00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:34.880
It's not a threat.
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.159
It's a promise.
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:39.600
You know who it is and what it is, what it does.
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.840
She got promised the Yapper of the Year.
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:44.799
And it's time for another episode of Straight from the Yap with Promise.
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.960
Appreciate you tapping in and tuning in.
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:48.880
Salute to everybody who's been listening to us.
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:49.520
You know what I'm saying?
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:50.399
Downloading the pod.
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.520
And of course, those who are watching us on YouTube, appreciate you.
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:57.759
I'm riding solo once again, but you know I always got my squad with me behind the scenes.
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.200
My producer, Dr.
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:00.960
Can Beats in the building.
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.479
Nico, my shooter.
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:05.040
And uh it's time, you know, to have some more fun.
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:06.640
It's been a while ride.
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.079
Can y'all believe we we already at our 16th episode?
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:11.519
Sweet 16.
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:12.719
Sweet 16.
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:15.920
I heard the average podcast make it to 10, and that's it.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:16.640
That's crazy.
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:17.680
10 episodes?
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.920
Dude, they were saying like the average podcast doesn't follow through.
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.000
Like they get to 10 and then they just they either get distracted or they don't keep it going.
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:27.280
It's hard work, man.
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.519
It is, especially when you care like we care.
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:29.840
Yeah.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.599
We put a lot into making this show a real production, a real show.
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:35.519
It's it's like a it's another job for us.
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:40.719
So the the behind the scenes is a whole another 16 episodes.
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:42.159
Right.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.439
The off the record shit.
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:44.640
The off-the-record shit.
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:50.079
The the ups and the downs and the edits and the the the shit that didn't make it.
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.359
Facts, man.
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:52.799
The cutting room floor.
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:57.519
The cutting room floor is if we could ever gather that all together, it's gone.
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:58.319
That's a whole season.
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.439
We damn near need a documentary on this process, no cap.
00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:02.640
Word.
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:09.039
But before we get in today's episode, as always, man, when I have time, I love to do these PSAs.
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.879
So it's time for another promise service announcement.
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.000
PSA! Promise service announcement.
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.120
All money ain't good money.
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.759
Just because a bag is attached to it don't mean you should be grabbing for that bag.
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:24.400
I get it.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:25.919
We all are here trying to get money.
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.039
We all want to get paid.
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.280
We all want to live better and have things.
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.759
But you gotta be mindful and cautious of what is on the other side of that dollar sign.
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.840
So again, get your money, take care of yourself, take care of your family.
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.159
But all money is not good money.
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.919
Don't lose yourself or lose who you are trying to chase the bag and get some money.
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.800
Because you may get that money, but you may lose a whole lot more in return.
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.280
PSA, Prime Service Announcement.
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:54.560
That's pretty deep, man.
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:55.439
That's heavy.
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.319
Hey, I ain't all jokes.
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:07.520
Hey, I remember uh right in the beginning of the podcast, like like phenomena, right out of the out of the pandemic.
00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.879
Yeah, I was doing uh podcasting down at the Sherman Phoenix and uh at So Greedy Studio.
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.199
Shout out to So Greedy Strict.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.080
Um chasing the dollar.
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.879
Some cats came down and like, hey, I want to do a podcast.
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:21.280
Yeah.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.360
They came down with the cash.
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:35.360
Man, they came down like you, you, you know, the old hip hop uh shows when they have like a one, like you come out as a rapper and then you bring your posse, you bring your crew, and the whole they take over the whole stage.
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.400
Yeah, man, it was deep in the studio like that.
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.639
It was one dude who was supposed to be the host, but he brought his family, his cousins.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:43.840
It was about 40 people.
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.879
I'm not exaggerating.
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:46.639
I'm not I'm not you ain't fat Joeing?
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:47.599
Not fat Joeing.
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.280
It was at least 25 people down there in the studio just sitting around.
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.520
I'm like, I can't, I can't operate like this, man.
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:54.560
I had to quit, man.
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:56.800
It was chasing the dollar, man.
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.639
I was chasing the dollar and had to give it up.
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.520
I was giving up my morals, I'm giving up my my comfortability.
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:02.800
It was it was terrible.
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.319
You know, man, people, man, people will do that.
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:06.960
You know what I'm saying?
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.360
Because like, again, nobody wants to struggle, nobody wants to be broke, nobody wants to be in bad spots their whole life.
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.599
So you see opportunity to get some money, you like, yo, I'm gonna I'm gonna make this play.
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.160
But like I said, what may be on the other side of that?
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.879
It might be a temporary fix, you know what I'm saying?
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:27.519
Like, so I think about sometimes some of my best situations in life came from when I didn't get paid the most, right?
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.199
Or when I took a short.
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:37.279
Um, the money might have not been great right away, but I was willing to take the opportunity, and then in turn, I saw a larger bag down the road.
00:04:37.439 --> 00:04:41.360
But a lot of times, you know, we don't want to wait for the money, we want it instant.
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.720
And I try to tell people that that microwave shit is what it is.
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:51.120
It's like when you get a home cooked meal and you put it in the oven, it's gonna take longer, but it's sustained, right?
00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:52.079
You can eat much longer.
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.560
You get a microwave meal, that's quick.
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.480
And you ain't gonna be able to eat tomorrow.
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.759
You ain't gonna have no leftovers.
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:12.560
But then the other part of that is the people who are paying feel as if they have control over you because they have the money and can make make decisions on it on your behalf based off the money that they get, because they're giving you money, they control you.
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.240
And that's another thing that goes with that.
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:19.759
Like you chasing the dollar, is you know, how how much are you willing to sacrifice it yourself for that dollar?
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.279
And like you said, and and control and power is a whole nother level to it because it could be some other things that make you jeopardize who you are, right?
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.839
Because that person has control and power.
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.319
So now you're like, I done did this for the money.
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:34.079
And so, yeah, all those things.
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:44.160
I I think about that, you know, whether it's a contract, a regular job, entertainment, you know, these things can be applied to everyday life because the business we're in, we're in media, we're in entertainment.
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:49.360
So, of course, you want to grow, you want to make your platform get visible, you wanna make as much money as you can.
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.360
We live in America, capitalism, ha ha.
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.279
But on the other end of that, you like, yo, what are you giving up?
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.040
Are you losing who you are as a person?
00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.600
Um, you know, are you are you losing your soul?
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.040
Are you losing your identity?
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:06.480
Like, are you doing things that don't align with who you are as a person because you like, man, I gotta get this bag.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.920
I really don't want to do it, but I'm gonna do it.
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:15.839
And again, I'm not talking about if you work a job, a nine to five, that you don't like and you like, I gotta go out here and bust my butt to do what I need to do to take care of my family.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:26.560
I'm talking about when you have decisions that can change something and you make a detrimental decision based on a dollar, or you're not doing what you want to do, you're only doing it solely for some money.
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.639
That's the type of shit, and I think you should be very mindful and leery of those people too.
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:35.279
I never feel comfortable around people who always about money.
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:46.639
That always makes me uneasy because I'm like, if this person's always about, man, I gotta get the money, I'm about the money, I'm like, that means you will fuck over anyone, or you'll do something that is bad to make sure you get paid.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:48.560
Are you familiar with Grinlock?
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.720
That sounds familiar to me.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:07:03.120
He he is an anime character that is he's like a hood, it's like the it's like a violent boondocks, but Grinlock is a hood vigilante.
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:12.160
Um, he's like uh the boogeyman in the hood, but he comes back and he attacks people who take advantage of other people in the hood.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:26.480
So if you are a person who takes advantage of somebody uh because of money, for example, uh if it's a company that is in a hood and is benefiting off the hood, but yet it's a detriment to the hood kind of thing.
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:30.879
Like they had one called uh the turkey butt hut.
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:32.319
What?
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:33.360
The turkey butt hut.
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:38.240
That's a play on the turkey, the the the the the turkey place in uh in Houston.
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:42.240
What was uh the turkey leg hut or whatever down there in Houston where everybody was going crazy?
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:43.600
Oh going crazy over the turkey leg?
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.879
Going over here, but I guess he's a it's a play on that of the turkey butt hut.
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:51.439
And the turkey butt hut was made with with processed food.
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:58.800
It was poison in the hood, and Grinlock came back and killed the uh he killed the uh the owner because he was taking advantage of the hood kind of thing.
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:08.720
So this reminds me of that reminds me of that, like people coming in and taking advantage of you what because of your money and then and and uh it's a detriment to their their their community.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:09.279
Right.
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.040
You that's a great example.
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:26.800
Um, you know, not knocking people because a lot of people grow and change and evolve, but you know, back in the day, especially in the movies, you know, the the the the Nino Brown, it was like you're making all this money, but you're poisoning your people, you know, you're poisoning the hood.
00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:27.040
Yeah.
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.000
And that was the thing.
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.560
You you out here trying to hustle you trying to get some money.
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:38.399
Your intention isn't to be detrimental per se, but it's like in turn, I'm selling a product and I'm making money, but at what cost, right?
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:47.519
When you think about the people who are looking up to that and we're chasing him because he had the money, selling themselves out to actually be in his good grade so they can get the money too.
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:48.159
Yeah.
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.320
It's like it get wild out here, man.
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.039
And I get it, man.
00:08:51.120 --> 00:09:04.720
People be going through it, it's tough times financially, the economy is a certain way, people lose jobs, people fall on hard times, and I understand you may have to do what you need to do, but I just tell people, be mindful of that, you know, because it's a price that may come with that.
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.960
And what if you do something in the short term to fix it and now it's a long-term problem, right?
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.600
You may not be able to get up out of that, or it may be a situation where you're like, damn, my kids got to look on the gram and see mama.
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.320
My kids got to look on the gram and see Pops.
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.159
You know, things can live out there.
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.080
So just, you know, just be mindful of those things.
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:30.240
But it's funny, I think in New Jack City, what Nick Ashford, Nick Ashford was the dude selling his cell, his he sold his soul to uh to Nino too.
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:31.919
He was like the the the pastor.
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:32.720
Yeah.
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:34.879
Yeah from Ashford and Sisting.
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.440
But what Astro Asport Assistant?
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:42.799
Nick Astrid, he was a whole new definition of solid.
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.720
Solid as a rock.
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.000
Solid as a rock.
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:46.799
Smoke pat.
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:53.919
Sold out his whole community for the church.
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:02.960
Bruh, hey, but we gotta table that because I got another segment I want us to do in the future where we do some deep dives on movies.
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.279
Oh we like dissect some stuff from film.
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:11.519
Hey, because stuff like that is all over the place because that's a very small cameo of a character.
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.759
Or you could go deep dive in that.
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:14.320
Right.
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.360
Especially if you know music, you like, I know they who I think it is.
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:17.600
Right.
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.519
That man wrote plenty of hits.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:22.720
But let's get into today's show.
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.960
We got a couple different topics we're gonna discuss.
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:31.759
And one of the first things we're gonna hop into, uh, you know, I play first and last with a lot of my guests when they're in the studio.
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:38.000
But I want to do something a little different today with you, and for those who are listening and watching, they can chime in in the comments.
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:46.799
I wanted to talk about your first car, your worst car, and then like your favorite whip.
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.879
So obviously, in order to be in this conversation, you you have to have a vehicle, you know.
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:54.240
So if you don't got a vehicle, uh catch a ride.
00:10:54.399 --> 00:11:01.919
Uh but obviously if you've had, you know, more than one or a few vehicles, this is a conversation you can have, because you know everybody remembers their first car, right?
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:05.840
If you have a first car, you remember the first whip you ever got.
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:12.080
Um, whether it was given to you, whether you saved up enough money and purchased it, you know, or whatever the case may be.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.279
So Cam Beats.
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.000
What was your first car?
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:24.080
The first car I ever had was a 1977 Buick Skylark.
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:25.519
What color?
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.200
It was doogie brown.
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:29.279
Doo-doo brown! Doo-doo brown.
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.399
Doo-doo brown.
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:36.960
It was my sister's car, and she had got a new car, and she had passed it down to me.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:37.519
Okay.
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:46.799
And uh I had to have my foot on the gas and the brake at the same time in order to keep it running.
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.679
If I took my foot off the gas, it would just shut off.
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:55.519
So I had to put my foot on the brake and kind of kind of gas the car up at stop.
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:57.600
Hey, but we kicked it.
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.200
And if you was behind me, you probably had cancer.
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.960
Oh, so you was polluting herbs?
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.279
I was putting all kind of smoke in the air.
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.120
All kind of smoke, but uh it got it got me.
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:10.559
I was riding through Oak Creek.
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:12.639
I was riding spots I shouldn't have been riding in.
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:13.919
I was riding dirty.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.039
UGK?
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.320
I was riding dirty.
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.799
Tent dark is it was it was illegal tent.
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:20.559
It was everything everything it was just bad.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.559
It was a bad, that was a bad ride though.
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.360
But having that, you felt you felt like you was on top of the world for the car.
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:26.559
Oh man, I didn't had a ride.
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.919
I couldn't, I would get out, I would get in the car in this drive places because I had a car.
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:30.559
Yeah.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:32.399
It was brown.
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:33.919
It was brown brown.
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:37.440
They had painted it brown because I think it was yellow before that, and they had it painted brown.
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:39.840
So it was piss and they painted it shit?
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:47.519
Uh it was like a creamy, it was creamy yellow, but then they to they uh they painted it brown.
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:48.639
My parents painted it brown.
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.240
I guess that was that was their their gift to make it look a little bad hotter.
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:52.960
Okay.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.080
So the so the Buick, that was the first whip.
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:56.720
Yeah.
00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:57.279
Okay.
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:05.919
My first car was, I think it was a 90 or 91 Ford Mustang.
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:07.039
A Mustang?
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:07.679
Yeah.
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:08.639
Oh, okay.
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:14.960
Now, a lot of people were confused when they would see me and they was like, oh, you got Kane from Menace Whip.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.240
And I was like, no, Kane had the 5.0.
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.639
I wish I could have came to the block talking about some boo boom.
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:25.360
Look at the motherfucker.
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.559
Man, we supposed to be black.
00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:32.080
I wish I had the 5.0 that Kane had.
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:33.200
I had the LX.
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:38.559
So if anybody knows about those models of the cars, I had a, I think it was a 91 Mustang LX.
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.919
It was a hatchback joint.
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.320
K had the 5.0.
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.320
His shit was cold with the Daytons.
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:45.440
Well, he stole them dates.
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.279
But um, I had a Mustang.
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:48.000
That's my first car.
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:49.120
Was that a four-cylinder?
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:50.960
I can't, you know what?
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:51.759
I don't remember.
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:52.559
I don't remember.
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.639
I'll tell you this though, it was hail and winter.
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.879
Um that was my first whip.
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.159
It was black.
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:00.720
I went and got the black tents on it.
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.480
And how I got that car, my mom bought it for me.
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:08.480
I probably was like maybe 19.
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:14.559
And my mom bought it from uh my cousin at the time was married.
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.440
So her husband.
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:17.039
So he would have been my cousin-in-law.
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:17.679
He sold it.
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:19.120
It was an old car he had.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.879
Um he wasn't doing nothing with it no more.
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.399
My mom bought it off of him.
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.720
And uh, that was my first whip, bro.
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:29.840
And when I say, like you said, I drove everywhere in that car because I had a car and it was a Mustang.
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:32.879
And I remember getting the face snatched out, putting the CD, you know.
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:33.440
Oh, hell yeah.
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.320
You know what I'm saying?
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.200
But I'm gonna tell you though, terrible shit.
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:39.440
That car transi went.
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:43.519
And the worst thing you could think happened when I had that car.
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.759
I remember we drove to the gas station.
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.279
One of my homies, he wanted to get some wraps.
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.080
Trav him to the gas station.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:58.080
When we come back out the gas station, get in the car, I start my car up and bag up, you know, to get ready to go forward.
00:14:58.159 --> 00:14:59.759
That bitch wouldn't go forward.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.440
And I was like, yo, they're like, what's wrong?
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.799
I said, man, this shit won't.
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.159
Yo, the car would only go in reverse, it wouldn't go forward.
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.799
So we had to leave the car at the gas station.
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:12.399
We had to walk back to where we was at.
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.879
And I'll never forget, rest in peace to my uncle Kenan.
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.279
My uncle boss, he used to be a mechanic.
00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.279
He had to come get it for us.
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.600
And shout out to the Waggashaw Police Department.
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.720
We was in Waukeesha.
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:26.159
Yo, this is the first time I ever seen the police do something where I was like, they cool.
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:29.600
Yo, my uncle had to drive that bitch backwards.
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.559
Cause at the time I was at Carroll, I was in school.
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.080
My uncle had to drive that bitch from the gas station back to campus.
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:39.440
The police blocked the streets and helped guide us back to school.
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.080
My uncle drove that bitch backwards all the way back to the campus.
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:44.080
Dog.
00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:44.639
Bro.
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:46.000
Dog is cold.
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.720
My uncle.
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:54.000
My uncle was like, Yo, I would never forget that.
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:57.679
And the police, because the police seen us, they like, hey, hey, what the hell's going on here?
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.759
He like, man, nephew trans he went.

Cop's like, got y'all.
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.480
He blocked off the traffic.
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:04.879
One cop was like, hey, make sure they get back straight.
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.639
The other cop blocked off Travis and went up.
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:07.519
Crazy, bro.
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:09.759
But the trans he went and that was the end of the Mustang, dog.
00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:11.360
Oh, he never, you never got replaced.
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:17.039
Listen, that bit set in the the whoever, if you if you go to Carroll, well, me and you alum now.
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:17.440
Right.
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.399
But anybody know that overflow parking lot.
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.519
My shit can't beat set in that overflow lot.
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:27.120
I feel like for two years, I used to walk pie and just look at my shit.
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.000
It just was in the lot, bro, until they came and told it.
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:33.840
I never got to drive the whip again, man.
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.440
But that was that was the first whip.
00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:39.120
He was looking in the window singing, dang after day.
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.159
Hey, look.
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.039
Hey, look, you know I had the key, so some days I just sit in the bitch.
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.360
I just get the key and I'll go look.
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.320
Yeah.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.000
Sit in the car.
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.320
That was the first whipping.
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.480
All right, can't be.
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:57.360
Alright.
00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.679
We talked about the first.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.080
We gotta talk about the worst.
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:04.480
What was your worst car?
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:05.839
What's the worst vehicle?
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.079
The worst car.
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.640
The worst thing you drove.
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.240
I had well, it wasn't the worst.
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:18.480
Then why are you telling me?
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:21.759
I mean, it was the worst to me.
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:27.359
I mean, it was it was the it was it was a bad car, but it was mine, and I was proud of it.
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:29.519
It was a Volkswagen Fox.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.039
What the hell is that?
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:32.079
Exactly.
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.279
It was a stick, it was a four-speed stick.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:46.079
Uh it was uh four, it was four doors, but it I don't even know why I have four doors, and the back seat was so small, I don't even understand how you could fit in there.
00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:49.680
But uh you look at that, you see it.
00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:51.119
Yep.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.279
Don't y'all googling it?
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.200
Yeah, we're gonna edit this in there.
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:55.839
Bob.
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.759
I think it was an 89.
00:17:57.920 --> 00:17:58.960
It was it, 89?
00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:00.000
What year is that?
00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:01.920
93, yeah.
00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:04.000
Yeah, they they stopped making them at one point.
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.240
It was like in 89 or 88, something like that.
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:07.359
Volkswagen Fox.
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:15.680
It got me down to school and got me to college because I had uh um the car that I had, I had sold.
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.079
Okay.
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.519
That now was my favorite car.
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:21.039
That's gonna be the next conversation or whatever.
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:25.519
But I got rid of that one and uh I had to be stuck, I had I had I was stuck with that one.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:29.680
That's why I was mad because I had got rid of the car that I really liked and I had it, I had to drive that one.
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:31.599
But uh it was very narrow.
00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.599
And uh shout out to uh Carletta, my ex-wife.
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:39.359
Uh got into a car accident and now it was into the fox.
00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.880
Niggas used to niggas just read me, here come tell me.
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:46.160
They were mad come the fox.
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.599
Yo! They're like, Here come here come the fox, here come the fox.
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:55.519
And I pull up.
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:57.759
Hey, I had a I had the banging system in there though.
00:18:58.319 --> 00:18:59.279
Oh, you had the subs.
00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.720
I had a blow pump in there.
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.839
Couldn't tell me shit.
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:06.240
Paint was faded.
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:07.440
Yeah.
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:09.119
Oh, what color was it?
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:13.920
It was maroon, but it probably kind of looked pink because it was because it was so faded.
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:14.559
Yeah.
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.440
Hey, it got it got me from point A to point B.
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:17.759
Right.
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.400
That's what most important.
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:20.559
Oh, it that it broke down.
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.279
It broke down in Anna, Illinois.
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.720
And uh, like a tie rider or something that broken.
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:28.400
So it's it's a very rare car.
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.000
You never even heard of the motherfucker.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.519
Yeah, that's why I said, what the hell?
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:33.680
We were stuck in Anna, Illinois.
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:36.400
And if you look up, look up Anna, Anna, Illinois.
00:19:36.559 --> 00:19:38.240
It's an acronym, A-N-N-A.
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:41.279
But uh, it was the middle of the night.
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.119
We had pushed the car over the hill and I had drove we had rolled down into a gas station.
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.359
We had to wait for them to tow us to uh a spot.
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:51.039
We had to wait three days for the part to come because there was no parts.
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:54.960
But it's uh uh Anna, Illinois is a sun, it's a sundown town.
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:57.920
And we were stuck in a sundown town for three days.
00:19:58.000 --> 00:19:58.640
We didn't know.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.319
I didn't know it was a sundown town.
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:01.039
Oh shit.
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:09.599
I think it stands for uh it's like ain't no niggas allowed, or something like that.
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.599
Yo! I think that's what that's what it says.
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.400
Yo! Ain't no niggas allowed, or some shit like that.
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.920
Man, come on, man.
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:22.319
Dude, dude, I'm not lying.
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:27.680
So me, me and Carletta stuck in No colors allowed?
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:31.440
We there for three days.
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:34.400
They all like, hey, this there's the guys with the broken down car.
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.079
We don't know we're in the sundown time.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.039
Damn.
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:39.759
That's he.
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:43.359
Okay, so that was the worst whip.
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:47.279
Well, that I think that car was the worst because I went through the worst experience I expect.
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.119
And you know what?
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:50.000
I just thought about two.
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:56.799
Earlier I said, because this is this is episode 16, so we shot 15, but I forgot this is episode 16.
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:58.240
But okay, so that's your worst.
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:03.200
All right, my worst car 1996 Cuddy.
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:05.839
I had a cutness.
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:08.960
That's a that's a nice yeah.
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:10.160
That was a nice joint.
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:11.839
Okay, yeah, let me finish.
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:19.599
My 96 Cuddy had a whole door that didn't open.
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:21.839
The passenger door didn't.
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.519
The driver door?
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.920
The passenger door didn't work at all.
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:27.200
At all.
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:30.559
It was one way in and one way out of my face.
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:31.680
That was a two-door.
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:32.880
Yes.
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.279
This shit was, listen.
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:40.079
I was so proud though, because it was the first whip I bought my own money, right?
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.200
At the time I had started hosting and doing some gigs out of state.
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.079
Back then I still was messing with the music, making music.
00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.519
So we had made some money doing a couple shows and events.
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:54.400
So at the time, I'm like, man, I'm gonna go buy a whip.
00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.720
I happen to be riding by with somebody, I see it parked, it was clean, it was white.
00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.839
I'm like, ooh, that's not even.
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.119
He says, cutty clean.
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:02.720
So I'm like, man, how much y'all want for it?
00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:03.759
Oh, it was white too.
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:04.480
It was white.
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:04.799
All right.
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:06.960
So I'm like, man, I'm like, how much you want for it?
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.119
I don't know if it was, you know, I don't know, it's a used car.
00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:11.200
Anybody wanted two grand, whatever you wanted for it.
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.240
So I'm like, let me go to the bank, the bank of mattress.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.240
Let me go to mattress financial.
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:17.599
Went under the mattress.
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:18.160
Mattress.
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:19.920
I was like, what bank is this?
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:27.200
Hey, hey, I was young and dumb.
00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.079
I ain't had no, I ain't have all my money in the bank yet.
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.640
So I go get the cash.
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:33.839
Shout out to my uncle.
00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.759
That's the same Uncle Uncle Boss.
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:37.759
Unc was a mechanic.
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.680
So I say, Unc, I'm looking at this whip.
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:41.279
I need you to come by, you know what I'm saying?
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:42.880
Check it out, make sure everything's good.
00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.039
So he's checking under hood, he makes sure everything's straight.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:45.839
He said, Yeah, everything's good.
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.079
He's having a nephew, this goddamn door don't open.
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.279
It's sealed.
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:50.559
Oh, but sealed, sir.
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:56.000
So something must have happened with that car where they had an accident or something, and they had the pastor door sealed.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:58.000
You couldn't open it at all.
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.960
So my uncle, like, you gotta tell me you gotta go lower.
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.519
You know what I'm saying?
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:02.880
You got a door that don't open.
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:04.799
So I'm like, come on, dawg, I want the whip.
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:05.200
Let me.
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.279
So we negotiate, I get the car, right?
00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:09.200
Beautiful car is dope.
00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:15.759
Man, listen, when I say this is the worst car I ever had, so many terrible things happen to me in this vehicle.
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:17.359
First, the door don't work.
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:20.079
So I try to be slick when I'm pulling up on chicks.
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.000
I'm like, you can drive.
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:23.440
Let me slide over.
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:27.279
They think I'm such a gentleman, you know.
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:28.640
I'm like, you can drive.
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.519
I don't want them to notice that dog fucked up.
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.680
So I'm slide to the right.
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.559
The door don't work.
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.599
One day, something happened with my brakes, right?
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.720
Had to get my brakes fixed.
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:48.880
You know, when you got a used car, you be being cheap, you don't want to go to no real mechanics, so you try to go to have somebody fix it.
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:51.279
My unc had kind of got out of the fixing car game.
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:53.599
You know, he like, I ain't finna be doing that shit no more, nephew.
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:56.960
So I go to this this cat house that's supposed to be cold.
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:59.759
He hadn't pulling his garage to do the brakes in the garage.
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:05.200
As I'm pulling into his garage, I smash my side mirror.
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:12.640
So now I got a door that don't work, and I got a side mirror hanging.
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:14.799
That's okay.
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.240
Then I go to the salvage place, right?
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.000
I'm like, let me see if I can find a mirror.
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.200
Find a mirror, but the screws or whatever don't quite fit it.
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:27.759
So we rig it and take my side mirror.
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:31.680
Oh, it gets worse.
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:36.880
While I have this vehicle, I get in my first ever car accident.
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:45.839
I'm on Highway 100, headed south, bunch of traffic in front of me.
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:53.519
Somebody in front of me hits on their brakes, the other person hits on their brakes, next thing I know, I try to swerve to avoid them.
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.079
I avoid these people.
00:24:57.200 --> 00:24:59.519
But I go right into the back of somebody else.
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:00.079
Cram.
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:02.720
As Tony Baker would say.
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.119
I'm just like, thankfully nobody got hurt, everybody was good.
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:13.119
It gets worse.
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:21.920
I'm now driving the vehicle with one door, one rear view, one side mirror, and the front end is now crammed like a soda can.
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:23.440
The last straw.
00:25:23.759 --> 00:25:25.039
I'm on Capitol Drive.
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.079
If you're in a 414, I'm driving.
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:29.839
I start seeing smoke.
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.880
I'm like, damn, somebody blowing it down out here.
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:34.799
No, sir.
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.960
I'm leaking.
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.799
And it freeze.
00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.960
Hair gasket.
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:42.640
Wow.
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.319
I was able to get it to my mama's house.
00:25:46.559 --> 00:25:47.920
It was doing this.
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:50.960
That's the end of that shit.
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:57.359
Bro, pulled up at my mama crib and stayed at my mama's crib until I had to call and had a bitch killed.
00:25:58.559 --> 00:25:59.599
Worst car ever had.
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.119
Bro.
00:26:02.160 --> 00:26:02.960
The worst.
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:04.160
The cutty.
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:04.720
Dead.
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:05.440
Rest in peace.
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:06.319
Oh, I forgot.
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:08.400
Other worst thing about having that vehicle.
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.240
Fools broke in it and stole my CD player.
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.720
Worst car ever had.
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.599
Let me guess.
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:17.920
They came in through the passenger side.
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:20.559
No, they came through the driver's side.
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:22.160
Passenger side didn't work.
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:25.039
That's the day that the passenger side worked.
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:31.119
When I tell you that that was the that's the worst car ever had, like I've never heard of this many bad things happening to somebody you know with a car.
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:34.640
Bro, and the thing is, too, I never forget when them fools broke in that car.
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:36.079
Shout out to my brother AD.
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.799
Me and AD had left from like a bar watching the game, right?
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:40.720
NBA finals was happening at that time.
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:42.240
I drop him off.
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.880
I pull up at, I stopped by my mama's crib.
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:45.920
I'm in her house.
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:50.640
Fools popped my trunk and broke in my shit while I was in my mama's crib, bro.
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:54.160
I come outside the house, C D face gone, trunk popped.
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:57.200
I'm like these fools and broke in my whip in front of my mama's house.
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:58.400
Stole my shit.
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.000
Left the car though.
00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:02.880
Worst car ever had by far.
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.759
I man, that car was the worst.
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:11.920
You know, the the irony of that is my best car, my favorite car.
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:12.960
Yeah, what's your favorite?
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:13.839
Was a Cuddy.
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:15.440
I think it's a bitch.
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.559
My favorite car is 1976 Cutler Supreme.
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:24.319
Oh, you had you had a big body.
00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:27.200
It was a big body, clean, clean.
00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.160
And when I got it, it had like 40,000 miles on it.
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:32.400
So it was classic clean.
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:37.119
But it was starting to get a little rusty because you know the Wisconsin, Wisconsin winter winners.
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:37.359
Yeah.
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:38.880
And uh I'm 19.
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:43.039
So I don't have the dope, dope dealer money to kind of keep it going.
00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:51.279
So uh mom's got the same person, whoever painted the car brown, the mother car brown, I went to him to kind of restore this car.
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:54.880
So they you know they kind of did their thing and made sure it was clean as hell when I got it back.
00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.960
Like cats was sweating the hell out of it.
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.799
So much so that it was stolen like four or five times.
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:02.480
Oh, so you're multiple times?
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.279
I'm not exaggerating.
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.559
And you kept getting it back?
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:06.160
Kept getting it back, kept getting recovered.
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:07.839
They was drop joy riding in it.
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:17.920
Same thing with you, they popped uh popped a hole in the in the trunk and got the uh got in my car, uh, uh broke the steering column.
00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:23.359
Like if it was for a minute, I had to just use I had to use a uh a screwdriver to start the car up.
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:24.079
Oh shit.
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.160
So you was looking like you stole your own car.
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:27.920
Look like I stole my own car.
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:30.160
But I stole my car, Jody.
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:31.680
I love that car.
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:37.119
That car was like if I I when it's time to get me one, another old school, I'm gonna get I'm getting me one.
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:38.720
That's what you you would get again?
00:28:38.960 --> 00:28:41.279
That took me to that took me to Grambling.
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:42.480
It took me to Freaknik.
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:49.599
I drove it to Freaknik, I drove it to the uh uh the Red River Classic in Memphis.
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:51.920
Went to Dallas, we went to Houston.
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:54.160
That car went everywhere.
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:55.839
Oh, so you was putting some miles on that car?
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:56.720
I put some miles.
00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:59.759
That was the highway car, but I couldn't keep up with it.
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.160
I couldn't keep keep up with uh the maintenance of it.
00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:04.000
So I had to I just sold it to my guy.
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.119
That's when I ended up buying that uh that Volkswagen.
00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:08.000
Damn.
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:09.599
Yeah, but I love that car.
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:11.039
Okay, so that's your favorite.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.319
Well, that's one of my favorites, because obviously the new the new favorite is the G.
00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:15.759
The current is the Wrangler.
00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.799
I still got Jilly.
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.039
Jilly from Philly, take the top off.
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:21.440
All the ladies love it but the top off.
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:23.920
Okay, so let me okay, wait, wait.
00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:25.039
I got another question.
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:27.359
Okay, so okay, so my favorite.
00:29:27.920 --> 00:29:39.200
Um see, that's tough, because like you said, my current vehicle obviously is the best vehicle I've ever had, so I'm in a different space in life.
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.880
But I also I had a I had a Bonnieville once.
00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:44.079
I remember the Bonneville.
00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.519
Remember, I had the Bonnieville?
00:29:45.759 --> 00:29:47.440
The Bonnieville was clean.
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:49.359
My Bonneville was clean.
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:51.039
It was kind of like a purple or like a.
00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:52.400
I never saw it in the daylight.
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.519
It was like people used to ask me, was it different colors?
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:58.880
Because it was like a maroon or like a but I like the Bonnieville.
00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.559
The Bonneville I had was clean.
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:01.920
I did like my Bonneville.
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:08.079
I hate it when I when that had some trouble and I had to get rid of my Bonneville, but I did like the Bonneville a lot.
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:16.319
But my current car, I was the yeah, and and for a lot of reasons, we're not gonna name what that is.
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:19.119
We don't need people running up on me.
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:25.759
Um But but um I'm sure it has a lot to do, and it's probably the same reason that Jilly is one of my favorites, because it was the car that you wanted.
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:32.480
It's the car that you picked out, you sought it out, and and and yeah, so so yours is Jilly.
00:30:32.640 --> 00:30:38.000
So, okay, my car, my car is actually I was gonna ask you this, because you know a lot of times people's cars are women.
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.640
Yes.
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.279
Um my car is a guy though.
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:44.640
My car is T'Challa Jackson.
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:46.720
The Black Panther?
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.319
He's not no, no, but Black Panther don't have a last name.
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.519
T'Challa doesn't, the king of Wakanda don't got a last name.
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:53.759
Yeah.
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.519
I gave him last night, Jackson, because you know I got the, you know, I got the uh I got the thriller seats.
00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:58.640
You're the equivalent of my guts.
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:02.799
You're the equivalent of the hood mama in the elementary school that find a hot name.
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:06.000
I like that name.
00:31:06.079 --> 00:31:07.440
You're gonna be T'Challa.
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:14.079
But no, but my whip is it because even in an app, you know, with my car, it got the app or whatever for auto-start and all that.
00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:18.720
My shit, so when you look at my shit, it actually, my car actually says that his name is T'Challa Jackson.
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.960
But he's T'Challa, because you know what I'm saying, uh, you know, Michael Jackson thriller.
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:25.599
Mike had the red jacket, red and black jacket.
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:25.920
Right.
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:28.720
My guts, I got the red, I got red and black guts in my car.
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:28.960
Yeah.
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:29.839
You know what I'm saying?
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.880
And my car is black.
00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:35.039
So when I got it, I was like immediately, I'm like, oh, this this T'Challa Jackson, brother.
00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:36.319
T'achala Michael Jackson.
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:36.480
Okay.
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:37.119
Facts.
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:44.480
But but yeah, so I would say that's that's my current car is my probably my favorite whip because, like you said, it's something I never had before.
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.200
I had worked hard, finally got to a certain place in life where I could afford a certain type of vehicle.
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:51.519
So I was like, yeah, like I'm I'm I'm gonna get that.
00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:56.079
But I did like the bunny, but yeah, I would say my current whip is is is my favorite.
00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.279
Yeah, I I'm I'm never getting I'm never getting rid of mine.
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.880
I'm I I think about getting rid of it, but this got 200.
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:04.160
I put my house on my car.
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:06.319
She got 230,000 miles on her now.
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:07.759
Oh, you be at this bitch whipping.
00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:09.200
I'll be I drive cars.
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:14.799
Hey, well Luda, you know, Ludacris still has uh was this Acura?
00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:20.240
No, it's no he got he got the Acura um damn it, the legend.
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:20.640
The legend.
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:21.680
Yeah, accurate legend.
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:26.960
Yeah, Luta still got, and I think his shit got, he might have like 300,000 miles of his shit.
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.880
I I actually like that legend though.
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:35.599
Yeah, because he had on his album cover, like even when he got his money, Luta's, and he's still driving around Atlanta, you'll see Luda in that car.
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.319
That's dope.
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:37.599
Yeah, that's dope as shit.
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:43.200
He modified it, made sure, and I think he said that was like his first car when he got a decent amount of money or whatever.
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:45.039
So yeah, I think that's super dope.
00:32:45.119 --> 00:32:46.240
But yeah, I'm with you though.
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:54.720
Like if I could, if I could have certain like a fleet of vehicles, there's also, of course, dream vehicles and certain things I would like to do or re-get.
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:56.720
Like, I probably would get that 5.0.
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:59.519
Like, I would be out here like I'm cane if I could.
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:08.640
Well, you know what's funny is um as I got to the point where it needed I needed to get another car because obviously this one is on, you know, it's it's up there in miles.
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:09.839
I did get another one.
00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:15.119
It was really hard for me to find a car that I wanted because that was the car that I desired.
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:16.319
That was my dream car.
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:20.799
So now I was like, all right, I I didn't think I would get to a point where I would have to get another one.
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:22.960
I was like, well, I can't imagine buying another car.
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.440
And I don't want to buy another another Wrangler.
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:30.559
So that's when I ended up getting the car I got, where is now Shaka Shaka Khan.
00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:31.599
Yeah.
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:34.160
I love chocolate women.
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:38.799
Ain't nothing wrong with little chocolate.
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:39.920
I like chocolate women.
00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:42.799
Ghilly for Philly and Shaka Khan.
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:46.559
I said, no, no white chocolate for you, huh?
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.799
Nah, nah.
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.359
I'm not gonna do that.
00:33:56.799 --> 00:33:58.079
I don't know that one.
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:00.480
Oh shit.
00:34:00.640 --> 00:34:01.839
Let me chill out.
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:06.720
Um, all right, that leads me to our last and our final topic for today.
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:12.320
Um man, Cam Beast, this is important because we need it, especially for the platform we have.
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:21.599
We interact with social media, we post clips we're on social media, but I'm really starting to believe that social media has made people anti-social.
00:34:23.199 --> 00:34:29.599
I I believe that the current state we're in, people don't know how to interact with human beings anymore.
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:30.800
I I agree with that.
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.920
I agree with that.
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:35.440
I'm gonna actually add myself to that.
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:36.239
Really?
00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:37.760
I'm gonna add myself to that.
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.880
Accountability?
00:34:39.920 --> 00:34:40.239
Yes.
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:52.960
Okay, I'm gonna admit that I have fallen victim in to being less social out in social settings and probably more dependent on interactions on social media.
00:34:53.280 --> 00:35:00.000
Um so much so that people think that I'm just outgoing, gregarious person and and in like when you meet me.
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:03.199
But that's just a personality that you might see on social media.
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:03.599
Yeah.
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:05.760
When you see me and you know, I'll I'll say, hey, how you doing?
00:35:05.840 --> 00:35:08.639
I'll have like a three, four, five minute conversation after that.
00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:13.039
I was like, all right, I'm done, I'm done socializing now.
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.760
Swipe right, scroll, right?
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:19.599
I it's just to me, it's getting it's getting really bad.
00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:22.719
And like, I don't, to me, this is for all ages, all generations.
00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:29.519
This is not a OG or ank or a guy coming down on Gen Z or Gen Alpha.
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:33.039
No, this is for everybody, because this is really affecting all of us.
00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:36.239
I went into a spot last night to grab some food, right?
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.840
And there were three people who were together at a table.
00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:43.039
I don't know if they were family, they were friends, what, but they all were together.
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:48.320
And when I looked over at them while I was waiting on my food, all three of them were like this.
00:35:49.440 --> 00:35:50.880
They had text neck.
00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:56.239
There are three of them are sitting together, not talking to each other, not looking at each other, they looking at their phones.
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:59.920
Was it family or I don't know if they were family or what, but they knew each other.
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:13.840
And in my head, I'm just like, yo, where are we at to where we can't even be in a amongst each other in a room and like not be on our, you know, saying like family members, friends get together, do stuff, functions.
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:19.840
We all got together to be around each other in the company with each other, but we own phones, or we like, hey, you see this?
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:24.719
We like we can't have a moment to just take a break from that.
00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:32.159
I feel like it's making us anti-social where we don't know how to socialize each other with each other anymore, or we don't know how to talk to each other.
00:36:32.320 --> 00:36:37.920
Like, I hear some young boys, now this is for the young boys, I hear them trying to holler at females to get chicks.
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.239
They don't even know how to ask for phone numbers now.
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:42.400
They be like, let me get your Instagram.
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:44.800
And I'm like, why you ain't get her phone number?
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.840
Or I'm gonna get her IG and I'm gonna DM her later and get her a number.
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:49.280
That's ass backwards.
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:50.559
She's right here.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.519
That's so weird.
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:58.000
But I guess they feel like they want to do the research, like, let me see some things about her, you know, kind of do a deep dive before I holla.
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:03.199
But I'm just like, you are in front of a human being, and instead of saying, Can I get your number?
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:05.679
Can I get an opportunity to meet with you and talk with you later?
00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.519
Let me get your Instagram.
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:11.280
I I don't want to talk to you right now, let me get your IG.
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:17.519
Do you remember how much courage it took to actually go up and actually holler at a chick and get her phone number?
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:19.760
Bruh.
00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:22.159
On a piece of paper.
00:37:22.639 --> 00:37:23.360
Bruh.
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:25.760
I remember I had the Rolodex.
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:28.880
That was the little, let me put you on my man.
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:32.239
I I would I was scared to death.
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:33.519
I was scared to death.
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:39.920
So when I came, when you came to a girl and asked her for her number, that was gonna be, that was gonna be the one.
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:43.679
Because you put up a lot of, you put a lot of effort into that one.
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:52.639
I wonder, I wonder if if medical, I wonder in the medical world, are they experiencing an uptick in people with text neck?
00:37:53.280 --> 00:38:01.920
Like I wonder how many people are needing to go, like, dot my I, you know, because I feel like I think there is issues with posture, right?
00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:03.039
It has to be.
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:06.960
And also I know that if you got text neck, that means you're not aware of your surroundings.
00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:11.519
You know, I might have to coin that.
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:20.800
You out here with text neck, you're not paying attention to your surroundings, and you got one injury, that means you're bound to get another damn one because you ain't looking.
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.519
Left to the right, you can't even turn your damn head.
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:25.519
And you might need an injury attorney.
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:31.519
And if you find yourself needing one, you need to call 1855 N I C O L E T.
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.440

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:40.000
So if you are gonna be looking at your phone, you better be looking for a goddamn attorney.

And it's Nikolay Law.
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:43.360

You get the beard, you get the win.
00:38:45.440 --> 00:38:46.239
They medical insurance.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:47.599
I did not know you were going.
00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:59.440
I'll hear, hey, I hear talking about, I don't know.
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:00.320
What's up?
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:03.679
Help me, help, please.
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:06.400
Break your damn neck, man.
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:09.519
Hey, bro, I seen a dude in the bathroom.
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.920
I was at Third Street Market, right?
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:14.639
Downtown Milwaukee for our people in the 414.
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:20.320
I go in a restroom to use, oh no, I'm sorry, I went in to wash my hands before I got ready to eat, right?
00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:23.679
A dude in the store or at the at the urina, right?
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:27.679
He on his phone while he peeing.
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:30.639
I'm like, what are you looking?
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:34.639
What's so important to where you can't pee in peace?
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.599
He on social media, because you know you can hear what he's watching.
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.800
So I hear him scrolling on TikTok while he peeing.
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:42.480
Then he got ready to watch his hands.
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:43.920
He can't even look for the soap.
00:39:44.000 --> 00:39:46.719
Because he's still, I said, I said, hey dog, put your phone down.
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.000
I could have hit you on the head and robbed your ass if I was that kind of person.
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:55.760
It's it's just getting bad, bro, to where like everybody is on our phones constantly.
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:58.239
And I find myself like, here's my accountability.
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:00.480
When it's time to go to bed, right?
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:06.079
There are times where I am scrolling when I know I should be going to bed.
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:10.559
Or I'm show prepping, I'm looking for content for what we do or for things for stand up.
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:12.159
And that's still no excuse.
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:16.480
It's like, I need to shut my brain down and go to bed, but then you go down that rabbit hole.
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:18.079
Or on YouTube or whatever.
00:40:18.239 --> 00:40:20.800
You just constantly with these phones in our hands, bro.
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:26.159
It's just, but but in but in that case, that's not making me anti-social because I'm a I'm home alone.
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:27.360
But it's still problematic.
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:32.079
But my thing is for people who are minimizing our interactions with each other, right?
00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:33.280
I have a rule.
00:40:33.519 --> 00:40:38.480
When I'm around my friends and stuff, like I just prefer to be present with them.
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:48.800
I don't, I when I go to my grandmother, my mother's house to visit them, Cam Bees, I walk in the kitchen, my phones go on the kitchen table, and I go sit with my granny, sit with my mom, and I chop it up with them.
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.320
I don't look at my phone until I leave.
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:57.599
So if there's been a time where you or Nico or Kennedy, anybody who's hit me, and I maybe took three, four hours to respond, sometimes it's that.
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.960
I'm over there with them and I'm like, I'm so busy, I don't give them enough time.
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:02.320
So the least I could do.
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:04.559
That that's that's how life used to be.
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:08.800
Like if I called you and you weren't available, you just were not available.
00:41:09.039 --> 00:41:11.280
We're we're way too available right now.
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:23.360
So, like, much like you, like when I'm out at a restaurant or if I'm uh uh on a date, I put the I do put the phone down because I want to make sure that they realize, recognize I'm I'm present with them.
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.559
I look at it for time or if I'm gonna show them something or whatever.
00:41:26.719 --> 00:41:28.880
But otherwise, it's just me and you.
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:29.280
Yeah.
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.280
And and that's purposely done.
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:38.559
And it's conscientious, which at one point, just think, we didn't have that accessibility all the time.
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:43.760
So that was just it was unheard of to not be in front of somebody and not give them the attention.
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:45.119
Now it's like commonplace.
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:51.360
Like I've seen families like you just described go out to eat, and we've got five, six people at a table and nobody talking.
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.920
Like the entire, the entire night.
00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:58.400
Like we, like my family, I will I'll look up and say, hey, we'll we are never gonna be that.
00:41:58.480 --> 00:41:59.599
That's not gonna be us ever.
00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:00.400
Yeah.
00:42:00.800 --> 00:42:05.519
Because it's it's it's just take some time to just be present.
00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:12.800
Again, we can DM and send each other funny videos and stuff all day long, but if we're in a moment, you're in front of me.
00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.679
I'm seeing you, I could touch you, I could, I could be around you.
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:17.440
We don't always have those moments.
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:22.079
You know, you're not always able to spend, especially as you get older, you know, Tommy, you got kids.
00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:28.880
Your kids grow up, so you don't always have the time to spend like you used to, or they have different interests now, they want to do different things, they want to go places.
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:32.320
Um, family and friends drift apart, relationships grow, right?
00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:34.320
You don't always have time to be present.
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:39.519
So if you do have time to kick it with your friends or your family, why not do that?
00:42:39.760 --> 00:42:39.920
Right.
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:46.880
Sit here and or social media is again made you anti-social where you go to a concert and you don't watch the damn concert, you film the concert.
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:49.599
Well, you know, a lot of the artists would rather you not have.
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:53.840
I think Jill Scott caught some flack for her tour when she was like, no cell phones allowed.
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:55.679
She wants them to be all present for the yeah.
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:58.719
They used to pay all at comedy shows, Kevin Hart at Kevin shows.
00:42:58.800 --> 00:42:59.039
Yeah, yeah.
00:42:59.280 --> 00:42:59.920
Comedy shows.
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:00.960
I appreciate that.
00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:05.440
Like, I because how how many people are already like like taping it live?
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:09.199
Like I watched the whole Jay-Z, the whole Jay-Z concert.
00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:10.239
Via somebody's phone?
00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:11.519
On TikTok.
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:13.039
I was there.
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:15.360
I was in New York, I was at Yankee Stadium, nigga.
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:20.960
Because some other person was out there with their phone the whole entire time videotaping uh on live.
00:43:21.039 --> 00:43:23.039
They was live uh live streaming the shit.
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:25.760
That's why people with iPhones always dead.
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:29.440
Everybody I know with an iPhone, they percentage always low.
00:43:29.599 --> 00:43:34.079
It's again, if you go to a concert, uh a live event, whatever.
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:40.079
Okay, you go to a football game, you go to a wrestling event, you go to a wedding, anything.
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:43.280
It's cool to document where you're at and what you're doing, sure.
00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:44.480
But not the whole.
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:49.760
So yo, you're gonna have your arm, you're gonna have text neck, carpal tunnel, elbow itis.
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:50.960
You I mean.
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:52.480
Elbow itis.
00:43:53.360 --> 00:43:54.559
All kinds of shit gonna be.
00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:56.000
I mean, you're a doctor, are those terms?
00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:58.400
Hey, hey, you made it up.
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:08.320
It's just It's wild where we're so, and it's so and also too, social media makes me antisocial where people don't even know how to write a sentence.
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:10.320
Everything's abbreviated now, right?
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:17.519
So we're so used to shortening and abbreviating, you can't write a whole damn sentence no more because you're used to everything being condensed.
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.639
It's it's like an unrealistic expectation of life because it's it's and everything is quick, right?
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.400
So you don't want to wait for nothing no more.
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:26.719
Social media has made it to where I need an instant.
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:26.960
Yeah.
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:32.159
And if you don't tell me something within a short period of time, my brain is like, I can't process it.
00:44:32.239 --> 00:44:33.519
Like it has to happen right away.
00:44:33.599 --> 00:44:36.079
Or if it's not on social media, it didn't really happen.
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:42.719
I just remember calling, remember uh back in the day, calling somebody and they didn't have uh they didn't have call waiting.
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.800
Call waiting was something new where you could click over when somebody called.
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:48.400
Oh, you're talking about on the house phone era?
00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:49.199
House phone.
00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:49.920
Oh, got it.
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:52.159
There was there was a time where there was no call waiting.
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:54.159
So when you called, the line was busy.
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:56.639
Like you just didn't get through.
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:00.159
There was no voicemail, there was nothing.
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:07.920
Like actually, uh uh uh LeRoy Butler tells a story about him uh waiting for the Packers to call him on draft day.
00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:14.400
And he did that story on Nicolay Law sponsored podcast.
00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:15.760
Midwest Legends.
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:17.599

00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:35.760
Back to you, Cat Beats.
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:36.960
That was a nice live.
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:38.159
I threw that up there.
00:45:38.320 --> 00:45:47.119
But Leroy Butler tells a story about him uh waiting on draft day to get uh drafted, and his sister's on the phone, and the Packers can't get through.
00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:49.760
They've been trying to call, and the line was busy.
00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:52.159
That's that's where we come from.
00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:54.559
That's the that's the era I come from.
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:56.960
You missed the call, you just missed the call.
00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:57.679
That was it.
00:45:57.840 --> 00:45:58.960
And life went on.
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:03.280
Like now life ends if you don't have your phone with you, which is wild.
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:17.039
And and and the other thing too is like the dependency on it and the need to be in the loop.
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:19.920
It's a 24-7 cycle.
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:24.960
Like television, radio, other things, there's breaks from it, right?
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:29.440
There's no break from social media unless you make yourself take a break.
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:33.119
So I do these little sabbaticals, especially when I was on radio.
00:46:33.360 --> 00:46:38.079
I wouldn't even go on the internet on a Friday or Saturday if I didn't have to.
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:42.159
Until that Sunday night when I had to get ready to prep for the next day, work day.
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:44.159
I would try to take breaks right now.
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:53.840
While we even doing this podcast, I'm gonna post clips, I'm gonna do what I gotta do, but then I try to take a day where, like on a Sunday, I don't even open not a Nan app.
00:46:54.159 --> 00:47:00.559
To just give myself a moment to be like, I don't care what's going on, what's trending, what's what's viral, what's whatever.
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:03.760
I just give myself a moment to be like, let me remove.
00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:08.400
Because if not, I feel like I'll be stuck in a time war because we are content creators as well.
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:10.480
We know we need people to watch us, listen to us.
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:12.320
We need to get the numbers, the views, the attention.
00:47:12.480 --> 00:47:13.280
I get all that.
00:47:13.440 --> 00:47:20.800
But still, even though I am a creator and I want you to watch me and listen to this podcast, go somewhere and sit the fuck down.
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:26.800
Go somewhere and remove yourself for a moment, a day, a few hours, anything.
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:31.039
Just take a break because I feel like social media is consuming us.
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:34.800
Our cell phones are consuming us, and it's unrealistic.
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:43.440
You don't have a real um sense of like people or how to you know maneuver and interact because you're living through a screen.
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:44.159
Right.
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:48.960
All these tough guys and keyboard warriors, you know what I'm saying?
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:50.480
You living through a screen.
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:56.320
You you so gangster and hardcore on a phone and wouldn't bust a grape in a group uh in a fruit fight.
00:47:56.400 --> 00:48:00.880
You don't know how to even interact with people, or you or you overly sensitive because of characters, right?
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:01.119
Right.
00:48:01.280 --> 00:48:02.880
You are constantly arguing.
00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:12.800
I seen some people arguing the other day in the comments, and I'm just like, I wish I would be arguing in the comment section on social media with people.
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:15.679
That's where we at as society.
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:16.480
Yeah.
00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:17.199
Yeah.
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:22.239
We don't we we'll rather post our thoughts and feelings online instead of telling people we love.
00:48:22.719 --> 00:48:29.599
I'm gonna vent on Instagram, I'm gonna vent on Facebook, I'm gonna put something on threads, but I ain't tell you can't beats.
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:35.519
So you have no idea I'm I'm subbing you or I'm mad at you, but I done went to the internet instead of coming to the person I got a problem with.
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:38.480
Well, how about the whole purpose of the phone itself?
00:48:38.960 --> 00:48:40.559
To call somebody.
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:41.199
Call?
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:42.320
What the fuck is that?
00:48:42.480 --> 00:48:44.000
You just text you.
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.920
I mean, you're gonna text, people would rather text and make the phone call.
00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:56.239
Bro, listen, they would rather, instead of a therapist, Jesus, they mama, they're gonna go vent on the internet.
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:02.559
Social media has created a free-for-all to where I don't even have no filter.
00:49:02.719 --> 00:49:05.039
I'm just gonna go online, I'm just gonna post this.
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.519
And then later on, I'll be like, ooh, I shouldn't have posted that.
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:11.760
And the other thing about this is, and I'm gonna end it with this.
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:23.599
Those things, those moments or feelings you have and you post it of an impulse, you can delete it, remove it, but with the internet, it stays.
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:27.840
Somebody screenshot it, somebody is capturing it, right?
00:49:28.000 --> 00:49:29.440
And it's it's staying.
00:49:29.599 --> 00:49:36.159
So think before you post, think before you hop online, like everything is not to be posted on social media.
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:41.039
Some things you should enjoy in the privacy of your own comfort with your family, your friends, or whomever.
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:44.639
Sometimes these thoughts and impulsive feelings don't need to be published.
00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:48.159
It might be a conversation off the record, even with this podcast.
00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:51.360
Everything I think and feel is not gonna come on this show.
00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:55.199
Everything we think and feel is not gonna be a conversation that we need to publicize.
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:58.000
Some stuff should actually just be where it's at.
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:01.440
I think we are too informed in this era.
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:03.440
Everything is like we need to share.
00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:05.039
We need to overshare everything.
00:50:05.280 --> 00:50:13.280
Just ask uh local politicians about how the past can come back and haunt you with social media posts.
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.519
It's wild what they'll dig up.
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:16.320
Bro.
00:50:16.719 --> 00:50:17.599
It's wild.
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:20.480
It's it's a wild, wild world we in, man.
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:25.440
