Because y'all ain't getting the right women First of all, sometimes You probably be sitting with the right women You're standing too high for your own self You're gonna tell the niggas they stand this too The niggins standing too high You see you changing the game right now I ain't changing the game

We just got to be appreciative dick off of everybody This ain't just ain't for the niggas It's for the niggas and the women We just got to be appreciative A motherfucker that we got Because you're setting standards for yourself And get what your relationship ain't really bad

You're nitpicking Instead of really loving each other That why motherfuckers ain't together 30, 40 years no more We out here Social media gave us access To have an illusion of some shit That we probably will never ever have

In real life That's why you put in their problem in your bedroom because you see this illusion on your phone you see a bit from friends but you ain't never going to france yeah you're trying to bring these french bourgeois wee we we problem why you in the hood your girl work at family dollar man love that girl that motherfucker went through all that you know all that nasty niggins that be coming in the family i'm stealing this shit love that girl come on man y'all tripping bro yeah yeah they're saving up love like they're gonna use it You got to appreciate what the fuck you're at, why you're there.

You know why your girl cheat? Your girl cheat because, first of all, some of these hoes, so I ain't going to add like they ain't hos. Take them out. What? They don't factor them in. Right, that's what I'm saying. You can't say that. I'm only speaking on the good one.

You'll push your girl to do some ho-ass shit. You see what I'm saying? And she'll end up liking the nigger because, you know, niggins would be lying just to get puss. A nigger would do whatever he got to do. Whatever role he got to play he gonna play it and he gonna fuck you bitch this the thing that people don't never say Women and men playing the little fake arrow game I think this DC I think women and me and she for the same reason Cause people like fucking long as fucking is in the equation that's it that's the only reason people cheat It's because they like fucking don't be some shit she liked to fuck as much as you like to fuck

You got to find somebody who just okay with fucking you right you maybe you maybe you you need to find somebody who's all fucked out if your biggest fear is your woman fucking somebody else right get you a woman who tired of fucking yeah you got to get your woman that like fuck like to fuck like once a week type of shit that don't really like to fuck one person at a time you just got to find them and and you got to fuck good enough to be the niggins she only want to fuck don't give her no option sometimes you got to be real with yourself you got to be real with yourself you ain't uh you ain't you can't hold you can't handle up one you get a half a pussy so she give you half a pussy and you and what she

do with the other half ain't none of your fucking business you not even doing the right shit with the half she giving you that's why she go cheap that's why she cheat now if you ain't got good fuck j eat her ass no don't that's not gonna make up for you not being able to fuck good that'll stop that'll stop because she don't know about to eat ass like because think about it if your girl got some wack pussy you're gonna be like at least the head good but the pussy stay way. Right. You can't trigger bitch into liking your dick by eating ass. That's nasty. He was like, hey, I don't want to fuck up. Let's know what I do. I made the other thing you don't do that.

He don't have to do it. He don't have to do it. You already did it. She's going right over there after you finished doing that. That's a greedy bit. That's fucked up. That's how they get down. That criminal, what? They're niggas, too. They're niggas, too. They'll never think that they're not. The same way,

niggas are pretend and laugh for some pussy women will fake and be that bitch he'd think he met and fake for some dick too. Hey, man, it's okay if your woman go off and get her little rocks all right quick. If she come back home to you, that should show you how player you is. No, I don't.

She can go fuck her. No, you thought. I thought you was going somewhere with that. That didn't. Fuck it don't. I don't. Listen, that's going to save a lot of relationship.

Because if you're scared of your girl going to fuck off and she's going to fuck some, I'm trying to alter the way you think it's the perception of the shit. You in the house about to go crazy. I can't believe you got to pull up. Ah. What did he say, flag?

I can't believe you gave him to pull him. Ha! Don't even know he had that scream. Fuck this shit. She's like, what's wrong with you? She's at home, bro. Because what, I'm telling you, if a girl really like somebody, she's staying what she's like.

She ain't coming back, gang. Now, you may do some shit with, she's like, I got to go back. But she's going to finish you. where she gonna go back over there you see what I'm saying but if she come back out she done some dirt and she got your career in my game listen bro that shows a little bit of your pimping my boy you feel me a nigga he wasn't good enough to take her she didn't want to be taken no I ain't about what you want to be she didn't want to be taken

she just wanted to take you he didn't do it good enough I want yes some niggas some niggas aren't real enough with themselves bro there's some things out here that's fucking women there's in relationships and just about them fucking them is saving your relationship yes he ain't shit he don't want to she don't he don't require that like she don't require him to be shit he's just serving the purpose it's just like when you got a good eater on the team right hmm yeah yeah he's the eater we're gonna fuck this up whether either she just like fucking off or she is excited it's excited it's excited it's excited Wait, what if you got a little bitch that don't fuck off?

Huh? What if you got a little bitch that don't fuck off? Well, that's her thing. In the sense, she's just as freaky as the bitch who fuck off because she'd get off by not fucking off. See how your perception is? It's all about perception. Motherfucker got off by not getting off.

Right. What the fuck? It's just like motherfucking up without buzzing the nut. No, they get off by doing the right shit. Everybody got their own perception of this shit. I see what you said. You get all by doing the right shit Like, yeah, I'm loyal

Ah Exactly, it's just like that Diggas be losing A mind, bro I'll tell you, don't go on your girl phone, bro That's going to be something the most If you ain't had a heart attack That's the day you go

They try to see what going on. Now, that's okay. But if you're going off the initial step, oh, my nigga, you fucking up. What? The. this would take off of trying to figure if she dirty or not that it ain't even that she's dirty it just you're gonna see some shit though they're gonna be four o'clock in the morning you'll never look at the same you asked to suck that nigga three in the morning three in the morning you asked you asked you said you in the wabah bitch you suck it dead you asked for some day you on your phone asking for dick Just see your lady in there asking for some dick.

You don't want to go through that treasure. Hell no. That's something you're a real man to be like, bro, you only want to have that on every woman that you mess with, bro. Because that's going to make you become a nigger. You ain't going to trust nothing. Nothing. You're going to move off.

You're gonna be a, on my chain. I'm gonna be a bitch-a-niggin' bruh. And you don't wanna be a bitch-ass-nigua that don't trust women, bro. You feel me? So, leave that girl phone on, even if she put her code in front of you, you just know the code. Yeah, you gotta, if you're gonna deal with somebody, you gotta get them the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah, you just... Trust, that's how I look at trust. You gotta, I can't trust you no more. Right, I'm scraped. Yeah. I don't care. I don't care. I don't care.

I don't kill. If you got to the point where I got to look at your phone, I'm gonna just let you go. The motherfuckers that scared me the most is people who laugh out some little shit. Right. Right. Sometimes you don't even have to correct them. You're just be like, damn, that's crazy.

Right. And you see it. They tell on their self. They tell them they say. If you, if you be the nigga that you is, bro, you're supposed to make sure the whole situation right. You feel what I'm saying? And if you got a good girl, bro, respect that.

You feel me, like, don't cause a problem. Yeah. Like, some niggas cause the problem. They are the problem. You are the problem. You feel the problem, you feel it's your job to navigate the situation. You see what I'm saying? Like, be her comforter.

You digger what I'm saying? She's a woman. It's all right. It's what it is, but don't be the bitch, nigga, too. Absolutely. You got to give a motherfucker some space, right? Everybody ain't through growing up yet. Facts.

You ain't grown up. That's what I'm like. We all still got grown up. That's what I'm saying. He'll take a long time to mature and be like, hey, man, what fuck is you doing? This is what you're doing? This is what you're doing? Because if you're still out here begging for dick, I'm trying to go.

I'm telling you, guys. Come on, bro. Where in time? Like, you could do that? Are you better than that yet? But I was straight. Don't be with me doing that shit. Let me know to do with that.

I'll jump. I would have let me agree to be with a begging and ass bitch who'd be begging for dick. Let me approve of that. You didn't even ask for man. He just took it. I said, you should go right here, take him in bed. Hey, man, they're going to swear we're better and hurt, but, man, once you deal with a variety of women, you deal with some good ones and some bad ones.

You see them telling the niggia to take care of the right women. Yeah. But I don't believe in the right, take care of yours. That's the right one. Yeah, that's the right. You're right. You see your best. That's the one you waking up with.

And you worry about the other bitch you want to be with. bruh you brrah all right go be with her there why you ain't with her because it's something about her that you didn't want to fuck yeah come it up with shit i can't get to this one could this right yeah yeah well let her go i can't let her go why especially if you're a nigga who then did a lot of dirty shit you can't expect somebody to treat you right if you're a nigga to do a lot of dirty shit you can't expect to get treated right okay could speak on that because could get what that he's gonna do he'll put all here problems into an illusion and create a fake narrative.

You're not the victim. And put it on her. You're not the victim. You're not the victim, bro. You're just putting all the shit that you're doing on her. You're like, I know this bitch creeping out at 3 o'clock in the morning. Could you do it? Because you out here getting pussy at 3 o'clock in the morning, acting like you go to the Wi-Piard.

Yeah. She did. Because she said, I want to see what you be talking about. Bitch, what you mean? You want to see what I be talking about? I know what I be doing. Bitch, what are you doing? You feel me?

Nah, let it be eat at 3 o'clock in the morning at Waffle House, game. You do it. Niggins don't want to hear that shit. No, y'all need to talk about some other shit. We don't fucking up a couple of house on night. That's what I'd be saying. Man, shut the fuck up. You only don't.

But that's therapy, though. They gotta hear this shit. You feel what I'm saying? Like, they got to understand like, nah, nigger. Just because y'all see us up here talking this shit, nah, nigga. We respect the ones that hold it down. And if you're a bitch, nigga, you got to tighten up, nigga. Stop, stop cap'n.

Tighten up, nigga. It's your job. It's your job to tighten up. Stop being the bitch, nigga, and acting like you're victimized. You're not the victim. Not the victim, gang. All the shit you did, there's some shit. And she's, and listen, she's right there still with you after all that shit you did,

you're tripping. You're tripping. You better look at her like, Hey, I do fuck with you, Shudder. What? But it shouldn't take that for a nigga to get right. Come on, man. Shouldn't take that girl, 3 STD, man.

That crazy. She's still there. That's fucked up. I shouldn't laugh at that. You feel me? You're talking about, that girl don't love me. Come on, bro. You can't have a chlamydia twice.

She'll love you. That girl love your stupid. With the same dick. With the same dick and leg. Lee. Go on, bro. Ah! The girl did that do that?

Ah! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I told you, man, we have a dope-ass relationship part here. We don't hold niggas accountable for the niggins shit they didn't did it. Because that's where it starts, nigger. They said we don't hold our brothers and friends. Yes, we do, bro. No, go for that sucky shit, but like, when it's, when men talk, it's men talk. Like, we know sometimes vices ain't shit, bro, y'all be putting, putting niggas through shit.

But if a nigger is, it's just, sometimes we always try to tell a nigger when we know they wrong. But we don't, sometimes you can catch this nigger before they be wrong, you're like, hey man, don't, don't do that, bro, don't do that. Mm-mm, mm-mm. And a nigger know he wrong because he always be like, what? What? But, but, but.

No, don't try to justify, game. You're wronged, man. You can't do wrong with wrong. You're wrong in hell, don't do that, man. Don't do that, bro. They're gonna make the situation worse. You too loud. You feel me?

You gotta also understand what we're dealing with. We're dealing with women and emotion. You're playing emotional, my boy. As a king, we can't run off emotions, gang. We got to run with discipline. We got to run this shit to a form of eye. We know what the emotions feel like. Most niggas don't have no standards, though.

But that's what I'm trying to tell you. They don't even know. your standards is in the bad with you nigger well in the end they don't have no morals either when you don't when you don't when you don't have no fucking morals that's what you just settle for and put up with you get slack you just started doing shit you don't want to be with that nigga you chose right before you fuck you got to have some standards man I'm talking about and when I say standards a lot of niggas don't know what that mean I'm talking about the way that you move and operate as a man right you know what I'm saying right sometimes

Sometimes you don't have to do the most obvious shit. Right. It ain't about being motherfucking scared of no shit like that, but it's like, a nigga, at least move with some kind of discipline or some kind of structure where you ain't just out of it. If you know you got something to lose. Right. Niggas ain't doing that, bro.

They just, they being bitch niggas, man. Well, we can't save them. Talking about the motherfuckers, the 30% of niggas who might, be listening to this shit. More definitely. But if you're a real nigger, you know you, these are words of affirmation to a real nigga. Yeah, you can't speak to all these niggas like they're real.

If you feel like you're getting talked about, I am talking about you, fuck niggil. But if you know these words of affirmation, because this shit you'll be saying, just sit back in. That's what you're talking to. That's what I'm talking to. You're talking to two types of niggas. You're talking to real niggas and fuck niggas. I'm talking to all the niggas in between that. No, because I ain't no in between.

You either a real nigger or fuck. No, it ain't that cut and simple. Some niggas ain't got the chance to either pick, either side. No, because if you do a fuck-niggin' shit, that's where you at. And if you're doing real-nigger shit who just, who understand, because you also understand, these niggas out here that's by themselves. So some of these niggins don't even know if they're doing wrong or right. You see what I'm saying?

So they ain't got nobody to talk to. You know, real niggas don't talk for real. We ain't got no, we don't be buddy, buddy and all that. And some of them niggas do. who on that type of time but real niggas who don't have a what they call mentor and all that or a father figure in their life

they don't even know if they're doing wrong or right they know it because they know they got morals but they don't really have nothing that they're feeding off where it's like what's their instruction where's their guy you see what I'm saying so when they hear the words of affirmation they're like okay okay okay okay I told that to myself

so I'm just trying to make sure okay it's niggins that think of life but that's implied you have to keep it mind. People make decisions based off the information that they have. Some niggas ain't never heard it even be divided like that. Like hey, this is, this might not be the right thing to do, but this the real nigger thing to do. Because the real nigger decision ain't always the right one. Right. Sometimes you have to make a decision that if some niggas gonna look like,

oh, that's fucking shit. I'm gonna do this shit every time. And that's why you're gonna always have the same results. It's okay to move and make better decisions once you got, better information. That's what the growth is all about. But that's what I'm saying. You also got to understand where it works in your benefit when it comes to what you said, growth. Like you said,

it's not a fuck-nigger decision. Right. You think it's a fuck-nigger decision because you think it with a fuck-nigger mentality. Sometimes as a real nigger, making the right decision, feel like a fucking-nigger decision. But, but because you're on the verge of ballowing the growth

and making a fuck-nigger decision. So when it feels like a fuck-n-nigger decision, you're like, that's a fucking-nig decision. But then when you make the growth, you realize, damn, if I went with the fuck-nigger mentality, I was about to put myself two, three steps back. Okay. Some niggas be holding themselves the standards that don't exist. You see what I'm saying? You got to have your own.

But I grew to hold myself accountable. No, bro. You didn't put me there. You got to grow to there. I put myself there. There you go. You're my friend. So I'm going to get where, and I'm going to always be there for you.

But nigger, don't ever think you were wrong for me. me making the decision to come help you, nigga. Because if you're about to get jumped again, guess what I'm going to do? We're going to get beat up again. No, fuck. You know, everything, that's a wrong decision. I already don't have made that decision that's the right.

But if this is our 15 time getting beat up, we've got to move with some better information. Then I'm going to say it's your, now it's to your, I only got the 15. Let's get the fuck out of here. We together as a team, we're not a good duo. We can't who. I would have told them. We can't whoop these niggas.

Why you keep going down there with them. Hey, bro, let's start running. You got to stop talking to these, niggins. We didn't been real, nigger, 15 times, and we didn't lost 15 times. I'm just saying, hey, it's your ass. You're the problem. You the fucking problem. No count.

I got to hold you accountable, nigga. No count, no cap. I ain't helping your ass no more. But that comes from growth, bro, but you also got to understand. Niggas not even telling their partners what's right, bro. You feel me? Like, I see my partner's growth. Like, I see the one that want to grow.

Because I see the one that make a decision that they never would have made a couple years ago because they knew. I know your mentality, nigger. You feel me? Like, look at me. I'm making decisions. I have nothing. You, nigga, it's me. I am making decisions that I wouldn't have made years ago.

You know me. So it's like, once I see you making decisions that you would have made years ago, I'm like, that's growth right there. Because, bro, seven years ago. man, you don't like that, fuck that shit. But you see, why you got to do this shit in order for you to make it to the next step. Yeah. You see what I'm saying?

Some shit... You can't cheat the game of growth. Growth is uncomfortable. I think that's what niggas don't understand. So that's when it's wisdom and knowledge that we got to tell these nigg that go from the niggins. Like you said, they don't know what's between the two. Growth is uncomfortable.

So now that they know that they're uncomfortable, they're like, okay, I must be growing in some aspect. I just got to find out where I'm growing at. You feel it? Because you're thinking you're uncomfortable and you're like, life you're just so crazy. Ah! No, bro. Cheer your ass out.

Chill your ass out, bro. You're uncomfortable right now because you're growing in some aspect in life. Yeah. Figure out what that is. Because if you understand life, you're not really going to be comfortable. It's going to be things that are going to make you uncomfortable. You don't have to find how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. It ain't really no way to do that.

You just have to goddamn bite down and try to get the fuck up out of there. And hope it don't last as long as the last time. Right. Ah, come on, why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient.

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

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.

I'm scratching on that shit. You got to live and let live. You see what I'm saying? That's why they say let shit be. Because they are already living in the world. Everybody got their own perception on every time. So guess what? You're living in a certain world anyway.

Because your perception may not be my perception. Now, we may agree on the world. certain shit. That's just where our worlds have coming grounds at. You see what I'm saying? We got coming grounds, but we still living in a different world. That ain't cut the beat off. I was just jamming. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't hear it with that hat on. That's what we're trying to tell you.

You're like 14, 15. When? 95. In 95. I was 13. I was right to be a 12, 13. Yeah. But check this out.

Because you can see the Tupac in the big end. You understand that shit. I remember when McAvella came out. Like, I saw, we just, we nigga had that shit. We were just looking at the album cover like this shit crazy. Right, right. I remember all that shit. Nigg got better albums that don't nobody, never talk about.

Like Thug, like, his first shit, Tupacalypt now. Shit go crazy. Right. Oh, man. There's a lot of them motherfuckers. Two-Pock was a dope motherfucker, bro. That nigga was dope at everything. That's why I appreciate other niggins' experience in life.

Like, a lot of niggas get upset at the who the best between Pock and Biggie. Nigger, that's, they both was the best. Right. They both did what they're supposed to do. They was both the best. And then it ain't like you can pick one over the other because they both were like, was dope as fuck. But see, Pock, he was a bigger performer. Right.

That nigga is. He knew how to sell whatever that package was. Yeah. No, it wasn't like that nigger was pretending like that. That nigga really meant everything that he said. I know that. But I'm what I'm saying. He knew like it came to a certain extent.

Like the nigger, a rapper, shooting the police. Y'all, nigger, talk about that. No, he did it. He did it. He did it! Oh, shoot at the police. No, you would. Or you think you may have.

This nigga shot two police and had to look at him in court face to crazy. But see, the dope thing about... They were like, they were like, y'all shoot your ass again. The dope thing about two parts of him. The little thing about Tupac, though, is that nigga was a revolutionaire. Fast. But he was too extreme.

He was one of them niggins. He was like, man, we're going to go over here and we can all die if we're all going to die together. Right, right, right. You get what I'm saying? Right, right. He was a real activist, just like, like Trey. Right. You get what, he's the one who was, if some shit happened, he was going to be the rapper who

showed up and didn't need no fucking publicity. He's going to get on the news and he going to say the shit and be with the family and really be out there like right right but he really was gonna be one of the niggas who was in the city really smoking weed and running with the thugs and really had a pilster on him and really shooting out with the police uh come on why is this taking so long this thing is ancient still using yesterday's tech upgrade to the think pad x1 carbon ultra light ultra powerful and built for serious productivity with intel core ultra processors blazing speed and AI power performance.

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 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.

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 that 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.

But there's a lot of niggas who are going to say Pac wasn't gangster. Well, he was just pretending. Some of that shit you can't fake. But then it just goes to show you, for the nigga to be that good. And then for him to be dead, niggas waited for him to be dead 25 years to even speak anything ill on his name let you know that the nigger was exactly what he said he was

because you had the chance to say that shit when that nigger was alive and you didn't. And he said fuck you while he was alive. If it was smoking, he's going to let you know it's smoking. Right. He's like, man, when we go in there, it's fuck them nigger. I'm like, God damn, Bob. When we

see them niggas, we're going to let him know it's stuck life. I'm like, this thing is crazy. You know what else was crazy? Oh. Nicky, hearing DMX get at me dog for the first time. Oh, that nigga went crazy, bro. That nigga went crazy, bro. That nigga, that's, man, when DMX came out,

that nigga had the world on fire, bro. It's like every nigga in the world is in DMX. Real for real. A lot of that shit, now it's like you're looking back all that shit old, but it's like these motherfucking moments. But that's what I'm saying like some shit was so good made a nigger go to the mall You had the hair that motherfucker. I'm talking about you could hear a song on the radio and be like I'm gonna go bad at right now We don't got this shit no more. That's what I'm saying, bro. I mean it's this moment

It's more accessible because you could just do it right on your phone, but Nika that's the excitement that go with that shit going to the mall to get them jays, bro Right, right, right, right. It's a process to this shit. Oh man, man, man, They don't take away the process. I didn't remember that shit when you walk in the fucking foot locker in this life. These motherfuckers so exclusive, they got me. Just can't afford the motherfuckers right now. If I had a tab machine, I'd do that.

I'd go back in time. I'll pay that bound. I'll pay that bound. I'll pay that bound. I'll go back to like 93 too. Oh. I'll pay that bound. I'll go back to like 93 too.

Ooh. When them bitch a, when them bit they mix on, The bitch was like Louis Vuitton. Yeah. You walking in school was J. That shit went crazy, bro. That shit went crazy, bro. I remember my son.

When the fives came out, the black man, shh. Nigger was like, bro, what the fuck? What the fuck are those, man? You got some joy? The fives? They thought they were Jordan when they wore Jordan. Brother, because everybody didn't have the black fives.

You're not Jordan, bro. She's so stupid ad now. The black fives? Shit. I had my first pair of James in the third grade. I wore them bitch all the way up to the six. And I got to the point. Those bitch looked like house shoes.

My feet out the shoe. I'm just, wow. I'll wear these bids. But then after the fives, I got the white cement threes. Oh, I couldn't wait to wear them motherfuck. They're still my favorite joan. My favorite shoes, white cement three. Man, because then it's like

What made me want to get the threes Was when Cadeem Hardison On different world That nigger had all the Jays first Different world Man, that nigga Dwayne. That nigga Dwayne, Wayne With the flip-up glasses.

Nigger, everybody had them flip-up glasses, nigga. I still try to find out. That nigga was so cool when he brought them bitches out. That nigga was one of them niggas, bro. And he started out. He was supposed to be like the nerd. Uh-huh. He started out really cool.

Man, this nigga had. The wine. The wine. I'm like, why she talked like that? I love it. She was the Southern Bill. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Bad-ass. Try to make her, they try to make her sound country. I used to like Freddy. She was bad, dude. It looked weird. But then you go all the way back.

Marissa Tome was on there, too. Talkio Tottena. She was one of the ones in the early, like, 90. See, different world was our grown. Early 90. See, different world was our grownish today. That blackish, whatever that show is that they got this. Yeah.

With them going to school and shit. Yeah. But it resonated with us. But see, when they dropped the different world, they made every black kid from the age of fucking probably eight to 19 want to go to college. Right. Because you have to keep in mind, this is our first time seeing all these different. HBCUs on all these sweaters, like seeing a fraternity on TV for the first time,

sororities, these are just like, that had never been done before. You know what I'm saying? Because it ain't showing like black people on there struggling. Now they are trying to figure out how they're going to pay tuition by working and shit. Real live shit. It's probably the most accurate depiction of black college we'd have ever had. Right, right. For a TV show.

Right. And they kind of set the standard Because they were talking about real shit on that motherfucker Man, it was going through real shit motherfucker who was getting pregnant, getting an abusive relationship Mr. Gaines let motherfucker watch dishes so they don't get kicked out of school

and shit. Then Duane get robbed? They got caught a nigga by Dean King. Him and Ron they got in the fight at the football game and caught the white boy's spray-pay nigga on the car which was really like a real that shit really happened at a lot of schools

around that time. White people don't have that kind of racism no more. Everything on camera. They don't even get to... You had, I really miss spray-pain niggers on car. Yeah, we don't even burn crosses no more. The gas prices and got so damn high. All they got to do is put a Trump stick

on and be like, we're covering up with Trump stickers. Put a Trump sticker, everybody. Everybody know who you are. Yeah. Give him a Trump sticker. But then it's like that then the Cosby show was the was before that so right right this is the first time I think motherfuckers this thing with money niggas with money right for real for real George Jefferson had paper now right but he didn't get the flex right you get what I'm saying George Jefferson had paper nigga right

you were that he sat on the top floor at the condo he had a high ride no he had a deluxe apartment in the sky That's what I'm saying. That was a nice, that was a real humble way of saying this nigga got a penthouse. De-loved somebody. His shit was bigger than everybody else. Can they kept coming over?

By the way, he kept throwing white people out. He called him honkies, and Mr. Charlie. He called him Mr. Charlie. That was peak black man racism. Right. And like in the 70s when they was calling all white men,

Mr. Charlie. What Mr. Charlie came wrong. Rich niggas! Right. Rich niggers came from... There ain't nothing but the old Mr. Charlie. Mr. Charlie. George Jefferson was 5'2 looking white men right in the face on national TV.

Right. Calling them honkies and crackers. Am I bullshit? He was looking up at them nigger ass. Listen here, Lucas. what I said, and you, get out. But it would just be unsoliciting, though. He was like, sorry, Weezer.

I just don't feel like being around no honkies today. No care. On Prime, this one do is what? There's three networks. Right. One of these networks let a nigga get on there and call a white man a crapper at a honky. And Mr. Chalky.

And Mr. Chavis. Bell face. I'm talking about it. Black. Think about this shit. I'm talking about this right out of Marley the King just died. 69, 68, 69, nah? Marlou the King died in 64.

He died of 64? Yeah. I thought he died of 68, 69. He died of 64? Yeah, it was right in there. Somebody died in 68, 609. Yeah, it was right in there. It's 64 or 65.

I'm hiring. I shouldn't know. I know on my regular mind. Okay, it was 68. Huh? It was 68? Okay, bad. See, don't fly.

Don't let nobody to tear your mind's sake. Yeah, exactly. You were right, and you was finished to be wrong, agreeing with wrongness. Sixty-eight? Sixty-eight? Yeah. Yeah. I thought it was earlier than that.

Uh-uh. Okay, it was close to 70. That why I'd be trying to tell, nigga, like, we, that shit wasn't that far back. I was born in 92. You feel me? Nick, 32 years ago. You just gonna swear that that that's a long-ass time ago. That's time ago.

Bro, I'm 32, niggins. Some shit happened in 92. That these young kids got to know about. Hey, guy. You didn't know. What the shit happened in 92? You know, they... What's the call?

What the boy, they beat up? Rodney King. That shit was in 92, one? Yeah. Ninety two or 93. These kids don't know, man. I'm talking all knocking on television. But I'm talking about they beat them.

I had a field day with them. You, well, you, well, you, well, they had a bombing in Atlanta in 96. That one trying to tell the E4, and E4. like this shit just, like this shit, right around the corner game. Yeah, I was here. That's what I'm trying to tell you.

What happened? I was four. I've been in Atlanta since the late 80s, Nick. I was here before you was born. Well, you were here three times before I was born. Yeah, I was here before, exactly. Yeah, I've been here before you were born, me. But what they used to call middle school when you were in...

Junior high. Junior fucking high. You at the junior high school. What is junior high? I know you did. I would say the girl named, but she's probably a respectable citizen. She used to suck dick for ice cream in junior high. Ice cream was 50 cents.

That's great. And he don't want to believe. Anybody I went to junior high school with can tell you. And he don't want to believe. They might put it in the comments because I've been noticing my ox for people been tuning in. But- When y'all junior high started with, seven? Huh? Six, seven and eighth with junior high. Okay.

And he don't want to believe that the girl showed me how. how to lick the teddy in first grade. But they suck a digger to your eyes. But they took a dick in your eyes. You see what I'm trying to tell you back. Everybody had different experiences. You was not licking no titty in the first grade. I ain't accepting that, bro.

That's not valid. I can't call the girl. I can't call the girl. Because there ain't nobody have no titty in first grade for you to suck. This one I'm trying to tell you. You might have licked her chest. It was a chest titty.

No, it wasn't a titty. I ain't say titty. And titty, I'm speaking of a girl, so I'm gonna say did it, but you know she has a chance. I just stop. This is very inappropriate. I was in first grade. No, that's too young.

Well, I can't help that she was fast. Motherfuckers had babies in junior high. Six grade, bro. So you think they fast and six, the bitch was fast and first. I mean, it ain't necessarily the sixth graders. It beat them seven. The bitch that don't jump out in the fifth grade, be like, ooh, I'm gonna be fast.

It's been fast. Doing all the wild. The girl who got pregnant in the sixth grade, let me look her 10 in the first. And when you was in the sixth grade, you ain't really no shit. It was the seventh and eighth graders who was teaching you all the bad shit. Okay, you hunched for a long time.

What do you think hunting is, gang? Those kids in elementary school, they'd be hunching their ass on. We were some hunching, leg-repping, motherfuckold. Yeah, because y'all seen somebody doing that shit, watching that pornography and shit. Bad influence that had kids. You're going to blame it on air, buddy. Just being fucking menacing grown. That's what we was doing.

This is gay. I got to put up on R and shit. But that's crazy how we were smart enough not to take our clothes off? Bro, I'll tell you. I'll hunt you like a motherfucker. Just hunch it. Feel good than a motherfucker. I wish this shit still felt like they're as adults.

Man, that's crazy. Get the fuck out of me, man. Man, get your stupid ass. Come on, make me that. Man, get the fuck off me, man. I'm sensitive, man. This back when you couldn't even You just felt different.

Can you scared? I was scared, boy. I was scared. I had to wait. Three years later, I had to build up more confidence. Shit. Eight 90, I read a lot. You couldn't have went to junior hat with us.

We was acting a fool in junior hat, Burr. Now, don't get it wrong. I was scared. I remember vividly in the seventh grade. Because we used to go to the gym after school. This is therapy, bro. We were talking about we were children. Every day we used to go to the gym.

And like, going to the gym, you had to walk through the park. walk through the park. Right. And if you had some holes that wanted to walk to the gym and they was about that, you was about to have a good day. A good day. Well, walking to the motherfucking gym. That shit down to take about seven minutes, but if you know, I've still never...

Take a school you go to, take seven minutes to the gym. God damn! This is not the school gym, this the city gym. So y'all leaving the school to go to the city gym? Yeah. Y'all got to share the city gym? No, it's just close to the school. But why is y'all walking?

It takes, it's a shorter walk than it is a ride. No, everything put it to be on one campus. You don't get what I'm saying. The school got a gym on the campus. Right. But the city has a city gym that we're going to play ball. It's down the street. It's down the street.

But as children, why are y'all walking to this city gym? Because the school right here. Right. The park across the street from the school, the gym down the hill from the park. Oh, okay. To make it make sense. I feel. But it was a few little

finesse in me. If you had it, you know. I understand. Yeah. I would say her name too. Don't do it. No, okay. When I got the ninth grade,

she knows who she here. She was a senior. Yeah. She was a 12th grade. I got scared that tired, too. But she was on my, but she was on my head. She was like,

I was like, damn, soda. Well, give us a head. Like, hey, hey, give me some head. I'm trying to eat, more like, give me his head. Like, she's like, you gotta be ready. You, I was like, you know, I was like, see, when I was in,

when I was in them glow-ass, crazy. Catch it, I wouldn't be dead, like, it's too much pressure. Like, getting some head was still kind of taboo, all the, like, didn't nobody want to be known as a dick sucker. So they used to have to sneak and suck dick in, but if you got the head, though,

the head was more so like, If you got the pussy, you got the pussy. But if you got her to get the head too, she liked you for real. You got some head? They're like, yeah, man. I made to put a mouth on it. That's like, what?

I made to put a mouth on it? How you knew that? Me, you're acting like, that's a spell. How you do that? You were like, hey, and that great part of it would change my life, because I got the head first. Yep. I knew the pussy was up.

You got to get pre-approved for some head, like getting a car on. You got to see if your shit going to go through or not. Yep. Okay, when you get your first raw? Oh, probably when I was in about, now that might have been about 10 or 11, correct? I think it was 10th grade. That's why I said 12th grade with my girlfriend,

so that was my first row. Because, you know, we were hitting rubbers. I got, I got the wrong. When I was like, it cool, me you take the motherfucker off because you're my girl? Niggins. When that initial, two, three strokes, my eye got so goddamn big, boy.

They ain't even mad if you go back up and get some more. Matter of fact, go get some more for me and you. That's how it should be. You feel, be like, go crazy. But I remember my nephew called me one day, he said, but they passing out rumors at the mall. Come in, he was on the same time. He had like, like, they were passing out money.

I was born somewhere else. Where? I was born in Joey back there. Oh, you thought you was a gradie baby? I thought it was a crop alone, baby. Oh. George back, right there by four. So that explains the love of the craziness.

Oh, right there. Right there. They're joined. You know, they should have been dying, no, no. It did? Yeah, they should have done. The crazy part about it, when I got stabbed up, at the same hospital, nigga.

Oh, that's good. They had your birthday records. Yeah, that definitely did have my birth record. And the crazy part about it is, the doctor was so good. The surgery department over there was so good. They don't get no credit. Excuse me.

I went through pretty. like it was decent, how they treated me over there, bro. Like, I didn't feel like I was going through something, even though I knew I was going through something. My surgeon went great. The goddamn, the way the nigger cut, like, the niggins can't even really see the scar because the niggas sold me up so good.

I'm like, bro, you're not dead dead before. And by them niggins, like, when I was going through my recuperation stage, the nurses and shit, they were just on me like, hey man, you're gonna be an eye, y'all. Like, you fucked up, like, they were coming the street, but your personality, we like your personality. A lot of people don't be like this in here. They'd be down and shit.

Like you up. You just got out of service. You got 27 stitches and you up. It's gonna be all right. You had 27 all together? Yeah, 27. I had Sam over here, 10 over here. Five in my head.

Sal me in my back. God damn. My partner had a hundred. You had the wrong way going on all the way down here. That was right here. Yeah, damn. Y'all was fighting some Jamaicans. Don't fucking crazy.

They're really with some kids. That won't underestimate nobody. I'm like, listen, man. Be respectful, but if you know what I come with it, you can't cry about it. You feel me? That was one situation where I had, like, I went back early when I was like,

bro, you, I'm not blaming you for me getting stabbed. You were my friend that needed my help. That was what Ajax says so happened. come with that shit. But I'm man enough to be like, hey, bro, I can do that shit again, bro. Like, this one no facade. It wasn't no like, oh, what the fuck? Like, I don't know what, come with this shit.

It just won't happen. I had an experience the other side of the shit where I'm like, okay, this is the part of the shit that don't know about to talk about. Everybody always win. But what about it when you lose? Do you know how to win even when you lose? This is how old I am. I'm sitting here thinking like, damn how much it that costs.

at that cost. There had to be a hell of a bill. And that the crazy part about it. They expect the niggin to pay for this. I mean, they got paid for it already, at that time when they ain't had that? You got to go to a surgeon tomorrow and they wake up when you got a $19,000 bill. Like, you can take these things out of me.

Yeah, I don't know how much they can take that shit out. What the fuck y'all stitch me up with that shit? You got nothing cheap? Y'all, what the fuck is this? It glue my shit back. Well, whatever you do, boy, give me some of the adhesive. I sit still for a week straight.

Yo, trip it, bro. But that showed the other part of the game where he was like, the health care game. Yeah. Like, a lot of people don't understand that health care game. You know that. Ambulance ride, that's $1,000, boy.

every time they're going to get you. When you hear that whee-e-he's a that she's saying they count that money. That's a $1,000 ride. That was the first Uber. You know what's crazy?

A lot of people have been taking Uber to the hospital instead of the ambulance anyway. I don't blame it. Uber going to get that cookie anyway. And it cheaper. A lot cheap. About $33. You got to keep your mouth closing.

And just tell him, hurry up. I need to get that up. That was, I need, that was my first time it was being rushed to the hospital. When I got rushed, it was a 20-minute ride. And then when we got there, it was just, I was for real. It was just like, you just got to go through the motion of this shit.

Like, getting rushed to the hospital, we're going to. They're going to, they're serious too. Oh, stir and still. Oh, my goodness, he's losing too much blood. Are you trying to get up? They push you back down. You're like, fuck, nigga, I'm eating.

get to the hospital, they track it to the emergency room. I'm talking about the other emergency rooms, like right before we had surgery. Like, niggins are died in their room. You feel? You know you, you fucked up when you get to the hospital and they were like, yeah, take your clothes off. Yeah.

If you had to get naked, you're finding to be in. You got to go in that little room, like the room that you, hey, man, it's the room where we put motherfuckers in with this shit severe. Like, you can't be out there with them. You got to come in the back and go in that little big old square room. So, hey, me, my piling. We all in these motherfuckers, they're working on our head.

Like, there's five-six nurses on him, five-six nurses on me. They're cutting these shirts, soap, and they get all of them. We need to pass this up and rap this. I'm just sitting there. I'm just like, first thing cut in my mouth, sworent and everything. I tell the white nurse, I said, hey, take a picture of this shit. She said, what? I said, I ain't gonna be able to explain this shit to nobody.

Like, I'm looking at my hand, open, this shit, open. This shit cut up. I'm like, look, I don't think anything I ain't know how this shit looked, but I felt because I ain't know I was stabbed back there because I had my, the shirt was on the wound. So when the shirt came off the wound, all the out went through my,

through the wound. So I was like, oh shit, what that is back there? I said, hey, look, hey, little, look back here. She lifted to the door. She was like, oh, ooh, that's ugly. We got to pass this up now. So that was an inch away from my lung. Damn.

You feel what I'm saying? So when I asked the, the nurse, I was like, hey, take a picture of this shit. She would like, I don't, I'm not supposed to say this, but that's kind of sexy that you want me to take pictures of your wounds right now. You know what I'm just like, nah, I ain't able to explain this shit to nobody. So I was like, take a picture of this shit. She took a picture of this in my head. So when y'all see the pictures of my hand and shit, but it was a real moment, real life.

That shit was fucked up. Don't talk about it. It was so fucked up where I just had to, it was never a moment where I'm in there like panicking on some shit. Like, I would literally just sitting there, taking it all in, like, damn, buddy, this shit, that how they doing it? I'm like, bro, this shit is what you look at on World Star, my nigga. Yeah, adrenaline still pumping. It's too much, like, you can't, I'm like, you can't fake this,

and then now once I realize what's going on in my head, and I'm like, oh, shit, my partner, he had to be rushed in the helicopter. So now I'm like, I'm alive. I'm already at the hospital. I'm just like, where he is? What going on with him? I ain't going to know until I talk to somebody over there or on them tomorrow. So that's what's going on.

Is he alive? Because I just saw what happened to him on the scene. You feel me. So, you know, it's just, when you've been through real-life experiences, like you know what come with that, that shit, we're like, hey, buddy, you know one before you know what, you're going to put somebody through that, or you're going to be like, or you're going to do that?

Are you ready? Are you prepared? Are you going to blame somebody? Is you going to man up? You're going to man up. to take it on the chin, I often turn up. But that was the same year, I got famous to start doing the vines. So I got to stay earlier that year in July.

I started doing the vines in November. So in some of them early from November to all the way like February and shit like that, I couldn't move my hand. You'll never see my earlier video, you'll never see my left hand. You'll always see me posting this shit, but you'll never see me move your hair. This bitch couldn't work, they couldn't move. Damn. You see what I'm saying?

Like I couldn't even record with my left hand. Now I can record with my left hand. But my first year and a half, I couldn't even record with my left hand. I can only record with my right hand. So you'll never see my left hand. Damn. So, you know, when you, I'm super grateful. I don't know what come with this shit.

I don't have my experience. You feel me? Some niggas might got worse your experience. This is a nigga right never. Like, man, I got shot nine times. And cool, buddy, but we went through the sign process. You know what that shit feel like? You feel what I'm saying?

That shit don't mean nothing, did you learn from it? You feel me? It's the same bad, bro. It's the same morphine. It's the same machine that breathe for you, breathe for me. You feel what I'm saying? What you learn from? Boy.

Alright, man, don't be no fool. Hey, man, a near-deaf experience and change everything. It better. It better. If you don't, it's gonna, you're gonna get your lesson though. Yeah. But I was going to turn up, though. Because I knew what came with that shit.

I said, damn, I got to be a little bit more savage. I got to be a little bit more aggressive. I can't let that shit happen no more. I said, if I was just a tad bit of grossing, because we was aggressive, she's not aggressive enough. Shit! Y'all ain't brain no shit. I mean, yeah, we, we, we, we were just tripping.

We out there thinking we were. You're about to have some fun and they weren't like. You know what I'm saying? You think you're about to go out of that. Like, oh boy, stop. That shit was like, that shit changed. That shit changed like this. So all them had knives, huh?

All they had had some knives. Damn. That shit came around nowhere. I ain't know I was getting stabbed up. I didn't even know I was stabbed up. I didn't even know I was stabbed up. I just knew I was losing blood and I was losing energy.

Like, you know how you're like, Oh, you know, they were like, oh, what's up? Like, you feel, man, like, I can't see you for him. Because when he hit me in the head, I got hitting the head with a pole. So after he hit, ping, ping, ping, ping. It was like, like, he was just on top of my head,

like, ah, gah, it was like, I was fighting, and he was like, bha, bha. That motherfucker said, p, but he hit me, I heard it, that muckoo. But when he said, pf, but when they said, all the, all the, The blood hit me. Now, if you ever in a fight, bro,

I didn't have been in plenty of fight. I don't have had my lip busted from the inside, but like, you don't know. You know what I'm saying? Like, a nigga hit me, and you know what I'm saying? I kind of like, bit my lip. Like, you don't know that. Like, when you see your nigga punched,

and you see the nose, like, blood come out of here, no, you're like, oh shit, he's losing. You know what I'm saying? You see blood, you lose it. Man, when that blood touched my goddamn nose, bro. I instantly got, like, you know how you know, it's like, we entered another level of the fight now.

It's like, ooh, you got me bleeding, nigga? Oh, and now it's like, it's like we're back, let's go! Like, ah, we're hitting now, so it's like, ah, how's that dick? I'm like, ah!

So when I'm trying to pick my pants up, but I can't grab my pants, I can only do like this, but I only know I'm stab that in their hand and in hand already. That's why I ain't got that upper motion. So I'm trying to grab my pants, but I can't grab my pants. So in my hand, I'm like, bro, I'm losing.

He got me bleeding, and then the niggas slit got me paralyzed. I can't grab myself. I'm gonna go. Like, I don't know about child, but I'm going to get the fuck up out of here. I got to pick this shit out for me now. We came together, but me in the business, I'm getting fucked up over here. So I got to go. So I get up out of that, lo.

You picked the wrong negative fight. I got to go. Go on. I'm running in the phone. I'm like, oh, well, I'm like, all right. I'm like, that part, you know, away from these people. Yeah, you picked the wrong nigga to fight, man. All I hear, yeah, damn, LaJun, look at your hand.

I've seen this one. I kind of got a glimpse at this one, and that shit would kind of open, like, hotly. I was like, oh, shit, what the fuck, man, oh, shit, okay, okay, okay, okay. They was talking about this hand. They were like, look, John, look at your hands. I don't kind of, like, got some of the blood on my hand. Now, look at that beat, bro. When I look at that bit, I immediately had to see that.

I would just like, oh, shit. What the fuck? I only know when I just looked at. That ain't my hand. Give me another hand. Let me see somebody else's hand. I'm like, let me look at them again. What at me?

God. Oh, you know how that shit. Oh, God. God. What we have some shit? Oh, we got to get up out of the boy. We got to get a part of the boy. Hey, you know, see those shit like this.

Oh, man. Oh, my God. Bro, this shit funny is some motherfucking. Oh, shit. Oh, my goodness, nigga. Oh, we still got the boom, though, don't know. What we're doing, y'all? Boy, this nigga said, though, this ain't.

Oh, this ain't my hand. Show me somebody else in. I've seen it. I've seen it. Yeah. You posted it a couple times, usually when they're around the time that it happened. Boy, that shit was fucked up, boy. Yeah, y'all, niggins, man.

Y'all, me tell you something. I'm gonna. Who got stabbed with this, man? You got to jump right back to the Stewart. Cause we still won. Even though we lost that battle, we won the one. Am I good? All right.

You got to put the mic back home. So let me tell it, now the story gets deep. So when I hear folks say, huh? I go back outside because I'm thinking they're tripping because of me. I see my partner staggering. He's like there. You feel me? He hit the ground.

So I'm like, why don't that? I ain't goddamn, you know, I'm turk. I'm like, I know it ain't not, but what we do, what we're doing? What are we doing? He's on the ground grass before he, bro. He's like, he, he, he, he, he, he, did that niggas just say, for like, nine seconds?

And then he'd come back. But that required, I ever seen Earth, like, ever seen, you know what I'm saying, like, everybody would just, like, tuned in, and it was like, everybody had to share that experience experience right there in that moment, you feel what I'm saying? And they were like that, my joke, why my partner died, come back. You see what I'm saying?

We all get rushed to the hospital. Make a long story short, he in the coming for like four days, four, five days. I see this nigga plowed up to so much shit, bro. He plowed up the so. You ever looked at somebody at a hospital room? You see them in the bed. But there's so much shit that's in the room. that's plugged up, that's crossed all through that motherfucker.

It's tubes and shit, yeah. It's tubes and lines and shit. And it's just like, well, I remember us going down here, bro. Like, I remember the moment of us going down now, you feel me? Like, all that playing through my head, like, they called me, we went down now. I'm just like, look at the outcome, bro.

But we got the ass end of the stick. We don't even know if he gonna make it. You see what I'm saying? He's just so having God save their life. He'd get out to coma, he gotta be in the hospital for 30 days, you know, recuperating and shit. But we learned from that shit though, like, we learned that not to be playing.

And we weren't even playing in them. We were dead too. And we didn't even taking it like, yeah, we got stabbed. You know why we got to stop? Because we was on y'all at. Yeah, and we was on that. And get with.

We're still on the head. Like, it didn't do nothing. It just, it made us more smarter to be like, bro, stop playing with people. If you're just not going to go on in. Is you going to take it down? Or you're coming out here to do this? You're coming out of here to do this.

But you need to be ready to do something else out of this too, though. Because everybody ain't trying to do this. See what I'm saying? Like, yeah, go on get that out of the way. But if you're going to get that out of the way, you need to go ahead and get this out of the way to America. They can't put you somewhere else. Well, I don't been in the situation, man.

Listen, bro. I said, I knew we were feeling gonna walk their ass. We were from, I knew it. I told my nephew, I said, Hey, fool, I'm gonna be right back to who's a nigga ass. I called that nigga, I said, Hey, bro, I'm about to see you a pitch. And they called me back.

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

Adventure should never come with a pause button. 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 you, They're 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.

But now, bro, because when I got out of the hospital, I ain't going to allow everybody having any little moments and shit.

like, damn, you know what I'm saying, shit is. I saw a nigga with no hand. Coming out the grocery store with a lug, and he had three bags of groceries on that bonfunker. I said, how do I look complaining? This is because I can't be the number one. And this nigga got a nub with three bags of groceries. I'm not feeling complain, gang.

He probably wish he had fingers. He probably don't, because he didn't knock the fuck at somebody with that nub before. That ain't a number of bone, game. That's what I'm saying. man, bro. You don't get no head. You just got a wrist. You get the talking crazy if you want to. Go out of hell out of the guy.

I'm going to disconnect your shit with that wrist. You better hit him right though. It ain't number of wrist. Oh, let's bro. It rib-bone. Wrist bone. They hit around the name, ribbon. Rist is in the house.

Rists is in the house. That thing is stupid, bro. Don't count, bro. That's crazy, bro. You know it. I ain't gonna say that. That's too far. You know he did it. He did it.

He did it. He did it. He did it. He did it. He did it. He did it before. He's stupid. I'd be thankful.

Let's say pray it up, bro. Take your experiences and your life experiences experiences and lessons my niggins don't look at them as like accolades my niggas because they accolades and experiences and lessons learn from them now they are uh uh remembrance of the shit that you are capable of doing they don't define you especially if you ain't learned from it if this define your uh your uh your your aggressiveness and you like yeah i'm um but you lost they got the upper hand So what that mean? You're a lose again.

Oh, I ain't trying to lose again. Damn. That's why we're gonna stay winning. Stay paid up. You did? That's a hell of a story, Ning. Okay. Well, in 2013 was the hell of a year.

Okay, I guess, I guess now, and my daddy got on Christmas Eve. Damn. Now, I'm doing them to come at that point, too. So my dad died, that was just like, I could test what it's going to be like, is you going to do it, is you going to use your dad as an excuse to jump right back into the street? I was so ready. I was like, man, I'm going to keep doing this shit.

At this point, I ain't have nothing else to do. You sure what I'm saying? So I was like, I'm just going to keep doing this shit, I guess. But I could easily use that as an excuse and be like, oh, shit, I'm going to go, man, fuck is funny shit. I would have missed out on all this shit, bro. Y'all would miss out on all this shit. Y'all ain't need no DC on Fly as a comedian.

I probably would have made it with rapper, probably. Sure. But this shit came out and that shit moved the music. Wait, y'all hear the music. I can still do that, but this shit happened so fast. Man. This was what I was supposed to be doing. God made me to do that.

And when I did that, I'm just trying to be successful long as I was unsuccessful. Unsuccess. Sorry, I did the math. In 43, I beat my number. I'm trying to. I'm 32, I got, I got a goal, I'm trying to hear.

43 to be, now I did, 22 years. 22 years of beating the 21 years, that was just crazy. Well, listen to hip, champ, I've been doing it with 19 years. Uh-huh. It's gonna happen. That's fine. Because I remember the night I went to the comedy's thing. And that 19 years ago, uh, uh, uh, my, uh, my youngest son, he's 16, but I've been doing it 19 because we went down there.

They were doing, uh, open mic. So you were barking on your year. But it wasn't no open mic. Oh, hell yeah. I didn't do so much shit with the comedy, man. So you weren't barking on your year? Oh, yeah. I started doing comedy when I was 22.

Oh, 22 years? 22 years. So you don't pass. No, you're almost there. No, I'm almost there. Right. Almost. It feels good though, but that's longevity though.

It's like 19 years of a different life. Yeah, man, that's a whole month. Damn that, damn that 20 years. You see what I'm saying? And that's what I'm saying. I'm glad that I got to do it. I'm glad I started doing comedy at 22. Right.

Especially with like taking it serious at 22. Right. Because it set the foundation up and got all the bullshit. because I spent my whole 20s just focused on doing comedy. Right. And I ain't really, I ain't, you know, I ain't do nothing crazy enough to fuck my life up. Right, right. But it was a whole, I like, literally had to do that shit all by myself, though.

Struggling, figuring out shit, just putting plays together. Because the first time I got on TV, I quit a job. I was like, nah, I can't be on TV and at the same time. Right. enough to be on TV, I could just be on fucking TV, and that'll be my job. But then it's just like, it ain't worked like that. Now you gotta really try to get up every day, make some calls, find a show somewhere. Even if it ain't the day, just to fill in the holes.

Man, I didn't did so much while. I didn't have shows where we drove from Atlanta to Michigan and back. Wow. In a car. I gotta get the money, man. man. In a car. I gotta go get it.

Nigger, in a car. I know, nigger. Ten hour, bud. A nigger do anything for some money, bud. Not anything, but if it makes sense, in a car. I'm talking about. Well, we're gone. That's how we got to get through it.

You got to ride with a nigger, nigger. Right. You only know that she's going to make it ten hours. What if you don't like the music they like? It's a lot of music. What if they don't have to pee when you have to pee? Right. You don't want to get out and get the we got to order I'm not your child

Come on, bro. That's why I'm saying, bro. I respect the game because I did had to go out there for like a year and a half and work on this shit. work on this shit. But I also had a nigga like y'all that fuck with me because I ain't step on nobody told like y'all didn't trip y'all ain't care y'all I'm just like I don't get what I fuck and plus I had value so it was like I if he gonna work on the craft don't hate on me young nigga said let him do anything. Amen. Just let him do a thing. Well you know what line that as you didn't did it you know how

fucking hard that shit is. It's super hard because there's a lot of of shit that it don't matter who you're around some shit you can't be told you just have to do it you got to work on it no matter even if you say for you go viral when you get the buzz right but you ain't funny for real I'm telling you you not that's the thing like you not you ain't did nothing that's it's different niggins it's different it's different it's different it's different from doing club shows

Right Seattle Comedy club Theater Arena But it's like A lot of motherfuckers Can rock a club

They can rock A arena What your arena set Look like Can you do it At the same level Now you gotta rock These motherfuckin

10,000 people Like you've been rocking 300 Talk Do you even have The timing for that You even know How to utilize the stage Yeah what's your show

Look like show. What is? What's it like? You got to do something. You're funny, but he didn't gave me no show. You thought that you just being a great writer and you're going to come out, but that ain't enough when it comes to this.

You got to be a performer. Performals. Performants grasping the people. Now, your shit work. You got to find out where it works here. How can you connect with all these people in this amount of time? Right. Because you ain't even, you ain't.

You're like just 10 minutes. Right. That's a long-ass time when you got 10,000 people looking at your hands. What I'm talking about, and they're like, then. And the great part about you see the majority of the people not laughing versus people that laughing, but you hear everybody laughing. You're like, but damn, why that nigga ain't poor with it? Let that first joke not work. That first one don't work is over with.

Hey, man, a nigga don't understand how powerful the intro is. The intro is what sits you off to even get to where the fuck you want. to go. You don't want to fight in the middle. Your intro got to be so banging that bitch, you're going on autopilot. That's why it's like, it's like flying an airplane, right? The takeoff is probably the most nerve record to the pot. When he finally sets up, he hits a button where the airplane drives itself, but that's what comedians do. Bitch, you don't know if it's turbulence, get in the way you need to go. You need to take off and make this shit as smooth as possible.

But you got to make sure you're ready for some turbines. You got to make sure you ready for the turbulence now, because the wind go blow. You got to grab them up. You got to grab that wheel. Y'all bitch and shut the fuck up back there. Hey, man, it's macho. Y'all, all that loud talking shit, y'all got to play shirking.

Hell, no, you make that shit in order, boy. Let me get that shit in order. But that shit is fun. It's fun because as a performer, you damn this, you get in the last out of, you're like, y'all like this. Well, if you like this then, you're going to like this then. And now I'm opening up. Like, you know as a comedian, bro, when we get into that bad, like, when we get into a certain bag,

it's a feeling that we all trying to reach every show. Like, we don't perfect the act where we know that as a professional, we know we're going to do good. would. But it's in this some nights where it's like, yeah, we was in the realm. Like, we chase that every time we go on stage. We chase that, that, that feeling. You feel me? I might have done a great show, but we know there's something that we really didn't get a chance to tap into when we left the stage. But it was like, why you like that shit? I'm like, well, I ain't even get a chance to put the hoop, whop, bam, on that bitch, for real, for real. Right. You feel, I just perfected it enough way I know you're going to like it, but, bitch, I ain't even have enough time to put the, put the little whamon that I've been working on.

Because I'm trying to see how y'all, you know, I ain't even do my move. I'm coming all like, left a whistle on that bitch. Wait that, wait to the bar. I got some fun. But that shit did be the love of the gay. I love this shit. Because, like, even right now, like, when you write a new set, like, I got to go on stage and do a whole new hour. From the top to the bottom.

So I'm backing that day. Well, I'm like, damn, this shit feels like 2014 again. You feel, me, but it's fun to figure out what work. You feel what I'm saying? Because I ain't been in their bagging so long. I've been doing it here and now, but it's like, I ain't get a chance to go to the workout room and so long because, you know, that's where you really get your bread and butter.

You get your bread and butter for the workout, man. I know. That's why I do so many. I miss your room, man. I used to love coming to cats. You're going to come to cats. You're going to find a joke tonight. Like, it was specifically, like, I got one the night.

Yes, I've been working on it. I've been trying to figure that she that, and I got it. You can work on it, they can't. There he's going to put you up before I don't need. You want to go up? Hell yeah. Man, these niggins out here. Where are fucking me?

They weren't. They weren't serious. You can tell, because they're still there. Right. I wouldn't come along with a lot, man. I'm trying to. I see him on tape. Man, I got my little pot of him, man.

He's been going to go. But anybody who ever did comedy and tell you, it's like, it's a, it's a. It's another tier of comedians who just do this shit just because it's fun. Right. They're going to wake up and go to work tomorrow and then hit the same spot tomorrow night. They got a spot to do every night. It's a hobby.

You do it as a profession. They like the free drinks in the wing, man. They like, they like what come with it with. Just to be able to talk shit with me. They like the access. They're like the accents. They're like that little lifestyle living. I'm like, man, that shit ain't talking about nothing.

But they good. They like that point. They got good jobs. And they do real shit. And they just go beat me. But them the type of, that's how you have a network as a comedian, bro. Right. Because you'll have one partner who this nigga be the manager at the motherfucking rental car place.

Man, I can get you my family discount. You up there to 10 and drink. Man, then you meet another motherfucker who worked for the Adeline night. You got a buddy pass. And even being another motherfucker who can plug you in to the corporate side of their job. And now they got you performing at the Christmas party for $7.50 right quick. Like, the network is where the money is. The crazy part about it, we bless the name to have this as an actual occupation.

I did a show. I did a show. At a nigger house party, bruh, on the steps. On the motherfucking steps, real. It was his birthday party at his house. Somebody wanted me to do a week. Hell no. I wonder what they did.

My partner was telling me about this one spot in Detroit where this nigger used to throw a comedy show in his basement and he would pay comedians to come and perform in any. In the basement. It was an OG in Detroit, bro, a long time ago, early, like 2015, man, that nigga paid me to be his friend. You were telling you about that, that niggins just paid you to come up there and kick it with him. He just paid me to come up there and kick it with him. He was an old school player, sleepback, black trench coat. And it was like, 30, niggas over 50. They looked like, man, they with them.

Trench coat in Detroit. I can't make this stuff. All the niggles old is fuck. 50 plus. I think that's why all the comedians love that movie, janky promoters. We didn't all deal with a whole bunch of junk-ass promoter.

But if I would have did it as me, you would have told me to act like it was somebody else. And you ain't say that. But then when I hacked like it was somebody else, you said, be you.
