No Jumper coolest podcast in the world. We're back again, man, with a special guest. A very special guest. My Najat sister. Ow, Ivo, what's that? Wait, so the Igbo's are from which state? Well, my mother's from emo state. My dad's from Manabra state.

So it's so many different states. So now, okay, but there's one state, though, that's in Nigeria right now that's, like, worldwide that everybody, like, everybody's like, who's not from there now is claiming it. it's Southside Pocato. No, Port Hardcott. Okay, yeah. Now, listen, I'm not sure if those are like the ops, but they're taking over right now, bro. Like, listen, like, everybody in a mama in the U.S.,

the UK, every rap fan wants to be from Southside Port Hutt caught, right? Yeah. But it's pronounced Patakot. Yeah, well, no. What? What? What? Right like, right like, right like.

Right, like, wait, so like, it's pronounced what, though? Potaco, right? No. All right. So say Port Harcourt in your language or in your accent or dialogue. Potato. No? Potaco.

That's what I said. You didn't say it right. You said it like different. You said it kind of. Maybe it's just a little accent. Listen, when Brennan Boy was on sway, he says Southside Pococke. Southside, but Takot, Pohawkot, right? But I, but who is Tico, Texas, man?

So first of all, let's talk, you right? Let's talk about your grammar. Because you're really tapped in. Right? Like, you're one of those people who are like super tapped into everybody, right? Like, like, like, I think it's you, Bullock Kev is like one of those people who just know everybody, right? Right. You know, there's, you know, there's few people in like in this industry where like they're just connected or or like intertwine.

with a lot of other people. I agree. You met Adam like 14 years ago. Yeah. How? I jumped on his head. I had slept over his house after a party because I knew this other guy named Ned.

And Ned woke me up in the morning was like, can you jump on Adam's head for me? Like that's a joke. Like, will you go jump on his head? I had never met him. I didn't know him. I mean, he wasn't really like Adam 22 at that point. He was still just kind of Adam.

Well, hold on. 14 years ago? This is 2014. So not 14 years ago. Oh, you know, since this 2014. So like, 10 years ago. No jumper. Yeah, everything's on the rise.

But, you know, he wasn't an established. Wait. Well, why was you like an 18 year old kid, though, like raging? First of all. At, like, overnight party on drugs. I wasn't on drugs. Well, they were, right? I don't think so.

I didn't see them do any drugs. I was sure like BMX dudes in the, in the 2014 world. We weren't doing drugs at Adams house. I'll tell you that much. I don't know if they were on drugs, so we weren't doing drugs there. Oh, oh wait, so y'all was at, we were at a party. At Adam's house.

Yeah, we were at a party. We went in a party. We went all night long as one of those scene parties. In New York? In LA. And then Adam used to have a house off of Vermont and Beverly. So we went there afterwards and just crash. You see?

I ain't know that Adam has been in LA since 2014. Yeah, I think before that. I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh, that's insane. Oh wow. Yeah, so that I slept, I spent the night and then the next day, Ned was like, well you go jump on his head and i just said yes you know just young dumb and so then i went up to

his bedroom and then i jumped on top of his head and did he like get up and fuck you up so he got up very confused and he was all jokes about it oh okay he was cool with it it was all jokes i was like ah ned walked in we all laughed or whatever but yeah i feel like that's probably the only way you can handle it right because if him as a white dude with a baldhead and mad tattoos would have guy in up and whoop this black girl's ass for jumping on his head that's automatic hate crime right yeah it is for sure so wow it was a test and he passed it he passed it by not hey i'll be real i don't think there's too many men who would have that much of control right i mean it was just out of a sleep it was like it was like kind of a joke it's like a little prank so i feel like he just is

all in good fun like he loves a good prank you know were you bigger back then or still a skinny What? Were you like, like, like a tab to bigger back then? No, I mean, I was smaller, I think. I think or the same size. I think the same size. And that's why, right? Cause if a big, I mean, real, man, if a big jump on my head, bro, first, first out of

asleep, bro, we fight it. I'm sorry. I didn't even have time to think about his reaction. I just did it so fast. Like, he's like, oh, do it. And then I just went and did it. Like, I can be- Listen.

The weight limit for like, for like that prank is like 180 pounds, right? Okay. No, no, no, sorry. 160, right? Cause, yeah, right? So if you, you wouldn't mind if I hopped on your head, basically. Like, at 7 a.m. What are you right now?

About 130. That's, yeah, that's cool, right? Well, let's you venture into the 150, 155 range, but like, like, like, like, you can hurt yourself. I'll get brain damage. Exactly. You feel me? Yeah, yeah, no. Right?

That's no cat. Man, so then after words you've been entangled into the industry right? Yeah, and what the hell is adults only? It's a bar in off sunset in LA You know if you got to get out more yeah, we got to get you out more yeah, I'm gonna bring you out with the right we go we don't have you like look yeah you down No man I got a girl damn. Okay, well And listen so like like this podcast has already gotten me in severe trouble right so You know like being just just a being just a being here right so pretty much I was so I was on a pod okay you know some thing happened again I was not engaging and that got talked about on another podcast

okay her family seen that podcast and told her yeah right yeah he film is so so I'm walking on on eggshells right now oh wow right for me so no going out no holes okay you feel me okay okay hey listen okay right listen like I talk about what happened yes okay what happened what what happened on this pod did I do no I can't say it but okay okay you are known to bring attractive women around feel me right yeah like like like you know like two beautiful black queens came with you today yeah one chocolate fudge Ebony Queen goddess one light skin caramel waffle color goddess you feel me right mix it together we got ice cream

right yeah so you so you so you are known for bringing tempting people around so i will stay away from the devil's work and say god not today right oh damn but all right so you were in the la foe so then how did you um meet dave portnoy and then how did the kfc radio beef factor into you meeting those people wow it's it's a it's a crazy-ass story um big sean and ariana grande had broken up yes and um i was close with big shawna at this time and we actually even had like a conversation about it about their relationship so when they broke up instead of going to google i went to twitter to type in benshaana ariana grande yeah when i typed that in the first article comes up is

from a guy named kfc barstool okay and i click on it and it's basically like kind of like a racist article who kfc barstool kfc barstow is one of the founding people that's at barstow that's been there since the beginning okay he hasn't he doesn't have the same like nority that like k Big Cat and PFT and you know Dave does because he's kind of struggled to find his lane but he's one of the founding people and what about the article was racist so he she was like she needs to drop her C list rapper guy Big Sean and get with an A list or like Justin Bieber I feel like that has racist like racist undertones because it's like okay so you're supposed to she's supposed to drop her black guy and get with a white guy it just kind of you know maybe that wasn't really like well if he's saying Justin Bieber who's an A list rapper who's a A list rapper? Well, like, at the time, though, Big Sean was a rapist. Yeah, as well. That's what I'm saying. It was really weird.

Yeah, right. The black guy got the white guy. It's not racist, though, right? Like, it can be looked at us a little weird. It can be looked at us a little. Yeah. All right. So then you've seen that.

Yeah. And what did you do next? So then I, um, I have a DM of all of his, like, fan groups because I get them to meet him. And I'll get, like, they'll ask me like, can we, oh, we're here. Can we meet Sean? So I'll help, like, coordinate that. Like, I used to always do that. So they would do anything for me.

Okay. So I happened in their DM and I was like, find this guy's Twitter. Find who this guy is. So they found him and I tweeted at him. And I was like, oh, this article is frivolous. You should be fired. Like, where's your fucking editor? And he decides to retweet it.

So now we're doing a petty, bad conversation saying witty shit. You know, I'm calling him a baseball fan, which basically meant white people. And that was like my coin, my little term I coined at that time. What do you call? black people they were calling black people basketball fan because they got mad basketball people fried chicken eaters oh man hey no i mean the coolest style sports and athletic i mean the best musicians watermelon there's all right there's oh listen yeah watermelon consumer basketball people for fried chicken devours right all right right so yeah so yeah so yeah

I was doing that. I was calling them baseball fans. I was trolling. And then Dave hops into the beef because Dave and KFC had beef. So Dave tweets me from Italy and Italian and says, hello, my new friend. How can I help? Wait, how is Dave the founder of Barstall? Why do he and the KFC guy got beef when he's also one of the founders of Burstall? Because like, just because Dave is like, he'll put you on and put some money in your pocket, but that don't mean he necessarily like you. Oh, really? You know what I'm saying? There's so many different personalities of it. bar school you know so not everyone's gonna like each other but they've had the power to fire him right yeah but he doesn't want to fire so where the derby stem from do you know i don't know what it necessarily

stem from but i know that there's like animosity between the two i just know that they don't really they at that time didn't really like each other that much and they're still beefing out with they're cool you know i feel like they're cool they're cool he's still at the company you know he's still doing and david's trying to put him in position like they was trying to make him the president of the new york office so he's trying now when you was retweeting back at a man like what's one of the stinger you gave him like a tweet

that's like yo I you know I lit him up like I did them dirty I mean so like I have an Audi belly butt right and he tried to like talk shit about it you know white people like anything that's like not the normal just basic they have a problem with so you know my

like my belly is very common in Africa or common in other places but for them It's not so they were going crazy on it. And I was like, okay, but your, my belly button is actually bigger than your two inch dick. Okay. Now, that's personal. I mean, I don't know his dick, but, you know, that's personal. I don't know his dick side.

But I feel like you could have hit him with, like, some harder ones, though, right? Some hard like what? Right. Listen, because I feel like the small dick thing, you know, right? Like, that's like a normal type of good. This was 2016. Yeah, man. Small dick jokes were.

Yeah, right. It's 2016. Yeah, right. Listen, so how I like the Rollsman, so on me? Or 2015. My bad, 2015. Right, like, listen, like, I'm cerebral, right? Meaning, like, I'm going to your page.

I'm studying, feeling like, how your mom looked like, how your daughter looked like. I did that for the disc track. Any dead homies you got? I did that for the discreet. So how we even end up with the disc track is? Yeah, so Dave hit you up and said what? He said, can I help you? He said, hello, my new friend.

How can I help you? Okay. So then how that work? people were all tweeting after that and they're like, make a go fund me. Like we want you to do a rap against them and we'll pay for like all the studio acquirements and did it. So I went ahead and did it, you know, and then I made $1,000 off of it. And I got the beat.

Someone just sent me the beat like to my email. Supposed he, I'm not really sure, but that's what he claimed he was. And it was cap. I mean, the beat was really hard. You heard that hook. Yeah, of course, cool. That hook is hardest. So he sent me the beat.

I went in the studio. I did the song. came out with it Dave when I came out with the song Dave was popping Christile on Instagram to it there's a video of him I wonder if y'all can find that shit it's of him pop and crystal to my to my track so it was that's where it now yes now he actually released a district against you yeah he did yeah second round TKO or some shit yo who was the guy that was singing on your district or the girl or wherever was so it was part of the hook that was sent with me oh this hurt to you

yeah oh wow yeah they sent me the hook so I'm there could it could have been Rihanna's producer it was kind of a nice nice beat i'm not gonna lie what's not suspicious still man i'm still a little bit suspicious you feel me is that Rihanna's producer i don't know right i don't know who knows yeah all right yeah so right now is is like up in the air but hey you got a dis right okay bet so he responded back yes but came at dave more more than he was coming in me yes which he was yeah which i was kind of like he was here right so like even when he like um was speak on the situation he was sort of like take the opportunity to diss dave yeah opposed to really let's speak on you right exactly so maybe he blames day for instigated and

and like giving you shine in life yeah definitely definitely well it turned from a twitter fight to like a real real situation yeah but okay but then be rhodo so i wasn't there yeah so i don't know maybe like they were there but i wasn't there right so who do so who did the public say win the rap battle um if you're asking about the baseball fans what they say who did okay so for example right we have to no jumper universe right it was a barstool universe at that time who did the barstool universe say when the rap battle between you and kFC radio i i mean my song got like you know you just saw like 250 000 streams on sound cloud check it out numbers never live if y'all want to look that up on sound cloud for to hear the disc track but um i feel like there wasn't really a

because they weren't trying to give me my props. They didn't respect me yet. The community, the Barstow community. They didn't really respect me yet. So they're not gonna just, KFC was an established person. So they're not gonna be like, oh, she ripped you. She ripped you. A couple of them did, but they didn't really give me

the acknowledgement that I, because I came at his dog. I came at his wife, because he calls his wife, his roommate, right? So I was like, I should let my boyfriend, your fucking roommate spray white in her mouth, like she's drinking toothpaste. You know what I'm saying? Wait, whoa, hold up.

he calls his wife his roommate now that's vicious so yeah the the rap was that's why i wanted you to hear it the rap is vicious no wait the rap is vicious i heard it uh from from from from the from from the link link that like i sent you yeah right okay so for those who did not hear it can you spit the rap kFC fuck kevin clans see you a big fraud lying in your rap's uh cheating just like a rod i'm black man not black man but shoe two face i shall let my boy you friend your fucking roommate spray white in her mouth like you're drinking toothpaste kevin you're a snitch throw your fiat you're bick you're them numbers they don't lie count the bodies in the ditch and in it you gonna lie homeboy's praying for you

oh my man hey man what don't remember what kevin do to you man damn bro like his wife listen now did he say anything to you on twitter that like would have justified well his wife that's the people paid a thousand So I just felt like I wanted to give them. I wanted to research. Anybody knows a real rap dish. You got to do your research like you just say you want to know like I was like you're ain't no gangster. You went to Florida. You know, it's like your real name's Clancy. I don't know it was so just like you really look up everything about them and you just use it to embarrass them, you know? Yeah. And it wasn't hard with him because he's like a real embarrassing like kind of Poconoci white guy. All right. So okay. So the okay. So when he dropped dropped like his this track. Yeah. Did you and him ever like hop on like hop on the phone? at that time and like talk or kind of like so we were talking through DMs but we weren't really like I you know he was still like I don't know I feel like he thought it was going to be like some running joke and he was going to be like laughing at this rapper and then all of a sudden it just started getting us I feel like it just fucked his brain up we're even still

to this day we still have a complicated friendship you know because I seen him like talk about you yeah that's all he does and he so the video that I saw he was like well Tico came to the office today and nobody knew who she was which which I was like wait hold on now if nobody at the office knows who you are then that probably means nobody at the audience knows this knows this Tico's story right yeah so then he said you know I I now have to tell the tell the story again yes says nobody knows about Tico right but but we can get there though so right so this is 2015 that this happens right By the time 2017, when I went to the office, there's no one there that worked there in 2015.

Because 2015, no one worked there. Barstow was on the up and coming. So 2017 is all these new people that's coming in. So unless you're like historically, you can know about the saga, you wouldn't because they don't bring it up. They don't talk about it. So, of course, those baseball fans didn't know who I was. But when I went there, I went on the PA system and I sure went the fuck off on them. They knew who I was after I left.

I'd tell you that much. Hey, listen. we would definitely get to that right but speak on this before I got hired yeah right yeah but wait so why'd you go there and yell at them so Dave would always do they would always before I got hired at Barstool he would just pay me to do little videos or like pay for my plane tickets to come to New York you know just to talk just to you know because I'm a character at Barstall regardless of me being an employee yeah of course because I did the second so I came up there just a

visit the new HQ. Mm. And what are some things you told them over the PA system? I was like, there was a guy I was going in for, in particular. They wanted me to come at. His name was Nate. And I was like, oh, like, you think. Well, hold up.

Babe brought you there to go at Nate? No, no. Dave didn't bring me there to go to Nate. Dave just brought me there. But one of the people, they know, like, I'm not scared of no static ever. Like, if you know me, you just know, I'm always with whatever. Like, I don't go fuck. I ain't scared of shit.

And then it's funny, right? It's not really. if you take it so serious you're a fucking lame you know what i'm saying can't take it that serious so i was like because they were like oh he just went on tour he thinks he's hot shit so i was like oh you went on tour i've been on tour since i was five years old bitch suck my like i just shit that didn't really you know just talking bad shit you told a grown man to suck your yeah now you knew right like like those white boys were some squares yeah marks yeah easy stuff exactly hey listen man you're gonna do shit Hey, listen, brad, like, you know, like, you're not telling no niggas.

Yeah. Oh, that's not. So I suck your. No, no, no, no, no. That's crazy. Maybe. Depending on the nigger. Listen.

Maybe. Depending on how he disrespect. Like last night, that was a nigger that I would have told suck my dick to because he was wild up. He always got beat the fuck up out here in these L.A. streets last night. Let me see you out here. Yeah, we almost jumped the nigger last night. Why?

Man, suck our bitch-ass, bitch-ass random ass nigga. Nah, he was like wanting Instagrams and was mad. You know, when the rejection. So wait, wait though So like, so you all was a group right Now as men like we know right Like when you walk up to a group You have to identify the girl in the group

That you think you can get right Yeah but you can't get none of it right Yeah right Because if you pull up and try to like shoot at all three It's not going to happen right why Why? Because it just because it looks like you're trying to get anything No

Like whoever is going to fall for you Yo, two-bit joke. It's who you're going to end up with. You're not really attracted to none of them. We're just trying to get to be anywhere. No, right? It's because girls like date, like, they are easily impressionable, right? Meaning, like, for example, if a guy, like, walks up, right?

Even if they find him attractive, if they know that they homie or another girl had turned him down once, now they automatically think now he's like, ew, you feel me? Right? Yeah. But if all y'all want to him, she would think, oh, my God, he's the best thing ever, right? And try to talk to him even if he's not attractive, right? That's just how girls work, meaning like... No, that's not how me and my bitches work.

What? We don't, we ain't trying to talk to a nigga just because he's trying to talk to our home girl or whatever weird or talk. Like, no. We don't, honestly, it's all about the approach when you come. And if you're trying to get a girl's number, if you're trying to talk to a girl, you talk to a girl. Yeah. You talk to her like a lady. You treat her with respect.

And then she'll give you respect back. And regardless if she's attracted to you or not, you know, she'll share her Instagram probably or whatever as long as you just come with some respect, you know? But who's more attractive? The guy who pulls up to y'all three, right? And you know that, oh, shit, all the home girls find him attractive. I just don't. But they all do. Or the guy who pulls up that you find attractive, but everybody else is like, ew.

I think that's what's great about my friend group is that we all are attracted to different men like my friend like light skin men I like more chocolate like we don't really never we're not really finding probably the same guy attractive like that to be honest like not I don't it's not really a problem with me and my bitches with that because we all we have different preferences you know what I'm saying so it's like we don't never have to fight over or we are worry about like we all get niggas so it's like what trip off what trip off him talking to her it's another nigga trying to talk to me the next second I can't even look at this nigga other nigga grabbing me you know

know yeah so he pulls up yeah and he tries to talk to who first cooler who's cooler Lola who oh okay Lola buddy yeah yeah yeah he tried I was not around I was in the club you know but my bitch was ran off my bitch just ran off kind of a little similar a little a little bit not too far away like a skirt like cute she was just cute yeah yeah she was looking cute She was looking cute. I was in the club. I didn't know what happened. I was in the club.

Me and Georgia still in the club. You know, politics and doing our shit. Our bitches ran away. We didn't know our bitches ran away. We turned around. Our bitches is gone. So now we got to go find our bitches. So we go out.

And when we go out, she's like, they turned up. So now, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, what the fuck? So I want to know what happens. So I wanted to ask the guy because I'm like, who made my girls feel uncomfortable? Like, I'm going to defend my friends every time. So I went. And I was just like, what happened?

What happened? And he starts yelling at the top of his lungs, getting nuts, going, act like he about to run down. So we got a video of it. I'm not going to lie. And I stood there. When he ran down, I stood right in position because I was like, if you're going, if we're going to square up, let's square up. Was he white or black? Black.

Dark skin or light skin? Dark skin. Okay. But how dark skin, no, like. Very dark. Very darker. Darker than me. So, some of Michael Blackson, King of Mufasa, black.

We're not going to do that. We're not going to do the level of blacks right now. What does that mean? Is he African, though? Or he was... I don't think he was African, but he was very dark skin. But what does that mean? Yeah, he was following her.

I had a motherfucker like, like, listen, and he sound Caribbean. I'll be real with you. He was, it's, it's, like, I don't know. I think he sounded a retardant. And dark skin and possesses. Yeah, acting crazy, running down on girls. And then this light skin guy with muscles, this little like six, four little light skin died came out of nowhere.

Like, he pulled up. And as soon as he pulled up, the guy ran away. Oh. So, okay. So the Captain Sablehold came. See, oh shit. He's ugly as fuck. There are some bad.

Hold on. Oh, Captain Save Well. Don't not hold. No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, wow. It's a term that means like. So he shouldn't, I thought you said protect black women, flaco. It's a term that means like.

I thought you said protect women. Is that a joke or you was for real? I thought you said protect women. I'm definitely for like protect women that like you know. No, right? No, that's not right. Right. Right. You pull up.

If you see a random nigga that you know, you know she doesn't know him, it's not like that's her boyfriend. Sure. You know, and they're just having a fight.

He didn't even yell at the guy. He didn't even talk to the guy. All he did was standing right beside me. me like what's up like you are you yelling at this girl now what guys are next to her you gonna

that you really don't got shit because your mouth is your weapon. Yeah, of course, man. Where your real weapons at? But luckily, though, there was no incident. No incident. No incident. The six-foot-pole, the guy ran away.

Yeah. And I'm assuming that, that, like, he was your type. But you know, it's so funny I mean, he was, he was tall, he was cute, but like, we didn't care about talking to him. No one got his number. No one got his Instagram. He ain't get ours.

You know, it wasn't about, oh, let me protect these girls just to hollied them. Yeah. So that's what was the cool part. He came up, stood right there, and then walked away. And shit, we didn't say nothing to each other. I'm sure his intent was probably to like, yo, listen, bro. Like, I see, I see some fat asses. Hey, listen, like, Georgia?

Yo, listen, yo, like her ass is crazy. Wait, wait. wait uh georgia who the hell's georgia her right darcy oh man darcy right oh man you just said any random name that came to your head you ain't even know her name you like i'm gonna just say her hey listen i'm gonna say a random name i'm 100% sure bro like that man seen the 65 inch wide screen tv aft from the back of it and it said hey bro i gotta protect that shit you feel I mean, he ain't even asked for the numbers, so I don't know. I don't know, he didn't even, you know, he ain't actually, he just, he just, yeah, what though?

Hey, hey, hey, listen, I would not, listen, I won't, won't ever talk to no other girl, but, you know, like, I can give up observation, right? Like, you know, right, like, you know, right, like, you know, she's slim, you feel me? She's like medium size, right? Right, right, you know, right? You know, she's like, um, No, no, uh, because you're like taller than like fun size, right? I'm five three. Yeah, right?

Like fun size is like five feet to like five, you know, one is right? Yeah, you know, she's, you know, she's like a normal size girl, you feel what? Thin and she got the wide inch TV, you feel me? Right? But back to Tico, all right? So after 2017 and we'll let today, partner are saying, we're going to get. give Tico a podcast there. So, um, I feel like what it was is that it just made the sense of it.

It made sense. And I feel like Dave was a smart enough man that if it makes sense to him, he's down to at least try. And what did it happen? So, man, to be honest, like, you know, I'll tell y'all some shit that I ain't, I don't know if I should say this, but it's over with now. So I guess maybe I can't talk about it, but I'll give y'all some tea. You know, I was in LA, I got a call and I found out like I was wanted in Texas, right?

You know what I'm saying? And I'm like, what the fuck? Like real, like some serious shit. And then I got the call from Barstool right after saying, oh, we want to do a radio interview with you. Did it? Can you call in? I said, nah, no, no, no, give me a flight trying to come to New York. Yeah.

Because now, I mean, I'm on the run. Now I got to go all the way on the run. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't going back to Texas no time soon. So I go. I fly to New York. and I'm so scared on the plane the whole entire time. Some crazy shit happened.

You know, I lost all my clothes, lost everything on the plane, every single thing that I brought there, landed in New York without nothing, and went to Barstool. I went shopping at, like, whatever, 4-21 and some shit got some clothes. Went to Barstool. And then on the way there, I'm thinking in my head, I'm like, I'm going through all this shit right now. I'm possibly headed for a life of crime when I'm very intelligent woman,

a lot of potential, time to make a little switch turn. and I'm going to ask Dave on air. Like, while I'm on the train to the interview, this hits me. I was like, I'm going to ask Dave on air for a job. Because I never asked Dave for a loan. I never asked him much of shit. So I'm like, this is perfect because we've been friends since 2015. In 2016, he flew to Texas to meet me in person.

So we got closer. You know what I'm saying? Pay for my weed out there. Shout out of you, Dave. I love that. But now we had a blast out there. So we got real, we were getting close. So I was like, instead of a loan, let me go ahead.

ahead and just ask him for a job. So on the live on a podcast, he's like, what you doing in New York? I was like, I'm doing some shit with music. I'm doing to that. And I'm trying to get hired by you. He's like, are you dead serious? Because I ain't never asked him for a job before. And he knows that I could have just text him at any time.

So he's like, what? I think he was a little thrown off by it. And he's like, are you serious? I'm dead serious. He's like, what you want to talk about? And I pitched my podcast to Tico 10, which is going to be the 10 topics on sports, music and culture, you know, and I just was ready. And he was like, let's try it out.

Fuck it. So he agreed on camera. And I made, I was like, this is a promise, right? You ain't just saying this for content. He's like, nah, no, no, no, I got you. So then how soon after that did you film your first? Man, I went through so much. I went through, he negotiated the contract with me for two and a half months.

But what was going, what was fucked up is that I was like pretty much homeless in New York City at that time. Because I lived in Houston. I was about to move back to LA. I found out that shit that happened flew in New York. So right now I'm paying rent somewhere else. And I'm just out here paying more money to just something that might not not even happen. So, you know, I was crying every other day. Like, I was telling my friends, like, you know, I give up, did it. Like, they just like, bro, just keep going, keep going.

So I was showing up to the office auditioning, but I wasn't paid yet or contracted yet. Wait, though. So like, you say y'all was negotiating for two months. Yeah. I went in July. The money, the way, what's going to happen? What is it going to be? Is it going to happen? Is it going to do to that? Okay, here's an offer. Okay, do you decline it. It was that back in the fourth of it but you got to understand I was paying rent somewhere else and remember I just told you I had the shit on the run for so I'm like my brain was so fucked off that before we could sign the contract I left I went back to Houston but when I went back to Houston I was like you know where I'm not gonna turn myself in until I get that call

from Dave I made a promise to myself yeah yeah so then I wrote him and I just I was like I wrote him 8 o'clock in the morning I woke up I was just like Dave I'm a big girl either it's gonna be yes or it's gonna be no but let me know so that I can move on from the situation. And then he said, your first day is October 1st, and then I turned myself in the next day after that. All right. Wait.

So then, okay, so then how much was the first bar still deal? The first offer? Yeah. The first offer was 70? A year in New York? Yeah. All right. That's decent.

Yeah, not bad. And what was the offer that you accepted? it. 100K. So a hundred care, yeah. Yeah. So, and he texts you when in September? September.

Like September 27th, 28th, something like that. Like, it was a couple days until October 1st. So then you turned yourself in? Yes. So weren't you scared that you was going to miss the start? No, so I already, I paid my lawyer at 10K. So I already knew he had a setup where you can go to you can turn yourself in but you don't go to jail you just go up to the courthouse and get

fingerprinted and get booked or whatever like that but you don't actually like go to jail you know and i didn't have like any flight restrictions i don't have no ankle monitor you know what i'm saying so after i got out i booked my i went to new york they didn't know i was dealing with that shit then when you went to new york okay so your first day was october 1st but obviously you still had to choose your co-hosts and so like that right yeah yeah so i didn't start on my i like uh Like, Dave recommended for me to pick someone at Barstool and maybe if I did, I would have still been there, to be honest, because I think that he knew what he was talking about. Because I think he knew that the fans are still getting familiar with me. So it's better to get someone that they're already familiar with for the success of the podcast.

So why did you choose not to choose anybody at Barstow? So I have a twin brother, right? Oh, okay. He's taught me everything on sports. We have a great dynamic. We're very comfortable with each other. We already have these debates and these conversations every day anyway. So, you know, you always kind of want to bring in your family to a situation.

That feels good. You know what I'm saying? When you bring in your, you know, at least for me, I'm very, I'm really close to my family. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, I'm the only artist in my family. I'm full of, my sister's a cardiac cardiovascular surgeon, you know, number eight, whatever in the nation and some shit. Like, you know, Nigerians are very high achieving and I'm the only creative.

So this is something for me to be able to bottom my family in my industry. So it may, it made kind of sense to me. Oh, okay. And he was paying the brother to? No, I just was like getting his flights for him. You know, he was crashing on my couch for free, you know, in New York. But, but like, if y'all are filming a podcast every week. Yeah.

So how did him, like, flying out work? So he wasn't on it every week. He'd be on it like every other week, you know? And then it did start to get a little tricky. Yeah, of course. And that's what, you know, that's like kind of helped with us, like, our podcast succeeding because it was a really good podcast. But it just, without my co-host being in New York City, it was really tough.

Right, right. So, like, at that point, like, did, like, did, like, you say, okay, I need another co-host who's more consistent? I did. I really thought about it because it was hard because he really started loving it, right? He really started, you know, because he's always his dream is to be a sports commentator. You know what I'm saying? So I think it was. Yeah, but not just be a, exactly.

A third host. Yeah. I feel like it was complicated, and I told him I kind of wanted to do it. We kind of had a little thing about it. He said he was going to do better, you know, and I forgave him. But, yeah. Wait, so, so, like, you never got a third host. It was just y'all too.

Like, I would have guest hosts or I would have, like, guests on, and when we would talk about the topics together. You know what I'm saying? Because I would interview a lot of different artists, and I would interview people from Barstool. I would interview anybody that I wanted to. If he wasn't around, I could still do content. You know what I'm saying?

Now, so this was true. 2018 you got the deal sign no it's the 2021 okay got 20 20 20 20 21 yeah now how successful was the podcast really early on the podcast was very successful early on and it was like a lot of traction on it um but then my editor got fired um a couple months later because the podcast cut the uh went off and started going off in November end of November and then in May they fired my editor So I don't have no idea why I was May is my birthday. I was in St. Thomas.

And I kept on seat on Twitter that everyone, like a lot of people from bars were getting fired. There are multiple people getting fired. So I was really scared. I was like, am I going to get fired on my day off? Like, what the fuck? So they call me. Mind you, the night before my birthday, they call me.

And I'm like, oh my gosh, bro. Like, what's gonna happen? So I answer it. It's my nigga Hank. Shout out to Hank. I always been my boy. Always will be my boy. But he calls me.

He's like, hey, I just want to tell you something. I'm like, what's going on? He's like, you no longer have an editor. But you can continue to film at Barstool. You continue to, you know, do your thing. If you go 10, you can still do it, but you don't have an editor. And I was like, it was good news because I wasn't fired. But then there's bad news because it's like, fuck, I don't know how to edit my fucking videos.

I don't, I'm worried about getting the guest, booking the questions, doing this, doing that. And now I got to worry about editing the video too. So I was like, fuck, this is going to be a task, but I'm going to attack it. And what I felt like what Dave was doing, he didn't have help. So he feels kind of, I feel like he feels a little. bit of way that we not a way but he's I don't know he's like we have too much help because he was just Dave was the number one content president of the company still oh really low key all the far as consistency always pushing something out always doing something

on his own so I feel like he cut a lot of the help just so we could do it on our own but it was pretty tough with that man so you have some highs and lows yeah at barstool yeah one of the lows would be what happened when the astros were um were in the world series i think why would that be a low that was the biggest high yes but then an incident happened where when you was at the bar okay um i think you oh yeah that was crazy you were watching the game with a couple of people yes who was you there with like um so i you know i call every i got why you a baseball fans right so it's like it was interesting that i became a baseball fan i feel like they kind of were upset about that or whatever so when i was

walked in the game one at first i walked in as trolling just because the asteros are playing the yankees i'm from houston texas all these people are from new york it's just a perfect situation so then it went from trolling to me actually enjoying it tommy smokes um big ev um barstall hubs um spidey um me a guy named philly maize um a bunch of different people that worked at barstall and and they watch sports all the time i had never been in the gambling came before oh wait so like so like watching sports together is a thing that they usually do but then you came yeah because it's a boys thing it's a boys club okay so so who invited you okay so to tell you the truth it's so crazy on that story because everybody thinks dave did it or this person did it how what happened was

that i saw my phone at the assholes was playing the yankees i was like isn't that interesting The security card, Dan, he comes up in there and he like, yo, Tico, you ain't going to go into gambling cave? And I'm like, well, he's like, you need to go in a gambling cave. It's Houston. Come on. So I'm like, damn, he's right. So I went ahead, went in there, and never walked back out. Okay, it just became my whole thing.

So then game two, okay, so game one, we obliterated them. We killed them. They thought it was over. I thought maybe it was only for one game that they had to deal with me. Game two watch party. They didn't tell me where it was at. I think the whole crew came up with a thing that we weren't going to invite Tico.

Wow. Because now it's going to turn into the Tico, Texas stream, the Tico Taco stream in particular. You know what I'm saying? It's going to turn into that. And they don't want that. They want to keep it basic, Caucasian. How was you trolling the first time now?

In the first game? Yeah. Like, how bad was your strolling and trolling right there? Like, these people said, oh, yeah, we don't want her to come no more. I mean, it went from trolling to me. actually celebrating like I don't know you have a sports theme are you into sports at all yes so it's like you know when you're when a team that you like is really i mean it gets the passion out of you you

start yelling you start jumping up and down you start celebrating you know so i was just doing all of that okay so were you being like and and like unruly were you like you know you know right like cussing people all like ha ha fuck you and a nah i was just celebrating i wasn't really like doing anything personal because it wasn't personal to anyone for me it was just me really rooting for my team so i feel like they just the the live stream lit up it was just a lot and i just felt like they own that baseball stream and they were very protective of it so it's like just to let me in was almost like letting me into the company it's all you can also it's kind of symbolic you know i'm saying where it's just like it doesn't really fit in here but i don't know how i feel about it you know what i'm

saying so it was almost symbolic to my whole experience at bar school wait what does that mean though like that was symbolic to your whole experience yeah which is like being a star but as being a star in a place that you're not really that celebrated at because i wasn't welcome even though i was bringing that star power to the live stream even though i found out from the editors that i blew up the numbers bigger than any baseball stream in the history of barstool like even though even through all that i wasn't really welcomed why wasn't you welcome Because I feel like they felt like I maybe I wasn't a real fan. They felt like what do females know about sports?

They felt like, you know, I'm just a troll. I don't, you know, I don't really know. They just, you know, okay, you know what? The main reason why I wasn't welcome? Because my team was we made motherfucking ass. No, no. Wait, though, right? So, beyond that, though, like, you said that that was symbolic of your experience at Barstool.

Why did you feel, feel like people weren't a welcome to you at Barstool? I felt like the whole time I was fighting at bars school. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, Dave, what Dave did is Dave gave me opportunity, but Dave was not in office. Dave was in Miami because he does his taxes in Florida. So he has to be there for six months out of the year. So Dave basically put me on, and then he told me sink or swim.

You know, I can't be the floaty guards for you. I got to be off in Miami. So Dave was my number one friend there, but he's the number one person there, right? So it's going to be hard because he's my help. He's the person that really cares. He's the one that probably wants to see me succeed. These other people, not so much. Because it's a competitive thing in Barstall.

It's very competitive, you know? So I just felt like I definitely wasn't just, yeah, opened armed welcome. Like, you know what I'm saying? I had to pay for my own flights. I was paying for my own hotels. I was doing my own shit. You know what I'm saying?

Like I wasn't really held up to be the star that I had the potential to be. So that's what I say. It was just a fight. It was a fight to get in the Astro Stream. It was the fight to stay in Barstall. Now, when you say, like, they felt like I wasn't really a big fan of my baseball. Well, like, we don't have to feel that way because one of the guys actually said it, right?

And who's the guy when you got up to walk away? Yeah. He said you were a bad person. You aren't a regular fan. And who was that? That was this guy named Barstall Hubbs, which is, like, the only thing he has at Barstall is in the baseball stream. So that's why I thought you were very possessive of it. because that's the only thing that he's, it's like, that's that moment to shine.

Like right now, everybody is shining as a baseball fan because, you know, everyone's watching it right now. Everyone watches the playoff. So that was like his shit. And I came in there and it became my shit. And it really just irritated him all the way to the bone. And his work, you know, that venom came out of him. Where when I walked away, he said on camera, you know, she's a horrible person, horrible, horrible, she does not belong at this company.

Right. What's the exact quote? I'm not sure. Let's get the exact quote. He says she does not belong on it at this company. I mean, he said, he said some shit, definitely. And that was a, that, when it took, I got, it took it a little far at that point because I was like, damn, like, you know, what happened to sportsmanship?

What happened to just, girl, you know, this is a great, this is a great story. This is the underdog story. But instead, you know, he decided, and in Barstle is so messy because they tweeted it. Because I didn't hear it. I saw the tweet. Yeah, okay. And that's how I knew what he said. And I had to sit next to him the whole time.

Don't even know who hit the whole run. It's really because like, it doesn't know any players on the team. It's a fucking loser. It's terrible. Okay. Okay. So. My.

It's doesn't know any players on the team. Just a fucking loser. A terrible person all through and through. No work ethic whatsoever. Doesn't belong with this company. Just a fucking loser. Why did he go that hard, bro? Like, what was said doing that stream, bro?

I was celebrating the Astros were up five zero. You know, I was on top of the chair. Nothing personal towards him. I just was like enjoying the moment. Did you say like something to him, no? No, nothing. Because like, because, because that's hard. Like, like that's like, yo, we enemies here.

You feel me? Yeah. Yeah. So he didn't say nothing at all? No. And then so by him doing that, he really fucked himself in the eyes. because by him doing that it exposed his past. Wait, wait, all right, wait, though.

So before that, though, right? So when he said that, you got a wind light off, and then, like, you came back. So when you came back. I saw the tweet. So you were now aware of what he said. Yes. So how did that interaction go?

We started getting into it a little bit on the mic, you know, because I was like, pussy-ass boy, you know, I'm saying, I'm talking mad shit at this point now because gloves are off. You know, you didn't say all this shit. I'm actually pissed off. So, you know, I'm talking my shit. But at this point now, he knows he fucked up.

Because, you know, it was like a blurred out. He didn't really like intentionally mean to really say that. And he's just, he's drunk, right? Yeah, we were exactly. We were drinking. So I felt like he tried to backtrack a little bit, you know, and he just tried to like go into like a quiet mode where he just wasn't really interacting with me. But I really felt like that was just so pussy.

because you said all this shit and then I'm coming and talking in your face and now you got nothing to say okay you know wait and what about that then exposed exposed like his quote-unquote past so I feel like when the that statement looks a little off because you're saying like okay this girl doesn't belong at this company but why doesn't she belong there the easiest I mean the most obvious question is going to be answered in that thing where it's just like it seems like you might have a problem with the black people because you took this really personal and then you did say she doesn't belong at this 90% white company so you know i don't have to paint the picture of how that looks you know what i'm saying and with that people started doing research on it and seeing does does hubs have racist tendencies and it happened to be a lot of evidence online of racist tendencies of him saying black women should be put in cages and get your asian ass back to your country and just all of these crazy things started coming out but these are tweets and it wouldn't have came out if he didn't say that towards me because it had got covered up or whatever like that you know it had got pushed away of

under the rug but by him coming at me and saying these things that could be took ass a little racist people started doing their research and it popped back up so okay so how soon after that did the tweets pop up there the next day wow so then once that happened everyone did they they were like this was kind of weird why is he coming here so crazy and then it's like it just like coming at the only black girl but i once the tweets are resurfaced yeah just walking through so the next day at the office how was that did he come awkward he no he text me okay i don't you know he's not really like a i don't think he's a confrontational person um so he ended up texting me i never text him back you know but he texts me a

very long apology but the only reason he texts the apology because i know dave told him to so to me like if you apologize that same night, that's different. You know, like, hey, Tico, but you apologize on like two days later because of all the heat and all the backlash because the tweets came out, I didn't respect that apology. So he apologized for saying you are a horrible person. Yeah. But speak on the, like the reaction to the tweets. Like, how was that at the office?

Was that talked about? Was people? It was. Like, how was it talked about. But I felt like at the same time, you got to understand who's fighting for. for the it to be resolved. Everyone's just worried about keeping their own ass, keeping their own job.

So they're not really trying to be too messy about it because it is racially sensitive. And Barstall has issues with that. So I felt like, you know, the black people talked about it at Barstool, you know? And we talked about it a little bit too with some coworkers, but it wasn't presented like at all. It was more like, don't talk about this.

Was he disciplined for that or no? was not disciplined for that wait and how old were like the tweets it's these tweets are at 10 years old he's 30 years old so when he was when he was 21 yeah right here right yeah right because if he was like like a 21 year old kid 10 years ago it's hard to really like punish somebody 14 year old tweets right right all right all right but if it was up to you though like what would like what would the punishment have been I mean I think that a race someone that's like, you know, that makes racist tweets like that.

I don't think that that's good to have at your company if it's already kind of issues behind that. I feel like, you know, if you make a stand towards racism and at the end of the day, if he has lose his job, it's where he has lose his job. But, you know, you have to, like, stand for people and, like, not say that it's, this is okay to talk about black people like this. And that means you have to lose your job, that means that you have to lose your job, you know?

And even if it's old tweets, you're 21 years old, you're not 16, 17, you know? you were you're grown enough to know that this isn't right for you to talk about black people in this way you know so and like was it i wasn't i wasn't like advocating for him to be fired you know what i'm saying i wasn't like oh he needs to be fired or i'm leaving or anything like that i wasn't doing all that but at the same time i didn't feel like protected by my company i didn't know one had a conversation with me no one was like hey to go how do you feel about this and did are you okay like you know i know i know i got a little crazy in the stream i mean no so i don't know i would have loved to just maybe have a conversation about it yeah right because because i feel like if something like that

happens here the redid the fans like it's going to be like too much pressure that like we would like we would have to talk about it on on you know exactly on air exactly so did everybody just sort of ignore it like was it ever like brought up on air on a podcast on stream or it was just sort of you know Dave did call me and you know he told me because basically i retweeted the tweets the racist tweets and i was like this makes sense and um That stirred up more controversy, obviously, because now I'm responding to it. It just continue to stir the pot. So he calls me, and he's just like, can you delete those tweets?

And, you know, I was just like, okay, but what's going on with him, you know? And then he just like, Hubs has been here for 10 years. And, you know, that was a long time ago. And, like, you know, he's apologized. And like, you know, it just, you know. He said he said, I didn't really agree with it. And I did delete the tweets, though. Because at the same time, I wasn't, I'm not trying to make Dave look like anything.

Because he already has accusations, right? You know what I'm saying? What are the accusations against Dave? Because I don't know. That he's racist. That the company is racist. The employees are racist. I mean, it's a never-ending theme, you know?

So I feel like, you know, I didn't really think about it that. I didn't think about it when I retweeted. They hired you, though. So they can't be racist, right? I didn't think about it, the fact that it was going to look bad on him in the company, you know? Ooh, so I just made a comment about they hired Jews, the King races, right? And you sort of like, like us like, like, I'll side step that. Why?

I feel like I don't, Dave definitely was not forced to hire me. He does what he wants. Yeah, of course. But the like, I don't think that they would have hired a black female content creator probably just because it doesn't work for the company. Maybe if she's already famous, you know. So what about a black woman content creator doesn't work for Barstool? Okay, so are you a black female content creator is going to talk about dick?

Because then maybe you might have some success. Because regardless of any of like even like racists, they'll want to fuck black girls because they're sexy, you know? Even though they have problem with black people. So it's like a sex appeal can kind of make you like passable in a race person's mind. So I feel like either because the girls at Barstow, we talk about you. either sex and the guys talk about sports, right? And it's me being a girl from the culture, right? And from Nigerian parents that I can't really talk about sucking dick on the air every

episode. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was trying to do more of the sports, culture route. And that wasn't going to work when the audience doesn't respect a black female's voice on sports. Ah, so you felt like the audience probably wanted you to be like a locale, kind of like a character, right? Yeah, definitely.

You come, I'm like the mammy who's here trying to suck every white guy's dick. Yeah, exactly. That would be, that would have gave me a lot more success. So it's me coming in and being myself, I feel like, I mean, it just, there was a reason why he hasn't hired one. There's a reason why since I've been gone, he hasn't hired a new one. It just doesn't really work for the demographic. But you ooze a sex appeal, though.

I would say that. I would say that, but I'm just not really comfortable with just talking about the dicks that I've taken on camera or like sucking dicks and like, you know, that just, you know, that I just not, it's so, it's so much more to just like my sex appeal. I'm very intelligent. I have a lot of opinions on things. So I just wanted to be respected for that and not really, you know, just be objectified like that.

Yeah. So outside of the issue with Barstall Hub, was there any other issues that, like, you felt like wasn't addressed or you felt like you weren't okay with? There was a situation that happened. And, you know, Edwin, we did just talk on text and we're good, but I am going to bring it up. I mean, there was a situation where Michael B. Jordan came to Barstow, right? I was at home. I was at home leaving on the train to work.

I guess he came at like 10 a.m. I'll come in and work like 12. So Michael B. Jordan, while I'm on the train to work, I see one of my coworkers did a video. One of my Asian co-workers, whatever, she made a video of him. So me, just the kind of stunt, I screen recorded her video and was like, you know, Michael B. Jordan's at my job. Right? Just so I'm like, oh, look, like Michael B. Jordan, do that. But I wasn't there. I get there.

And, you know, everything's fine or whatever. And then one of the guys that was working on a million dollars worth the game, which is where he went on, he, like, pressed me in an office room, you know. The wallow or Gilly? No, Edwin, who does the, who I brought up the other day. Remember, I said, I didn't even know he would get fired because he was very. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, a Dominican guy.

He comes and presses me in a room and is like deleted right now. Mind you what he didn't know is that I was on the phone, my friend who was having like a really bad episode and it was like some real crazy stress, stressful shit going on. So he's coming in and trying to tell me about an Instagram story that's on another, Frang, mind you, where's the bitch at? Sorry, the young lady at who actually posted this. I had a repost. You know what I'm saying? You coming in me right now.

Go hollet, because I guarantee you it's probably still on hers. But you coming at me right now and looking kind of crazy. So I'm on the phone and he's like, did it that. And we had like a little moment that it almost got physical. Oh, really? And I didn't really feel protected. I felt, you know, I felt intimidated. I felt like, you know, I'm just like, what the fuck is going on?

Like, it's not that serious. Like, because basically what happened was that, okay, I put it on my story. He said delete it. I deleted it, right? But I posted it on close friends. I have one girl, LeBarcelot was on my close friends. One girl, Ebony, at the receptionist at the front. They're cool.

So I guess she showed it to him. Mm-hmm. He took a picture of it, sent it to the higher up. It's like, oh, it's still on her close friends. Can nobody fucking see close friends? But my close friends, what does it even matter? But he sent it to the higher up and the higher up text to me. They're like, hey, can you take it off your close friends now?

I'm like, wow. So then I didn't take it down yet off my close friends, because I was yours on the phone. And mind you, still on close. It's not, it's off my story by this point. So he runs in, like, take it down close friends. I'm like, you're gonna get the fuck out of my face right now. Awesome real shit right now. I'm kind of like at that edge.

So you coming in me all. intimidated you might get slapped right now real shit you know and i pushed him out of the room i locked the door and you know i eventually later on like to lead it off close friends like an hour later or whatever damn yeah why was he so bugging out like about that i feel like it's power it's a lot of power trips especially with men and females i don't think he would have done a nigger like that to be honest i feel like it's some it's some power trips with these male that are in powers and females and i feel like you know because at that time i didn't feel i felt like he was trying to skis It's like what you're trying to scare me for? Why can't you just you see how the higher up sex me very nicely

Hey Tico do you mind taking this down. That's all you have to do you got my number send me a text I let me like a human don't don't come at me all crazy because now you'll really get popped up and you'll really get sucked up and I never I never talked to nobody at bar still about that Nobody even knows about that situation but it was just situations like that like it was just that's that fighting shit that I'm talking about even physically actually fighting Yeah wait and and he was tripping why because they didn't want the world The world to know that Michael Reed Jordan was coming there. But you know, what was interesting is the next day, Barstle posted it on their social media that he was there. And the girl also posted it first.

Exactly. So it just seemed like it was coming in me or trying to like pick a grudge with me. And it was like, what's the issue? You know, it's not that many minorities at Barstall. So I'm not saying we should be united. I ain't saying we should be united, but like, let's kind of like have some respect. You know, don't cheat me like you would treat like one of these little bitches. You know what I'm saying?

She me with a little bit better respect. man and like after that like was like was like was like that was that like the only like was like was like that the last of your issues with other employees or or like management there you know i had an issue with this one what this little one white young lady where you know we went on a reality show together called surviving barstool and then it just kind of went like we had an altercation on camera but you know that's off of content surviving barstool yeah surviving barstile i was on a I was on the reality show for them. And then they kick me off first.

Of course. He'll kick the black person out first. God damn it. Surviving Barstool. It's like Survivor for Barstall. What was the premise of the reality show? Survival. We all stay in the office.

It's about nine of us or so. We all stay in the office and then we have to gain alliances so that we don't get voted off. And we can't leave the office. It's Survivor, but just surviving Barstle. That and like Big Brother. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, you make alliances and you don't get voted off.

And I got tricked at the end of my vote. What? My roommate, who I thought I was in an alliance with, was really an alliance with the guys. And he basically told me a lie so that I would vote the wrong way. So that I kind of sent myself home. Because it was four votes for Tico and there was supposed to be four votes for this guy named Eddie, who ended up winning the whole thing.

He almost got knocked off the first day. And when it came to him. to votes votes supposedly people everyone was going to take a group vote again and then i guess the guys they he does all this logic shit logistic shit he's a very data guy so i guess the data was saying that tico would win that group vote yeah so he had to throw me off so that i kind of almost sent myself home so then he told me the caroline girl which is the white girl so said that um uh was vote was gunning for me yeah so they were like we're all voting caroline vote caroline and mind you he's in alliance with me so i'm thinking he's telling me the truth you know this was my

roommate that I slept with in a room, you know? And when the votes are revealed, you see that it's three for Eddie, one for Caroline, four for Tico, which ends up sending me home. And when you was being told, yo, you're going home, did you like freak out? Uh, you know, I mean, I'm gonna play it up, you know what I'm saying? But I mean, I was, I did think about it for five days straight, how stupid I could be, how dumb I could be to really fall for a last minute trick like that, you know? So me and her got into like a little, like a little thing because I was like, I didn't know at the time when I was getting thing that she was, that like he did it.

I was still thinking like something about her. So I like went off on her like a little bit or whatever like as I was going out. I was like, yeah, bitch, I know what you did. I didn't click, click, click, click until I was really leaving. Then I was like, hold on. I think I know how this happened. Yeah, bro.

It was four, you know, they're like, yeah, yeah. Exactly. I think I know how this happened. So we had that, but that wasn't a real beef. Okay. I go home to Houston. Next scene, no, I'm getting added in. There's a big podcast on Barstall called the yak.

I'm getting added in the yak. Added in the yak. Crazy. I go to watch a video, the bitch gonna say, oh, yeah. They're gonna say, are you scared of Tico? They hyper her up, right? That's what these white boys go do. They hiked her up.

Like, you scared to go. She's like, I'm not scared to go. And they're like, you could take her. And then she's like, I'll beat Tico ass in a motherfucker alleyway. She was, I'll beat. Yeah. She was white. She was white.

She was almost my same build a little smaller than me. I'm a picture of her. She said, I'll beat, I'll beat Tico's ass in the da-da-da-da. I was like, whoa, sweetheart. What's all this? I'm like. Carolyn was part of the infant, like, she was part of like the fraternity and, right? And the infrastructure of Barstow?

She would have done? She's, no, she was a new girl. She was a new girl. She had barely got there. But, you know, it's just easy to turn the girl. girls against each other that's just what it is that's all that's the whole theme of life is turning the bitches against each other like she's like she like she like has a podcast she has a podcast she was a content creator before bar store she was no no no

just after barstool exactly yeah she was doing like comedy videos but I don't know she's not really funny I don't know you know but why people have different humor she's not you want to see one of her video way god it's no beautiful poor on Carolyn so let me me tell you what happened let me say what this bitch did bro what this young lady did so she did all that r r r r r rhyme when i was in houston out mind y'all's coming back the next day so you know i got to see me in person so i'm so when we're i went in the yak and i was like let's call in caroline because there was a lot to say when i'm not here let's have a conversation in person because bar still has an amateur boxing shit called rough and rowdy we could get 40k each to fight each

each other if you want to fight we could set it up for Brad you know what I'm saying so I got there I'm like call Caroline in there she's like I don't want to go in there huh so I make her come in and when I come in she got a Karen statement prepared she's like I said do you want to fight he said Tico I'm too busy doing concept of thing that you need to be doing did it I'm like damn but you could ride right right to do all that so you want to fight with rough and rowdy or nah bitch did like completely did some care and chair was like oh no I don't I don't want to fight.

I don't want to, what? But you said you wanted to fight. So what's up, bitch? Like, I just, shit like that was going on. So I put her face on a boxing thing in the middle of the office and I just went and did a fire ass TikTok video because I wanted to hype it up. Because maybe if a knife hype goes around it, then you're going to be forced to do the boxing. I'm trying to make that bad.

Fuck. You can still fight Caroline if you won't, too. I'll run for Roddy. It sounds like they had you in like in a trick bag, right? Right? Yeah. this right us you know right you know us as black folks like we have great personalities right yeah we're over the time right yeah but the but but the one

mistake that we often make when we go to like a new job is we like we present ourselves as this as as as this like extrovert you know right this like real great personality feel me right and we sort of like are too friendly with everybody right opposed to coming in earning your like respect for it meaning like right like right right right right like right like right like you know like like like like coming here and joking with with too many like co-workers sort of like make them like not respect you right opposed to coming being real like strict business business fuck you niggas i'm not right for me that's what i was on i never hung out with really any bar or still employees other than um happy hours after work or maybe a co-worker's birthday or something like that and everybody goes to the bar, but I never hung out with any of them besides Ebony, outside of that. I was never really, it was hard for me to even relate to them.

A lot of, you know, there's a lot of cool guys at Barstall. Shout out Nick. Shout out Tommy Smok. Shout out Brandon Walker. You know, shout out PFT. There was a lot of cool guys, but then there was a lot of, there's a lot of basics at Barstall, too. And, like, I'm not really basic as all, as you can tell. So it was going to, it's not going to be no, it's not going to be easy to get a friendship.

I was, if I actually had more friendship, I think I would have done better. you know what I'm saying but I didn't I didn't even go in there no friendly shit like I just I went in there on some business shit but at the same time I know you said that I was like being extra that I was already a character in the barstow world no you know what I'm saying so I'm not extra right I'm saying right like like here right so like when we like go to like different jobs right yeah we are just outgoing nice ourselves yeah ourselves yeah so being ourselves and being friendly with people yeah right again like not too much, just friendly with people. Yeah. They see that as a weakness and, it's kind of like, like, right? Like, right? Like, kind of like not respect you because you're nice to them, right?

Opposed to you come in and you do. Right? So now you're trying to like hurt your respect. Let me tell you, Barstle's a different type of company. Nobody really speaks to each other. We walk in and nobody says really good morning like that. No one's really that friendly. It's a really cutthroat company.

It really is. But it worked for me because I shit. I didn't really need, I didn't, I don't need friends. I've always been like a loner. I've always been a person that really didn't really need too many friends. So I'm like, shit, y'all just keep giving me that check every two weeks and letting me record. That's all I cared about. I didn't really care.

No one talks to each other at Barstool. Were you there with a car, when a car, daddy was there? I was actually there. So I talked about the PA thing or whatever like that. I was there when they were recording. They were recording and I saw them and thinking, I was like, who are these boring bitches? That's what I said, because they look kind of boring. and it's so interesting that you know they get their 60 million dollar deal so I

well that they one of them got to yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's fit but yeah I had met her before I hadn't seen her but by some I got there she'd already moved to Spotify yo so the one that's left right is it's called Alex right yeah um-hmm Alex Cooper yeah not her but I feel like you and Sophia together would well like have been dope right yeah She seems like a cool. The brunette. Yeah, right.

Yeah, right. Because Sophia, like, for example, right? Like, Alex Cooper still, like, still, like, still, like, like, has to veil love, you know. Yeah. I'm not a go digger, you feel me, right, right? Yeah. But, like, Sophia is, listen, bitch, I'm a go digger and I'm proud, you feel me? I ain't fucking no men without millions, right?

You, like, you and her and on a podcast would have been dope, right? No, but, though, the, the, like, reason why I brought that up was because, And on their way out, you know, like, you know, probably like, months before, they were like vlogs and shit. Yeah. And when they would walk in, like, you can see the tension where like nobody really liked them at Barstool. Yeah.

Right? Like where people were kind of like, you know. Yeah. You know, like they're, you know, like they're cocky, their egg and their pompous, you know? Yeah. But I, so you left Barstool or got fired when? Damn.

Or what? Or laid off? I got laid off. Barstle did a lot of layoffs. Barstall, so Barstle had some, Barstall always got some shit going, but Dave had sold Barstle to a company named Penn. So Penn was a very strict company and didn't really, like, was looking at numbers very hard. There was a running joke that nobody got fired from Barstall because Dave doesn't care about numbers. He cares about how people are trying.

He cares about the relationships that he have with people. So he kept a lot of people on still that maybe, like, numbers-wise weren't doing. the best because that wasn't that was never that's not really what it's about with him even though he is a money guy it's like he awards effort you know what I'm saying so a lot of people that he like would have saved I think Penn got rid of you know and that was including me so that I got I got laid off right before the layoffs before the big layoffs so Penn called you or Dave called no no so I was supposed to do it was really interesting because okay so after the Astros went I got millions of views for the company it was

going up right it was very you know Tico Taco was like being talked about a lot so me and the CEO which is a female we supposed to have a conversation about what's what's coming next how do we prepare for next year but basically finally like because I've been asking her to have a conversation because I want to succeed at this company and I'm trying to figure out how exactly do I do that so I was like let me have a conversation with my CEO because I really do want to I know I'm a star but I want to become a bar store star you know so but some conversation from October till May we didn't have a conversation right and then May she's finally like okay I can we can let's talk so I'm thinking that

this is a talking about the future of my at the company but not in a way that of getting let go I'm thinking I'm thinking oh to go this what we can do or you know we're going to give you an intern maybe to help you out a little bit or did I thought that's what the conversation was going to be about she's in the conversation a guy named gaz which is head of content still fuck with you guys um he was in a conversation and dave was not they was not in this video chat and on the video chat i talk you know she's like hey how are you doing i have my astro shirt on i was a game later on that day and um she was like um yeah you know basically pan is looking at our money crazy and now we have to make like a lot of cuts

because we're just not really making the, like things aren't making the money that needs to be make it made and we're just using too many resources. So just like as soon as I got on the, on the call, she like broke it to me. I was very surprised. Because I like, I knew that my consistency wasn't completely there, but I knew that like, you know, they knew, like they had to call me the X factor just maybe a month ago at the company meeting, you know, which is the X factor is like someone that can really shine in situations, you know. So I didn't think that like, you just going to let go of the X factor like that I mean wait and when you say like the X factor what like like no sorry and when you say like your consistency wasn't there was you saying like what like you wasn't

recording your podcast every week I was recording but okay I had I was outsourcing I was paying one of my friends to edit my podcast paying her $100 each episode and you know this friend is more about at that time was more about partying than she was working so my personal relationship with her kept me from doing the smart idea, which is to fire her and go get somebody else that's actually consistently putting out the product. But instead I was letting her rock. I was like, oh, like, you know, what was crazy is a month before I got, you know, I got let go, I had a dream that I was getting let go, right?

And I got very emotional over it. I was crying, everything. And I called her and I told her that I was going to have to probably let, like, not have her work on my podcast anymore because I don't, like, something is going to happen. And I got to stop it before it can happen. So she was like, please, please, like I'm going to do better. I'm gonna do better. I'm gonna do better. Didn't come out with a podcast after that. I thought I had time. I thought I had time for a month.

Well, like some more. That's like that like that's crazy. Yeah, for a month. So then by that time, I mean, they're they were giving me probably that grace period that probably was God talking to me in a dream trying to help, you know, get me and I still didn't listen and I let go. So see, wait like wait, wait, so wait, wait, okay. So how I'll do the bar store deals work. So they give you 100K year to do your podcast. Yes. And you wasn't doing your podcast.

It was really hard because everyone else there had editors. Everyone else there had interns, had social clips. It's hard for me to record the podcast, get the guests. Actually do the interview work. This is really a one-man team. I got the name of Barstool, but nobody is helping me with any of this shit. They're not even helping me get guests. Yeah.

I'm doing everything ground up, 10-toseau. down and I was appreciative of it because they were giving me a check and a platform. So I wasn't even tripping. I wasn't even bugging them for help, but it was really hard trying to do everything on my own. And we know also too personal life comes in the middle of that shit. There's so much you're dealing with at once and before you know it, yeah, four weeks have gone by and you haven't dropped anything.

You know what I'm saying? Like it was, it was just hard because I was relying on other people. And instead of it being me just having that in-house editor, that in-house intern, that in-house, you know, so without that, that, that, you know, so without that, help it was pretty hard I'm not gonna lie it wasn't just super easy you know wait okay so I started a podcast what was like your job at job at like Barstool so my actual talent is my actual title is talent content creator so it's like it's not even you can a lot of people there's kinds of creators and Barstall don't even have a podcast you know so what I do is I write up

articles I go places I do viral videos and then also the podcast too because the podcast is is a way to monetize right you know so um that was my job just creating content wherever it was at whichever city or wherever i wanted to go and like they gave you like the option of yo you can still work and fuck with us but we just can't pay you so i actually tried to talk to him about that i tried to talk to erika i tried to be like how about you give me a chance and we do six weeks or two months with no pay and i'm just coming up here grinding grinding grinding and showing you you know and getting getting it better and getting it lit. And then at that point, two months later, we can have a conversation now about another conversation about where it can continue to grow, you know.

So I asked her about that and she was just like, you know, she kind of didn't, I don't know, I don't know if she's telling the truth, but she was like, oh, I'll see or I'll ask about that, but I don't think she really did. And that just was not able to happen. But let me tell you how, how much I did still fight. Dave was in Louisiana, right? At a game, they have a casino in Louisiana. So I flew down to Houston and drove two hours away or three hours away to Louisiana to talk to him in person. Did not tell him I was coming. So just popped up on him and I text. Like I got to the live stream like five minutes after he left.

So then I text him. I was like, I'm here at the thing. Like can we talk for a little bit? So he went to the fireplace to have a conversation, which was our, I think that was our final one. I don't think we've talked since. We had that final conversation. So the conversation was just, you know, I was just trying to kind of see where he was coming from with it

or what he thought or what, how could we still make this work? It was like kind of my little final trying to try in, you know, because I did want to, I did care about the job, you know. It wasn't like I just didn't. Like, it was like, oh, now I can kind of like unemployment, fuck this. You know, I still cared about it. So I went there to just see what we can do to come in the middle where I can still have my job. And, you know, I don't think that he agreed with letting me go.

And that's why he wasn't in the exit meeting. Yeah. So I think that he wasn't really agreeing with it. But what I really think happened is that his right-hand man and his CEO is saying, hey, we're going to have to let go of one of your personal favorites. I'm going to have to let go with Tico. He's like, hey, what do you mean? And they're like, look, she didn't come out with this.

And da-da-da-da-da-da. So it made it harder for him to fight for me. Oh. You know what I'm saying? And he told you that like, bro. Yeah. He's like, basically, he's like, yeah. He's like, I couldn't really fight for you when you're not coming out with content.

You're not even dropping the articles. Your blogs are big. I'm a really good writer. He's like, your blogs are amazing here. They get really like, why aren't you blogging more? Where is everything going at? And, you know, I try to bring up the intern thing to him too. He was just like, I think that's going backwards.

Like, you know, to that. And then at the end of it, he's like, I'll always have love for you. You'll always be a friend of mine. If you want me to support something from you, I still will. If you need something from me, you can still reach out. to me but I think that you're gonna be a star regardless of being at barstool he's like Tico you're a star before you came to Barstool you'll be a star after Barstool like it's it's it's doesn't I think that you'll be okay and that's why hey man that's like the coldest way

with it's here right here right because like right because because they're really okay so like it if you truly truly like believe that then he will say yo okay you know just you know you know you know you know you know you know do this or try to get you feel me right but But I can understand it, right? Right? Because, bro, like, bro, listen, bro. Like, we all love Dave because Dave is somebody who has always stood, like, he stood up for, like, for the creators, right?

Yeah. You feel me? Right? Like, and he has, like, he's been one of the, like, the rare dudes who sort of like, they understand the plight of a content creator, right? Like, he's always been on the side of the creative. Yeah. So, so, like, I can understand.

like him like him want to root for you yeah they're like bro like yes i understand she's she's an x factor yeah yeah i know what she could do and be one day exactly but if the you know like if the number nerds and it right like and right like and the dweaves are saying what were her me on it is that okay like you know i know i was traveling a lot i was doing a lot of things or whatever but it was like dave that's how you met me like i'm not really like an off I'm not really like a girl that sits in the office. That's not where my strong point, and that's not where my talent is.

You know who you hired when you hired her. And I did think that the Astros thing was going to save me because like I told you, they had never had numbers like that on the baseball stream. Even right now, you know, with the Astros and the AOCS, everyone's tweeting like, where's Tico? I retweeted the old video. It got crazy engagement.

Of course. I did major, like that was major and that was like a big moment and for them to let me go, you know, less than a year later. After that, I didn't even get to capitalize this moment again you know what I'm saying like them this could have been more kind of this could have been keep going on I just felt like if I was really such an X factor X factor means that you can't predict it that's what X factor means expect it means unproductive success or you know you just except you just never know you put it in a

situation she'll shine like a motherfucker you know so I just feel like that's something that you let go something that you keep on because she will she's going to continue to do the things that she does and she shines in which is that live stream moments you know what I'm saying like no no There has been this narrative out there from from from you know like the fans now Davis married right David is separated all right and that's a 22 year old girl a 23 year old girlfriend right right right well there has been things put put out there folks wondering was Dave and Tico ever a thing was Dave and Tico ever a thing yeah like you know

one you know like one dark night off the dark liquor oh okay they gave you the side eye Oh shit. You know, she's looking, you know, a little bit delightful on this. Oh, shit. Happy evening right now off the dark liquor. Now, I know it's probably not a thing, but because we're doing an interview, the fans probably going to want to know. How do you know it was anything?

No, like the, no, I'm saying. You assume. You're assume. Yeah, right. And you're right. Me and Dave never had any sexual situation. We never had anything physical. Never kissed.

He's never grabbed my ass. He's never disrespecting me in that tone. I really felt like he looked at me as one of the guys, one of the homies, and that's how he treated me, you know, whether or not, maybe, maybe like, he could, he probably could have been attracted to me. I mean, you can't blame him. Well, of course. It just said it's sex appeal.

So it might have been attraction, but he never acted on that and I never tried to even do that because I had him without having to fuck him. So why should I fuck him? Like, what? That makes, that's working backwards. That's too much effort. I already got the job without having to do nothing. So why should I- Well, listen.

Well, look. Why should I do anything? Well, look, and here's how the chicks, you know, in Hollywood, sorry, the, the, you know, like the white chicks, right? And here's how they do. They get the job and on their own mayor probably. And they fuck their way up to the top, right? Meaning, right? Listen, like, you probably have $100,000 a job, right?

But you start fucking. You get the editors, the interns now, now, hey, they turn that podcast to a Pirate House podcast now. Now you fucking went to the top, get back your IP, go to Spotify. Again, a hundred-minute-dollar contract, man. I almost wish I had fucked him because maybe then he wouldn't have been so quick to let me go. Maybe it'd be like I'm scared that I'll come out, you know what I'm saying? Maybe because I was pretty clean with it. And even still, I mean, it's been months since I got to let go from Barstall.

This is my first time ever even talking about it. You know what I'm saying? I haven't even spoke on it, even on my own YouTube channel about it. because I feel like it's, it's just, it's kind of tricky. It's a tricky situation because I don't want to, I don't want to offend Dave, but since I'm like, I want to speak my truth, you know, so it's hard to do both. Was there ever an opportunity to, to, fuck Dave? We never really got in a situation where, like, like, even when he came to the,

the mansion in Austin, he met me in 2016, we were doing so much, we're moving around, there's never a time that I'm like in a room with Dave. alone like you're in bed like just that the opportunity never presented so was there mutual attraction there um I feel like I think Dave is hot I think Dave is cool I think you know I've never like he's he's hot I think he's hot I think he's hot but like the same time I's like but at the same time I wouldn't I wouldn't try to fuck him you know I've never fucked the white guy before you know I've never fought a baseball fan um you know there's just not been one that I think there's been mutual

attraction on. What is that guy from? Nah, I'm more like a Chad Michael Murray. Like maybe Chad Hanks. What's that? What's his name? Oh, Chad Hanks? Yeah, he's kind of hot.

Who? The punk, pun. They make that boy drive it up. Hot taxi, pooh, all right. The rude boy, bad, my Jamaican on him. Yeah, I like his bad choice. Yeah, he's kind of cute, you know, so, like, I don't, I like the white guys that are kind of like, little rough around the edges and stuff like that, you know.

Wait, so have you ever had a relationship with, with, with anybody at bar still so me and Tommy smokes we had like a um kind of PR relationship where people thought we were together but like we really weren't you know wait so so so thomas is a white guy he's a white guy so wait so like y'all had a PR relationship like how like kind of like yeah like people shipped us like because Tommy was one of my close friends that's why I was originally do the podcast with Tommy smokes he's a very popular guy no i'm picked another one yeah yeah you know what i'm saying so Tommy has been Tommy was in my trailer for my audition for the thing so he's been supporting me since the jump so people just put us

together and then Tommy was going around asking people in the office like if they would kiss him and i guess like like he asked two other girls they said no and then he asked me and then i said yeah so then we kissed on camera for his only fans and uh wait wait wait pause let me let me see like who this guy is you want to you want to see the kiss which no no no no no just him so stuff like that man you have an only fans but like you can't get a girl to kiss you i'm confused i mean he's not that like well he's taught right because like an only fan's like meaning like you should be you know like oh and this guy has a has a only fan well he just did it just for the video oh yeah like he did it just for the video so we can make money off the video

so like he's okay so like he's not slinking dick you know in the only fans he's no no no no no Wait, so like, so... I don't know if he, like, has sex, probably, but I don't know. That... Wait, what to mean you don't know if he has sex? I don't know. He just seems like a kind of, like, asexual, like, cool, like, just nerdy, like... So he...

Wait, so, like, he's religious like me? Probably. You see, man. Hey, you feel me? Hey, listen, man. So we had, like, a kind of fake little relationship going on, but we did have a real friendship, but it was not like, we weren't actually, like, fucking... No, so...

But there was a crush. did i have a barstall crush for sure you had a crush on him no i had another crush on a guy name nick terini let me show you that guy and he sounds he sounds italian he sounds like an italian dude who was like the coolest guy at barstall even still to this to this day he still watches my story he still he loves me and he was like he like i called him peter griffin like he was like a skinny peter griffin because he's so fucking funny you know and i just felt like once you like if you if you can just make me laugh i'm not even seeing color anymore i just think you're just so funny and like loki maybe like i'd let you hit like you know what i'm saying so he's like my little crush that

i never acted on i never like text him trying to flirt him with him or something like that but he was like my little crush hold up word crush he's the whitest white boy ever he i mean that you know they white boys like bro like that's like right like he's like the blueprint for like white boys he's like the white as like white boy ever. I mean, he was, Peter Griffin is not completely white to me. Like, I feel like Peter Griffin is like that funny. Like he's kind of like that funny. It's not like, it's like a spicy white.

You know what I'm saying? Because he's like, he's like funny white and like likes black people white. You know what I'm saying? So it's like it's not really like white, white. Like he likes culture. He likes hip hop. I'm sure. Like he was one of those.

So he's like, we could just be cool. If we could be cool, I could see us possibly dating. And I like to do friendships, like relationships sometimes. me hey man the the truth's want to know man do Tico got a BBL a BBL yes do I have one that's that's yeah right let's I think my ass I think my ass will be a little fatter if I had a BBO it's not I mean it's it's okay so yeah well well you don't have to like show the camera man feel me is it shape does it BBL shake like I I'm not looking you feel me I don't I don't have

Pause. You two are cool. They get money and they're in the house all day doing their content. They don't cheat. Hey, come on now. Nah, but YouTubers don't cheat, man. Damn. I do want to say, though, like I want to say that, um, Dave, I have

nothing against you. Thank you so much for the opportunity. You know, I know that you took a big risk and you put your hand out with even getting me onto the platform. And I know that you had your reservation just because you know that you knew already, you knew your company, you know, and you knew that it was going to be hard for me. And I feel like you didn't want me to go through that. But I still appreciate you giving me a chance. And even though I wasn't able to become that Barstful star that we wanted me to become, I mean, you know, I still had a lot of fun. I made a lot of memories. I connected with a lot of people. So it's still love all the way on this side, 100%. You know, we're still family, you know. But I did have to fight a lot in that company

and I didn't get the proper help that I deserved, you know, but it's okay. Sometimes it's just like that, you know, and you just move on to the next thing. So no bad blood, no bad blood. Shout out to all my gang up there. Shout out to chicken fry. Shout out to Kelly. Shout out to fucking Tommy. Shout out to Nick. Shout out to K.B. Shout out to Ebony. Shout out to BWalk, shout out to Stuman, shout out to Hank, shout out to my people that just try.

That's a gang, bro. God damn. Shout out to people that did try and they did. You know what I'm saying? Try to put me in position a little bit. Thank you y'all so much. Like, I really appreciate it.

And the friendships that were formed, I'll remember them forever. So regardless of the bullshit, I did have a great time there. Great two years. That's a gang, right? Shout out to BWWWT, T-Rock, T-C. You feel me, C, dot.

You feel me, B-D, E-D. God damn. J-D-D-Z-Dar. You feel me? Shout out to Alex Bennett, too. I saw that you got laid off. You know, I'm sorry about that. Sorry that happened to you.

Damn. 200 people got laid off. Too much. Making about 100K each? I don't know how much they was making these people. But I know that we only had 400 people. Wait, wait. We only had 400 employees.

And half of the staff got laid off. So basically Dave sold the company for $800 million or some shit like that. And he bought it back very cheap. I be through stock and shit like that, got the company back, and then he just cleaned house and just laid off everybody. Wait, all right. So now I'm like, so what's next? Because apparently dating YouTubers is beneath you.

I wouldn't even say, no, I'm not going to say. So what's next for Tika? I'm not saying, like, shout out to the YouTubers. Like I, you know, I actually applaud you. I wish I could, you know what I'm saying? Maybe I should date one, so I can figure out how I get my YouTube popping. That ain't even probably a bad idea. Hey, come on now.

Shout out to everybody getting their bread. I love to collaborate. But what's next for me is right now, I'm looking into, like, radio hosting gigs. I'm still doing my music. I just shot a music video yesterday to my song, Fuck With You. You can find my music on Apple Music or Spotify or anything,

streaming services. What's next is just taking the power back into my own hand. I think this is great that I do, that I am leaving or left Barstall because it gets me to focus completely on me. When I was at Barstall, I was only focused on Barstall. It was eating my mind. I couldn't really think about more.

much else because that's what was paying the bills. You know, so I now have the space, just like Dave said, to become the star that I really am, you know, because I don't know if it was a Barstow star. So right now I'm just doing my music. I'm working on radio gigs. We coming out with vlogs. Check out Tico, Texas TV on YouTube.

We're coming out with shit. We just keep, we keepin the ball rolling. You know, I'm up here in no jumper. Y'all see me on the news probably, you know? I mean, my people, I've met a lot of good people. Some through Barstow, some already had connections with, but I've met a lot of good people that I feel like I'm always going to be on my feet. And the bar still give you a severance package?

So no. And that was like, so I was upset with that. And that's when, you know, when the New York Post did hit me up and wanted to have a conversation with me and pay me about my story at barstall. You know, a little bit of me like, I almost wanted to take it because I was like, damn, they didn't even give me no severance. Just dropped me off in the ocean and didn't really care. Gave me no severance package. just gave me nothing just kick me out the dough you know what I'm saying but she's I got money for a long time from there you know I got I got I got a good check every month

you know what I'm saying so but while a pain ran in New York oh my gosh 3K off a hundred care yeah like which is hard largely tax because you know I didn't New York I was stupid I didn't do Texas I did New York so that was largely taxed right right here actually look like the check is good yeah even like me like for Like I don't think that I personally can survive in LA. Yeah. Pay rent yeah. Yeah. With with tax. Right like right so right so yes the paper was good yeah but that don't really like it's not okay it wasn't you know right like it's not okay. It's not okay. It's not okay and I did ask about it

yeah and got ignored and that really pissed me off but when I really when I really because you know they tried to set up the date they tried to do it I was like you know I was like you know I was like you know what i'm just canceling it all out because i was like you know what i don't need to i don't feel no way like they're trying to they're gonna try to paint dave as a racist right because he he fired the first black girl within uh you you know didn't give her a chance so i just don't want them to run with a narrative that ain't my narrative i want to be able to speak my truth i don't want to edit it you know little version of whatever the fuck i'm saying so i just wanted to be able to speak my truth so that's why i ended up turning it down no i don't think dave is a racist i think

Dave is just harsh on everybody equally, right? Dave's not racist, you know? I think, I don't know about his friends. I don't know about his circle. I don't know much about that, but I can personally, I know that Dave's not racist, you know what I'm saying? I told you already the relationship that Jewish and black people have. Oh, yeah.

And we, and we, we like disagree strongly on the black and, you know, and the, and their relationship, for me? But, hey, listen, man, this was, this was a great interview. We had, uh, like, we had cameos from Lolo Bunny. Shout out to Lola. Will I come over here? Well, hold up, though. That's what my cousin's name, but she got arrested.

She got arrested. Yes. Remember the girl? What you about? Cool of Pilema? Yeah, from a Kula, like, got, so, okay. So she got arrested because she did some terrible things to her kids. and yeah she got arrested for murder oh wow cooler yeah coola yes yes yes

It's been a dream of mind since middle school and I just made it happen. The minute I turned 18 and I do it way I left. Yo, Finn, listen, guys, listen, only girls can do this, right? Like, Move to a new city? No. At 18 years old, say, I'm going to pack up and move to the most expensive city in, like, in the world. Like, only girls can do that, bro.

It wasn't easy. Man. Only girls can go after their dreams? Damn. It's hard being a guy. Y'all can't even go after y'all dreams. There's no 18-year-old guy who's turning 18 barely got a skill set to where they can earn a decent living, right? You save up.

She didn't, she didn't go and stay a safe. some nigger house you got a girl you know what I'm saying like so because I feel like that's what you're saying like we can live off of men but that's not even a situation you know what I'm saying we come out here with all our savings we save up we come here with all she was 18 right listen listen I'm sure she had her her her her miss stop her I know you had your own place but like be real bro like like who was paying the bills I had a roommate at first but we You're split in it. I started dancing right when I came out here.

I'm 18. Fresh. Like, you know I'm making red in the strip club. Exactly. See, again, that's why I say, right? It's only girls can do that, right? Because, listen, because a guy who's 18 years old don't even have the means to leave his city

to come to most, especially city in a world. And within, wait, so dance is what? So you were doing what? I don't want to assume. You were dancing or you were striped? stripping, exotic dance. Listen, I try not to assume, right? Feel me, right?

Because, you know, there's hip hop dancing, break dance, and belly dancing. You feel me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I try not to assume, right? You feel me, right? Why? Because I can't fight and I ain't trying to get, you know,

you feel me? So long, right? You feel me? Feel me? Wait, so while, so while dancing, you were making, and how much a month? Um, honestly, like almost 4K. Okay, that's decent.

Yeah. Like in the beginning it was really good because I think I was so young. That comes to a lot of stress. Yeah. That comes to a lot of stress. There's a lot of weird. It's not a lot of it's not a lot of sexual harassment. It's not.

It's not a lot of sexual harassment. That's why I never could do it. It's ridiculous, bro. You got to deal with that industry. You got to deal with weird. People try to rape you. People trying to drug you. Yeah.

All that. follow you stock you know what i've got where you live you know i'm saying i don't follow at home in some yeah it's a tricky situation that's that's crazy wait so you're so dancing uh no i stopped like probably four months ago because why it just got too intense for me like um i had finished like my last little rumble with those bitches because they hated on me so bad because i made the most money in there and i was natural so it made them mad you are natural i am natural lips natural too no not the Hey, see, hey, hey, man, feel who, what's it? The body, the body.

You feel me? Hey, feel me? You got to clock me. No, no, no, no, no. Look good, though, for me? Wait, all, so like, you stop? Okay, so, like, so, like, so where was you at, at your peak?

10K a month, 15, 20K? It was always around, like, four or five. Like, sometimes, one month would be really good, because there was, like, new years or something, you get, like, hella. Wait, wait, wait, well, with a much amount of money that they be made wait wait wait wait wait wait wait are you telling me right that for four or five K a month that I can go and tell a

chick hey listen don't strip just be my personal stripper for a 5k a month like you come to my house once a day and you strip like while like I'm on stream for 5k a month like right like here it's not It's not guaranteed to be five every month. So, someone so it will be one. Like, you don't know, like... One thousand? It could happen.

It happened. Where in L.A. Yeah, bro. My stripper friends have gone to work and made no money. They've actually been in the negative because there's like a house fee or some shit like that you have to pay. So when you get there. So it's like a house fee that you have to go to when you get there. So regardless of you even making money, you already $50 in the hole.

You know what I'm saying? So it's like you... It's a lot of the times my friends would be like, I ain't make no money or I made money or I didn't. It's very up and down with that shit. Yeah. 4k a month then wait okay so they're like how'd you pay your rent your bills with the money what you mean no now like what no sorry like uh like uh like uh if four months ago yeah since then what have you no head right so look so if you were making like with

uh 5k right right in LA is like what it's like 3 to 5 5k right right right and LA is like 3 to 5 right right and you got like what a thousand plus leftover for your car bill light bill food utilities shopping spree for me yeah right yeah come now right like okay it's doable though

let's be real let's not like most of most of most of America is kind of you know that's how we live in we we got enough money to get what we gotta do and then we try to get some more that's what's going on you know what I'm saying it's expensive as fuck If you can find the right bitch because I didn't have to beat up a roommate and all that shit, right?

You got to find the right one. Hey. Got to find the right one. Hey, guys, listen, guys. Listen, free game for y'all now, right? Like, again, a high value stripper is making 5K a month. Fellas. Yo, go find you one.

You feel? What? I feel like that's, wait, that's what already rappers do. But let's be real. But rappers do when they have girls come and dance for them, but they get in 5K in that day. Bitches love being independent. What you mean?

The rappers are throwing 10K, 20K down on bitches. So they get in 5K in one day. And then you know, you know how rappers are. You know how y'all niggas are. Y'all don't like consistency. Y'all like new pussy, new bitches. So then y'all, okay, that 5K next bitch. So it's like, that monthly thing sound good,

but niggas ain't consistent enough for that shit. Yeah, that's true, right? You feel me right? Because after, like, the first month or two, like, I don't seem the same thing you film shake ass like you know after the first day right y'all be ready for a new bitch unless it's the right man wait I so like only fans right right listen listen I'm not the right man right listen right listen right because me pretty much is like yeah yeah girl he's trolling no no no no yeah no wait wait it's a troll no no no right we don't believe when we see it have you seen it yes yes matter's girl what's his name Him no right but look right no one has met her here right well Exactly no right so look exactly yeah no right but that's your girl you work here come on yeah well no well no

And that's when we, like, you know, like, right? like we probably shouldn't even like extend ourselves right why because now the trolls is going to be you know you feel me right like you feel me calling her a job you how long you i've been dating since our sophomore year of college so this was been like four or five years now okay you're gonna marry here sometimes oh put a ring on it i'm married are you listen right so listen so part to making money

Like, what's the step-by-step plan? Who I'm dating. I'm trying to get married. So, like, you know, someone established, older. I don't know. My mom is trying to get me married. It's Nigerian guy, but I don't really know because he's saying I'm too American for him. Please, bro.

But I'm just, you know, I'm not really even dating right now. I'm trying to, like, just level up in my career. and where I'm at with it is I'm building my team you know what I'm saying I got a little bit of my team members shout out to george it's always behind the camera uh very well okay yeah shout out to george always around the camera shout out to my girl cooler who uh always there for me too it's just it's getting that team together and then that's because you can't do shit without a team you can't do nothing without a team in life like you can try your hardest you can say fuck everybody got that mentality but without if she played with your team she is like the uh

moral support she's the person that's gonna be there for for me, you know what I'm saying? Anything like it's not even like an assist. She knows how to get the money out the niggas. She ain't worried about it. The thing about it is that, listen, we're talking. We ain't worried about getting these money out of these. We worry about getting the money out of ourselves.

I'm not people of it, but I'm not that type of girl. Of course, yes. No, no, no, no. You can't have those type of girls too close in your circle. You can be cool with them, but they can't really be in the circle. Because the thing about is a bitch that's thirsty enough to try to get a a nigga for everything he got. She's gonna get you too.

You can't leave your weed around the hoe. You can't leave a couple of dollars around that hoe. You can't leave your man around that hole. You know what I'm saying? No, that's the thing. I got to trust you if you're going to be on my team. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, right?

So like, and I'm referring to this, right? Like, you have a meeting, let's say Dave, right? Or like some, you know, or something like higher up for like, y'all. We need them to invest a $100k in the Tico, 10, right? From company, right? Yeah. You bring her. Yeah.

and have her will and deal and like extract every dime. You feel me from all this folks? No, what it would be great is that she'll sit there look cute and then I got the mouthpiece so that I just will finesse it and then she'll sit there like cute, she'll shake some ass and then have them have a brain a little fuck up. Bring her to take some ass. And then I, you feel me?

You feel me? You know, how they brain a little fucked up and then we negotiate the best deal. Yeah, definitely sex appeal. You don't even need to speak with sex appeal. You're just going to have everybody in the room uncomfortable just off that. You know what I was saying? Yeah, that's true. everybody in the room tripping so that's what's perfect about her you know i'm saying i'm you know

like i have her here on this couch because i'm all about giving my people some shine like i told you i want to do shit with my family and obviously i trust this girl i don't think she's just some clout chaser or some weird chair or else i would never even have her up here you know i'm saying but she's not doing so like that's kind of yeah you know and she's a cool girl she's a good girl you know loyal real and that's all that i want around me so that's really what i'm doing i'm building a team of my people you know i'm saying shot to everybody that's helping me out with you this shit right now from everybody really just getting to going even shout out to no jumper for letting me come on the platform shout out to adam for having me shout out to josh for doing it
