Starting point is 00:13:26 I know when you with this big, you got this big, you got that big on me. I'd be like, what? Okay, okay for sure, man. Yeah, music in the family, man, Kenny Lattimore. My dad, my uncles, they were originally an R&B group, Jersey Ave, and the Lattimore brothers went to gospel, you know what I mean, and just did their thing, man.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I think the music industry was, was definitely tough for them coming into the game. So when I was young, I used to see limousines pulling up in front of the house in the hood, in Milwaukee. You know what I'm saying? It's like pictures of me in the backseat with them. And, you know, they're going to L.A. and coming back and just like, it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Randy Jackson had signed them. I think that was like. You're talking about Randy to Randy? Randy Jackson. No, no. Andy Jackson from American Idol. American Idol. Oh, nigga.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I'm trivia. I'm trivia. You're talking about what up, dog. Yeah, what up? First of all, I don't think Randy was dancing like that. I'm like, I was like, I'm like, Randy. I'm like, no, no, who is it? That's Mike.
Starting point is 00:14:30 And it wasn't until I went to like the kids' choice awards with my pops. I was like 14. And Randy, yeah, Randy seen my pops and just like, he lost. He was like, yo, how the brother's doing? And I was like, oh, pops really know Randy. So break down to Randy Jackson? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:48 He's a big, he was a music producer, he played instruments, yeah, he's cold. Yeah, so, he ain't just, we know him from the idol shit, but he's put that work in. Yeah, okay, man. And then, like, if you can actually look up, the Jersey Ave, my pops and my uncles, they had an R&B album. That was when they were signed to him, and they put out an album, man, it was dope. It's just, you know, you go through the label stuff, you get discouraged. The music industry has always been tough, you know what I mean? So then I came up, and I was saw them doing their things.
Starting point is 00:15:15 I used to get on stage, and they used to pull me off, like. Come on, Lilj, you can't. You can't do that. Then after a while, my uncle was like, man, let him get up there. Let him get up there. Let me get up there. Let the young brother say.
Starting point is 00:15:26 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They're not a more, boy. Yeah. And they just started kind of molding me and seeing something in me. So I just, by the time I got nine years old, my pops put me in the studio.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And he was, you know, writing all the songs for me. My first song is called Best Friend. You were my best friend. Thought you'd always be my best friend. Be my best. And I sing just to all the girls at recess. Go crazy. I had my t-shirt on.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I was ready. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, lady, yeah, you know, I do my own music. At nine? At nine. A little child-star, boy. Bow, wow, I couldn't touch this, nigger. We gotta go back a second.
Starting point is 00:16:03 You said he was running out there on stage. So you were just running out there. I was just performing. You was just trying to, just get out there. Because you was already singing, I'm sure, offstage and shit. So you was just going out there trying to see. And now, I would cry if they take me on.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I would cry. They'd be like, yeah. They'd be like, yo. So you went, so with your uncle and your pops up there, handling their business, and you just like, fuck that. You imagine being on stage. You were like, are there any ladies in the house? What?
Starting point is 00:16:26 Damn son. You got his own mic. So what would you do? He was just, but you do the routine. I just go up there and just dance. I just wanted to get the mic, I just wanted to just be on stage. Ain't have security? Nah.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Why are you going to stop the son? He probably like, take your hands off me. I'm a lot of more. I swear. I swear. You see that more? You see that more? Probably a clip.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Jacob is 10. But the buzz is that he's going to be the next usher. It's because the boys think he's cool. The girls think he's dreamy. And we think he's going to be a huge star watch. What's up? This is your boy, Jacob Lattimore. I'm 10 years old and I'm an unbeat artist.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I have become so famous, especially at school. Hey! Yes, yo, like that, that energy was like what I was trying to get off, you know what I'm saying? And then they just started letting me... I love, you was on Moore? Yeah, I was on Moore when I was kids. Was it your baby? No.
Starting point is 00:17:27 No. Oh. You're the baby? No, I'm like... It comes to eight-month-old Jacob Vladimir. No, there's, uh... Basically, Moore used to bring young... young kids to perform and, like, just, they just do covers.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I had my own original song, though. So I came on there from Milwaukee. You know what I'm saying? Stunt. Stano more, right. I had my dances with me. You know what I'm saying? And we were just hungry.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Now we've got to find that clip and drop it in here, man. Somebody find that clip. Yeah, we got to get it. We're about to find the clip and put it in the episode. Find the clip that. Crazy. Find the clip that. in Rococo Punch, this is the turning, River Road.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man? And in thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt.
Starting point is 00:18:51 For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

Starting point is 00:22:36 iconic. Listen to Vine on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. So that's how it all started. Yeah, man. Because, you know, we go way back from performing, grinding into skating, skate town day. Like, you were a... Talk about that, man. Because he's a child star. See, niggas flex. Like, it ain't too many child stars. I was growing up. When your name would come about, it was like, oh shit. We didn't have had our... my name, attached to your name on fly. I knew, I said, told my partner, we made it.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Even all my partner from the hood, like, we're on the motherfucking fly with Jacob's Adam. That's hard. That shit was super hard. No, that's crazy. Coming from being like a child's start, how did you mold your way, like, even just still being a kid
Starting point is 00:23:23 and having a start? Man, really just being around y'all, bro, for real. Like, that was my social. You know, like, when I moved to Atlanta, I was home school. You know, so I wasn't going to school every day. You know what I mean? and then I wanted to go to the skating rink on weekends,
Starting point is 00:23:38 cascades, you feel me? I wanted to go get dances on girls and skate and whatever. So it was like I had to, I know that I just had to have that social kind of, I didn't want to be weird. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to be, like, anti-social, you feel me? So I think it was managing like, okay, where I met in my life and where I see myself going,
Starting point is 00:23:59 but also still maintaining that friendships. And also, coming to Atlanta was I saw a community, of other people, other young guys striving for something. Right, right. You know what I'm saying? To be a part of that community was like, was huge, Iquish, and then like just, this community are just rappers, singers, actors,
Starting point is 00:24:21 you know, made me want to get into acting even more because I wouldn't think about it at first. You know what I'm saying? I was like, nah, I'm gonna do this music first, you know, and do that, and then it just, I just got inspired, bro. Like, I just got inspired by entertainment overall. Right, right. and place you in the box.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Yeah, yeah. So when did that? So you said, like, you just inspired you to do acting. When did you know, you were like, you know what I got to take acting series? Because being an artist, trying to act, do all other at the same time. Because now you're big, you're gonna shoot a shot for eight months. You're right. Ain't no way ahead you could be a music star, but you can.
Starting point is 00:24:52 You can. But you're trying to capitalize and make sure that you prioritize correctly, but master the craft at the same time. Yeah, I think it's also just like knowing my, knowing my music audience as an independent artist, right? So it's like, I think where I'm at with music, it's not really. really about selling a million copies. All right, so if I got this many fans,
Starting point is 00:25:11 how can I capitalize on that? You know what I mean? And I think that's just how I'm thinking right now. Like, everything financially got to make sense for me on the music end. And if I'm gonna do it, it's gotta make sense. You know, because I spent a lot of money. Spent a lot of money, dog, like music videos
Starting point is 00:25:27 and going on tour. You know what I mean? You hear me just screaming fans and a couple t-shirts sold. You're like, aye. And then you're like, I gotta get this film bag. You know what I'm saying? So it's a balance, man. So I think it's a cool place I'm in where I could drop a visual.
Starting point is 00:25:44 I just dropped a song called Selfish like six months ago. And I just was able to put some creative thought into it, put out a song that's dope with a dope visual, and just get back to the acting shit. It ain't really like, I'm trying to do anything. It's like if you see it, you see it, you know what I'm saying? I'm just doing my thing and kind of falling in love with the process again. You know what I mean? I think that's like, that's the best feeling.
Starting point is 00:26:06 You know, where you ain't feel like you got a, you ain't doing that extra money. You're not doing for the money. Yeah, don't feel like work. Yeah, just like, I'm just having fun. I shot this video, check it out. You know what I mean? And I think a lot of, it's, with Emmett and the shot,
Starting point is 00:26:19 it's crazy because a lot of people didn't even know I did music. You know, they're like, look at Emmett dancing. What the hell? You know what I mean. Too-it from somebody who did music before he even did the shot. It's crazy. It's crazy. But you know, that's how the journey go.
Starting point is 00:26:32 People notice you from different things, and then they see you doing what you by the story. started doing, like, oh, wait a minute, yeah. It's a gift, it's a gift. It's a gift, like, I don't even think it's a curse. Like, it's like, it's a true gift because now I get to re-brand myself, you know what I'm saying? Just redefine who I am.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And you constantly got new people discovering. Yep, constantly growing. Now it's like, you know, if you know me from my music or if you know me from my film, it's a win. You know, it's like. At least they know you. You feel me? When I got my business hat on,
Starting point is 00:27:01 I ain't got my sensitive artist hat on, because you know, some people would be like, man, I want people to know me for this. You know what I'm saying? But it's more so like, whatever you know me from is, that's, whatever you do it. You know, as long as it's, it's a win, it's a win, you know what I mean? It's always, it's coming back to me, you feel me, so it's dope. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:18 And, like, if they're going to follow me on Instagram or threads, wherever we own right now, it's like they're going to see that I do other things. So it's like, now I've created my own channel, created my own sort of, you know, I just, I'm in control. It's a good vibe. Yeah, that's dope as hell to be in control, man. Yeah, you know what I'm here both. Like y'all are in control, you know, y'all had to pull up. You know, you know, it's us, it was us.
Starting point is 00:27:43 You know what I mean? You was in the house and we pulled it up. We were like, here, oh, okay, my bad. Come on, man, you feel. So what's the process? Because, you know, you're an actor, you know what I'm saying, you're an artist, you feel me? And the preparation for both of them is different.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Right. Especially when you're attacking the task properly. You know. You know. But it's from hearing it from your colleagues Because it's like, like he said, like he's acting, but I've been knowing Jacob for music and to hear people be like, oh, he did music.
Starting point is 00:28:13 I'm like, this niggas is a hell of a single, nigger like he. He could be up there with the ushers in them, but it's like y'all wanna put us in the box, but I love to him say, I'm not stretching the gold or make a platinum hit, but the people gonna make it platinum. I'm just giving them, I'm entertaining. I just like it.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And when you say the love, the process, fall in love with the process, I think that's why I'm saying it. Because it really come through in the, it comes through the, through the concept. You know what I mean? You can tell when you feel like you're on set or you're on a music video or set,
Starting point is 00:28:40 you're like, you're trying to make a hit, you're trying to, you feel me? That's not a good feeling. You know what I mean? It's not fulfilling at all. You don't walk away, feeling good. You know what I was like? I'd rather walk away feeling like, yeah, I did that.
Starting point is 00:28:51 You know what I'm not. Yeah, yeah. If you catch it, you gonna be like, damn. That motherfucker hard. So what's the process of? Making sure you attack the road. Right. And making sure you go in here and, like you said,
Starting point is 00:29:04 you're not the actor, Jacob. You're now the artist, Jacob. It's a difference. Yeah, what's the switch? I need to know the process. Man, it's, um, I think it's been, it's been tough. It's been tough to kind of balance. I think for, especially depending on the role, like, especially, um, it's just film I did
Starting point is 00:29:22 called Car Gully, that's on a prime. And it was one of the roles that just took, took everything about it. You feel me? Like, it took, I had to isolate, you know, I had to be by myself. Like, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, it was a very, It was just wasn't me at all. You know, with the shot, I can kind of put me into it. You know what I mean, go on and be myself a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:43 So it was challenging a little bit. Yeah, but this one was like super method, you know what I mean? Like just tweaking out. My homing was like, bro, I can't wait to this movie over, you act, you act different, you know what I'm saying? So I think Dancin Idris was just talking about that, talking about how he had to get out of it. Yeah, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:59 And that's real, I relate to that. You know what I mean? And that's why I was like, man, I don't want to do too many crazy roles in my career. I definitely want to give them, give them that, but not too much because it really, it takes up your personal life. When you accepted it, was you like,
Starting point is 00:30:13 alright, this is a role I want to see, can I do? Yeah. And then when you got into it, you was like, ooh shit, no doubt. So you took it like as a challenge and then realized how much that shit took out you? Yeah, yeah, I'm like, okay, this is, because I didn't think about it beforehand,
Starting point is 00:30:29 you know, because I had never done it before. So when you get into it and the movie over, you start feeling that, that same, energy on you, you feel more aggressive, like you're talking a little different. You're like, hold up, no, I'm like, this ain't even, this ain't even me. You've ever got a cared grandpa,
Starting point is 00:30:44 when you ever put the blessed up on you. Right, you know. Like, oh man, so it's, um, it consumes you. I think the shift, the shift been hard, it's been tough because I've turned down touring opportunities because it's like I'm wearing, at age 26, I'm wearing like a business hat, and I'm wearing like the art Artistry hat and the passionate hat, like you die for the art type of hat, right?
Starting point is 00:31:12 But then it's like, man, I'm a man, I got to pay bills. You know, I got I got homes, I got properties, you know, these things can't pay for themselves. You feel me? So it's a, it becomes a thing of like, I'm grown. I got to do it makes sense, you know what I mean? Grown man bills. Yeah, I got to set my priority straight and also still make room for the things I love to do, which is music. You know, so I try to give my fans as much as I can,
Starting point is 00:31:40 but I've also just been in a different bag, man. You know what I mean? Because I got so much, you know what I mean? I got so much content out there. I put out three albums called Connection, Connection 1, 2, and 3. And the third album, I re-released Connection 1 and 2 with the third, just to reintroduce the last two. People thought I dropped 40 new songs.
Starting point is 00:32:02 But I'm like, nah, we just manipulated the streams And now everything, you feel me? So there, and there are people like, oh, I didn't even know you do music. And then I drop visuals with everything. It's like, it's a, it's a vibe, you know what, and then, my bet. That's my, that's the real estate dude calling right there.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Yeah, you know what I'm trying to do about. You know what? Yeah, man. Speaking of which bills are called. Yeah, man, so it's, um, it's a, it's been a cool journey, but I'm still on in the beginning. I think, once I really get in this film back,
Starting point is 00:32:32 I can do whatever I want, right? You know what I mean? Lastly, speaking to the band, because you're in your bag. Like, and you, I'm inspired. Because when you in your bag, you want to them dudes that can't knock you off your pivot. You understand?
Starting point is 00:32:49 And for those who know they know, and for those who seem, they seem. How do you keep your composure when they, I see them try to attack you and try to make you jump out of character? You did not move. Now, time, my wife. Peace be still.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Peace be still. Stay right there. And to continue subscribing, how did you continue to make sure I'm not gonna get distracted? Man, you know, it's just, you gotta do what you gotta do, turn that phone off, lock in. Actually, I did start therapy this year. I did start therapy this year.
Starting point is 00:33:25 It was good for me. I think it was a lot I had to unpack. I think stuff I didn't even know, you know. And then it was cool to just kind of learn yourself. I think, you know, we so outside and entertaining people. You're like, we really got to have them talk with yourself and really talk to a stranger sometimes. I think that's been cool for me.
Starting point is 00:33:45 And it's just, I got a praying family, man. I got a praying family, super spiritual. And I've learned not to ignore my gut. You know what I mean? When you know it, you know it. You know it. You know it. You know it.
Starting point is 00:33:58 You know it. You know it. You know it. You know it. So it's like, what's going to happen? it's gonna happen, who's gonna be there, gonna be there. And if they left, they left. You know what I'm gonna go to therapy too.
Starting point is 00:34:10 It's a good vibe. I ain't going no therapy. No, I'm gonna wait till I'm finished doing what I'm doing. I wouldn't say it's for everybody, but it's like, I ain't finished being crazy yet. I got some more shit to do. I got some more shit to do in this state of mind. Then I'm gonna go, I got a few more things.
Starting point is 00:34:26 I got a fit. No, I don't want them, hey, I need to stay fucked up for a little bit longer. Because what I'm trying to do I must be catching contact because I'm still waiting. You're good, I'm good. You're good. I can't talk no therapy.
Starting point is 00:34:38 I end up fucking around and turn to their therapist. You ask me out, you hide. Yeah. Because this is weird that you're, I'm your sixth motherfucker that you talk to today. Bitch, aren't you? You ain't even got to ask nothing that hard. It's just going to be the simplest question.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Did you get today? Did you eat? I can't. I can't. I can't. Everybody is me with me. You need probably. Nobody had never asked me that.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I'm like, you know what? You need to find this bitch. This bitch. She's going through it. What if you go see your therapist and they late? Because they're going to see their therapists? Damn. Do therapists see therapists?
Starting point is 00:35:20 That's not a good thing. I told my therapist some shit. She said, I never heard that before. I hung up. He was on the phone call. It was a Zoom call. I just closed my shit. I said, bitch.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I said, how can she feel of energy I wasn't going in, first of all. Why? So you're trying to therapy, but you're in the house? Yeah, right? What if you got, what if you're in therapy, but you got anxiety? Like, you can do the Zoom call,
Starting point is 00:35:47 you just can't be in the camera. This thing is like, on trial, therapy. But you can't be in that little box saying it. That's right. Hold on, I'm about to take something. You can't do therapy in the house. You can't do therapy out. They can go against it.
Starting point is 00:36:01 You got to touch you. I'm sitting my comfort zone. You got to get out your comfort zone to go talk to somebody. You don't? I mean, I do your own zone too. Why do somebody in the room and they like, I got a couch? What I need to go sit on your couch?
Starting point is 00:36:14 Hey, hey, this nigga suck out. This is going to fuck his head. Like, oh, damn. Like, what? You thought they muted. I heard everything. And this didn't mid-eyed nigg. So you said that you were,
Starting point is 00:36:27 You hear people in the background. The whole shit on something. You'll be crying over his girl. Oh, my bad. No, I'm doing shit. The ones I didn't do, though. Right. Sometimes you'd be like, all right.
Starting point is 00:36:39 That means you know about to people. That don't mean you need to jump to a therapist. You can't talk to people. Did you cry? Oh, it didn't work too. So what's the difference between the therapist and a person? I mean, if you're talking to somebody you know,
Starting point is 00:36:52 what's going to happen is they're going to start telling you that problem. Oh, man, that same shit happened to me. Right. You're going to tell you what happened about me! What did you do? I just went through it. Then shut the fuck up. But you know, when you tell somebody, they already got the idea of the shit you be doing in the head, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:37:11 I mean, I think I lucked up for real because when I tell people that they're like, no, I ain't have a good experience. But I'm having a great experience, you know what I'm saying? You gotta want to be there too. You got to want to be there. You're a nigga who don't like venting and just vending and was like, ooh, that feels so good. You just want to go. You're like, I got, I'm gonna. Maybe I don't.
Starting point is 00:37:33 You know, I was a lot of stuff I didn't bend about. You know, I was like, okay, I'm like, yeah, it's a... And be like, that's even with me and we hold a lot of shit in. Then we have conversation without significant other. But we don't tell her everything. A nigga will tell a therapist. Niggins forget the greed. And then, you get mad at that ex-mail for two weeks.
Starting point is 00:37:49 No, you know, you just cried to your therapy, my nigga. Right. I'm so fucked up. It's gonna take me a couple times just to even get through a session, because I know I'm gonna end up arguing with the fucking therapist. The fuck do you know? You ain't never been to me. I can't do it because I don't like being interrogated.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Like, hold on, Carlos, come down. Oh, let me, hold on shit. Your ass ain't listening. Oh, the crazy part is they don't say nothing. They just look at you. You look at me and you right down, bitch. I'm gonna flip your notebook. Talk to me.
Starting point is 00:38:18 You say after after you say something. Then you pay for that. Then they hit you in this shit. So why do you think that happened? So what do you think that came from? Life, bitch. No. I can't talk, no therapist.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Fuckers one year. I can't do it. I can't do it. I got real part. That why I thank God that he's surrounding me with, like, great genuine people. Like, I knew for a fact in certain people that I can call, I'm like, I'm like, I, right. They're going to be a listen to you. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:49 But they're going to sit there and be like, shit. And they're going to hold you accountable. Yeah, they're going to hold me accountable. They're going to be like, well, shit. They're going to be really sitting there and tell me, like, fly. That's the real. She, you know what time it is, bro. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:59 shit, I ain't the nigger that's gonna kiss your ass. Because who you is and what you're done for me. I'm gonna sit here and tell you like, nigga, shit, I'm here with you through whatever process you think that he's needed, but don't trip. Right, right, right. You know what I'm saying? Like, just don't trip.
Starting point is 00:39:16 You gotta take it day for date. Like, I knew exactly who I need to call. Like, I can't talk to no screaming, man. That shit don't work on me no more. That's why I don't think it's bad. Niggas just telling you shit, keep your head up, nigga, chin up, nigga. Keep going.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Shut the fuck up, man. That's not all the niggins and shit. Listen. I'm going to get mad at me for telling you to keep your chin up. I'm like, well, you need a therapist, bitch. See? See? I told you.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Swear. Can he go do it and get your old pussy ass a hug? No, I'm going. Oh, you think that's the problem. My chin-in-down, nigger. Yes. To put yourself up by your bootstrap. What?
Starting point is 00:39:55 Fucking boot strap. My striped, my boots, don't have no crap. Your mic, nigga! Too hot to be wearing goddamn boots! Damn! Tie your wrong for the shoes. I just feel like niggas be on a hug and don't even know how to sit.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Swear. That's all it is. You know what's wrong with most of them? You're like, you need a hug, don't you? You're going to be like, see? The moment you do like that you're going to look like. That's what's wrong with the...
Starting point is 00:40:20 He's like going to lean in y'all. Really? Yeah. What? Hey, but then you got the crazy niggins that you give them a hug and they put, Get your hand off! Like, damn. That's what's wrong with, niggins.
Starting point is 00:40:36 That's it. That's their grandma. That's it. That's their grandma. That's your head to the trouble. I can't read you for you for him. What do you want me to do? What you want to do?
Starting point is 00:40:49 What do you want to do? All this shit doesn't happen in the therapy in the therapy. And the therapist is still on the phone. Just sitting there listening. It's good. Let that out. Let that out. It's good.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Let that out, it's good. Let it out, let it out. But see, that's good. That's good therapy, though. Niggins do need a hug. Every nigga missed their grandma. That's doing the therapy, though. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Ain't nothing but stress that's just trying to release it. I'm gonna start a business, right? I'm gonna have a big-ass truckload of grandma. We're just gonna be pulling up on my motherfucker. Get you a hug. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Like, dog, you know, you're good, you good. You're safe.
Starting point is 00:41:30 You're gonna turn on you. You're a part of the problem. You're a part of the problem. It's because of you. Get your motherfucking hands off me. Like, yeah. Oh, it's a wrap. I'm out of me.
Starting point is 00:41:41 You know what? I want no smoke. I'm all right. Oh, God. My name go to church. Come on, man. You need to get baptized. You get back.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Again. Again. You know who the craziest people? Who? People who cry and don't wipe their nose. Mm. Viola Davis, Bob. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:41:59 That's hilarious. You need Oscar just for that. Yeah, she went fast. I don't know how you saw them in snot. No, they must. I know, I could get this. No, they don't. They got fake snobles, though.
Starting point is 00:42:10 They like, go. They got fake tears, but I ain't seen no face stuff. She stayed a little thick. She had a little cold. And he was like, you know. Nees some oil, she's like, ah, I got a scene tomorrow. I need the mucus. I'm trying to save the snout in the time.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Or she blew it out and put it in a cup. Hey, like I'm gonna get an ice cream. That's the ice cream. Hey, where was that snout I put in the rick, right? I have some knot in the tent. Y'all are fucked up. This is, though, bro. But I do think, like, everybody needs to just vent.
Starting point is 00:42:45 When I say vent, like, you need to, you need to, it's okay, bro, to vent talk. Talk. Yeah. To find solutions, though. That's right what the therapist is. You're going to find a solution. Don't you think you're in there talking to somebody about your pussy and
Starting point is 00:42:57 problem. Why you think people... Go in that and find a solution. You got to be real on what you really feel. A lot of people don't vent is because... No, I was just thinking that the first couple times I go on your lap. They want us up. I'm gonna just see how good they really are.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah. The first couple times I go to the therapy on my lap, just to see if they're really good as they are. I'm not going to tell them. the truth. What? And if they fix my fake problems, I'd give, I'll let them fix my real. It's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:43:24 If they fix your fake problem? You said you did. First couple of shit that I throw out there just gonna be hypothetical shit and I'm gonna act like it's me. Ha! That wasn't me. What's a fake news? Forrest go. You came up with the problem.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Now my real problems. What would you do if your child was at home crying all alone because he's hungry? On the bedroom flow. And all the way the funeral wasn't, give a look. Emmett coming through, he knows what to do. That's hilarious. Oh, shit. But I think as men, we need to find ways to vent.
Starting point is 00:44:03 You are. You are. They say you are. Yeah. Facts. We do. It ain't enough. It got to be, we got to have more masculine, spiritual, like, warrior sessions.
Starting point is 00:44:16 When it's like, look, man, the man. man, bro, you're all. Man to man, you straight, like, being a father, what you do as a father, what you do as a father so we can come together? Like, how you feel? Like, you know what I'm a good father? Because I'm out here teaching my son's shit,
Starting point is 00:44:31 I don't even know how to do. Son, when you dunk that motherfucker, you gotta let that rim go. You can't just hang on this one. He's looking at me like, what the fuck you know about dunkin, nigga, trust me. You're hanging, I know it.
Starting point is 00:44:45 How you that? When I was out there, Shit, I see why old niggas laugh. You have to. Just the motivator. You got these last, what these ain't last, that can hurt nobody. When you hit that ball, you gotta make it go over the fence.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Hey, son, when you dunk it ain't never hit no on run. Keep your eye level to the rib. You gotta know just in case this a nigga up under you, son. You don't wanna fucking roll your angle. Look, look at your foot. My foot fucked up. Look, don't worry about all that. Damn.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I'm in my bag. You'll be telling you what, fake sports injuries. Oh my God. Oh, I tried to go up for the dump. Right. Broke both in ACN. When I tell you the biggest white boy you ever seen in your life, undercut me, I flip four-tide,
Starting point is 00:45:25 landed on his knee, uh-huh. The alley coming like this, it still made the shot. Motherfucker, undercut me, I caught the ball, got hung on the rim, hit the backboard. That's what, that's what happened. That's crazy. I used to lie to my nephews when I was coming up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Why? I used to make a shit, because I, it was fun. They used to believe me. Oh, yeah. But he's thinking, ah, dumb and fuck. But some of that she's just imagination as a kid. Yeah. What you said?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Who, me? I remember one time I had that. And if you don't, you write, they don't. I remember one time I had to tell them, I was like, I had that guy jumped by eight niggas. But I told them, nigga, I won't whoop in their ass. It was like, every time a nigga took me, I was like, get on me, knick.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Yeah, I hit on me, man. All my nephews in there, like, for real, uh. I was like, yeah, he caught me in the back, though. I ain't see that one. Then I get to the end of the story. You know what? That makes sense to me. That makes sense to me.
Starting point is 00:46:11 They probably want to believe that shit so bad. We were like, I need it every Saturday. Don't care, y'all listen to me. You're like, damn, like, we always get the fuck. Because that story was giving them hope, it was like, if I get jumped, I ain't gonna do it. Don't you call me. Don't let you get jumped, dude.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Don't let the nephews actually see the fight like, huh, like. But see, I started losing them. I had three, but then when I used to give them to sit out, it would be like two. And then I only had one who would want to listen. And I was like, man, get your ass on. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Yeah, I was like, why you sit here? You got mixed in some truth with the boo. It wasn't no truth. I was just lying all the fucking time. Yeah. Sometimes lies can be the, like, the fuel that can, like, lead the generation. Like, you don't want to lie to them just flat out. You want to give them the lies of hope.
Starting point is 00:46:58 You can't give them no big life lie. I just made up some shit and fuck with my little brother and shit. Yeah. You got to tell them the right kind of lies like, hey, you can't be whatever you want to be. You can't be whatever you want to be. You can't let the shit go on for help. You can't be. For My Heart Podcasts in Rococo Punch, this is The Turning, River Road.
Starting point is 00:47:24 I knew I wanted to obey and submit, but I didn't fully grasp for the rest of my life what that meant. In the woods of Minnesota, a cult leader married himself to 10 girls and forced them into a secret life of abuse. Why did I think that way? Why did I allow myself to get so sucked in by this man and in thinking to the point that if I died for him, that would be the greatest honor. But in 2014, the youngest of the girls escaped and sparked an international manhunt. For all those years, you know, he was the predator and I was the prey. And then he became the prey.

Starting point is 01:17:35 just because it was just because it was just. We just knew. Right. We just like, it was just something, we didn't know where it was gonna go. So maybe, maybe the scene actually holding the baby. Ooh. That was kind of nerve wracking. You know what I'm saying?
