Hey man, where the fuck is Mario Judah?
Never again will I fall for your lies
Never again will I cry because you're shy Never again will I fall for your lies Never again will I cry these years dry
Never again will I look in your eyes Never again I have said my goodbyes
Never again will I fall for your lies Never again will I cry these years dry
Never again will I look in your eyes Never again I have said my goodbyes. I tried so hard to make you die. I walked
extra miles every day. Gave you my love in every way. And now I'm left with tears to
sigh. My heart is shattered like the rat. My trust is broken like a chime The memories linger in vain
But I guess I'm the one blind
Never again will I fall for your lies
Never again will I fall for your lies Never again will I cry these are shy
Never again will I look in your eyes Never again I have said my goodbyes
Never again will I fall for your lies Never again will I cry these are shy
Never again will I look in your eyes Never again I have said my goodbyes
Hey man, where the fuck is Mario Judah? Music Make me judge him in a way that he can't stand when I know it's in love.
The wisdom to the left is blood, the cover head.
I can't go stand by him, but I can't stand.
I can't feel a backdrop between the end and the sun is in heaven. I'm not going to die. Music Music Music

My feet's broken, I know you're okay
You've got a shame for me, I'm just gonna say
I've made a few men, I'm not really scared
So once you get home, let them all disappear
But I'm not sure, yeah, I used to stay at home, I guess I was on the ground. It must come, and I don't know
You can live forever in the day
You can live forever in the day You can live forever in the day Oh, my God. I'm a little girl, I'm a little girl, I'm a little girl, I'm a little girl, I'm a little girl. hello hello mic check mic check what's going on fam welcome back to the episode of waking
big radio you already know the vibes episode 153 got the fam up here as always smoky mad
pot's not here he's taking care of the little the new you. Marcus the Goat
not here. He's taking care of the fam.
Send prayers out to both of them.
And yeah, we got Big
Rom that's called stuff. What's good,
Jonathan? What's good, Icy? Elmi, I see
you in my Jeep. What's going on
GM, GM, GM?
Nothing much, man.
Just chilling, sitting in the
backyard in the grass with the uh beautiful smell
of flowers and nature and smoking a cigar on my batman blanket you know it's uh it's a good
saturday so i ain't got no complaints hey it really is bro i woke up and i was like fuck it
like let's have some fun today you know what i mean um what's it called do you have a green
thumb yourself gang or what like are the flowers just naturally there?
Nah, they just naturally there. But, um, cause in North Carolina, like it's the one place that I know of that you could be dead in the city and be in the woods as well. So, I mean, I'm technically in the city, but there's woods all back here everywhere. So it's, they just naturally grow like that. It's just very peaceful back here.
You know, I've seen rabbits back here
and possums and different species of birds.
I even seen a beaver that seems to go
and steal the wood out of the abandoned house next door.
Like it owns the property or something.
It's quite a crazy time over here, man.
Yeah, I hear that, bro that bro well still enjoy your smoke
enjoy your cigar out in nature i feel like you know we talked about a lot on the show i feel
like being out in nature just fucking good for the mental even if it's a walk even if it's just
chilling out there it's just it does wonders man so make sure you take that time to get out there
that's something i'd be struggling with but um i don't
know what do you guys think i feel like even the little commute that i do to work and back like
i feel like that's a blessing in disguise because i'm forced to go outside a little bit you know
they say intention man my bad my bad icy i was just gonna say they usually say it's intention
and and what is your intent on on on what you're doing? Even you going outside, if you go, if you were out there one day and you, I don't know, like you feel like almost a floaty feeling or you feel like an overall calm, you just stepped into what they call a flow state.
They call a flow state and anybody can fall into that state no matter what they're doing.
It's just the you have to be conscious enough to know that you fell into it.
On those days, you feel like everything just seemed to flow very, very well.
And you don't understand it. You feel great, but you're not overthinking.
You just feel at peace, like at one with everything. That's a flow state.
And if you can be conscious enough to know that you're in it it you'll it'll be easier for you to fall back into it so it doesn't it doesn't matter what you're
doing bro it's funny you say that because so i always feel like i fall into flow states when
i'm gaming like and uh especially like at the most competitive ones um apex and call of duty
i feel like there's just like a elevated sense of like fucking like craziness that I'm going into. And like, I'll feel how excellent I'm doing. And I am conscious
of it. But once I become too conscious of it, like someone will say like, yo, Rob, you're going crazy.
And I'll look at my kills and see like, yo, 40, you know, and I'm like, damn, like,
now I'm kind of pulled out of it. You know what I mean? It's like, you pulled me out of
me being so focused. And I can't get that back until next game. And then another thing was this week. So Wednesday,
I've been getting this entire week. I've been getting off early from work because I worked
with the school system and, you know, kids were out for spring break. So, um, I was getting off
like around tuition shit. So Wednesday I had the chance to have like a little drink.
And I figured that might fuck me up for Thursday.
But it's cool because I'm going to have a light day anyway.
I woke up the next day, the least amount of sleep all week.
The best mood, like the most energized.
I got right up, got right to fucking work.
Super alert.
And like you said, that must have just been like some kind of flow state or just like some elevated mind state that I was in for that morning.
You needed it, though. That's the that's the thing. That's what I was telling you before that I stopped smoking for a period of time.
This may sound crazy to some people, but people to come to my space and know me, you know, this ain't crazy.
I was told by my guys to stop smoking and they were going to tell me when I could and when I could drink.
And those times that I smoked again or I drank again, I had an epiphany or like I almost unlocked something
in my, in my psyche or whatever. So, um, it's not doing things like that, that are the problem.
It's when people do it so much that you, it can be used to to give you some like browed brighter uh outlook on life
because i mean you probably ain't drank in a while right of course not i mean fucking super
scarcely brother i do i barely do anything besides fucking smoke a cig and i don't even do that during
the week i like that's another thing like most people don't know about me. I had to stop the smoking, as you all know.
But I don't even smoke cigs during the week.
I just do it on the weekends when I want to unwind, kind of like you with the cigars.
That's actually so crazy that you're able to do it only on the weekends.
That's so rare.
Why do you say that?
It's like a mental thing.
Most people get addicted, right? Well, I i mean i just know like my sister for example she smoked cigarettes for
a while but she like mostly in her like not like early adulthood like a lot of people like they
start when they're young and then you know it's hard to quit but she has quit many times but she's
like i'm just gonna do it socially and then you know it's like, I'm just going to do it socially. And then, you know, it's just like, well, dang, now I'm craving it.
And now I'm addicted.
And now I like I need it type thing.
So like cigarettes, like I've not heard it because, you know, like you could get like a nicotine free vape.
Like that's different because you're just fulfilling like the oral fixation.
Yes.
But for you to like only do it on the weekends like that's you know not impressive impressive
but that's like impressive in a way of like I've never heard of people successfully doing that
no yeah I feel you like it's still not good for me like obviously but like you said I think there
is like a higher level of um not self-control but like avoiding the addiction in me because
like I also stopped the smoking cold turkey like I'm I'm able to do like a lot of that shit like control myself and that's also a reason why
on most social nights when I'm out like drinking or doing whatever with my friends I'll never allow
myself to get to that next level where I'm like fucking blackout because I don't know I guess I
just I I don't know I it's just a... That's self-control. It is.
Because, I mean, even if, like, you can be... What's this sticker?
It's a Minecraft sticker.
You could be addicted for 20 years, and it's the same...
I mean, obviously, it's a little different when you've been doing it for that long, but it's the same thing.
It's an addiction.
And you, if you can control, not control an addiction.
Let me not sound crazy, but if you can control, not control an addiction, let me not sound crazy, but if you can control like your urges, that's self-control, baby.
Because a lot of people are the same way with alcohol.
This is why I'm just like not drinking anymore because I drink for that, you know, that light, like that in-between feeling, like a couple glasses of wine, that little buzz.
But I know that I'm just going to have a headache.
And two, I'm either going to... If I don't feel it, I'm going to drink too much and then I'm gone.
And it was not worth it.
Yes.
Toxic in my body.
You're talking about white girl wasted?
You don't want to get white girl wasted.
Exactly.
And I don't like to be drunk, to be honest with you.
I like to be buzzed, but like kind of like a cigar.
Like I just want a little buzz. I'm not going to smoke a cigar because I just, it's not my thing.
But like, you know, like a little, like, you know, a little vibe, but I don't think it's worth it anymore.
That's why I was just like, you know what? I'm just not going to drink because if i tell myself you don't drink for the reason of you felt like this
because of this you know like i'll remember oh yeah i don't actually want a glass of wine because
it's not it's not it i will say icy if you ever get back into wine if you get headaches from
drinking wine like i do um when i started
drinking organic wines are wines that may cost a little bit more but they're actually from the
place that creates wines like in italy and stuff i've been educated on that enough going to these
wine tastings that they uh usually don't cause you to have headaches it's the things they use
to age them yeah i wouldn't mind that i used to to live in Lodi, California, and that was like a wine place.
But no, I think just any type of alcohol.
If it's like a lower percentage of alcohol, I might start with that at some point.
But I think just alcohol in general, it's just – because I used to drink a lot, like a lot,
like I used to like host clubs and, you know, I was out six days a week in like the nightlife and
this day life and the parties and the day drinking and the hosting and all that crap. And so I would
drink a lot, but it never bothered me. I was young and like,
I know I'm still young, but, and then when I stopped drinking, just to stop drinking and
started, not started again, but like I would have a drink every once in a while. I was like, nope,
I, my body just at this point knows that I shouldn't be drinking alcohol. It's just like
my body rejects it a little bit. Um, not in a way where I take one sip and I'm vomiting, but like I will get an instant headache because my body just doesn't need alcohol.
I think a lot of us don't need it.
But, you know, it's fun every once in a while.
You might be right.
You might be right.
The body will tell you what you do need and what you need to let go.
That is that is definitely a fact.
I'll be honest with you.
I'll drink for enough for me and for you, Ice, because I like my alcohol. I like my bourbon. I like my cigars. I like my moonshine.
Like, I like my shit. I don't drink every day. You know what's good, though? When you have your
like drink of choice and you know that like that's your drink. Like for me,
I do like cognacs and like whiskey. So like if I'm going to drink and I'm going to have like
a light, you know, like not that that's going to be a light drink, but like a little bit of drink,
not going to like drink to get fucked up. That's what I, that's what I'm going to have. Like I'm
going to just sit back, have a little, you know, but for now I don't need it yeah yeah it's a little it's a little sipper i like a
little sipper when i when i smoke cigars um and i may do it on the rocks but i like old fashions
and you know different things like that but granted i come from a long line of drinkers and
yes i see i did what you did when i was a lot younger i partied hard as fuck like when people
were going to school i was traveling the country partying with people so um it was it was a time but i've i've learned how to really properly drink from
elderly people around me so i can drink and not get drunk um you know you must not be around the
elderly people around me my grandma and her pinot grigio oh it's over she's she's like i only
brought a big bottle just it's for me but if anyone wants some and then she's like where'd the
bottle go no mine mine mine has it has it out but my grandma has to have either her she'll either
have a beer or like a wine like every single's just, if she stops, she could possibly die because she's been doing that her whole life.
So we just let her do her thing. But, um, me personally,
I'm,
I've become a connoisseur of many things as far as like cigars and pulling out
notes out of cigars, wine,
learning more about wine and how to pull notes out of that,
pulling the notes out of, uh, liquors and,
and different things of that nature. I've gotten a lot better at that. Instead of just drinking
something to drink it, I drink it to taste the how they made it, like what's in it. Or am I
pulling these notes out of it? So it's become more of a, of an art to me. Um, and a skill is,
is what I'm, I'm, I'm learning because telling y'all, man, I've literally been watching Moonshiners for 14 years since the first episode.
I've learned a lot about alcohol and how it's made to different people that's made it over the years, like even around the world.
And it just made me fascinated with it.
So I started wanting to taste all that stuff.
That's really what I do this for.
Even the cigars.
I used to just smoke cigars just to smoke them.
But now I'm at a level where I'm learning from other people that have been doing this longer than me.
I'm learning it as a skill of how to pull notes out of stuff, how it smells, the cigar smells, how it smells when you first light it, when you toast the cigar.
So it's a so i it's a
i guess it's an experience you know i mean it really is dude like i'm even learning like when
i want to taste a cigar to like test it to see what's in it the best times for me to do that is
in the morning um with water and i was trained i've been taught by somebody else to teach me
these things because i didn't know that you know i had no idea so um
i i don't really do it to get drunk but icy to your point i know my bourbon very well as well
as bullet uh which is like 90 proof i know how many drinks of that i can drink for me to feel
good and i know how many drinks i drink before i let the j asshole out. So, um, I keep it way under the Joker asshole
because once he comes out, he's out. I can't put him back. I just have to apologize for what I did
the next day. And I don't, I don't like doing that at my age now. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like
for me, I would need half a shot of that 90 proof because no way oh no i can drink nine doubles before the joker
comes out nine doubles that's not 18 but you sound like an old man which is you know like
your cigars and your and you're like 90 proof and just you know kick back relax taste the notes of the wine and you just sound a lot older
Than you really are old soul icy
I've always been what they called a young old nigga. They have always called me that since I was really really young and
It turns out the men in my family are like that my nephews the same way he acts older than I do
He he's just about to turn 30 and he acts like he's 65.
He don't like no new movies.
He likes black and white movies.
He likes movies so old that you can see the strings on the back.
He was excited to find a VHS tape that he's been looking for for a long time.
So we just got a lot of old souls, and it seems to be the younger the children are,
the older the souls
of the people that's coming out because of how they act. Because even my niece, who's 12 years
old, she acts like my grandma. I almost feel like my grandma has already pre-reincarnated
into my niece because they act exactly alike. They make the same faces, the same mannerisms,
like everything. And my belief is, is that your spirit of soul, you could be in many different places at one time because time was invented by man.
It wasn't invented by, you know, the higher being.
So it really doesn't matter.
But I tell you, I've told her that you have reincarnated into your grandbaby and you don't even know it because she acts exactly like her.
Yo, I believe that Coke's cousin had passed away while I was pregnant with Eli, and so his middle name is his cousin's name.
And now he's the only boy that has been born of this generation with the same last name.
like of this generation with the same last name and I just remember before and I'm not trying to
make this make this all sentimental and shit but it's a beautiful freaking Saturday afternoon I'm
trying to keep the energy up but last thing I remember his cousin saying to me because I grew
up with his cousin and or his cousins um was hey take care of him for me. And I was like, okay, you know, like thinking nothing of it.
And then the next thing he's gone.
And now my son is like the next version of him almost.
It's crazy.
That's why I like it.
And that's why you know I love to talk about this kind of stuff.
Me and Jonathan will take over this whole space.
How about life? Those are are beautiful sentiments you know it's definitely not bringing down the vibe i personally love hearing shit like that but um just just to like not harp
on it but back to like the vices thing that's low-key like why i mentioned like the vape so
much is i'm never gonna allow myself to to be put in a position where I can take advantage of the vices too much and smoke every day with the vapes and all that shit.
So it's just, like you said, balancing all that out.
Another thing is obviously the sugar, which I'm a big supporter of avoiding sugar as a whole because that's another thing you get addicted to.
McDonald's, you'll get addicted to the chemicals they put in there the msg they put chinese food all that stuff you
just got to be able to control whatever it is that you decide you want to have fun with so
yeah i had to quit i really think you're sugar i'm heavily highly and will always be addicted to
sugar so i'm actually counting micros now um while i'm on like a little bit of a postpartum weight loss journey.
But the main thing is I want to just be in control of myself.
Like I've quit the vaping and the smoking and the everything.
I'm not drinking alcohol.
I'm now knowing that food is a drug.
so I'm trying to cut that shit saturated fats sugar um and also just like ingredients like
So I'm trying to cut that shit.
whole foods whole grains like real foods and like not me daydreaming earlier about
could I maybe put a little little box on the porch thing and or the deck and maybe plant some
you know some fresh veggies and you know some herbs and not me over
here like getting a little bit too far but you know maybe maybe i will maybe i'll throw something
out there and see what i can grow out here do it it's the perfect time right now to start something
and it can grow very fast um when i used to help my home way back in oklahoma with uh the farmer's
markets which keep telling y'all it's something y'all need in Oklahoma with the farmer's markets, which I keep telling you,
it's something you need to jump into. The weather's going to be nice. Get your ass out there to your local farmer market. Talk to your meat guys. Talk to your farm guys. Talk to guys that you can see
what's in season, what's in your area. And you could probably get it a lot cheaper. Even if you
don't, it's going to be a lot better than the grocery store but um i also
started helping him with his gardening because he was so busy with everything he needed some help
and i had free time so i helped him you know uh get the weeds out of his beds plant all the seeds
and everything so i planted the seeds in like three beds that he had and i'm telling you man
in like a month's time or maybe a little bit longer, man, we got some good rain.
It was crazy to see that those little seeds I put in there grew into that massive amount of stuff.
We were eating on that shit all the way through winter.
It was so much that was growing that he couldn't give all of it away.
But I took a lot of it myself.
You know what I'm saying?
Peppers and different things like that.
But it's a fun thing to watch something grow because you're growing a child
and it literally is pretty much growing from a seed.
And then now it's outside of the world and you growing it even more.
So growing plants and stuff is really, really, it's fun and fulfilling.
is really, really
it's fun and fulfilling
and it almost feels like you just
grew a child, but out in
nature and not in your
belly per se.
It's a fun thing. I think you should definitely
give it a try. Even with your
herbs and stuff,
they got little things you could just stick in your
window and it'll grow right
there, right there inside the house. So you could just
pluck your stuff off right then and there and i'm also seeing now they have um they have mushroom
boxes that you could just you get the whole kit and everything that you need and you could sit it
up in your kitchen and like your different mushrooms will grow out of the side of the box
you just have to spray it like i think like every day or every other day. The instructions are on there, but
they make things so much
easier for us to be able to grow our own shit.
Even if you don't have
a yard at all, you can just have an apartment
and have a spare room.
They got towers now that you can put
and grow plants and stuff in.
There's just really no way to
live a healthier life with your own there's just really no way to to not to not live
a healthier life with your own
stuff and don't worry you guys
I am highly addicted to sugar
the men in my family that's a problem
we have
is being highly highly addicted to sugar
so that is definitely a fight
every fucking day
with Krispy Kreme donuts and all this other
shit. Does diabetes run into FEM as well?
Not like that.
I've had like only, I think like only two people had diabetes.
But the thing I found out that Alzheimer's and dementia that has hit both of my grandfathers,
the thing that I found that connects them is still sugar because my one grandfather might not have eaten a lot of sugar, but he drank a lot of alcohol, like a high amount of alcohol, which is made from sugar.
And then my other grandfather on my dad's side, he didn't drink at all because he was with the Nation of Islam.
He's Muslim.
He didn't drink at all.
But he did eat massive and massive amounts of sugar.
So I correlated the two i was like
at the end of the day sugar got them both they just got them in two different ways
yeah you got to think about what is like people will think about like
how do i explain this like bread as carb, but that's a sugar.
If you're eating everything white,
which a lot of people are,
anything that's bleach,
that is sugar.
It's white, it's sugar.
Like honestly,
it's either dyed that color
or it's bleached or it's sugar.
Like people don't know about,
people who don't know about like sugar in the raw
or like natural like honey like, sweeteners.
Like, come on now.
And you're going to get a weight.
And here I am talking about it while I have Starbucks in my freaking, for the one time, for the one time.
But I've been making my own coffee.
Like, I've been switching things up and, like, trying to do, like, more natural sweeteners.
Because there's times where I get, I don't know if I get low blood sugar I just get very like I can tell when my body needs sugar
and I'm like for so long I'm like well I'm having sugar no you're having bullshit and you need a
piece of like a freaking fruit like you need real and then again like we go to the grocery store and what are we buying? Processed freaking or not processed fruits that are sprayed down with chemicals. And then like I literally I went down this rabbit hole because I'm like just trying to do better for my kids and everything that like, you know, the fruits how they'll have like the number like bananas, for example, I think they're 4011. If it starts with that four, it is not an organic fruit.
I think the organic starts with a nine and they cost more.
So I'm like, you know what?
Now I'm going through the grocery store and I'm looking for the nines.
And there is a tiny section of nines in the banana section.
Everything else is the 4011.
And I literally have to search for organic.
And nobody else would know that. Like, you don't know that unless unless you look for it.
And it's sad. Like, I would just want to go to the organic section, get everything from there.
I'll pay the price like it is what it is, because then I'm not paying the price at the doctor's
office. I'd rather pay for my food or, you one of these days i'm gonna be making it myself
um then to be paying a doctor to to pretend to fix me and then go through the same cycle that's why
we're gonna have a farm one day um we're gonna have something i don't know lately i've been
looking at like i don't know i'm getting out of this seasonal depression it's it's very nice this
sun is out today like i, I'm feeling it.
And I just found a bunch of little farms around
because I just love to go out and drive just to get fresh air,
like just to leave this house, roll down the windows, get fresh air,
stop somewhere, touch some grass.
But I've been finding a bunch of, like spots where they have fresh eggs and they're everywhere.
And I'm like, people are standing in line trying to fight over eggs over here at the grocery store.
Little do they know, less than half a mile down the street, you've got a local who will probably sell it to you for half the price.
And it's all fresh eggs, like free roam, just chickens just living their lives naturally like people got to get
get with the times thank you thank you you proved my point because i've been saying that shit for
two months on any space i can that we talk start talking about this is check your local places man
like that like my friend who tag who passed that is the one thing he drilled in my head and he passed
like 15 years ago is keeping it local it is highly important because you're you're contributing to
your own ecosystem around you for one and you could learn so much if you get cool people to
talk to farmers and stuff you can learn so much information just by having a
conversation. You know what I'm saying? Um, mine was bees because I kept hearing about, you know,
the bees going down as far as population. So I talked to a local beekeeper at the farmer's market
and found out a lot of information. I found out that all the way to my house, this one guy had this huge area that his bees were covering.
And it turns out that the bees that were at my house were the bees that was from,
from actually from his house, from his hive.
So that to me was like really, really interesting.
So that's why I'm like, you got to keep it local and talk to your local people, man.
It's really, really important. That's why people now are buying chickens you know the one
thing i used to always see at rich houses back in oklahoma people living in these like gated
communities houses cost like three to five million dollars a piece you know what they all had in the
backyard a chicken coop i was given eggs as a tip at a period of time. And I wasn't saying no to,
free eggs that were just literally you got today.
And the cool thing that I found out about eggs that I didn't know is that you
could sit eggs out in a bowl on a table.
Yep.
Unrefrigerated.
You can't normally.
Yeah.
You can't normally do that because when the egg comes out,
it naturally gets coated from the chicken on the way out.
You just keep them dirty. You sit them on a bowl. And then when you want to cook them, you clean them.
But that's the reason why they tell you to put them in the refrigerator from the grocery stores,
because they've already took off the things that can really help.
And I'm going to be honest, I don't think that was going to be good eggs regardless, even if they didn't clean them.
I don't think that was going to be good eggs regardless, even if they didn't clean them.
I just think they, too much stress and too many chemicals in those chickens for them to produce anything really, really good.
So that part is definitely upsetting, but I do see a lot more people going back to being more natural.
Now, Icy, I do got one question for you.
Did your bananas, they're supposed to be organic.
Did they have seeds in
them or did they not have seeds um i guess i don't know okay so let me tell you this one
i found out that if if your bananas do not have seeds in them they're not real because bananas used to have seeds in them i knew you'd say yeah yeah
it's okay they they used to have seeds in them they they don't um and that's because they've
been genetically messed with i found out that about a lot of things like orange carrots were
genetically because coke yeah because coke the other day he was like he can't eat the he was like no you can't
eat the seed and i was like yes you can it's a great eat the great seed he's like i've never
seen a grape with a seed in it and i'm like well it's a fruit it's supposed to have seeds if it
doesn't have seeds it's not real it's not right exactly so it's it's an important thing. Like, yeah, I found out that I found out that carrots were genetically made.
The orange carrots, the colored ones that are purple and stuff, those are actually natural carrots, as well as like broccoli and cauliflower.
That was somebody made that as well. That wasn't that's not a natural thing that just naturally grows, which I found that out and that kind of blew my fucking mind too.
It's a rabbit hole for real.
I found a book.
Yeah, I found a book.
Well, I'm going to get it once I'm kind of set up with stuff to grow, at least herbs and veggies and fruit, just some stuff.
like herbs and veggies and fruit, like just like some, some stuff. But, um, there's this book that
seems like they would ban it like in this time of life, just cause you know how you find an
informational book that like has so many secrets of like natural health and they just all of a
sudden stop selling them. Um, but yeah, I one. And it's, like, natural medicine, medicine via vegetables and herbs, how to make a certain tea for how, like, symptoms you're having to avoid the food, this and that.
Like, so I'm, I don't even know why I haven't bought it yet because I could just see them taking it off shelves.
But, like, yeah, that's the way I want to live.
Like, I'm not, I'm low-key, secretly a city girl at heart.
But, like, now that I have kids, I just want to do everything natural.
I'm so sick of, like, growing up, you never think of that.
You're like, oh, that's fresh.
That's fresh.
Whatever it is, it's fresh.
It's good for me.
But, no, like, there's so many secrets that they keep that if you don't look for it, you're not going to find it on like this, this food that's fake.
And that's why they put it out there, because people are either not going to look for it or they make it so hard for you to find it or they change things up.
They used to say GMO on your on your boxes.
Now they changed it to bioengineered food.
So that's what you need to start looking for.
And most things in boxes are bioengineered.
They have some kind of chemical something in them that makes them.
I didn't know that petroleum was in so many things, so many foods that we eat,
which is another reason why oil is never going to go anywhere pretty much,
especially if you're using it in food to begin with.
It's wild.
I only use avocado oil.
And avocado oil is not cheap.
It's expensive to buy.
I think I paid like $15 for the huge bottle I got.
But the cool thing about it is that avocado oil has the highest burn tolerance.
is that avocado oil has the highest burn tolerance.
It's much higher than pretty much any oils you have in the house.
So it can take heat a lot more and a lot better than any oil you have in there.
So that's one reason I use it.
The other is the health benefits of it.
If you can afford it, avocado oil avocado oil is, is, is fantastic.
You know what I'm saying?
It's the only thing I use on my salads along with, um, mother's apple cider vinegar.
I don't use anything else as far as dressings.
Um, I'm just addicted to, to the, how it tastes also, but it's great for your good.
They have a avocado oil in like a spray version too.
That's what I use for like spraying pans before I cook and everything. it's an avocado oil but also careful with avocados because they're
high in saturated fats and my mom because of like history of her brothers and everybody in her
family having like heart issues she's like you know here i am thinking like avocados are healthy
which they are but they're so heavy in fats that you got to be careful, too.
If you if you have to watch your heart, that's something to watch.
I could I could definitely see that it is a big thing in the world of keto, though.
So, you know, some saturated fats may be bad for some people, but it may not be bad for others.
So at the end of the day, you still got to figure out what works for you because what works for you may not work for the next person. And, um,
I've been hooked on avocados. I eat them shits every day. Um, at least an entire avocado.
When I make my avocado toast that y'all be seeing, that's what it is. It's an entire avocado that I
make into a guac and then I put on top of my toast.
So, I mean, I'm not getting away from it.
I don't give a fuck about none of that.
The shit just tastes really, really good.
And I also put it in my salads every day.
So I probably eat like two avocados a day, to be honest.
But my skin looks great, though.
It looks fantastic.
Your fucking arteries look terrible.
Hey, I won't knock it, though.
If that's a egg, at least you're not eating a donut, two donuts a day.
I'm fucking, I'm just joking, because like I said prior, I was on the keto as well.
I still love them so much. And like basically pure protein all day, just jerky eggs, a lot of eggs and avocados as well as like anything else in that vein.
I would eat fucking mad avocados. I still love them so much.
And it's funny that you guys are mentioning this because I just got a dozen fresh eggs from my homie at work.
He told me he had a chicken coop way before this whole egg pandemic. And yeah,
he blessed me like a full dozen right before the spring break. And it's just so different. Like,
like you said, as well, Jonathan, you can keep them out on the counter. You can just let them
chill there. It's not like them fucking, I don't know what's different about it. It may be the
stress, but it just feels better eating those than what i'm getting at the supermarket i'm not gonna lie bro i get sick i get sick from um from grocery store
eggs it doesn't even matter if it says organic and i asked the egg guy in oklahoma at the time
why is it that you know that i get nauseous from those and i don't get nauseous from your eggs
and he was like well they put so much stress
and chemicals in those chickens he's like those eggs don't even come out yellow the yolks don't
a lot of times he's like they inject dyes in those yolks to make them look yellow and I was like
that's probably what I'm reacting to is the dyes they put in it to get the yolks to look yellow
because I mean I will throw up throw up eating them damn eggs.
But eating, you know, knowing the difference between a store egg and a real farm egg,
the farm egg is much meatier.
It's a meaty egg.
You know what I'm saying?
Like even when you eat it, it tastes different.
It doesn't have that.
It can be fully cooked, a store egg, but it almost has like a running taste to it.
And a farm egg is meaty. It's more meat cooked, a store egg, but it almost has like a running taste to it. And a farm egg is meaty.
It's more meaty like a steak.
You feel full.
You feel clean.
It's just a completely different ballgame that I think people should really dive into.
Because when you first see that orange yolk, that really rich color.
that orange yolk that really orange color yes man it's crazy to see it because it is it is just it's
The orange yolk, yes.
so damn beautiful because you're like fuck you know this is a really good fucking egg you know
what i mean it's just people just really got experience man you won't go back when they had
that egg shortage crap i never flipped out about it at all i just kept preaching to people go to
your local farms fucker like if they got the egg problem there the farmers ain't got the problem they got a problem
getting rid of their eggs go buy from them you could buy more eggs the cheaper price how isn't
it crazy how like if you buy eggs at the store all the eggs are going to be the same size the
same color same shape they're going to fit in these little cartons. It's like, it's like, uh, I can't even think of the word.
You know what it is, Jonathan, like mass production.
Genetically modified.
Yes.
But then, cause I, I used to live not on a farm, but when I lived with my ex, me and
his, well, I basically was dating his mom because I was spending so much time with her,
but, um, we. She had chickens.
And every single morning we would go out, get the chicken eggs, and they would be pink and blue and green and gorgeous colors.
Sometimes you'd get two in one.
You got a little twin yolk, twin eggs.
Good luck.
That's good luck.
Yep.
And all she had was like five or six chickens.
And all we had to do was like weekly, like do a deep clean. And it's like having a pet and fresh food all in one. And then those eggs, like you were saying, were so filling and so good. it's like EBT for pregnant women or like, and young kids.
And so they will only let you get, like they only put stuff on there that's like healthy, like, you know, whole grains and eggs and milk and fruits and veggies, whatever.
But when you actually go and see what type of eggs you can get,
they're not the organic ones.
They're the mass-produced, caged.
I don't know if you guys have all seen the shows where they show how animals are kept.
The old PETA documentaries.
Yeah, basically.
Because I grew up with vegetarians in the house and I was, like, forced to watch that shit.
Me too.
Yeah.
So, like, yeah.
And I'm, like, you're trying to feed pregnant women and children hormones.
Like, mass-produced, horrible conditions, stressed-out animals.
Like, that's the only thing you offer for them?
That's crazy.
Did you have the stickers that said chicks are friends, not nuggies?
Chicks are friends?
Yeah, it was like a little baby chick right next to the picture of a chicken nugget.
It's like, yeah, these are our friends.
We don't want to eat them.
It came with, like, the whole pita pack because my sister was a hardcore vegetarian at the time.
You know who are the most angriest people in the world? Vegetarians. Bro, I grew up with three of them.
My mom and both my sisters were vegetarians. And that's why I struggled so much with eating meat
because my sister would be like mooing in my ear while I'm eating a burger
and I would cry bro I'm like I'm struggling with food bro like raw meats I'm like man I struggle
so bad the thing is with that is like my bad Jonathan I just got to get this out like the
thing is with that is like at the end of the day is this like not a valid point that they're gonna
get murked anyway you know I mean like are we going to let them go to waste?
I feel like it's not like voting where, like, it's useless, but it's like you're one, you as an individual saying, like, I'm not going to eat meat is probably not going to save too many lives.
Am I crazy in assuming that?
No, you're right. If enough people were to stop eating, let's just say, for example, meat, then obviously they would have not enough people to sell it to and they wouldn't make money so they wouldn't be needing to slaughter animals anymore for food.
No, you're right.
I'm a B.
But I mean, some people believe that we are supposed to be eating them because of the Bible or whatever beliefs that they were put on this earth for us to eat. I think a lot of vegetarians might disagree with the way it's done,
but just by not eating meat doesn't, it might feel nice for yourself, but it's not gonna make a
huge change. I agree. I'm gonna be honest with you. Let's look at it a couple of ways. The one
way I would say is that they have created a system of over, over developing so many animals that if you didn't eat them at this point, it would literally overrun the country.
They would just be wild, everything everywhere.
Cause they're not going to kill them.
They just going to shut down shop and just leave.
And you got a bunch of Roman ass animals, which could be a little crazy.
That's why they encourage you to kill like certain species, right and they want them to to kill them and eat them i don't i can't think of them
off the top of the head like maybe like same thing with deer deer deer is one of them yeah
if they have too many deer they run out of food they're gonna go and you're just gonna have a
bunch of starving deer and then they're going to eventually adapt and start eating, I don't know, them each other. I don't have no idea.
Well, they'll they'll they'll damage an entire area if it's too if it's too overrun.
Watch out for those mini deer.
Well, it's going to be like a walking dead, but they're deer instead.
There's hungry deer.
Rami, you say that.
But there is something going on in the world of hunters that is happening and infecting animals in a very nasty kind of way.
That was a serious pandemic.
You don't want to eat.
I think that was like a year and a half ago that they were talking about the zombie deer.
They would get infected by a parasite that would take over their brain.
And they obviously wouldn't die and come back to life, but they would be taken over and start acting rampant, just different.
Yeah. Yeah, they start acting pretty crazy. And start acting rampant, like just different. Yeah.
Yeah.
They start acting pretty crazy and those can pass on the people as well.
But at first those first were only,
you could only see them in insects and it would turn the insects and the
zombies.
And you know,
there ain't no telling what could have happened.
I mean,
a deer could have been eating some grass or something and ate one of them
damn things.
And then now it's in them.
It's pretty, it's a pretty wild thing to sit there and watch them take over something and it's
gross as shit as well but um yeah that's a lot of a lot of stuff that that could be changed i am more
plant-based i don't like the term vegan only because i haven't met a nice one yet they're all
like angry about something um but more plant-based is I just eat, I just eat a
lot of alkaline foods. Well, things that are alive. I got to say this one, I can't live without fish.
I have to eat fish like red meat. I don't really care about, um, chicken, like whatever, but fish
I need. Um, the other thing is that there's a lot of, this is like kind of off topic. There's a lot
of, um, parasitic and like symbiotic relationships that are like really good as well.
I think it's like seagulls and whales and stuff like that are like the whales and like something that cleans their teeth and shit like that.
So it's interesting.
Now, it it the world itself.
I mean, once people get out of their fucking head and their own personal struggles that they're going through because everybody's going through them and they start looking at other things of how the world, like the real world works, the world of nature, they start understanding like, man, there is a flow to everything.
And it's not as bad as you think it is.
And there's always something that correlates with something else that can help
something else.
this is really the journey we supposed to be on.
You know what I'm saying?
But you got people out here trying to fear monger people and causing panics
and different things for whatever their agenda is going to be.
But,
you know,
we need as many sane heads out there as we possibly can
get to get people to realize like these are all benefits for you right now to kind of
recenter yourself, maybe change your eating habits, live your life a little better way.
It ain't got to be simple. Don't get me wrong. I want the two houses. I want the loft in the city
and I want the fucking land in the woods. Like I want them both, but I still want to live a more healthier,
more holistic,
calm life because Rami,
you're like me.
We introverts.
I'm pretty sure if,
if we both had a compound,
we had everything we needed there.
They would never fucking see us.
They would think we had died.
That's the goal.
That's my goal because I enjoy that.
I was talking to my, uh, one of like the older wiser men at the job that's my goal because i enjoy that i was talking to my uh one of like the older
wiser men at the job that i work with he was like talking to me about um his country and how it is
to live over there and shit like that and i was telling him like bro like i would take the ease
of mind because how they do it in my country and at his country as well um he's from ecuador i
believe or something like that and i I'm from, um, well,
the place that I'm talking about specifically is Lebanon. How they do it is like, they treat
apartments like condos. So once you buy your apartment, it's over, it's yours forever.
And they still take care of it. The person on, on site still takes care of it for you,
but you don't have to pay fucking rent or anything like that. All you do is pay taxes on it.
rent or anything like that. All you do is pay taxes on it. And, um, and that's every property.
And I'm saying you can get like, uh, like a 50,000 apartment and be set for the rest of your
life and not have to worry about rent. And I told him, I was like, that kind of peace of mind,
it's so much more valuable to me than, than having like, you know, hundreds of thousands,
because that is the equivalent of having like a hundred thousand. I don't have to pay rent for
the rest of my life, gang. I'm good. But good but absolutely if i had like a compound or a life like
that you wouldn't see me bro we would be chilling in the woods self-sufficient enjoying life as it
is with our families like that's all i really need but i'm in this society i was born in america
unfortunately and fortunately so i have to upkeep the societal standards, which is
work your ass off to get X amount of generational wealth. Make sure my kids that are eventually
coming are good for life. I actually, I already take on the responsibility of taking care of my
parents now. It's like, you know what I mean? It's a bit, it's a lot of hustle and bustle that most
of them over there don't give a fuck about. I can understand that. I have been looking for years on properties, checking the real estate
market and stuff in different countries, places like Africa and Costa Rica, just different places
that I can go that don't get cold because I don't want to be in the cold no more. The cost of living
is like pretty much nothing compared to America.
My uncle just did that, brother.
There's Turkey and Lebanon.
When I get a compound like that, because I'm going to follow suit like him and my pops, I'll keep you in mind, bro.
Trust me.
All you guys will be in mind.
You know, I'm trying to get it, bro.
I just, it's just, I don't know, man.
I feel other places calling me, man, like all the time, like calling
me to, to go live somewhere else. I just want to establish myself well online so that I can get
that mailbox money. They say, well, it'll just pop up in my account and it doesn't matter where
I am. I just, um, I just know that yes, America is going to be here. America's great. Don't get
me wrong, but I've never been nowhere else. And I
know I grew up with a lot of Lebanese people and, um, they the ones that run Oklahoma, especially
the liquor business. Um, and they talk about all kinds of stuff like that. I've always had friends
that were international from different countries and it's really helped me out, um, in my life
because I grew up in the hood. I've never been anywhere out of the country.
And it just let me see what their world was like.
That's why I never understood people that have a problem with foreign people.
I've talked to people from all different kinds of countries, from Russia, from Bosnia, from everywhere.
All because I just don't care.
I just like asking questions and seeing, you know,
how things are. I talked to a guy that was from Serbia and he learned seven languages. You know
why he learned seven languages? Because his mom moved every year, just like my mom, but they live
somewhere different where the language was different. And he found that kids didn't want
to beat him up and pick on them if he learned their language. So that's how he learned seven languages. When you generalize an entire people, you're losing the individual. Like you
don't get to hear those stories and what makes every single person so special. I can speak to
this, especially like personally, because like as a Palestinian going before like this, this,
this insight and like the, the volatility of the politics over
there, bro, I used to travel to my country and like, I would have some of the greatest
conversations ever with these Israelis, like these, these real motherland Israelis, like they
were beautiful people. And again, if you're just going to generalize people off of like,
maybe not even anecdotal things, maybe things you've just heard you're gonna lose so
many opportunities so much value in life but uh push i saw that you unmuted if you want to say
something oh yeah thank you uh i i was when you guys were talking about just like talking to people
in like from different places and stuff like I actually started reading novels written by like foreign authors,
like a lot of Japanese authors to start with.
But like to me, like reading like fiction written by people in other cultures
gives you an insight to like what they grew up with
and what they deal with on like a day-to-day
and it's just i don't know i thought it was a good way to kind of open up
my thinking and be able to see in different directions like that
100 it's the it's the best thing you could do um i actually started that journey when i was 18
best thing you could do. I actually started that journey when I was 18. My friends started going
to jail because we were a little while. Friends started getting hits put on them. And I didn't
want to be around that. So I bounced. And when I moved back home, I started reading books over
Confucianism and different things that I didn't fucking understand when I read it. I had no idea
what I read. But the way my brain works with holding information, it will connect things so I can understand them just randomly. So I would be
out living my life, doing my stuff, and then the part that I read in one of those books would
correlate to what I'm doing, and then bam, I instantly know what I read, what it meant.
I don't know if other people's brains were like that but but mine does and it helped me to to dive into that stuff more and not
be so fearful of reading it because i don't understand it because my brain is going to link
everything together so i can at a later time but i need to take the knowledge in um that's also why
i like foreign films i love foreign films I just know that certain countries do certain things better than america
like, um
The eastern europeans they do drama very well
And thriller, you know places like japan they do drama well and in china and korea
They do horror very well as well as thrillers
And it's always crazy to me when I meet people and they're
like, I can't watch that stuff. I can't read subtitles. You can read though. So you don't
need to read the whole damn subtitle to know what the hell's going on in the room. I mean,
in the scene, it's not that hard. Like pay attention to everything. You only need a couple
words out of there and you pretty much know what's going on but they are missing out on some great cinema
uh by thinking like that but there are a lot of people that you know if it ain't english and it
ain't america i'm not fucking with it but it's fine you can live in your box but i like to live
in the world and not in a box well anyways on a side note man since we do have like this little pause unless i'm rugging
because my internet has been acting up am i good yeah you're good all right so yeah um let's just
take this moment to do a little reset obviously it's been like more vibey these past weeks because
prior to even marcus's like recent family. And before Lou's son was born,
I had my own things going on.
So it's been kind of like sporadic with these episodes.
Like one week,
it'll be Marcus and Lou.
One week it'll be me.
One week it'll be me and Marcus.
But regardless,
I'm,
we're all like,
we all have the same sentiment.
We're just trying to keep it going while balancing our IRL lives.
And I know you guys all understand that,
but that's why it's been like this.
I appreciate you all pulling up still.
I fucking love these combos.
The reset, just want to point up top.
So the first couple of posts are from Coke and I's stream
that we do every Saturday.
And that's something that I personally take a lot of pride in.
I know Coke fucking loves doing them.
We've been progressing, like I said, I say it all the time, like every week we're getting more and
more entertaining and like the, the in syncness of us is like, it's growing. So we're, we're doing
that tonight, 9 PM EST. And then right after that, you'll see the Synchroverse AI partnership
that we have going on in the coming weeks, we're going to have a live
stream with Aria. And she is a AI streamer. And we're going to have some fun with her too. She's
going to be part of some of the gaming that we do. Mainly, she's just been doing like crypto
sentiment streams. And she did like a full Spanish stream yesterday with someone. You can go to her
page and check it out. And yeah yeah we'll probably be like the first two
to actually like get some of that gaming out of her so we'll see how that goes it should be a lot
of fun and then i obviously just posted up like some of coke's recent posts as well as his coked
up rambo post so you can either go and mess with me on twitch like drop a follow pull up tonight
9 p.m est or you can pull up on X and just watch coke live on here while you doom scroll
And just have it like in the window. It's pretty dope
also last thing shout out to dillo he uh
He put me on to this little 420
D god
And now my you looks awesome. So
But yeah, I appreciate you guys being here. I do have a couple of questions. I wanted to ask
Just because that's how that's how
I always end. Like if there is ever a dead spot or a quiet spot, I do like to embrace the silence.
But at the same time, I do like to come like a little prepared with some some combos. So
there was a dude. Oh, hold on. I see. We got a hand. What's going on? I just I just want to ask,
what are you streaming tonight? I don't even know. Tonight, it's going to be Schedule 1 and Repo.
Probably we'll start off with Schedule 1.
And last week, I was dressed up as a, well, you can see it in the picture, as a fucking OG.
And tonight, Coke said that he has something in store for you guys. So definitely tune into his stream.
I don't know if you heard about that one yet, Icy.
You know, sometimes I hear things a little late.
You would think that, you know, I talk things a little late you would think that you know i talked to
him about 42 times a day um you would think i would know but sometimes i'll hear from his mom
and be like oh did you hear that and i'm like nope nope so maybe maybe not i also have memory
issues so we'll see maybe it's gonna be dope i love watching you guys play repo that shit is mad
funny oh yeah we're Repo tonight for sure.
I told them last week I was really excited
to get on Schedule 1 because I've been seeing so many
fucking clips of it, and I've been avoiding
it to not ruin my experience.
And it's just so funny.
The whole game is hilarious, but Repo has been
some of the most classic moments
as of recent. I love that shit. It's still
scary to me. So, that shit
is fun as hell. We're going to do that after schedule one. It looks fun. I own it. I got the damn thing. I ain't even played
the damn game yet. I got to sync my controller up because I don't do that keyboard shit.
Bro, it's an easy game. You got to learn the mouse and key on this one.
No, I don't want to learn it.
No, we have a couple people who play on controller as well, bro. Just try to load up before tonight and you can get in on the session.
I think it's like up to six or with mods, I think it's like up to ten people.
So if you can get it ready before tonight, we're in there.
I'm down.
You know, I got my space at ten.
We usually go to like twelve or one o'clock.
That last space, it went a long time.
I did five hours.
Post it up too, Jonathan. hours okay i'll do that um yeah so i'll be
wanting to do it it's just crazy that you know i have my space on saturday nights i know y'all
play i want to play but then my cigar people in my to be like hey man we're doing the space tonight
i got some stuff to talk about man we're doing the space space. I know, I know. It's a crazy overlap.
Realistically, you would only have the one hour to play with us,
and then you would have to shuffle around and shit.
But no, I get it.
Sometimes, once in a blue moon, we do stream on Fridays too.
Whenever that happens, we'll get it up together.
You know what I mean?
I'm down for it, man.
I still ain't really – I own 20 games,
and I ain't really cracked none of them open like that.
Except Warhammer. I've beaten that twice because that shit is intense. And it's fun, but I got Cyberpunk. I got all of the Cyberpunk's, the DLC with Idris Elba. Like I got all of them. I ain't
even really, really dove into that. That's why I was saying before the meeting,
I got a lot of content that I already have on the back end
or stuff that I could actually make.
I just have to set up a schedule.
Yeah.
So I'm about to do that.
Sorry, Rami, I know you're trying to get to a question.
Rami, hit up Coke about this coming Friday,

Now, me and Walt D has been talking for a minute now.
And he's like, now you can always come on there.
I'd be forgetting, bro.
I could literally stream with him every single night in gaming, which I'm going to do next week.
I'm going to hold myself to it to try to stream as many nights as I can playing repo uh with fucking wall and uh get
myself out there more because I do stream all of my brunch before lunches now I stream every single
one of them and then um I got my nice little thumbnail now that I had to work on um and I'm
using a sneaky deal with uh Canva they got 30 days before I have to pay the bill so i'm on some sneaky shit i'm a i've been
producing as many thumbnails as i possibly could think of for the next 30 days or 29 days and then
i'm gonna cancel that bitch why don't you just start using ai isn't that like the most convenient
use that too i use them i use them both but that um that that that PFP you be seeing at lunch, I mean, at lunch on our in our meetings.
That's the that's the one I use for all of my thumbnails now, because I'm sitting over there trying to think of all this crazy stuff to put on thumbnails.
And my daughter was like, why don't you just use that one? So I use that one.
And she was like, do me a favor, Dad. And I'm like, what? She was like, I'm gonna give you a little info right here. Don't use all of your beautiful AI generated backgrounds.
She's like, because they're beautiful. But when I look at it, I can't pay attention to what you
wrote on on it. So she's like, just use solid colors. So I've been using that. And my stuff
has been getting, you know, three or four views I'm happy
because it's not zero so I'm not
mad so I know one day it'll
be much higher so I'm just having fun
with it get her into marketing
ASAP bro
hey man she's been marketing this shit out of herself
jinx
she do though
like Icy I'm about to
send you her info she's got her tag for um
for mobile cod she loves that shit oh shit she'll have been me and profits been playing we've been
fucking shit up and then you know every other we're trash but um hell yeah yeah she likes sniping
that's her that's her favorite thing she likes snipe people. Tell her to join our team because we need a sniper.
The way me and Profits play, she be camping somewhere.
She picks a little spot.
She's a camper, bro.
She admitted it the other day.
She camps in her little spot.
And me, I can't stop moving because I'm like, oh, someone behind me.
So I'm just on the – we look like we're the perfect duo.
I'm nonstop.
She's camping in the corner. So I'm like, all right, I'm over here. Oh, they're coming towards you. And look like we're the perfect duo. I'm nonstop. She's camping in the corner.
So I'm like, all right, I'm over here.
Oh, they're coming towards you.
And then all we need is a sniper.
See?
See, it's perfect.
It's the, it's the, it's the trifecta or the Trinity on that one.
Three women just fucking dumping on people.
But my daughter loves that shit.
Like she got hooked on it.
She was playing that shit every day.
So I asked her, what are you doing?
You know, just playing a little COD.
I'm like, okay. Five hours later. Hey, hey what you doing i'm still playing a little bit of
cod you know i'm just trying to i'm trying to rank up a little bit here you know just a little bit
it's it's it's cool to see like um when your kids get to a certain age it's a it's even more of a
joy to watch them keep becoming more of themselves you know what i mean it's a
it's a really really fun thing and once you start being able to have like real conversations with
your kids and they understand like they've learned stuff without you teaching them and then you talk
to them and they they talk about it like they know it and you'll be like damn what you learn
that blah blah blah blah you're like damn that's what i'm talking about. I raised you right. That's a good feeling. My baby just turned three yesterday.
And he's over here asking me detailed questions.
He's like, who made this road, mommy?
He's like, how does the light turn on on its own?
I'm like, I don't even know.
Hey, it's, yeah, I understand that.
My daughter would not stop asking me questions.
The way their brains work, though, is crazy.
Because I'm like, you're asking solid questions that I don't even ask anymore because I've been so living in this world where that's not even a question anymore.
It's just the way it is.
But, like, you're asking great questions.
Don't lose that childlike curiosity, I see.
Once you do, you're fucking, you're lost.
And then, um, what's up, Jonathan?
No, no, no.
Go ahead and finish.
I've been talking my ass i love it i love
the combo um i was gonna say i literally was um because me and coke had a little demo slash call
for aria this morning and then afterwards we were just chopping it up and he mentioned like you know
eli just turned three and how time flies and i was like bro it feels like just yesterday icy was in
the spaces talking about how she's prego she can't smoke and it's like we'll see you guys in a couple months
after the baby and now uh already seven months right she turned seven months yesterday she's
over here trying to crawl and um like living her life and i don't have to hold her head up and it's
crazy and it's like now it's like this whole time i was like trying to like get my milk supply up and now it's like trying to get her off of it and i'm like wow
that was quick i don't even like what like she's eating food what the hell she wanted to say a
quick word if you don't hear in the background she's like hey put me put me on. Um, kids now are there.
They're coming out different. They're coming out. Um,
this generation of children,
if y'all have any children in the past in this year or coming years,
they, they are saying that the children are coming out. Um,
they're coming out more advanced, evolved, the ability to,
to grow and learn much faster than the generations before them
which i find extremely interesting because there are kids coming out and they're able to hold their
head up in like the first few hours so it's funny how we used to always talk about like
you know animals having kids and the kids start walking i mean the the calf or whatever starts
walking like that day and everything. It seems
to be that the evolution of humans is speeding up. Now, I know that too is based on your gene pool
and what you put in your body in the process of building a baby, but children are coming out and
learning much faster. That's why I want more children, but I want it to be with somebody
that I'm going to be with for the rest of my life and and not being a single parent again.
You know what I'm saying? So I want to do this again on this a few more times because I really feel that I would like to have more kids in this this era that we're in.
And all the knowledge I've learned over these years, I would love to be able to pour into some children right off of the bat with somebody I'm going to be with.
And I'm not going to be in and out of their life or whatever happens.
You know what I'm saying?
I always feel somewhat sad for people that don't want to have kids because of whatever is going on in the world.
on in the world. And I have to always tell them, you do know that we're in the best times that could
ever be other than the times that, you know, way back then with Unanaki and all that kind of stuff
with technology, but it's the best time right now. And people were having kids when they,
they didn't have shit. They weren't like a sheet on them and living out in a cave or in the woods
or something like that. So I don't't i don't really feel that there's
ever a bad time to have children in my in my in my mind as far as like basing it on what the world
is doing i don't give a fuck about the world because when i go home and close the door it's
just me and my family now you want to come and cause a ruckus then i'll send you where you need
to go but other than that you're elmi el, don't listen to him. You don't.
Four is good unless you really want more.
Hey, man.
That's all right, man.
You're building a team, son.
You're building a team.
I respect that shit.
Yeah, people would say like, because I had Eli in 2022.
And so I was pregnant in 2021.
They still call him a COVID baby.
And they're like, these COVID babies are so advanced.
And I'm like, no, it was just no, no.
Life has transformed into a different projection since 2020.
But no, this ain't no COVID baby.
These babies are just different now.
Oh, yeah.
The evolution of people has to evolve.
You know what I'm saying?
It just has to. It's just wild to see it, yeah. The evolution of people has to evolve. You know what I'm saying? It just has to.
It's just wild to see it, though.
It really is. Even these videos of these children that are advancing very fast, they're growing fast, they're getting smarter, quicker.
I think there was one little kid, I think he was like five years old. This kid knew two different languages and he knew math.
And I mean, real math that adults might not know, like algebra and all that kind of stuff.
And it was it's just amazing to to sit and see that. Now, granted, I haven't had a boy yet. I would like a boy at some point.
I think I'm going to get one because my dad got one.
I am the one boy, his first first born son only son with five sisters. So, um
I'm hoping I get that again, but I do carry the gene for twins as well
So I don't know what's gonna happen. We're gonna see
Careful which wish for him I end up with two boys at one point
Hey, i'm cool with it because me and my sister we were born one year
one month and one day apart people think we're twins i guess you could say we kind of are and
not uh we look alike we act alike um and we have this ability to talk to each other without actually
talking um which people find very weird because we'll sit and be
looking at each other and they'll be wondering what we why we look at each other like that's
because we're talking without talking yeah but i always are very similar we it's crazy crazy
and we're complete opposites and like in everything the way we look the way we are
the things we like complete opposite but the exact same
facts in the same boat it's just a it's a fun road man um and i wish that anybody
that wants to do it and have children they actually do and things go very well and and
they grow together because it's going down like kids being birthed is going down literally in the world
because people are terrified of like everything and at the end of the day you're talking to one
bro i'm fucking you know how long i've been putting off having kids bro i felt like i needed
a job i felt like i needed a house i feel like i need all this shit set before i can even think
about it that's i mean i feel like that's the way that, like, the previous generation saw it.
And now we're in a generation where it's actually, like, so I feel like in the past generation, it was like, okay, parents, like, their goal was, like, to have a college fund or something for their kids.
And now it's, like, to have a college fund to put your kid through entire, you know, like whatever they need for college.
And then you want multiple.
And then you also have to feed them and clothe them and make sure they're not, you know, growing up in like a tent.
And it's just not as feasible to plan.
Like our five to ten year plan has now become like a one to three year plan because of, you know, the inflation.
There's just so many different factors that obviously inflation has been an aspect in forever.
But now it's like the average age and the average price for housing, like to purchase a home.
A lot of people are just okay with renting forever because they're
like, I'm not going to get to that point. So it's like, it's just different. You got
to plan differently. It's a little bit more of the unknown, not just like cookie cutter.
Oh, I'm going to buy a house and get a job and have a degree and have kids. Like it's
not like that anymore. So it is scary. It's scary as hell. And that's why instead of four,
I'm going to stop at two because I know I can provide for two.
I love that you said that. I love that you said that. And like, since we're getting into this, let's really get into it.
But like me personally, I want like 10 kids, bro. My my grandparents, they were on my mom's side.
I think they had 11 and on my pop side they had like 14 so I want to like
and while my parents didn't have that many I think it's like five of us and they weren't like all
together I want like that big amount of kids in my house I want like 10 plus and then like besides
that like even before you get to that point because like obviously that's later down the line
I feel like the expectations of women and god bless you, I see, I'm not talking
about like women in general. Like it's, I don't know how to say it. It's like women are in the
dating scene. If you tell a woman like, Oh, I'm doing this job and I have this going on for me,
they might just turn you down just off of that. Like rather than like finding someone who's
willing to go and struggle with you and stay down with you for a long amount of time and then work with you to grow and then eventually make a family
outside of like a high school sweetheart I feel like it's far and few between
no you're so so right it's so right like I was like you know what like I knew I was this before
me and coke got together we knew we were gonna going to end up together. All right. I've known him for like 13 years.
But I was like, I'm not dating these people.
These people want – people are just draining my energy and using my energy for their benefit.
People want things from me, whether that's physically or they want something done for them.
Like nobody is like – my whole – I've always just been like date to marry type shit.
Or not even marry, but date for life.
Cause you're an individual. I don't own you. You're still an individual, but like,
I want to partner through life. And that was not something I was finding even in like
when I was 23, even in like a 30, 30 year old, they were still like, they're,
it's like, are you mentally just, just yeah she's mad too you mad huh
she's like she's thinking about the future like other than my dad
and it's like but then at the end of the day me and coke got together and we're like we have the
same goals we know what we want we want to start a family we want to do that like it's like you've
got to find a partner and that is hard to find especially with
like yeah people be be yeah but even even life like oh fuck it i'm gonna just spend money on
this i'm gonna do that like you really even laying it all out there though that makes you look like a
fucking weirdo sometimes right if you're like if you're honest to someone like yo like all right
i'm trying to date to mary i'm trying to work to, like, marry.
And, like, if we want to make this connection deeper, like, I'm cool with that.
Let's get to know each other.
And then, like, I want to go, like, straight into, like, fucking having a family together and all that shit.
And they're like, I just met you.
I want to go.
It's like I don't have time for that bullshit.
Why am I wasting my time with you?
Yeah.
Most people are weird.
They're weird and funny now for some odd reason.
I'm gonna let y'all know right hand up in the sky.
I've been celibate for going on nine years.
And the reason why I did so is because I noticed there was a trend of women that I seem to be attracting,
which were broken mentally and spiritually, as well as have been abused at some amount of time in their life.
And very flighty with their conversation.
How the fuck? How are you attracting these kind of women?
Because I'm naturally a teacher and naturally a leader. So people who are broken seem to gravitate towards me.
And it's very hard for me to push
away because I like helping people so what ended up happening in these relationships is I ended up
becoming these women's therapists that I was sleeping with me but I usually was the one helping
them do all of their shit and getting their brains right and I just realized at a certain point that
they were beautiful smart intelligent women that were broken and they related me to my mother. I was trying to fix women because I couldn't fix my mother
for the things that she was going through when I was younger. Now I had to do a lot of introspection
and meditation and different things to dive into stuff like that, which a lot of people don't want
to deal with, which is fine, but I had to. And I cut women off so I could actually
be able to see these things early and not sleep with them and then find out later on
that they are cuckoo crazy and I need to stay away from them. And I really found out how well
that was working for me when I went on a date probably like two years ago. And this girl, she was beautiful and everything, smart and intelligent, you know, helping communities and stuff for a nonprofit was great.
But then I noticed some things, you know, before I slept with her and I didn't, is that she didn't she didn't talk about being a mother like the way that I hear people talk about being a mother who are mothers.
being a mother, like the way that I hear people talk about being a mother who are mothers,
the joy of it, you know, being with their kids, she would be talking about going out all the time
or wanting to go out and never really saying anything about her, about her kid in a positive
way. And I didn't like that. I didn't like it because the father wasn't around. So he does
need a father figure. I've always dated women that had children, even when I didn't, because
I just don't really give a shit. If I liked a girl, then, you know, I'm signing up for the duty all the way around.
You can call me a simp, you can call me whatever you want.
But at the end of the day, I'm just a man.
That's real shit.
I'm just a man to care, man.
Yeah, and that goes to show what your goals are, too.
The moment you think about dating a woman, you're already like thinking about what responsibilities come with her having children.
A lot of people don't think like that.
I can't help it.
I see.
I was the kid who had to.
Yeah, but I've always thought like this.
I was a kid who grew up in a house for all girls.
So I had to watch chick flicks because there was only one TV.
So I am a kid who dreamed about being married and having a family and having
a wife and doing things for the family and, and, and actually building a compound one day. So my
whole family could live there and we, we would actually be good. So those are things that I've
always thought about. And I've always attracted much older women. I'm talking about, you know,
maybe 30 years older than me because of me being that that young old nigga that I told you, I see.
So I just learned that I also learned that it doesn't matter what age you are having emotional maturity and working through your shit.
It don't matter if you're 50 years old or you're 20 years old. It depends on are you putting into work and actually doing it.
So I learned that by dating older women, I've never dated a woman.
Well, I've dated one woman in my life that was close to my age. They've all been much older than
me in my life. But I will say on the note of the girl that didn't really talk about her kid the
right way, she didn't, she cut it off with me for the simple fact that I didn't try to sleep with
her the first night, which was a red flag for me. And I was just like, oh, yeah, that's cool.
That's not a problem.
You know, we could we could be cool.
It's cool.
She did regret that shit a couple months later when she seen me, though, because she told her homegirl.
I know I think I fucked up that one.
She said you did fuck that up.
That's a good man right there.
We're not fucking babies anymore, bro.
Like me personally, I can't even get off with you.
Like if I'm not like emotionally connected to you gang
like real shit every single time i try to go on a date with somebody they're like so you come in
but no stupid ugly no ew i don't even know your last name no it's yes wow it's wow how they how
they do that i found it crazy that a woman did not want to talk to me because I didn't try to sleep with her on the first day.
Now, normally over the years, we wouldn't make it out the parking lot, but it's just I'm different now.
I want a woman around me that actually brings more value to my life, and I want my daughter to see a real woman.
value to my life and I want my daughter to see a real woman. Like she's been seeing that with
the women in my family, but I mean a woman that I'm actually dating so she could actually see
me in a good relationship. And I would rather just be by myself for right now until that actually
happens and get myself in a better position. You know what I mean? But that goes back to what you
were saying though. Maybe there's never a right right time maybe the sooner you get that positive like womanly influence i'm not
saying your your influence is amazing on your daughter i'm sure i know that for a fact but
maybe just like you know putting yourself out there and finding that other woman who like
may take her in and like show her certain things maybe that's a good idea
yeah you you right which is why i'm i'm going out more um for some reason over these
eight years i haven't felt like going out i haven't felt like dating i just felt like you
know keep my nose to the grindstone and stay into myself but for some odd reason this year i feel
really really different and um i'm putting myself out there more and going to things i'm actually
thinking about going to one of those meet-up mixers.
Because, to be honest with you,
I would kind of have the pick of the litter
because it is a known
fact right now that a lot of guys don't
even come to those things anymore.
And I know I'm a fucking catch, okay?
I know I'm catnip. You know what I'm saying?
He's like, damn, it's about to be Jonathan, and
he's like the back of the way up.
The love of Jonathan
fucking like Ray J or fucking
Flava Flav.
Oh man, I ain't gonna have no big ass woman like that.
that bitch was tall as hell.
But you know,
I'm just trying to get back out there and
talk to some women and
seeing what's going down. I don't discriminate.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't like women that are super, super skinny,
but I do like fit chicks.
I like plus-size women.
Guys, write this down.
Hold on in case you find...
He likes pina coladas, long walks on the beach.
He said pina coladas.
You know I got to have a bourbon?
Dating an Amazon woman?
I just be labeled as a lumberjack
after I sleep with her.
That's all.
No, but yeah, like you said, Jonathan,
I'm trying to get that lifestyle too, gang.
Compound, huge fucking family,
literally making a tribe, bro.
I want an entire soccer team out there.
Yo, bring your kids to my house then
because I don't want them to be my kids
because I can only do so much.
I don't want 10 of them, but bring them to my house because i do want a full house
so well yeah it's fun the compound just walk over bring the golf cart over and uh just no legit
that's ideal bro like that's like the dream like have everybody in the same fucking little
community and then we all just like chill like like you said a full house is such a beautiful thing such a great environment i had it like
somewhat in my crib and uh like you know there was clash but that clash was fun now that i look
back on it was so great like fighting for computer time fucking bothering my like older brother to
play video games with him bugging my sisters to play board games yeah you gotta create the lure yeah
and then uh like this kind of goes into what you were saying i see like i also come from the school
of thought where like i wouldn't mind like helping my wife out with a nanny too though like i i don't
know how people feel about it but like in my culture that's kind of a common thing you get
like another woman yeah another woman to help out it's brilliant bro because it takes it takes a
little bit of stress off of everyone else because when it's just both of y'all um and you don't have
anybody you can't find a babysitter or nothing like that there are moments that you as a couple
need to have together as well and if you can't even you can't afford a nanny or no one in your
family is willing to help you out it could could be rough. Like I did that for,
for the eight years that I've had my daughter,
like I didn't have any,
any help.
Like I had to fucking figure that shit out.
Didn't have money for babysitter.
My family and them lived here and not in Oklahoma.
So I understand how hard it could be.
And if I had the money or anything to have a nanny at that time,
that could have made my life a hell of a lot easier so i think that's dope and i only i only really started looking at life as far as like
having the family and having the land with them live on it when i was going to these different
places in oklahoma um installing appliances because these people would have a whole compound
they would have like five different houses the coolest one i saw was they had five different
houses behind a huge amount of land everybody was kind of broken off of each other they had their
own spot but they had literally a big ass pond in the back that nobody could get to just the family
and all they did was spend time with each other and and and cultivate the land and different stuff
like that so me saying that yeah i was just like's dope. And me growing up around Asians, I saw it a lot too.
Like they might buy a big ass house
or have a big house made.
And the mom would have like her own side of the house.
Like she have her own house.
It's just connected to the rest of it.
And the whole family lived there.
So I really got to really watch that
knowing people from Lebanon and Asian uh, Asian families and stuff like
that. It really changed. It's funny that you said the Asians, because like, um, like Indians,
they do that a lot. Like they'll try to like find like a certain, even in the States, they try to
find like a certain neighborhood and then they, they bring in like everybody that they know,
you know what I'm saying? They all move close by. They have a little section like that here,
um, down in Yonkers. Jewish people, it's not
an absurd thought. Many people know this. They try to make neighborhoods. Lebanese people,
there's a part in Patterson that I go to regularly. It's mainly Palestinians over there.
It is what it is. It's beautiful. The type of woman I would be to my man if I had a nanny,
Mormon, I would be to my man if I had a nanny.
Crazy.
You know, like I already do like a lot in, you know, in the house.
But if I could put this dang baby down, there would be like three meals a day and he's not even here for them.
Plus, on top of that, your clothes are going to be folded like military style, organized Monday through Sunday.
But like,
it's a,
yeah,
it's harder to find.
Like we're in a neighborhood,
not like a neighborhood neighborhood,
but like all the houses near us,
a lot of them have kids.
But it's still like not as tight,
tight,
like as like how I grew up.
Like all the neighbors would just come outside and play.
And there's only one little girl who does like play with eli because we kind of share like a yard
But it's like why are we all so scared? I mean like I get it, but also like
society the good people too
It's just society like they they literally have a program
Well, they program people though. They program people to be scared of your neighbor
It's the this one of the the easiest mental tactics that uh, the military or the government can use is to get you to be scared of your neighbor. It's the, this one of the easiest mental tactics that,
uh, the military or the government can use is to get you to be scared of your neighbor.
It makes it, it makes it hard for you to get cool with your neighbor next door. Yeah. Like
grill together. Yeah. Trust each other because you, you've seen so many, you know, fucked up
situations that you really don't trust people
But if you don't go over and say hello and try to get to know him
How the hell you gonna know anything about him anyway?
Most people just search for your ass online find your name
Look you up and see everything about you and then they go from there
And they just they just never
Become a part of a village and it takes a village. That's some real ass shit because
it's how a lot of elderly people grew up. They grew up in a village type area. Everybody knew
everybody. That's the greatest thing I love about being born in 83 is that my generation that was
born in the 80s and stuff, we were the last ones to live both worlds. We lived a world without electronics first, and then we transitioned over to electronics, which I think that helps us out a lot more to talk to the youth because we have a better understanding on both sides of the line, in my personal opinion.
That's how a lot of Asian cultures are too, right?
Asian cultures are too, right?
Even grandmothers will
from what I've seen, I haven't been there,
but re-lactate
just to feed their grandbaby.
Stuff like that.
I could never, my mom would never!
But that's just how
it is here in America.
It's a lot different than other cultures.
Kush, go ahead and then I want to get two points off as well.
I was, I was going to say, yeah,
I was born in 82 and like the concept of like,
like when I was a kid, like 10 years old,
like getting on the bike on like Saturday morning and being gone all day.
And my parents didn't trip. Like they didn't know where I was, but they didn't trip either.
And, like, it was not even a thing.
And I remember, like, a couple years ago,
one of the girls I worked with had, like, a 16-year-old daughter,
and she, like, tripped that she didn't come, like,
straight home after school and just be, like, home.
I'm like, what did she do yeah nothing
what kind of life are you gonna have right it's crazy but yeah i i like just seeing it like
i'm old so i i guess i've seen a lot now but uh just seeing it is weird to see how it's transitioned. And it's almost like sometimes I wonder, are people getting crazier?
Or is it since we all have this accessibility to what everybody else is doing, we're just seeing way more of what the crazy is.
So it scares the shit out of people.
I think that's exactly it.
because now we can look up, you know, like, like literally I look up any place I live now that I
have kids, I look up, um, like pedophiles in the area. Like, I'm not going to lie to you. I do.
And guess what? I still like, I think it's just because we have access to seeing what the world
is really like. And like, these people have always been here. They just haven't got caught
or we haven't had access to seeing like in the nins we're not going to be able to look up the
neighbor next door and just be like oh this guy works as this he's been married for 12 like i
could look up my neighbor right now i bet you and find out everything about them we just oh you could
the access so we weren't as scared uh you you right about that uh I don't know if anybody is a movie guy like me.
I don't know if y'all have ever done this either,
but I have all the time.
Have you ever watched an old movie
that was in the 80s or whatever,
and it may be a detective or whoever,
and something's murder is about to happen at the house,
and you'd be thinking like,
damn, why don't you just call the motherfucker?
So you can know it,
and you'd be like, oh shit, this was 1990.
This motherfucker gotta go to a pay phone or a box or something to give somebody a phone call
This is very different where we are now compared to where we used to be
Um, you know what I mean? So not cuz I'm with you though
I've been telling people they're like, I think people are getting crazier. No, it's just that you can see all the crazy people
That's that's the difference walking around with blinders on, life doesn't look so grim or anything like that.
But once you take the motherfuckers off and you see the whole spectrum, a lot of people get very overwhelmed.
And that's where it all comes back to your mental.
Your mental is being attacked all the time, every day, any way you can think of it.
That's why it's very important to learn things to protect
your mental. And a lot of people don't, they just, they, yeah, they doom scroll and they doom scroll
on some doom and gloom shit because you know, once you look at it in your algorithm, even twice,
it just keeps feeding you that. And people don't, you know, they don't break out of that, but it
ruins their brains. They become fear mongers. They become extremists.
But like back to what Icy was saying about the neighborhood thing, like that's how I grew up as well.
Like there was like my closest childhood friend.
I would go over to his house.
We knew the neighbor's kids.
We would all hang out.
We would hang out with his older brothers, younger brothers.
We would all chill.
Their friends would all come over.
We would go outside and play with the neighborhood kids, play some, um, some cats, like some football and play some basketball.
And, um, like now if you go to a basketball court here in NY, the same courts I used to play on
bro in ideal weather, you see nothing. And me and my other bro, um, bands were just talking about
this because we would, you couldn't fucking stop me from going to a basketball court when I was
young, bro. You couldn't stop me from going out to play some sports with my friends. And it just doesn't happen anymore. And I
credit it to the phones, of course, which like there's multiple variables why it happens. But
look at the example of when that community got flooded and the power outage happened.
There was a viral video that that was shown of like the cul-de-sac of kids finally going outside
and actually like on bikes doing jump rope and all that shit it only happens for for that reason because they
don't have the phones that are not stuck to to youtube and roblox and all that stuff
i'm trying to get my kids outside now like learn this is the way life is this is where we
we're gonna be outside he begs to go outside and I'm just terrified for the day where
he's like I don't feel like it I don't want to I I want to watch like I want to watch a movie I
want to play a game like of course those days are gonna happen but yeah I'm scared for for those
days um but even like if even if you were to stop watching the phone and like being impacted by
what everybody else is doing, there's still then,
and this is the fear of me as a mother coming out,
but the people who don't have good intentions
now have access to all this media
and all these ideas of what you can do
to be a terrible person.
Now you got all these how-tos
on how to be the person i don't want around
my kids and it's like well now you have the internet and i don't and now it's like well
here comes the fear because i've been on the internet it's all you're gonna be good you're
gonna be good around me icy i've been studying these types of things for shit like uh 10 years
so you're around me don't. I know all the signs and everything
I'm not I'm not so scared about my neighbors
I'm scared of my kid running into like a ditch and like just going explore a cave and then getting my kid
My kid will just go like I think it'll be alright beautiful thing
But you know, I don't have a tracker on you. You don't have a phone
I'm going to put that tracker on.
What's going on? One of them little kid watches.
Bendo's.
Your mic is on, my boy.
How you doing, brother?
GM GM.
Yes, sir.
Right now, right now?
Yeah, right now, right now.
My bad.
My shit's tweaking.
What's up, everybody?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yo, yo. Tied to that. Y'all shouldn't be scared of other people like adults y'all should be scared of kids man kids is crazier nowadays
i gotta worry about the kids that's around your kids i gotta worry about all that type of stuff
now the y-n's crashing out the y-n's man that's what i gotta worry about y'all gotta worry about
stuff that we had to worry about in 2000s and 90s.
It's the kids now.
The kids don't have no role models.
The kids don't have nothing to look up to anymore.
They don't listen to the adults.
And the adults don't got time to listen to that bullshit that they're on.
So just keep that in mind.
Don't try to understand the youth now.
They try to understand us.
They couldn't understand us.
Just let people do what they do.
It's true.
That's how they build
character not to mention like the fucking i say it all the time it's like it's kind of related to
public schools bro like they're they're just regressing and regressing and the kids they're
going into these environments where it's like overly sexualized like not directly but like
and then you have access to all this bullshit and you're around other kids that like they may not be
receiving the same care as you that's why a lot of people say public school is the worst thing you could do
for your kids and you want to focus on homeschooling and that that fact has just been proven more and
more over time and it's sad to see because i was a i'm a product of public schooling you feel me
like and that's that's the the toxic mentality a lot of parents go into parenting with they say
like oh well i did it and I'm fine, so fuck it.
They'll take care of it as well.
I can't do it.
I'm going to leave my speaker still on so you can turn it off my speaker
because I really don't know how to turn this shit off.
It's tweaking.
I got you.
I'm going to meet you right now, gang.
One last thing, though, before I go.
You guys got to just remember, we're from New York,
and the kids are just running wild now, the days.
I don't know. It's weird. Like Ram said, there's no sports anymore. Well, we're from New York, and the kids are just running wild now, the days.
But I don't know.
It's weird.
Like Ram said, there's no sports anymore.
All those sports programs got taken away.
Kids turn to basketball, maybe young, and then they see all their other friends don't want to do it anymore.
It's just not it no more.
So you know what I mean?
Kids want to be murderers.
That's the era we're in right now. Make plays.
The faster you understand that and the quicker you get out of the way,
just, you feel me?
Care for everybody in here.
But I got to understand that sometimes it's not our battle.
You understand?
You can look and see what's what and observe.
But mind your business sometimes, you know?
That's just really the best advice I can give everybody.
You know what I mean?
Be observant and care.
And, I mean, if you want to to say something take your time and say something but just know that it's not
going to be addressed with respect these kids don't respect shit nowadays and i'm not here to
respect anybody because i'll crash out on a little kid so it really don't matter to me but um yeah
don't be out here trying to be an old dude and you know i mean trying to be wise to young kids
because they don't care about you trust me when i tell you that you can be wrong i'm gonna be honest with you um i can't stop myself um when
when i'm called by my ancestors of greater powers to give out a message i give it out because it
might not be for that kid but it might be for the kid that was listening in that that wasn't in
directly in the group um that's that's just how i personally feel. But no, I took my daughter
out of public schools. Her last time, she went from what, K to 12? I mean, K to five. And then
she's been at homeschool since sixth grade. My daughter's in the 10th grade now. And it was the
best decision I could have made because I get to see both contrasts of public school and homeschooling because I take
my niece to and from school every day and to see what those kids are wearing to school, how they
talking to their teachers, how the teachers are talking to them, them having to do metal detectors
because kids are talking about bringing guns to school and vape pens and all this kind of stuff.
She's in middle school. We didn't think about kind of stuff like that in middle school. So every day I'm re I'm, I'm, I'm this letting me know that me
hearing the voice to tell me to take my daughter out of public school was the right move. Um,
my daughter is just much happier. She has more time to do things. So if, if people can, and,
and you know, your kid could be molded to actually be in homeschooling,
it is not a bad move only because my daughter does schoolwork. It takes her like two hours to
do her schoolwork, sometimes less. And then she has the rest of the day do whatever she wants.
All she got to do is get her chores done. That's how she built her YouTube channel and had time to
cultivate her own skills because I don't,
I'm not going to force her to go to college either. I just want her to be happy and find
something that she's passionate about and find a way to monetize it and live a free, caring life.
You know what I mean? And, um, I'm, I'm happy for anybody that's willing to step outside the box to,
uh, break chains, to give their kid a better life because public schools, they're purposely
making them bad. For what reason? I don't know. But it seems like they're purposely
trying to make them bad for some reason.
I don't know, fam. It goes back to what we were talking about last week or the week prior. I
forget. Cutting these sports programs and then like
ban just said like more kids just want to be like rappers and fucking scammers and make the money
faster content creators on the um on the uh the cell phone and then like they they're probably
doing it so that people overcompensate and say like i'll pay more money to get these things back
when in reality you're just following the same system of making your kids like a future taxpayer and they're just trying to profit
for you and your fam but it's crazy to think about hey man they got to have slaves that fuel the
machine one way or another whether that's prisoners or low-paid workers they have to
because it's the system that they built you know what i mean
um and it's running exactly how they designed it to run even though people think that it's
it's not running right it is running exactly how they made it to run and um people are starting to
break out of that so they they're trying to find other ways to put people back in, in the system in some kind of way. And I'm not happy with it.
And I try to free as many minds as I can. You know what I'm saying? Um, not everybody's going
to be free. Uh, some people are going to be in a, in a bad ways and there's still that duality.
There's always going to be good people and bad people. It just, that's just what it is. But
you try to do what you can to to
get the the best product or the best result out of the people that you're around um that need to
hear it because sometimes you you hear something in you that tells you you need to tell somebody
something you can either tell them or not tell them but sometimes when you tell them you might
change someone's life like right then and there i've literally done that literally done it yeah i don't disagree with you at all bro like you said you got to sometimes give
um give the right kid you know guidance and shit like i'm not saying like every y and you see just
avoid them i'm not saying that but what i'm saying is bro like it's just like ram said it's just
we were impressionable as kids, but these kids are different.
They have phones, TikTok, everything you could think of, bro.
Like, watch your kids' phones.
Make sure they own, you feel me?
Kids aren't, people aren't hitting them up.
Like, I'm telling you, bro, it's kids that, it's kids being kids if you really want to boil it down to it.
But at the end of the day, these kids, like, I don't know, bro.
Like, for an example
i'll voice yeah go ahead for an example like the old dudes would make the make the young dudes go
do their their their bids and stuff it's always been like that but you know what i mean it's like
it's just different now it's just like it's no like simple shit like go make them bring the pack
like nah you really you're taking care of somebody you understand like it's just different bro it's
like we weren't thinking about doing missions like that at 12 13 these kids are doing missions missions y'all gotta understand
like these are these are savages we're being raised around like the kids of the future yeah yeah but
like is it our fault for failing them not necessarily but i mean it started with our
generation to an extent but now it's just it's uncontrollable man everything is it's just an
impressionable world more than
anything at the moment there's two factors that we haven't mentioned either which is
one like the um the increased rate of like divorced parents like obviously like single
parent households and hence why like the kids are more impressionable and they're looking for
that role model and the other part of that the side, the other side of the same coin, the role models are different now. The role models
are like these people that you're talking about that are like glorifying, like murder, scamming,
bad things. Like kids nowadays, if they even do go into sports or basketball, they don't
idolize the basketball players in the NBA at the highest level. Now they idolize the kid that's
popping off on Instagram. He's a fucking high schooler. And like, he's known for being like the swaggiest
kid as well as like a baller and a prospect. And that's kind of like, that's regressing them as
well. They don't have, they're not shooting for the stars anymore. They're just shooting for like
these, these skewed perspectives or skewed ideas of what is success to your point bro let me
tell you like ask ask a little kid right now who they want to be lebron james a little dirk
you'll see what you'll get your you understand you'll get your story nobody want to be lebron
james no more who wants to be lebron james like but the craziest thing you ever do is you give
them a brand like when you give them a nickname like y-n's you give them a brand. Like when you give them a nickname, like YNs, you give them a brand.
And what do people do with brands? They get behind it. And so sometimes I think it's the little
things we do as older adults when we want to, it's, it's, I mean, in the military, it was called
social conditioning. It's how you destabilize countries, right? But when you give them a brand,
you give them an identity and then you give them a reason to not be something else and hate everything else that's not them, right?
And that's social conditioning.
Yeah, basically, right?
Because, I mean, there's three levels of conditioning, operant, social, and classical, right?
And the classical is, if you hit me, I'm going to hit you, right?
Social conditioning is these people, you know, terrorists are the enemy or VC is the enemy for the days of Vietnam.
Charlie, call it what you want to call it.
And then operant conditioning is I'm a desensitize myself to the things that I do because I am this and they are that in this that that they are is inhuman to me because I am YN.
to me because I am YN. So sometimes as a society, we have to stop recognizing what these people
lack, or I guess what they bring, and realize what they lack and start like,
putting the nutrients in their soil that can make them blossom into something not that's better or
different, but that's more beneficial to society. all these people have skills. Because if they're, you know, anything that you want to be good at,
you will be better than almost anyone else you can meet.
But it's the will and the drive, right?
And so I think sometimes as a society,
we kind of have to stop like acknowledging it at mass scale
because that's the thing we didn't have.
I'm old as fuck. I'm going to throw that out there.
That's the thing we didn't have in the 80s is
if somebody did some shit like that in another city, like that's a world away.
They may as well did that shit in Rwanda with no TVs.
Right.
That's why we did.
You know, I mean, we don't know.
I broke 150 windows in one night and then spent summer and some change painted off.
summer and some change painted off right you know because we're busted ass kids too but that's the
Right.
You know, because we're busted ass kids, too.
thing is it um you stop the behavior because you realize that it wasn't that it wasn't a benefit
to society but it wasn't a benefit to you but we have people making it seem like it's a benefit to
them because there's no fucking long game and it's all of our fault, right? Every demographic, there's no long game. And so that's kind of what we need to bring back to say, in 20 years, what is how is this path going to benefit you? Because right now you're walking in quicksand. The moment you get caught this, the moment you get caught that, like, what's the longevity in that? That's stress. You're just gonna kill yourself sooner. Don't weed yourself out bro you know what i mean you gotta have that depth man like i understand exactly what you're saying um and that is true that is true the
information is so so quick right now and the title thing this generation talks about not they don't
like titles when you title them on something but this generation titles fucking everything
they title they put titles on every single thing they could possibly think of
But they don't like titles and all titles on relationships
Or say they're in a relationship or any of that
but I do get what you're saying when you when you actually put a stamp on something that people want to live up to the stamp and it is
funny now because I saw I saw
Somebody post something about I forgot what the guy's name was but his kid had tattoos on him fake tattoos
And they were like, oh well what's different from other kids tattoos?
And my comment was the difference is is that I drew dragons and flowers and different things on my body and got tattoos for that
These kids are putting tattoos of thug life stuff fake tattoos on their body
Trying to be an adult, but a certain
type of adult.
Yeah, I think that was Herbo's kid.
Exactly.
I think that was G Herbo's kid.
They're like, oh, it's the same.
It's not the same, man.
Like, because that's not what I did.
I didn't do that as a kid.
I wasn't thinking like that, but it depends on what energy they're trying to bring to
what they're trying to do with themselves.
And I don't
you're right that's an exact parallel that you drew right because their temp their tattoos are temporary there's no longevity like there's no lifelong consequences that did the same thing as
your tattoo so yours has to be more thought out because you have to wear it forever like you
the exactly echoed my sentiment man that's an exact example man i was trying to uh i see go ahead let's get it
welcome to wick and big radio i just want to give a fat shout out to marcus

sentiments
this is your boy here
checking in with you
you know
if y'all want to smoke with us
come hang with us
vibe with us
rip the bone with us
if you don't smoke
it's okay
just kick it in with us
and you know, get
high today anyways.
I'm going to give that a B-. I'm just kidding.
I'll take that. I'll take that.
I get that a B-. That's not bad, sir. That's a nice little reset.
I was going to say something.
I forget.
I had a brain fart.
I was hitting a cigar.
I'm going to have to do that later.
Talk about these kids, you know, the kids today.
And, you know, when I was young, I'm probably older than all y'all, but some of y'all could
be my kids.
But anyway, you know, when I was young, like I was listening to my man's earlier talking
about, you know, we get on the bike and just leave all day, you know what I mean? Like,
and parents didn't even trip, you know what I mean? Like I grew up in Germany. So like we used
to get on a train and go to a whole nother city, you know what I mean? And just be gone all day,
you know, and I might check in with my mom, stop at a pay phone and try to call her if she was at
home, you know what I'm saying? You know, or I might say, Hey, I called you weren't at home. You know what I'm saying? But
like, yeah, it's a, it's a different, you know, my mom wasn't worried about it. And I think
like part of the reason it's not because like, there's more crazy people out here today. I think
it's like just our knowledge basis of the fact that there are crazy having more access to it.
Right. Yeah yeah and just knowing
that information it incites that fear you know i'm saying like you're like oh no there's crazy
people out there i can't let my kids and you know i'm the same like i wouldn't let my kids ride the
their bike around the block you know i'm saying i'm like if i can't see you then you're too far
you know what i mean and then i
think back i'm like god that's crazy cam like you're in your own neighborhood like you know
what i mean like you ain't got to follow him in the car to ride their bike to the friend's house
type shit and that goes back to the thing i was talking about though bro like there i know like
people who have like they'll they'll watch like a movie like Zeitgeist. And this is a real example, a real life example.
And this woman went fucking absurd, bro.
Like I'm talking about like tinfoil hat.
Like she just lost it.
She said like, she would start coming to like the office and saying like,
they're putting chemicals in the water.
We have to be careful.
You have to be careful what you eat.
She started losing so much weight, bro.
She was under a hundred pounds.
She looked fucking sickly.
And she was like going, she was just going crazy was driving her nuts and again and it's it's not related at all really but the same thing happens with politics once you take something to
an extremist level it's just unhealthy bro like don't let that fear push you to the edge gb go
ahead bro what's going on my guy and welcome And welcome to fucking Exposed Media, gang.
What up, what up, what up, what up?
Yeah, well, that's dope shit, right?
What up, gang?
But no, I just wanted to add to the topic of the day.
Kids are resilient.
Don't let fear rule your life.
Like, my daughter's 18 now, graduated.
We did all the things.
Been through whatever, all kinds of shit but kids are resilient and as long as you love them and raise them right and teach them up like
they're gonna exemplify like your morals and what you stand and what you believe in
and like i know the the younger ones are like really crazy, but I got a lot of
hope, like just seeing my daughter's generation, the kind of work ethic that her and her friends
have. They're not really influenced by this social media world, really, like they see through the
bullshit. So yeah, I don't know if you got younger ones. I know it's crazy, but like,
kids are resilient as fuck they're gonna see more than
you we were raised up in a way that we didn't want to be helicopter parents but like we were
doing crazy shit so we assume our kids are gonna do crazy shit they're not they're like gonna be
way cooler than us and do fucking way doper shit and outshine us and you just gotta like
kind of believe in that and know that like,
it might not seem like what you're doing is working. But at the end of the day,
consistency, consistency pays off. And it's the same with like raising a kid.
Absolutely. And it goes to say with that, like, there is no blueprint with parenting,
with parenting, right? Like, when you have a kid, it especially the first one, it's your first time
doing that. Like, you you have no idea what the fuck is going to work and your style of parenting
like god bless you bro like your kids like they're doing great and i'm happy for that
and other parents they may approach it a different way or even a similar way and have different
results it just is what it is but like you said um well this is my opinion as long as you're doing
your best it's going to work out like have faith they are resilient rdc i saw the hand up what's going on gang
i was just going to say what he was saying earlier about letting his kids ride down the road
like i won't either and i i stayed so my grandma was a missionary growing up right and so i would
save up all my little bullshit monies i deliver flyers for Domino's five cents a lick and I do 40 bucks a week.
But I went on mission trips with her.
I stayed in a village by myself at eight in Africa while she had typhoid fever.
But whenever we would go on mission trips, I'd legit.
She'd fly to see one of her either grandkids or sisters or whatever.
And I would fly back by myself.
I would never let my kids do that
shit eight nine ten I'd leave so many different places it's wild and it's just like nowadays
you I don't know I think sometimes we like he also said too we talk ourselves into worrying about
things that maybe don't happen I think there's a there's a parable in there somewhere about failure is
growth. And I think as helicopter parents, sometimes we, you know, when your kids fail,
when they're kids, it's free. When they do it as adults, it's prison. And so sometimes I think we
have to have that post-action talk with them like, you did this and it was bad how what did you get from that thing
that you did and let me know if you're going to do it again and if you're going to do it better
because my middle son is he is ultra autistic and i i really think like he's really made for
some crime shit like just the way his brain works and stuff i can't hold him for that because it's
you know it takes all kinds but it's you know we have that consistent argument of how is that good for everyone because in this world you have to exist
with everyone and so if that only benefits you how long before it's just you and then there's no one
yes right yes that's a beautiful statement yes crypto. Crypto Cam. Go ahead, bro.
I was just going to agree with him, like you said, like, you know, how he was in Africa and stuff like that. And, you know, grandma would leave him, you know, whatnot.
Like, man, you couldn't even do that today because people would be turning into, you know, you know, endangering children and shit like that.
CPS or whatever, you know, like, you know, we used to travel a lot.
And I remember when we went to adopt my little sister from India, my mom, I was 10 years old.
And my mom, I went to go, you know, to the zoo and I went to see around and my mom didn't feel good.
She wanted to stay at the hotel and she sticks me in a cab with just some local cab driver and pays him, you know, whatever.
And he drove me around all day long.
He took me to the zoo and just took me sightseeing all over India.
Right.
And I'm 10 years old with some just stranger, you know, basically, you know what I mean?
And I was gone all day long till sundown, you know, my mom had no worries or nothing
like that.
And it's like, we, like you said, we've got that fear in us you know and like I don't I don't I
trust my kids I raised them right you know what I mean they're all adults now you know I got
grandkids you know and and you know nephew little ones that I still have in the house and whatnot
but like I don't know if at 10 years old you know that I would do that like you know just just stick
them in the car with a with a you know an u and like, yeah, bring my kid back before sundown.
You know what I mean?
And not because of how I raised them, but just, you know, like you said, fear of society, you know, just, you know, that unknown out there.
You know what I mean?
How much of that is because we live in the States, bro?
Like you being someone who just said, like, you grew up in and in all these different places, like India and stuff like that. How much of that is
because we're here in the States and because we see what the fuck is going on over here. And then
I'm gonna get to you, Jonathan. Yeah, I think that's a very good point. That's a very good
point, man. And honestly, like, I think like if I, if I was in Germany and raising my kids,
I probably would have let them ride around the block, like you know i never even thought about that till you just asked that but like
thinking about that now if my kids were that age and you know circumstances were the same i you
know i probably wouldn't worry as much i'd probably send them to the store like i did my little sisters
and you know around the neighborhood and town and stuff and And, uh, yeah, I'm gonna have to think on that one as to why that is, man. That was a, that was a great point. She's no, it's, it's, it's tough, bro. It's
like, there, there's something to be said there. Like, of course, like take your time and think
about it and digress on it whenever you feel like it. But, um, it's just, it's amazing. Like
how different the communities and the cultures are like from here in the states and overseas
like I can speak to that with the Middle East like you can speak to that with Germany.
Jonathan go ahead I'll pass it over to Grateful Bro right after and then RDC.
Now on what you were saying with the kids and letting them be out there and what we used to
do when we were kids I'm with'm with you uh rdc because
when i needed to go from oklahoma to visit north carolina at 10 years old they put my mom put me
on the greyhound and i'm on the greyhound bus hustling to get more money because i spent all
my money so i'm selling cds and shit that i don't want to listen to no more to have money so i can
get more snacks,
you know, riding a bus. But you wouldn't normally put a 10-year-old on that 10-year-old to end up somewhere it ain't supposed to be, you know? And, um, I think that's the other thing that
goes around a lot today is that a predator back in the day, you used to, what they would say a
predator look like, you could actually see it. Now the predators don't look
like anything. They literally look like regular people. There's people's teachers and doctors,
you know, uh, bodyguards, like they're literally everywhere. You don't know who they are,
what they're doing. You don't know any of this information. So it definitely makes people a lot
more leery. And could say i'm i'm
i'm honest of i have that same problem as well but whenever my daughter will go over someone's
house i hung out at their house for a couple hours before i left like i got to really like
know them i don't play that game of me even somewhere and even that is old school jonathan
that's bro i feel like people don't even do that shit anymore.
My parents should do the same thing.
Bro, I would get dropped off to my bro's house when I was young.
My mom would come in with me, park the car up, chill in there for a couple of hours.
And then obviously her rapport was made where over time, if she wanted to come and chill with them naturally as friends now too, that's cool.
But there was a feeling out period in the very beginning
where that would go down like that that's an old school mindset in itself which is absurd
i didn't even think it was old school man like you you just messed me up with saying that because i
didn't even i didn't even think that was old school thinking my fuckers don't know each other's parents
you you are right about that i can't do it i have to know I have to know you have to get a vibe
I have a good sense of people when i'm in front of them
And I really know what's going on with them when i'm in front of them
So I go to the house because it it makes me feel better and me and my daughter got a code word
Like i've worked on a whole bunch of things with my daughter, but we got a code word if she texted me that code word
Daddy is coming to call some hell.
So you're going to let the motherfucker out the cage.
So as long as she never sends me that code, you won't see me on the news.
Jonathan, I love that, dude. Like the code word.
Me and my daughter had one. Like, you don't hear that enough.
People need to do that more because it's just about like teaching your kids what's what to
look out for and the sad thing is like statistically a predator will more likely come from family which
is crazy um but yeah like if you're just like parenting well they're gonna reflect that like
it's all coming down to like how you teach your kids i know some of this shit
sounds old school but i think like parents like me jonathan people that came from the 80s and
shit like that 90s babies we're like teaching and instilling this type of shit into our kids
so that's going to be a generation of like people that are raising another generation that is correct
in my opinion too and like for me like you guys are talking about like you didn't let your like kid ride around i i was like that too in the beginning
but like we lived in the hood and then i i moved us out to arizona and suburb suburb life and so
like i took her out of an environment that i knew that you had more, you know,
chances of like bad shit happening or you just got to watch yourself like
constantly.
So I don't know.
I think environment plays a huge part too,
not just like necessarily one country versus the other,
but just environment in general.
No, definitely. I feel what you're saying. I just, you know, of course I'm biased, like,
and I'm sure, I'm sure Cam goes through the same thing because like when you are in these,
but one, when you grow up in those environments, like you, you have a different connection to it
and you understand deeper why like you, your parents may have felt comfortable with you going
around at these times like as opposed to you doing the same with your kids here in the states
and again like in some of those smaller villages it's like bro you can you can find a stranger
that'll treat you fucking just as good as family like like first meeting. And that just is what it is. Like
I live here in New York. I was born and raised in New York. The, the contrast between a person
here in Manhattan specifically moving a hundred miles per hour and like really doesn't give a
fuck about you to like going over there, which like they go slow as possible and they're going
to treat you as like an individual and a real nice person no matter what. It's incredibly different.
I believe RDC was next.
What's going on, my G?
Yeah, I mean, he was saying totally true about overseas.
So I originally, I'm a West Pointer, and then I went oil and gas.
And so I've worked in over 25 countries and been to a bunch more.
It's wild to me what is made to be dangerous on TV, but then what's actually dangerous in real life.
Because I got washed out enough that I slept on the streets when I was working in Columbia.
I probably could have been a better adult.
But you know what happened to me? Nothing. I laid down and I got up. What happened
to me in there? I was like, oh man, we're going to pay you a coefficient because it's really
dangerous in West Africa. Cool, man. I got a giraffe named Jeffrey that lives over there
that somebody in a village gave me, you know, like you, I think they, I think the countries that have the strongest sense of social constructs and family are often looked upon the most negatively in the media.
Because if all of us stopped disliking each other for pick a fucking reason, politics, football team, we have all these social constructs designed to be
divisive toward the extent that people it's not that we can't find common ground it's that we
don't openly go and look for it and so i think if we had a little less of that and a bit more
of understanding that you know we might not all get the best, but none of us will get the
worst type stuff. Because like, I live in a really nice neighborhood now, like my kids is playroom
is bigger than the house I grew up in just the playroom part. And I really don't like anybody
that lives in this neighborhood, I feel more comfortable in the low income area, because it's
not the devil, you know, it it's i know exactly what these people
want need and feel so i know how to conduct myself and be of use like i trust these people because i
know they're not going to do this this this this and this these are the only bad things that will
happen to me here the the more money you get the more things you have to think the farther ahead
like the farther wider and the farther ahead that you have to think so that something bad
Won't happen to you and that's just to me
That's not a good life. That's why
I work from home. I've worked from home since 2018
Like I do intellectual property for all these kinds of companies because I just don't want to deal I read 48 laws of power
I understand how to deal with people and politics and international relations, but I don't want to
Because that's not that's not healthy for like human beings that are regular human
beings that like care about other human beings and so i think like what you guys are doing instilling
values of these things that like the community it's not like crypto community is everything it's
that in order to be successful someone has to make butter and shoes and potatoes and all these different things. So you need to recognize and like I tell my kids, you respect people in their workplaces, because you may be leaning on them for something that provides you support or sucker in a time when you don't make it. And so you have to really try to fill in the gaps in a community, be the thing that someone needs right then, especially if it only costs you your time.
Cause that's the one thing you get to choose to spend however you like.
Go ahead, Jonah. My bad. I just wanted to say RDC, you still live in Oklahoma?
I do, bro. I'm really up here. I'm up here in Edmond, like East Edmond, bro. Like with the
big yards and the 80 year old trees. It's wild you know exactly what you're talking about i've worked many of those neighborhoods
working for metro appliances now the one thing i will say in rdc i think you will understand is
the most craziest communities i ever been in with the most secrets and things going on are all of
the gated communities the richer the community was and the more gated it was
had the craziest secret of shit going in there.
And for some reason,
people can't not tell me
their in life story
or what secret shit they've done.
And me being in the houses with these women,
I've heard some of the craziest fucking stories
in these gated communities.
My wife sells multimillion dollar houses, right?
Because she makes more money than me now.
God bless her soul because I told her I quit this motherfucker tomorrow i'll stop doing all of it
you know what i mean because i cook better anyway uh so i'll i'll do it but the things people say
and the things that happen at these places that have like elevators inside of them and it's it's
it's pretty nice i mean oklahoma side so you're talking galardia and then some of these other
neighborhoods that don't have names yeah rose creek we just we were just pushing a house in
rose creek the other day that they own it outright 800 grand right but they don't have insurance so
they're just going to pay out to have certain things fixed i'm like you don't have homeowners
insurance like not even liability that's wild but you know you just like you just don't know how
people move and so it's it's always good to be I don't know, communication is the thing. Our generation has it not well, every the current generation has the most ways to communicate in the world that are the poorest communicators, you know, they can't say the way they feel.
They barter sentiments of other people because they want that brand or moniker because it is the thing at the time. And and sometimes it's like, you know, you could just be yourself because no one else can.
Right. So let's just do that because that's just the better thing to do.
But I mean, you know, it's hard for us as as humans
to to retrain society i mean hell my kid's homeschool bro and they're like ones in he's
11 he's in calculus and shit like that but man like i said that's the one that's autistic as
fuck i just worry about him but he's gonna be the accountant but not ben affleck type shit but
it's fine you know you never know being raised by you he might be i'll
let y'all know i'll let y'all i'll be like hey man i don't know if y'all got any trips to monte
carlo but like don't super sorry you know just i don't know man i just think the appreciation for
the community and i mean i gave away a 400 ladder to some dude at tractor supply the other day
because he said he didn't have one.
And he couldn't do the project or pay for it or something.
I was like, bro, just come to the house and you can just have one.
Because you will know this.
Contractors come over here to East Edmond and they want the money up front and they don't provide the service.
I have cement mixers, probably eight commercial ladders.
I had somebody start working on a fence and then leave all the rest of my stuff in dallas i had to go get it and build the thing myself like people don't
like once you get in the well-to-do area they want to charge you a lot but like not
provide or perform and i just get i give all that shit away i don't even care i just be getting to
strangers i don't pull up at the house my mailman comes to our damn family parties because i like
him he's cool as fuck i'm like like, man, come through. You should.
I'm not going to lie. Oklahoma City is like the it's been the it's been the place that's the nicest people that I've encountered.
And I'm from the South, from North Carolina, but they are some I have met some of the nicest people out there that have given me things that no one could ever imagine.
They have given me things that no one could ever imagine.
You know what I'm saying?
Like I'm talking about traveling the world, but for a tip, a woman gave me a bottle of wine from Italy as a tip.
I looked the bottle up.
The bottle was like worth $30.
She had a case of them because she didn't like American wine.
Bro, China's cooked.
I don't know if you've ever been to China, but I did IP and they flew me over there, which I won't make that mistake again because then I couldn't leave for a spell because of what I was working on.
And there's not an option for that.
And it's fine.
I'm not saying it's good, bad or indifferent.
Like, it's good business practice on them, but kind of bad on, you know, the freedom and shit.
But it wasn't bad because, I mean, they took me to do shit every day.
Like, they took me to Moody On You, Stairway to Heaven, to see all these teams.
They took me all to do this cool shit, but they wanted to make sure that the shit that i created was like lined out before i left right but the people there i mean street like
chengdu 16 million people you could eat off the street there it was it was wild and the sidewalks
would be 75 yards you know and then a two-lane street you're like this is the most upside down this
shit i've ever seen him and i took all the illegal pictures i could oh you can't take picture there
mr loaded no man i'm gonna go ahead and pull up on that what they gonna do they already said i
can't leave you can't put me in jail till i'm done at least i'm gonna have my good time you know
fuck it we ride you know but i'm a goon too don't do dumb shit you know you shouldn't
fuck it we ride you know but i'm a goon too don't do dumb shit you know you shouldn't
buy a good stories you know i mean but i don't know it's like you said just i think the most
important thing is to like help people understand that you can be unique you know just like a piece
on a chessboard you might do different things than everybody else but you are the color of a team
that needs all the pieces to win and so just be cognizant of all of
the rest of the moving pieces so that you know the time that you need help it's little more than
you know the best person because your circle is tight that's it we uh i was gonna say rdc i'm
glad you mentioned that because we had this discussion a couple of shows back about I made it a point to come on here and talk about like appreciating people with trades and day jobs and like realizing like when you should take the time to pick something like that up.
It's vital. And we obviously went into the into the root of talking about like the beekeepers, like me and Jonathan were talking about the local honey and all that stuff.
But it's definitely a huge thing for me is like appreciating the people who do go out and work
that nine to five. Like you need that person. You need people who give haircuts. You need the
laundromat. You need all that stuff. So it's vital to society to make it keep going. And the other
thing that you mentioned, honestly, I forgot. Yo, Cam, what's good?
Oh, sorry about that.
I raised my hand.
Oh, yeah.
It was a while back.
Jonathan had mentioned something about, you know, like back in the day, you know, we knew what predators look like.
You know, like you could look at them and see, you know what I'm saying?
And nowadays, you know, just be the common people. And I was just going to say, I was just thinking about that. And I was like, you know, yeah, that's kind of true. You know, if you take what like
information we receive, like what the news put out and stuff like that, this is what a predator
looks like, you know, this is that. And I think today, we're just more, we're more aware that
a predator, you know, is just, you know, can just look a predator you know is just you know can just look
like a common person you know can just look like that neighbor next door um you know because we
have all this access to information and social media and stuff and you know different news
outlets and stuff that are actually you know saying hey you know i know you're used to you
know this version of you know a predator but here's the reality of the
situation it's the you know rich guy you know the quiet rich guy in the neighborhood house you know
or something like that you know you know and so we're more aware uh of that just because of the
media outlets and the information and access to the media and then i feel also like back in the
day like you know that type of information would be suppressed.
You know, like, you know, say some rich guy back in the 80s got caught up on something.
Right. There was way it was way easier for them back then to pay their way out of it.
Keep it keep it quiet so that, you know, people didn't find out.
You know what I mean? And they just go on about the, you know, dirty old business and shit.
You know what I'm saying? And now nowadays it's not as easy that, you know, rich people still could pay their way out of
things, but you know, people still, you know, now more likely someone don't care. They'll put out,
put your business out. You're going to come after them. That's, you know, that's how they make a
living. You know, it's by you coming after them type shit, you know, uh, you know, all the, all
the news features and reporters and, you know, know shit like that that we got out nowadays. So shit bro to your point the catholic church
They pay anywhere from three to seven percent of their total yearly budget in lawsuits for a certain thing, right?
You know we never had access to that information while you know years back, you know, but how long has that been occurring?
You know what i'm saying? How long has it been happening? And we just, you know, society and normal people just didn't know
about it. You know what I mean? Damn, a long time, bro. They did a documentary. A quarter of a million
children through the Catholic church have been met with. And that's just the Catholic church
and just think regular society and people in general, you know what I'm saying? How many, you know, victims there were that, you know, people looked at there, you know,
that may have spoke out of it like, nah, that's a good guy in the village. He would have never
done that. You know what I'm saying? And, and, uh, you know, how many times has that occurred
and shit like that, you know? And 97% of the wealth of Ecuador is owned by three families.
You know, the type of shit that happens down there i just like you you would never i know you didn't know when i just now told you
because i didn't know when i pulled up and i was like what the fuck that's wild man that's the type
of shit when somebody tells you like no i'm gonna head out i don't even give a fuck what y'all pay
now that's a lot man that's just a i know how to stack the deck and i'm gonna have to i'm not to
peel i'm just gonna stay home for the next one I went one time and that was it
I'm I got to catch me on Google Meets or something. I can't be I can be troubled to go back down. That's that's I'm that's leery man
Yeah, whenever somebody controls, you know controls information or access and stuff like that, you know
Yeah, you're in their hands, you know what I mean? And just nowadays societies, you know grav their hands you know what I mean and just nowadays societies you know gravitated to
you know we have so much access to information and media and content and stuff that you know
a little man can get his message out there you know saying and say hey you know this is the real
deal and a lot of people are going to hear about it versus back in the day we only got information
from mainstream media you know what I mean? And controlling that information was like, you know what I'm saying?
That was controlled by the powers that be.
So, yeah, I was just thinking that when he had mentioned that, you know,
my mind started pondering on it a little bit.
But, yeah.
I love it, bro.
I love it.
I love all the information.
Only because I didn't grow up with a computer or, or any of those things to kind of get it. So I've been so happy with,
with the information,
the books that I read,
the audible book.
I own like,
I think I own like 201 audible books now.
And,
I just,
well,
man,
I like learning bro.
And my brain will just hold all this information and somebody may talk about
something and then it'll pull itself to the forefront. And then I'll, you know, speak my, speak my piece on it. I just, um, I just think
that people need to utilize the information properly. Uh, cause that's usually the messed
up part. Yeah. What's nice about it is like, you know, like that, you know, when I was young and
you was young, you know, like if someone mentioned something to you right in a
conversation you're like oh that's interesting right you could go home and maybe look up it
look it up if you if you were lucky enough to have a set of encyclopedias get them britannicas boy
for sure you know what i mean that was our information it is who had the latest copy
of the set of encyclopedias because you had the most
update information in the world you know i mean if you had the latest copy i'm coming to your
house when i need to write my reports when i need to look up something you know i mean i'm looking
it up but i had to take like it took a physical journey to get to that information or to get to
the library to look at things up, to look up microfiche.
You know, some of y'all probably don't even know what microfiche and microfilm is.
You know what I mean?
And looking up information and trying to find out things and research.
You know, now if somebody mentions something to you and it sparks something in your mind,
you just, within seconds, you can look it up and be a professional talking about it
damn near.
You know what I mean?
Within seconds, you know.
And so, like, if we use that, you know, Jonathan, like, if we use that access to information, right, and not, you know, we're not leery of it, you know what I'm saying, of this intelligence that we're able to reach and is generated to us, you know, that's when it's going to elevate you know humanity you know in my in my
opinion you know did you know what's crazy to you okay go ahead no i'm just gonna say it's facts on
that and your encyclopedia stuff i had all of them i had a wall of encyclopedias in my house
i ain't read none of them motherfuckers of the kid because I did not care. I wish I had them now, but as a kid,
we had all of them. I literally had an entire wall of every psychopedia that you could possibly
think of over everything. Never looked at them, but you are right about that information because
a lot of times when somebody says something, I will look it up immediately to correlate what
they said or learn more about it and it really changes
everything i taught that to my daughter very early with uh youtube because she used to be on youtube
just dilly dally shilly shallying on there and she'd be like i'm trying to learn it i said well
you're on youtube right and she was like yeah i was like well then you could learn it i was like
youtube was a learning tool okay so use it to learn.
So when I told her that, since she's homeschooled, she took it to heart.
So she was on there learning on how to create her own YouTube channel,
how to draw her stop-motion digital artwork that she was doing.
All the shit that she's done with her channel,
and she's learned how to build a discord on her own on a on a weekend to learn all that shit on YouTube
Utilizing the information the way it should that's that's and that's what that's what it's just supposed to do
You know, I see my mom was a teacher. So like anytime I got in trouble
She's gonna pick a page and I had to go grab an encyclopedia pick a page and start writing
and just write
I had to copy what was in there and write it down
you know what I mean
and she'd go
that'd be nice I just got my ass whooped
I did get my ass whooped too
while I was crying
while I was crying and sucking it up
then I had to go pick a page
I wasn't going to put my mom out there on the ass whooping, but yes, I did get the ass whooping.
I had to go pick a page.
You got that ass whooping and you didn't took a nap.
When you wake up, you feel right as rain.
Your ass still kind of hurts a little bit.
But that's like the best nap ever is after an ass whooping.
I hate to say that, but I guess that's taking the good with the bad.
Tears in my...
I know, right?
Like a million dollars.
You're like, man, I feel good.
My ass still kind of hurts, but
be good. It's a release.
What y'all feel about
generation of kids today who ain't never
been spanked?
You know what I mean?
I refuse to do that
because I learned
over time that
spanking some children
may need it, I would say,
but I don't think most children do.
I just learned that what happened was
I took out my anger on my kid and then I would say, but I don't think most children do. I just learned that what happened was,
is I took out my anger on my kid and then they internalize it.
And it didn't really help me as a kid.
All the ass whooping did was make it easier for me
to do all the bad stuff I was doing
because once I got used to it,
because I got whooped every day till I was 15.
And when I got used to it, it was really,
my mom couldn't do nothing with me after that because she could whoop me on my back, my arms
or anything. And I just stood there and just stared at her because I didn't feel it no more.
So I want to do something different with my daughter. I talked to her. I have real conversations
about things that she's doing. And i really ask her questions so she can understand
and realize that what she did was dumb and how she should have done it the next time and i also
learned that um whenever your kid do something wrong or whenever my daughter did something wrong
i used to like just get fucking angry right off of the bat until i realized one day they're there
that's a brand new fucking person on the
planet. If they've done it the first time and they've messed up, why would you yell at them
and scare the shit out of them right off of the bat when they don't even know they're trying to
learn and, and do different things like anybody else would do. So I realized that talking to her
is much smarter as well as I'm training my child. If I beat on her and yell at
her and cuss at her, I'm training her to be in a mental and physical abusive relationship.
Because every time I, every time you usually get a whooping or something, a lot of parents will feel
bad and they give you something nice or whatever. And then you forget about it when you getting
beat on or getting mental abuse. What does the person always do? They go out and buy you something nice or they treat you nice and mull it over.
So I realized I didn't want my daughter.
I didn't want to train her to be in a mental and physical abusive relationship by doing
that.
I want her to be able to notice what's going on and to back out like I'm out.
I don't want to look at this, though.
There's like there's a lot of different ways you can you could approach this, too, though.
And that's a that's a brilliant point as well, Jonathan, because I didn't really think about that.
What happens in those relationships is the woman is crying off in the corner and then the man comes over.
Oh, baby, it's all right.
But regardless of that, there's different forms of beating your kid.
I've heard about some Spanish cultures.
They make their kids meal on rice and stuff like that. That's like borderline,
like a little too far, you know, for me, that's like torture kind of like tactics. And then like,
there's the beatings. Like I was getting, I was getting hit by fucking slippers, wooden spoons.
And this was up until I was six foot. My, my four foot nine mother was still hitting me with all
that shit, bro. Didn't matter how big
I was. I was still getting hit. And she like, you know, I was still learning my lesson. There's no,
it goes back to what I was saying. There's no blueprint. So, I mean, it may work for some,
it may not work for others. And then the toxic parenting thing, like it worked for me. Is it
going to work for my kid? I don't, I personally don't think so. I'm probably not going to take
that route. But, um, I think there's also the other end of the spectrum where some kids have gone too far.
Like back when that bad baby girl was like super prominent and she was like,
disrespected her mother to a point where like, she was like, and there was kids like physically
abusing their parents. Like that's too far on the other side of the spectrum gang like we shouldn't allow
the fear of CPS being
CPS being called on me to allow my kid to fucking take over and be the man of the house now
And a lot of the parents have at that point in the traditional ones They'll say like I told my kid like you want to call CPS and leave go ahead
Fuck it. Like you've got to learn that lesson
Go ahead RDC leave go ahead fuck it like you've got to learn that lesson go ahead uh rdc
i think jonathan was before me oh that's nice of you jonathan what's going on
uh i just wanted to say a couple things on that but one when i told my mom i was gonna call them
because she was you know about to whoop me she said go ahead and call them because i bet you
it's gonna be exactly there than what it is here. And the other thing is, is I told my mom, I hated her. I probably
was like eight, nine years old. And she said, well, you know what? I hate you too. You want
to leave? I was like, yeah, bro. It's nine o'clock at night. It's dark outside. She gave me, she
packed all my shit, sent me outside and closed the door and locked it just long enough for 10
minutes for me to lose my shit and come
back in the house so there are different tactics to use you know what i'm saying um but i i really
i really used to laugh at my friend who had he had twins but he would always be talking about
all these baby books that his girl told him he got to read and he was like why are you laughing
at me i was like i'm laughing at you is because there is no fucking book that you could do for that. You have to go through it and play it by ear based on your child.
I was like, not only that, they were raising fucking people when they were drawing pictures
on a wall and not having conversations. Like, I think you're going to be okay. I was like,
the other thing is it turns into a hypochondriac. You learn all this stuff and then you're thinking
you're seeing symptoms,
but you're not. Kind of like the same thing they do when you start learning psychology.
They sit there and tell you that you'll think you have all these symptoms for this different stuff,
but you really don't. So people taking psychology courses will think that they have every single
mental problem that they're a subject that they're learning and really they don't.
So I just feel that you need to pull something out to learn it when you need to figure something out.
Having all the information right up front sometimes could be a detriment to yourself.
I think sometimes, too, we have to teach ourselves to be people who always look for a way out and not a way in.
And I will tell you, the orphanage does suck. We got pulled from our homes when I was a kid. And actually, wildly enough,
I met my mom one time when she turned me down to take me for custody because I reminded her of my
dad. That's the one time I met her when I was like eight. And then we got stuffed off in the
orphanage or I did by myself. She took my sister. And so I spent like six months there. And like,
to this day, I don't eat puff Cheetos and I don't eat colored spiral pasta not for the flavor but just
You know, maybe as a reminder, it's a thing. I mean, it's a stupid thing
But i'm allowed to have my own stupid things because i'm an adult right?
But you know my dad will die in prison and I thought the shit that happened to us when we were kids
I thought it was the 80s and people just hit you with shovels and shit like that
And as it turns out, this is not the appropriate way. I don't The shit that happened to us when we were kids, I thought it was the 80s and people just hit you with shovels and shit like that.
And as it turns out, this is not the appropriate way.
I don't I don't really raise my hands to my children.
I don't even raise my voice because the the volume of my voice does not dictate the veracity or the quality of my argument.
It just makes it just drowns out all the rest of them. And so that's kind of like, do you teach a kid to swim during a monsoon?
No, because they'll drown.
Right.
So why would you be a tempest of a human when you're trying to have some discourse?
It's a nonsensical option, but it's still hard to do because like you passion and zealotry.
These are all things that are bred into people like I love this or I i hate people that do that or i don't give a
shit what people do especially if it doesn't affect me like you have to live your own best life
and do your own shit and the one thing i tell my children because all i do is take them overseas i
go if somebody loves some shit that you don't love maybe you missed something right because if you
don't love the stealers have you ever been to a Steelers game?
Have you been in the pub before or a tailgate?
Then you can't hate the Steelers because you don't hate shit that's strange to you.
That's that's what stupid people do. You need to understand how that shit works so that you can either understand why you don't like it or understand why someone else loves it.
And and that's a that's another thing I strongly believe in like
Everywhere in the world is in a different time zone and sometimes in a different season and you have to realize it as a human being
So are you sometimes?
When there's nothing blossoming in the winter of your current status in life
You have to go revel in someone else's summer just so you can feel the
warmth of the sun like you got to draw other people's happiness sometimes to keep it pushing
and i mean that's it's like i don't know that's why i tell my kids that because they like totally
different shit my wife likes totally different shit than i do and that's my favorite thing about
her because she'll never talk to me about some shit that i know about you know what i mean and
i'll never talk to her about some shit that I know about. You know what I mean? And I'll never talk to her about some shit that she knows about.
And so you just have to accept, appreciate, and carry enough intelligence to understand what they're talking about so that you can appreciate that they live the thing.
And it was important because you just need that diversity in society or else we'd all be eating fucking oatmeal every meal.
You know what I mean?
You need that dude who's like, man, you know what happens if you put this amaretto peach pecan sour stuff on some ribs?
You get you get full and you take a nap at a stranger's house.
Like that's the type of shit that you need in your life.
That's what I'm making today.
So I'm about to have some people napping at my house.
So, I mean, you already know.
But damn, I wish I was in Oklahoma because I would definitely be at you. You know what else I'm about to have some people napping at my house. So, I mean, you already know, but damn, I wish I was in Oklahoma. Cause I would definitely be at your, you know what else I'm
about to have. These guys don't even know the tip. I got non-breads. So I made these tiny non-breads
and I'm about to season them up. And I got some, uh, one of my buddies just moved back from the
States where it was my first friend. When I moved to Oklahoma, I'm originally from Los Angeles.
And then we moved to Oklahoma. I lived to murder one. So first time I got stabbed, I was 10. Like
it was, but then I taught people how to do trust and they stopped dumping me.
So see, I brought finance to the neighborhood. Right. And one of my buddies went to the he went to the pen for 12 years.
And then when he got out, I helped him get a passport because one of my friends is the director of intelligence for the U.S. Army.
A West Point boy. And so I took him overseas and we got to go see them cinnamon skin devils in argentina and colombia
and and if you don't know those are just
Women who are, you know built for you know built for speed pleasure, whatever you want to call it, right?
That's what I call them cinnamon skin devils
But we got to go do that we we bought his mama house in florida and got her out of the hood
like we made a bunch of money in a bunch of different countries and
Like you did we I got laid over in
2009 was that when there was that ice uh earthquake or
the volcano in iceland we got stuck in amsterdam on paid days so we made 1300 a day and i was like
i'm about to get a euro pass we better ride trains for the next six days we scheduled a flight out
six days later and we just rode trains all over europe dumb but it was fun it was cool man because
you know for for that six days,
he was Galen and he wasn't G, you know what I mean? Like we sometimes like opening yourself up
to a different world allows you to be a version of yourself that you didn't know existed. Like,
you know, the same thing about, like I said, letting people fail when you, you have to let
your children fall so that the person they're going to
become can catch them right like that's the that's the way you you have to think you have to you have
to let people reason out the logic of failure because that's the foundation of success right
let them let them build like like let them cook don't let them destroy each other right but you
know you might let them trip one time maybe when they're first learning to walk trip them a couple times let them know the world's a shit place maybe don't
do that but you know something pick something i don't know i mean i's yeah it's it's scary though
bro like every time it's well you get better and better over the years by letting them do that
but man i'm telling you as like new parents, man, when they start getting to the stuff where they really want to learn things themselves and try things out, man, you don't want to help them.
And every time you see something that doesn't go right, you don't want to grab them and say everything.
And you can't do that every time.
And I know that because me being a father with my daughter, I was like that a lot.
Me being a father with my daughter. I was like that a lot like I would always be there, but I realized that
She started resenting me for that because i'm not allowing her to live not allowing her to be herself
Because I always wanted her to be a certain way when we went out, but I I just I just really realized that um
I gotta let my daughter be who she is because if I can't let her be who she is then'm not around, she's going to try to be this cookie cutter thing when that's not her personality.
But you got to be, you know, you got to be there to help, too.
You know, I mean, I totally see what you're saying.
Dude, mine.
She came up to me after a dance competition.
She's 10.
And she said, I don't like that.
I went every dance competition.
And so at that point, we got to understand his dad. She's not seeking an emotional response. She's seeking a logical solution to the problem, because sometimes they just want you to shut the fuck up and hug and listen. Right. And this wasn't that time. I was like, well, I mean, when you get done with your schoolwork during the day, you don't really do a lot. You're kind of a fucking potato.
do a lot, you're kind of a fucking potato. So maybe I'll just set a timer every 45 minutes,
we get up and we do some shit. And then you practice your dances two times each every single
day. I want 30 minutes to an hour out of you every single day. And we did that. And about two weeks
ago, she won overall points for dance nationals for 10 year olds and solos, right? And so I'm
happy for her that she won, but i'm happy that she got some validation
that if she works harder her results will be significantly different right like as a parent
i don't give a fuck that she won i'm happier that she saw like oh man i can turn the fuck up on
these people she learned a lesson i just work more yeah 100 and so I mean my parents never saw me like well for sure parents
but I mean my my dad never watched me wrestle you know how many championship rings I have
a fuck ton I won national state all kinds of shit by myself right and so it makes me tear up when I
watch my kids do shit because it's like man this is what's this is what somebody missed out on like watching the
thing you made do some shit for sure that i can't do bro because i promise you when she does that
the best she's like dad you want to try this ballet thing man fuck no i'm not going to try
that i'm gonna let you hold that you can play the instruments too i'll stay over here on the software
and the chemistry and and and i can do the outdoor shit with the hammers and the wrenches I think I'll get all that and then you just you know
You you be the art and you just be that and I'll just watch I just you know
You cook that up for me
I put her piano in my office because it was funny when she sucks and it's great now that she's great
I'm always enjoying you know, I mean, there's no bad time when you're a parent
You got to laugh at him when they suck sometimes to yourself
That's fine
Wait, wait, wait, wait
Hold on a second You got to laugh at them when they suck sometimes to yourself. That's fine. Wait, wait. Hell yeah, bro.
Hold on a second.
Hell yeah.
Can we go back to somehow we skimmed over the seasoned non-bread, right?
I heard seasoned non-bread.
Okay.
So, bro, this is the ticket.
So you take the non-bread and you put it on a cookie sheet, right?
I love that shit.
And then you put, pick a cheese.
I've got some, this wine cheese that I get from Europe.
But there's no such thing as a bad cheese. And if somebody tells you that, probably should be deported. You know, I mean, maybe to the prisons in El Salvador. I don't know. But you put some cheese on there and then pick your meat. Sometimes some of my do bacon hand like is it prosciutto? Take your pick. And then on top, you either put I like Mike's hot honey or for some of them them and then or you put a jelly on them and then
you bake them in the oven until the honey looks like it's tacky because then it makes the non-bread
kind of have like a crisp on the bottom it's like kissing jesus on the mouth even if you don't
believe in them it's too good it's too good bro i make them shits and not a single one of them survives i want to do it man it's turned up it's only like it's my i don't know there's a we have a syrian lady that works
for us and she taught me a whole bunch of like shawarma shit and then i showed her the thing
with the non bread and she's like how did you make a desert dish fat camp oh because i'm from here
that's what we do here make everything better in our hearts like you
You might not believe in the foods or the places these foods are from but you will believe it's good in your heart
Because it tastes so fucking good. It doesn't matter even if it's poison. Just still eat it, bro
You're gonna have to dm me. You're fucking right, bro
She's fucking high-ass cam over here. Um, yeah, no, I'm with you. I'm with you on that one
Um crd or cdr. Damn
Yeah
Why are you talking about
You gotta I gotta talk shit and so
He's man's eating a snack pack with a spoon upside down not giving a fuck. I got it all turned up bro. I'm in
Let me get my shoes
on i'm going to the gas station i only need one shoe to get in it's 7 11. what you go what you
gonna do right um but i will say that i did learn a lot from from growing up with asians on like how
they fix foods how to not have a lot of food but still make a really good meal. And I've eaten a lot of shit with them that smells like straight fucking garbage,
but it tastes so damn good.
And people really need to, you know, explore.
You know, that's really what we all talking about,
exploring different things
and getting outside of the box
and just kind of living life a little bit more like a child.
Looking at your kids,
you will learn that if you really pay attention and study them,
that the way they live, being a lot younger, is the way we're supposed to be living as adults.
It makes every day seem more of an adventure.
But you know we get caught up with adult shit and everything,
but we have to learn not to embark that kind of thinking on our children
to allow them to still be themselves as children, you know, because a lot of kids grow up fast.
And it's they they remember those kind of things when they get a lot older and they try to figure out, you know, who they actually are.
So you just have to allow them to be kids, man, and have fun. But RDC, I remember those days being a dance dad.
I was the only single parent dance dad that was at every single practice, competition.
And I love that shit.
I love to sit there and watch these girls develop from being beginners to being as good as they are.
And I love ballet.
I love all the classical music. So I feel you on that one. Just watching my kid just dance and do her thing and, you know,
become more of who she is. That shit was like the best thing to watch. And I had tears in my eyes
many times watching her do that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's real shit. It's food for the soul,
man. I mean, the nature of humanity is is competition and so you just have to not nurture
your kids and something that you want but nurture them in some shit that they want because that's
the thing that they'll be the best in is is just the thing that they like to do you should you know
let them do it twice with no shoes on i ain't wearing shoes right now i'm country as hell i
hate wearing shoes that's the reason why country as hell. I hate wearing shoes.
That's the reason why I want to live somewhere where it's warm all the time.
Cause I don't like wearing shoes. That's why I only work from home. It literally, cause I don't like putting on shoes.
That's a hundred percent. The only reason like I do, I mean,
I work for an oil and gas company like technology engineering software,
but I own a software company too on the side.
And I just do intellectual property for you picking international gambling.
Just like it's all types of projects i've done everything from like i have a pharmaceutical one
that's that's uh gartner's picked up right now and like it's just so many different things but
i just don't like you know like the social construct of dealing with people in a professional
space is generally unprofessional because they'll talk about shit that has nothing to do like i'm
an objective base like what are we going to do today to make this move forward if nothing fuck i'm going to leave
because if i have to go somewhere someone someone's you know someone's getting fired or something's
getting funded that's normally what happens if i if i have to show up someone someone's getting
fired or something's getting funded like that's it because because i just don't want to i have no interest in it i've done all the i've done all the american social discourse
you know face to face that i'm interested in because people in a public workspace are
most of the time caustic like that's those situations are caustic you have to like watch
all the things you can't be honest with people because they could around and sue you
for it i would never expose my company like that because my best friend's president, you know
So I just I just stay home save us money in HR. You know what I mean?
I'm with you on that one. I'm trying to
I'm trying to keep growing that that work from home thing myself because I figured if my daughter's home school
I want to be at home with her. I want to be able to take a field trip someday to
Wherever the fuck I want to take it and not have a problem. I also want to be able to take a field trip someday to wherever the fuck i want to take
it um and not have a problem i also want to do more traveling and her being homeschool i could
still we could do that anywhere as long as there's internet access there's just a lot of freedom well
my oldest is being able my oldest is 18 and he's a stranger to me because he you know he got taken
when i was overseas when i was younger like they know, we split on that as human beings.
But now I work from home.
I make my kids breakfast.
We have chickens.
Go get your fucking eggs.
It's time to eat.
You know what I mean?
Like we they don't really like that type of shit in Edmund.
But guess who doesn't give a shit?
Uncle Renzo.
Man, there's a lot of homes up there that's got fucking chicken coops in the back because I haven't been to a lot of them motherfuckers.
They try to hide it. Yeah, they try to hide that. But I've been all the eggs I was given for free.
We're all in Edmond area. So they got a lot of a lot of chickens up there.
But it is a great feeling to make breakfast for your kids to wake up in the morning and not have that immediate stress.
for your kid to wake up in the morning and not have that immediate stress. Like I got to
fucking run around real fast to get things ready for my day, make sure my kids ready,
get them off the school. Then I got to get to work, make sure I pick them up, get them.
It is a huge stress. I feel off of the child as well as the adult. If you're able to, uh,
circumvent your life to be able to make money from home and be able to have your kid homeschooled as
well you know you were saying something a little bit ago about like nurturing a kid and stuff like
that so you know my son and my grandbaby live with me and uh she was drawing uh yesterday we
were like coloring and drawing and stuff and she started she's only she's just turned three
and she like drew a face and put two eyes and a mouth and ears and then arms and
then legs and shit and i was like wait a second you're only three years old like her perspective
was just i was i was blown away you know what i mean and uh so i went uh when my son took her
back after we was hanging out i ran to the store i bought like paint books paint uh i bought every
every type of art book i could find
at the store it's real shit right there man good on you bro she woke up this morning i was like i
was like look what papa got like we literally spent like an hour just like putting stickers on
faces and drawing and coloring but like this girl like i don't know like i've been around some kids
i don't remember three-year-olds ever drawn like this you know maybe, I don't know, like I've been around some kids. I don't remember three year olds ever drawn like this.
You know, maybe I'm a little biased because I'm Papa.
But I was like, yeah, she's about to be she's about to be an artist.
Hey, tell her to get to work on your 401k, bro.
Hey, Papa needs to retire.
You need to go on.
You either need to make some good art or make some art that I can fake leverage to the bank, borrow money against and then burn it.
You know what I mean?
Like, you got to think about me for a minute.
Yeah, you know, all she's, you know, I look like this whole blockchain thing too, like having a grandkid.
Like, when she, all she's going to know is this technology that we're playing around in.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's all she's going to know is blockchain tech.
So, like, regular, you know, Web2 be long gone in an instant memory.
You know what I'm saying?
By the time she gets of age to use anything.
You know what I mean? gone in an instant memory you know i'm saying by the time she gets of age to to use anything you know i mean because she's already you know these kids are now she's already using an ipad and
navigating it better than me going into settings and shit facetiming my daughter like you know i'm
like what are you doing she's like she's like i'm talking to ali i was like wait a second you call
ali she's like like i was like you was watching a movie and you said there it went to FaceTime and called your aunt. Like, OK, you know, I mean, but like, yeah, these kids, you know, I'm just nurture it.
You know what I mean? So, you know, art's a thing and we got Web3 to push it.
You know, who knows? She may end up being an artist on some collection that goes crazy.
You know what I mean? We'll see.

I smoked the little small ones, the little
baby ones. No, they're called Blondies.
They're Blondies.
Okay, like a cigarello?
It's small like a cigarette I guess you could say

Damn, how the hell did Nessie sneak up in here?

And the same way that he's sneaking in and out of this space is the same way he's going to be sneaking out of New York without an ass whooping, man.
You better be coming up here for this fucking basketball game, gang.
Profits, get your mans, bro.
Like, I'm tired of this.
I am tired of this. This man comes
back every two months rejuvenated
as fuck, talking to no shit.
I'm feeling fucking fresh right now, bro.
It's like, bro, like,
what are we doing here, bro?
What are we really doing?
Yo, Nessie's hilarious, dog.
I've never ducked the smoke, for the record.
I have never ducked the smoke, and I am going to beat you one-on-one.
It's just whenever you get the connuption to get on the court, bro.
Like, set it up.
Connuption, gumption, I got all of it, gang.
Get ready to pull the fuck up, man.
Man, stop it.
You kind of hit me
Hit my brain sideways with the connuption right there
I don't think I've heard that one said in a long ass time
That was in the monococlopedias, Jonathan
You gotta be digging in the thesaurus to describe the actions that he has taken
Like, I don't even
You know what I'm saying? Indubitably
Oh, shit Man, this is a good fucking day I love you guys man i love being here every saturday
um and if i have something to do i just be thinking damn i wonder what they're talking
about this saturday i'll always on my mind this is great fucking space you bro i really do
appreciate you know just being able to connect with all you guys and having you as friends in this space and shit like that and having this.
I'd appreciate you seeing me on the court.
Hold on. Let me mute this.
And then, yeah.
So aside from that, though, you know, it's crazy, too, Jonathan, is I woke up today feeling like kind of like sick and groggy.
Then I did the meeting with the homie Coke.
We had a great convo and I already knew the the bros were busy today because
they got stuff going on so i was like yo fuck it let's just go have some fun today and man it ended
up being such a banger space talking about like real valuable uh shit just constant conversation
and it was awesome like that's just how you materialize or manifest a great day ahead of you
materialize or manifest a great day ahead of you?
Fuck yeah. Always need it, man. Always need it. My times for that manifestation is in the
morning after I drop my niece off. I come back and have a cigar and a cup of coffee on the porch.
You know, the birds and everything show up. And I just dream. Dream of the positive things I want
in my day, in my life and
Try not to think about my current situation because if I think about it too much
It's gonna pull me back down and I can't do that
I got too much shit to do too much to achieve and
Too many people to free so it's it's um
It's a great way to start your day and i've done that a few times too where my uh
Non-smoking section i be like you know
it hit like nine o'clock eight o'clock but man i want to fucking go to sleep i don't even want to
do this shit but then every time i go and do the space anyway it ends up being a fucking dope-ass
space and i'm like i'm so glad that i i just pushed through it yes bro and it's an amazing
feat as well like you feel proud as well. Yo, Profits, let me ask you a question, gang.
Dime it all.
Angel Investor gives you $100,000 right now.
What are you investing in?
I'm investing in an event to beat
you one-on-one because clearly money is the only thing
that's going to bring you on the court to play against
because you're scared. You got that right.
I give Profits $100,000 to be to be like hey can you just set up this event for
me so that i could just beat rami i don't even need no money from this i'm just trying to get
this dub so i can just move on with my life um great question that's funny as shit but um without
giving out too much information uh you know exactly what it's going to.
It's going into what I'm currently building right now.
I keep saying that.
If I woke up tomorrow with a million dollars in my bank account that is mine, it would
be fully invested into Exposed Media and the new project that I'm putting together.
Not an NFT project, but yeah.
Great question.
That's why I ask questions and to talk to people in this exact way. I say, imagine you had everything
you needed to excel and succeed, whether it's funds, resources, or whatever. Act as if. And
when you act as if, it's a weird magical thing that occurs with God and the universe and your efforts.
And resources and things start to come about.
And I'm pretty sure I carry this mentality from when I first learned about self-development when I was 19 years old.
And that was because I wanted to master sales.
And so the sales gurus were like, master self-development and then you'll get better at sales. So I got obsessed with self-development books and like Tony Robbins
and shit like that. And it's very much so about the quality of questions that we ask ourselves
that determine our success and our outcome of life, as well as acting as if. Like not fake
it till you make it. Not saying that motherfuckers i'm saying
if if you had a perfect world where you had all the sources and funds like i just said
what would you do and a lot of people can't even answer that and then they're like oh how am i
gonna be successful what do i you don't even know what the fuck you want figure out what you want
first cuz um sorry for that.
But yeah,
bro,
I clearly haven't smoked today.
So my energy is on 17 million at the moment.
I mean,
we see,
we see that right now,
but what you said is right though,
because that's what they talk about with a manifestation and being an
alchemist and all that.
You,
you really have to do that.
You have to do it every day.
You have to do it every single day You have to do it every single day.
Because once you do it long enough,
I think it's, what, 60 days?
It becomes like a part of your psyche
of whatever you're doing.
If you do it long enough, it will happen.
And you are right.
The universe will mold and shape things around you
to actually correlate and go with
what you've actually been dreaming of
or acting as if
It's very very important. You are right because if you're looking for doom and gloom, don't worry motherfucker
You're gonna find it if you're looking for happiness drive and good people you're gonna find that too
So on either end it doesn't matter if it's good or bad
It's still right because it's what you've manifested from the etheric to the reality
So be be cognizant of what you think manifested from the etheric to the reality. So be, be cognizant
of what you think. A lot of people hear the word manifestation and they'll think of like some,
some like shit where you just have to think about something and it's going to magically appear,
but it's more so about the idea of hyper fixating on something that you really want.
And of course, inevitably over time, you're going to get better or progress towards that goal.
And like, um, even on a lesser scale, like what do people always tell you?
Like dress the part because eventually you'll fucking end up being that thing that you are acting as like fake it till you make it.
Yeah, not necessarily. But, you know, there is something to be learned in that lesson.
Yo, six, talk to me, baby. What's going on?
Talk to me, baby.
What's going on?
What's up, y'all?
What's up, y'all? What's going on?
What's going on?
What's up?
Wake and Bake Radio, Exposed Media.
I'm over here eating some oatmeal.
I was about to say, that shit sounds yummy as fuck, my nigga.
Can I get some?
No, for sure, for sure.
I'm going to send my chef to you, man.
Oatmeal, peanut butter, and some fruit, man.
You know, just enjoying this beautiful motherfucking day
um fuck what's up with you man what's up it feels good how you you been, bro? How's your Twitter break been? It's fucking good right now, man. You ain't miss shit. You ain't miss shit over here, bro.
Market.
We miss you, but you ain't miss shit.
It's been good, bro.
It's been good.
This is the thing.
It's like, for a second, I caught myself pouring more into the app and the people that don't appreciate it than what they was pouring into me.
and the people that don't appreciate it than what they was pouring into me.
You know?
sometimes look at it as,
you know,
it is what it is.
We just hanging out.
But fuck that.
Fuck that.
I'm going to get back to it.
I keep saying that,
but it's just,
I ain't been nowhere.
I still,
you know,
put my little positive shit over there.
It's just,
hey,
and I just log off the app,
man.
You know,
I got,
I got 15 minutes a day on Twitter, man, before my app get locked out.
Yeah, man, it locked me out.
So it's good.
Outside of that, just shit, you know, building, building in real life.
You know, man, life is good, man.
It's good to see y'all, man.
It's good to hear from y'all motherfuckers.
Profits, what's up, man?
Uh, what's, what we doing?
What we doing?
I'm waiting.
You know what we doing, bro.
You know what we doing?
I'm actually going to call you tonight.
I'm waiting on you.
I'm going to call you tonight with some, with some updates.
Um, as far as anybody in Vegas, uh, we're trying to put it together an event.
Um, like a networking 10 to 2.
We're also going to have Booty Bash 15 from 2 to 6, the same date, hopefully.
And we have a kid event.
We're giving back to our community.
So we're trying to lock in that part right there, give out some free haircuts, some school supplies and shit,
and kind of just vibe with a whole bunch of kids from a neighborhood out there in Vegas.
So that's pretty much it.
Outside of that, if you're in Vegas, go pull up on me, man.
You know, man, we outside like the motherfucking weather.
We outside like air.
Don't do too much cocaine.
Don't let the hookers just take your money.
I'm just being honest. Listen, it's OK. It's OK. I know. I know everybody's like hookers, cocaine.
And I'm sorry. It has to be said. But just be careful. It's Vegas.
I know for those that wear watches, just be careful. Don't put your watch down.
I'm going to keep it on it. It's to keep it 100. It's going to be gone.
It's going to be gone.
We go back to the same shit like
I told you all about Miami.
You know, man, just have some fun.
Be careful. Keep somebody around you.
Don't leave your drink unattended.
It's the same. Same
motherfucking shit, but Vegas. Don't get in no
fucking trouble, man. Don't get in no trouble.
Take some bail money if you plan to get in some little scuffles.
And you'll be all right.
You know what I'm saying?
Enjoy.
I'm looking forward for Bitcoin, Vegas.
This is the first Bitcoin conference after Bitcoin hit $100,000.
On top of that, Ross is out.
On top of that, a whole bunch of shit has happened since the last one in Nashville.
So I'm really looking forward to see who the fuck is going to be there.
Because literally, we probably don't even know who the fuck is going to be there.
I'm waiting to see what's getting built, what's going on.
I want to just take the check, the temperature, man.
See what's happening.
You know, now there's a lot of institutions, a lot of people.
It's coming into the space.
I'm looking forward for that.
And XRP Vegas starts the day Bitcoin Vegas ends.
So that's going to be dope.
I'm there all week.
Oh, I know you hype for that.
That's dope.
I haven't even heard about that yet.
That's dope.
Yeah, XRP Vegas starts on the 30th, 30th and 31st and shit.
So that's cool.
That's cool.
You know what I'm saying?
That's going to be my first XRP kind of conference and shit.
And it's going to be funny because, you know, they're kind of different.
You know, they're a little bit uppity, like extra.
You know, everywhere else, they're like a little extra.
And then they go, you know, fucking.
But one thing for sure, I have XRP.
A whole bunch of them.
But I ain't got nearly as much as bro.
So, bro is the super fucking whale in XRP.
So, I'm looking forward to pop my shit for him.
I'm going to be talking cash shit to these motherfucking uppity motherfuckers.
Because they don't even compare what this
motherfucker has.
So it's good.
That's it.
Shit.
I'm just vibing, chilling, enjoying this fucking watching the country fall apart.
And you're trying to buy everything.
You're trying to be in position.
So when everything fucking falls to shit, which it will, everything has to be reset.
Like we can't romanticize.
Everything's always good. Like the reality is reset. They want to reset. I want to reset. It sucks because a lot
of people is going to deal through a lot of hardships, but I want to make sure that I am
in position to fucking buy everything. I'm buying everything. Shit, it is what it is.
Any investment, stocks down, I'm buying stocks. Property down, I'm trying to shit like it is what it is. I'm any investment stocks down. I'm buying stocks property down
I'm trying to buy some property. I'm trying to buy some more land. I'm trying to buy some fucking crypto
It is shit. It is what it is. Yo mama house going motherfucking sale. I might be her landlord, but outside of that is
I said it the other day.
I'm ready. I wait. I said it out today. I say I
I said, all right, motherfuckers want to piss me off.
I'll buy your mama a house.
I'll buy your mama a house and be your landlord.
You know what I mean?
You're going to get that notice.
You need to move.
You know what I mean?
It's your fault.
Blame you.
Holy shit.
That's the only response to an enemy.
100%.
100%.
I'm going to pull up.
I'm like, I'm going to give you 60 days.
I need you to move out and blame your son for it. You know what I mean? So you might move when I move in with your son. He should have left me alone. I tried to pull up. I'm going to give you 60 days. I need you to move out and blame your son for it.
You know, man, so you might want to move in with your son.
He should have left me alone.
I try to tell him.
I try to fucking tell him.
Leave me the fuck alone, man.
But yeah, you have a wonderful day, man.
But you need to get the fuck up off my property.
But outside of that, I'm petty.
Yeah, I'm not.
I just, shit.
I just, man, be happy with me.
I'm tired of haters.
I'm tired of people always talking shit. Like, leave me the fuck alone because I will make my point to really, really
fuck with you. So outside of that, fucking, it's great. Great to hear from y'all, man. Exposed
media, Wake and Bake Radio. I feel like baking right now. Shit, I don't even smoke. I feel like
smoking. You know, it's funny you said something about being petty one of my field supervisors the hoa lady was being an asshole
to him and so what i did is i sent a 28 ton uh stone block to her house and had it delivered
sideways in the driveway because it don't really cost that much on company money and i was like
what when you say your day's off where marcus and he's like oh such and such i was
like bet uh drive by that lady's house on your way back and let me know what that driveway block
looks like and he's like what'd you do oh man it's fine it's fine it's it's fine me and my
boss laughed at it because i just wrote that shit off as a you know this work expense man
you talk about hoa because she's gonna have to get a crane to get it moved you know what i mean
and you can do it anonymously specifically because you do it from overseas right it's the same type
shit you can have you can make a hut for like mud ducks or bats specific types of bats depending on
what state you live in you can put them right where they exit your neighbor's yard and they'll
just shit in the neighbor's yard and be loud but once they're settled they can't be moved
you know what I mean so you just put the out on their side and and and, you know, let them be one with their dissatisfaction.
Like, I mean, I can't be happy for strangers, but I can damn sure help them be sad for themselves.
You know, you give me some more ideas, bro.
I'm gonna write that down.
I'm fucking I'm fucking petty, too. Like, way too fucking petty for regular adulthood.
It's just like,
because it's like, fuck, why don't you just
want to be happy with me? So if you don't
want to be happy with me, I will make it
my point to clear my schedule
to figure out ways to, when I
wake up, how can I piss this
motherfucker off today?
He really, y'all both sound like y'all bask in that.
And I love to hear it because this shit is funny as hell.
Fucking Jonathan, what's up, motherfucker?
You know what I mean?
What's going on, bro?
Oh, man, I'm blessed, brother.
I'm blessed.
I'm blessed.
I'm fucking blessed.
I've been watching Instagram on here.
I've been watching y'all
out there speaking to the
people, the youth, and doing things
out there. It's always great to
see, and I literally talk about
y'all to anybody that starts talking about
people not doing stuff for
the community. I'm like, I know some motherfuckers
that do a shitload for the community.
I appreciate that, bro. You know what I mean?
Me and Broden talked about this a while back.
It's like, it's just going to sound crazy.
But it's not, though.
Like, a lot of people in Web3 really don't appreciate good people.
You know what I mean?
So it don't matter.
And I understand.
It's nothing, no hard feelings, no nothing.
But it's just what it is.
Like, this is something that we was doing before.
We just added blockchain technology financially.
The more that we learned, the more that we had.
But that shit's going to get done regardless if we on Twitter or not
because it's not a Twitter thing.
And kind of got a little irritated, just pounding on these people's fucking chest
to be like, oh, man, you don't care.
You don't care.
It's okay.
You know, man, it's going to get done.
It's still, we're working on a partnership with CPS right now.
So that was interesting to go into jails and more foster care.
And in Tampa, I'm working with this high school.
They kind of want to, so I don't know what, you know what
I mean, they kind of, I don't know what the fuck they want to do.
They want me to just come there.
So I'm like, shit, you know what I mean, I can just be on campus, you know what I mean,
I can come once a month or whatever, after school, or do like an after school program
and shit.
I just want the kids that nobody wants.
Yeah, I mean, that's like when I was talking to the principal, just shit, you know what
I mean, bring the kids that nobody wants.
The ones that y'all giving up on, the ones that it's too hard to deal with, just said, you know, man, bring the kids that nobody wants.
The ones that y'all giving up on.
The ones that it's too hard to deal with.
The ones that you know is on the way to jail.
You know, man, just bring them over here and a couple of hours to motherfucker every other week. But the thing with that is like I have to be 100 percent settled.
I can't.
Once I make that that that that switch and that decision, a lot of these kids, you got to be consistent.
Like anything else in life, you have to be consistent.
Everybody done walked out of their lives, all that shit.
So I have to make sure it is like, I know it's like, I have to be there in that city once a week or once a month, every fucking month. So that's something that I have to take in consideration,
and I'm just trying to adjust to see how I'm going to do it.
So I'm not just doing it one, two times,
and then walking away, waiting three months.
No, so I'll be very consistent
and kind of just build a rapport with a lot of these kids.
And me personally, I want to, you know, I got a few things.
I'm trying to build something in Florida, you know, man, like a facility.
So I'm trying to figure it out.
I don't know all the details.
That's what I'm trying to figure out, like where a lot of kids can just come and hang out, you know, and learn some shit.
Learn some shit, but also keep them away from the streets.
I'm with that we used to have like the y and they would come to the to the neighborhood to the hood pick us up take us swimming and other
events and different things like that and they don't have no shit like that really anywhere
anymore uh for kids but then they say like oh they're just around doing
shit but what the are you giving them to do other than that because they're gonna do something so you i i enjoyed that going to the y and going
swimming and stuff because in the hood we we had no pools so shit you know i still don't know how
to swim but you know man it's it's like the reality of that is with me i kind of what i
want to build is like it's 2025, man.
A lot of these people is teaching these kids how they was teaching our grandparents.
So having a safe space for individuals to be able to come and learn about podcasts, learn about studio, learn about the program, learn about blockchain, learn about different shit is actually going to be useful at the same time with people that
they can relate and just be comfortable that that's kind of you know i still don't have all
the fucking details and that is something that i've been just i'm just looking for building i'm
looking for a lot of shit it might take a couple of years i ain't tripping but that's like my main
goal right now that's crazy because i literally put you on when they were tagging
good people the other day i was like man you guys this dude gives with both hands
like you're charitable i've been in the same places where you've done charity school drives
and shit it's it's actually kind of it's actually kind of crazy we crossed up before we knew each
other in the crypto space which is crazy just because just because of where i lived at the time
it's that's
how i was like i mean if you guys want to talk about giving back to the community this guy gives
back to humans not the anonymous degenerate crypto people this is this guy this guy shovels healthy
soil on the future of the people that are going to treat your wounds or you know what i mean prepare
prepare your food prepare your statements like that's that's the that's the field
You need to be tendon are the ones you're gonna be laid to rest in
You talking about Bruce Wayne over here
