  Speaker 2: New York Knicks.

  Speaker 4: He got his character name.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Is he good?
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, his character name is Diz in the film. So

• 6:30
  Speaker 3: But he's a hooper?

  Speaker 3: Wow.

  Speaker 2: And you're getting married?
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: In the film.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: In the film. Yeah, make sure you hit the clarifier.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: In the film.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: In the film, yeah. And I got the Accused Me
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: video out right now. That's my new video that I
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: just shot with V-Pace. We shot that in L.A., so
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: that's going crazy, too.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Is that based on a true story?
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: A lot of it is, man. A lot of it is.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: A lot of it is just like, our perspective from
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the male side. So even if I had to sprinkle
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: a little sauce on it, it's still like things that
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: happened in my life.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Because I heard the lyrics.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: You already know. You know me. Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: So you already know what's up.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah. What?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, fuck.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: Roy is so petty.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: He like that shit.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Roy is so petty.
• 7:18
  Speaker 6: Now, we have a question from our guest host, Kayla,
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: who's in from time to time. She wanted me to
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: ask you this specifically. She said, you welcomed your first child.
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: in front of the whole world.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: In the midst of controversy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: How did you navigate that time period and were you
• 7:35
  Speaker 6: able to find peace mentally? Well, honestly, Kayla, I feel
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: like I'm always up against stuff.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? Always. With my son, I
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: was able to block out the noise because everything that
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: people thought was going on on the outside wasn't happening
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: on the inside. You know, for example, when people thought
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: my son wasn't going to have my last name and
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: they thought Like, it was something going on like that
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: when they was like, because they was like, Jacque's only
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: married because he, well, only wanted to propose so he
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: can get his last name. It was like, no, that
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: was never, that was a big misconception. You know, that was,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: he was always going to have my last name. Our
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: big fight was she didn't want him to be a junior.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: So I remember the internet went crazy. Like, oh, he
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: only married yet? No, he was always going to have
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: my last name. So I was just able to stay
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: cool because I knew, like I said, what was really
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: happening on the inside. So I didn't let outside noise
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: or that stuff get to me at all, and I
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: still don't.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I feel like you're a social media vet.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. At this point.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: You understand trolls.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Trolling and things like that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: I've always have.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: I just feel like now I'm more mature with it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: So I don't respond how I would. Because even in
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: my years of knowing trolling and different stuff, I would
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: still kind of respond to it in a way that
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: may have looked like I care about it. You know
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying? But in reality, I don't. Like now,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: like I said, I just seen the little mermaid joint.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I retweeted it. You know what I'm saying?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: You think that mermaid look like you?
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: I mean, of course, off the top, if you just look,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: you down and probably be like, what that queen?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: Just because the swag.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: Like, we blur our eyes.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: AI, bro. That's AI.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: It's just like, oh, that was AI?
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I think so.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: Like, if you look at it for real, I don't
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: think it just look like me.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Nah, it don't look like you.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: But I think if we squint our eyes, it's like, oh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: that might be bro.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Bro, no way. This is A.I.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Nah, that's probably real. That is not real.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: That's real, bro.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: That's not real.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: That's not nobody in there, bro.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: That's not real, bro. That's A.I., bro.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: That's A.I. Oh, yeah, that's A.I.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: That's A.I. But I think they was really trying to
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: make me, though, wasn't he?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Gotta be, because who else look like that?
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: You know what?
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Somebody from Jamaica.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: First of all, you're not going to see a merman
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: with dreads, with chains on.
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Nah.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: And there's two Caucasian kids watching.
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's AI.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: That's AI.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: But you know what? I wonder, I was like, man,
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I always, something always go viral around the time I'm
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: dropping music or something like that.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Well, you're just, you're back active in the algorithm. Yeah. Okay.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: So now they just like, let's.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're quiet.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: That's one thing that I realized is when it gets
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: loud on the internet, you get real quiet.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, I can let the internet speak. I mean,

  Speaker 4: right now, there's a lot going on right now. I'm
• 10:18

• 10:37
  Speaker 6: have something going on.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Facts.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: You know, that you can't discuss at the time.
• 10:41

  Speaker 6: 10 plus years.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Facts.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, bro. So, this is the most cool, calm, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: collective I've seen you.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: A lot of people have been saying that.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: You seem very, like, even-tempered.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: It is what it is now.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: I know what you're saying.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: You know what it is?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: You put that drink down.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, I still sip a little bit.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: No, but you went sober.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: You had a whole sobriety journey where you was really like, nah, bro,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I really don't drink.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: And I used to be like, we went out. Yeah,
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you're done?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, I just don't want to drink no more.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: I'm like, you can't be done. You're done.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: So what did you find instead to do?
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Work out.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: You feel me?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: That's important, bro. You got to find something, another vice, because.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: I just went to working out, and then I liked
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: it how I started looking. So I'm like, oh, I
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: can't go backwards. You know what I'm saying?
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Even in the midst of me, like, if I have
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: a drink or something now, it's like, I'm going to
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: make sure the next day or something, like, we work
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: out or try to get something in or to shake
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: it off. You know what I'm saying? So I think
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I just.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Learned so much, bro, because when I was doing the
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: heavy drinking and moving around like that.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: I wasn't as happy as I am now. I would be, like,
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: happy in moments. But in reality, it's like, you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: you're doing all that. You're trying to escape something. I
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: don't even know, like, what feeling I was trying to escape.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: But I'm glad that I defeated it, whatever it was.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: In our industry, it's offered to us.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: It's literally in front of our face. So it's like, here.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: That's when I knew I was strong, too, because I'm like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I'm still going to go everywhere that I go and
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: just see if I can do it. Like, that's when
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: I'm going to see if I'm really strong-minded. You know
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying? So I would tell them, no, still
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: bring the bottles to the section. Like, still have the
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: liquor in the dressing room. You know what I'm saying?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Still bring it wherever. Because I wanted to test myself,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: and I did it. I knew I was good when
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: I didn't drink on my 30th birthday. You know, that's
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: when I was like, dang, I ain't even get lit
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: on my 30th. But that was two years ago.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: How's your diet?
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: My diet is lit. I mean, now, I ain't going
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: to lie. I just left Chicago. That's the first.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Food out there, five.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Man, five.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I ate out that motherfucker. I ain't even going to lie.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Chicago, New Orleans, bro.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: Man, I ate. But on the norm, though, I don't
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: drink none. I drink like zero sugar, everything.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Okay. I'm just getting on that kick.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I drink zero sugar, everything. I try to eat
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: like every week when I'm at the crib, I'm eating
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: fish probably like two, three times out of the week, salmon.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: And then I go. Lately, I've been buying these little
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: cheese sticks. Like back in the day, I might go
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: cheese sticks and fruit. in the morning or something like that, eggs.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: I try to just, I try to really eat the
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: same thing, turkey, bacon. I like regular bacon still, too.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: I eat grits.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Grits probably be the heaviest, like, starch that I'm sticking with,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying? But besides that, I try
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to eat clean. I hate eating salads, but I force
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: myself to.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I love salads, bro.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: It depends.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Like, I mean, now that I'm trying to eat healthy, like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: so now I might have a salad. This is one
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: salad I like. It got, like, apples in it, pecans,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: all that type of stuff. But I don't even know
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: the name.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Of it, but.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: I try to.

  Speaker 2: It's a name for it.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: It is a name. I be eating sardines and stuff.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I just try to like... I be trying to keep
• 13:48

• 19:28
  Speaker 4: Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if I was
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: to hit OG up for something, because I never would.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: I remember back in the day when I was doing, like,
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: the Land of the Free. This was before Snow was
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: even born.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: I remember I was asking him, like, bro, I can
• 19:37

  Speaker 6: That's where I've been going, bro, because I need to

  Speaker 1: No, you 100% right. You 100% right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Know how we feel like, well, I know that nigga.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: We smoke the blunt last night.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: And don't we hate that? Like, man, nigga, you don't
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: know who you pull up.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's the city, though. I think we were
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: one of a kind.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Atlanta's one of a kind.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: That's why you have to.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: That's why, honestly, to me, to stay at the top
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: of your game.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: In the city, I feel like you can't be seen
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: a lot. I agree with that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: You got to go Batman.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: I agree with that.
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: Niggas don't see Queen in the city. You don't see
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: Future in the city.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? You don't see certain niggas
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: in the city. I agree with that. It keeps you
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: big to me.
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: Because everybody, once you make yourself so personable, It's like
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: people lose the illusion of the star.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: They start thinking y'all on the same level. It's like, damn,
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: how the hell?
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: You know, that's what happened with streaming. Streaming made artists
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: more normal.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: You think so?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: I 100% think so.
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: You've been on this for a minute.
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: You think so?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Talk to me.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Well, the reason why I say streaming make artists more normal,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: because now if you look at streamers, streamers think that
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: they're bigger than the artists.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: It's true.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Nobody on radio or podcast think that we're bigger than
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: the artists.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: True, true.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: And also what streaming does is it kind of steals
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the artist's fans to watch somebody else for free.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: That's more relatable.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: I think streaming is good, though. You know why?
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 25:41
  Speaker 5: For artists.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, besides the fact of streamers, however they feel, whatever, whatever.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like from day one, me as
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: an artist, like my team and stuff like that, and
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: just different artists, too. You remember Ustream back in the day?
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I remember Ustream. You would do all that and stuff
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: like that. It wasn't as live, like, moving around with
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: the camera. Remember, we used to have to sit in
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: one spot, but you still type to the people. I
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: feel like it's the same thing now on Ice. Like,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: doing that back then was a way to let the
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: fans in. I remember I used to do it at
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Jumbo House all the time. You know what I'm saying?
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Sitting in his mom's kitchen back in the day, like,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: sitting there doing your stream, talking to my fans. And
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: then we started vlogging.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: Doing the vlogs, and people still vlog today now. I
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: think streaming is good because it gives fans an insight
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: just like a vlog or something, but it's in real time.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But you can do that on Instagram Live.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: You can, but you can't.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: So streaming is good then.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Well, what I'm saying is that, first of all, the stream.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: You don't like it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: It's not that I don't like it. I don't like
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the fact that we got... Streamers feel like they bigger
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: than artists.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: That's just what you don't like.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: I feel you. I don't like that because it's like.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: I don't like that either.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take talent to stream.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: Exactly.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Like, bro, I can.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Get on camera right now and we can go eat
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: at McDonald's and I can say I'm streaming live with
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Jacquees while we eat McDonald's.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Nigga, I'm just talking.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Facts.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: And we ain't against streamers. We see y'all getting y'all money. No,
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: we're not.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Against that because I actually love the stream that you
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: did with... Jordan.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, you talking about A.D.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: And Dean?
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: And Dean, them my niggas, yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Now, that's the type of streams that I like to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: see because I can tell it's organic.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I can tell IDs are your friends, but when it's
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: set up and you streaming with a random person and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: y'all don't know each other.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: You're like, this shit dumb.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, why y'all doing this? Bro, go stream with
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: your partners.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: But you know why? It's because, like you said earlier,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: the streamers have built their own community now.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: But y'all already famous.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Facts. Hold on. We famous, but I must say this.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: But that streaming youth crowd, they buy shit. You see
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: You know that's the new crowd, too.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Like, they buy shit.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: They can't buy tickets.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: They can buy CDs. And they can buy tickets.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: They can't buy tickets.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: It's concert tickets.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: No. People that watch streams are like.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: People that watch streams are 18 and under.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: But I'm saying, no, no. They still gifted, niggas, though.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: If you was a streamer, I heard of something called gifted.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: That's like a dollar. Two dollars, three dollars. Five dollars.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I'm saying, but I mean, I ain't going to lie. Streaming,
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: like I said, I just think it gets the artists
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: of today, the younger generation. I think it lets the
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: fans in to see a different side of the artist.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: But I don't think that streamers should feel like they're
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: as powerful as an artist.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: But that's the artist, that's y'all giving away y'all superpowers.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I ain't gave mine away yet.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I know that, but what I'm saying is, the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: reason why I'm like, why do streamers think that they
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: bigger than artists?
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: It's because artists are starting to lean on them.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: So once a nigga know you leaning on them, they like, oh,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: this nigga need me.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Because labels are telling niggas, this gotta bring your press run.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Then nigga, go on Instagram Live or create your own stream.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: Why stream it in a press run?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: He ain't with that shit. Yeah, he just ain't with it.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: It is a form of marketing. Some people do like it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Bruh.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: You already famous.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: John Boy in the back shaking his head like.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: You see Kai? That nigga turned. Yeah, Kai turned. He different.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying is.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: We're talking about five people out of 10,000 people.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Kai is really an entertainer though with that streaming shit.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: You're not going to convince him. I've already tried.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Jordan Lucas. That's my dog.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: Shout out Jordan. No, but there are certain people that
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: I like.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: What I'm saying is the part of the streaming that
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I don't like is you can see people like Jordan, Kai,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: all these people that's like, bro, they genuinely having fun.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: These people really like.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Like Speed and all them.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah. And then you get some streamers that I'm like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: I can see clips. I'm like, so really, you think
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: you bigger than the nigga you interviewing? So really, it's like,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: shout out.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: But he's also seeing the cap.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing the cap.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of people are clout.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: A lot of people are clout streaming.
