It was in Hollywood.
They was part-in.
It was a lot of shit going on.
You know, the story behind the song, though, right?
Break it down.
Like him, Rick James.
Rick James producing a song for him.
The reason why they produce a song for him.
And he's saying, I can drop a song.
I can be successful if I chose to be a singer.
It was like a whole bunch of shit talk into that moment.
Eddie went and did it.
Song became a hit.
My fuckers just say they can do what they put their minds.
You know what?
I don't think you can make a song.
Let's go in the studio.
I already had two songs.
What are you talking about?
Oh, damn.
See, but back then, them,
the drugs, them niggas was on back then.
See, it all started.
They was kicking.
And then Eddie was like, I could do this shit.
And Rick was on the drugs.
We can't put the drug on.
Rick was fucking with the drug.
But any nigga that hung with Rick?
Shit.
I don't know.
I mean, you can say,
Gil, Gil, go a lot of people.
I know a lot of people to fuck.
I'm going to straight up.
Gil, when you was, listen,
when you were smoking dust blunts and coke blunts,
I didn't smoke, I was watching.
No, you wanted to, do you want to test it, though,
but you was too young.
No, I caught a couple contacts, but you were smoking.
And I don't want to throw the interview you off,
but let's just back up to what the exact definition of a dust blunt and the coke blend is.
A cold was him.
He was smoking a rambo.
A ramble would make you ram.
Give me a favor.
This is go back one more time.
So a rambo is what?
A rambo is crack cocaine.
It's cooked.
is powder cocaine
is weed
and his PCP
and after he smoked that
he'd strip out
when a fight
get tough
it was called
the Rambo
first of all
everybody
know that was
roly
that would be
no that was you
don't put it
that was rolling
that was you
that was you
what part of life
was you at
when you
this when he was young
he was 19
at the time
I was 16
this was when you
Ariab days
we used to be on
Bavere Street
and he used to get
I remember Gil
Ariavad
did
do you claim
Ariabab
Absolutely.
Oh, I'm just about to say.
I remember stick up Gil in his, in some of his glory.
Like, there was a, there was a time where ain't nobody want to be around.
The chain I like one time.
Nobody wanted to be around him.
Yeah, yeah.
That's the time of, I don't know.
That nigga they're going to get it.
You're going to catch one being in this.
No, you're hyping this nigga.
No, he died.
There it is.
The association of Gil was like, no, man, that motherfucker.
He got a lot going on.
He got a lot going on.
You don't want to be.
be in that a motherfucker
vicinity.
If they come back.
Him?
Yeah.
I was in jail.
I can't believe this shit.
You know what it was?
It was like eventually they're going to get revenge.
That's what it was.
And don't be around because he's doing dumb shit.
That revenge's coming.
Unless you want to take some of that goddamn straight confetti, I'm not going to be around that.
I speak to Gillie from the distance.
What up, Gil?
You ain't shit.
You ain't shit.
My mom told me she got to, no, sir.
You was on some dumb shit.
He was nobody.
No, man.
That was all hype.
I will not come on this show and shit on the legend attached to Gil's name.
Can I say this?
Can I ask you one question?
Yes, sir.
This episode, a million dollars worth a game is bought to you by New Amsterdam Vodka.
Now, today, we're going to do a little something different.
New Hampshire Dam Vaca is introducing Wildcard.
You hear me?
Look at that.
Eight ounce can.
The first canned beverage that New Amsterdam Vaca has ever distributed.
It's right here.
Wild card.
And it's made with real vodka.
We're not playing no games.
Okay, there's not no artificial shit going on.
No, this is made with real vodka.
And there come in three flavors.
Original hard lemonade, classic hard punch.
And this right here.
Lemon hard tea.
Yeah.
Look at it.
Eight ounces.
Look at it.
Real vodka.
Look at it.
Wildcard.
When you're out about, wherever you add at your local liquor store,
wherever they sell new Amsterdam Vaca
make sure you pick you up some
I promise you you will not
be disappointed try all three flavors
give all three flavors to try to figure out
which one you like the best
this right here is the lemon R&T
I think I'm about to crack this open and see what it's
about right now
based on and it's a measurement
and I say C minus
rapper because a lot of his shows
was in losing shoes
the blue horizon
the stinger
Jesus Christ
I know some truth for this
So I can't defend you
Thank you
You was doing shows and lose the truth
This is a bar y'all
This is a bar that can hold
35 people
He was on the grind
Now let's just
Let's call it what it was
But he was a bar
He was on the grind
In Philadelphia
You can't get out the city
Without paying
How much of the spots
Where the real ones go to
When you talk about losing shoes
Right
You know he had parties to
He knows
That was his spot
That was his
Thank you
Everybody know I ain't line now.
Hey,
Loser Chuse was definitely...
Now, I don't know how many concerts Gil had there, but I know...
The bus stop?
He did the bus stop.
He knows these fucks.
He know I'm not lying.
I'll give him...
I'll give him no bush.
I'll say new market cabaret maybe.
Yeah.
Back in...
In front of the thing is the Lusian Shoes, he said you said you said he was a loser's shoes.
He did a show in the parking lot.
If Stinger.
At the Stinger, he may have done the Stinger.
So what I'm saying is
That's on the grind
You gotta go through the stinger
You can't get to the-
It was two years of the game
Man, you can't get to the top
Come on, Gil
You didn't fucking deal
I was in jail
I was in jail
I was in jail
Hold on
I was in jail
And I need to know this calf
Okay
So these nickers
This when you was doing your thing
You was on your come up
And
I called home
I'm talking to Gil
He said man
He was with mine
Gil did his mom. Man, she did some crazy shit last night. I said, was it a time that you went to
a Gil party and my aunt was on some crazy shit? I got to be honest with you, man. No. No, I've
never seen your aunt on crazy shit. I've never seen Gil in a party-like environment through that
period. I knew about Gil. I knew about the streets. I knew about major figures. I knew about
all successes they were having in that time. But you got to remember, I was the guy in the hood
from the hood, but that wasn't acting with the hood.
Like, I wasn't allowed to do all the shit.
I didn't have all that freedom.
I was a dude with all the extracurricular activities.
I was on a swim team.
I was fucking going way out to the northeast.
I was going out to New York.
I was in Virginia.
You was on a swim team?
I was on a swim team.
PDR.
Philadelphia Department of Recreation.
That movie called PDR is based off of my swim team.
All right.
Now, now...
He was a bootleg swimmer.
I was a call me bootleg if you want.
Brother, I'm the real deal.
He's a real deal.
He can swim from here to Africa.
But I want to say this,
Keff.
You think my fucking body
is like this?
By accident?
No, because you work out
every fucking water.
This is a natural physique.
You eat grass and grapes.
I have a swimmer's physique.
I like that.
They refer to a swimmer as when I say
us and talk about me and Michael Phillips.
They talk about us.
How the fuck that's like that.
Hey, listen.
Now, listen, I want to
a real question, though.
You say it's something that's very important
and I think a lot of people hear this.
A lot of young people hear this.
You see it.
You had real activities in your life because you had a parent that, you know,
not saying that to nobody else's parent, that focused on making sure that you was busy and you was active.
How important was that?
And, you know, because a lot of parents are going to hear this to the success of you today.
It was, that was extremely important.
Yes.
I mean, you're in the inner city.
So in any environment, hood, no hood, kids without activities have nothing but time on their hand.
When you got that time on your hand, that's when you get, you know, that's when you get stupid.
That's when you do dumb shit.
Right?
Okay, I like that.
That's what you get to that part.
You just be running around.
Well, that's what you just, you don't have nothing to do so you're creating shit to do.
You read me to show.
Let's play knock a nigga in the head today.
Let's rob somebody.
Yeah, let's, today look like a good day to take somebody sneaks, right?
Like this.
Yeah.
You start doing that type of shit.
You know, I was, what do they call it?
I was being constructive with my time.
And my mom made sure that I didn't have any free hours.
So from 8 a.m.
in school to 7 p.m. at night or 8 p.m. at night, I had shit to do. I didn't have,
I didn't have the world of freedom to go out. Hang on, I wasn't on a stoop. By the way, not that
I didn't want to be on a stoop, because I did. I wanted to be out there. I wanted to be out there. I wanted to
sit out there and talk shit with my friends and, you know, do it was deemed to be cool. You had dreams
of hanging with us on the corner of Barry F. Absolutely. I'm not even going to sit up here and fake
as if I didn't, because my brother was a part of that.
My brother was the real deal from our household.
He had those stamps.
So my credibility came from the credit that he got,
and that's for my pass is to walk around and be free and cool
and nobody fuck with me came from.
So those badges were earned.
They weren't given, but I didn't have to do the shit that he did.
And he made all of them mistakes.
So my mom was like, I'm not going to let you do the shit that I let him do.
He didn't have the curfew.
He roamed and did what the fuck he went.
My brother was in our jail, sold drugs.
You know, went to the Army, out of the Army.
He was that child.
So with me, they didn't give me the free range.
So swim team, basketball team.
I mean, you talk about doing school programs in the summertime,
furthering your education, all of that shit.
I didn't have a choice.
So the stricter side of life is what was presented.
And I'm glad.
Like, you don't reap the benefits to that until you get older.
And you're like, okay, what do they do?
What did all that shit do for me?
I'm consistent because of it.
I don't do anything halfway and the idea the idea of not being mentally occupied is frowned upon to me like that's that's the worst that's the worst shit ever to not to not have something to do or to not have a goal or something that I'm working towards I don't I don't understand what life what life would be but that's him better than me so it definitely towards you discipline absolutely absolutely and and and
And, you know, when you start to see those that made it and those that didn't,
I don't fault anybody in their choices, but you see what, you see the circumstances that came
from my environment, right?
And, you know, not a lot of them end up being positive.
It was, it's a one-ray road.
And that, that road either ends to death of jail and we lost a lot of people from here, yeah.
A lot of fucking people, a lot of, a lot of people that I really knew.
No, in jail or dead
came from my fucking
My space of comfort
Where I lived
Where I operated on the day-to-day
From the goddamn apartment
To the bus stop to school
From seeing the people
What up?
Hey, what's going on speaking?
Book bag and hand, kid in hand
And you slowly stop seeing people
And the stories never change
It was
Such and such got shot
Yeah, it was all the same
Got locked up
Let me ask you this
They got indicted.
Yeah, all the same.

go sign up right right coming from you know not coming from
New York L.A certain places coming from Philly
how hard was that grind to get to where you is today I'm talking about
the ground level thing when you was just I don't think there's a better
I don't think there's a better environment to grind from yes I don't think there's a
better when you when you compare philadelphia to other places it's tough because the support that
the city gives to you only comes after you have proven yourself yes it is not it is not
automatic it is not because you from the city because you get on the stage because you think
you got talent we're supposed to back in support it's earned and with comedy you know in the
city that shit was tough like that's like you're you're you're performing in front of the people
whose idea of laughing in the beginning is laughing at your demise our idea of laughing isn't laughing
at you being funny it's in hopes of you going up not being funny because that's what we find
the funny like you right i was in the i was in the environment where the niggas was showing up right
the amateur nights where you just got 15 niggas and they sitting out there and they come for the
boo they come for the for the ignorance um so you you build you build a you build a nice
a nice world of fuck it it's gonna be what it's gonna be and if this one i'm gonna do then i'm gonna do it
and then the confidence grew as you start making them laugh if i'm making y'all laugh
because you're all vicious if i'm making y'all laugh right i'm gonna be okay if i'm starting
to turn the tables and this this room is starting to turn over these people are starting to
turn over my confidence is starting to get better
and when you start to get people show up
I remember amateur nights
when people used to show up
and oh we hope
Little Kev the bastard is coming to perform
oh we hope that guy's coming back
I started to get a little
a little bravado about me
and then the comics
I can shout out to the Philly comics man
I can go down from Turee Gordon
Buckwild
Big J. Ocerson at the time
you know Tommy Too Smooth
I can
go Keith Robinson
I can go
Of course my guys
Spankhorn Naimeland
But back then
Denny Lov
I gotta go
I gotta go D Lee
I gotta go
Like there was this
There was this
There was this room
Of funny
And this room was deemed
Philly funny
Like you know
The people that were
I gotta go B flat
The comedians, men, women that were in this room that were part of this environment, they were the shit.
And let me ask you the question.
When you was back in that environment, at that time, was it looking like you was going to be the one that go?
No.
And here's why, because you don't know.
what that means.
You're not associating
stardom
with the craft in the beginning.
The stardom is
being amongst the peers that are doing it.
The stardom is being able to get on stage time.
The stardom is the city going
that's my idea of stardom.
That's my idea of making it
at that moment. So every
tier that presented itself
became the next idea of
what was stardom. Right.
You don't see this level until the level presents itself.
You're like, oh, shit.
And you look back and you go, goddamn, I came.
I was all the way back there and I'm now.
Right.
So the idea of movies, the idea of touring arenas, that was not, that was not the idea.
That was not what I was doing for.
I was doing it because I was like, this is what I want to do, man.
And Eddie Murphy, the coolest motherfucker live.
Damn, man, if I could only, I just want to get on stage.
I want to feel that.
I want to get that love.
How do I get that love?
um that that was the goal so philly philly put me in a position to not to not care about the doubt right right
like you you once i started to make a little teeny bit of money doing comedy in philly well then i felt
like i can i can make it all over the world yeah i can go and do it and then the transition was to new york
but it started in philadelphia right philadelphia to this day is a place
where people do fucking
there's like a little hesitation of
god damn man I don't feel like dealing with these people
right oh fuck
go to Philly god damn and I hope these crowds
because I know they be rough
yeah there's always a little
inklet of in coming to Philly
so you can't
you can't rock my world
of confidence because of
my upbringing my environment
and what I was true to
especially in a place of comedy and those
comedians I can say those comedians
in the beginning that I developed around
you know they got a lot to do with it right
those attitudes those personas
that environment is necessary as needed
you become a product of it so
you're feeding off of that thing
that you're around
so that was my environment
the laugh house comedy club the new market cabaret
um oh my god lakeys
you talk about rooms you talk about him
performing you fucking around
I was in those spots
like 35 people
who type of no no less
I was in
the crab shacks
he was rapping at
well I wouldn't follow him
bro my rise was wasn't
10 of the joints my shit was
renting out the motherfucking skating rins
with 3,000 kids there you know
like spank over the shit and say I don't know what you
just said losing shoes you was doing
you was doing karaoke night up to prison man
you know what I mean
you was also it really is tough while
that you're trying to throw all this amazing like
these uh I don't know
you're trying to come with these zingers but you was in
Yeah, I did, I was.
Yeah, I know.
It's got a lot to do there.
Right.
No, I was doing it.
I had like three jobs.
You was in Christmas Carols with your motherfucking Sally on the 24th.
Just nuts, roasting on an open fire and all the little dumb and shit.
We was out here really.
I was getting the bag.
See, every Christmas time.
You was getting a bag.
You wasn't getting no bag.
No, I'm not talking about that bag.
It's a quarter.
It's a bag that they give you.
They give everybody a bag with all these little different snacks in there the night before in jail.
No, that was the night.
That was the day you wasn't Muslim, huh?
No, everybody, a lot of dudes are not Muslim on that day.
They take the back.
What do you mean?
I'm not saying they're not Muslim, but they take the back.
Spake, you bought a wow.
I mean, wow.
The skating ring.
Yeah.
Dances, all that.
I mean, that's, you're talking about.
That was in days, man.
You're talking about a different time, man.
Remember, you was one of them niggas fuck the floor up at dances.
Oh, my God.
Was he?
He was DM.
Dancing machine.
Left out that bitch with the wetest pair of jeans you've ever seen.
That was my Joe, too.
I used to always do you all.
So, both of you all for you all.
don't leave it, no buzz.
Don't get no ass.
That's cool.
Could you see Kevin at burn,

I would tell you, I will tell you confidently.
I left out that bitch.
I left out that bitch.
And the same car that I came in by myself, danced out.
So we got to be like, you see a little man over there.
Bam, bim, bam, bam, bam, bam.
He was teared it up.
By myself.
Rock on.
Yeah.
By yourself, doing that shit right in.
Same dance.
The same dance for three hours.
That was a dance.
And it was not.
It was a daze, baby.
Nothing was a day.
The highest club.
You never got no pussy.
It was a different time.
You didn't get no action, man.
He know what I'm talking.
You was he in the zone.
Well, don't throw me in the no pussy thing.
Don't throw me.
No, but you threw me in the zone.
You threw me in there like you was with me.
No, I'm just saying.
You know the zone.
I know.
Like, y'all didn't go there, but warm my motherfucker up all night that they left
and what to a home to another nigga.
I'm on my way there.
Y'all all in there with that dumb shit.

Y'all would have been
The MPBs back in the day
No pussy boys
If you were the guy
You went to dances
You went to dances
To dance
The women used to rave
over the guys that wasn't afraid
to jump in that middle
because they make the circle
and it's all about getting in the middle

I'm 43
Yeah
We used to be doing so
It'll be like this
Wilder go warm them bitches up for me
He over there way, didn't respect the culture of what dances was.
That's what dance is dancing.
You're going at a dance.
Not be the freaky dude in the corner looking with the eyes and waiting for a girl to look like she's just bored.
And you come here.
We don't need to be here.
That's me.
Why are we here?
Why are you doing?
Yeah, no, we came to dance, man.
That's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous.
Shots out the dances from back in the day.
Shout out to Bobby Dance.
Bring him back.
Bobby Dance.
God damn.
That's a legend.
Shots out to Bobby Dance,
you know what I mean?
Philadelphia history right there.
See, this is the stuff
that y'all need to bring up
and educate people.
Dances was a Philadelphia historic place
back in the day.
Night on Broadway.
Historic place back in the day.
The parking out of stingers where you performed that.
Losing shoes.
Let me tell you a story about dances.
Me and him,
we go on a stick up.
Oh, Jesus.
Right?
Listen, we rob a nigger for us.
some things and one of the things was his chain he wanted to keep the chain all right go ahead
keep the chain we go to dances a week later he had the chain for a week I go into a store
when I come out the store a old head in a trench coat with a rusty 38 with tape on the
handle robbed the shit out of him for the chain for the same chain that you robbed no but let me just
explain some of you he was he when I tell you he was
flustered, he was going to kill
me. Listen, listen, listen. Listen, listen, listen.
There's a difference when an old head
walk up on you with a gun and he got
tape on the butt of the gun. He means
business.
This is his area
of concentration. And he said
young boy don't play with me, man.
I'm like, I've been
waiting for you to come and get this change.
I was holding it for you.
Where you been at old head? Why was you?

Oh, my God.
I did not walk down that street for at least a good 10 to 15 years.
But you know what's so crazy?
That's Carlisle Street, right?
That's a dangerous plot.
Oh, my God.
You know how many people got robbed coming from out of Studio 37?
Yes.
Going to their cars or that block?
When that's a dangerous block, man.
Death trap.
Got us.
They got one of the Ariavs on.
God, he called my mom a broke bitch.
I never forget it.
Through the fanny pack back at her.
Let me ask you a question, though.
You looked at your mom a little different, though.
Then you said my mom.
of fucking gangsta.
Well, that's what you realize.
You don't even, there's not even
the idea of
gangster, no gangst, there's
like, there's the level of
give a fuck and don't give a fuck.
It's that simple. It's like,
do you give a fuck or do you not give a fuck?
My mom's like, I don't give, I ain't got time for this mess.
Like, she was, she was so
okay with the environment of what
she sees on the day to day, that had
no relevancy. It didn't matter.
We didn't talk about it. It wasn't
something that she called, everybody. Oh, my
God and got there and had to follow free.
She didn't say nothing else about it.
Picked up the Fanny back, told me he pushed the car.
We went home. That's what Airy Ave was.
Fucked him up for life, man.
No, no, I didn't go down that block.
Until this day, I'm not walking down car.
He's smart.
Until this day, you tell me he going on there right now.
I'm going to say, you go first.
When they put the mural, when they put the mural on the next side of Maxis,
you was that close to Carl out.
Well, I was also in the car.
He was a black away.
He was right there.
He was also in the car.
This nigga watched his mural from the car.
That's nice.
Hey!
Pull out.
There it is.
I got mistake.
Hurry up.
Go, go, go, go.
There it is.
Kev, get out.
Walk on it.
I'm not going on that block.
I'm not going on that block right there.
I don't know he out there.
I got, I say, that was my big, that was a big incident.
And one time me and my boy Adam, no, no, it was me and Rashid.
We got into it with these, with these guys.
These guys from Susquehanna and Dolphin.
And we got into it.
and they showed up in North Philly one day
when we was like, you know, we was just chilling.
We was a Chinese store.
We got some wings and we walked and they showed up.
It was like three, four of them.
And I remember we got jump.
They whipped our ass out there.
That was the only two incidents that I had.
Change your life.
No, we went back up to Susquehanna, Dolphin.
What?
Yeah, but I didn't do the work, though, but they did.
Did you say, get him?
No, no.
I acted like I was in the car and I was about the business.
Yeah, no, y'all already know what it did when we get here.

Now, Gil's sweatpants fit weird.
They're like,
they like weird at times.
He got a coach hoodie on?
Yeah, he's like,
kill they're here, an assistant coach
for all these different programs.
Listen, see, this is the thing, right?
When you get a little older,
you don't give a fuck about nothing,
but the money and the family and your health.
And so when you hang with this nut-ass dig every day,
I'm not getting dressed to hang with this.
No, no, no, no, you don't care anymore.
You choose comfort over quality.
You're at that point.
That's my brother.
Just because you want to come in with this tight fit
and Advocisie sweatsuit on for 13,000 for no fucking reason.
I still care about.
I still care about the way I look
And this expensive ass watch
Listen, you're at a point
Nick, that's a song
Get off my life
You still got an area
Yeah, that's what I said
You know what
As a matter of fact
Spank put this in the bag

Hold that Spank
Spank put it in the bag
Leave now
All right
Let's go
Just leave now
Don't worry about it
I know where we still
If he'd do anything
I'll take the place report
I know what we ask
Bank
No what watch is that

I'm not getting into these conversations
No I'm just like that
No it's a great watch man
If I told you you
It's cool
Tomics. It's just a nice watch. It's a beautiful
watchman. You know, I'm a watch head. That's my thing.
Oh, you are? I'm a watch fucking hit.
I'm going to watch it. It's not your goddamn business.
He will rob you. Like, let him. He's not your goddamn business. He's still
in Ariav time. One moment, he's going to do a sticker.
But that's what I mean? I haven't lost that.
You're going to put it. Yeah. You see, I'm like, what did you
ran up on you and your mom?
Fuck is your problem. That's what you. He was bitching. He ran up on his
his mom. Get that put. But he was like, just
give it up, mom. He was supposed to be. What are you
doing, Mom? What are you doing, Mom?
Kev, Kev, he really knew it wasn't nothing in there.
He's like, it's nothing in there, Mom.
Kev, you're better.
Just giving him a fucking tokens.
You're a better man than me, Keff.
Yeah.
Prime example, how that wouldn't have happened.
Dude would have come up.
Shut up, bitch.
Give me that gun.
I'd have been like,
you're right now.
Mine would have been, she had her head or that.
I'd have thought that would have happened when she got home.
I would have found, I'm running.
Fuck it, Mom.
We both have got to go, Mom.
I love you, but.
That's what I was, y'all partners.
Like, what?
Because he would tell, or I would tell.
It would even wait.
Somebody got caught.
No, we both told him on the cell.
Back in, you remember the time when we robbed the, you know.
See, I'm not always been an athlete.
He always told him.
He told us what he did the time.
So he always got caught up at 11, he was my partner, and I always went to jail.
He did.
He never went to jail.
He never went to jail.
He never went to jail.
He never went to.
His last time, he was staying on the ground told him a,
cahs come out.
Cahs come out
They got us
I'm like
What the fuck are you talking about
How do I always get caught
He got us
The fuck as you're talking
He always told him
Yeah
I tell I never get locked up
No you got
I only been locked
The one time
In my whole entire
Because they didn't take you down
Because in the back
Of the paddy wagon
You got busy
Here's my question
Gil
But you was like
There was a moment
Where you were the real deal
In ball too
Still is
No listen
He went to a off-brand college
No
I get that
But there was a moment though
We used a real deal
and ball in the city too.
People associated you with basketball heavy.
Yes.
So at that point, you still were,
you still were torn the line between being a loser.
Being the fucking, the street nigger,
stick up.
No, you got to understand.
Some real shit is that I used to go to college, right?
I would be at college.
I would come home and do stickups.
Me and this nigga would do stickups,
and then I would go back up to college.
Like I had an apartment up,
Stanton Avenue off of campus as well
because I moved out my mom crib at 18
I never been back you feel me
so like literally
So sleeping on the couch? I would come home
If you slept on the couch on the weekends
And we would do
Arm robbery
And then I would go back up to college
That was the plan. That was the move.
I mean that's all I
That's all we knew. It started off
Every Avenue you know how I started off
Your brother was out there
You start off you 11, you 12
They got the bamboo earrings
It's 88
You snatching earrings
Wham! Oh you're
run the mics might give you 100
being 50 you by time you come
back they're already on the XH client
on their way to the day you waiting on the next subway
stop to come up they so
that's how it started off you know what I mean
then as you get old it's like
I don't want no fuck a hundred dollar air rings
I'm trying to rob this whole dice game
yeah and come up quick
and you got to understand and robberies
that should be some of the fastest shit
like literally is one minute and you got
everything like that's why I never hustle
growing up. I never understood hustling
growing up. I'm like, y'all niggas get a pack.
Y'all go stand on a corner.
Y'all got to sell that shit.
Give him back $100
and y'all keep $25?
No.
Get that shit up. Oh,
I got everything.
So that was my mentality.
You feel what I'm saying? I had a fucked up
mentality. Yes, he did. One time we robbed
an off-duty police officer.
And I told him about the time we got to the car,
I don't think it's a good idea.
we need to give him his stuff back
and he wanted to argue with me
and I'm like cuss give it back to him
he's a cop
you seen this bad this dude
this back in the day
so the stats are limitation on
I'm like let's just get
he's him why are you bitching
I'm like I think this is the right thing
to do even we're going to do the right thing
or I'm going to do the right thing
because I'm going to report this
I think this needs to be reported
I was going to report it
because it was like
why I was doing this
first of all
he wanted to be a loser
I'm like yo bro I don't think that was cool
first of all first of all
let's just keep it real
we did not know
that that nigger was a fucking cop
The nigger had the fucking watch on that
Once we was notified that he was
We gave it back
We should have gave him back
Hold up
Hold up wait wait
I'm a cop
And I said
I don't get fuck what she is
You better hug that fucking tree
Nick
He hugged the tree
And I totally
I don't think
It's a good idea
Yeah
Wallo don't sound like a good partner
He wasn't he was a bitch
Yeah
You don't sound like
The guy that after you've done
He put all the shit in here
He said y'all
I think they follow him this guy
Why don't that guy
Wallo was the dick of that.
I'm looking back.
We'll be driving the one.
Digger dad.
He was the digger day.
They were,
the cops.
Whoa,
go, let's go.
He was,
that's why he was the one
that got,
they did the most time.
Because he was the one
with the conscience.
He was the one that
whole time.
We threw Nogh right on.
We in the car.
Stolen cop,
Glock with C notes in my hand.
I'm like,
this is not.
I'm like, we should drop
that gun off at this police station.
I'm waving a gun on.
I'm like,
he in the back seat like this.
I think we fucked up.
Like, we're done.
This, we're done.
Like, I don't think you know what we did.
Shut the fuck up.
The same way we are now, that's just how we was back then.
Shut the fuck up.
It's a bad partner.
Yeah, he was a bad partner.
That's a bad partner.

Coming up from Philadelphia.
I only know that because you know I relate.
I was the same, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
He was on my turn.
Fucked up part.
Same nigga.
That's why I did it by myself.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm the one that rolled up on the dice games.
I'm the one that rolled up on some of them houses.
And by the way, when I rolled up, they already knew what it was.
I know.
You were just saying how?
No, it wasn't a question.
Look, if you saw me and you saw the, because I had the mask.
I had the mask.
Back in the day.
When I came on, my move was out the car, mass down, wow, everybody.
Get it.
Want it.
And they was like, oh, come on.
They used to call me, Little Dirty.
Little Dirty, don't do it.
Don't do it.
And I was like,
Bob,
I'll just shoot them off.
Bob,
Bob.
Just a couple of shots in the air.
That's enough.
I knew I wasn't playing.
Get the motherfucking bag.
And the,
them licks was adding up.
Then I got caught.
I got caught off of the join.
You know the bridge.
You know the bridge?
I got caught off of the motherfucking bridge.
Under the bridge is where I used to hide my shit.
I took the bricks out because I had a contractor license as well.
So I was real good with my hands.
So,
I built under the bridge.
I built another fucking wall.
That's why I put on my dope.
And they found.
They fucking found my shit
And had me
When they got me
They was like
Where the rest of it
And I was like
Nicky in the ground
And that's when
They bused me
But you know
The whole thing with that bused is
They also knew I was a good kid
So they didn't
They didn't hold everything against me
Because they said I had a future
So I was able to leave that shit behind
You told us some niggas
Last time
Yeah I'm saying
Came down to it he told all some niggas
Kevin Wallo or Rizzy
Yeah that's cool
I'm gonna ask you something important
Right
They said you was a
You had a shitload of cloud homicides.
A little dirty.
He said, you was a cloud shooting up.
I said, you was a cloud shooting up.
Everybody get on a bupah, bupah, but, blah, blah.
Now, when success come, Kev, how do you deal with the close proximity entitlement from people that made it came up with you in the game or family members?
How do you deal with entitlement when people say, Kev, the hard work you put in, I want a benefit of that or I want you to finance the lifestyle that you don't live for yourself.
for me.
My circle is very small.
Okay.
My circle is extremely small.
It's not a, there's not a wide variety of individuals and personnel around me.
Like the, through the journey of success, the same people have been there from the beginning
to the end.
So the sense of entitlement, I'll say that we face or that is rare with its head in our
friendship and our group, we've been able to nip it in the bud because of the,
of our relationships like we're real friends real brothers right you know the the idea of checking
someone or making one understand like when you're out of bounds out of pocket it's not as hard
right but i think the expectations are just unrealistic with what people expect you to do because
of your success people go you're there and you get in all this so why can't you just easily
bring me on why can't you put me on and while you're trying to get on people
expect you to do for them
when you're still doing for yourself.
Like I'm just now in
the position where I can really
make the extension of an olive branch
and make things happen for other people.
Make real career moves
for other people. I'm just now
at the point of real control.
When you're still a work for hire,
you're still a work for hire.
But you can't explain that to people
that don't have an idea of what that means.
Like just because I'm in a movie,
I don't run that movie.
I'm not in charge of that movie
I was hired to do the movie
Lead or no lead
I may work for hire
So it's not until that change
And you now become
The man that's in control
Of the machine
Like you really got the hat
And you make the decisions
And you're doing the cast
And you're doing the budget
And you're the partner with the studios
Because you're a studio
Now it's a completely different scenario
But back then
Our arguments or our
I think our role blocks
That percent of themselves
was just based off expectation and wants that weren't realistic.
Right.
So my conversations was like, dude, you're talking as if you're not with me and if you don't know me.
Right.
You're falling into the same space that people out there are supposed to fall into.
Right.
It's like when everybody sees the basketball player get drafted, the first thing they say is,
oh, my God, man, he's a millionaire, he got so much money now.
He doesn't.
Right.
He doesn't have so much money now.
He just got drafted.
He hasn't even received his first check.
Right.
But that first day on draft day, people are like, hey, man, you know there's a good time to, and you think you can help me.
He just got $10 million.
Oh, my God, man, we know you got the money just came in.
He doesn't have it.
Right.
That money's paid out through the duration of a year and it's paid out weekly and weekly it's taxed.
And he's got a lifestyle.
He's got his bills.
So you can't spend all the money because the money has yet to come.
But people are counting your money as if they know what the money is and how it's divvied up.
And that's the biggest problem with entitlement.
So when you talk about people's, the pressure.
that people put on you
well your rebuttal is
don't have a lot of people
that you got to fucking reply to
you keep that number small because
when it's small you're now having real conversations
versus the fuck is you talking about
like a bunch of those are draining
when it's small
and people actually are receiving
the things that you're saying
and there's an understanding of why
then that that
small group grows
and we don't get bigger in people
but we get bigger in knowledge and understanding and development.
Right.
The rapport that we have is one that just can't be infiltrated.
And that's why I love my fucking contained-ass group.
Right.
That plastic cup boy shit is for real.
Like we built it.
We stand on it.
We abide by it.
And it's still moving until this day.
Yeah, there's been some ups and downs.
But that nucleus of eight, maybe nine tops, it's a foundation.
That's life, though.
Ups and Downs is a part of life.
It's the best.
You know what I mean?
But the show of true friendship and true brotherhood is when you go through your ups and downs and you're still together.
Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
A lot of people go through ups and downs and then is, I don't fuck with him no more.
I don't.
Well, you really didn't fuck with him.
Absolutely.
You know what I mean?
So if they ain't do nothing that's that serious.
Who stands the test of time?
Right.
Who stands the time?
And then, you know, that envy thing plays a major part, right?
Like, who's really happy for you?
Who's really happy for your success?
Genuinely happy.
Like, who's really they?
And they're like, dude, it's so dope to see you do what you did.
Like, who's, who's really looking at you guys in this space?
Like, God damn, man.
The motherfuckers started here and now they hear, yo, it's dope to see from the outside and watch you guys.
Like, where are you getting that energy from and where is it genuine?
I think that's the separation, right?
Because you got different looks that you receive.
Right.
You got to.
Mm-hmm.
Why you and I mean.
Right.
I'm over here.
I've been doing this shit.
Forever.
yeah now you right come on man like that's crazy like you got you got a bunch of those that's crazy
that's crazy that that's crazy those add up absolutely but then when you do you do receive the genuine
and you you you look at where it comes from man I think it's uh that's what makes it worth it that's that's the
that's the ammunition and fuel that you need to not just notice you doing the right thing but notice the
trajectory right right like it's it's it's going to get bigger can't get bigger but with the right
people around you, your head can stay in the best spot ever.
And I do credit my fucking circle, my surroundings to me not going on the crazy
side of Hollywood or the crazy side of, you know, ego or just that that mindset that you're
bigger than the world and you can't be humble, right?
Like I'll say my guys have done a great job, guys household.
By the way, I have been humbled.
I've been sat down in more ways to be.
So I'd have been punched in the fucking
phase by life, by the business, and
that helps as well. But
my foundation definitely is
one of the best pieces to this puzzle.
Let me ask you this question. Being that you've seen all
spectrums
of the arena,
you've seen the ups, the highest.
I don't know if I could say the highest of the highs,
but to me
in this shit, you're the biggest
motherfucker. You feel me?
But then you've seen some
down moments with, you know,
the social media, the gram,
they talk in, they chopping it up.
You know, they talk and they shit.
But then you come right back.
You hit them with some movies,
you hit it, and you write back,
do it ever fuck with your confidence?
You know, when,
it's the best question you get
because people really don't believe
or,
or I don't think they think
that I'm being serious
when I give my answer.
What you can't,
stop or control you can't stop
or control
right like what's done
is done for the world real quick
before I answer this you don't know what I'm drinking is grand
Cormino the best tequila that you can buy right
now to Cristolino it's a clear reposato
making it your business
to get in this business and be a part
of my business it's good business
sorry about that
by the way this episode of me and I'm
as well both of you by New Hampshire
yeah sorry sorry about life ain't going your way
Shout the new Amsterdam
Waka
That's
Coach your bitch
Cheating a day

Drink it with juice soda
Or you could just
make a classic New Hampshire Day of Mule.
That's up to you.
But when you're out and about at your local liquor store,
make sure you get some.
And it's great for pre-gaming.
I'm talking about football season is now.
I don't know what city you're in.
If you're a Bears fan, you're a St. Louis fan.
You're a Eagles fan like myself.
You know, it's great for pre-gaming.
So when you're out and about,
make sure you get you some new Amsterdam VACA,
the official vodka of bars through sports
and a presenting sponsor for a million dollars worth the game.
What, guys, I am all about partnerships.
And let me tell you something, Amsterdam Vox.
If you do not understand it, you should, you got a great partners.
God damn it.
Partners are people that embrace the product.
That's dope shit.
Good shit, y'all.
I want to say this, too.
I want to rename your crew.
Dirty cup boys, that's a dirty cup you drink.
I know it.
I knew it.
I knew it was a dirty cup.
Dirty cup boys.
Nah, damn.
It was a matter of time.
That was cool.
Clean cup boys.
My fault.
You cool.
I'm going to answer your question.
So look, the, uh, what you can't control, you can't control.
right
I am a
my ability to process
and be very realistic
about the way
that I process
life's moments
I feel is one of my
biggest blessings right
I don't engage in the world
of
fuck
god damn is bad
well once it's bad
well you can only think about
how to then turn it good
so my focus immediately goes
to the work
that has to be done to make something better.
Right.
So when I've fallen, when I've stepped in the shit,
it's all right, well, I got to go find some water
to clean off my shoes, and I'm not going to throw my sneaks away.
It's going to clean them good, and I'm not going to step in shit anymore.
I'm going to look down before I walk now.
Right.
When I've fallen and it's time to get up,
I will, am I just jumping back up?
Or should I sit down for a second before I get up, look around?
All right, people saw me fall.
I'm not embarrassed about it.
Let me get up, stand up on my own and dust it off,
but show that it's not a bad thing to fall.
Like, I'm that guy.
Right.
So I think the best thing that can happen to any of us,
and I've said this several times,
is the world a fuck up.
Is the world a problem?
Like, you, people are afraid to embrace that shit.
I'm not.
Like, embrace the good, the bad, the ugly.
Right.
Because that's how the dope shit.
That's how the dope shit gets discovered.
Right.
You don't know how dope the shit.
shit is until you've done
the undote. The
undote makes you go, okay, now this is dope.
This is right. This is actually fucking
great. Right. Right. This is
unbelievable. You don't know how
fucking blue water can be till you've been in the water
that's not that blue. Yeah, this water
is dark as shit. But you find
until you go over there and say, yo, god damn.
Look at this shit over here. Everything
is a discovery.
I embrace the progression
in discovery. So
so entertainment moment life moment career moments personal moments I've been on all fucking
sides of the spectrum I've seen it all and I would not be in the seat that I'm in today
I would not be able to handle the volume of shit that comes with sitting in this chair
if I didn't go through all of the shit that I've been through right and I do mean that
right because now you're just able to see from every single
lens. I'm able to see from every single point of view. I don't know everything. I don't need to
know everything. I don't want to know everything. But I do know how important it is to listen. I do
how important it is to fucking understand. So I do my best to try to do that at the highest level.
And if and when I do, great. If I don't, then maybe I need more help processing it. I'll be
patient enough until I get it right. And eventually I'll be all right. And it's hard to see through all
spectrums, through all lenses when you never failed. You know what I mean? So failing is, you know,
It makes you re-evaluate.
It make you, you know.
People are afraid to fail.
Yeah, absolutely.
They're afraid to fucking fail.
And that's what, you know, that's one of the biggest questions that I, that I ask.
Like, it's, it's, it's the why.
You know, if you're, if you're afraid to fail, it means you're afraid to start.
Right.
But you're afraid to start.
That means you're never really going to get an understanding or answer when it comes to the world of you doing what you want to do.
Right.
You know, I want to do such and such and such and such and say, but man, I don't want to do it because they fuck around and they don't like it.
probably ain't going to work.
They're probably not going to like me.
Well, that means you're afraid to start.
Because you're already thinking about the thing that's going to be wrong.
So there's a multi-layer in that space of fear, right?
And if you're attaching it to failure, you're losing already.
So I'm from the side of discovery.
I don't know what I'm not going to like until I fucking try it.
I don't know what I'm not going to be good at until I tried to do it and realize it wasn't my cup of tea.
Whatever that thing is, you got to try it.
You got to do it.
And what I love the most about now, about where I'm now,
is I'm able to give the information.
You know, these fucking books that I've been writing,
these audio books that I've been releasing.
The last one was the decision.
And that's on Audible.
This one that I just put out was called Monsters and How to Tame Them.
And where can they get these books?
It's on Audible, right?
These are audio books.
But the reason I'm bringing it up is this isn't me preaching.
It's not me.
talking at you
it's me going
I'm giving a tutorial
of moments
obstacles
breakdowns
presentations that the business
and the life
in the business presents
while
I was in a world of not knowing
what the fuck anything was
here's my mistakes
and I just want to tell you what the fuck they were
here's how I got better in dealing with them
here's some of the things that fucking caught me off guard
here's how I handle what I'm going I'm just giving information
these little tidbits to something will be valuable
if we had more information
that people shared information do you know how much further
so many of us would be in our culture
if motherfuckers wasn't so secret
with their road to success or their journey
of how they got to or their mistakes or mishaps
do you understand how many fucking people
would have a much clearer role
in the place of business.
We were talking this morning about just in a music business, right?
They were just saying like, you know,
when it comes to the younger artists and artists in these contracts
and getting fucked over, et cetera, et cetera.
And I was like, in today's time,
these younger artists have access to the older ones
that didn't do it right,
that made the mistakes that signed a bad paperwork.
So if they could give the information of what you should look for,
why you shouldn't just sign,
here's the things that really should stick out to you get this lawyer these are tricky parts get a base lawyer you ain't got to give if the information if one of them just did something where they gave the information of
amen to these young up-and-coming artists we know how important this for you to get out the trap for you to get out the hood we know what that dollar looked like in the beginning hey take that money but here's what you got to fucking look out for here's what I want you all to start doing now that information if they do give they do obtain it right whether they choose the use it or not it's there it's there

that helped him get off the couch.
But today, we got somebody special to have been here before
and he gave away a zillion dollars worth of a game,
help a lot of people get their credit together.
He also started a lot of people credit business game.
From the information they gave,
we got my man, Him 500, aka Slim 500.
and he's on the show today.
He's going to get you, listen,
he's just giving away
a bunch of free training.
I'm talking about he is going crazy.

He's giving out game

But him, listen, man.
Hold on, man.
Before we even get any further.
I need you to text
because I need you to be tapped
into all the stuff you got going on.
I need you to text live.
L-I-B-E to 404-7-37-37-67-67.
404-7-37-67.
I'm talking about this is live.
text live and we're live and he's not playing him tell us what you got going on tell him about
this free training hold on hold on man first of all for you you go any further man i got to get his nigger
a platinum salute salute you know what i mean my nephew rap who's down in alana right now
he's going to clark alantic college he watched the episode that you was on where you taught people
how to fix their credit right there from home he took that information and started his own credit
company.
Off of that, he elevated his whole life, man.
At 18 years old, man.
Kim been mentoring.
At 18 years old, he elevated his whole life, man.
So I just want to commend you for that, man, because the shit you're doing out here,
you got 10,000 mentees under you that I've seen personally.
A lot of them were you putting two 757 Delta Jets and flew them down to your events for
free to see me and Wallow
and Ross and Magic
John. Just everybody. All types of people. Floyd made with Floyd.
So, you know, man, I commend you for really controlling this business shit
like you really do and showing people of our color, of all colors
and all nationalities that you could be a black man in this
motherfucking world and really went out here because your fucking house.
Nicker!
That's best tackling.
That shit spectacular, man
He got invisible security
Man, that's shit like the Jetsons, man
You walk past the house
You get too close
It's gonna throw you across the street
Right man, that's shit
Crazy next level shit
Tell us what you got going on man
And how you're gonna help our followers
I want to give him another salute
I just want to salute you
Because what you did this
You understand together each achieve more
Teamwork make the dream work
I've seen you give resources
You didn't you say hold up
Don't compete with me
Come and eat with me
You gave resources
There's so many brothers man
That's doing anything
brothers then since it's out here that's doing anything you put them in the circle you get them
resources right you get them all information that they needed to amplify what they had going on so
i salute you for that but go ahead yeah go ahead so tell us what i appreciate i appreciate it man it's so much
y'all spoke on that i could i could lean in on but my you know why we do the highlight is that
we got to be able to understand that it wasn't a lot of people to mentor us like we don't got a lot
of mentors now and we can see that now we can be cool when it comes we can make it into rapping
but we can understand the rap business so you got people that's you know taking
they own money and learning how to be independent.
You got comedians like a Kevin Hart who's not only a comedian now.
He's a business owner.
A big town business owner.
So we may have a talent of a rapper, but we all got to be business owners.
We all have to be entrepreneurs.
And a lot of times we don't have the resources or somebody to mentors on the business side.
Now we're learning it and we know it's cool.
So now it's time to start like really turning it up when it comes to business.
And that's my thing is that I want to train people.
Like I don't want to say, yo, pay me for something.
I want to give you something for free.
but I want you to come and work with me live
I want to earn your trust I want you to really see like
ask me questions I want to work with you live
I want you to be able to ask me questions
and so we can actually dedicate
the information to what it is that you do
a lot of times is that
I know you could buy courses I got
every course under the center in recession proof
but I want the followers
for me and everybody who support to actually come
learn live for me right because a lot of us don't know
like yo I can start my own business like you got people out of
entrepreneurs they or they in the rap they want to
on trucks they want to do things they don't know that you know what banks that they can actually
go to they don't know how to go like they don't know go to a credit union before you ever go to a bank
you know you go start with your local credit unions first and that's how you establish your credit
that's how you start because why they give larger lines you can go get $25,000 from uh FDU
go get $25,000 from a key bank you know what I mean and that's what a lot of people don't realize
so first tech is another one you can go get $25K on your personal go get $25,000 for
That's three institutions I gave y'all.
That's 75K.
All you need is a 710, 720 credit score.
It don't even got to be nothing, you know, stupendous.
But they'll give it to you.
Now when you go to an Amex, you have those larger lines.
If you go to Amex out the gate, a lot of people got denials
because they didn't have larger lines or they gave $2,000, $3,000.
And if you only use a 10% or 30% utilization of those cars at $2,000,
that's nothing.
It's crumbs.
So when you go get a 75, you got to understand is this.
This is just for my entrepreneurs, what I want you to understand.
You go to the credit unions first.
Go to the credit unions.
They'll give you larger lines.
You let those sit six months to a year.
Then you go over to your Amex.
Then you go over to your Chase.
Now you can just set up an LLC.
Set your business up.
You don't got to go and do all of the Grangers and set everything up.
You can still go get a $75,000 credit card on the business side.
Imagine getting $75,000 from Chase, $75 on the Amex.
That's $150.
50,000 that don't show up on your credit.
Now we start figuring out what, and how do I leverage this and what businesses do I want
to go into?
If you're a rapper, you can, now you've got budget, right?
You can afford features.
If you're a comedian, you need to travel, you need to create content, you need to, you know,
be able to distribute it, pay for advertisements, do things to reenact funds, to get
funds back, things you can do outside of that.
A lot of people, not entrepreneurs.
How many people know that, have you ever heard of Jay Vizu?
right you were like nah how many of y'all out there heard of jvizu right this is where it's called
the jv is for joint venture imagine that somebody has a business already imagine new amsterdam
vodka they're already established and have a business and they told you i'll pay you to sell my stuff
see now you can go out there and you find businesses that have affiliate programs so if they got
affiliate program you can go to jvizu um plr hustle um and click bank is banks that you i mean is businesses
is you can partner with.
What they'll do is allow you to sell somebody else's product.
So imagine selling somebody else's product and getting paid for it.
My goal is I tell people, this is just one stream of income.
You can get money from the banks and go sell somebody else's product.
And when?
And now people say, well, how do you sell?
What products do I sell?
Which ones?
You want to sell ones that create monthly reoccurring revenue.
So if somebody charges, let's say you went into credit repair.
Shout to Rap, 215, right?
He didn't credit repair.
He uses a credit repair cloud.
It's $179 a month for the software.
Guess what?
Off that software for people who want to start a credit repair business,
you can go and if I send him that link, right,
off that $179, I'm getting paid every single month when he get paid.
I teach people credit repair.
Well, when they sign up for a credit repair cloud,
I get paid off of it.
I make $60,000 a month in affiliate fee from somebody else's business.
Imagine if I took a credit card and I,
I said, yo, I want to pay influencers
to promote my
affiliate link. I don't got a following.
I don't got a business.
All I got is some money,
access to capital, and an affiliate link
for somebody else's business.
Damn.
I then pay an influencer to promote it.
So I pay an influencer to promote it.
Let's say, I say,
I go out there and I get a B-Simon.
Be-Simon, can you promote this link?
Boom, boom, boom. She agrees. She do a ad.
I get paid off her file.
followers, they send it to me. I may pay B. Simone 5,000 off a credit card here. Boom, I got
$25,000. I may turn around, take her ad and go to Shade Room. Once she make the ad, it's
mine. I got it. I go to Shade Room, put the same, her ad, her likeness, put it on Shade
room with my link, and I'm still getting paid. As people sign up, I get paid every single
month, owning out of business. It's so much when it comes to, like, we say, we can't make
money, we can't struggle. Like, the goal is to, to,
to us to make $100,000 a year at this point
where inflation is going, if you don't make
at least, if you're not making
$5,000 plus a month,
you're in a struggle. You can't afford a house.
You can't afford a car. And then so many
people come to me, they'd be like, yo,
it ain't about lifestyle. Like, I could take,
look, this shit don't mean nothing.
I take it off.
When we go into
when we go into
Richard Millie,
fuck me. I'm a rich in Millie on Gilley.
You don't mean nothing.
Remember you said that thing.
No, bro, because our people is not, it's not all about, they got to make a million, right?
It's just so expensive.
I don't even know how I closed them.
She don't close like no rolly.
Right.
But in reality, bro, we're not looking like, yo, our people need a way out and they need options.
And they need people that can actually properly train them.
And that's how I said, listen, I can teach you five to seven different ways that you can start an entrepreneurship.
The same thing that you did to affiliate, like with affiliate marketing is the same thing.
you can do if you're a rapper or any product you got or if you sell cars whatever business
you're in we just need the mentorship and sometimes it's the guidance from those who got the
experience like i've been able to build my business up like i didn't did over 10 million
dollars in business 25 million in two years like i got different level of reach a different
level of access and now i wish somebody would have told me this years ago like if somebody would
give me this game years ago like these are things that you can do people don't
tell us that we can put money into
funds and automated
funds and automated traders that will give us
returns that you
couldn't think of, but it's a minimum
with $250,000.
And you realize, like, yo, they hold
information away from those who can't
afford it. Like, if you
not qualify, I'm not going to tell you.
But we got to hustle, we got the drive,
we got the ambition. If you gave us the opportunity,
we'll be able to better our lives,
but they don't do it. So my thing is, like,
I'm like, yo, I'm doing
know i want to do it live like i want to teach people live i want to i i tell people this man
give me 90 minutes to earn your trust oh 90 minutes on your trust and upgrade your bank account
mhm and get rich a million gilly that little fucker you know what i mean like let me put them off

And for free.
The education on me, the execution on you.
Like, I educate you.
You got to execute.
We go, we're going to take it to the next level.
My goal is to create 100 millionaires.
Oh, you could do that.
Yeah, I got, I already got 30 of them, right?
I didn't help create 30 millionaires, but my goal is.
31.
I ain't got no money.
Shit.
And so that, that's the goal.
And, like, and, like,
And like,
fuck as you're talking about.
Yeah.
He can fool nobody no more.
They don't get fuck.
How long you wear them?
I don't get fuck.
They don't give a fuck.
How long you wear them nasty?
I see the sweatpants with your knee prints in them and all that.
Everybody know you got money now.
I'm broke.

Fuck wrong with you.
No, you drove minivans.
Once you got that 63 bins, they said,

Because we know he cheap.
Nigg was eating out the Chinese store for three years street.
We know that bitch cheap.
That bitch got a 63.
He was tucking.

He going to be on that live.
That live.
You want a 63 in your future, nigger joined the live.
What's that number?
No, the one thing about this, I need y'all to text live.
The 404-737-47-44-737-37-37-37.
And just get this information.
It's like, I didn't seen it.
I haven't been up close to it.
I know most of the people.
And I've seen people from the beginning.
I've seen people come around with him from the beginning.
And I've seen them just skyrocket out of here
They're in better position
To take care of their families
And now they're teachers
They went from students
To be in teachers their self
I'm talking about
There's a number of brothers, man
That's just out here
But like, you know
You're going from Ashy to Classy
And they're in there's a brotherhood of them
And the sisterhood
You know, you just see so many people
Especially when you had your events here
They just be like
This is the thing is that
You know, I'm still, I'm connected
Like I want to be able to connect with people
Like I see
Like I respect the Jay Z's
I respect the puffs, but it's hard to connect with them once they reach a certain level.
I've been able to build my community.
That's why you see I do my events.
And my people who pay me, the people who've actually invested in recession proof, you see them with me live.
Like, I'm not just online.
Like, I'm not an online guru that's it online.
Like, I'm outside with the people.
I do live trainings.
Get online with me and really get to see and hear from me and be like, okay, let me see how he teach.
Let me see what the mindset is because a lot of times we don't got people that want to do a lot.
they want to sell us courses.
They don't want to come in and educate live.
So we're changing that now where it's not you sitting at home on a computer by yourself.
Like, let's get in here.
Let's mix it up.
Let's do it live.
And not only will it be me, I got special guests.
So it's a few.
So it's a celebrity special guest that will be on that you'll definitely probably
would like to learn from you hear more about what business.
But, you know, you got to text live to figure out.
Yeah, this dude that he's talking about he's extremely successful.
You never know who's going to be the fuck on then.
He made a bunch of money.
This dude is a big time dude.
That's all I'm going to say.
No, no, they, they know who the fuck him is.
I ain't talking about him.
I'm talking about the person he's bringing on here.
Him only fuck with big-time niggas.
I mean, he never went to McDonald's order to small fry in his life.
Yeah, I mean, he only fuck with the big, the supersized, but not on duty, not the fuck on duty.
He only deal with the Giants in the game, man.
You know what I mean?
Only a nigga like him going to bring Magic Johnson out.
You know, Gilly out.
Floyd, me, whether.
Floyd, maybe you know what I can say you.
Meek Mills.
I know you hit him.
Yeah, I mean.
You get me equals there
I want to give my
Look 20
Most people don't realize
I'm gonna get y'all play
Can I get him?
Get your truess
Go to the truess bank
You can get set up first with
That's where you start with your
You go online
Are you walking too there?
You go online or go inside
Trueest
The truess bank right
With truess you can do
You can go get a credit card
You can get a 0% interest credit card
From Truis
But you also can go and get
A business line of credit from Truis
And a lot of people don't know
to go in and do it the same day at the same time
and get one inquiry. It's the same thing
like Bank of America. You can get two business credit
cards on one inquiry.
What happens is, it's true as the Bank of America
pulled from two different credit bureaus.
So now you got four
bank products with one inquiry
on both. That's an easy
100K strictly off of just
them two banks in the institution.
My goal is to tell you guys, like, yo, we can get
access to capital, but 100%, I've got
to put this disclaimer around.
Understanding, getting somebody else's money,
leveraging OPM can be a potential dangerous hazard.
You have to understand.
You have to learn how to use it responsibly.
You have to understand how to properly utilize your credit.
The ones knowing what doesn't report on your credit, knowing how long you have to pay it back.
Because the worst thing you want to do is get behind the gun when it comes to interest.
And now you're losing profit in your business.
So you have to learn how to leverage it responsibly.
And that's what I want to educate you when.
I can tell you how to get it all day.
But I don't want you going into debt.
Because the same way I approach these banks is the same way I approach.
business. It's a strategy to it
and you have to approach your business in a way that
you remain profitable. You don't want to go
and take the bank's money and invest it in a business
that you're not making money from. So I want to
make sure you've got the systems in place that you've got
actual resources, you've got tools
and information to execute
properly and realistically become
recession proof. Give me that number one
more time. That's what it's about, man. Right now, get this game from
him 500, aka Slump 500, you need to text
live to 404-7-37-37-37-47-37-37-67.
and takes a lot
and him 500
aka Slim 500
is going to give you
to every session
proof game
from so many different
departments.
Before you get out of that
nigga I'm holding
a light blue
Richard Millie

that's a million
a million dollars
worth your game
hey
the black
the system
ain't designed
to make a black
man rich
y'all
gotta understand
that y'all
let's go
Let's go
Just like that
Right
Let me ask you a question
You're saying that
When you got
Shout out to all
The up and coming
comedians
There's a couple guys
From Philly like
Funny Boy Quilt
Tis
215
Rich Dollars
Check them out
When you ever
Get a chance
But then you got
Other dudes
That's on this
level
Where they close
Now
And I want you to get them
Game
You got people
Like Desi Banks
Just hilarious
Haha Davis
You had them
type of people
DC Young Fly
The whole
My whole crew
there
how do you get it how this is the game on from you how do you get a show on Netflix
how do you get a show on Netflix a stand-up comedy joint do you everybody everybody
wants a show on Netflix but I would say why no no I'm just asking you because I'm saying
like it's in getting that right it's not it's not about getting it you can get on any
platform but what's your what's your reason right like what's your
What's the reason for it?
So with this younger generation of comedians,
you got to understand that the comedy special game and world
is not what it once was, right?
Everything changes.
There's obstacles and there's periods.
When you think about there was a time
where the HBO special was the biggest thing you can get, right?
And when you look at the comedians
that were fortunate and blessed enough
to get an HBO special back in the day,
it was the biggest thing ever for them.
The HBO specials then changed
and Comedy Central got into the face.
Comedy Central gave out half-hour specials.
specials and our specials.
If you got a half hour special, our special on Comedy Central, you'll be in a rotation
and you'll be seeing.
It propels some careers.
Okay, wow, the world of special seems like it's growing.
Now, Netflix came, and Netflix gave a different idea of what a comedy special should be.
And the comedians that did specials on that platform, in the beginning, it was a lot.
Some were seen, some weren't, but Netflix's identity was all based off of the foundation
of stand-up comedy in the beginning.
They were redefining the world
of state of comedy
And then they started to get
a whole bunch of other content
Right
But then they said
Fuck it
We're going to go out
We're going to get the biggest comedians
We're going to get them to do specials
And we're going to make the specials
Special again
Not that they weren't
They said we're going to make them
So they threw this money at them
And a bigger comedian
Said fuck it
We're going to do it
So they got Chappelle
Rock myself
Louis CK
Amy Schumer
Wanda Sykes
Jerry Seinfeld
Ellen DeGeneres
It's like the biggest names of comedy went there and they started doing them.
But now everybody else started getting special.
So now the world of comedy specials, it's there, but they're not as special.
They're not as special because everyone isn't in demand.
That's not a bad thing.
Like you work to get in demand.
You need to be seen to put asses in the seats.
But where do you go that has the best impact for you?
So for the younger generation of comics, that net fix pleasure that they may want,
it may not be the best decision for them because they're in a more they're in a much more valuable
position today because owning your material your IP is easier to do because of the
the freedom and how you control your art your content right like you're talking about like
when you go down just hilarious and dc young fly and uh ha ha davis like you're talking about
Desi Banks, you're talking about
people who embraced the world
of social media, built the following off of social
media, and did it by managing
and operating and controlling the content that they put
out. So now going to the stand-up
special space, they could mimic that.
Maybe they could shoot it themselves. Maybe they
could sell it, license it. There's a
different type of conversation. So
they don't have to go
the route that most win.
Their decisions now are a little different
because their opportunities that present themselves are different.
So I would say for them,
it's about understanding the business more for them
and I talk to them
I give them all these tidbits
I'm the guy that wants them to win
so you know when you
when you had that following that they developed
and they have the dollar
because they go out and they make their money as well
shooting it
completing it and going and packaging it
and licensing it or seeing if you can sell it
whatever it is for you that becomes
the road to victory it's not just about being on
Netflix just to be on Netflix
right now the business of the business is just as important as the talent so you have to make sure you
weigh those options properly and you know maybe your first special sets up the next one but
there's several different platforms that you can go to um that's why i'm always one to say no let's shoot
this shit ourselves yeah and because how many platforms out here is begging for content
no and they throwing money around oh he's a content so if you if you could pay for your own content
and take it to the places.
Retain your IP.
Your money is a lot different.
Because if you have an audience, right,
what you guys have here is so dope because you now develop the brand.
What started off is just a dope-ass podcast with a name in the back of it.
It's now become a brand.
So the brand, this is a brand.
A million dollars worth a game becomes a brand.
And you can elevate that brand however you choose, right?
And the brand has tentacles and it becomes tiered.
So now the podcast of you.
to it's here but if you think you guys
underneath ball stools bar stools started
off as a podcast or a radio show
with and then they got bigger and they kept
on putting other shows underneath it so now bar
stools the brand is a hub
that embeds the media of all
this stuff under here this is growing
into the same so when you
understand the business in the business that you're
creating you got a following
well now your
bargaining chips are different yes
everybody can't have the same conversation at the table
everybody wants to but it can't
Right?
So your conversation is different.
And my conversation that I can have is different because we come with different value.
So our leverage within the value is where we negotiate at a high level.
To the younger talent that has the following in social media, there's value because they have an audience.
So if they do things and they embed it and finish it and complete it and say, well, my audience shows that they'll show up to see this, I would much rather license it and own it.
Now you can get a licensing fee or you can say, I want to.
want to sell it.
Whatever it is, you're making a better decision for you and your brand.
But it's the understanding of how to do that.
And there's never been a more valuable time to do it in than now.
You know, I'm a full-fledged media business.
Yeah.
I'm into the business more than I'm into being a talent now.
Yeah.
I'm more about heartbeat than I am Kevin Hart.
Yeah.
And what I, and what I, it's funny you say that.
Because with us, we own 100% of all our stuff.
It's the best shit ever.
We own our IP.
We own everything you see me and I was we own.
All we do is license and deal.
What you say is good because we don't feel as though we should sell our stuff.
We got a catalog, whatever.
But I will say this.
Like, when you have another network.
How can people get on your network?
Well, laugh out loud was a network.
I embedded laugh out loud in heartbeat productions underneath heartbeat.
So I took both entities combined them.
And the reason why we combined them because I said, we want to act and operate as a studio.
And we want to show us the value of this machine.
So to scale the company means we're going to grow it and we're going to basically create the opportunities to develop scripted, unscripted TV, movies, audio, literature.
Standup. It all falls into one thing, right? Underneath his roadblock. But as a talent who's done it and got to this space, I can embrace the younger generation of talent with opportunities.
So in doing that, it's about making creative deals, giving the opportunity.
that are a little unconventional, right?
Like that's where my business is going to flourish
because I can make unconventional deals.
I can do things differently.
I can be a little outside the box
and not operate like your Universal's, Warners, et cetera.
And they're great partners of ours.
We do great business together.
But for me to get the talent and to package the talent
to come in and do the projects underneath the heartbeat umbrella,
well, I have to be just, I have to be creative in that aspect.
So for the younger generation,
doing specials we are doing um reality unscripted series we are doing um you know talk shows
radio shows we own our channel on series we're doing other podcasts underneath our umbrella we we're
a full ecosystem of media so you have to find an embrace talent and the best way to do that is to get
them to trust you you can't do that with upside down deals you can't do that um with ways where you're
trying to take advantage or get over right like you know being an open book company
and trying to make good decisions and good business on behalf of what you want your company
to be a representation of is the priority of me and mine.
So an amazing team of execs we have, and I can say that our partners that have re-invested.
They gave us $100 million.
We scaled, grew the company.
The valuation is somewhere around close to $700 million.
And we do believe that we'll grow in eventually be a billion-dollar company or billions, but we'll be a partner.
more importantly like this is a business that we're scaling for partnership
we want to be aligned so Netflix as an amazing partners they are to me
I want my company be a partner theirs as well
and the same with all my other partners right like the real partners help you grow
and shots out to Ted who's a good friend of mine man and and even my friends in
universal when I want to make the decision to to go and do things with Netflix
like your real partners want to see you win
And why you're saying that?
Shout out to Eric Gnardini and Dave Portnoy.
Oh, my people over there at Barstool.
Yeah.
Who from the Rip always believed the million dollars were for games.
Yes, they did.
And they believed in us when people, like we had the conversation.
People were like, oh, man, you're doing good.
Let's get together.
Let's talk.
They didn't talk.
They talked with the check.
Yeah, you want.
But they believed.
Your real alignment and growth comes from the people who already did it.
Yes.
That aren't afraid to help you do it too.
Right.
And that's the difference when you get behind that door.
Who did it over here that can show us how to do it properly?
Right.
That can help us grow and really figure this shit out
and act as like a real extension of opportunity.
Like, that's real partnership.
Absolutely.
And if I've brought you value in return,
the value that you bring back to me is helping this business grow.
And I can say all minds have done that at a very high level.
And I'm going to say this.
It's funny you say that because you say these people want to help you grow.
That's got boxing after this.
What's that of you?
Yeah.
Yeah, Shabazz got some boxing sneakers.
Shabazz what's that in you?
There's boxing sneaks.
Oh, nice.
They're Jim Jones.
They're boxing.
They're boxing joints.
They look like they boxing.
He's like he's barred.
He's going to Joe Fras's gym after us.
Okay.
All right.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I just ask the question.
Let's ask about the sneaks.
He didn't know the box of Jivinci's.
I'm sorry.
You too.
David Reed.
He got the David Reed classic.
I'm just saying.
David Reed's boxing them.
Not the warm punches.
Not the warm punches.
Not the warm punches.
Not car.
But listen, so it's funny you say that because one day I get a call from our partners
and they say, we got some people we want to introduce you to.
These are the people that gave us the finances we need when we was hot like y'all.
We want to introduce you.
Now, you know shit don't usually happen like that.
They introduce us to the plug, the money.
And that's why I really salute them and I say, you're right.
And I think as us, we need to understand the importance of partnership.
Yeah.
Like, you know, why not partner with some people
that already got the infrastructure?
Everybody feels as though.
I'm going to do it on my loan.
I'm going to be independent.
You need infrastructure.
That's the most important thing.
Wallo, you say a lot of stupid shit, a lot of times.
I know.
Because I listen to you.
Most of the time.
Like 90% of the stuff,
Wallow say it's stupid.
Extra stupid.
But what you just said is so unbelievably correct.
Like, when I shake your hand,
if you don't shake my hand back,
then your gesture isn't the same as mine, right?
Like, if I shake your hand and I look you and I,
and I give you a real handshake,
it's because I'm trying to give you a sign of respect,
trying to give you a sign of engagement, nice, call it what you want.
But it can't be one-sided.
You're supposed to do the same back to me.
That's the same in partnership.
That's the same relationship.
It's not a one-sided situation of value.
And that's where business takes a drop,
where you feel like it should just be about me.
Right.
Well, you feel like, yo, man, what you're all giving me or what is going on?
Like, man, they were supposed to do and they didn't do.
But it should be, okay, they're doing this with me.
And in return, I want to make sure that I do said thing for them.
Right.
So I want to see them win as well.
Absolutely.
When you guys have that mindset.
Both of us got to win.
We both have to win.
And by the way, if you both want that to happen, nine times out of 10, you will win.
Right.
That's been the biggest, that's been the biggest piece of success for me.
It's not, it's not the self.
idea of what I need
it's about what
we can do to turn
this over hand over the fist and also
I turn down the opportunities
for one-offs because if you just
want me for a little teeny piece
there's no commitment dear there's no like what
how do we grow what if that piece is no growth
it was amazing like I want the opportunity
to grow and see how you've grown
while partnering with me and I should be able to look at the same
right don't have me to Lee act in avatar
but I just got one-off no
what do you mean avatar too come out I thought
I heard y'all was doing four.
I heard you're doing four avatars.
Right.
So who's going to be the, who's going to be this guy?
In this way, right, right?
Don't, don't kill, don't kill, don't kill, don't kill me.
Don't kill, what was your name?
A little dirty, little dirty, don't kill a little dirty, don't kill a little dirty tar off.
That's the, that's the biggest, that's the biggest piece of business that a lot of people override, man.
And you saying a while, and that's even having this conversation on your platform, right?
It's, it's needed because.
The idea in the want and need for success,
it can't, it's so fucking polluted as to what it is and what it should be.
And it's a simple approach and streamlining it.
Success is what you want it to be,
but you cannot get there without the help of,
I don't give a fuck who you are.
Yeah.
I don't care who you are.
You're going to, at some point, you're going to need help.
You're going to need assistance.
You will get to a point of confusion where you do not know what to do or how to navigate.
You will need some information or someone's fucking help.
And I'm going to say this.
It's different types of partnership.
You have a financial institution could be your partner.
And they could be financing because they believe and you had a track record or your business look good.
Your financial statements, you know, activate them to look out for you.
So they have said, okay, you need this funding.
Here you go.
Then you've got the partnership of infrastructure like he said.
connection. When we partner up with bars through, one thing I could say, it would be times I'll be
like, Gil, I'll be back. Where you going? I'm going up to New York for three days. For what?
I'm just walking around the office and talk to everybody and get gained. And I would walk around
the office, finance department, editing department, sales department, and they just give it to me.
Oh, wow, this is how we do. This is how we get ad sales. This is the ad rep. This is how we
boom, boom. Oh, yeah, we edit like this. Oh, yeah, boom, boom. And finance, yeah, this is how
we do. Oh, okay. So you need all these to work. Because I'm learning the bin, and I'm taking time
because you got to take time on you want and you got to be willing to be dedicated to learn
in order to grow because it comes from you being a person gilly it's cool being gill.
I mean, while it was cool being wild.
But we're together with a game and that's more powerful than any of us by ourselves.
And that's what we understand.
This shit is about business and the business that we're building.
You know, we can laugh and joke people.
No, no.
We're on our business.
And understanding that you've got to learn this shit.
And more importantly, we're giving a.
bars do, you know what I mean, as they give
into us. Well, you're looking, and you're also going to look
for the information. Oh, yeah, I'm not playing. Right, like, nobody's
going to volunteer the information.
So you're looking for it. Like, when you say, yeah, I'm going up there
and I'm going out of conversations. What people don't understand,
the conversations are ready to be had.
I don't, Walo, you're, you're in the
cars, uh, you don't know if you're in the cars
as much. But if
if you guys ever go to car shows
or in LA, they have these old
old school drives and they finish
your parking lots, right? And
I love old school cars. I love building old
school cars, what you'll find is that there's a lot of older men
at lawn chairs and they sit in front of their car
and there's a book on a stand about the build
of their car. And they sit there
because they're hoping that somebody just asked them
what did you do? And when they say
when they tell you five hours, they get out, they chair
and they go to page one on the book and they can't wait
to tell somebody. The story of how they got the car
to get to this place of perfection
which you'll find is that
motherfucker's in a seat
of success or in a seat
of power in some sort
in the right environment
as they can't wait to go
they won't let you leave
oh no you're doing this wrong
they can't wait
I'm gonna get you with my people Susan
They cannot wait
Susan come here
yes the guy just met
I just met you need the office
Just met them
Yes
Tell them how to do
Listen I didn't have in offices
I'd have been in offices
where I asked one question
Revers with Kevin Lounge or somebody
and it's 11 o'clock in the morning
and I leave 4.30.
They give me the history
to give you so much information
that you wasn't even expecting
because you ask.
We got to stop being entitled and think
Oh, nobody wants to ask.
Nobody, no, no, this is what they think.
Oh, Kevin Hart-popping.
He posed to tell me this.
Yeah. Kev don't even know you exist.
Gilly don't even know you exist.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
I don't even know.
I don't know what you want to know that.
I don't know you haven't.
I know you're into that.
But when we come from in black America a lot of times in the hood is that you just
supposed to, I don't know that you want to do that, bro.
I thought you was just, uh, uh, uh, you was just rapping last week.
Entitlement.
Get in the podcast.
It's a, it's a high level of entitlement, man.
And it's, uh, you know, these are, these are culture problems.
These are things that we eventually have to shake.
But when you break it down, we're not talking in a, we're not talking in this like high level.
No, we're not.
We're not talking in.
a manner with some may not be
understanding. We have dumbed this
down to the lowest level
of understanding of just
conversations, questions, answers,
relationship, partnership, why,
where value is, isn't.
Like, we have simplified it
to the absolute lowest level
and that's the best way to engage
and it's not because people are dummies.
It's not why. It's because talking
regular is way cooler than talking
as if you're on
a higher.
All that bullshit.
It's the same thing.
It all boils down to the same thing.
It has the same means, the same definitions.
And the information in the world of just giving it,
that should just be highlighted so much more than what it is now.
Absolutely.
That's the shit.
And you know what?
It is like this.
Kev, you're running around and you're doing something.
I don't think we ever seen.
You're doing fucking arenas.
like every night
like the same way Gil used to do bars every night
you're doing arenas so it's like
he and you was doing the same bars
with Gil 30, 25 people in there
now you're how many people you put in there
a night?
Is this a shot? I don't want to
No you got to be a part of this shot
because you
how many people you put in?
We have a very good
fan base man we probably do about
13 and 15,000 people tonight
does that sound believe
so so what I'm saying is
and your infrastructure put this whole tour together.
Heartbeat did this.
Yeah.
And you put people in place,
and this is the importance of team,
together each each team more,
teamwork, make the dream work.
You fell back and said,
let me trust people enough
to put them in place
to be able to put this whole thing together.
And how did you go about that,
like hiring and putting the team together?
You look at companies.
and what you realize that every company has
whether successful or not they have a structure
it's hard for anything to work
if there is no structure
if there are no guidelines
if everybody's not meeting a certain requirement
if we're not showing up every day at a certain time
and that time is because that's the time
we're supposed to start work
if we don't leave work at a certain time
because it's the time their work is over
but you'll find is that everybody in the in between
they'll come and go as they please
and some won't give as much
some will do some won't um but hey man how do i get people not to compete and not to like want to
cut each other's heads off and like how do i make everybody believe and invest in the thing well
you do it by giving the thing value and allowing people to participate in a world of value in it
so it was about finding the right execs uh finding my CEO finding my president had a development
had a distribution, my CFO, my C-O-O, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
the world of branding, how do we brand, how do we market, how do we promote?
There's people that have these titles for a reason, and what you realize is that
a big piece to winning is picking winners.
Right.
Right, like you.
And hiring motherfuckers that knew what you don't know.
You can, we look at the athletes all day.
Athletes are winning championships.
LeBron James wins championships.
Steph Curry wins championships.
We can ignore those back offices.
Absolutely.
The goal team.
You got to look in those back office.
You got to look at those people that's at that table.
You got to look at the players that are allowed to be at that table.
And those decisions are filled with the opinion of people who have had an impact in winning in some way, shape, or form.
Absolutely.
When you look at football programs, basketball programs, basketball.
basketball programs, companies that scale and sell for billions of dollars, what you'll find
when you go look behind that fucking curtain, which I have now been in, the same people got their
hand in the winds.
And that's not an accident.
Right.
Because a lot of times, the person that's at heartbeat, he was 11 other places before he got
to him.
Absolutely.
He was at Disney.
Absolutely.
Then he was over HBO.
That's out of Brian smiling.
Then he was over there.
He was running Clare Channel.
Shot out to Ty Randolph.
Then he left dead.
He was doing this and he was, so.
Jeff Clanagan?
It's all about elevation.
Leighton Wittington.
Right.
And even with them.
Jeff Clanagan.
And even with them is about opportunity and elevation.
So it's like, okay, the opportunity is great over here.
Okay, now you got to pay me more than what they're paying me.
Okay, I'm over.
I'm in.
You want me to bring my greatness to your organization.
Then you got to pay me good.
Absolutely.
You got to pay me more.
more than what they're paying me and I got to believe in what you doing.
And those are the tough conversations too.
For me those are the tough conversations because everybody, it's always going to
boil down the money and there's always a want for more money.
And when you have those conversations when you're coming from or jumping ship
and you got people that are coming to be a part of this thing that you want to work so bad
the investment in is what is, you know, it's necessary.
Like nobody wants to give up money.
Nobody wants to continue to have to pay these salaries that are crazy.
But when you look at the ramen reason behind them, I worked here for said years and look at what I did.
If I go here and I'm leaving this, I need.
And people's demands are sometimes justified when you got the receipts.
When you got the receipts.
You can't, there is no argument.
So I invest in people more than I think I invest in myself at this point.
like my biggest investments are in other personnel yeah because you but your biggest your biggest
probably moneymaker when it's all said and done is going to be the shit that you own no no shit
but it comes it comes with the help of the visionaries of those that are underneath the umbrella
right like you and that's what you got to you got to lose the eye and understand that there
has to be a we like it can't be i i i i i absolutely it's the we effect of it so um what we're doing
is special. I think that we are in a very, we're in a very amazing position right now
because, you know, the opportunity at Heartbeat, Spring Hill, Hello Sunshine, we all
embarked on was one that confused the business a little bit. It's like, well, how did they go
about why? That's major. Yeah, like, how? We were the only thing. Spring Hill, Hello Sunshine. That's
Reese Whittlespin. That's LeBron and him. And Kevin, what? Yeah. They don't think people understand
what that is.
And I believe it shouts out to Westbrook.
That's Will's company.
I believe.
That's like a four-year dragon.
That's crazy.
There are no others that have done or that are doing.
So the positioning and getting yourself into a space to act like a studio,
use real money to be able to develop.
It was one that was frowned upon for a minute.
So you're in a unique position of few to do some amazing stuff that hasn't been done as groundbreaking to
where you can make a decision to eventually have this name and a single thing.
sky if you choose that or are you scaling to do what when how and grow and partner and
there's so much that can happen at that point people these big they die in the partner with
y'all and just be your partners we're in a very good place you fucking rice whiffitherschooling
kevin hard lebron james very good place man dude reese is doing extremely well i know spring hill
is doing great things shouts out the brine man you know like it's it's we
I told you, I come from a place of I want to see other people win.
I want to see it done right.
I don't believe that there's shown to be one.
I don't come from that school of there's one great and that's it.
And there's enough room for us all.
Absolutely.
Everybody can win.
Absolutely.
Everybody can win it done right.
Listen, man, we appreciate having you, man.
Absolutely, man.
I appreciate coming on.
You gave a billion dollars worth of a game today.
A whole bunch of it, man.
Yeah, I mean, we know you got a, you know your show.
Well, before I go, I want to.
I want to say, I'll call right back.
All right.
Before I go, I'll say two things.
One, the audiobook, it's been out for a while now,
but the monsters of how to tame them,
I would say give it a listen.
Like you should, nothing else, just listen to it.
When I tell you, it's nothing more than an example of what we talked about today.
It's information.
Information.
It's information, man.
You need the information.
The battle that we have with ourselves, how we question ourselves,
how we're constantly in our brain
going up against us
when I say the monsters
I'm talking about the different monsters that we have
that literally we have to face
on a day to day basis from the
over control guy to the
I'll do it myself to the
I know it all to the
I don't need no man
I'm questioning monsters why are you playing around yes
questioning yourself and these are all things
that we deal with in this audio book
all I'm doing is putting it on the table
of how I too have been through
and have dealt with
but how I've overcome
Give it a listen
