Look at how differently you pour a big one on that second. Well, you're a guest. You don't have to chug it. I think it's probably in the history of the the world if you consider the timing of transportation vehicles you know as cities rise and fall it's probably the worst city in the history of the world at the worst time sprawl pollution, homelessness, planning, homelessness, and just overall planning the way you just look around how big it is yeah it's bad.

And the public transit. It's probably the worst designed city in the history of the world. I don't know. I agree. It's pretty dog shit. And boy oh boy do I love calling it home. You know the one thing I like about it is everybody left. I like that everybody left.

Everyone left LA and now it doesn't feel like, don't you think it feels like calmer and slower and I feel like we're cleaned out a little bit. It's nice. I've only lived here after everyone left. Oh that's right you don't know the difference, child. McCone McCorkery, we were talking about names before we started the show and I need to bring up another thing but the prof said to me that McCully Culkin's full name was McCully McCully Culkin Culkin. He changed, McCully Culkin changed his middle name to McCully Culkin. I was like, that's bullshit. So if you want to read the full name off, it sounds like. It sounds like McCulley, McCulley, Culkin, Culkin.

McCulkin, McCulkin. No, no, McCulley, McCulley, Culkin, Culkin. Yeah. Because his name was McCulley Carson Culkin. He changed from Carson to McCulley Culkin. And he did it in 2018 after holding a vote through his website to choose a new middle name. That won the vote. He announced April 2019 the name was completed. twenty eighteen uh... after holding a vote through his website to choose a new middle name winning did that won the vote all he announced a bro two thousand nineteen

the name was a little uh... completed in legally changed it sad sad you think it's that's michael do you think that's m j that did all that stuff uh... that made him changes he he he he he got him good i don't know yeah i think it was you think you got it i think i'm gonna get out Good, I think after I think after Home Alone 2 lost in New York came out. It was all down too much. Yeah Michael just had to have it. Yeah, and he ruined that kid's whole life. You saw the the the

Documentary on it on the Michael Jackson. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh man when the details came out and I was like Oh that multiple people said he likes to like bend like yeah Yeah, I was like absolutely. He's you know, yes the word he did for sure first of all the fact that everybody was like What's so abnormal about having sleepovers with kids? Oh god, and you're like what? What what's normal? What's what could be normal about it? And the fact that the parents were just like oh what could be normal about it. And the fact that the parents were just like, oh yeah, go sleep with your hero. Go sleep in the same bed as your hero.

These parents should be locked up. That's distorted. They should be locked up for the rest of their lives. That's crazy. That's the parents' fault, yeah. You know, whatever. Anyway, on a good news tip, you're in LA, you're shooting. Yeah, haven't killed anyone yet. Well, bad aim. Aim right, baby Yeah, but you said that what I found interesting before we started rolling was

Clips not in full videos anymore. The music video is dead Do you really think forever? It'll never come back? I'm gonna still do him I'm gonna waste my money on him because I love him so much Yeah, and I love to spend time on like art and something that no one's ever seen And I think it's what the thing'm, you know, best at. It's kind of one of my calling cards. Live show, music video looks. Your live show is phenomenal.

We went and saw the live show in Durham or Raleigh. That was random as hell, bro. You guys really uplifted me, man. I was in the middle of nowhere. I was on a stretch of places I've never been like three weeks in on a tour. And then you just hit me up like, what's up? I'm like, what? I was like, we're coming through where? Yeah. Where we Yeah. We were in Durham and we went to Raleigh.

Yeah we took an uber down to Raleigh. That lady had a heart attack. Yeah a woman had a heart attack at your show. She didn't die though. Before the show. It was a heart attack or a seizure? Did you know? Oh was it a seizure? I don't remember. There was a lot of commotion. A lot of commotion and the girl said she does this all the time which was maybe the funniest. Her friend goes she does this all the time which was maybe the funniest her friend She does this all the time. She's fine Had to been yeah, but she was you know They've certainly they weren't sober the one girl that they had obviously gone out for some drinks before the show But the fact the girl was smoking right she was so like dismissive to the paramedics. She was smoking. She's like she's fine Like we need to check her vitals

Following her tongue. Yeah, take her tongue out of her bestophagus. I was like, is that your best friend? That's like the worst. She was so over it. She was like, oh God, I want to see the show. Showing off again, just taking up all the attention. Yeah, and she's prettier, bitch. If you have epilepsy, maybe don't go to a show. Don't go to your show.

Almost all fucking shows. Come to my show. If you have epilepsy, come to my show. Come to his show. If you have Apulepsy, come to my show. Yeah, come to his show. I need it. I need more fans. Now, but you know what? You're a visual light, you're a visual artist.

So the light, there's a lot of lighting changes, sound, smoke, there's all sorts of stuff. We're going crazy. If you can't handle that, yeah, that's, you gotta walk away. Yeah. What's it, do you, what, when you were a kid, do you remember the most like memorable hip hop show

that you went to as a kid? I wasn't going to many, bro. You didn't go to hip hop shows when you were a kid? No? I wasn't going to many. You didn't go to hip-hop shows when you were a kid? No, I didn't have any money. I was really broke. You didn't sneak in and do the evil shit? You know, a friend of mine took me to see B.C. Boys and A Tribe Called Quest at the Target Center. Those guys together? Yeah.

Target Center is where the Wolves play? Yeah. Go Wolves. Not anymore. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. Well, go to bed. Wolves, go to bed. I'm proud of you. Get some rest. Get a whole season of rest. Go to a whole off season of rest. Yeah, I'm proud of them. We've had a hard time. The worst sports team in the history of all sports.

Is it really? No, it can't be. The most losingest team of all time? It can't be the Wolves. No, no chance. No way, look it up. What's the most losingest sports team of all time? There's got to be something else that's way in the middle of there. Well, maybe not after this year, but before I mean, yes, It's us. No way, look it up. What's the most losing a sports team of all time? There's gotta be something else that's way in the middle of there. Well, maybe not after this year, but before, I mean, yes, it's us. That pits pain. You could have had a good run. You'll come back.

Oh yeah, for sure. So Tribe and Beastie at Target Center. Yeah, and that was like my first show. Floor or seats? I think like, you know, a couple seats. Yeah, a couple seats. You know, I was too young to get on the floor. I was really young.

And I never went to rap shows. I was on a corner. I was battling people and getting into fights and shit. Really? You were not into them? I was really good. You were not a fan? No, I was just busy being a fucking numbskull.

Yeah. Yeah. That's so funny to think, though. It's like, I guess the assumption is that every performance artist is a fan, but the varying levels. But you kind of were just like, no, I'm it. It's me. I'm him.

I was, I was, no, we were just drinking. We were poor. And, you know, like, especially in high school days, like I wasn't going out to see any shows. Like I was throwing shows. I was like, let me try this shit right away. So no, no, uh, what are we talking? How poor are we talking? Are we talking poor, poor?

I mean, yeah, I was on, I was on government assistance for a long time. Oh, gov cheese. Section 8, housing and stuff like that, you know. I was in the hood, potthorn, you know. It was real. I was just on, um, um, the way back with Ryan Sickler. Love. And- It's my boy. We were going through all these pictures that I never thought I had. I thought I had no pictures of my childhood because, uh, my house burned down.

I thought it was gone. How'd it burn down? And then I just re- my dad burned my house down. Go on. Dad, you can't skip over my dad burned my house down. Let me tell you about photos. If you really want to get to like, my childhood is like super like mad toxic.

Well, give me a piece of it, Queen. Oh my God. Go off. Well, my fucking dad, he was like a preacher and like he was extremely charismatic, but he was also bipolar, so he'd come home from church and beat my ass. And then one day we had an argument, and he was chasing me around the table,

and I was like, fuck that, I'm 15, I understand that you're fucking crazy, even though this was before diagnosis, he was undiagnosed, you know what I mean? And then I ran away from home and then immediately he went to the basement and started my house on fire. Holy shit.

And burned that motherfucker down. You had nobody in it though. There was the animals were in that bitch. No! I lost my iguana, yeah. The dog was in that bitch. Okay, that one I'm concerned. And he jumped out the window.

Really? Yeah. Gangster dog. Yeah, and so then I came back to, you know, I just ran away cause I was hot. He jumped out the window. Really? Yeah. Gangster dog. Yeah. And so then I came back to, you know, I just ran away because I was hot. I went to my girlfriend's house who was just a friend. I wasn't young, but anyways, in the hood. And I was like, man, I was calling back.

I'm going to come back for dinner, whatever, what's going on. It was just a busy signal because it was a landline. You know what I'm saying? Beep, beep. I'm like, beep, beep, beep. I'm like, all right, well, like alright. Well. Just take me home whatever you know and then They dropped me off on the block, and there's just

tons of fire trucks fire engines. I'm talking like block was locked off And at this time pot of horn in the 90s bitch. I was like oh hell Yeah, someone got shot on my block again. I was like I'm gonna see a dead body like I was totally about that shit like oh Like is it my neighbor? You know I'm saying my neighbor was selling crack You know what I mean? Like and so I'm like what's going on? Damn? And so I started oh, this is close to my house Oh, this is real close and I started running and I was like, oh shit this smoke and I It was crazy. No, it was complete lawlessness They were running up and down there was fire bursting out of the windows.

And I went in my front lawn like, ah, and there were just firemen running around like not kicking me out. It was just, I was on my front lawn like I was in one of those fucking Vietnam movies. Like, ah! Ah! And yeah, man, it was, yeah, I mean,

we'd go for a long time on all this shit. Yeah, I have a crazy childhood Is he alive? No, he uh, he's dead. He ended it. No, he tried to commit suicide We found him in a bathtub up north in Duluth With his wrist slit there was blood on the ceiling, but he survived that someone walked in and he was like a nurse so he knew how to slit his wrists and but at that time I wasn't talking to him because Because you set your house on fire Yeah, you know what I'm not gonna talk to you for a little while yeah, but he's not with us anymore

So yeah, no, I never talked to him and then I was becoming like a man by the time I was like 18 19 I Needed like a car and shit. I was trying to get a job and there was one time where he Gave me his car like an old Cutlass Sierra or something You know just a little hoopty or whatever and I was just time where he gave me his car ago cutlass sierra or something who who fear whatever and i was a site i think you you know thank yous i go cable you know i love you both of my forever and then he ended up dying before i was able to like uh... hash it out with them you know it

or at least fight the motherfucker yeah you know i'm saying so i didn't have so i had so much anger after that shit income unresolved. The motherfucker just died of a heart attack on a stationary bike at the YMCA. No. Damn, that's awful. Yeah, he was stubborn as fuck.

He was stubborn as fuck. He was athletic as hell. He was stubborn as hell and he was having a heart attack and he was just like, fuck this, I'm gonna pedal through it. Sorry, bro. To have a heart attack, you're like, dad! I got a two-tenths of a mile left! Just to bucket out is crazy and moms is alive. Your mom is alive. My mom is the only reason I'm

trying to become a better person and things are okay in my life. She's a saint. See, that's good. You gotta have one of two isn't bad. Very good, yeah yeah. Sometimes people have two of two and they're both bad so at least you got one of two. Well you know my dad was amazing and I did spend like half like half the time with him. He would flip and he'd go crazy but he was you know manic. I don't know what the fuck it was. He was high, he was low. When he was low he snapped but a lot of times he was high. He was like the greatest, most charismatic, he was twice as smart as I am. Yeah. He was quick on the draw and he like ran a congregation. He was the fucking man. He was, you know,

very smart, brilliant, demons, just always wrestling in his head, trying to find religion, sketching in all these books and shit, like non-stop thinking. Probably needed to get out of his head a little bit more, you know? Yeah, but still, you leveled out just fine. Yeah. I mean, you're lucky. And then I got this matching tattoo. You hear about this story?

Slit wrist, talking about how... Well, you posted on your Instagram. I think I hit you up, because you accidentally cut it on a thing. Where were you? Yeah, I was in Atlanta. I spent the night in the Atlanta fucking Grady Trauma Unit downtown Atlanta over a Saturday night. Because they thought you tried to cut your wrist? Yeah, but I was like, it's an accident.

Yeah, and they were like, sure it is, man. Yeah, no, but then my doctors and surgeons were fans. They were like, oh my God, it's Prof. Like, dude, I'm such a fan. And I skipped the line and they like hooked me up. And then I could hear him like playing my music back In the rooms and talk to each other And then people were dying and screaming one guy came in hitting head with the bat died right?

Like I was in the hallway because the rooms were filled up you hear that kids You got to be famous if you're gonna get hit in the head with the bat you want to survive you got to be famous Okay, that's the only way so I think it's interesting that I have like a matching You know cuz he slit his wrists. Where- what was this on? It was a- it was on a bus. On my wrist. I was trying to change the shower head. And the fucking thing- I- I- I probably have a lawsuit if I really wanted. Like, it was leaking so I tried to screw it in and it- it failed. Not at the like the thread, but like the actual metal failed and it- and it just went- Like, and it was- I saved the shower head. it's sharper than a fucking razor and it's filled with

blood and it didn't it didn't feel like anything just went and it went super fine mist of blood everywhere and then I and then I looked at it and my dog it was like wide open pure pure, pure, no blood. All of the tendons, you know all these things? All these things. All the little tendons and the ropes and everything like that. Like I just went like this, I just went. Immediately.

I remember we were at a party in college at my best friend's school. I was at his school partying, and I was fucking around with a friend of ours, and we were all drunk having fun, and I picked up this chick and we're goofing around like we're just fucking around you know and we're drunk. Did you have a permission to pick her up? Yeah yeah it wasn't like we were fucking

around like we're all having fun and we fell she's laughing I think I was trying to like either she was trying to get on my shoulders or something we were drunk yeah and we fell together and she hit the side of her head on a glass on a on a corner of a glass table and we all kind of popped up and I hit I hit real hard because she was I was below her yeah and I was like damn fuck like I got a little fucked up and you know you bounce up real fast and then we turned I was like and it her ear was split in like half I mean you could have just it was like and all of us we're all just like it's it's not that bad.

She's fine, thank God, but I was, I mean, getting fucked up, fucking around though. Easiest way for that shit to go wrong. And you don't even realize, you're like, I had no idea how severe it was,

because I was like, oh, it's just, you know, it's a little cut, it looked like a little cut at first. Then she was. Because I was like, oh, it's just, you know, it's a little cut. It looked like a little cut at first. Then she like separated, I was like, ew, shit, my bad, so sorry, so sorry. No, but you know, that stuff doesn't freak me out, like the blood or the cuts or all that shit that doesn't freak me out.

And every time I go, either get blood drawn or any of that stuff, as I've gotten older now, when I look down at it, it does give me the creeps. It never used to. But now I'm like, I don't like that for some reason. Like even when I get an IV, I'm like, I don't like this. I don't know what I don't like about this. No, your veins are supposed to stay closed.

Lots to prove, yeah. But where, where, where we going with this? Oh, you going out? Oh yeah, so. Vlad. Yeah, we were talking about this back there and we were talking about this back there

We were at the rail station. It's something else now with the rail station on Southside and I'm there I really like to have like the OG I'm not gonna say any affiliates. I'm just gonna say you don't need to but the OGs on the streets You know and I love seeing them call them up like man. We're here like what's up? and I'm just sitting here with the with the homies and lads around and lad is a i mean i think you know she's in a june he's he's him he's respected yes yes he's reputable him on the block and i just i would my just light up on a simple alovar he treats me so well i

I'm like you sure like in the bar in the bar. Yeah. Yeah This is a while ago. Maybe yeah, it's a while ago, but I'm like, oh hell I'm not one you really want to here's an exit You really want to battle again? Cuz you know what I'm gonna do like him, you know, I have a reputation to like battling and shit like, you know And so he's like, yeah, just let's try it. Let's get right into it, you know, I have a reputation too, like battling and shit, like, you know. And so he's like, yeah, just let's try it.

Let's get right into it, you know? And I'm like, you first. Yeah, please. You know, and that's, that's a, so he's like, you know, just some fucking grade school rhyme, some elementary shit. And then I just step right in. I'm like, all right, little bitch. You know what I'm saying?

I don't know exactly any, like I, it was pretty, it was pretty foggy. Yeah. You know, I don't remember any like dope know exactly any, like it was pretty foggy. You know, I don't remember any like dope lines, but I had the whole circle being like, oh, because no one ever speaks to him that way. But I know him well enough and I'm like, are you ready for this? He said, yeah, let's go, you know. And so I just laid into him and I'm stepping up to him in his face like, and I don't, you know, he ain't used to that. But he was like, he was smiling, he was laughing, and I'm battling

with him and then all of a sudden just like a fist glancing blow, you know, it's not a knockout blow, I'm not like shook, but I'm like, they were trying, they missed a little bit and they were trying as hard as they can, like a red streak, or like my ear is red probably, like they tried to hit me as hard as they could. What's your instinct? You're like, who hit me? Who do you think hit you? What's your first thought when you're like, you know, who the fuck? That has happened to me so many times. I've been sucker punched in those circles. In those circles like, I don't know.

Who sucker punched me this time? I don't know. I'm like, oh, someone hit me. That's it. I'm not thinking like, let me, the power of deduction right I'm saying I'm like I'm like I'm fucking up a fucking a real shooter in the hood Like I'm not I'm not really thinking clearly and I don't know what's going on, right? And I look over and it's his It's his uh, it's his it's his wifey and um, no, it's not lad. It's Chris. It's Chris It's Chris cuz I saw him on the playground the other day Yeah, two like two months ago. I saw him. I'm like, bro. What's going on?

And I haven't seen him in years. What do you mean with like his kid out in the playground? Yeah, and his wife and I'm like, I'm like, I haven't seen you in a minute. She goes she's laughing She's like, yeah. So anyway, she she'd you know Try trying to knock me out. She's never heard anyone speak to a man like that. And she tried to knock you out. Yeah, fists, fists. But no signal, it's not like he was looking around mad. He was having fun.

Yeah, but the circle was going, oh, oh! She probably went in there and I was just like, in his face, you know. That is your wife, by the way. If it was your girlfriend at the time, that becomes your wife. If she tries to knock out the dude that you're battling, that must be marriage material.

That's how you really fall in love. So I'm on the playground and they're still together and I'm like, man, I'm just, good, genuine emotions towards him. You meet their kid and you're like, you know your mom. And then he just scooped her up and he was like, man, and she was kicking, she did not try to stop whooping my ass.

He was trying to stop her, whatever, and she was just coming, coming, and he found out, oh, she's not gonna try and stop killing this dude. So he just flung over his shoulder, we were right by the front door, he's like, all right, my bad, prof, like, oh, she's not gonna try and kill stop killing this dude. So he just flung his old over his shoulder We are right by the front door. He's like, I'm a bad prof like She laid her man getting in the feet kicking out the door like this Just a good old South Side. I've never been

Never been hit by a woman, but man, what a fun. Like that's a moment that you're like, look, this is great I got this that's gotta be the last time a woman's ever hit you or the first in the last No, the first was in Ramsey International Fine Arts Center I was a just a table of girls man I was this I was always the class clown just had a lot of sharp tongue fast jokes, and I said something to him Just I don't know what it was Maybe I don't know what it was you're just talking shit. Yeah, yeah, and they were throwing something at me You know and I said talk to him about them them and they were all on the same page, man

And they... Well you got jumped by a group of chicks Yeah, I got it. Yeah, it's about... man, it could have been five to ten black girls Stomping me on the ground like... Really? Yeah. I didn't want to like... What did you say? I wish I could have remembered that shit. You don't remember? I remember being like HA! Gotcha! Gotcha bitch! And then that whole table just stood up and yeah I wish I could have remembered that shit. You don't remember? I remember being like, Ha! Gotcha! Gotcha, bitch! And then that whole table just stood up and yeah.

And like I didn't think we were fighting, you know what I'm saying? I don't want to hit no girl, you know? So I just curled up like this. And I do remember them stomping on my head. Like, oh damn, they're all stomping me. So that was the first time and that's my first and last. There's probably a lot of shit in the middle. But getting stomped out by a group of girls

is actually another point of pride, by the way. Yeah, it makes you who you are. Yeah, you're more solid now than ever. Yeah. What's something I wanna tell you about, for people that don't know, by the way, our relationship was found through your music, which I love, and that's why we came and saw you live.

And the thing that's interesting about you is, I don't know how to say this the right way, but you really are a performer's performer, right? Like some people get on stage, especially in the world of hip hop, and they just kind of do their thing. And that's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. But truly dude, your show was so fucking fun

You let McCone's bitch ass get on stage fuck you crowd surf No, they were those stages too far away. It was too far away I wanted to but then everyone you were a bitch about it Yeah, you're a bitch about shook your head at me on stay. Well. They probably didn't want you on stage I said I was I was just shaking my head at you in general. Yeah, that's it about if you're crowd surfing. That's just them being disappointed in you. I was looking at you like who the fuck is this? You guys were like yeah, jump. We'll nod our heads when it's good to go. I look back and then everyone just shook their heads. Oh, sometimes there's like little fights or like some people are paying attention. Or there's something going on. Yeah. It didn't look like the crowd that would hold me up. Well, what is it? I saw

something, I just saw something that someone some girl crowd-surfed and and died like some girl jumped in the crowd and they dropped her ass that's fucking lit and I was like yeah I mean go out with the bang but where was that at she she there was like a and her parents are trying to sue or something what did it say? What is it? Crowdsurfed and died. Maybe it wasn't crowdsurfed. Maybe it was... Maybe it was stage... Maybe she was stage diving? What is it? Are you laughing?

I'm seeing a bunch of memes that said, 34 dead after Lizzo attempts to crowdsurf. Mm. Just seeing memes. I don't think this is real. By the way, Lizzo, shout out to Lizzo for watching herself on South Park. Did you see that? Yes.

And she... She kind of was like, giving it the respect it deserved, which I thought was... It was great. Fellow Minnesota. She could have been... But the whole bit was South Park was like... In my understanding, I found it really her reply pretty ironic. It was.

Because they were like, Yeah. She doesn't give a fuck now, and now these are the consequences to not giving a fuck. And then her reply was like, Ha! But I'm that bitch that don't give a fuck and I was like damn This is I'm just having my head going around in circles pretty subversive actually kind of like a joke Damn, I was joke of the joke is the joke I like stood still for like three minutes Yeah, had to shake myself out of it. Well the opposite version of that though is she sees someone criticizing her and then

Starts a war online with people being like, you guys are fucking, you know, fat phobic. But you know what I mean? Like that could have been the other side of it. So at least this one was more, hey man, this is like comedy satire, clearly. Well, it's South Park, you know. I know, but they've been able to get away with stuff that if we all say it, we're not animated. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Like they get more mad at you when you're not animated. It's legendary though, it's iconic. It's a you're not in there though it's iconic it's a badge of honor for a lot of people just a hundred percent to be to be referenced by it you know like has anybody has anybody talk shit about you that you respect that you kind of like publicly nah what the shit out of them never gonna

happen like if somebody put you in a song I've been wait I would I your bag battle rap days and shit I'm like I don't I don't really like drama no more Yeah, you know like I'm still kind of interested to see if it will come around like it would be a lot of fun Yeah, like the Kendrick and Drake shit was kind of so much fun. It was like the most fun We've had in hip-hop and so long. It was just so like enticing It's so good for the bit for the for the business of it all because it got so many people interested like my dad

Was like what's going on with that Drake guy? What's going on? He's in a thing with some guy? I was like, this is amazing. The fact that you even know that is incredible. I mean, he never listened to any of the shit. He would never pay enough attention. But he knows that his name is all over the media.

And it's, I don't know, it does something good for the hum of it all. I didn't see it coming, man. To tell you the truth, towards the end, I'm like, after the fifth or sixth response, like sixth song, sixth, you know you know Walker kept on coming we were on the road at the time and then you know warming up for these shows he keep on coming with his laptop like oh something's the breath fresh fresh in and I remember being like I don't really care no more like yeah I got old like these two dudes still bitching at each other like damn like you know but I was

wrong cuz it's that one that one that last one that well the last one was that one beat Drake with that shit yeah it was disgusting I would not see like Drake be kind of like oh then he went silent for a while I'm like did this dude just lose if I ever get in the rap beef I'm gonna call the other motherfucker a pedophile right away like you're pedophile pedophile pedophile that's it that's it by the way that song we talked about this one time. Do you remember this?

We talked about this, the history of that Delilah song? That it was, oh God, this is gonna make me so mad. Because there was something about it. It was written about some woman in high school or something like that. And he told her, I wish I knew the story of this could you find that? It says the song was written by time after meeting Delilah like a like a runner Renzo a nationally ranked American Steeple chase deep country runner. Yeah, yeah friend around 2002 Higgins stated

I thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen told her I have a song about you already Yeah, right. I the whole the whole story I don't remember but he wrote this song about this girl and I'm wrong but I think he told her I'm gonna write a song about you, wrote the song and then 20 years later got crazy, not 20 years but a decade later, got famous and that chick heard that shit on the radio and she's like holy fuck that was that dude wrote that shit about me because at the time they weren't, he wasn't, he was just a small band they were like a nobody and he was like I'm writing a fucking song about you

Like I didn't did the song go out and take ten years to hit no I don't think he I don't think they recorded the song till a decade later Do you know I mean like he met it'd be like meeting this girl in high school and then Starting to become an artist and then years later being like I might use that song that I wrote you know what I mean Like did you have you ever had anything that you've written? Where's from like that another time like that? Yeah, absolutely a lot of my shit is from the past Yeah, like I have I have a song that's like I perform live called heaven and That's not even like that's just me imagining that I fucked up really bad

And you know like I'm losing my relationships and stuff right a lot of it's just Imaginary shit a lot of stuff is from the past Some stuff from the future. Do you ever write a song that seems like it's just imaginary shit. A lot of stuff is from the past. Some stuff's from the future. Do you ever write a song that seems like it's about you, but it's about, like, you know, a best friend or someone else? Yeah, I do that shit. That's their eyes, but it's you telling it, and everybody buys it. Yeah, the different perspectives. I've told this on this show before, but it always makes me laugh that...

Do you remember Ben Harper? You know the artist Ben Harper? Do you know this guy? Yes. Burn One Down, you know that song? I'm gonna... It was like a stoner college kid anthem. Yeah, okay, okay. But whatever, but I got to know him and he's a really nice dude and then one day I asked him, I said, you don't... Smoke weed. You don't drink or smoke weed or anything. He's like, no, no, no, no. I was like, that's one of the most famous songs. Oh, I'm gonna burn one... Okay, I got you now. Yeah, and he was like, no, no,

that's about one of my best friends. But I told it as if it was me and I thought That the amount of fucking potheads at his shows are like what you don't burn like no smoking in the shows no smoking Yeah, guys, please don't smoke. Yeah, but it became such an iconic song for him unbeknownst like many artists a lot of people will say like yeah, that song was more popular like Kings of Leon yeah that song was more pop like Kings of Leon notably became that sex on fire song which is most certainly not their favorite song you know what I mean and that just happens where they're like yeah people love that song but I don't like do you play a song that you don't really love as much but the crowd likes

it more than you like it there was a song way back in the day that I don't even want to mention but I don't say I fucking will whatever yeah go ahead no it was back when I was doing mixtapes over other people's beats. That's how old I am. Yeah. And one song popped me off more than ever and that's the first thing that kind of lifted me up and thought I could make money off this shit and for like years that's all people wanted to hear and I just don't play it anymore. Did you know that? Yeah I knew it. When you made it you knew. It was my favorite. I was like this is my hit. It was my personal favorite.

Well, that's good, though. At least it was something you liked and not like... Sometimes we pop from things and something comes, like, you know... People cross their eyes and yell at me at the airport, I'm-bam-bam! They do that to me constantly. I'll be ordering food and some guy's like, BABY BOM! And I'm like, just a panini, a turkey panini to go. Yeah. It happens all the time, which is fine. It's just the thing you'd least expect sometimes.

So at least if you knew it. I don't fuck around and make music for other people. There's not a fucking, one song I've ever made in my entire life was I like, oh, what do you think they'll think of this? All my songs are for me. And I think that's how it should be. Some people it's not.

Yeah, but that's your style. But for me that's important to me. You can tell when you see you live, which I highly recommend. If you get a chance to see him live, you can tell that you really fucking give a shit. I'm touring this year, so regardless of when this comes out, I'll probably be something out. It'll be in a couple weeks.

This will be out. Yeah. So go see. How many cities are you doing? I'm starting with, by the time this comes out, I might already be out with Yellow Wolf. Those shows are already sold out. I mean, they're fucking out.

Are you guys good friends? I don't even need to promote. Are you close with Yellow Wolf? I used to be, I came up, well, no. I never was close to him. I used to hang out with him and chill. My career kind of started in Atlanta and we brushed shoulders there.

He was hitting some music videos of mine. We did songs together, you know what I'm saying? But I haven't seen him in a minute. Right. I didn't know if you guys were close. Sometimes it's like you, you know, two things that bump that you're like, we're cool, but we don't really talk or whatever. Nah, we've always been cool and cordial.

Scallywags. I think we're both like gross and white and we rap, but he's more like country and I'm more like blues, you you know I'm saying like if if if we're both appropriate and ass motherfuckers like you know I'm saying he's a little bit on the countryside I'm a little bit on the R&B or jazz. Which version of appropriation is more offensive? Oh man, I don't know. That's interesting. Probably me. Yeah, it's you. Yeah, you're closer to it.

But I mean you're both gross and white was actually true. Gross and white should be the name of the tour is fucking dope. What is the name of the tour? We're not really touring together. We're just like crossing streams. Doing shows. It should be crossing streams. Crossing streams is good.

Cause I'm on my own tour called the gallery tour and this whole art thing. Cause I paint and I'm selling my paintings and I'm doing live performances in front of my paintings and I'm selling these prints. It's complicated as fuck, but it makes a lot of money. Hell yeah. Ehhhh!

Forty and White! Crossing streams, coming to a theater near you. Buy a print. Are you selling also, you're selling just the prints? Are you actually selling the OG, the original? I'm selling the prints. I haven't sold the OG originals, so that's gonna have to be some sort of like,

I don't even wanna let go of them because they're up in my house and I love them. Okay, but one of them, one of them at the end of the tour, you have to sell and donate all the money to charity and then everything levels out in the world. You have to. That's not funny at all, but that's like the best thing, I fuck with that.

Yeah, you have to. I love that shit. The world has to get leveled out at some point. I love that shit. Yeah. And I'm like starting to get money where I'm like, dude, I think I've had enough. Like I needed like charity, like I have a calling to fucking this

This is no bullshit to like I'm not gonna laugh and cheers. Maybe I will after this Yeah, I Want to do that shit. I love Minneapolis. We fucking burned down and you know Quiet philanthropy loud philanthropy, whatever the fuck it is like I'm fucking with it. Yeah, I think it's a good move I think it helps. I think it helps you more than it helps even the thing that you're doing. I like to do a lot of it, but it's so funny, it's like if you talk about it, I'm always like, does it devalue it if you chat about it? And then I'm like, sometimes. But then I'm like, or does that raise awareness to what you're doing? It's such a fucked up,

like I'll do a little bit of both. It depends. I like to do small stuff a lot. Tiny stuff I think matters in a way that turns me on a little bit. Where I'm like... Did you give him a slip of a dollar bill every once in a while? Let me tell you something, the amount of money I've given that fucking piece of shit is disgusting. Is it disgusting how much money I paid you? Yeah. And how much money I've gotten you through other jobs? Yeah. Thank you sir. Thank you. I like that man. I like that. I think you got to keep doing good in the community. It helps out the whole thing.

Like it, you know, this is a lame story. I don't care. But last night the server, we went out for a business dinner with some people that we're working with now and they were very nice and they took care of the bill and the server was so cool and she was so nice and she kind of was just, I don't know, her rhythm was great. Do you know what I'm saying? Sometimes when you're like, she's putting up with our shit, she's very amicable of everyone's requests, and no one's being rude, but she just was flying with whatever

and something about it. You know, I broke, I just gave her a little bit, something extra on the way out, because I thought that'll be a nice thing for her night. Because I'm sure she got a good tip on the bill. And I was like, this will be just one more little thing that maybe will transfer over her energy into something good when she gets home, or the next day for her friends.

And you know, hey, I got broken off last night a little bit, and then I get to blah. There's two types of people when they start getting money, man. Either you get more greedy or you start to realize, oh, this is great, and you feel some sort of responsibility. Now I can help people. Now I can do things. I can do the thing with everyone else. Yeah, you're right though, it isn't extreme.

It's one or the other. I've never, you don't really meet someone in the middle. You're either super fucking greedy, or you're like, oh, I think I wanna try to like, give people jobs and help out my friends and do the, it's one or the other. You'll never see me in a Ferrari. Well, I bought you a, do you wanna get in the Ferrari?

We bought you a Ferrari, man. A new car! Look under your seat! Actually, I know this sounds disgusting to say, but my friend, I have a family friend who owns a car company. They have exotic cars. And he'll let me drive a car whenever I want. If he's like, hey, do you want to drive it? Yeah. And he's given me all these like super fancy dope cars to drive and Even like Ferraris you will drive it and go yeah, it's super fucking dope, but also It's a fucking car car still got a steering wheel and 700,000 I need to stop at a red light right and you sometimes if you hear it if you hear like you know when you hit

A bump and if you hear it if you hear it you're like this is a fucking this ain't made of fucking yeah This is not an invincible made of gold and I like this sounds like a every car I've ever been it it sounds like a regular ass car And it kind of gives you perspective when you get in those you think they're gonna be infallible like it'd be perfect and everything is It's like wrapped in fucking gold and platinum, and it's not then you then you get in, you hit a bump and it goes, ah, and you're like, what the fuck, dude? I thought, I was depressed when I bought, like I moved out the hood because of those riots were crazy and I was getting into fights, I was on acid.

I was fighting in my alley with people who- You were fighting on acid? Yeah, just people trying to steal my shit in the alley and my dogs barking, you know what I'm saying? I got a newborn kid and I'm just like ready to lose my life and I'm, you know, I'm spinning on acid and you know what I'm saying? That there's no and I'm just like ready to lose my life and I'm you know I'm spinning on acid and you know I'm saying that there's no the third precinct is burned down and I'm like, you know My house is almost started on fire and those you know We had to leave in the middle of night because our house was smoking and the house besides me was on fire

And so I'm like, alright, you know I've successful career. I don't want to move out the hood because I love the Diversity and in Minneapolis is a, they say it's a liberal, Minnesota's liberal and we always vote liberal, but they've done a very good job at being racist and red lining. And if you go to, you know, the north side on the black, like you, it's it's not like Atlanta where there's like all colors or you know, like Atlanta's, they've done a very good job at stomping on minorities. Like if you get into the suburbs and the money in Minneapolis you start moving out. There's no diversity, right? I never wanted to leave. I want you know, I want my family to be around this whatever it got too dangerous

I'm like, all right, whatever so we don't even move far away The house ain't even the shit, but it's like a new, you know, still in the city, you know, still, you know, close as I can't, you know, and I remember like, you just moved. I remember thinking, oh, looking at the Zillow being like, look at these pictures. Oh my God, fantasized over it for so long. And I was just depressed. I moved in for the first couple months. I was like, depressed. Yeah. I was like, this didn't do it no it's not it's not what the fuck this is not it materialistic shit is not it and then that's kind of like terrifying because wherever you are there you are you still got to be there you are dude yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah your brain

you go there you are right you know you You still gotta sit in your shit and be like, oh damn, oh I have to work on myself because I felt shitty. Like, you know, I eventually moved into it and got comfortable in it and shit like that. But it was eye opening. Well you bring your shit with you no matter where you go, which I think is a, that is very,

no matter where you progress in your life. Like he just had a birthday a birthday couple two days ago turn 20 Five yep, which is crazy and And I think his life has changed so much. I know we're being very truly philosophical which I like but His life has changed so much comedy aside. I know that he's not the same kid I met a year and a half ago because his responsibility level went up his head size It's much bigger than a nine and a half. What size fitted hat are you in a fucking new era?

What do you like a nine? Well, you can't put I mean that thing is insane, you know when you have you know snapbacks he's on the last single snapback I gave him a hat one time. He's like it doesn't fit But no he's but I've seen it through his eye, which is funny being our age. And then I've seen him, you know, get a lot of things he thought he really wanted. Now his happiness is leveled depending on

a lot of other shit in life, but it is wild to watch him get a lot more money and jobs and work. It's exactly what he wanted. And him a lot of times telling me, I'm really burnt out and I don't know if I really wanna do it. And I'm like, see, this is, yeah, man. It's fucking, it's great.

It's with great pressure and responsibility is stress. And that inevitably is going to make you less happy. For sure. Touring. Pressure and stress is tough. Touring, I've never been more sad than touring. On tour. 10 minutes before a show. Right, when you're on stage is the best time in the fucking world. It's like, I can't, I was trying to explain this to them, I said, they said,

what do you love and hate about comedy? This guy that was, I was with this past weekend, I said, I love doing it. Just, it is the fucking greatest feeling on planet Earth and I hate everything else around it. I hate everything, the travel and the thing and the business and the bullshit and the... But that moment, it's unbeatable. But yeah, you get fucking... You're sitting in a hotel again alone and without your family and your friends and your things.

Touring is isolating as fuck, man. It's super hard. I'm stuck in my bus and I'm hearing everybody around. There's party down the line around the block and shit And I'm like trying to take a nap like I like to do before my show at a certain time And I'm just in a bunk by myself every night just trying to go to sleep and I hear people I'm like, I'm like stuck in a booth In the coffin

You know what I mean? Who sleeps in the back? You don't sleep in the back? So I've been touring in a bandwagon. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Poor man's bus. Oh, the poor man's bus, yeah. That's the last, I just finished the last tour of my bandwagon, so I'm full size back

room. Full size back room from here on out, doc. Yeah! God bless. In here, we pour whiskey. You know what's annoying? Bugs. Bugs are probably the most annoying thing. God bless. In here, we pour whiskey. You know what's annoying? Bugs.

I'm a light sleeper. And I'm cycling in and off of sleeping pills and fucking booze and whiskey. Get off of those sleeping pills. Those motherfuckers are gonna kill you. No, yeah, I do ones that make you sleepy but aren't addictive and it's the shit. I can just drop them or whatever. What are they called?

They're light as fuck. I need to know. It's light as hell. And a lot of times I, they don't work, but I can drop them. What are they called? Do you know what they're called? Not off the top of my head, but I can show you. You gotta let me know. Yeah, I can show you.

I tried a lot of stuff. I come back home and I can go, I can... Oh, dude, because I'm come back home And I can go I can oh dude cuz I'm buzzing I will never want it I know they're addictive and sleeping is a big stress of mine, so I don't want to do those like I don't know What class those are on but my doctor was like these are some other classes I don't think you want to go you know I'm like yeah like what's the one I can't think of what's the one that puts you? To sleep that knocks you the fuck out ambient ambient. Yep. That's that's a dick thing you know have you done it before? No, thanks dude. They're great. don't think so. Dude, they're great. They're fucking great. They are

great. You feel exactly how you want to feel to get tired. You know when you're like, you know when you're traveling and touring and the sleepy, the good sleepy, heavy weighted blanket like tired? Yeah, that's how you feel on that shit. Although some people sleepwalk and they do wild ass shit. But I

didn't have any trouble, but I knew I liked it too much and I thought, I will do this, I will, I gotta get away from this stuff. Because I always just want them all the time. Because they're so fucking convenient. Yeah and then you can't sleep when you're off of them. That's what I hear so, yeah. I don't know where we're at but yeah, I think being on a bus with suspension and all that in my room, a door. Moving up. And you showered on the bus. We never showered on the bus. never showered on the bus nobody showered in the bus so then you need a Showered at the venue day room venues we always show in the venue, but some like some venues don't have some

Yeah, no some don't have showers, but you definitely have to fucking you got to bring all your supplies Got to bring sandals because there some of them were fucking Some of them the showers were clearly where they dumped out all of their like the mop slop You know like that's where the everything on the ground yeah, and so even with where they dumped out all of their, like the mop slop. You know, like that's where the... Throw up and everything on the ground. Yeah. And so even with sandals, there was times with sandals I was like, God, this is fucking

gross, dude. Yo, okay, people don't know that. We really don't, like... No, we don't know what he talks about. I just want to do a tour and being, instead of being like, whoa, look at these sold out shows and all the glamour shit, I'd be like, I'll be raiding like showers or something. Yeah, look at the shower head. Look at this dump. Look at where I'm shitting today. Right. Every day you wake up you don't know where you're gonna shit and these

venues have horrible fucking toilet paper. The most famous best venues in the world, they have the worst fucking one ply. It's a computer paper bro it hurts so much. It is the worst. We would buy, I would buy toilet paper and paper towel and bring it in there with me because I know sometimes they wouldn't even have it. That's a good idea. Sometimes they wouldn't have it. I would keep it in one of the cabinets, or in one of the dump bunks, and then I'd bring that in.

Dunk bunk? Dump bunk, a dump bunk. Oh, a dump, we call it a junk bunk. We call it a dump bunk. Just because that was where all of our bullshend suitcases. But I'd keep it up there and bring it in, because half of the time they would run out of stuff. And then one time we did laundry, this is so stupid.

We did laundry, and they have a washer and dryer for all of the, and most venues they don't say shit. And the one guy was like, hey, you know, it's, what was it, they tried to charge us. Oh, hell no. It was like, yeah, dude, I was like, what the fuck? This costs you nothing, I'm doing a load of laundry, we're doing socks and underwear.

You want some money on my pockets, bitch? Run your pockets. He legitimately was like, hey, we're gonna have to bill you guys for the laundry and Jesse was like is it cool if I do fucking laundry fuck that guy that's crazy The fact that he was like snooping downstairs like you guys doing laundry again? It's like dude get the fuck out of here. Hey who's doing laundry down here? It was like a Sesame Street character. You guys doing laundry down here? Get the fuck out of here man

This is like the small moments that you get on the road like that where you're like, hey man, I just want clean socks and underwear. Hey man, I just want a quick shower and wash my face. Because we've been sitting on a fucking bus. Glamorous. Yeah, yeah. It is like the opposite. It's fucking you're at the top, you're at the bottom. I know it's so quick. You're on stage, and then you're showering with a four-foot nozzle and you have to like bend down to get your head wet and shit. Yes. It's so funny. The switch is heavy. How many dates are you gonna do this year? And then you're showering with a four foot nozzle and you have to like bend down to get your head wet and shit So funny the switch is heavy. How many dates you gonna do this year? Do you know?

You're going into like a big big tour. No, I'm doing like a two or three week That's up right now and I'm announcing another three week and then you're gonna make a new album I've been made a new album done. I mean kind of I'm just I'm what I'm doing right now Is I mean I got a lot of songs done But with open verses, so I'm really swinging for the fences and trying to get like huge cameos Yeah, yeah, what are we like who is the can you say no do you want to say? Come on. I don't think I should I don't think I should okay, okay? How about give me one give me one that you've asked that You really wanted to and it didn't work out. Have you had that already?

You can also cover your mouth. You can cover your mouth, that way we'll know the audio, that way we'll be able to read your lips. Wow, that's a good one. Passed on three songs, but was like, damn, these are the shit. But didn't say, I don't want to fuck with you. I want to fuck with you. Oh, that's great.

That's huge. But I was like, yeah. And then also I just DM'd. Oh, really? Cause, cause, say it, say it. I don't, if I, if I, nah, I don't know. Cause he's, he did a deep dive on me and is like, dude, this dude is the shit.

And very interested. Yes. Well, he would do that, right? Do you know, you know his history? That's his thing. Yeah. That's what he does. Yeah, there's a bunch of others like, so what I'm doing,

I'm kind of interested, but then they're on tour, then they're doing whatever, you know how it is, like. How many times does it work where you send someone? One song and they say yes right away does that happen often or no is usually like mmm I don't know if I like this. I don't know if I like this Kevin Gates banged that shit out he used to he sent it to him, and he was like you got it Yeah, I mean the management there was some back and forth there, but I mean it wasn't like do you got another track? That I it just there the verse came came back and he just fucking killed it.

He's like, really, really? Yeah, I was like, damn, really, really? That dude is fucking great. I love that. Hey yo, you need to get him on here. His interviews are incredible. Yeah, he's so, dude, he is, what I like about him is the same thing I like about you,

is you are you. He is definitely him. There's no mistake. There's no like, you know, there's no facade to how he feels about stuff. No, he ain't trying to act a certain way. Doesn't give a shit. And doesn't care that other people wouldn't like,

you know what I mean? Like there's a lot of politicking now where people are like, well, I don't want to upset anybody, but he doesn't give a fuck that he's like, that's how I feel. Why do I give a shit about that you don't like it? Like, you know how I feel does that?

And I might be wrong. We've talked about him a lot. It's Vince Staples. I don't know him, I like him, and I'm always like, I feel like every time I hear him, he says exactly what he wants to say. And he doesn't give a shit if you don't like the way he thinks about stuff, which I like. You do the same shit though, you're very much that way.

After we talked after your show, and I saw your performance and who you are and the way you work, and I was like, oh this is very much It's very you I'm doing my own shit. Yeah, you're not copyable the whole the whole fucking industry You know people ask me like what's it like to be in the industry? I'm like, I don't fucking know I'm making music. I'm just doing prof.

But I don't know what record came out first. You're busy making art. And your art is wonderful. And I want everybody on here, by the way, to go either get an album, go to a live show. I would say go to a live show is probably, to me,

the most important thing in our business. Go to a live show. If he's near you, go see is probably, to me, the most important thing in our business. Go to a live show. If he's near you, go see the boy. Go see the kid in public. Speaking of what, what were you gonna say? Pop culture, I'm looking at that poster behind you about the bear. See that bear?

Oh yeah, yeah, this, yeah. This was, do you know, this is, well, you wouldn't know what that is. That was my first, it was hung behind me in a 30 by 40 foot tapestry for my first stand-up special that was on Showtime. And that is all the Chicago sports teams. That's a bear, a cubby bear for the Cubs.

He's wearing Jordans for the Bulls, blackhawks, and he's wearing white socks. Okay, I get it, but I don't care about that. That's not what I was talking about.

With a bear or a man have you seen this no is this a tree every single one just on the streets It's like a phenomenon right now, and I'm sure everybody goes a bear they all say a bear

Yeah, I know that's because of this is this is yeah Yeah, I know that's because of this is this is yeah There's a lot of talk behind that and I think that the question is just set up like in a playful way That is just begging for a woman to say we don't need man. Give me a bear. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like Honestly, we know the truth if you want a little desert island. Yeah, and there was a fucking cage right here. It was like, OOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH And you're like, all right, we got this.

it would be just as annoying if a guy was like, we don't need women. That's what's so funny is like, you would call that sexist, but like when the girls do it, it's like, it's a funny bit. But if a guy was like, no, women are fucking trash, we don't need bitches, they'd be like, this is a misogynistic piece of shit! And you're like, no dude, of course we need women, this is bananas. And you don't need bitches. They'd be like, this is a misogynistic piece of shit. And you're like, no, dude, of course we need women. This is bananas. And you don't need

Have you seen this have you seen this before and then she'll go he's like a four and, he's like a four. And then they'll go to that guy. And then he'll go, she's like a ten.

And then she'll rank like a regular ass comparable dude. She like, I think I'm like a nine or a 10. And then she'll rank like a regular ass comparable dude. She'll be like, he's like a five or a six. Our level of self-confidence is so fucking low in men.

And women are, every woman is like queen, you're gorgeous, you're the number one, you're 10, you're a fucking 10. I think that's sexuality though. There's, I think still like, I don't know how many generations this took or if it was always this way or but like I think still a man needs to win a woman over, you know

Sure, it's something so like that's just like I think there's some psychology in there be like that man But I need to there's a mountain I need to climb, you know Yeah, like damn there's some work that needs to put in there and then those numbers kind of represent the fucking effort too That would take that's why we like sports, yeah, you want to win.

So there's not a lot of like singular phrases that really change the way I think

It's not a lot of like singular phrases that really change the way I think yeah but I said oh fuck that's right what did he said it's not the fucking pursuit of happiness it's the happiness of pursuit yeah that's you're talking about rich kids just having nothing and you know like going back to the house I bought or the fucking Ferrari once you're in that bitch you're like what the fuck this isn't happiness no while I was pursuing that shit some of the best times of my career broke as fuck You know I'm saying on Medicare Medicaid.

I was fighting hard I was pursuing like crazy you know and if that shit goes away, or you know you see old rappers you know they think they get money or whatever and then they'd like

The music starts to fucking suffer. You know I'm saying it's like what are you pursuing? Yeah, what do you it's the person?

You're a sweet lad, and I hope you get those, I hope you get those people to jump on your shit because you deserve it. Before I go, I love you. I love you too. Like, there's a rare amount of people, did we just like vibe from the jump? Like that one night you came and saw me at Raleigh,

we talked for like, or Raleigh, we talked for like three hours, I'm like, and then right away I'm like, what's going on with this? And we came to Minneapolis, I'm like, damn, I feel like I've known you for a long time. I think that's like rare. I think it's because we have, I think, well, if you really wanna break it down,

I think it's because we have a similar, I think men who had, men who had some- Big dicks. Yeah, well, he said it. Men who have something... Big dicks. Yeah, well, he said it. Men who have something traumatic dad stuff, I think you bond pretty inherently. My father was not a part of my life as a kid. He was in prison.

And so then I think guys who have that, that's maybe bullshit, but guys who have that tend to be similar men because you had to work really hard to be your own man because you didn't really have a dad who Ushered you the way that some people were lucky enough to have and I think you kind of emulate the same Searching yeah the same things in life where you kind of see through bullshit pretty easily kind of call out bullshit You really care passionately and deeply about real male relationships when When you see a guy you like, you're like, I fuck with this guy. I fuck with this guy. And I've always been that way.

When I meet a dude that I like, I know that I like them. I can feel something in them. And I think it's probably come from a lack of a partial male figure who created some trauma where you're like, well, I'm not just gonna trust every dude. I'm gonna see men. I'm gonna see men for their value and their

truth and then you kind of get away from fake friendships. I don't have a lot of like dudes in my life where I'm like, why do we fucking hang with that guy? I've never had that. Straight up. And I hear that with people where they're like, I don't even know why the guy's in our group. There's not one motherfucker that like a man that I keep in my life that I'm like halfway about. It's flimsy. Right. Yeah. And I think people do that because some people are people, they're like, I don't want to

fucking hurt his feelings. Or clout, he seems powerful. Right, right. You just stick around him or something. No, fuck that. I just don't have that, to me, I don't like it. I've never liked that. And maybe I'm inferring too much, but I feel like it comes from that thing where you're

like- I've never thought about that. I value male relationships because I was sitting on a stoop waiting for my dad to show up. You know what I mean? You just solved, you know, just have every fucking dad leave and you could have good dudes like us. That's right, dude. Ruin your kids like-
