Christmas Intro Song by Nico
You look like Eminem over there. Dog, I'm not going to hold you. Tell me he don't look like Eminem, bro, I'll hate my own.
Speaker 2:Better go brazy.
Speaker 1:I think I spit something on the mic.
Speaker 2:Your girl want Eminem. I gave her Eminem, eminem and Eminem.
Speaker 1:Whoa, whoa, whoa Y'all. It's getting hot in here. Chat hold on.
Speaker 3:All right. So y'all want to look, look, wait, chris, what?
Speaker 4:No, I was thinking which one? I'm three.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Why.
Speaker 3:Red is number one.
Speaker 1:You got the wide lens on. Huh, no, hmm.
Speaker 2:Simple. Did they give you the wide lens? Yeah, oh, okay, just making sure they didn't try to jip you.
Speaker 3:The hell I got it from Timu on that.
Speaker 1:You fuck with this one more than the GoPro yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like I didn't know. Does your GoPro have the screen too, or no? Yeah, it does.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I didn't mind the GoPro. It was small, it was convenient, it fucking worked. Push 4K Just like this one. It has the same resolution, same performance. The only thing that I would say that the GoPro's battery would drain even if it was off. Whoa, yeah. Which GoPro did you have?
Speaker 2:The.
Speaker 3:Hero 11?.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know what they're on right now.
Speaker 1:I think I got the Hero 8.
Speaker 2:Well, I think that's why they have a lot of bundles that come with like extra battery packs.
Speaker 3:Did you get the creator pack with that one? Yes, I got the creator pack with that one and it sounds convenient. And then I bought hella different accessories so I have one that has like a magnetic holder. Um, this one right here. So this one, you just you put, you put your dji and then you put any surface that's metal in a fucking stick on there.
Speaker 2:I just have car ones, I just have ones that mount to the car.
Speaker 1:Hey, but to be completely honest with you, the reel I don't know if you knew this, but one of the reels that I made it was the last roller shot that I took of the car before I sold it. We used his camera and we mounted it. Did we mount it on the back? Of held that he held it out the window, but we were trying to figure out I was out the window like this, but it was super stable, even though he was holding it like you can't even tell that it it wasn't mounted.
Speaker 2:That's why I wanted that one because it has that that feature gimbal yeah yeah, so everything's stable, no matter how you film it.
Speaker 3:Yeah I like the the feature of it like you can lock it. You can have it lock on to your face, yeah, and it just tracks you.
Speaker 4:I like how you can flip the camera too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because trying to hold it and then you can't see the screen on another camera.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you just and the camera flip. Yeah, that's tough, yeah, and the GoPro was like it had to just be like. Oh, let me pull it out real quick.
Speaker 4:Snap.
Speaker 3:Just All right, right, this one. Obviously it takes a minute for it to boot up for a bit. Right, then you can hit record because obviously it has to power itself on Right, right, right.
Speaker 1:But the camera quality with this one is insane, and I mean, once you learn the controls and pretty much how everything works, it's just like natural.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah I'm starting to get used to it. Like uh, today earlier, me and kat we went to get ice cream because I was really fucking craving ice cream dog. Real, it'd be like that it'd really be like that and we're, we're out there, in in clovis, and then I was like fuck, there's hella people like I don't feel comfortable to be, like you know, whipping it out. And then Cassidy was just like ain't nobody fucking paying attention to you, like you're the big dude with the little camera.
Speaker 2:I ain't no one gonna be like what the fuck and, honestly, a lot of people don't say nothing. Cause I took it out to LA and was filming in the LA mall. I think two people came up to me like oh, what are you doing? They're like oh, we're just filming our trip. Yada, yada. They won't really trip. If anything, they'll ask questions if you already have something established which you do, like oh, I'm filming for this, check it out.
Speaker 1:And that's the attention you kind of want. It's just having that person come up to you for the first time or the first few interactions. That's what really gets you nervous. I haven't had that yet, but I mean I'll see people like watching me as I'm filming something and I'm hitting that camera angle and I'm like he's hitting that stand and they'd just be staring at me and I'm just like, listen, bro, I got to get them angles in.
Speaker 1:But I mean, for the most part, I'm really glad that you got that DJI, bro, because from using his and interacting with it and vlogging with it, that was something I felt like was going to be perfect for you man yeah, no for sure.
Speaker 3:And like just editing and then finally knowing what to do when I'm when I'm editing videos. It just made it so much more easier and and no one knew that the first fucking edit that I did it took me like four or five hours. Yeah, but no one's gonna ever know that until, obviously, when I talk about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:But now I do it. Now I'll fucking make a whole vlog in like 30 minutes, because I already know what the fuck I'm doing. And that's the one thing. That's the beauty of it is once you start, if you're really passionate about doing something, you're just going to fucking learn as you go.
Speaker 3:And just like the podcast, like I didn't know what the fuck I was doing in the beginning and eventually you learn from your mistakes. You learn from all the trials and errors. It's a whole process and it's the beauty behind it. Sometimes it's frustrating, sometimes it gets annoying, but it's, it's the beauty behind behind not giving up and fucking keep, keep going.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, bro. I remember my first few times making reels, bro, I was so nervous, like bro did I make some good. There's times I'll still ask him like hey, bro, is this fire? Before I post it, because I'm not gonna lie down myself a lot, but it's good to get constructive criticism from others rather than just thinking to yourself like, oh, I know, this is fire and being confident, overly confident, in what you're producing. But for the most part, bro, I mean I used to take 30 minutes, sometimes a whole hour, to edit. Yeah, the video is only 13 seconds long. So I got to a point where I was like you know what? Nah, this is like. I know what I'm doing. I've made 20, 30, 40 reels already. And get on cap, cut, chop something up real quick, throw a song over. It comes out beautifully. Now I can make a reel in like 10 minutes yeah, and your.
Speaker 3:Your reels are authentic and they're not templates. I use templates. I don't give a fuck, I fucking cheat.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna lie to you. I did use a cap cut template earlier today, but you see how convenient I'm not gonna lie to you, bro um.
Speaker 2:He was like marvin me on After.
Speaker 1:I looked at them templates I said you know what, bro, I might just drop this, but it's too noticeable for me. Now, right, yeah, if I've been making authentic videos for so long and then I started dropping edits, like the video that I did when we went to the trip to Santa Cruz.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was a template.
Speaker 2:Not going to lie, you could tell lie, you could tell yeah, yeah, 100.
Speaker 3:I'm not editing that, what do?
Speaker 2:I look like I ain't gonna lie. I didn't see, I didn't notice it. I genuinely noticed it because of the effects in the transitions I thought it was the opposite.
Speaker 3:I thought dj really, like you know, he crafted it.
Speaker 1:I locked it. My boy done fucking. He made it realistically. It's not hard to create. I just don't have the tools to do it. I don't have a computer, I don't have a laptop to be able to stretch the image like that at the grainy effect. I definitely don't have cap cup premium. I'm not paying for that shit. Um, but I will say that edit came out super clean and I said, bro, this is it's kind of hard bro, let me, let me see like a music video.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and um, earlier today I went over to my homie's uh job. He works across the street from me and I filmed his car car and I was like, let me look at these CapCut templates real quick before I drop some basic shit. And I did cook up a little something, but I'm not going to post it because, again, I've already started out a baseline and a foundation of natural edits. Yeah, if I go to and start doing some extreme shit, which I've done before with other templates, it doesn't blow up as much because my audience is used to having clean cut videos and simple stuff with a good vibe to it. The the edits are cool, but I feel like I'm gonna leave that for like youtube or something else that I can do. Maybe tiktok I'll use it for yeah, not instagram tiktok's hard to hit the algorithm.
Speaker 3:I barely understood it, and even if a lot of my stuff is about just self-love, self-healing, and then now I just posted clips with Jay Verde's last episode just because I finally learned how to do it, but the traffic of TikTok and how it works is completely different from the traffic in Instagram.
Speaker 1:And do you feel like ever since the TikTok ban that it's changed a lot Like the algorithm is not the same?
Speaker 3:Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1:Like I've noticed beforehand, like when I was really mainstreaming into my content creation, it was a lot easier for me to get outreach. I was able to get a thousand, two thousand views quick. Yeah, brother, my last video I dropped was that monday. I dropped that video of us at the beach. I think it was monday. Yeah, brother, I'm only at 500 views. It's already friday, and the last video I dropped before that same thing. So I'm like am I not posting enough? Is it because I'm inconsistent?
Speaker 3:See, and I always have that misconception because I think the traffic of the internet is different you just got to find where you fit in.
Speaker 4:Right, right.
Speaker 3:So some people will spam posts back to. Back back to back.
Speaker 2:What I realize is TikTok is to hit the algorithm on TikTok. People spam posts Instagram. If you spam, then it won't pop off.
Speaker 1:That's the one thing I was thinking about. I was like you know what. It's kind of crazy because when I was spamming I was getting a lot when I was posting twice a day maybe I'll do one every single day of the week. I was really popping like that, but I'm just like. It's again the balance of learning algorithms between Instagram, tiktok. I haven't learned YouTube yet, wondering what that's going to be like, but I think YouTube doesn't really have much of an algorithm.
Speaker 3:It's more user-based. I think it's YouTube Shorts. I get a lot of the.
Speaker 2:Shorts, yeah.
Speaker 3:Because I don't know, well, really, I'm not on YouTube Shorts.
Speaker 2:I'm barely on it but as a consumer and a lot of like, I'll get videos that have like 10 views and I'm like what the fuck, but it's stuff that's related to what you fucking say. No, I think it's just random. It's like a high school football game.
Speaker 3:I did a short for a vlog that me and Cat did and I created it and I just put it on there just to see, because then I also saw the edit of it and I was like, cool, I can use that, download it, save it and then post it onto my other social media platforms. Right, it's restricted on Instagram. I can't post it as a story, but I can post it as a regular post what did they tell you?
Speaker 2:why YouTube?
Speaker 3:blocks it.
Speaker 2:YouTube Instagram.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or your Instagram blocks it, so you can't put put it on your story, but you can put it as a post, or you and you can't put it as a real either. Bro, what's fun? Yeah, that's what I found it kind of kind of weird, um, yeah but. I wonder it's just because they hate youtube and instagram? Just don't right.
Speaker 1:I mean, maybe it has something to do with, um no, because you can't really. Can you monetize off your story? I don't know.
Speaker 3:On.
Speaker 1:Instagram. Yes, yeah you can Maybe that's what it is, yeah, but you can monetize.
Speaker 3:But I'm not that big bro.
Speaker 1:But I mean in regards to like double monetization, right, Because imagine you're making money off of YouTube and then Instagram but be separate. There's people that are triple, They'll go on Instagram.
Speaker 2:TikTok. They'll go on YouTube and then they're live streaming. They'll live stream, post a live stream on YouTube and then post the clips on Instagram. I got a bigger question.
Speaker 1:Does Facebook monetize?
Speaker 3:Facebook gives a lot of money. Facebook has partnered up with Instagram.
Speaker 1:Instagram now right Meta. That's crazy.
Speaker 2:I think streaming does the most. It gives you the most money. Then it goes Because streaming.
Speaker 3:You can get a lot of donations. You can get prizes.
Speaker 2:So it goes streaming. I think it goes Twitter next. Twitter pays a lot of money.
Speaker 3:See and I think I would say Snapchat is on top of that, but I'm not on. Snapchat.
Speaker 1:Me either. Who is on Snapchat? I don't know, I don't know. Okay, I was like oh me.
Speaker 3:The sideline was crazy. She said, oh no, offense no, offense no. But a lot of social influencers will say, like no, Snapchat is what pays.
Speaker 1:But do you think? A lot of it can. Nah, I was going to say bots, but no, nah, they're real people.
Speaker 3:It's all the social influences that you can see.
Speaker 2:It's like a vlog, just Multiple.
Speaker 1:I can't do that chat. I can't do that. I mean I'll go on Snapchat and text like one or two people.
Speaker 2:I don't even have that shit downloaded on my phone.
Speaker 1:I feel like when you get well in our generation. We grew up with snapchat being created and then using it and for all its Purposes. Yeah, now it's like a breath. It's like it's like us using Facebook. We use Facebook earlier, in the earlier days, when it first started. If I catch one of my homies still using Facebook till this day, like on a daily base- I'm not a lot of people on Facebook.
Speaker 2:I'm like Like on a daily basis.
Speaker 1:I know a lot of people that are on Facebook and I'm like. Why Like on a daily basis, posting and sharing? I was like are you like posting?
Speaker 2:Are you doing stuff on there Like, yeah, like I don't even have that motherfucker from Marketplace, I don't even have a profile to be real, like my name is not even on there.
Speaker 3:Dj had Jason Marked.
Speaker 1:Someone gonna get.
Speaker 3:A message from him. I did not know that was your name.
Speaker 4:Yes, I did not know Gun. To my head, I didn't know, your first name was Jason. No, bro, hey, it's not right, dude. Wait, I'm dyslexic. Your name's DJ.
Speaker 1:Not JD, and that's Also I know your first name. Yeah, no, my-.
Speaker 4:God cut that out.
Speaker 1:I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 4:Hey, cut that shit. I made Jason board my name because I had to make a fake account.
Speaker 1:I didn't want to be linked up to nobody on my Facebook.
Speaker 4:I feel like a dumbass.
Speaker 1:You're good, you're good. I'm like, I'm dyslexic. Oh DJ gonna message somebody.
Speaker 2:He's gonna say Jason Bourne. Oh my god, it's Jason Bourne, it's him it's him guys.
Speaker 1:I be selling on Marketplace, though I done sold cars off of there and people don't question my name or nothing like.
Speaker 2:I be like that boy's a scammer.
Speaker 3:They pull up, they probably think you are scamming.
Speaker 1:Let's see, do it for the plot. Imagine you going to buy. Buy a BMW off me.
Speaker 3:And my name is.
Speaker 1:Jason Bourne.
Speaker 3:No, like we can't steal this guy's car Bro that don't even look right.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying.
Speaker 2:Has somebody walked up to me like oh Jason, right, no.
Speaker 1:That shit would be too funny. I don't got no pictures, no profile, no nothing, just strictly marketplace, that's it.
Speaker 3:Well, before we go ahead and continue I know we jumped into it let's go ahead and let up to the sky. No way you catching us. Goodbye, we, the guy. We make it out alive. You were tripping around, the lights were up.
Speaker 2:No, I was looking at that. He was like leaning back a little bit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, just, I always continue knocking this shit over. And then yesterday I had my cousins and my cousin and my sister and they were both like messing with all this shit and I was just like quit messing with shit. And they fucking knocked over the side and they were like it's not broke boys, it's broke girls. And I was like okay um, what were we just talking about? Talking?
Speaker 2:about social media. We all took that shot.
Speaker 3:We were all talking about social media. We were passing the buzz ball. What about the intros?
Speaker 4:you didn't run your intro. We all took that shot and just forgot yeah, we were all talking about social media. We were passing the buzz ball. What about the intros? Who are?
Speaker 3:you with no one. You didn't run your intro. Ooh Ooh, we just some strangers in your career. Yeah, I'm walking out, bro. All right, I'm going to head out. Cut the cap. No, welcome back to another episode of the Broke Boys. I'm Moran and today I got a special guest my boy DJ and my boy Isaac. I know we jumped into it, we were just in the mix of the whole conversation, but sometimes this is how we get carried away sometimes, yeah. So this is the beauty of it, and I know you guys wanted to dive a little bit deeper, and so we're going to play the substance. If you guys aren't familiar with substance, it's another deep conversation. You know, just to open up your mind, be open-minded, open-hearted. Sometimes it's deep cutting. Sometimes it could be about heartbreak, betrayal, trauma, literally anything. So, yeah, I'm ready for it.
Speaker 1:All right guys so the first question says what do you think your biggest weakness is? I think my biggest weakness would have to be I mean, this is hard. I got a few of them. I'm very intuitive, I look inwards on a lot of my problems and I know what my pros are. I know what my cons are. I feel like between being too forgiving and being financially irresponsible, those got to be the top two, because the way I be spending my check needs to be studied.
Speaker 2:Chet, I do feel like he needs a whole research literally talking about that shit earlier we did.
Speaker 1:We did. Um, but yeah, I would have to say those two, I I'm just super forgiving, like people will disrespect me, like right in front of my face, and I'm just like, all right, I'm not gonna act out, I'm to crash out. What's the point of that? Like, at that point you're winning because you got a reaction out of it and that's what you wanted. I'm not going to react to it immediately, but you're going to see after a while why you shouldn't have did that. Yeah, that's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 2:Hey, karma's a mass coming up. You don't know why. What about?
Speaker 1:you what's your weakness? Say yeah like managing money. Oh, we know hey managing money.
Speaker 2:I'd say procrastination, like I wait off on doing shit a lot. Okay, that shit fucks me up. And then just I wouldn't say laziness because I still do it, but like I have to fight myself to go do whatever I gotta do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'll take those all right, I see it. I think for me recently from what I've noticed is lack of confidence really I would say that I would say just because, like I, what?
Speaker 1:kind of confidence, because there's different, there's different confidence well confidence in yourself, confidence, confidence in doing something new.
Speaker 3:I would say it's all of the above.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 3:Because I always talk down about myself. I'm like I don't know, I'm not doing anything good, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. I think I still need more improvement, right, right. And then there's things like with the podcast. I'm just like dog, I don't understand, like how am I not growing more? Like I just feel like I'm at another blockage. But then I look at the numbers and then Kat tells me too. She's just like dude, look at where you're at, look at where you used to be. And it's just like, oh, you're right. But I just lack that self-confidence.
Speaker 1:I think it's just the fact that you know you could improve, or that you know you have potential to do more.
Speaker 3:That's what I was going to say.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's the truth. You know, I feel like that's with a lot of different things, right, like I look at all the things I've done in my past, even with my current place that I work I love where I work at he's lying, I'm lying, but at the same time time I just feel like I could be doing so much more, and that's how I feel like that's how everyone feels, like you know your limit and you know you're not at your limit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and as a grown adult, that's just something we all feel. We want to reach the stars. That's something as, as a kid, growing up, you wanted to be something big. That's what we all, you know, strive to be. So, um, I definitely felt that. I definitely felt that. I think that would be one of my biggest weaknesses as well.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it like anchors you down in a little bit, because it's just like you're talking not negatively to yourself. But there's some people that do feel like they they speak negatively to themselves. Oh, you're a fucking dumbass, you're not doing anything right, which I don't do. I've always said like hey, try to be kinder to yourself. So then be you know, uplifting to yourself.
Speaker 2:Bring that good energy yeah.
Speaker 3:Because if not, you're just fucking making your mind believe it.
Speaker 1:That's how you fall into depression, but that's also like Sometimes, Sometimes you stay in that pit dog.
Speaker 3:But that's also like Sometimes you stay in that pit dog, yeah.
Speaker 2:It's called the abyss, as my boy, juice WRLD, once called it. I'm still in it.
Speaker 1:I think that's also manifesting it too right, because people always say what you Be cool, be cool Yo.
Speaker 2:I thought you were just fixing the wires.
Speaker 1:I think it's also a form of manifestation, because, if you think about it, people always say if you think negative, you're going to be in a negative situation. If you think positive, you're going to be in a positive situation. Repetitiveness of the same positive mindset is going to lead you places.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And it may sound corny, I mean, it may sound far-fetched, but it's true, do it. And it may sound corny, I mean it may sound far-fetched, but it's true, bro, it is true, Do it, try it. Just wake up in the morning, take that breather, think to yourself like God is great. I'm glad I woke up today, absolutely, and I'm glad to be here. I'm ready to get what I need done out the way.
Speaker 2:I said that we're rising. They're like oh, how's your day? I was like well, I'm alive, like that's a blessing every day that I wake up and because a lot of people don't have that no more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and something just like that, something as simple as that, bro can do it all, because if you got that power, that positive outlook on life, and you're grateful to be able to even just wake up. Some people out here is just like ready to just call it quits. Bro, we, we, we got to count our blessings.
Speaker 3:We got to continue to look forward, yeah look at the small wins and cats told me before like hey, you manifest a lot and you and your shit fucking comes true. She was like manifest a million dollars please I try, please. I try all the time that's real, that's so real man but it is true, having that mindset, being positive the whole time and and seeing the good in between the bad, what is it that fucking Sid the Sloth said?
Speaker 2:They do this every year.
Speaker 3:What is it that he says? Bad news is good news in disguise.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, it is like that?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it says why do you think people seek validation from others?
Speaker 2:that's a good one I think there's a lot of different ways that you could go, like trying to prove yourself. That's one. I feel like that's the biggest one. Yeah, like people trying to prove themselves to other people.
Speaker 3:Right. I think there was at one point in my life that I was like that, where I was seeking. I feel like at some point everybody was like that yeah, Because you're trying to.
Speaker 2:It's either to your older brother or your friend or a family member.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because then it's just like okay, like you want to say X, y and Z about me, okay, let me. Okay, let me fucking prove you wrong. Right, like that's I've always had. I think I've always had that mindset too, like, uh, I'll always try to outwork the next person or or regardless of what it is like, not, like you're not gonna. That mindset, that mentality that I've always been, is like no, you're not gonna beat me, I'm gonna prove everybody wrong. You can talk down about me, you can say shit about me, but all right, I'll prove you wrong.
Speaker 1:I use that as fuel oh, yeah, you have to, of course. Yeah, I think it. I think it kind of stems from like a childhood type deal, kind of like what you were saying, like whether it was an older brother or like a cousin or somebody. Like, growing up, you're in competition, you don't really know it, whether you recognize it or not don't really matter, but you're trying to compete with. Compete with someone who talked down on you when you were younger and you're like no, I'm going to prove it to them, I'm going to outwork you.
Speaker 1:And I think for me it had to be something like proving my own father wrong, or people that people that told me when I was younger like, oh, you're going to be something great. Like, oh, you're going to do great things. Like you're so, you're smart. Like you've got a good head on your shoulders. Like those things stick to you. And you, even though that was so far in the past, so many years ago, you use that to fuel yourself to keep going. It's like dude, I can't let these people down. Like they might. They might not even be watching or paying attention or even care about that, no more. But at the end of the day, to me, I feel like that's what I have to prove. I got to prove that part right. So I think that childhood is really it. I think that's what fuels it and just other hatred from outside. People just telling y'all bro, you don't even know that good at it. And that's one thing I'll say about this fool.
Speaker 3:If there's one thing I'll say about this fool.
Speaker 4:If there's one thing I know, and he gives off like big brother damn.
Speaker 1:He gives off big brother energy bro, because he'll be like bro. You're not even all that. Whether it's on call duty, whether we're playing car acts and we're drifting, we're playing football like he'll be like bro. You're not even all that. Whether it's on call duty, whether we're playing car acts, when we drift in, we're playing football like he'll talk shit. But I know he's doing that because he's just like bro, like I know you're better than that.
Speaker 2:Like, come on bro you know, you know I do he goes bro. Why you like that?
Speaker 3:I was like there's got to be somebody might as well be me, literally, literally, at the bottom of the fucking league where you step the fuck up, lock the fuck in. Oh my, God.
Speaker 2:Because me and him will go back and forth. It'll be a game or something, and he'll be on top and then I'll be on top. I'll be like, and you thought you was all that, who's on top now?
Speaker 1:And I'm just sitting here like all right, bro Watch the bro watch next game and he's on bottom like damn, oh and six, what you doing down there? He's like bro, be cool like it's. We just feel each other like that, bro, we, we got to keep building ourselves. I think that's also something that um I'm not trying to be sexist when I say this, but I think this is a really male oriented thing is the competitiveness, but it's like friendly competitiveness right, it's like the pushy.
Speaker 3:There's like iron, sharpening iron exactly it's like I know you can do better, but I'm gonna push you in a way that I know is gonna push, and I've always done that to you yeah yeah literally always bro, always so you're saying that men are more like realistic to their boys, a bit like a dog like tell them the truth rather than women, like sugarcoating it basically well I felt damn um, okay, that is true.
Speaker 1:That is true in certain instances no, because girls are.
Speaker 2:I've been around girls and they're definitely like that, like they'll beat around it yeah, what do you think?
Speaker 3:oh see, I'm muted, oh, I don't think you're wrong.
Speaker 4:I think that girl, I think it's the, the way that you say it, that's so different.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 4:I feel like guys are very direct and they're like, hey, you're fucking up.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And girls are like Well, what do you think? Like we're trying to get them.
Speaker 3:We're trying to get, we're trying to get you.
Speaker 4:To get to your conclusion.
Speaker 2:We're like Well, what do you think, how do you feel they? We try to funnel them in.
Speaker 4:It's that phrase, though it's the phrase, yeah, I think it's the way you say it, Not so much that we're not saying it. I think it'll take us a little bit longer, but I think we're also like well, what do you think about it?
Speaker 1:And then we try to funnel them in like you were saying to what we want them to think.
Speaker 2:See, they're master manipulators bro, I knew it.
Speaker 1:It's. I'm asking you what do you think?
Speaker 4:But then you got to be careful, because if it's like your girl and you say something wrong, then she's going to feel some type of way and then that's a whole nother issue.
Speaker 1:But that's why I feel like it's such a common thing and like our arguments between males and females when they're in a relationship is men are too direct and that ends up hurting the woman's feelings, oh God. But there's often times where women do need to hear it. Or there's often times where it's just like I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear.
Speaker 2:I want to tell you what you need to hear. And DJ knows from our friend group, I'm that person.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not going to hold you. He's definitely said some shit that I would have never said, but it needed to be said. And that's just because he's super blunt, he's just like listen.
Speaker 2:And they're my friends. I'm going to care about them.
Speaker 3:They're my friends and that's something that's real as fuck If somebody's going to keep it real with you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're not going to have to worry about it. And DJ tried it one time. He got in trouble. No, because I'm the kind of person where I'm gonna don't cry, relax, it's okay, we're here for you. I hate it here. Chat. I hate it here.
Speaker 4:DJ knows no peace around here. Dude, I get no peace.
Speaker 1:It's shots all around. It wasn't me this time at least. Yeah, real shots. Oh damn, I heard shots did I hear that correct? Fuck, I'm gonna finish my sentence real quick, or finish what I was saying, cause it ain't one sentence Anyways. So he's ducking, alright, damn, anyways, clocked my shit.
Speaker 3:See, y'all already made me forget what I was talking about. God damn it. You were talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see, I'm blind and you're not blunt, okay, so.
Speaker 3:And that was one time that.
Speaker 1:Basically, like I'm the kind of person I'll tell you something and I'll be like listen, like sometimes you got to view it from the other person's perspective, or sometimes you just kind of got to go a different route. You got to get yourself out of the situation. Yeah, you got to go. It's not good for you it's not as you yeah if it was somebody else, what would you do?
Speaker 1:right? And you know, homegirl wasn't really listening. Yada, yada, yada. I got upset because I'm just like, okay, I'm wasting time and energy at this point because we've said it we've said it multiple times.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I understand what dj was coming from, because it was a conversation multiple times like in comparison and to summarize what I'm getting at, julian's the kind of person.
Speaker 1:Isaac's the kind of person sorry, you, look at him, I'll get up right now, you won't. Isaac's the kind of person where he's straight to the point. If he hears some fucks, he's nah, bro, get the fuck out of here with that shit. I'm not trying to hear that and he'll tell you straight up, like bro, you're being stupid right now and I that was my exact words, that's exactly what I told you. I'm the kind of person I want to. I'm. I'm gonna tell you like, uh, I mean me personally. I don't really think it's a good idea, but like, it's up to you, it's your life, and if you end up doing it and I tell you it's not a good idea and that you fall, I'm gonna be like all right, what learn? And after that then we learn to stop being stupid. I'm more of a person like I want you to go through these life lessons, because you don't really learn until you go through the situation Homegirl didn't learn.
Speaker 2:Right. So that's how DJ would say it. Right, that's how I would say it. Yeah, no, you're fucking stupid. Yeah, exactly, but you'll figure it out, you're gonna, you're gonna see watch and then don't come to me after. That's exactly.
Speaker 1:Those are his exact words I'm so sorry, but those are his exact fucking words at least. And after the situation happened, bro, I just I told her straight up. I was like listen, bro, like just understand, if you decide to do this dumb shit again, like the friendship is not going to be the same. I know that sounds crazy to say, but but it was true. At this point I'm not going to continue wasting my time and energy trying to help you out when you keep going back doing the same dumb shit. I'm not going to support dumb shit. I'll let you learn the mistake one time, but after that it's like listen, you got to learn at some point.
Speaker 2:We grown adults, you gotta move forward my favorite saying you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make a drink.
Speaker 3:Cat says that all the time too exactly, it's real, that's real so let me take this shot oh, we're not gonna let you forget regardless.
Speaker 2:I saw you put it down, shot hell.
Speaker 4:All right, I'll ask the next one. While he's doing his shot, it says what is your biggest fear? It's the next one.
Speaker 2:Death Failure.
Speaker 4:Real.
Speaker 2:I've had panic attacks over death when I was younger.
Speaker 3:Fuck that, never mind, I won't say that I was going to say something about archive death. Ooh, send that back. He's a Return it Return. Return to sender.
Speaker 1:I think I would have to say my biggest fear would probably have to be death. If it's not death, it's losing my mother or anybody close to me. At that point I don't handle death very well. It's something that I've comprehended over the years, differently than most people, and that's one thing about all of us as humans is that we all perceive life and death differently, which I think is amazing. But I take it a lot harsher than most and I feel like if I was to lose anybody that, like Isaac, I genuinely just wouldn't know what the fuck I would do. Like I bottom up a lot of my emotions because it's just too much to process, a lot to think about, and I just feel like, if that was the case, bro, I just would lose myself.
Speaker 1:But death has always been my biggest fear. That's why I got the ace of spades tatted on me, because I was just like they say, keep your friends close but your enemies closer, and the number one enemy I have as a human is death. So I was just like you know what what's closer than getting that shit tatted on you, bro, have as a human is death. So I was just like you know what was closer than getting that tattered on you, bro. It's the mark of death at that point so okay the exact, the exact same shit bro.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the fear of failing in in anything like I feel like that's also like my biggest motivator, right, is knowing that is that double-edged sword. Yeah, um, but I know this is how I can't. I sit here and I'm fucking gonna do everything I can. I'm gonna figure things out, make ends meet. If I have to work two jobs and then do my podcast on the side, I'm gonna do it. Um, that's just because I have such a fear of failing. I can't fail my relationship. I can't fail my family, like I can't fail my family. Like if I don't, if I'm not succeeding or winning or trying to set up for the future, then I'm letting everyone down. Right, right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 4:The next one says what do you think happens after death?
Speaker 3:The way that I picture it and the way that it's, I believe that it's interpreted in the Bible as well. Please do not come after me. And the way that it's, I believe that it's interpreted in the Bible as well. Please do not come after me, Is that?
Speaker 3:you're waiting for transportation from leaving this earth to purgatory and eventually you get chosen to either go to heaven or you go downstairs. So I always reflect on this episode. I don't know if you guys are familiar with the TV show called Supernatural. There's this episode on there where one of the main guys is with death and death has a scale and the scale is how much are you worth to go to either heaven or hell? And depending on the scale, that's where you're gonna end up going right and um, and you see these people, these poor souls that are waiting transportation to meet death for their, their moment, and then after that they get chosen to either go upstairs or downstairs. So that's just what I believe it is like in the afterlife, and hopefully, in either way you find peace, you know right, and in whatever it is, but purgatory is definitely for the lost souls, right is he going to answer first?
Speaker 2:what I was taught and grew up with is it's just where your heart's at like. If you're a bad person, you're doing bad shit, you're going downstairs. If you're a good person, you do good things. You help others. When you can, you go upstairs. My hope is oh, obviously, everyone wants to go upstairs, but I don't know what happens after death. I just hope there's something after death.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel the same way. I mean, I grew up with the same belief and understanding of it. I've learned throughout the years like different types of theories, like some people saying, like you're already living downstairs this existence, is you being downstairs and after that it's just peace, it's nothing. Yeah, and again, a lot of the theories, different beliefs and understandings and stuff. So me personally, I'm not too sure. Um, I just kind of feel like certain times I think it's just eternal rest, I just think it's darkness. Other Other times I think like, yeah, there is a heaven, you know, you get to visit your family and people that you, you know, lost years ago or whatever, and you just get to be at peace with all those that you love and you know?
Speaker 3:Yeah, no for sure. Hopefully they have ice cream on the other side too, man if they don't got an Ampersons up there. Ice cream please.
Speaker 1:I'm sending this, I don't care which one. He said Lord, if you hear me.
Speaker 3:Please, please. I don't know If I don't wake up on the other side and I ain't got no ice cream cone. Okay, bro.
Speaker 2:Where are you going with?
Speaker 3:that you got it, big bro. I'm rolling back around.
Speaker 4:Next one says what is something someone has said that will stay with you forever, good or bad?
Speaker 3:Maybe both DJ you want to go first.
Speaker 1:There's just so much, bro. The biggest one In my head right now is the easiest part is getting it. The hard part is keeping it, maintaining it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, being able to like it's like a job. Right. You can kill the interview if you know how to talk to people. If you got all the qualifications, it's easy to get in. But maintaining it through those hard days, maintaining it when you want to give up, when you're literally pushed past your limits, and you're still able to maintain, that's everything and that goes for anything in this world. I would say that would be the the one that stuck to me the most is it any second?
Speaker 3:he's taking to think I'm processing uh, I got two, so one's a bad one and then one's obviously a good one. The bad one that I think will always stick with me and this is for the rest of my fucking life, because, again, I operate from a really dark place. Um, I'll never forget the words you're worthless, worthless. That will always stick. And then the good thing about the other thing that I'm going to say is I can do it, I will do it, I must do it.
Speaker 2:So those are the things that I think will always stick and be ingrained in my head. I feel like the most influential thing I've heard. I forgot who told me, but I've definitely heard someone's definitely told it to me one-on-one.
Speaker 1:It was make the most of any opportunity you're given.
Speaker 3:I got that out of a fortune cookie one time For real, yeah, somebody told me that and then he broke it down to me.
Speaker 2:He was like no matter, because a lot of people don't get any opportunity, right? So if you get an opportunity, make the most of it, because it can lead to anything. Which is true.
Speaker 4:The way I've gotten every single career I've been in was through opportunity and I made the most of it exactly. Yeah, yeah, that's good, that's real next question um, what something you're holding on to and why these just keep getting deeper?
Speaker 1:and deeper guys. Fuck, hey, man, let me know what something you're, why it's a lot of that. Let me unpack real quick Something I'm holding on to and why. I kind of feel like it reverts back to the questions that we were answering as well, like the fear of failing right. Oh my God, a little slippery. Be safe, man. Be safe with it.
Speaker 3:Don't drop it, that's right Rub the genie lamp.
Speaker 1:I feel like something I hold on to the most, and this question is so broad.
Speaker 3:That's why I'm kind of struggling right now it's hard, because then it's just like do you unpack, can we unpack, start it.
Speaker 2:I feel like the thing I hold on to the most is the past, because that's where you learn all your everything from it is your past. Like all the situations you've been in, everything you've learned it's just the past. I know people say not to hold on to the past, but if you think about it you have to hold on to the past to continue to grow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to be so honest with you. My memory is so cooked I don't even remember my past.
Speaker 2:So I I just just say the buzzsaw got you, bro. That's just everyday me.
Speaker 3:I will say that, yeah, past. The past carries a lot of weight, and you drag you drag it, Even though I'll say for me, for I don't know if there's other people that made peace with their past.
Speaker 4:Congratulations, you've made it to the next level.
Speaker 3:I unfortunately have not. I try to say that I have, but I know that that shit just weighs.
Speaker 4:It's just like chains on my ankles.
Speaker 3:I don't know, maybe I just need to figure out a way to cut those chains. But I keep telling myself, like, no, like I don't dwell on the past, I don't look back on it, I move forward.
Speaker 3:But there's a lot of things that are anchoring me down Right A lot of feelings, a lot of stuff that I never got to unpack and deal with, a lot of stuff that I obviously suppressed. And again, if you have somebody to talk to, definitely talk to them and be there for them For me. I'm grateful that I have you guys and other people too that have always been there for me never been at that moment of like, uh, like desperate for answers and needing it, because I know that it's it's.
Speaker 1:There's just a lot of things that I went through in my personal life that I never got to either forgive myself or forgive others right yeah, I think one thing that I hold on to a lot and it again this goes into the past um, I would have to think about, like the decisions I've made right, whether it was a career choice, whether it was cutting somebody off, whether it was a relationship, and as much as I don't feel like I think about my past as much, just like you were saying, like it comes to me in certain days and I'm just like, damn, did I make the right decision? And I I just think about it and I'm like, damn, did I, should I have done this? Was this the right decision to make?
Speaker 1:and I think it's it's more like regret yeah, I would say it's regret, and I hate to say that because you know you want to live your life with the least amount of regrets as possible. But I will say I end up convincing myself like, listen, you can't be upset with the decision you made, because look where you're at now. Yeah, and it may not be the best situation, but you can't base your life off of what ifs.
Speaker 2:You can't be like, oh, what if I wanted to stay with this person? What if I decided to yeah everything? Happens for a reason exactly stand on that till I die yeah it's just.
Speaker 1:That's something I have to continuously remind myself, because, of course, regret is a thing you I go through it so often that I'm just like dude. Did I make the right choice? And that's one thing I will say.
Speaker 2:Um it just it it's hard to beat, but that's what pushes you to your future, though, because you're gonna always look back and be like okay, I made that choice last time don't do it again yeah exactly, absolutely I agree okay, ready for the next one.
Speaker 4:Yeah, um, it says what was your biggest struggle this past year.
Speaker 3:Fuck, how much time we got Fuck.
Speaker 4:You have to catch your breath. It says, since April of last year what's your biggest struggle? Fuck.
Speaker 3:Damn it Hold on.
Speaker 2:I gotta go call my therapist. I'll be back that boy ain't picking up.
Speaker 3:He said these are after I recharge it he said it better be important.
Speaker 2:I swear to god I just want to say hi oh shit, um oh, what was the question again?
Speaker 3:yeah, what was the question again?
Speaker 2:can you use it in a sentence? Can you give me a definition?
Speaker 4:what was your biggest struggle this past year?
Speaker 3:ah, fuck my life learning to move on.
Speaker 4:I'll be honest.
Speaker 2:I'll be the same learning to move on moving on from past relationships.
Speaker 3:Yes and growing. Yes, and not dwelling on it no more and letting it Fuck Like letting it.
Speaker 2:Just letting it be.
Speaker 3:Just letting it go.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Like there's nothing that's going to change the the form of action. Shit already happened and I'm blessed that it fucking happened. Like as fucked up as it is and as fucked up as it sounds, I'm blessed that it fucking happened because it created such certainty with myself and the ability of like you know what? What I don't give a fuck. They created that demon in me to be like hey, go on, continue. I'm going to still continue my life, I'm still living happy. That's right.
Speaker 1:I'm going to be so real. I already forgot the question.
Speaker 4:I knew one of you was going to. Boyd Unn looked at me. He said yeah, no, I heard what he was saying.
Speaker 1:He was saying some real shit. But I'm like, okay, but what was the question that led to this?
Speaker 4:What was the reason? Third time Ready?
Speaker 1:This is brought to you by BuzzBall and B-Bucks.
Speaker 4:What was your biggest struggle this past year? Okay, I was thinking accomplishment you got accomplishment for what he was saying.
Speaker 2:No, I was thinking accomplishment. You got accomplishment from what he was saying.
Speaker 1:No, I'm saying accomplishment because he was able to move past the bullshit that's what I was getting at. Pass her I did. Anyway, damn. Anyways, they get struggled bro Again. Financial irresponsibility, god damn.
Speaker 1:Um, I would definitely have to say maintaining, no, adapting to a completely different lifestyle financially so and I've talked about this I don't know how many podcasts, but I was working for a solar company. Company went out of business, owner bailed out on us, didn't say a word. I was making the most money I've ever made in my entire life I mean most and most people, more than most people and to go from making, let's just say, a dollar amount, about $80,000 a year, to just unemployed for months on end. Because, as most of you know, whoever's listening if you're from Fresno, you probably understand this Trying to find a job right now, oh my God, I mean you apply, you apply, you apply, you go into these places. You ask around Everybody's like, yeah, we apply, you apply, you go in these places. You ask around Everybody's like, yeah, we're hiring. No interviews, you can have experience, you can have a degree.
Speaker 2:I feel like they just put that shit out there yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there were studies that were saying a lot of companies were forced quote unquote forced to put out applications saying they're hiring but not hiring people. Force to put out applications saying they're hiring but not hiring people. Um, I know autozone was one of those places and there was another story, but I won't talk about them. Um, but yeah, just adapting from making so much money to little to nothing and I'm just like, okay, I gotta adapt to learning how to manage all my money instead of having so much leg room to be able to just pay my bills and then have hella money to spend yeah, that's something that's so hard to adapt to. Like I felt like I was at rock bottom for so long but I feel like I was able to get over it because, again, I'm at rock bottom. I can't go no lower than this unless I'm fucking just completely flat broke. I had to hustle, I had to get it on my own, you know.
Speaker 1:The only way to go out of that hole is going up. Exactly, and that was literally the entire struggle was just a financial recovery of everything and then also trying to continue to maintain going out and making content, and then also psychologically, you know, a person's got to be depressed or something like that you, you've lost a lot of what you've been working towards and now you're down to right here, bare minimum. You got to build yourself back up and at this age it's like, dude, I don't know how many restarts I got left in me and I'm saying that I'm now 25. Then I was 24. Damn, it's like people Be cool because you're older than me by a month, bro. You're still older than me, you're still older than me.
Speaker 2:Anyway, no, I still find it crazy how me and you went through the same shit pretty much at the same time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and sometimes it alternated Like I was up, you were down, then flip, you were up, I was down, and then again same time. Like it's crazy, same with you though Same with him. There was times where we were both just both down and then picked up at the same time.
Speaker 3:Hey. So we didn't give up, though. No, we made it out we made it out.
Speaker 1:Oh fucking fear, man, honey. And I just think it's beautiful. You know what struggle is beauty? Because without pain, what is life? Right? Yeah, you, you really can't grow without pain, and that's just how it is.
Speaker 2:So I mean even, I think, elon Musk and Jeff Bezos would disagree first of all.
Speaker 1:But on another note, but you be using Amazon crazy. I had order off Amazon in like three years you work for them.
Speaker 3:Crazy three years ago, crazy still work for them before we continue this episode, this episode, this episode sponsored by amazon fuck jeff bezos anyways that's why his wife left him, took hella money god damn, jeff bezos, was that his girlfriend that went out of space? So his girlfriend, it was a girlfriend, right? Not was the girlfriend right, Not gonna lie.
Speaker 2:His wife do be donating dumb money to Terry, though.
Speaker 1:And what did he do with his money?
Speaker 2:Hmm, Crazy Fake launches to space with females.
Speaker 1:Yeah, y'all seen that. What the hell Katy Perry know about space?
Speaker 3:11 minutes is crazy. Out of all the people. Have y'all seen the videos of it?
Speaker 1:we're like that shit's fake.
Speaker 3:I didn't, I didn't see it, kat was telling me that, that one of them was freaking out, I think yeah, gilking, she was freaking out and again it's just rich people doing dumb shit.
Speaker 4:That's what it is. It's a sub.
Speaker 2:It's a submarine titanic thing in reverse people money. But hold on.
Speaker 1:I got a question didn't they say that they were gonna talk about doing like? Um, it was supposed to be like some kind of space exploration with a certain amount of money you could spend, like I thought it was like 250 000, and you can go on like this space exploration in the ship.
Speaker 4:It was supposed to be it was supposed to be, like space tourism or some shit like that elon musk was supposed to be building.
Speaker 3:It was supposed to be with Elon Musk, right? It's like space tourism or some shit like that. Elon Musk was supposed to be building rockets for the bridge and people already bought their seats to reserve it Right, which is crazy, because where the fuck are you going?
Speaker 4:I think they said to Mars.
Speaker 1:You can't go on Mars yet.
Speaker 4:Send their ass to Mars. Please Go ahead, send their ass to Mars. I think it's crazy.
Speaker 2:Fuck around and find out.
Speaker 1:Man, I'm going to stay my ass right here on Earth. I'm cool.
Speaker 4:Yeah, 11 minutes was kind of crazy.
Speaker 3:Maybe not I mean good on them honestly, but then like think about it, like look at all the astronauts that they put so much hard work and dedication. And then for them to go months on end, or even the only astronaut.
Speaker 4:I respect. There were like two people on there, it was Neil.
Speaker 2:Armstrong, because he was crib walking on the moon.
Speaker 4:There were two people on there that deserved to be on there. One of them was, like, actually trained. I forgot her name, and the other one was like an activist for like women in STEM, I believe. The other ones, I don't know what the fuck they were doing there or why they were there.
Speaker 2:They were just there for the name. They were just like I get it's cool.
Speaker 4:They said it was like 700 people have been to space and now they're one of them. That's cool as fuck, but like for what?
Speaker 1:For 11 years, for what? But also those astronauts that got stuck in space. For how long? Yeah, that was crazy. It was like nine months or something. That's why I said the millionaires want to go to Mars. So bad, go ahead.
Speaker 2:Take them out there. Don't be shy. Name on the uh on the wheel.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna eat that. Jeff bezos, please put me in your will. I I promise you, I'm not financially irresponsible, no more no more, he listens to this podcast like no no uh, mr, please, please, collab um. What's the one question you've always wanted?
Speaker 4:an answer to Mr Beast, please collapse.
Speaker 2:What's the one question?
Speaker 4:you've always wanted an answer to what happens after death. Yeah, it could be silly or serious, that's the only one I know.
Speaker 2:I really want to know what happens after that.
Speaker 3:Where babies come from, that's mine. They poop. They get pooped out. You know, how many babies I've been bro that's enough that's crazy.
Speaker 1:He said fuck child support, I'm flushing it I think my main question would be is time travel actually real? Okay, I want to know if that shit's real and it's not that important, right? It's kind of important, I mean. Yeah, it can affect everything, but the theories that I've seen in certain research studies. It's like there's been certain instances where there's questionable people in the past.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Like there's that picture when JFK got shot. Yeah, dude was wearing a puffy jacket and had a cell phone.
Speaker 1:And then there's oftentimes there's other photos that are like that too.
Speaker 2:It's like early, early stages.
Speaker 1:And you see a dude on a cell phone talking and it's like, bro, this is 1930 something.
Speaker 3:Like they didn't have a phone. Yeah, they didn't have a phone at. Yeah, they didn't have those.
Speaker 2:The real question who the fuck was he calling? Because ain't nobody else have a fucking phone. That's true.
Speaker 1:That's real, though, and it just makes you really easy.
Speaker 2:Hey, we gotta get the fuck up out of here.
Speaker 3:Hey dog, I'm out here in 1990s.
Speaker 1:And I think there was a Black Mirror episode about this. Whether it was Black Mirror or a different movie, I don't remember. Clock my shit one more time, one more time, no, but it was just based upon that. This guy was going back in the time and he couldn't control what time frame he was going in. He figured out a way to time travel.
Speaker 2:He got mad, so he was just randomly he was randomly going back in the past that guy's a fucking idiot.
Speaker 1:It was wild. I mean as a black man traveling back into the 30s to 1800s. Yeah, they tried to get his ass, but I'm just saying it was crazy because it makes you really wonder if somebody's done that before. The theory's always been out there, but I just have a feeling that it's possible and I would love to get the answer to figure out. How can it be accomplished? That's your number one question, that's, I would love to get the answer to figure out, like how can it be accomplished?
Speaker 2:that's your number one question. That's what you want to know the most.
Speaker 1:Yeah, brother, I could go back in the time and make sure you don't ask that question you don't walk in here and snake me maybe no, I would fall inside of the door open before. Before you ask that question, think about if this going to hurt. I could go back in the past. I would be able to make myself rich. I already know the lottery winning numbers. There's a movie about that. Go back in the past. What's?
Speaker 3:the movie called though Back to the Future.
Speaker 2:No, you think I know that it's Project Almanac.
Speaker 1:One of the greatest movies ever made. Yeah, this guy's a fucking movie nerd, but I put you on, didn't I Lottery ticket? This man, I'm going to be so honest with you. Growing up, I never watched movies.
Speaker 2:I'm hungry, I'm broke.
Speaker 1:This man has put me on to so many movies because growing up I didn't watch a lot of movies. I was strictly gaming or I was outside touching grass the fuck you trying to say.
Speaker 3:I'm just saying a movie only lasts like two hours.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying I was touching grass, just saying you weren't cultured bro is cool, like it's alright.
Speaker 1:I wasn't cultured enough to have a fucking TV that was being able to play movies like that. Nah, I'm not going to hold you. My dad did burn DVDs, so he was making movies.
Speaker 2:Rob Markman, the man who's cool. I was watching them on burn DVDs.
Speaker 1:Rob Markman, the man who's cool, just like I'm not going to ask him for no movies, so I'm going to just go play my Xbox. I'm going to head out, I'm going to go to the park real quick and go play some football and get into some shit. But yeah, he put me on a lot of movies. I mean Talladega Nights, fucking crazy enough to even say this. You put me on a Superbad which is wild, like that movie is. So funny.
Speaker 2:So many people have watched that years ago and I'm on a late show. Why the fuck would you choose Muhammad Out of all the names? Muhammad's the most commonly used name in the world to read a book.
Speaker 1:I literally watched that movie last night too. That's the funniest thing.
Speaker 2:But oh my god.
Speaker 4:Did you answer what? What's the one question you've always wanted an answer to?
Speaker 2:She caught you bro.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he thought he was going to sneak past it.
Speaker 1:Like his birthday shot. I got that video too, the birthday shot you tried to sneak past. Remember the one I got you on video?
Speaker 3:That was years ago, dog Bro the.
Speaker 1:Snapchat memories be getting your ass, bro.
Speaker 3:Oh, I know I don't go on Snapchat no more. Oh my God, no, there's this video for you guys that don't know. I was hosting a party out here. Cool, invite, appreciate it. You were beefing with the other one, dude. Yeah, you were as far as I know, both of them, them homeboys, said that they were beefing with you.
Speaker 1:Both. Yes, you know he's a follower. Come on, don't be surprised. You're right, but where they at now.
Speaker 2:Where am I right now?
Speaker 1:Don't stop, don't stop. Don't stop cutting the cheese Until I say so.
Speaker 2:That's crazy Tell me when to stop.
Speaker 3:Keep going.
Speaker 2:Oh, you're running out of cheese, go to the back of another one or the?
Speaker 1:Can I get that bottle of Crown Royale in the back Dang? Oh God, all right. Enough shots. Enough shots, please bro.
Speaker 2:Boo and see his brother. Well, that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1:That was brother, chilling shit I ain't gonna lie to you.
Speaker 3:So DJ caught me in 4K. Everybody was taking a shot for my birthday. I was still like strictly like no, I'm not gonna take no shots at all. Um, ducking and and dj literally was just like cheers, cheers, everyone's cheering. And then you just see me. Just he said Nobody looked and I was like cool, I'm safe. I look a little bit to the left and there's DJ with his phone and I'm just like he was like I caught you.
Speaker 1:I didn't say anything at first, but I was like he looked at me and I was just like yeah, he got me Fuck. That video makes me laugh every single year when it pops up, bro. Nah, but fuck snapchat memories. That shit reminded me of something today.
Speaker 3:I was so pissed off bro I don't, I don't dare to go on anymore.
Speaker 2:That's why I got that shit deleted. There's a hell of shit on there you still didn't answer the question I, I did.
Speaker 3:I said where were babies come from?
Speaker 1:No, that's not what I said. That's so unserious.
Speaker 4:That's so unserious.
Speaker 3:God damn it.
Speaker 4:You ask me crazy questions every day.
Speaker 3:Oh, that is true, clocked your shit, but my mind runs a thousand miles a minute. My mind telling me no, can't even fucking remember which.
Speaker 4:Anyways, go ahead, what the fuck what's the one question you've always wanted an answer to?
Speaker 3:okay, the one question that I want answers to is how do people still have the creative mind like music, there's so much music already. Like how has it not been like all right, dude? There's like how's there so much creativity still, after so much songs have been out already? If you think, dude, there's like, how's there so much creativity still, after so much songs have been out already?
Speaker 2:If you think about it, there's a lot of samples. Now, though, Like it's just people reusing old music and just chopping it up.
Speaker 1:Do you feel like that's going to come to an end in our lifetime? Because think about it?
Speaker 2:No, because there's going to be a chop. Wool is already chopped.
Speaker 1:But the samples that are being made, the samples that are being made, so there's been the original generation of music.
Speaker 2:You know origination of R&B, pop, rock. If you think about it, we could think of originated as a different time than somebody else would.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, but hold on. So the original R&B song right.
Speaker 4:What would you say the original is?
Speaker 1:It's been flipped and changed so the original creator of, like Michael Jackson's. Do you Remember the Time? But, there's people before him. But he created that song with no like that distinct sound.
Speaker 2:So like an original.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you cannot hear that any time before him, right? So that specific song. And then somebody sampled it Like let's for instance EBK, right? Ebk is known for making samples of like you couldn't just say someone that everybody would know, ebk. Back though you telling me most people don't know who. Ebk is no One of the biggest rap groups in fucking. Anyways, all right, fucking, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Even Martin was looking at you crazy. That's all I know. Even Martin was looking at you crazy. That's all I know. I'm just saying, anyways, so you take a sample from the 80s, you reuse it. Ten years later, somebody takes a sample right Of your sample, whether it was yours or the one beforehand. There's going to be a time where everybody's like bro, I've heard this sample like four or five times it can't get no better.
Speaker 1:A lot of West Coast is like that, if I'm honest times it can't get no better and it has a lot of west coast is like that. If I'm honest, that's why I brought up bbk. Um, but do you think there's going to be a time where people are just like, okay, we're not doing samples, no more, like that's so, that's so 2020 I don't think so, I don't know, to to find somebody to uniquely change the music industry would it'd be difficult?
Speaker 1:There's been a couple. I feel like Lil Yachty's been able to do it. He's been able to create some music, that's I feel like Lil Yachty's been able to do it. Playboy Cardi's definitely done it.
Speaker 2:Uzi, uzi's done it. If you think about it, there's only a handful of people that try new shit Like Tyler's definitely doing some different shit.
Speaker 1:So maybe there is. It'll probably continue on because people will sample their originals from our day and age. My thing is just how does this still create?
Speaker 3:There's so much love songs, how are people still able to create? New ones and write new lyrics, right the whole new perspective.
Speaker 4:I think it goes back to like experience, like everyone's experience is so different that you can write about the same thing so many times and hit so many, interpret it in a different way. Yeah, and still hit your target audience.
Speaker 1:And do you think that makes it more valuable what they're saying?
Speaker 1:because, it's been said since way back then. Like let's say it's a love song. Let's say it's a love song, right, and they're talking about like oh, how could you leave me? Yada, yada, yada somebody from the next 20 years can hear that and just be like dude. It's been in the book since before I was even born. Like this feeling has been felt by so many people before me. Like this is what makes it hit even more. Like does it gain value after after time?
Speaker 4:I don't know I don't know, I think it'd be. I think that's where it's like the artist, that's where, like the artist has to shine, it's like you have to make it a new experience or a new feeling, right coming from the same thing right do you think that we'll ever get to a time where everyone's just mixing, mixing, mixing that it does sound like the original, like years from now?
Speaker 4:they're just mixing, mixing, mixing the song that we know is dead and gone and they like, mixed and made the original, like the generation of the original song is gone and they essentially mixed to create the original. Do you think we'll ever get?
Speaker 2:there, but it's already kind of happening if it's because there's times where somebody makes a song, and then they get sued because they're like oh that's my song because it's still owned by someone. They're like what the fuck? I didn't even know it was real. Yeah, I get cheering.
Speaker 3:Just I don't know if he just finished his lawsuit that he had with with one of his most popular songs. I forget which one it was I think it's either perfect or or some other one but it's. Somebody who wrote a song similar to it, sued him for defamation and he has to pay millions of dollars, that's crazy. I think he's losing in the lawsuit too. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Crazy concept.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4:Last one ready. If this were your last moment, what would you say?
Speaker 3:much love peace the outro it just ends right
Speaker 1:there you're like oh man, I'll probably just say type shit, I just want type shit. Like what can I say?
Speaker 2:Like if I knew I was going to like God forbid, yeah, like I was gone tomorrow, right, I'd be like. I'm just happy for the people I've met, the memories I've made. That's really all you can go off of.
Speaker 3:I think it would just have to depend on, like, how much time I have. Like I said, much love, peace.
Speaker 4:That's quick yeah.
Speaker 3:That's what I'm saying, but then what if I say that, and I'm just standing there Hold on.
Speaker 4:Anyways, that was embarrassing, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:Everyone in there awkward.
Speaker 3:I don't know. I think it would be a meaningful speech to the loved ones before. I don't know. I think it would be a meaningful speech to the loved ones before. And you know what I think.
Speaker 1:I would plan it to like hey, let's go somewhere, let's go have fun, like that SpongeBob episode when Ty was ticking and he thought he was going to blow up.
Speaker 2:If I knew there was like some time, I feel like I'd want like a one-on-one with every important person.
Speaker 3:And then just go, I got, I got another question. Would you want to know when you would?
Speaker 4:die.
Speaker 2:No, no, fuck, no okay I mean, that's debatable chat uh, I mean you would, but then you wouldn't, and it's dabbling into where your conscience goes.
Speaker 1:After that, I feel like you have to be a very strong minded person to be able to be like yeah, tell me, I'd panic, I'm not going to hold you.
Speaker 2:Rob Markman. I'd say, yeah, tell me, so I know what I have to do before that happens. And I'd say, don't tell me, so I can just live my life how I'm supposed to live it.
Speaker 1:Rob Markman. I feel like I'd like to know, just so, that way I can look at the timer and just be like, all right, I got three years, and that would inspire me to do what I got to do. It's a race against death. All of our life is just a race against death, or a bet against death, I don't know. But I just kind of feel like it would fuel me to do more. It would fuel me to be like, hey, bro, you don't got time to waste at all. I think a lot of us I say a lot of us, not all of us, because some people do think of this often but a lot of us forget, like, this is a temporary moment, I don't forget, you don't live here forever. For me, personally, I wake up with the thought like, like, yeah, tomorrow I'm about to do this, but tomorrow we got to do this. This weekend we got to do that. And it's like, brother, you, you are living. You are living a. How do I say this? What is the word I'm looking for?
Speaker 1:right now you're living a you're living on borrowed time not borrowed time, but like a facade no damn why you do me like that. No, you're, you're living a. Just take a word you're living. What is the fucking word? Now I'm struggling, I hate this shit, but basically, basically, what I'm saying is is that tomorrow is not promised, but you're treating it like you live forever, and I got to get out of that mindset. That's a facade, just so you know. I mean, yeah, but the word facade just came off a little like nigga, you're delusional, that's not?
Speaker 2:at all what it means, but okay.
Speaker 1:Is a facade, not a delusion.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 4:It's like a false hope.
Speaker 1:I don big of a word for my arsenal. I'll go ahead.
Speaker 4:I'm just saying when I think of facade. It's like, it sounds like something that's I think, when I think, when I hear facade, I think illusion, but I could be also wrong honestly, I hear facade is like false.
Speaker 3:Because it sounds like false oh, oh no, but then again I'm also not fully here.
Speaker 1:I also failed English, so so here you are trying to clock my shit.
Speaker 2:I know big words sometimes Hold on, I might be right.
Speaker 4:It's an outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less credible reality.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it would be a facade.
Speaker 4:It could be a facade, yeah.
Speaker 1:Is that not delusion? Are you not delusional thinking that's your reality?
Speaker 2:No, delusional is thinking of something that couldn't happen but would never happen.
Speaker 4:Illusion is a synonym to facade.
Speaker 2:Not delusion. Oh, you said delusion, no illusion.
Speaker 4:Illusion yeah, Is a synonym.
Speaker 3:I just work here, chat Anyways, anyways anyways, uh, but yeah, I said what I said. Um, I think I would, uh, I think I would like to know, like, I think, uh, it doesn't change my mentality because I do operate. It's like, no, like I tell it, hey, let's go live our lives, tomorrow isn't promised, right, you know? It's like I'm not gonna sit here and be like, hey, like all he did. You know, I don't want anybody being my u, ug, ug, right, and they're saying like, oh, martin, all he did was just, you know, worked and ditched stuff on the side and had a boring life. I don't want to fucking live my life before.
Speaker 3:Like I said, tomorrow is a promise. I've had friends and really close homeboys of mine that died, from the most dumbest things to the most random fucking acts. And you never know, tomorrow is not guaranteed and you just got to learn to live your life and do what you want to do, be happy, live with no regrets and anything that you go through, mistakes and failures. You just take it as lessons. Don't sit there and dwell on it, because it's just wasting time. And really I would just like to know the day of Like, oh, okay, so this is the last day. I wouldn't tell nobody. I wouldn't, but then I would best believe it's like okay, I'm going to plan something throughout however many days you know, to hang out with everybody and I don't know who knows, I'll go somewhere else. I think that's the type of person I would go fucking across.
Speaker 4:Just disappear, just disappear. Nah, I'd follow your ass. Where are you going For real?
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I had in mind too is literally just not tell nobody. I feel like I wouldn't want to worry nobody, like that's just the last thing, because then that ruins your last moments. You're going to be worried then it's weird, then it's sad.
Speaker 4:But then they're forever going to think you're missing.
Speaker 2:I'd definitely leave a note or something Like on the fridge, on the fridge You'd be like You'd be like hey, I'm out of here actually Fucking fridge mat. I'm definitely dying tomorrow, but y'all live y'all life. I'll be okay.
Speaker 3:I think I'd be cruel and prank everybody. I'd be like little like dust, little jars, like little tiny jars of dust, and just send them out and mail them out to people Bro.
Speaker 4:By the way, I'm dead. This is a little piece of me. Hey, that's enough.
Speaker 3:That this is a little piece of me. Hey, that's enough. That's enough. You know how crazy it's, like this is martin oh my god, he left.
Speaker 4:In reality, I'm probably with me, it's the dust off his fucking fan it's not even you, it's just dirt me checking your fan to make sure there's no dust on it wait oh man, oh god, we're all good chilling yeah what the hell was that you hear that?

Speaker 2:They fucking lied. Yeah, they lied, big cat.

They said Canes, we're like canes. They say canes. We're like, oh yeah, let's go ahead over there. So they go up ahead of us to the canes across the street. We go over there with them and the entire time we're just sitting there chilling and the dude in front of us hops out the window. He's like, hey, I just got married. And we're like, hey, we're all cheering for him and shit. And then I started playing locked up by akon.

We don't know who these people are. We're just randomly popped up at the same time and the entire time we're in the line we're just yapping to each other. Yeah, it was great times. And then they ended up paying for our order and the order was like $60 worth of food.
Speaker 2:Nah, the window person did his hella dirty because he screamed out the window he's like hey, I'm gonna pay for y'all. And we thought he was like Bullshit, bullshit.
