Starting point is 00:00:00 Yeah, we got, um, Aidan Ross, my boy, we go back a little bit. One of the most fucking influential people on the fucking internet. No matter what you do, you're always just like fucking here to stay now. One of the first streams I did when I was in the LA house was you. You pulled up on me? I remember, yeah. You remember that? Yeah, that's when you were just like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:18 And off starting to go crazy, right? Yeah, bro, yeah. Yeah, that's when you were popping off living with banks in the cloud house. Yeah, the cloud house. I love that. That was like the second cloud house. Yeah, it was the part two. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:00:28 You know, it's crazy because I was like, before even, I think after the stream, we just went outside. We were just shotgunning, just from the fuck of it. And it was just so cool how you pulled up on me. Because I know you were part of the first one. The first one. Which was on Wheat Lake, right? Yeah, weed lake.
Starting point is 00:00:39 It's crazy how much Banks has done for people, right? Dude, banks, bro. Like, I wouldn't be, I would say this all the time, but we wouldn't be anywhere without banks for sure. Same with me. His endorsement, like, putting us on in L.A., the amount of people he connected us with. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:51 And he did it all for free, too. Dude, that's the thing about him. Never tried to take a piece of us. Right. Nothing. Right. Yeah. Because when I was, when I was, when I moved to L.A.,
Starting point is 00:00:59 and this is when Faze was obviously going through what they were going through. Yeah. There were so many times where I could have joined Faze and I asked Banks about it. He's like, yo, like, Aiden, like, don't do it. Don't do it. He looked out for me. He put me, you know, his genuine- Don't join Faze.
Starting point is 00:01:10 Don't join Faze because that's when Faze was doing some really bad shady stuff and he didn't have control of it. Now they're killing it, which is great. He took it back over. And we could talk about that in a bit. But like my thing was, it was like, Banks has always been the genuine guy where it's like, yo, I got you. You're my boy.
Starting point is 00:01:25 you're my brother and you know like later down the line i'm able to now help him out with certain things and bless him on certain stuff you know and that's that's great it's just great being able to reciprocate that i think he just like seeing people win because he has an eye he has a crazy eye for talent too yeah so i think when he sees someone he's like yo that person could be big yeah he kind of likes like proving himself right in a way where he's like i want to see that person win dude he's always early yeah he's always early when it comes to banks bro he's just one of those guys that have that sense to know who's who's gonna make it you know he always has that little tell and you're right i feel like he beats himself over like oh i want to prove to everyone that i'm always right about this
Starting point is 00:01:58 so he's always on it we got an amazing pod coming up with aiden ross right now i love catching up with this guy before we get into it if you have not tried out the prize picks app you got to download it right now you guys know me i love firing on sports and i've tried every single app in my opinion prize picks is by far the best instead of choosing teams you're choosing individual players each player has a set projection and you either go more or less than that set projection so if you know what players are going to perform on what nights this is a no-brainer if you're smart with sports download the prize picks app if you've never tried it you can use code nilk and if you put in five dollars you get $50 free no string to attach take advantage of that code prize bics is available
Starting point is 00:02:38 in so many states it's available in cali it's available in texas football's over but big fire and's coming up march madness is right around the corner you know we're going to be firing big on prize I post my picks all the time on my stories so stay tuned for those shut out prize picks best firing app on sports in the game download the prize picks app use code nelk let's get into the podcast business wise with kick where are you at like did you get are you allowed to say what your deal is like your equity like are you still an equity partner still an equity partner um and i'm actually doing more equity stuff with them when it comes to like my my new events I'm creating with them this year so we're going to do a streamer awards this year there's a stream rewards on twitch I'm not
Starting point is 00:03:15 really sure why nobody's done anything to kind of compete against it. So we're going to do our own stream rewards. I'm obviously doing the boxing now, the brand risk boxing, which is big. And I got a few more events coming too that I've kind of talked about. But events are going to be really, really great for streaming because it's just a well-produced event that you can kind of keep spamming in a way and you can change it up and add more people and people will just be all for it. I think that's like the future of live streaming, just making crazy, well,
Starting point is 00:03:45 well-produced events. That stuff that you want to do more is more like high production shit. Exactly. And that's like where the equity is too. It's like if I could start a business, sorry, not a business. If I could start an event up with like, for example, Eddie, him and I are going to like a 50-50 type of thing where we're kind of both like putting our all into it. We have certain different types of things that him and I are both putting into it.
Starting point is 00:04:04 But it's like, who knows, man, one day maybe somebody big will pay for, you know, whatever we're putting out. And that's kind of a goal on that. But we're just doing it for the fun of it right now, you know, the love and the fun of it. Because money doesn't really mean anything to that guy. just loves like he's very passionate he's driven he just loves like the competition all right guys if you guys are into crypto or you're looking to get into crypto you guys need to download the moon pay app moon pay makes it so so easy to buy and sell crypto and what i love about moon pay is they have

Starting point is 00:05:58 that guy is like the most normal most famous person you're ever going to meet yeah he's a genuine dude he's a great guy's from your city it's just it's so it's so cool how much of a good person he is and that's like where it's like oh I love this guy's music my entire life but it's like damn now have an actual friendship with this guy and he's a normal dude it's like and he fucks with you like crazy yeah bro him and i you know we speak almost every day you know it's like he's he's just a really really good dude and he cares about a lot about his people and he takes he takes pride in what he does and you you know you got to respect that and i just got a lot of love for that guy was that like a dream stream for you yeah that was definitely up there for
Starting point is 00:06:34 sure definitely and i was also going to one of my dreams years with conier and it was going to happen for the fourth time you know i've tried four times of conier it was about to happen and he blocked me recently which really sucked because i really wanted to of that Kanye stream to happen or should I say yay stream but I really did want it to happen but he blocked me so damn do you think it'll ever happen no why not it could have happened four times uh usually they say third times a charm the first time uh was in 2022 he wanted to do with me and andrew tate the second one was in uh 2023 he wanted to do stream with me him and cardy after the carty thing happened maybe this is the third of the four i forgot i think i'm forgetting one more um
Starting point is 00:07:08 and then obviously this time around he's tweeting all this crazy shit yeah so that's why i took you know I was like, oh my God, like, this is perfect time. Let me try to get yay on stream. It just sucks because I really- You got a lot of backlash for that, right? A little bit or no? Yeah, but I didn't care. He is going fucking crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:07:22 What do you think the, what the fuck do you think's going on with him? Do you think he just says shit for attention or no? I thought, I thought that at first, but it's Kanye West. He doesn't need attention. He doesn't need money. I think I think he's genuinely going through it and I think he needs to get help. And I think, you know, he needs to figure something out because it's sad, bro. It's really sad.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Because that's the thing. He'll say like nine good things. And then he just says, one fucked up thing that just ruins his entire credibility which is annoying and it makes him hard to defend right you can't defend him when he's tweeting out things about like Diddy and at Virgil and he's dropping
Starting point is 00:07:53 you know swastika merch I mean what could you you know but again that's what streaming's all about like look at um look at Tucker Carlson he went to he flew to Russia to go do Putin yeah so it's like and I know in a heartbeat like you would do that too
Starting point is 00:08:08 100% so but that's the thing that's where it comes with people like us it's like bro just because you have someone on doesn't mean that you agree with everything they're doing exactly yeah exactly i know this is like gonna sound crazy but like somebody's super super controversial like even if you like or hate him like for example like jeffrey domer like dude like dude that dude's what i'm saying got to right yeah so it's like even the luigi guy i guarantee you would want to do a podcast i mean we had o j simpson that is crazy you did yeah and he definitely did you think he did it right yeah he definitely did it that guy's a he's a fucking charming guy though yeah rest rest in peace o jr ip yeah he's a charming guy but he's a charming guy but he
Starting point is 00:08:43 definitely fucking did it. But Kyle, that's what makes you separate. And I kind of put myself in that group too. And I've constant, like, yo, I look up to you. Like, even the back of the day, I always told you and Steve and Jesse. Like, always. Because you guys don't give a fuck. You don't care. That's the brand. You don't give a fuck. You're going to be you. You're going to do you. And that's it. Which is dope because then when we fuck up too, like even if you fuck up or we fuck up, people don't really give a fuck, right? If you have that clean ass image your whole life, you're constantly protecting that. Oh, it sucks. And then when you fuck up, people turn on you. For us, it's kind of like we're just known as scumbags a little bit.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Right. So it's like, we get away with it. We get away with everything. Exactly. Yeah. But that's the thing that the pitch perfect people that try to cancel people, hey, it's at one point it's going to come around and get them. And then it's like, oh, my God, what do I do?
Starting point is 00:09:26 They'll stop streaming. They'll stop posting. They'll stop doing something because they don't know how to deal with it. They were used to being on the other side of the fence. Oh, this guy's this, this guy's that. But then when it happens to them, it's like, oh, you know? So that's what I think's kind of funny. You're right, though.
Starting point is 00:09:38 It's like, we give that off already. like hey like look we're we're human beings we say crazy stuff we do crazy things but the end of the day we're human beings we're relatable because we're not perfect you know so i know even con yeah i saw now like him and drake had beef and now he's like saying drake's music's fire yeah like it's just like what what'd you think of the new album i think it's good i think it's fire too i really do i think it's one of these albums you have to keep listening to yeah you find your new favorite song over and over again i've been listening to it i love the album um i think it was perfect they did on that valentine's day too I know I was supposed to drop, like, months ago, but it was worth it.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And I'm glad that Drake's getting the recognition that deserves. What I don't like those, I don't like when Spotify and album music, how they're doing Drake, they're trying to put, like... I know, what's good with that? They're trying to put Kendrick's music in his playlist stuff and... I've seen that. Unchart him on certain things. It's just they're all pushing this.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Like, look, Kendrick Lamar, his back in the day, he has hits. He has some tracks. Yes. But, like, so does, like, Meek Mill or Big Sean. Like, Kendrick has some tracks. Yeah. Like, I don't know if I could name, like, I could name 10
Starting point is 00:10:38 but I don't know if I could name 20 Can you name five songs off his new album? No Exactly That's my point though My point is his last album But yeah he has tracks But it's like
Starting point is 00:10:46 Drake has so many tracks You fucking forget them all Like some of the singles too Or like You just went to his concert right Yeah I went to his concert I was in Australia When you're there you're like
Starting point is 00:10:54 Wait He has so many tracks So many And some of them aren't even on albums They're just like trophies Or like random shit like that Yeah he can't even perform all of them So many tracks you can't even remember them
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yeah He has to constantly switch it up but that's what it comes down to it's like look they're trying their hardest to squeeze and then like the hidden message thing of the Super Bowl it's like dude okay come on bro like you know what I mean it's like there's just so much they were all waiting for this moment
Starting point is 00:11:19 to kind of get it was kind of a big big W for Drake I think the Super Bowl performance right oh for sure because like if you compare past Super Bowl people you have like Beyonce Bruno Mars it's like Kendrick it's like And he made it all about Drake Yeah he could have performed
Starting point is 00:11:34 Bitch Don't Kill My Vive you know all of his classics like ADHD the ADHD stuff like it's just he didn't do it he obviously wanted to make it about him and whatever in my opinion it's it is what it is and in my opinion like I think Drake won that beef because the rap the rap battle because it's like obviously Kendrick made the hit song they're not like us but it's all lies he said he had a daughter which was debunked and then the people forgot about that right the daughter thing was crazy like come on bro it wasn't real no like but people don't bring that up it's crazy that's what scares me too is because like i guess when you get to that level and you're so big like people really
Starting point is 00:12:09 do just want to see you fall that's how it is bro they all like nothing kendrick said was ever proven nothing obviously drake's not fucking banging underage girls he can get any girl he wants yeah it's like but that's what isn't that kind of scare you too or it's like when you're that big people really want to fucking come for you yeah and it's sad because you can argue that drake put kendr gone i'll never forget in 2011 i was 11 years old i was going to this it's called um it was would you like a tour I believe, it was when he first dropped, take care. He took Kendrick, Jay Cole, ASAP, Rocky, the weekend, all these guys on tour, gave him all a feature, French Montana, meet Mill, all of them. And he put him on them, and it's like, you're doing him like this.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It's all out of them telling you, it's because it was all built up, obviously. We know this. And he's been number one for so long. They just try to knock him out. And that's really what it did. You can't knock him out, though. He's in Australia selling out crazy shows. You can do it anywhere in the world.
Starting point is 00:12:58 It doesn't matter. And this guy just dropped an album. It's amazing. And let's be real. No respect. to Kendrick but he has classics he has hits he is a legend technically but his last album before G and X
Starting point is 00:13:09 Mr. Morale horrible Drake revived Kendrick's career 100% yeah come on I mean so if the Drake one was big who's like who's a fucking crazy stream that you want to get that's like out of this planet so I wanted Kanye I really did it was part of my list
Starting point is 00:13:24 but I guess you know I want to do a stream with probably Elon man Connie Connie and Elon's like my top two bro to be real dude like that was whoa Drake was but bro I mean, yeah, man. Well, Elon will probably only do it if it's on X. I would love to do it. X should get in the streaming game more, right?
Starting point is 00:13:40 I don't know why they don't. You know, have you been seeing Sneakos vlogs? No, on X? Yeah. He's been killing it, bro. Yeah. He's been doing really, really good content on X. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:47 And he's only getting paid like 50 bucks a month, but he's really trying his ass off and he's doing really, really good content. But it sucks because, you know, hopefully I think Elon will try to find a way to make his ex creators eat more. Yeah. But once he does that, it could be game over for him for real. 100%. Because I think, I think X is a great.
Starting point is 00:14:03 platform and x is what saved the election yeah freedom of speech is huge bro and Elon's got an army behind him and it's crazy me and something you me and you have in common is we both got shouted out in the fucking so cool the fucking presidential victory speech bro dude so cool what was your reaction to that i look i didn't i didn't even stay up at night because it was like it was already over so i went to bed and then yeah i wake up and i see fucking dana gets on there and like he says like he's on there for a minute and he shouts both of us out so cool which is crazy what was your reaction to that he shouted out you me theo von and joel rogan and bust him with the boys that's right yeah but it's it's it's it's nuts if you think about it Kyle in a way even if it's zero point zero one percent you had um
Starting point is 00:14:48 something to do with this election you influence at least one person at least I'm just going to give you the lowest of the benefit of doubt one person was influenced by you and one person was influenced by me yours was fucking massive yeah I went crazy yours was massive like that was all over mainstream media yeah i remember when you announced it because i get genuinely excited when you like announced like a big stream yeah i always know it's going to be like fire yeah you know what i mean so how did the trump thing happen for you walk us through that so baron and i we talk and um you know what do you communicate with baron on i don't want to speak i don't i don't want to i don't want to leak it but um you know baron's a really really cool guy's a
Starting point is 00:15:25 fucking stuff he's so cool that guy's going to be a fucking problem bro i know what is he like six seven That guy's a fucking tree, bro Dude, he's charming He's well-spoken, he's smart Barron is, man He's got a problem Guys probably hung like a fucking horse too He's probably got everything, bro
Starting point is 00:15:41 He's he's great man And shout to Baron I'll never forget I went to Don't laugh Gabe You've been fucking Gabe won't shut up about Barron bro You like Baron Gabe
Starting point is 00:15:52 I'll put the good word in But So what, he hit you? Well no I met him at You know It was the first, it was actually the first time Barron's publicly went to one of his, um, um, he used in one of his speeches.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I think it was in Doral. I'm not sure where it was at. Okay. But Baron was there. And I got to talk to him a little while. We met before. We met prior to that. Um, but Barron was like, because I was with Baron and, uh, President Trump.
Starting point is 00:16:17 He was like, dad, this is who I've been talking about. And Trump looks at me. He's like, all right. I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it. And then it's just, it's crazy. I got in touch with like one of the head people on his team.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You probably know who it is. like you know Alex and you know Justin and all those guys and they were just like cool let's make it happen and they made it happen and I was at first like this is not going to happen it can't be real I got a phone calls to these guys I kept following up they're like okay Aiden this is the date it's locked in it's like wait what and it was locked in bro and I was like wow there were so many people I was trying to get a hold to do this yeah and at first they were trying to charge money a million dollars to a million I'm like come on man Trump Trump Trump really you were trying to charge you yes bro they were trying to tax me they're probably not
Starting point is 00:16:54 legit so because they're probably a cardy situation they're like oh it's another right right but i went through uh went through barren with with right people and man they were so nice the secret service the team trump team they're so nice they're so so good at what they do and um they helped orchestrate everything and man i'm just so happy to happen it was definitely my dream stream to do a show with the president and nobody's ever done anything live with the president i don't think no i don't think so i was the first to break the ice and it was awesome that's cool that's one thing i noticed about Trump too he really trusts like certain people around him it's cool how he trusts his son yeah and he's gasing him up like he knows his son's tapped in and he kind of just like whatever his son says he kind
Starting point is 00:17:30 of just like genius listens to right it's genius dude i mean like think baron had something to do with this election he was like pointing fingers this this this baron uh baron helped out Elon helped out you helped out I helped out everyone to oh dude dude like what people don't know too and like I did a couple interviews after and I would always tell people like Dana's been plotting on this bro since like the last election loss i know like he's been like helping trump get the youth bro you know what i mean yeah even you i remember the first time you guys met too yeah i was telling dana i was like because he was looking people for power slap too and i was like dude you got to fucking meet aden for sure like this guy's the real yeah and like appreciate that count no 100 percent always be real
Starting point is 00:18:11 no no 100 but dana like dana fucks with you heavy too yeah he's just been like he's been plotting on this dana's like i love it he was the guy that helped trump with the youth i think Oh, I agree. You know what I mean? Because I know for sure he would pit him and be like, because Dana put the good word in for me. So I know for sure, obviously for you too, it's like Dana's always had like my back, your back.
Starting point is 00:18:31 So whenever like the team's hitting Dana about it or Trump hitting him about it direct, Dana's like, oh yeah, no, he's good, he's good. Run that, run that. Dan is very smart, very, very smart and very good at what he does. Shout to UFC. I saw you do that thing with Topora.
Starting point is 00:18:43 You nailed it. That one-on-one was crazy. Yeah, that was crazy. Tepora's, man. He's crazy. He's a fucking beast, bro. I don't think anyone could really out box on. all too he's a good fighter oh dude his wife's a fucking no disrespect she's a absolute rocket
Starting point is 00:18:55 like she's a great she's the best looking wife in the ufc by far no disrespect to deporia but yeah no that guy's that guy's the real deal dude he's i don't think anyone i mean i know he wants to we'll see man i don't want i don't know i don't want to speak on certain things but i got to see somebody crazy fight him next who do you think who he thinks he's going to fight next oh see the thing with the ufc in my opinion is i think they don't want to when they have two stars, like you got Toporia and you got Islam, right? What business-wise for the UFC does it make sense for them to just kill one of those stars? It doesn't make sense. Because like, the only way they do that is when it was like Volk versus Toporia where Volk just cleaned out the division
Starting point is 00:19:35 multiple times where they're in a corner where they're like, yeah, we have to make this fight. But right now, I think Toporia has only had one title defense, right? So it's like if those two fight, one person's going to die. And it's like Toporia is such a big international star. like how big he is overseas and in Spain. I think they kind of want to just let them both grow. And then if they both clean it out, then they have to make the fight. Well, it's another thing that's like Aspinall versus John Jones. It's like John at first was saying like John want Alex prayer, but it doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:20:04 No. Alex is kind of doing what you're saying. Exactly. He has to build up, build up. And Alex is fucking. They want to have a star in every division, right? Of course. They need it.
Starting point is 00:20:10 They need to have that. And, but if John fights Aspinall this year, which I think it might happen. I think it's going to go down, right? Who do you think wins? I don't know, man. I think it's going to be close. I would say I would say I got to go for John Jones. You have to, man.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I like Aspinol a lot though. Yeah. That's a fight that we absolutely have to go to. Dude, I know. I mean, if it's going to happen, I would assume it would happen to the garden or something where, because I know John fights at the garden or in Vegas. But man, I mean, that would be a crazy fight.
Starting point is 00:20:39 If it happens, it'll be insane. But then it's like, if John wins that, then nobody can ever say anything. He's done. Yeah. It'll be his last fight for sure. But, yeah, man. I mean, Aspidal can fight too, though, man.
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah. He's crazy. And even, but even with, like, Islam, it's like, he's so good. Mm-hmm. And everyone's like, all those Russians and, and everyone's like, oh, be, you know, you got to be afraid. But look at Marab, he beat Umar, bro. And it's like, now it's like Marab, that guy has the craziest stamina.
Starting point is 00:21:03 He could probably fuck for six hours straight. And I love Shogashon, too, but Marab is a really nice guy. Dude. I never met Mara. Like, when I met him, he's like, he's a pretty funny guy. Yeah. Yeah, he's a funny guy. Dude, that guy's stamina.
Starting point is 00:21:14 He could probably fuck for six hours straight. 100%. No water, no, like, dude, what the fuck? Yeah. I've never seen that. He'd be scary in the bedroom, right? Yeah, dude. That's not what you want to see.
Starting point is 00:21:25 He would get tired, bro. Rob fucks your ex. Like, fuck, man. I don't know if I'd be upset. I'd probably just feel like, all right? She wasn't the one, but. But no, dude, he gets it down, bro. Like, that guy could, man, he can do 100 jumping jacks and still keep, you know, it's, it's
Starting point is 00:21:41 nuts. But that's why it's like, damn, I want to see Sean a Malley fight. He's going to make a comeback. He will. It seems like he's dialed in. Yeah. I think he's completely. Completely off social media.
Starting point is 00:21:50 His team's running. I spoke to him. Yeah. Yeah. Sugar's the man. Sugar is great. But the UFC, man, it's, I'm so,
Starting point is 00:21:56 so awesome to see what they've done with everything. Do you think McGreg ever fights again or no? I think so. I mean, he has to, right? He has one more fight left. I think he has an expensive lifestyle too.
Starting point is 00:22:05 And, like, obviously he has money. But when you're fucking ripping your boat and taking jets and doing all that, money starts to get drained, right? So he has two fights left with the UFC. Oh, it's two fights left. And then after that,
Starting point is 00:22:17 he has the freedom to do the, big boxing events and all that so you saw what they were trying to make the logan conner fight right yep i saw that but the ufc's not going to let that happen what i want to know is because i didn't really understand that time how did mcgregor and mayweather get to fight i guess the ufc dana just got a part of it right because it made sense that's mayweather he's the biggest i mean and that brought so many eyeballs to the ufc right god yeah so that was worth it for that yeah at this point it's like not really not really worth it right now if he fights logan paul is that going to make the UFC that much bigger?
Starting point is 00:22:48 No. Not really, right? No, it won't. But, yeah, dude, I mean, it's just, it's nuts to think about, like, how everything is all going. Like, the future of fighting, like, Mike Tyson, even Jake is crazy. They think about, damn, I wonder who Jake's going to fight next. I don't know. I guess he was supposed to fight Canello, right?
Starting point is 00:23:02 Hello. That'd have been crazy. Yeah. Jake's fucking killing it, too. He is. Yeah. He really, really quick. We have brand new stuff on Folsen.com.
Starting point is 00:23:11 We have new hoodies, new teas, new sweats. I love these hoodies. I rock them all the time. We got matching. sweatsuits. They're my favorite things that just absolutely melt in. I wear them when I'm traveling all the time. We also have full send UFC stuff. It's super simple, super clean. You guys have been asking us for new stuff. So we restocked the entire website. So go to full send.com, grab some full send shit. Let's get into the pod. You and Dana gamble a lot too. Oh, dude. What was your
Starting point is 00:23:35 biggest firing night with Dana? Okay. So the first you fucking, you're a fucking animal. Yeah, well. In that red rock suite. Dude, the first time I met Dana White, um, I'll never forget this. I was down $800,000, all markers. They're on the table. Dana sits with me. He's like, how you doing, kid? Dana. I'm sitting there with him.
Starting point is 00:23:55 And when I tell you, I didn't put any money in, this guy brings me from $800,000 in debt up to like $50K. And we were there battling for five hours straight. So he put his own. He saved, yeah. Yes. He basically gave me $850,000. He saved my debt.
Starting point is 00:24:10 He loves the game. He's so passionate. He's such a great player. He's aggressive. You know what Dana will tell you is like, yo, you win, two big hands get out walk out go go do you think so but for him you know i never met this guy before a day of my life i'm coming in i know dana from like ufc i'm like oh my god you know and he just bails me out like that i'm like oh my god like i don't even know what to say or think right now i'm
Starting point is 00:24:30 just shaking like of of adrenaline everything so we've had that was the worst that i've had but i've seen dana man down five million one night in baccarat and um and i've seen him also up a lot Baccarat too so you know how gambling is ups and downs ups and downs but man i'm still forever grateful for dana he's helped me with so many things in my career um with you know how aligning people up with me and help me meet people and connecting me and just the first time we met man just building me out like that i mean he's just he's such a good guy you know yeah he's great i see you rocking the free troy shirt are you you keep in touch with him at all uh torrey called me during my boxing event last um i wanted to say something about him during the trump stream but um it
Starting point is 00:25:12 wasn't it didn't really make sense from certain people that were overhearing what i was going to talk about on stream because he's a canadian resident but free tory i know he didn't do what he everyone's accusing him doing um it's obvious if it is i mean show show the bullet hole you know like at that point it's like show the bullet hole um you know he didn't shoot you in the foot but he'll get freed he's a toronto legend Toronto legend Toronto legend yeah he's a great human being cracked the best freestyle of all time on my stream he checks up on me when i'm not doing well yeah he's just a great dude bro and he's he's shining in there he's shining in there and he's going to get out and he's going to shock the world it's crazy shit because yeah i actually talked to him
Starting point is 00:25:48 too and i was going to tell you about this but he was telling me that new evidence came out and like there's four people's DNA on the gun and his is not one of them which is like something that came out after the trial that they didn't allow it to they're going to redo the trial they should based on that because like if there's four people's DNA on the gun and his is not one of them that's like fucking crazy. It is crazy. And another thing that's crazy, too, is the girl said, oh, him and I never did anything sexually.
Starting point is 00:26:15 But now are like, oh, yeah, we had sex a few times. Like, what? You're now going back. You just lied. So that should be a mistrial. You lied in trial. So let's do a mistrial. And let's just redo it.
Starting point is 00:26:25 So look, bro, we'll see what happened. That's what's crazy when you like, because Tori's been kind of like, I guess he kind of went up against the system a little bit, right? That's one thing that scares me, man. Like, if you go up against the wrong people in the system, it's bad. It's scary, right?
Starting point is 00:26:37 It's bad. It just sucks. So because I know for a fact, she didn't get hit in the foot, bro. Like, I know she didn't. So hopefully, if Tori is free to ASAT, free Tori, yeah, man, we got to get him home. We got to tell Donny T to look into it at the right time. That'd be great. Yeah, the right time.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I mean, again, I couldn't do it at the time because it didn't make sense. But now he's in office. Maybe he can look into things. And, yeah, I just, I hope he gets freedom because I know he's innocent. Yeah. I want to talk to you about this GTA shit. Oh, shit. what's going to go on with that and like what are your plans with that i know i've heard banks talk about
Starting point is 00:27:13 how it's going to completely change everything with like crypto and gaming tell me a little bit about that so i don't know how many of you guys watching you're in this room or in crypto right now but today is really bad it's been really bad these past few days with salana and the argentinian fucker right oh dude i can't believe him what a piece of shit you guys a loser it's just i i can't believe a president did that. I really can't. I really can't fathom it. It's crazy. I can't. Yeah. But what I was planning on doing is when GTA 6 does come out, I want to have an economy-based system where it's all ran off of a crypto coin. And this crypto coin is not going to be a pump a dump. It's going to be backed by a legit asset, which is my server. It's not going to be
Starting point is 00:27:52 rugged or anything like that. I'll have full control pretty much majority of supply. And I'm going to make it a very good economic server. I'm going to make the server to where if you make money in game, Kyle, you cash out. I want people to be working and having an actual life on my server. You could flip houses and make money. You could sell drugs and make money. But guess what? If I come up to you in game and I kill you, you're losing everything.
Starting point is 00:28:14 Damn. Yeah. We're going to make it very strict. We're to the commie-based server. It's going to be hard to get guns. It's going to be hard to do this. So how does that work? Is the coin going to be like in the actual game?
Starting point is 00:28:22 It's going to basically be valued. So let's say you have a million dollars in my GTA-6 server. You could probably cash that out for X amount of the coin, which is X amount. volume. And I don't know what chain is going to be the best at that point. We might do it on Ethereum chain. Might do it on Salon chain, Bitcoin can you know, but we'll see because we still have a couple years away, you know, from something crazy like that. I know GTA 6 is supposed to come out this year, but I think the PC version comes out in the year from the actual year. So,
Starting point is 00:28:44 but we got some time, but crypto's just going to continue to get bigger. So all the time in the world is great. Damn, that's crazy. Yeah, there's been so much. I didn't, I haven't dabbled too much in GTA. Honestly, I was more of a cod guy, but how big is that game going to be? Oh my God. There's so much hype on it. The game is going to be huge, bro. I wish I knew more about it you know i know that it's going to be a lot of crypto stuff involved i know there's going to be people a lot of people that are dropping certain things in the game like for example like certain podcasts exclusivity podcasts exclusivity music with rappers and podcasters etc and i know it's going to be crypto ran a lot of it i know crypto is going to be in the game for sure um it's just
Starting point is 00:29:19 funny to miami miami is known as the crypto city in america right now true so we're going to we're going to see man we're going to see and uh the cool thing is we have i think this year we're going to know a lot But what I will tell you is this, right now, you could have, like, a max slot on a GTA 5M server of 200 to 400 people. I think GTA 6 is going to hit new accolades. Imagine there's like, you're in the city of Miami and instead of like 200 people, you can have like 1,000 people. You know, maybe it's possible. I don't know. But one thing I do know is I know how to run a server very well.
Starting point is 00:29:47 I ran my SSB world pretty well back a few years back. So it's going to be exciting to see what it happens this time. Yeah, yeah. I saw you might, are you like young thugs fucking lean plug now or some shit? You saw that too? I was just trolling bro But, you know He was just tweeting about the lien
Starting point is 00:30:00 I was just trolling I kicked a couple long time ago But man if thug wants You know some Obviously you can't ever do it Because he's on probation But I'm glad he's freed though Shit
Starting point is 00:30:09 At least he's freed I'll pour him up some NyQuil Yeah Little Nykel Yeah Was that like the lowest point You've been at Lean?
Starting point is 00:30:17 I would think so Like in your life When I was doing lean heavily Yeah bro You just wake up every day At like 8pm You just sip lean all night And then you go to sleep
Starting point is 00:30:25 but it's this repeat it you know it's an opioid you're just sleeping sleeping sleeping sleeping um the one thing i will say about it is it catches up to you you know when i was withdrawing it was really really bad withdrawals the worst and it and it lasts for like one or two weeks of like sweating and fever and throwing up and all and poop so were you taking it just to sleep or like like what do you think maybe to get the high to get the high um it's been a while since i was consistently doing it which is great i mean bro like i'm a morning person now and it's like i love waking up at nine in the morning, eight in the morning. It's great. You get your, you're still so accomplished. Yeah. You hit the gym. You eat some food. You're just up for the whole day. I go to bed
Starting point is 00:31:02 at like 12 or 1 o'clock. It's so nice, bro. You wake right up. When you're on lean, bro, you have these like crackhead hours and stuff. I bet. Yeah. Drugs in general, bro, I think when you rely on anything, it completely brings you back, you know? You just backpedal yourself. I think just having nothing to rely on is the best. Just rely on your health and rely on, you know, yourself and you don't need any substance or anything else to rely on you know what what made you like was there a moment when you switched from like that to like gym life and shit yeah so when i was doing um let me try to put break this down for you so when i was sipping a certain amount and not getting high anymore because my tolerance was so high i was like okay i got to stop but i cold turkey
Starting point is 00:31:38 stop and you're not really supposed to cold turkey stop on hardcore shit like even if you drink alcohol let's say every day for two years and you stop you're gonna have issues you got to do it the right way you got to the first like 30 days is probably like to do the hardest yeah bro i mean they say get i vs you got to take medication certain things to just help yourself get off it um and yeah i you know i tapped them with the right people and i got off that shit luckily you know it was great there's people that are still on it and i've asked them like yo can you get off they're like fuck no i can't i'll die it's true and luckily like and again lean is still so bad for you but luckily it wasn't like anything more hardcore heard xanax is crazy like yeah dude and everything nowadays
Starting point is 00:32:14 is laced with fentanyl you'd be really careful bro we have a really really bad drug problem So what, the gym helped you kind of like turn shit around? Yeah. So that's something that helped me for sure. I think a lot of people that have like, whether it's alcohol or whatever you're addicted to, like yeah, you do got to replace it with something. And I try to tell people too, like, bro, the gym just fucking saves you, bro. Like, yeah, if you wake up in the morning and you like hit a nice workout, get your fucking heart rate going,
Starting point is 00:32:39 that in its own is like a drug. Like I'm like addicted to the gym for my own mental health. Dude, yes. If I don't work out for like if I'm traveling or something and sometimes I don't work for three days i start to fucking like i just feel like a slug how let me ask you a question i know you uh you in the gym do you do you also uh fast and stuff do you do any fasting i don't fast how's your diet though when i'm here i'll just eat like eggs for breakfast yeah and then just like rice and protein rice and protein that's it and two shakes a day got it so you're getting probably like
Starting point is 00:33:07 120 grams probably like 180 grams of protein 180 yeah yeah yeah yeah not right now i'm um because bro like i had a moment where i was like i'll go these little phase where I'm like eating like I love going out to eat I love dinners so I'll go out I was I'll go out to dinners is hard dude when they bring the bread to the table and shit too that's what fucks you Kyle if you stop going to gym for like two weeks you get fat I get fat again it sucks bro it's all diet dude it's all diet so when you're going to get bread and pastas and we're in Miami bro the best Italian food besides New York bro you are eating the cheese and all this it's just so good but one thing I did know is one thing I can tell you is when you get to where you want
Starting point is 00:33:46 be you know with your with your with your with your uh results from the gym you can go out and eat once or once a week or twice a week yeah as long as you're training uh-huh you're good yeah but the thing is like for me like i'll go on like an eating binge and i'll travel and you know how it is when you're travel bro traveling's tough dude it's hard to work out when you're traveling so i'll travel there here it's like it's been three weeks and damn i already gained 10 pounds like that so but now it's like if i'm going to eat make sure i sweat more i'll go in the sauna i just i don't know man it's just like you got it's all about balancing but we're humans we should be able to have fun and go eat you know yeah 100% but diet is number one
Starting point is 00:34:19 who are like the biggest streamers right now right now is i'll give you five that i see everywhere you got speed kai i would say max is doing his thing black by max doing his thing he's popping off right he's popping off um i would you know what i'm gonna put there i'm gonna even though like people are gonna be like what the fuck i'm gonna say neon bro he's had some good moments this year the past few months um i'm putting neon there and i'm gonna put um i'm put silky there too so he's been doing his thing and i'm happy to see what he's doing so you kind of popped off did you help like manage neon i how no i kind of guided him in a way a few times or a few a few uh for a few months uh here and there he's been like uh you know a friend of mine for years him and i butted heads a little while
Starting point is 00:35:00 ago but everything's good now it's all love now and he's doing his thing and he's grown and matured as a person he's doing great um so why did you guys like butt heads at the time i think Was that when he was going like crazy? Crazy on people and saying crazy things, he's relaxed now. He's calmed down. He was always like funny though to me. Yeah. Like he triggered certain people obviously like in the comments like everyone hates him and shit, but I always found him jokes. Not yeah, bro. Like for example, when I first brought him in with it was me, him and I think Tate is when people were first like, oh yeah, it's my first time. People just like were like laughing
Starting point is 00:35:30 and laughing but everyone's obviously roasting him. But now he's definitely humbled out, matured a lot. He knows what he wants to do and he's doing his thing. And I think anybody that's doing their thing And they're taking pride in it. They're doing a thing. It's great to see. You know, I love when people try and do what they love to do. So that's great. How do you navigate that, like, who you keep around you and stuff like that?
Starting point is 00:35:50 Yeah, well, nowadays, bro, I've just been enjoying a lot of life, which is really fun. It's fun sometimes to enjoy your success to look back and look like, oh, my God, I built this, I did this, I did that. And right now in my life, I've just been laying low worrying about this Twitch, this Twitch stuff. Which is smart. Yeah, yeah, man. I'm just connecting. I went on a couple family trip. my parents i haven't been doing i've never i don't ever do that and um me my dad we've been
Starting point is 00:36:14 we've been hanging out a lot so just getting close to my family you know that's good it's great right now for me what do your parents think about everything and how far you've come oh man they did they were they always they always were they've always believed in me they always gave me a leap of faith always and it's just great man it's great being able to tell your parents you don't have to work anymore and it's great to look them in the eyes like i got us i got this family now so but but yeah i mean They're blown away by everything. They still don't believe it. And, you know, parents, they're like, oh, honey, I don't want to spend this and that.
Starting point is 00:36:43 But like, come on, you can. Like, you know. So, but they're definitely getting more used to it, which is great. So how about, like, friends behind the scene? Is it tough sometimes to, like, keep certain people around or like, yeah, it's something I struggle with too. Dude, it sucks, bro. It's tough, right? It's like, people show their true color sometimes.
Starting point is 00:37:00 And it might take a year, maybe two. But when it happens, it's like, damn, like, I really fuck with this person. I really like this person a lot. And it's like, you happen to be a weird. And now it's like, damn. So I've been through a lot of people in and out. And sometimes you just got to cut people off that, you know, unfortunately don't fit your life anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And you evolve as a person as a human being. And it's life, bro. It's all part of life. You're going to outgrow a lot of people. But you learn that. I think that's one thing. I've heard you say it too. It's smart too.
Starting point is 00:37:25 I think like, yeah, even people in our crew, whether it's like Stiney or someone or anyone, they're always like, yo, we got to be doing this. We got to be doing this. But I think advice I'd say to people is like, this social media game is such a marathon. it's a mental marathon right yeah like i've heard you say mental health is just so important like if you don't have your mental health in this game you're fucked right so one thing that's good about you too is like yeah even if you like take a step away for a bit when you come back as long as you come back with something big things are right back to normal like if you look
Starting point is 00:37:56 10 years from now is anyone going to be like oh yeah eden took like two months off like that they're not they're not right like i agree with that yeah that's one thing i never stress about too is trying to like when you need a break do it you need a break yeah people won't forget i mean look people like us you're solidified exactly i can come back in any moment to do this and that and this and that it's like i know i can do that and if right now i'm having fun of my real life and i'm taking a break from things and i'm happy and as the hobbies i've ever been i'm gonna keep rolling the dice with that um and laying low is great and all these things but i'm just waiting i'm it's a waiting period right now for me but um i'll always be back and i always give people
Starting point is 00:38:31 what they want to see and um this year with events and stuff i'm really looking forward to that but but yeah man i agree with what you're saying it's like in 10 years from now when people look back it's like oh i didn't took a two month three month four month break but ah ah no one gives a shit in the long term what's what's like your ultimate goal you know i think about that a lot how old do you now 24 24 24 i'll be 25 this year which is nuts i think when you met me i was 19 and you were 25 crazy yeah you met me when i was 19 19 so yeah so yeah like that's that's crazy yeah popping off at 19 crazy man yeah i uh it's nuts but uh my goal is now I have the financial goal already kind of set.
Starting point is 00:39:07 So now it's kind of more just building stuff out and helping people and giving people opportunity. You know, that's the best that you could do for somebody is if they're lost in this world, try to guide them and give them the best opportunity that they want to, sorry, give them the opportunity the best way you could possibly do it. And I think that's the goals I have right now, helping people out and helping bring them to their goals and help them accomplish what they want to do success wise. You think you'll ever like stop streaming at a certain age?
Starting point is 00:39:32 Oh, definitely. I'll pop in and out. I'll always be in and out though. but I mean look man what do you think like what age I don't know I just think streaming nowadays it's changed and it's changed for the better which is great but it's very saturated very very saturated and I think nowadays what I can say is I just love to to to help people and I love my real life so much it's like I don't ever see myself being the everyday consistent streamer ever again but I do think I eventually want to do like a sabathon maybe because everyone's done one
Starting point is 00:40:01 but we'll see yeah when was the last time you've done something like that a long time time ago I mean yeah because you people ask us like why don't you get into streaming and I'm like dude I respect you guys for how much time because when you're on the come up you can't do it once a week right you got it like what for a beginner streamer tell them like how much do you need to stream oh man every day every day for how long oh man I would say at least four hours five hours I mean bro you you have to it when you're when you're coming up it's like it's very important you do that um I think max is going live 365 days in a row holy shit yeah he's on the come up though he's doing this thing people are first finding out about
Starting point is 00:40:33 has name and stuff and he has that goal set and it's great and you can only be happy for somebody like that's like they know what they want to do and let them do what they want to do and it's still so new to him so it's like he's still going to figure stuff out and um it's it's cool to watch his journey it's cool to watch people like that that have goals and and and they and they fall through with their goals and stuff so it's great i remember um max come to come sat with me like a year ago he's like you and i want to do kick i want to do kick and i really want to do kick and do this and that and this and Matt, I'm like, he's doing everything basically what he told me a year ago. Like, I want to do this.
Starting point is 00:41:05 I already know what I want to do. I'm going to blow up. Max knew it. And I'm actually happy he didn't come to kick. I know he's happy too because I don't think things would have worked out the way he expect them to. He stayed on Twitch. He did what he need to do.
Starting point is 00:41:18 And that opened up things like phase for him and all these other things and avenues. And now he's, now he's doing his thing. And you can only be happy for somebody like that. It's great to see. It's fun to watch. Are you ever amazed at like how viral some of your shit goes? Like, do you, like, when you ask Islam, I'm like the Wi-Fi thing.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Like, is there a little bit of you that's like, yo, this is going to snap if I ask that? Or are you being dead ass? I was serious. Yeah. I don't know. I thought they shut it off. But then I was like, oh, that's North Korea.
Starting point is 00:41:40 Yeah. I don't think they have Wi-Fi there. In Russia? No, North Korea. They probably have Wi-Fi. Kim Jong-un's got strong Wi-Fi. Yeah, yeah, probably does. That's my dream guest is Kim Jong-un.
Starting point is 00:41:49 See? But it's like, Kyle, that's like 90-something percent of people with platforms wouldn't even take that. Because you know he's fucking living over there. Oh, yeah, bro. He probably a crazy in here. I know Rodman went there, and, like, their snowmobiling and, like, it's crazy. They probably got some tricks behind the scenes there. Like, Kim Jong-in's living the life.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Yeah, you got them for sure. Ready to go, you know? But, no, I mean, yeah, that's, what are your top three guys? I mean, you've gotten everyone, bro. I always find the world leaders crazy. Yeah. Because, like, yeah, it's like, how the fuck are we, like, when we get Trump or, like, Elon or someone like that, it's like, how are they getting that person?
Starting point is 00:42:18 I think, like, us getting world leaders is, like, crazy. Yeah, Putin would be crazy. You got to do the Argentina guy, too. Yeah. Right now.
