Speaker 1: been out and about lately, Man and been rubbing shoulders
0:18
Speaker 1: with some people, keeping some spots. Possibly to get a
0:23
Speaker 1: little in studio show with the podcast. Man. I know
0:26
Speaker 1: that we already had talked about that with just letting
0:28
Speaker 1: the people know about to take this thing up a
0:31
Speaker 1: notch man events events on the way, you know what
0:34
Speaker 1: I mean. If you're in the central Florida area, shout
0:37
Speaker 1: out to Jojo Man. I was actually talking to him yesterday.
0:39
Speaker 1: They just had a successful event that just passed. I
0:42
Speaker 1: mean they have, they had a few. I mean, he
0:44
Speaker 1: just puts on events, that's his thing. But they've been
0:47
Speaker 1: on a nice little role. He was talking to me
0:49
Speaker 1: about a specific vibe kind of event that we've been
0:51
Speaker 1: talking about that me and Joe have been talking about.
0:54
Speaker 1: Me and Jojo have been talking about and it's definitely
0:57
Speaker 1: that time to put it all together. Like I said,
0:59
Speaker 1: if you're in that sense Florida area, or if you
1:01
Speaker 1: want to take the trip, once we start doing these
1:03
Speaker 1: little things, definitely tap in. We're gonna let y'all know
1:07
Speaker 1: as soon as we have any details.
1:10
Speaker 3: But when everybody come out, man, no for real, Like,
1:13
Speaker 3: because we do have people who engage with us, who
1:16
Speaker 3: do enjoy the conversations we have, that's a great time
1:20
Speaker 3: to come out and have the conversations where us see
1:22
Speaker 3: it in person, uh, you know, meet meet, How we
1:27
Speaker 3: interact with each other live, it's a whole different vibe
1:30
Speaker 3: than just watching us on you know, Instagram, TikTok clips.
1:33
Speaker 2: So it's a good thing to be participating facts.
1:36
Speaker 1: And I feel like we're at this point now too
1:39
Speaker 1: where I'm seeing consistent commenters andkers on socials that we
1:45
Speaker 1: don't know, you know what I'm saying. I don't know
1:47
Speaker 1: if they're local or what. But it'd be definitely dope
1:50
Speaker 1: to connect with people that are that we already know
1:54
Speaker 1: that listen to the podcast, or just the fans of
1:56
Speaker 1: what we're doing and trust in the vision of what
1:58
Speaker 1: we're doing. But definitely is something that we're going to
2:02
Speaker 1: bring to the table a lot of dope things on
2:04
Speaker 1: the way. Feel like the road is clear to finally
2:09
Speaker 1: get some stuff going, especially with how we're seeing that
2:12
Speaker 1: it's working, you know what I mean.
2:14
Speaker 3: So That's one thing I wanted to touch on because
2:17
Speaker 3: you know, I see a lot of comments about you know,
2:20
Speaker 3: too many people have podcasts. Not everybody needs a mic,
2:23
Speaker 3: and it's like, we're not here to be popular. We
2:27
Speaker 3: appreciate the engagement, but we're here our real conversations. We're
2:30
Speaker 3: not here to do the neat stuff to get into
2:34
Speaker 3: algorithms and like be part of like do stuff that's
2:38
Speaker 3: out of our element just to be popular and get engagement.
2:41
Speaker 3: Like we're just us and we're getting that engagement off
2:44
Speaker 3: of just being us and what we do. It's like,
2:47
Speaker 3: I don't we don't need to be super funny and talk,
2:50
Speaker 3: you know, touch on pop culture all the time. We
2:52
Speaker 3: just need to talk and people like enjoy our conversations.
2:55
Speaker 3: Those are the people we're trying to engage with.
2:56
Speaker 1: And that's the facts. And even that conversation right now
3:00
Speaker 1: is like, bro're we're two years plus in one hundred
3:03
Speaker 1: plus episodes, and we've been building momentum since we started,
3:07
Speaker 1: and it's been growing. It hasn't been going backwards. Like
3:10
Speaker 1: I said, we're getting to the point we have like
3:13
Speaker 1: consistent people that are tapped in you know, comments and
3:16
Speaker 1: on what we're posting, you know, on the topics that
3:18
Speaker 1: we're talking about. I definitely one thing that I would
3:21
Speaker 1: like is more interaction from the point of view of
3:23
Speaker 1: people telling us stuff to talk about, you know what
3:25
Speaker 1: I mean. Usually when I see people in person, they
3:27
Speaker 1: do be mentioning like little things here and there, but
3:29
Speaker 1: it'd be better if like they emailed it to our
3:31
Speaker 1: email Everything Grounded at gmail dot com. Man, if you're
3:35
Speaker 1: listening to this Everything Grounded at gmail dot com, if
3:39
Speaker 1: you got an idea topic, just something that we should
3:41
Speaker 1: talk about, definitely throw it to us. I want to
3:44
Speaker 1: engage in like the topics that people want to talk about,
3:47
Speaker 1: because that's always interesting to me. And another thing, every
3:53
Speaker 1: time I'm mound about bro, people are talking to me
3:56
Speaker 1: about the podcast, like specific segments that we've done, you know,
3:59
Speaker 1: episode that we've talked about. So it's like, I know,
4:02
Speaker 1: at this point we're years in the way people mentioned
4:05
Speaker 1: to me the podcast. Sometimes it's the first thing that
4:07
Speaker 1: mentioned to me, not even the music, you know what
4:09
Speaker 1: I mean. Like, so it's definitely something that's working. And
4:13
Speaker 1: I've seen them posts to like you said, you know people,
4:16
Speaker 1: it's like starting a podcast now is like the new
4:19
Speaker 1: joke like being a rapper used to be, you know
4:21
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, oh, if you're a podcast or
4:23
Speaker 1: like you're that, you're that like guy that was trying
4:26
Speaker 1: to be a rapper too, you know what I mean.
4:28
Speaker 3: And that's what I like that point you made, because
4:33
Speaker 3: it's not it's not always the people who engage with
4:35
Speaker 3: us regularly, but someone will ask me a question and
4:39
Speaker 3: they'll answer them like, yeah, I talked about it, Like
4:41
Speaker 3: I know we heard you talking about on the podcast.
4:43
Speaker 3: I just wanted to hear you say it in person.
4:45
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, so you did hear us talk
4:47
Speaker 3: about it on the podcast.
4:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, facts, And like I said, man, the way that
4:53
Speaker 1: we're doing it and the way that we've been on
4:55
Speaker 1: it is something that I feel like has been resonating
4:59
Speaker 1: with people. But like this testament of how everybody's talking
5:03
Speaker 1: to us, like we just said, man, like just to
5:05
Speaker 1: wrap it up, it's working. And for the people out
5:10
Speaker 1: there that are thinking about doing something like a podcast
5:13
Speaker 1: or doing something artistic whatever. Dog at the end of
5:15
Speaker 1: the day, man, if it's adding to your life and
5:20
Speaker 1: you're you're happy with the progress of it, you're you're
5:23
Speaker 1: seeing or progressing the direction that you wanted to progress in.
5:27
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, that's all you got
5:29
Speaker 1: to worry about. Man, Well, somebody else thinks about you
5:31
Speaker 1: starting a podcast or you're doing X, Y or Z
5:34
Speaker 1: like bro, that should be the last thing on anybody's mind, dog,
5:38
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to people. Man, Like, people just
5:41
Speaker 1: be saying anything, the same way we be on here
5:43
Speaker 1: just saying anything.
5:44
Speaker 2: Dog.
5:44
Speaker 1: People just be saying anything every day in real life worse.
5:47
Speaker 1: So yeah, speaking of saying anything, Dog, I don't even
5:51
Speaker 1: want to get too deep into this because it's just
5:55
Speaker 1: funny to me because at this point he's kind of
5:57
Speaker 1: just created the buzz himself and just talk to himself
6:02
Speaker 1: about this, Like I feel like he just used it
6:03
Speaker 1: to go on a press run. Really, But I saw
6:06
Speaker 1: a headline that was funny to me, Man. It said
6:08
Speaker 1: Jim Jones hits back at na's backlash. So when you
6:13
Speaker 1: read that, when you read that headline, you would assume
6:16
Speaker 1: like maybe NAS responding to him. And now Jim Jones
6:19
Speaker 1: is responding to the NAS response, but he's not in
6:23
Speaker 1: set of word Brow.
6:25
Speaker 2: Does have one post, though, he had one post.
6:28
Speaker 1: Like you know what, I'm like, he hasn't directly like
6:31
Speaker 1: am out with a statement.
6:32
Speaker 2: Or like indirectly responding to exactly.
6:36
Speaker 1: So it's like for Jim Jones to just respond to
6:40
Speaker 1: people responding to the NAS thing is like, bro, you're
6:44
Speaker 1: literally just talking into that, into the atmosphere, like to yourself,
6:48
Speaker 1: dog like it might have worked for what he's trying
6:51
Speaker 1: to do. And it's funny, man, because I always think
6:55
Speaker 1: about this when we talk about going viral and stuff
6:57
Speaker 1: like that. I'll be seeing these posts of people that
7:00
Speaker 1: it'll be like a selfie video of them, right, and
7:03
Speaker 1: it'll be some writing on it and like a trending sound,
7:06
Speaker 1: and they'd be like the video be them saying somebody
7:09
Speaker 1: told me if I use this trending sound, I'll get
7:11
Speaker 1: a million plays. And you look, and they got a
7:14
Speaker 1: million plays on the post. You know what I mean. Yeah,
7:17
Speaker 1: but okay, but listen, let me let me finish the Yeah.
7:22
Speaker 1: So you go and you get a million plays on
7:25
Speaker 1: your posts? Right, what is that gonna do for you?
7:28
Speaker 1: What is it gonna lead to?
7:29
Speaker 2: Like?
7:30
Speaker 1: What does go on viral for viral's sake do for people?
7:34
Speaker 1: Because if you can't capitalize or really point them anywhere.
7:36
Speaker 1: Like for Jim Jones, I understand because he's probably thinking
7:40
Speaker 1: if my name is in the news, my streams are
7:42
Speaker 1: gonna go up for that time that my name is
7:44
Speaker 1: in the news, because people just gonna think, oh, Jim Jones,
7:47
Speaker 1: I haven't heard his stuff in a while, or they're
7:49
Speaker 1: even just gonna go through his catalog to try to
7:51
Speaker 1: compare him to the Knaves, you know what I mean,
7:53
Speaker 1: not knowing they're adding to his paycheck just by playing
7:56
Speaker 1: them songs, just by googling them, just by all, you know,
8:00
Speaker 1: going on YouTube and pulling up the song like oh
8:02
Speaker 1: this is whack. Even you pulling it up to say
8:04
Speaker 1: this is whack. He's still making money. So I understand
8:06
Speaker 1: it from that point of view. But it's like people
8:09
Speaker 1: that are just trying to like do anything just to
8:12
Speaker 1: get that million view video. It's like, bro, you got
8:16
Speaker 1: to have a plan with this, yeah, and that's.
8:19
Speaker 3: Our same thing to just tag onto that. It's straight
8:23
Speaker 3: up like everybody's cloud chasing right one. We talked about
8:29
Speaker 3: Jim Jones about his age now and like you're still
8:31
Speaker 3: cloud chasing.
8:32
Speaker 2: But what is that going to gain you?
8:34
Speaker 3: Like a million people have a million videos who go
8:38
Speaker 3: who get a million views?
8:39
Speaker 2: But what does that gain you?
8:41
Speaker 3: Once you get that if you're not picking up on
8:43
Speaker 3: that traction, what are you going to get after that?
8:45
Speaker 3: You have to have a strategy. It's like, Okay, I
8:48
Speaker 3: got this approach, I got the traction. Now what am
8:50
Speaker 3: I gonna do with it? And I feel like his
8:52
Speaker 3: whole shit, Like nobody cares about what his rollout is.
8:56
Speaker 3: Everybody's just talking about how he was talking about Nas
8:58
Speaker 3: and how Nas responding He's fun and that's the main
9:01
Speaker 3: subject of his cloud.
9:03
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's funny because kind of going off that
9:07
Speaker 1: people are kind of like comparing the jack Boys two
9:11
Speaker 1: project by Travis Scott and his artists and the Clips
9:15
Speaker 1: project just because you know, Push the Tea came out
9:19
Speaker 1: right away when they started their roleout and mentioned Travis
9:22
Speaker 1: Scott and why he's got to be for him right now.
9:25
Speaker 1: You know, he feels like Travis Scott pulled up to
9:27
Speaker 1: him and Pharrell and Malice played some music from his
9:31
Speaker 1: album then when he left and he dropped the music.
9:35
Speaker 1: One of the songs was Meltdown, which is a song
9:38
Speaker 1: with Drake where Drake is taking shots at Pharrell, but
9:41
Speaker 1: Push Your Tea saying that when he brought it to them,
9:43
Speaker 1: he a Drake verse on it. And then it's for
9:46
Speaker 1: you to even come here and play that song and
9:49
Speaker 1: then turn around and get somebody on it that's this
9:51
Speaker 1: and the guy that you wanted to show the song to.
9:54
Speaker 1: It's weird, you know what I'm saying. And I definitely
9:56
Speaker 1: agree with Push your Tea on that. And the funny
9:59
Speaker 1: thing about the whole situation is a lot of people
10:03
Speaker 1: saying that pusha T's just using Travis Scott or whoever's
10:06
Speaker 1: name to try to like boost their sales or whatever,
10:09
Speaker 1: and they're predicting that Travis Scott's project is gonna do
10:14
Speaker 1: better first week sales than the Clips album, which is
10:18
Speaker 1: not even a Travis Scott project. It's like a compilation
10:20
Speaker 1: of his label. His artist is the jack Boys two project.
10:24
Speaker 1: So Travis Scott is definitely gonna feel like he can
10:26
Speaker 1: puff his chest out, like, oh, these dudes was talking
10:28
Speaker 1: crazy about me, and look, my Crew album did better
10:31
Speaker 1: than their album, you know what I'm saying. But at
10:34
Speaker 1: the same time, it's like the thing that we always
10:37
Speaker 1: talk about on this pole too, is like how many
10:40
Speaker 1: people got their hands in that basket and got something
10:42
Speaker 1: to like with Travis Scott, you got an artist that
10:46
Speaker 1: Matt people got money behind him. He got mad endorsements,
10:49
Speaker 1: so when he dropped something, that's gonna be everybody's face,
10:54
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And then kind of like
10:56
Speaker 1: to lead to what you wanted to talk about with
10:58
Speaker 1: the clips. They're an older rap group, so how are
11:04
Speaker 1: people going to care about what they're doing? What they've
11:06
Speaker 1: been doing is just kind of been going on that
11:08
Speaker 1: tour in a podcast, doing interviews and stuff like that
11:12
Speaker 1: to just remind people who they are and where they've
11:15
Speaker 1: been basically, you know what I mean, and then just
11:17
Speaker 1: kind of like leading into that.
11:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think, like I said, everybody says podcasts.
11:24
Speaker 3: Everybody has a podcast, but now artists are doing and
11:28
Speaker 3: not just artists, you have actors, you have different kind
11:32
Speaker 3: of celebrities and entertainers and different industries doing podcasts rollouts.
11:36
Speaker 3: They're going on every popular podcast essentially having the same conversations.
11:42
Speaker 3: Like I saw clips on Joe and Jada. I saw
11:44
Speaker 3: clips on Joe Budden, same conversations, but they have different
11:49
Speaker 3: relationships but also different relationships with the hosts. So clips
11:54
Speaker 3: and butting go way back, so they could talk about
11:56
Speaker 3: stories that Joe and Jada can't talk about with them
12:00
Speaker 3: and I think that gives back the difference. And also
12:03
Speaker 3: like Budding could get more personal with Malice than anybody
12:08
Speaker 3: else because he knows Malice from back in the day,
12:10
Speaker 3: and I think that allows the story to evolve, and
12:14
Speaker 3: I think that gives more of a background for the
12:16
Speaker 3: album to hit. But like you said, they're older rappers,
12:20
Speaker 3: they're from a different generation, but they're tapping into the
12:23
Speaker 3: new generation buzz to make sure the new generation taps
12:29
Speaker 3: in to the old generation music. Because they don't sound
12:32
Speaker 3: any different than they sounded from musical and that's what
12:34
Speaker 3: people like me appreciate. The clips are sounded like the
12:37
Speaker 3: clips when they drop, grinding when they drop, you know,
12:41
Speaker 3: the original tracks, original and it was for Real to
12:43
Speaker 3: produce it.
12:43
Speaker 2: It's no more Kanye producing it.
12:46
Speaker 3: Like I appreciate that it's taking me back and like
12:49
Speaker 3: I said, I don't want to, you know, get my
12:52
Speaker 3: age away, But I was tapping that grinder beating high
12:55
Speaker 3: school on the lunch table, you know what I'm saying.
12:56
Speaker 2: That's how far back it goes with me.
13:00
Speaker 1: Man, When you consider podcasts and then these long form interviews,
13:05
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where it's almost like the
13:07
Speaker 1: last way that people can really like I guess you
13:12
Speaker 1: could say keep it real because a podcast usually is
13:15
Speaker 1: like an hour long and they're just talking. Most podcasts
13:18
Speaker 1: are unedited as far as the conversation goes, so you're
13:21
Speaker 1: really just hearing somebody talk. And you know, no matter
13:25
Speaker 1: how media trained or how like much you try to
13:28
Speaker 1: put up a front to a certain point, you just talking,
13:30
Speaker 1: so you're just going to fall into you just talking
13:33
Speaker 1: and it's just you, you know what I mean. And
13:36
Speaker 1: I think that's something that people are seeing with the
13:38
Speaker 1: clips when they're seeing them on this roll out, is
13:42
Speaker 1: they're just hearing them say some real stuff and they're
13:46
Speaker 1: like people are getting to understand why they left. They're
13:50
Speaker 1: understanding how long they've been gone, what has changed in
13:53
Speaker 1: that meantime. You know, they're kind of getting a backstory
13:57
Speaker 1: of why Push the Tea's been on, what he's been on,
14:00
Speaker 1: Males has been on, well he's been on, and how
14:01
Speaker 1: they kind of reconnected with it. And it's the kind
14:04
Speaker 1: of thing that even if you don't know about them,
14:07
Speaker 1: all you need to know is those little story pieces,
14:10
Speaker 1: like they're the clips. They don't make music no more
14:13
Speaker 1: and now they came back. Why is it? And this
14:16
Speaker 1: podcasting and this just doing the press run like this
14:19
Speaker 1: lets everybody answer all those questions. If I would have
14:22
Speaker 1: just heard the clips dropping the album, but they're not
14:25
Speaker 1: going on this run, I'm not going to care as
14:28
Speaker 1: much as like, oh, like I'm understanding now why it's
14:31
Speaker 1: a big deal.
14:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, because you got fans of these podcasters who they're
14:36
Speaker 3: fans of, who they just are.
14:38
Speaker 2: And then they have these artists that maybe you haven't
14:40
Speaker 2: heard of, you.
14:40
Speaker 3: Heard the name, but you know anything about them, and
14:43
Speaker 3: you hear the story and like, Okay, I might go
14:45
Speaker 3: listen to this album tonight.
14:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
14:48
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing about podcasts and streaming and stuff
14:50
Speaker 1: like that is like they're really changing the game, and
14:54
Speaker 1: like in a weird way, like not saying it's bad,
14:57
Speaker 1: but for example, what we're talking about now with the
15:01
Speaker 1: Clips and Travis Scott, they can create their own narratives
15:06
Speaker 1: because they both have their own following. They both have
15:09
Speaker 1: their own crowd that follows them for them. So it's
15:12
Speaker 1: like you might hear it, let's say, on Complex or
15:17
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club or something like that, and those people
15:21
Speaker 1: and those platforms have their followers, but then the people
15:25
Speaker 1: they're talking about, those people have their own followers as well,
15:28
Speaker 1: and they have access to them with streaming, they have
15:31
Speaker 1: access to them with social media. And basically what I'm
15:34
Speaker 1: leading to is now you have situations where like that
15:39
Speaker 1: streamer dude Neon was on the Breakfast Club and he
15:43
Speaker 1: was streaming while he was on Breakfast Club. So like,
15:47
Speaker 1: if you were watching it from like the Breakfast Club cameras,
15:51
Speaker 1: it looks like they're frying him, you know what I'm saying.
15:54
Speaker 1: It looks like they're kind of grilling him for some
15:56
Speaker 1: comments he made in the past about Kai Sannat, comments
16:00
Speaker 1: he's made about black people, things that he said racially
16:04
Speaker 1: insensitive on his stream, and you see it from their side,
16:09
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, they're grilling him, and they're pretty
16:11
Speaker 1: much since since the Breakfast Club audience isn't really tapped
16:14
Speaker 1: in the Neon like that, they're introducing him, but they
16:17
Speaker 1: also have to bring you up to speed on everything.
16:19
Speaker 1: You know, if you're watching neons feed, it's like, oh, bro,
16:24
Speaker 1: these dudes are just ambushing him and they're like trying
16:27
Speaker 1: to like do this to him for cloud. Their whole
16:30
Speaker 1: chat was counting. Yeah, It's like obviously neon chatter is
16:34
Speaker 1: on his side, the breakfast club fans are on they side,
16:38
Speaker 1: you know, but just seeing it, it's like a crazy
16:41
Speaker 1: dynamic because like you can go do these press runs,
16:44
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, like everybody has
16:47
Speaker 1: direct access to the audience. So it's not like how
16:51
Speaker 1: it was back in the day where it's like, let's say,
16:53
Speaker 1: when you're talking about like jay Z and Niles. Back
16:55
Speaker 1: in the day, you were seeing them on Hot ninety seven,
16:59
Speaker 1: like and you wasn't even s you was hearing them
17:00
Speaker 1: because it was just radio, you know what I'm saying.
17:03
Speaker 1: You would hear them on Hot ninety seven, you would
17:05
Speaker 1: hear them on the Power of radio station, and the
17:08
Speaker 1: only time you really heard from them was like in
17:10
Speaker 1: those radio station interviews, and it was short. You couldn't
17:14
Speaker 1: really say everything because you're on the radio, you know
17:17
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, So like it was really just say,
17:21
Speaker 1: she say, And you're really relying on the personalities to
17:25
Speaker 1: kind of shape your opinion because you're not hearing directly
17:27
Speaker 1: from them. Nowadays, the jay Z and nos thing, they
17:31
Speaker 1: might just sit down for a podcast separately with two
17:34
Speaker 1: different people to go over why they beefing, to go
17:36
Speaker 1: over why they you know, whatever, the case is, it's
17:39
Speaker 1: a whole different thing, you know what I'm saying.
17:41
Speaker 3: And they're with hosts who they trust and they can
17:43
Speaker 3: tell them stories too, when back then they didn't know
17:47
Speaker 3: these hosts like that and they were uncomfortable talking about
17:49
Speaker 3: these stories in front of them.
17:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had to do these press runs, and whoever
17:53
Speaker 1: was at the station is whoever was there. You know,
17:56
Speaker 1: obviously you knew the main ones, but when you going
17:58
Speaker 1: to Alabama or something like that, you might not know
18:01
Speaker 1: who's the host on that station, and it's just somebody
18:03
Speaker 1: random and they're going to ask you the same questions,
18:06
Speaker 1: maybe even harder questions, and you just got to answer
18:09
Speaker 1: it because that's your only way of reaching that audience,
18:11
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's just like another
18:15
Speaker 1: crazy layer to like how the Internet changed the game
18:18
Speaker 1: with the album rollouts and everything. And just then you
18:22
Speaker 1: have the opposite side with Travis Scott where he just
18:24
Speaker 1: has a lot of money behind him, so his is
18:26
Speaker 1: just straight promo, you know what I'm saying, Like his ads,
18:30
Speaker 1: you know, getting the songs automatically in a commercial or
18:37
Speaker 1: automatically in a game or something. It's like he has
18:40
Speaker 1: those avenues for the people that don't go out those avenues.
18:43
Speaker 1: They thrive off of hitting people direct with the streamers,
18:46
Speaker 1: the podcasters all that, you know what I'm saying, Yeah,
18:49
Speaker 1: And like.
18:49
Speaker 3: That's what I realized about Travis Scott. He tapped in
18:52
Speaker 3: major to the college you know, demographic. With his college
19:00
Speaker 3: Traviscott collaborations with the colleges.
19:02
Speaker 2: He's dropped gear like for.
19:04
Speaker 3: Colleges, for I have a Travis Scott night shirt and
19:08
Speaker 3: a Travis Scott gator shirt, you know, and I know
19:10
Speaker 3: people even bought more. Like he's tapping into as certain
19:13
Speaker 3: demographic that's allowing him to just be him and.
19:16
Speaker 1: Not have to do Travis Scott is to a point
19:20
Speaker 1: where he already knows he's gonna do good numbers wise,
19:23
Speaker 1: because they're delivering his music to so many platforms that
19:27
Speaker 1: like you just get you, You're just gonna get those
19:30
Speaker 1: plays and streams off of like just getting it delivered there.
19:34
Speaker 3: They know he's going to get the hits, so they're
19:36
Speaker 3: putting them on it, like we know he's going to
19:38
Speaker 3: get the.
19:38
Speaker 1: Hits exactly exactly. So it's like to a certain point,
19:42
Speaker 1: he don't even got to worry about the rollout like
19:44
Speaker 1: that from the point of view, like you haven't even
19:46
Speaker 1: heard Travis Scott talk about that project. Like jack Boy
19:49
Speaker 1: was an Instagram post literally literally literally, and it's probably
19:54
Speaker 1: something that doesn't even get too many posts on his
19:56
Speaker 1: main page because the analytics tells you, nah, bro, talk
20:01
Speaker 1: about yourself. People don't care about that extra stuff. It's crazy, man,
20:05
Speaker 1: It's so many weird little dynamics, and then you're trying
20:08
Speaker 1: to like kind of weave your way through it, like
20:11
Speaker 1: with a podcast, with streaming whatever it is at the end.
20:14
Speaker 1: That's why at the end of the day, like we
20:15
Speaker 1: was talking about, the viral stuff, don't really do nothing
20:18
Speaker 1: if you're not really locking in and making something happen
20:21
Speaker 1: when you're connecting with people in a way where they
20:22
Speaker 1: care about what you're saying. Like the viral thing will
20:25
Speaker 1: get you that first look and they'll recognize you the
20:27
Speaker 1: next time. You might pop up on their feet, but
20:30
Speaker 1: it's not gonna put no money in your pocket.
20:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why, like some people think, oh, I'll
20:34
Speaker 3: just go viral off something that'll push It's like, nah,
20:36
Speaker 3: you can do it without going viral.
20:38
Speaker 2: You just have to have the right marketing strategy.
20:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, facts, man, it's been depressing on Sports Center and
20:44
Speaker 1: stuff lately. Dog the talk on there has been so whacked.
20:48
Speaker 1: This is like the worst low in the time of
20:51
Speaker 1: the year. Like no football, no basketball, It's just like
20:56
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, and that's pretty much soccer.
20:59
Speaker 3: A lot of soccer, which we which we know you
21:01
Speaker 3: don't bang with nobody like all year though.
21:06
Speaker 2: Oh, soccer is a year round every single year.
21:09
Speaker 3: There's always some kind of cup or some kind of
21:12
Speaker 3: competition going on. There's some there's always soccer year round
21:16
Speaker 3: all the time. That's why they get paid so much.
21:19
Speaker 3: You never stopped playing.
21:19
Speaker 1: There's like these little rumblings that there's going to be another.
21:22
Speaker 2: Wimbledon was fire, Wimbledon was big.
21:25
Speaker 1: They say that there's going to be another like basketball league,
21:28
Speaker 1: like a major basketball league from who. I forgot all
21:32
Speaker 1: the details, but I've been here and here and there
21:34
Speaker 1: little things, and supposedly like some NBA players are already
21:39
Speaker 1: kind of expressed some interest in possibly going over there.
21:43
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like a riad thing or what,
21:45
Speaker 1: but I know that there is there is some buzz
21:50
Speaker 1: out there about like an alternative basketball league season.
21:54
Speaker 2: Or leaving the NBA scene. I don't know, Man, the
22:00
Speaker 2: hefty for.
22:01
Speaker 1: That, and they're and they're also like kind of estimating
22:04
Speaker 1: that it might be more like European basketball style or
22:08
Speaker 1: based like honestly difference. Uh, European basketball is more akin
22:13
Speaker 1: to like what the nineties basketball was, like, you know
22:16
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's a little more the pacers. The
22:19
Speaker 1: pace is different in Europe. They're a lot more physical.
22:22
Speaker 2: Than the three pointers from the half court line.
22:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's not happening. I mean people shooting over there.
22:28
Speaker 1: But it's not like that over there. I mean, you
22:30
Speaker 1: watch the rules are vastly different in Europe, just as
22:34
Speaker 1: far as like how the flow of the game is,
22:37
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that's why that and that's what.
22:40
Speaker 1: That's something that a lot of players from other countries
22:43
Speaker 1: always mentioned too, like it's kind of like sour grapes.
22:48
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like the United States
22:51
Speaker 1: has to send their best players now, you know what
22:53
Speaker 1: I mean. The reason why they have to send their
22:55
Speaker 1: best players is because it's a very skillful game over there,
22:58
Speaker 1: and they're skillful players all around the world now because
23:01
Speaker 1: the NBA is global, dog Like back in the day,
23:03
Speaker 1: the NBA wasn't global, only only US in America is
23:05
Speaker 1: playing basketball on the weekends and stuff. Now they playing
23:08
Speaker 1: basketball all over the world, you know what I'm saying.
23:11
Speaker 1: So there's more talent around the world than the world
23:14
Speaker 1: is bigger than the United States. So you're gonna have
23:17
Speaker 1: really talented players that are not US based. And even
23:22
Speaker 1: a lot of the times the players that we have
23:24
Speaker 1: on the US team are not even US based players.
23:27
Speaker 1: They're just players that live in the US that play
23:30
Speaker 1: for the US. You know what I'm saying.
23:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, europeeing europeeing players are taking over. Like the All
23:37
Speaker 3: Stars in the in the NBA.
23:40
Speaker 1: That's I think they said, like the last nine m
23:42
Speaker 1: vps or something like that have been none of them
23:45
Speaker 1: have been American. He's a Canadian yep, yep. He kept
23:52
Speaker 1: the street going man, and a lot of people equated
23:54
Speaker 1: to the lifestyle over here.
23:56
Speaker 2: Bro.
23:56
Speaker 1: People don't got the same kind of work ethic over
23:58
Speaker 1: here that they do overseas. And it even even reflects
24:01
Speaker 1: in the NBA, you know what I'm saying, Like them
24:03
Speaker 1: players come from Europe, Africa, Asia, wherever they are, Australia
24:08
Speaker 1: wherever they're coming from, and they're working way harder than
24:11
Speaker 1: us because they're just more used to it, you know
24:13
Speaker 1: what I mean.
24:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, they come up in a different kind of farming
24:16
Speaker 3: system than the NBA.
24:18
Speaker 1: Yep, you really gotta you really gotta get it over there.
24:21
Speaker 1: It's the same thing in the UFC.
24:23
Speaker 2: Bro.
24:23
Speaker 1: A lot of these like these daggastan guys in the UFC.
24:27
Speaker 1: Smesh you brother, them boys just not playing around and
24:31
Speaker 1: they be out there in the freezing cold training all
24:34
Speaker 1: years from little kids.
24:36
Speaker 2: Does that come out in those fur hats?
24:38
Speaker 1: What's that thing? This dude? Uh? Normarga medal was No,
24:43
Speaker 1: it wasn't the Maga medal. I think it was the
24:45
Speaker 1: other dude, Kamza. He told u DC like you send
24:49
Speaker 1: your kid two three years Dakistan and forget forget for
24:56
Speaker 1: two years in for ghetto or you is sae boy.
24:58
Speaker 2: They running the UFC right now for sure.
25:01
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bro, it's like like these in there. Yeah, a
25:06
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of consonants right next to each other. Bro.
25:14
Speaker 1: This always reminds me like the fighting stuff. It always
25:16
Speaker 1: reminds me of like blood Sport and them old nineties
25:18
Speaker 1: movies and stuff like that. And it's really getting to that.
25:21
Speaker 1: I mean, it was like that before, but it's glaringly
25:24
Speaker 1: obvious now how much more pussy we are than the
25:27
Speaker 1: rest of the US. I mean the rest of the
25:29
Speaker 1: world though, because even in like the movies, the US
25:32
Speaker 1: guy was always the underdog because he was like always
25:35
Speaker 1: supposed to be the softest one.
25:36
Speaker 3: You know, game game has changed in I think every
25:41
Speaker 3: sport now. Man, it's just it's the US ain't matching
25:46
Speaker 3: up to the international players as much as they used
25:48
Speaker 3: to dominate.
25:51
Speaker 2: As a country. It's not like that. No more US
25:54
Speaker 2: is trying to keep up.
25:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like a lot of sports there's kind
25:59
Speaker 1: of like a growing effort to figure out why that's
26:03
Speaker 1: going on, to make the US players stack up to
26:06
Speaker 1: the international players.
26:08
Speaker 3: The NFL, we can see the NFL US stills run
26:11
Speaker 3: the NFL.
26:12
Speaker 1: I mean that's because for whatever reason, the NFL is
26:15
Speaker 1: so American, you know what I'm saying, It's American football.
26:18
Speaker 1: So yeah, there's not even a lot of like overseas
26:21
Speaker 1: players that come.
26:22
Speaker 2: Up, like they all have rugby shit.
26:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's some like CFL players here and there,
26:28
Speaker 1: but even those guys usually aren't even that good to
26:30
Speaker 1: play in the NFL. The NFL is that the NFL
26:33
Speaker 1: right now is like how the NBA was before, like
26:36
Speaker 1: nobody was playing Nobody is playing football in their countries
26:39
Speaker 1: right now, Like on the weekends. There's no little you know,
26:42
Speaker 1: there's no sixth grade football team you know in Africa,
26:46
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They they're not playing that
26:49
Speaker 1: sport like that right now. And honestly, it's kind of hard,
26:53
Speaker 1: like to create that infrastructure to play football because it's
26:57
Speaker 1: like so specific, you know what i mean, like having
26:59
Speaker 1: them make football fields and all these places, and it's
27:03
Speaker 1: just it doesn't sound like something that's easy to do.
27:06
Speaker 1: It's like it's like how they talk about with baseball,
27:09
Speaker 1: Like that's why, like, bro, kids usually don't play baseball
27:13
Speaker 1: because it's like baseball is expensive. Bro, It's a lot
27:16
Speaker 1: of equipment, it's a lot of traveling. Your parents got
27:19
Speaker 1: to have free time and money for you to play
27:21
Speaker 1: competitive baseball.
27:22
Speaker 2: Dog.
27:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of people don't got that basketball.
27:25
Speaker 1: It's like you put them on the heights, you know,
27:27
Speaker 1: the basketball team at the school, and it'll all kind
27:29
Speaker 1: of sort itself out, you know what i mean. Like
27:31
Speaker 1: with the same thing with soccer, Like soccer is just
27:34
Speaker 1: a ball in a field, you know what I'm saying,
27:35
Speaker 1: Like you can play soccer on the weekends, real easy.
27:39
Speaker 3: You know what, They're adding flag football to the twenty
27:43
Speaker 3: twenty eight Summer Olympics and that's country versus country flag football.
27:49
Speaker 3: And I got a Homi shout out to my homie Mr.
27:52
Speaker 3: He plays for the Brazilian national flag football team, so
27:55
Speaker 3: he's been doing that for a while now, and I'm
27:59
Speaker 3: gonna put some ex He played in Hernandez Stunt Double
28:03
Speaker 3: in the Air Hernandez Special on Netflix too, so he's
28:06
Speaker 3: been in football major.
28:07
Speaker 2: He's Brazilian, pure Brazilian.
28:10
Speaker 3: And now he's gonna compete against like Tyreek Hill and
28:14
Speaker 3: all because there's a bunch of NFL players playing on
28:17
Speaker 3: the flag football team in those Olympics, and it's like,
28:19
Speaker 3: I think that is going to open up football internationally.
28:23
Speaker 2: And then that's the reason they're doing it.
28:24
Speaker 1: The professional flag football players are mad because they're not
28:27
Speaker 1: getting those spots.
28:28
Speaker 2: Yeah they're not.
28:29
Speaker 1: It's like, man, I feel them, But bro, nah, Dog,
28:35
Speaker 1: you're only a professional flag football player play in the NFL.
28:39
Speaker 1: Let's just keep it real.
28:40
Speaker 2: Bro, I'm a professional when I played flag football.
28:44
Speaker 1: I'm compailed hooper dog, So like I could say this
28:49
Speaker 1: without bias, Dog, I know. I know that if there
28:52
Speaker 1: was like a like a flag football type thing for
28:55
Speaker 1: basketball that I could play, I would be I would
28:57
Speaker 1: have been trying to do that because I couldn't make
28:59
Speaker 1: the NBA dog like professional flag football, as dope as
29:02
Speaker 1: it may be. Dog, you are not Tyreek Hill. You
29:06
Speaker 1: are not Patrick Mahomes. You can't compete at that level.
29:10
Speaker 1: And then they I heard like one of like the
29:12
Speaker 1: quarterbacks from them that are like supposed to be really good.
29:15
Speaker 1: He's like, it's a completely different skill. It's a different
29:18
Speaker 1: game this is and that I get it, Bro, But
29:21
Speaker 1: these people are going to figure it out way faster
29:24
Speaker 1: than you and are going to be better than you
29:26
Speaker 1: in a record amount of time. Like you're going to
29:28
Speaker 1: explain the flag football mechanics to them one time and
29:31
Speaker 1: they're going to be better than you at it. So
29:33
Speaker 1: it's like, Dog, you just got to accept that Tyreek
29:36
Speaker 1: Hill is going to be the receiver.
29:38
Speaker 2: Now, imagine lighting up on the line against Tyreek Hill.
29:41
Speaker 2: You got to be ready for that.
29:42
Speaker 3: You can't be no playing the park on Thanksgiving flag football.
29:46
Speaker 1: You losing that match up at the line, Bro, You
29:48
Speaker 1: losing that at the line. As soon as y'all line up,

Speaker 1: of things, and he stayed at Joe's crib. So I'm
31:38
Speaker 1: talking to Joe, like trying to plan out, like what
31:40
Speaker 1: we're doing for the pot and everything, just talking and
31:43

32:00
Speaker 1: was able to drop the kids off at the end
32:04
Speaker 1: laws actually they picked them up from the crib, so
32:06
Speaker 1: it was even easier. They picked them up from the crib.
32:10
Speaker 1: We stayed at my sister in law's house because she
32:13
Speaker 1: lives five minutes from Joe and we're like an hour
32:16
Speaker 1: from Joe, so it's like, all right, we could stay
32:18
Speaker 1: at my sister in last trip, she got the extra
32:20
Speaker 1: room so we could just go crazy and have a
32:23
Speaker 1: dope night and not even have to worry about nothing.
32:25
Speaker 2: Dog.
32:26
Speaker 1: So I pull up over there, I'm on the way,
32:29
Speaker 1: and Joe face signs me, which I already knew. I'm like,
32:33
Speaker 1: I looked at it. I'm like, yof, He's face timed me,
32:35

32:46
Speaker 1: I suspected where you at, where you act, I was like,
32:49
Speaker 1: I'm on the way, be there, so bro. As soon
32:53
Speaker 1: as I walked in my man Joe's house, he gave
32:55
Speaker 1: me the mic and we just started doing that for
32:58
Speaker 1: like four hours straight.
33:00

33:51
Speaker 3: club is you're playing your tracks and you're singing along

Speaker 3: with them. So imagine you get to choose a song
33:58

34:05
Speaker 3: soon as I got that system, that wireless mike system,
34:09
