To think of the things that Tennant felt like. He was breaking a lot of rules and being like a bad kid, but it was like kind of cool to him. He's like, come. On, you know, like, you know. Smoke cigarets, watch porn, fuck. Whatever, bro. You know what I'm saying? I was like, no. I don't want to do that. That kid's pushing the limits. For a ten year old, right? That's O2. And I was just like, But then I hung out. I was like, whatever I'm saying. And then he, like, you know, do you like Kingdom Hearts? And I was like. Oh, yeah, Papa. Oh, yeah. He's like, you want to try to be Sephiroth? And I was like, let's go. This is fucking its time. I'd never beat him, you know, Kingdom Hearts two. And then we were like trading back and forth runs and then like, I, I went deep a couple times. Like I got to, like, maybe halfway done with his health. And he was just getting his ass kicked. And he was like, bro, I'll be honest with you, I really just want to beat this. You could just, like, keep going. So are you, like, we don't have to watch a. Lot closer in progress than I am. Yeah. And I was like, okay, like, yes, do it. Like, are you cool with that? Okay. Let's go, let's go. We're going off. I'm all for it. Yeah, I'm Rumble man. Oh it's you. Every time I die, I'm like, fuck, I got to wait 20 minutes. Yeah, I got to wait. Yeah. And then. No, we stayed up all night. And then I beat him and I was like, tripping. I was like. Damn. Pizza. Let's go. Is this going to last? Yeah. Okay. Okay. And then one thing I notice is just that, like, as you're each run, I would get a little deeper and a little deeper and then he'd like, pull out a move I hadn't seen because I never made it that deep. And I was like, fuck, I gotta do this when he does that now. Yeah. How do I combat that? How do I counteract that? Right. And then then I go home, you know, and I, like, take a little nap and I wake up and I'm like, well, she let me fuck you. I know how to be safer off. Now, let's do it on my console. Just curb stomp me. Over and over and over again. Were you. Like, in the same spot as far as, like you're over. Like who you're fighting with? You know what I'm saying? Your character stats. Relatively. But it was like the rhythm thing, like, I needed 20 or 30 simulations in a row to beat set for, like, I needed 30 simulations worth of data, like Matthew did not saw, you know? Yeah. And then, like, I go back and, like, had lost all my simulations. I've lost all my rhythm. I'd forgotten, like, how I need to do the things. And I was, like, starting to remember. And I was just like, did this task is daunting. Like, fuck this. I'm not I'm not messing with this right now. Never got it on your own Castle. No. Oh my God, no. Oh, no. Right. Fuck. But it just showed me, like, as an adult, I was thinking about it and I was like, like, what's a simulation? When we say like, like a, I uses, like, thousands of simulations to come to. like NFL predictive analytics. Yeah. Final score of a game. Right. Or like Madden you can simulate an entire season on Madden. What's a simulation like okay. Continue. Yeah. Right. Go on. And I feel. Like there's something about like a human simulation that's like watching myself do a full attempt like, that's like a one, like simulated experience of, like beating the boss, like. If I'm going to have like, 30 attempts, there's like five of those first ten attempts at me just getting curb stomped, like, I don't even get close. It's just like. Up a dead. But then there's ones that like. And you draw data from that too. Yeah. It's like the end of the spectrum. it's like being able to beat him with complete and total ease, or being able to fight the boss and beat the boss without losing a single health point. Yeah. One. One point of health. There we. Go. Flawless victory versus just not doing any damage. You just can't fucking slaughter the offense. It's where you gotta start. And then you slowly regress. Yes. And there's something about like an attempt or a simulation or like once I had 30 attempts or 30 simulations, then it was easier for me to make the right choice or to beat the boss with trials. And I was like, maybe there's something about Madden two is like, I don't know how simulation works. Maybe they're like, see the game play out and they're like, that's not how the game would play out though. Like, yeah, right. That's how we played it out. But it wouldn't play out like that. So then it make some kind of modification or whatever. And then it's like this is more close to reality. So this is a better simulation. But still I could tweak this, this and this now that I've seen it, whatever. You know what I'm saying? It's going to open up that box for like what is, A trial? How do you like you know, experience. Yeah. The experience almost serious, like the 10,000 hour rule. Yeah. We're going to say, though. I say just like the experience in the in regards of end results or like you had to go through a simulation or a trial or period of time where you do something, and then in that doing of that something, you learn about how to do that something overall. Yeah. You know, yeah. There's some of that. And then we try to apply that going forward and try to do it. The next time we do it, we try to do it better and try to do a better and try to do a better. And yeah, my 30th attempt, you know, I beat Sephiroth. I'm telling you like the first five times. It's just like you're dead in five seconds. Not even close. Like it's like you don't even. It doesn't even open up to you, you know what I'm saying? Which is. So, there's just something about that that I think is think, this is from something, but like there's this dad talking to his son and he is like, Don't worry about how many homeruns you're hitting, and don't worry about how many RBIs you're hitting, because then you're gonna have to worry about how many strikeouts you've had and how many outs you've had. Instead, just worry about how many At-Bats you have, like just how many At-Bats that I get. All you want to do is to get into the batter box and like, get your attempt or get your simulation that way, like you'll you'll always get better if you're always trying to get in the box. And the only time you won't get better is that when you don't want to be in the box. So like, and I was just like that. That's stuck with me whenever I saw it or heard it, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And then like that. It repeated itself to me this week or something like that. I think my boss was like, what do you want? And I said, I just want more At-Bats. And then I was like, where'd that come from, bro? Like that's all. Subconscious. Hold on to that one. Yeah. For real. That hit something. Yeah. This is more shots. More shots. yeah. More shots. So when loss. Reps get in the rep. More reps. Bro. It was a fucking matter. Just get the fucking reps in, man. You'll get better over time, but you'll never get there if you're not doing the reps. It's just, you know, with with stand up comedy or with podcasting with any creative expression. You're doing art, you're writing, you're drawing whatever you got, like gets the reps in, man. You gotta get the reps in. Yeah. Time crazy rich experience and time. Where you experiencing time? Yeah, yeah. That's one of the. That's like. It's like losing the. Illusion of time. Divinity in the sky. in your life is the Alabama. Yeah, that's my dog. Come on. Yeah. It's crazy people. Can we get to simulate anything? Somebody came up to me at work and was like, I'm just divinity in disguise. And I was. Like, oh, you. We're watching the VOD. Who's that? John Sylvester. that was a. That was like. That was the real deal. Those were like some of the hardest bars I'd heard all week from anybody. And there's some diss track going out. On. This shit going on in the world. Don. He agreed. And he was like, yeah, that's why I fucking. That's why I'm still singing it in my head. Dude, that was that was it. That was that. That's a top tier bar, right? Yeah, that's as good as it gets, bro. That's what I'm saying. Tap into this platinum bar. Come on, baby, let's go. Just the vessel, bro. We're just in. Better be in the vessel. Just a second. Yeah, whatever the illusion this is, I guess. Yeah. You just mentioned something, though we could talk about a little bit. The fucking distracts going around in the social sphere of life. Distraction, general. I think that's back. Yeah. I guess if they've always been around, does it ever leave this tracks? Right? Yeah. Since. Since the early 90s. Now I'm sure even before then, you know this this tracks. But. Yes. if. This track maybe. All right Google that. Yeah. Yeah. For those of you who are unaware, I guess there is a, a disc track for you to go on about in the hip hop industry and the hip hop sphere of music. I wonder if, like all the other the other music genres, it's like looking, watching, you know, they're all in their own game, individual games, in their individual arenas, like it's country music, country music fans just looking at hip hop and everyone's like, oh man, there they go again. Just decent each other, talking shit, talking directly to one another indirectly through music. Kendrick dropped some shit and there's this. This isn't the first time Kendrick did something similar to this because he dropped like or his his verse on like that is the most recent verse that was, kind of this track worthy in that category, calling out big, Big Sean, sorry, Drake and Jay Cole, but I guess on control back in the day. Remember that song fucking go in control. He he he's dropping shit. He was just trying to kill these motherfuckers in his own words, quote unquote save. Yeah, I remember that was like a historic moment, like, Kendrick was going to. Set the bar high. Who want to jump in? Get it? Yeah. It was like, oh, shit. Yeah. Oh, I think that he was in the top five at that time. And then people put him at the number one. Like it reminded me of maybe, like, you know, in the middle of the season, like ten weeks in, you know, like Alabama just destroys Texas. And then you're like, whoa, Alabama is definitely number one now. But yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Close. Like that week on the news, they were like, everyone put Kendrick as their number one after that. You know what I'm saying? or at least the conversation came about. Yeah. I mean, of course it's people, the Stephen Smith. Hold on. Not so fast, Skip Bayless. Not so fast. May I tell me, are you going to tell me one song can put you at the top, one bar, 16 bars? Let me. Remind you about a mr.. Kanye. West 20 number one hits this year. Let's look at the numbers. Yeah, that's a good bet, brother. Sports idol is doing hip hop. You know. It's a little bit 52 weeks at number one. It's a year. It's even. That is great. Yeah. Know for a living. That's one of my axioms. Is that, like, whoever, whoever is the most whoever. I don't know how you say it, but, like, whoever is the most right in conversation is whomever can make the best argument. So it's like, yeah, if you're just convincing, that's like Steven and Skip Bayless, like, you know, they're they were in that position where they had that show together because I think that they were the best people at ESPN at making the argument. Like, it doesn't even have to be that their argument is true. Or had the right. Yeah. At all. Right. They're the wrong. All those. yeah. Exactly that many things. I love Monday morning because one of them's just always sitting there like. Well, I have to let you have your say. Today because I was dead wrong in the water. One thing I overestimated. It's my fault. It's on me. I overlooked key critical details that I shouldn't have. That's not the first time this has happened. of course, this is a common motif. Definitely in hip hop. I don't think any. Any. How many other music genres are people dissing each other? Okay. Talking shit on one one another. Yeah. So to get back to it, 1980s, it said it's a Google search. Since the 80s. Since the 80s. Hip hop or what's the what's it say? It says I just typed in. When was the first diss track made? Okay. Fair search. It says in the 1980s, districts began to feature prominently in the hip hop genre. Okay. So it's possible, you know, I'm sure there were some fucking South Yards. It, so there were some even cavemen being like. Oh, you're a little me. Yeah, yeah, I believe you fucking that as in whatever language they have. Yeah. What are we talking about? Feud. Yeah. For you. Yeah. Let's see each other. We're talking about, It's like conflict without the violence. Or transmuted the. Physical violence. Yeah. There we go. There we go. Let's dance it out, brother. Like. Yeah. That's funny. Something. You know it is. I think it's. What is it? I think it's Daddy's Home is the movie theater with Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell. They talk about this is like a conflict resolution. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's hilarious. That's another trope where I'm talking about they're like, you know, let's not be violent. Let's have a different alternative mode for, Express how we figure this shit out for you. For disagreement. Conflict. You conflict. Yeah. Why are you decent? Somebody talking shit? Yeah. Like, you know. As I say, David and Goliath almost reminds me of the same thing. Because they fought one on one to settle the war between everybody. So that's like violence transmission, like, let's let's compete rather than have the violence that surrounds our argument, our feud, our disagreements. Yeah. Starts and ends with us. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Same thing on the movie Hercules. That's like how really the Kings are, like, in the very beginning. In the very end, the kings are like. No more people have to die. Me, me in the middle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, there's two thoughts. It just fucking to my head. One of them was the fucking UFC guy from. Yeah. I went off this past week. The guy who doesn't. Pereira. What's his name. Are you fucking or you Fourier Got mine. I don't know either. Dude on the UFC guy, I'm guessing here I'm. Not a UFC guy. Either. Talking about Poirier was like it was. Yes. I don't know. It's I tried to look it up just now, but then I got distracted because, I think it's UFC 300. I don't even I don't even know either way. Meet me in the fucking middle of the ring. Let's see. I don't know what. I'm talking about. You saw it on Instagram. Everyone saw that. It's like. Yeah. The, that gesture of what he had done was just, kind of like, fuck all the the technicalities behind all the technicalities, but all the nuances and intricacies behind what is MMA and being able to do all these mixed martial arts, boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jujitsu things are grappling on the ground and striking in the air. He's just like, fuck all of that bullshit. To meet me. In the center of this ring, and we're just going. To throw. Punches at each other's face until one of us falls. Yeah, in the last five seconds of the right, it was like the last five seconds of the fifth round. And there's only. And how many is that? The last round. Is that the fifth round? Okay, so. The totality of the match. Is this, this is it. Right. Yeah. Yeah yeah. That had to be at home. Play for play. Yeah okay. Yeah yeah I'm sorry that over for you. Boom. Yeah, bro. Maybe we can have it right here some day for you versus playing right here. Yeah. So Max Holloway. Swinging swinging claps then. He connects on that one punch and just fucking good night. Did you imagine the. Because I'm on adrenaline. Immediately afterwards he's. Feeling in that. Moment he tries to run away. First of all where are you running. He just takes off reckless you know I gotta go, I gotta go. Oh, okay. And then he he almost falls. Down because he's, like about to run out of his body. You know, it's like it had to be a ten out of ten. Hey, you know what I'm saying? It had to be the craziest feeling of euphoria. And, like, adrenaline and joy and pride and. Golly, yeah, he, like, he gets in the middle. He. Before this clip, he points at it. He points. Yeah, yeah. He he points down. Yeah he points down. And then he's like not looked over fine right here right here. And that's when they're both just committed to duking it out. But this guy he never really buys in. He never really buys into like look at a row. He's kind of like oh shit. Like what did I just sign up for? You know what I'm saying? Is D-Day. You're storming the beaches of Normandy. This ball is fun. All right, booby, that's right. Stand there. Just like that. You like watch the other homie. You're the homie. Fan the gun. Just like that, bro. Bro, I'm. I'm pretty sure that was the last five seconds of the fifth round. It was. So that's the end of the fight. See, the other thing is who was up? Who was down. Like for him to just say, you know what, if he's losing at that. Point I had only watched. Yeah, I've seen Schultz's reaction to this and I could take through context clues. I think he had said, like, he didn't have to do that. He was up three one, like he was up three rounds, the one. So all he had to do was wait for this fifth round to end, and he would have won by decision. But he was like, fuck it. The other thing is, if that guy, there's probably like a nice thing that happens, right? Do I give Poirier, who's he fighting? I don't even know, you know. But if the guy that was losing says, like. What was the name of the guy? Max Holloway. Holloway. Yeah. Respect to that motherfucker. That's the hardest thing. I've ever seen. Right there, guys. Savage. Everyone had to witness that. You're just thinking as a gamer, sometimes you turn on hearing all the bullshit before they can turn out their nose. He's like, I'm taking the energy. Mean me motherfucker. Instead of being like, okay, he's going to take his last shot. He's going to try to save. My time for the last 10s of this round. Nah, he's, motherfucking one of us is going to win for real. Undisputed. Yeah, this shit's crazy, but I think, another moment that popped out to me was a Tommy Shelby. Peaky Blinders, I think is the end of the first season. spoiler alert. When he's fighting Billy Kimber. Whatever. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And he's like, he's like, just us. Then he's like, well, this is fucking me and you that I'm really after. Or whatever the hell he shoots at him and then he fucking clap. Let's just like, bang, it's over. Done. Yeah. I love that one for Tommy Shelby, too. Like, he has that moment of, like, he gets shot and he's not dead. And then he realizes, like, all he has to do is kill him right then and now, and it's checkmate. Like, you kind of like, feel it with him. And it's like. Boom, look, it's. Over. No one else has to die. That's it, I won. You saw it? He saw it. He shot me. It's over. Bang! And then everyone's like, he's a new Billy. Kimber, I guess. Is that he. I guess that's the the way it's going to go. Yeah, yeah, because his. Guys could have just mowed down his squad like they're outnumbered. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Outmanned, outgunned. He was like in a losing position and just been shot. He's like wait I win. Bam. That's just crazy. Yeah. So, that fella definitely did that. So if I got the grappling and I guess there's technique to that. But they were just throwing punches, bro. Yeah, just a brawl. Just a street. Brawl. The other thing. Is none of those punches are hitting like, do you see like. Just one, just 1 or 2, just a half of this. Number one. Big critical hit. Tonight. Right in the chin. That's what the jaw just get done. The idea of a knockout punch. oh. Could you imagine? Those people are fucking crazy, bro. Fighters. Different breed, different breed. They're true modern day gladiators to the fucking fullest degree, capacity. Just no swords and shit. Yeah. Just that. Just body. That's all we can make. Just technique with your body, which is skeleton in your muscles. I mean, it's just. It's just crazy, bro. Like. You know. How many, how many people. Are. Like that guy, Max Holloway, he's in a position where he's on a prime time card. It was the 300 card. It was like a centennial event. You know what I'm saying? They're like celebrating. It was the biggest card it was. Someone told me that it was the best card they'd ever had in UFC. They just put together the best fights, the most fights. It was legitimately the best event that ever had. Just like, really cool to say that you're still like, I don't think we're gonna have the best Super Bowl we ever had next year in the NFL. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I guess, yeah, I guess some Super Bowl good fucking busts. Yeah. You know what? The Kansas City in the Philadelphia that was tight. Yeah. That was a great fucking Super Bowl 3538. Yeah. Damn that's a good that's gas. So remember the score was so good. You know, But sometimes it sucks right. But not then. Then not only did they put together the best fight card they've ever put together allegedly. then you get a fight like that where it's just like bro. But that's what I'm saying. How many Max Holloway's in the world are there people that are going to get on that best card, be in the most prime spot, like, and then do something phenomenally crazy to shocked the world? Probably like ten fighters in the world, maybe 20, maybe 50. It's a fucking small number though. Small number individuals get that opportunity. Oh that to say Holloway does being a fighter sound appealing to you. Not really. No not in the slightest. Like fuck. Oh that's it. That should be crazy. I guess at some point you kind of have to or like I guess back in the, you know, it's like going to war, you know, it's like, I don't really want to go to war. You shouldn't want to go to war. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. But I think as I mentioned in a previous pod, my balls are on the wall. When it when it comes to. Whatever the fuck I'm doing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah I love, I love watching. Thank God I wasn't born into that or like, you know, I wasn't swept into that pathway going up. Yeah. I think the one reason I think we like war movies so much maybe is like if we were born 30 years ago, we definitely would. Have been maybe, like, drafted. Shit. Yeah, 40 years ago. I don't know how many years it would have been. Yeah, but yeah, fucking World War two, Vietnam, I think World War one. I think those are all drafts. Yeah, the Vietnam for sure. So up till then. Yeah, sure. At least. Yeah for sure. Yeah. My grandfather got drafted. Like that's just like. Yeah I think we went to Afghanistan to. Yeah. There was no draft for that. but they really a lot of patriotism riled up. Yeah. Yeah. For real. Right. Drafted by your spirit in spirit. Got drafted. Yeah. Some it was were on the brink of World War three this past week. Really? Yeah. I think I did see something. I hear something about, I ran or somebody bombing or doing some attack on Israel. I want to say. Yeah, I think the I, I mean, God damn it, like. Okay, this is what I know. Pardon my ignorance. Yeah. Part of my ignorance. But what I think is that. Iran attacked Israel, I think so. And then there was like a lot. Of, Like Israel was, like, outnumbered. So they could, like, be under attack and probably lose, I guess. and it's like, and I heard this at church, too, and I went to church. I don't really go to. All right. It wasn't CPAC, I guess what I'm saying. And they were like, The Islamic people that hate, Israel. So it's like a lot of, like, religious prejudice and hate involved and like, race hate evolved, you know, and then the Israel was going to bomb Iran, I guess, back, like, attack them back. And then if that happened, then like World War three would be like on pretty much. And that like, I guess like it could be somewhat like a proxy or Cold War for like the United States and China based on like who they would support and who they would not support. You know. Because if, you know, we decided to support Israel, then the Chinese could support Iran. And then all of a sudden, like, we're at war with China, and China could just choose to do that with us. Should we go to support Israel? so like, yeah. Dude, what the fuck, y'all? What's wrong with you people? Well, I'm thinking, dude, I'm like allegedly, allegedly. A lot of Iranians hate Israel. I mean, I know it's like, it's crazy cause it's written about across time, but, yeah, there's, like, racial prejudice and shit, you know what I'm saying? There's like, race prejudice that is built into their, you. Know, religious superiority. And you could easily just go in there and stir up conflict if you really wanted to. You know what I'm saying? Within those constraints that already exist in those parts of the countries, if you were trying to, you could just go into Iran and start spewing a lot of, like Israel hate speech and like grow the tension there and then create a war so that, you know, China might be trying to go to war with us through them. Like, who knows? You know what I'm saying? Yeah. What the you know, telling the players at the highest levels what they're doing, Ryan, Ryan, their intentions, the direction they're trying to head. Anyway, what the fuck? Why does anyone do anything? Can we not can we not? Yeah. Why does anyone do anything right. They follow to put them in a better position. I don't know, they want money. Yeah. Control money or. Respect. Money. Power. Respect. You know what I'm saying? That's all they're. Like. That's the only reason you could be stupid. So low. Yeah. Love, you don't want your own respect. It's worth more. Come on Brees bro right I don't know though. But people don't know how to validate themselves or like that's a difficult thing to learn. Yeah. And then also I guess I don't know it just kind of was counteracted with the thought of that to like protect yourself or like if someone this is you, you know, I'm saying to like to bring it back to the, the dishes, loop. It all together, bro. Like, if Jake is if Jake is going to get this, like, does he have more respect for himself if he says something or if it doesn't say something? Because Jake is obviously now as things have gone forward in this, this feud over the last couple weeks, the Jake has like apologized and taken down the diss against Kendrick and Drake is recently just released push ups job and give me 50. Yeah like a couple days ago or yesterday whatever. And now I guess the other question was if you are dissed by Kendrick Lamar or whatever, or stirred up by an external force, do more respect for yourself. If you choose to ignore it or if you respond to it. I guess I kind of comes down to your own individual preference, right? Because like Drake responding was like what everybody wanted. And that's kind of a Cole was saying. Cole's like, people want blood, they want blood, people want blood. Just like, I ain't bout that shit, though. Like I'm like, I'm true individual on my side. But the foundation of my being like, I'm not built on that. Like I don't it doesn't. I did it and I was like, I did it for more. So for the people, for the story, for the narrative and for the spirit of hip hop culture. Yeah, yeah, I'm with you saying. I get it. Man. Like as an individual, as a spirit, as a awareness, as a consciousness like that. Don't jive with that energy, more or less is like the summation of why should I say so? What is it? So which one? You know what I'm saying and which ones right? Is there a right way? I'll link with Jay. Cole, whoever can make the most convincing arguments. Right? Most of the time. You know what I'm saying, Jake? Or this is Jay Cole, right? When you hear those words like it, probably. You know what I'm saying in. Some facet for. Sure. That's for 21 Savage slander. Oh, fuck. Is see. Like 21 probably disagrees with us, you know. Or maybe he doesn't. You know what I'm saying? I don't know, though. But that's the argument would be like, Drake's, like standing on business or like, it also reminds me of Drake's, like, fucking like to kill O'Neil. Like he his body of work, his popularity, like his tap on the meta is the meta. So his shit always sounds the best. So if you go to war with Shaq, like, imagine Damian Lillard being like. Oh my gosh Shaq one on one in the paint. Yeah. Like he. Calls out. His prime. Shaq's like let's play one on one. Bitch just sits back. And backs you down one. Two seconds two two. You're fucked. Why him backwards. First of all I he's gathering with power. Okay, you two. And you realize you done. You realize you fucked up. And there's room for Dame to win that game. Like he's going to shoot threes worth more points. And don't miss. You know what I'm saying. You got to be perfect. You gotta be perfect. Be perfect. But yeah his Drake is a monster. As far as his hold and tap into the hip hop. What is hip hop? The game. Yeah. What everyone's listening to talking about for sure. So yeah, I guess, but then I guess to bring that back to what we were talking about before, that was the like, so what if I just want to go to war, you know what I'm saying? But then why? I was just thinking about why and then why was partially that question we were just talking about in regards to someone's going to try to start shit with you or whatever, like your response to that. But then also I guess there's like a what's the other motivation behind why would you want to start wars or start conflicts globally on a global level? You know, say, why would you want that? It's no one because, right. You don't want to start wars and shit unless you're like profitable, right? Or whatever the fuck profitable. Not even monetarily, but in some way. You gain something, whatever it is. I'm trying to understand. Like if the hate between Islam and Israel, that's like. That's, That's just that's Christianity versus Islam, which is what it's another word for that. Muslim. Yeah. Most Muslim cultures are very or, Where Muhammad is, their is their god. That's the religion that I'm speaking of and that's the religion of Islam. Like, I've, I definitely heard it called that. We can Google around. I feel like, there's another word for their religion. Let's look it up. But anyways, if that's if that's what it's boiling down to. Like, do you think that those two religions would truly want like a religious war? You know what I'm saying? That doesn't sound like that. Sounds like religion as in like organized faith. That doesn't sound like faith. You know what I'm saying? And I guess that's what they always said was the motivation behind terrorists. Is that, like, their religion does say that like, violence is more appropriate and necessary than like the Christian. Not, I guess, is where we're looking at other words for Muslim or Islam. Yeah. The Islamic faith. Or that is for Islam. Yeah. I think it is Islam. Right. Yeah. Do you think that's what's going on? It's just like. They're feuding over faith. Yeah, I think yes. I think feuding over faith is just another way of saying like, belief or control of what's right or, you know what I'm saying was the word. The truth is how we should be acting and behaving. You know, I'm saying it's arguments over that the policies that are in place that dictate how we should act and behave. But all that stems from your beliefs, and that's is another word like for your faith. Or, you know, I'm saying your value structure, your hierarchy of morality, what's right, what's fair. Yeah. What's just. That's not just. Fuck that. I know what just is. Yeah. Is is an eye for an eye. Just. Mathematically, yes. Mathematically 100%. But I think that, like Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Code of Hammurabi. Eye for an eye. The whole world goes blind. Let's not forget who says that. Yeah. Shakespeare. Some shit on time itself. Yeah. That's wilin. So you know what's the right path. Love is ultimately the answer. That's what. Come on. That's what. good morning. Hello ladies. What is warm again. That's what I'm talking about. That's what. That's what I believes. that's the ultimate things bro. Yeah. That's why I like I kind of side with J. Cole. I definitely see what Jacob is talking about. To bring it back to a more tangible, easy to a easy to understand metaphor. It's like the rap game. I, I definitely feel empathize empathy more towards J. Cole insofar as how I would go about it and how I would feel about it and go about it. But at the same time, I am appreciative. I do see what Drake's talking about or how he's handling it in his response. And ultimately I was thinking about it again from another perspective. It's kind of like a removed from that emotion, but just like objectively, it's like these motherfuckers, all these motherfuckers get a lot of plays, you know, saying everyone's playing this shit and talking about it right now was like, damn, the geniuses like this, this premeditated, or is it just like rap beef? And it's like life competition. beef is always profitable, always profitable. Hey, fresh stuff a b talking shit. Slander and gossip. Jake and Jocko. Jake and Josh. Drake and Jake. We're playing into that already with the biggest, the what's where, where they're like competing with the ping pong and going bar for bar on tracks with each other. Like they were kind of already trying to kind of profit off of that competition spirit, like, oh, who's better like Drake or Drake or the kind of what I think we want to start that conversation because it's good for hip hop, it's good for their brand, it's good for the monetary value of them if they're popular in the media, you know? so I definitely think that some of the feuds throughout time have been like, you know, we can keep this going because we're making a ton of money, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I'm really hating on you, but I'm going to bother you on this rap shit. That's kind of what you said. It was a basketball player because it's like yeah dude. Like if we're going to hoop I'm going to fucking murder you. But like it doesn't mean that I don't like, you know, necessarily fuck with you or like that. I just respect you as a player. Yeah. Exactly. But then there ain't no friends. Yeah. When it's going down, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. Or it's like like a fighter's series you know. Yeah. It's like X fighter versus Y fighter three you know. So it's. It's like oh shit. Here we go again. It's like they keep making money on the same fight. Yeah. Yeah. Right. You know, I'm saying. Because of. Whatever series of this tracks, you. Know see we go. How's he go respond in this round. Yeah a whole lot of this. So it is profitable. So but I do just like personally I was like, I don't know if I give enough of a fuck. You say you. Shouldn't. You shouldn't. Write. Yeah. Drake said that was exploit. So he is a. Drake said a wise man once said nothing at all. Boom. Like, there it is. You know what I'm saying? Drake himself said. That. Yeah. Yeah. And he's been in beefs for a minute. A couple beefs, multiple beefs throughout his career. Before we move on, just I do think that, like the argument that like, you should say something back or you should respond, it's like, I just think that there's two there's two things. The problem is that there's a fork in the road. You can just always take the high road and you're probably like, I mean, you Jesus took the high road, you know what I'm saying? It's like, no wrong there, you know? But like the other the other side of the argument is a fork in the road where, like, sometimes you're being childish and petty and like, I've seen Drake be like that and it's unattractive. It's clearly not how you should be. You know what I'm saying? It's a lower frequency, but then there's like also something about like the show Vikings. It's like there's like they have a religious like need to like be their fullest self to like, conquer as much land as they can or head west and explore like grow to their biggest extent. And they're willing to like, be violent about it and like, I think that there's something not necessarily right about that. But like. Like if someone crosses your boundary, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It has its. Place. Yeah, it has its place somewhere. Yeah. It's like the as you were talking about it, I think it was, I was conceptualizing it more about like, kind of just like the short the sword in the sheath metaphor. It's like, oh, you shouldn't be responding to everybody who disses you and fucking, you know what I'm saying? Trying to slaughter and slaughter everybody and every response all the time with every, every bit of critique that comes your way, or negative feedback or whatever it is or anybody trying to get clout or whatever, because that's a lot of common motifs that rappers rap about. It's like, I'm not gonna get a response out of me like, the fuck yeah, right, K I'd make you bigger, better rate, you know what I'm saying? All right? I make a mountain out of a molehill kind of shit. But you still. You shouldn't be responding everybody. But whenever the time comes and, like, it's unjust enough or. You know what I'm saying? Or like the the slanders, I don't know, I guess is there at a point at which the slander gets too much or the, the injustice is so gross that you have to respond and like I said, set the record straight or, you know, I'm saying like, speak words of light in like the darkness and like, oh fuck, illuminate everything. I think you have to be able to do that, but you shouldn't be doing it all the time. I think that's, that's kind of kind of where I sit, I think that's. There's something about rhythm that makes like when I think about why that feels right to me, because it's like there's times for a fucking bass drop. And. The beat changes, you know, and the like, you can't just bass drop every fucking hit of the beat, you know what I'm saying? It's like out of rhythm. Yeah. Then like in the feud also, this brings it to another point. I was thinking about it about like all this beef in disc tracks and shit. It's like at what point or who I guess the people. But like, who determines who wins? You know, like, everyone has their own individual God. Himself, I think. Right. But everyone has their own individual, I guess, perception of who won the fight. If it comes down to decision, there's I guess there's. A thing going on. It's like you're either right or wrong, though. And then if you're wrong, your frequency is lower and you're deterred from your personal path. So then there's, there's a there's a selfish moral obligation to be right in your thinking. And so if you're willing to be diluted or lie to yourself like that's then on you, you know, but I think like, so who determines who's right? It's like general consciousness, you know what I'm saying? Objective. Yeah. The people. Yeah, yeah. I feel you. But like, yeah, there's always going to be people that like disagree with whatever anybody says. You know what I'm saying for sure. For sure. But I think that they know deep. Down it's like you're. Wrong. but. Maybe, maybe there's no right or wrong at all. Because, yeah, who knows, I guess. Who determines who wins between Drake and Kendrick, Rick Ross or whatever? Because they're all just like saying true things, right? I guess no one's, like, grossly lying or saying and saying some shit. But then even out of all the realm of true things that they're saying, like, what's the the best one. You know, saying which one. Wins? Which one's like. Oh, that's the truth, Look at truth uppercut. In this fight that they're doing. True though, like, how do you how do you really gauge it? It's all perception. It's all what you think and what you believe, what you value, what you personally value. Because like I remember cause Drake's been in a couple examples. So there's like, the meek Eminem example. Okay. That's one where everyone the common consensus is that Eminem just fucking slop ganged his ass on Killshot or whatever. I think it's called Killshot. MJG came in a video in a song dissing Eminem, and then Eminem comes back and just ends it right then and there with his response to that beef. And it was like common commonly agreed upon amongst everyone in hip hop. They're like, oh yeah, Eminem. I think even AMG K. Said, they said that. Yeah, you got me on that one. What are we supposed to do? They got me on that. When I poked the goat. In the goat Beamer. Throw it out, I fucked up. So like that's I guess that's obvious. But then yet with this, like, Drake was in a beef earlier in his career, multiple beefs. I think he started out I remember hearing back in college, this is how to be 2011, 2012. He was in like a somewhat of a beef with I think it was, coming out of good music. Okay. Fish or some small beef or some shit, but either way, it's just like promotion for both of them. You know, I, I'm saying any press is good press. So I think it is somewhat strategic throughout hip hop culture. But he started with that. Then he had the Meek Mill beef as well. And Drake's career, I think in that beef, like I think Meek Mill was kind of winning or he kind of won, I don't know, he should have won, right? Like, am I? Have I? It was like a fucking. I think culture thinks Drake wins. I think he did because he's he dropped the song and charged up and then back to back. Back to back was crazy. It's a great song. And it was so back to. Back, it was. Like culturally we were shocked to get another. Disc stealing this shit about. The other. One was. But this is what I got to do to make y'all rap. I'm like. So but then okay, so that's perfect example again. So now we're at another fork where Drake drops the drops a this track, and then Meek Mill doesn't respond. So he's just like, I can't drop another one. Yes, but it's like a. Wise man says nothing at all. Like, is that how Meek Mill played it in that situation? Because ultimately it's like, I'm fucking your bitch. No part of my friend, with all. Due respect, there's no. One part of my friends. And with all due respect. Yeah, no, I'm with dude. Culture. Crucify Jesus. Like all. Cultures. Wrong all the time. The wrong all the time. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, because people are stupid. Yeah, people are idiots. And I think that Drake knew he. I think it was the same Thomas Shelby moment of like, if I draw it back to back today, I'm going to win like it's over. And so I think he just like shot his shot to try to win the beef. and then like successfully did so. But that doesn't mean that he was like spirit to spirit right in any of the things that he did. You can always like, if you're having an argument with someone, you could pull out a gun and shoot them. Like argument over, you know, looks like my my point is, the only point left from my point of view is the only point of view now. Yeah. Like you could do that. And, and, you know, let's say, like, you're, having an argument over a land settlement like you and this fucking other person, and you're like. Where do they draw the line of what's your land versus my land? Right? And then what's fair in that? You just kill the other landowner. Oh, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Take all this land like I don't mind. That's a lot easier. And I would say. Like, from that point, you grow into an empire and and now you have the biggest land settlement, and the more begets more. And now you're number one. But that doesn't mean that like, you were like spirit to spirit, like you were wrong. There in the spiritual realm, you lost. but like, even though in the tangible realm you're still trucking. Along ultra. Cruising for a bruising. Though, ultimately. Right? Yeah. And I think that's Ozarks or like I think that's Drake too, to a degree. I think he's always been like, yeah, the sentiment of fucking your bitch. It's like, person to person. How does that makes you even more shitty like, that makes you more wrong. Like it doesn't aid your argument. You know what I'm saying? But, like, who decides what right is? Because if you like culture, have it, it's whoever's coolest or whoever called. People want blood. Yeah, people want blood. Whoever pulled the. Gun out, they want you to kill them in the Coliseum. You know what I'm saying? Oh, boy. That's high. Yeah, that's. That's what we want to see, quote unquote. You know. Savages want to be entertained. Savages, bro. Savage nature. So who who who determines who wins? It's objective reality. Kind of. The head of the snake is like your best bet. If you're going to choose, like the violence. Are you going to choose the the war? You know what I'm saying? It's like if there's a snake in your house, like at some point it's bad for you and your family to let that snake be in your house. You know what I'm saying? At some point, you're not loving everybody at all. It's like love's the ultimate answer. Or sometimes like, like someone's crossing a boundary repetitively. It's like you have to, like, teach them that what they're doing is wrong for the love of them. And you need to love yourself by protecting yourself from that damage. so it's like, what's what's the most applicable love, I think, is the proper argument for like what who, who should when it's like, who's within the constraints of the story. Like who's applying the most love to the situation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. or who's able to, to speak truth. And that's shot that points towards the highest love. You know what I'm saying. Yeah. Because I was just thinking about it. Another example just popped in my head about, Eminem in eight mile when he wins, like he wins the rap battle at the end of the end of the movie. Another spoiler alert. Sorry, he wins the rap battle at the end of the movie. But he does so with like up front truth. Like he raps about his own flaws and his own downfalls and shortcomings and takes that away from his opponent more or less. So he's like, like, this is true and this is true, and I'm aware and I'm on it like some fucking armor and like, and this is true about you. This is true about you. So like, what truths do you have now to to combat my truths? You know, I'm saying he didn't have shit to say. True superiority. Yeah. Because he. Yeah, he embraced all of his flaws and. The negative side of truth. You know what I'm saying? Where you fall short. Yeah. It's like. Yeah. I mean, I whatever, blah blah blah blah blah blah. I'm, I do fall short of this or I fuck up on this. But you know what? He did shoot himself. Yeah, yeah. And I ain't working two jobs and all that shit, you know? So, And then sleeping. On my mom's couch. Or whatever. Yeah, bro. Yeah. I want to do the bit with you right now. That seems like a lot of trash in himself, you know? But, but then the other thing he did was that he was like. But I'm telling the truth here. Like, you are lying. Like you go to private school and you do this and this and this, and your real name is Clarence, bro. Like, you're you're not even telling the truth here. Like, so then now that we know who you really are and what your real voices, and clearly you've heard my voice, it's like, what do you have to say? It literally didn't have anything to say. Like he never. He choked up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think all that was. Yeah. Because of the the true his his yeah. His not manipulation of the truth but his transmutation of objective truth things and being able to use them as like, armor and a sword. You know what I'm saying? He's like this, like my own faults. I'm aware that his armor and then, like, things that are true about you, that are maybe contrary to what you can like you, what you claim to be or what, like the narrative that you put forward. It's like, here's all the holes in your fucking logic of life. And saying. And like the myths, the miscues and, I don't know where you fault not fall short, but. Things that are, not as they seem with yourself. Contradictions even, or whatever it may be. But yeah, he's the truth in both ways. In that movie. He definitely won that shit. Yeah. Yeah, no, for sure. I think that, Yeah, he's been in multiple beefs as well and throughout his career, it's a thing, I don't know, his just his discography of beef as well, but I know he's ever since the fucking 90s. And seeing toy shops, toy. Soldiers is about some beef and shit. Yeah. Yeah. So it's been, it's been in hip hop since the 80s which makes sense to me. Sounds about right. Pretty much pretty much hip hop's entirety more or less. Yeah. Right. And been around that long. Yeah I mean we just shouldn't but should it be about, you know, I'm like, it shouldn't be about that. But I'm like, what should it be about? Love that gospel music in the in the love songs. It's not a hip hop, right hip hop hips. It's a different vein of expression of of individual expression. That's like when I think of hip hop, it's. Yeah, because it's funny, because the feud exists within hip hop, but I don't think it's in country. I don't think it's in rock. I don't think it's in fucking jazz. So I think. Motherfucking jazz musicians are. Probably fucking going after it. On each other, on the sax. With. Some cool shit. Yeah, that'd be fucking ripping, I don't read them. Or jazz, beach music, EDM feud, bro. EDM beef. Is there EDM beef? I don't think so, but well, you could. Do some crazy shit like remix his songs. Okay, it is, but. Crazy or different drops in there. Yeah. Or funny drops, I don't know. Yeah right. Girls dumb. So goofy drops. You can do some crazy shit. There's artistic outlet there, right? Yeah. I still I don't think it's as prevalent. You know, I think hip hop is just like the 11.1. Don't think anyone even comes close and far insofar as diss track. So I guess with that being said, we were talking about kind of what is hip hop can represent. So when I think about hip hop, I think it's kind of like. It's kind of free form or it's kind of like rebellious to a degree. All right, I think. I don't know, maybe now, maybe it started as like rebellious, just rapping about your life. But I think what is rapping about your life is that's all like NWA was kind of doing, you know what I'm saying? Like Ice Cube started back in the day, early days of hip hop, the more folks were starting out killing shit or taking over culture. Really just talking about. About your life. I think what that is, is kind of like your perception of your or your outlook, your creative lens, your ability to interpret information and then ultimately being the winner. So it's like your ability to process information, articulate that process. And I guess. Next body be the champion. Yeah. Healthy. Yeah. All that is predicated on you embodying like things that make you win. ultimately, like, simply put, you get the job or you get the job done, or you get the whatever, you get the money, you get the you do the hard task. I think that carrying the energy of accomplishing the hard task and being the more fucking man, like doing the fucking shit is like kind of braggadocious. I think that's kind of like hip hop is built on a little bit. Yeah, I can't help but feel like there's like it talks to the ego a lot. But there's like a prettier way to put it, which is where like Kanye is like if you're a fan of me you're a fan of you. Like but being a fan of yourself is that ego rooted. It's like almost like you do need to want to see yourself win. Like you do want to like ego or not ego. But hip hop makes me be like, like I'm fucking. I'm doing the hard task. Like. Yeah, I'm getting in there. As well as my confidence or my attitude or like, gives me some kind of charged energy, you know? Do I need that? It's like, what's the if I didn't have that, I would be a lot more passive and neutral energy going into all my situations. It's like, do you need that swell of confidence to be accomplished? I don't know, maybe just feels good or it's a high vibration to have that confidence, the confidence that that comes from the accomplishing of tasks, the doing of the thing. Yeah. When the thing is done, it feels fucking great. Feel like you're the man. You fucking mow the lawn and do the dishes. You're just like, fuck yeah, and did that shit. You look at an empty sink. Whether it was like full of dirty dishes before or like. A clean house. A dirty room than that afterwards you're like, fuck yeah, on a small scale. And then back to Calloway or whatever. Holloway. Big scale. How does he feel? Holy shit. That's a big scale. How would I be? Yeah, like in that moment, like, I guess every individual would have their own. But in my mind, when I'm like, if I were to if Justin were to be a fighter and lived through that moment of fucking. Let's meet in the middle of the ring, UFC 300, then we're fucking just trading haymakers and then I fucking land one like to quit that. It would. There would definitely be like, hip hop music playing in my head, like metaphorically or, you know what I'm saying? Like at that frequency, at that high of a level like that confidence of I just did the thing. You know, saying there's some horns playing and, blowing. Yeah. No. Yeah, I feel you. Let's get on with it. About my brother. Yeah, bro. Gotta be somebody. Jumping on the fucking ring top. Yeah, dude. Oh, my heart's beating fast. Me too. I just upwards of the octagon. Yeah. And a fucking. Blood in the leaves is playing. Over the loudspeakers. Who do you. Think they are. Max Holloway listen to music before he fought that fight. That's right. That's it. I think there's that's my initial reaction. Just like but like objectively like, oh, maybe not. Maybe he's not the person who listens to music. But that's my first initial reaction is absolutely. Yeah, I don't know him like that. But I think all the I don't know, I think all the fighters were kind of needs some sort of brain dance to get them into that fucking ballroom. Like I'm about to fucking charge out of the gate. Turn the governors off, dude. Like, let me go in the fucking war state. You know, that's a. Go to battle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think to help get you there, maybe everyone's different, but I would assume that music is a critical ingredient in that stew. In that stew brewed. I feel like that's what I would say in my district. I'd be like. You know. What is hip hop do for you? Let me tell you what it does for me. And then you just fuckin, you know, shit on my governors and fucking express like, what does hip hop do for anybody that's like, I don't know. I don't know what people think about that, you know what I'm saying. Yeah that's crazy. Hip hop is so popular nowadays too. Yeah I think it's got to be the most popular. Like it's a bad. Rap to like do you remember like when we were kids hip hop can get shit. Could get could have gotten shit on really easily. There's people that like you like rap. Back in the day. Yeah. Now it's kind of like Drake's really integrated into our mainstream, like a lot, you know what I'm saying? so it's, I think that there's less, like, shade being thrown around for hip hop, but people definitely thought of it as like a less than music genre for a while. I think compared to, like, the great love songs like fucking or. Fucking like Aerosmith and shit. Yeah. AC, DC. What you know about music, bro? Yeah. Then Drake's like, you know, Michael Jackson like the Beatles. The Beatles. Yeah. People are like that hip hop was like a subgenre compared to the greats. maybe was like a fad. Yeah, they everybody thinks that about, like, the new style of music that emerges because how many of, I don't know, hip hop? And then there's I guess that was predicated on like, rock and jazz and shit that started way before that and then hip hop. And then there's like house music and EDM music and like, now there's fusions of all kinds of genres. And, is. That the nature of things? this new, new, new. So slightly. Different variations. Oh, big variation change. Oh, slightly different variation change from that. And it's just like keeps on changing. Everyone's just living in the what is good music. When they were growing up, it's all they were listening to or whatever they're listening to, whatever they had the ability to and access to. Yeah, it's like some of that music was great. Truly great. Yeah. People heard 80s music and was like, you know, y'all don't know shit about the Grateful Dead. Like throughout time, people shit on the new stuff, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That's always a common motif. Yeah. Right. Yeah. No. Like your whole grandpa. That's all. There's something about old stuff that sounds old. Like when you're a kid, you're like, I want this new shit. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, that's something different. Something different from my parents. So I can identify myself as my own individual thing. Yeah, we do. Want maybe a little bit of that's going on for sure. For sure. My own individual take on reality. You ever do see a TV show that looks like it's from the 80s and you're like, watching this? This is like the camera quality. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like. The act, what they're wearing. You know? Yeah, yeah. And you're just like, no way, bro. But that could have been like the best show in the 80s. You know what I'm saying? Oh yeah. The height of technology. Yeah. The fucking cusp. Cutting edge of where the hell we were at. But I think, yeah, there's something about the guy. I feel it just a little bit as I get older. Like, you know what I'm saying? I feel like I posted an Instagram photo of Payne Manning and Reggie Wayne. I was just like, man, I fucking starting to sound like an old head. Like. This is what I call a quarterback. That's my quarterback. Yeah. Who's that? Is that these kids? Yeah. It's like they're in the era of Patrick Mahomes, you know? Yeah, there was an era. There was a time where I where I vicariously drafted Peyton Manning through you when I didn't even play fantasy football. And you were playing fantasy football. And that man had like five touchdowns in week one. It was awesome. I was like, yeah, brother. Yeah, dude, let's go. This is. This quarterback. That's a quarterback right there. Yeah. Like a first round draft pick. Let's go. Back when you said quarterbacks in the first round. Oh my gosh. Right height dude I like you said Peyton Manning in the first time or. That sentence almost doesn't even make sense. I think you drafted him. Well let's go guys. Let's go. Just proud of myself. Like maybe 2015 or some shit. You were just playing with my team. Or like you're not playing with the team your teammates. Let's go. I think you're in Amelia's league. Yeah, yeah, it's family league. Yeah. Times, times moving is common motifs that keep on playing out. And it's crazy to be on or too crazy to be on both sides of common motifs. I happen to kids and adults. It's like being the kid who's like, not wanting to listen to and watch things that they like seem to old and dated and not understanding your parents references. And then you get older, and then you become the one who have references that the young people don't understand. Yeah. And it's like, oh shit. You watch happen to yourself. Tyler slid on me. Son of a. Bitch. There it goes. There's a way to embrace it, though. There's a way to be. It's all you can do. Everybody, all kids want to be a grown man. This is way to be fucking Ragnar Lothbrok. You know what I'm saying? Be fucking can think about that later. I think there is a way to be the balance of both. Or, like, carry, carry the weight of both the grown man and the the youthful soul. You know what I'm saying? Because some people could be an old soul or like, have be like a grumpy old man in their 20s, you know, or whatever may be. You know, somebody like that. You know, somebody like that. Yeah. This carries going to be energy around. It just sucks. You seeing a South Park episode like, Stan just starts thinking that everything sucks. Yeah, everything. Everything. Bro, just sounds like shit to me. I don't know what it's like. Yeah, they don't give a shit. It's just actual pieces of shit. Like just talking shit. I couldn't understand anything they were saying, bro. I was a shit. Yeah, he. Doesn't like anything he used to like. Like guess favorite for cynical. It's favorite. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You can let your spirit get, like, cynical and everything sounds and tastes bad. That's one thing that I think I've been able to digest about perception lately is that, like, Like. Like when someone thinks that everything is shit, like all the music in the movie suck and the TV shows suck in the restaurant sucks, and the fucking everything sucks all the time. It's like they're actually perceiving that. Like it actually sucks to them. It's not that they're just like saying it and belittling it. Being dramatic. Yeah, and just like lying and lying. Shane, you know what I'm saying? Like in their perception, it actually sucks. But I think it's because they're doing poor perception maintenance. But sometimes our perception gets fucking rocked, like, you know, something terrible happens to you. You know, the lens or like, your lens is dirty or just a different shade or the setting was on your HUD. Your POV of life is just they're altered. Yeah. So you literally just see that. Yeah. Right. So you can't really just like tell someone that wrong per se. Yeah. Because they actually they're actually going through that, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. Or being in their in their own universe, we're all this in our own life. I remember realizing like or thinking about it back in the day. I was working at Gold's Gym, I think, and I was talking to one of my coworkers about it, but I was like, everyone's perception is like everyone's their own individual like world. Everyone's in their own universe, really. And like, because if someone sees this box and it's like to me it's red. But to some people who are colorblind, so it's not red or whatever, maybe it's like they just literally don't see it. Is it objectively red? Yeah. Right. Yeah, that's the thing. That's what it's like, right? I it's perception, man. It's like you haven't you have an obligation to be objective. You should align yourself with objective truth in my opinion. I mean. You live in your own deluded universe, I guess, if you want. Yeah. Because if you have, I guess it comes down to if you have ten people and then nine of us say that's a red and one person says it's not, and it's like, okay, well then that one person's probably their anomaly or just but for the most part, objectively we can say that that's red. But but if it were the other way, if it'd be flipped, then I'd be like a freak or I'd be like the minority. Like, is out of, like, the objective norm. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's like, we just we count for you. Like you're in the statistics. You're just like, anomaly. Yeah. And all of us have that to some capacity. We're all just in our own world here, perceiving things in our own way. But I think you can adjust your perception. You can't necessarily make yourself not colorblind. But you can't. Change the way you look at shit. That can dramatically change how you feel about the entire song and dance we got going on here. Yeah, right. Maybe it's a nice, constant reminder that your perception isn't always the truth. Like every time I see red. Even if it's. Yeah, yeah, even if it is like I see red. But like, I'm not sure if I see red, but I know I think I'm seeing red for sure. Yeah, that's definitely going on right. I know you can make anything, anything that's like when Kendrick, I think says like God of ourselves first and foremost. It's kind of what I think, like magical. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I think you, Yeah. You have to like, manager, like your whole being, like, you have to, like, orchestrate this thing and, like, manage it. Well, like. If you let your perception or your, view on the world or like yourself become cynical, then it, like, distorts your whole perception. And then make sure you're like, you know, it's a slippery slope. You know what I'm saying? Big time. Then you kind of owe it to yourself to, like, do the right thing for yourself, to align yourself with that objective truth. Yeah. Try to see the truth or try to see what's really here, right? To the best of your ability. Yeah. Think because there's like goodness in there. It's like it would make your existence better to do so. And you're kind of driving yourself away from that milk and honey by like it's like you don't want to pour salt on the wound or peroxide on the wound. It's like find truth. It's like oh okay. This is better. So like like don't tell me the truth. Don't show me the truth. It's like you think you don't want it, but you do. You know what I'm saying? like that burn on that cut when you put that on there. Yeah. It's like you want that. You want all that acid burn when it clean your. You don't want cuts on your arms. You know what I'm saying? you just you want it to clean you. Yeah. Maybe every time you take one of those psychedelic experiences, it's like you get a bath. But then that in that bath, it's like, if you have cuts, it's going to hurt. You want to go into that bath pure and like, ready to take a bath. Yeah. Hopefully it's a bath. You know, you're like. Oh is it relaxing. He's like oh okay I know all of this. I accept all this a lot of. Clarity and this is what's going. On here. Okay I get it I get it I don't get it. I only. Understand I never could get it. But I get it here and that's enough. It's what it's like. Yeah. You get that fucking 4D perception like oh I think 3D all the time. Like, oh my God, I don't even see this fourth dimension. No, don't really. Whoa. This thing is here all the time, This thing's crazy. Yeah, yeah. So get that perception right. Let's go. That's what it's about. And that's why management so important. It's like you're managing a thing you can't even see, you know. and. These little reminders of this thing is so much bigger than you. Yeah. Worry about your frequency in there that your words are powerful. You gotta worry about that. Your relationships comprise your being, too. Like you got to worry about, like, if you're unaligned with objective truth, you will solely deter from your most powerful path. All these things are fucking, like, I don't know. I played video games for like five hours yesterday, bro. I wasn't managing or maintenance or any of that, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's very easy to not do that job. But that was like scheduled rest time. So you could say it's you know it's like you need to have some chill time recovery. I was contemplating how dangerous the video games were while dangerously enjoying them. It's a slippery slope this love slipping. This alcohol get you. Drunk. Yeah. Yeah. This is fucking 100 proof, baby. Yeah. Big body shots. Do we need to get over to the gym, dog? Yeah. Let's go. so clock in and go clock into the Plato school. Plato school of lifting matter. Pick it up and put it down. School. Pick it up and put it down. Hell yes, bro. Such a man. This was a. Good. We talked about all the things I want to talk. I want to talk about that Mega. Man fight with the beef that's going on. Rap beefs keep keep doing you. I don't know, but what the fuck's going on with them beef. So was how much of its planned or what's going on with any of it. Yeah. Either way we're all listening to it and talking about it. So I guess we all win. I don't know, we'll see what house I with J. Cole as my dog I yeah I agree right. Like we'll see how Kendrick responds. I don't want to be a fighter. Yeah unless you need to but I don't know. We'll see. We'll see who has a who has the final say or what what society deems in the next couple of weeks. We'll see what happens. Yeah. Be interesting regardless. Entertaining godless. Some more hip hop for everybody. Everyone's entertained. Doing well. I guess I'm cool either way, I'm cool. Listen to Joey Rock. I'm like, man, yeah, if I listen. Anybody to that Drake song from my body, that energy of like. Driving give me political. Like is that bad for my energy? No, I guess I guess as long as there's, I think there's a line between entertainment and, like, influence. you know, I'm saying. Damn. Well, I think we should let them sit on that. Sit on it.
