[00:00:42] Speaker A: Yeah. Sorry. I saw you were giving away, uh. Were you giving away, bro? [00:00:47] Speaker D: Yeah, yesterday we gave out, like, 140, uh, pulled pork sandwiches, man, for the kids and stuff. Chips and a drink and popsicles, candies and stuff. And we had, uh, some face painting and some. We had a corpus Christi Joker go by, and he brought Deadpool. It was pretty cool, man. [00:01:05] Speaker A: That's cool, man. Yeah, that's awesome. Yeah. So you were doing that. What were we talking about earlier? The food drama in Corvus. Y'all think that's true? True or not true? Why not? [00:01:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm just staying out the way, trying to make sure. I'm just trying to stay out the way, trying to make sure I don't kill nobody and nobody has to kill kill me. And I feel like, hey, if I do that, that situation will never happen. You feel me? But we live on earth, and earth is hell, so no matter where you go, demons are gonna find you. [00:01:38] Speaker D: Yeah. I'm glad I'm out of all the food drama. I just hear about it all, man. [00:01:41] Speaker B: This person mad at this person. I'm speaking in general, like, anything you do, that's good. Yeah. Regardless, whatever business it is, you know what I'm saying? Music, food, whatever you hustling, man, if you just. That's why I like. That's why I like my only friends are my. My business associates that are doing better than me, cuz I. My energy feels. I feel safe. My energy feels safer around. I could trust my energy around people like Alex, right? Elvago, family. Because they treat me like family. And it's not even. There's no hidden agenda behind it either. You know what I'm saying? Like, uh. Like we do business together, and they treat me like family. Invite me over for Thanksgiving, shit like that. You know what I'm saying? And I don't, you know that, you know, I don't really got no family growing up. You know what I'm saying, cuz? Because the bullshit I was going through with stepdaddy shit, you know, and living in the streets because I was avoiding the mental abuse at the crib, you know what I'm saying? But, yeah, like, since mama Ira, my Kenfer, Otis the max, was that, you know, since theme this, you know, this been my family right here, you know? [00:02:45] Speaker A: Yeah. So, yeah, so is that how do you feel? Because he's always at your spot whenever I go over. [00:02:51] Speaker D: Yeah. No, man, I love having him around us. We have a good time talking bullshit, and it's nice to talk to somebody that you know, this on the same thing with Javier, man. It's on the same level with thinking about moving ahead. There's no negativity. There's no arguing. There's no bickering or just, you know, just. We joke around and talk shit to each other, man. But, man, this boy can eat, man. Avery, thanksgiving, he like four or five pace, I think it was, cuz the were smoking, but I guess, you know, he got the. What's it called? [00:03:18] Speaker B: Every time the second hand smoke in front of me. [00:03:26] Speaker D: This one guy was there. He's like, damn, dude, another plate. But, dude, I'm talking about loaded plates.

[00:03:59] Speaker A: So something happened at the stop. [00:04:01] Speaker C: Oh, man, we used to detail cars, right? His other business before. So he was detailing my truck. You know, I always take it to him and does me good. And so we're like, hey, you want to go get some tacos? Yeah, we want to go get some tacos, right? Get our food. We're on our way back, and we pull up to a stoplight, and, uh. So he's what? He's doing a car. And we go in my daughter's car. So where's the stoplight, you know, talking about? Then we're boom. I look at him. I was like, did this dude just hit me? He saw. Yes. Boom. Again. Oh, hell, no. Got down and, you know, long story short, me and the other guy had a little talk, you know, and, uh, yeah, it was all over Facebook. For a little bit. You see? I see him walking dogs. Get dress over here. [00:04:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:58] Speaker C: Right in front of the. Punch up, right? [00:04:59] Speaker D: Yeah, Morgan. [00:05:00] Speaker C: Morgan.

Yeah, I learned after that he was the one that told me he was. Don't do that, man. [00:05:19] Speaker D: We're gonna shoot your ass, man. Nobody wants to fight no more, man. [00:05:21] Speaker B: We're old school. [00:05:22] Speaker D: We believe in, you know, wasn't there, like, a. [00:05:24] Speaker A: Like, somebody. Somebody went into somebody's home and something. [00:05:27] Speaker B: And when you fight in clubs. Yes. [00:05:31] Speaker C: It was an empty house or something like that. [00:05:33] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:33] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:05:33] Speaker C: And that dude got home and somebody was in there and broke into and shot. [00:05:38] Speaker A: My wife was saying some people were like, oh, they shouldn't have shot him. [00:05:40] Speaker C: Yeah. Legally, you know, legally. And you know what's right. You know, two different things. Sometimes. Not all the time, but sometimes. But he's possibly. Yeah, there's rights. There's ways that you can do it. You can't just. You have to be in imminent danger. You have to be like, your life is actually in danger for you to shoot them. And then you can't shoot them in the back. You had to have to be facing you. So if they're running away from you and you shoot them, you're not in danger because they're leaving. You know me. No, that's in the eyes of the law. But, you know, when you're mad, you don't think about stuff. [00:06:13] Speaker B: When Marc Gonzalez, your da, you don't need no excuses. You could just. Boom, boom, free ride. Yeah, but, shit, he gone, so you gotta. We got. [00:06:27] Speaker D: Expensive, man. [00:06:28] Speaker C: They're crazy. [00:06:29] Speaker A: Do you think he was. Do you want to elaborate more on how the way that guy is or. [00:06:34] Speaker B: I'm just. Is he still in office? [00:06:36] Speaker A: I don't think so. I think it's. [00:06:38] Speaker B: Now I'm just mad at him. Gonna be there when I got to catch a body. Why don't get a break? At least? [00:06:47] Speaker D: You're lucky, man. They might give you a break near this. Full forgetting my life vominals look at us. Guilty motherf. [00:06:53] Speaker A: Hey, bro. Just give him a play. [00:06:54] Speaker B: Bro from victim owns dogs. I am victim on junior day. [00:07:00] Speaker D: Have you had a spaghetti. [00:07:01] Speaker B: I just gotta play.

[00:07:23] Speaker B: Don'T get the wave. The $5 delivery free. Just because you want to pick it up from me. It don't happen like that. I'm driving like 2 hours a fucking day, so I need, I need the gas, I need those $5. And you write and just like Alexa, I'm practically giving it away because it's only $10 a page. [00:07:40] Speaker D: That's a lot, dude. [00:07:41] Speaker A: And you just raise your prices too, right? [00:07:43] Speaker D: Yet I'm working on the menu right now. It's just, man, dude, I went to heb this morning and, like, briskets went up and meat went up. Like, everything's going up little by little. Like every month I buy the same shit every day. You know, I've been. I went from $400 a day to $500 a to $600 a to seven. Now it's at dollar 700 a day, like, for briskets and meat and, you know, all this shit. [00:08:05] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't ever have to worry about him being envious or jealous of me. He happy, you know what I'm saying? Those are the people I need to. Those are the people I associate with people who doing good. I don't have to ever worry about motherfucker being mad at me for no motherfucking reason. [00:08:17] Speaker A: Basically because he's got his own. He's doing his own thing. [00:08:20] Speaker B: You gotta associate with people that are either as happy as you or happier. I prefer happier, you know what I'm saying? Shit. [00:08:27] Speaker D: Miserable stress, bro. I went to the comptroller this morning. $2,600 this morning, man. Yeah, more money, more problems, bro. That's straight up. That's real though, man. More money, more problems. [00:08:42] Speaker B: We fuck with people that. That are not as happy as you. They use that. They have hidden agendas, you know what I'm saying? And then when you try to cut them off, when they start doing some foul shit, it's the thing about friends, and this is why I don't like associating with friends anymore. Just business associates. The difference in with friends, you know, saying you cut them off, they'll talk about when they do some fire shit, they always bring up like, oh, I did it for you, man. I show love. But that don't mean you own me. You don't mean you own my. You don't mean you get to treat me any kind of way. Just because you're doing something good for me, you don't get to do bad to me because you did something good for me. [00:09:15] Speaker A: So are these friends, like, are they. Would you even give them title of friends? You know what I mean? If you know they're gonna be like. [00:09:21] Speaker B: I mean, that's the definition of friends, really, if you think about it. Every friends are like that. Friends are like that. That's why having. That's why associates and business associates are the best. Are your best friends. Yeah, those are your best friends. Your friends are your worst enemies. They were your enemies. They just were smart enough to become your friend to infiltrate your life and make you think they had love for you. But they don't have love you. They just trying to. They trying to snatch the love that you getting from other people. And then once they got that, then they could just fuck your whole world up and try to destroy you. Damn, bro, then they can show their true colors, man. [00:09:59] Speaker D: I've had all kinds of people come out the woodworks talking shit and, you know, saying that I'm, you know, making. Just talking shit because I ain't the way I used to be back in the days. Like, I don't give a shit about none of that stuff no more, you know, to me, like, I ain't a gang member. I ain't fucking trying out there to be doing stupid shit, selling drugs and stuff. And, you know, if people from my family trying to call me out, oh, yeah, you're fake, cuz. You're not doing this? No. Oh, you're like this now? And like, you know, this is stupid, man. Like, just because I don't want to, you know, live that life no more. It's fucking dumb, man. But, you know, it all starts out with money. Everybody thinks I'm rich right now, and everybody's hitting me up for cash, bro. It's fucking crazy. Family members, fucking people haven't talked to a long time. Amen. [00:10:36] Speaker C: You. [00:10:36] Speaker D: Can you hook me up and you tell them no, then they start getting, man, they want to start talking shit. [00:10:40] Speaker C: Oh, you're greedy. [00:10:41] Speaker D: Yeah, what the fuck? Like, hey, man, got my own problems, you know, shit is. [00:10:45] Speaker B: And no, no offense to my friends, you know, I'm saying, I still got. I got love for my friends, you know, I'm saying, just cuz I cut you out. I mean, I cut you off, right? Like, when I make it, make it. When I get there, get there, I'm gonna come back for you, show you some love. But right now, need you motherfuckers out of my life so I can make it right. Then when I make it, I'm gonna come back for you, but I can't make it with you with me because you gonna pull me down. [00:11:04] Speaker A: You actually, that's interesting. You shared the story one time about like, how you used to be homeless, and then you got some bread, you got some money, and then you went to go help out the homeless and you were like, am. And then you got to the point where like, all right, I'm done because of the way, of the way they were. [00:11:21] Speaker B: You know what I mean? [00:11:22] Speaker A: Because you were trying to help out all these, all these people that you had seen that were homeless. You know what I'm talking about? [00:11:27] Speaker B: Well, what's topic was that reason? [00:11:29] Speaker A: I don't know, it's like, so I think I heard it on one of the podcast I was listening to with you on there. [00:11:34] Speaker B: But like, you talking about how I'm. I'm nervous to help homeless people are not. Because whenever I. Sometimes when I approach them to give money, they, they tell me they get offended. [00:11:44] Speaker A: They get offended? [00:11:45] Speaker B: Oh, no, no. Sometimes they won't even be a homeless person. I'm like, I mean, you need some money? Like hell not. Leave. My bad. Hey, somebody did it to me too. Yeah, I was at a. I was dressed like this. Yeah, to give you a good vision, but I didn't have to do it on. I had a ball fade, actually had a ball fan shave this shit, but pretty much this big shirt, my tall tee, black tee. I made the Burger King on downtown, you know, across from the Victoria building first. Victoria. I'm just chilling there waiting for lob to show up. Metropolis recording studio is in that building. That's why I recorded. So I'm waiting for Michael Fuentes, aka Lob, lord of the boards, to show up. And I used to just wait there at Burger King while I wait to see if his car pull up in the driveways. I could just take all that. I'm just sitting there like this, and there's dude, this dude gets his food to go, goes back in his car, notices me through his windshield, comes back in. He's like, he's like, hey, man, this is all I got, bro. And like. And I took that shit. I was like, okay, bet. Yeah, I know. He gave me like a whole bunch of quarters and shit. I'm like, yeah, sure you did, cuz. I. I don't know why he did it. Like, I was like, does he know me or does he think I'm homeless? I couldn't, like, but I think it was like a homeless. He thought I was homeless because the way he's. The way he just kind of did. Like, this is all I got. Like, yeah, you must. You must think I'm homeless. I don't think you know me, but it helped me out. Cause, you know, shit, when I go to the studio, I'm broke afterwards. So I needed that money. I still need it. That's why I didn't say that. [00:13:22] Speaker A: You just put out, what, 35 track? [00:13:25] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, 35 track. Michael White dot bandcamp.com music is where you can. You can download each track for free, listen to it for free. But if you just want to buy the whole album, like, just right away, that's $10. But if you want to take your time, you download each track for free. So, you know, I'm saying I compromise what you preload, motherfuckers. [00:13:51] Speaker A: Yeah, that's pretty cool. [00:13:53] Speaker B: But I made it like that. I made it like that because of the love they showed me, all the, you know, the money fans contribute to me when I'm, like, on my way to Austin, Texas, to perform for comedy shows and shit, for the kill Tony show, shit like that, you know, for big. For big moves that I needed, that I need to make. You know, I'm saying, they always there to help me with that. And they helped me with studio time and shit. And then, you know, there was a time. There was times when I was like eight, when I was 18 years old, I panhandled for my whole. To finish my whole mixtape. I had a 40 track mixtape. It was 20 track regular speed. 20 track slowed and chop, and it was like my first big mixtape. I was 18. I used to wake up at nine in the morning. I had a job, too. But that shit, I can't wait two weeks to go to the studio. I want to go to studio every day. So I'm hitting it. Bus stations ask, you got two quarters, you got two quarters, you got two quarters. But check this out, though. I would call up Mike Lob. I've been recording him with him since I was a little kid, since I was 15. That's my mental. So I'm 18. We already, like three years knowing each other. Like, total 20 years. So, uh, I would call him up in the morning. 09:00 in the morning. I'm like, Mike, I want to book a session. 07:00 p.m. i don't have no money in my pocket when I'm booking this session, but I know I'm about to get it. He's alright. And, you know, back in the day, it was 1 hour, $25 for an hour. So it was easy. It was kind of easy back then. Now it's a lot of money. But, um, was it called, uh, fucking sounds like. Yeah, let me get that. 07:00 p.m. i bet. I run to the bus station, Walmart, the arcade room, the Shaniqua. Shaniqua alert section where they got all the Shaniqua alerts and arcade. Let me get to, let me get two quarters. Target, uh oh. You know what I'm saying? White people buying me popcorn instead of giving money. Sometimes that's all right. I need to eat while I'm getting this money. And then, so by five, six pm, I get the money. I finally get quarters full of fucking $25. I had to go to three stores to change it into dollar bills. And I'm taking the bus. Ain't gonna call yet. Taking three buses to get downtown. Fucking Mike. And then I get there with all these fucking dollar bills. I'm like, I I'm ready. And he didn't know I was doing it until, like, later on in life. I was like, Mike, guess what I used to do? He was like, no shit. That's that. [00:16:21] Speaker A: The economy, bro. How is that affecting y'all's business now? [00:16:24] Speaker C: Yeah, man, it is, man. Just corpus period, though, man. It's, it's, it's not a. It's not very economic. Pays not too good for nobody. So, you know, they can't afford to do a lot of stuff. [00:16:38] Speaker A: Everybody's struggling all at. [00:16:39] Speaker C: Yes. Everybody struggle. [00:16:40] Speaker D: Life. Bills going water. [00:16:42] Speaker C: Bills going summertime right now going light. Bills being $500, 600. [00:16:46] Speaker B: I'm so glad I built my name to a point where I can do what I'm doing now. Because I was selling cds my whole life, and I can't do it no more, cuz CD is not a thing. This shit, you gotta have a digital and digital, so ain't nobody making no digital money. The money money was on the cds when that was popular. [00:17:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:04] Speaker B: And, uh, you know, I'm saying now it's different. So how do, like, air street, Greenwood, that was my favorite place to get fucking make money off of CD. Everybody show love, whatever. Um, but, like, growing up, I thought. I thought this was, this was gonna be like if I never make it, I was like, fuck it. This is a nice job right here just to sell cds and shit. Just walking up to everybody. Hey, check me out. My name, Michael White from. I'm a local artist from Corpus, yo. I'm from Hill, yo, yo, and before you say anything, I'm gonna spit a rhyme. And if you like it, maybe you can buy my cd. It's only $10, but let me spit my rhyme first. And then, like, I spit, like, the same rhyme. Yeah, 300 times a fucking day. And, uh, so, like, this is cool, man, doing this rest of my. And then, like. And as I'm getting to this point where cds can't. Can't really sell no more, you know, by 2020, I met my ex from Italy, and she. And she made the best spaghetti I ever tasted. I was like, this tastes like money. And I'm like. And I need a new hustle. And. And then, you know, I was like, well, shit, I was thinking, you know, maybe I could flip. Stop flipping this. Because I didn't. I wasn't just selling cds. Yeah, I was selling my name. You know what I'm saying? So interesting. So that's why, like, I'm grateful I went. I did all that growing up, because I was. I'm able to do this today with the spaghetti plates, you know, I'm saying, yeah, like, cuz not just anybody could just, you know, be that. Be this successful, you know, with food, you know, saying, you already got up. You gotta hustle, asshole. Yeah, I mean. I mean, shit, now that the Internet's popping, I mean, really, anybody could just go out there, hit up the Internet, say, I love. I'm selling these motherfucking hot dogs, man. Hit me up. You know, I'm saying, become popular. Like. But, yeah, so. [00:18:40] Speaker A: But, yeah, the difference is, like, you're talking about, like, your brand, like, your name. Because somebody could. [00:18:46] Speaker B: That really helped me out. [00:18:47] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. [00:18:47] Speaker B: That really helped me become this successful in my spaghetti play business. Because I really feel like a lot of times people buy a plate just to meet me, you know, I'm saying, but then when. But then when it's just that. And then they taste it. Oh, this is good. Yeah, I really want to get a place. You know, I'm saying, I really feel like it's mainly cause, like, when I show up, they talking about other shit. Like, man, that shit don't kill Tony. [00:19:10] Speaker A: It's crazy. [00:19:10] Speaker B: I keep on doing that ketone shit, keep doing that comedy shit. Oh, man, that new song was dope. You know what I mean? They really never bout the food. So I feel like it's just to meet me, but at the same time, you gotta eat anyways. And then, like, you try this shit now, it ain't even, like, about me. No, more. It's about the food. [00:19:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:25] Speaker B: So, yeah, that's cool, man. That's what I mean by. I wasn't just selling cds, I was selling my name. Right? [00:19:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Do you feel like you do that with yours? Cuz I. Cuz I. People call you. Well, people call you, like, El Bago, right? They won't even know you by your name. [00:19:38] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:19:38] Speaker A: Nah, cuz it's like a brand. [00:19:40] Speaker D: Like. Yeah, it's a brand. [00:19:41] Speaker A: What he's saying. [00:19:42] Speaker D: Yeah. It took a long time to build, man, but, you know, it's. It's getting there, man. [00:19:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, you were in the trailer, right? You were doing a trailer. [00:19:49] Speaker D: Well, not trade center first. [00:19:50] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. [00:19:51] Speaker D: Yeah. Then I went to the food trailer and I didn't like it, and I opened up my own spot. [00:19:55] Speaker A: Oh, right on, right on. And you've been in business. Business since 2020? [00:19:59] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, shoot, yeah. [00:20:03] Speaker A: Oh, since 2020. [00:20:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:05] Speaker A: And so you want. You took it through, you drug it through the pandemic, basically. [00:20:08] Speaker B: I mean, I'm still making money through the pandemic. Cuz during Facebook Live, I would have a magnitude. I would have the mask on in the gloves on with the Facebook live when I'm cooking and let them know. Cuz, you know, everybody was scary about buying food. [00:20:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:22] Speaker B: So it was kind of hard, but not really people. Those people didn't give people. [00:20:29] Speaker A: Boy, and you just got the kitchen cops thing award, too. [00:20:31] Speaker D: Yeah, they go over there and look through everything. And I guess a lot of things that saves me, too, is that because everything's fresh and, like, everything gets thrown every day and brand new the next day. We don't have stuff sitting in the freezer for weeks or, you know, stuff sitting there. And I got. The only thing she said is that, why don't I write mine? You know, the dates on the vegetables? I said, because we throw them out every day. I say I don't reuse them the next day. I cut everything fresh for the day, you know, and if we run out during the day, I just cut more, you know? [00:20:59] Speaker A: Do you think you ever get to that point where you have to. Where you save it? [00:21:03] Speaker D: I don't. Hope not, man. It's a lot easier like this, too, because, you know, the place is small that I have. It's not really big and anything. So we got way one, two, got like three fridges in there. And, you know, they're packed with all kinds of stuff. Cheese and tomatoes, onions. [00:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah. So a lot of people that work for you are your family. [00:21:21] Speaker D: Yeah, everybody's my family. Man. [00:21:23] Speaker A: Okay. Be tough if it wasn't, huh? [00:21:25] Speaker D: Well, yeah, I guess it's just the whole part of having good food is that people got to know what they're doing when they're doing it. When you hire someone, they don't care. They go over there and just, you know, I had one guy, you know, he was working for me for a little while. He was doing real good, and little by little, he just started falling off. Started, you know. [00:21:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:41] Speaker D: You know how it is when people get comfortable, man, start messing up. [00:21:50] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:21:50] Speaker D: He came in, he goes, hey, what's his name? I go, he don't work here no more. Did you find him? Cuz he fucked up my burger. [00:21:57] Speaker A: If you guys are in the YouTube channel, if you got questions for these guys, just put a question in there. We'll ask him, ask him. [00:22:03] Speaker B: I had. Somebody asked me this the other day. Yeah, this motherfucker from Canada. He's all he said, he said, does your ex ever get. Cuz my ex from Italy taught me how to make the spaghetti, right? And what it is, it's called, it's called baloney's sauce from bologna, Italy. I think that's how you say pronounce it. And when you look at my Internet, bologna sauce is exactly what I make. I ain't scared to tell you all that shit. You ain't gonna fucking sit there for hours making that shit. You gonna call me. Anyway, I was just thinking, I was like, dude, I made a whole video fucking making it. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Wow. [00:22:37] Speaker B: I'm not scared. I still. I'm still making money after showing the recipe, dude, scary money don't make money. Damn. And I gotta let him know that I'm not the material that I'm using. Cuz somebody fucking said I use canned mushrooms. I like, I gotta make, make a video. Anyway, so he asked me and she taught me how to make that recipe. So it's not like her own little, like, just drew that shit up herself type, you know? But. But now that we're not together, this dude from Canada, he's all, does she get any royalties from. From yourselves because she taught you how to make it? I like, I was like, motherfucker, this, this. Do drug dealers have to pay Ronald Reagan after every time they mix coke with bacon? So. [00:23:25] Speaker D: Reaganomics, fool. [00:23:30] Speaker A: Scared money don't make money. [00:23:32] Speaker D: That Internet, man. Dude, it's just. Yeah, people talk so much shit on there, man. People don't even know you. They go in there, just, you know, leave some fucked up comments. I'm mother fighting with the miss shit. You know, I don't know. [00:23:45] Speaker B: Like, you got your customers back. [00:23:48] Speaker D: Disgusting. Your mama likes it. [00:23:51] Speaker B: You know, he got a gang of customers that are coming. [00:23:56] Speaker D: Yeah, it's cool. A while back, there was this one lady, man. She, uh, she was bashing me on the Corpus Christi food finds. I don't even know who the lady is. [00:24:04] Speaker B: Right? [00:24:05] Speaker D: She was bashing me on there, and we posted it on the page. No, I'm they do. Everybody had a field day with their man. Everybody was talking so much shit about her. I like poor Lady Maclean Mandev. I didn't intend for that to happen. [00:24:17] Speaker B: You didn't know that? [00:24:18] Speaker D: Yeah, I think it was gonna go that far. They were making all kinds of man. My wife. Amen. If someone comes up and shoots my ass, it's probably that lady. Yeah, it is, man. I use cheap meat and this, this and that. And people say, oh, you use frozen patties? Like, motherfucker, we fucking press this shit every day. We talk about frozen is it's banned. You, I don't know. [00:24:45] Speaker A: And most of them are on Facebook. [00:24:46] Speaker D: Everything's on Facebook. [00:24:48] Speaker B: Maybe in a battle rapper, like, rebuttal in second nature for me, I'm saying, so I'm already ready for, like, the bullshit come in. As long as it ain't, like, threatening my well being on my livelihood. Like, I'm not gonna take it to another level. You know, I'm saying? And if I feel like I have to take it to another level, when it becomes that I block that person, you know, people, people think it's silly. Like, oh, you block me? Why you blocking people? I'm like, I'm blocking you so I don't have to fucking kill you. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to be in a position because that's what it is. In Corbus, man, when you get into a fight with someone, you either going to jail or you're going to die. You're going to one of those places, it's bad. Somebody's dying. Somebody's going to do that. [00:25:28] Speaker A: That's so crazy. [00:25:31] Speaker B: So that's what I try. I'm trying to avoid those situations, you know? I'm saying I'm cool with the banter. And banter is a word from London. It's another word. I learned it when I had a rap battle. Banter means, like, just clowning. Like, how we say clown and a roasting. Pretty much what banter is cool with banter. But when it becomes some other shit, I'm blocking them. [00:25:52] Speaker D: It's like, the tricks, rabbit, with the. [00:25:54] Speaker B: 9 million protecting my energy. [00:25:55] Speaker D: Light you up. I can't do shit like that, Mandy. [00:26:01] Speaker A: Like, what do you mean? What do you mean? [00:26:02] Speaker B: Like. [00:26:03] Speaker D: Like, I don't know, like, I'm a felon. I can't carry gun any. So it's just like, I'm screwed either way. So I just keep my mouth shut. [00:26:09] Speaker B: I'm not. I'm not allowed to be around you, right? Do you think. [00:26:14] Speaker A: Do you think crime has gone up in corpus? [00:26:16] Speaker D: Oh, bad, man, definitely. [00:26:18] Speaker B: Yeah. If I leave my. Leave my gun in the car when I go into the restaurant, like, man, bring your gun. You the security. [00:26:25] Speaker D: What's on our reality, man? It's our fault. [00:26:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:30] Speaker A: Oh, damn. [00:26:31] Speaker D: You know, we were better parents. Maybe they wouldn't be like that. [00:26:33] Speaker C: Crimes not just on the west side no more. West side is actually, like, the better side of China. You know, everybody moved. We all moved to the south side, and we took our kids and raised. [00:26:42] Speaker D: Our badass kids over there on the south side. [00:26:44] Speaker B: Yeah, weather. Weather like the new motherfucking north side. [00:26:50] Speaker C: You got all the west side people out there, and then you got the south side people. You know, the. You know, they were. They had a little bit of money growing up, and then they liked that. They see that. They like that life, and they try to. [00:26:59] Speaker B: Paradise, baby. [00:27:00] Speaker C: They want to, you know. Yeah. [00:27:02] Speaker A: So they want to be like that. [00:27:04] Speaker C: You know, so they're not even like that. Like, all these people are out here. Most of the people out here carrying the guns and, you know, doing all this shooting. It's fucking not even in them, you know, they're just trying to show out for their friends, you know? And then they get caught, and then they start crying. [00:27:15] Speaker D: What's the whole. There's a whole no consequence thing, you know? I mean, you can't whip your kids ass. Kid grows up thinking that everything's gonna be handed to them, you know, the. [00:27:24] Speaker B: Whole respect thing, you know, was a. Was. Was on the news for number one. Highest crime rate on the south side of town. I came. When it came to the south side of town, the Weber was the fucking highest primary. So it's still crazy. [00:27:42] Speaker A: I would say, like, the school system is like that, too, but the school system. I don't know. I want to say. It's, like, kind of to blame. I don't know. [00:27:50] Speaker D: Well, they can't do anything. [00:27:51] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying. [00:27:52] Speaker D: I mean, like, you can't tell the kid nothing more. [00:27:53] Speaker A: They took to the teacher, like. [00:27:55] Speaker D: Yeah, and then the parents back it up. [00:28:00] Speaker C: The kids go to school like that because the parents made the kids think that it's, you know. [00:28:04] Speaker B: You know what we need? We need Mister Hamlin back. R I P. Mister Hamlin from SLGC. He was, he was that, that class that you went to when you first checked in. And this motherfucker was tough. He was like, he used to be, I think, a pro, a boot camp teacher or something. And they, and they gave us him. He used to get down too. Like, people would try to fight him. He would knock. He would set them straight. [00:28:29] Speaker A: What's up? James Lada on YouTube. Elvago. Food is fire. Hundred. She put 100. Appreciate you in the chat. So you think. Do you think it's gonna just get worse from here? [00:28:37] Speaker B: We need more Mister Hamlins, definitely of the world. [00:28:40] Speaker A: What'd you say? [00:28:41] Speaker B: I said, we need more Mister Hamlins of the world. Yeah. [00:28:44] Speaker D: It's gonna get worse, man. [00:28:46] Speaker A: Worse. [00:28:46] Speaker D: Yeah, it evolves. You know what I mean? [00:28:48] Speaker A: They'll become parents at one point, those. [00:28:51] Speaker C: It's because the world's gotten too soft. Everybody's worried about feelings, you know? I mean, yes, we need to be sensitive to a point, but everybody wants to be overly sensitive. [00:28:59] Speaker B: It's like dumb down society. But the thing, that's what they wanted. They want us to be done. They don't want us to be too smart. [00:29:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:09] Speaker D: Just hard enough to work as men, like and obey no matter what. We always gonna get the shit in the stick. We're men. You got to fucking eat shit and go to work. You got to support your family. Gotta do what you got to do, you know, you can't sit there and cry all day. You know what I mean? [00:29:22] Speaker C: Wife, happy life. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Yeah, but, but the government also obey because they need to make money in them prisons too. So they're gonna. [00:29:30] Speaker A: It's not just the culture that's, that's deteriorating. It does. [00:29:33] Speaker B: I mean, I blame the government. The government. I mean, the fucking people who own the prisons, they're the ones, uh, you know, paying. They're the ones who, uh, pretty much sponsor the. Promote the rappers that they want promoted. Promote the, you know, all the bullshit going on because they need, they need, they need those. [00:29:52] Speaker A: They need to need that money coming in. [00:29:54] Speaker B: They need that money coming through. They need prisoners any more. Slaves. So they need. So it's always going to be like that as long as we have private, private prisons. You know, I heard a rumor, y'all. [00:30:06] Speaker D: Know if it's true or not, but I heard that a lot of record labels, they own prisons and stuff. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Yeah, they're making money together. [00:30:13] Speaker D: They put out this shit to pump everybody's heads up, you know what I mean? And thinking it's one way and it's not. [00:30:17] Speaker B: Why you think? Why you think? There's no. There's no fucking smart rappers. They're not a lot of signed smart rappers no more. I mean, you got. You got your j. Cole, but there's a thousand of them was. How come the other thousand ain't getting signed? You know what I mean? It's like one joy code in a bunch of dumb, dumb little yachties, you know what I'm saying? [00:30:33] Speaker C: Turn on the radio and you hear. [00:30:35] Speaker D: I can't listen to the days music. What? [00:30:37] Speaker C: This made it to the radio? Like, what the hell? [00:30:39] Speaker D: Yeah, I can't listen to the days music no more, man. When I do a bunch of my videos that he shoots for me, I use a bunch of old school rap. [00:30:46] Speaker B: Videos and stuff, but he put me on good. Some dope California messianic. [00:30:52] Speaker A: So you don't need them. You don't listen to him because. Because of the lyrics, basically. [00:30:55] Speaker D: Because it's all a bunch of just rubbish, bro. It just is bullshit. Has no heart, no soul. Like, you know, I mean, like, I'm not saying a lot of stuff. I listen. It's good because it's a lot of bad shit from back then, but it's a more of a story that they're telling. [00:31:08] Speaker A: Right. [00:31:08] Speaker D: You know what I mean? At least you want to listen to the song, the lyrics and stuff, you know, it brings me back to when I was young, the stuff I was doing back then. But it's. It's a story nowadays, man. People rap, and it just. Bunch of gibberish just thrown together. It'll make no fucking sense. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Yeah. What's up? Anthony Diaz. You said drill instructor. Oh, yeah. Dude, that's so crazy. It's so crazy how music comes into the conversation when we talk about culture deteriorating. It just shows you how much art has an effect on. On people, on a culture, on a society. [00:31:37] Speaker D: It does. Rap tells people what to do in our reality. You know? I mean, that's. That's the truth. [00:31:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So crazy. And, Mike, do you find. How do you. How do you find yourself navigating that. The entertainment aspect? You know? I mean, being that you're saying that, like, there's, like, one J. Cole, but there's. There's millions of them out there. Instead, they promote these other guys, or these other guys are being promoted. [00:32:00] Speaker B: I feel like J. Cole is like a divert, diverse hire. You know what I mean? Kind of like when, like, like, oh, like when the business needs to hire that so. So they won't make people think like, oh, they don't hire. They don't hire them. You know I'm saying? Yeah, we do. You know, I mean, I feel like. I feel like they only did that for a diverse hire so it doesn't look too obvious that they're trying to dumb us the fuck down. Yeah, but they do kind of still keep them off the fucking. The mainstream. I'm not really even like that into J Col because I cuz I've heard, you know, I grew up on, like, I grew up on Nas and shit. And when people try to compare Cole to Nas, I'm like, no, you can't do that. He's not that fucking good. You know, say, but that's pretty much the Nas we have today. I mean, I'll take it if that's all. That's all we got, you know what I'm saying? But they have to give us something like that. It's like to manipulate us, you know, just like, I mean, just like, you know how they're trying to. They're trying to act like, you know, the government trying to act like they're against abortion, but like. But they're fucking. The fucking throwing Covid on us, you know what I'm saying? Getting rid of depopulating the fucking earth, but they got to pretend that they like us. You know what I'm saying? [00:33:06] Speaker D: It's coming back. [00:33:08] Speaker A: Covid's coming back. [00:33:09] Speaker D: I've been hearing a lot of people having Covid lately. Yeah, it's kind of scary, man. [00:33:13] Speaker B: So for the fact, you know, it's a. You can't say it's not conspiracy when the fact they said how we got Covid the first time was because it was released on us and then it went away. And now that it's coming back, then that should mean it's getting released on us. It's not just like something that just fucking happens naturally. So if it comes back, then it definitely released on us. But they ain't gonna say that. They don't try to make us think, like, oh, it just lives among us, you know? Yeah, it wakes up when it wants to wake up. [00:33:42] Speaker A: So they think. So they're trying. So at the same time, they're deteriorating our culture by putting it in the music, but they're also trying to, like, do it through medicine and stuff, like whoever's in charge, like the government. [00:33:53] Speaker B: I mean, the spanish flu was in 1920. The coronavirus is in 2020. It's like every hundred years they reset the earth or something. You know, I'm saying, if you think about it, I mean, at first I was. I was like, man, they didn't have, like, they weren't able to do shit like that back in the day. Like, you know, I'm saying, be that organized to fucking, you know, every hundred years type shit. But, man, I really look into it, man. The great fires that they. They had where they, you know, what they toy where, you know, so they can start selling oil, they got rid of. They had them. There's a. If you look at the great fire of 18 hundreds, there's, like, all these fires and all these fucking places where they destroyed free energy back in those days. And it was so. So they could sell oil because I wanted oil to be or whatever, you know, to be the energy, you know, saying. So they were doing shit like that, you know, I mean, it makes sense that they organized with this genocide shit, too. [00:34:48] Speaker A: You think that because they talk about, like, climate change, I'm not really into all that stuff, but do y'all think about that stuff? Do you think that the climate. [00:34:55] Speaker D: I just think it's weird that our winners aren't as cold as they used to be. Like, we were kids. They do get cold, but, like, I remember it was, like, for longer periods of time because now it's like. [00:35:08] Speaker B: They. [00:35:08] Speaker C: Don'T talk about that no more. Our kids don't know about those on there. They're talking about those on layer depleting. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Because all the gas. [00:35:18] Speaker A: The Truman genre is everywhere. [00:35:21] Speaker B: No, I'm talking about the way. The way that fucking weather is all fucking controlled and shit. You see how, like, it rains when they want it to rain and shit like that? [00:35:29] Speaker C: Pay attention to the sky, bro. You see them jets flying, man, I didn't believe that. I heard that a while back. Yes. [00:35:38] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:35:38] Speaker C: And I didn't believe it. I was like, man, you know, they just got something to talk about, you know? And then one day I saw it up there and I was looking at it, and then a couple days later, I saw it rain, and I was like, man, you know what they're talking about doing that, you know, releasing chemicals so it can make it rain. But really, next couple days, I see it again. It stopped raining. I see it again a couple of days later. It wasn't even on the four. [00:35:57] Speaker A: Wait, are we getting into conversation? [00:36:01] Speaker C: Don't take this. Not go there. [00:36:03] Speaker B: Really makes that believe. Is that, like, during the COVID times, there was, like, these random ass fog shit. That the planes were, like, rolling on us. Like, you can see the fucking fog, like, running in your little parking lot of your apartment. And then when you walk through it, you start feeling sick. During COVID you know, saying, I remember that shit. I know I seen a lot of people posting about, too late, man. That fog kind of weird. [00:36:24] Speaker C: Every fog that comes through, you get sick. [00:36:26] Speaker B: But definitely during that time, it was noticeable. Like, I know when I walked through it, and then when I get out of it, I felt a little better. You know, I went back in the house, started, like, feeling better. [00:36:34] Speaker D: You know, I'm saying, did you get either? Fuck this. [00:36:40] Speaker A: Why her did. Like, it wasn't even. [00:36:42] Speaker C: Like, everybody was still getting cold. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Wow. [00:36:46] Speaker D: This guy that I knew died from it, man. [00:36:48] Speaker A: From the shot? [00:36:48] Speaker D: Yeah, he got the shot. And a couple hours later, he got a real bad fever. He was getting sick the next day. He couldn't, you know, he couldn't hold himself up. So he went to the hospital, they admitted him, and he went in a coma. Three months later, he died. [00:37:02] Speaker B: No, I'm not one of people that thought the shot was something that's gonna kill everybody. But I do believe it was. It's a. It was to suppress the. I guess neuter people, sterilize. I mean, you know, those women. There was women losing their fucking kids during pregnancy, too, you know, with that shot. But, uh. But I think. I believe it was to help, you know, make it harder for us to have kids. You know what I'm saying? So they're killing us with the. With the Rona, but it's slowing us. The slowing of population. They're slowing the population down with the shot. That's what. That's my belief on. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Why would they want to slow the population down? [00:37:42] Speaker B: Bill Gates talked about it on his, uh. On his own Ted talk, 2015. You can look it up on YouTube. It should still be there. I don't think they removed it. Um. He said, uh. He said, in five years, there's gonna be, uh. We're not gonna. We're not gonna be, uh, killed by war. We're gonna be. Not exact. I don't think. He didn't say kill, but whatever. I'm someone speaking my words. We're not gonna be killed by war. [00:38:07] Speaker C: War. [00:38:08] Speaker B: We're gonna be killed by micro, it's by viruses. And then so far, you know, after 2015, 2020, and then. And he happens. And he even says one of the ways we can. Uh. His exact words, one of the ways we can look. [00:38:24] Speaker C: He. [00:38:24] Speaker B: He said, we need to lower the population or because depleting our resources, because it's just, you know. Yeah, it's just there's a lot of. It's causing a lot of problems with us sprouting out, you know what I'm saying? And he's basically about saving the earth and shit, right? And, oh, he's on. One of the things we can do to. One of the things we can do to help depopulate the earth is. Is a better vaccines. You know, saying, those are his. That word, better. Better vaccines. And like, what does that mean? Better vaccines? After saying how a way we can depopulate the earth and then like some other shit that he said. And then so fast forward to 20, 1920. This motherfucker is like one of them. He's a. The number one investor in Covid research and he also has his. Has his hands in all the vaccines with him. And Fauci were like, what? The dudes, they were tag team parties, you know, I'm saying road dog and Jesse James and badass Billy Gunn, you know, somebody. Yeah, yeah. Like, foul. Fauci was doing whatever the fuck he's doing. And Bill Gates was the money, man. Like making. He was look it up, man. He's like, he's part of every vaccine. [00:39:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:43] Speaker B: He invested in all the vaccines, the COVID research. And he just got done talking about how a fucking virus about the wipe was out, you know, saying, so it's not. It can't be no coincidence. This motherfucker comes back and like, he's back in the game, you know, that's. [00:39:59] Speaker C: Elon Musk say that the world was gonna end from depopulation. We weren't gonna be enough to. [00:40:05] Speaker B: Yeah, he said we. He said we need to make more. Yeah, he said to save the planet. Yeah, one of the things we do to save the. Yeah, we need a. We need to. What do you say? Depopulator by 1% or 10%? Say one of those percentage numbers. You know, I'm saying, you look up Bill Gates Ted talk 2015, and I think only. I might only have one TED talk. So just type that shit and you'll find it. [00:40:29] Speaker C: That's what they do in China, though. I mean, you can only have two kids. [00:40:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:33] Speaker B: Between America and all the other countries. All the other countries keep it real with them. Yeah, they let you know, like, hey, we're gonna kill you. We gonna kill you, kid. America doesn't keep it real with you. They hide. What? They hide the killings. [00:40:45] Speaker C: Now come get this. [00:40:46] Speaker B: They kill us and they. And they lie to us about it, like, oh, we didn't do that. But China would say, okay, real, you like, oh, you can't hurt. [00:40:53] Speaker A: Saluto. Spal compa Rocha by Eli they give. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Us the illusion we have freedom here. That's how they give us the illusion that we have freedom here, by lying to us about what they doing. [00:41:06] Speaker A: Do you think. Do you think only a certain amount of people control, like, because Anthony Diaz was on and he was talking about how there's like three come main companies globally and they're owned by just by one person, and they own, like, all the markets. [00:41:18] Speaker C: Like a few founding families, the Rockefellers, the ones that created the education system. And they asked them, you know, why don't you teach these kids, why don't you teach these kids things that are worthy of learning so they can survive and, you know, strive, you know, make it in the world? It's like, well, we don't want bosses, we want workers. Yeah, we're not gonna teach them to take my job. We're gonna teach them to work for me, knowing that everything's control. [00:41:43] Speaker B: They had a Rockefeller part of the oil, so, yeah. [00:41:47] Speaker A: So you think that's why they. So that. So the school said, I heard that too. Like, where the school system is, it. [00:41:51] Speaker C: Doesn'T change since it's first started. It's the same thing. You got a classroom with a bunch of kids and one teacher teaching them. They can't even control the kids. They can't even get their message across to some of these kids. You know, they don't even carry enough. You know, they just. They're just there for their check. [00:42:06] Speaker A: So it's. So it's evolved since its original purpose. The education system, nice to say, still the same. [00:42:11] Speaker C: Yeah, cuz they don't teach kids how to survive. You know, they don't teach kids how to save money. They don't teach them how to pay. [00:42:16] Speaker A: Do they learn works like skills to. [00:42:19] Speaker C: Be, you have to be, you have to be like in remedial classes to like take a workshop, metal shop, wood shop. You know, they teach those subjects like that, crafts and everything, trades, because they know that these kids aren't going to make it as doctors, lawyers, you know, politicians. [00:42:37] Speaker B: That's why they put us on Ritalin when we was too smart. [00:42:41] Speaker A: So the kids that are coming out of school, what are they, what are they doing? [00:42:45] Speaker C: Like right now? Nothing. They're robbing and stealing and shooting. Look at the news, everybody. [00:42:52] Speaker A: So is that how you got. Is that a person, that how y'all grew up? Like I mean, did y'all start working right after? [00:42:57] Speaker C: Nah, nah, not a lot of us. You know, it wasn't. It wasn't as watered down as it is now. You know, it's. It's a lot softer. Back in the days, we were doing it because we felt like that's all we had to do, you know, we weren't doing it to show off, to make people think better of us. You know? It's just this. This is what it was. Part of life for survival. Yes. [00:43:22] Speaker D: You know, straight up survival. [00:43:23] Speaker C: We didn't have family at home, you know, that showed us love and that they cared about us. So we went out to the streets, and we got homeboys, you know, and then those homeboys became our family, and they're. They're the ones, you know, I got in trouble. I go to my homeboy, you know, I go to my parents, and they get mad at me. You know, they whoop me, they spank me, you know, they slap me. They do whatever. I go to my homeboys, and they're like, man, are you okay? And it's like, man, you know, I felt cared for. You know what I mean? So then you go. Then it just goes on from there, you know? It's like, I don't even want to be home no more, you know? And then, you see, and then next thing you know, those few friends that were really good, like, what he was speaking on, they have a hidden agenda, you know, they find a way to worm their head, their way into your head and use you to do certain shit. [00:44:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:04] Speaker C: And then you just become a bad person, you know, it wasn't how it was supposed to be in the beginning, and you just fall in with the wrong people. [00:44:10] Speaker A: How long did it take for you to, like, realize all that? [00:44:13] Speaker C: A long time, man. I was, like, 30, man, because I was. I grew up, you know, I was raised to not make it. You know, I was. I was set for failures, you know, from the get go. [00:44:25] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:44:26] Speaker C: And, you know, I. I ain't the greatest person in the world, but compared to the person I used to be, man, I'm like, wow. You know, everybody that knows me from back then and then knows me now, they're like. They're like, cool, man. You know, you made. You made your way out of it, you know? [00:44:41] Speaker A: What's the name of your business? [00:44:42] Speaker C: You're Texas maintenance. Maintenance, my contractor. We do home remodeling, um, everything around your house. [00:44:48] Speaker A: And so you. And so that you went with that through Covid, also, and you laid off as a welder. It's awesome, man. [00:44:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:54] Speaker D: And I was backwards, man. I came from a good home. I had a loving mom that took care of me and, you know, did everything for me. I had a grandfather that loved me, that took care of me. It was just. It was me, you know? I mean, I wanted to do that because, I don't know, stupid people were just like that, you know, I just wanted the bad life. Like, I didn't. I didn't have to have that. I chose it. And you know what? That's what helped me get out of it too. Because if I can make myself be that way and do everything of that life, that's why now that I'm older and I finally matured and finally realized a man this is ain't. What the fuck, man? Goddamn. I keep getting in trouble. I keep on getting locked up. I ain't getting nowhere. Yeah, I'll make a lot of money. But then after, you know, start running out, you start doing more bad stuff and then you keep getting in trouble. I was like, man, if I can will myself into being a bad person, I can will myself to be a good person. [00:45:42] Speaker A: Wow. [00:45:43] Speaker D: And that's why, like, I'm doing what I'm doing now because I made myself. I already experienced a bad life that I shouldn't in already. I shouldn't have. You know, my mom, she didn't. She didn't deserve the way me and my sisters were. You know what I mean? And my sisters turn into that because of me. You know, I fucked up for the way I was. [00:46:03] Speaker A: Do you think that, like, fatherless homes, do you think that has enough. Has an effect on. [00:46:08] Speaker D: I don't know, cuz I grew up with the dad. Bigger mean, I grew up with the. [00:46:12] Speaker C: Yeah, but you know, sometimes growing up with the dad is not as good as growing up without a dad. You know, it depends on who your dad is. That's true too, you know, because sometimes that dad is the one that's treating you and teaching you how to do everything wrong, you know what I mean? And then you grow up like that, thinking that's what it's supposed to be. You know, it's. It's. I'm supposed to be going to jail, you know, I'm supposed to be doing this and that. And then you grow up and you have kids and you're like, man, I don't want my kids doing this. So, you know, that. That's. That's like the drive for like so many people, you know, our age. You know, we grew up through all so much hardships in our life, you know, and we put ourselves through, you know, we're not blaming nobody else for, you know, we made the choice to do that, you know, because after a certain age, you know, it's all on you. You know, no matter what you were taught, it's all on you, what you're gonna do with it. You're gonna realize what, it's not good for you. Or you're gonna just say, I don't give a damn, you know, I'm gonna do it. [00:47:01] Speaker A: I'm basically grow up and become a man. [00:47:04] Speaker C: And not everybody does that, man. You see so many people older than us out there, man, it's like. [00:47:08] Speaker D: But you know why though? People finally change when you ain't got nobody to save you, when you ain't got nobody to save you, to help you pay your bills, you got your family, you got your kids. That's when every, like, oh, shit. Like, I got something. You know what I mean? Like, if you don't, then, yeah, you know, shit, no one's coming to help you. [00:47:23] Speaker A: I think that changes your mindset. Like, if you have a wife or kids. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, you got me. [00:47:28] Speaker C: Like what he said earlier, too. Holy shit. My mind just went, woo. [00:47:35] Speaker D: You should have smoked one. [00:47:36] Speaker C: I should have. I would talk clear, but, yeah, so crazy, man. [00:47:40] Speaker A: Appreciate you guys coming on the show. [00:47:42] Speaker B: Let me, let me drop this knowledge right quick. [00:47:44] Speaker A: Go ahead. [00:47:44] Speaker B: You're not allowed to be yourself. If you do, you're not real. You gotta be what everybody wants you to be, other than your personality or you fake as hell, they be like you. A gimmick. If you're not spitting what I think you should be spitting the way I think you should be spitting. I'm like, okay, so if I'm not acting like you, then I'm not being me. I don't get it. I'm honest, I don't lie. This rappers rapping about what they not, but still get respected while I'm crucified. But you're the one that's fake, so how come it ain't you should die a prophet is not welcomed in his own hometown. The corpus Jesus Christ, they be like, make a serious song with a message. Believe in my silly side delivering the same message through your subconscious while I'm wrecking any style that I'm flexing it doesn't matter what I'm doing, doing for attention long as I'm doing me. Even if I gotta be offensive because my heart's in the right place, I'm following my intuition. I do appreciate criticism, but God has the last word. I only fear him, not his creation. As a nation, it's easier to control when it is crippled by prejudice. The government's winning, so I'll turn everybody against me just to unite the citizens. I'll be your 911. [00:48:35] Speaker A: Nice. Appreciate that, dude. Thanks for blessing us with that. Fernando Sargoza. That's right. As I always told my son, we're all gonna make mistakes, but after a while, if you don't learn from your mistakes, then your mistakes no more their choices. Did not. Mistakes no more the choices, yeah, mistakes for sure, man. You gotta learn from them. And like, like, kind of like what you're saying, like when you were doing that life, you were just doing that. Did you feel like. Did you feel like those were mistakes at the time? [00:49:06] Speaker D: Like, I thought it made me like. I don't know, I don't know what the fuck. [00:49:10] Speaker B: I ain't a mistake if you learn from it. [00:49:13] Speaker D: Yeah, but the thing is, it's like. [00:49:14] Speaker A: A, like a learning experience. [00:49:16] Speaker D: I didn't. [00:49:16] Speaker B: If you're still alive, you haven't failed. [00:49:18] Speaker D: Yeah, I just got tired of it, you know, I mean, I just got tired of it. Just. I felt like I just was losing more than I was gaining after so many years, you know? To me, it just finally hit. [00:49:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that I like, I like microwave. I like when you like. You bringing that up, man. Cuz I. A lot of times people think that the mistakes make them a failure, but it doesn't, it actually makes you better. Like if you decide to learn from. [00:49:42] Speaker D: It, makes you stronger. Experience, you know, that will make you real. [00:49:45] Speaker B: Only real motherfuckers can take like that. Like a narcissistic person will never, will never see their mistake or believe they made a mistake, so they're never gonna fix it. So typically the narcissistic people are always gonna be in the same fucking spot. And that's how you can we. That's how you gonna weed out who's who, you know what I'm saying? When motherfuckers are real enough to, you know. Cause I love knowing when I have a flaw, like, please let me know. We don't have. We don't ever have to argue, you know what I'm saying? There should never be an argument with me unless you don't know how to communicate, you know what I'm saying? Because if there's something wrong, if I did something wrong, I wanna know. I'm not gonna fucking argue with you. I'm like, okay, cool. You tell me what I did wrong. But if I feel like it wasn't wrong, I'll explain why I think that you listen to me. Then you can explain why that wasn't what it, you know, why that didn't make sense and I explained why you didn't make sense. And if we come to agreement, cool. If we don't, then we agree to disagree. Once we realize we couldn't, you know, have connect the same minds. Agree to disagree. Don't got to be no fight, no argument. Just, that's what it is, you know? You can't force somebody. You can't force somebody to be what they. What you want them to be. Just fucking. You can force yourself to be who you around who you want to be around. You know what I'm saying? Just be, you know, be around who you want to be around. Like if you don't want to be around me because we don't think cool, move around. Why we got a fight. [00:51:05] Speaker C: You can't change who's around you. But you can change who's around you. [00:51:07] Speaker B: That's what I mean. Yeah. [00:51:11] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. Like, just being able to disagree with somebody and be all right with it says a lot about your. Your character. [00:51:18] Speaker B: You can't change who's around you, but you can change who's around you. Yeah. Stop trying to change people and just change who you hang out with. [00:51:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:51:26] Speaker B: Simple. [00:51:27] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:28] Speaker B: If everybody did it but you. Less murders and corpus come on, do. [00:51:32] Speaker A: For real. I wouldn't change anything, though. For real. It made me who I am today. Says Fernando. Mister Z. Alright, guys, we're coming to.

I'm a spiritual person. He made a version with that, in the version with the hamburger patty, and I had the chicken I gave Fred at the Fred store, the hamburger, man, and we enjoyed that shit. That shit was crazy. I didn't think I would like a honey bun burger, but the honey bun tastes better cooked. The honey bun stays better cooked. Nice, bro. [00:53:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I was thinking that, too. I was like, I don't think I. [00:53:22] Speaker B: Would like, kind of remind me of, like, a crispy cream donut.
