- 1:02SPEAKER_00: So it's no way.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: No way.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: Never.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: I've got like a cheer for that once.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: And it was in East New York, Brooklyn.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Never.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: You know, we make them different over there.
- 1:18SPEAKER_00: You know, my father's from there, I'm from there.
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: You know, you become a hustler.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: You smoke, you do work to make money, you know?
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: I'll give you an example.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: Last month, cops knocked on my door, they spoke to me and my wife.
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: They're like, hey, um, you know about any stolen appliances getting delivered to your house?
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: Apparently somebody went to see us, bought a ton of refrigerators, stoves, ovens, got it delivered to my backyard, never paid for that shit.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: So I thought of my dad.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: I was like, yo, Pops, you know about any stolen appliances getting delivered to my house last week?
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: And he's like, last week?
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: Nah.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: But I wanted to be like him.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: I wanted to be this level of smooth, this cold, you know, tough under pressure like that.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: He had other plans though.
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: You know, when I was 13, I got into this prep school in Queens, St.
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: Francis Prep, and he was real excited because you know, somebody from the hub is gonna make it.
- 2:22SPEAKER_00: You know, Bella told a UFC, I'm crossing over.
- 2:26SPEAKER_00: But I was concerned, you know.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: Kids at prep, they wore khaki pants and polos.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: I gotta ride the J train and that shit.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna be tough.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: So I asked my dad, I was like, yo, pops, I'm a little worried about my street cred going to the school.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: People won't think I'm soft now.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Gastor, being tough got nothing to do with what you wear where you go to school.
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: It's about being responsible, handling your business.
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: You know what you need, you need a job.
- 2:55SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if you guys know much about the employment market for 13-year-olds.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: It's not great.
- 3:06SPEAKER_00: So we had to convince my mom, you know, to get a gig.
- 3:09SPEAKER_00: So we decided, you know, I'd work with my dad.
- 3:13SPEAKER_00: My mom wasn't too thrilled with the idea, but this is what we told her, so she could ride along with it.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: I was gonna be the vendor machine operator.
- 3:20SPEAKER_00: I was gonna go there, fill up the machine with juices, sodas, and I could keep the profits from the machine.
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: She was happy.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: Well, my job actually was to go to the laundromat and take all the cash and deposit it at the bank.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Because it occurred to my dad, yo, this is a cash business.
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: I gotta take our money every day.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: This is East New York, Brooklyn.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: That's dangerous.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: Why should I risk my life?
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: I got a perfectly healthy 13-year-old boy.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: Put him to use, you know?
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: Now, to pull us off, we had to do a few things.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: One, we decided that we should pretend that I'm actually not his son.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: I was just a random vending machine operator.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: This is cool.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: Because this meant that I could just talk to him like a regular dude.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: It's a superpower.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: I walked in the first day.
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: Oh, what's going on, Leo?
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: How you doing, man?
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: What you getting into this weekend?
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: Oh, me?
- 4:21SPEAKER_00: I got into some pussy, yo.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: He had to eat that, like, just take it, you know?
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: It's amazing.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: So I go downstairs to get the sodas, and there would be two envelopes.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: It was one with the cash I had to deposit and my money for the day.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: Laundromat only been open one day, so I'm expecting a couple bucks from me and maybe a thousand dollars of business.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: There was twelve thousand dollars in cash.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: I didn't come prepared.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: Now, thankfully, I'd been going to this prep school for a few weeks, and the white kids at the school put me onto the wonderful world of cargo pants.
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: So I proceeded to use the various storage options available to me.
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: Come upstairs, I see my daddy taps his hip to remind me of the second benefit of this job.
- 5:17SPEAKER_00: I got a beeper.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: I know you're impressed.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: It was amazing.
- 5:24SPEAKER_00: See, because you guys don't realize this now.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: Like, beepers was just the shit back then.
- 5:29SPEAKER_00: I remember telling my friends at Brooklyn, yo, when y'all cut class, make sure y'all page me.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: They're like, yo, we ain't got shit to tell you, man.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: But I want people to know I got shit going on.
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: So I start my walk.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: Side note, by the way, I learned something during this walk to the bank.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: Something you could take home with you.
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: If you ever have a confidence issue, maybe you got an interview coming up.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: Gonna propose to your missus, whatever you decide, and you lacking something inside.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: You should try walking around with$12,000 in cash in your pocket.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: It's incredible.
- 6:15SPEAKER_00: You have no, I felt like Jay-Z that whole war.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: I bumped into my boy Jeff.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: He's like, yo, guess, so what you getting into today?
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: Like, man, you know running these streets.
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: You know how I do.

- 6:34SPEAKER_00: I'm like, all right, cool, you know.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: What else would you do with$12,000?
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: So we go to my boy Vito on Essex.
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: He pays for his slice.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: I pull out a wad of a thousand dollars.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: I pay for my slice.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: Jeff gets very excited.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: He looks at me holding it, she's like, oh shit.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: Yo, Gastor is doing it.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: Runs to the payphone, calls up everybody.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: You know, now as an adult, I'm responsible.
- 7:09SPEAKER_00: Now I got a mortgage, I got a wife, I got kids.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: I got shit going on.
- 7:14SPEAKER_00: I still dream of being a rapper.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: I want to buy out the bar.
- 7:16SPEAKER_00: It looks fun to pour a lick on people and shit.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: I know it's fun because I got to live that as a 13-year-old at a pizza rear.
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: It's amazing.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: You who's and Snappos on me.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: I got this.
- 7:33SPEAKER_00: Pizza, any type.
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: And you got no idea what the fuck they will put on a pizza if you ask.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Anything.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: Anything.
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: It's possible.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: You dream.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Y'all put wood on pizza.
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: I didn't give a fuck.
- 7:45SPEAKER_00: Do it.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: Cook another one.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: Frivolous shit.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: Now I got to do this ball of move.
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: I was sitting at the table with my people.
- 7:57SPEAKER_00: My people went off.
- 8:00SPEAKER_00: I say, yo, pardon me.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: I gotta take this.
- 8:04SPEAKER_00: Go to the phone, call back the number.
- 8:06SPEAKER_00: It's my dad.
- 8:06SPEAKER_00: He's like, yo, how'd the deposit go?
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: My friends are watching.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, man, I get to it when I get to it.
- 8:20SPEAKER_00: Dog life.
- 8:23SPEAKER_00: And he's like, yo, um, I know we got this whole charade going on at the laundromat, but you're still my son, and you actually have$12,000.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: When are you making a deposit?
- 8:38SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I said I get to it when I get to it.
- 8:41SPEAKER_00: Hung up the phone.
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: Legendary.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: You'll hear about it.
- 8:56SPEAKER_00: Go back to the table, chop it up for another 20 minutes.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: Go to the counter, drop$100 for Vito.
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: Keep the change.
- 9:04SPEAKER_00: Walk out like a G.
- 9:07SPEAKER_00: I make it another block under the J train on Fulton, and six dudes walk up to me.
- 9:13SPEAKER_00: Hey, don't get ahead of me.
- 9:18SPEAKER_00: And the dude in the middle hits me straight on the chest.
- 9:22SPEAKER_00: And he's like, yo, you gaster?
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: Who wants to know?
- 9:29SPEAKER_00: He's like, well, we heard you was doing it real big out here.
- 9:34SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh yeah, if you want some pizza, I left a ton of shit.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: Go help yourself.
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: He's like, nah, man.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: We heard you was doing it real big.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: Now we want to do it real big too.
- 9:48SPEAKER_00: And he jumped me on Fulton for real.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: 6D.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: Thanks to that dude Chad at the whole Navy.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: I had the cargo pants on.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: They only got to one of my pockets.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: So I lost the rest of that stack.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: I lost a thousand dollars.
- 10:10SPEAKER_00: I'm bloody that run back to the pizzeria.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: Jeff is on a stupa from six slices.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yo, Jeff, yo, Jeff, I just got jump B.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: I need your help, man.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: I'm down a thousand dollars.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: What the fuck are we gonna do?
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: And Jeff just nonchalantly says, oh, that's easy.
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: We gotta rob somebody.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: Logical East New York decisions.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: So we decided to rob the local drug dealers on Jerome Street.
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: Because it's a one-way street, right?
- 10:46SPEAKER_00: They got a trash can in the middle with a block with a Jan Sport bag with the day's cash.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: One dude on one corner, you give him the money, dude on the other corner gives you the product.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: Simple operation.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: So we came up with the idea to drive against traffic, hop out the car, get the bag, and drive off.
- 11:04SPEAKER_00: So we go to my dad's house, get some ski mask on, hoodies, and we take my dad's car.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: Drive down the block, I jump into the trash can, I grab the bag.
- 11:16SPEAKER_00: Now we drive off.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: I'm looking in the rear view, man.
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: I see the drug dealers just looking confused.
- 11:21SPEAKER_00: But they ain't do shit.
- 11:22SPEAKER_00: We got away with it.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: Against traffic, shit worked.
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: We drove straight to the bank and made the most gangster deposit ever.
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: Right into the Wamu, rocking a ski mask.
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: Run right up to the teller, and I'm just trying to throw shit at the counter.
- 11:47SPEAKER_00: And the security guard walks over.
- 11:49SPEAKER_00: He's like, What you doing?
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: I'm like, man, I'm bringing money into the motherfucker.
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: Good.
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: He looks at me confused.
- 11:57SPEAKER_00: Jeff jumps in, nah, he's cool.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: We go to prep.
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: You see he got cargo pants on.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: So I make my deposit.
- 12:09SPEAKER_00: I get home, pull this shit off.
- 12:11SPEAKER_00: I feel relaxed.
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: My dad comes in from lunch.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: And he's like, yo, Gastor, how'd that deposit go?
- 12:17SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yeah, everything went great, Pops.
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: He's like, nah, like, tell me, how did the deposit go?
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: How was the process?
- 12:22SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I said everything went fine.
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: Everything was cool.
- 12:26SPEAKER_00: And he's like, Gastor, those are my friends that jumped you.
- 12:32SPEAKER_00: Stop fucking with my money.
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: Here's the rest of the cash they took from you.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: Go make that deposit.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: We'll talk about this when I'm done for the day.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: So I go to my room, I call Jeff.
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: Yo, Jeff, we got a problem.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: Those are my dad's friends that raw me.
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: I didn't need thousand dollars.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: So he's like, so we got a thousand dollars.
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: No, Jeff, we have angry drug dealers.
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: So we decided to do what I like to call a reverse drive-by.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: Got the ski mask back on.
- 13:27SPEAKER_00: Stole my dad's car again.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: We drove down Jerome Street, lowered the window, throw the Jam sport bag out, and we yell out, my bad, yo.
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: Drove off.
- 13:49SPEAKER_00: Happy day.
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: I show off for work the next morning.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: You know, I go downstairs, get the sodas for the day.
- 13:57SPEAKER_00: I see the envelope for the deposit.
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: I don't see my money.
- 14:01SPEAKER_00: So I come upstairs.
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: I'm like, yo, Leo.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: I see the deposit money.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: Where's my cash?
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: And he's like, oh, you mean the money that I needed to smooth things over with the drug dealers on Jerome Street?
- 14:17SPEAKER_00: Turns out the reason my dad's laundromat had$12,000 the first day of business is because my dad's a local loan shark.
- 14:29SPEAKER_00: Some of his biggest clients happen to be on Jerome Street.
- 14:33SPEAKER_00: So he's like, Gastar, I don't care that you did something stupid.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: But if you're gonna do something stupid, do it smart.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: For example, when you rob local drug dealers, try not to do so in the car that the local loan shark uses to drop off their money.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: Lesson learned.
- 15:08SPEAKER_00: I was trying to buy a home when I got married.
- 15:12SPEAKER_00: Had my kid on the way, you know, so I talked to my dad.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: I had money saved, but I had enough to buy a home that I wanted.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: And he smirks, comes back from his office, and he hands me a checking book.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: It's under my name.
- 15:28SPEAKER_00: I'm like, what's this?
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: He's like, Gastar.
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: I'm real proud of the man you are.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: You have good character, you're tough, and you do things that I can't do.
- 15:40SPEAKER_00: And you avoided doing the things that I had to do, and I'm real proud of you for that.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: But in order to get you here, it cost me a lot.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: Like actual money, it cost me a lot.
- 15:53SPEAKER_00: So every time you did something stupid, you know, break a window, playing baseball, steal my car and wreck it, or rob local drug dealers.
- 16:06SPEAKER_00: I put the money that it cost me to fix that problem, and I put the same amount of money into this account.
- 16:13SPEAKER_00: $83,200.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: And that's the money I use to make the first down payment on my house.
- 16:29SPEAKER_00: So when people ask me, can you raise a good kid in East New York, Brooklyn?
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: I say, Yeah.
- 16:35SPEAKER_00: All it takes is patience, love, and a spend eighty thousand dollars.
