00:02:22.905Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
00:02:22.925 -->
00:02:33.366So they got this thing where they do shorts for my husband, whatever, and he's like it's like Chinese New Year and he's trying to tell his wife that.
00:02:34.581 -->
00:02:38.170They're dramatized skits for social media.
00:02:38.170 -->
00:02:43.284Yeah, it might be a real situation, but not a real situation with their actors.
00:02:43.766 -->
00:02:45.050Yeah, and then I hate those.
00:02:45.050 -->
00:02:51.229And then the wife is showing up with like the friend who wants her and it's like I'm just like dude, this is like the messiest thing ever.
00:02:51.229 -->
00:02:53.026He like slapped the dude twice.
00:02:53.026 -->
00:02:57.127He's like you slapped me.
00:02:57.127 -->
00:02:58.885He's like I will slap you again.
00:02:58.885 -->
00:02:59.788It slaps him again.
00:02:59.788 -->
00:03:02.008I'm going to tell my father, his father comes in.
00:03:07.621 -->
00:03:08.927He's out slapping in front of your father.
00:03:08.927 -->
00:03:10.054Bow, slap him in front of the father.
00:03:10.093 -->
00:03:11.080Daddy can't protect you, motherfucker.
00:03:11.080 -->
00:03:23.509The last one I seen of something like that was it was a guy looking to be head chef of this restaurant.
00:03:23.509 -->
00:03:31.665He was black, mixed or whatever Racism ensues and all this other stuff.
00:03:31.665 -->
00:03:38.169He showed the racist guy at Grace, something like that, that type of thing.
00:03:38.169 -->
00:03:38.650I watched it.
00:03:38.650 -->
00:03:44.067I still hate those fake dramatization type things, but I watched it.
00:03:44.067 -->
00:03:44.848It was cool.
00:03:44.848 -->
00:03:46.925I just hate that.
00:03:46.925 -->
00:03:50.810That's what we people need to be.
00:03:50.810 -->
00:03:54.751We have to go to these lengths to teach people a lesson online.
00:03:54.751 -->
00:03:59.206Not that the world isn't teaching all of us lessons every day.
00:03:59.206 -->
00:04:07.283It's just kind of like, since you're being shitty on social media, maybe this will come across your feed, which is crazy in my opinion.
00:04:07.283 -->
00:04:10.644Well, super crazy.
00:04:10.663 -->
00:04:12.068I don't know, I was invested.
00:04:12.068 -->
00:04:16.127They only show you a certain amount, so you got to see if you can find the other one.
00:04:16.127 -->
00:04:25.110I wasn't downloading that, so I was like, oh man, I wonder if she comes to me and is like, oh my gosh, I didn't know you were a billionaire.
00:04:25.110 -->
00:04:29.826And then he'd be like nah, bitch we done.
00:04:29.846 -->
00:04:31.552I think I know exactly which one you're talking about.
00:04:31.552 -->
00:04:37.439I scrolled past that, motherfucker.
00:04:38.199 -->
00:04:40.043I scrolled past that motherfucker.
00:04:40.125 -->
00:04:46.678I tried to scroll past it, but it just kept showing up over and over So eventually I just kind of looked at it,
00:04:50.033 -->
00:04:55.422Yeah, as one would do, as they're scrolling on Instagram or Facebook or whatever.
00:04:55.422 -->
00:04:59.625Man, that shit has got me in a chokehold against social media Not me commenting or anything like that, but just me being stuck.
00:04:59.625 -->
00:05:00.925And I was telling my wife.
00:05:00.925 -->
00:05:01.425I was like.
00:05:01.425 -->
00:05:07.028I was like I noticed that the shit getting worse with me, so I got to figure out something.
00:05:07.028 -->
00:05:12.632I was telling her I was like I might just get an old school flip phone, but you need a real phone.
00:05:12.632 -->
00:05:15.975I say I don't really need a real phone, I need one.
00:05:15.975 -->
00:05:18.057When I was, I mean, I don't need, I didn't need a smartphone.
00:05:18.057 -->
00:05:19.598When I didn't, when they weren't any.
00:05:19.598 -->
00:05:20.237You know what I mean.
00:05:20.237 -->
00:05:25.482I figured it out.
00:05:25.482 -->
00:05:26.024Yeah, we all figured it out.
00:05:26.043 -->
00:05:30.223I was like but this shit doesn't be like, because it's all the stuff that I like, like we talk about algorithms all the time and it's everything that I like.
00:05:30.223 -->
00:05:31.987It ain't never anything that I don't like.
00:05:31.987 -->
00:05:41.761I'm like oh, this shit know me too well and every, every time, I'm just looking to uh, see something that I like, like and I was explaining.
00:05:41.761 -->
00:05:50.641So I was like I went on here to see the weather and the first thing I did was as soon as I opened up my phone, I forgot what I was doing and went straight to instagram.
00:05:50.641 -->
00:05:53.024I was like, oh hell, no.
00:05:53.024 -->
00:05:57.971So I'm looking to make a change in that.
00:05:57.971 -->
00:06:06.172But you know I won't make that change all too soon because you know, our first presidential debates was a couple of days ago.
00:06:06.172 -->
00:06:14.963The memes and the ignorance is out there, and a lot of it is funny.
00:06:16.168 -->
00:06:16.509Oh yeah.
00:06:17.822 -->
00:06:19.447Did you actually sit down and try to watch it?
00:06:20.920 -->
00:06:23.185For a quick second and I said why the fuck do I care?
00:06:23.185 -->
00:06:48.927You know, at the end of the day, like I will tell anybody the fact that we even still believe that there's Democrats and Republicans and not just people who are just looking out to do whatever, whatever their counterparts say that they should do, and just hey, who wants to be the face, to be the person that gets run over and told that they're a horrible person, when really it's everyone else that works with you that does the shit, yeah?
00:06:48.927 -->
00:06:53.064And they just all oh, yeah, I'll do it this time, I'll be like all right, cool, cool.
00:06:53.064 -->
00:07:03.026And then they make us feel like we're in the loop by letting us vote for whoever's going to take the blame for any dumb shit that the, the senate and the house and all those other people do.
00:07:03.045 -->
00:07:06.733Right, yeah, I asked my mom the same thing.
00:07:06.733 -->
00:07:08.607She was like she fell asleep watching it.
00:07:08.607 -->
00:07:10.547And then she, you know she asked me.
00:07:10.547 -->
00:07:13.944I was like, well, I went to sleep, I didn't even bother.
00:07:13.944 -->
00:07:18.553I'm like, but we saw what this was four years ago.
00:07:19.497 -->
00:07:26.963Somebody that seems like they're not all there and another person that's still not all there but just says whatever he wants.
00:07:26.963 -->
00:07:29.685Both of them are goofy ass grandpas.
00:07:29.685 -->
00:07:33.889That's how they come off.
00:07:33.889 -->
00:07:35.504So they're just saying stuff.
00:07:35.504 -->
00:07:40.086It's just kind of like some of the stuff is positive.
00:07:40.086 -->
00:07:46.408A lot of it ain't what am I, and some of them just ain't saying nothing.
00:07:46.408 -->
00:07:48.319You know, sometimes they're just not saying nothing.
00:07:48.319 -->
00:07:50.983So it's like, what am I watching this shit for?
00:07:50.983 -->
00:08:00.288But the next day, just seeing everybody comment on how it was a disgrace, it was a worry, and this, this and that, and I'm like, oh, y'all couldn't.
00:08:00.288 -->
00:08:01.886Y'all couldn't have predicted this.
00:08:01.886 -->
00:08:05.019Like I'm not the you know, the political scientist in the room and shit like that it was, couldn't predict this.
00:08:05.019 -->
00:08:08.620I'm not the political scientist in the room and shit like that.
00:08:08.620 -->
00:08:15.324It's just like come on now See what happens in the next couple months.
00:08:15.324 -->
00:08:20.451It's definitely going to get worse before it gets better.
00:08:22.062 -->
00:08:24.923We're just seeing Roy Jones versus Mike Tyson, part two.
00:08:24.923 -->
00:08:29.565Just two grandpas at the cookout duking it out.
00:08:30.021 -->
00:08:31.204Nah, those are two uncles.
00:08:31.204 -->
00:08:35.865Yeah, they definitely two goofy ass grandpas.
00:08:35.865 -->
00:08:37.652Two uncles.
00:08:37.652 -->
00:08:40.523You'll never see two grandpas fighting from different sides.
00:08:40.523 -->
00:08:41.606It's always two uncles.
00:08:41.606 -->
00:08:50.360You know the brothers and shit like that, but I guess if they're grandpas, they could be you know brothers at the same time, too Somebody's uncles, but nah, it's not the same.
00:08:50.360 -->
00:08:52.522It's not the same, I don't know.
00:08:52.522 -->
00:08:58.019Man, I would like to say that I'm super worried, but the worry has not.
00:08:58.019 -->
00:08:59.947The worry has not how could I put it?
00:08:59.947 -->
00:09:05.470The worry has not gone away since, uh, Obama left, so I don't really know.
00:09:05.470 -->
00:09:08.086You know what I mean.
00:09:08.086 -->
00:09:13.086Like we, you know, our generation lived through a lot yeah, I mean I've always been on high alert.
00:09:13.768 -->
00:09:15.051I went through four years of trump.
00:09:15.491 -->
00:09:18.624I mean you went four years of trump.
00:09:18.624 -->
00:09:20.587You went through a recession during college.
00:09:20.587 -->
00:09:22.931You went through 9-11 during high school.
00:09:22.931 -->
00:09:29.570Middle school Went through the sniper in this area.
00:09:30.380 -->
00:09:31.003DC sniper.
00:09:31.003 -->
00:09:34.505I remember that one we went through.
00:09:34.505 -->
00:09:45.563But the DC sniper is the definition of if you are doing any criminal activities, to watch the news, to see what they're saying about you, so you try not to fall.
00:09:45.563 -->
00:09:51.647He said oh, I only kill on Mondays.
00:09:51.647 -->
00:09:55.047Nah, nigga, I'm about to kill on a Wednesday.
00:09:55.047 -->
00:09:57.488Oh, I don't kill no one on the weekends.
00:09:57.488 -->
00:10:03.183Let me put up two bullets and people on a Sunday, Saturday, Sunday.
00:10:03.865 -->
00:10:04.788That was a wild time.
00:10:05.230 -->
00:10:16.346Yeah, because you know that one of the kids got shot down the street from the high school where I was, yeah, and I was like man and they was like all right, everyone stay in.
00:10:16.346 -->
00:10:19.285You know they didn't dismiss us from school.
00:10:19.285 -->
00:10:20.830I forgot why they didn't.
00:10:20.830 -->
00:10:23.947No, they put the school on lockdown.
00:10:23.947 -->
00:10:26.841They just forgot why they didn't.
00:10:26.841 -->
00:10:27.764No, they, they put the school on lockdown.
00:10:27.764 -->
00:10:35.067They just put us in lockdown and told us to, um, we had to stay in the building until the school was school day was over and we couldn't go outside as far as like to anything.
00:10:35.067 -->
00:10:42.414And then, when it was time to leave, they were uh, they, they were having a hard time getting the buses hold on.
00:10:42.434 -->
00:10:43.197So did your high school?
00:10:43.197 -->
00:10:46.370Your high school had, uh, the trailers and shit, right right Like going outside for classes.
00:10:46.370 -->
00:10:49.605So those people, if they had that class, where was they going?
00:10:50.486 -->
00:10:51.309They went to class.
00:10:52.080 -->
00:10:53.908How they told y'all not to go outside.
00:10:54.299 -->
00:10:55.546Yeah, you can't Out front.
00:10:55.546 -->
00:10:57.667Oh, out front, the trailers were in the back.
00:10:57.667 -->
00:10:59.567You know if he came on school, if he?
00:11:01.020 -->
00:11:02.144But he had a sniper rifle.
00:11:02.205 -->
00:11:08.850But what if he off school grounds and he knew the woods going into the well, the only way that he was remember he was shooting from the trunk of his car.
00:11:09.461 -->
00:11:10.964Yeah, that's true, he.
00:11:10.964 -->
00:11:21.201He would have had to park at the Bowie Library and then he would have to get a decent shot with everything that covers up the bowie libraries, like the baseball field, all the other stuff.
00:11:21.201 -->
00:11:30.048So if anything, he would have been killing somebody at the library and then, if that he wouldn't have been that close, he would have had to just park up closer to Bladensburg where Annex was.
00:11:30.048 -->
00:11:40.847Yeah, so the reason he had a decent shot from where he hit the kid at Benjamin Tasker was because there's tennis courts over there.
00:11:40.847 -->
00:11:51.830So where I used to live at, across the street from Benjamin Tasker, once you get across the street you start walking down towards where Bowie is and you take the path.
00:11:51.830 -->
00:11:55.443You run into these tennis courts, these tennis courts.
00:11:55.443 -->
00:12:03.886I don't know if it's a basketball court over there, but these tennis courts are parked over there and boom and pulled out, nice and slow, and left the scene.
00:12:04.590 -->
00:12:04.809Yeah.
00:12:08.100 -->
00:12:09.828I think it was I forgot whose brother was.
00:12:09.828 -->
00:12:12.159I think I want to say her name was like dominic or something.
00:12:13.182 -->
00:12:16.830Her brother was the one how many people in the area knew that.
00:12:16.830 -->
00:12:21.764Uh, that boy yeah, because I had some at.
00:12:21.764 -->
00:12:24.948Uh, I think he had once.
00:12:24.948 -->
00:12:32.528It see, I think he had went to MLK for a little bit and then went there because I went to MLK.
00:12:32.528 -->
00:12:34.264I can't really remember.
00:12:34.264 -->
00:12:37.250It's been so long ago and I'm not going to misspeak.
00:12:37.250 -->
00:12:43.125I don't know who listens to this, I don't know how touchy that is with people, but there were a lot of people that knew him.
00:12:43.125 -->
00:12:45.124It was crazy.
00:12:45.124 -->
00:12:45.966It was a crazy time.
00:12:47.181 -->
00:12:47.663It was.
00:12:47.663 -->
00:12:48.447It was.
00:12:48.447 -->
00:12:49.764I mean I still went out.
00:12:49.764 -->
00:12:52.441And I remember I was going out to get gas one day.
00:12:52.441 -->
00:12:56.028My mom was like oh, make sure that when you pump your gas you lay on the ground.
00:12:56.028 -->
00:12:57.183I said lay on the ground.
00:12:57.424 -->
00:12:59.184I think your mom did not say that, did she?
00:13:00.039 -->
00:13:03.885Make sure you lay on the ground because he's killing people at the gas station.
00:13:03.885 -->
00:13:10.115And I was like well in my head before they said on the news, I said, well, it sounds like he's only working Monday through Friday.
00:13:10.115 -->
00:13:10.335It's a.
00:13:10.394 -->
00:13:10.796Saturday.
00:13:15.422 -->
00:13:18.410But you know, at that time I had a Ford Explorer.
00:13:18.410 -->
00:13:22.130I think at that time I had a Ford Explorer where I would get gas for.
00:13:23.221 -->
00:13:24.727You were driving at that time.
00:13:25.070 -->
00:13:25.410Yeah.
00:13:25.431 -->
00:13:27.379You was in at that time yeah.
00:13:28.344 -->
00:13:29.126You was in the 12th grade.
00:13:32.442 -->
00:13:35.220I'm not sure what 12th grade year I was in, but I was in one of them.
00:13:35.520 -->
00:13:38.765Oh my God, I think I was in the 10th.
00:13:38.765 -->
00:13:41.462I didn't mean to ask you something like that, but yeah, I get it.
00:13:42.341 -->
00:13:44.052I was in one of the 12th grade years.
00:13:44.052 -->
00:13:46.450You know what I'm saying.
00:13:46.450 -->
00:13:59.467But, oh well, yeah, no, I was driving, I had um, just got in my, I got my provisionals, okay, no, no, no, no, I had gotten my full-blown driver's license because you could get it, um, so you did your.
00:13:59.467 -->
00:14:04.628So you got your learners at 15 and I think I got mine at 15 and 11.
00:14:04.628 -->
00:14:09.543I got my driver's license like january, february, because I did.
00:14:09.543 -->
00:14:14.923You know, you got you don't gotta have that for a couple months until you get on and drive in school.
00:14:14.923 -->
00:14:17.412Then you gotta have your provisionals.
00:14:17.692 -->
00:14:25.273I think it was was 16 months until, without any um, any uh tickets or anything.
00:14:25.273 -->
00:14:30.745I did my 16 months or whatever, without any sort of.
00:14:30.745 -->
00:14:46.783When I turned, I want to say I had either just turned 18 and I had my driver's license, a lot of people who I know they got speeding tickets and all that other stuff.
00:14:46.783 -->
00:14:50.821So you know it starts every time you get a ticket or something, it starts over.
00:14:50.821 -->
00:14:58.157So as I got closer and closer to 16 months, I was like eight, I'm like 18 months.
00:14:58.157 -->
00:15:06.053Yeah, the closer and closer I got to 18 months, I was like let me go go ahead and slow down on the road and not get no tickets.
00:15:07.407 -->
00:15:09.144I wasn't even driving when I had mine.
00:15:09.144 -->
00:15:12.005I got it, but my mom still wouldn't let me drive.
00:15:12.005 -->
00:15:15.346Nothing, that was an easy cakewalk for me.
00:15:16.541 -->
00:15:17.423It's probably for the best.
00:15:18.346 -->
00:15:23.488Man, I would have been getting all types of coochie if I was able to drive.
00:15:23.488 -->
00:15:27.969Oh man, it probably was for the best.
00:15:27.969 -->
00:15:30.604Yep, probably was for the best.
00:15:31.407 -->
00:15:35.828Hey man, At least you didn't get caught having sex by the police like I did in the car.
00:15:37.332 -->
00:15:38.644Why you like young, young.
00:15:41.085 -->
00:15:43.679Yeah, about the same time I got my driver's license.
00:15:44.744 -->
00:15:44.803Man.
00:15:44.803 -->
00:15:49.692I almost got caught as an adult and I knew I shouldn't have been where I was at.
00:15:51.441 -->
00:15:51.841I had no idea.
00:15:51.841 -->
00:16:03.941I was an adult when I got older and realized you could just pull into different neighborhoods and just park in front of somebody else Hopefully.
00:16:03.941 -->
00:16:12.686I ain hopefully out there and if it's late it's like park in front of it but park indirectly.
00:16:12.686 -->
00:16:17.350It was like a sweet spot.
00:16:17.350 -->
00:16:19.586It was in between two houses.
00:16:20.543 -->
00:16:22.052How'd you get caught on a sweet spot then I?
00:16:22.634 -->
00:16:25.167didn't get caught on a sweet spot, I got caught in a parking lot.
00:16:25.899 -->
00:16:27.091Yeah, that's come on.
00:16:27.091 -->
00:16:28.562Well, I can't even say come on.
00:16:28.562 -->
00:16:29.726I did that shit as an adult.
00:16:29.726 -->
00:16:31.645And guess which parking lot I did it at?
00:16:31.645 -->
00:16:36.322Oh, at the mall, Redskin Stadium.
00:16:36.322 -->
00:16:38.461Really Stupid Hell yeah.
00:16:38.481 -->
00:16:40.620It's not the best place to do that at.
00:16:40.860 -->
00:16:54.389It's definitely not the best place because you know it was wide the fuck open and it was a police officer right across and I'm like the whole time, I'm just like and right there I guess he was like I ain't fucking with these motherfuckers.
00:16:56.019 -->
00:16:56.240Yeah.
00:16:56.803 -->
00:17:10.173So not the best choice of judgment, but hey, sometimes that car as you call it, roadhead is just like the best.
00:17:10.461 -->
00:17:13.788Yeah, I think that was the only time we got caught.
00:17:13.788 -->
00:17:18.039Yeah, I forgot what I was talking about.
00:17:18.039 -->
00:17:25.226I think we were somewhere in Bowie and the thing was I had been going there for so long.
00:17:25.226 -->
00:17:26.731The police never came through.
00:17:27.041 -->
00:17:35.579they never came through there, or Flowers High School, that was the other spot you drove all the way to Flowers because you went around the back way of the house.
00:17:36.241 -->
00:17:51.606Well, the chick lived by Flowers so it was a short ride, I got you, but we never did it in front of our houses, it was always somewhere else.
00:17:51.606 -->
00:17:59.882And I was like, well, if we pull up in a neighborhood in front of someone else's house, like kind of like we're like it's not in front of the house but the side of house, we should be fine.
00:17:59.882 -->
00:18:02.645But us, not knowing that, we just went and parked by.
00:18:02.645 -->
00:18:04.709You know, we parked different parking lots.
00:18:04.709 -->
00:18:15.220So yeah, I got caught, man, it messed my mojo up for a minute.
00:18:16.119 -->
00:18:18.227For a good minute messed up my mojo, so when that happens you get a ticket.
00:18:19.148 -->
00:18:22.287You can For indecent exposure.
00:18:22.901 -->
00:18:23.825But what happened, though?
00:18:23.825 -->
00:18:25.787Like he just said, y'all gotta leave.
00:18:26.000 -->
00:18:27.506He said put your clothes on.
00:18:27.506 -->
00:18:28.630You gotta leave.
00:18:28.740 -->
00:18:30.728You had all your fucking shit off.
00:18:32.140 -->
00:18:39.118Well, no, I just have my pants off.
00:18:39.118 -->
00:18:43.192Oh yeah, it was a hot day that day.
00:18:43.192 -->
00:18:43.653It's hot.
00:18:44.900 -->
00:18:49.587Yo, sorry, it was a hot day, that day, alright .
00:18:50.008 -->
00:18:53.974And the weird part was we had already and we had just finished too.
00:18:56.365 -->
00:18:57.530We were just kind of chilling there.
00:18:57.530 -->
00:18:59.328Why was your pants just off?
00:18:59.348 -->
00:19:04.086You were just chilling there, I don't know, I was out of breath, I don't know.
00:19:05.781 -->
00:19:06.825Oh my, I don't know out of breath.
00:19:06.845 -->
00:19:18.829I don't know oh my, yeah, it messed up my mojo for a minute where, like it, just I just wouldn't.
00:19:18.829 -->
00:19:22.231I think I was traumatized a little bit.
00:19:23.001 -->
00:19:25.907Oh my, you know you well, it is in the past tense.
00:19:25.907 -->
00:19:28.930You suck it up and you figure out what you did wrong and you don't do it again.
00:19:31.082 -->
00:19:38.113Well, we'll just say for a little bit I wasn't given a good performance, damn.
00:19:38.113 -->
00:19:45.338I got you and then after a while I kind of got over it, and then I a while I kind of got over it and then I was fine.
00:19:45.338 -->
00:19:51.413But yeah, I started giving good performances like years later.
00:19:51.413 -->
00:20:02.630But that's when I also remembered to not park in parking lots and to find that sweet spot around homes.
00:20:06.842 -->
00:20:07.846I'm laughing because it's true.
00:20:07.846 -->
00:20:13.667I'm laughing because it's true, I've been there.
00:20:15.362 -->
00:20:22.847You know, when I look back I'm just like damn Of all the places we could have went.
00:20:22.847 -->
00:20:24.571We were just choosing these two places.
00:20:24.571 -->
00:20:37.190I was like man at one point we would always hit the movie theaters because the police never showed up in the movie theaters, you ever do it in the family bathroom, the movie theater Try once man.
00:20:40.262 -->
00:20:42.027I remember my.
00:20:43.471 -->
00:20:47.785Yeah, what if it like getting started someone knocking on the door?
00:20:49.047 -->
00:20:50.314I'm in here like what the fuck?
00:20:52.508 -->
00:20:54.346after that I was like nah, let's just.
00:20:55.202 -->
00:21:00.446I was like man, I'll just crank you yo tell me why, speaking of Bowie, it was at Bowie.
00:21:00.446 -->
00:21:03.682No, I'm sorry, it wasn't at Bowie, it was at anything.
00:21:03.682 -->
00:21:05.172It was at the movie theater at Potomac Yards when it was there that movie.
00:21:05.172 -->
00:21:06.319No, I'm sorry, it wasn't that movie, it was that thing.
00:21:06.319 -->
00:21:09.363It was the movie theater at Potomac Yards when it was there.
00:21:10.486 -->
00:21:11.628I'm on a date.
00:21:11.628 -->
00:21:24.791That's Virginia, right, yeah, and you know man shorty coming out or whatever and going to the bathroom and shit, I'm in a bathroom and I'm in a bathroom.
00:21:24.791 -->
00:21:28.124I didn't think nobody was in a bathroom so I'm not really paying attention because I'm also sleepy too.
00:21:28.124 -->
00:21:28.986It's like one o'clock.
00:21:28.986 -->
00:21:31.491I go to pee and I could swim by.
00:21:31.491 -->
00:21:31.612Yo.
00:21:31.720 -->
00:21:37.381I just seen something red from the, you know, at the corner of my eye, like red, like, like somebody had something red on.
00:21:37.381 -->
00:21:43.661I'm thinking it's a guy, old time woman, but I guess they were, and the guy was in there too.
00:21:43.661 -->
00:21:50.299But I guess she got scared and probably tried to leave out before I could leave out, before before I came in and me not paying attention.
00:21:50.299 -->
00:21:51.683So she's on the back wall.
00:21:51.683 -->
00:21:53.369You know how you wait for somebody to finish peeing.
00:21:53.369 -->
00:22:08.445She's on a back wall, I'm peeing and I go like this and she kind of just says, hey, and I'm like you know I shake and I'm like I'm like yo, is you know I shake and I'm like I'm like yo, is that a guy or is she in here with somebody?
00:22:08.445 -->
00:22:10.468And you come up out, she's in there with somebody.
00:22:10.468 -->
00:22:11.845She had a dress on at that.
00:22:11.845 -->
00:22:13.866I was like, oh, I fucked up their shit.
00:22:13.866 -->
00:22:15.044Let me get the fuck out of here.
00:22:15.044 -->
00:22:16.147Wash my hands, get the fuck out of here.
00:22:16.619 -->
00:22:19.663Yeah, yeah, I done walked in on that.
00:22:19.663 -->
00:22:27.212We had a fraternity crush party so I was like I need to spaff real quick.
00:22:27.212 -->
00:22:31.144So when I rolled in, one of the brothers was in there and you could see there was another girl.
00:22:31.144 -->
00:22:36.140You could see there was a girl in there and I'm like, oh, she gave him a hand.
00:22:36.161 -->
00:22:43.727I was like okay, I go ahead and just start pissing and he's like, hey, don't even worry about it.
00:22:43.727 -->
00:22:52.903Okay, wash my hands, hands go out, get my drink.
00:22:52.903 -->
00:23:04.472And shit happened and I was like I don't even want to know who was in there with him, but I just know because she didn't give a shit that we were coming in there when the alcohol, when the alcohol was flowing, you just kind of complete the mission.
00:23:04.492 -->
00:23:07.667Man, both parties, both parties.
00:23:07.667 -->
00:23:10.970That shirt just reminded me of like alcohol flowing.
00:23:10.970 -->
00:23:25.705It was this good bus thing on Instagram guy was like the generations that been through different types of drinks, like the 80s, and I think the 80s went through Thug Passion, which was Cristal and Alize mix or sometimes you'll do, hennessy.
00:23:25.705 -->
00:23:36.767The 90s they went through Incredible Hope, which was hypnotic, and shit, hypnotic and Was it hypnotic and champagne.
00:23:36.767 -->
00:23:40.006No hypnotic, and that's a bone crusher right.
00:23:41.123 -->
00:23:45.611No, hypnotic, and I just seen the clip Hypnotic and how the fuck I forget that?
00:23:45.611 -->
00:23:46.036I just seen the clip.
00:23:46.036 -->
00:23:57.751Hypnotic and hennessy hypnotic and hennessy, give you the bone I mean I'm about to say bone pressure get, uh, an incredible hall and they stay.
00:23:57.751 -->
00:24:02.046And the guy was like it's this thing called the niggle or some shit like that, the niggle, wiggle or some shit like that.
00:24:02.046 -->
00:24:03.429It that niggle, wiggle, some shit like that.
00:24:03.429 -->
00:24:06.917It was all this shit mixed together and I was just like geez, louise man.
00:24:06.917 -->
00:24:10.931So he said people surviving that shit, they survive all other shit.
00:24:10.931 -->
00:24:20.950He said times will be had and I'm like I bet it ain't nothing like a mixed concoction of shit where you'd be like God damn, you know it's dangerous after you didn't took that first sip.
00:24:20.950 -->
00:24:33.432But you see, everybody else take that sip and you like you know what I think I'm gonna partake whenever, what everybody else going into that I might even get, even more luckier.
00:24:33.452 -->
00:24:34.557You know, my percentage rate might go up getting lucky.
00:24:34.557 -->
00:24:35.199So yeah, because everybody was.
00:24:35.199 -->
00:24:38.614I know when I was in high school everyone was drinking hypnotic.
00:24:38.614 -->
00:24:40.641I mean because obviously it was light and alcohol.
00:24:40.641 -->
00:24:46.686I mean it wasn't like a hard alcohol, but everybody was just taking it.
00:24:46.686 -->
00:24:51.226I forgot what they were mixing it with, but they were like I think that shit's straight.
00:24:52.865 -->
00:24:59.250I think they mixed enough juice in it that it would slush up, because you know alcohol ain't freezing.
00:24:59.250 -->
00:25:03.449But it'll slush up if you don't.
00:25:03.449 -->
00:25:11.159It'll slush up once you put enough non-alcoholic foods in it.
00:25:11.159 -->
00:25:20.267So, but that's what they were doing, bringing it to school, and they were like oh no, it's just a Kool-Aid.
00:25:20.267 -->
00:25:21.210It's just Kool-Aid.
00:25:21.210 -->
00:25:22.308I'm like it's Kool-Aid.
00:25:22.308 -->
00:25:23.894There's no way.
00:25:23.894 -->
00:25:24.833It's just Kool-Aid, because you could.
00:25:24.833 -->
00:25:25.185It's Kool-Aid.
00:25:25.185 -->
00:25:25.294There's no way.
00:25:25.294 -->
00:25:26.886It's just Kool-Aid, because you can smell it on them.
00:25:26.886 -->
00:25:28.551I'm like alright.
00:25:34.326 -->
00:25:37.507We had motherfuckers drinking in high school on campus.
00:25:37.507 -->
00:25:41.386We just had weed smokers.
00:25:41.386 -->
00:25:43.545No alcohol, just weed.
00:25:44.721 -->
00:25:49.890Alcohol was easier to bring in as long as you weren't acting crazy.
00:25:49.890 -->
00:25:54.770But administrators never really got in your face like that.
00:25:54.770 -->
00:26:06.519And when you're, even if you brought it in, so let's say you bring it in dark liquor, right, and you just had a coke bottle.
00:26:06.519 -->
00:26:19.353No one's really checking for you because it's just a coke bottle, unless they can visibly smell see you, yeah, or see you acting a little bit uh yeah weird.
00:26:20.055 -->
00:26:20.696So if I would?
00:26:20.696 -->
00:26:24.366So let's say I was walking past a menstruator, I was taking a swig of it and he smelled it.
00:26:24.366 -->
00:26:25.348I was like what's that?
00:26:25.348 -->
00:26:26.151Let me smell that.
00:26:26.151 -->
00:26:27.133You know what I'm saying.
00:26:27.133 -->
00:26:34.830But if I didn't have it in sight and all I smelled like was alcohol, it would be something different, because they're not.
00:26:34.830 -->
00:26:38.769You know, unless you're talking to them directly, you can't smell them.
00:26:38.769 -->
00:26:45.900Unless you're a real alcoholic at the age of 16, 17 years old the age of 16, 17 years old, which a lot of them kind of were.
00:26:46.059 -->
00:26:50.790But you know, a lot of times, as long as you you know, you know how it is.
00:26:50.790 -->
00:26:57.505Even in college one of my brothers used to bring alcohol and I'd be sitting behind him when he cracked it open.
00:26:57.505 -->
00:26:58.228I could smell it.
00:26:58.228 -->
00:27:03.345So I know, I know administrators can smell it.
00:27:03.345 -->
00:27:09.328That's why we were always like you know, just keep it down If you're going to be drinking or whatever.
00:27:10.200 -->
00:27:18.832Yeah, it's all you know yo question for you and you're um.
00:27:18.832 -->
00:27:39.125In your personal experience, um do you think um getting older, um has changed what you think about society and, uh, what you want your preferred lifestyle to be man, where you be coming up with these hard-ass questions that's not our question.
00:27:39.125 -->
00:27:43.977You should be thinking about these, you're, you should be thinking about these things anyway man, that's not hard.
00:27:43.977 -->
00:27:46.290Let's start with the first one, the first part of that.
00:27:46.611 -->
00:27:50.750Look, look, you got older, right, you're older this year.
00:27:50.750 -->
00:27:58.935Money, fuck my wife okay, that's yours that's just that's your particular.
00:27:59.037 -->
00:28:10.952Yes, I get that, but society, for an example, has your views, since you've gotten older changed.
00:28:11.575 -->
00:28:14.563I just think all these motherfuckers crazy that's it.
00:28:14.603 -->
00:28:15.705You didn't think they were crazy back then.
00:28:15.726 -->
00:28:18.571No, back then I thought shit was cool, like all the dumb shit that people be doing.
00:28:18.571 -->
00:28:18.932Oh yeah, that's.
00:28:18.932 -->
00:28:19.192Oh yeah, yeah.
00:28:19.192 -->
00:28:20.915I won't thought shit was cool, like all the dumb shit that people be doing.
00:28:20.915 -->
00:28:21.676I'm like, oh yeah, that's.
00:28:21.676 -->
00:28:22.920Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to be like that.
00:28:22.940 -->
00:28:26.609And then now I'm looking at Dumb shit like what Shit you actually seen, or shit you seen on TV.
00:28:26.964 -->
00:28:37.555Shit that I see on like TV stuff that I see some cool.
00:28:37.555 -->
00:28:41.621Back then I look back and I'm like, damn, I thought that shit was cool.
00:28:41.621 -->
00:28:47.114What the fuck was I thinking about?
00:28:47.114 -->
00:28:48.596Now I just think that we're all crazy.
00:28:48.596 -->
00:28:50.490Now I see what my steps are.
00:28:50.490 -->
00:28:52.450The same thing.
00:28:52.450 -->
00:28:54.470This would be cool to do.
00:28:54.470 -->
00:28:55.554Let me do something crazy.
00:28:55.554 -->
00:28:59.289I'm just like this.
00:29:01.247 -->
00:29:03.073Basically, you have no hope for society.
00:29:03.073 -->
00:29:05.833I have Everybody's crazy.
00:29:06.705 -->
00:29:14.472Everybody look, as we've gotten older, I feel like we have gotten better and been like, okay, we gotta get better.
00:29:14.472 -->
00:29:19.394But if you look at the people who are younger, I don't see no hope for us.
00:29:21.644 -->
00:29:39.939If these little motherfuckers going to be running our government, we're doomed sometimes I wonder if the politicians in office now, and in every single realm of it, if they think that because there's some old motherfuckers in the office, including our president, current president single realm of it.
00:29:39.939 -->
00:29:42.801If they think that, because there's some old motherfuckers in the office, including our president, current president.
00:29:43.248 -->
00:29:45.097Biden, what about 105?
00:29:45.097 -->
00:29:46.285, 107?
00:29:46.285 -->
00:29:57.924Yeah, that nigga old Trump ain't too far behind him at 101, 103 fucking old ass, motherfucker.
00:29:58.693 -->
00:30:03.280Sometimes I'm like get your old ass off that stage.
00:30:03.280 -->
00:30:06.769Everything you look old you move old you sound old.
00:30:07.807 -->
00:30:14.025The amount of pills he's taking just to make himself look good and possibly be able to sleep with some woman is ridiculous.
00:30:14.025 -->
00:30:17.805He got heart problems, diabetes, high blood pressure.
00:30:17.805 -->
00:30:20.134You know you're taking the Viagra.
00:30:20.967 -->
00:30:32.211Let's just go this way the lowest hanging fruit and that motherfucker fat, because you can have all those things and be skinny or be slim.
00:30:32.211 -->
00:30:36.756He's fat, he's fat, yeah, fat ass Nah.
00:30:47.384 -->
00:30:47.885Let me start on that goop.
00:30:47.885 -->
00:30:48.146Um, all right.
00:30:48.146 -->
00:30:48.909Oh, you think we, you think we doing.
00:30:48.909 -->
00:30:49.570Yeah, I think I think we're doing.
00:30:49.570 -->
00:30:58.652I mean, I I still feel like that the younger generation has an opportunity to be better and to get themselves together.
00:30:58.652 -->
00:31:09.011But with what I'm seeing and what's becoming popular and what's making them famous to get their millions or a hundred, couple hundred thousand, I don't, I don't see too much.
00:31:09.011 -->
00:31:23.484I mean don't get me wrong Like that's just looking at the minority of people doing dumb shit, not counting for the majority of people who are actually doing something and for the majority of people who are actually doing something.
00:31:25.525 -->
00:31:27.805So I think, for the ones that are doing something, that are going to make some of themselves, I think we'll be fine.
00:31:27.805 -->
00:31:34.353It's just of how bad the time forward is going to be and how dumb shit's going to get it.
00:31:34.353 -->
00:31:43.640So you know how, like, balance has gradually increased over the years and all that, and how things are done and how careless people are.
00:31:43.640 -->
00:31:47.255I think we're at an all time high of that at some point.
00:31:49.849 -->
00:31:50.492Yeah, I can see that.
00:31:51.667 -->
00:31:55.857You know, back in the day it wasn't all these cameras and you could get away with certain things and whatever.
00:31:55.984 -->
00:31:59.134Now, that just makes me think was it always like that back in the day?
00:31:59.134 -->
00:32:01.532And now that there's cameras, we see more of it.
00:32:01.953 -->
00:32:05.113Yeah, but it was a different coup back then.
00:32:05.113 -->
00:32:16.108Along with it was, I don't want to say it was more honorable, but I feel like a lot of them were more honorable.
00:32:16.128 -->
00:32:19.017You know what I mean.
00:32:19.017 -->
00:32:21.553They were held accountable, let's just put it that way.
00:32:21.553 -->
00:32:26.375So you had no choice but to be honorable in that particular system.
00:32:26.375 -->
00:32:33.355When I say I don't mean by uh, being right or being good, I mean you could be honorable.
00:32:33.516 -->
00:32:35.905And then in the seedy underworld you know what I mean.
00:32:35.905 -->
00:32:45.105Like you, you you're doing this shit with honor and you know to the code and to the rules and stuff like that, I think it was more someone was gonna hold you accountable.
00:32:45.105 -->
00:32:52.837So in that regard, but, um, yeah, yeah, man, I kind of agree with you.
00:32:52.837 -->
00:32:58.518Like, uh, the way I see society, I don't know, man, people just don't have.
00:32:58.518 -->
00:33:00.683No, I can't say.
00:33:00.683 -->
00:33:02.250People, I agree with what you're saying.
00:33:02.250 -->
00:33:23.530Um, as I've gotten older I ain't gonna lie I honestly thought things would be better than what I saw as a kid or as a teenager, and not that I saw some crazy effed up stuff, but it's just like some of the things that we'd be having issues with.
00:33:23.530 -->
00:33:28.796And then I get older and I kind of read back or look at something with better context because I'm older to understand.
00:33:29.439 -->
00:33:39.488I'd be like this shit's still going on yeah like to the point where, like, let's just say racism, for an example I talk to my wife about this shit all the time.
00:33:39.488 -->
00:33:42.229I was like yo, that has to be a form of retardation.
00:33:42.229 -->
00:33:44.133I was like there is no.
00:33:44.133 -->
00:33:45.777I know they say it's taught and it's not.
00:33:45.777 -->
00:33:47.048You know it's not.
00:33:47.048 -->
00:33:48.069Uh, racism is taught.
00:33:48.069 -->
00:33:49.515It's not like something that you're born with.
00:33:49.515 -->
00:33:54.191But I'm like, at some point you have to see some signs along the way that you go.
00:33:54.191 -->
00:33:54.750You know what.
00:33:54.750 -->
00:33:56.874This don't make no sense.
00:33:56.874 -->
00:34:01.641You know what I mean, like, but yet it's still here.
00:34:03.625 -->
00:34:13.391But, yeah, man, I always thought that fucking the shit that I would see on TV or just like, oh, living single, that's how it's supposed to be.
00:34:13.391 -->
00:34:17.074I'm going to make enough money to you know?
00:34:17.074 -->
00:34:19.652Well, maybe not, but cause they was all sharing an apartment, would you go to me?
00:34:19.652 -->
00:34:26.251I'm going to have a high-earning job and I'm going to get to do these cool things and this, this and that and go on wacky adventures every.
00:34:26.251 -->
00:34:26.552Uh.
00:34:26.552 -->
00:34:28.733That's what my life's going to be like.
00:34:29.387 -->
00:34:31.989Which would always trip me out about living single.
00:34:32.048 -->
00:34:41.635In general, you have an apartment, but upstairs yeah, it's a duplex, a loft, an apartment with a loft.
00:34:41.635 -->
00:34:42.764Yeah, it was in Brownstones, so that's a thing.
00:34:42.764 -->
00:34:45.246It just got converted into an apartment.
00:34:45.246 -->
00:34:46.088That's a thing in New York.
00:34:47.112 -->
00:34:47.313It's a.
00:34:47.313 -->
00:34:47.554Thing.
00:34:47.554 -->
00:34:54.090I've been in some, you know, looking back at it, I was so puzzled by like wait, how do you have a?
00:34:54.090 -->
00:34:55.547It looked like a whole house.
00:34:55.547 -->
00:34:56.708You got all these things.
00:34:56.708 -->
00:35:01.018At least with Martin it was all one floor of an apartment, yeah.
00:35:04.052 -->
00:35:10.632The one thing that always triggered me about Martin trying to write right next to Shanaynay door there was an incinerator.
00:35:10.632 -->
00:35:17.730But I didn't know what an incinerator was or could pronounce it at the time that I was watching it, because that was when I was in third grade and shit.
00:35:17.730 -->
00:35:23.505But I'm like damn like if you had that apartment now would you want to live next to the fucking incinerator?
00:35:23.505 -->
00:35:28.192People every day coming up to your front door opening up that hatch, throwing shit in there.
00:35:29.576 -->
00:35:30.056Yeah.
00:35:31.025 -->
00:35:41.092My wife before she the drinks that on Baltimore have that college park, not that college park, the college park Buffalo Wild Wings.
00:35:41.605 -->
00:35:41.885Yeah.
00:35:42.449 -->
00:35:43.291The apartments over there.
00:35:43.291 -->
00:35:44.166They had an incinerator.
00:35:44.166 -->
00:35:45.431Why'd you stay over there?
00:35:45.431 -->
00:35:50.094They just throw your trash in that bitch and I don't know, I don't know what happens out there.
00:35:50.094 -->
00:35:54.349I had one of them bitches, but that was outside, going towards the garage.
00:35:54.349 -->
00:35:57.974That was inside the fucking building, so you know it shouldn't any place stink.
00:36:03.027 -->
00:36:09.532But yeah, man, I always thought shit was going to be like that or even like I want better being in school.
00:36:09.532 -->
00:36:12.490You know how you watch Nickelodeon or Disney and shit like that.
00:36:12.490 -->
00:36:17.514I'd be like, oh, my next school year is going to be just like this and when I get there it ain't like that at all.
00:36:17.514 -->
00:36:23.150Society has a way of selling you dreams to keep you pushing forward to.
00:36:23.150 -->
00:36:28.027You know the uh to do the things that they want you to do, whoever they is.
00:36:28.027 -->
00:36:30.914Yeah, because I remember talking to one of my home girls.
00:36:30.914 -->
00:36:42.329I was like, whenever I used to see shit like uh, stuff on nickelodeon or, um, the disney channel and shit like that, like the families and shit and the houses they would stay in.
00:36:42.329 -->
00:36:55.054Yeah, I would just imagine like in my area those places would be like Fairfax, Virginia, because every time my mom or whoever we like, we drive through VA and go to that area, it was just like completely different.
00:36:55.054 -->
00:37:10.190Even though we didn't live in a bad area where we uh stayed, it was just more or less like no trash on the street, houses look nice, kids playing in the yard, people watching their cars it looked like something out of a fucking movie or out of a TV show.
00:37:10.190 -->
00:37:16.614So that's just me, I would say.
00:37:19.192 -->
00:37:29.318I had a very optimistic look on society when I was younger and now it's just more of us like how do I stay away from the bullshit?
00:37:29.318 -->
00:37:36.599And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of positivity with society right now.
00:37:36.599 -->
00:37:39.556But it's kind of like you.
00:37:39.556 -->
00:37:44.286You gotta break yourself away from the bullshit just to kind of see what the positive stuff is.
00:37:44.286 -->
00:37:45.452It's not right in your face.
00:37:45.452 -->
00:37:47.931The bad stuff is always going to be right in your face.
00:37:47.931 -->
00:37:53.012The negative shit, yeah.
00:37:53.012 -->
00:37:54.407The positive shit it's.
00:37:54.407 -->
00:37:58.652You know it's there, but you know.
00:38:00.188 -->
00:38:03.733They have you believe that you can work these low level jobs and have a place to stay.
00:38:04.768 -->
00:38:13.474The dreams they sold us back then did you hear about the guy that, not only that, and then the jobs.
00:38:13.474 -->
00:38:14.369They treat you like shit.
00:38:14.369 -->
00:38:16.597They literally like I'm going to treat you like a number.
00:38:16.597 -->
00:38:19.807I don't care if you see I'm treating you like a number or employee number was what I mean.
00:38:19.807 -->
00:38:20.949I don't care if you see I'm treating you like a number or an employee number is what I mean.
00:38:20.949 -->
00:38:23.505I don't care if you see me treat you as an employee number.
00:38:23.505 -->
00:38:24.610You is what you is.
00:38:24.610 -->
00:38:25.728That type of shit.
00:38:25.728 -->
00:38:26.411You are what you are.
00:38:26.411 -->
00:38:34.132For example, I don't know if you've seen it or heard about it or not, but the guy in Texas, the security guard.
00:38:36.045 -->
00:38:37.431I didn't hear about the guy in Texas.
00:38:38.105 -->
00:38:38.927Yeah, he.
00:38:38.927 -->
00:38:45.615So basically he's doing security and he's doing security actually.
00:38:46.425 -->
00:38:51.177Attacked on the job by two guys he believes were trying to steal his car.
00:38:51.177 -->
00:38:56.577He says he is disappointed in how police and his boss handled the situation.
00:38:56.577 -->
00:39:01.346Fox 7's John Krynjak joining us live from East Austin with more on this tonight.
00:39:01.346 -->
00:39:11.952John, yeah, mike, rebecca, we interviewed security officer Percy Payne outside this garage where the attack happened on Monday night.
00:39:11.952 -->
00:39:15.867During our interview, percy Payne's supervisor showed up.
00:39:15.867 -->
00:39:18.974An argument ensued between the two of them.
00:39:18.974 -->
00:39:27.697That argument ended with Mr Payne quitting his job and the supervisor saying that the attack was his fault.
00:39:27.697 -->
00:39:37.309This was not how security guard Percy Payne expected his shift to go Monday night at this office building on East 6th and Brushy.
00:39:37.309 -->
00:39:45.221It all started around 9 30 when he spotted on surveillance video two guys going inside the private underground garage.
00:39:45.221 -->
00:39:47.447The door was apparently stuck open.
00:39:47.726 -->
00:39:52.237I witnessed two young Hispanic males on two electric scooters.
00:39:52.297 -->
00:39:57.713He went downstairs to check it out and he says he saw the teens messing around with his personal car.
00:39:58.273 -->
00:40:02.467One individual was at my driver door with his back to me, looking back.
00:40:02.467 -->
00:40:07.557The other individual was at my passenger door facing me, being a lookout.
00:40:07.818 -->
00:40:10.251The suspect saw him and ran off.
00:40:10.251 -->
00:40:15.349He chased after them and says he tried to detain them until someone could call the cops.
00:40:15.349 -->
00:40:17.175Then things got physical.
00:40:17.596 -->
00:40:23.070Young individual tried to run me over with his scooter multiple times and then that's when HR started to assault.
00:40:23.112 -->
00:40:26.467Payne says he noticed a screwdriver in one of their pockets.
00:40:26.869 -->
00:40:31.246I heard the individual say hold him, and that's when he went for the screwdriver to try to stab me.
00:40:31.246 -->
00:40:36.036I let them go and immediately went to get my work phone to call 9-1-1.
00:40:36.157 -->
00:40:44.034Payne told the dispatcher he wasn't hurt badly enough to require EMS, but needed an officer to respond because of what happened to him.
00:40:44.556 -->
00:40:52.847Even though I told her I got assaulted, she told me we will not be sending police officers out there because they did not steal your car.
00:40:52.847 -->
00:40:54.130And that is when I hung up.
00:40:54.309 -->
00:40:56.876He called 911 again a few minutes later.
00:40:57.425 -->
00:40:58.668I got a different operator.
00:40:58.668 -->
00:41:00.474I told her the situation.
00:41:00.474 -->
00:41:01.958She apologized.
00:41:02.224 -->
00:41:04.811About an hour after that an officer did arrive.
00:41:04.811 -->
00:41:15.637Tupain says was very helpful and the attack is being investigated by detectives as an aggravated assault Officer told me that that call should have been an emergency case.
00:41:15.764 -->
00:41:24.351APD telling Fox 7 Wednesday night they listened to both 911 calls and, quote it sounds like it was handled correctly and within policy.
00:41:24.351 -->
00:41:29.777Apd says an officer didn't respond the first time because it didn't meet certain criteria.
00:41:29.777 -->
00:41:32.485Quote the suspects were no longer on scene.
00:41:32.485 -->
00:41:38.567In this case the caller stated that he was fine, did not need EMS and no vehicle was stolen.
00:41:38.567 -->
00:41:43.251So we would not respond to an attempted car break-in or a stolen vehicle attempt.
00:41:43.672 -->
00:41:46.626I don't think that it was taken as seriously as it should have been.
00:41:46.846 -->
00:41:55.556It was as we were discussing this that Payne's supervisor with Preby Security walked up and asked him to stop talking with us while he was on the job.
00:41:55.818 -->
00:41:59.489We are very sorry that what happened to you.
00:41:59.489 -->
00:42:03.588We have a policy you're not supposed to do any interviews in your uniform.
00:42:03.588 -->
00:42:07.094If you wanna do this as a private citizen, you can.
00:42:07.094 -->
00:42:14.456I understand what you're saying, but it's also my safety and this is the only way my situation will get out there.
00:42:14.664 -->
00:42:18.275Things escalated with Percy making the decision to quit.
00:42:18.275 -->
00:42:19.947Take your uniform off.
00:42:19.947 -->
00:42:21.452Yes, ma'am, yes ma'am.
00:42:21.452 -->
00:42:23.356But the argument continued.
00:42:23.356 -->
00:42:27.510I'm pretty sure I wouldn't touch him.
00:42:27.891 -->
00:42:28.813You touched him.
00:42:28.813 -->
00:42:29.875Is it my fault?
00:42:29.875 -->
00:42:32.789I would say yes, every bit of it is your fault.
00:42:32.789 -->
00:42:34.375Okay, thank you, here you go.
00:42:34.375 -->
00:42:41.094No worries the fact that my supervisor basically told me it was my fault that I got assaulted.
00:42:41.094 -->
00:42:42.757That let me know all I needed to know.
00:42:45.326 -->
00:42:48.835Now, tonight, payne tells you Straight crazy right.
00:42:50.425 -->
00:42:52.434So it was my fault that I got assaulted.
00:42:56.565 -->
00:42:57.851It was security.
00:42:57.851 -->
00:43:03.108So she basically just wanted him to just like show face like yo.
00:43:03.108 -->
00:43:05.469We got this contract to show that we got security.
00:43:05.469 -->
00:43:07.068But we don't want you doing nothing.
00:43:07.068 -->
00:43:17.007It's your fault that you got attacked, even though you was kind of securing the premises and shit and he's unarmed security.
00:43:17.447 -->
00:43:18.871Don't let him be unarmed security.
00:43:18.871 -->
00:43:19.454That might have been.
00:43:19.454 -->
00:43:21.199We would have been, yo, he would have let off.
00:43:21.199 -->
00:43:21.900What did it mean?
00:43:21.900 -->
00:43:22.503He's a crew driver.
00:43:22.503 -->
00:43:24.871We would have been talking about two.
00:43:24.871 -->
00:43:33.655Two dead, we would have been talking about two bodies Sheesh man, Shit.
00:43:33.976 -->
00:43:34.378Don't let him.
00:43:34.378 -->
00:43:35.338That's what I mean, man.
00:43:35.338 -->
00:43:37.324It's just like that's what I was saying.
00:43:37.324 -->
00:43:50.206Like in society, like the hope that you have, like you see shit like that all the time and you do see the positive shit and I'll just be like god damn, I thought it would be more positive, I thought it would be like you know what marlo the king was right.
00:43:50.206 -->
00:43:57.804You'll see a lot more of that, but nah, I mean the 9-1-1 code, which they were like.
00:43:57.864 -->
00:44:03.568It meant the guidelines, but if it is an attempted burglary, come to a fucker police report.
00:44:03.588 -->
00:44:06.896Collect some tapes, motherfucker, you know what I mean.
00:44:06.985 -->
00:44:08.251I'm security calling you.
00:44:08.251 -->
00:44:10.291In theory it's non.
00:44:10.291 -->
00:44:22.010It might be a non-emergency, but you still send an officer out there to fingerprint, assess the scene, all the other stuff, but you're like we're not sending nobody out.
00:44:22.010 -->
00:44:24.567It's like what you send people?
00:44:24.567 -->
00:44:29.130You send a police officer out for he said, she said things.
00:44:29.311 -->
00:44:35.992Right, or the person next door to me is loud oh, someone parked in my spot and they won't move.
00:44:35.992 -->
00:44:46.612But you'll send out for that, but not for someone who's just fighting for his life, to give you a finger press for some kids who might have a record Like come on.
00:44:46.632 -->
00:44:48.135That's what I'm saying, man.
00:44:48.135 -->
00:44:50.101That's what I'm saying.
00:44:52.088 -->
00:44:52.893If that's the case.
00:44:52.893 -->
00:44:59.909So what you're telling me is, because we all know that you can't I know you can't press charges unless something happens.
00:44:59.909 -->
00:45:08.615If someone pulls up to your house with a gun and was like I'm going to kill you, you can call all you want and say hey, did they kill you?
00:45:08.615 -->
00:45:10.090No, well, if they do, let us know.
00:45:10.090 -->
00:45:11.369That's how it sounds.
00:45:14.045 -->
00:45:14.467Listen.
00:45:14.467 -->
00:45:19.634That made me have like no faith and then turn around I was like I got a little bit of faith.
00:45:19.634 -->
00:45:20.193He got it.
00:45:20.193 -->
00:45:21.849I think somebody offered him a job.
00:45:21.849 -->
00:45:42.146He has the job now like all within like some hours and shit like that, because it's kind of like yo, like he quit right there on TV, like she came and embarrassed that man on TV and made him feel like he weren't worth shit and told him it was his fault that all this was doing his job, like the thing wasn't oh, the thing was open.
00:45:42.887 -->
00:45:53.704They rolled up in there, they took the opportunity to break and try to break into a car they had a screw, that they had a screwdriver, because you know what they're about to do.
00:45:53.704 -->
00:45:57.110They're about to jam it into the, into the thing and try and crank it.
00:45:57.110 -->
00:45:59.757But cars don't crank like that, no more.
00:45:59.757 -->
00:46:00.958Some of them still do.
00:46:02.166 -->
00:46:03.833The old ones, the old ones.
00:46:04.485 -->
00:46:07.614But you ain't cranking.
00:46:07.614 -->
00:46:15.407Someone was saying how they got to wait to steal the push-to-start cars.
00:46:15.407 -->
00:46:18.295You need an S-USB or this other shit.
00:46:18.295 -->
00:46:30.695By the time you get through breaking into the car, breaking open a little panel underneath or breaking whatever thing, is plugging the usb, doing all this other stuff.
00:46:30.695 -->
00:46:34.550What was?
00:46:34.550 -->
00:46:39.518That is not an in and out, that is is not going in 60 seconds, taking too much time, yeah.
00:46:42.744 -->
00:46:49.934You know, yeah, you might do it at 4 o'clock in the morning, but let's say or daylight, what it seemed like it was that one.
00:46:49.934 -->
00:46:55.695I mean because all these cars got alarms on it, not all of them?
00:46:55.695 -->
00:47:01.416Oh yeah, every car now has them, unless it's an old, old, old car I got a 2015.
00:47:01.436 -->
00:47:01.938I don't have one.
00:47:02.844 -->
00:47:04.853Man, all cars got an alarm.
00:47:05.485 -->
00:47:07.873I just told you I got a 2015 that don't have one.
00:47:08.226 -->
00:47:10.152Hit the close button twice, you got an alarm.
00:47:11.905 -->
00:47:14.684Yeah, I got to hit the close button twice in order for that to happen.
00:47:14.684 -->
00:47:16.331This is not motion.
00:47:20.105 -->
00:47:21.192Speaking of that, I need to see about that, though.
00:47:21.192 -->
00:47:23.364I'm talking about as far as once they open that door, that alarm goes off.
00:47:23.364 -->
00:47:29.032Like if I lock my doors they can break the window, but once they open the door, the alarm goes off.
00:47:29.032 -->
00:47:41.436Yeah, it's all on the entrance of the vehicle, so, but all the time you take by doing that, once the alarm goes off, it's like hold up what the hell's going on.
00:47:44.420 -->
00:47:54.931And then breaking into people's houses is just as dangerous, especially if they hear you coming in and they got the gun right there, yeah, but in Maryland you got to wait for them to come in their house before you let off.
00:47:54.931 -->
00:47:57.284Hey, they can be at the front door.
00:47:57.284 -->
00:48:11.001I just said that they got an outback like officer.
00:48:11.041 -->
00:48:21.614When I got knocked his ass right back out the house, I don't know what to tell you he's got one foot in that pile so what's?
00:48:21.614 -->
00:48:26.695So you gotta let him take two feet into the house hey look, one foot is enough I got scared.
00:48:26.695 -->
00:48:30.467He had a gun in his hand well, sir, we didn't find a gun.
00:48:30.507 -->
00:48:31.389Well, I didn't know.
00:48:31.389 -->
00:48:35.097I thought it was a gun in his hand, shit it's.
00:48:35.097 -->
00:48:51.793It's like even like people are like rolling up to the ring cameras with masks on, I'm like you're not, that that's not a smart thing to do, not that it's not the smartest thing to do as far as wearing a mask.
00:48:51.793 -->
00:48:53.847But you also have to remember those things.
00:48:53.847 -->
00:48:56.135Start recording after a certain point.
00:48:56.135 -->
00:49:04.009So that means if you pull it up in a vehicle with your license plate showing out of the picture, you're going to get caught with that.
00:49:05.632 -->
00:49:07.237Yeah, you know what I mean.
00:49:08.585 -->
00:49:17.472Or even if you pull up to so, because where we have our ring cameras, our ring cameras go out into the street a little bit just to kind of catch things coming in.
00:49:17.472 -->
00:49:23.710So that's how we caught my stepson, like getting dropped off at the house.
00:49:23.710 -->
00:49:24.612So who dropped you off?
00:49:24.612 -->
00:49:25.715Nobody.
00:49:25.715 -->
00:49:27.420You want to sit here and lie to me.
00:49:27.420 -->
00:49:31.012There's a whole car that was out there.
00:49:31.012 -->
00:49:34.827You walk from around somebody, from the, from the back to the front.
00:49:34.827 -->
00:49:36.771Who dropped you off?
00:49:36.771 -->
00:49:38.996You saw that, yeah.
00:49:42.525 -->
00:49:43.588Which one is that?
00:49:44.210 -->
00:49:52.753Well, you know, I also have my setting that it, once it picks you up, it back records, I think, like 15 seconds.
00:49:52.753 -->
00:49:53.498Yeah.
00:49:53.498 -->
00:50:10.869So just in case, yeah, just in case it back records and then records 15 seconds after, just in case you know, just in case you know it back records and then records 15 seconds after, but no more than that, because 30 seconds is a long time to be looking to see who the hell rolled up on your doorstep.
00:50:11.269 -->
00:50:23.465Nah, my wife would do it, yeah, but but no, with the way some of the stuff I see on the ring camera on like little drinks where you got the ring and you can see where crime is happening.
00:50:23.465 -->
00:50:26.057You see kids.
00:50:26.057 -->
00:50:34.490You see videos of kids checking cars, kids rolling up to your house checking your door teenage you get all of them.
00:50:34.490 -->
00:50:40.193Just like you gotta be kidding me, like y'all not have nothing better to do, like what happened to the good old days of just going to go hoop.
00:50:43.467 -->
00:50:48.753What happened to the good old days was like yo, if I fuck up, I can be in jail and I cannot get no pussy.
00:50:48.753 -->
00:50:53.590I just don't understand, Because jail is glorified.
00:50:54.324 -->
00:50:55.067You haven't noticed.
00:50:55.067 -->
00:50:56.909Look at all the shows you got out there.
00:50:56.929 -->
00:50:57.271Listen.
00:50:57.271 -->
00:50:57.911You go to jail.
00:50:57.911 -->
00:51:00.195They're going to go to jail and be somebody else's pussy.
00:51:00.195 -->
00:51:01.838That is not what you want.
00:51:03.865 -->
00:51:05.052Jail's a short state.
00:51:05.052 -->
00:51:12.115Prison is a different ballgame, because now you got problems in prison.
00:51:13.186 -->
00:51:16.632I'm using them interchangeably, but you know what I mean.
00:51:16.632 -->
00:51:19.608A life of crime will lead you to be in prison.
00:51:19.809 -->
00:51:23.996You've seen 90 days in or 60 days in.
00:51:23.996 -->
00:51:26.447That's jail, that's jail.
00:51:26.447 -->
00:51:27.552That's why you see them.
00:51:27.552 -->
00:51:29.827They kind of survive through it.
00:51:29.827 -->
00:51:30.751All the other stuff.
00:51:30.751 -->
00:51:37.192You're waiting to be sentenced, you're waiting to go to your trials.
00:51:37.192 -->
00:51:42.572You're waiting for some other stuff, sometimes because your crime wasn't serious.
00:51:42.572 -->
00:51:45.677Waiting for some other stuff, yeah, sometimes because your crime wasn't serious enough.
00:51:45.677 -->
00:51:46.217You're just in it.
00:51:46.217 -->
00:51:47.739Yeah, you know I've been in here five years.
00:51:47.739 -->
00:51:51.690Oh, okay, cool, all right.
00:51:51.690 -->
00:51:54.998Yeah, you know I'm blase, blase and I'll be out soon.
00:51:54.998 -->
00:51:58.012All right, cool.
00:51:58.012 -->
00:52:00.722But yeah, alright, cool.
00:52:00.722 -->
00:52:17.126But yeah, they, there's this romanticizing about, about jail, and all the young kids see it and they're just like, oh, it's not that bad it's bad, but you do also see motherfuckers in jail, like I just seen this morning.
00:52:17.969 -->
00:52:30.652A guy had all his chains on some some J's on like a fresh little fit and shit, walked Rolex, buzzed down In prison, took that picture, sent it out and now the shit went viral.
00:52:30.652 -->
00:52:31.827It was on fucking the shade room.
00:52:31.827 -->
00:52:34.132I think I was just like what fed Huh?
00:52:34.614 -->
00:52:36.577It was fed prison, yeah.
00:52:38.226 -->
00:52:38.929I didn't read all that.
00:52:38.929 -->
00:52:42.293I just know the niggas knocked down.
00:52:42.293 -->
00:52:44.570I can't say I just know he's not in the public.
00:52:45.112 -->
00:52:46.775In jail, you get the blues.
00:52:46.775 -->
00:52:49.030In county, you get the blues.
00:52:49.030 -->
00:52:51.065In feds, you get the blues.
00:52:51.065 -->
00:52:54.612He had a whole fresh Nike shirt.
00:52:55.528 -->
00:52:57.891Jeans retro 11s.
00:52:57.891 -->
00:52:58.512Cuban chains.
00:52:58.512 -->
00:53:00.740Jeans retro 11s.
00:53:00.740 -->
00:53:06.891Bust down Cuban chains, rings and a Rolex.
00:53:06.891 -->
00:53:08.407I'm like how the fuck you get all that in there.
00:53:10.833 -->
00:53:24.650Well, if it's a you don't know, I mean because, like I said, when you go to county you ain't know.
00:53:24.650 -->
00:53:26.456I mean because you, like I said, when you go to county, you ain't walking around like that.
00:53:26.456 -->
00:53:28.485You know what I'm saying, eric you, you try to keep up as low of a profile as possible.
00:53:28.704 -->
00:53:30.389No, I get that, I get all that.
00:53:30.630 -->
00:53:40.916It's just like, and he got to end the gap and he's out there yeah, maybe, uh, insider traded it and got to one of the light security ones where they let you have a guitar and a TV.
00:53:40.916 -->
00:53:53.112Your J's, your chains, yeah, and you were the white collar fed crimes where they're in minimum security.
00:53:53.112 -->
00:53:55.572Yeah, I could see it.
00:53:55.572 -->
00:53:57.862I could see it.
00:53:58.324 -->
00:54:00.769Let me see if I can find this shit, just to see if I can show you the picture.
00:54:00.769 -->
00:54:01.231Hello.
00:54:02.746 -->
00:54:04.809I was watching a show and they were talking about.
00:54:04.809 -->
00:54:08.396He was like, yeah, you know, so they let me have my guitar.
00:54:08.396 -->
00:54:09.159I got my picture.
00:54:09.159 -->
00:54:14.528I have a small TV and, you know, in the cell I'm like and it's just a cell, but it looked nice.
00:54:14.528 -->
00:54:15.590I'm like what the fuck?
00:54:15.590 -->
00:54:25.795How the hell he get to have his guitar, books, tv, he living the dream.
00:54:25.795 -->
00:54:28.434He went in a little bit of time.
00:54:30.239 -->
00:54:33.047I don't know if I'm going to find it because it's so fucking new.
00:54:33.047 -->
00:54:36.422I'm just like I can't believe this shit.
00:54:37.536 -->
00:54:38.860You know what I don't look at?
00:54:38.860 -->
00:54:39.561No shade room.
00:54:39.561 -->
00:54:43.181Huh, I don't read none of that stuff.
00:54:43.916 -->
00:54:51.623So I don't frequent it, but I'm assuming it was a shade room, because I don't really remember Because it was this morning.
00:54:51.623 -->
00:54:53.262I'm like this shit ain't real.
00:54:53.262 -->
00:54:57.063And then I didn't even read the comments, I just was like man, bullshit.
00:54:57.063 -->
00:54:58.610And then I'm thinking about it.
00:54:58.610 -->
00:55:01.838When you say it's glorified, that might be the reason why.
00:55:01.838 -->
00:55:10.585Uh, that might be the reason why they don't, um, they don't see prison or jail time as nothing is, because of stuff like that.
00:55:11.188 -->
00:55:25.644If you always see them, like the pictures coming out on or they on Instagram, or this, this and that, like like Tax Stone and then fucking and Joe Budden still going at it, and I'm like how, like I don't get that.
00:55:25.644 -->
00:55:27.702I mean, I get it but I don't get it.
00:55:27.702 -->
00:55:32.916So I don't know, I can't find that shit.
00:55:32.916 -->
00:55:52.860I ain't want to look for it, but yeah, man, I, you know I still got high hopes for society and shit, even though it's, it's just been proven that you know the rich stay richer.
00:55:52.860 -->
00:56:00.748Nepotism always wins and you need poor people because they build this country.
00:56:00.748 -->
00:56:23.684So yeah, speaking of nepotism, Bronny James, if this could either go horribly wrong or wrong, I can't see.
00:56:23.684 -->
00:56:24.639Do you think so?
00:56:24.639 -->
00:56:26.842You think the first?
00:56:26.842 -->
00:56:28.661Do you think the deal is.
00:56:28.661 -->
00:56:32.721What we don't know is like maybe the first preseason games or the first couple games.
00:56:32.721 -->
00:56:35.284He in the G League he in the G League already.
00:56:36.735 -->
00:56:38.722Summer League, he ain't gonna be that great.
00:56:38.722 -->
00:56:47.840The only reason he makes the roster is on a two-way contract between the Lakers and the G League.
00:56:47.840 -->
00:56:49.224Yeah, I agree.
00:56:49.224 -->
00:56:55.804Ain't no way he making that roster.
00:56:55.804 -->
00:57:08.789Don't get me wrong Second-round picks make rosters all the time, but compared to his teammates at USC, he was the worst of all of them.
00:57:08.789 -->
00:57:11.625He showed potential and sparks of it.
00:57:11.625 -->
00:57:14.143He was better off staying another year.
00:57:14.974 -->
00:57:16.842He needed a little bit more development, which you're saying.
00:57:17.202 -->
00:57:26.603Yeah, he came back from the cardiac arrest which, because we were talking about that, I was like you know, he came back from cardiac arrest.
00:57:26.603 -->
00:57:38.447They won't say what really happened because you don't just you do just go into cardiac arrest, but you don do just go into cardiac arrest, but you don't just go into cardiac arrest, not at that age and not that sort of peak physicalness.
00:57:38.447 -->
00:57:45.288So, as you know, with sports in general, we won't say what level.
00:57:45.288 -->
00:58:05.083There could have been some um hazing involved that they just wouldn't do because, honestly, because you go to cardiac arrest and workouts during non-school time, which is not permitted by the NCAA, so you go into cardiac arrest.
00:58:05.083 -->
00:58:11.755You know, I forgot when somebody said he played college basketball.
00:58:11.755 -->
00:58:14.284He said at the time that he went into it.
00:58:14.284 -->
00:58:21.960It was before they allowed the teams to actually start practicing and trying out and all the other stuff.
00:58:21.960 -->
00:58:26.422This had to be something isolated in the training facility.
00:58:26.422 -->
00:58:37.266He said it's a lot of stuff that goes on behind closed doors that no one knows, but we'll never know.
00:58:38.795 -->
00:58:42.405Yeah, and of course all that's hush-hush anyway.
00:58:43.074 -->
00:58:45.601Yeah, and for him to go into cardiac arrest.
00:58:45.601 -->
00:58:49.382The meds were there, so that means he was all right.
00:58:49.382 -->
00:58:53.137But you know, cardiac arrest if no one, all right, but cardiac arrest if not, what?
00:58:53.137 -->
00:58:59.760If I was going to cardiac arrest right now and it's just my wife here nine times out of ten, you're dead.
00:59:00.936 -->
00:59:08.846It is what it is, the guy that played for the Bills was lucky that they were on the scene, Bronny was lucky that they were on the scene.
00:59:08.846 -->
00:59:16.358But those are just some things that you know.
00:59:16.358 -->
00:59:22.440But when he got back he still didn't play to what we thought the potential would be.
00:59:22.440 -->
00:59:25.461He honestly played how I thought he was going to play.
00:59:27.181 -->
00:59:36.601I'm going to tell you like this even if there is a G League stipulation, I don't think he plays.
00:59:36.601 -->
00:59:38.826Oh, no, he'll play.
00:59:38.826 -->
00:59:40.168He'll play in the G League.
00:59:40.168 -->
00:59:46.327No, no, no, I don't think he wants to Think about it.
00:59:46.327 -->
00:59:56.764You're probably only doing this for your dad, just to say that y'all did it, and LeBron James, Lebron James, Lebron James Jr, probably could do something else.
00:59:56.764 -->
00:59:58.059Bryce is a superstar.
00:59:58.059 -->
00:59:58.661We all know this.
00:59:58.661 -->
01:00:03.115Bryce is the up-and-coming superstar Bryce is nice.
01:00:03.396 -->
01:00:03.918I like Bryce.
01:00:03.918 -->
01:00:04.500I like Bryce.
01:00:04.500 -->
01:00:11.822He's going to be something to fuck with.
01:00:11.822 -->
01:00:26.324He's going to be the lamello ball of the group Not that Lonzo isn't good and if he can make it back from that injury he could.
01:00:26.896 -->
01:00:28.123I don't know if he's making it back.
01:00:30.219 -->
01:00:31.184I hope he does.
01:00:31.184 -->
01:00:34.860I hope he does Because I like Lonzo.
01:00:34.860 -->
01:00:43.574You know he wasn't necessarily like a big time, like oh, I'm going to score a bunch of points.
01:00:43.574 -->
01:00:53.824He was like he was a more athletic John Stock, if that makes sense Like he could play defense.
01:00:53.824 -->
01:00:59.659He was looking to pass the ball, he wanted to be set up in the offense but he would score if he needs to.
01:00:59.659 -->
01:01:01.699That's how he was.
01:01:01.699 -->
01:01:04.438He was a taller, more athletic John Stock.
01:01:04.438 -->
01:01:24.487So you know, I'm not sure what is a, I is not sure how it's going, but I think I'm hoping he comes back this year.
01:01:24.487 -->
01:01:27.596I don't know, I don't know how severe that injury was.
01:01:27.596 -->
01:01:29.003I think he just kept aggravating it.
01:01:29.043 -->
01:01:33.349he just needed to recover from it that's possible, possible meeting and he just needs to recover from it.
01:01:33.349 -->
01:01:38.722Yeah, that's possible, super possible.
01:01:38.722 -->
01:01:46.864Injuries are unfortunate when you want to see good players play in any profession.
01:01:46.864 -->
01:01:57.336See Mac getting his decline the way that it happened which is like damn that.
01:01:57.336 -->
01:01:57.657You know.
01:01:57.657 -->
01:01:59.538You hate to see Derrick Rose.
01:01:59.538 -->
01:02:00.722Of all people, you hate to see it.
01:02:00.722 -->
01:02:01.224You know what I mean.
01:02:01.798 -->
01:02:02.766Like it was just like jeez man.
01:02:02.766 -->
01:02:13.458It's heartbreaking as a fan, yeah, more heartbreaking to them because they can't play the way that they know they can Like their body, just can't do it, even though the talent is there that they know they can like their body, just can't do it.
01:02:13.458 -->
01:02:17.621Even though the talent is there and they're like I'm better than these motherfuckers you know what I mean.
01:02:17.621 -->
01:02:19.804Like you still got that type of competitiveness in you.
01:02:19.804 -->
01:02:19.925Yeah.
01:02:19.965 -->
01:02:27.871I mean and luckily for Lonzo Ball's injury he doesn't play in a way that he should aggravate it too much.
01:02:27.871 -->
01:02:33.402I mean, he's still a high-level basketball, but it's not like Rose with all the cutting and moving, jumping, dunking.
01:02:33.422 -->
01:02:37.588Yeah, he ain't doing none of that, and even in Rose's decline he was still nice with it.
01:02:38.215 -->
01:02:43.583Yeah, I mean because what he hurt his knee in 2022.
01:02:43.583 -->
01:02:46.981He hurt his knee in 2022.
01:02:46.981 -->
01:02:54.487And I think he just keeps going back for stuff because stuff keeps getting into it, and it's just.
01:02:54.487 -->
01:02:59.186I think he'll be all right.
01:03:00.009 -->
01:03:00.210Yeah.
01:03:01.396 -->
01:03:07.505I think I, I give, even though the owner of the team says they don't think he'll ever play again.
01:03:09.295 -->
01:03:12.646They don't want to put the money on him, which is understandable.
01:03:13.135 -->
01:03:14.438At 26 years old.
01:03:14.438 -->
01:03:27.844He has a whole lot of basketball ahead of him and even though he hasn't been hooping that meniscus tear and the debris he got in there, he had to keep going in for surgery to get stuff out of it and everything else.
01:03:27.844 -->
01:03:29.719I blame that on doctors.
01:03:29.719 -->
01:03:32.173You know how do you get debris in there.
01:03:32.173 -->
01:03:35.847I need to get this shit out, get my knee right so I can get rolling.
01:03:35.847 -->
01:03:39.617Meniscus tears aren't super bad.
01:03:39.617 -->
01:03:42.280I mean I took my ACL and my lateral meniscus.
01:03:42.280 -->
01:03:46.862I came back three to four months later.
01:03:47.465 -->
01:03:47.684Yeah.
01:03:48.347 -->
01:03:54.699So something went wrong in that whole grand scheme of it.
01:03:54.699 -->
01:04:07.489Yeah, I bet he'll be back opening night this year.
01:04:07.489 -->
01:04:12.293He's played 35 games in the last two years.
01:04:13.496 -->
01:04:14.900Wager that on DraftKings.
01:04:16.606 -->
01:04:16.706I am.
01:04:16.706 -->
01:04:30.880I got him playing opening night, like I said, for a meniscus tear and setbacks to get back to where he was and the surgery to get the debris out.
01:04:30.880 -->
01:04:35.983They weren't repairing his meniscus again.
01:04:35.983 -->
01:04:40.521Eventually, stuff gets in there, some swelling, all that other stuff.
01:04:40.521 -->
01:04:42.778Get all that out.
01:04:42.778 -->
01:04:50.702He'll be there opening night, not starting opening night.
01:04:51.123 -->
01:04:51.503No, no, no.
01:04:52.076 -->
01:05:10.880He'll be there opening night and with it'll be there overnight and with the alice caruso trade um and them getting um, getting giddy um oh, okay, see, yeah, yeah yeah, they, um, they might be opening up to trade them.
01:05:13.786 -->
01:05:15.108Oh, just rebuild around, giddy.
01:05:16.916 -->
01:05:19.043Rebuild around DeRozan.
01:05:20.375 -->
01:05:24.173DeRozan's 37?
01:05:24.173 -->
01:05:24.173.
01:05:25.635 -->
01:05:26.739Nah, DeRozan ain't that old.
01:05:27.563 -->
01:05:31.014Yeah, he is.
01:05:31.014 -->
01:05:33.324Nah, you're right 34.
01:05:37.514 -->
01:05:44.264You can still rebuild around the road, but it all pretty much.
01:05:44.264 -->
01:05:44.925It sounds like the.
01:05:44.965 -->
01:05:57.585Rosen has the best mid game, not the best, the best, yeah, I'm gonna say he has one of the best mid-game in the NBA right now.
01:05:57.585 -->
01:05:59.481He's had it for a long time.
01:06:00.717 -->
01:06:06.007It seems like everybody's waiting to see what Paul George is going to do.
01:06:07.934 -->
01:06:08.637Oh, if he's going to go to.
01:06:10.818 -->
01:06:13.985I think if he goes to Chicago, demar DeRozan is going to re-sign himself.
01:06:13.985 -->
01:06:24.523If he stays with the Clippers, I think DeMar DeRozan might be looking for a new deal from somewhere else.
01:06:29.706 -->
01:06:32.561Shout out to all those guys, even Bronny.
01:06:32.561 -->
01:06:36.577Yo shout out to all those guys, even Bronny, yeah, yo nevermind.
01:06:36.577 -->
01:06:44.346I was going to say what does make you get too cat because you like?
01:06:44.346 -->
01:06:45.697What if his rating is like?
01:06:45.697 -->
01:06:51.474Just what if the whole world just trolls us and they be like his rating is at a 90?
01:06:51.474 -->
01:06:53.530What if the world trolls us and they be like his rating is at a 90.
01:06:53.530 -->
01:06:53.530?
01:06:53.552 -->
01:06:53.954I think his rating.
01:06:53.954 -->
01:06:54.115What if?
01:06:54.135 -->
01:06:58.824the world trolls us and it's just like oh, he played a full season with the Lakers.
01:07:03.155 -->
01:07:07.340His rating is going to be 78.
01:07:07.340 -->
01:07:11.22871.
01:07:11.228 -->
01:07:12.29771?
01:07:12.297 -->
01:07:12.297.
01:07:12.739 -->
01:07:16.240Yeah, yeah, 78 is kind of high If not lower.
01:07:17.177 -->
01:07:20.295I honestly think he needs a 68, if not a 65.
01:07:20.295 -->
01:07:24.827I don't think he should be rated higher than Scalabrini.
01:07:26.835 -->
01:07:27.639All right, you crazy.
01:07:27.639 -->
01:07:40.878Lebron's going to come to your house and Bryce is going to smack you up while LeBron watch, just for you, saying that Scalabrini, scalabrini is way better than him.
01:07:43.786 -->
01:07:43.967Yeah.
01:07:47.356 -->
01:07:49.001But you put him on par with Scalabrini.
01:07:49.744 -->
01:07:50.184Hey look.
01:07:50.898 -->
01:07:52.242Yeah, bryce is coming to slap you up.
01:07:52.242 -->
01:07:53.847Bryce is coming to slap you up, bryce is coming to slap you up.
01:07:54.135 -->
01:08:09.405Look, scalabrini was literally the lowest rated player in 2K Was the lowest rated player and that's why I said he can't be better than Scalabrini.
01:08:09.405 -->
01:08:15.981So you either put him at the same thing, where you know, because I couldn't see Bronny play no defense.
01:08:15.981 -->
01:08:19.195He got some athleticism that come with him.
01:08:19.195 -->
01:08:20.618His jump shot a little broke.
01:08:20.618 -->
01:08:26.041You know You're going to go there to LA.
01:08:26.041 -->
01:08:29.519You're going to get a couple minutes JJ.
01:08:29.519 -->
01:08:38.855You know the reason they even brought JJ Red again was to make sure that, to make sure that Bronny got some playing time.
01:08:39.859 -->
01:08:41.734That's not why I honestly think this is.
01:08:41.734 -->
01:08:49.338I honestly think this is going to be a situation where he plays a couple games, they fulfill it and he don't even go to the G.
01:08:49.338 -->
01:08:53.618He might play the games in the G League and just bows out because he didn't want to do it in the first place.
01:08:54.201 -->
01:09:00.542You don't think, so Fuck no, marcus and Jeff barely wanted to fucking play in college.
01:09:00.542 -->
01:09:07.698Their dad was fucking Michael Jordan and then you got your dad as fucking LeBron.
01:09:07.698 -->
01:09:09.640Do you really need to?
01:09:09.640 -->
01:09:14.802Dad could literally set you up with a job and you can still live like a millionaire.
01:09:15.734 -->
01:09:22.939The Jordan kids, that's a little different because they had a huge legacy to follow.
01:09:24.182 -->
01:09:24.944What do you think?
01:09:24.944 -->
01:09:28.662It's not Michael Jordan's legacy that LeBron has.
01:09:28.662 -->
01:09:29.798Lebron has his legacy.
01:09:29.798 -->
01:09:33.537It is still a huge legacy for his kids to follow, Nah.
01:09:33.578 -->
01:09:34.259I feel like LeBron has his legacy.
01:09:34.259 -->
01:09:35.621It is still a huge legacy for his kids to follow.
01:09:35.621 -->
01:09:36.201Nah, I feel like it's not.
01:09:36.201 -->
01:09:40.867Lebron's legacy is a whole lot easier to follow than Michael Jordan's legacy.
01:09:41.207 -->
01:09:51.384Yo, any put is a thing they only and me and my homie talked about this.
01:09:51.384 -->
01:09:54.342No matter what NBA player kid is in the NBA, ex NBA player kid is in the NBA, Ex-NBA player kid is in the NBA you first.
01:09:54.342 -->
01:09:59.411You still have to prove that you are at least who your daddy's son is.
01:09:59.411 -->
01:10:02.664You know your daddy's son or you surpass your dad.
01:10:02.664 -->
01:10:06.625The only one that has really effectively been able to do that is Steph.
01:10:09.416 -->
01:10:11.121Yeah, and Kobe's dad is in the NBA.
01:10:11.301 -->
01:10:11.662That's right.
01:10:11.662 -->
01:10:12.605That's the only one.
01:10:12.605 -->
01:10:18.270So huge legacy, no matter what I think.
01:10:18.270 -->
01:10:18.494Austin.
01:10:20.119 -->
01:10:21.845I think Austin Rivers did a good job.
01:10:21.885 -->
01:10:27.161No, Austin Rivers talks too much and does nothing.
01:10:27.161 -->
01:10:29.923You know him right.
01:10:29.923 -->
01:10:31.481I still say Austin no, kobe and Steph are the only two.
01:10:31.481 -->
01:10:31.963You know him right.
01:10:31.963 -->
01:10:35.657I still say Austin no, no, he has not done.
01:10:35.657 -->
01:10:37.663Kobe and Steph are the only two.
01:10:42.556 -->
01:10:59.485If I had to choose what legacy I had to follow, I'd rather follow LeBron, because it's hard to follow If I'm the same height as my dad and I'm Michael Jordan's kid there's only one that's the same height as his dad yeah.
01:11:00.137 -->
01:11:03.384Bryce, we're close to it.
01:11:03.384 -->
01:11:05.895That's the one we're talking about.
01:11:05.895 -->
01:11:09.845That's why I said, bronny, I can't see it.
01:11:09.845 -->
01:11:11.054I think this is just for some.
01:11:11.054 -->
01:11:17.921This is literally to have something to talk about and to break a record.
01:11:18.755 -->
01:11:20.020Yeah, Bronny is small.
01:11:21.115 -->
01:11:22.500He like 6'4" right, 6'2" right.
01:11:22.500 -->
01:11:32.097Something like that, yeah, I mean still you know taller than me, but but, still.
01:11:32.238 -->
01:11:39.275I mean, it's like you're going to try and follow your dad's legacy.
01:11:39.275 -->
01:11:44.034First off, your dad was a was a freak of nature as far as what he was doing when he came in.
01:11:44.034 -->
01:11:45.597He still was.
01:11:45.597 -->
01:11:47.400When he first got in.
01:11:47.400 -->
01:12:00.701He kind of lived up to the hype and then kind of grew into the hype, because the only person in my opinion that really kind of really lived up to the hype was Carmelo.
01:12:00.701 -->
01:12:05.454When they first got in Dwayne Wade what are you talking about Dwayne Wade?
01:12:06.858 -->
01:12:07.900How are you going to get?
01:12:07.921 -->
01:12:09.085Dwayne Wade like that.
01:12:09.085 -->
01:12:13.420But honestly I still think Melo should have won Rookie of the Year.
01:12:13.420 -->
01:12:18.423Yeah, Cleveland was horrible, I said.
01:12:18.423 -->
01:12:19.538Well, Denver was horrible too.
01:12:20.060 -->
01:12:21.284Denver was extremely horrible.
01:12:22.676 -->
01:12:33.780But Melo took his team to the playoffs in a harder division and LeBron didn't make the playoffs.
01:12:39.262 -->
01:12:42.507But that was the same year that Dwyane Wade was crossing everyone up.
01:12:43.149 -->
01:12:46.301Yeah, because did the Heat make the playoffs that?
01:12:46.320 -->
01:12:48.466year, I can't recall.
01:12:48.466 -->
01:12:52.003I want to say I want to say they did.
01:12:52.003 -->
01:13:04.947I want to say they did yeah, because I think Shaq came over what year two of Shaq came over year three.
01:13:05.027 -->
01:13:05.849No, he came year three.
01:13:05.849 -->
01:13:14.220Year two he came in year two yeah because that that that was a year that they lost to the Pistons.
01:13:14.220 -->
01:13:15.765Right, yeah, that was the year that they lost to the.
01:13:15.784 -->
01:13:18.613Pistons right, yeah, that was the year they lost.
01:13:18.613 -->
01:13:20.300Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was year two of the win.
01:13:20.300 -->
01:13:23.582Yeah and it was stacked too.
01:13:24.043 -->
01:13:24.364Yeah.
01:13:27.173 -->
01:13:31.623Yeah, shout out to those guys, Bronny, we're going to see what you're going to do, yeah.
01:13:32.716 -->
01:13:34.122He did make the playoffs his first year.
01:13:34.122 -->
01:13:37.600Yeah, yeah, yeah, they beat the Hornets and then lost to the Pacers.
01:13:37.860 -->
01:13:46.524Yeah, we're going to see what y'all are going to do, and I'm not a determinant if me or DeLaw gets 2K Pretty much yeah.
01:13:46.524 -->
01:13:52.942But on that note, thank everybody for tuning in and see you next time.
