About the new to new condom
Brandy God coming out

Really the motherfuckers don't work
Call raw
Condoms
It's just the ring
Called raw condoms
You know what's crazy
What I find crazy is that
First of all salute to you
Brother they try to put you out the game
And you bounce
And you bounce back
Like Spalding in a playoff
They try to put me out a few times
Yeah
And like how do it feel like
You know because a lot of times
You know we talk about ownership
We talk about license and deal
We talk about a lot of shit
And I don't think a lot of people don't understand
What ownership, license and deals
Authorship mean
Because a lot of people like
A lot of us we come from the ghetto
We just want to be in a game
We don't care how we're in there
Yeah they'll sign anything
They'll give up their intellectual properties
Just based off it because they want the opportunity
That's what we've always done
We just wanted to be able to show people what we can do and we'll figure out the business later.
But now the mindset of this generation and the young people is like, no, let's get the business tight and then we're going to bring our talent with it.
So, I mean, I was probably one of the young forefathers at that game early on before was so accessible.
Now everybody knows how to do it, but I had to, you know, learn it from my heels.
You know what I mean?
Like based off of I just started paying for stuff when I got a little money early on.
And then my lawyers explained to me like, oh, well, you own that.
You shot that.
So things like whaling out.
Like now that's my model now.
Like I don't wait for the networks to shoot anything.
I shoot it myself.
Absolutely.
And then I license it.
And so therefore I always retain, you know, ownership of the intellectual property,
which, you know, you always hear content, it's king, and you guys know that.
But when you own it and it's of value, when you got an audience and they want it,
that's when it's time to kick up.

I just want to salute you
running on some real shit
and kids got to pay attention to this.
Our coach, you got to pay attention to this.
Real in the black community is going to jail,
doing some street shit,
being everything that you're really not
in order to be accepted.
You ain't do nothing.
of that shit and you still came through and you won and just how was you growing up in the
industry and just embracing your individualism yeah it's interesting because you know we all come
from the mud so i got the opportunity like it was a lot of my my people around me that were doing
all that yeah you know and it was very accessible for yeah you know uh and i squared up as fast as
as the opportunity came so and all all the homies from the hill was like do that
Like, I had no problem at, you know, fresh out of high school after we was doing a lot of
dumb, reckless stuff in the hood when I was like, oh, I could take this entertainment thing
seriously.
And so when Nickelodeon came out, I was like, I want to be the corniest motherfucker I can because
it's keeping me alive.
It's allowing me to put my mother in a better situation.
So I had no problem.
I was so comfortable in myself.
I was never trying to be something that I wasn't because I knew I could have been that.
Like, it wasn't, you know, like from my, my staff.
Step daddy being one of the biggest D-boys in the city to my dad being, you know, from it and changing his life, you know, like once he got out, you know, he kind of changed his life, moved out the hood and start, you know, being a minister.
So I, it was easy for me to do that, like my dream to literally square up and become corny.
That was the thing that wasn't accessible.
You know what I mean?
I could have been a knucklehead and gang banging and, you know, continue and just try to sell drugs and all that stuff.
like that that was so accessible to us
the thing that wasn't accessible was
being on TV he was making music
and you know at the time even my
pops told me it was like you know because you know
I had the typical Boys in the Hood story where
moms was like you know you start
you start trying to be in the gang life
and you know you know mid-90s where
we from like everything from minutes to
society to boys in the hood that's what we looked
up to so
my mom literally was like boys in the hood
saw them and it's like yo you got to go move
to North Carolina with your pops
And that literally put me on the right path
where, you know, Pops was doing this type of stuff
in the early 90s, like setting up cameras.
He was trying to do his little televangelist thing.
And he told me, he was like, look, every kid in the projects
want to be a rapper.
We know you could do that.
We know you could talk all that talk.
He's like, but you're funny, man.
Like, do something different.
You do impressions.
He's like, I want you to do that for me on my show.
And when I go speak and all his evangelical work,
I would go up and do that.
And that really just shipped me to say,
think outside the box where everybody else
want to be a rapper you could be funny you could be a
comedian so I was like the youngest comedian in the early
90s on stage with everybody
everybody from you know I opened up from
you know I'd be at the improv with
Chappelle and Chris Rock and you know
and they would be looking out for me because I was just like a young cat
see when you come from the ghetto it's easy to make the dumb
decision yeah because you see so many niggas doing it
yeah yeah man fuck that I need to hustle I need to do this man
all them niggas said this I'm going through there
do this. It was right there for me though.
Like literally at eight years old, I would watch my step pops
bag up, fiends coming. Like I was
like I was there. Like I was the little
kid that had the Turkish
ropes and the
the gazelles, singing shotgun, and
the Cadillac on Dayton's. Like that
was the life for me. Everything that came
out was fresh. It was new my step pops. So you had it
on smash. So
I, that's what I, I thought that
was my journey. That was my destiny.
I was like, yo, I'm gonna
get out. I'm gonna continue to get out
high school open up a barbershop
you know get some work
you know let that be the front you know what I mean
I was cut niggas hair
in school $5 a pop also
Oh you was a barber?
Yeah yeah so it was that
How many niggas you fucked up Nick?
Everybody so like
You fucked a lot of niggas hair
Yeah the way I learned my grandmother was
A foster mom
You was working on the false
So I learned how to cut
Cutting all the foster kids here
And everybody started coming to like $5 a cut
I got nice with the fade
and all of that.
Ficked a lot of kids.
You can sell a little nickel bag.
They're fresh with $10.
They all.
So we did that for a minute.
And then, you know, that was the trajectory, that or the military.
You know what I mean?
Because this music shit and his rapids, that was just a dream.
You know what I mean?
We all did it.
But, you know, luckily, like I said,
with the right opportunities and that stuff came along,
man, I was opening up for, you know,
literally I was at the comedy store in Hollywood.
I was driving, you know, two hours to get there.
And, you know, I'd be, it's Jamie Fox, Chris Tucker, Eddie Griffin.
And they all looked out for me.
It was like, who is this little nigga?
And I would just get up there in rec stages at like 15, 16 years old.
And I was like, that's what I'm going to do in my life.
I literally have to, I rock a stage and have to drive all the way back to Diego.
Go to school.
To go to school.
You know, they were grown-ass men.
And nobody believed me.
Like, you wasn't up there with no Jamie Fox.
He wasn't up there with Chris Tucker.
I was like, I was back to regular life until I made that decision.
Like a couple of the homies got killed.
and it got really dangerous for us in our city
and I told my mom like I was like yo
if I stay here any longer I ain't gonna make it
and she she was like well if you finish high school first
you can go do your thing and I finished high school early
got out and the rest of history
before we go any further I just want to send a big apology out there
to all the foster kids who Nick fucked your head
fucked their head all we up to the third power
we can get you that signature they knew Nick did a ball
Your shit was taken back over here.
He's like, well, you can walk the dick.
I always experimented like a mug on it.
But, you know, it was love, though, because it was out of love.
You know what?
They had nobody else.
He fucked.
They tops up.
I was fucking right.
But I'm going to say this, though.
You know, in the streets, you know, we're a shooter, brother.
But on me and I was a perfect game, we salute a brother.
When I was in jail and I was watching Wiling Out, right?
The first hit when I was in prison.
He was wilding out.
Get the fuck out of here.
I'm watching Whaling out, right?
Yeah.
The first thing that came to my mind, I said, yo, man.
I told one of my homies,
I said, yo man,
that boy was some Keenan shit, man.
First thing I thought was
a living colors.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it wasn't just that
I love the fact that
even though you was on another level,
your arm was so strong and long
you always were poor people out of the hood
and you changed a lot of people fucking lives.
Shout out the,
shout out the D.C. Young Fly, right?
Because I seen him do some honorable shit
during the process time you was going through your shit.
Shout out to all my brothers,
85 South.
Them all my brothers are real good brothers.
But I've seen you put
so many people on and changed their life
and created, they was able to create platforms,
they was able to go to tour,
they was able to get money,
they was ever to change their family situation.
You got the brother right here from the...
W. Flame.
Listen, the flame could be in San Quentin right now.
Like in real time.
Flame looked like he just came home from St. Quentin.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm saying, he wouldn't have the opportunity
in the platform to be able to do what he do
if it wasn't for brothers like you to see
because you always went to the hood to get the talent.
Yeah, facts.
You found motherfuckers that was gyms and like,
even with him,
It's, it's homies that's going to be in penitentiary that's talking about him.
His homies is on the set right now that might not make it the day.
That's like, he going to be.
And he's next too, man.
He's next.
Flame, I mean, he doesn't been on tour all over.
He's on a new show I created for B, T, and VH1 called Future Superstar.
We took him all over.
He'd been he on, while and out.
Like, one, he was already serious and certified in the streets out in Long Beach,
like one of the hottest out of Long Beach since Snoop Dog.
But really, like, just when I met him, like, just what you said,
just a genuine brother who's trying to help
his community. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I was
like, I got to support that. And the same thing
with like D.C. And solid,
recognized solid. Yes. At the end of the day.
Like, it's a spirit that talks to another spirit.
Like, this is a real individual
and always going to have your back
and you always going to have their back and you can grow together.
Even if you just met, like,
you know when you meet a real one. Or even
if it's somebody that's just been on your team
for a long time. So I really,
I look at a man's character
before I look at their talent. And because,
we can shape and elevate your talent character or something that you just stuck with either
you got it you don't got i say you know everybody want to be solid but ain't nobody it's it's
it's hard you know what i mean like like just everybody want to pretend like they sound right but to actually
when when when the the rubber hit the road it ain't really it ain't really easy if it ain't in you
you know we see that right now with all these cases that's going yeah it's facts this is real but but but
If ain't no bitch in, you won't no bitch come out.
Oh, hey, now that's a motherfucker million-old.
That's a million-old.
And I'm telling you right here, I'm stealing that one.
Ain't no bitch in you.
It's crazy.
That's real, though, man.
So let's know you see me on the ground with these eyes.
That's real.
That's real.
But the thing about flame is so important is that, like, there's so many motherfuckers out there that's from California is a serious place.
A lot of people think it's a tourist attack.
that shit is not sweet
and you know just I know
there's so many people to see him
from over there like damn look at him
and he doesn't know what he was doing
before this shit yeah yeah so it's like
that's just a blessing and it's an inspiration for people
to know it ain't never too late to switch your game
up and lift your name up like
and now look at him we've got opportunities
and he'll be able to put somebody on as time come
and that's really what I'm building with flame
it's like in the same way I've seen people do it
because I mean you know they say whatever they want to say
about mom used that shit is funny to me
but like I'm trying to empower people to be CEOs like I'm trying to say you're a dope rapper
but let's put your crew on you got the Cinco boys let's like you need you the CEO of that
movie like I mean some of the greatest have done it like we watch 50 cent coming to game
we watch Jay Z coming to game and do we watch you know even Wayne we watch people come in
and set up and and when you can follow those models because someone like flame is already certified
and respected in his community like you said California I want to play with but he he get along with it
It's rare.
You go to, like, I mean, a niggas so, you know, massive.
Like, it's kind of hard to, you know.
Yeah, nigga do look like he had Choga Callie.
Yeah, a nigga was living wait until every yard for no reason.
I'm going back to the yard.
Yeah, but the young boy still is still young.
But he gets that respect.
So I was like, man, that's that level of power, I think I've said this before.
It's like, fuck the talent.
When you can motivate people, that's what Malcolm X was on.
You know what you're doing right here?
Like, you literally, like, they scared of y'all because of the level of power.
that you have because you can say one thing and niggas move like it's like in malcolm mrs
it's like no one black man should have all that power yeah that's not i mean like so when you
when you certified like that and people not only move on your vibration based off of your music but also
when you're a leader like that's all uh you got your business right yeah and when you can pass that
on that's where it's like once we get that together when we can realize that all of these captains
and all of these you know oh gs and even these young gs when you when you control your
hood and they pay attention to you
that's leadership
that's like people are born leaders
you know what I mean that's that
pop energy that's that's that type of stuff
where you say yo that person knows how to move
people and that's what I'll be telling
Flan's like you you got that type of energy where people
listen to you whether it's because of your size
whether it's because of your music people are paying
attention because what you've been through
you know what you're a perfect example
people are like damn this thing is sir 20 plus
like I all right we got
he got he got something to say
Like somebody like yourself that
Conquered the game on your way
You know what I mean
And I put him in this game
I had him in his first contract
I still own his publishing
To 30 years over
I own his publishing to life after day
I used to put him in the tub
Watch him the fuck up
Hold up
Did I take you hold
Can I ask you this

Give it out all types of game
Because I never do
Malcolm X said that

That's why
Nah

But now
But now
As we go into
You build a legacy
Like the whole thing
With you is
You like
Like, Sean, you're going to go in there

I ain't got nothing.
Better think, bring the doctor in here.
Tell her real quick.
I know this shit going to go, that actually was a little bit of my game
because having, having lupus,
I got to get blood work.
Like sometimes it was like every week
But now by the now it's like every three weeks
And they test everything
So I got my paperwork on death
At all the time
So I'm like

He run around with the paperwork
And a doctor test it
At all times

I think I'm done though
I think I think 12 is a solid number
It's the number of the constellations
the disciples the months i think i was thinking old right you know as you get older like my grandmom
and shit you call all the kids the wrong name raleigh i mean god damn it was two i got 12 i got to
remember we got that powerful beautiful oh hey look that's shit now all that shit yeah but i got
five beautiful girls and seven boys so damn that's the motherfucker yeah i'm girls boys these
that's what i man i'm so scared that's how you know that's how you know you're a good guy in life
because anytime a guy have a bunch of kids and it's all girls you know he's a
fucked up individual.
Yeah, he ain't shit.
That's the player's curse, right?
He got chick nuts.
That's crazy.
That's some crazy shit.
No, shout out to everybody who was a
girl dad because that shit is not easy, man.
Yeah, but I'm saying you had one or two.
All right, that's cool.
You got six girls, buddy.
Yeah, that shit is, man.
Ah, you got chick nuts.
Six girls, no boys.
That's what I'll go, I'll sit down.
I'll go sit down and do 25 for my daughters.
I would at this point, just because I always say,
like, I'll be saying that
I was like, man, I hope all my daughters are lesbians
just because
I say, listen, Wado, like,
I say that, no,
I believe want to love.
But I'm just talking about just pure disputes.
Like, if there's a woman
on woman disputed, my daughter got beef
with her girlfriend, you better
knuckle up.
If a man puts his hands on my daughter,
I've got to go sit down.
And I got five,
chances like I don't I tell my boys like yo if your sister ever says somebody harassed her
touched her you handle that because if it get to me daddy going to sit down like I've done a lot
of amazing things about it's time take all this shit off because I want to do whatever you did
to my daughter I want to do to you times team and that's just how we feel about our daughters
like and I got five of them and I'm like I'm an ain't shit-ass nigga but I'll never put my hands
on somebody. So hopefully
I'm giving him in protecting my daughters
and giving them as much game as I can
to prepare them for the world, but you can't never prepare
them for some knucklehead little nigger
that just want to get Rai-Rah and put their hands on
But I think an ain't shit-ass nigger
is a nigga who just wants a vagina
and he don't want to bring nothing to the table. You bring a lot to the
table. I mean, I appreciate it. And there's a lot
of girls out here that's fucking with ain't shit-ass
niggas. All he getting is D&P, dick and props.
Yeah, they ain't getting nothing else.
Nigger lay them down, spray them down, but they
don't stay around.
Nah,
talk that time.
They say, what do you bring it to the table?
I say, what you bring it to the table?
I said, bitch, another table?
Damn.
That's real.
But yeah, we all go eat.
That's real.
What you bring it?
Multiple tables in this.
What you bring it to the table?
I want the whole cook out.
All these tables.
They're my tables.
Like, how old was you when you, when that bank account got real serious and you was
like, I'm that nigger?
I still don't feel that way.
I make a lot, a lot of money.
But it's just like when you're running a business,
We just talk about this
It takes money to make money
Yes it do
And especially as I'm putting on
I'm afraid of the
The MC Hammer
Energy
Yeah that 30 million
He was on and even like
Because 30 million today
Ain't really
That 30 million back then
It was like 300 million
You know what I mean
And he was just trying to put on
For his community
He put on an amazing show
And then looked up
And it was gone
So no matter how much I generate
Like even talk about like
you know, hundreds of millions of stuff.
I want to be able to sit on that
and never have to work again if
all of these cameras cut off. If another
pandemic come, if another
cancellation come. Right now,
we're generating crazy bread.
So I still, but I don't feel like
I've made it. Like, even regardless
if it's the movies,
the TV shows, I'm still
you know, like 1003,000
say, you only funky is your last cut.
Borgers on the past, your ass to be a has what?
It's just like, we're trying to
get to that next bag. So as
I'm creating all of these TV shows, as I'm
building all these platforms, I'm thinking
what's that sustainable income
that my kids, kids, kids is going to
that generational wealth. And that's what,
it's a few of us that have figured it out. But other
like, as much as we want to say
we're a boss, you're not really
a boss until you don't have
to work no. Right.
So.
My fucker told me you ain't got no money if you know how much money
you got. Oh, I'm like
that one. I was like, damn. You're right.
I know exactly how much money is in the bank. I'm fucked.
Yeah, because it's about what you're generating because, you know, we can have a $100 million year and then we have a $50 million year and then we get out another, yeah, like it's, and it all depends.
They still some good years, don't say that like that.
It's a lot of money moving around and like your point.
I'm trying to get it to everybody, you know what I mean?
And I'm comfortable, you know what I mean?
If I wanted to stop and go on an island and take care of me and my kids, I could.
Yeah, I just don't.
I feel like there's so much more to get,
and I feel like I'm just getting to it.
So when people ask me, like,
how you know when you made it?
How much money?
What was that?
I don't, it ain't happen yet,
especially because when you see these young boys out here,
like, I'm inspired.
I'm getting $10 million dollars publishing and $50 million.
I'm like, oh, it's like that.
Crazy publishing.
Like, oh, okay, these is getting real bags.
Like, let me get back in the game and figure it out
and sign this artist and produce this tracking.
You know what I mean?
Like, especially when you have the ability to do multiple things.
I don't feel like I've, I've,
hit that mark yet because
I did come up with
cats like Kanye. I did come
up looking up to Jay and puffing,
watching their money moves.
So I'm like, all right, well,
until I could sit back like that.
And because I think I'm a, like one thing,
I probably could have
taken advantage, I will say,
of the business aspect of what the music
industry and even the film and television industry,
but I want to give people
opportunities. So I never sign people
to, I never signed them in general. I would
just help them out.
So I don't get nothing.
I just want to see Katz win.
So if I had that more CEO mentality,
shots out to Frisco Chuck right there,
who is, who runs the music department.
He's like, man, you got to start signing these people.
Which one?
Chuck right there.
Like the Incredible Gang Capo right there.
The Shug Night of Incredible Game.
Yeah, he'd be on his shit.
I do just talk about my man, no smile.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Now, that's the thing.
That's the thing.
That's the guy that don't get fuck with it.
He doesn't chuckle at all.
My nigga not playing.
He wanted to smile really.
a nigga did like this.
Well, see, matter of fact, that's what we should put.
William Waller going to be on Wild and out.
We were trying to figure out what games we should play with.
They all play a game called On the Gang,
where the goal is to make tough niggas laugh.
You can't.
That nigga not lie.
I see it really, he said,
yeah.
Yo, so,
yeah, he do be laughing the most, though.
Well, we're going to play on the game.
We got the whole gang in here.
But, nah, I say all of that to say, though.
You're some real shit
When you, you know, when you
When you surround yourself with cats
Especially talented people
I feel like you want to allow them
You set them up to win
So I don't want nobody's publishing
I don't want, I don't want
The only thing I really want back
Is the money I invested
See Chuck to him by heat dude
Like I don't want that
Signed that people where
Give me your life
I don't want to do Gilly like you did him man
I don't work him out
I still got the publishing
Still got the fucking publishing
They go get me duck backwoods and motherfucked
sodas and orange juice.
But that's why we started future superstars
so we can teach, not only we can show everybody
how the industry works, but we can give young people
from, we went from hood to hood, giving out,
you know, thousands of dollars to young up and coming.
Shout out for y'all coming to Philly.
Y'all came to Philly show Philly some love.
Yeah.
That was major, you know what I mean?
And y'all, y'all got, man, everybody knows.
Philly got talent.
Yeah.
We just told up with Ishikibibibibbles.
Yeah.
Iska Bibbles.
They can walk over, Nick, over there.
I'm like, Nick who.
Like Nick Kenner, I'm like, what?
The fuck is he doing next door?
Just chilling.
Yeah, give me a chicken cheese.
Yeah, he just chill.
With the works.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's a beauty, like where you can go to any hood and get love.
But bring love and resources.
Yeah, yeah.
That's major to be able to do that for people.
Because, you know, people, like you said, there's so many talented people.
I don't care if you go to Compton, you go to Harlem, you go to Oakland, you go Miami.
It's people, but they don't have the resources.
And people just don't know.
No matter how much.
much we think because now we got the phone all this information out there people still don't get it
yeah they still just don't know until you see it and fill it so for y'all to come into the
community that's major yeah now well i mean that's why y'all here man y'all such fixtures i even got
to ask y'all question i mean one building this empire that y'all built but the level like
y'all i don't know if you know it enough y'all changing lives like people it's kids that ain't
really thinking about being d boys or rappers on one day they're listening to you telling them it ain't
about the life, but then they're watching y'all win
daily and like, I want to do
that. I want to be able to speak
positively into my hood
and I'm feeling it. Like even
as I talk to the young people, we go to schools and talk all the time, I'm
feeling people say, I want to be like Gillian
Wallow. Like, did y'all ever
think that, especially you, man?
I mean, sitting down like, was this the plan
to be able to build something like this? I mean, my
plan was just, I just always work.
You know what I mean? I just always.
But did you step back and be like, look what we built
Like, we're inspiring young people
I really don't look at it like that
Because I look at
The way my bank account is right now
It's been supposed to be like that
So I look like I'm behind a eight ball
So I feel like, I feel like, okay
Y'all finally let me in the door
Watch me run these nickers down
Yeah, nah, that's exactly how I feel
So when we talk about like, oh, you guys
Like, I was like, nah, they find,
I'm gonna keep cooking while the pot is hot,
they let me in here
I feel like they're gonna kick me out again
And I know, I know, you know,
Like, people see us, they see us all the time.
First of all, when I was in jail, 2012,
Gilly had been talking about my million dollar game since then.
Wow.
It was just him on Instagram saying,
I'm going to be your main house.
All the young niggas out there don't chase bitches,
chase money because when you got money,
bitches chase you.
Right.
So it was like, it was like.
I was doing that shit back when it was only 15 seconds on Instagram.
Right, right, right.
Then it went up to a minute.
And then one day I said, I'm going to give y'all a chance to ask me any questions
y'all want, I'm going to give y'all some game on it.
When I did that, that shit went retardant.
That shit wasn't stupid.
but I'm talking about out of this.
When you got something special.
So then...
That God energy.
Five years later,
while he'll come home.
He wasn't even thinking about doing it.
And then I sent him up.
It was early in the morning.
I'd be...
Because I'm one of the...
Me and him got two different parts to play.
That's what makes us good.
Yeah.
I'm not going to do what he do.
He ain't going to do what I do.
If I'm out of pocket, he's going to check me.
If he out of pocket, I'm going to check him.
And there's no nuts.
We ain't got to worry about money.
We got that.
Your family, too.
We both own this shit, 50-50.
Everything is business with us.
but we know our lanes.
So it's like, I'm gonna be the one to do all the research,
do all that shit, because, listen, this is what it is.
I called him one morning, because Spotify gave out like $400 million to podcasts.
$421 million.
In the first quarter of 2019, I called him early in the morning.
So that's from January to April, they gave out $200 million.
I said, get the $400 million.
I said, get up, because read this.
He read it later on that afternoon when I had the LLC.
I had the trademark, I had the logo done, and I said, we're running this shit.
we came out
April 17th
April 17th
Yeah, April 17th
2019
We went number two
In comedy
And number four
In all categories
In Apple
In ours
Wow
I said listen
I said we're gonna go
Get these advertisers
I went and got the advertisers
All independent
Six months later
You went and got the advertisers
Yeah
The advertising
This is the advertisers
And I think a lot of dudes
On podcasts
Oh they got a car dealership
Come on
Friend of our home
Come on
I went and deal with that
Fuck the conventional
joints I had a funeral
I'll think y'all understand the power in that
because the way the podcast system
is built it's these ad sales team
that empower, that's how everybody
able to get this. When you got
the relationships with it, because I was like
you're your own sales team. Because I was like, y'all going
off of CPMs and the money y'all trying to give up
the way I'm going to put this deck, this deck
is like, listen, Nick, we're going
to promote while and out in May and I was River game
for a minute. Under each caption
on the post, because we was one of the first
dudes traveling podcasts, then we was one of the first
that was putting clips up
religiously
where we had clipped the podcast up
and put 15 clips in a week of that
and under each joint
I'm telling you on his deck
under each clip that we put
up on his page and my page
and we're going to put
presented to you by Nick Cannon
Wiling out
so they like that
because that's so many
that's his eyeballs
so we're saying it
your logo coming up
so we was like that
so I'm like we're going to go get that
I just kept coming to him
because I got this band
I got 20,000 from the car dealership
I got this
like we was killing them
like independently
So when we went to bars, too, we was like,
oh, no, this is how much money we make on paper already.
They see, they're like, oh, shit.
So they're like, so what's y'all going to do?
Wow, that you do.
They said, you do. You get the lion's share when you had a little lion at the table.
And like, now we was ever to, we was ever to be in a position where as though,
we own everything we the fuck do.
We wasn't playing no games because we've seen people in the space already.
And we like, these people ain't, they don't own that.
We did the research.
Got to talk to some lawyers.
No, they don't own.
this. They don't own this. We made sure we
owned their thing to trade more. We own everything.
So it was like when it was time from Bittin War
was last year. We had an unbelievable Bidmore. Shout out to
Spotify. Shout out to Amazon. But
salute our partners, Barsu, because
they wasn't playing. And
things that went right for us. And even the
genius in choosing Barstool because they had
such a different demographic and you guys
were the only one. So y'all stuck out
over there. And one
thing about them is sad. A lot
of times with our companies, you're
visionary, but unlike you, a lot of times,
we don't invest in tomorrow.
We'd be just sweating right now.
Oh, you're the shit right now.
Oh, you went, these motherfuckers thinking about five years later.
Oh, no, your projection.
Y'all going to be here.
So we're going to cash y'all the fuck out.
Yeah.
Like, Dave Portino.
Especially when they know what they bring.
Dave and over there.
Dave said, wow.
Gil, I got a blank check.
What the fuck y'all want?
We got 30, 40 men, all these shit on the table.
He said, fuck all that.
What y'all want?
What y'all want?
Because.
And to keep your ownership.
I know the value.
Oh, yeah, always license deal.
I know y'all value in.
We got a bunch, we got an unbelievable partnership
with advertisers all around the world
because Dave is a genius motherfucker
I said we had a couple times.
You already know.
We went and ate pizza a few times.
Yeah, yeah.
For no reason.
He jeans, but let me tell something
and I'm going to say this to the podcasters out there.
Nothing, and he could tell you this.
Don't nothing move out there.
I don't give a fuck if you got content.
This world revolve around ad sales.
Facts.
It revolve around marketing.
If you go to a basketball game,
it's going to be logos, the name of the arena.
It's a brand.
The floor,
brand, the seats for brand.
If you, Super Bowl,
brand, brand, brand, brand, brand, brand, brand.
College game, brand, brand, brand, brand.
This world is one big, one big commercial.
One big commercial.
The money coming,
they get money from ad revenue.
Right.
Company's going to come.
Oh, you've got to put this in.
Media spins.
Add something to this too.
And this is the difference between black people and white people right now.
You look at all the top white podcasts in the world.
Joe Rogan do ads.
Call her daddy do ads.
We start making fun of the things because you got ad.
Oh, you got ad?
That's the money.
That's the money.
Pat Maccafee got ads.
Crime stories got ads.
Crime junkies.
Crime junkies got it.
You look at the top podcast in the world.
Then you look at the top.
Amazon is a big ad.
Right.
You look at the top black podcasts in the world.
That's not Amazon.
You only got a couple niggas doing ads.
And I still, that's the money.
I had niggas on our Instagrams joking on us because we do ads know because we get money.
We get money.
We understand the game.
Uh, uh,
excuse me.
Six niggas on the couch and no air reads us.
Y'all niggas playing games.
