- 4:27Speaker 1: They didn't make it out. Bros.
- 4:28Speaker 2: It's crazy, man, Like just to think about something like
- 4:33Speaker 2: that sticking to you and like middle school could just shape.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Your whole life, bro. Like that's insane. Bro. He you're
- 4:40Speaker 1: describing becoming a police officer. Yo. That's wow.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Bro, Yo, it's crazy man. Like in my neighborhood, Bro,
- 4:50Speaker 2: like they would just get people insane names and like
- 4:52Speaker 2: that was your name. You know what I'm saying, Like
- 4:55Speaker 2: I forbid your name Ryan was something else? Oh yeah,
- 4:57Speaker 2: you cook dog, Yo, that's why I had to get
- 5:01Speaker 2: tough skinned dog. My name is Lester.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Bro.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, you know how much I've endured being Lester dog?
- 5:10Speaker 2: And then I'm from Puerto Rico on top of the
- 5:12Speaker 2: like where the fuck y'all got Lester from? And I'm
- 5:15Speaker 2: not even the first Lester. I'm the second Lester.
- 5:17Speaker 1: You're Lester the second.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I'm the second.
- 5:19Speaker 1: I'm junior, Bro.
- 5:20Speaker 2: I mean I'm not literally a junior. But my dad's
- 5:22Speaker 2: name was Lester too, So like, Bro, where did my
- 5:25Speaker 2: grandparents in Puerto Ricos figure out? Like, Yo, I'm gonna
- 5:28Speaker 2: name this guy Lester? Like Lester is not even a
- 5:31Speaker 2: name you could say in Spanish. You have to say it,
- 5:33Speaker 2: and you have to say the English name in Spanish,
- 5:36Speaker 2: and it's lettin it, so it's not even like there's
- 5:39Speaker 2: a Spanish pronunciation for it dog, So it don't even
- 5:43Speaker 2: make any sense at all.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Bro. I love when Spanish people. It's almost like they
- 5:49Speaker 1: put a stick in their own front tire of a bike,
- 5:52Speaker 1: lik and fuck themselves up when they name their kid
- 5:55Speaker 1: Victor and he's telling everyone his name's Beakter. Why would
- 6:00Speaker 1: you do that? You know, you guys can't say you'r
- 6:02Speaker 1: v's and your be's and you just ruined your kids
- 6:05Speaker 1: child And the crazy nam speaker.
- 6:08Speaker 2: The best thing can be the spelling, bro like because
- 6:11Speaker 2: a lot of times like they'll just spell it like
- 6:13Speaker 2: how it sounds. But and the funny thing is, like
- 6:16Speaker 2: other languages they're spelling makes more sense than English, Like
- 6:20Speaker 2: English spelling don't make no sense. Like it was just
- 6:22Speaker 2: somebody said it's something spell like this.
- 6:24Speaker 1: With no reasoning.
- 6:25Speaker 2: They just said, hey, we're spelling this like this. These
- 6:28Speaker 2: two words that look exactly the same, they don't. You
- 6:31Speaker 2: don't pronounce them the same, Like who who thought of that?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Bro? Like?
- 6:35Speaker 2: Who thought to make one word mean different things? And
- 6:37Speaker 2: you can say it different ways?
- 6:39Speaker 1: Like you learned that when you're failing in English class,
- 6:41Speaker 1: you're like, bro, what I thought I spoke English? Dad?
- 6:45Speaker 1: Ass Bro.
- 6:46Speaker 2: That reminds me of the Cat Williams thing where he's
- 6:48Speaker 2: talking about the fork and we were spelling all this
- 6:51Speaker 2: that the.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Knife yep, bitch that says good night. Nah, that's crazy, man.
- 7:00Speaker 2: But Yo, we were talking earlier about when you would
- 7:03Speaker 2: pull up to your Homeboys crib when you was younger
- 7:06Speaker 2: and play some video games.
- 7:08Speaker 1: What the experience was like, right, oh yeah, when like
- 7:12Speaker 1: everything made sense in the world. Nah.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Facts, But specifically I was talking about you know that
- 7:17Speaker 2: like secondary remote everybody always has in their house because
- 7:21Speaker 2: the parent won't buy them two of the official remotes.
- 7:25Speaker 2: Get you one real remote and then like one from
- 7:28Speaker 2: game Stop or wal or whatever.
- 7:30Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying now, the grocery store game control.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Oh yeah, fact with like the slow respond checking out. Yeah,
- 7:35Speaker 1: it's lagged, bro, when you hit pass ten minutes ago
- 7:40Speaker 1: and you just get sacked and you're like, bro, I
- 7:42Speaker 1: was hitting the button. Yeah.
- 7:43Speaker 2: It's funny because I was asked a video game. I mean,
- 7:45Speaker 2: I still am bro, Like I'm trash oft video games.
- 7:47Speaker 2: One of my homies was like real big on playing
- 7:49Speaker 2: Fight Night, and we was playing on the Xbox back
- 7:52Speaker 2: in the day, and like, you know how in like
- 7:55Speaker 2: Fight Night, between rounds, you would like you would recover
- 7:58Speaker 2: your fighter, you.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Know what I mean? Yeah, you like you were cutting.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Yeah, like you were the cut man, like you were
- 8:05Speaker 2: deciding if you was in to drink water, like you were.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Pep talking them. Yeah.
- 8:08Speaker 2: They were like, come on, bro, you was there like
- 8:10Speaker 2: choosing what words to say, like tell him he's a bitch,
- 8:14Speaker 2: but you would yo. So we got to the end
- 8:17Speaker 2: of the first round. I was whooping him for the
- 8:18Speaker 2: first time, dog, because I'm asked. Like I told you,
- 8:21Speaker 2: he always whooped me. We got to the end of
- 8:23Speaker 2: the first round and during the little cut scene thing,
- 8:26Speaker 2: he was like kind of going ham So the game froze,
- 8:29Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And the game frozen. He' said,
- 8:32Speaker 2: I got to restart it, and I'm like I beat
- 8:34Speaker 2: you though, like I already beat you if you restarted, Like,
- 8:38Speaker 2: I'm not gonna play you because I just whooped you.
- 8:40Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 8:42Speaker 2: Knowing in my head I got one round on him,
- 8:44Speaker 2: He's probably gonna whop my ass the second round because
- 8:46Speaker 2: he knows I got lucky.
- 8:48Speaker 1: That was it, Bro. I never played him again. Dog.
- 8:50Speaker 1: He still brings that ship up to me to this day.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Damn Well. The resetting the game was like an official rule,
- 8:58Speaker 1: like if you had the CD that had the skipping it,
- 9:01Speaker 1: the scratch. It would always get to that certain point
- 9:04Speaker 1: in the game. People don't the kids now, they don't,
- 9:06Speaker 1: they don't get the struggle bro facts when you're when
- 9:09Speaker 1: you're fucking CD skipped and you had that situation where
- 9:14Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, if you hit the reset button, that's
- 9:18Speaker 1: a w in my facts, and then people would go
- 9:21Speaker 1: to war over that. Like I don't know if kids
- 9:24Speaker 1: do it today, but remember that there's always that one
- 9:26Speaker 1: kid who had like roid rage. Because now rage quitting
- 9:29Speaker 1: you just leave the game online, but rage quitting back then,
- 9:32Speaker 1: like there was that one slow kid that would just
- 9:35Speaker 1: slam the controller and the buttons would fly out of it.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Out of that fact bootleg controller, the X button just
- 9:41Speaker 1: goes like a grenade.
- 9:44Speaker 2: I always felt like that was such a like like
- 9:47Speaker 2: you're really dumb, Like you're shooting yourself in the foot.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Bro.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Oh you're the one that plays this shit, you know
- 9:52Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like I never threw my remote.
- 9:54Speaker 1: It's like, what the fuck am dude? Yeah, you're like one,
- 9:56Speaker 1: I paid for it, facts, but yeah, no it was
- 10:00Speaker 1: And then like memory cards, you couldn't even save your game.
- 10:04Speaker 1: You didn't have a memory card I.
- 10:06Speaker 2: Remember when NBA Street came out in my neighborhood, Like
- 10:10Speaker 2: the first kid that got it, he ain't turned his
- 10:13Speaker 2: PlayStation off for like seven days, bro, because he didn't
- 10:16Speaker 2: have the memory It was like he got.
- 10:18Speaker 1: It for Christmas.
- 10:20Speaker 2: They gave him the game, right, but they didn't give
- 10:22Speaker 2: him a memory card. He was trying to like figure
- 10:24Speaker 2: out how he was going to get the memory card,
- 10:26Speaker 2: like with Christmas money or whatever the case was.
- 10:28Speaker 1: You know, you got a plot by, but you got
- 10:29Speaker 1: to leave the system on Dog, you got a fan.
- 10:32Speaker 2: It left that bitch on seven days straight because we
- 10:34Speaker 2: unlocked everything.
- 10:35Speaker 3: He remember there was a big yetti that you could
- 10:37Speaker 3: play with Street. You know he was like seven foot now.
- 10:42Speaker 3: The fire one was Bigs. He was like a swoll
- 10:48Speaker 3: black dude. He had like crazy handles ankle breaker too.
- 10:52Speaker 1: He was too strong. Bro.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Whenever you had that dude Bigs on your team, you
- 10:56Speaker 2: knew that you was cooking, Broe.
- 10:57Speaker 1: That's the dude that could dunk and shoot. Yeah.
- 10:59Speaker 2: He was just and he was dumb swollen like if
- 11:02Speaker 2: he if he crossed you over, you're falling. Because remember
- 11:05Speaker 2: if you just did a crossover next to somebody, they
- 11:07Speaker 2: would just fly away.
- 11:09Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, shatter their ankles. I used
- 11:11Speaker 1: to spam the hell out of that, yo.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Just go next to somebody, do the crossover and then
- 11:15Speaker 2: just flying away dog. And then you get accused of
- 11:20Speaker 2: button mashing. Oh yeah, fact that was the Street Fighter days, man. Yeah,
- 11:24Speaker 2: and Street Fighter you you could button mash your way
- 11:27Speaker 2: to a victory pretty easily.
- 11:28Speaker 1: It sucked when he had like the kid that didn't
- 11:30Speaker 1: know how to play. He would he would his big
- 11:32Speaker 1: ass thumb would hit every button at the same time.
- 11:35Speaker 1: And just like, bro, you don't even know how to
- 11:38Speaker 1: play the game. Yo.
- 11:39Speaker 2: One of like my worst memories is my mom whooping
- 11:42Speaker 2: me a Street Fighter dog, like she just did the
- 11:45Speaker 2: button mashing and I could not be here.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Bro, I was so mad that day. Just headkick.
- 11:49Speaker 2: He still brings it up to me and I'll be
- 11:50Speaker 2: playing it off like I don't care, like I barely remember.
- 11:54Speaker 1: As you wiped it what you're talking about.
- 11:55Speaker 2: And I looked at the side and I'm crying.
- 11:57Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 11:58Speaker 2: She really whooped me in Street Fight the dog.
- 12:01Speaker 1: It is crazy when when the parent lays the SmackDown. Bro.
- 12:04Speaker 2: You remember back in the day the games didn't even
- 12:07Speaker 2: have like the joysticks on it, I mean the remotes,
- 12:10Speaker 2: Like it was just the remote with like the directional pad.
- 12:12Speaker 1: And then the original PlayStation controller was depad exactly, just
- 12:16Speaker 1: a deepad and that's it.
- 12:18Speaker 2: So I rented Ape Escape from Blockbuster, right dumb height
- 12:22Speaker 2: because I didn't get to rent games that much, you
- 12:25Speaker 2: know what I mean.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I ran Ape Escape, Bro, I pull up to the house.
- 12:29Speaker 2: You need the joystick to catch the apes because like
- 12:33Speaker 2: the guy has like a little net and use the
- 12:36Speaker 2: joystick to swing the net to catch the apes. Bro,
- 12:39Speaker 2: I couldn't even play it though. He couldn't catch any apes.
- 12:42Speaker 2: I couldn't even play the game. I couldn't even get
- 12:43Speaker 2: past the mains. Like the first screen, it was like,
- 12:45Speaker 2: you don't have the right remote it And I'm like, what.
- 12:48Speaker 1: What are you talking about? That dual shock too, bro,
- 12:51Speaker 1: the dual shot That's what it was. Now.
- 12:54Speaker 2: That dual shock was insane when it first dropped that
- 12:56Speaker 2: that like, uh.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Probably ran up the parents power bill. I remember. The
- 13:00Speaker 1: duel Shock was the like that was the death of.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Dumb people playing video games because they could not figure
- 13:08Speaker 2: out how to move using two joysticks. Yeah, it was
- 13:11Speaker 2: the next thing you know what I mean, Like when
- 13:12Speaker 2: it was just a d pad, somebody could casually play
- 13:15Speaker 2: video games.
- 13:16Speaker 1: Yeah, separate bro the duel. Yeah.

- 13:51Speaker 2: Like where you're actually expected to have fun as opposed
- 13:54Speaker 2: to like, you know before it was like yeah, before
- 13:57Speaker 2: it was like the kids was helping out.

- 15:29Speaker 1: the morning with like the miners humet on just to
- 15:32Speaker 1: see like what we were cutting by the water, and Bro,
- 15:34Speaker 1: all that grass would just come back hit you in
- 15:36Speaker 1: the forehead. You look like you were like in the trenches.
- 15:40Speaker 1: When you were done. You like that called a duty skin.
- 15:43Speaker 1: By the end of it, Will what's that guy wear
- 15:45Speaker 1: in a gilly suit? Yeah?
- 15:47Speaker 2: Facts, facts, Bro. Now that's man. I'm glad.
- 15:53Speaker 1: I'm glad that's not my fate. Nah. Yeah, you gotta
- 15:57Speaker 1: steer steer left of that, man.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Yo, you've seen that. I mean it has to get
- 16:03Speaker 2: approved and ship. But that Netflix is acquiring uh hbo
- 16:07Speaker 2: Max and Bros.
- 16:09Speaker 1: I think I just saw that this morning. That's kind
- 16:11Speaker 1: of kind of crazy. Yeah. No, it's get into the
- 16:14Speaker 1: era of like people call it late stage capitalism, but
- 16:17Speaker 1: it's like the monopolism, like monopolization of everything, like how
- 16:21Speaker 1: Amazon is getting into pharmaceuticals, so it's like, damn, they're
- 16:25Speaker 1: just gonna own everything. Everything will be Amazon basics. Literally
- 16:30Speaker 1: your car, you got the Amazon basis.
- 16:32Speaker 2: It's funny with the with the cake, with the streaming
- 16:35Speaker 2: services stuff, like the whole thing was like cutting the cord,
- 16:39Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And it's gonna end up
- 16:40Speaker 2: just going back to one person owning all the streaming stuff.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Oh yeah, just gonna have to pay one person and
- 16:46Speaker 2: get all the stuff. Like it's just gonna go right
- 16:48Speaker 2: back to what they were saying that it was gonna
- 16:50Speaker 2: get away from.
- 16:51Speaker 1: You know, No, they finessed the hell out of the people. Man.
- 16:54Speaker 1: I was thinking about that this morning. The uh, the
- 16:57Speaker 1: fact that you pay for a streaming service and then
- 17:00Speaker 1: they hit you with the ads no fact, and you're like, oh, bro,
- 17:04Speaker 1: y'all just made us like think that the cable was
- 17:08Speaker 1: the enemy and then just did the same thing but worse,
- 17:12Speaker 1: well worse exactly, straight mom, to not show you the ad. Yeah,
- 17:17Speaker 1: they're getting money both ways. Facts now that it's insane.
- 17:20Speaker 1: You pay us for this or you pay us for this.
- 17:23Speaker 1: No fact. There's two options and both is you pay.
- 17:27Speaker 2: And where where do these people be starting?
- 17:29Speaker 1: Is insane?
- 17:29Speaker 2: Like you mentioned Amazon, like selling books out your garage,
- 17:34Speaker 2: you know, Netflix mailing people DVDs, you know what I'm saying,
- 17:38Speaker 2: And now these companies doing a billion dollar deals Like
- 17:41Speaker 2: what the hell?
- 17:41Speaker 1: Bro? No, It's it's crazy man. A lot of people
- 17:45Speaker 1: I was, I went down this rabbit hole of like
- 17:47Speaker 1: all these companies didn't start in like a garage. That's
- 17:50Speaker 1: just like, oh, that's just like they're really started in
- 17:53Speaker 1: like those eyes wide hut parties like drawling the uh
- 17:59Speaker 1: drawing the freaking penogram on the ground and they're like Amazon, you.
- 18:03Speaker 2: See you're seeing anything about that?
- 18:04Speaker 1: Did he doc did really make that? Yeah? He did? Bro.
- 18:09Speaker 2: He's a morning TV like talking about it and everything,
- 18:13Speaker 2: like just like doing interviews about it.
- 18:15Speaker 1: He got footage.
- 18:17Speaker 2: From like did he gearing up for the trial? Like
- 18:21Speaker 2: up close and personal footage.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Of him some he had like someone on the inside.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, And I think today day I'm not one
- 18:28Speaker 2: hundred percent sure, but I think today they said that
- 18:31Speaker 2: a bodyguard was the one that did it and like
- 18:33Speaker 2: confirmed it gave him all the footage of everything.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Damn.
- 18:38Speaker 2: He was like it looked like he was basically like
- 18:41Speaker 2: filming everything thinking that he was about to win and
- 18:44Speaker 2: filming it like oh, like I beat the government. You
- 18:47Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, Like behind black story type.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Thing, you know what I mean? Damn yep that that
- 18:53Speaker 1: that didn't age well as they say.
- 18:55Speaker 2: No facts and then they using it all in the
- 18:57Speaker 2: in the Netflix doc that's in.
- 18:59Speaker 1: Same crazy Bro. They drop the Epstein picks too.
- 19:03Speaker 2: Oh yeah, picture of the crazy mask and that dental
- 19:06Speaker 2: room and all that.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Bro, how much money I want to make? Just enough
- 19:11Speaker 1: before I get into some weird shit. Does that make sense?
- 19:14Speaker 1: You know?
- 19:14Speaker 2: It's funny you say that because I always had like
- 19:16Speaker 2: this little theory in the back of my head that
- 19:18Speaker 2: like to cross over into the realm of making like real,
- 19:22Speaker 2: real money. Like there's no way you can go into
- 19:25Speaker 2: that clean, you feel me. Like there's just like a
- 19:29Speaker 2: like a certain threshold bro that like there's no way
- 19:32Speaker 2: you can cross into that and just be clean.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Bro.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Yeah, Like just the way that these things operate and
- 19:39Speaker 2: the way these rooms be, and the way these other
- 19:41Speaker 2: people be, like even the people that you have to
- 19:43Speaker 2: link with to make those kind of deals and stuff
- 19:46Speaker 2: them some sinister people.
- 19:49Speaker 1: So it's like it's crazy, dog.
- 19:51Speaker 2: Like everybody always say they want to make more money,
- 19:54Speaker 2: they want to do like it's like the music thing.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Bro. People always be like, oh, why you don't do
- 19:59Speaker 1: X Y and Z.
- 20:00Speaker 2: It's like because X Y and Z comes with a
- 20:02Speaker 2: whole other bag of stuff.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Like it's different. You know.
- 20:06Speaker 2: You you want somebody just to be known, Like that's
- 20:10Speaker 2: what you're seeing and you're thinking, that's what everybody wants,
- 20:13Speaker 2: like just for everybody to know you.
- 20:15Speaker 1: But that don't mean nothing, bro.
- 20:16Speaker 2: Like you don't want to have the curse of the
- 20:19Speaker 2: fame and then you broke to like you know what
- 20:21Speaker 2: I'm saying.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's tons of those stories.
- 20:23Speaker 2: There's like a short list on top of the artists
- 20:26Speaker 2: that are winning in a big, big way like that,
- 20:29Speaker 2: like of those kind of people and even that like
- 20:31Speaker 2: kind of like what we were talking about earlier, like
- 20:34Speaker 2: what did they have to give up to get to
- 20:35Speaker 2: that level?
- 20:36Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 20:38Speaker 2: That ass brothers giving up them bunions dog.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Yeah No, it's crazy man. Yeah. Like you oh, like
- 20:46Speaker 1: as soon as you get a favor done, it's like
- 20:48Speaker 1: in those prison docks where they're like, yo, if they
- 20:50Speaker 1: put the Snickers on your pillow, don't eat it, bro,
- 20:53Speaker 1: because now you oh for the whole time you're in there. Yeah,
- 20:57Speaker 1: being compromised would be would be no facts. I've seen
- 21:02Speaker 1: it too, Like if you go to La and stuff,
- 21:04Speaker 1: you see like some people just play this. They're like
- 21:07Speaker 1: they're not even like themselves anymore. They got a character
- 21:11Speaker 1: because anything else will mess up the bread. You gotta
- 21:15Speaker 1: even like with your speech, you gotta like always be
- 21:19Speaker 1: media trained.
- 21:20Speaker 2: You even see it with like low level people that
- 21:23Speaker 2: just be out and about. Bro, they'll always like try
- 21:26Speaker 2: to take pictures with anybody of notoriety, Like even if
- 21:29Speaker 2: they didn't talk to them that day, they're just like, yo,
- 21:31Speaker 2: can I take a pic stand next to them? Their
- 21:34Speaker 2: whole page just picks like that, and then they'd be like, yo,
- 21:36Speaker 2: you know, mess with me. I'm tapped in, Like you
- 21:39Speaker 2: just took a picture, bro, Like every one of your
- 21:42Speaker 2: pictures are in like a parking lot.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Bro, you're not tapped in with nobody. You went to
- 21:46Speaker 1: the book signing, my guy.
- 21:49Speaker 2: You know where they go Like like speaking of fifty
- 21:51Speaker 2: said when he had like the bottle signing is like
- 21:53Speaker 2: talking big businesses for fifty. Now, Bro, you spend fifty
- 21:55Speaker 2: dollars on the bottle and he took a picture.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. That was the extent of that right,
- 22:00Speaker 1: five big business. I said, I was a big fan.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Literally, that's all that happened.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Bro. I love get Richard Dietrich. Yeah, bro, love your stuff, man,
- 22:11Speaker 1: love your stuff. You know, dinner out here in the
- 22:16Speaker 1: parking lot. Just left Olive Garden with fifty cent the garden. Yeah,
- 22:21Speaker 1: the flexing for the gram that was a crazy era.
- 22:23Speaker 1: I feel like people are people still do it, but
- 22:25Speaker 1: it's kind of funny like that kind of eras is
- 22:28Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah, it definitely faded out, like even like
- 22:30Speaker 1: you can even tell with like whenever you're doing content
- 22:34Speaker 1: like that, the super high polished, well produced stuff is
- 22:39Speaker 1: like like some people aren't even like gravitating to that
- 22:42Speaker 1: anymore because they look at it like, oh you out
- 22:44Speaker 1: of touch, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, no,
- 22:47Speaker 1: we were just talking about this, if you know Shee
- 22:50Speaker 1: Dialer a couple other comics, but we're saying, like, man,
- 22:54Speaker 1: with this content thing, sometimes I feel like you're like,
- 22:58Speaker 1: is this is this like considered corny? But then you realize,
- 23:03Speaker 1: like people just want like silly stuff facts if that
- 23:06Speaker 1: makes sense.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's like people will appreciate something that's dope
- 23:10Speaker 2: no matter what level it is. Like there's people on
- 23:12Speaker 2: TikTok that they'll just pull out their front camera and
- 23:15Speaker 2: just go on a thirty second rant.
- 23:16Speaker 1: They do that like every day.
- 23:18Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody tapped in like every day just waiting for
- 23:20Speaker 2: them to say something because they're just they just got
- 23:23Speaker 2: that persona or whatever the case is, you know what
- 23:25Speaker 2: I mean.
- 23:26Speaker 1: People also feel like they're a part of They feel
- 23:29Speaker 1: like they're being validated by that person talking to the camera.
- 23:34Speaker 1: It's almost like a you're on like FaceTime with.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Them, yeah, but you have no idea who they are.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Another thing that I wanted to say too is like
- 23:44Speaker 2: a lot of people want to do the high quality stuff,
- 23:47Speaker 2: but then like when you get to like a certain
- 23:50Speaker 2: when you're trying to like emulate a certain look, like
- 23:52Speaker 2: you're trying to do something that somebody else is doing
- 23:55Speaker 2: with like a million dollars, you know what I'm saying,
- 23:57Speaker 2: So like if you don't have the million dollars, don't
- 24:01Speaker 2: try to emulate that, because it's just gonna look like
- 24:03Speaker 2: a lower rent version of that, you know what I'm saying.
- 24:05Speaker 2: Because people that see like, you know, the music video
- 24:09Speaker 2: with like five lambos in it, and then they rent
- 24:12Speaker 2: a stock BMW for the weekend to shoot videos with.
- 24:15Speaker 1: It's like, why did you waste.
- 24:17Speaker 2: Three hundred dollars to have the soccer mom BMW in
- 24:22Speaker 2: your video when you could have just used that for
- 24:25Speaker 2: promo or whatever the case is. You know what I'm saying,
- 24:27Speaker 2: Like you're not convincing nobody or nothing because you rented
- 24:31Speaker 2: a lower series you know car, Like it's not gonna
- 24:34Speaker 2: do nothing for you.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think that's the era we're in
- 24:37Speaker 1: where like if you were to make a music video,
- 24:41Speaker 1: people would want to see you wrapping in like the
- 24:43Speaker 1: ninety eight Tivic versus like a clearly like an obvious rental.
- 24:49Speaker 1: There's some obvious rentals, you know when you see.
- 24:53Speaker 2: Fact bro crazy stickers on the inside of the windshield.
- 24:57Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, This is not always case,
- 25:00Speaker 2: but no tint, you know what I'm saying, Like usually
- 25:02Speaker 2: if it's no tint, it's a rental because the Renzo's
- 25:04Speaker 2: never got ten on them, straight up. But it's funny, man,
- 25:07Speaker 2: Like you know, everybody goes through that stage when they're
- 25:10Speaker 2: trying to do anything, like in the public eye.
- 25:13Speaker 1: You know, they feel like they got.
- 25:14Speaker 2: To rent this or get a certain piece of clothing
- 25:17Speaker 2: or whatever the case is. You know, to to look
- 25:19Speaker 2: like they're doing what they're doing. But at the end
- 25:21Speaker 2: of the day, you just got to really be doing
- 25:23Speaker 2: what you say you're doing and that's it.
- 25:24Speaker 1: You know, that's pretty much it. Yeah, it's like you'll
- 25:26Speaker 1: get there when you get there, but you that's something
- 25:29Speaker 1: I had to learn, like over the last couple of
- 25:32Speaker 1: years was just like, yeah, stay in your lane, like
- 25:36Speaker 1: through and through. Yeah, Like don't try to do anything crazy.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Like now, if I look at spending money on a project,
- 25:42Speaker 1: it's it's to get a return. It wouldn't just be
- 25:45Speaker 1: to like fake the funk type of thing.
- 25:47Speaker 2: And you even see it throughout like the whole industry,
- 25:49Speaker 2: like at all different levels like podcasts, you know, artists, comedians, whoever,
- 25:57Speaker 2: whoever it is, they're not they doing these big budget
- 26:01Speaker 2: things like they was before, you know, traveling with a
- 26:03Speaker 2: whole crew and doing this and doing that. Like that's
- 26:07Speaker 2: not the error right now, you know what I'm saying.
- 26:09Speaker 2: It's like you just got to kind of figure out
- 26:11Speaker 2: what you can do where you can like sustain it
- 26:13Speaker 2: and keep it up and it's like something dope and
- 26:16Speaker 2: just keep being consistent with it as opposed to like
- 26:19Speaker 2: trying to do too much and then you can't do
- 26:22Speaker 2: it as frequently because it's taking too much to do
- 26:25Speaker 2: it each time, you know what I mean.
- 26:26Speaker 1: It's a lot of wasted energy too. I feel like
- 26:29Speaker 1: we're in the era now as well, where it is
- 26:32Speaker 1: like this, like this room, like you have your studio space,
- 26:35Speaker 1: everyone's almost like in their little pods. It's almost like
- 26:38Speaker 1: everyone is like online gaming. But you're like, yeah, if
- 26:43Speaker 1: that makes sense, I know what you mean. Not to
- 26:45Speaker 1: take it full circle, but it's like, yeah, everybody's just like, hey,
- 26:48Speaker 1: I'm doing my thing over here, cause like there's just
- 26:51Speaker 1: so much time wasting and like you can't force someone
- 26:54Speaker 1: to collab, you know what I mean, Like I'll pull
- 26:56Speaker 1: up here all day because I know you're gonna like work,
- 26:59Speaker 1: but there's so much like fake work out there. Nah exactly.
- 27:02Speaker 1: So I feel like a lot of artists and creatives
- 27:04Speaker 1: are like almost like just isolated.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Yeah, now that's that's on point, because that's specifically why,
- 27:12Speaker 2: like even before this I had my you know, you've
- 27:14Speaker 2: been to the studio at my house, like same reason,
- 27:16Speaker 2: Like you try to work with this person, work with
- 27:19Speaker 2: that person, try to build something, and they're not they're
- 27:21Speaker 2: not thinking about it the same way you are. They're
- 27:23Speaker 2: not taking it as serious, you know what I'm saying,
- 27:25Speaker 2: even even when money's involved, because like people always say, well,
- 27:28Speaker 2: you got to pay, It's like it don't always work
- 27:30Speaker 2: like that. It's like you said, even paying, somebody might
- 27:33Speaker 2: not want to work with you, so they might still
- 27:35Speaker 2: like jerk you around if they already got other stuff
- 27:38Speaker 2: going on. Yeah, for sure, whatever the case is, or
- 27:41Speaker 2: you just got to figure out how it works for you.
- 27:43Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, it's got to align like I almost
- 27:47Speaker 1: I want to say perfectly now, but yeah, it's just people.
- 27:51Speaker 1: It basically comes down to like who wants to work
- 27:53Speaker 1: and who doesn't. Yeah, for sure. So and a lot
- 27:56Speaker 1: of times, like that's the most frustrating thing too. And
- 27:59Speaker 1: when you have this vision and the like no one
- 28:01Speaker 1: really sees it, but then you're like, oh, it is
- 28:04Speaker 1: my vision, so it's like, yeah, you don't you can't
- 28:06Speaker 1: expect other people to see it. So I feel like
- 28:08Speaker 1: that's why a lot of people are just di I
- 28:11Speaker 1: y in it, because it's like I'm just gonna do
- 28:13Speaker 1: my thing, and it's almost nice to be like I
- 28:17Speaker 1: was praying for, like no distractions in like isolation the like,
- 28:22Speaker 1: and then I got it because I was just I
- 28:24Speaker 1: had like a spot new Samerna, and I was just like, Bro,
- 28:27Speaker 1: this ship is lonely, but it's the only way to
- 28:30Speaker 1: like get anything done if you're just gonna do it. Yeah.
- 28:35Speaker 1: I feel that because then you have no like you're like,
- 28:37Speaker 1: you're not worried about any outside opinions because you're by yourself.
- 28:41Speaker 1: You're not worried about, you know, your output, because it's
- 28:45Speaker 1: like all you're focused on. So yeah, bro, just gotta
- 28:51Speaker 1: gotta keep making it happen, man, not facts, but you
- 28:54Speaker 1: got it here. This this is a dope spot man. Yeah.
- 28:57Speaker 2: Man, if you're free next week, I'm gonna have a
- 29:00Speaker 2: pull up on Friday. So I definitely want to do something.
- 29:03Speaker 1: With both of y'all. A yo, that would be super dope.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, I would love to just keep doing
- 29:08Speaker 1: this man. Like I've had solo podcasts, but it got
- 29:12Speaker 1: to be too much. I probably bring one back now
- 29:14Speaker 1: that I have time to edit. Yeah, but yeah, when
- 29:16Speaker 1: you're that's the other thing about being like solo is
- 29:19Speaker 1: like writer, director, producer, editor, lighting guy. Bro, I never
- 29:23Speaker 1: thought i'd be playing with sound like trying to fix audio. Yeah, facts,
- 29:27Speaker 1: I'm like, what am I doing? Bro? That's like one
- 29:29Speaker 1: of them new things now.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Like back in the day, you could just be good
- 29:32Speaker 2: at one thing and have other people handle the other stuff.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Now it's like you got to know everything. You gotta Yeah,
- 29:37Speaker 1: you gotta be everything. You gotta be the geek squad.
- 29:40Speaker 1: You gotta huddle yourself up and then drop back and
- 29:43Speaker 1: throw it to yourself facts and then tackle yourself. Bro.
- 29:48Speaker 1: It is insane, Bro, and then dumb gator right on yourself. Yeah.
- 29:53Speaker 2: But yeah, man, you got anything you want to leave
- 29:56Speaker 2: the people with before we get off?
- 30:00Speaker 1: Not really, man, I've been kind of like in this
- 30:01Speaker 1: zen mode.
- 30:04Speaker 2: Matter of fact, I will say this. The last conversation
- 30:07Speaker 2: we had, you were talking about the YouTube and stuff
- 30:10Speaker 2: and like focusing on that, And after you said that,
- 30:13Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, you know what, I'm like neglecting my YouTube.
- 30:15Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
- 30:16Speaker 2: So I've been just uploading more videos and stuff, being
- 30:19Speaker 2: more active on there.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Bro.
- 30:20Speaker 2: In the last like month or so, I've gotten like
- 30:23Speaker 2: a thousand more subscribers just by you know, posting more
- 30:26Speaker 2: content on there, posting the videos more, doing ads. Like
- 30:30Speaker 2: it's like jumping and like it's doing so well, and
- 30:33Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, this whole time, I've just been sleeping
- 30:35Speaker 2: on this like a.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Whole lane where like it works, you know what I mean.
- 30:39Speaker 2: And I was just like putting it to the side,
