We're gonna get right to it today.
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.039
We're here for a good time, not a long time.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:16.559
Just vibe, we're warming this thing up.
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.920
I don't even know where I'm going with this shit, but I can do this all day.
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.000
Turn this shit up to ignore volumes.
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:44.719
Come along with me, man.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.840
Hustle's only anthem.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.799
One time day.
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:56.079

Your baba wasn't shit.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.960
I guess that's the part to inherit it.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:01.600
From the garden.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.000
Might learn something today, might get motivated today.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.560
We had a great 2026 so far, still more to come.
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.519

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.239

I'm saying we're tapping it.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.640
If my face got an evil grin, nine, not enough.
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:33.280
Don't deserve it.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.400

00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.480

00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.120

00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.680
Not me and my daughters could fill a wall of two deep topics.
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.120
Get them joints loose, break that sweat.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.439
If you listening to me during your pre workout warm-up, never let my wheel go get extra loose today.

Man, fuck that shit the way you go.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:42.639

Like it's on my place.
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.639
Watching off our champagne, A night.
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:22.400
Count it up.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:23.439

We doing it big, let's do it.
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:52.879

We gon' keep this thing going.
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:04.319
Hustle's only, chicken cold outside.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.120
Something to get you through that fall, something to get you through that winter.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.639
It's prime time, y'all.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.920
I walk in the room, niggas can feel that pressure when I walk in.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.839
Feel that pressure when I walk in.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.720
You know the deal.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.600
Big dog coming.
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.959
You saw the devil.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:21.519
Yo.
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.519
Uh I was born in 84, but I'm like 97 hoes.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.279
I went platinum off a brick, I cooked them.
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.560
97 stoves.
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.519
Yeah, I know the streets is watching, so I'm highly skeptical.
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.439
Where I'm at in my career when hitting the city.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.879
I'll be set to go, word for word.
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.560
Ass straight for a pack.
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.360
Had dreams of retiring and burying the money.
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.240
Back when I was young, with more experience than money.
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.600
On my Georgetown shit, rock the blue hoyer.
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.560
When they snatch my niggas up, I got a new lawyer.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.800
They start off young, so they shoot for you.
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.959
I'll grow them soon, they become their own boy.
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.000
Stay with me right about now.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.040
You should be breaking that sweat.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.319
Right about now, you should be getting yourself right to go drop forty, drop fifty, Luca style.
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.319
And they is back, baby.
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:06.800
We rockin'.
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.240
My bitch asking me to settle down.
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.079
I was reckless selling browns.
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.920
She knows I'm finally on level ground.
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.839
I'm trying to change, but in my head it sounds telling me I could be El Chapo instead of Kevin Lyles.
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.879
Freestyle for blue.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.399
I feel like ninety seven hole.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.360
It was ninety-six.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.439
He pulled up in that ninety-seven roll.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.319
Trove it back and forth, and went through ninety-seven toll.
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.360
Real stories about drug money got me etched to stone.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.679
By time they learned Lady Hustler, stay with us.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.080
First double up, thirty dollars, seven stones.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.279
See, I fucked it up, but that whole place set the tone.
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.440
Listen, it did, it did, it did.
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:48.799
We gon' keep this thing rollin'.
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.320
We got one more for y'all.
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.639
We talking big, hustler energy today.
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.639
We talking big, go out there and get it.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.080
Make something from nothing, you know the deal.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:00.480
I can do this all day.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.039
Yeah, I know.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.360
Anonymous.
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.080
How many Madonna can that monster fit?
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.000
My brick talk is more than obvious.
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:12.879
It's ominous.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.159
Garages, the phantom, ghouls, ghosts, and goblins.
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.279
Dennis Rodman, one time push talk to these biggest.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.759
Money balances, all this drugs and violence.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.840
Hat trick under my mattress.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.799
You know we're going to the whole verse.
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.919
One time for the Super Bowl.
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.799
Y'all know what time it is.
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.480
We're going to the whole verse.
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.519
Stay with me a little bit longer.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.240
Get your stuff ready.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.039
Master this America's nightmares and flint.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.320
Children never less a guard when your melanin's got a tent.
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.120
And I can't even mention what I sent or what I spent.
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:47.679
One time.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.120
Catch that vibe here.
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.679
Life's a bitch.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.639
Take your pick.
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:57.759
Paid it full.
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.919
Like eighty-six G's on my body.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.399
The new Gucci has less monogram.
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.360
God's got him.
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.000
Let he without sin cast the first stone.
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.200
So I built that old glass quad level first tone.
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.120
Shatter all of your misconceptions.
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:12.399
Hold all of the missing weapons.
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.240
They give you that chill in your bones, man.
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.720
We talking to the badgeters today.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.159
We talking about the generators today.
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.399
We talking to the creators today.
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.320
We talk to the niggas who know how to get up off their ass and get going.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.200
Let's do it.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.080
Federico Fellini in the flesh.
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.440
Bitch, I've been brackin' since the eighties.
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.120
Google me, baby, you crazy.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.159
89 in London pulling bins, uh.
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.440
Type it in, Google's your friend, bruh.
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.720
Fourteen year drug dealer and still countin'.
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.639
Who deserves the medal of freedom?
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.759
It's my accountant.
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.200
He's been hula hoopin' through loopholes, working round shit.
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.399
IRS should have had the townhouse surrounding.
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.759
Thanks to the lawyers.
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.279
Ah Marble Defoyer.
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.639
Ah, tore the floor.
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.360
What's that for?
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.480
That's for the coy fish.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:06.799
We been.
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.159
We've been dining on oysters.
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.120
I told him put a royce up.
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.720
I'm getting ghosts.
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.919
I'm hearing noises.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.039
I think it's the boys, but I've been thinking the ghost.
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.559
We got star fronts, we got employee spells.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.200
We've been opening.
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.399
Little bit longer, y'all.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:24.960
A little bit longer.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.919
That countdown is on.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.639
Let's get ready for that main event.
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.559
Body should be warm by now.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.080
Mine should be ready by now.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.960
Bling bling.
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.080
Every time I come around your city, bling bling.
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.919
My tenure took me through Virginia.
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.519
Axe Teddy rally by me.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.200
Axe the Federalys by me.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.639
Try to build a cell around me.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.320
Snatch my nigga Emery up.
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:47.840
Try to get him to tell about me.
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.200
He told twelve, give me twelve.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.840
He told him to go.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:57.039
Our car's been autonomous.
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.799
Little longer, stay here, stay right here.
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.159
Nothing real can be threatened.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.519
Nothing unreal exists.
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.600
Fearing lies the peace of God.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.480
I always knew I was a prophet, but I couldn't find a decent job.
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.279
Life made me ambidexterous.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.799
Counting with my right, whipping white with my left wrist.
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.120
Damn, Daniel.
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.240
FBI keep bringing them all white vans.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.159
Listen, man.
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.919
Y'all know what time it is, just in case you ain't up just yet.
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.080
Thank you for coming to warm up with your boys.
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.000
So as always, uh, as we are here, back for another audio occasion.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.519
It is a podcast with self-starters and those willing to make the most out of any situation.
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.600
The EFS podcast is back.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.159
You know we got audio on the way in.
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.320
So you know the vibes, man.
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.200
Let's get into it.
00:12:58.559 --> 00:12:59.840
I don't feel pressure at all.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.200
I I've said in the past pressure for me is defined differently.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.960
So being able to see my dad.
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.039
Um guaranteed contracts in those nine years.
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:19.279
So you know, you never know when it could be your last day.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.600
You could be you just never know.
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.559
You can be traded.
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:29.039
And so for my dad being on an unguarantee contract, you just the constant worry of this is the last day, this is the last day.
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.960
And then um seeing him work out three times a day in the summertime.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:42.480
Just like me as a kid seeing that as a kid, I didn't really understand it until it was my time and actually started putting more work into my game and all those memories get funny.
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.320
It made sense.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.200
It wasn't like it wasn't almost that you worked for this one before.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:06.960
So when it comes to pressure, like we just leave it like that, man.
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.720
Let that think in on the way in.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.759
So as always, as we get this thing rolling, you know the deal, man.
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.440
Let my theme music run.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.080
Once I get it up, that is.
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.519
Let my theme music run, man.
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.240
As you know, we got a couple air horns on the way in.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.120
Appreciate y'all coming to tap in, coming to check in, man.
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.679
I see the numbers is is is dwindling up slowly, and I'm very appreciative, man.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:40.240
So as always, as you were here, with your man, the myth, the legend from the biggest brand you don't know about yet.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.919
The EFS brand himself, Mr.
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.799
D Berg, Mr.

Do all the things, hit all the bells, hit all the buttons, let yourself know when EFS is dropping on a weekly basis.
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.399
We got episode number 93 of the EFS podcast on the way.
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.720
Headed towards this 100 things slowly, man.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.159
I got goals when I get to 100.
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.360
We'll just keep it honest.
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.919
You know, I'm I'm trying to stay consistent enough to get to the 100 episode point, and ever we start to see what things can look like.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:12.240
But you know, as we tap in, man, as I said, appreciate y'all coming to check in with me.
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.720
We're here for a good time, not a long time today.
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.799
Uh, so we're gonna make the most of the time we got and get right into our topics.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.000
Uh hold on, let me get the theme music off of what we just do.
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.559
There it is.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.919
So, as I said, man, as we tap in, we get to a couple things.
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:43.120
On the way in, biggest thing I want to shout out is a big round of applause for another man, another myth, another legend, the man H O V A Hova.
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.120
For the announcement.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:55.840
I know it's been rumored since last week and all that, but you know, we got the official announcement as of last night for the Monday night football game um with the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Cowboys.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.360
I mean, that's ops on ops, so you know, somebody had to take an L.
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.120
Uh, Eagles took their L.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:11.440
Cowboys got it done, but they also announced that Jay-Z was gonna be doing the Super Bowl show, uh, halftime show that is, and I know it's been uh rumored for uh, I guess about a week or so at this point.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.919
Um, but the official announcement is out, you know.
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:22.879
The goat, the man himself sitting there with some goats in his hand and goats around him was a is a cool little visual, and you know they they do the cool visuals as far as that goes uh every year.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.320
Um, with last year being Bad Bunny, the year before that being Kendrick.
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:29.279
Um and uh yeah, man, how y'all feel about it?
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.440
You know, uh I I am a Jay-Z, I would say, fan.
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.480
I don't want to consider myself myself a stand of anybody.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.399
Uh but Jay is that guy for me, man.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.320
I'm from the towns, I'm from Brooklyn, New York.
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:46.639
So for me, seeing Jay as a young kid, as an artist, you know, that that was the early stages of my fandom.
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.600
Uh so much that people used to think I looked like Jay back then.
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.120
Whatever it is, what it is.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:58.559
But at this point, man, Jay has done a lot uh for culture, a lot in music, uh a lot in, you know, the business world as well.
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:04.000
And now he's you know putting another another point on the board for his resume with now doing a Super Bowl show.
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:13.759
Um I know a lot of people have had some things to say not so positively about it, and he's been taking a little bit of flack recently, uh especially after the weekend at the LA shows.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:23.839
Um, and I do I want to say I can't understand some people's gripes with Jay um as far as how he moves and how he is in, you know, just life and business.
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:54.640
Uh but you know, at at some point we do just gotta give up respect and love and praise to someone who has again done so many things in the music industry and in business, and so many things uh I would say for you know the people that look like us um in the you know the black community with some of the initiatives that he's gone out there and you know been the at the the um at the forefront of, you know, and just you know really spearheaded and just put you know himself out there to to make a stand for certain things.
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.480
Um and I know we have this back and forth with him always because he does shit sometimes.
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:06.960
It's like yo, bro, why are you doing that if you're you know of and about the black community, but he's also done, you know, documented things uh for the black community.
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.480
Uh so I do, you know, want to give him enough grace to just appreciate the moment that he's gonna have.
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.960
Um and uh well deserved, man.
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:24.079
I know he's on the board for the the you know the who chooses to have the halftime show every single year at this point now with his partnership with the NFL, which he caught flag four years ago.
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:32.880
If you're in that position, hell yeah, I'm pulling myself up there one time, especially if I'm an artist who's of that caliber uh and has that history, that track record, then why the fuck not?
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.079
I gave everybody else a shot.
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.319
I got my people up there, I got the reasons up there, I got the Kendrick's up there, I gave y'all bad money.
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.200
Now it's my turn.
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.400
Like it's my turn to get out there and rock the Super Bowl shows.
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.680
I would say I am looking forward to it.
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.119
Um I'm also gonna say that I know it's gonna be a show.
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:50.000
Well, we'll see.
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.720
We'll see.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:59.119
Uh I think the last two Super Bowl shows have been a lot more on the political side as far as the uh the visuals and the imagery that's gone into the production of the show.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:06.000
Um so I want to see what Jay does with this opportunity, you know, and I know he's had a lot of, you know, people kicking his back in lately.
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:19.440
So I do think that him having this moment to do something with, uh, whether it be drop an album before, we'd love another whole album, or whether it just be a dope performance, I do think it's an opportunity for him to do something big with it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does, you know.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:33.359
I'm not gonna say the songs he's gonna perform are probably gonna be my favorite Jay song just because, you know, we know who the show has to kind of cater to uh for it to be something that's successful or something that's palatable uh for the you know the the viewership of the Super Bowl.
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.279
But either way, I think it'll be dope.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:43.920
Shouts to Jay on that one, just a quick tidbit, you know, not gonna spend too long there, because moving forward, we gotta get to the NBA being backing in business.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:54.720
As a basketball guy, you know, it's a it's it's a big time of year for me, and I'm happy to see the NBA back in full swing, as much as I have a love-hate relationship for the NBA.
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.400
Uh, I do think it's good to see, you know, just hoops and even college hoops too.
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.400
You know, the boys Marquette back out there playing the college landscape, the NBA landscape.
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.680
It's just hoop season.
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.519
Um so always some a time here that I look forward to, you know, from being with someone who's played the game himself uh to now being a spectator of the game.
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.640
Uh I do think that we are in an exciting time.
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:24.559
Um not so exciting time if you are a New York Knicks fan, uh, just because the Knicks have taken ass whooping on ass whooping on ass whooping to start the season.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:33.759
Um and it is not exactly what we expected uh as New York Knicks fans, but as New York Knicks fans, we should be used to being fucking disappointed by the New York Knicks at this point.
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:49.200
If we've learned nothing in whatever length of life you've had as a Knicks fan, you have to understand that they're going to disappoint you and do not let that 53-year drought to now get a championship to that's then us being back on top make anything else change.
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.200
Like we was just mad at the Knicks last season before they won the championship.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.880
Like you're gonna be mad at the Knicks at some point, and right now we're just mad at the Knicks as they started off looking like dog shit.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:10.079
Like, I don't understand what's going on with the Knicks, but I can maybe, you know, think about some things that may be getting in trouble or getting them in trouble, I would say, as far as how they play.
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:22.559
But I don't think it's any kind of surprise that they are 0 and 3 to start the season with, you know, tonight's game, you know, as of release of this podcast, it'll be last night's game against the Detroit Pistons, uh as another chance for them to take an L.
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.279
Because we know how the Pistons have been dog shitting like the Knicks throughout the regular season.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.200
And was a w matchup they was we was a little worried about last season headed into the playoffs.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:44.000
If he wasn't worried about that matchup as a Knicks fan, if it was a potential matchup after they, you know, lost to Cleveland, obviously we went on to play Cleveland, but if we would have played the Pistons last season, that might have been the end of our playoff run because we never look good against them.
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.599
Um and we'll see how it goes now.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.680
The Pistons are out there, they're looking competitive still, so it could end up on four.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:59.680
And if it does end up on four, it just leans on a lot of the numbers that we've been seeing for the Knicks, and the Knicks are like dead last in two of the most important stats.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.519
Uh, in order for you to win games as an NBA team.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.279
But we are 30th of 30 teams in the NBA in scoring.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.799
The Knicks are dead last in the league, averaging a mere 101.7 points per game.
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.079
Another stat, 30th in offensive efficiency.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:21.200
Their rating sits at a dismal one, well 100.2.
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:29.359
Uh now, on top of that, bottom tier shooting, we are now shooting 40.9% as a ball club, which is now 29th in the NBA.
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.599
So Knicks are playing like shit.
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:38.559
Like they're playing like shit, you know, and it just goes to show that we need to get it the fuck together in order for us to turn this thing around.
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:46.079
And I do think it's a little bit challenging uh to start the season as a championship team anyway, because they're gonna get everybody's best shot.
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:54.319
It does not help when you're not playing your best basketball to start the season, and you really don't have that much time to, you know, get it in gear.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.440
You're in the mix of it now.
00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.960
We already know the East Coast is gonna be a gauntlet, and we ain't starting off that gauntlet too well.
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:06.400
Um, I do think we can lean on some players who need to step their shit up, Mikhail Bridges being one of them.
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.400
Uh, I'm a guy who it was documented last year, my thoughts on Mikhail Bridges.
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.799
I do not understand how much money this guy makes for the production that he puts out.
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.519
Um, and he just disappears in a lot of games.
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:25.039
You know, we won, cool, all that is great, you know, but it doesn't change the issues that we had last season uh at certain points.
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:32.640
And Mikel has proven that he can play in big moments, but I don't think his consistency as a player uh is something we can count on.
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:40.640
And one of the worst things you could be as a sports person, as a person who's an athlete on a team, like one of the worst things you could be is inconsistent.
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:53.519
Because if you don't know what to your, well, if your teammates, I would say, your organization doesn't know what they're gonna get from when you're on a night-to-night basis, then from there you're not really a reliable source to factor into whatever they're doing, you know.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:58.880
And I had that realization a long, long time ago in college, and I was on the same shit, you know.
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:12.079
And one of my coaches, Tom Crean, salutes love, you know, he told me early on in my college career, like, you can be this good, but you're not living up to it consistently, you know, and then that makes me not feel like I can count on you.
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.279
And that goes for all sports across, especially team sports.
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.359
Like, bro, you gotta step your shit the fuck up.
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.720
Like, it is just is what it is.
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.359
Like the person who was playing in the Brooklyn uniform before we brought your ass over here for all those picks.
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.039
I know it was years ago at this point, but when we have moments like this, somebody has to get the spotlight.
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.039
And for now, I think it's Mikhail Bridges.
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:32.880
Jalen Brunson, you gotta step your shit up too.
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.160
He's shooting like under 40%.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.640
Um, he's averaging, I think, the most points per game or top points per game in the league.
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.160
But again, he's not shooting well.
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.839
So gotta step your shit up.
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.680
And again, I know we're getting everybody's best shot, but nobody gives a fuck, bro.
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.640
Like nobody cares.
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:52.880
And as Knicks fans, we got to turn this shit around, and or we're gonna be looking at freaking playing by the end of the season.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:03.839
And we don't want to be one of them teams who now is the third team recently with the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks of 2011 coming back from winning the championship to starting off the season 0-3.
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.960
Those stats are cool.
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:11.359
I hear all that shit, but you know, we don't want to carry that shit on headed towards, you know, the end of the year, headed towards the all-star break.
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.559
Like, we gotta pick this shit the fuck up and get it going like yesterday.
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.200
And that's just my message to the Knicks as a Knicks fan.
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.680
I'm not burning down the house just yet, but I do think that we gotta get some shit together.
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.039
And that's just how it is.
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.599
Put out a better product on the floor next, please.
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.880
Please do so.
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.960
That aside, a lot of other great things in the NBA going on.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.200
You know, Luca just dropped the 50 ball last night.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:33.920
Great to see that.
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:42.240
You know, I know him and the him and homeboy from um Yaxel from Golden State Warriors had their little back and forth to open up the season.
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.119
It's just exciting.
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.119
You know, it's good to see like beef in the NBA.
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.440
I know Jalen Brown and Um Jason Tatum got their little shit going on.
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.640
Makes for great storylines.
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:55.599
And it's glad to see people like either not really like each other or not really embracing each other like that.
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.279
Uh, and just see how they back it up when they play each other because that's what it's really all about.
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:00.960
Like how that shit goes down on the court.
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:02.640
Shouts to Kyrie, too.
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.359
Um, seeing him playing well from coming back from his injury.
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:09.039
Big fan, as always, you know, love just his game in general.
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:19.440
I love how he goes out there and plays um and beating the shit out of the Miami Heat, who I just knew that roster really wasn't gonna be that good to begin with, and definitely ain't looking like it right now.
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.680
Um, but who am I to you know judge anyone?
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.480
We at the bottom of the league as a as a Knicks fan.
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.480
But either way, hoops is back, man.
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.039
Enjoy it.
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.839
See how the rest of the season goes as we progress forward.
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:50.079
But moving forward from there, uh, one thing I wanted to kind of really dive in on today before I get out of here is uh just uh a lot of the thought process that people as either business owners, uh creators, uh anyone who's like uh, you know, go against the grain, not a nine to five, take a check kind of person.
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:58.319
Um, and just the the mindset that goes into that, uh the mindset that could go into some people of that, you know, of that cloth like we're talking about.
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.160
Um I've been seeing a lot of it lately.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:07.920
Um it always kind of pops up and comes back and you know, it goes up and down, or you see a post every few months from it or something like that.
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:23.359
But I feel like I've seen a lot more recently, just about you know, the the support that you get from your friends as a you know business owner or someone who you know needs either some kind of attention or you know, financial support in order to make your mission grow.
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:35.519
Um, and uh I I do understand it because it is kind of frustrating to see the people who are closest to you not always fully support uh what your dreams and ambitions are or you know, whatever you're looking to do.
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:45.920
Um, but I do think that we lean too much into that shit just because it's a cool way to call out our friends for not, you know, being there for you in that way.
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:56.559
Um, and again, everybody can feel how they feel, but I do think when you lean on that mentality, it's kind of like you're missing the bigger picture when it comes to whatever the hell you want to do.
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.880
Like you are not entitled to anyone's support from you know your close circle, uh, even if it's nice to have.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.000
And I pretty much said this on this podcast way, way back, you know, one of my one of my earlier episodes.
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.559
But uh the support you get from people is not something that you are entitled to.
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:20.720
Um, and it's just has to, it has to be your mindset, just because you're not gonna get the support from the people that you're thinking is gonna come from, regardless.
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:22.240
And if it does, then great.
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.359
You take that to the bank.
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.000
Those are the people you love, those are the people you appreciate.
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:31.279
Uh, but sometimes the things you are doing are not gonna connect with the people that are closest to you.
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.839
Um and it's not their job to understand it, you know.
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:39.680
Like in my position, in my you know, life, my lane right now, I run a podcast.
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:45.680
You know, I'm the one who comes in here, records every week, I'm the one who edits the shit every week, I'm the one who puts it out every week.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.799
I've done the steps to be a fully functioning content machine on my own.
00:28:50.880 --> 00:29:00.640
And that's maybe to pat myself on the back a little bit, but also for me to understand that when I even dial dove into this thing full force, like some people ain't gonna understand that shit.
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.160
Like, I got close homies and friends who don't fuck with podcasts.
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:14.160
You know, I got people who, you know, are in my life as a person who owns a gym and runs a business there who I've been, yo, suggesting and yo, you should come on by.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.119
Let's get you into your fitness regimen, let's do the da da da da da, whatever.
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:32.000
They ain't shown up, or they shown up once and you know, they never came back, or like, you know, the people that are closest to you aren't always gonna understand what your vision is or aren't always gonna connect with your vision because it might not be something that is it resonates with them.
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:35.680
And that has to be okay, you know, that has to be okay too.
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.359
Is it great to get the support from them?
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:50.720
Yes, but it has to also be okay when they don't support you because you should always be looking past your friends and not crying for support from them just because they don't understand the path that you're trying to walk and you know what could get you there.
00:29:50.799 --> 00:30:05.680
Like some people, when it comes to the whole social media thing, because this is what you mostly see, you know, someone who you know don't share your posts, someone who you know don't engage with your posts, someone who you know like all those things, like yeah, some people don't also understand that that engagement helps you grow further.
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:14.640
Like some people don't really understand the machine and the algorithm and all that stuff, and how them boosting your posts is gonna make it go a little bit further to maybe other people.
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:30.000
But knowing that and embracing it is also something that's different, you know, because when you embrace it and understand that when it comes to your visions, your beliefs, your your goals, you are alone in that and you're the one who has to go out there and make it happen.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:36.319
That's when you really understand that it's just time for me to work and grind and make this shit happen out the mud, you know?
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:47.599
And your friends are always gonna be the ones that are looking, your friends are always gonna be the ones that are watching, potentially, because I got friends sometimes who I'll post shit and they never even seen it because their algorithm leaned a whole nother way, you know.
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:58.960
So if they are the ones that are watching and they're not supporting, just know that they're watching and sometimes it's out of hate, and those friends will expose themselves over time, just make right decisions and then move those people out of your life.
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:16.960
But sometimes your all friends also want to see you put the work in to get to your own goal without having to lean on them because they might also understand that, yo, I might not really fuck with this podcast shit, but I know my man got a podcast, and as soon as that shit blows, because I know he's gonna put the work in to get it there, I'm gonna, you know, give him that salute, give him that congratulations.
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:18.319
Like I understand it.
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:30.079
It is frustrating, it is like lonely sometimes to be someone who's a creative, who has visions, who has goals and things they want to work towards, and it feels like nobody's supporting you, and my reach isn't what it wants to be, what I want it to be.
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.640
You know, I'm not getting that the attention that I want, the eyes on me, like that kind of stuff.
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:36.640
I get it, it's a real frustration.
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:43.759
But when you start looking at the ones who are closest to you, how many people are you gonna like count before you actually run out?
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:54.079
And then when you run out of people that you can count that you will want to support you, actually how many dollars that was gonna bring into your business in the first place, or you know, how much attention it was gonna bring to for the say the content creators and all that stuff.
00:31:54.240 --> 00:32:03.759
Like once you take out those few people with me and maybe like a good five to ten who I really, really care about if they would, you know, want to like or engage with my stuff.
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.160
But you know, outside of that, I need more people.
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:14.079
You got to reach past them, you know, and sometimes it's getting creative, finding the ways to be a better content creator just so your shit grows even more.
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:26.559
You know, sometimes it's getting creative with your marketing as a business owner and figuring out ways to bring people who are not your close circle into your business because those aren't gonna be the ones that spend the most money with you just because they're not meant to, you know.
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:36.240
And I do get it, but we gotta really just check in with ourselves and understand that you gotta stay on the mission because the mission has to be completed regardless.
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.759
Like it just has to be.
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:44.799
So whoever's supporting you that you are around, that really, really, you know, they they fuck with you, they rock with you, keep them people close, man.
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.599
Appreciate it.
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:55.680
But the ones that are not, then again, they either fall in two categories the ones that you know might be a hater, and the ones that you know just might not connect with it, but they do want the best for you in your life, you know?
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.279
And that is what it is.
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.440
So with that said, we here for a good time, not a long time today.
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.480
Gotta get back out here.
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:15.359
I really got a bunch of shit that's going on right now uh that I gotta get to, you know, without dragging this thing out too long uh and making it uh un unpleasurable views uh listening experience.
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:18.640
So uh with that said, man, we out of here as always.
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.240
Stay safe in this crazy world.
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.279
Guard yourself mentally, physically, spiritually, and all things in between.
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:29.119
And as we tap out for episode number 93, we'll catch you on the next go round.
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.599
EFS Podcast is out of peace.
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:09.439
Check in on the way in.
00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:10.880
We're gonna get right to it today.
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.039
We're here for a good time, not a long time.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:16.559
Just vibe, we're warming this thing up.
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.920
I don't even know where I'm going with this shit, but I can do this all day.
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.000
Turn this shit up to ignore volumes.
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:44.719
Come along with me, man.
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.840
Hustle's only anthem.
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:50.799
One time day.
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:56.079
I'm going over your head.
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:57.840
Stay with me, stay with me, stay right here.
00:00:58.240 --> 00:00:59.200
Your baba wasn't shit.
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:00.960
I guess that's the part to inherit it.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:01.600
From the garden.
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.000
Might learn something today, might get motivated today.
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.560
We had a great 2026 so far, still more to come.
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:15.519
Still more to run up, still more to get to.
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:16.239
Let's vibe.
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:17.599
I'm saying we're tapping it.
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.640
If my face got an evil grin, nine, not enough.
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:33.280
Don't deserve it.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:34.400
You not an even tenth.
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.480
I saw my weed of friends, Mercedes dreamin'.
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.120
I need a beat.
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.680
Not me and my daughters could fill a wall of two deep topics.
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.120
Get them joints loose, break that sweat.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:47.439
If you listening to me during your pre workout warm-up, never let my wheel go get extra loose today.
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:55.599
Now I can hear the plays, the next running.
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.200
You see these seats, I'm in.
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.479
Like I said, man, I could do this all day.
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:10.159
Millennial music wire.
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.719
Vibe with me.
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:16.800
I can do this all day.
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.120
Killin' that wife.
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:32.400
Rin't four.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:37.919

Hustle's only, chicken cold outside.
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.120
Something to get you through that fall, something to get you through that winter.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:08.639
It's prime time, y'all.
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.920
I walk in the room, niggas can feel that pressure when I walk in.
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.839
Feel that pressure when I walk in.
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:18.720
You know the deal.
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.600
Big dog coming.
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:20.959

Uh I was born in 84, but I'm like 97 hoes.

I went platinum off a brick, I cooked them.
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:28.560
97 stoves.
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.519
Yeah, I know the streets is watching, so I'm highly skeptical.
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:33.439
Where I'm at in my career when hitting the city.
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:34.879
I'll be set to go, word for word.
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.560
Ass straight for a pack.
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.360
Had dreams of retiring and burying the money.
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.240
Back when I was young, with more experience than money.
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.600
On my Georgetown shit, rock the blue hoyer.
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:52.560
When they snatch my niggas up, I got a new lawyer.
00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:54.800
They start off young, so they shoot for you.
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.959
I'll grow them soon, they become their own boy.
00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:58.000
Stay with me right about now.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:59.040
You should be breaking that sweat.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.319

00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.240
My bitch asking me to settle down.
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.079
I was reckless selling browns.
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:15.920
She knows I'm finally on level ground.
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.839
I'm trying to change, but in my head it sounds telling me I could be El Chapo instead of Kevin Lyles.
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:22.879
Freestyle for blue.
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.399
I feel like ninety seven hole.
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.360
It was ninety-six.
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.439
He pulled up in that ninety-seven roll.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.319
Trove it back and forth, and went through ninety-seven toll.
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.360
Real stories about drug money got me etched to stone.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.679
By time they learned Lady Hustler, stay with us.
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.080
First double up, thirty dollars, seven stones.
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.279
See, I fucked it up, but that whole place set the tone.
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.440
Listen, it did, it did, it did.
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:48.799
We gon' keep this thing rollin'.
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.320

00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.639
We talking big, go out there and get it.
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.080
Make something from nothing, you know the deal.
00:08:59.279 --> 00:09:00.480
I can do this all day.
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.039
Yeah, I know.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:07.360
Anonymous.
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.080
How many Madonna can that monster fit?
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.000
My brick talk is more than obvious.
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:12.879
It's ominous.
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.159
Garages, the phantom, ghouls, ghosts, and goblins.
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.279
Dennis Rodman, one time push talk to these biggest.
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.759
Money balances, all this drugs and violence.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.840
Hat trick under my mattress.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:32.799
You know we're going to the whole verse.
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.919
One time for the Super Bowl.
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.799
Y'all know what time it is.
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.480
We're going to the whole verse.
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.519
Stay with me a little bit longer.
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.240
Get your stuff ready.
00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:41.039
Master this America's nightmares and flint.
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.320
Children never less a guard when your melanin's got a tent.
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.120
And I can't even mention what I sent or what I spent.
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:47.679
One time.
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.120
Catch that vibe here.
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:53.679
Life's a bitch.
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.639
Take your pick.
00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:57.759
Paid it full.
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.919
Like eighty-six G's on my body.
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:02.399
The new Gucci has less monogram.
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:03.360
God's got him.
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.000
Let he without sin cast the first stone.
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.200
So I built that old glass quad level first tone.
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.120
Shatter all of your misconceptions.
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:12.399
Hold all of the missing weapons.
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.240
They give you that chill in your bones, man.
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.720
We talking to the badgeters today.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.159
We talking about the generators today.
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:24.399
We talking to the creators today.
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:28.320
We talk to the niggas who know how to get up off their ass and get going.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.200
Let's do it.
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.080
Federico Fellini in the flesh.
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.440
Bitch, I've been brackin' since the eighties.
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.120
Google me, baby, you crazy.
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:44.159
89 in London pulling bins, uh.
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:47.440
Type it in, Google's your friend, bruh.
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.720
Fourteen year drug dealer and still countin'.
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:52.639
Who deserves the medal of freedom?
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:53.759
It's my accountant.
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.200
He's been hula hoopin' through loopholes, working round shit.
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.399
IRS should have had the townhouse surrounding.
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.759
Thanks to the lawyers.
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:03.279
Ah Marble Defoyer.
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.639
Ah, tore the floor.
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:05.360
What's that for?
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.480
That's for the coy fish.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:06.799
We been.
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.159
We've been dining on oysters.
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.120
I told him put a royce up.
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.720
I'm getting ghosts.
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.919
I'm hearing noises.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.039
I think it's the boys, but I've been thinking the ghost.
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.559
We got star fronts, we got employee spells.
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:23.200
We've been opening.
00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:24.399
Little bit longer, y'all.
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:24.960
A little bit longer.
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.919
That countdown is on.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.639
Let's get ready for that main event.
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.559
Body should be warm by now.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.080
Mine should be ready by now.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:34.960
Bling bling.
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.080
Every time I come around your city, bling bling.
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.919
My tenure took me through Virginia.
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.519
Axe Teddy rally by me.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.200
Axe the Federalys by me.
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.639
Try to build a cell around me.
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.320
Snatch my nigga Emery up.
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:47.840
Try to get him to tell about me.
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:49.200
He told twelve, give me twelve.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.840
He told him to go.
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:57.039
Our car's been autonomous.
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.799
Little longer, stay here, stay right here.
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.159
Nothing real can be threatened.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.519
Nothing unreal exists.
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.600
Fearing lies the peace of God.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:16.480
I always knew I was a prophet, but I couldn't find a decent job.
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.279
Life made me ambidexterous.
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:22.799
Counting with my right, whipping white with my left wrist.
00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:25.120
Damn, Daniel.
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:28.240
FBI keep bringing them all white vans.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.159
Listen, man.
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:35.919
Y'all know what time it is, just in case you ain't up just yet.
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.080
Thank you for coming to warm up with your boys.
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.000
So as always, uh, as we are here, back for another audio occasion.
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.519
It is a podcast with self-starters and those willing to make the most out of any situation.
00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:47.600
The EFS podcast is back.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.159
You know we got audio on the way in.
00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:54.320
So you know the vibes, man.
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:55.200
Let's get into it.
00:12:58.559 --> 00:12:59.840
I don't feel pressure at all.
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.200
I I've said in the past pressure for me is defined differently.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.960
So being able to see my dad.
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:15.039
Um guaranteed contracts in those nine years.
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:19.279
So you know, you never know when it could be your last day.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.600
You could be you just never know.
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:22.559
You can be traded.
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:29.039
And so for my dad being on an unguarantee contract, you just the constant worry of this is the last day, this is the last day.
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:32.960
And then um seeing him work out three times a day in the summertime.
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:42.480
Just like me as a kid seeing that as a kid, I didn't really understand it until it was my time and actually started putting more work into my game and all those memories get funny.
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:44.320
It made sense.
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:53.200
It wasn't like it wasn't almost that you worked for this one before.
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:06.960
So when it comes to pressure, like we just leave it like that, man.
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.720
Let that think in on the way in.
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.759
So as always, as we get this thing rolling, you know the deal, man.
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.440
Let my theme music run.
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.080
Once I get it up, that is.
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.519
Let my theme music run, man.
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.240
As you know, we got a couple air horns on the way in.
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:29.120
Appreciate y'all coming to tap in, coming to check in, man.
00:14:29.200 --> 00:14:33.679
I see the numbers is is is dwindling up slowly, and I'm very appreciative, man.
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:40.240
So as always, as you were here, with your man, the myth, the legend from the biggest brand you don't know about yet.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:41.919
The EFS brand himself, Mr.
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:42.799
D Berg, Mr.
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.039
1%, two times uh thanks for checking in.
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.360
Do not forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe.
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.559
Do all the things, hit all the bells, hit all the buttons, let yourself know when EFS is dropping on a weekly basis.
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.399
We got episode number 93 of the EFS podcast on the way.
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.720
Headed towards this 100 things slowly, man.
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:00.159
I got goals when I get to 100.
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:01.360
We'll just keep it honest.
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:07.919
You know, I'm I'm trying to stay consistent enough to get to the 100 episode point, and ever we start to see what things can look like.
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:12.240
But you know, as we tap in, man, as I said, appreciate y'all coming to check in with me.
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:14.720
We're here for a good time, not a long time today.
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.799
Uh, so we're gonna make the most of the time we got and get right into our topics.
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.000
Uh hold on, let me get the theme music off of what we just do.
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:26.559
There it is.
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:31.919
So, as I said, man, as we tap in, we get to a couple things.
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:43.120
On the way in, biggest thing I want to shout out is a big round of applause for another man, another myth, another legend, the man H O V A Hova.
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:45.120
For the announcement.
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:55.840
I know it's been rumored since last week and all that, but you know, we got the official announcement as of last night for the Monday night football game um with the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Cowboys.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.360
I mean, that's ops on ops, so you know, somebody had to take an L.
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.120
Uh, Eagles took their L.
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:11.440
Cowboys got it done, but they also announced that Jay-Z was gonna be doing the Super Bowl show, uh, halftime show that is, and I know it's been uh rumored for uh, I guess about a week or so at this point.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:13.919
Um, but the official announcement is out, you know.
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:22.879
The goat, the man himself sitting there with some goats in his hand and goats around him was a is a cool little visual, and you know they they do the cool visuals as far as that goes uh every year.
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.320
Um, with last year being Bad Bunny, the year before that being Kendrick.
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:29.279
Um and uh yeah, man, how y'all feel about it?
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.440
You know, uh I I am a Jay-Z, I would say, fan.
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:36.480
I don't want to consider myself myself a stand of anybody.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:38.399
Uh but Jay is that guy for me, man.
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.320
I'm from the towns, I'm from Brooklyn, New York.
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:46.639
So for me, seeing Jay as a young kid, as an artist, you know, that that was the early stages of my fandom.
00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:49.600
Uh so much that people used to think I looked like Jay back then.
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:51.120
Whatever it is, what it is.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:58.559
But at this point, man, Jay has done a lot uh for culture, a lot in music, uh a lot in, you know, the business world as well.
00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:04.000
And now he's you know putting another another point on the board for his resume with now doing a Super Bowl show.
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:13.759
Um I know a lot of people have had some things to say not so positively about it, and he's been taking a little bit of flack recently, uh especially after the weekend at the LA shows.
00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:23.839
Um, and I do I want to say I can't understand some people's gripes with Jay um as far as how he moves and how he is in, you know, just life and business.
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:54.640
Uh but you know, at at some point we do just gotta give up respect and love and praise to someone who has again done so many things in the music industry and in business, and so many things uh I would say for you know the people that look like us um in the you know the black community with some of the initiatives that he's gone out there and you know been the at the the um at the forefront of, you know, and just you know really spearheaded and just put you know himself out there to to make a stand for certain things.
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.480
Um and I know we have this back and forth with him always because he does shit sometimes.
00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:06.960
It's like yo, bro, why are you doing that if you're you know of and about the black community, but he's also done, you know, documented things uh for the black community.
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.480
Uh so I do, you know, want to give him enough grace to just appreciate the moment that he's gonna have.
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.960
Um and uh well deserved, man.
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:24.079
I know he's on the board for the the you know the who chooses to have the halftime show every single year at this point now with his partnership with the NFL, which he caught flag four years ago.
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:32.880
If you're in that position, hell yeah, I'm pulling myself up there one time, especially if I'm an artist who's of that caliber uh and has that history, that track record, then why the fuck not?
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.079
I gave everybody else a shot.
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:38.319
I got my people up there, I got the reasons up there, I got the Kendrick's up there, I gave y'all bad money.
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:39.200
Now it's my turn.
00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:42.400
Like it's my turn to get out there and rock the Super Bowl shows.
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:45.680
I would say I am looking forward to it.
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.119
Um I'm also gonna say that I know it's gonna be a show.
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:50.000
Well, we'll see.
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:50.720
We'll see.
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:59.119
Uh I think the last two Super Bowl shows have been a lot more on the political side as far as the uh the visuals and the imagery that's gone into the production of the show.
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:06.000
Um so I want to see what Jay does with this opportunity, you know, and I know he's had a lot of, you know, people kicking his back in lately.
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:19.440
So I do think that him having this moment to do something with, uh, whether it be drop an album before, we'd love another whole album, or whether it just be a dope performance, I do think it's an opportunity for him to do something big with it, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does, you know.
00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:33.359
I'm not gonna say the songs he's gonna perform are probably gonna be my favorite Jay song just because, you know, we know who the show has to kind of cater to uh for it to be something that's successful or something that's palatable uh for the you know the the viewership of the Super Bowl.
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.279
But either way, I think it'll be dope.
00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:43.920
Shouts to Jay on that one, just a quick tidbit, you know, not gonna spend too long there, because moving forward, we gotta get to the NBA being backing in business.
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:54.720
As a basketball guy, you know, it's a it's it's a big time of year for me, and I'm happy to see the NBA back in full swing, as much as I have a love-hate relationship for the NBA.
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.400
Uh, I do think it's good to see, you know, just hoops and even college hoops too.
00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:02.400
You know, the boys Marquette back out there playing the college landscape, the NBA landscape.
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:03.680
It's just hoop season.
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.519
Um so always some a time here that I look forward to, you know, from being with someone who's played the game himself uh to now being a spectator of the game.
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:14.640
Uh I do think that we are in an exciting time.
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:24.559
Um not so exciting time if you are a New York Knicks fan, uh, just because the Knicks have taken ass whooping on ass whooping on ass whooping to start the season.
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:33.759
Um and it is not exactly what we expected uh as New York Knicks fans, but as New York Knicks fans, we should be used to being fucking disappointed by the New York Knicks at this point.
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:49.200
If we've learned nothing in whatever length of life you've had as a Knicks fan, you have to understand that they're going to disappoint you and do not let that 53-year drought to now get a championship to that's then us being back on top make anything else change.
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.200
Like we was just mad at the Knicks last season before they won the championship.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.880
Like you're gonna be mad at the Knicks at some point, and right now we're just mad at the Knicks as they started off looking like dog shit.
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:10.079
Like, I don't understand what's going on with the Knicks, but I can maybe, you know, think about some things that may be getting in trouble or getting them in trouble, I would say, as far as how they play.
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:22.559
But I don't think it's any kind of surprise that they are 0 and 3 to start the season with, you know, tonight's game, you know, as of release of this podcast, it'll be last night's game against the Detroit Pistons, uh as another chance for them to take an L.
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.279
Because we know how the Pistons have been dog shitting like the Knicks throughout the regular season.
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:31.200
And was a w matchup they was we was a little worried about last season headed into the playoffs.
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:44.000
If he wasn't worried about that matchup as a Knicks fan, if it was a potential matchup after they, you know, lost to Cleveland, obviously we went on to play Cleveland, but if we would have played the Pistons last season, that might have been the end of our playoff run because we never look good against them.
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.599
Um and we'll see how it goes now.
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:51.680
The Pistons are out there, they're looking competitive still, so it could end up on four.
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:59.680
And if it does end up on four, it just leans on a lot of the numbers that we've been seeing for the Knicks, and the Knicks are like dead last in two of the most important stats.
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.519
Uh, in order for you to win games as an NBA team.
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.279
But we are 30th of 30 teams in the NBA in scoring.
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.799
The Knicks are dead last in the league, averaging a mere 101.7 points per game.
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.079
Another stat, 30th in offensive efficiency.
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:21.200
Their rating sits at a dismal one, well 100.2.
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:29.359
Uh now, on top of that, bottom tier shooting, we are now shooting 40.9% as a ball club, which is now 29th in the NBA.
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.599
So Knicks are playing like shit.
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:38.559
Like they're playing like shit, you know, and it just goes to show that we need to get it the fuck together in order for us to turn this thing around.
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:46.079
And I do think it's a little bit challenging uh to start the season as a championship team anyway, because they're gonna get everybody's best shot.
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:54.319
It does not help when you're not playing your best basketball to start the season, and you really don't have that much time to, you know, get it in gear.
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.440
You're in the mix of it now.
00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.960
We already know the East Coast is gonna be a gauntlet, and we ain't starting off that gauntlet too well.
00:23:01.200 --> 00:23:06.400
Um, I do think we can lean on some players who need to step their shit up, Mikhail Bridges being one of them.
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:10.400
Uh, I'm a guy who it was documented last year, my thoughts on Mikhail Bridges.
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.799
I do not understand how much money this guy makes for the production that he puts out.
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.519
Um, and he just disappears in a lot of games.
00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:25.039
You know, we won, cool, all that is great, you know, but it doesn't change the issues that we had last season uh at certain points.
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:32.640
And Mikel has proven that he can play in big moments, but I don't think his consistency as a player uh is something we can count on.
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:40.640
And one of the worst things you could be as a sports person, as a person who's an athlete on a team, like one of the worst things you could be is inconsistent.
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:53.519
Because if you don't know what to your, well, if your teammates, I would say, your organization doesn't know what they're gonna get from when you're on a night-to-night basis, then from there you're not really a reliable source to factor into whatever they're doing, you know.
00:23:53.759 --> 00:23:58.880
And I had that realization a long, long time ago in college, and I was on the same shit, you know.
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:12.079
And one of my coaches, Tom Crean, salutes love, you know, he told me early on in my college career, like, you can be this good, but you're not living up to it consistently, you know, and then that makes me not feel like I can count on you.
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.279
And that goes for all sports across, especially team sports.
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.359
Like, bro, you gotta step your shit the fuck up.
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.720
Like, it is just is what it is.
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.359
Like the person who was playing in the Brooklyn uniform before we brought your ass over here for all those picks.
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:29.039
I know it was years ago at this point, but when we have moments like this, somebody has to get the spotlight.
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.039
And for now, I think it's Mikhail Bridges.
00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:32.880
Jalen Brunson, you gotta step your shit up too.
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.160
He's shooting like under 40%.
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:38.640
Um, he's averaging, I think, the most points per game or top points per game in the league.
00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:40.160
But again, he's not shooting well.
00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:41.839
So gotta step your shit up.
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.680
And again, I know we're getting everybody's best shot, but nobody gives a fuck, bro.
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.640
Like nobody cares.
00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:52.880
And as Knicks fans, we got to turn this shit around, and or we're gonna be looking at freaking playing by the end of the season.
00:24:52.960 --> 00:25:03.839
And we don't want to be one of them teams who now is the third team recently with the Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks of 2011 coming back from winning the championship to starting off the season 0-3.
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:04.960
Those stats are cool.
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:11.359
I hear all that shit, but you know, we don't want to carry that shit on headed towards, you know, the end of the year, headed towards the all-star break.
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.559
Like, we gotta pick this shit the fuck up and get it going like yesterday.
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:17.200
And that's just my message to the Knicks as a Knicks fan.
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.680
I'm not burning down the house just yet, but I do think that we gotta get some shit together.
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.039
And that's just how it is.
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:25.599
Put out a better product on the floor next, please.
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:26.880
Please do so.
00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:30.960
That aside, a lot of other great things in the NBA going on.
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.200
You know, Luca just dropped the 50 ball last night.
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:33.920
Great to see that.
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:42.240
You know, I know him and the him and homeboy from um Yaxel from Golden State Warriors had their little back and forth to open up the season.
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:43.119
It's just exciting.
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.119
You know, it's good to see like beef in the NBA.
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.440
I know Jalen Brown and Um Jason Tatum got their little shit going on.
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.640
Makes for great storylines.
00:25:50.720 --> 00:25:55.599
And it's glad to see people like either not really like each other or not really embracing each other like that.
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.279
Uh, and just see how they back it up when they play each other because that's what it's really all about.
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:00.960
Like how that shit goes down on the court.
00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:02.640
Shouts to Kyrie, too.
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:05.359
Um, seeing him playing well from coming back from his injury.
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:09.039
Big fan, as always, you know, love just his game in general.
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:19.440
I love how he goes out there and plays um and beating the shit out of the Miami Heat, who I just knew that roster really wasn't gonna be that good to begin with, and definitely ain't looking like it right now.
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.680
Um, but who am I to you know judge anyone?
00:26:21.839 --> 00:26:24.480
We at the bottom of the league as a as a Knicks fan.
00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.480
But either way, hoops is back, man.
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:27.039
Enjoy it.
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:29.839
See how the rest of the season goes as we progress forward.
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:50.079
But moving forward from there, uh, one thing I wanted to kind of really dive in on today before I get out of here is uh just uh a lot of the thought process that people as either business owners, uh creators, uh anyone who's like uh, you know, go against the grain, not a nine to five, take a check kind of person.
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:58.319
Um, and just the the mindset that goes into that, uh the mindset that could go into some people of that, you know, of that cloth like we're talking about.
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:00.160
Um I've been seeing a lot of it lately.
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:07.920
Um it always kind of pops up and comes back and you know, it goes up and down, or you see a post every few months from it or something like that.
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:23.359
But I feel like I've seen a lot more recently, just about you know, the the support that you get from your friends as a you know business owner or someone who you know needs either some kind of attention or you know, financial support in order to make your mission grow.
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:35.519
Um, and uh I I do understand it because it is kind of frustrating to see the people who are closest to you not always fully support uh what your dreams and ambitions are or you know, whatever you're looking to do.
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:45.920
Um, but I do think that we lean too much into that shit just because it's a cool way to call out our friends for not, you know, being there for you in that way.
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:56.559
Um, and again, everybody can feel how they feel, but I do think when you lean on that mentality, it's kind of like you're missing the bigger picture when it comes to whatever the hell you want to do.
00:27:56.720 --> 00:28:02.880
Like you are not entitled to anyone's support from you know your close circle, uh, even if it's nice to have.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.000
And I pretty much said this on this podcast way, way back, you know, one of my one of my earlier episodes.
00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:12.559
But uh the support you get from people is not something that you are entitled to.
00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:20.720
Um, and it's just has to, it has to be your mindset, just because you're not gonna get the support from the people that you're thinking is gonna come from, regardless.
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:22.240
And if it does, then great.
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:23.359
You take that to the bank.
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.000
Those are the people you love, those are the people you appreciate.
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:31.279
Uh, but sometimes the things you are doing are not gonna connect with the people that are closest to you.
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.839
Um and it's not their job to understand it, you know.
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:39.680
Like in my position, in my you know, life, my lane right now, I run a podcast.
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:45.680
You know, I'm the one who comes in here, records every week, I'm the one who edits the shit every week, I'm the one who puts it out every week.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:50.799
I've done the steps to be a fully functioning content machine on my own.
00:28:50.880 --> 00:29:00.640
And that's maybe to pat myself on the back a little bit, but also for me to understand that when I even dial dove into this thing full force, like some people ain't gonna understand that shit.
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:04.160
Like, I got close homies and friends who don't fuck with podcasts.
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:14.160
You know, I got people who, you know, are in my life as a person who owns a gym and runs a business there who I've been, yo, suggesting and yo, you should come on by.
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.119
Let's get you into your fitness regimen, let's do the da da da da da, whatever.
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:32.000
They ain't shown up, or they shown up once and you know, they never came back, or like, you know, the people that are closest to you aren't always gonna understand what your vision is or aren't always gonna connect with your vision because it might not be something that is it resonates with them.
00:29:32.160 --> 00:29:35.680
And that has to be okay, you know, that has to be okay too.
00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:37.359
Is it great to get the support from them?
00:29:37.519 --> 00:29:50.720
Yes, but it has to also be okay when they don't support you because you should always be looking past your friends and not crying for support from them just because they don't understand the path that you're trying to walk and you know what could get you there.
00:29:50.799 --> 00:30:05.680
Like some people, when it comes to the whole social media thing, because this is what you mostly see, you know, someone who you know don't share your posts, someone who you know don't engage with your posts, someone who you know like all those things, like yeah, some people don't also understand that that engagement helps you grow further.
00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:14.640
Like some people don't really understand the machine and the algorithm and all that stuff, and how them boosting your posts is gonna make it go a little bit further to maybe other people.
00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:30.000
But knowing that and embracing it is also something that's different, you know, because when you embrace it and understand that when it comes to your visions, your beliefs, your your goals, you are alone in that and you're the one who has to go out there and make it happen.
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:36.319
That's when you really understand that it's just time for me to work and grind and make this shit happen out the mud, you know?
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:47.599
And your friends are always gonna be the ones that are looking, your friends are always gonna be the ones that are watching, potentially, because I got friends sometimes who I'll post shit and they never even seen it because their algorithm leaned a whole nother way, you know.
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:58.960
So if they are the ones that are watching and they're not supporting, just know that they're watching and sometimes it's out of hate, and those friends will expose themselves over time, just make right decisions and then move those people out of your life.
00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:16.960
But sometimes your all friends also want to see you put the work in to get to your own goal without having to lean on them because they might also understand that, yo, I might not really fuck with this podcast shit, but I know my man got a podcast, and as soon as that shit blows, because I know he's gonna put the work in to get it there, I'm gonna, you know, give him that salute, give him that congratulations.
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:18.319
Like I understand it.
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:30.079
It is frustrating, it is like lonely sometimes to be someone who's a creative, who has visions, who has goals and things they want to work towards, and it feels like nobody's supporting you, and my reach isn't what it wants to be, what I want it to be.
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.640
You know, I'm not getting that the attention that I want, the eyes on me, like that kind of stuff.
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:36.640
I get it, it's a real frustration.
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:43.759
But when you start looking at the ones who are closest to you, how many people are you gonna like count before you actually run out?
00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:54.079
And then when you run out of people that you can count that you will want to support you, actually how many dollars that was gonna bring into your business in the first place, or you know, how much attention it was gonna bring to for the say the content creators and all that stuff.
00:31:54.240 --> 00:32:03.759
Like once you take out those few people with me and maybe like a good five to ten who I really, really care about if they would, you know, want to like or engage with my stuff.
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.160
But you know, outside of that, I need more people.
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:14.079
You got to reach past them, you know, and sometimes it's getting creative, finding the ways to be a better content creator just so your shit grows even more.
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:26.559
You know, sometimes it's getting creative with your marketing as a business owner and figuring out ways to bring people who are not your close circle into your business because those aren't gonna be the ones that spend the most money with you just because they're not meant to, you know.
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:36.240
And I do get it, but we gotta really just check in with ourselves and understand that you gotta stay on the mission because the mission has to be completed regardless.
00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:37.759
Like it just has to be.
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:44.799
So whoever's supporting you that you are around, that really, really, you know, they they fuck with you, they rock with you, keep them people close, man.
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:45.599
Appreciate it.
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:55.680
But the ones that are not, then again, they either fall in two categories the ones that you know might be a hater, and the ones that you know just might not connect with it, but they do want the best for you in your life, you know?
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:57.279
And that is what it is.
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.440
So with that said, we here for a good time, not a long time today.
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.480
Gotta get back out here.
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:15.359
I really got a bunch of shit that's going on right now uh that I gotta get to, you know, without dragging this thing out too long uh and making it uh un unpleasurable views uh listening experience.
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:18.640
So uh with that said, man, we out of here as always.
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:20.240
Stay safe in this crazy world.
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:25.279
Guard yourself mentally, physically, spiritually, and all things in between.
00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:29.119
And as we tap out for episode number 93, we'll catch you on the next go round.
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.599
EFS Podcast is out of peace.
