Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm glad I'm here, I'm a huge, huge fan. I've been watching this since the live shows, you know what I'm saying, and I'm glad I'm here.

It's full circle for me, so. Shout out to the real 85 for sevens. That's what's up. That fuck with us a long way, man. Look, what it feels like to be on one of the doper shows on TV right now? Crazy. A couple of them. On it.

Who's gonna get to it? Like, I'm good, all right, all right, my baby. We're rushing a day. We're being left, you know, it's crazy because every day I come on set, it's like a family reunion. You kind of got a taste of it, too, coming on set, you know, working with Tasha or what have you. First season, it really reflected how much relationships

and chemistry we had on set. The audience was able to watch that and actually see it. It was real authentic and real, and we were able to illustrate a story that wasn't, you know what I'm saying? It hasn't been told yet. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.

And it's different because this man is in jail, calling his son, calling the directors, the writers, to producers, and actually telling his story. You know what I'm saying? This isn't a tell you mob, you know, a story that's long and gone. This man has died. This man is actually living this day telling the story and trying to fight his battle. Right. You know, and we are trying to help that, you know, by illustrating this story and his trial of the Tricholades that he went through. So it was cool.

It's fun. It's fun, man. I'm glad I'm a part of him, man. We got some new cast, Mays Leson Jones, you know, got Monique. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. She's gonna come in a go-frame.

Man, what? I know she's been to come in a good friend. She's playing an Atlanta strip club owner. Oh, shit. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's gonna kill that. She's gonna be the head honcho in Atlanta. They're coming to Atlanta the second season.

Okay, so you can say that? Yeah. Yeah, okay, that's what's up. I ain't know if it was a spoiler or no shit, but... I ain't gonna spoil it too much, but, yeah. That's what people was asking, but I was liking to see the, you know, the whole shit from the beginning, how it started. Mm-hmm, yeah.

Now we're going deeper into the story. story so it's great but you know what we kind of clicked like right off the back when we got on that you feel what I didn't know he was one of the main characters you feel it so we were just kicking in and just palene and da-da-da-da-rah but once it was like

action I watched certain actors just to see what was going on but when he was out there I was like oh shit that's what I'm gonna feed off of that's what I'm gonna be angry with when I talk my shit I'm gonna talk to him because I see he gonna give me that nitty that I like and that be damn if he didn't

dude the Zach the fuck what the they were like soon as he did I need no part he was the one that was the he was the one that had hip pills I'm like nika you got your pissed up you know what he gave me that energy so I can got down reciprocate that shit you feel me and being a part of that story like you said I ain't I'm not

I don't know about what they was allegedly known for you feel what I'm saying but to actually be a part of the history in that culture bro it's beautiful and just to have that BMM chain around your neck for like playing one of them niggas it was Like, it's kind of different, too, because, like, we, I can, I can speak for me. I never lived in the 80s.

You know what I'm saying? I did. I'll tell you about it. You tell you what the 80s late. Oh, man. Oh, nigga, the 80s was a difficult time, man. The 80s, that's when you would get all your favorite electronics for Christmas. And nobody bought no batteries.

You just had to look at this shit for about two weeks. Batters was high as fuck. Yeah, man. Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah, you know. Because there was a lot of technology, but it was new technology. Everything was big. Everything was new.

It was shitty. Shitty, but they was trying like a motherfucker. Yeah, exactly. What, what was that? What was it? They got to tell the house phone, man. Rotary phones were still activated. Exactly.

I, so I had to do a scene recently with a rotary phone, and I fucked up because I came, I came to Randy. This motherfucker did it one time. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, listen, listen, listen, listen. Going off when my man said, I'm a real, like, method actor, you know what I'm saying? I am a, uh, uh, what is it called a the, a, uh, a Thesby. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, I like the one and two. I like the one or two. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So when it carried down in that scene, I came to the producers and writers, I said, hey, uh, how many digits? You know what I'm saying? Is it? Like, I know it ain't four, four, four, four, seven, eight, you know what I'm saying?

That I want to, so, like, what, what is it? He's like, it's seven digits. Yeah, because all the cars was local. So when I walked up to the road phone, I did the scene, I literally typed in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And they said, and then after they came back to this and said, you really dialed seven digits? Yeah.

So that was really kind of confusing. You did. You didn't you? You didn't know you were to spend it. I forgot I was acting for a minute. Just imagine. Imagine if the phone was actually on and every time you spend that bitch, you go click click click click click and you have to that shit.

You gotta wait to that shit stop. You gotta wait to that shit come all the way back. Yeah, that's the other number. And that's the house phone. But also real shit, that shit was kind of gangster when you look back on it. Let me call this bitch, hold on. She didn't take for him.

Don't let you fuck up. You gotta hang up. Put that bit back up. That's right there. Then you got to start over. No, but it was fun, though. We'd be living that, you know, because I never, I never lived it.

Man, that shit was dope. But what made you want to get into active, though? That shit is dope with the period, don't you? What I want, what made me? Yeah. I wanted to play basketball. There was no more basketball slots left at the summer camp. So my mom was like, either you're going to go to Emory Hospital

with your grandmother for the rest of the summer or go to this theater camp. That's a hell of a alternative. This on the Westin, like right down the street from the West End Mall. It's the Crox Center. I went there I was like all right bad I'll go to the theater camp

I went to the theater camp for probably like two three years plus and I was like I enjoyed the acting I learned the basics of just standing still not having my hands

in my pockets being comfortable in front of large audiences went from there went to a theater program YEA Youth on Sondola Atlanta Kea Burds came out of there

Candy Birds came out of there Keenan you know what I'm saying so a lot of people Did you just get both of their names together? I sure did. You said, that niggins said, Kenan Burns, Candid Thompson, I mean, shit. I was talking too fast.

But a lot of people came out of that theater program, and I went from there, and Robbie Reed has had open cast for a new audition story. Huge black casting director. And she had, my director of the director of the director program there I was in, she had hit up Robbie Reed, and it was like, hey, I have two boys, Two black boys that can audition for these roles. Damn, that's how they told you? Two black boys.

Two Negro boys. Two Negro boys to play Rainy DeVote and Bobby Brown. And that's when my journey began. Booked it and never looked back. Was it a new addition too? Yeah, I played young Ronnie DeVote. That was my first thing. Booked it off top.

So we worked together. So here's the thing. Here's the process with that. Went to the open casting call. This is in Atlanta. It was like in this loft room. Robbie Reed had her son with her. It was me and my boy Tyler Marcel Williams.

She played Bobby Brown. And in the Bobby Brown story as well. He played young Bobby Brown. We sang Candy Girl in front of her, sang two other songs, and then we auditioned in our roles. And she was like, all right, cool. You guys did good.

About three months later, we got a callback saying, hey, we want you guys to come out with Chris Robinson for a chemistry for a week. And they sent 10 boys, two of each role, two Rikis, two Rikis, two Ronnie's, two Rouse, two Bavis, you know what I'm saying? So this is a chemistry read. What a chemistry read is, I think you know,

what the chemistry is is to test the chemistry you have with the castmates before they actually cast you guys. So this was a whole new different experience for me because, A, I've never been in the casting room, A, I've never been in front of a casting director or a director, period. I've never been in front of my lens. Go out there to L.A. for a week, get in front of all these casting directors,

and Chris Robinson, Robbie Reed, or what have you, with these boys, and we're just battling it out. They're switching us out. Hey, you play Ricky, you play Ralph, you play Ronnie, you play Bobby, you sing this, you sing that. Then we go home after that week. About five months later, I get a call saying, hey, you got it. And my life changed. Like, it was probably like 8.30 at night.

My mom got home from work. And I got the call, and I literally just, like, bust down crying. Because, like, it was something that I wasn't expected, but I wasn't prepared for. You know what I'm saying? Like, me coming from East Atlanta moving to Dunwoody for a better, you know what I'm saying, education, and not knowing what my future wants to upholds and just getting that call, like, hey, we need you to come back to film something. And I've been watching film my whole life, Cartoon Network, Nickelode.

You know what I was, I had a kid, you 12, 13, you get that call. So it was just amazing. Acting camp, come on, man. Yeah. Hang it out. I'm hanging out. I'm about Brown Bobba. I don't, I know.

I got to go rewatch it now. Yeah. What do you find, man. He didn't see when you cut his hair and now. He had a little dude and a guffie. Yeah. D.C. got them out here a young legend, man. My favorite shit, I still want you to,

I want to see the full feature of you playing Slado. From the American Soul shit. That was, that's hard. That shit was smooth. That shit was smooth. And then I actually had to sing for goddamn baby face, man. That was probably out of my whole, like... How was that experience?

Me up in the 10. First of all, I walked in. I had to brace myself. They were like, babyface. I actually had to play that, I had to sing the song with family, slam that song. If you want me to stay. Right, if you want me to stay.

So I go in there, his ass is in there. He's like, he ain't with all that. Who you will? This baby face. I know, yeah. You're in his face now. Right, right, right. I don't give a damn much.

You're in the studio. You're talking to me. Exactly. So I come in, he like, all right, you're ready? I'm like, I'm like, I'm doing baby face. Yes, I am, sir. I'm like, I'm nervous to the bitch. I'm like, yes, sir, I am.

He's like, I'm going to go up the song. He's going to go up. You listen to it. All right. So they got one line, one line. He's like, all right, we're going to cut this line. I'm going to say this part. We're going to say this part, all right.

Hit the note. He's perfect with the voice. He's perfect, go ahead. But this is what he's going. You're like, do this, wrong. I'm going to do this. So I'm sitting there and I'm going to go on. He's like, all right, now go, low the tone.

All right, go in. Now go in the record. It was literally just like that. And one of every direction I was in there on him. Ah, ha. He got what he told these people. He said that he was like, he could sing and he actually takes great direction. And I was impressed by working with him.

And I was like, nigger, from baby face, nigga. That's hard. Same about your boy. I said, baby face was right. Hey, baby face say something like that about you. Somebody's supposed to bring you some cooching right then. Right now. It's supposed to be some coochie, right?

They're supposed to like, I'm telling you. You're stupid. No care. Like, what's your favorite? Like, I heard you say like, period piece, time piece. Those are the best pieces to me. I really like doing nothing past 2015 with no phone, no nothing. Right, yeah.

That's bullshit, real talk. I like to act. I like to get into the character, study, dissect it, find out what's their best one. Who they closest friends? Why is he like this? Why? Why?

What's your favorite or role that you want to go accomplish? As you like, I want to do that. That's a dream role. You know, there's one role that I know for a fact that would change my life. And me and my manager be talking about this, but that's Miles Morales. And the main reason why I mean, it's been. God has been having a heavy on my mind for the past. Seven years I've been in this game.

The main reason why Disney and Marvel has been posting, like fan pages have been posting in the running for me, Caleb McLaughlin, my boy from the shy, and Miles Brown. And they've just been posting that, post, and that posting. I just been seeing it, seeing, and I'm, like, thinking, like, why not, you know? And even if it ain't destined for me, you know, I for show will be grateful if one of them get it anybody else are

but them you know what I'm gonna bring that rule down fucking my mom Spider-Man Spider-Man Black Spider-Man the black Spider-Man

I'm a real street nigga my boy damn this nigga looking at me like oh okay no I'm like I'm hearing

Okay, so you just speak Spanish? Morelis. He's going in. Now, Maras, he's Latino, though. He is. He's black and Latino, right? He's Latino. Yeah, that's the Spider-Man they created

so they can let some minorities play a superhero. They did the cartoon. He was black. And in the comments, he was black. If anybody from the Marvel Universe is much in this. You're trying to change it. I hope you y'all know. We are totally fine with y'all creating.

We can't get it. Fake fictional characters for black people to play, too. Y'all don't want us to play your superheroes. Literally. We got some shit up too. We will come with original roles. It don't have to be nothing recreated. You already got an Iron Man.

To that movie. Radio. You know how many animals in the animal kingdom that we could just throw black in front of? Right now. We already got Ryan Coogler, come on. Black Cougar, come on. You can talk about the animal king. I'm just saying, like, if anybody from Marvel or like the X-Men people watching this shit,

they can make us up some characters too. I'm gonna have some power. We won't be in the power. Nick, got kicked by Rhinoceros. It's not he strong as fuck. A nigga stronger than the Hulk. Regular size, though. What?

I don't think you're able to walk. You got a proper, though. He got a right. Man, in his chest. He got a hipber place, man. That's a simple. That's a big hip. The nigga got his mama's intuition.

He just knowing some shit about to happen. Oh, shit. My chest hurt. Man, we might want to get the fuck out of here, man. Magneto just woke up and scratched this nuts, man. You don't see all this shit playing through here? They got all the white people who could disappear and float and changing the other motherfucker, you mean to tell me they ain't got one

They definitely could let you play stretch arm's right. It might come with some dumb-ass rules. Like, you gotta know where you're going. You can play stretch on shows. You might blank out and be like, go. No, I'm saying. Like, I want to teleport to wherever the fuck I want to go. But like...

That's how the power works. If you know where you're going, you're going, then if you ain't never been. So I can only teleport the places I've been. Why the fuck would you go that man? Hell not. I don't want that.

I'm not, man. I'm flying. No, because whatever your power is, you got to be able to learn this shit and then, like, control it. So you can be able to go to where the fuck you want to go. I'm not.

Professor, X is going to tell you how to use this shit in their powers and get the straight flying. I didn't have no need no wheelchair TV out of you with my power. I'm like, get up and walk, nigga. You know all this shit. Get your ass up for. The thing is he can.

For my heart podcasts and Rococo Punch, this is the Turning, River Road. 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 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.

Remember the Movie Pass era, where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero cents and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast, there are no girls on the internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines. Like the visionary behind a movie pass, Black founder Stacey Spikes, who was pushed out of Movie Pass the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us.

When you go to France, or you go to England, or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt, they're watching Black Panther. And the challenges of being a Black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There Are No Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are No Girls on the Internet on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So how did you prepare for this shit? How are you laying this?

B&M. No, there's Stranger Things. Ah, well, I knew about the show before he even came out, working with Caleb, you know, Caleb McLaughlin. He's in the show. He plays Lucas. He played Ricky Bell in a new edition story, young Ricky. Him out. So I was working with him.

I was like, yo, what you got next? You know, this next project. He was like, well, Stranger Thing. I was like, what's that you? Explained it to me, explained it to me, explained the old logline, the story to me, and it was basically a sci-fi thriller. I was, okay, word.

Came out, season one, watched it. Crazy, stupid. Season two came out, I was like, that's when I was hooked. And season two, I was a big fan, congratulated him, and I was like, bro, like, I would love to be in this shit, man. He was like, why not? You know what I'm saying?

It's like, I'm telling him. I would love to see more of us in it. More people that look like us, you know, regardless of it is me, you know what I'm saying, or anybody else, but now, fast forward we're here a minute you know so how I got here just mainly just telling my agents and I was I've been what was keeping it heavy on my agent's mind

about what I wanted to do and top of roles that I wanted to do and things was coming up you know what I'm saying and they you know they gave me that that blessing you know and it was crazy as Sean Levy and some of the producers on Stranger Things actually worked on my first feature film Ken Ken was a feature film with Dennis Quaid, James Franco, Michael B. Jordan, Zoe Kravis. So they worked on me on that. So now I was just well, full circle, working with them, Caleb, and you know what I'm saying?

So, yeah, so it was just a preparation process, just always just talking to them, my team saying, hey, I want to be a part of this. And them knowing that there's only one black boy, you know, and it's like, why is that? Wow. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, it's 22, this season was 22 million an episode. And it's two black kids. You know what I'm saying? But y'all, y'all always want to talk about Black Lives Matter and, oh, we support this,

down and the third. And I'm not talking, I'm not downplaying it. I'm grateful for my blessing. And that's why I am where I'm today. You know what I'm saying? In Stranger Things, because that was my main goal and my strive and my purpose of going. That I can do it. And not only that I can do it, that.

other boys that look like me can, you know what I'm saying? Just to set up goal and manifestations, you know what I'm saying? You just... Representation matters, man. Come on, man. Got to have some representation.

Got to. That's kind of what you were talking about earlier how everybody, you know, we can't make stuff seem hard. Right. We got to, even this work that's got to be put in. Yeah.

Gotta stay consistent. Yeah, we put that stick on. That's my word, consistent. Yeah. Persistent. Persistent. Consistent the same thing, but when you're persistent, you already know what you need to do. Sometimes people just go to work every day and still don't know their purpose.

Yeah, you go to work consistently. Because they get stuck in a cycle. Any system. Consistent, persistent, persistent, persistent, persistent. Any system is... No, really? It's got to be consistent. You just got to be there. You got to do it. Stay prayed up. Do it. Do the work. Go on there. Go hard, knowing that you want to go to the next level. by elevation.

If you're good with that, then cool. You know that you're good with that. Just don't be like, I'm good with. You don't even know what you're good with. What you good with? What's you good with? And you're just doing it because you got to do something. You just got to do something.

Oh, you need to know what you're doing. You see what I'm saying? So everything, you just got to know. I'm gonna go in here and kill this role. All right, maybe this may be the breakout role. If it's not, it's okay. It's okay. You gotta be prepared, yeah.

Go in here and do what I need to do. Right. It's a blessing to be here. So this is just part of the resume. And we are both examples, though. You know what I'm saying? Coming from Atlanta and we are both the same skin color. No care.

That's proven off the same point that I said that there's other boys and other men that look like us that can do the shit that we're doing. You know, but they always got the various distractions and the outliers that are going to influence. to them to doing something that I want to be a rap. I want to be a basketball player. That's what I wanted to do. You feel what I'm saying? Boy, what? But was you good?

That's the thing. A lot of people want to play. Everybody wants to, but at certain point, the reality got kicked in. You was nice. A lot of people good. He's the niggas right now on the court. You're like, damn, that nigga nice. But you're on NBA nice, nigga?

Right, you got to be great. You got to be great. You got to be great. You got to be great. You got to be great. No, you got to be another level, brother. It's a lovely level. You got to be recreationally great.

Anytime you play baseball, you got to be great. Some people are just born to do certain shit. Right. Yeah. Like, the rock can't do shit else. He is the rock. He can do everything. He is, Batista can't be shit else but Batista.

But these motherfuckers are abnormally large human beings. Yeah. Nigel. Nigger. What else was shit? What's the shack going to do? That's the Shack movie. Yeah, break off.

Right. I'm six two. How? I'm six four. You're not six feet. You use a different chart than the docket. You're not six. The doctor did.

How y'all do y'all? Man. You must jump up to you. If you saw... That probably would have humbled me, though. You saw all the motherfuckers walking around. If you went somewhere and there was a bunch of NBA players, you would freak the fuck out and run out of that.

A room full of seven feet tall motherfuckers? That's the shit that nightmares are made up. You walk in there, you're the smallest motherfucker. People just grabbing you by the top of the head. Move for the two guys. Fuck that. What the fuck is that? It's in genetics, though.

No, not back when I was. No, everybody was clear-cutt losers. Man, those coaches were telling you. You want to take it all the way back done. And we don't win. Nah, so like at the young age day, they had no mercy. Nick, I made the honor roll all the way

consecutively from the first grade, all way up. to the sixth grade. We don't participate to lose. I knew all that shit already. After sixth grade, I fell off the honor roll, then I got back on it. And then in seventh grade, I started playing in pussy. That's when my grades started sleeping right at the second half of sixth grade.

When we started finger-fucking, I was just doing just enough work to finger-fucking. I didn't put in no effort. Where in your first? Like, how you felt when you first? Oh, man. Soon as we got up in there. No, because like, I don't know how it is now

Hell, duh. No. Hey, harder than the fuck work, big. Harder in the work. Man, I'm telling you, that shit changed everything, my name. Like that. Shit. The game was wide open.

This was talking about everything that you can imagine. This shit was like the club. When my school was lit, Nick, I went to school with some lively-ass characters because that was the only time we all seen each other. Even though we lived in this small-ass city, it was some motherfuckers you only saw at school. Right, right, right. So at school, like, that's how you made your identity.

So everybody was on some bullshit. Like, just trying to be known as that nigger. Right. Bro, we went to school with this nigga. This was the coolest nigga in junior high school, but he was crazy as niggins. This nigga named Chicken, man. Yes.

The nigga had the biggest gold tooth. It was just one gold tooth. That nigga got that bitch for Christmas. That nigga never stopped showing that bitch off. When that nigga got that gold tooth, that nigga went to another level, bro. That nigger a legend, man. This was the nigger who had jumped some shit off, like,

everybody eating lunch. ain't no everybody just talking eating lunch. This nigga threw a whole milk all way across the cafeteria and start a whole food fight. And then like this is junior high so you did some shit they just made you sit on the stage

I had a low light that could have been the coldest highlight ever. I had a low light that could have been the coldest hot light ever. Oh. I was playing free safety, and they was lined up inside the gold line, like inside the 20. And it wasn't a receiver on my side, so the tight end lined up on the side. So I'm standing on the gold line, lined up over the tight end, so the tight end come up, and he ran out straight on the goal line. I came right on that bitch, but they threw the ball right here as I'm making the break,

so I try to grab that bitch when nobody in front of me. Drop that, motherfucker. You did that build up to tell me what you didn't do. I'm looking. I'm thinking I got the place. I'm looking. Ain't nobody in front of me. Drop that bitch. That was your low light though. You couldn't have. That was a low light. Not a highlight. Not a highlight.

And it was a couple of basketball. basketball players out there that was, you know what I'm saying, auditioning for certain roles and shit. Caleb was out there too. Right.

And that was this one boy. He was six, ten. We, after the auditions and everything, after the training, we all standing in the line, they all told us to go to the baseline. And then the cast and directors and the trainers they were talking and shit, I tapped him to the side. I said, hey, bro, how old are you? He said, dude turns, shit, see. I said, what? He said, yeah.

To see, playing ball with the wrong motherfuckers to fucking confidence up. Yeah. Because you don't know what level of ball player these motherfuckers are. These niggins be, then played two summers in Europe and shit. And then I tell you what level of basketball player you are too soon. I realize I was shit. And when it was other leagues before the NBA, like G League, the European League, some old another league,

all this other shit league, you got a church league, then you got all this league. You ain't shit because I ain't been on nine league. Right. You just at home league think you can play league. Fantasy league. You got to get in the first distance. You're prepared to me, me. What's your time out?

Hey, what's that? What's that in? That's like that. Tell him there that's a chest board over there. Don't nobody believe nothing to dance, eh? No, you play chess. I play ball, though. You think that bad words is better.

For you. Oh, okay. I'm not thinking. You don't want no problem with that. Nah, because I thought you were talking about basketball. I was maneuvering you to a different sport. Come on, get the ball. Clay, me.

With the coach that gets your ass. Soon as you get you in the load, give me one. Jay win, come on. Come on, oh, no, no, ah, got it out there, got it out there, already up there. Let's do it. Long pan, K, I need one for you, where ya, ah, ah, God. I already up there, laid it up.

You're taking last second shots all game. Then him, you know there, 0.7, 0.5? Nah. You need a 0.4? Who's gonna do it? We need that shot. We need that. Come, I'll be over.

I'll be over there. Crazy and shit I ever did. I took a hook shot in middle school. Where that shit goes? Bitch almost went here. You should have kept doing it. It was not for me to take another one. You should have kept doing it.

I did make one. But then, motherfucker, don't do that anymore. You didn't throw your leg. That's the trick to that shit. You got to cock the leg. If you don't cock, I mean, I can just my ass off. Watch cockereen that dudes are about to do that shit.

And then when they got to high school, they already had their team together. It was tired. It was taller. So my mother leaving shoes up, that boy is really, like, but I won't go out. Yeah, he worked on him.

He's great because he taught me some fundamental things that really got my shit, like really perfected me just on some, he's watching my shot. Perfected, your shot perfected. It's automatic? Usually in the video, that's what I do. Dude. This is automatic?

I'm talking about you maintained it. You maintained it, mechanics. He was playing around, and he was like, the B-100, this is how we know it's gonna work. If you horse, like, when you shoot two, three times, you need the horse play around and then go right back into it, that's how you know it gonna work. Other than that,

Then you ain't perfected. So I shot it, I, I, I played around a little bit. He was like, all right, and I get back into it because, it's a missile thing. Right. Okay. Ah, ooh, well, you great. Right. But this is what I do.

Right, right. It's what I do. Right. You feel me. But fundamental, that's what I was saying earlier about fundamentals. Yeah. I would have had, like, some type of coaching training at a young age, like. No, we ain't know you had to practice outside of practice.

Bro. We ain't know you need an extra practice from a pro. If you want to be. If you want to be great, that's what I'm barely wanting to pay for the sport itself. They barely wanted to pay to put you on the AAU team, let alone we're going to get you some extra, you know what I'm saying? But not even extra help, like, say what you got to coach or something. That's what I'm saying. See his greatness in you and he just going to work with you.

Daug, them coaches back then didn't see shit, but you be in getting down there in the paint. And so it's like, I'm big for this team. I'm not big, bruh. That I need to be told us to win. I'm not going to happen. I'm left-headed with the basketball. I don't know why, but if you can get me out here and I can get to the left, I'm going to draw from the fat.

I knew what the fuck I could do. You know what I'm saying? But this motherfucker would be like, I need you down there to protect the paint. I'm like, my nigger, like, 16. It's that from there. You know what I was like? They were making like $14,000.

Hey, you coaches? They had to work that whole day. That was just niggas from the community. They volunteered fathers and random people and shit. Can't expect too much out of them. No care. Wait, A, A, U coaches was paid. How much?

Like, they get paid? They did. That shit for free. Oh, I thought, oh, I thought you said, hey, you coaches are paid. I'm saying, just like public school coaches that shit. They weren't making no money. They probably get something. There you go.

So you touched that bit. Up in the L. On the bend, what, point three. That piece in the air. You know? For real, let's do it, though. Man, I'm telling me, I get busy. But the only reason why I don't care,

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 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. Listen to The Turning River Road on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Bro, dad, shit. I didn't want to be near females for like six years, like, for a course. But it traumatized me, bro. Like, I don't want to have a girl in a man. I think, I made me not want to, you know what I'm saying, wait for a child because I don't want to pass up. And I think I want to be in the room with my, what I'm saying, with my baby mama. You need to be in there You need to see it

When the shoulders came out And it was like Yeah That's I miss I'll never forget that sound. And it's like, he pulled his shit out. My son knew he was coming. He was like, man.

Nah. I was born no about it down with me. My dad was old, so. No. Yo, I had no sperm to fight. Yo, was that for real? It was just me. He did.

Wait, see, your father, really, how old was your father? Sixty one. Whoa. Yeah, my boy. When he had you. My brother, 60, Citi, no. Sixty-s him. You ain't your father.

Your father was 61 when he had you. My brother's 67 now. You're dead for it. So, yeah, if your father was still alive, he'd probably be like 91. Okay, now he still would have, okay, yeah, he still could have been holding in here. Good.

Because his, his, his, his, little, that long. My grandma lived 99. Dang. Yeah, one girl, too. sit down and talk on the phone all day. Yeah. Really? I hated her hat that she woke, but I couldn't, I couldn't go.

That's why I know a lot about old people. I used to watch my grandma. My grandma was so goddamn funny. I sit right there and watch her talk on the phone all day. Uh-uh, no, no, don't know where I sit right here. Here, he'll go a pen and pad. I don't know why. Back then, they used to get children peeing and pad.

We just doodle. Yeah, yeah. Or a peppermint. Or a peppermin and stuff. That don't last for so long. True. Tongue getting numb, man. You don't eat eight peppermint.

That shit, I can't eat, I can't eat that. What we're gonna eat food? Then she put out that caramel butter, motherfucking, that gold rapper. They're worthless. Nigger. Oh, you're like wunders? I used to hate it, but then I started fucking with it. I used to eat it just because to try to see if I could find something like that.

No, because I found out, like, that was the closest shit. I was going to get to something that was going to last and kind of lightweight filled me up. Because you know your grandma gonna eat what she eat. And it's gonna be odd time. What about the blue can with the cookies? Oh, I love that motherfuckers. What's the name one though?

Nobody knows. The blue can. Roy or something. Yeah, they're talking about. They divide it up in a little plastic. They look psychists. You know, you know which one of them. They'd be like,

huh, take that witch. Take the whole, you're like, I can get all five feet. Thank you, show what? A whole five and eat. with home plastic. Rock up with that whole book, brats on the cap, bro.

I love them, for them, bro. That way I'm grinding, too, though. Like, I said, like, people would be funny as hell, but my grandma used to, like you said, sit there and be on the phone

all day being everybody busy. Everybody business. Everybody business. Everybody business. That's, that's, that's, she'll be on the phone. What's that boy that kept them folk down there?

That boy with that green car. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about. My jewelry? Down the street. I think they were Jewish, do, Grandma.

Yeah. Lo-made them grandson, he killed them folk down. They act like they don't know, but hell, if I know how the police don't know. That is the type of shit that he used to sit around the talk. Hell, if I know, if I know, why ain't nobody did nothing?

Bird. No, I respect my grandma, though. You got to. Got to. Got to. The end of the day. Your grandma did some shit, man. Yeah, everybody, grandma had a life before they was their grandma.

This is what I want you to do with your OG, right? Just sit down and just like, grandma, just give me all the nodded, any wisdom, anything you want me to know. Because the story they be having, bro, like the one they want to tell you to see if you're ready for. Yeah, some shit ain't going to make sense till later on, though. Yeah. I learned that, too, because, like, at a young age, you know, hearing different directorial notes coming from your mom or your father, you brush it off as like an annoying statement and now you get older now

and you hear that same annoying statement and you take it in a different way because you have different priorities in your life and you are different your age has elevated so your mind is mature so you have different respect for what they were telling you you know what I'm saying

so it's like now you understand why your mama told you turned your TV off and like because you knew you wasn't going to wake up right you know what I'm like your mom is in a dog trying to kill a child something through an adult eye view. You see, that's what I was saying, later on. You ain't gonna get that shit until you

have some kids one day and they fall asleep every night with the fucking TV on what? Turn this shit off. You ain't just laying in bed looking their TV, my boy. Right. All the shit that your parents got on your ass about your kids are gonna do all that shit and you're gonna see all these motherfuckers just like me. Same shit you got in trouble.

Fucking be the same shit your kids do. Listen to your pop because that's the nigga who took all the sacrifices for you. Like, your daddy did all the shit that you don't have to do. So it's like, that's the part of, like, passing that shit to your son. Like, all the fuck-ups that he made. He was like, son, listen, I did this shit before. That shit be real.

Well, I've been waiting on this moment. Wait a minute. Don't kiss that bitch in the mouth yet. Wait. Trust me, I'm your daddy. I did it. I used to fuck her mama. Don't tell your mama that.

N-O-H-L-T. Your auntie. Yeah, your pups are already laid, like half of the blueprint is already laid out. I can't wait to tell my son this real shit like that. Oh, son. Let your dad know when you think you're ready. You got two daughters, no. I got two daughters, no.

I see you went on. I can't wait to tell him, like, let your dad know when you're ready. So I can sit you out. Yeah. Getting the real. You know what you're doing. Don't be getting that. I know your heart's going to beat.

But I need you going to go in confidence. He's going to pass out like your dad. Gonna pass out. Hey, look, there's gonna be some shit we're gonna do. Don't do that. Get it out. Maintainting it, son. Maintainting that shit. Don't you do it?

You got to stay strong. We got some good genes. Your daddy got good genes. You all right. I feel like that's going to be a leveling point from all that when I have a son. Like, it's going to be different. You know what I'm having a little, having a little youth. Right.

Just be thankful. You know what I'm saying? You got to be blessed and just be thankful. You can have children. It's a blessing. Man, me. That's one thing about me having tears. I'm like, now I'm getting the age.

Well, now I want to have a child and don't know until he or she comes the day up. Man, the kid's smart as fuck. Ask them some shit. Then when you run some kids, just ask them some shit. They'll tell you all kind of shit, and you will never expect it. They'll be like, because I remember when I was being born, everybody was talking. And me like, what the fuck? They was.

They was talking, and they were saying my name. And you were like, you remember that shit. You never know what they're gonna fucking say, though. My daughter is so funny. She's seen my feet. She'd be like, Daddy, I'm just saying. I'm like, what? She's like, your feet.

They are hideous. I'm like, hideous. Who don't talk to these goddamn words? I'm like, hideous? That is smooth. You hit you with the hideous? That's funny. They have no filter, little kids.

They don't want to display that we were king. It's not that they don't want to display. They don't want to give us the accolades to do that,

you know what I'm saying? Because we got to stop saying, And they, it's enough of us that got enough money to display that we are kings. We have that money, but not all of us are in control of that money. This is what I'm saying. It's enough of us that's in power to be able to say, we can display. We are kings.
