  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. So 2024 dick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: My friend had a joke of how people in Louisiana,
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: like blue-collar guys, workers, they'll verbally express their resume to
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: you to hire them, but their resume is like, oh,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I don't do pills no more. I do good work,
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: like whatever. And that's how they get the job.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I'd rather hire you if you do do pills. They
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: do better work.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: 90 degree angles only, bro. One dude told me once. Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that's what we expected.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: When I was off that shit, bro, I was on it, bro. Really?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Employee of the month. Nuh-uh. Depends on which specific one
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: When I was managing a restaurant, Xanax was not my friend.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I let them do whatever they wanted.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I think that's where me and you differ. They were
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: all my friends.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, some were better friends than others. Well, if you
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: want to get into that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, who was a better, I don't know if
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: there's a term for better drug user. I wasn't good
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: at it. I think I was too sensitive with drugs.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: Scott and I were both way too good at it.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: He started young. I started young. I started young. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: then basically by 16, by 16, I was- I had
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: my first pain pill. I was drinking before that. And
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: every time I drank, I blacked out. Like, you know
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: what I'm talking about. I couldn't help it.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So you would do it every time.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Every time it wasn't like, Scott was balls
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: to the walls, balls to the wall every time. Yeah.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: I had no control whatsoever, but I took my first
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: pain pill at 16. And then from then I was like, fuck,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I want to, I want to feel like this every day.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Like I get it now.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Cause I grew up the way I grew up. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: hated all that shit from just growing up. I did.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I, I'm never going to touch
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: any of that shit. And I didn't for a long
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: time until I did. And then once I did, you.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Know, it's like, I get it. I get it now.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I get why.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: So from 16 on to 2019, every day, yeah, it
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: was everyday balls to the wall. It started with pain pills,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: went to stronger pain pills, went to heroin. Then the
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: worst it got was toward the end where I was
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: just speedballing all day like, 20 Adderall a day, 20
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Xanax a day to calm me down from that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: That's the Louisiana speed bump.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: And then, you know, whatever, opiates, we can get fentanyl patches, whatever, dude. Oh, yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: People will do pickleback heroin in Louisiana. People will be like,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: what are you doing, bro?
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Shit, that drug's always been super prevalent down here, especially
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: in New Orleans, you know?
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: What about your, like, do you remember taking your first
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: pain pill ever or no?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I had surgery when I was 13.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: I had two screws put in my ankles for a
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: skateboarding injury that I got into when I was 13.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: And they did surgery. And then I was prescribed Vicodin.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: And I would just lay in my bed. The Vicodin
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: pill bottle would be above on my headboard. And every
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: few hours, I was supposed to take one. And I
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: got hooked. And after I got recovered and I started
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: being a teenager and being social and all that stuff,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: that's what I wanted to find was painkillers.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I remember once I took a couple of somas, bro,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and I didn't, I felt like I didn't have any
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: arms for almost half a day.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: Well, like the Trinity is supposed to be a Percocet,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: a Soma, and a Xanax. You ever seen the pharmacist
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: that like documentary on that?
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: That was the thing, bro.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: It was like 200, 200 lower tabs, 180 Xanax and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: 120 Soma. It was like the Trinity that they prescribed
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: to everyone.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, I remember they busted a mall Santa in
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Tarrytown with like 100 somas on him or something.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Shout out big Tarrytown.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro. A town full of so many Terrys, they
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: named it after them. It's crazy, bro.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Hey, Terry will get you flooring, bro. Some dudes, they
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: were so fucked up, they put flooring on the ceiling, bro.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You're like, damn, bro, this dude put flooring on everything.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God, dude. They'll floor your yard in Louisiana, bro.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: They don't give a fuck, dude. They'll floor a baby crib.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: They'll floor it, damn, bro. New tile for the baby crew.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: They'll floor your grandfather, bro.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: You'll leave him sitting.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Around long enough. The mausoleum's got new tiles. Yeah, fucking right.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: You guys, that's crazy. You remember your first pain pill. Oh, yeah.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: That's crazy to think of how strong they are and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: how powerful they are, that that's like a core memory.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Bro, it's like a very euphoric, it's almost like a
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: coming to Jesus moment. It's like this, ah. Mine happened
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: in a different situation. My papa died.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Had passed away when I was 16, and he was
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: like my dad. Me and him were super tight.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I loved that man.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: And when he passed away, I came across a pain pill.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Coping with the sadness?
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and at that point, I was just like, this
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: is too painful. I can't deal with this.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Fuck it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And he had his funeral that day. For me, it
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: had the opposite effect. I didn't get sick. I didn't
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: get tired. I felt great.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I know. I felt euphoric. You know what I'm saying?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I was running around the funeral home. I gave a eulogy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Everybody stand.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: You'll get a goddamn emancipation proclamation.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Look, I will say to this day, I've heard it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the only eulogy with a trap beat behind it. So
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I am saying that that's the rumor.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Going around, bro. DJ Scream with that eulogy. Dang, that's crazy.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: So do you think you would have been able to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: get that eulogy if you weren't on the pills?
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: No.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Wow. I was too hurt.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's how, like, I wonder if that,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: was that like the first time you ever, like, kind
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of spoke?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: It was the.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: First time in my life that I was comfortable in
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: my skin. That I felt like my whole life, like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: there was something off. Like, I didn't belong here. You
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Like, I could never be comfortable in my own skin.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: That was the first time where that happened to me.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I felt good. I didn't have a care in the world.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: And I was like, I made it a point. I
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: told myself, I remember, I'm going to feel like this
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: every day for the rest of my life. And that's
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: what I set out to do from the time I
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: woke up to the time I went to sleep.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: So how does music even get started then by you
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: guys if y'all are already... Well, It's hard to get
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a pillhead to finish painting the bassboards, dude.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'm probably the most productive.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: If you hold pills above their head, you can get
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: them to do anything you want. Anything you want, they'll
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: do it. I don't know.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Our paths started differently.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it wasn't like we were so fucked in
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: the beginning. It was very much a fun thing, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: we were ignorant and thinking like, That story that you
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: hear about death and jail, that's not going to happen
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: to us. Because we're smarter than that. We know how
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: to do this the right way. But give it 10 years,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: and we're at that point. So the music always came first.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: It was never drugs first. The music was always first.
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: And then at some point, the lines got blurred a
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so then who starts the music first, man? Because
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: one thing that's crazy about you guys' music, I was
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: listening to so much of it over the past month,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: trying to decipher, like, OK, is there certain people Like,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: where did some of the sounds come from? Like, little things.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I hear a little bit of, like, Bone Thug
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: maybe I would hear.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: You used to get that so much when we first started.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Did you really?
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: We used to get it compared to Bone Thugs all
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But then sometimes I would be watching, I would almost
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: think of that movie Gummo or something a little bit.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Did you ever see that movie?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I've never seen Gummo. He's seen a lot of movies.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It's super artistic and, like, bizarre. It's very bizarre. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: kind of, like, off-violent kind of, like, Yeah, I mean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: even just looking at that picture.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: It's disturbing. Like, it's a disturbing movie.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And I was like, this shit, it's like, it feels,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: it's music, but it feels like a disturbance. That's what
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: you guys start, like, some of y'all's stuff feels like
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that to me. Yeah. Like, I want to disturb shit.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we want to disturb shit. We want to make
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: people feel weird. We want to make people feel, I
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: don't know, at first we were super edgy, like, just
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: saying crazy shit just to see reactions out of people.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Going for the shock factor.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Shock value, all that thing. Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: But you must have liked that. Like, there's a thing
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that you, you know what I'm saying?
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: I like pressing buttons.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. For me, I grew up on, like, 3-6.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: That was my biggest influence in old Memphis.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Which is like the spine of suicide. Yeah, yeah, like
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: old Memphis music from, like, the 90s.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: And my uncle put me on that when I was, like,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: eight years old, and I just got obsessed. But other
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: than that, I came from more of, like, a trap.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: music background, like trap house dope deal and all that shit.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: And then him from the punk background.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: And like hip hop. I was on the hip hop tip.
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: I was like an old head at like 25 years old.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I was bringing like boom bap. I was like, this
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: isn't philosophical enough for me. That's where we differ also.
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: He made me realize that I was taking myself way
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: too seriously. as far as like my taste in music goes.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: And I think a lot of people from New Orleans
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: have like this elitist taste in music because you know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: the city's pretty like, you know, there's music everywhere, every day,
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: every night, there's music all over the place. So I
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: think growing up here, you kind of like, at least
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: I did develop this elite taste and he's the one
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: that kind of knocked me down a couple pegs. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: I realized, oh, some music is just fun. It doesn't
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: have to be so serious like with a message and shit.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. That's the vibe I get from like, and
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: even getting a, go to a, Go to one of
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: y'all shows, just like, there's this legion of people that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: wanna just have this experience. They wanna be in this
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: disturbing moment. They like the song, but it's almost like
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they're anthems too to them. To feelings that they have.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: It's interesting.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: That's a good way to put it, bro.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Dude, it's a lot of, a lot of these kids
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: are like misfits and outcasts and weirdos. And like he said,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: never felt comfortable in his own skin. I can relate
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: to that very well, myself. So I think we provide
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: a place for these kids to feel like they're surrounded
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: by their people.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And they come and they like, yeah.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: And that's like this, this emotional, like, um, they can
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: like get their emotions out by getting in the pit
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: or yelling lyrics or like, you know, maybe you'll meet
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: a girl there.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: You might meet your best friend there.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I always like to think that after these shows, like
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: these kids stay in touch and like, yeah, it's like
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: whole community.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And they do. I've seen it. They do.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: And, I think they share a connection with us, which
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I love because I don't ever want them to look
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: at us as, I want us to be humanized to them.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, it felt like it did.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I remember even going from backstage and being around the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: people that the night I was there, I think you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: guys had Shakewell.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Nashville? Yeah, Nashville.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And who else? Tall Black Dude.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Germ.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Nyle Lavelle. Nyle Lavelle was there. Shakewell Cheddar was there.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Cheddar was there. He had Turnstile. No, not that. Pouya? Pouya, no.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: And he wasn't there. Yeah, Cheddar was there.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: But I remember from even just the people that were backstage,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the people working with y'all. To the crowd, I couldn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: tell the difference between who the fuck was who anyway.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? I accused seven people of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: being the damn Shakewell and Chet. I met two girls
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that looked like Chet. And look, Chet is a handsome guy.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: He's a good looking dude.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And they were pretty girls.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying, it felt like all the same people.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: It just feels like... It doesn't feel like there's a...
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: It's uniform.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: It's like.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like you guys are in a superior place.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I don't ever want anyone to feel like I think
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I'm better than them.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: I don't like that. You know what I'm saying? I
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: don't like that at all.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I never want to be looked at as if I
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: punched down or anything. Yeah, no. I hope I would
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: never put myself out there to be looked at in
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: that light because I don't feel like I'm better than...
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: even the people that come to the show, I don't
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: feel like I'm better than any of them. The people
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: that are helping us at the shows and working and
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: putting the sets together and security.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, we thank them every night.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: We thank the security and then the venue workers because
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: it's true, without them, you know, it takes a lot
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: of people to throw a show and to throw a
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: tour and it's not just all about the glitz and
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: the glamour because we, people know our names and our faces.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: You know, a lot of people put hard work into
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: this and, you know, Scott and I have been able
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: to remain humble throughout all of this and, We love
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: meeting the fans and talking with them, but we do
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: have our boundaries. And we've never been a dick to
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: the fans except if they deserved it. You know, I
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: use that word loosely, but, you know, kind of crossing
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: that boundaries and posing on our personal space a little
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: too much to where we have to say something.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I got into it with a commie in my comments
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: the other day. You know, like shit like that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: A communist guy? Yeah.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He said he was going to come take all my shit.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I had to let him know. Come try.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Dude, to take all somebody's shit, that would take two
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: or three days, bro.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: You can't. He told me I was outnumbered. I don't know.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: He had an ex-girl.
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry this is too much, but he had an
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: ex-girl take all his shit out of his house in
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: a couple days.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: That was possible. It's possible. I was in rehab with
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a bag of.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Underwear, some shirts from H & M that Kyle bought
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: me for rehab and like fucking 10 grand left in
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: my name, which sounds like a lot to some people,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: but You know, I mean, at the time, bro, I probably,
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I had like a million dollar house and what, a
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: million dollars, you would say?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And I was, that's what I was down to.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, dude.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Well, it's funny because sometimes when you go to rehab
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and shit, people will pack a bag and the most
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: thing they put in there the most, bro. underpants bro
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: it's almost like it's important but it's like bro at
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: least help me i was like i'll figure the rest
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: out yeah you know what i'm saying you'll see somebody
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: in rehab wearing like underpants as a shirt oh bro
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: i went to i went to like target before i
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: went to rehab and just bought all cozy comfortable clothes
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: ruby's in a bunch of onesies that is something he
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: would do i mean at that you can't go anywhere
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you can't do anything you don't have a phone so
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: what's the point in like trying to dress to impress
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: like Ruby's.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Got one of those portable fireplaces. Yeah. They had Roku's
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: in the, um.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: So when you guys first start putting the tunes together,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: then how does that kind of happen? I mean, I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of lore out there, but I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: just want my fan base to know too, man, that,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you know, you guys are out of Louisiana. You guys
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: have created this universe. That's really super unique, man. Like
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: you guys, this thing is, um, it's its own thing.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: It's its own fan base. It's its own, I never
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: know who will be a Suicide Boys fan.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: That's a good point, bro.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: It trips me out, too, bro. I don't think we
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: haven't gotten used to any of this either, bro.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Like, even coming.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Here today, it was, like, really nerve-wracking. You know, we're
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: really introverted. But as far as the music, I mean,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: when you say, like, how does it get created, are
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: you talking about, like, from a creative standpoint when we
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: get together and actually make the song or like, how
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: did we get together and get to this point?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you mean like the origin or like?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you guys are cousins, right? I know
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: you guys have that family. I mean, I even think
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that you guys look alike. People tell you that a lot?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Our moms are sisters. Oh, yeah? He looks kind of
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: like my brother, but I don't think we've ever gotten
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: compared personally. Maybe when we were younger.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: When we were younger.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: But it's just, it's the kind of wildest sound or
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: feeling or thing to come out of New Orleans. It's
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: really interesting because you wouldn't think it. Say if you
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: played you guys' music for People from, you know, and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: they were like, where do you think this came out of?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they would say New York, you know?
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they wouldn't.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: But it's just, what you guys have is so unique.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: It's not mainstream. It's your own thing. It's huge. I mean,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you guys play, you guys are playing arenas, you know?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: It's like, it's fucking crazy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And it's kind of, it's all you and your fans thing, right?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: That's what I think is, feels like it's y'all's thing.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It almost feels I almost feel like an outsider even
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: getting to spend time with you in a way. Right.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, you and I are close and and I'm
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: grateful to, you know, we're both from Louisiana. But and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: so I'm grateful for it. But still, I know that
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that's y'all's world.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And, um, so I guess what I'm asking, yeah. Like
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: how does that first thing start to kick off and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: how do you know you're making something that you feel
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: brave enough to put out there?
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Or were you just wait? Were you just kind of?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: So he started off, like he used to rap, and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you were in a lot of bands growing up.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: My path was different. I started off DJing when I
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: was 13. I was listening to Q93. You know Q93.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, bro. And DJ Ro was on there, and it.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Was the first time I ever heard someone blend two
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: songs together, and it tripped me out. So my parents
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: got me like this little $ 100 CD. DJ set up
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: for Christmas. I started from there. Fast forward, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I'm DJing parties, all that, throughout high school. Oh, that
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: was some fire, huh? Friday, yeah, it went down. It
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: went down. Kyle knows.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: It went down. People needed you then, bro. We had
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: some good times, bro. It was wild. Legendary times.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: And then 19, fast forward, I'm about 19, and that's
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: when I got into producing. and engineering, like recording people
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: and mixing. I never really wanted to rap. I would
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: do it for fun, but I never, I thought it
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: was whack to be white and be a rapper. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: didn't see too many out there that pulled it off good.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to really know you can do it.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was like, I always felt like my
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: place was more behind the scenes. And then I'd made
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: a couple mixtapes for fun while on like my off
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: days when I was working at the furniture store.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: He reaches back out to me. He was selling furniture, bro.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Winer Court, bro.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Signing used furniture out there.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro. Who was it for, bro? What furniture? Winer Court. Yeah,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Winer Court, bro.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Dude, I rented some shit for a fucking Winer Court
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: one time. During Katrina, I had an apartment or something,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and we put some furniture in there, some Winer Court, bro.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: And somebody, yeah, some dude stole, like, we had three
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Ottomans in that bitch, bro. Some dude took just the Ottomans.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That was a crazy thing, you know. You don't see
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of just solely Ottoman theft.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I don't. You can take the love seat, bro.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Because who's going to lay on the floor and just
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: put their feet up?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: He must have been desperate, bro. So that guy's a
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: real adventure guy. Yeah, I like it. I like his style.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't even be mad at him, you know what
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: I'm saying?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: If you're just taking an ottoman, I ain't even.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: So when people came in the door, you was showing
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the furniture?
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, bro.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, my. Well, if I could, fuck it, that would
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: be my dream, dude, if I showed up and you
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: got to show me furniture.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I had to fade back then. My face had to
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: be shaved.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: I had to wear makeup on my hands at one
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: point because I got my hands tattooed, which ultimately got
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: me fired. But I worked there for like three years.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: And then we were like, we would keep in touch
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: with each other. He would hit me up. And I
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: think it was around, yeah, it was when I got fired.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you had just graduated from Loyola,
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: but he wanted to come and film a music video
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: for one of my songs, which I thought he was
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: trolling me the whole time.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? He said no the first time. Yeah,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: he's fucking with me.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: He said no. He's the one. That convinced me. He's like, nah,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: you're actually pretty good at rapping, bro. You should take
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: this serious. And then from there, that's how we linked up.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: We did that video. And then.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: G59 came about because that was like our little clique back.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: In high school. And even a little bit after high school,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: we thought we were thugs, bro.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: We thought we were gangsters and shit. And everybody on
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: the east side of Highway 59 and our color was gray.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: We thought we were banging and shit.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: We thought we were bad.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: And a lot of those guys either died from drug
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: overdoses or got in trouble or some shit. So, but
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: we kept the name alive by like, we got together,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: we're like, all right, you know, let's.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: The name was already there. Yeah. He was, yeah. Adi
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: was the one that pointed that out. Like, this is,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: let's roll with this.
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Well, I just thought G59, Gray59 was a hard ass
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: fucking name and he was already repping it.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: So I figured we linked up. Why not just run
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: with that? Yeah. You know. Anything I missed? Like.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I was actually going to say, I was going to
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: say it's funny because when he started making beats back
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: in like 2008, 2009, he bought a Mac book, started
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: making beats. And around that time I was getting really
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: into like hip hop and currency and stuff like being
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: from down here. And I, he was telling me he
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: was making beats and I was like, yo, can you
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: show me how you do this? Like I would be
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: interested in learning. He's like, yeah, I got you. And
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: he's like, show me how he does it. And I,
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: he taught me how to make beats. It's just so
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: funny that now we're still doing the same shit.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know? Yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: So it just kind of evolved from there and then
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: you start putting on shows locally?
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we would use, we would book shows on like
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: the North Shore and Baton Rouge or whatever because, all right,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: let me be real with you. We knew no one
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: was going to come. No one knew who the fuck
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: we were. We were just starting out.
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: So we knew, we didn't expect anybody to come and
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: we would use those live shows as practice to see
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: what is going to work, what's not going to work.
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: the things we can do to fuck with the crowd
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: And at first.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: We did a lot of open mics, too.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: A lot of open mics.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Open mic. We actually won one of them.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Performing or just as comedy or as music?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: As music.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: It was like bands and rappers and all sorts of shit.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: To win like $ 1, 000. Right, right.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Win $ 1, 000 unlimited or waste.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: And on our third time we did it, we finally won.
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: We won and we just took all that money and
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: bought T-shirts, like blanks, and then we just printed all
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: our own T-shirts.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: We would literally.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: text people, like, want to buy one? And then Scott would, like,
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: drive it to them and deliver it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Bro, that's still what you guys, this whole thing feels
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: like to me. It doesn't feel small like that, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: it feels like that.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Well, dude.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Because I'll see, like, fonts and things, and it's like,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: I don't understand it because I haven't known the music
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: from the beginning, right? Yeah. So I'm like, oh, this
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is their world, but it's just beloved in that space,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: And it's interesting that you say that because, fuck, what
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: did you just say?
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Remind me what you just said.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: About the.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you drove, you would drive over the delivery.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, right. So it is, in a way, it still
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: feels the same. It is the same.
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Our roots.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: You know, obviously we're not driving t-shirts to people anymore,
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: but Scott and I are still very much involved, very hands-on.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: And I think we fucking care, dude.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: This is our baby and we love it and it's
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: loved us back and we want to take care of it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: And distancing ourselves from it because we've gained money and
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: egos is not.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Really something that we're interested in doing. We're very aware
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: of that too, you know. Yeah, this shit has saved
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: our lives, bro.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: I don't know any other force or consequence that might
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: have been powerful enough to make us even consider to
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: go get help and get clean.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: Because we had something to live for. We had something
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: to lose. Not just the business, not just the label,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: but each other.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: It's bigger than us, dude. We employ people.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: It's way bigger than me, him, and it's bigger than
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: any of us, bro.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: I think that's something, like he just said, that we
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: tell ourselves constantly to just keep ourselves down to earth.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: Because it's easy, dude, to be successful and get caught
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: up in yourself. It's easy because if anything, you have
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: to fight that shit off.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you know, bro.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a battle I've dealt with, and some days
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: I win, some days I lose. Over time, it's gotten better. Yeah,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: and especially if you're hands-on, you're doing things, and that
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: becomes a part of it because you want everything to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: be perfect. Learning to let other people help you. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: then your ego can build without you even noticing it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: You think like, oh, I'm just proud of myself, but
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: 95% of that cup could be ego.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, bro.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, man.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: It is. It is.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I think it's funny you say that, though, Scott, like
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: about something saving you. Yeah, there's a lot of times
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: where if I didn't have to apply, I'm like, there's
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: some temptation that'll happen the night before and be like,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: I got a podcast tomorrow. Or I have a show
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: to do. I have some responsibility. I got to get
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: an edit for my producers or one of them's waiting
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: on an email from me or something or I'm waiting
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: from them and it keeps me going.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I would have been, you know, for a long time,
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I would argue that drugs kept me alive because I just,
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I didn't know how to live in this world.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to live in this world at all.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, didn't quite, have the balls
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: to take myself out.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. So I'd say that drugs kept me alive
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: for a long time.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, uh, you know, what made you.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Have so much pain? You think like, what was the,
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: what was the tough part for you? You think, well,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I think it was a mixture, dude. I think it was, um,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: like I said, just, just being born. Like I, I
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: just feeling out of place, like always, like something wasn't right.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Um, Which is like a common theme with addicts. Yeah.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like I'm a large in the world of fucking media. Yeah.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: The world of 7XL.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm wandering around in my own shirt. I'm trying
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to find a neck hole, bro.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: So I think it's a, and they've, they've done a
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: lot of, I mean, they've done a lot of work
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: on this and they know it's like genetics. I won't
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: get into all that, but you know, part of that.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: And I think also, you know, the way I grew
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: up and, When I say this, dude, I love everyone
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: in my family. I'll go above and beyond for any
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: one of them. But everybody was doing the best they
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: could with what they knew how to do.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: But it was still tough. It was some tough shit
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: to grow up in. So that didn't help.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: But I'll tell you the biggest thing, and I'll shut up.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: That way I don't get too overwinded with this because
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: I have a tendency to do that. But I always
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: thought like this thing, Like, okay, the drugs are not
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: working anymore. They're not doing it for me. But this thing,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: this thing's going to do it for me. Once we
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: get to that place, whatever that place is in my head,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: whenever I get that thing, that's gonna do it for me.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: And then I got really suicidal when we got there,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: wherever there is.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: And nothing changed.
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: And nothing changed. Now I feel worse, because if this
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: don't work, what's gonna do it? And that's when I
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: really started to spiral. And for me, and I'll end
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: it with this, The answer for me has been getting
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: involved in the 12-step programs. It's been more of a
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: spiritual answer rather than the material.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I remember I was in my garage probably two years ago, man.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I was talking to my brother on the phone. I
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: was like, nothing will save me. It was like I
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: got people that are like me. I thought that's what
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: was my problem. same if enough people like me i'll
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: like me yes yeah yeah yeah and it was like
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: fuck man yeah one day it.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Makes me emotional i it's ass backwards because you have
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: to like yourself first and then yeah the other stuff but.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: It's crazy to think man you know that that's kind
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: of the way that it that it could kind of
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: process and and um yeah but i see you in

• 33:43
  Speaker 4: No, but Theo, I was three months sober, bro. Just
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: living on my own, just got to where I was
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: living on my own in California, where I went and
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: got sober. And I came across your video on YouTube.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: That was my introduction to you. And it was why
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I got sober. It was that video.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: And then from there, you know, I watched that video
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: and you inspired me, bro.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: And you gave me hope.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: And then That's when I did a deep dive on
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: you and started watching all, like, your greatest hits and
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: highlights and shit, laughing my ass off.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: That's funny, bro.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: That's how I came to know you. But, yeah, before
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: we even knew each other, bro, you gave me a
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: little bump when I needed it, too, with that video.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Gang, man. Thanks, bro.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy kind of, I think, the connection that
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: people get going through, like, if they're using or if
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: they're recovering. It's like on both sides of that, it
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: seems like there's probably a lot of connection. You guys
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: could probably speak to that, huh?
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: You think? What you mean?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Like even on the using side, there's like a level
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of connection that that keeps people.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yeah.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, that'll keep you in, in the act of
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: addiction by, you know, you kind of almost, when I
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: was buying pills and shit and snorting Roxy's, I never
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: wanted to do them alone. So I would share with
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: everybody and I was making money so I could buy
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: a bunch and I would share with people that were
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: my friends that didn't make as much money and they
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: were glad, happy to get free pills. And I could
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: like be in my dark shit, but not alone. I
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: think a lot of addicts are chasing loneliness. They're chasing...
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: They're having trouble with self-acceptance. And I think finding your
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: little group of similar drugs that you want to do
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: together definitely makes you feel like you're safe and at home.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: And then the exact opposite happens when you get off
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: of them too.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: You find your people that want to stay away from
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: that shit and it kind of strengthens your little community
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: that you're in.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: What were some of the... What have been some of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the highlights? Because you guys have a success that I think.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of people don't really know it in a
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: lot of ways. A lot of people do, but y'all
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: aren't a mainstream thing. Is that offensive to say to you?
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: No, not at all.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: If anything, I kind of take offense to the opposite,
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: that people do consider us mainstream, and I don't think
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: we are. We are in maybe how popular we are
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: or how many people listen to us, but you're not.
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: Going to see us.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: People like to gatekeep.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially our fan base. They love to gatekeep.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: What does that mean when people say gatekeep? They feel
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: like it's their thing.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, bad.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: You have to deserve to be our fan.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: It feels like that, though.
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: You know, every fan that we meet, whether it's like
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: we're just out and about and we run into somebody
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: that recognizes us, I ask him, and I bet you
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: he'll back me up, 10 times out of 10, they
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: tell me that they've listened to us since 2015.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Which....
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: Or they'll say, I've been listening to you guys since
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: y'all started. I've been a fan since 2012.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Or since I was in seventh grade, and now they're 20-something. Yeah, exactly.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: But the 2015 thing is funny.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: Someone's still in seventh grade, too, bro.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No disrespect, dude. Hey, bro.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I did fifth twice, homie.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: We've been in there, bro. We've all done a little sentence, man. Yeah,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: It's their world.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: That's why even, like, with talking with you guys, it feels,
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: since I wasn't there from the beginning, you don't feel
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: a little bit of, you're like, oh, this is their thing.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Even when I meet y'all's fans, it feels like that.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: It feels like they're people that have feelings, and they've
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: been through something. That's what it kind of feels like.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Y'all's shows are real interesting, man, because it's such a, like,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: it's such a kickoff, and then it's almost like running
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: downfield the whole show.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, it just feels like a. That's a
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: good way to.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: It's intense, man. And the crowd gets going. I mean,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: this is a lot going on. You got the people
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: up by the front, just like almost like it's like
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: a big lung up there.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: They're just kind of like. He taught me this early on, man.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Like we were doing a show.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: We're about to do a show in New York and
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: only three people were showing up. And me and some
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: other rappers were like, fuck this.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: We ain't doing this.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: And he taught me a lesson early. He's like, bro,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter if one person shows up or thousands.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: You give that person a show. And ever since then,
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: I've ran with that. Anytime I'm out there.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: You did take to that super well.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: If these people are paying to come watch me perform,
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: then the last thing I want to do is just
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: sit there.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: You know, like I want- Right in your own self, yeah. Yeah,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: and just like be still.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that makes sense, but I want
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: to go out there and give them energy, like give
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: them everything I got.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: And like I said, dude, worst case scenario, one person
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: showed up, it's a fucking practice. Like you keep the,
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: you don't get rusty. You keep it going because, you know,
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: we'll tour once a year, really, two, three months at
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: the end of the year. And the first few shows
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: we do, it's kind of like forget what to say.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: Or we'll forget certain lyrics. We're like, fuck, dude, we've
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: done this for 10 years. How are we forgetting this shit?
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: You have to get back in the groove. Yeah, you
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: got to get back in the groove, man. So you guys,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: now there's a new album coming out. What is it
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: like to evolve? Is it scary to evolve? I think
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: about it even in comedy and stuff. I'm like, what
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: the heck? Some of your people that listen to you, they...
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: They listen to you at a certain age, but they're
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: getting older too. Some of them are all different ages.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: So how do you try and apply to everybody?
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: I'm really glad you asked this. That's a great question.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: And how do you try to also apply to yourself
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: at the same time?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: So we might have two different.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: I think it'll be, well, at first, I think at
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: first we were scared to kind of change the sound
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: up because the formula was working and we were worried
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: about like introducing new stuff because what if they don't
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: like it and this and that. And the more successful
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: you get is like the scarier it gets because you
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: think one wrong fucking move and it all crumbles, which
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: isn't true. But we started experimenting, doing some like singing
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: stuff or whatever, and people seemed to fuck with it.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: And then we got to a point to where we
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: didn't really care if they didn't like it or not.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: Scott and I have been making this music for so
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: long now that if we wanted to try something experimental
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: or new I think we deserve to at this point
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: so it can be a scary thing but I think
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: you know don't fear it and just just do it
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: and see what happens.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah I think I agree 100% on everything you said
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: from on a more I don't know if you went
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: through this too but for me on a more personal level,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: when I got sober, it was like I was so scared,
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: because I thought my drug use fueled all my creativity.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was definitely a thought, for sure.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and so for me, once I finally did start
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: getting back into it, it was literally like learning how
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: to walk all over again.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: It is. Really.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: And the sound did kind of change as a result
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: of that, beat-wise, production-wise. More upbeat, more like less... scary
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: and sad sounding.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: So I think the evolution of our music has matched exactly.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: The evolution of us. Of us, yeah. That's a great point.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: That's how I look at it. What was it like.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: If you're on pills and you're deep out on pills,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: I never really got that out on them. If you're like...
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Huff and Trank or whatever. I don't even know what
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: some of the.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Names are, you know?
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Fucking Swamp Pebbles or.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Whatever you're buying now. You can call it anything now.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Looking for a neck hole.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, bro, they'll fucking have a tilapia-flavored perk out here, bro.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: In New Orleans, they don't give a shit, bro. You'll
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: have a fucking pecan-crusted Zandbar.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Out here, bro. You're like, what the fuck? Everybody wants
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: to be a chef in this motherfucker, bro. That's crazy, dude. Yeah,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: praline Adderalls, yeah.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, you'll have a bag of char-grilled somas over here.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Like, damn, this place is crazy, dude. That's pretty funny, bro.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: But what was it like making music when you're under
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: that influence? Is it even possible to make music when
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: you're like that kind of pill high?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: So I'm just curious, like, or is it just possible
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to just, like, listen back? Or is it, do you
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: feel any creative, was there any creativity from the actual
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: high of that?
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know if we worked differently, because I know
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: sometimes you would wait until after we were done.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: To smoke. But this was early on, to smoke. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Weed, it's, I still smoke weed. I couldn't go without it.
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: Ruby couldn't either, you know what I'm saying? So we
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: were constantly on it all day. So it's kind of
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: like just feeling normal. Yeah, I would agree with that.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I was told you doze off and shit.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's like, look.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: How do you find your time to wake? You're both
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: awake at the same time to make a try.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: When you take a Percocet first thing in the morning
• 42:05
  Speaker 5: or whatever your oxy, whatever it is, it's going to
• 42:08
  Speaker 5: give you a boost. Like, I'll come out of that
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: bathroom snorting something and I'm like, what's up, motherfuckers? Like,
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: I'm like on one. And then as you keep dosing,
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: at the end of the day, it's kind of like
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: when you've, you know, you've done all day it and...
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: that's when you start to kind of nod off. It's
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: like your body's like, okay, I'm tapping out. For me,
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: I was mixing so much stuff, so much speed.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: This kid was all over the fucking place. But you
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: can hear it in the music now.
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: Sometimes we go back for laughs and we'll listen to
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: some of the shit I made when I was in psychosis.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: What would you say is the most fucked up you
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: ever were for an album? I want to die in
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: New Orleans. I think mine is... I hate that album.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Stop Staring is mine.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: I hate that album.
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: You did phenomenal on it, but I was so far gone, dude.
• 42:57
  Speaker 4: I was literally in psychosis from doing so much speed
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: and downers, bro. I thought Southwest Airlines was trying to
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: kill me.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: You told me that story once, bro. Yeah, I thought
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Kyle took a life insurance policy out on me for
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: 70 grand.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: This motherfucker.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Bro, that's the most New Orleans shit ever.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Somebody takes a life insurance policy out for $ 700, bro.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: Just for what? To make it their truck payment. That's
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: the fucking most New Orleans shit, bro. I remember that.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: We were in New Zealand when he told me that.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: He thought that they were putting a hit out on us.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: He thought like, what do you say when he sits
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: you down? I put them through hell.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: At one point I was starting to get really impatient
• 43:33
  Speaker 5: with it because like, I was tired of explaining, I
• 43:37
  Speaker 5: was tired of explaining that like this insane theory wasn't
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: actually happening. I would one time, I thought he had
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: my phone. This was one time where he quit suicide
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: boys on Twitter.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember that. Oh, I remember.
• 43:48
  Speaker 5: And he, I remember where I was at the time.
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: He had just bought a condo in Bradenton, Florida, outside
• 43:52
  Speaker 5: of Sarasota. And I can't get in touch with them.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: Kyle can't get in touch with them. And, We decide
• 43:59
  Speaker 5: let's go out there. Let's just press him. Let's be
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: in person. So long story short, we fly down there,
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: rent a car, drive to his apartment. And he doesn't
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: expect us. He doesn't know we're coming. We go upstairs
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: and I knock on the door and he's like, one second.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: I think to myself like, man, I just flew out here.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Fuck that. I'm not waiting a second. I was like, bro,
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: I'm here. What's up?
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: Like, what's the problem? And he was like, give me
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: a second. He had to go to the bathroom, do
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: his little thing, catch my drift. And then we came outside.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: He was ready to talk.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: And this long story to say, I was trying to see,
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: I was like, is he fucking with me? Is he
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: lying to me? Does he think I'm stupid? Or does
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: he actually believe this shit? And is he fucking crazy?
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: So I had to sit him down, and I was like, bro,
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: this Southwest thing, do you think that the people on
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: the board of Southwest.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Sit in a boardroom. Southwest Airlines.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: Southwest Airlines.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: And they discuss how we're going to assassinate Scrim from
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: Suicide Boys. And he looked at me, dead in the eyes,
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: the most serious look on his face, and he goes, yes.
• 44:59
  Speaker 5: And I lost my mind, bro. I took my phone
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: and I threw it on the, I was trying to
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: hit the grass, but I hit the sidewalk.
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: The fucker sparked. And that pissed you off even more.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I thought they were trying to kill me
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: because my brother had bootlegged one of our tracks. And
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: cause he was bad off on dope and sold it
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: to this person for like 800 bucks, but actually didn't
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: give him the song and just scammed them. And I
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: thought the person he scammed was the son of somebody
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: on the board of Southwest and they were just going
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: to take me out.
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: To speak on the other side of things. I'm thinking,
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: what is coming out of his mouth? Is it real
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: or not? Come to find out, the story of his
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: brother stealing a song and selling it is true. And
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting there, and I feel bad because I've been
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: calling him a liar in my head and all this shit.
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: And then I find out it's true. So then I'm like,
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: all right, so is all of this true? I still
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: refuse to believe that the board of Southwest is meeting
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: to discuss his assassination.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: But I had my brother and my family believe that
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: I had fucking time.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Bro, I was very convincing.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: I had fans tweeting at Southwest Airlines on Twitter.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: I did. Yeah. That's crazy.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: But that was toward the end. That was like when
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: I was really spiraling.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Fuck, dude.
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: It's interesting, though, that you guys were at least had
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: a close enough connection, because a lot of bands fall
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: apart from that kind of stuff. A lot of groups,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams fall apart. Everything falls apart.
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: We're family.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought that. I don't know you know that,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: but we're family. Right, but for you to.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Go there and want to actually just to think, let
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: me see what's really going on with him.
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Dude, we've never even hit each other. Like, we've gotten
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: in each other's faces, ready to fucking beat the shit
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: out of each other, and we've both been able, like,
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: you're my cousin, and I don't want to do that.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I don't want to hit you. I fucking hate you
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: right now, but I'm not going to touch you.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Like, and.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: It's gone both ways.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: And I say that the family thing, which obviously doesn't
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: apply to everybody, but we've been able to look at
• 46:51
  Speaker 5: the fact that we're cousins and the fact that we
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: provide for our families, which is a shared family, as
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: a reason to never give up on each other. If
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: this was just one of my friends, I don't think
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: it would have been the same.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: No. No way.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: That's good that you brought that up because a lot
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: of groups just don't make it in general. And doing
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: business with family is usually not a smart way to go.
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: But for us, I mean- It's the only time it
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: worked out. Yeah, I think it's just a unique situation. Bro,
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: we both got the same granny to answer to, and
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: she ain't nothing nice.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? She done FaceTimed me before.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Scary woman.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: She done FaceTimed me before being like, you making music
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: without your cousin?
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's too much. Pressing me.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: And I'd have to call her and be like, granny,
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: I got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's going to think
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: that I'm fucking venting to you.
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Does she stay up late or no?
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: Granny?
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: She's almost 80 now.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: She was a bus driver for the parish, Jefferson Parish,
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: pretty much her whole life.
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro. Drove me to school from kindergarten to high school. Dang, brother.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Real working woman, bro. And Wagaman. Shoot, may handle like grown...
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Like seniors in high school.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, bro, yeah.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I watched her. I'm telling you, you don't want to
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: fuck with that lady. She's from Wagman, bro. Oh, come on.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: Don't throw down.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: The first seat, they'll have a crock pot going.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: In that bitch. Yeah, bro.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: They got lunch going in there. I made you a
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: pot of gumbo.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: That's back when the bus, and I'm going to just
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: pick up a strange on that.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, bro.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: You'd have two raccoons in the fourth row, bro.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Fucking Nutria.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Anything in that bitch, bro. Dude, the bus people used
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: to cut. It used to be like the green seat cover.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: or sometimes they were green and sometimes they were black,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: people would cut a little slice in there and people
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: would put dope all, the bus, they didn't even realize
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the bus the whole time was just driving dope around
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: the fucking city. Damn.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: I never thought of that.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for real.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: People would keep everything. They would slice it and the
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: inside of the seat was hollow. People would keep all kind.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Of shit in there. I was too busy. Crafty motherfuckers, bro.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: I was too busy fingering girls in the back of
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: the bus.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Hey, bro. Oh, you was in the 11th row.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: That was a red light district of the bus.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Randy, put it on Q93.
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: Q93.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: Wild Wayne. Yeah, dude. Remember Wild Wayne, bro?
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. What were some of the things they would say
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: on there?
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Q93, boys.
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: I remember when the Saints were going to the Super Bowl,
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: Q93 hosted like some show at the Holland Wolf and
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: they had like every, that year, because the Saints were
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: doing so well, everybody came out with a Saints song.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: You remember that shit? You remember that shit?
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Wild Wayne hosted this show. It was like all these
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Saints rappers out there. Yeah, yeah.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. Look up Wild Wayne, Q93. See
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: if we can play even their intro.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: I remember DJ Row would come on either four or
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: five o'clock every day.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: DJ Ro in the mix.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I pitched the idea to Wyner Court that they
• 49:51
  Speaker 4: need to advertise on Q93.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: And they did it. They did it? They did it.
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: Wild Wayne, all them came in. Nuh-uh.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we was bumping, bro. That's touching. This is 2002, bro.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: We were selling the shit out some furniture after that.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Did y'all... Was there some moments where you guys got
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: to connect with some local artists when y'all started coming
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: up or how did that kind of go?
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm going to say it. This city fucking hates us, bro.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: They do. We don't get no love.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: We don't get any love from the city, not from
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: people in the city, artists, nothing.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: It's interesting.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: We're not even doing a show this year in New
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: Orleans because we don't feel the love and we're kind
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: of a little annoyed.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we got out of every arena we went to
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: last year, New Orleans absolutely treated us the worst.
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Like garbage, dude. Like they were doing us a favor. Yeah,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: I was actually, like, mind-blown by it.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: And what is it you think? Yeah, what do you
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: think some of that is? You guys are something so different.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that has something to do with it.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: I think people get turned off by the name Suicide Boys,
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: and I know that, like, Mickey Loomis doesn't fuck with
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: us because of that. But what a lot of people
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: don't understand is it's not, you know, it might have
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: started off as, like, a way to say stupid shit,
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: but it's definitely become a thing that, people relate to,
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: and it's become an important part of some kids' lives.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: And Scott and I want people to do well. We're
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: not trying to tear people down. So it's funny how
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: people get the wrong idea. I'm glad you said that,
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: because we never intended. We never had this grand idea
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: or intention for it to turn into this community and
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: turn into what it's... Or have kids being like, yo,
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: you saved my life, or like the emails that Kyle
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: and them get.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: Through fan letters, all sorts of shit.
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: So I think if people were to dig past the surface,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: they would see, but I think that also goes into like,
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: this is bigger than us, dude.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: It's real interesting, man. I get more requests for you
• 51:48

  Speaker 2: I didn't see it. I caught it. I was struggling
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: to stay up, bro. I go to bed. I'm like
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: a grandpa now ever since I got sober. I mean,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: it was late as hell. We were there.
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: We didn't go on stage or whatever until 1230.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: I watched it, man. Yeah, I was rooting for him, bro.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Lafayette boy? Yeah. I think he did great, bro. Me too.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: He did great. I don't even know. Islam one? Yeah,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Islam won. What was in it? By a chokehold?
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was so close. It was in the
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: fourth round. But if this was a crawfish eating competition,
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: you know who would have won.
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all day.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Look, he's almost shaped like a crawfish right there.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: Dustin didn't win, but I really didn't feel like he lost.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, this dude, everybody thought this dude was going
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: to roll.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't want to say that. Safe to say, Nick, huh?
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: People thought that Islam.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Was going to beat him because he beats everybody.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: And Dustin took that dude.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: So he put up a good fight. He's a dog, bro. Yeah.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Dustin is a dog, bro. You got to be, bro.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: You got to be.
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: And you could tell, man, it's just interesting the different
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: ways a lot of people used to express themselves. You know,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: like if it's music or comedy or art.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I've gotten in. We've both gotten into it.
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: Training boxing yeah yeah we've been doing that for the
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: past couple years and bro that in itself is is
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: an art and a science and something to be respected
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: so now when i watch this i have a whole
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: different i grew up watching it with my papa anyway
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: he was a boxer but like i watched these guys
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: bro and and the amount of respect i have for
• 56:13
  Speaker 4: them just in the little training that.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: We do you know what i'm saying i'm like it.
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: Seems like these guys are built different anything you watch
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: skateboarding boxing whatever it is it seems easy then once
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: you actually get in it, you realize, oh, this is
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: not easy.
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: You throw four.
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: Punches and you're winded, and you're like, how the fuck
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: these dudes do this for nine rounds?
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. This is him at the end, I think.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: We can play this.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: And I'm not 100%, but if this is my last fight,
• 56:38
  Speaker 4: I wanted to dedicate this journey to the people who
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: may be the man I am, and that's the women
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: in my life.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: To my grandmother, I.
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: Miss you every day.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: And I know I'm still protected.
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: By your prayers. Oh, yeah.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Wow. That is so funny, dude.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: What a beautiful moment, man. Really cool. You say that's
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: his last fight?
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Hold on. I'm not sure. He's a fighter, man.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: I think the thing about him, he just like, even
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: if you don't get the W, it's like he just,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: there's something about him, he shows up to fight. Yeah.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: And that's what I think everybody can relate to. It's like,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: all right, I can go fight, you know, I can
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: fight through another day in my life, whether it's just
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: feeling okay or.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Well, when he was talking in the post-conference.
• 57:39
  Speaker 4: Interviews, he was, you know, bringing up the uncertainty of
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: his future and, Any time lately people bring that up,
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: it makes me think about us. What we would do. Yeah,
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: and what's next.
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: I think we just give up music, train for 10 years,
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: and then we can put on our own headlining fight.
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: I'm buying it.
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: Me versus you. I don't want to do that. We
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: can pull a Sopranos, and right as the fight's about
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: to start, it fades to black. Like their money.
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Now, that's brilliant. That's brilliant.
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to hit you, bro.
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: I just told him I'm not going to fucking hit you.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: That's brilliant.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Y'all can fight somebody. Maybe the Yin Yang Twins.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: How old are they?
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:16

• 58:22
  Speaker 5: like the whole time.
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. That show is so entertaining.
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they got, well, the Saints took their song, wasn't it?
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I always thought that was kind of weird.
• 58:30

• 58:34
  Speaker 2: and made it into the... Oh, really?
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, okay. Yeah, but I think there was some copyright issue.

  Speaker 1: That's Yin Yang?
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: So K.

  Speaker 5: front of me and Scott and rolls over his shoe.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 5: And Scott, well, we both do, but Scott loves white shoes.

  Speaker 5: You know, the thing with white shoes is don't fucking
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: scuff them.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: Keep them clean. And don't ride a bike over them.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 4: Don't ride a bike over them. It's not asking much.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: He flipped out. And I'm just laughing the whole time
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: because I just thought it was funny. But he was like,
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 5: what the fuck? And this girl looks so scared, bro.

• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: Come on. Damn. That is a way to prove yourself.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: That's a short version of the story.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: There's something about walking around a school when nobody talks
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: to you that you create this own universe in your head.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. My high school?
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: No, it's like a first-person game. It's like, you know,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: you're living in a first-person shooter world.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 5: I was going to say, he had that experience, my
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 5: experience in high school.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: I went to Jesuit.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: It was all boys, Catholic, prep school, whatever.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: And I definitely did not fit in in that school.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: To this day, if I say that.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you went to Jesuit.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: See, when I say I went to Jesuit, people are like, what?
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 5: You went to Jesuit? And I got involved with drugs early.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: I was like 14. Earlier than me.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: I was actually going to say that story too.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 5: I was like 14 and I started, I was like,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 5: I'm going to try it all because I just tried
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: weed and it wasn't as bad as they said it was.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to try it all. I'm going to
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: fuck bitches. I'm going to do crack, all that shit.

• 1:05:09
  Speaker 5: Fuck bitches and smoking crack. Which is funny because those
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 5: two things really don't go together actually. But anyway, I
• 1:05:15

• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: how everybody thought I was crazy and I liked it.

  Speaker 5: confirmed all of this. To pay for your own way
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 5: to private school?
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: Why would I do that, first of all?
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 5: Second of all, I confirmed it all. I was like, yeah,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 5: all that's true. And let me tell you something, bro.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: No one fucked with me. Like, everyone let me be.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: They thought I was cool, whatever. And that was my

  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: That was a fun time though, bro. Yeah, we used
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: to always hear stories about Lil Wayne driving to school.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Did y'all hear that story?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: Uh-uh.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: That Lil Wayne, like somebody got him a car when
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: he was 14.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: He didn't even have a license. I believe it. And
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: he would drive.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: To school when it was like a Hummer, I don't know,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: whatever was hot at the time.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: Fucking Prowler. Yeah, something like that.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: And he would drive in park by the teachers and shit.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: And nobody said nothing. That was like a rumor that
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: we always heard.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Shit, that dude was famous since he was 14. That
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: shit's crazy.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: And in juvenile, they used to have a rumor he
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: chased a woman with an ice pick.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: That wasn't a rumor. I'm pretty sure that was real.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: On the North Shore. Yeah, in the neighborhood I live in.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: I remember like... So as a result of that, when
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: I was.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: At least name a road after him, bro.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: Check this out. When they found out I was moving in,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: the whole HOA had a meeting about a rapper. Oh, just... No,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: when I first moved into that neighborhood a couple years ago,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: they had a meeting about whether or not we like
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 4: this rapper moving in.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: But I mean, little do they know that.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, dude, I'm so low key, bro. It happened
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 4: to us too when we had recently moved to Florida.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, Florida too.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and they found out these two rappers were moving
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: into the neighborhood and they threw a fucking fit, bro.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: They were not having it and then we move in,
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 5: they realize- We like are quiet, nice, friendly guys. I
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: was like picking up my neighbor's kid from his school.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's been a history of like, I mean,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: you had like, when I was in college, Master P
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: would come over to the rec center and shoot ball.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, really?
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: And he would come with Silk. And he would come with.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: Shout out Silk. Yeah.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: He would come with. Silk's still in jail.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: Isn't he? No, C-Murder's still in jail. C-Murder, yeah.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: C-Murder would come with him. And they would have all
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: kind of guys over there. But then some of those, yeah,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: like see, Murder went to jail. You had Juvenile went
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: to jail for a while. Then BG went to jail.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: I think there's so much history of a lot of
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: New Orleans rappers, like Mystical went to jail.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: So you have a lot of that culture. I think
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: it probably- Damn, I didn't even put.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: All that together. How many New Orleans rappers?
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: It gets fearful for a lot of guys. You know,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Boosie was in jail for- A long time.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: Like what, five years, four years?
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, eight, I think. Maybe seven.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: Eight? Goddamn.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: Goddamn. I mean, when you think about that. That's crazy.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: That's why Boosie moved out, bro. That's why he got
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: out of here. BG was in jail for like a decade.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: When my dad was in jail.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: BG was in jail. No way.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: His dad told us a story about his dad was
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 5: in St. Tammany and so was BG. Apparently, BG one
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: day just got fed up. Because imagine being a rapper,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: you go to jail, how many people are trying to
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: freestyle to you?
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. You know, like, put me on, whatever.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: Put me on and I'm in jail. Yeah, put me on.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: Just walking in here, they were doing it. But go ahead.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: There you go. Exactly.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: So apparently, BG one day makes an announcement to everybody saying,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: If one more motherfucker comes up to me in free size,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna have a big problem. And they said, okay, bet.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: And they just beat the shit out of him anyway
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: or something like that.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Your dad was in St.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Tammany? Yeah, he was in St. Tammany. For like eight months,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: ten months, something? Six.

• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: What was it?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: It was like.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: It was like a scheduling thing, and he wanted a
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 4: little more control over it.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: Like we, there was things where like we couldn't, like
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: just you couldn't ask about it, you know, so it
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: was almost like then you're just an advertisement for like
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: a movie or something.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: If you do not want to ask, like talk about
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: the slap.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, or even you couldn't even ask, and I wouldn't
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: have said like, hey, what do you hit a guy
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: or something?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: I would be like.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: Maybe what's been going on in your life that that's been,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: that's been hectic for you the past couple of years,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: you know, just talk about like what makes you feel
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: like that. Yeah. I don't need to know like the
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: detail just seemed like he would be having a tough
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: time probably.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Unless something was going on between them guys. But, but
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of times too, it's the agents that'll say
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: that shit and the artists or whatever, don't have any clue.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just how they want to control and
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: pop and prop.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: Not us. We talk all the time.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 5: Everybody's on the same page because a lot of things
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 5: didn't happen because of being fucked up from all of us.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 5: We all have dropped the ball at some point a
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 5: little bit with communication, so now the four of us,
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 5: that is the most important thing is communication and trust.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: So any fucking relationship. It doesn't matter if it's professional
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 4: or romantic. It's hard to find people to trust, bro.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: I have a lot of trust issues. I've been fucked
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: over a lot in many ways. So I'm grateful.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: That I have him and I got these guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: Kyle's my best friend.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're all brothers now, but me and Kyle
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 4: were best friends since high school.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: He helped wash them bike tires off your shoes.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: But, bro, we wouldn't. I mean, we were doing our thing,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: and they helped take us to another level. You know
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying?
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: It really is. Only good things can only happen with
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: a group effort. It's definitely.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: Kanye said something not that long ago, man, where he's like, something,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 4: I'm going to mess it up, but something to the
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 4: effect of like nothing's a solo project.
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: Nothing is a solo project.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 4: You know, like nothing's a solo, to your point, you
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying? Like it takes a team of people.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: It really does. I believe that.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: And even then the team of people to absorb it
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: and listen to it and want to feel it.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: You know, because it's interesting that listeners of things, and
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: even us when we listen to stuff, we get a
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: whole different thing out of it than the creator gets.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 4: It's really kind of wild. That's actually a good point, Theo.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 5: I don't think that point gets brought up enough either
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 5: because the listeners or the audience rather is just as
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: important part. of what the fuck we do and what
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 5: you do. That doesn't get brought up a lot, I think.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because you could be a good chef, but if
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: nobody's enjoying this shit. You know, nobody thought they're licking
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: their lips or whatever. Or putting a little bit in
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: their napkin for the Doberman at home or whatever, bro.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: Put some Zatarains on it.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, we used to have a lunch lady, bro. She'd
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: take everything. Bro, you wouldn't even be done. She'd be like,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get this for my dog.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: I'd be like. Bitch, I ain't even had one.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: Can I have my crust back?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: I'm about to put a fur coat on and fucking
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: hang out on your porch, then I'm fucking starving. Because
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: she come take it off your plate before you even
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: got to eat, man.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: That's too funny.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: But you guys love New Orleans. Are you guys featuring
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of you guys' videos and stuff? You know,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: it's obviously like a part of your life that you,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: so even if you haven't felt like as much of
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: a fan base here, you guys still have a lot
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: of love for Louisiana. Yeah.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, dude, I think we both have a lot
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 5: of love for just the Gulf Coast in general. This
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 5: is the region we're from. We're comfortable here.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: Shaped who we are. Yeah.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 4: A lot of our personality, style.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: Sure. All of that. But, yeah, I mean, dude, New Orleans.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: And someone told us this early on. I remember this.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: This is when.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 4: So basically, if I can give you a visual presentation,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 4: we were trying to go like this.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 2: Start local, build regional. go like that.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 4: Someone informed us, I'm grateful they did. This is when
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: SoundCloud started popping, internet rappers like Young.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: Lean, Bones, Zay when he was Ethel Wolf, all that
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: was popping off.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 4: Someone was like, you basically got to attack the internet
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: because everybody here knows who you are. Johnny sees you
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: at the gas station three times a week buying cigarettes.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: He ain't really buying what you're selling. Whereas when you
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: go through the internet, and that's what we.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: Did, we were able to create this thing where we
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 4: got poppin' in all these other places first, and it
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 4: literally started from Russia and then came back to New Orleans.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: New Orleans was the last place.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: The advice was don't go local to international. Do the
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 5: internet and attack an international crowd first because your hometown...
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be the last place that fucks with you.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 5: And it's true because you sure don't fuck with us.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 5: It's true.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Deadass. But y'all, it's so interesting because there's a lot
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: of New Orleans in it.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of New Orleans in it.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 5: Dude, it shaped us. Me and him, bro, we worshipped
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 5: cash money. We loved hot boys. We wanted to be
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 5: Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne was a huge influence on both
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 5: of us. And I would argue that Master P is
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 5: a huge inspiration to me and him. how that motherfucker
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 5: started a label, had a rapping career, almost made it
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 5: to the NBA, was putting his son in Nickelodeon shows,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 5: he was making movies. This motherfucker's a renaissance man.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, he was one of the first kind of black,
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: he was kind of an early Tyler Perry to everybody,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: especially from this area.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 5: He's worth like 600 mil, bro. He was a huge
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 5: inspiration to us. Somebody that could just achieve all that.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 5: And especially from being from Calio Projects, you know? If
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 5: we're not from the Calio Projects, what's our excuse of
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 5: not making it?
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? This guy went from literally
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: rags to riches. Big inspiration on us.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: To us.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: A big reason. A big inspiration behind.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: Doing the label rather than just focusing solely on Suicide Boys.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. That was why we did G59.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: It was because of Cash Money No Limit.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: And then how do you get, like, is Cheddar on G59?
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay. Cheddar, Night Lavelle. Germ Shake.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: Germ Shake, Ramirez. Yeah.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: Okay. We have about five artists, six including ourselves. Yeah.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: And so a lot of those guys will tour with you.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: I know Cheddar toured the last tour that I saw
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: he was on.
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: 2021. Yeah. So. This year we're taking Shakewell.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: Shakewell. We try to switch it up. Every tour, you know.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 4: And also set those guys up. They do a great
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 4: job of setting those guys up on their own tour
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 4: so they get their own shine.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Cheddar just came out with an album.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What's it called? Sacrifice and sabotage. Yeah, man, he's great, bro.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: He's a good dude, bro. I love him, man. He
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: and I have become pretty close. Yeah, he's a good dude.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: He's a hard worker.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: He is. He got a big heart, bro.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 4: He's the only person besides me that I know that
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 4: works as much as I do, bro.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: He gets it in.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 5: We try to show the boys love, and we've taken
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 5: them on Gray Day and stuff, but with the other
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 5: artists on our label, we try to take them on tour,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: but also, like he said, set them up on their
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 5: own tours because it's important to Bro, anything in this
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 5: world that you get through hard work is going to
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 5: be yours to keep for a very long time. But
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 5: anything that was handed to you that you got very easily,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 5: it's not going to last very long. So it's important
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 5: that these guys grind. We're behind them. We support them
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 5: and push them to grind and make your own audience.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 5: You can borrow some of ours, but I don't want
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 5: that for you because it's not going to last long.
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 5: I want you guys to have your fans that you earned,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 5: and I want it to be as big as it
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 5: possibly can. And whatever we can do, To do that,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 5: we will. I don't think the shortcut of just giving
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 5: it to you is going to work.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 2: It's not going to work. Yeah, yeah. And a lot
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: of it's inspiration. No, it won't. That's a good point, too.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: And a lot of it is, even if you're just
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 1: other artists who are around each other, you inspire each other.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: You know? Yeah.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: Like, you're like, oh, I'm learning from this beat or
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: this thing. Or like, oh, this is cool. Or wow,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: look what he brought in.
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: And that's, you know.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: It's definitely like you guys' own. It's almost your own
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: galaxy or something. Your own solar system you all have
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: going on.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. It's interesting, man.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, what is gonna be different about the new music?
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: What do you feel like if you had to be
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: specific about it?
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 4: Bro, I think Scott agrees with me. But sometimes when
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 4: we make albums or projects and we don't really like... I.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: Don't know how to explain this.
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 5: There's been projects that we put out that we thought
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 5: were great and we wanted to do all these things
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 5: for it. And they were great projects and they did
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: their thing and they came and went. But there's been
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: a couple... where we didn't even think about it.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: And I don't know.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 4: I have this weird feeling that this album is going
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 4: to be huge.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 5: And I'm not just saying that to promote it or whatever.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 5: I'm not really one for self-promotion. But we both have
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 5: this weird feeling. It's like when we don't try is
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 5: what I'm trying to say.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 5: When we don't try, we make a fucking masterpiece. But
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 5: when we're trying too hard, we make some try-hard shit.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: That doesn't sound as good.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: Try-hard shit, that's such a good term, man.
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is good.
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: Because sometimes we'll work on a clip or something, and
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: it's like after we kicked it, you can just tell like, man, yes,
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: we just try to shine this to her, get it,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: you know, do something.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: And then we mess it up. Oh, I was just gonna,
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: you know, it gets like, we never wanted to be
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: in a box.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 4: We said that from the beginning, we wanted to be
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: able to make whatever we wanted to make at any time.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: But as you grow, as you grow a fan base
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: in this community, they get, they have expectations, you know?
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: Um, Luckily, I feel like a lot of them have
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 2: grown with us.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 4: There's still some of those out there that still, Suicide
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 4: Balls was better in 2015.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 2: You were better when you were on drugs, whatever. But
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 2: to his point, this is my favorite album. I feel
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: like I say that a.
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 4: Lot, but Kyle always says, he's like, dude, y'all just
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 4: get better and better and better. I don't understand it either.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 4: I'm 35 years old. I'm like, You know what I'm saying?
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 4: I should be retiring soon. But I do think one
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: thing that has helped, you know, Suicide Boy sometimes can
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 4: feel like.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: A job.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 4: Because there's deadlines. There's, like, we got to get it done.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 4: There's expectations. I think one thing that has helped, like,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: release the valve a little bit and, like, let some
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: of the pressure off, he's been doing Duck Boy.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 4: Which is like going back to his roots and doing
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 4: his band stuff and experimenting and being able to be free.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: And same with me. I've been able to experiment with
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: some sound solo-wise.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: And then when we do that, I feel like we
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: feel refreshed. We feel loose.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: And then when we come back to SB, you know
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying? You're actually excited.
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: The pressure. I don't know. I don't know how to
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: explain it.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Well, you still feel like an individual, I think, because
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: there's something that, I'm sure once you're in a group
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: that part of the individuality is there, but it's partnered
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: with something. So to be able to develop yourself more
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: and then bring it to anything is probably pretty cool.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: And to still remind yourself that you can develop as
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: an individual.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: I bet that's interesting. Is there collabs and stuff on this?
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: No. No. No, we never, we never really big on collabs.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: You guys don't do a lot of it.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: So is, yeah, I was just wondering, is it, is
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: it something you guys ever think about or do people
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: reach out about it?
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 5: We were supposed to do something with ski mask recently. Um,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 5: but the thing is, dude, if you don't catch us
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 5: when you catch us, you're going to be waiting another year.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: Right. Cause we move quick.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 5: And if, if you, if you pass it up and like, bro,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 5: we can't rewind and go back. We still, we have
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of shit on our own. on our own
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 5: plates that we have to get done.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: So. That is the hardest part about collabs. Kind of
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: like how it happens. Is like getting it back in time.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 4: Like getting it done. I think it's best whenever we,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: like whenever we do joint projects, like we did with Germ, Shakewell,
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: when we all get in a room together. and we're
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 4: able to just like pound it out for a week
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 4: or two. Yeah, we just lock ourselves in the room
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: for a week and knock it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: I love listening to Shakewell, dude. Shakewell's a very talented fucker.

  Speaker 5: there's like Within, I don't know, a couple hours, it's
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 5: a party all of a sudden.

  Speaker 2: And in LA, I think that just kind of happens.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: There's no plans.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 5: So we must have met 30 fucking people that night.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 5: I don't remember a single one of them until Shakewell
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 5: was one that was consistent, consistently hanging around Pouya and stuff.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 5: And then we were like, oh, you make music too?
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 5: And when people tell you that and you have a
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 5: little success with music, you don't really know where the
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 5: boundary is. Are they going to want me to listen
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 5: to it? Am I going to like it?
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: His shit was fire, and we kept our eye on
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: him for a long time.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: Did you guys ever tour in any of the same
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: circles as guys like Mac Miller, Lil Peep, those guys?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: That's so fucking weird that you bring that up. We
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: were just talking about this yesterday.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: We did a festival once in Sweden called Bravala back
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 5: in 2017, our first European run. And that festival's not
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 5: a festival anymore because too many dudes were groping chicks
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 5: like sexual assault style.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, watch it, dudes. Yeah, watch it, guys.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 5: We actually had to cut the show short a couple
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 5: times to tell them Back up, stop trying to grab titties, whatever. Anyway,
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 5: Mac Miller was at this festival, and that was the
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 5: first time we met him and kind of kicked it
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 5: with him a little bit. We also met Linkin Park
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 5: that day, too. Met Chester and Mike, and Chester committed
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 5: suicide a month after that.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 2: It was insane. Met Sway Lee, too. Sway's dope, huh? Yeah.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 2: He's a cool guy. He's a guy that- Bro, imagine Jimmy.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 4: Nobody fucks with us. And I'm walking, and I hear, hey, scram.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: And like that high-pitched voice, I turn around and Sway Lee.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 4: So I'm just, you know, in that moment.
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what the fuck is going on, dude? It's
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 2: pretty surreal.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: It was one of those moments meeting all them people
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 4: where I'm like, bro, what the fuck is going on?
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 2: Because we don't get the.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 5: Nod from a lot of industry artists or artists in
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 5: the industry, rather. So we're always curious. But some of you,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 5: you enjoy that probably, right? Like it's probably good you're
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 5: doing our own shit.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: I still work every day like I'm broke. Yeah. I'm
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: in the studio every day.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 4: I got this chip on my shoulder that I can't
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 4: get off.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: And that's part of it. What do you think that
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 2: has to do with sobriety?
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 4: A little bit? I think so.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: 100%.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 5: Because I got like that. Dude, I would wake up
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 5: at 1 p.m. on a Wednesday like it was nothing.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 5: I didn't give a shit.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: And now I can't sleep late.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 5: If I'm not cleaning the house or doing something productive,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 5: I feel like a fucking piece of shit.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 4: I think sobriety is a big good point.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I fell in love with my work.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't have a wife or nothing yet
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: or anything, but I think my first love is my work.
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: It's like, and I remember back to relationships I was in,
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: I would get home with my girl. We'd have gone
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: and done something. And then next thing I know, I
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: always remember I'm on my computer.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: I'm doing something. Yeah.
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: And she's like waiting to watch a show together, watch
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: a movie or make some popcorn. And then after a
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: while she's gone.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I've been in a relationship now almost four years. Uh,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: and it's, To your point, she was like, she respects it.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 4: She knows how I am. She knows how I work.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 4: She respects it.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: I can see how it would get frustrating from the
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: female point of view.
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 4: She was like, can you at least just start taking
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 4: the weekends off and hanging out with me?
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, you got a point. I
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: can do that.
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 5: Recently, I had to start cutting off work at 6 o'clock,
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: 7 o'clock for the West Coast. Because with this job,
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it, There's no hours. It's
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 5: not a nine to five. Things can pop up at
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 5: 1 a.m. Things could pop up any day of the
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 5: week and you don't know when or where it's coming from.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 5: So I kind of for myself had to set something
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 5: up to where it's like after six, it can wait
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 5: till the fucking morning.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Unless it's an emergency. Yeah. But I had to
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: put that limit on myself. Like, yeah.
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: You don't realize.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You kind of just start to think, oh, I
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: just have to work, but it's not really true. It's
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: your own choice.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: Then you wonder why am I going fucking crazy? Oh,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 5: because I have too much shit on my plate. I'm
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: trying to do too many things at once. And again,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 5: I would attribute that to sobriety.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: But all you guys' stuff is very hands-on. It's like
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 1: even all your merch, the way it looks, it's like, yeah,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: it all like, just like the fonts, it's all very
• 1:30:34

  Speaker 2: Big mediums. That's what he said? Yeah.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: We tried to help him, bro, but he wasn't willing

  Speaker 2: I would just work at my dad's restaurant. Oh, Snowball Stand, bro.

  Speaker 1: You said Russia was one of the places that- One
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: of the first.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 2: That was one of the first places we ever went.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, bro. From fucking Laplace to Russia, bro?
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much.

  Speaker 4: We like- brought my dad with us because... He was
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: our DJ.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: He was our DJ, bro.
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 5: Not only that, but we didn't want to go to
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 5: Russia dolo because we were worried about customs and we
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: really had no experience traveling.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: If y'all saw Russia immediately, I would put y'all, dude.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: Two of y'all make one Britney grind.
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 4: It was sketch, bro. I remember two things.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 5: One, my dad ended up being the DJ and it
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 5: was funny because we had Scott's MacBook.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: Didn't we do this all for like a thousand bucks, too?
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: The Russian shit? It was cheap.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: I think it was like something like that, two grand maybe.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: How'd you even find out they were your fans? Somebody
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 4: hit us up asking if we... He emailed us.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 5: He was a promoter in Russia asking if we wanted
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 5: to come over there and play a few shows because
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: we had a fan base out there.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: And we said, yeah, sure.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: And back then, the experience was cool enough. We didn't
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 5: care about the money. That was just a bonus. So
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 5: we went to Russia, did Minsk, Belarus... uh, St. Petersburg
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 5: and Moscow.
• 1:37:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:37:04

• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: fucking shows ever.

  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: And my dad's on the MacBook and we taught him like,
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 5: this means press the space bar to stop the song.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 5: If we do this, that means slowly turn it down.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: It's funny. He's sitting there with his glasses like, And
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: he was so nervous, dude.

  Speaker 2: just so close, but there's so many.
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 4: I won't say where, but we're on the panhandle and Yeah,

  Speaker 1: Florida to realize what a great spot Destin was, too.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: Some brave people. I don't even know who it was.

  Speaker 4: You like the flavor? They're hit and miss, bro. They're

  Speaker 1: if they're getting them, if they're remaking them bitches.
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 2: In the back. I don't know if you'll.

  Speaker 1: where did you guys go watch some type of music? Like,
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 1: was there someplace, a venue that you guys went to
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: when you were young? What was your first show you
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 1: went to? You did that way more than I did.
• 1:46:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, the first show I ever went to was
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 1: when I was nine. My parents bought me NSYNC tickets.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: That was the first. It was, like, when I was
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: a kid.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 2: Damn, you've changed. I've changed.
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 4: As far as, like.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 2: My first one was Britney Spears.
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Look at that. I think she's a
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: Louisiana local. Yeah, I know.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say 100%, y'all changed. My parents thought they
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 4: snapped by getting me tickets to Britney. Me and my
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 4: dad went, it was weird. You and senior went to
• 1:47:08
  Speaker 4: Britney Spears?
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, brother.
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 5: If you knew his dad, you'd be like, what the fuck?
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 2: I was like eight years old.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 4: They thought they snapped.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 2: You probably hated every second of that. Yeah, they thought
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 2: they snapped. And they did snap. They did.
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 5: I did go to shows when I was a teenager,
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 5: being in bands and stuff. I lived in Fat City.
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 5: So they had Cypress Hall right down the street from
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 5: the police station on Hesmer. And they had the Lions home.
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 5: They used to do shows at by the Burger King
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 5: on Division and Metairie.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 4: They had a few.
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 5: New Orleans was good with the all-ages stuff. They had
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 5: places for teenagers to go. Me and my friends' bands
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 5: would put on shows and play. And 100 kids would
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 5: show up just to have something to do. And then
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 5: they started, after Katrina, a lot of those places closed down.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 5: And then it became mostly bars and House of Blues.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 5: But there was a lot of, I was very involved
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 5: in the music scene when I was younger down here.
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: The hot boy, yeah, when the hot boys were running around,
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 1: there was so much going on, bro. New Orleans has
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: always been a fun place, too.
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was more on the North Shore
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: around that time. That's when me and you didn't really speak. Yeah.
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 5: It was during all the high school. I mean, he
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 5: and I, we didn't hate each other or anything. We

  Speaker 5: were just growing up separately at that point.

• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: such a place of inspiration for people. you know, even
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: just talking with you guys today to see you create
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: your own world, you know, and that it doesn't have
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: to be something that mainstream accepts or even sometimes even sees,
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: whether they do see it or not, you know, but
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: they don't claim to. It's the same thing with podcasts
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: and kind of like, they rarely ever reference podcasts. It's like,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: but that's because they're not involved in it. It's not
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 1: their shit and that's okay. But you guys just have
• 1:53:38
  Speaker 1: such a loyal fan base. What are your fans like,
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: do you think, man? Because That's one of the things
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 1: that's so intriguing about you guys to me is y'all's
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: fans are, it's just different, man.
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 4: We've actually, we've developed relationships with some of our biggest
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 4: ones and actually brought them in the fold to like
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 4: help us out with certain stuff. I mean, dude, when
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 4: they tell you, when they're like, dude, you saved my life.
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 2: You did this, you did that. I mean. It's hard
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 2: to hear. A hundred percent. It's hard to process.
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't my intention. But at the same time,
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 4: and this might be more on like a spiritual recovery tip,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 4: ever since getting sober, I feel like I have this
• 1:54:24
  Speaker 4: responsibility to let these people know that have seen us
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 4: at our worst, know that, because I never thought there
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 4: was a way out.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 2: I really didn't.
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 4: I was like, I'm fucked, this is it. This is
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 4: just what it is. But to let them know that
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 4: there is a way out. Yeah, there's hope. Don't ever
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 4: give up. If me and him can do it, bro,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 4: we can get drugs delivered on speed dial in the mailbox, bro.
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 4: If me and him can do it, there's hope for
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 4: them too. And we used to, when we could, after
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 4: every show, we would take time out and meet with
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 4: all the fans afterwards.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: We never liked charging them.
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 4: For meet and greets and stuff like that like oh
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 4: someone got more money than this person so they get
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 4: to meet us i know we didn't really like that
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 4: but now unfortunately it's it's it's gotten too.
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 1: Big to where we we can't do that sometimes it's
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: true the venues won't let you stay those are things
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: that happen we try to meet in the lobby yeah shows.
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 5: And not only how do you look at it we've
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 5: been doing this for a long time and when we're
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 5: on tour bro it's not like it's it's work dude
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 5: it's hard it's it's you got to be on point
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 5: every night, you know, any little thing you can do.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 5: If you smoke a blunt afterwards, it could fuck up
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 5: your throat. Like there's a lot of stuff that you
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 5: got to keep in mind. And sometimes dude, you know,
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 5: not every show is good and not every day on
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 5: tour is fun. There's times where like we might be
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 5: going through it and we have to take some time
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 5: for ourselves and sorry. Like, I know it sucks that
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 5: we can't meet you this particular night, but you know,
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 5: I need to like kind of decompress a little bit.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 2: So yeah.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: You got to make sure the show is good for
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: the next night. I mean, that's the most important thing.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 2: It's true. Touring is hard.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 4: It's hectic.
• 1:56:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. And, yeah, people don't realize you want to
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: be as good as you can be for the show
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: you just did, you know.
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 2: But, no, we love and care about them.
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: And even if some of them are still using you,
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: there's no.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 4: No, but not at all.
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 2: Because you know why? We get it. Right. I get it, bro. Like,
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 2: I get it, dog.
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people can party and they can
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: do it. I tell them that.
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 4: Whenever I talk to everybody at the end of the night,
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's important to say that.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? If none of this applies
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 2: to you, keep doing what you're doing. Fuck, if you
• 1:56:37

• 1:56:48
  Speaker 4: That speech that started at the end, real quick, that
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 4: started for me. We just got back to doing shows.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 4: We were at Lollapalooza right after COVID. I was feeling
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 4: self-pity and feeling bad for myself and all this.
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 2: So I was.
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 4: Given this sappy, like, poor pity me at the end
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 4: of the show that we did at Lollapalooza, but it
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 4: just somehow it turned into something else. Personal speech. Yeah,
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 4: into what it is.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, dude, one of the guys that works for us,
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 5: he like helps us run our social media accounts and
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 5: he works with us on tour doing merch. You know,
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 5: we met this kid as a fan. That's our boy Six.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 5: We met him as a fan because he created the
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 5: at G59 Records Twitter. And this was so early that
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 5: Scott and I hadn't even gotten around to making our
• 1:57:37
  Speaker 5: own fucking Twitter yet.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 2: We had fans.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 5: We had like a few thousand fans, whatever. But he
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 5: was super in tuned with underground music and he knew
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 5: about us and loved us. And we messaged him being like, yo,
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 5: can we have that account?
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 5: You know, it's our name. He's like, yeah, I was
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 5: just making it so nobody else would.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 2: You can have it.
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 5: And we're like, okay, cool. And then a few months later,
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 5: we're actually going to do a little Texas tour doing Houston, Dallas,
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 5: a few shows.
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 2: And he's there?
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 5: And he's in Dallas. And he was like, we're like, dude,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 5: come meet up with us, whatever. And he also could
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 5: get us drugs, get us some Percocets, some Xanax, some weed, whatever.
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 5: And we met him, and we realized we liked this kid.
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 5: And we're like, you know what? You took the initiative,
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 5: that's yours. And that's how he became the guy who
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 5: runs our social media, is through that. And that was
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 5: back in 2014, 2015. And to answer your question, that
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 5: was a fan who is now part of our team.
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 2: I lived with him for two years. He's like a
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 2: family member. Oh, damn.
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: Well, that's how I met Nick, one of our early producers.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: He emailed and just said, hey, man, I like the
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 1: podcast and and I think I can help. You know,
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: that's how there's this kid named Aiden. He showed up
• 1:58:39
  Speaker 1: at a show in Buffalo.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: And shook my hand in the parking lot.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:58:44
  Speaker 1: And he's like, hey, I can be your photographer tonight.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, photographer.
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: Come on in, bro. So fast forward, the show starts.
• 1:58:53
  Speaker 1: I'm out there an hour later. I see this dude
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: just walking up by the side of the stage, bro,
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: with his cell phone.
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 2: What the fuck, dude?
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 1: So the whole time, bro, he got fucking just, he's
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: like laying on his back and shit on the floor.
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 2: Just unbelievable, dude. I respect the initiative. Oh, he finessed
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 2: me so much, man.
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: But fast forward two years later, he's at the show
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: with his family. He's got cameras now and he's a
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: real photographer.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 2: No shit.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 1: And so it's just like. Hey, at least he was
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: fucking grinding with what he had. A hundred percent, Brian.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 1: He just kind of caught you at the right time.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: I was walking in, coming up the little tour bus
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: and it was just like, you know. hey, what's up, man?
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: I can be your photographer. And you kind of respect,
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: you know, sometimes things got to catch you in the
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: right moment. But yeah, somebody that can see your Twitter
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: and see that you have a capability before you can
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: even see it sometimes.
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 2: It's crazy, man. The equipment doesn't give you drive or talent. Dude,
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 2: all of our videos were iPhone.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 4: Shot with an iPhone and I just edited it on
• 1:59:50
  Speaker 4: Final Cut. He was using GarageBand to make the beats,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 2: A free program that comes with Mac.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 5: I downloaded Photoshop. I illegally pirated Photoshop and cracked it.
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 5: And the only languages available for Photoshop were Spanish and Hebrew.
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 5: And I chose Spanish because I took Spanish in high school.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 5: So I learned Photoshop all in Spanish, just like figuring
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 5: it the fuck out. So I didn't shell out all
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 5: this money. I learned it myself because if you have
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 5: the drive, you have the talent, the equipment does not matter.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 4: We got gold and platinum records that were done on
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 4: that free platform that comes when you buy a Mac.
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 4: That's the whole reason I bought it was because it
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 4: was free.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 5: Two of our biggest songs are royalty-free samples. Anybody has
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 5: access to it.
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It really is, man.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: It's inspiring, dude. I feel so lucky to have gotten
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: to do this today, man.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 2: Same, dude.
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 4: I'm glad that we met. I remember when you showed
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 4: up at the 12-step meeting. Oh, yeah, it was cool, man.
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 4: And when you showed up, I know how that is.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 4: You're stoked. I didn't want to go up to you,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying? Because I know what it's
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 4: like to be in a meeting and it's kind of sacred.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 2: I saw him.
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, this guy's not doing well. We lucky
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: to have this.
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 4: So I, we didn't talk that night. And then when
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 4: I left, I sent them a message on Instagram.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 2: And he called me. He's like, bro, you know, he's
• 2:01:16

• 2:01:18
  Speaker 2: too that he met you. Yeah. That's cool, man.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 2: I think I met Cheddar first. Did you?
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I did. I don't remember how, but, um,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 1: but he's just been such a great guy to get
• 2:01:29
  Speaker 1: to know, man. And yeah, dude, it's inspiring, man. I'm glad,
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: you know, you keep people alive. And I know you have,
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: you know, guys that you support in those rooms.
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 2: It ain't me, bro. I wish I could take the credit. Yeah.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we got a higher power that's trying to help. Yeah.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 2: That's helping us help ourselves. Yeah.
• 2:01:48
  Speaker 1: From flooring to ceiling, bro. From flooring to who knows
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: what heights, man. Thank you guys so much just for
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: the inspiration, man. I think to so many young artists
• 2:01:56
  Speaker 1: and people that if you're sitting somewhere thinking, can I
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 1: do this or How do I do this?
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, this, you know, it's unreal. Just do it.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 5: That's literally it. Just fucking do it. That's the advice
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 5: I always give is, you know, how did you, what
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 5: did you do to get here? Whatever persistence, consistency. fucking drive, dude,
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 5: and just taking that first step is the biggest step.
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 2: Because you know what?
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 5: You may think you want to be a fucking rapper
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 5: or whatever, but you might actually go to do it
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 5: and realize, I don't want to do this.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 4: This sucks.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 2: And you're not going to know unless you take that
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 2: first step. Right.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: And then I'll lead you to the next thing.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 1: You might miss the next thing because you don't go
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: to the first thing.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 5: And it's all timing. It's all chess game. Just don't
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 5: overthink it. Just do the damn thing and everything will
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 5: start to fall in place at some point if it's
• 2:02:41
