Yo, bro, it costs more than if. If my kid, like, played like, private lacrosse or private soccer. It's crazy, right? Yo, bro, Mad bread for cheerleading, bro. I mean, it's cool. You got the. You got the coaches, you got the meets. No, we don't got the uniforms. Competitions. Oh, come. Yeah, but they go to like, nationals and shit. And like, you got to do all this fundraising. Fundraising. Oh, we killed it. But. But yo, bro, they. I want to say they raised like over 40 bands this year. But yo, like, bruh, it's like we doing fundraising the whole year. Like, yo, all the parents are like, thank God this is over. All of them like, yo, thank God. They're like, yo, like. And then even then they smack you with like, the extra, like, miscellaneous prices, like, charges at the end. Like, here. Well, we need this sweatshirt, this tracksuit that cost 195. And the. We need another tracksuit. They got the one from last year, the one from. Well, they line this with gold and. The tracksuit, yo, bro. And then when you get the tracksuit, bro, it's like. And then you see like the tracksuit's eye, but it's not. It's. I. I mean, it's just. I. You gotta get them the dark sport collab. You gotta. You gotta bling the team out. I mean, yo, this is their team colors right here. That'd be kind of fire. And yo, they're good, though. They nice. Like, I knock on front, like, they ain't good. They. They. They really good, right? But yeah, the cost, man, Bread for cheerleading, bro. Yo, well, I mean, everything is exponentially expensive through the roof in general. Yeah. So I can only imagine. Yo. And team sports for kids because they're like, yo, we know the kids want to do it. And the parents will pay anything to get the kids to do it, people. One of the moms like, yeah, because she's in ninth grade and she already on the varsity squad, right? And one of the mom's like, yeah, they tried to call my daughter up last year, and me and my husband told them no because we ain't want to pay the bread another year. It was like, can't do it. Can't do it. We didn't want to pay the bread again, dude. It's crazy. It's crazy. I mean, I. I remember baseball. Baseball. I just had the catcher's equipment alone back then. We're talking early 2000s. Yeah, but you buying this one time, bro. That's what I'm saying. Just on that. And spending the bread on that. And now you have. For stuff like that, you have annual fees. Yo, but it's like. No, but I mean, like, through the course of the season, there was mad shit to pay for. What else? Yo, they get new jerseys every year. They get all of this clothes every year. Like, they got, like, I. So we fundraise so much bread that they get, like, the. Oh, tonight's. They send off party for Nationals, right? So we got. I gotta pull up in there real quick, right? So what are you bringing? Is it like a bake. Bake sale? You bringing anything? Nah, I don't even think I. Nah, nah, I ain't gotta bring that. And they. So look, they give them this package with like, mad shit, right? Like. And it's like. But like, we fundraise enough where we don't have to pay for it. But if we didn't fundraise enough, like, some people when the schools don't fundraise enough, that's like another 300. As they were walking in, they would have grabbed their hand real quick right when they're going by, hey, come here real quick. Let me talk to you. What you got on you? But look, we fundraise enough where they go to Disney for two days and all that. That's sick. Like, you know what I mean? So, like, at Nationals, like, after. As a little kid, that's exciting. Like, after National Zova, they still going to Disney for two. Two days. Like, my daughter been. She. She spoiled as she. She been to Disney like, six times. But yeah, after. After the. After the Olympias, you were saying, too. Yeah, yeah, she. You know, they've been. She's been to Disney, man. Times like the. The. The little one, she'd been to Disney, too, like, a good amount of times. Like four. And actually, no, you know what? It's probably. Even now, it's probably six. Six. Because Brooklyn. Been there a couple. But. Yeah, bro, that's where we at with. With that. But yo, enough about me. What you got going? We gonna get into me in a second. What you got going on? Because I ain't talk to you in a minute, bro. I know, man. So I saw you at the event on Saturday, which was sick. It was good to see a lot of faces that I remember because not going to Bevs and not shooting a lot in the fitness industry besides, like, for supplement brands, you know, you miss out on the people that. Yeah, the fact that you don't train there, it's like. Yeah, it's a whole community that you don't have anymore. Yeah, it's weird. It's weird to go back there because. There is a community there. Yeah, it is. And yo, it's not just a gym. Yo. Shouts to Bevs for the extension of the leg room. How good does that look? Oh, yo, bro, but it's not like they only put leg equipment back there. They added a whole nother rack of. To a full blown rack of dumbbells going down the whole wall. You got the shoulders in the front of the leg, which is nice. They need. Dude, he needed that expansion. It was crazy. Dude, he. Yo, cuz, he's like. He's like, yo, check out the back. I'm like, what? He's like, oh, go check out the back over by the leg room. And I'm like, oh, I did see a post where you. Where they said you ex. Where you said you expanded like 2500 square FE. I turned the corner, I said, oh, oh. I mean, listen, when you. When you figure out how much. I think it was like an extra 25002000 square feet. In theory, it's not that much, but it makes. With how much you get to spread everything out and make that in there. It looks huge. Yo, in there it made so much of a difference because it has so much equipment and like, he keeps adding more equipment and it's dope stuff. He keeps adding too. He's not like picking up garbage pieces like some gyms. Even Vincenzo shout out to Vincenzo over there at South Shore. Like, Vincenzo just picked. Picked up a bunch of ill pieces. Some gyms don't pick up like the pieces we want. Like, they be picking up dumb. Like. Yeah, I mean, but Steve picked up some good. Well, for a little while he was getting rid of some of the, like the old Nautiluses. Yes. Breaking ones. Everyone was hurt. Certain was like, oh, get rid of it. The funny part is those are the joints Vin just caught. Vin just caught a whole. Yo, he caught probably, I want to say 12 Nautilus pieces. The belt driven one. So good. Yeah, so good. The angles, the way the. The way the load feels, the. On the. On the actual muscle pause. But no Diddy. Yeah. I was like, whoa, that was crazy. That was crazy. I had to save myself on that one. I don't even be running up to pause, but that one was crazy. Throw it out. That was great. But yeah, it was great to see you there, bro. I was like, oh, look at rizzles. I saw. Well, I. They announced you. I saw you in the corner. I was like, oh, that's my man. That's why I Had to sneak around the edge of the ring. I was like, back there, I don't be like. You notice when they announce me how I don't sit there and take all the time up? Everyone else does. Yeah, because, yo, I mean, your guys. I've been doing this for, like, six straight years. The seminar, right? But it's not even just that. I know everyone don't want to hear me talk about a whole soliloquy about a whole bunch of shit they really don't care about. And I'm not saying that these people didn't have dope stories they were telling. Like, they mean something to me, but I know some of these people, they. They don't care about these stories. So, you know, I go up there and I got some jokes and shit. Like, oh, Frank Seppi announced me. Andre Ferguson always got, like, 18 wins, three honors. And I'm the. I grabbed Mike, and I'm just like, nah, man. I'm just one of the expediters. I catch y'all backstage and like, yeah, then I just said some other shit. And then I was just like, what I say? I forgot what else I said. Oh. I was like, yeah, we got new toys in here. Y'all go check out the new 2500 square feet. All right? And I got off the mic. But then when they do the Q and A's. Because, look, that's another part. When they do the Q A, I know a lot of the questions be for me, so I already know I'm not gonna blow up my wind here. Like, nah. Like, there's no reason, you know, you're. Gonna get the mic again. They gonna ask me questions that they don't want me to answer. So cool. Like, I mean, I'm not. I'm not a mike hog. Plus, like, me, I want to hear Jay Cutler talk, man. Me, I want to hear me like, yo, so I go up to Derek Lunsford once I see him in there, right? I'm just saying, bro, I'm such a fan, bro. Like, I get. I do this, but I'm a. And he's like. He starts laughing. He goes, trey, we all are, bro. And like. Cause, like. Cause, like, yo, man, like. Like, when other people see it, they'd be like, bro, you was hanging out with Jay Cutler. And, like, to me, it's light, right? Because, like, it's not. Like, this is the first or second or third or 10th time I've hung out with Jay Cutler. So to me, it might be a little more normalized, right? But then when you step back for a bit, you're like, nah, bro. Because, like, I'm still a fan. Like, he don't look the way he looked on stage. No. But, like, in my eyes, when I look at Jay Cutler, I see the guy that's on the video. I said, yes. I don't have it here. It's at my house. I have the Quad Stomp picture hung up in my room. That's the guy I see. Yeah, so. And you'll even, like, I tell, like, even the men's physique guys even, like, you're like, dudes that, like, I compete with. Like, I'll be your problem. A fan. They'd be like, what? And I'd be like, yo, bro, like, don't think because I've been doing this for way longer than you and you might look up to me doesn't mean I'm not a fan of yours, bro. Like, I'm. Yo, I'm just so not a hater that I can appreciate everybody else, bro. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. A lot of people probably can't appreciate, even if it's direct competition, because they don't. They're too worried about, like, staring the stage. That. And I think some people. You know what I think? Some people think they feel like they dick riding, yo. Like, yo, I can't give him props, bro. I compete against them. I'm dick riding if I do that. Like. Or it's fake love. Well, a lot of niggas get that. Yeah, it's. It's bro. The dudes that say, bro, bro, bro to your face, dap you up. And then behind closed doors, talk other. Other stories. That runs rampant. Yes. And in all industries. Not just. Not just. Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know. I agree with that. You know that. That runs rampant. It's crazy. But. But that's why I, like, I tell people, yo, it's kind of. At this point in my life, right, it's kind of impossible to get into my inner circle because the inner circle only consists of, like, four people. Like, now I want to say, nah, I'm lying. The inner circle consists about eight people, right? Outside of that, you could be in the outset. Outside circle. Some people get in that. And then, like, a bunch of people get into the outer, outer circle. Like, I let a lot of people in that one. You're like a joy. You're like a jawbreaker. You got rings, yo. Touche, bro. There we go. So, like, I really don't care because I'm so mature and grown that I know where to hold people at. So I don't even care that people. Official fake love, bro. I really don't, bro. Because, yo, I'm just not gonna be like them, right? So I'm not gonna show. Yo, bro, if I don't with you, I don't with you. I wear the on my sleeve, bro. Like, you know it, I know it. Everybody else knows it, bro. I'm not one of these people that gotta do some conniving to your back, yo, bro, I am valiant and honorable. I'll punch you straight to your face while you looking at me like. Like, nothing I need to do to you. Do I need to hide my hand, bro? So it's kind of even like the preps when people go into hiding. It's like, do you think that because you're hiding, they're gonna stop dieting? Never. That was always interesting to me. Like. Like, you thought. Wait, hold up. So because you stopped posting, they stopped dieting and doing cardio? Well, so. And so isn't doing it anymore. So it. I could, like. I could let off the gas a little bit. Oh, he stopped posting. That must have mean he fell off. Little did you know, his WI fi wasn't working. He didn't pay the bill. That can happen too. Like, I just. So where I'm at in life, I just. Fake love is cool. That's how I look at it. Like, yo, bro, it's cool. Yo. You could show the fake love, bro. I get it. See right through it, though. That's why. Cause I. Yo, look, all right, yo, so I got into a car accident this morning, right? This morning? Yeah. And, like, it's so light, right? Like, yo, bro, no, in my. In my little Pathfinder, right? Okay. And like, bruh, like, my car don't even got no real serious damage neither. Like, it's just a little. It's just like my paint's a little scraped off and, like, one of the plastic pieces a little chewed up a little bit, right? And like, so I'm gonna tell you what happened, right? And, like, it's mad funny. Like, I'm not even mad this whole time that this is going on, right? Like, yo, bro, I'm not mad at none of this. The whole thing. Like, I'm laughing, right? So, yo, some chick. Yo, if you could tell some young chick, like, when. When. So when the shit. I'm like, this chick gets out, you could tell she probably like, yo, bro, she had to be under 20. Damn, she was. And, like, she was Snapchat. But no, it was one of these chicks with, like, an attitude, though. She was, like, a heavyset chick that had nothing to do with the attitude, but, like, she was one of, like, these white girls who, like. All right, so look, you from Long Island. I'm from Long Island.

That actually takes from yourself, makes your soul empty, Right? It takes from your soul. People don't. Yo, like, yo, I'll be having to have conversations with my one home girl. Yeah. I mean, I ain't gonna get into who it is, yo, I can't even give any kind of descriptions because you probably know her, so I can't do none of that. And these people probably know it too. But yeah, I'll be having to tell them, like, yo, a lot of she'd be doing in life, she doesn't even realize that it's taking from her soul. Yep. Like. Like, I tell all the time, like, yo, you be thinking that. Like, I don't. I don't get it. Like, I don't know how some people don't realize what they're doing in their own heads when they like, because, yo, take all the friends away, take all the glitzer, take all the money away. And I'm not talking about this person has them or doesn't have them, but I'm saying, take all this dumb away from your life. Yo, when is you really sitting there by yourself in the quiet? I know you're not. I know, I know you're really not really not proud of the that where you at and what you doing and how you going about it. You not. And yo, when you grown, that's not how you should look at life, bro. You should always like, yo, I mean, yo, I'd be wanting better for you Rizzles. I'd be one better for ever all my friends, right? But, yo, you have to want better for yourself more than you even want better for others, bro. And too many people be stuck in a spot because they don't want better for themselves when they know what's better for themselves. You know what's better for yourself? You playing this game for like. And look, you confront for everybody else, bro. You can't front for yourself, bro. When you in your. When you buy yourself in your own thoughts, bro. When you in that shower, when you getting ready for bed all these times you in your own thoughts. You can't front for yourself, bro. And people. And you're like. And people have the nerve to look in the mirror at themselves and think that should mean something. No, you. You literally stealing from your soul. And you grow like, yo, we not 15, bro. We not doing dummy. We not 22. Where we doing dummy? And like. And look, it's up to say like this. Because I have to say it like this, right? Yo, men and women deal with different double standards in life, right? There's things that men can do that a woman can never do. And there's things that a woman can do that a man could never do. And it wouldn't be acceptable, men or women, if a man was Doing those things, it wouldn't be acceptable to neither side, yo. That a man could never do. So guess what? We gonna deal with these things, right? But what I'm. What I'm getting to is this, yo. There's things a man can do that doesn't. That will not annihilate his soul. That if a woman does, it will annihilate her soul, yo. Yo, men and women are very resilient in their own ways. In their own ways, yo. And yo, women can't be trying to be the. The resilient that men are. They weren't built for it, yo. Cause men can't be the resilient women was. Yo, you a whole. If you doing that, bro. Like. Like we. Like, yo. And look, I'm letting Dre get these bars off. I'm just. I'm. I'm nodding. And look. And not even. Yo, yo, not even the women will look at. Like, the women will look. You look at you like a sucker, but so will the men double something like, that's what you doing. Yeah. All of us gonna be looking at you like, nah, that sucker, bro. So why can't we all do it? Why. Why don't we all get to look at the woman. The woman and say the same? Everybody know when sucker should have sucker shit and when dumb shit is dumb and when you shouldn't be doing what you're doing. And, you know, you just out here, here and look, I get it happens in life, right? But you can't continuously keep doing it and think that something's going to come different out of it, yo. Yeah, what is it the lunacy is. Or what is the. What is the insanity thing and expecting a different result? And. And look, if people try to get into semantics. Oh, well, I did this a little different. No, you're still the same. I did this. Except I journaled while I was doing it. I felt like I was just venting the process, and I just. I'm a new me. Like, okay, are you? Or are you just trying to convince yourself that you are? That's the question. And. And like you said, you can't lie to yourself. No, when you are alone, and we all know this, and if you don't, then you need to get the fuck off your phone. But when you're alone and there's no ambient sound and it's just you and your thoughts, like, listen, I'll walk Kenji, and I'll leave my phone at home. You know, sometimes it's tough. Cause sometimes I want to make sure I have A device on me that I can get to if there's an emergency, whatnot. But listen, on times where I know that I'm going to be good and there's no. There's no potential for that at all, I walk without the phone. And when you walk without the phone, you get some of your best business ideas. You get some of your best ideas. In general, you'll be surprised how much I'm not on my phone for. So I know, like, you're like, I mean, I'll be answering DMs three days later, bro. We highlighted that on one of your second appearances on the show. We highlighted how you are not a. Slave to the phone, yo, because you look, bro. I mean, when I click on ignorant and I see that top corner says something like 60 stressed. Oh, now we gonna post and we just gonna exit up out of here real quick. We don't watch, like two people's stories. He's looking, he's like this, he's like, is there a mark all as red? Yo, my man, if you was in the front row of stories, you gonna get your shits watched. If you down any bit past that front four, I'm not. What I'll be tired of ig. Isn't it weird how the more cognizant you become of that, as time has gone on from initial use of Instagram and stories and this and that, dude, I'll be looking for like two seconds and I'll be like, what the fuck am I doing? And I'll close the app. I'm like, I'm sitting here third partying someone else. But you know what? I realize it's because everybody's real life ain't better than ig, man. My real life is better than ig, bro. So, like, don't you. All right, so let me give you an example, right? And I want to give a side example and then let you do your example. The girls in the club. Oh, that are sitting there supposed to be having the time of their life. They're posting, but then they're looking at everyone else's stories like, is someone else. Oh, yeah, yeah. I don't get that. Checking other people. Like, I could understand you throwing a post up. Oh, post up. But looking at everyone actually viewing now thing, aren't you supposed to be having the time of your life? Yo, look how much. Yo, look, I'm gonna tell rid of this. You had the dark sport events. If you notice, I don't post much of my own pictures. I have to repost everything old Boy takes. Because I'm not the. With my phone out the whole time, I'll be like, damn. I don't really. Yo, I didn't get none of the team pictures, yo. Oh, boy, send me, yo, because I got. That's why I also got the Android, yo, quick share me a folder, bro. And he's just gonna quick share me a folder and then boom. Most of my posts just be repost to him because I'm gonna be in 90 of his pictures. I mean, when we do the events, it's me, him and Brandon sitting next to each other the whole goddamn three days. We call oh boy, the paparazzi from now on because my man does not miss a beat at any of those events. Yo, Olympia, nothing. No. And yo, I need, I need, I need whatever battery bank he has. Oh, his energy is like that in real life. It's not a show. Oh, I know it is. It's not a show. I know. I stay. I saw him and his wife in Hawaii years ago. We hung out. Oh, he's the man. He really is awesome. Awesome. I love it. You said that, bro. He's the man. Similar and playing, bro. Dude, I like how you condensed that, bro. Yeah, we didn't have to really go in old boy. You just made it like he's the. We got to the end. So he was in New York, man, a little. A couple months ago. I tried to get him to. To come through, but I knew he was too busy and I was just like, dude, we never got a sit down. And I tell me he wanted to come in. I'm like, I just want to chop it up. I'll say this, it would be a perfect podcast because, yo, you can go to somewhere whole. You can go to a whole other place talking to him. Him. Because number one is he's from Hawaii, right? So the culture is completely different. And yo, they believe in a lot of that. It's up to say we used to believe in over here. Yeah, yeah. Deep rooted connection to the world, their. Family, all it like we used to believe in all that. They still do. They don't and they not. And what I love about is they're not budging off the culture. Like, yo, you can come and try to add some things to culture, but our culture still our culture, you can't come and topple it. Like, no, like you just not. And I feel like Americans should feel like that should. But I feel like Americans are the only country where people don't have the sense of pride for their country the way these Other countries do, they don't. And like, without getting deep into this whole immigration and all of this shit, right? Like, I don't get, like, like they just showed it on the news yesterday, right? Like, so you over there in Texas, you're burning American flags while toting your flag, right? Why are you here if you love that place so much? No, but, no, but, but look, no, I got one better for you, right? Because let's get, let's really get into it then, right? Do you understand that people flee Iran because of political persecution? It's exactly what they think they're under, and it's what they are under, and they've been under it forever. That's why people flee Iran, and they've been fleeing Iran forever, right? So now my thing is this. If you think you're under political persecution, bro, you can just go back to Mexico or wherever you came from, and then you won't be under political persecution anymore. Like, like everyone else flees these lands they think are so shitty. And no one's tying you down and go wherever you want. And my thing is this, right? Even with the last election when Joe Biden won, right? It's the same thing. I tell everybody. At what point is everyone going to stop complaining the guy won, Deal with. It for four years or however many, and you, and you, and you move on. If you're going to sit here and just try to micromanage everything and complain about everything, you're just going to be miserable. And look, I'm laughing, right? Because, yo, you go on the Internet and people have made politics their whole identity to the point they're miserable in life that Trump won. Yep. My life don't stop. My life does not stop. And my bills don't stop, no matter who does, who's in office. We got work to do. So, so look. No, so look, right? This is what it comes down to for me, right? And not speaking for no one but me. Yo, whoever has the mic, you have to learn how to rock the beat so it doesn't. Like, yo, guys, complaining is not going to make the who's the president change tomorrow. So if you. So, so what, do you rather just complain the next four years and be broke and not try to figure out how to make this system work for you? Yes, because. Because look, let's be real. Everybody was complaining about how broke they were in the last system. Yo, here's your opportunity to get some money. Yeah, go get you some money. Yo, and look, right, Regardless, if you, if you like the guy, agree with him. Or not. Yo, there's a way for you to find out how to get some money in this next four years. Yo, money, opportunity. Like, yo, yeah, go get the bag, bro. Problem is there's a lot of finger pointing. And this is. This goes down a lot, but this goes that we don't understand a lot of this. Look, because we don't do that. Look, the finger pointing is fine, right? And look, see, look, I don't try to resist what people do. Right. So what you said, there's a whole lot of finger pointing. Right, I get it. And like, if we're talking about how I personally feel, like, they're like, oh, yeah, it's the finger pointing. But look, let me clarify. Not you finger. No, I know that. Other. Other. No, I know that, but look. Yeah, see, they are right, cool. So what's your solution now? Well, they don't have one. No, because the finger pointing is not going to change the presidency. They don't care. They'd rather bitch and complain for four years. Yo, it's the same thing when Joe Biden was the president, bro. Yo, the finger pointing didn't change Joe Biden being the president. All it did was you're just finger pointing. You're miserable. No, but look what that side did, though. They immobilized themselves and got the votes on their side. That's how a democracy works, y'all. And it's not a democracy, it's a republic. So what it means is we actually vote. Our vote is to. To vote for the people that are representing us. They actually make the decisions, not us. And then it's like, oh, this is the things you guys voted for. You guys are going to be sorry, yo, every. Yo, I'm dead ass. Yo, every single thing Donald Trump has done so far, he said he was going to do, and people voted for those things. This is. None of these things are a shocker to the people who voted. None of this is a gotcha yet. There's. There's not one pulling the tablecloth out. Every single thing he did, the people that voted for him wanted those things. Black, white, brown, Chinese, anything Asian, Indian. All those people that voted for him, all of these things that are going on, they wanted. So, so, so it goes back to the whole racist thing again, right? So let me guess. The brown people, the black people and the Asians are also racist against black people that voted for him, right? Everybody that voted for him is a racist. Yo, guys, it doesn't make sense. Like, let's just. And look, don't you Notice I can have a conversation and talk intelligently without throwing one hurling one insult at either. And, and people don't understand. Right. Do you understand the best thing to do in a conflict is actually talk to people you disagree with? And, yo, get out of the hyperboles, get out of the ad hominems, get out of the personal attacks. Attack the point. Don't attack people. Because, yo, no one cares what you're saying when you're attacking people personally. And all you're dropping is ad hominems and this, that, and the third. Bro, your message ain't even being heard. You why your message ain't being heard? Because you just sound bitter and you don't sound like you have a point of view. You just sound like you're repeating things you heard. And it's on both sides, bro. Yep. Well, how many people argue with being the loudest in the room? But, but, but look. Right. All right, so the loud. To me, the loudest in the room or the quietest room doesn't matter because the loudest person can have the best points and the loudest person can have the dumbest points. It doesn't matter. Just because you're the loudest doesn't mean you're right. And just because your last don't mean you're wrong. It's. It's. It's a, It's a characteristic that's neither here nor there, if you dig what I'm saying. So I don't even mention the loudest person in the room. I mentioned the person that's intellectually actually proving a point and the person that's being dishonest and intellectually dishonest. Like when you know something is, is, is, is, is not true, and you know it's not true, and you still continue to say it. You're being intellectually dishonest at that point. You are. And it's the same thing when Joe Biden won. Yo, if you want your side heard, you have to intellectually prove your points. And if you haven't realized, right, that's all the right did after Joe Biden won. They went on the campaign trail and they intellectually proved their points. And then I think the other side is too caught up in the. Yo, in the Internet. Funny, Orange man. Bad. That's what they call it. Y'all be rolling at 7 issue. Cause the Internet be having me rolling, right? Because, yo, I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. I'm an Independent, but I'm rolling with the things that make sense, and I'm Sorry to say, wrote it the on the right made senses. Stop you want me to do, bro. Like, how dare you have an opinion. No, like, bro, how dare you. You make a decision for yourself, bro. The stuff on that side made them. Yo, bro. And look, I try to tell people this, man. I. Yo, no one is gonna agree with every last thing the man says or does, because if you do, that means you idolize him. Cuz, you got to remember this. There's no false idols. So the only thing you can idolize is the universe, bro. Whichever God you choose, or the universe, the sun, whatever it is, that's the only thing you can idolize because you can only idolize things that are immortal. You are not supposed to idolize mortal beings. Mortal beings. Yeah. And. And what I mean is this. When you're idolizing something, they can do no wrong. And what I mean is that God can do no wrong in your eyes of a Christian or your. Or. Or Muhammad can do no wrong in the eyes is. Is a Muslim, because that's who their idol is. Allah is the idol to them. Allah can't do no wrong. So you can't think some. No, everybody is fallible. Yep. So I don't expect to agree with everything the guy does. Some things I'm like, oh, that was sideways, cuz if I'm rolling with 90% of the. You do. And I pick the right guy. Still, bro, compared to the. Compared to the opposite. Yeah, because. Because, look, hey, we'll have another conversation, right? But we gotta get into the competing in a second for y'all, right. It's also started on. On the accident with my bus. My thing is this, right? So you got these people, right? Oh, the women. Okay, you voted against, sweetie. I wish I cared that much. What you do with your box? I voted for my rights on the things that I liked. Yo, that topic. First of all. First of all, changing the president was. If the president. If the lady won, that law wasn't going to get changed. No, none of that was going to change. It's the Supreme Court that got to change that. And they already voted on it. It is what it is, brother. It is what it is, brother. We rolling with that and everyone's rolling with it, no matter who's in office. So cool, right? That's the first point. That's. That's the major point. Because they think that if it went the other way, something was changing. All right, number. The next point is this. If you think that was my number one on my list. Hold up. Yo, you think that that is more important than all this other shit going on. All the money the government been stealing from us. Yo, all of it's a racket. You notice, right? Oh, yeah. All of it's racket. Have you. Are. You are. I'm tun. I'm tuned. I'm tuned in. In. Are you on X? I'm. No. Oh. Oh, no, no, no. I. Bro, I'm on YouTube, bro. I'm tuned in. YouTube is good. I want to send you. Oh, yeah, please do. I'm gonna send. Don't even get. No, no, no. Don't get into it. Don't get into it. It's quick. No, no, don't get into who? Or none of that. No, not who. Oh, God. Just doge their account. Oh, no, no, bro. Yeah, no, I know all about that. Daily posting. Daily. What they're finding. It's insane. Bro, I watch YouTube all day. I don't. Yo, bro, I don't. That's why I'm not on the Internet, because I either watch YouTube or I read. And that's another thing. I feed your soul, y'all. Yo. Oh, for my homegirl. Right. If even for anybody. Yo, when you feel like things have taken from your soul, the way you feed your soul and the way you get better and the way you learn, go back to reading. Yep. And I don't mean audiobooks. Go back to reading. Yeah. Paper, text. Go read something tangible in your head. And look, don't read books about power. Go read books about life. And, like, go read things like. Like. Like Gandhi books like that. Like, where people teach you your spiritual side of life. Like, where it's like, yo, go learn how to just be better and good. Like, you know what I mean? Cool. Cool. Plug for a cool book was the Monk that Sold His Ferrari. Oh, I like that one. Good book. That sounds like a great book. Good book. And that's what I mean. Like those. And look, that's the things you have to go read. Like, because you gotta remember, when you're losing your soul, reading the 48 laws of power is not gonna bring your soul back to you. It's actually gonna make you when you're all right. So if you're losing your soul and you read a book like that. Robert Green, Send the check. It can. It can kind of turn you into almost like a psychopath or narcissist. Oh, yeah. Because now it's feeding that side of you that you don't want to feed because it's. It's 40 levels of power. It's teaching you Power. So if you're already in a bad space where you're doing degeneracy, you don't want to learn about power. You're going to start using it for wrong things. You start using it for taking advantage. Yeah. Like, for wrong things. But. Yeah, but yeah. So I'm sorry. That wasn't my number one on my bingo card. Like, like. It just was. Y'all just. It just wasn't, bro. How many votes was it? I. I think most of the people would agree with you on that. This. This wasn't on my bingo card, bro. And I don't know how New York still is still blue, because outside of New York City, yo, the whole. Your eyes. So let me give y'all a little. Little education on how New York goes. I'm out. This is for people who ain't from New York. I'm out. Yo, if you're not in New York City, everywhere is. Else is red. Upstate, everything is red. Long island, everything is red. They've been enjoying the decision that they've made in the city. How. How nice it's been. But it's creeping up, though. Yep. And like, yo, mad people don't know. Mad like, yo, bro, when I tell you I'm a nerd, I'm a nerd. So I know mad, like, legal, right? People don't understand that. You know, Trump can have a third term, right? You know, in the Constitution that says you can have a third term, right? You can't have back to back third terms. If you win, lose, win again. You can have a third term. The meltdown will be. It's. But, but look. But insane. All right, so look, right? This is the difference on the two sides, right? Yo, the Democrats just be trampling on the Constitution. Yeah. And then they say anything he does is unconstitutional. No, no, no, no, no, no. They find loopholes, just like tax code. Y'all not reading the law, right? Yo, because you gotta remember in legal term, language matters, like the word. That's why I'm so wordy. Definition, yo. Definite. Yo, yo. And that's what people don't understand, why it's so wordy. Like, you read that and you have a aneurysm. You're like, what the am I reading? Because what happens is this when you read it, right? You end up having to know the actual, real definitions for every word that people. Words have meanings because words have definitions. You cannot use this word. Trying to say, oh, but I meant that. No, you didn't mean that because you use this word. So. So don't try to tell me this word is meaning this now. That's what it means. Yeah, right. Thank you. Look at it. Tell me what the definition of that word is. It's just like how you have to frame things to people when people say, oh, but do you think this is good? All right, well, you have to tell me your definition of good because I need to know the frame that your mind works on. My frame and your frame might not be the same, bro. So I got to know what frame your mind works on for me to answer. Answer things like, you know, I mean, because. Because I just need to. It's given clarity. And that's what legal terms are. And they were breaking it down how he's the only president eligible because all the other presidents alive they that serve to. They had their two terms back. Yeah. And you're like, go look that up. Like, and look, you know what's the up part is because when people hear it on the Internet without knowing the legalities and the actual legal jargon behind anything, when they just here, oh, he's going to try to run for a third term. Oh, see, it's crazy. And all right, so, yo, I'm like a real nerd, bro. Like, I even know all the legalities behind birthright citizenship. Yo, bro, he's not trampling the Constitution, bro. Yo, if you read the actual legal language in the Constitution for that amendment, bro. Yo, he's. They're right. If you, you, you have to be subject to our jurisdiction. If you're here illegally, you're not subject to our jurisdiction, brother. You're subject to wherever the you came from. And people be like, oh, but you're subject to the laws. If you're here and you're not. And you're. No, no, no. Once you're on the US Soil and you're not a diplomat, you are. You are subject to our laws. Yeah, we gonna lock you up and send you home, bro. That's what we going to do to you. So basically what they're saying is legally, they haven't been interpreting this right. Legally, this is not. And look, people like, oh, he's trying to send. Oh, he's trying to take the papers away from mom, grandma. No, no, no, no. Know, it's nothing's being retro done. It's 30 days after from where he said. So if you're here illegally and you have a kid here, no, that kid's no longer a citizen in that 30 days. And yo, you could feel however you want to feel personally about it. Yo, I Thought we were a country built on laws. Well, you'd assume, like, every other country has laws and borders. Yo, you try to get into that country, you get shot, dog. I say this all the time. I went to Dubai. The first question, the first two questions they asked me, why are you here? When are you leaving? Dude, sitting there stern as fuck, looking me right in the face. Why are you here? When are you leaving? I'm out on Monday. Good. Make sure you make your flight. I was like this. I was like, well, I'm shooting with Kai, so we may be maybe till Tuesday. Don't fucking. Don't come looking for me. But basically, what they're letting you know is, yo, brother, don't stay here longer than you're supposed to be here. We will come find you. Oh, they'll come find me in two seconds. And look, you're like, enjoy your stay. People think, don't, don't. Don't stretch that shit out. People think we're so oppressed here, right? And they be acting like, oh, well, all that other stuff only goes on in third world countries. No, go to Dubai. They are not a third world country. Country. They are probably more advanced than us. Yo, bro, you cannot do nothing there. Are you going to jail? People leave. Yo, I saw the one dude. Yo, the dude parked his G Wagon, took the keys, left it on. Left it on the top of the. On the top of the steering wheel right here. Boom. Yo, my man dipped for like six hours, came back at night time. Where was the G Wagon sitting in. The same spot with the keys sitting right there. Yep. I felt like I could let. I could have left all my camera gear out. Nobody would have touched anything. Because it's working on an honor system. Because you know what the laws are if you get caught stealing that. Oh, yeah, it's over. And yo, that is. Yo, if the law is restricted for a lot of people wouldn't do them, dude. Like, yo, the way they don't play in some of these other countries. Like, yo, Sink, remember the kid got caught in Singapore, spray paint stuff, and he had to get the lashings, and he's from America, and they were trying to get him out of lashings and they were like, no, bro, you up. No, we're gonna send him back. But, oh, no, he gotta get. Oh, yeah, he's taking his. Gotta get these 13 lashings in front of everyone. Yeah, he's taking it before he leaves. What do you mean? And. And look, right. Who's to say it's right or wrong when it's their culture. It's not your culture. You're visiting the there. Your guy, your culture. What do we say? When I first talked about Dubai, you had a great. You had a great quote that I've quoted you on a couple of different podcasts. Shrink yourself. Oh, all day. I did say that about Dubai too. Yes, yes. Shrink yourself. And I, and I, dude, I do that. Yo. Don't think you are who you are in America. Nope. Know where you're going. And. And you know what? People be thinking this, right? People be thinking you're like, yo, people be wild how they think. People think they go somewhere and the laws from America apply to them. They're not the laws from there. Like, you'll just have naive. Some people. People are like, people are really. And look, I'm not saying the average person, but there's a lot of people this naive and they get jammed up when, look, we went to Japan, right? So jealous. And we go, I'm going back in June. Are you?

Everything he says is not meant to take literal Guys. And, like, the fun. He pokes at people. Guys, the guy's funny, man, whether you like him or not. Like, because, like, you cannot care for him. And, like, there's things he. He got. He says that you gotta chuckle. Like, did you see what he said to Selena Gomez? No. She was crying about. I seen what she was doing. He commented back. He said. He said, you know, these. I'm sure you didn't care about some of these people's victims, that they've. That they've. That they've created in the path of their wake. He said, why don't you focus on acting and let me run the country? He said, we're all looking forward to Spring Breakers 2 sequel. I was like, fuck, dude. Yo, he. Yo, he. Yo, bro, like, look, right? So look, He. He. Yo, everybody gets so salty at everything he does, right? So look, we gonna start with the first one, right? We're gonna start with the first one, right? Rizzle, I got one for you. Hold on. We're gonna start with the first one. Oh, Columbia don't want to take. They. They wouldn't let us land the planes. Cool. Yo, my man said, yo, timeout on the 8th hole. Time out. Yo, I gotta. I gotta put this tweet up real quick. Yo, now look, I don't think he wrote that out at the eighth hole. I thought. Yo, we know what. Yo, look, people who think he makes all these decisions himself. You guys must think this guy's a fool. He's got the top advisors, top economists, top lawyers, top legal people that all are sitting right there in the room with him. And, you know, he already had the tweet already drawn up. He had it sitting in his notes. Yo, well, look, if they decline them, we gonna say this. If they accept them, we gonna say this. When he was on that eighth hole and he heard, oh, they not taking them. Hold up. Yeah, drop the driver. Yo, my man said 25 tariffs. We freezing all visas. No diplomats come here. Everything suspended. This, that. And remember the. The Colombian what The Colombian president was talking big cash, too. Yo, when he dropped that. Dropped that on him, they said, oh, Colombia told him what's up? Moment a few moments later. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we going to take them. Yeah. Yo, people got to understand this, right? Do you understand the tariffs and all of these things are leverage? And do you understand that all these countries need us more than we need them? Yo, know, this lady said, oh, my God, wait till women find out that the price of their blueberries are going to go up. Yo, do you think the big boys care about prices of blueberries. We have way bigger problems to fix than the price of blueberries. And avocados and. And Corona. No, they gonna feel it till this shit's even. I'm sorry, y'all got. Yo, they. Yo bro. Taking advantage for too long. So you know the U.S. uSA, ID, right? Everyone thought it was USAID. It's not USAID. It's USAID. It's literally the shadow government. How they pay for everything. All their black ops stuff that they don't have. Yo, they report to no one but themselves. All they do is ask the Pentagon for money. They money. And they do whatever the hell they want to do. Nah. So wait a minute, y'all. Yo, we found out they they funding all of these drug cartels. They funding this, this all. Wait, hold up. So where's the money going on the back end? So people like, you know how many rackets they already uncovered. So guys, when he's. When he's doing all of these things now, right? And then they. Oh, he doesn't. Oh, Canada's not playing. He folded two. And Mexico is. Mexico was first. And then Canada first of all, right? Mexico and Canada do not have a military that we have. If either one of them gets invaded or attacked, we are the people who are protecting them. They do not put their money into their military cuz they know this already. Why are we spending millions of dollars on military and y'all not? Oh, because we the big black guy. On the block that protect we got a big stick. So. So guess what? Last time I checked, the person that with the gun makes the rules. And the person that makes the rules breaks the rules. So guess what? Why are we being leveraged by them in all the deals? I don't understand how people don't understand these simple things. Bro. My mom and I have this conversation and we've been being every morning, dude. Look like, do people understand this? Right? Right? Do you know why Germany and the EU don't take our cars? I'm going to tell you why they don't take our cars. When Germany was. When world war happened and Germany got demolished, right? We allowed Germany to tariff US because our GDP in our US is so booming that we knew by them tariffing us, they could rebuild their country. And it wouldn't hurt us to do it now. You go outside, all you see is Benz and all these German cars. You go over there, you will not see an American car. They do not buy our cars. You know why? Because they have no incentive to far and few Between. And it's the same reason why that Benz costs 80 bands when it actually should cost you 58,000. And like, people. People are so stuck on just being bitter on one side that they don't realize that. Yo, bro, I don't care where you're trying to make progress, whether you're a bodybuilder or anything. I'm sorry you're going to go through short term pain for long term gain. I'm just happy the adults are back in the room because y'all like, yo, everyone thinks with their feelings. Yo, bro, none of this has nothing to do with feelings. This is all business, brother. It is all business. Yo, do you little do y'all know the US is a corporation the most? It's so funny when people say, oh, he's trying to run it like a business. The hell do you think it is? What do you think it is? Yeah. So you were living in Disneyland without any. Without nothing. You just. You were. This the guest in the park? Dark. Nah, yo, this is how it goes. And yo, you see how everyone folded? The last administration could never. They were just paying the money. Yo, we over here putting all this money into the WHO. $500 million. Last year, the second biggest player was China, who put 40 million in. Why the hell are we in this organization? 500. We don't even need to be here. And then, yo, and look, then they double back on us. Like, oh, we'll let. Yo, yo, we'll take 39. Wait, so we paid y'all 500 million last year, but y'all told us to double back for 39? No, we're out of the deal. What that means is you was cracking us in the head and you knew it. Yep. Claim. Claiming us as suckers the whole time. Cracking us. No, but no, they're not claiming us as suckers. We're being compliant to it. Yo, look, remember this, bro? It's like a kid. It's like a. Brooklyn gonna take advantage if you letting her. Nick, she's doing nothing wrong. She pressed in the line and you folded. So, yo, guess what she gonna do? She gonna keep pressing the line. Shout out Brooklyn. I deal with this my seven year old. Yo, like. Yo, like, this kid's an habitual line stepper. She's gonna. I use that line all the time. That was the chappelle one. Yes, habitual, bro. With Charlie Murphy. Yo, bro, she. She can't just go up to it with her toe Rizzo every time. Gotta step over that kid. Come on, we know this. This is me. Like, I don't even be mad. Yo, kid, come on. Like, this is what we doing. This is what we not doing. Come on, man. Like, bro. But yeah, people be caught up on. On the. On the. On the. On the dumb shit. I said this to Jamal and Fab. His boy Fab. This is what he wrote to silly. I said, this is what it'd be like if we were president. Just showing the enemy how we fuck their friends. Up, up. Dude, bro. Yo, but look. But look, right? Like, hey, keep doing what you're doing. So look, right? All right? Do people know? So look, right? If we're the superpower, why are we getting punked? Why are we being complicit in all this money going everywhere. Everywhere. Everyone here is hurting except for us. It's going everywhere except for us. Like, and then you got Zelinsky talking about, oh, they said 150 million. We only seen 75, so where the hell the rest of it? And he said, you want to talk. About Tyler with his handout? And, you know. No. And he said he don't know where none of the other money is. Oh, interesting. Interesting. That's good. I'm glad. Awesome. And look, right. So hold up, right? With this is. This is Now. Let me bring it back home. We're bringing it back home. With all of this going on, you think what you do with your box is my. Oh. Is my biggest issue? Oh. Yeah. You understand our taxes are so high and we don't have fixed roads. And all of this. I was gonna say, it is so. Insane, all the money that's. Yo, bro, it was 50, yo. We should look like Dubai. Yo. 50. Yo, yo. $50 million for condoms in Gaza? Yeah. Yo, hold up, hold up. Oh, I got a better one for you. A lot of condoms. I got a better one for you, right? Yo, the Navy charging us 1250. Twelve hundred and fifty dollars per coffee cup. Oh, the K cups, right? No, coffee cups. Coffee cups. Oh, I. I read those cups. I read. I read something like, let me see. Let me see. We've been having a ball since $1250, brother. Pentagon spends. Spent 600 million a year on sushi. I mean, listen, And I have to. I have to say, this is all hearsay. I don't have a receipt for this. But. But wait, hold up. If they. Hold on. And this is what I love when people say this dumb shit. Oh, how do you know that's a fact? So they just making it up to make it up. I'm just saying that as the. No, but. No, but this Is what people. No, but this is what that other side says. Oh how you know they just not making it up. Yo guys. It's pretty, pretty to the point. Yo guys. And look what you think they're not going to. Yeah, you were right. 1280 per little disposable plastic cup used to drink coffee from the IRS is spending 230,000amonth on Starbucks cinnamon roast K cups. You're kidding me. Cinnamon roast cake. Very, very interesting choice on the floor. But look, now, right now, let's roll it back now. Right? And I'll let you roll it back in two seconds. This is the IRS headquarters building where 92% of the employees are working from home. 92 out of every 92 out of every 100 employees in that office are home. Yet they are still spending $230,000 on all this month, on all this, on those K cups. This bro, what's the fucking date? It's February 4th. This is what we found out just going in for till not even a month. Now look, this is why I'm an independent, right? Because you got the left, right? And they'll try to about the money, right? We're showing you the money, yo. You don't have a problem with this? And now they talk about about corporate greed, right? Do you understand all those people with those contracts. Now look, right, they might try to talk about Elon's corporate contract, right? It's for SpaceX. He's not getting filthy rich or he's not charging the government for like he's the one producing everything. So now that company that's getting twelve fifty dollars a cup, do you know how filthy rich that person is getting, getting. And look, I'm going to tell you D1 better who's making them the illegals. So now you're not even paying a real wage for it. That's why they're so tight that they're talking about getting rid of them. And all the Americans are talking about they can't earn a living wage. We saw all the TikTok rants for the last three years and all these people. And it wasn't people on the right complaining. It was the people on the left complaining yo, about how they can't afford their bills and they can't afford rent. And this is too high. And that is too high, too high. Do you know why you don't earn a livable wage? Because there's corporate people that are, that are employing illegals that they can pay less money than you. And if those people weren't here Those people that are getting filthy rich, they would have to take less money. And when I say those people, let me tell you what I mean. Yo, Amazon, every restaurant you go to, like every restaurant hasn't, has, has illegals employed all of these plate like these peak car washes. Yo, these owners are millions on top of millions on top of millions. Every rest good restaurant, you know, they're millionaires. Every car wash, millionaires. All these, all these businesses, they're millionaires off of illegal, the back of illegal workers. So you not mad about that, that because guess what? Maybe they didn't make 1.5 million this year. Maybe they only made 800,000. That's still being filthy rich. But guess what? All their employees are earning a livable wage now and they can afford to actually work a regular job and afford their bills. Not stripping on the pole, not having to sell crack. You wonder why crime is so high and all the, all the, all the degenerate so high is because everybody's trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents. And guess what? They can't get the dollar. The only way they can. And look, I'm not saying that you can't still get a dollar, but the only people getting the dollar are exceptional. Now before you only had to be average to live an average life. You have to be exceptional to live an average life. Now one income could get you two cars, it could get you a whole house, it could get you everything. Pa, vacation, you know, wife could stay home, shit like that. Nowadays, yo, do you understand if, that if, if they didn't have illegal labor. And then people talk about like agriculture, it's 1%. Yo, illegals make up 1% of, that's 1% of their, of the work. Which means since you think agriculture, that's all they do. Yo, all these people that build houses, all these contractors, these guys are filthy rich. Not just a little bit. And, and you got a. Remember like if you own a gym, right, the guy at the front desk don't make shit. But guess what? Y'all want that, Y'all want the price of wages, minimum wage to be $20 like it is in Cali. That's not affordable because what people do when you raise the wages is all they do is lay off. And no, they lay off. And no, they don't even raise the prices. They do that a little bit. But they lay off workers because say I had 50 workers and had to pay them $10, right? Now when it goes to $20, I just got 25 workers, you're gon future now y'all getting overworked for. For. For the more money now. Yeah. So guess what I didn't solve. I didn't solve the problem. These people make more money, but there's less people working. Yeah, you created more unemployment, like, and. But look, what people don't realize is everything is interlinked, though. So you. So you have to do this, then do this, then do this. So basically, you have to start finding people and really, really getting in their pockets when you catch them hiring illegal workers. Because. Let's take a job. Right. Housekeeping, right? At the hotels. These guys are filthy rich, too. The hotel owners, you're saying? Yes, I'm talking about the hotel owners. What are they paying these. These Spanish women to clean? Probably nothing. And then you feel. And then they. They almost. Not them in particular, not the actual housekeepers, but reviews and whatnot. They'll make you feel guilty for not leaving a tip. Do you know what you would have to pay these people if those people were an illegal. Illegal. If they were an illegal workers here, normal person, you know, you'd have to pay me real money to go do that. And guess what? You might not be worth a hundred million. You might only be worth 20. You're still rich, but you're just not filthy rich. Off the back. Off the back of the community. And look, ain't nobody against immigration. But I heard one dude said it took him. His. Him, his wife and his two kids. He said, for me, my wife and my two kids to get here, it took me seven years and 40 babies. When I heard that, I was like, and y'all think that everybody's just supposed to get amnesty and y'all wonder why the system is broken? Like, you got to remember, like, it's not just we changed the. Yo, listen, do y'all think the problems are going away? If the lady won any of them, it was going to be status quo. Oh, more bathrooms are going to have tampons. That's about it. Tampon, Tim. More bathrooms are going to have tampons. And yo, look, I seen even gay people in the comments, right? Because they say the LG LGBs, they took off everything else after last. After our buy, right? And like, the gay people in the comments, like, I agree with this. That. Let me guess, they're homophobic, too. Yeah, yeah. There's a gay dude on Tick Tock. His name is conservative and he's actually very funny. He's very funny. We actually follow each other. He's got, like, millions of followers. I don't know how the he followed me, but. All right, okay, I'll take it. I messaged him. I was like, I don't know how you followed me, but whatever, I'll take it. I guess you think my is cool. Cool. Oh, he's funny. He's funny, man. Just when the Canada shit was popping off, he's. He's sitting there looking, looking through his car, his cupboard like, no, no, not made. Not made in Canada. Look, people talk about, oh, our lumber. Yo, bro, do you understand we have enough forested lumber here. We're just subsidizing it from there so we're not chopping down our. Same thing with the electric, same thing with the oil. All of these things we have all own. Yep. And, and they wonder why all these jobs are offshore in India and everywhere else. Why? Because in India they can pay them$3 an hour. That's probably high. But all the, all the customer service is all in India now. Oh, I, I, I know. I've had to speak to some of them. Top left make turn the volumes on. Is it on. The big bus? Yeah, he's the lock cabin. There you go. Chicago, Illinois Yo, I'm dead. Yo, I'm dead. Just around, yo. 19, 000 comments bro. 260k likes. Oh, he's lit on TikTok. Oh, he's awesome. He's awesome. Send me his page. I got you. He's awesome. He's awesome. I'm gonna, I'm gonna probably tag him. In this and like, look, look. Right? So look, now really? Let's be real now, right, Rizzle? If we were homophobic, would we be following the gay guy? No, I have plenty of friends that are gay. Plenty too. And look, I'm gonna get, I'm gonna do one better, right? Yo, so if a trans person, right, If I don't know what your gender is and I say something and I just say it, whatever, whatever. And you try to attack me for that? That's wrong of you. Yeah. Now let me, let me go further, right? If you tell me you want to be called something, I'm gonna call you that. Because it's the same way. If I told you I want to be called Dre and not Andre, I expect you to call me Dre and not Andre. Because if you ask me to call you something and I called you something else, that's called being rude. Yep. But guess what? The government is not going to mandate me and force me and try to require that I do something. Something. Cuz they can get. Have you ever met Alex from bevs. He's a transgender athlete, transitioned at a young age. He came on the. When Petti and I had the podcast. Okay. He came on the podcast and talked about everything. Like, super transparent about it all. And he. And he said he could. He could not stand the bullying that happens from transgender people. Yo, they try to bul. And look right? And then. And then, like. And you never know that it used to be that he used to be. Girl, it's crazy. And my thing is things like, yo. Like, people say, oh, people care about what people do in their bedroom. No, we don't care what you do in your bedroom. You let us know that we would have never knew these things. Like. Like, you guys made it. Like, you guys came to the world with this. We. We're not in your bedroom. You're. You're. You keep lashing out in us and putting us in the story. Yo, listen, listen. We don't want to be in this group chat. We asked to be. We asked to be exited out the group chat, bro. Would you never know. Oh, I know him. Yep. No. Yo. Yo. He lives in my. Yo. He lives in my apartment. Really? I said, yo. He lives in my apartments. Yeah. And, like, look, just super down to earth and just real transparent about it. No, I have nothing against you. Nope. The government's just not good. And you're not going. And look how they want to be accepted when they be some of the most rudest people. You don't want me to be rude, but here you are being rude. And I. And look, I do think it's rude if someone asks you to be called something and you're sitting there making a point to call them something else. You're just being a dick now, bro. Yeah, being an asshole. Like, you're just being a dick, bro. You don't need to do all of that, bro. But at the same. Not that deep, right? It's not. But at the same time, don't try to mandate me and force me and try to, like, have this attitude that you're. You're trying to, like, virtual signaling you're holier than thou. Like, beat it, Scramble. And then outside of that, like, the bathroom, we not jacking at all. We're not jacking the bath. Yo, listen, let me just say this, too. Let me just say this. You having daughters. I was just. Where you think I was going? Listen. And I just want to get this. Bro, I will grab you by your throat. I couldn't even imagine. Like, it's. Man. Funny. Like, I see some. Oh, Yeah, I would love for love for somebody to try to stop me from being bathroom brother. If you ran into me, you ran into me. You got the right one today, brother. Like, consider me a genie. Your wish is granted. Like, you got. And, yo, I don't even walk around with that kind of attitude, but when I run into someone who, like, is like, you were looking. You left your house looking for a problem today. Well, you ran into me. And guess what? For some reason, the universe sent me here to teach you this lesson. Oh, what a. What a horrible lesson you're about to learn. But look, hey, let's just hope you learn it after this, though. What's the. What's the. What's the age old saying? What. What? Black eye? What was it? What do you have to tell somebody with two black eyes? I said, it's something like, learn your lesson, bro. Yeah. Wow. Good. Fuck. What is that? You good? We gonna. We gonna. We gonna finish that. Yeah. I want you to hit that joke, right? All right? You're gonna hit that joke, but we gonna transition to the competing right. Right out of this. Cause look, right? I mean, yo, look, me and Rizzle, like, Rizzle's really my homie. Like, I'm not on the podcast because I'm on the podcast. Cause, like, he's like, oh, let me hit Trey up and pay him five bands to come do the podcast. Like, no, I'm saying that's what you know. Like, that's how. You know how people be like, take the car. That's. That's not the car. That's not what it is. Like, it went like this, right? So it went like this. First of all, I see my event. I didn't even know he was there. All of a sudden, I just hear, yo, Dre. And I look up, and he got the camera on me. I'm like, oh. Like. And then he jumps out. He's like, yo, right? I know you'll be here. Give me a hug. And we was talking, and like, all right, cool. And then, boom, he go back over where he at? I'm over. I'm at. So then we come back in the middle, and then he's like, like, yo, Dre and I boom. He got the camera in my face again. I'm like, oh. So then, boom, right? So then he sent me. He post some. Then he tagged me in it. Then he sent me some, and I'm like, we're fire. And he like, yo, bro, we gotta talk. We haven't talked in a minute. He's like, yo, you Got some free time. And I was just like, yo, bro, let's just run the pie. Why talk on the phone? Because, like, yo, like I said, he's my real friend. So, like, yeah, we do talk to the point where, yeah, we have some catching up to do because we ain't talking a minute. So was like, it was run the pod. Yeah. So we ran the pod best way. Right? Because, I mean, we was going to have the convo anyway. We might as well film it for y'all. Yes. Okay. So before we get into two things, before we get into the pod, into. Into Mr. Dre. So the first thing that I wanted to. This might derail us and put us into a totally different. Now it's going to be because I. Wanted to see a while ago an experience that I had when we were talking about shrinking yourself, which was very, very interesting. I was overseas in France. I was in Nice, France, and I was doing, like, a study abroad when I was in college. I spoke a little French at the time because I was studying it through high school, college. So I definitely spoke it better when I was doing it regularly and studying it. Diminishing skill. Yeah. Once I stopped doing it, I just. I kind of lost most of it. I can understand to a degree, but when they start going crazy, it's like, whoa, okay, it's not happening. So. So it's me and my schoolmates, we're walking around Nice, France, in the off season. So Nice is a beach area, and it's like the off season. So it was the winter time. Very cold, rainy, windy, stuff like that. So we're looking for a spot to just go, like, grab a beer, hang out, whatever. And we find this. You want to talk about people that move different? Like, we. We watch everything around us. We just built like that. There's a lot of people that don't. A lot of my school. A lot of my schoolmates are from Connecticut. A lot of them are from Massachusetts. You know, they're not. They're not in presently looking. I call it being hyper aware. Yes. When you, like from New York, you're hyper always. It's everybody. This is how we are. I'm watching faces, I'm watching hands. I'm watching everything. I just want to know. And it's not even a paranoia thing. It's just, I want to know everything that's going on. Math on. You say that. Yo, Even in the gym, right? Yo, I look at every single face in the gym. Every single face. I don't care who you are. Your face has to go into my memory bank. Yep. I do not care, because I might see you in a random place, some random might happen. And I know where the I seen you at last time. It's in the Rolodex. Yo. And like, yo. I mean, every single person, like, I have to fully look at you. Like, I. I don't know what it is like. And look, remember I told you before. I was got that neural link, before. The bodybuilding, I was gonna become a cop because, like, yo, bro, I would make the perfect cop. Like, I'm literally on that same. Like, I'm on that type of time. Yeah. But back to you, the same. So we find a spot. It's like the only spot that's open. And just right off the bat, just sketch. So it was just like in a down alley. They're like, come on, let's go in. And I'm just like, this might not be the spot that I think it's going to be. I'm like, I'll entertain it. So we're walking in and the dude at the front door, I don't remember the French of it, but I remember him saying it to me. And I talked to him just very briefly. He said some shit like, it's €20 per cart coat coming in here to drop your coat off. And everybody has to take their coat off and give it to the person behind the coat desk. So I was just like, okay. So I relayed the message to everybody. They just go, okay. Now there's a couple of dudes in the group that are from Jersey, and they just don't have the mental capacity that you're no longer in Jersey. Oh, they think they're in charge. Yeah, you're not in charge. So now I. I take my coat off, I'm with a couple of girls in the front. We walk in. We haven't given our coats to the woman behind the counter yet. But literally, people that are audio definitely don't understand. But people that are video still won't understand. Cause you don't understand the space that we're in in my studio. Cause I don't have a wide cam. But the bar was maybe double this. It really was not that big. Okay, so we walk in, Couple of the guys are behind us. They're talking to their, you know, the bouncers, just like, I guess patting them down, whatever, whatever. And we're about to give our coats to the woman. And two of the guys that I was with start getting into some shit with the bouncer. And he's like, no, get your fucking hands off me. He goes to the bouncer. Now, the second that the. The second that the commotion now, my hair, my. My arm hairs are standing up. I'm like, bro, we are not in the US Anymore. You watch what the fuck you say? We don't know where this goes, dude. The second that the voice is raised, three people came out of a back room one way, couple people came out, another side that you didn't even see a door in. And I turn around, I look at them, and I go, yo, chill the fuck out. Like, yo, this is not what you want to do here right now. And then I, I. I go to the bouncer. I said, hey. I said, I'm sorry, you know, friend. Stupid. I was like. I was like, we'll leave. You know, keep the money that I paid already. We're cool. Straight up. I said, we're gonna dip. Don't worry about it. Blah, blah. And my. No, no. He's, like, trying to get into it. I go, someone bring him outside. Shut the fuck up. What is wrong with you? And now the dudes are just standing there, waiting to see what's about to happen. I mean, and the dude at the front door, he goes like this to me. Literally just taps me on the shoulder, goes like this. He goes, because of you, he not fuck up. Get fucked up. I'm like, we're out. Yeah, cuz, get the fuck out. Yo, you will never be seen again, bro. Yeah, I can only try to save you so much. And then it's like. I was like, bro, keep the money. We're good. I'm not getting beat up by these French guys. No, I'm not. I'm not dealing with this. This like, half a gangst bar. I'm not doing it. That's what you want to do. Go ahead and get beat up today, dog. I had outside, I had to explain. I'm like, dude, I don't think you realize we're not in the States, dude. You can't be acting a fool like that, man. You need to watch what you say. Chill out. And I'm the only one that speaks a little bit of French. And just like you said, bro, this ain't the us. Two dudes, two, three dudes just showed up out of nowhere, bro. Big. Like, these guys just showed up out of nowhere, nowhere. That as if they opened the door and they just, like, appeared. I'm like, somebody wish them here. How'd they get here so quick? Yeah, dude, that was the first thing. The second thing is you asked how I am. I'm good. From the beginning, yo. Hilarious. I'm good, man. I'm good. You know, just doubling down on my own content. That's really what I'm figuring out. It's weird for me to film my own workouts and stuff. What do you mean? I'm doing some workout stuff because I'm getting ready for the tactical game games. Wait, you're filming your own content? Yeah. Oh, I just. So I. I don't know if you're familiar with the Buttery Bros. The Buttery Bros are big CrossFit guys. They used to be on the side of production for the CrossFit games and then they broke off, they created their YouTube channel and essentially they just create videos for a living in. Within the CrossFit space. They'll go, they'll go overseas. They'll do like vlog style stuff. Oh, they'll do like challenges with other athletes. They're rain athletes as well. And my buddy Matt DiLorenzo, who is the owner of Tear, who I'm gonna get on the podcast at some point, he asked me, you know, when we could sit down and chop it up, because he's looking to do more media stuff now. He's the one who showed me them years ago before I started filming the rain stuff. And I got to know them personally. Oh, okay. Which was cool. Cause I was like, oh shit. Like, my boy Matt showed me you guys. This is sick. I know you guys from yout. And so when I had them on the podcast at the Arnold a few years ago, you know, one of the things that they made inherently clear is they don't just get retainer deals in terms. And when I say that they're not being paid directly by the company to essentially work for the company, what they're doing is they're producing the videos at their own pace. They bring their own user. They call it UGC User Generated Content. They bring their own flair to their own videos. And the company pays them to have these things featured in the videos, essentially. So as opposed to me going, hey, I'll build you out XYZ video campaigns. The company knows the content that you produce. Podcast, maybe workout stuff. And look, we just want you incorporating it into the, into the actual video. Keep doing what you're doing and just put our shit in it. So when I heard them say that, I became interested in it. Retainers, clients, they shift, they come and go. It just. That's part of the game. It just is what. What it is. And it's not. It's not Necessarily, like a, we don't want to work with you ever again. No, it's just a. We're just going a different direction for this, and we'll. We'll circle back at it at a time that makes more sense. That's just the name of the game. Yeah. That's just what it is. And look, that's why you always have to be doing the next thing. Exactly. And for a while, I wasn't. I was so. Oh, you were stuck in your retainers. I was stuck in my retainers. And it's easy. You. I mean, you're making a band. You're sitting here, you're like, damn. Like, things are comfy. And then all of a sudden, things shift and you go, oh, okay, now I got to get that hunger back again. Yes. Because you're like this. Well, I'm not broke, but it's uncomfortable. I don't like the level of comfort because it's not necessarily uncomfortable. I like the level of comfort I had before. Exactly. So, I mean, the podcast has always been something that I want to grow, and I can. It's a slow growth, man. It just is, I think. And I say this. I said this a couple episodes ago. I'll say this again. Like, I always use Joe Rogan as an example, just because he. Look, I'm mad that I didn't bring my external hard drive. You know? Why? Why? Because. Yo, bro, I think we can get the numbers up just with the videos I have. Oh, with the. With these podcast. We didn't. We didn't chop enough of them. Yeah. I feel like there's way more bars in them that we didn't chop. I have them. I have them all in that big. And I. And I remember you telling me that how you have the. How you have the AI do it now. Yeah. If you went through. Remember you just started doing that last year with the AI. If we go back to the beginning, bro, like, I know each. Each one's got to have at least 20 videos. Oh, yeah. I mean, listen, I did a lot of that. So it's. It's. It's 50. 50. Because the AI I use for just quick clips on YouTube and whatnot, just to get some extra. And TikTok, just to get some extra content out there. However, the videos that I shot myself, I don't know if the algorithms know that I'm pushing with AI, which I think they do, obviously. That's what I was going to say to you. I've seen higher numbers when I post. My chop versus this to you, I was going to say. I think, though. All right, so I think there needs to be a goal of how many reels you want to get out of each one. And I think you do have to watch them and cut them yourself, because that's what I meant. That's why I was like, yo, I got to come here on my external hard drive so you can give me all the episodes. And then I would just literally watch them. Watch them while I do cardio. And. And I would just. I would just mark all of timestamps. Yeah. Time stamp all of them come. Because, yo, I can just drop them on frame. I use frame IO. I could just drop them on frame. We have hilarious ass shit, bro. Yeah, we do. Like, I mean, like, yo, first of all, all the ones we have put out have been hit, and it's like, we have so much more we could put out still. You remember. You remember. Do you remember the first fucking. The first fucking video that went crazy? I don't. You know it. You know it. Come on. Which. What's the. I can't think of. What's the first one. Come on. You know it. Let's see the first one. I don't. Yo, bro, I can't even be. Cuz we've done a lot of pods, bro. Yeah, look, look, there you are. Look, Jamal. 1.5 mil. Me. 3.4. You. 2.9 million. That was the clip that popped off. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, blast my personal on social. Every time. I got to remind. We leave that to the chick. Oh, look at the numbers, dude. Look at the numbers. Yeah, we let. We leave. Just look at the numbers. Come on, bro. Yeah, the numbers are crazy. Look at the numbers. Yeah, so. Oh, numbers popped. Yeah, some salty people in those comments. It was hysterical. That's what you want. Yeah, I know, I know. Yeah, I did a. I did a. And I'm not gonna get into this debate with you because I don't know the stats like Jamal does. Does. But Jamal and the guy that he brought on Dr. Eugene a couple of podcasts ago, 178k views. On the. On the clip that I put up, they were debating MJ versus LeBron, bro. A lot of fucking people commenting on that shit. So look, right? It's mj, and it's not even a question. You want me to tell you why? Oh, man, I got to bring you back so you and Jamal can debate because he's a LeBron guy, yo. Yeah, LeBron took 20 seasons to get. Oh, no, no, no. We can't doing 20 seasons to get them numbers. We can't do it. Jordan did in 12. We can't do it. I mean, you needed damn near another. Another whole career to get those numbers, bro. And you still didn't. And you still didn't beat, like, the numbers. He has the. The rings you didn't beat. You lost mad times in the finals. You lost more times than you won. Listen, like, listen. And I like the guy. I'm not a LeBron hater. We going to do. It's just not a debate, bro. Nah, I'm not debate. I don't. I didn't say you to debate him. I'm just saying. Oh, yeah. I don't even. I'm not. I'm not a basketball guy. So look, right? This is how I do it with the LeBron and the LeBron Jordan. Like, yo, Dre, who you like in the LeBron Jordan? I'm like, Jordan, yo, Jamal, who you like? LeBron. And then once Jamal start going, I'mma go, yo, you got it. I don't debate that, bro. Yo, me and the homies was in the DM one day debating that. Yo, look, I was on side sideline because it was so funny. Yo, my two homies was going so hard, I thought it would. Yo, so it's two homies going hard, and it's about four of us on the sideline in the group chat, and all we doing is giving emojis. Like, all we do is giving them up. Yo, bro, yo, they started sending memes. Cause, yo, they go on the Internet and they finding memes about the other one they posted. Yo. Like, I was like, now with AI, they're generating the memes right there, here. And look, at the end of the conversation, we was like, there was a more compelling argument for Michael Jordan. The witnesses have spoken. I think it was 4 to 2. We voted more compelling argument for Michael Jordan. And look, none of us said nothing. We just said we was just calling balls and strikes and writing hello emojis. Because the was hilarious. I'm sure when the meme started coming in. Oh my God, the Jordan cry, crying meme. They had mad LeBron memes. Oh, God. Yo, cuz, I mean, we like, listen, I don't think women actually, I do think women understand this, and I think they be mad at us for this. I don't think they understand how simple men are, yo. So simple. I think they'd be low key mad about it. Yo. Like, why the can you be happy with just that? Just hanging, hanging out. I'm just hanging Out. Like, wait a minute. So you had the greatest time doing that? Yeah, I did. I did have the greatest time doing that. And I didn't need much. Like, when they show. When they showed all the one meme on it, and they're like, I don't know how guys can live. Like, oh, yes, it's just a tv. And, like, yo, the bed spring on the floor, the TV one, he. He had like. He had, like, the plastic dresser with the TV on. One DVD. Damn, we're good hanging out. PlayStation. Yeah, that's it, man. Hours of entertainment right there. I'm just hanging out mobbing like Marvin. Like, Yeah, I don't think they realize a lot of these things too. Yo, 90% of men would live like. That if it wasn't for y'all trying to impress. If we didn't have to entertain y'all at all. Like. Like, look, if it was said, like, all the entertainment happened at the women's houses and, like, men just slept at their houses, I think every man would live like that. Yo, if I had a girlfriend. You think she's letting Jay Cutler's quad stomp picture in the bedroom? You think she's letting Jay Cutler's quad stomp picture in the bedroom? Waking up, looking at Jay every morning. I want that. I want that. Whoa. Yo, he would come home one day and he'd have, like. He'd have like a picture of, like some roses there or some shit. Where's Jay? That shit had to go. The fuck it did. It better be in the hallway. Then we moved Jay to Jason. Jay got demoted to the garage. You put greatness in the garage? How dare you? Jesus. So to pivot, because I want to get to you. Oh, shit. Where Pivot. So, yeah, so the content putting, I'm going to be putting. I'm going to be putting more out there. I'm going to be prepping for the tactical games. What is this? That is CrossFit mixed with shootings. Yeah, so there's a couple coming up in Arizona. Get a staccato or what, bro? I didn't get staccato. I actually have a Walther now. I have a Walther PDP Pro. You like it? I fucking love, love it. Oh, yeah. It's ridiculous. Did you. You get some add ons on? I have an Acro on top. The acro P2, the mailbox, the red dot. It's phenomenal. It's phenomenal. So that is some of the content. Like, I'm training physically for it. I want to start putting out more. Stuff on that because people got to remember like shooting is a, it is a sensory thing and it is a mind thing, but it is also a physical thing. Yes. And the republic matter. Yep. People, I think you're like, you ever watch like a video of like a shootout or like cops in a dangerous situation? And you ever see like, like when the shots fire how slow some cops actually do react to pulling out their gun? Because it's just because they don't have the reps. That's why like the X Men military guys, they be on it. Ex military guys be on it. I just, I just took a certificate not to cut you. I just, I just took a certification class guess and they said something like the NYPD hit rate is I think under 10%. Terrible. Under 10%. And what the problem is because after. So the ex military guys have a lot of tactical training, but a lot of people, once they become cops and they've been on the job, they don't. Practice shooting well, they have to recall, I think yearly, that's it. But, but like they don't do it. In the free time. They don't do it and look to recall. Like, all right, so look. Right. Re qualing and being able to shoot in a stressful situation is two completely different things. Yeah, very chill looking at a target in an air conditioned room. And like, and like when you, when you learn tactical shooting, like you learn how to, you learn how to take cover, you learn how to shoot from behind cover. Because like people don't understand like as, like, yo, like maybe as a civilian it might not matter, but if some went down it would. But like as a police officer, these things matter. Yo, you have to be always ready. Like as a police officer, just like a regular cop, not being SWAT or special Forces. Yo, you're going to be outgunned by a lot of people walking around with Dracos and nowadays running around Glocks with switches on. Switches. Yep. All you got is a service, your service pistol. I'm sorry, you're going to. You can be outgunned. Really? When was the last time that service pistol was fucking loose, bro? So yo, like, and look, but you know what's funny? I mean, my man will tell you this because he, my homie, he worked for Suffolk county and he's like, trey, where I live, I mean where I work, there is zero danger. I am a paid counselor with a gun. He said 98% of my calls are domestic disputes. Whether it's between you and your neighbor, your the wife and the Kid like, whatever this domestic dispute is, is like any. He goes, and 90% of those are civil problems. Not even mine. He's like. He's like, just come to do the paperwork. That's that. And that was their running joke between them. Yeah. What do you got to do for that? Oh, make sure you write a report. Make sure you write a report. He's like, we don't do nothing. Besides, we. We have to de. Escalate situations and write reports. Yep. My boy's down in Volusia County County. And they get wild down there in Florida. Oh, oh, Volusia county is insane. All my. All my law enforcement friends, they all know every time I say my buddy's a cop, he's a sheriff. Sheriff in Volusia, they go, oh, yeah, but look, right? I. So you know what? You know what? I respect the. Out of Florida PD and even the Georgia State PD you have. Yo, bro, when you watch the videos on Cops and you see all the pit maneuvers, yo, that be Georgia. All that is Georgia State Police. State Police. Do not play Yick. Yo, yo, yo, yo, go on YouTube and type in Georgia State Police. Yo, yo, mancom. And I'm not talking about the city cops. I'm talking about the Georgia State Police. Yo, they are wicked wild. I mean, like. And look, when you see all of them jump out the car, yo, they all built mad, stocky, and ready to fight, too. Every you. I'm like, yeah. Oh, I see what y'all doing in Georgia State. Y'all must have qualifications. Remember, remember Gears of War? They look like Gears of War characters. Yeah. And, yo, they be pit maneuvering people, yo. Florida Police. Florida State Police be doing the same. Yo, don't play. How should I say this? Yo, when there's all that open land, man, the hillbillies be a little different, yo. They move different. They act different. Yo. They like, like. I mean, yo, every, like, be funny, yo, because, like, every race of people has the same people. Like, that's why I don't even understand why people's racist, bro. Because it. Yo, like, yo, listen. The same shitty black people that black people got the same or the same shitty white people that white people got. They're the same shitty people, you know? Like, so I don't even understand white people's racist, bro. Every just tinted a little differently. We all got shitty people and good people, bro. We all got them. I've always. That's why I've always said, I don't care what you look like as long as you're good people. That's all I care. Like, I'd be like, bro, it don't even make sense, bro. Like. Like I said, like, even with the cops, like, there's no. White cops are not racist. There's racist white cops. That's like, no, they're scumbags of everything, bro. And there's great people of everything, so. But them hillbillies in. In Florida, they'd be a little different, yo. Oh, dude, he'll FaceTime me sometimes. He'll be like, you don't even know what I'm going to right now. He'll be. He was on. On New Year's eve, he was FaceTiming me as he was. He was like, should I get this motherfucker? He's doing 70 down here. I go get him. He goes, turn around. Yeah, I'm watching him. He's out the car. He's doing tickets and shit. He just goes. He goes, let me turn the camera, Dash. Yo, my homeboy used to be a detective. And, yo, I used to do that every day. Yeah, every Entertaining. That's more entertaining than anything on HBO, Max. I just talked to him on FaceTime while he had in the car, and he'd be like, yeah. Oh, yo, I'm about to get this dude. He flipped the camera. Like, you're sitting there like this, eating cereal. You're like, oh. And yeah, I could get him. I could say this, though. He had all the times he pulled people over. He only gave tickets twice. He let everybody rock. He just put them over. Like, I just want to see do it. I gave him a warning. I just want to see what they up to. I see what's up. That was a state trooper pulled me over one time back when I was 18 years old. I had the rizzle plate. I literally was going to a 5am meeting at best Buy. I drove past him. I drove past him, and he's giving a ticket to somebody. And I just watch him because I have my loud exhaust this. I just watch him. He gives the ticket. He looks. I'm on the Southern State. He looks and I just see him go. As I'm passing, he just, like, his head just follows me all the way around. I went, yeah, going to get that guy. Fuck, he's gonna come. I'm going to get him. Dude, it's five in the morning. I'm like going to a Best Buy. I worked at Best Buy. I was going to a store meeting, and literally, I look, he's in the left lane. I'm in the slow lane. I see him coming up I go, all right, cool. He's just passing me. And then I look and I look. Behind you, I look right behind you. I look, I'm like, he ain't in the left lane no more. I look at the rear view behind me. Right behind me. Pulls up to me, I go, I go, morning, officer, how you doing? He just goes, okay. I go, okay, what? He goes, just wanted to see what a rizzle's was. I just walked away. I was like, what the fuck, yo, I'm dead. You can't fuck with me like that. Yo, bro, look, I mean, yo, these are the like. All right, so in that situation, like I'm. Because I'm putting my. Myself in the, in his body, right? Like if I'm him. Yo, bro, I just want to see what. Like I'm bored. I gotta get see what a rizzles. Is some action out here I got to do. Yeah. I'm like, yo, the job just gave my ticket. I'm good. Job is slow. Like, I was, I was just yawning in the car. I got that guy, pulled him over. So now I'm up. Y'all want to see what originals was? I was like, just me. And then I was like, we were like waving to each other as I left. Like we were old college buddies. Yeah, peace. I'm out. Like, I don't understand this bad. Like, I just don't have bad experiences with cops. I just don't. Maybe I got that. I just know how to act like you're like, I'm the most calm person. I don't be nervous. What am I nervous for? And like when I'm trying to, I'm not arguing with that girl. He's like, he's like, yeah, he's like, this happens. I don't know what the. They dealt it. Yeah, I don't know because I'm like just carrying on. Like, you think that I'm gonna be in the middle of the road arguing with some 19 year old girl and her dad about how she hit my car. I'm say, oh, yo, he came back with the paper when I was vehicle one. I looked, I said, oh, she got geico tweezing. Yeah, yeah, easy, peace. I said, cool. And yo, this is what the funny part is, right? So now I'm driving off, I'm. I'm. Yo, it's not even a lot of damage, bro. I'm like, I'm like, watch, I'mma call up and I'mma get the estimate and all that. And I'm not even gonna get no bread. And I'm gonna have to pay because my deductible is like 500 a band. And I already know this. Probably not even gonna be more than what my deductible. Deductible is because I'm taking to my homeboy. He got the body shop. And I know he gonna be like, Dave. Like, no, no, no. Right up the block from David. Okay, Chris. Okay, Chris. But when I bring it to Chris, I know what he gonna say to me. Yo, because look, I don't call the insurance companies. Like, when I get an accents, I go right to Chris. His wife sit in the front. She gonna be like, cool. What happened? She gonna boom, right on computer. Then she gonna call up on the phone and she's gonna be like, here, give your statement to them. I'm gon. And then boom. She can be like, all right, cool, Enterprise and go get your rental. Yep, that's happening. That's happened to me with the bus. I don't have to do like. She does everything for me. I know when I go there, Chris gonna be like. He gonna look at the car and be like, yo, bro, I'm gonna just fix your for 200, bro. Don't put it in the claim for this. Call it a day, cuz. You don't want the to raise. He's gonna be like, bro, like, I'm not gonna put like. He's like, let's see if the puts in the claim. I let. I let Geico fight the bus company. Go fight them. I'm. I'm not doing doing this. Yeah. Cause look, bro, it was like eight. Grand worth of damage. They do. He ripped my door like the. That's what happened. He was too far over the center line. Oh, they do. Oh, buses do this all the time. He was too far over the center line. And yo, his hubcap ripped open my door. I'm like. So then I'm. I'm flagging this mother. Kenji was in the car, just. I just left the card shop. I just bought my cards. Made sure you flagged his ass down. I flagged him down like, yo, what. The are you doing? You just hit. And he's just like. Pulls the bus over. He gets out. And I said. And I'm fuming now. Cause I'm just like, oh, my God. And I literally get out the car and I just go. I just wanna let you know I'm not mad at you. I'm mad for right this second at the situation that I got a big hole in my door. He goes, I hit You. I go, do you see the large yellow line across the door? Yes, my brother. Yes. You hit me. Yes, brother. You hit me, brother. You hit me. Yeah, you hit me. We waited an hour and a half, a half for the cops to come because no one was hurt. Oh, not. Yo, bro. We were hanging out, bro. Bro, we were hanging out. I actually like the guy at the end. He's telling me all the martial arts stuff he does, and I'm like, oh. This is sick, bro. The cops was on the scene in. Three minutes, not me. That's why when you said that this morning, I was like. I was in. I was in Bougie ass Mount Sinai, though. No, I was in Deer park, where I was at. They. They pulling up right away. Where I was at. They pull it up right away. Dude, let me see. I thought it was funny. Or let me see Car. Let's see if it's car. Yeah. Trying to see if it comes up. Or go to your. Your people or just type in source object. I would type in car. Or I would. Or I would. What you call it? I would go to my people. Your car should be one of your people. If you take enough pictures of it. Is it really? Yeah, if you take enough pictures, it will be. Dre, I was so mad just because of the situation. I was like, this is not what I fucking want. I don't be caring no more. And, like, I'll say this. Well, that's why after. After, I just kind of just, like, shrugged, and I was like, whatever. They let them deal with it, man. And on top of that, that's. It's the Pathfinder, bro. It's not my baby. Oh, yeah. I mean, like, if it was my baby, I'd be pissed because no matter what, the value of the car is going down just because I got a carfax. Well, that's. That's my problem with the truck. The truck's value went down, and it's. Like, got a car. You got a carfax on it. Oh, and did they consider that a major accident or. No, I don't know. I didn't even look. Didn't even look. I was. Honestly, I was kind of just like, what? What? Whatever. Like, you know, what am I going to do? Let me see if I can get this picture for you. And then I want to hear when. You take the carfax hit, I tell everybody the best thing for you to do is trade it into a dealership. Then. Yeah. You know, and. And prices are just still insane, and the dealers are barely budging even though they're basically making money. But this is what the worst part is, though. Rizzle. Rizzle. Oh, rip that door open with the hubcap. Yeah, rip that door open with this huge hubcap. That's why. That's that slashing. Yep. I see that whole hole in it too. Yeah, I wouldn't have been happy about that. I was tight. But I mean, like, what are you gonna do exactly? Like, what am I gonna do? And look, you can see the level. Perfect. To where the tire is. To where my door is. Yep. So whatever is what it is, man. Were you vehicle number one? I don't know. I don't remember, honestly. The cop. The cops came through. Came through. He just go. He literally goes, all right, what happened? And I just go driving north northbound on dpa. I hear a big bang. I look to my left, the bus is rim, rim ripped over my door. And we pulled over. I had to flag him down. We pulled over. He goes, who was two was too far over the. Over the center line. And we both looked at each other. We're just like. I'm like. He didn't say I wasn't. I didn't say I wasn't. He goes, okay. He walked away, did the report, and that was it. So I think it was like a 50. 50 case. Yep. I was like, whatever. Insurance figure out. Yeah, whatever. That's why I said, fucking deal with it. I don't fucking care. Insurance just figures out. I'm like, I don't care. I just. I, I. I'm so beyond giving a fuck about this. I mean, because that. You're like, what am I gonna do? Yo? I'm the person that don't. Yo, sorry. I don't like to carry. I don't carry burdens, emotions, or any of that thing into other things. I do. I can compartmentalize everything so that meaning, like, that can't ruin my day. I refuse to let something like that ruin the rest of my day because of that. Like, no way in hell. Normally, I'm on that same brainwave. However, I was having a shitty couple of days, and I just. It was just not the. It was like one of the things that I just didn't need to deal with. That was the third bad thing that happened. Yeah, Dealing with bad things. And it was like. Well, I just moved into my new apartment. It was like a straw. It was like it was just becoming too back and forth. The landlord, not. Not negative, but it's like too much back and forth. I was just like, it was just not What? I needed work. I was like, I was just trying to get out the house. I should have fucking stayed home. How long did it take you to get the car fix? It was a while, man. It was like three something, three, four weeks? Yeah, dude, I dropped it off. I dropped it off and I got, I got a. I had a loaner. And truthfully, the loaner was the car I wish I just kept. It was a Toyota Tacoma. I just want. Dude, I want my Toyota. I told you that a while ago. I want to get rid of my luxury and I want to just get my, my forerunner Tacoma Tundra something. And I just want to have that. Yo, like, I didn't realize that forerunners, like used forerunners, like newer ones. Yo, bro, them shits are like in high demand. Like because, yo. Or they say that all of these new forerunners. Yeah, this is what they said. If you do all the maintenance on one, you can get 700000 out of it. 700000 miles and then you do your first oil change. They said that. They said like you'll have to fix dumb like a water pump or something after like 4 or 500,000. But they said, said that motor in that trinity is if you do the maintenance right on that car, that they said, literally, you probably can go a million on it. That's the V6. Now the, now the new four runners, the 20, 25, four runners are dope. The problem is they put a four cylinder in it. And now I don't know if you saw the news with Toyota. It's a four cylinder turbo. Yeah, we don't like turbos though. In the four cylinders I know they beat up, they beat up the motor and then eventually the turbo, you have to replace turbos. Yep. And turbos are not, not cheap. They're anywhere from you on average. They're anywhere from like two on the very, very low end. If you could find one. Yo, that, that turbo is not gonna be 2, 000. If you could find one used. Cheap, cheap. But, but no, you can't put a used turbo in your car because you don't know where it came from. If you find it at like a impound lot and the car had a low mileage or something like that, you're really trying to scrap together. It's still rough because you're gonna have to take that turbo apart. You don't know what the internals look like. Yeah, well, let's say, let's say the engine was only had like 15,000 miles on it. If that but you still don't know what the internals of that turbo looks like, bro. But let's say that it was all drive diff. Yo, yo, bro, you got to remember, some cars break at 10,000 miles because of how the person was driving it. Yeah. Like, before I bought a used turbo, I'd rather go buy a China turbo for. For 1200 bucks. China Turbo, low key. I've been doing a lot of research because I just be doing mad different. Yo, yo, all the people in the forum say, all those China Turbos t on Teemo work just as good. They said, bro, they said, people be shook because they said, look, yo, they're breaking down that part numbers. And like, they were breaking down. They were like, look, if you really break down the part numbers and all this. This part is being made by the same exact people that the Toyota part is made for. They're just not selling it to the dealership. So that's why you're getting it for$5 instead of paying $400 for it. And they said, look at all the branding. Look at all the markings. Yeah, everything's. Everything's identical. Everything is the same on it. Yeah. They said, look at the metal. Look at the. Look at the color of the metal. Like, because they break down it. Because, yo, I was watching this whole YouTube video of they were breaking down on how to find, how to match up the manufacturers for different things. Yeah. And they broke it down that. On. Yo. They said, yo, TEU has every single thing damn near teemu. And what's the other one? What's the other one that people order shit from China on? Oh, I know what you're talking about. Alibaba. Alibaba. And they. Your Alibaba is bigger than Teemo. Alibaba. That was the one. Alibaba. They was like, yo, every single yo Turbos fucking yo, Brembo break kits. Like, they had all of this different shit. And they were like. And the dude was breaking down. He was like, now he's like, with the brakes, now you're gonna have to. You're gonna have to really take them apart when you get them just to check the manufacturing quality of it. But he's like, that's something that's mechanical. That's life and death. He's like, so me personally, I wouldn't. I wouldn't go with the brakes if the brakes malfunction, bro, you not stopping. He's like, now I put all this other. Yo, they would, like, engine mounts, all of this. They were like, look at the price of This a piece that was like 600. Like, look, this shit's on Alibaba for 17 bucks. Yeah. I was like, whoa. Like, I didn't even notice. They would talk about how I think it was Bugatti, how they charge you so much money for the parts, and their parts are Volkswagen parts. The same thing with Audi. And they. Audi and Lamborghini. I think that's what it was. Lambo. No, I think. I think Bugatti is under that. Under that umbrella, too. It was like a vent piece that cracked, right? And the dude was like, yo, at bugatti, they wanted $2,400 for the piece. He's like, yo. My mechanic was like, he's like, yo, my man founded that Volkswagen for $20. I'm like, oh, I got that same. Vent in a Passat. But you. But look. But it goes to show you that Bugatti's not rich because they make such a quality thing. They do make such a quality thing, but they're so rich because they're finding little loopholes and little ways to even plug more money out of you. Yep. Yo, you. I forgot how many. How many. Yo, you can only change the brakes. I forgot how many times you can change the brakes before you have to get new tire tires. And the tires are mounted to the wheels, so you have to get a new set of wheels. Oh, rims. You're saying, like, yes. The tire does not come apart from the wheel. Oh. For the Bugatti, you're saying, oh. So, like. And I think it's like two or two brake jobs you can do before you have to get a new. Before you have to get new ones. I was like, wait, what? I was like, who has this kind of money? And the guy was just like, the maintenance on this shit is stupid. Stupid. How many break jobs? And then he got rid of. I forgot what he got after he got. Oh, he got a Koenigsegg. Oh, the Koenigseggs are so sick. Cars I would never have dream. Dream cars I'll never be able to own. Depending on the driving style, the Bugatti can typically get several brake jobs before needing new tires, with estimates suggesting you might need new brakes around every 25 to 50,000 miles. Miles. While Bugatti tires often need replacing every 2 to 10,000 miles, depending on. I mean, I guess when you think about it like that, how many people are actually ripping their Bugatti for 2000 miles? It may take a lot of. Those guys are not drivers, though. A year or two. Yeah, that's What I'm saying, you ain't getting if. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If most of these guys are driving it in the Hamptons to like the local store, sitting there looking at all the chicks at SoulCycle and going back. Home, you driving it to cars and coffee in the Hamptons. That's it. You're like. I mean, and you're, you're like, say you were driving it to the gym in the Hamptons, right from your house. That gym is probably about seven miles from your house, if that's. Yeah. Or you got a gym in your own house. Because, like, it's not the kind of. Like most people. Like, you know, there's plenty of people who buy them to drive, but most people buying that shit to flex. And 50,000 plus for the brake job. Not really driving that car now. But there are some people. I mean, listen, people rip the fuck out of. Dude, if I had the loot for it. I'm ripping it. I'm ripping it. I'm buying it. I'm buying it to rip. I'm having way too much. There was a. There was a very well known. Which not well known to me because I didn't know who the fuck he was. But there's a very well known guy that evidently is like a venture capitalist, more real estate kind of guy. I forget his name, but he bought one of the Bugatti's. That is the track only model where you can turn the car on, but you got to get to a track. Otherwise the car overheats in like two minutes. Oh, it has no. Like, it has something specific where it doesn't have the proper ventilation without being driven to cool the engine that he. Has to come out and he's. And the dude's explaining this to him and he's just like. You could see the regret in his face. Meanwhile, he collects cars. So he's got a. He's got a ton of them. But he just, he's. He's like, I can't drive this. What? On this car. I can't just drive it. I wonder what Bugatti that was. Yeah, bro. And look, honestly, I don't ever need Bugatti money because I don't ever want Bugatti money problems. No. Yeah, well, because every level comes with new problems. Problems. So a lot of people don't understand. New levels, new devils. That's true. What Bugatti requires you to drive requires you to drive it instantly. I don't know if I'm getting old and I'm just fucking up on my keyboard more or if the keyboards actually just suck nowadays because the amount of spelling errors that happen are actually infuriating. Dating. I'ma say a little bit of both. Damn. I'm gonna go with the ladder. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm going with the ladder, bro. All day. Because I'd be spelling mad wrong, like. And I'd be like, no way. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, don't. There's no shot. I've been typing on this since I was 15 years old. Backspaced and hit the A five times and it still came up. Yes. Thank you, Mako. Crazy. Thank you. Not bugging, bro. I know why I hit the A. Yo. I don't have to look at the keyboard to type, bro. So why, like, I know. No, I'm not bugging, bro. No, no, no. We do, we do this. We do this. No looking. I'm with you on this one. Rizzles. Bugatti Bolide. Is that what it is? Should have said track only, Bugatti. I mean, Google has got so advanced in chat gp. Oh, there it is. Yes, the Bug Bolide. Yeah, it's a track only hyper sports car that is not intended for use on public roads. And meanwhile, this guy brought it to his house, so he's going to have to track. He's going to have to truck it to the track. Flatbed it to the track. Yeah. Intended for use on public roads. It was developed by Bugatti Engineering. I'm driving that. And manufactured by Bugatti Auto. And look, if I collected cars, I'm not going to lie though. 40. Only 40 made. Oh, shit. Only 40 made. Deliveries were set to start in 2024. It looks like the shit Cristiano Ronaldo has. He's got a crazy Bugatti that was only a couple made. It has a weight to power ratio of 0.91 kilogram per kilogram per watt kilowatt. I don't know what that means. I'd rather have a 1970 Mustang boss over that. It's got four turbochargers. Imagine if one of those goes, goes bad. Oh my God. If you can afford the fucking car. Each, each Turbocharger is probably 50 grand. If that, it's probably more. I, I could see them charging 100, 100 bands for a, for a, a turbo. Tell you, it's funny, you know how cars like that work, right? When you can't replace one turbo, you. Gotta replace all four. Just buy another car. The way the. God, the way the Car set up. You can't replace one. I'm sorry, but we're gonna have to replace all four. It's 57,000 each one, so. Yeah, yeah, just give us. Give us two. 400,000? Yeah. Wait, 400,000, they said. Oh, you gotta remember this maintenance. I mean, the. Yeah, we'll do an oil change while you're there. Got to pay for man hours. You got to pay for work hours. Work hours. How much is it? You know, 900 an hour. What do you think top speed is? 230. More. What? More? 250 more. Who drove this car to go that fast? Know sick people. Cuz I. I understand that like Formula One cars go fast as. Right. Even NASCAR, right? Yeah. Capping out 200 miles an hour as you're going in that circle, that oval. But. No, but my thing is this. Those cars are actually kind of built to go that fast. Yeah, I don't think I want to go 250 miles an hour in the Bugatti. Well, you'd be going more. Yeah, and I wouldn't be going no more because I think I would start. Yo, look. 311, Dre. 311. Kilometers or miles? Miles per hour. 311. Yo, look again. Kilometers or miles? Miles. Look, look, look again. I can't look again. Dre. It's right there. Oh, it's crazy, man. Yo, who drove that? How much does it cost? 4 mil. Who drove that car to 310 miles an hour? I don't know. Christian Koenig. Koenigsegg. Oh, he always be driving that. He do crazy shit on their track. They bought out an old military base in Sweden just so they could test drive their cars. That is. That is gangster. But they needed all the space. That's the ghost. The little ghost logo on the. On the Koenigseggs. So sick. Yo, guys. Time. Now I gotta pee. I gotta piss, too. Holy shit, dude. Are we gonna pause? We could pause. All right, so let's pause. I mean, we've been going two hours. How much longer you want to rip? We just gonna talk about. We gonna talk about competing after then. We done? Do you want to finish up N. I got a pee. Okay, go. Oh, no. I got a. I got a piss. Nick. Damn, son. Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Wait. And we're. And we're back. And we're back. Oh, I forgot about the headphones this time. That's okay. You did good. You did good. Staying on the mic. The headphones. Staying on the mic. You did good. I forgot about the headphones But I don't even remember what he was at it. Let's just transition it. I. Oh, we were talking about the Bugattis, but, yeah, right into. We were talking about the Bugattis, but yeah, right into. Right into. What's going on with Dre? So what we say? Oh, I said, Japan, we going back to Japan. Going back to Japan. So we could start there. So we going back to Japan in June. Right? But we're not going back with Dark Sport for an event. We're going back for the Masters Olympia. Sick. And I'm competing sick. But I gotta qualify first. Okay. It's not saying that like. It's like. It's not saying it like. Oh, like, I just. I mean, I just turned 40 in October, so now I'm. So you got to think about this, right? So the smartest thing to do, right, is to compete the closest to the youngest age you are. That's the best you're going to be, right? Right? So it's like, no, this is the year to go in it and shout out to the homie, Arya. Arya probably not going to do it. Arya's, like, on little highest from bodybuilding right now. He's still in. She still look good, too. Still look good. But he only, like, he not. He doing other right now. But, yeah, so we going to go take that trophy this year, right? But we probably going to end up doing, like, 10 shows this season. So we gonna start off right now as of this Saturday coming up, eight weeks out from, we're gonna start at Tri City in Georgia. Then the week after that, we do in North Carolina. Then two weeks after that, we're going to do Wasatch Warrior. Shout out to the homie, Robin. Now, Robin been trying to get me to do her show for years. Years, yo, and it just hasn't lined up with the right, like, timing for me to go do the show. It's such a dope show, too. Like, she puts on a dope production. Yo, shout out to Robin once again. So I seen her at the Olympia, and I was just like, you know, she gonna. We. We. She gonna come over. We gonna start talking it, like, every single time. It's so, Dre, are you gonna do my show or what? I was just like, like, you know what, Robin? I think this. This year might be the year. I think this might be the year, Robin. I think we can make that happen, right? So the first three shows are Masters, too. So, I mean, Dark Sport pays some good bonuses, right? And they pay bonuses on both sides, so like, you could double up on the bonuses if you win in both sides. So it's like. And look, my thing is this, right? So. So I'm supposed to be doing Pittsburgh, New York, Dubai. I got some other. I'm gonna sprinkle in there, maybe Taiwan, right? So what happened is this. First of all, I took off last year and I feel amazing. I'm in perfect. I'm perfect shape and have no gut issues at all. No inflammation. Like, I mean, taking off last year was the best thing. I've traveled the world, had a dope ass hero, probably one of the best years of my life. Yo, bro, I had a ball. I had a ball, bro. What did you do to fix the gut issues besides just take off? Is there anything specifically? All right, so a couple things. First of all, if you haven't got issues and you have an inflammation, I'm gonna tell you a couple of things you need to stop doing. Number one, stop taking trend. And like, if you're taking trend of gh, those are things that inflame your gut. Like, they inflame everything. So Dave Palumbo tell you about the trend? I watched the video of him talking about any yo, bro, and I'm even on the lowest dose. But he's like, some people's body just ain't to handle it. And he's like, what happens is it puts your gut and your stomach in constant fight or flight. So you basically having a diaphragm spasm the whole time. And that was happening to me. And then, yo, bro, I don't eat much process at all anymore, bro. At all. Like, I used to be a heavy junk eater, bro. We not on that no more, bro. And I don't push food anymore. So. Yo, bro, you know, as bodybuilders, we trying to eat 300, 350 grams of protein a day. Nigh 150 to 200 a day day. Now, like, I'm eating four meals under that six meal. I don't like. I'm not trying to stuff a lot. To constantly put your system through over so many years. Like. And you gotta remember, everyone's body operates differently. My body just ain't built to. My body was never meant to eat all the food. I never liked all my off seasons. I used to eat less food. And then once we got in season, coach used to have to make me eat more food. Like, I'm. I'm just not the guy who likes to eat all the food. I'm just not. Yo, a lot of fasting, bro. I mean, like, for long periods of times. Like, yo, I, I would, yo, bro, I would fast for like 24 hour clips at like four day stretches. So I would fast for 24 hours, eat one meal, fast for 24 hours, eat one Meal, fast for 24 hours, eat One meal, do that four day stretch. And yo, once you start fasting, you realize how much food your body does not need. I mean, I never looked. Yo, bro, I look fuller. Straight up fasting. Like, my muscles look better fasting than I do if I ate only protein. Like, so you know those low carb days where you feel flat that you don't feel that flat when you fast. That flatness does not exist. Like, I mean, and you're like, yeah, I did so much reading and just so much studying on it. Like, hunger cues don't mean that you have to eat. Just because you got one or two hunger cues, that doesn't mean your body's dying and you need to go eat. It doesn't. And then like, yo, mad things that after 17, 18 hours of fasting and only, only as I was going to. Ask you, doing 18, six. No, no, I'm doing 24 at a clip. Okay, but like, but the sweet spot is 18. Yeah, right? So after 17 hours, your body starts repairing its cells. So what. What happens after g. What happens? Not having food? Because what, what the problem is in your body is the glucose. It's always the glucose, bro. That's what every, every. Everything bad in your body binds on to. Glucose and carbs, bro. Like, they're calling Alzheimer's disease type 3 diabetes because. Because what it is is glucose in the brain, right? That's what Alzheimer's is, right? Yeah. You see how I know? Because you got to remember, glucose and mucus is the, are the two enemies to, to the body. And it's just like cancer, yo, bro, you start fasting and you stop, you stop eating carbs when you have cancer, you're starving that you're starving the. Starving the cells, the cancer cells, the. Cancer cells need that glucose to survive. So what I realized is just, yo, so I did so much reading and all that, right? And I realized, and I learned that, yo, after 17 hours of fasting, what your body does is this. The cells start saying to themselves, yo, what's up with that cell over there? We got CL. A clean house, right? Like, yeah, something's faulty with that cell, yo. Let's go over there and repair it, yo. Oh, this one's a little up too. Let's, let's, let's do this this? Oh, that one's. That one's fixed. All right. So what it does is your body starts attacking its own cells to fix them, not to kill themselves no more. So what I realized after, like, so what I realized that after that, like, four days of fasting. Like four days in a row of fasting. Yo, dude, you're like. When I tell, yo, dude, my gut went from like having all this distension and inflammation to. So I started realizing, like, yo, I'm not even in stage shape. And then I'm realizing I'm looking on the scale and I'm like, wait, like, even now I only weigh like 204 pounds. I'm eight pounds off stage weight. Like, I didn't even start dieting for real yet. So what I realized is your brows walking around with like 10 pounds of influence inflammation, like chronic inflammation every day that I'm walking around with, and it just becomes a part of you. Yeah, you just get used to it. You refuse to feeling that way. Yo. Like, yo, even Joey said it. We're shooting for dark sport. And like, I turned around in the transition that I'm doing, just like, I was just posing my back and I just turned around, like, not even like, not full blown posing, just like, in casualness. Yeah. And he's like, he came over and he's like, yo, bro, what the did you do, bro? He's like, yo, bro, your gut has no, no, hang to it, bro. He's like, usually in some of these, in some of the. In some of the, Some of the transitions, when you take a breath, you'll see your stomach just hang out a little bit. He's like, bro, what the tension, yo, I have no gut hang at all. And I've realized all these things. And yo, dude, like, I had to get that. So now say I eat junk now, right? What I realized this, the inflammation don't stay. So it's not as severe in anymore, and it's gone right away. Like, so basically my liver is actually pro. My liver and my intestines are actually processing these things now again. And even the gear, bro, like, what I realized is, like, even with the gear, my body wasn't even getting the nutrients from the gear, right? Yo, right now all I take is testosterone. I run nothing else. I don't run no trend, no Winnie, no nothing. No, I don't even take anti estrogen, bro. Don't even take anti, bro. And I. This is the best I've ever felt. And so even, like, I had another combo with Dave Palumbo. Just like, two weeks ago. Like, because you gotta remember, like, yo, what's really cool about me is I got some dope ass, like, mentors in the game. Like, yo, I can reach out to anybody and call them. Like, I don't gotta email nobody and wait. I don't gotta dm. Like, no, Like, Jay Cutler. Yeah, bull. Yo, Jay. Like. Like, that's how my go. So I'm like, yo, I remember Dave's video with Dave and talking about the train. I'm gonna call Dave. I was like, called Dave. And he's like, yo. I'm like, dave, what up is Dre? He's like, yo. And I could hear he's on the. He's on the phone with somebody else on another phone. Yo, he. He hung up the phone with them. Hey, I got something else. Yo, yo, let me call you back, bro. I'm like, oh, well, he hung up on for me. Cool. So I'm like. So I'm like, dave, yo, check it out. So I tell him what's going on. I start talking about the. And I'm just telling him, and, like, he just wanted me to tell him everything first, right? So I tell him everything. He's being quiet, and then he's like. He goes, well, Dre, I'm gonna tell you this. He goes, when I met you, you were natty and you looked like a freak. He goes, guys like you that are genetically gifted do better on less drugs. He's like, them shits ain't made for you. They're made for the people who don't look like you. He's like. He's like, bro, especially in men's physique. He's like, nah. He's like. He's like, bro. He's like, yeah, don't ever take that trench again. He's like, if that's what you're telling me, that shit's not for you. He's like, I don't even care about low dose. He's like, don't ever take that again. I'm like, do I need to substitute it with anything? He's like, no. He's like, bro, you have all the dense muscle you need already. You're perfect for this division, bro. You don't need none of that. He's like, testosterone, Some Winnie, bro. When you get, like, 10 days out, take some Halo. And that's it. Bet. Check, bet. So we so like. And I'm going through it and like, yo, I look awesome already, bro. And I'm just like, okay. So now that I feel Healthy because. So I. Let's roll back the tape now, right? The reason why I used to do so many shows, yo Bristles. Once I get in stage shape, I don't take a lot of drugs. I can hold that shit for forever. The reason, like the reason why most people can't compete for a whole 10 month stretch is because you have to take time off the drugs, bro. Yep. Well, if I'm not running all the drugs, bro, the I got to take time off of after I'm in shape. I don't have to. Once I get in state shape, all I have to do is 25 minutes to 35 minutes of cardio a day, stay on my diet 90. I can still add in whenever the I want to and I will look the same every single day. So I'm in a good spot with that. So like me, I'm just like. I was like, I'm telling, oh, and I want to do it. He's like, oh. So we run it up. He's like, I'm calling this the Rebirth. He's like, cuz. He's like, yo, you in a whole new body again. This is my fourth body in bodybuilding. I used to tell people I was up to my third body because yeah, I remember I came in natty. That was a nanny body, right? Then I want to say, say like about like 35, my body changed again. And then like at 39, it changed again. And I can say now I'm in a whole different body because now like. Freeze it with all the forms and now everything's healthy. And I'm like, I'm kind of back to the beginning health with the newer muscle and newer body. So it's like I'm in a. I'm in a great spot. So it's like, all right, let's see how you. Let's see how you feel when you fully get in shape. Let's see what the gut looks like. Let's see all of that. See how you feel. Let's see how you look. If you actually get to where you need to get to, don't bro. Run it up and just go do a bunch of shows. Why not? And the beauty of it is rizzles. There was never money on the stage. A pro show used to pay you any between 2 and $3,000 no matter what show it was. Besides the Arnold and the Olympia, right. Dubai was 40k last year. Your second place got 15 bands. I think Dubai's going up to 60k this year. Pittsburgh just went up to 25 000. First place New York pro's gonna go up all of these international shows. The bread's done gone up. Yo, bro, I can. Yo, look, I already get a bag off the stage like I'm Gucci. I. I used to call the show money candy money, bro. That was the parts for the Trackhawk, bro. Or like, yo, bro, I go to the show and like I'm with my baby mom and she like, oh, what's up with the check money? I'm just endorse the check to it. There you go, there you go. Yo, I don't need the money. And if you asking what's up with the check? You asking what's up with the check? Cause you were like, listen, ain't nobody dumb here, yo. You know what? Yo, here, take the check, yo, and look, I mean everybody shuts the up and everybody's happy, including me when we do this. That's like, oh, you want the money? Cool. It's candy money. I don't need it. Cool. Like, go ahead. So. But now. Get that mic. You can go do a few shows now and end up another 50k up. Yeah, and that's on the low end. That's not even. That's a difference. That's on a low end. Yeah, like people act like 190 to 240k is a difference. Like, and people be like, oh, it's really not. Oh, do you understand the majority of people don't make 50k in a year. So if you're adding 50k to your income. It'S a big deal. Big deal. Heal. Y over four grand a month, bro. That's adding over four grand a month to your money. Yeah, I mean, listen, if you live in New York, adding four grand to your income is, is, is. You'll feel it. If you live anywhere in middle, middle America and add four grand to your income, you are balling. You could start adding the moat to your house cuz the king is here. You, you are balling. Yo, so with the competing, yeah, we gonna run it up and we gonna see. And yo, like, I mean, I'm in the spot where I could do whatever the fuck I want. Like some people still like, all right, so I've already have a resume and built my career, but I'm actually still good enough to be Mr. Olympia. Like they were saying Ryan Turtles done before he won. Right? Cool. And what I mean by that is this. I don't have to live up to anyone's standard but mine, nor do I have to prove anything to anyone but me. So it's like, if you want to go do the Taiwan, bro, you can do the Taiwan Pro. Dre, if you want to go eat hot dog eating contest. What I call them pause. But the reason why I call them hot dog eating contest, because it's like back in the day, I tell him, yo, bro, I could go eat hot dogs all week and still beat y'all. Like, I don't have to diet, bro. That's why I call them hot dog eating contest. People never knew where it could. Where it came from, but that's what. Brock, thank you for the clarification. Rock and go your hot dogs. Oh, we can still beat these guys, bro. They not that good. Pause. Pause. So no Diddy. So, like, there's certain people who can't do hot dog eating contests because they're trying to prove. And they're going to look at you like, oh, you ducking. You suck. Like, bro, I'mma do hot dog eating contests. I'mma do Pittsburgh, I'mma do New York. I'mma being there with the big boys. But I'm going go and do the hot dog eating contest, too. Why not? Look, there's more money. And why not go over there? There's nobody standing in my way to get none of the bread. And I'm a win the Masters and the Open and get double bonus over there. Sounds like a win win to me. I mean, you're good enough. Step up. And. Yo, and my thing is this, right? So I'll be listing the shows I'm doing, right? And, like, somebody had the nerve to tell George. Like, I ain't gonna tell. I ain't gonna say who. Yo, don't y'all notice I do a great job, but never, never, never. He does. He does. He doesn't give names to the names. Give names to the names, like. And I don't look, I don't tell any details to the story where you can actually tell who the person is. But if you said these things, you know I'm talking about you, but, oh, oh. Dre shouldn't mention what shows he's doing. And Dre's like, he just mad cause he can't do what you doing. They gotta duck people for their shows. You could tell all your shows and tell people. Pull up for the smoke if you want it. Yeah, yo, I don't fear any competitor. I can beat anyone in the league, number one. And number two is I'm not afraid to lose on top of that, that. Okay, you beat me. Good for you. Yeah. On to the next One. You go to the next one. See you next week, bro. Yeah, see you next one. I'm gonna come back with a bigger stick and a sharper sword. Hey, I know some of the dudes in the league gonna be a little salty. Like, oh, Dre still competing. He got three wins, and he's still doing shows, and he's still taking checks, and he taking qualification spots from people. I ain't take nothing from from you. Because if you ain't earn it, that means it wasn't yours. If I won, it means it was mine. Facts. It was mine. Like, it was. It was mine. But I say this right, because it's just like I talk about even other guys when they win multiple shows and people be butt hurt. Yo, if you got a problem with the winning, go beat them. Or. Or got a better one for you Rizzles. Like what I used to tell them back in 2017 on Generation Iron and them videos like that, yo, PayPal me to five bands and I'll stay home if you yo listen, right? And. And look, some people took it offensive, right? And I say, cuz y'all ain't businessmen. Let me tell you why I went on to win like another two more shows that year. Now you telling me, right, if you the guy who plays second in those two shows, it wasn't worth it for you to pay me to five bands. You would have had first. And it would have really only. And look, the reason why I was saying I wanted five bands, because that's what it. Because you know, my old sponsors, that's what. What it used to total out to with bonuses. So it'd be like, well, the first place check plus the bonus is going to be the five bands. Tally this up. So if you want me to stay home, cut the five bands, bro. And. And I tell them, yo, I have. Yo, listen, guys, is it about the money? Yes, it's about the money. So just pay me the five bands. I'm stay. Yeah, yeah, I'll stay home. It's okay. Stay home. And like, just let me know ahead of time so I have to do this whole prep. Oh, Andre think he arrogant. I think you think I'm arrogant because you know you can't beat me. And then when you play second now, you salty, cuz what you thinking in your head is, I should have paid this the five bands to stay home. I would have been going to the Olympia. Now I'm not. Listen, what did they say? Like, you remember back in the NFL when like, yo, when like when like, what was his name Ronnie Lot. Ronnie Lot. Coming up, you going across the middle, and you see Ronnie Lot. And you bring your hands back. Cause you making a business decision. Decision. Yo, paying the five bands. That's a business decision. Yo, it's. I'm trying to. Yo, I gotta make those shirts look right. It's just a business decision. Don't look right. So, yo, sometimes you gotta put your ego aside, and you got to make the right business decision. Sometimes it ain't about how you gonna feel about doing it. It feels all right. Oh, this. This won't work, right? So, yo, this is like, 2017 or 18. Yo, me and George were trying to get one of our friends to do something, and he. We knew. He was like. He was like, kind of, like, resisting us on doing it, right? And George got him to do it, right? And George said, man, I let that say and think whatever the fuck he wanted to. Because I was trying to create a result, Dre. And I don't give a fuck what fucking happened in between now and creating the result. So he could think however he want to think the result came to fruition. So we created the result. So I don't give a fuck how he feel about what he want to feel about or what he said about what he want to say about. He could feel like he won and got one off, yo, since 2017, 18. I took that one with me in life. So basically, right, if this is point A, right, and I'm trying to get to the destination of point B, who cares if I had to go around the block five times? As long as I got to be, bro. So basically, it's like, yo, take your feelings out of it, bro, because you. Because, look, the standpoint our friend had, he was standing on, bro. And, like, the only way we was gonna get him to move was by, like, conceding you didn't want to concede in your ego, but it didn't matter because you got the. The result. So your ego still won in the end, bro. Like, George, I won. I don't give a. And I was like, this is. This is a gem for life, cuz. Yo, at this moment, in two out, 2018, it couldn't have been me to be him who did what he did, yo. Like, yo, different level of progression, like. And, look, I just wasn't having no convo. I was like, yo, leave me out of it, cuz. I'm. I was like, over here, like, yo, leave me out of it, cuz I know. I already know how he gonna react. Now I'm not saying. He was like, I don't give a. I'll take it off the chin. I was like, all right. He's like, yeah, he doing that. What the. Dre Trying to create a result. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, I had to hear his shit for a little bit, but he just had to feel like he got one off. He basically had nothing to do with if he was right or he was wrong. He just wanted to get some shit off his chest. And look, you couldn't call him out about being. Being wrong. You just had to let him vent and then. But, look, it created the result we wanted, though. So all that in the middle didn't matter. Like, calling a matter of him being wrong when it would have it all up and the result wouldn't happen. And now everybody just, like, fighting and salty. Now. My ego doesn't care about that, bro. My ego don't care that he felt like he had to get his shit off. And he got it off, and I let him get it off. But look where we are now. And I said, I'm keeping that one, too. I'm keeping that one. I'm running with it. So it. So, like, all the in the middle is just ego, bro. That's what. So look, so that's what we. That's what I'm. That's what I realized. Like, all that in the middle's ego or ego, bro. It's all ego that in the middle. You trying to get to B, bro. Just get to B. Yeah. So, I mean, some should have paid the five. They should have. Okay. It's okay. It's okay. We're beyond. We're beyond it now. But. So you got a stack show stack lineup coming up? Yeah. And. And then what else? I'm back to loving my chances again. I don't like my chances. I'm back to loving. Get up on that mic. Oh, my bad. Yeah, good. I'm back to loving my chances, not liking them. I'm back to loving my chances. And you gotta tell people, man, if we gonna roll these dice over and over, like, at show to show, I'm always picking me, bro. I love my chances. And look, that's not saying I win them all, but I've won the most a reason. There's. There's a bunch of guys. All right, so look, not to on my man, because it's not what I'm trying to do. I actually like my man a lot. My man Jeremy Poppins. Shout out to Jeremy Poppin, but me and Jeremy Poppin and Logan Franklin, all turn pro at the same show. Jeremy Poppin has three wins, I have 18. It's just putting in perspective for you. And, but he's been to, like, five or six Olympia still, right? And. But it goes to put it in perspective again for you. Jeremy Popvin is a great athlete and has, has had a great career in men's physique in this, in this division, in the IFBB. But when you look at the resume, he's got three wins and six. Six Olympias. Yeah, I've been to nine Olympias, and I got 18 wins, and we turned pro at the same exact show. I'm working my ass off, bro. Nobody gave me. And that's not to say he hasn't been working his ass off, but it goes to show you the difference in the work. Great. Like, I was really, really doing this. Like, really do this. And the only reason why I haven't retired this, because I actually have fun still doing this. I actually love still doing. If I. Yo, if I didn't, yo, bro, I don't have to prove, bro. I remember I told you years ago, I, I, you know, in 2019, I came to piece that I might not ever be Mr. Olympia. I'm not chasing being Mr. Olympia no more. Broken, like. And if I see, I'm not delusional. This is why I be trying to tell people, like, oh, everyone should go into every show thinking they can win. No, you shouldn't. You're being delusional. Stop it. Stop it. And what I mean is this, right? It's like the people who win one show and think they're gonna be top five at the Olympia, and it's their first show, oh, I'm top five. Oh, I'm top ten. No, you not. You know you not. You know you not. You know you not, bro. So I said that to say this right, yo, if I put together a certain type of season, then I will be going into my Olympia prep trying to be Mr. Olympia. And what I mean is this. If I've built enough stepping stones, so I'm at the spot where I've put myself in a position to even think like, like that, then I will. If not, no, that's pipe dreaming. So we call that over here. Oh, you just going, oh, so you should be Mr. Olympia because you say so. Pipe dreaming, bro. You. I don't think people realize this is a business, and I don't think people realize there's human, there's beauties in the eye of the beholder, Right? So it's not necessarily human error. It's what the eye likes at that moment. Think about this, right, Rizzo, you might put an outfit on and not like it, put a different outfit on. But guess what? Next week you might like that outfit and put it on. Then at that moment in time, I didn't like it. That doesn't mean I don't like it. And it's the same way of judging people. Yo, we're humans. At this moment in time. I like that one better. So I know that if I actually put together the rights, season, meaning that, okay, yeah, you have to do the right shows, you have to place better than the certain people, you have to win certain shows in certain order and be in a certain position. And then now, when you're in that position now, it's like, if I put a perfect prep together, I could be Mr. Olympia. It's like Ryan Terry, Ryan Terry went and won that. Remember that year that he be when he first became Mr. Olympia, like, he won New York, he got second at Pittsburgh, won New York. And then what he said to himself is, he went through, he went through Olympia Prep, right? And then like it was like two, three weeks before the Olympia. He said, let me leave my family back here in England, Let me go train at Bevs for these last three weeks. What he said was, I'm not pipe dreaming no more. I put myself in the position where I'm in the pole position, in a prime position, where if I put a perfect prep together now, I can be Mr. Olympia. So it made sense at that moment to go all in then. Trust me, he didn't leave his family for no reason, bro, because, look, you gotta remember when you got two kids at home, bro, and, and a wife and businesses and all this shit, it's hard to lock in fully, bro, because day to day you got a lot of shit you doing, bro, but once you move, it's. It's. We see why boxers go to camps, we see why fighters go to fight. You gotta remove yourself from that situation as, as much as. As possible while still being. You have to eat, sleep, think bodybuilding, and that's it. Everything else is a distraction. Oh, is your wife of distraction? Yes, she is. Is your kids a distraction? Yes, they are. Are your business a distraction? Yes, they are. Can you do them all and still be really good? Yes. Can you do them all and be great? Some people can, but that's the exception to the rule. And we don't live by exceptions, we live by rules. Over here, outliers don't count. And Look, I hate these people, too, and I feel like too many women do this. How is every one of y'all the exception? Everyone can't think they're the exception. Look, everybody is special in their own way to themselves and to their family. But everybody ain't special. Yo, a lot of average calling people kings and queens. When would have all been peasants? And not never ever in. In history has everyone been kings and queens. There's always more Indians than chiefs, y'all. But we live in a society where everyone thinks everyone's great and everyone's supposed to assume everyone it. Yo, it's like, well, we have no objective truth anymore. Everything is not subjective, Nick. Like, they think they want us to live in this degenerate place where every single last thing is subjective. Oh, well, how do you feel about. Oh, well, maybe that's how they express themselves. Well, you ain't expressing yourself like that in my crib. And my crib goes by my rules. So you express yourself how I told you to. And guess what? The beauty of this whole game is that if you want to express yourself however you want to, you go buy your own and you go do it over there in your. Over there. And look, nobody got a problem with that. No. Do your thing. Enjoy. No one's forcing you. And look, I ain't got no problem. You can still come over whenever you want to. But the rules change. You just don't live here no more. Like. And when you don't live here, it's even better, because now your problems aren't mine. You listen what I say all the time. The boss got to hold the money, too. The person that holds the money is the person who I got to pay the bill. And I think too many of you be caught up in wanting to be the boss. What I'm letting you know right now. Yo, yo, I drive the car in life, right? Yo, it's way easier being a passenger, yo, trust me. You don't want to always be the boss. Yo, why the hell you want to pay the bill, yo? Bill's expensive. That bill's expensive. Like. Yo, listen, you have to be the one that solves all the problems. Every problem is your fault. When you're the boss. You. And look at. Hold up. And you can't. No one gives you compassion. You're the boss. You're supposed to know these things. You're the boss. There's no compassion for you. Why would there be? You should know this. You're the one in charge. What do you mean? You're asking me I need an adult. You're the adult. Last week you made it a point to tell me you were the boss. Yeah. So now that you're the boss, we're looking at you. You were running shit, right? Oh, now you don't run run no more? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right, now wait, hold up. I gotta ask the. Oh, the underboss knows. All right, so let me go talk to the underboss. He just as confused as you. It'd be mad funny, right? Like, even with my kids, right? Like, my daughter asks me some. I'm like, what your mom say? Because y'all, you know I don't make the rules around here, right? I. I in enforce all the rules. Like, I am. I am the end all be all in everything. I am the CEO, but I am. Not the one that etched into the stone tablets. When I say no, it's no. But guess what? I'm not the one who's actually making the. Like, I don't care to neither. Why I want to microman this day to day. Y. Listen, if your mother told you no, I'm probably sure it's for good reason. And I can't undercut her toes. I look like bro, then I gotta hear it because. Because. Because you told her no, and then she weaseled her way to get it from me. And I'm not saying this don't still happen. Of course it still happens. But it's like, we gotta minimize it. Take some accountability now. Like. And yo, I don't. Too many people gotta realize, yo, you know, sometimes life is way easier just being a passenger. But you got to be in the right car, though. Gotta be in a car. Gotta be in the right car. But I also say this, right? It's like. It's like the woman said, oh, I'm not being led by him. Why the are you with him then? Yeah, that's the point we're trying to make. We're not trying to make the point that you should be a slave to anybody you shouldn't. But you should have picked the leader, like. Because you fucked a bum and you're wondering why he's a bum. And look, right, I know housework is work too, right? It is, right? Taking care of his work too, right? You understand there's a bunch of moms that do that shit and still actually have a job. So I don't understand why you wouldn't want to be a stay at home home mom like most of those things you're doing anyway with your. With your job. And I go and I asked my mom this question the other day. I said, if you could have had the option to have been a stay at home mom. My parents got divorced when I was 2. But I said, if you could have been. Had the option, if things worked out with dad, for you to stay at home and just focus on being a mother instead of having to be a career woman, what would you have preferred? She goes, I would have chose mom all day. And look, and I don't think there's anything wrong with being a career woman. But yo didn't say that. Not that you said I said that. I'm just saying. No, no, no, I'm saying I didn't. But what I'm saying is this. You gotta know that certain choices come with certain outcomes. Yeah, my mom missed a lot of my life because she had to drop me off at grandma and grandpa's when I was younger. She would have, she would have rather raised me and been around me. But look, but, but, but who the hell wants to go in the rat race for other people to make them money? Like, wouldn't you rather just stay at home if you had the means to just stay at home? Because look, your mom still came home and had to cook and clean and do all those things and still take care of you, right? Just the two of us. Yeah, like so, so if you. I was doing it as a baby, so. So like what I'm, what I'm saying to myself is all those things you still did anyway and you had to go work to 40, 50 hours a week. More. Yeah, more. Say your mom's like my mom. Oh, yeah. Like, my mom had two jobs my whole life. And I look at it like, yo, yo, trust me, my mom would have rather be a passenger. Cuz if you see how my mom lives now, you'd be like, oh, no, that lady would have definitely been a really good passenger. You're a great passenger, yo. Fantastic. Great navigator. Listen, she ain't trying to lead nowadays, yo, why I'm like, like, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you gotta call Andre for that. He handles that. Like, I don't even do that no more like, no, you gotta deal with him. And she says that because she's pushing you off on me because she don't even want to deal with it. And she knows this is the best part, though. Eight out of 10 people won't even call my line when she says that. Because you don't want to deal with me neither. She's like, I shut people up, tell them, yo, you gotta call Andrew, Andre for that. And then they reevaluate whether they want to call you or not after they get off the phone. And most of them don't. Yeah, I'll pass. Yeah, like, they. Bro, like, my little sister be having to call me sometime for money and shit. And, like, I know. Like, she. She knows I'm the last resort if she needs it. Like, I know if my phone gets hit, she really need the bread because she knows she gotta get a lecture that come with the money. Yeah, you be pulling the fast on her mind, but you're not doing that shit on me. You know, you got catch a. Yo, look, I'm gonna give you the bread, yo. And I. And it's not yo. And I don't loan my sister money. Yo. Any money she asked me for that I give her. Yo, I tell all the time, yo, you wouldn't. I listen. I don't even want you to think that you're under any pressure to pay me back. That's why this is not a loan. This is money. I'm just doing out of love. Like, it's not. No, but you hearing the lecture. Because I need you to learn some lessons along the way here. And I don't want the money back because I don't need you under pressure. You obviously, obviously need the bread, right? So if you. Look, anyone asking you for a loan needs the bread at the moment. They need the bread, right? And, like, there's certain people, yes, I do understand, you have to get the money back from. But, yo, most of the times, if you have it, bro, don't even look for the money back because that. That's putting another pressure, another stress on them that they have to pay you back now. So if you got it, bro, like, yo, if you ain't got it, don't even loan it, bro. That. That's how I feel. Like, if you like the people that loan it that really needed back that bad, bro, you shouldn't be loaning it. Family would be different. Different. For me, family would be different. In. In a couple ways. It very much is dependent on the situation. I also don't have any siblings, so I don't know that side of it. Well, look, so what I'm gonna tell you is I wouldn't let none lend none of the money then, because what you. What you're basically saying to me is that you're not even close enough to know those people to lend them like you want the money back. And if I want them, like, if you asking me for a ban, bro, I don't need the band, so if I'm giving it to you, I don't need it it back. And. And look, if I know you really up being in and I got to give you this lecture about it, bro. You know what, bro? I don't want the money back, bro, because I'm doing it out the kindness of my heart, because I actually do want to help you. But the reason why it's coming with the lecture is because, yo, there's something that's missing here. Why you have to ask me for money. Let's fix that. Because I don't need you asking me the next month and the next month and the next month. Yeah, we don't. Don't do that. And that's why I don't. You're like. And that's another reason why I don't lend it to them. Because, you know, this is not a next month. You asking me for it, too? No, I'm just giving it to you here, yo. Yeah. All right, so, look, you might have asked me for this, but I'm gonna give you this instead. And look, I. It's not alone. I don't want none of it back. Now, I swear, when I. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yo, look, it's all love, yo. I do not want none of it back. And it really is all love. I'm doing it. And that's the reason. And that's the reason why I tell. I don't want it back. I don't need you under more pressure. I'm not under any pressure, yo, take the money, yo. I take the money. I'm not under any pressure giving it to you. I'm not just take the money, yo. And yo, it's just like. Like, yo, like, yo, like, say I see somebody asking for money on the street, right? Homeless person, right? And say I give them $40, right? People be too caught up in, oh, but you don't know what they gonna do with the money, yo. It's none of my business what they gonna do with the money. I don't care if they spent $10 on food and 30 do, guy. That's their business what they do with the money. They needed the money. I gave them the money. Yo, go ahead and do what you need to do, bro. Once I gave it to you, it. Became your money, your possession. Like, what I look like clocking what they doing with the bread. Like, yo, if you're giving the $40, you're giving the 40 because you want to give the 40. You shouldn't be giving, like, A whole. A homeless person, 40 with a stipulation attached to it, bro. Like, that's to me, yo. Like, again, back the same, I feel with the. With the. With the. The money, yo. Then don't give them the $40. If you think that. That you have to put stipulations on it, bro. Like, if you feel that. If you. If you're that concerned about the $40 and just don't give it, yo. All right, I don't need to have nothing attached to it. I give away clothes at my house every month. I got a whole graveyard of dark sports I give away every month or two, yo. And you know what I tell people, yo, Because I let everybody leave with a lawn sized garbage bag full of that. I know all of that. One person don't need all that. And all I tell them is, yo, just make sure some. The homies are your little brother. Somebody get something. That's it, bro. I'm not clocking your bro. Just make sure you don't be gluttonous with the. You let other get something too, because you don't need it all, bro. The same way I'm giving it to you. And I could be sitting. I could do a Facebook marketplace or I could be on Poshmark market. I can make a bag on this, bro. I need the money, bro. Like, yo, here, y'all take it out. Yo, I just pass it on, man. Because what I feel like is like, yo, you know, not too many people have good karma to spare. I have a bunch. And I. And I make it a point to do that. And I make it a point to the fact that, yeah, I do great deeds every day that no one ever knows or sees. And the reason why I do them, I tell people, because it feeds your soul. So, one. But number two is you have good karma to spare, bro. If I have a negative transgression in life, bro, the universe looks at me and says, bro, we letting that slide, cuz. Like, and I'm saying, like, the cops. Looking the other way when they're. When the registrations expire. You should aspire to be the person with good karma to spare. Yeah, like, I don't want to aspire to always be getting even with the universe, bro. Nah, they up, bro. They up. Because, yo, bro, I just do good every day, bro. So they in a good spot with me. So you ask me why all this good happens to me and why. Yeah, luck. Yeah, it is luck. But let me tell you why it is luck. I have to put myself in an opportunity to Receive the luck. Winning the lotto was. Is being lucky. But guess what? If you don't buy the tickets, you didn't put. You didn't put yourself in the opportunity spot to get lucky. Oh, all these good things happen to you. Yes, because I do great things for other people with looking for nothing in return. So when something good happens to me, was just my turn, bro. See it? And look, yo, George, George, George quoted me this morning. He's like, yeah, dream I gotta talk about one of your bro. Because he's like. Cause, yo, like, yo, even though I earn everything in life, yo, the universe still chose me. Me, bro. Why y'all chose me to have all this dope? Why y'all chose me to be the guy that gets the trophy every time, bro? Y'all, yo, it's. Yo, bro, they still have to choose you, bro. Yo, even though you earn it, you got to realize you're still fortunate even to be in that spot that. Yo, look, everyone else don't get to be in there. And they working they ass off too, bro. So it's not like you. Yeah, and this is my thing. Thing, right? You can say nobody outworks me, but you can't say nobody works harder than me. Those are two different things. When you say no one outworks me, what you're saying is my level is a 10, and it's the highest level. You can be people, other people can be a 10, but you can't outwork me because we both at tens. Now. When someone says, oh, I can't be outworked, you're not watching everyone else's work rate. So you don't know that that brother, so you don't know that brother. So I can't sit here rizzles and be like, oh, I just worked harder than everyone else did. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. There's plenty of people I did. There's plenty of people I didn't. But the peeving the people I didn't work harder than, I still beat them, too. Why the universe chose me to be this guy? I'm sorry. Like, yo, look, the universe might have chose you to be a plumber or work at Home Depot. That's just what they chose you to do. And I'm never going to apologize for it. Even though I do still. Still can acknowledge that there is luck involved and it is the universe choosing me. Yes, I'm talented. Yes, I have skills. Yes, I have great genetics. Yes, I work hard. Yes, all those things are true and valid, bro. But at the end of the day they still picking me tax make my bobbleheads. I'm grateful for that. They're even saying, yes, I'm grateful for that. And I earn everything I got, bro. Hey, don't nobody give me. I earn it all, bro. So I don't get where the entitlement comes from. I'm somebody who has a lot of. And I don't feel entitled to nothing. Like, last time I checked, the only thing you entitled to on this planet is that you're gonna expire in this avatar. The only thing that's guaranteed you're gonna expire in this avatar. This is not a body. It's an avatar. Couldn't be more real. More real? Like, more. We will have to do an episode on that. That. That's. We're not. We're not going down that route. No, no, I can't go that route. But. But your time in the. In everyone's time in that avatar expires. Yeah, and it's. And it's freaky because everyone's expiration is different, but yet none of us know when our expiration is going to be. No, we all have to take that path. So it's kind of cool because, like. Not cool, Dre. Leave me alone. It's. No, it's cool from the standpoint that you. We all have an invisible clock over. Our heads, but they gave us free will on choices, which makes it even wilder because you gotta remember they could just control the avatars if they wanted to. But instead of doing that, they said, look, let's give them free will. Do what the fuck they want. Let's watch this shit play out. It's like a. It's like a really cool episode of Maury playing out like, yo, hold up. Let's give him this. Let's watch this play. Sitting there like this, seeing. Eating kettle corn. Oh. Oh, yeah. Did that kid just eat glue? Did he just eat a tide pod? Why the would he eat that? These. These things we made called humans are. Are very interesting. Yeah. They're consuming chemicals. Why would they do that? And you're like. And that being said, right, we're gonna end the pot on this. No, we're gonna end the pot with that stuff, too. We gotta. Like, that's where we end in the pot. On that note, we end in the pot on little quote, hit it. Expect nothing. Be thankful and grateful for everything. I love that. Just like that. Just like that. Everybody, you know. You know Lucky Libra, you know, Dre. Dre, I appreciate you coming in gracing the Presence of the studio, hanging out. I haven't been here in a while, bro. Yeah, I mean, we are three. Coming up on three hours. I say three. Yeah. I'm like, I gotta walk Kenji. I'm like, I gotta watch Kenji. Look, for some reason, I feel like I got a clock in my head that's around three hours, because I feel like that's where all of our pods just. It just ticked over. Three. I feel like all of them end at three. Just right around three hours. Yeah. Give or take 20 minutes. Yeah. So all good? Always a pleasure. We'll do more again in the future, obviously. I love just sitting here bullshit and hanging out. I still have to set up the. We did it once with Villa. I still have to set up the live stream stuff. You know what I'm thinking about? Last time I came here, I don't even think these were on the wall yet. No, they were hanging. They were just fucking laying on the side. And then my boy came in. He was just like, yo, I got to come hang these dudes. Yeah. Now, yo, there wasn't even. This blockbuster wasn't. That wasn't there. And you're right, the desk was over there facing that way, like you was in jail or, like, on punishment. Horrible. Like, your mom had you on punishment. Do your homework in the corner. Get the. Go look at the. Oh, yeah. So I gotta. I'm. I'm. I'm setting the studio up a little bit differently. I'm gonna. I gotta figure some out. I like your setup, though, bro. It's a good setup, man. And I mean, like, the aesthetic is clean. It's clean, man. It's clean. Except for the dog here on the floor. It's clean. I mean, look, I got two dogs. So, you know, you get it. You get it. Like, and the little one, I think she's in heat now because she's shedding extra. And this won't. Yo, he just follows. Yeah, yeah, he whole time, like, yeah, he does. I'm like, we dealing with this now, cuz. Yo, like, I mean, like, they have to be separated immediately. Oh, yeah. This just whines and cries the whole goddamn day. Every day, the whole day. Cuz, they don't go out at the same time no more. And I mean, all day, all night, all he does is wine and cry and whine. I know some guys. I know some guys, like, that's whing about the. The piece. The piece that they never got, yo, we ended it there, yo. That almost slid past me too, yo. Like, almost didn't even catch it out. It was right up. Brave ass. Couple guys my age that do that. It's crazy. So why are you so upset, bro? It's okay. Funny. It's all right. It's kind of funny. You be all right. Beat your demons out. It's okay. You'll be all right. You'll be thinking much clearer. On that note. Yeah. Everybody dre. And end it. End with your plug. Lucky Libra. I mean, Andre frankson. Lucky Libra 2, 3, 13. Shout out to Dark Sport.
