's a part,
- 4:10Speaker 11: whether it's wild I'm out, whether you like, y'all always
- 4:12Speaker 11: on the road.
- 4:13Speaker 2: So how do y'all work on material?
- 4:15Speaker 5: I mean, because you always on the road, you see things,
- 4:17Speaker 5: You see different things, You see different perspectives.
- 4:18Speaker 1: When you go to different cities. You know, you perform everywhere.
- 4:21Speaker 5: Everywhere you go, they got different cultures and different ways
- 4:23Speaker 5: of doing things. So you get to visualize all of
- 4:26Speaker 5: that and it goes into your stage show because when
- 4:28Speaker 5: you're performing for people, they want to hear your perspective
- 4:31Speaker 5: on their everyday life and you get to see that
- 4:32Speaker 5: when you're on the road.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So that's the best part about it.
- 4:34Speaker 7: Plus, when you're in different cities, you only get You're
- 4:37Speaker 7: only there for a certain amount of time, so you
- 4:39Speaker 7: don't get to see everything. So every time you come
- 4:41Speaker 7: back it's still it's still new.
- 4:43Speaker 6: And then the tour that y'all doing to spend a
- 4:45Speaker 6: black tour, that's y'all going back to the cities that
- 4:48Speaker 6: shows y'all the most love.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It's kind of most loved.
- 4:51Speaker 7: Places we had fun and places we just wanted to
- 4:54Speaker 7: go back. Sometimes it's not just about the show. It's
- 4:57Speaker 7: like sometimes the venue be hitting different and we you know,
- 5:01Speaker 7: since we're growing with the performance, some of these places
- 5:04Speaker 7: we were like, yeah, we definitely got to come back,
- 5:06Speaker 7: if nothing else, just because we like to set up
- 5:08Speaker 7: in there.
- 5:09Speaker 11: Now they're doing big venues, do y'all prefer the smaller
- 5:12Speaker 11: venues because it's more in touch with people, But y'all
- 5:14Speaker 11: hop on the crowd at times, like y'all touch the people.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Yeah, But that's the good part about us is we
- 5:19Speaker 5: have already performed for these people in those intimate settings,
- 5:21Speaker 5: so they used to seeing us that way. So it
- 5:24Speaker 5: kind of still feels the same even though we in
- 5:25Speaker 5: an arena, because people still react the same way. They'll
- 5:28Speaker 5: come to the front to make sure that we see
- 5:30Speaker 5: them more. We'll be able to recognize somebody that came
- 5:32Speaker 5: to the comedy show when we was doing it at
- 5:34Speaker 5: the comedy club and have those recollections to be able
- 5:37Speaker 5: to do those type of things in an arena. So
- 5:39Speaker 5: it just hit the same for us. And that's one
- 5:40Speaker 5: of the good parts about what we do because it's
- 5:42Speaker 5: always a different show. It's always improvisational, so we never
- 5:45Speaker 5: know what we're gonna say every time. It's a different show,
- 5:47Speaker 5: so you get to do that even though we're in
- 5:48Speaker 5: an arena.
- 5:49Speaker 1: The goal is to make the arena feel like the club.
- 5:52Speaker 10: Yeah, it hard, It seems like it's hard to do,
- 5:54Speaker 10: right now, get that kind of intimacy in an arena.
- 5:57Speaker 1: There's a lot more ground to cover, but it's seeing
- 6:01Speaker 1: that we do.
- 6:02Speaker 7: We'll go Chico or jump off stage and be riding.
- 6:09Speaker 1: Scooters to the thirty fifth. Real we don't care about that.
- 6:13Speaker 7: We really just enjoying ourselves and and you know, selling
- 6:17Speaker 7: these joints out and trying to keep the brand going.
- 6:20Speaker 3: You aready looking like Chico Lean man.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:23Speaker 5: Man, I found out I had high blood pressure. I
- 6:25Speaker 5: had to change my change my diat around. I went
- 6:27Speaker 5: to the doctor. They told me I had high blood pressure.
- 6:30Speaker 5: I was like, whatever, I don't canning about hih blood pressure?
- 6:32Speaker 5: And I went back to the doctor and another doctor
- 6:35Speaker 5: came in, like when that second police officer coming, you
- 6:37Speaker 5: know you're going to jail.
- 6:38Speaker 1: That's how the black man.
- 6:39Speaker 5: He was like, brother, I don't think they did a
- 6:41Speaker 5: good enough job of explaining to you the effects of
- 6:43Speaker 5: how blood pressure is the biggest killer of black men,
- 6:46Speaker 5: heart attacks, all that type. And I'm like, well, what
- 6:48Speaker 5: are the effects He said, the rectile dysfunction. I was like,
- 6:50Speaker 5: what I gotta change?
- 6:51Speaker 1: I won't man.
- 6:53Speaker 5: As soon as he said that's all I needed to hear,
- 6:54Speaker 5: I'm like, nah, I am too young for that. But yeah,
- 6:56Speaker 5: I had to change a lot of stuff around. Man
- 6:58Speaker 5: can't eat chicken, can't eat bread, all that type of stuff.
- 7:01Speaker 5: And that was one of the most hardest transitions. I
- 7:03Speaker 5: tell people now that as black men, we work so
- 7:06Speaker 5: hard to build our habits because we start from nothing.
- 7:09Speaker 5: So every habit that you get, you you hold on
- 7:11Speaker 5: to it, and what you put in your body is
- 7:13Speaker 5: one of the first ones. You get some money, first
- 7:15Speaker 5: thing you do is go eat good or what we
- 7:16Speaker 5: consider to be eating good. So having a transition and
- 7:19Speaker 5: shake that. We were just talking in the green room.
- 7:21Speaker 5: Sugar is the worst drug in the world because don't
- 7:24Speaker 5: nobody stop you when you got it. You know, you
- 7:26Speaker 5: can just have it. Yeah, you can just have a
- 7:28Speaker 5: plate full of sugar. Everybody be cool. Shut one, crack rocker.
- 7:30Speaker 8: What's wrong?
- 7:31Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. What happened for? You know
- 7:36Speaker 1: what I'm saying?
- 7:37Speaker 2: Second hand?
- 7:39Speaker 1: Don't do that?
- 7:40Speaker 5: Yeah, but that was I know. Yeah, we you know
- 7:44Speaker 5: Envy light skin. He been dressing like this. He's been
- 7:46Speaker 5: dressing like this since the eighties. He wanted to be
- 7:47Speaker 5: in Uh, what's the Ready for the World. I don't
- 7:53Speaker 5: know that Envy audition for Ready for the World and
- 7:54Speaker 5: they make it. But yeah, man, that's I feel better though.
- 7:57Speaker 5: That's the best part about it. I feel so much
- 7:59Speaker 5: better because once I made that transition that you look
- 8:01Speaker 5: at yourself and you don't really see it till you
- 8:03Speaker 5: look at old pictures and be like, God, damn nigga
- 8:06Speaker 5: was Bill bad?
- 8:07Speaker 1: But you know what I mean, the transition.
- 8:09Speaker 5: I recommend all black men to go get their blood
- 8:11Speaker 5: pressure check man, because it's very, very important, and you'll
- 8:14Speaker 5: end up walking around with one Jordan on if you don't.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Man, listen.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Blood spress me so bad.
- 8:18Speaker 7: When I seen them lose all that weight, I just
- 8:19Speaker 7: started losing weight too. I was like, hey man, but
- 8:22Speaker 7: whatever it is you're doing, I'm about to do some
- 8:24Speaker 7: of that.
- 8:24Speaker 3: You going to the doctor color Yeah, okay, I got insurance.
- 8:27Speaker 1: That's what you wanted to hear.
- 8:28Speaker 10: Yes, I got Man, you get to a certain age,
- 8:34Speaker 10: I'm forty seven. Now you got to go get everything checked.
- 8:37Speaker 10: Because when you start to realize what leads the heart
- 8:39Speaker 10: attacks and what leads the strokes, the high blood pressure,
- 8:42Speaker 10: the high left throw, stuff we ain't never thought about.
- 8:44Speaker 10: You go to the doctor like what does that mean?
- 8:45Speaker 10: Then they explain it to you. It's like, oh, I
- 8:47Speaker 10: gotta get right.
- 8:48Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean you definitely got right. You got
- 8:50Speaker 5: right a long time ago. Once you got that stuff
- 8:51Speaker 5: done in your skin, I know it's gonna be good.
- 8:54Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I know you got
- 8:56Speaker 1: everything taking off man.
- 8:58Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you got everything taking off.
- 9:04Speaker 2: You don't even know.
- 9:06Speaker 8: It wasn't.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Yeah, he got all that, you know, he got rid
- 9:12Speaker 1: of all He.
- 9:13Speaker 3: The first one ever, like mister Terrific from Superman.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what I mean, he'd be he's sleep
- 9:19Speaker 5: with bobby pins pulling his skin back. When you go
- 9:21Speaker 5: to sleep at night, he just be in the bed
- 9:23Speaker 5: straight up like this. I'm like, so, you know, taking
- 9:25Speaker 5: care of yourself is is very important man. And like
- 9:27Speaker 5: I said, black men, for some reason, we don't like
- 9:29Speaker 5: to go to the doctor and niggas want to keep
- 9:31Speaker 5: drinking gingerls.
- 9:31Speaker 1: And I don't think most black men do is walk
- 9:34Speaker 1: to the store. Yeah, that's it. Just walk to the store.
- 9:37Speaker 3: That's that's it. Wait, you got to get them prostage
- 9:42Speaker 3: checked though.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Man, see there, your freaky ass. Go hey man, why.
- 9:44Speaker 12: You It's so much that you could have went to
- 9:48Speaker 12: before that, you know, prostage check.
- 9:51Speaker 5: Oh it's such a beautiful experience. Come on, man, you
- 9:55Speaker 5: didn't get your check?

- 10:08Speaker 1: was the first one?
- 10:09Speaker 8: Trial run?
- 10:12Speaker 1: I keep getting Yeah, they got a check. As if
- 10:16Speaker 1: you got a trial run, prostant check. I'm gonna let
- 10:18Speaker 1: you do it for I venture the doctor to warm
- 10:20Speaker 1: myself up.
- 10:21Speaker 5: The doctor telling look, we don't got to do this
- 10:23Speaker 5: every time you come.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Not what now?
- 10:26Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm okay.
- 10:28Speaker 3: I gotta be healthy. Uh, when you up to be
- 10:30Speaker 3: about forty.
- 10:31Speaker 10: Three, forty four, if you got a history of it
- 10:32Speaker 10: in your family, supposed to go get a check.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I know they say you got to, but you
- 10:36Speaker 5: know I ain't got there yet.
- 10:37Speaker 3: No, you got to Chico. You got to. You can't
- 10:39Speaker 3: lose on why you did.
- 10:40Speaker 5: I mean, okay, I got you all right, one day
- 10:43Speaker 5: I will and I'm not coming up here to talk
- 10:45Speaker 5: to y'all.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Freaking they put you to sleep, They give you a drug,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and they have to put a time. They got to
- 10:50Speaker 1: put you to sleep. You ain't getting regular joon.
- 10:54Speaker 3: No, that wasn't a regular one.
- 10:56Speaker 1: They sexually assaulted you. They got you on camera. You
- 10:59Speaker 1: went to a freak off. That was.
- 11:03Speaker 10: About the same thing I was going to the next one.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Ass whole adventures.
- 11:11Speaker 5: Man, what's your man on the table?
- 11:18Speaker 3: This stomach?
- 11:18Speaker 1: Y'all ain't got nothing else.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Yo, ma, y'all look crazy this.
- 11:29Speaker 1: I want to know.
- 11:30Speaker 2: It is three.
- 11:31Speaker 6: Do y'all ever have like problems making decisions?
- 11:34Speaker 2: Because it is three?
- 11:35Speaker 6: Y'all right, and say, if one of y'alln't want to
- 11:36Speaker 6: do something, how many of y'all have to say like no,
- 11:39Speaker 6: h yes for y'all to like collectively agree or disagree
- 11:42Speaker 6: on something.
- 11:43Speaker 7: It ain't a whole lot of things we got to
- 11:45Speaker 7: collectively agree on. That's the best part about it. So
- 11:49Speaker 7: sometimes we show up with two wrong answers and the
- 11:51Speaker 7: right one, and sometimes we have things where people just
- 11:56Speaker 7: make their own decision and bro do what you want
- 11:58Speaker 7: to do. What you got, my fools, it ain't a
- 12:01Speaker 7: whole lot of things. We don't clash on nothing.
- 12:03Speaker 4: Really.
- 12:03Speaker 7: We don't like the same type of women, we don't
- 12:05Speaker 7: hang out at the same type of place. It's just
- 12:08Speaker 7: we got a dope bond where it's like we just brothers.
- 12:12Speaker 5: He we're brothers, and it's just it's literally family, you
- 12:14Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. You know the things you go
- 12:16Speaker 5: through with your family. Whatever the conversation is, it's always
- 12:19Speaker 5: in house and we always take care of it. It's
- 12:21Speaker 5: never public, you know, never for public consumption, and that's
- 12:24Speaker 5: what makes things easier. So when we got to make
- 12:25Speaker 5: those decisions, it's always a collective bargaining agreement and we
- 12:29Speaker 5: you know, whatever whichever way it go, we all understand
- 12:32Speaker 5: it's all done out of love. So it make it easy,
- 12:33Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying, And it's that's what makes
- 12:36Speaker 5: us special because you know you do comedy.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Is you just a one man sport? You on the microphone?
- 12:40Speaker 5: So what we do, we showed it is possible to
- 12:42Speaker 5: be able to have that type of camaraderie and still
- 12:44Speaker 5: get the same product and the same result even though
- 12:46Speaker 5: we're doing it in a different way, and.
- 12:47Speaker 10: Y'all trust each other. I saw an interview DC was
- 12:50Speaker 10: doing and he was just talking about those.
- 12:51Speaker 2: Being the old g Yeah, without question being the leader.
- 12:54Speaker 3: I think I think the question who's the leading?
- 12:56Speaker 1: Yeah, he is the leading.
- 12:57Speaker 3: I've heard you say that to man, You're not how hard.
- 12:59Speaker 1: That not for us?
- 13:01Speaker 5: Because you got to think about the place that we
- 13:03Speaker 5: came from, Like we all started with nothing. Every time
- 13:06Speaker 5: we come to New York, Me and Los had this
- 13:08Speaker 5: conversation about how we was walking around sending fifty dollars
- 13:11Speaker 5: back home Western Union and washing clothes in the basement
- 13:14Speaker 5: of the hotel. And when you have that type of vision,
- 13:16Speaker 5: that's all you have is the vision at certain points,
- 13:19Speaker 5: and he always had that vision to see past wherever
- 13:21Speaker 5: we were at in the moment, you know.
- 13:23Speaker 7: And the biggest thing for me too, I think it's
- 13:25Speaker 7: because we was all broke together at some point, you
- 13:28Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. And it was like we had
- 13:30Speaker 7: those conversations though late night, sitting around like Bro and
- 13:33Speaker 7: I get some bread.
- 13:33Speaker 1: We're gonna, Hey, we're gonna do this for real. That's
- 13:35Speaker 1: what you on, I bet, And then it actually happened.
- 13:38Speaker 5: So that was that was one of those things that
- 13:41Speaker 5: really formed the bond too. Yeah, he don't, like I say,
- 13:44Speaker 5: he always had the vision. He was one of the
- 13:45Speaker 5: ones that saw when we were on wilding Out as
- 13:47Speaker 5: great as an opportunity there was for all of us.
- 13:49Speaker 5: He was always the one like, man, look, we gotta
- 13:52Speaker 5: look past this, we gotta do this, we gotta do that,
- 13:54Speaker 5: we gotta do this. And I say that because he's
- 13:56Speaker 5: the elder. He went through certain trenches that men Fly
- 13:58Speaker 5: didn't have to go. They really makes this once we
- 14:00Speaker 5: got in the game, I was. I started in eight
- 14:03Speaker 5: and we was the you know, the last.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Beacon of of Dago. Look at his face.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Right now, so mad.
- 14:24Speaker 1: Yeah, we was Fly. We was just talking about just
- 14:27Speaker 1: the vision that Los had and.
- 14:33Speaker 5: Division that Los had just when we first was starting
- 14:36Speaker 5: out to see past the moments that we were at
- 14:38Speaker 5: and you know, have the vision to understand that this
- 14:40Speaker 5: was the direction to go in.
- 14:42Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Oh yeah, for sure, man
- 14:44Speaker 1: o g.
- 14:44Speaker 8: I always had the vision you did. You know what
- 14:45Speaker 8: I'm saying, Like one just.
- 14:48Speaker 3: Exactly what you're talking.
- 14:50Speaker 1: I mean, went guccio, I ain't. You wouldn't have bought
- 14:54Speaker 1: none either way, only time.
- 14:59Speaker 8: Shut up.
- 15:00Speaker 5: Yeah you're talking about Yeah, we don't care nothing about that.
- 15:06Speaker 5: You spend thirty thousand dollars a week on skincare, routine.
- 15:11Speaker 8: Work. Yeah, that ship coming along. You don't look like
- 15:21Speaker 8: a orange.
- 15:24Speaker 1: He looked like just been sitting on the table for years.
- 15:28Speaker 1: That's what it used to look like all the way.
- 15:30Speaker 8: You know, Oh GJ always had the vision you dig.
- 15:32Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying Like that, I think that
- 15:34Speaker 12: what it comes down to, Like if you got something
- 15:37Speaker 12: going on and you know you need help, you feel
- 15:40Speaker 12: what I'm saying, then not all of that.
- 15:41Speaker 8: The dudes you're asking for help from, they need help.
- 15:44Speaker 8: You fear me.
- 15:45Speaker 12: It's a it's a group collective, And I think that's
- 15:47Speaker 12: what you know what I'm saying, Us as black folks
- 15:50Speaker 12: don't do together, bro won't come together and ask for help,
- 15:53Speaker 12: like asking for help, thinking like you be little in
- 15:55Speaker 12: yourself or you like, I don't need bro.
- 15:58Speaker 8: We need each other, bro. And at the end the day,
- 16:00Speaker 8: we can grow together.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Bro.
- 16:01Speaker 12: That's that's the only way we can go to the
- 16:03Speaker 12: next step. Quicker, you know what I'm saying without you
- 16:06Speaker 12: trying to do it by yourself. I mean, we all
- 16:07Speaker 12: can do things by itself, but you see as.
- 16:10Speaker 8: A collective when we do things together. So it's like effortlessly.
- 16:13Speaker 8: You feel what I'm saying.
- 16:14Speaker 10: So what's been the biggest lesson in ownership? Y'all had
- 16:17Speaker 10: to learn the hard way?
- 16:18Speaker 8: Nigga don't want to fuck with nigga that own shit.
- 16:23Speaker 5: Yeah, because you take away the negotiation power from people
- 16:27Speaker 5: when you own your product.
- 16:29Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 16:30Speaker 5: People can't come and give you, you know, give you
- 16:32Speaker 5: terms and conditions that you have to adhere to because
- 16:35Speaker 5: you need them, you know what I'm saying. And a
- 16:37Speaker 5: lot of times in this industry, people are especially the
- 16:40Speaker 5: powers that be, they used to you being you know,
- 16:42Speaker 5: in need, you know what I'm saying, And they used
- 16:44Speaker 5: to being able to throw anything at you and you'll
- 16:46Speaker 5: take it because you don't know no better. But when
- 16:48Speaker 5: you own it, it gives you a level of freedom
- 16:50Speaker 5: that you don't have to worry about certain types of
- 16:52Speaker 5: things happening in your negotiations or dealing with certain types
- 16:55Speaker 5: of people, and being able to walk away from money.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Everybody thinks that.
- 16:59Speaker 5: The opportunity is attached to a dollar, but a lot
- 17:01Speaker 5: of times it's not. But you're not able to see
- 17:03Speaker 5: that if you got to get the dollar, you know
- 17:04Speaker 5: what I'm.
- 17:05Speaker 7: Saying, They got to handle you way different when they
- 17:07Speaker 7: know you don't need it. Like when you said a
- 17:10Speaker 7: matter of the money something, You're like, no, I'm cool.
- 17:13Speaker 7: Then they be like, well, why why what you want?
- 17:16Speaker 1: Nothing? I just don't I don't see what you.
- 17:19Speaker 2: What you see? What you what you need me for?
- 17:22Speaker 8: What you think where we're going.
- 17:24Speaker 1: It's way different when you when you can say no something.
- 17:28Speaker 12: And sometimes they also think that somebody's already behind you already,
- 17:31Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying, Like they just swore we
- 17:33Speaker 12: always worked for somebody saying they one not knowing that
- 17:36Speaker 12: we start this from the ground up, trying to figure
- 17:38Speaker 12: it out. And I think that it's a difference between
- 17:40Speaker 12: when you got people that's putting the money behind and
- 17:44Speaker 12: then we used our own money, you see what I'm saying,
- 17:46Speaker 12: Like we can't mess up with nobody else money. We
- 17:48Speaker 12: don't messed up a lot of our money, you know
- 17:50Speaker 12: what I mean. But I think that's the growing pain.
- 17:56Speaker 12: That's what comes with understanding. Like you know what, the
- 17:59Speaker 12: mistakes ain't mistakes to us. The mistakes are learning lessons.
- 18:03Speaker 12: So every mistake we had, we just figured like, oh,
- 18:06Speaker 12: you know what, let's just do something different then versus
- 18:08Speaker 12: we got to.
- 18:09Speaker 8: Answer to somebody.
- 18:10Speaker 3: But like, well, why that didn't work?
- 18:11Speaker 8: Then when we don't see the vision all right?
- 18:13Speaker 12: Season two counselors like, man, we've been doing this in
- 18:16Speaker 12: twenty fifteen.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Yeah, we took our bumps with our own money.
- 18:19Speaker 7: So then when we did get some of the money,
- 18:22Speaker 7: we had already went through the errors and it worked out.
- 18:25Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a lot less pressure not having to recoup
- 18:27Speaker 5: somebody else's bread.
- 18:29Speaker 1: You tell, I'm saying you can get paid first. When
- 18:31Speaker 1: you use your own bread, you got to pay nobody back.
- 18:34Speaker 11: I was wondering, you know, you guys aroast anybody anytime, anywhere,
- 18:37Speaker 11: any place. It depends who got the most sensitive when
- 18:40Speaker 11: it came.
- 18:40Speaker 3: It depends for real, DC, Yeah.
- 18:42Speaker 1: It depends.
- 18:42Speaker 12: See I use that as the defense mechanism. It ain't
- 18:44Speaker 12: just like I'm just waking up, like you know, I
- 18:46Speaker 12: want to get somebody nerve today you're gonna say something
- 18:50Speaker 12: to me. I got something back, like this is my
- 18:52Speaker 12: twin brother.
- 18:53Speaker 3: This has always been my.
- 18:55Speaker 8: Twin brother since the day of time.
- 18:56Speaker 1: But it's just like my uncle.
- 18:59Speaker 8: Now, how the fuck I become uncle?
- 19:00Speaker 1: My uncle?
- 19:01Speaker 8: Ever before?
- 19:02Speaker 1: I think when you got married, that's when, yeah, you
- 19:03Speaker 1: came on, Yeah she married. I'm sad man. Look at
- 19:08Speaker 1: the rings she got, the ring she married, you know
- 19:12Speaker 1: what I mean? She got anywhere she got married. She
- 19:15Speaker 1: can't invite none of us to the ceremony. I tell
- 19:17Speaker 1: you that quick. It was quickn't even know she just
- 19:22Speaker 1: woke up for real.
- 19:26Speaker 2: So, but did anybody get super dupercentive? He was like,
- 19:30Speaker 2: let's leave me alone. Did that ever happen? Well, well,
- 19:33Speaker 2: you know when you when you rose to somebody, whether
- 19:34Speaker 2: it was a person.
- 19:35Speaker 1: Who get the most you nigga, you know, but you
- 19:41Speaker 1: don't never do it in front of us. But you
- 19:43Speaker 1: and the Zilia banks, not me. Yeah yeah, yeah, you've
- 19:48Speaker 1: been name known.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Like your voice like did you high pitture when you
- 19:56Speaker 3: all coming around.
- 19:59Speaker 8: You showing me and what do you want?
- 20:03Speaker 1: Sounds like a Nintendo character DJ and.
- 20:07Speaker 5: You want.
- 20:09Speaker 3: Nobody. I don't know.
- 20:10Speaker 1: I think it's the way that we do it. We
- 20:12Speaker 1: don't never try to. It ain't never from not malicious.
- 20:15Speaker 7: You know, even when we do roast people, it's still
- 20:19Speaker 7: something that even the people we roastinking laugh at you. Like,
- 20:23Speaker 7: we don't try to just go for what's obvious, you
- 20:25Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, Like it ain't just the most
- 20:27Speaker 7: messed up person. Sometimes we want to find somebody who
- 20:30Speaker 7: you can tell when they think they like they can't
- 20:33Speaker 7: say nothing about me.
- 20:36Speaker 12: I think the big part is like we we also
- 20:39Speaker 12: have a connection. You did what I'm saying, Like, we
- 20:40Speaker 12: don't have to say nothing. There's been plenty of time,
- 20:43Speaker 12: but we never had to say nothing. But we understood exactly.
- 20:46Speaker 12: Like the look the logesture that we did, you were
- 20:49Speaker 12: like you caught that we don't have plenty of people
- 20:51Speaker 12: on the show.
- 20:52Speaker 8: Well we were like these folks laying in here for
- 20:55Speaker 8: in real life. But we'll catch it and we'll just
- 20:58Speaker 8: look at it and it be just halnarous.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Man, I'm talking, you don't know what we loving at?
- 21:03Speaker 8: Like what y'all laving at?
- 21:04Speaker 2: Nigga?
- 21:04Speaker 1: You nigga what's funny you yelling your whole.
- 21:12Speaker 10: Man? The thing I like about y'all or y'all all
- 21:14Speaker 10: are still honest, because I feel like we live in
- 21:16Speaker 10: this era where it's a lot of fake real talk
- 21:19Speaker 10: out here, like people just saying things that go byral
- 21:21Speaker 10: or saying things what they thinks sound good. How do
- 21:24Speaker 10: y'all stay grounded in truth while still keeping it funny?
- 21:27Speaker 5: I mean you, I mean you think. I think it's
- 21:28Speaker 5: just the era we come from, in the environment we
- 21:31Speaker 5: come from. We all from different places, but we really
- 21:33Speaker 5: from the same exact place. We all come from the
- 21:35Speaker 5: same type of environment, and when you come out of
- 21:37Speaker 5: that environment, you feel a certain connection to the truth
- 21:40Speaker 5: because that's really all you have to live on, and
- 21:42Speaker 5: then you judged.
- 21:43Speaker 1: On that when you come from the places we come from.
- 21:45Speaker 5: So being in this era, like like you said, with
- 21:48Speaker 5: the fake real talk like that don't really apply to us,
- 21:50Speaker 5: because we know that the people that are watching us
- 21:52Speaker 5: are looking to us to be able to confirm that
- 21:55Speaker 5: what they feel is accurate. And we owe that to
- 21:57Speaker 5: the people that support us, you know, we owe it
- 21:59Speaker 5: to ourselves first. So it's just important for us to
- 22:01Speaker 5: always be able to say whatever it is that's on
- 22:03Speaker 5: our minds freely without having to worry about any backlash,
- 22:06Speaker 5: because at the end of the day, that's all you
- 22:07Speaker 5: have is your you know, your balls and your word.
- 22:09Speaker 1: Like Scott Face said, I like the fake real talk really. Yeah.
- 22:13Speaker 7: When people say like fake deep stuff and they put
- 22:15Speaker 7: the little soft music behind.
- 22:18Speaker 1: That's some of the best motivation. Like they're slow to
- 22:22Speaker 1: clip that.
- 22:22Speaker 7: You know, sometimes you gotta love yourself first before you
- 22:26Speaker 7: can love anything else.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Second. Then they put the little piano chance to little
- 22:31Speaker 1: clip to page with all the little fake motivations. I
- 22:36Speaker 1: love it.
- 22:37Speaker 12: I feel like, you know, I guess the fake real
- 22:39Speaker 12: talk is comes from the masses who would never have
- 22:44Speaker 12: said them back in the day anyway. You know, on
- 22:45Speaker 12: social media done enhanced on so much of foolery, you
- 22:52Speaker 12: know what I'm saying, Like it's no more morals, no more,
- 22:55Speaker 12: you see what I'm saying. It seemed like the immoral
- 22:58Speaker 12: is becoming the new norm now, and it's like the
- 23:01Speaker 12: old norm is.
- 23:02Speaker 8: Becoming weird or strange, you see what I'm saying.
- 23:05Speaker 12: But I think comedy still has that that effect, like
- 23:08Speaker 12: you have to be honest no matter you know what.
- 23:11Speaker 12: It gives us a better feeling because now it's tense. Tense,
- 23:14Speaker 12: everybody'll be like, well we can't say that. You'll be
- 23:16Speaker 12: like why, who don't get mad?
- 23:22Speaker 7: They can't when you under somebody, you work for somebody,
- 23:26Speaker 7: and you got interest and you got stuff to lose.
- 23:30Speaker 7: The only way you keeping it is by keeping this job.
- 23:32Speaker 7: You do kind of have to feel to yourself.
- 23:34Speaker 1: It's a lot of things that can't be said, and
- 23:36Speaker 1: a lot of people who can't say them.
- 23:38Speaker 5: Corporate complacency, that's what that is. You know, you get
- 23:40Speaker 5: that corporate money, you get them corporate people behind you.
- 23:42Speaker 5: Got to be complacent with the money because once they
- 23:45Speaker 5: tell you what you can and can't say, that's your
- 23:47Speaker 5: That's what it is, because.
- 23:48Speaker 8: Nine times out of ten you're talking about them anyway.
- 23:52Speaker 3: You think it's because people can't fight.
- 23:54Speaker 8: I think that I ain't fnna walk up on me.
- 23:58Speaker 12: You're not getting in between between three feet saying none
- 24:01Speaker 12: of that ship you just said.
- 24:02Speaker 10: A lot of time people think it's corporate. It's like, no,
- 24:04Speaker 10: he just don't want no problems. You just don't want
- 24:06Speaker 10: no problem.
- 24:07Speaker 2: I was gonna ask to success.
- 24:08Speaker 11: Feel better when a lot of people doubt it, all
- 24:11Speaker 11: of y'all right when they doubted you at first.
- 24:13Speaker 2: I remember when when you first came out, there was like,
- 24:15Speaker 2: we don't understand what he's saying.
- 24:16Speaker 10: This the show show, I remember that show when he
- 24:19Speaker 10: was on MTV on Uncommon Sense, was.
- 24:21Speaker 3: Like, we don't even understand what he's saying.
- 24:23Speaker 8: Nick said that at the audition, like I don't know
- 24:25Speaker 8: what you said, but it's funny. I was like you
- 24:27Speaker 8: you know, because after this I'm back.
- 24:28Speaker 2: That's in the correct The success feel better when they
- 24:33Speaker 2: people are doubted so much?
- 24:36Speaker 1: Does it feel better?
- 24:37Speaker 8: I want to say it feel better.
- 24:38Speaker 12: I think the proving people wrong part just feel good.
- 24:40Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying, because I think because I
- 24:42Speaker 12: think everybody in here can contest it, you always won't
- 24:45Speaker 12: support you don't never want to grow up me Like damn,
- 24:49Speaker 12: wan't see the good?
- 24:49Speaker 8: A mean you see what I'm saying, Like, I ain't
- 24:52Speaker 8: never no bad person.
- 24:53Speaker 12: It's just when you prove people wrong and he be
- 24:55Speaker 12: like that feeling is kind of just like you know
- 24:57Speaker 12: what I'm saying, It just it feels great.
- 24:59Speaker 8: But I don't think that the doubting part, you know
- 25:02Speaker 8: what I meant?
- 25:03Speaker 7: I mean, I think I feel better, but I always
- 25:05Speaker 7: show love because I don't never want to be somebody's reason,
- 25:07Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. Somebody like, yeah, I tried
- 25:09Speaker 7: to play my music for loads and then he shipped
- 25:12Speaker 7: it on me, and then that motivated me to go back.
- 25:14Speaker 5: And now the like the teacher that, like every rapper
- 25:19Speaker 5: got that teacher that told them they weren't gonna be
- 25:21Speaker 5: ship when they was.
- 25:21Speaker 7: Just at that's a lot the teachers gonna be telling
- 25:27Speaker 7: them students that their lady asked that boy to read
- 25:30Speaker 7: out loud, he got nervous in front of the class
- 25:33Speaker 7: and missed up, and then his feeling.
- 25:36Speaker 5: But I think success is subjective, you know what I mean.
- 25:38Speaker 5: Everybody's definition of what success is is different. But I
- 25:41Speaker 5: know for us, like we didn't beat the game so
- 25:44Speaker 5: many times in comparison to what we were supposed to be,
- 25:47Speaker 5: so you can't really look at it from what people
- 25:49Speaker 5: think you supposed to have, you know what I'm saying, Like,
- 25:51Speaker 5: I think it feels good just to know that the
- 25:53Speaker 5: trajectory of what brothers like us were supposed to be,
- 25:57Speaker 5: for us to be so many light years away from
- 26:00Speaker 5: that and ahead of that that success, so it's really
- 26:02Speaker 5: nothing anybody can say to make you feel bad when
- 26:04Speaker 5: you beat the game the way that we have and
- 26:06Speaker 5: they keep doing it.
- 26:07Speaker 7: You gotta get that out the way early, bro Right.
- 26:10Speaker 7: Once you get to a certain level of your career,
- 26:12Speaker 7: you can't be focused.
- 26:14Speaker 1: On people don't like you, don't love your question.
- 26:17Speaker 7: Who get on your page and call you ugly, because
- 26:19Speaker 7: those not the people who put you in the position
- 26:21Speaker 7: that you're in.
- 26:22Speaker 1: Anyway, show you get what I'm saying, Like we understand.
- 26:25Speaker 7: That's why we call live fans the eighty five percenters,
- 26:28Speaker 7: not the one hundred percenters, because everybody ain't gonna never
- 26:30Speaker 7: like it no matter how good it is, or you
- 26:32Speaker 7: know what I mean. Nobody gonna always support the greatness
- 26:36Speaker 7: or they gonna they want to see you on that platform.
- 26:38Speaker 7: It's some people who hope we fall.
- 26:40Speaker 3: Out right now. We just worrying about long.
- 26:44Speaker 10: How long can we do for y'all Thoughcause y'all, y'all
- 26:47Speaker 10: got youall own lane, Like there's literally nobody in y'all lane.
- 26:50Speaker 3: There's nobody doing what it is that y'all do.
- 26:52Speaker 1: Do you understand?
- 26:53Speaker 7: The lane started as a little path that we cut
- 26:56Speaker 7: behind the real path, and then we came through with
- 26:59Speaker 7: some dirt for sure. Then we came behind it with
- 27:01Speaker 7: a little grabby. Now we're coming through the concrete.
- 27:05Speaker 10: When you launched the podcast and you said you don't
- 27:07Speaker 10: want to get you going to get DC to do
- 27:09Speaker 10: the podcast, did you see this turning into the Empires becoming.
- 27:11Speaker 7: Yeah, that's why if you go back to the early
- 27:13Speaker 7: episode when it was just us in the studio with
- 27:16Speaker 7: me and Chico and d C, and then we always

- 30:04Speaker 3: Colon can make your things out and.
- 30:06Speaker 12: That's crazy because a lot of men have to go
- 30:08Speaker 12: through that. You're going, I'm nervous, but you're going though.
- 30:12Speaker 12: I don't even like the dodo.
- 30:16Speaker 3: Why you like to do?
- 30:17Speaker 8: Because I ain't got time to be going about black man.
- 30:18Speaker 8: I wish I could just put my part right.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Self cleaning.
- 30:26Speaker 10: I'm gonn getting man, I got that's funny as ship
- 30:32Speaker 10: waving your ass saying pause, I can't do damn.
- 30:36Speaker 8: You know what is it like watching the poor minds man.
- 30:41Speaker 12: Beautiful, great, beautiful, Just saying first of all, just seeing
- 30:44Speaker 12: black women flourish.
- 30:46Speaker 8: Let's just let's just take a pause for that. Yeah,
- 30:49Speaker 8: just black women flourish and and.
- 30:52Speaker 12: Having kings behind them that you know what I'm saying,
- 30:54Speaker 12: that's supporting, and don't look at them as sexual, you
- 30:57Speaker 12: know what I'm saying, Like this is a family vibe,
- 30:59Speaker 12: you do know what I'm saying, And like we ain't
- 31:01Speaker 12: got time for all that.
- 31:02Speaker 8: Like sometimes me and we have to understand that we
- 31:05Speaker 8: need to have relationships with women without being.
- 31:07Speaker 5: Sex creating a safe space. Black men, creating a safe
- 31:11Speaker 5: space to come and be secure without having to feel
- 31:15Speaker 5: like they subjected to all the things that come with
- 31:17Speaker 5: the stigmas of being a woman, especially a black woman
- 31:20Speaker 5: in this industry, you know what I mean. We always
- 31:22Speaker 5: try to make sure that our presence makes our women
- 31:25Speaker 5: feel comfortable and safe, that they can be themselves and
- 31:27Speaker 5: not have to worry about getting judged or you know,
- 31:30Speaker 5: being looked at as objects, you know what I'm saying,
- 31:33Speaker 5: and be able to really project their talents out the
- 31:35Speaker 5: right way. And that's something that we find really important
- 31:37Speaker 5: because talking to you know, our uncle and everything, like
- 31:40Speaker 5: she you know, she'd let us know that, you know,
- 31:43Speaker 5: the fights that we've been around her for years, like,
- 31:46Speaker 5: and she's had to push through so much just because
- 31:48Speaker 5: of the type.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Of person that she is.
- 31:50Speaker 5: And she ain't gone for shit, you know what I'm saying.
- 31:51Speaker 5: So that makes it very difficult for black women in
- 31:54Speaker 5: this industry. So we want to create an environment where
- 31:56Speaker 5: we you know, you don't have to worry about none
- 31:58Speaker 5: of that coming over here.
- 31:58Speaker 1: You're going whatever it is you do. That's what we're
- 32:00Speaker 1: looking at you to do nothing else.
- 32:02Speaker 7: They're just as dope as they ever were, Like they
- 32:04Speaker 7: didn't have to get dope. Like I went and did
- 32:06Speaker 7: the podcast with them a long time ago at Dre's house.
- 32:11Speaker 7: They were just in the living room just you know,
- 32:13Speaker 7: sipping wine, talking ship and I was like, y'all got something,
- 32:16Speaker 7: And I know that y'all some attractive women. People are
- 32:19Speaker 7: gonna want to hear y'all opinion on certain stuff and
- 32:22Speaker 7: just to see where they took it.
- 32:23Speaker 1: It's crazy too money.
- 32:32Speaker 7: That's the thing about when you said the family environment, Bro.
- 32:35Speaker 7: We want to be around talent that we respect because
- 32:37Speaker 7: we know that these people have something different than just
- 32:41Speaker 7: you know what I mean. Than just being our friends.
- 32:43Speaker 7: We respect the talent that they had. We'd love to
- 32:46Speaker 7: see money Bag go on stage or Clayton English get
- 32:49Speaker 7: to talking you know, deep conspiracy theories, and then you
- 32:52Speaker 7: know broken play and poor mind. So it's like, these
- 32:56Speaker 7: are the things that we want around us, People that
- 32:58Speaker 7: we can have fun with, people that we can kicks,
- 33:00Speaker 7: and we know once they can get our attention because
- 33:03Speaker 7: we can tough critics.
- 33:05Speaker 1: We know that the mass is gonna mess with it.
- 33:08Speaker 3: Y'all think cancel culture, cancel culture? Lost his power.
- 33:14Speaker 8: I don't want something.
- 33:15Speaker 12: Ain't no such thing as canceled culture, especially when God
- 33:19Speaker 12: puts you on. When God puts you on, can't no
- 33:23Speaker 12: people stand outside the building and be like shut them off.
- 33:27Speaker 8: Excuse me, I will push you across the street.
- 33:31Speaker 12: You dig what I'm saying, Like you can't close the
- 33:33Speaker 12: door that God open, especially because you got mad at
- 33:36Speaker 12: something that would because you don't understand.
- 33:39Speaker 5: I think the current climate of the country doesn't bring
- 33:41Speaker 5: canceled culture. You know, you look at the president is
- 33:44Speaker 5: you know what I mean that it ain't going down
- 33:45Speaker 5: like that no more. I think that the you know,
- 33:48Speaker 5: the social norm of what is acceptable and not acceptable
- 33:51Speaker 5: change with the administration. So it's a lot more things
- 33:53Speaker 5: that you can say and do now because you know
- 33:56Speaker 5: the powers that be on gonna chastise you for that.
- 33:58Speaker 5: So I think that trickles down. I don't think it's
- 34:00Speaker 5: the same no more. You know, like five six years ago,
- 34:02Speaker 5: you couldn't say nothing. You know, you didn't make canceled
- 34:04Speaker 5: more than anybody.
- 34:05Speaker 1: In the country.
- 34:06Speaker 5: So now I just think that the way that the
- 34:08Speaker 5: world is set up now is no way for you
- 34:10Speaker 5: to be able to tell somebody what they can and
- 34:12Speaker 5: can't say, you know, as long as you're not doing
- 34:14Speaker 5: them maliciously. They should keep the counsel culture, but it
- 34:17Speaker 5: shouldn't just apply to like social media and like celebrities
- 34:20Speaker 5: and entertainers.
- 34:21Speaker 7: They should start canceling the people who ruining the country
- 34:24Speaker 7: right for sure.
- 34:26Speaker 12: That they're gonna they should, because those are the people
- 34:28Speaker 12: that's in control of the council culture exactly.
- 34:31Speaker 10: And coluse you got a college hell season, I don't
- 34:34Speaker 10: know what season is. You're coming back for another just.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Not another season. I did the season as a season three.
- 34:39Speaker 3: Oh so you already shot all that ship?
- 34:41Speaker 1: Yeah, we shot it.
- 34:42Speaker 2: I just knew.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Let a nigga know, you ain't watching what we got
- 34:45Speaker 1: going on?
- 34:47Speaker 3: True?
- 34:47Speaker 1: Yeah, damn this last year the Man going to.

- 34:58Speaker 10: Speaking of that, I'm just read le on Hulu like
- 35:01Speaker 10: two days ago, maybe three over the weekend.
- 35:03Speaker 8: I'm like Chico being l O L lived that.
- 35:09Speaker 1: I'm like talk, Yeah, I don't know how you missed it.
- 35:12Speaker 1: You don't give a fuck. That's how you miss man.

- 35:23Speaker 5: just a you know, an introduction to what people who
- 35:25Speaker 5: know me and know what I do, you know, have
- 35:28Speaker 5: already been accustomed to. So it's just introducing yourself to
- 35:31Speaker 5: a new audience, you know. And it's fun to do.
- 35:33Speaker 5: Like we've all done those type of things with people,
- 35:35Speaker 5: you know. That's the beauty of what we do. We've
- 35:37Speaker 5: been doing this for so long, but there are so
- 35:39Speaker 5: many people that still get introduced to us every day,
- 35:41Speaker 5: every single day. So you never you never in a
- 35:44Speaker 5: position where everybody knows you. Most people still don't know
- 35:47Speaker 5: who you are, no matter what you've done. So that's
- 35:49Speaker 5: just another opportunity for me to be able to put
- 35:51Speaker 5: my talents out in front of the world.
- 35:52Speaker 1: And I'm proud of it.

- 38:38Speaker 8: in between the suit.
- 38:39Speaker 2: All that used to be country at.
- 38:41Speaker 8: One point in time.
- 38:42Speaker 12: So it was just like, when you get into these
- 38:45Speaker 12: you know what I'm saying, these certain levels of your career,
- 38:47Speaker 12: you want to show people. You know what I'm saying. Growth,
- 38:50Speaker 12: You want to show people like this way you belong.
- 38:51Speaker 12: You want to show people like, all right, this is
- 38:53Speaker 12: how you do it because you gotta we gotta look. Yeah,
- 38:55Speaker 12: I'm from the hood.
- 38:56Speaker 8: We got a certain look. But I'm like, guess what, man,
- 38:58Speaker 8: we could get clean. Man, it's all about all about
- 39:02Speaker 8: being diverse. Man, it got to be clean. And that's
- 39:04Speaker 8: my element right there. And I was like, you know what,
- 39:06Speaker 8: it's time for me to show these for how you
- 39:07Speaker 8: really do this.
- 39:08Speaker 12: So every time if you see my name on in
- 39:10Speaker 12: the red carpet, you better come with it because your
- 39:13Speaker 12: butt is coming.
- 39:15Speaker 8: And I got one of the best stylists in the
- 39:17Speaker 8: world shout the mo she goes crazy, she's black.
- 39:20Speaker 10: DC did it the right way to when you talk
- 39:21Speaker 10: about that, because you've been you know, you've been living
- 39:23Speaker 10: out loud forever.
- 39:24Speaker 1: So you went from what that means.
- 39:27Speaker 3: I don't like how you said that living out people
- 39:30Speaker 3: started to grow up on.
- 39:40Speaker 5: Now that you think about it, that don't sound ruthing.
- 39:46Speaker 3: Else when people started going from the funk you mean
- 39:52Speaker 3: to being clean and the bt.
- 39:53Speaker 8: A ward you know, I mean, you know it comes
- 39:55Speaker 8: from just growth. Just growth, man.
- 39:57Speaker 12: I feel like everybody just have to grow every step
- 40:00Speaker 12: that your career takes. Understand your purpose and understand where
- 40:03Speaker 12: you at. You know what I'm saying, Like jes you
- 40:05Speaker 12: probably never saw yourself doing this, but once you came,
- 40:08Speaker 12: you understood, like you know what, there's a lane for me.
- 40:10Speaker 12: Let me grow here, let me understand, let me make
- 40:12Speaker 12: my mark. And when other people see your talent, your potential.
- 40:18Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying, Even if you ain't.
- 40:19Speaker 8: Already quite got it just yet. They still see it's
- 40:22Speaker 8: something there. Just like you said, we just got started.
- 40:25Speaker 8: So guess what they're saying, there's something there.
- 40:27Speaker 12: We're still growing and we've been doing it for teen
- 40:29Speaker 12: years and we're not at the same level.
- 40:32Speaker 1: And you know what they say, it take ten years
- 40:33Speaker 1: to be an overnight success. That's a fact.
- 40:36Speaker 3: So my last question, what does the legacy look like?
- 40:38Speaker 1: Do y'all? Is it money? Go?
- 40:39Speaker 8: Damn man, damn you got crossed examined a little bit.
- 40:43Speaker 3: It's actually going to feed the homeless right now. But
- 40:45Speaker 3: is it money? Is it freedom?
- 40:46Speaker 9: Is it?
- 40:47Speaker 3: Respect?
- 40:48Speaker 9: For me?
- 40:48Speaker 5: Is to picture over the fireplace, meaning that you always
- 40:52Speaker 5: it's you know, because I understand I look at life
- 40:54Speaker 5: from a different vantage point.
- 40:55Speaker 1: I've lost so many people.
- 40:56Speaker 5: I know that it's overWe for everybody one day, one
- 40:58Speaker 5: day will be your last day on this planet with
- 41:00Speaker 5: everybody that you love.
- 41:01Speaker 1: What do you leave? You know what I mean?
- 41:03Speaker 5: All of this ain't for me, you know, it's for
- 41:05Speaker 5: the people that's gonna come after me. Like I said,
- 41:07Speaker 5: I don't beat the game so many times over. For me,
- 41:09Speaker 5: it's just about leaving a legacy that is going to
- 41:12Speaker 5: last beyond my generate, beyond my lifetime, you know what
- 41:14Speaker 5: I mean. That's what real wealth is to me. Being
- 41:17Speaker 5: able to leave something for your people to not have
- 41:19Speaker 5: to work anywhere near as hard as you work to
- 41:21Speaker 5: get whatever it is that you received in life. So
- 41:23Speaker 5: that's what it's about for me, just being able to
- 41:25Speaker 5: create something that's going to last long after I'm gone.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to.
- 41:29Speaker 7: I want to have that legacy where you leave a
- 41:33Speaker 7: bunch of bread and change the whole family history.
- 41:36Speaker 1: That's what yeah.
- 41:37Speaker 7: Or like you know, when your granddaughter pulling up at
- 41:39Speaker 7: college and like you know, granddaddy had that bag.
- 41:42Speaker 3: That's generational blessing.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Yet keep it going.
- 41:46Speaker 7: And I don't want the family to have the education
- 41:48Speaker 7: and the financial knowledge to take whatever I do and
- 41:51Speaker 7: then flip that, then flip that again, and then open
- 41:54Speaker 7: some business, then put out family name on some buildings
- 41:57Speaker 7: and buy some houses and some property and you know,
- 42:00Speaker 7: get a little nephew. Was something that's in Congress. I'm
- 42:02Speaker 7: trying to change the whole.
- 42:05Speaker 12: About your DF I mean, it's just to inbalk on
- 42:08Speaker 12: everything they said, you know what I mean, it's kind
- 42:10Speaker 12: of like the same you feel me And also have
- 42:13Speaker 12: a level of sanity with dealing with everybody problems because
- 42:18Speaker 12: figuring out who's gonna be next in the family, it's
- 42:22Speaker 12: kind of hard to decipher because this is a big
- 42:25Speaker 12: job and it's a big you know what I'm saying,
- 42:27Speaker 12: But trying to instill those morals into them and understand
