1:32
that was a dope episode. So if you haven't heard that one, definitely
1:34
tap into the Cat Williams uh follow up conversation that we had with Jarry Knows.

2:29
actually dumb excited. That's some ruins in Cosmo. Yeah, yeah, Cosmeo's
2:36
in the Americans. Look last time I went to Cosmo. I don't know
2:40
if I've told this story on the pot, but I was really young.
2:44
I was like seventeen or eighteen, and I went on a cruise with like
2:47
seven or eight No no, no, no, no, I mean young
2:51
from the standpoint what the concept of the story is young. So like basically,
2:57
you know, when I got out there, it was like a cruise
2:59
with like my family and a few other people, and I had this,
3:02
uh, you know, I'm young looking for Bud and so I had buddy.
3:07
Guy. Before you said that, I was about to say you look
3:09
like yeah, because like I mean, and this is why I said young,
3:17
because like as an adult, like I'm not about to go somewhere like
3:22
Yo, where are we at? You know what I mean? But at
3:24
that age, Bro, I was trying to find it, and like,
3:27
but like this dude had us, like this Mexican guy basically took us through
3:32
this crazy like off the way like route to try to go find some bud.
3:38
Bro and The crazy part about it is looking back on it now,
3:42
I'm like, dog, we could have got got bro like bad, you
3:45
know what I'm saying, But like I wasn't thinking about it at that time.
3:47
But anyways, when we got there, the bub was trash, so
3:50
we just left. But you know what I'm saying, Like, looking back
3:53
on it, and I'm like, he really could have took us to wherever
3:55
and we was just following. Me and wife went on the cruise. I
4:00
don't remember which one it was. I don't know if it was our honeymoon,
4:04
our first year anniversary. We go on the cruise and we go to
4:08
Nassau. Right we get off on the on the port and you know,
4:12
like when you get off on the port, there's mad people that's always like
4:15
just trying to get you, like to buy stuff. They talking to you
4:18
about different things or whatever. And then some dude was just kind of brave,
4:23
like he's like yo, I'm like, what's up, man. He's
4:26
like, Yo, you want some of that? I'm like, no,
4:30
man, I'm good. He's like, are you sure? Man? I
4:32
got that to night Superman the weekend. That was like the funniest thing,
4:41
Dog, just getting off the port here and that he demembered that like it
4:44
was a movie line. Bro, it was no money man me and was
4:47
looking at what he did say that, yeah, man, so yeah,
4:56
I gotta I got a similar one of that. But it's like here cruise
5:01
stories stories and oh yeah for me. But do you always get off?
5:13
Are you wait? Are you getting off the boat doing excursion type of person
5:19
or you're just like chilling the boat? Yeah, yeah, Like the last
5:24
time we went to one of them, Bro, I'll be doing the like
5:30
like kind of like Quincy was saying, like he'd be doing I'll be doing
5:32
the suspect ship like now you know what, Like I'll be doing the excursions.
5:36
Like the people out like they're still on the port, but they're not
5:41
with the cruise, you know what I mean. So the last one that
5:44
we did, well, it wasn't Belize bro. No, no, it
5:47
wasn't Cozmo. We got off. We did the one that they give you
5:53
like a car, you know what. So we had a jeep. So
5:57
we get in the jeep, but that was the tour guy. It's like
6:00
cooler full of coronas in the back and he passes them to me. I'm
6:04
driving. He passes me one. He passes person that like he passes bears
6:10
to everybody and we're driving on a jeep with no doors nothing, Corona.
6:15
And it was one of them that they'll just take you like two different spots
6:17
for like a little bit of time each spot. Yeah, and it ends
6:21
at this restaurant that the restaurant is like it doubles as like a snorkeling spot.
6:27
Like you eat at the restaurant, it's on the water and then like
6:30
you're saying here and you snorkel right there, you get the way thirty minutes
6:33
for you going the water with the bubble guts in that wall. But it's
6:45
like a super We did that with the whole fam and everything, like the
6:48
kids when they always talk about that, like snorkeling in Mexico thing like that.
6:54
But yeah, the excursion zone, I don't want to do any of
6:58
this one, but it's like my famous crews together and they want to,
7:01
so I think we're gonna have to settle for a couple of them. I
7:04
feel like the excursions are like the big the best memory bro Like yeah,
7:09
like one time we went to the ruins, like I was telling you,
7:11
we went home when we went to Belize went to the the Mayan ruins there
7:16
and that was pretty crazy, like just seeing it, like it was like
7:18
a lot of it was pretty intact, and they're explaining like all the vegetation
7:24
that's around the area and how basically they were able to just stay in the
7:28
forest and like listen, you know what I mean, they never really had
7:31
to leave. It was just kind of crazy scene like and they're telling you
7:35
like, oh, this is the area that they did X, Y and
7:38
Z, this is this area, this is where this person would have lived,
7:40
and like it's there and that's crazy. Bro. See that's some talking
7:43
about I live in Proof. That's stuff I really believe. Yeah, fact,
7:46
that's that's the kind of stuff that when you see it, it's like
7:48
it makes the biggest impression, you know. I Mean, I've seen this
7:50
thing on Netflix the other day about this dude he was looking for like a
7:54
specific pyramid of somebody in Egypt and he pretty much pinpointed slash wrote it down
8:00
after like twenty thirty years like where he thinks the exact carreer where it is,
8:03
and they started digging there and then they started uncovering the stuff and they're
8:07
like dating and stuff a lot of this stuff was like some of the one
8:11
of them was like the oldest like Mummy or oldest ever found like in each
8:16
of like he discovered it and it was recently, you know what I mean.
8:18
And it's just crazy thinking like you're going in there and it's like you're
8:22
the only person to even breathe that air in like five thousand years. Bro.
8:28
It's just because that's how the Mummy and movie started. Yeo facts,
8:31
y know the Mummy. That was my joint back in the day. The
8:35
remake, the Tom Cruise remake, that John was that John was a little
8:37
scary. Damn. I ain't watching Man to long. Yeah, believe anything
8:41
in it they ever have a movie could happen in real life. Look at
8:43
some shit like that, like anything, or like The Men in Black or
8:46
like anything crazy that was a movie that one day come to you. You
8:50
believe Robot that's a good one, easily. I always talk about Blacklist,
8:58
like that's a show that I like a lot. I'll watch episodes of that
9:01
and it'd be like a crazy story and then I'll be like on CNN or
9:05
something the next day or not the next day, but like I'll just remember
9:09
the stories and then I'll go to like a news site and see like a
9:13
headline and read it and be like, bro, this is exactly like what
9:15
happened on that Black episode. Crazy stuff that I think, like, no,
9:20
there's no way, like this is like a crazy idea to do,
9:24
right, Yeah, exactly, James Spader, I think I see like almost
9:30
the whole first season. Yeah. To me, it's just a show.
9:33
It's a very something to daughter, right, Yeah, it's a very made
9:37
for TV series, so that like deters some people, you know what I
9:41
mean, And and sometimes to me like it bothers me a little, but
9:46
the story is fired, you know what I mean. Like, so it
9:48
always gives me intrigue. But like I'm not a big fan of those like
9:52
very TV feeling shows, you know what I mean, Yeah, like seeing
9:56
Sign Miami or something like that. Exactly, Yeah, I know what it's
10:00
like Vegas and it's so like we we're yeah, because there's certain shows like
10:05
that, you know what I mean. Like now watching this show called Kim's
10:07
Convenience and it's like mad fluff, you know what I mean. It's cool
10:13
as well written and everything. I enjoyed the story like a tear jerker type
10:16
vibe, you know what I mean. Family, Yeah, Ue, I've
10:20
seen I seen the previous but it's like fluffy, you know what I mean,
10:22
Like so like but I enjoy watching it, you know what I mean.
10:26
Right, Yeah, they're just they're all almost all the same. They
10:31
just have different story, different characters. Oh yeah, man, just speaking
10:37
of changes and stuff, like we haven't even like Joe was staying and you
10:41
were saying before, like we haven't caught up in a little while, like
10:45
ever since we got the salon up and running, like, I've just been
10:48
kind of go and I never really took the time to like just update my
10:52
studio because I had some of my wife's long stuff into here and it kind
10:56
of was like taking like a third of the studios. But I finally like
11:00
cleared it out, got all the junk out, and I ended up setting
11:03
my gym equipment back up in the area that I had, like which is
11:05
basically like what's behind us right now. You know. It's just let me
11:11
be able to like work out all the time as opposed to whin the weather's
11:13
good because that's kind of what I was stuck to before, you know what
11:16
I mean, And letting me like add the weight training back into my schedule
11:20
because I had like took off a long time where I wasn't doing anything like
11:24
weight based just because I was kind of like we were talking about in the
11:26
chat a little bit, I was just kind of like thrashing my body because
11:31
I was just you know, doing like powerlessing type movements and like powerlifting type
11:37
routines, and like it was just hurting my joints, my hips and everything.
11:41
And I'm like, bro, what am I doing? You know?
11:43
I just took a break just to kind of let my body really heal and
11:46
stuff, and like now I'm just kind of ready to go back. I've
11:48
been lifting. It feels real good, but it's been like with a different
11:52
purpose, different kind of energy when I'm lifting, you know what I mean.
11:56
I'm not trying to like put on this crazy weight. I'm just making
11:58
sure I got good form and I'm really hitting the muscle where it needs to
12:01
be hit, you know what i mean, Right, facts, Yeah,
12:05
listen to your body. Like I don't know if he'll know, Ronnie Coleman,
12:11
he's like a bodybuilder in that chapter, Like I don't know if it
12:18
was six or eight times. She's like I think he might even have the
12:20
record. But anyway, he lived like crazy. Wait, he's that guy
12:24
that'd be like like wait baby, you know what I mean. He'd be,
12:28
you know, going crazy. But he was lifting like crazy amounts of
12:35
weight and now he could like barely walk, you know what I mean.
12:37
Jim bro like doing his lists and everything, but like he had to get
12:41
like yeah, man, all that all that lifting heavy ass weight. Ain't
12:48
nobody supposed to do that, you know what I mean? A natural thing?
12:52
Facts. Shoot, what about you, Joe. I know you've been
12:56
you've been grinding out. I chose right after at the New Years. I
13:01
chose to cut out toxins and be good and go hard, try to go
13:05
do something active for every single day for the rest of January. And so
13:09
far I'm on track and it feels good, and then it's just a kickstart
13:13
to you know, form better habits and a better lifestyle choices. So like,
13:20
once this is over, I'm still going to maintain it as much as
13:22
possible, but I'm allowing myself to enjoy you know, every some I'm here
13:26
or there every week and every you know, once a week if that,
13:31
and still maintain and manage my weight loss. Pools. So that's what I've
13:37
been working on that so far, steady and seeing the changes coming, and
13:43
I'm excited to keep keep keep this flow going. That's what's up, man,
13:48
That's what's up. Yeah. And I started a couple of days ago
13:52
this detox before the cruise. I'm gonna do it before and after the cruise,
13:56
and then after the cruise. Yeah, man, it's it's I didn't
14:00
realize how much I want to call it water weight I was holding because like
14:05
I you know what I'm saying, everything has been liquid, you know what
14:07
I'm saying as far as like just flushing my body, and in two days,
14:11
but I dropped like seven pounds man, just in water weight. And
14:16
so like you know, obviously I'm go on the cruise and enjoy myself,
14:18
but once I've done, I want to do it again, and then from
14:22
there just really just kind of take that opportunity to kind of build from that,
14:26
you know what I'm saying, like eating better from there, working out
14:30
again, and just figuring out how to like really mix it in my diet
14:33
and in my schedule because right now, you know, with balancing you know,
14:39
two positions and stuff like that, it's been a little rough on my
14:43
That's why that's kind of wild. But it's been kind of tough for my
14:50
you know, just the schedules and stuff like that. But I definitely don't
14:54
want to make no excuses. Man, I've been actually tapped into this fifty
14:58
cent hustle, Harder, some smarter book. First book, so it's his
15:03
first book that he's authored himself. The other book he basically worked with Robert
15:09
Green, you know, the forty eight Laws of Power to create the fiftieth
15:13
Law, which was pretty good as well. But this one, this one's
15:18
dope. I like, I like the way he he's he attacked you know
15:24
this writing this book because you know, he used the experiences that we all
15:28
know and all have watched him go through to kind of convey his points.
15:31
And it's pretty dope. Yeah. As far as the cruise go, a
15:37
little bro, they always got a pretty good gym. Like it's yeah,
15:39
you hit the gym and the cruise and just basically because like you said,
15:43
bro, you're gonna enjoy Yourself'm the same bro when I go on a cruise,
15:46
I love them a little like some little hard rolls. Oh yeah yeah,
15:54
yeah, crunchy outside and like the soft and yeah, yeah, oh
15:58
my god, bro, I eat like, yeah, no, I definitely
16:04
don't. Already talked to uh, to the fiance about that. I was
16:07
like, yeah, we definitely want to make sure at least, you know
16:10
what I'm saying. It's like, bro, we do on vacation. We
16:11
got twenty four hours to do whatever we want. We can dedicate one hour
16:15
to just you know what I'm saying, like working it off. So like,
16:19
yeah, man, I definitely want to make that a part of the
16:21
trip for sure, just because I ain't go a lot. Brother, the
16:23
little the little comment shout out to Yoda. You know what I'm saying,
16:27
They definitely are motivating, and that's why I was like, yeah, talk
16:30
your ship, but still, you know, fuck you now on the ground,
16:37
man, it's a good feeling. Yeah, you know, encouraged everybody
16:42
time. Facts. Yeah, that's something that I was even talking to Freddy
16:48
about recently, just the concept of you know, me and him like to
16:52
play basketball and just talking about you don't have it anymore. It's like it's
16:56
not necessarily that you don't have it anymore, but when you think about you
17:00
as playing well every single day, so now you're playing once every couple of
17:03
weeks, maybe a couple of times a month, even if that like body
17:07
out of form. Like I feel like a lot of people confuse you know,
17:12
being old quote unquote with just being out of form. You know,
17:18
you can literally just that. That's one thing. You know, a lot
17:21
of people have things they say about CrossFit, and I've never done it myself,
17:25
but I like the idea of CrossFit where it's like it's just functional training,
17:30
so like in your everyday life, you use it, you know what
17:32
I mean. Like that is like just to make your day better. Like
17:36
if you ever have to use any force, you're able to use it,
17:38
and you're strong in areas where like yeah, exactly, things won't be an
17:42
issue. Mm. Like that's a lot of people use that, you know
17:45
what I mean, Like just that functional fitness where it's like, ain't nobody
17:49
saying that you got to be out here looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you know
17:52
what I mean? You really just be informed. So you know what I'm
17:56
saying. If somebody tells you, hey, let's move with this couch,
18:00
you can pick it up without dying. You know, there's tracts to the
18:03
hospital for your back out that matters a lot as you get older too.
18:11
Yeah, especially when you get older, because even like with the basketball example,
18:15
Bro, you're not just having all this time to do athletic stuff when
18:18
you're older, you know what I mean, so many other creeping away that
18:22
you can't spend three to four hours a day, you know, something active.
18:26
You know what I'm saying. That that just is not in the cards.
18:30
So you got to figure out ways to stay in formed. You ever
18:34
seen those chiropractic videos like like you know, random like reels and stuff that
18:40
come up. Yeah, yeah, Bro, some of those though, I'd
18:44
be like, dog like, how did it get to that point? Like
18:47
obviously you can't you know what I'm saying, You can't like judge anything.
18:52
But they're always like it'd be a dude that looks like I don't even know
18:59
what this guy who this guy is, but I think he was from SpongeBob.
19:02
He was like a little shriveled up thing in like a wheelchair, you
19:06
know what I mean. The guy always looks like decrepping, you know what
19:11
I'm saying. He's like hunched up and like chiropractor just breaks his whole life
19:17
and all of a sudden he's like walking out, like walking straight. You
19:21
know what I'm saying. It's like facts, bro, Like yo, those
19:26
videos never cease to abaze me, brocause I just be like Dog and it
19:30
is like the way how now how they have all the sound effects like dumb
19:33
like Chris, like you could hear everything the mics on their back you see
19:40
you? Yeah? Dogs now too? Yeah? Yeah? Bro? The
19:49
one that I never been able to fun and I'm gonna throw it out there,
19:52
please somebody if they could find it. Bro, There's this one chiropractor
19:59
video of like a gangster dude I think he was from Detroit or something like
20:03
that, getting his back cracked and Dog the way he reacted was so hilarious.
20:08
Like I don't even remember specific things. I just know he was a
20:12
gangsters. So like he was like having that ultra like aggressive response of like
20:18
like what is this dude doing? Cracking me? Like fixed them? So
20:22
he like didn't really know how to act, you know what I'm saying.
20:26
It was so funny, Bro, Do you have a go? Do you
20:30
have a go too? I don't remember. It was like I think he
20:33
was like a skinny, light skinned black dude. Okay, because I see
20:37
one with a dude with a go too and that don't have me rolling because
20:40
Dog was like I was in the car and I had to go to car
20:52
practice for a while and they did fix me up. No, no,
20:56
that's facts. I've never been to one Bro was true. I need to
21:00
go to one now, brou last time I went to one Dog, I
21:03
swear to god, Bro, my posture was like I was ten toes boy,
21:08
be on that yoga, that yoga stuff. It'd be crazy, man.
21:12
Like. Sometimes I'll like wake up and like halfway through, Like I'll
21:17
be like halfway through a pose and then all of a sudden, I just
21:19
feel like my hip like kind of like snapping the place, Like you know,
21:25
you just feel yourself like aligning sometimes like mid pose and you're like,
21:29
oh my god, it's like herd. I'll be scared. When you ever
21:33
cracked the collar ball, I thought I kill myself. Yeah, I thought
21:37
I kill myself. That sounds like, that sounds crazy. I've never cracked
21:41
out popper. Yeah. And then one time it was hurting I had the
21:48
stress not the collar man, Oh my god. Not. I think Robin
21:56
was like, uh like basically a professional dancing brush. She cracks like every
22:00
bone in her body. Bro, Like she can crack her sternum. Bro,
22:04
I'll be blowed. Yeah she just I was like, oh, that
22:11
I could do is crack my lower back pass And my wife always gets mad
22:15
because she don't know how to get it every time, you know what I
22:18
mean, Like she don't know how to like do it, and she'd be
22:21
getting frustrated, like da man, and then I would just get it,
22:23
Like yeah, I feel like the older I get, I'll probably get better.
22:29
But like until like a couple of years ago, I couldn't crack nothing.
22:32
Pause that sound crazy, but like oh no but no man, now
22:41
my neck, bro, I can get I can get that right. But
22:42
yeah, same, I can crack man. I wanted to mention that I
22:49
just dropped a waiting on You song like the Christmas song to but like this
22:57
is like the first song I feel like I really like drop where it was
23:00
like you and it was it's just dope seeing like the response and even before
23:06
we got on once I was gonna mess in the show, like I've been
23:08
like double guessing like a lot of stuff that I've been doing lately, Like
23:11
I haven't been like trusting my instinct. But like even with the song that
23:15
I dropped, Like, I'm just surprised that, like many people, it
23:18
was like really messing with it where it's just like really what I wanted it
23:22
to be as a song, and I just did it and just didn't really
23:27
give thoughts about it, and it ended up being like a song that people
23:30
are messing with. And I feel like it's going to be one of that
23:33
people you know that's gonna do some numbers. The video concept perfectly. Yeah,
23:41
that was all Freddy Man, like he had just come over just to
23:44
do some like random content just for the song, you know what I mean.
23:48
He just like he always does bro Like he'll just like he's like a
23:52
computer, Like he'll just calculate for a little bit, setting up some shots
23:57
and then you don't really really know what's going on, you know what I'm
24:00
saying. And then he'll just like show you something that you don't even know
24:04
that he shot. You know what I'm saying, Fat, When did you
24:08
do this? You know what I mean? Sometimes I have like ideas and
24:12
like I don't know where I want to go with it, But then there's
24:15
other times where like you know, for me, I'm like the type of
24:18
person that's like nowadays with how videos are like for me to spend o the
24:23
time or you know what I'm saying, like put more on my budget than
24:26
that as apost other things. It's like it don't even make sense because videos
24:32
ain't like that watching like that, you know what I'm saying. And even
24:37
like the people that are spending that crazy amount of better way, videos aren't
24:41
that crazy, even he didn't really return off the video itself, you know
24:45
what I'm saying. That's just like videos used to be everything too. Yeah,
24:48
man, I mean you talk about Michael Jackson had videos that like a
24:52
million dollar budgets bro, like eight all the hype videos. It's crazy,
24:57
like that was the minimum before million and like millions, like every video a
25:03
million dollar plus. It was just like a thing that always happened. And
25:07
man, now they might spend five k major artists, you know what I'm
25:11
saying, Like there's justin Bieber videos that it's just him while he was on
25:17
tour, like just footage of them on the tour bus and behind the scenes
25:19
and stuff, and they just put it together in a dope way. But
25:22
they ain't spend no money on that. You know, It's just Hey,
25:26
what footage we got, let's put together a video for this song? Now,
25:30
that much Jackson video was all cgi, what's it gonna be? Oh
25:33
yeah, yeah, that was all matrix. That's like that that you that
25:41
you lose, you know what I'm saying, Like, nobody putting that kind
25:45
of thought or energy into the videos like that, and people don't even watch
25:48
them, even me, Like I don't you know, if I hear a
25:52
video comes out, I'm not rushing to watch it, you know, I
25:53
don't care. There's a lot of songs that I'm like a huge fan of
25:57
the song and it's always in my library rotation, and like I might come
26:00
across the video and be like, oh day, I didn't even know this
26:03
had a video. You know what I'm saying, I'm pleasantly surprised, And
26:06
I'll watch it one time. I probably won't remember what it's about, you
26:08
know. Yeah, I was watching like one video watched all the time.
26:14
It's a Honey video. And then we talked about just how good that song
26:17
is. But the video is a banger too, Like it's all earth tones,
26:21
it's all like the same shade brown. Yeah, and it's so esthetically
26:26
pleasing that the song fits it so perfectly. Like I watched that video one
26:30
hundred times over. Yeah, Like I said, that's that's something that I
26:34
feel like I ain't never coming back. But even though kind of going off
26:38
that, like me and Freddie got something that we're kind of cooking. But
26:42
we were talking the other day about just content in general, you know,
26:47
and like it's even something that we talked about that's kind of been coming up
26:52
lately with like the comedians we've been linking up with and stuff. Because like
26:55
in comedy, it's like your your act is like your currency, you know
26:59
what I'm saying. And I feel like people that make content they kind of
27:03
want different opportunities slash, they want people to check them out. But it's
27:07
like you're not producing the content. At the end of the day, Like
27:11
whatever kind of thing you're trying to do, you need to produce something.
27:15
That's always your resume, you know what I'm saying. You can't say that
27:18
you do something you're not producing it what it is. You know, if
27:22
it's a business, if it's art, if it's videos, if it's music,
27:29
if it's if you're a streamer, whatever it is, you know,
27:30
if you're not producing and people don't got something to look back on, like
27:34
and see a history and see what you got going on, and you don't
27:37
give them something to logic and think you're just starting off and then you do
27:41
it and they're not gonna want to invest, you know, I mean the
27:45
time and energy into it something that It's always been like a thing as far
27:53
as like content goes, but a lot of people don't really apply it to
27:57
just regular life to you know what I mean, Which is the more important
28:00
thing aside from making content or whatever your persona or whatever you got going on
28:03
the internet is more importantly like in your life, what are you producing that
28:08
you can actually like have like a history of, like you know, just
28:12
to be successful, Like, you can't be successful if you don't have a
28:15
history of consistently turning projects around, you know, regardless of what it is,
28:19
if it's at work, if it's at your nine to five, is
28:22
it's that your independent business, whatever it is, your creative stuff. You
28:26
got to be on that wave. Yeah, you got to be considered.
28:30
That's and that's like you said, it's like every aspect of your life,
28:33
you got to be consistent in order for anything to happen with it consistency doesn't
28:37
matter how you do something well you do it if you don't do it consistently
28:41
exactly. Yeah. One of the things City said in the book, he
28:44
said, you know, one of the things that he hates the most is
28:48
when someone that doesn't hasn't shown anything or hasn't shown a resume, says,
28:52
hey, put me on or put me onto something, because he's like,
28:56
first off, you don't even have a resume, show me what you want.
29:00
But second off, you can't even articulate it. You can't even articulate
29:04
exactly what it is that you want. Put me on doesn't say anything.
29:07
Yeah, you know, that's one hundred percent correct because like I've worked with
29:15
artists and then the artists that I haven't worked with that you know, we
29:18
try to work usually hanged up. Or the issue with us not doing anything
29:25
like creatively is that you know, work ethic and not creating. You know
29:30
what I mean, Like, if you're ready to create, we can create
29:33
something because there's nothing stopping us, you know what I'm saying. Like I
29:37
just had an artist reach out to me about working together. I checked them
29:41
out. He's doing this thing. He sent me a folder of beats like
29:45
he because he produces too, Like, Yo, you know, I got
29:47
this folder. If if you hear anything, you're liking it, we can
29:49
do something on that. You know what I'm saying. I'm gonna send him
29:52
some beats and hopefully we get something together. But even that first step is
29:55
like if you're coming to somebody and you have a situation, you're offering rech
30:00
sources for that person to get their wheels turning, because all right, you
30:04
know, I don't got to do everything exactly. It's like what do you
30:08
bring in this situation? And that's like a little hood thing too, where
30:11
it's like nobody wants to be somebody's bitch, quote unquote. You're not being
30:15
a bitch because you're making somebody's life easier. You're just adding value and showing
30:19
like, hey, the lane I'm trying to be in, I could be
30:22
in this lane because I could produce in this lane, you know what I
30:26
mean. That's that's what it is. At the end of the day,
30:27
whatever you say you do, you have to be able to do mm hmm
30:32
facts. You can recognize that from people easily to like people who are really
30:37
trying to do it and trying to make a difference doing it and people who
30:41
are just looking for something would to piggyback on. To me, a number
30:45
one sign is somebody that's trying to get something off the ground and they haven't,
30:49
because it's like if you can't even get it off the ground, you
30:52
already lost. Have to battle, you know what I mean, Like if
30:55
you're scared to take the first lap, nobody can help you until at least
30:59
that still you don't soon. I can't do that at not not at not
32:52
not not not not not at
