Like in the black community, that's what I heard. nah I think you ain't a black father until you get on child support cause then you know like what it take to be a black father I think my dad was on child support years and years I think it's just like in a black community I feel like the government is taking a woman it's like yo if you grew up in an inner city community you had a kid with a woman it's like if you gonna go out of the way and try to make some of yourself the government gonna take your spouse because now they tell the spouse yo you're gonna be in section eight you're gonna get free food food stamps the government just took took my mom now they took my mom now my dad can't even come back to the house so it's like why because if he comes back then she loses the the benefits so it's like exactly so it's like the government really just took your bitch so as a black father it's like man to experience that you really you know i mean to be a black dad and in all seriousness is like really bad because you have a kid and you're trying to go out and make some of yourself and these women the government come in and take it right out because it's like yo it's hard to be a dad my dad had me when he was in college at Louisiana Tech oh he went to Louisiana Tech yeah like that up in Ruston huh yeah right around you right around your area was he playing ball up there of course my dad was touchdown Eddie Brown like a bring him up I'm going to see a picture of him man touchdown Eddie Brown pull up the Louisiana Tech There you go right there.

Yo, he's like the number one arena league football player all time. Really? Did he play in Boise? Where did he play arena at? He played in Albany Fibers, the team I just bought. And I realized they don't want us to own shit either, bro. I bought the team. They was kicking me off the field. I think I just got to move out of America. What do you think, TV? I'm trying to think where you could, because you would be considered an export at that point.
9:35Yes. So that's a trade agreement we'd have to get with another continent, I would guess. I'm trying to think of who we could get for you. Who could we get on the international market? That's a good question. That's what I'm saying. Who could we do it? How could we do it? Who could we trade an AB for? That's what I'm saying. What's the market value for this shit? Yeah, what's the... What's the pussy rate on that? Yeah, what's the exchange rate on the NASDAQ? You know, what's the exchange rate on the AB if we put you out there? For real, I be feeling like a cow or a dog. Like these bitches, Theo, these bitches want to milk me like a cow.
10:09Who you talking about when you say them? People in general, people that's around you that know your position. Like Theo, you real successful now. Like do people just take photos of you everywhere? Or do people expect more out of you? Like if you was going to a restaurant with your buddies, like who covering the town? Yeah, I think I would like to cover it most of the time just because I know that I have the ability to cover it without having to worry about it as much maybe, you know, the next day or week, you know. But sometimes, yeah. You don't feel like a cow? I feel like a cow, but I feel like I'm my own shepherd at the same time.
10:46Okay, I like that. You got to be your own shepherd, but you don't want people to treat you like a cow. You don't want people to treat you like a cow. Yeah, no, I think, no, I don't, I think, what makes me kind of uncomfortable? Yeah, sometimes if people are recording you for no reason, that's weird. But that's weird. But that's the new world we live in. Everyone want to get that film of you just so they can show somebody later or just feel like they cool by association. And it's like, yo, boy, I didn't want you to record me right now. I'm relaxed. Yeah. You don't need cameras right now. Dude, I saw one one time.
11:23It was me just walking somewhere, dude. And I'm not the best walker or whatever, you know. How you walk? You got a nice scroll? Are you walking like What you emphasizing when you walking with a scrot TV I say chest up Eyes up You on your toes or your heels I'm right in the middle baby I'm that middle dog You won't catch me on the front or the back Just somewhere in the middle I see at the 50 yard line That's where I'm at bro Right in the middle I'm that fulcrum baby You don't know if the lord's getting me or the devil's getting me I'm right there I'm on that tightrope That's how I walk. I like that.
12:00I'm on that fucking tightrope, boy. You don't know if I'm fucking, you don't know what I'm doing. I like that. But yeah, I like to be, I walk, let me see. Yeah, I kind of push my, like, forward. I move, like, I'm moving forward. Like a demon. Wow. Yeah, like a pretty nice demon, though. Like that nice ass. Yeah, like that nice. Superhero vibes. Like that nice ass demon. And yeah, but sometimes, yeah, I saw a video one time and it was like, damn, this dude ugly, bro. That was a fucking video. That was the caption. I was like, damn. There was hating on you? No, when somebody call you ugly, that means you swaggy.
12:38That's an excuse for it. They didn't mean it like that. I think they didn't mean it like that. Oh, I like your attitude. When people call you ugly, that means you swaggy. Like, look at this ugly motherfucker. That means you looking fly, bro. You know what I'm saying? Oh, that's a good attitude. You right, bro. We ugly as fuck, son. Ugly motherfucker. Ugly ass. Look at these pieces of shit. That's a good attitude, man. You're right, I am ugly motherfucker. And watch my ugly ass get some shit done. Yeah, watch this ugly motherfucker go to work. That's a good attitude. Life is about attitude, you know why?
13:17It really is. People like to create narratives, create stories. They don't really care how people feel. They don't care how your family react. Like, to keep us at a certain level, I don't think that's just a community. Because, bro, I grew up in Miami, Florida, Liberty City. We had a big drug game, if you never heard about it, called John Doe. Yeah, Michael Irvin, huh? Yeah, but Michael Irvin from, like, Michael Irvin just played football in Miami. I don't know if he grew up in Liberty City. I think he grew up in Broward. So I don't really know what his lifestyle was. But I know I grew up on 58 Terrace and 17th Avenue in the heart of Liberty City.
13:49Wow. You know what I'm saying? in the culture of a black community because I know I love to see you talk about black people, black community because I feel like you're from New Orleans so you've been around a lot of black people your whole life. But being in Liberty City is not like the country because I know New Orleans is like country, low country. It's like a mix. Louisiana is a mix of like country, city. It's a mix of country, light city. Exactly. But in Liberty City we have like the John Doe boys is like the police of the neighborhood. so like these guys like you pull them up yo pull up John Doe weed bass and blow he's pulling up shitty watch trying to watch later yeah I'm trying to show I'm trying to educate you guys about the black community where we come from look up the guy from John Doe his name Traven Bubba just look up Miami John Doe put it on these motherfuckers watching Mythbusters on this bitch put something on man put it on Jack John Doe right there death penalty case of John Doe gang leader in peril as judge disqualified.
14:49Liberty City. You see that? In the 1990s. In the 1990s. Okay. In Liberty City. So when you do the homework, the black community is ran by a John Doe group gang. They just make money in our neighborhoods. You see what I'm saying? They don't even live there. No, they live there. They live on the next block on 58th Street. Yes. Trav, his family had a whole crowd. This guy had a whole... It's like they was running an... a business in the inner city that wasn't the right business but they showed the inner city people hope like the good cars that came by when we had football games they came and supported like you guys playing against them oh yeah we got here go to money jerseys they gave us hope nice shoes yeah nice opportunities to make us look forward for the great things but these environments that was called what section 8 you ever heard of section 8 oh yeah so these type of environments was given to who?
15:47Our moms. Most of the people that's living in the inner city is single moms that's been provided the house from the government to put us in these places with low-income people. And so we had the 106 in Park, the Look At TV. We had the John Doe guys that come over and give us hope about, you know what I'm saying? They was like our neighborhood heroes because we didn't see, people didn't come to Liberty City and have regular lives, kind of like. Nah, they didn't. There wasn't like a lot of dads. that were like doctors and shit like that. Nah, it wasn't a lot of dad presence, period. Because it's Section 8.
16:21Your dad can't even come around these areas. So these areas are outsourced by the government because now if your dad come in, play your mom, they don't get the food stamp card to buy you food. So these guys are like our heroes that gave us hope in those situations. You know what I mean? Yeah, now I see that. I never really thought about that concept before that the dad couldn't come back because it would affect... Now your dad gonna come. If your dad come, your mama don't get the Section 8. She don't get the free lunch, the free housing. What women who have a lot of kids and a lot of stress and a lot of dudes with a lot, you know what I mean?
16:51Yeah, I didn't thought about it like that. You know what I mean? Well, in our neighbor, in our area, a lot of the black girls got, they all got pregnant, you know, over the summertime after seventh grade. Because white people, I love my white people, they put their kids on birth control at 16. They already got a chip in them that's blocking it. That's probably causing other black moms. they already had a kid probably early. So whatever your family or your mom, whatever you grew up in that situation, to you, that would come the normalcy. You know what I mean? So the percentage of black women going to college is pretty low.
17:29So if you're in a neighborhood where it's a fast neighborhood and people growing up fast and they doing stuff fast, you're probably, I mean, the less likely chance of you definitely getting pregnant. Because alpha male, you know, black dick is king. Yeah, I haven't seen it. Yeah, I don't see it. I mean, I've seen some of it online. I don't need to see any right now. You know what I'm saying? I'm good. I hope these shades block out black dick, bro. You feel me? Because I ain't trying to see any today, bro. Yo, the rate of fucking? Yo, in the Liberty City, they see a fine girl. They're like, yo, TV, you done nut in that?
18:04Nuh-uh. You should nut in that. That's what the black culture are preeminated in Liberty City. So then I have to go over and try to get some sex with a lady? I mean, no. They telling you, did you nut in that? Like, if you was from Liberty City and you brought a hot girl, they would have been like, yo, TV, you ain't nut in that? Wow. They giving you the wrong guidance. Oh, I see. At an early age. Imagine, you were in the neighborhood. They didn't say, hey, TV, you didn't take that lady on a nice date? No, they all tell you to take her on a date. They're just going to say, bust a nut in her. Oh, wow.
18:34What up? Dude, the cracker of the year this year was Shane Gillis, man. Congratulations, dude. Yeah, Shane Gillis is amazing, man. The cracker of the year was Donald Trump. Oh, he was cracker of the year. Yeah, man. He overcame so much. And he kept his class. He kept his coolness. Imagine, he almost got killed while running for president. Yeah. Almost got took down by people trying to take him to jail. You never really see a cracker really go through this type of intensity of his life and the government trying to take you down. It's only like a nigga thing, to be real. But he handled it with such class.
19:08Did that give him more respect? Of course. You see how many black people changed the tide and switched for him? You see Stephen A. Smith apologize like a bitch now? He can't change it too. Yeah, he fell on his knees too. Everybody. Exactly. Because he had a certain point. He showed it. Because Trump showed that he could be a nigga and handle it with class. It's like black people go through that shit all the time. Look at my boy Young Thug. He's fucking with the jail for some shit he made up. Some shit was made up. Like he, you know what I mean? Free Young Thug. Free Quavo too. Is he locked up?
19:36No, all these guys out. Quavo, Young Thug's out. Oh, good. Free Young Dirt. For young Dirk, what'd he do? Or what didn't he do? I mean, what they say he do. It's a bunch of he say, she say. I don't know the facts. Don't ask me, Jack. Don't ask me. I got nothing to do with it. I got nothing to do with it, man. You dig? But no, that's a big thing that happened for Trump was they put him on all of those charges, right? He was in court every week. And then they tried to shoot him. They tried to kill him. And so that's, if anything, if anybody, if any group could probably relate to some of that type of energy, black community.
20:13They trying to kill us every day. You know about Martin Luther King, you see Nipsey Huss. It's a whole list of, yo, pull up the list of black guys that was elite who just died out the blue. Maybe it was, what do they call it when they kill you out the blue and they don't even know? Oh, assassination or whatever? No, that's when they just kill you. Oh, they just. What do they call it when they just, they kill you and they just be like, oh, it was a, you know what it's called. Oh, what, accident? assassinate no we just tried that one conspiracy exactly it was a kapussy kapussy yeah it's like they think black people is like the new vagina like the designer vagina we gonna keep using them keep fucking them no you gonna keep fucking them like what happened to Kobe Bryant I never see no other airplane going down never one when other time has it happened when a chopper just went off like that yeah and it was for Kobe Bryant though I think Donald Trump just did a big thing yesterday released the conspiracy information for the King family Martin Luther King why is this hiding conspiracy amongst people of my kind of people that's being fucked over well why first of all if we live in a country where it's free where the communication yeah why didn't his family didn't get the the codollices that know what happened well why didn't we all just get the truth you know what I'm saying why the files have to be like why is there secret files because black guys are like designer vagina.
21:36They just get fucked. I mean, that go to list. Yo, you got the list? Like Linciaga, bro. Yeah, it's like they just fucking you over. Well, did you see some of the stuff I've seen is that people are trying to accuse him of being homosexual. Of course, that's what happened with every black man. They just try to throw him under the... Throw you under the... Just throw your fucking shit that you build up like it don't even matter. Under the L-G-B-U-S. Dude, dude, Martin Luther King was in a hotel getting pussy before they shot him. I believe he was. Come on, man. You see how he looks? You think Dr.
22:07King is not getting pussy? Oh, yeah. I could see him definitely getting some. But that's what they do. They change the narrative on God's... Well, they want to... Why do they do that, though? It could be a character assassination. Nah. Yeah, it's always a character assassination when you're black because they're always going to make it seem like you're just too aggressive or too flamboyant. You know what I'm saying? But when they say... When you say they are, does it mean like... Are you talking the FBI, the CIA? I don't know who is they. They is a word that you just try to figure out who is they.
22:39You know what I'm saying? So when I say they, I'm not talking about no particular people. But it's definitely some people in power. I don't know who they is. They is a mystical word. That's why it's called compussy. Conspiracy, compussy. Because we don't know who the guy who's doing the fucking, but we know we getting fucked. Right, TV? Oh, if I wake up with cum on my shoulder, bro, something must have happened. Bro, I'm having wet dreams that's come all over my fucking self. Something must have happened, bro. Yeah, bro. I'm trying to feel like what's going on. What's going on, man? What the fuck is going on?

I feel like in life, it's free to be who you are. But were you always like that as much or were you more of like, was there a point where you're like, you know what, I'm just going to do things how I want to do them now.
26:53Nah, you got to always respect authority. You know what I'm saying? In life, you got to know your position and respect authority. You can't really, in life you need people. You can't really do nothing by yourself. Even playing football, it's like, yo, I'm going against my man, but I got 10 more mans helping me out to make this easier. So it's like, in life you need a team. You know what I'm saying? You can never do nothing just by yourself. And there's always a collective of people that's there, you know, in your corner that's, you know, preeminating your highest self. So to me, I just always felt like, yo, I grew up in Liberty City.
Read the full transcript
27:30My dad was a great football player, but my dad endured a lot of adversity through his family. You know what I'm saying? was just growing up in the 40s with my grandma. My grandma having to work a job and my dad having to take sports for like a job early. You know what I'm saying? Right, so was it even something you think he wants? Because I feel like this and I was, I wonder if there's a lot of young black men, right? Young black women that do sports that don't even really want to be doing them, but it's a means to an end because at some point it was kind of the only choice. I think there's more choices now.
28:02Exactly. You know, and that's just my outsider judgment. I'm not saying that I know that, but it seems like... No, you do know that. That's a valid opportunity because think about it. You growing up in Liberty City, bro. I'm growing up where it's like drug selling and dope dealers, killings right in this neighborhood. Guys that's going to prison for life right in this neighborhood. So it's like you either become a part of that or you make a commitment right there and you're within yourself to be like, yo, I'm not going to be that. Right. I'm going to do this. And that preeminates the attitude and that individualistic.
28:34Oh, I see what you're saying. You know what I'm saying? Right there, you're creating some sense of individualism just by not going with the mainstream that is in those types of neighborhoods to have a little bit more drugs and violence going on. Exactly. Because you can either be a part of it because you've seen it or you can commit to be the difference. You know what I'm saying? But do the people in the neighborhood that are committed to the more hectic lifestyle and the more trench behavior, do they look down upon guys who are trying to get out? They respect it, man. Like those guys that come to me and be like, yo, don't do what we do, man.
29:05Ain't got money, man. Make sure I got your jerseys this week, man. We got the game. Two touchdowns. So they giving me incentives. Like, yo, keep doing this. Because I feel like guys in the city, when they get accustomed to the gritty, it's just because they know. It's like, man, ain't no other way for us. That's how my uncle grew up. My uncle just always felt like, man, I ain't working for nobody. I ain't because he felt like he was already in the system. But I just felt like, man, I wasn't going to let the system deteriorate me from going after who I wanted to be. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like a lot of women that's in the black communities and males, they get accustomed with the trauma and the stuff.
29:42They almost get addicted to it. The trauma and everything because your whole family here. You see your mom like, damn, this is what my mom went through and turned into. So sometimes I feel like you feel like, man, it's a part of my family now to just be here. But to me, you know, I had the attitude like, man, I ain't going to let my situation now affect what I can be and what I can do. because in this situation right here, I could make it better. And then once there's enough better avenues, the younger youths coming up start to see better opportunities. Better opportunities. Oh, I remember, yeah, when I was growing up, the black kids in my area, they didn't have, we had like the best job you could have, it felt like, was a school teacher, right?
30:22We had a couple of black female school teachers. We had an assistant principal, Raleigh Coleman, shout out, RIP. And he used to sleep in the trunk of his car at lunch a little bit. He used to catch him a little break, catch him a little nap. Probably one time I was over by the fence. I saw him getting in that bitch. I was like, damn, what's Raleigh doing? And he looked at me like this. Tell nobody. He was catching a little nap. But they didn't have a lot. I remember, dude, it wasn't until a few years ago I went to a doctor for the first time that was a black doctor. That's why I seen it. I'd never seen it.
30:57And I'd never thought that I'd never seen it before. I've seen black doctors on television. And I'd seen black, you know, and I'd probably met black doctors, but I'd never been into the room. You're like, okay, you're going to go meet with the doctor. And you get in there and it's a black guy. Like, damn, is he going to know what's wrong with me? You know, I just, my brain didn't. Comfortability with it. Yeah, it was just different. So then I started to think, well, I wonder what it was like for black people always going to white doctors. And then be like, does this doctor care about like, just even just the thought in your head, right?
31:23Yeah. So that was just, it's definitely interesting. I think you never really see people. I feel like you come accustomed to you know what I'm saying like it don't matter what color the person is in position you know what I'm saying I feel like black people grew up where it was so rough it's like you gotta have a lot of love in your heart to not even get into that yeah to just turn demon it's like yo you gotta have you know what I'm saying so black people do got a lot of love in their heart because you go through the most it's like yo I can't even be a good football player without somebody saying something negative and it's like I guess for a black person we're used to that we're used to people assassinating our character or putting pressure on us to turn oil to get more diamonds out of us because that's how we was built yeah it's in the history man damn well yeah and I think I always I always like you fucked some black pussy before right well let's let me think about some of this I yeah I definitely did you have an addiction for design a vagina.
32:28I haven't been to the addiction yet. Yeah. This was an old one. Not an addiction. Everybody get pussy. You know about testosterone? Yes, sir. Okay. Do you ever get, it's like you got no pussy and you just feel like your mood off? Oh, yeah, boy. Okay, then. So you a man. You get it. I'm not saying you addicted. I'm saying you need sex because it's a part of the human body. That's normal. Exactly. It's normalcy. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah, buddy. I know what you mean. That's normal, man. That's normal behavior. Let me think about this. You know, there was, I definitely, I envied black culture sometimes.
32:59I mean, a lot of people envy black culture because black culture is where like people take a product to make it cool, right? So a lot of times a company will come out with a product nowadays, they attach a black artist to it or put it through the black community in some way and then it makes it cool, right? Does that make sense to you? Of course, because black people - I don't want to say I'm accusing of that or anything. I'm just saying that that's what I've heard. Does that make sense to you? That's pretty much a fact of the world. It's like, name some things that's black that you need in your life.
33:26Coffee, I know every... Oh, yeah. Coffee, you got oil. What else you like that's black? Hold on, let me just ask you some questions. Ooh, black olives? All right, so let me just ask you some questions. Yeah, give me some black olives, right? Fuck the green olives, bro. If you was to go get a haircut, or if you were to call a handyman, what's some of the, like, Spanish woman clean the house for me, Mexican people clean up real well, you know what I mean? Like what's some stuff you use black people for? Let me think. Feel good, music, entertainment. So black people set the culture for like. Artistic culture.
34:04Artistic culture for how you feel, how you dance. How you, I mean, the value of jewelry. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, a lot of culture is kind of set by the. Coming through the black culture. Let me think. Let me think of the word I'm looking for. Give me one second here. A lot of Black people I think add jazz to things Right? And that could be to music Black people be getting robbed for everything What's the artist who was a big artist Who just copied everybody Bruno Mars or whatever? Nah, I don't know Bruno copied Oh, copied? I didn't hear that It was a rock star guy Who just copied every black guy's song Big famous guy You talking about Elvis?
34:44Elvis Copying off Chuck Berry Alright, thank you Exactly Robbed the black culture of all their songs And people just let him go with it Did he? bring it up did elvis rob the black folks elvis fucked us over damn really well his manager was his manager was a dog man i'm not saying elvis was fucking girls that was 13 how you think r kelly got the artistic to know like what a rock star is you don't think r kelly i think came up with some a little bit of his own shit man yo elvis was only fucking girls that was teenage ages it was really yo google it so we can educate each other here yeah let's see what's going on man man.
35:20What did Black and... Ray Charles. That boy stole Ray Charles so bar for bar. Everybody stole everything from Ray Charles, bro. Come on, dog. You're right, but it's like Elvis was so big. Elvis was so big. Right, you couldn't say hey. You couldn't say no against him. You gotta give the credit to the people you take. You just can't rob people of their art. Oh, I agree with that. You know what I'm saying? You gotta at least get the credits. In 1994, Ray Charles sat down for an interview with NBC's Bob Costas and gave scathing critique of Elvis Presley to say that Elvis was so great and saw outstanding like he's the king, the king of what?
35:50I know too many artists that are far greater. He was doing our kind of music. So he's saying that he's like, he's saying like there was some culture vulture style going on. But does it say that he stole? I'm not saying that he didn't. I've heard this. Pull up the songs that Ray Charles said that he stole that he could show you the bar for bar. Probably on YouTube. Yeah, I'm just trying to get some truth here because I've heard this too. I don't know if it's true. It might be. It's definitely true. But think about it. If black people ran the country, it'd be true too, because they'll will they people in the way too.
36:20So it's not like a knock. It's just a fact. If you came up in music culture and you heard about Elvis Presley, because what was Elvis Presley time that he was around? We probably wasn't even around when he was around. 50s or whatever. Exactly. So you got to think back. If R. Kelly came up and these guys were looking up to a guy. Yeah. Oh, no. Yeah, play those songs right there. Okay. 10 black rock and roll musicians Elvis Presley stole music from. It was hard for black artists to get their music played on mainstream stations. But that did not stop record label executives and white artists from discovering music from black artists and covering their songs.
36:58Elvis was arguably one of the biggest stars to cover songs by black artists while mimicking their mannerisms and vocal inflections. And I said the king of what? He got mad at me. You see, I don't think of Elvis like that because I know too many artists that are far greater than Elvis. I think Elvis was a person who came along at the right time. He was a white kid that could do rock and roll or rhythm and blues or whatever you want to call it. And the girls could swoon over him. And that Cole got in trouble in Alabama when the women swooned over him. Got put out of town. And black people have been going out shaking their behind for centuries.
37:39What the hell is unusual about them shaking their hips and stuff? And that's all Elvis was doing was copying that. This is Otis Blackwell. He is the voice and pen behind some of Elvis' biggest hits, such as Don't Be Cruel and All Shook Up. After briefly pursuing a solo career, he decided to step behind the scenes and become a songwriter when he discovered how good of a living he can actually make doing that. Yeah, I'm not saying I'm just curious. I'm curious about it too, man, because you always hear this, but then I'll never really have any information about it. You're right in front of me. Because this kind of shit happens all the time in every type of community where in every type of business where people will see stuff, they copy it and they take it.
38:21There's still lawsuits about this every day, it feels like. Also, the laws at the time didn't, like the laws protecting against this are stronger now than they were at the time. I'm sure. And if a black guy walked into a place that he stole my music, he'd probably be scared to even say that because of the repercussions He was so big for the executives. Like back in the day, there was a different time if you like just dive into the history and see like it wasn't big for black blues artists. They was cutting you off. That was what Ray Charles was saying. Like they was stopping your way for even making means.
38:50You know what I'm saying? I could definitely see that. But that's part of being creative. If he, I love Elvis Presley. I don't want to say it's no knock on Elvis, but it just goes back to the theme that we was talking about. Black people in history been put down. But if a black person ran away, world, then it'd probably be the same way. They would just do it a different way. They would just do it for the black people. But it's not like a bad thing. It's just what it is. It's what it is. Exactly. But I could imagine this. Imagine this, man. Imagine you created something really cool, right? Especially music.
39:17Of course. Because I think music is so special to people, right? And then somebody stole it, right? And you can't even, because of how you're perceived. But that's black culture. That's what I'm saying. But how you're perceived at that time, especially, you couldn't even go in and say, hey, this person stole it. Nobody ain't even going to represent you. Who are you going to represent you to go after that? So you got to see your craft. But that's the part of being black, bro. That's the anger that you know you being robbed of your shit. You being raped of your character. You being character assassinated.
39:48You being conspired. And it's like you still got to find the energy to put yourself up. Fucking put your shoes on. Exactly. Just like being a football player. Like, yo, boy, don't forget. A football player is a number. Right? It's you a number. Yeah. They're picking many of you. Number 84, number 72, number two. Yeah. It's all a number. So I was like, it's going to come to an end. You know what I'm saying? Like, what are you going to want? You want me to leave when I'm hurt? Or you want me to leave when they don't want me no more? Okay, so how am I going to transition to another job? Right. Are they going to take all I could be is a coach?
40:17Like, I can't even show up on time to be a player. But, bruh, if you work for FedEx, you can get that bitch there quick, bruh. Nah, I can't work for FedEx. But I'm just saying, bruh. That's what I'm saying. But that's like an average job, like from a guy coming in. You know how fast you can get that bitch there? Bruh. less than overnight, bro. You know how many hits I took? You get that thing near fat, bro. You put a post-flat on that thing, bro. Imagine how many times I hit the ground. I played football since I was six years old to like 31. Like, yo, 27 years old, somebody, you waking up not even thinking in reality.
40:49My life is like, yo, how can I get open on, Theo? I'm living this. This is my life, waking up. How am I going to get open? How am I going to win the... That's not even real life, Theo. Well, is it? I mean it's a short part of life Right It's a stick Yeah it's not real life But it's definitely like Nah it's real But it's like Yo it's just a part of your life To get to a position in life Where you can live a better life Right You know what I'm saying Cause how many opportunities You got when you coming out Of a black neighborhood Like what you really could do You either could represent The neighborhood Rapping And doing some stuff Okay rapping Maybe Civit Like you know Politics You could be a Nah I ain't no black guy Coming from the city Made a hot dog Oh, come on.

Do you see him? I see him. Pull him up. Pull him up, man. Let me see what he was repping. Oh, bro. He was repping? He was Martin Luther X. He was trying to be everybody. That's what I'm saying. It just looked like a joke. He was trying to be everybody. Yeah, he was the nigga of the day. Oh, he was? Yeah, he definitely was. He's the only black guy doing some shit like that at that type of event. Well, you know who I'm talking about.

50:05You see a nappy hair guy with gold. No, I don't see the nappy hair and gold. That's not the part of the judgment. Some of it is, some of his behaviors and mannerisms make me think. Okay, what's the behavior? just some of the like things where he's kind of fading in out of consciousness that's a part of being an artist it could be he's still in his artistry you're right that's what big people draw to him he's an artist but you just can't throw him to the side like not every time he's doing something cool or if he's doing the lazy oh he do the crazy he got the definitely he got like uh he got different dance he's got the he got the bop he's got this he got it oh he has like it's almost like a like a redesign of bobby smert like the you know i'm in a totally different...
50:44Yo, he's like the African... He's like the Haiti king, man. He's like... Oh, I didn't even think of him being Haitian. Is he Haitian? Of course. You know what it's like to be in Haiti? Yo, Haiti don't got water all night like America. Really? Bro, in Haiti, you got to hang your clothes when you wash them on the line. TV, if you go around the front of the house, your brother wearing your drawers. You sit in the whole neighborhood wearing your clothes. Your clothes gone. You don't fucking wait with this clothes? Yeah, you fucking stand right by there and watch them bitches. Watch the bitches drop.
51:13Because your clothes, your boxers is wearing by your brother. It's Haiti. They're not getting clothes. You're right, man. Bro, it's a different life. So before you quick to write off people. I didn't write him off. I'm not saying you wrote him off. Jump to conclusions. Jump to conclusions. I'm not saying you. I'm saying they. I'm saying they. But I'm part of that. You're right. Jumping to conclusions, right? Because sometimes we all do it. I see a clip and jump to conclusions. Oh, you're right. Sometimes we all guilty. I'm not saying it's you. It's us as humans. As a culture. As humans. Just as humans, yeah.
51:40As humans. because we all get the same hours. We all feel the same emotions. We all go through the same things. We just got to know how to be better people because they preeminate a better world. If we work together better and we get to know each other better, we can do better things. Because we all need each other. No matter what you got or what we got, we all got to go to work together to make something work. That's what we call the ecosystem. Economy. Economy. You ain't know I knew this shit. I knew you knew it. I knew you knew it, man. Yeah, but yeah, man. That's what we're trying to do. We're trying to bridge together the racism to bring more people together so it's not a default of having your guy in prison because someone threw...
52:18Because, bro, being placed in a position could make you feel a way. Imagine your guy who you love, you put in your top firecrackers. Not because what he got. Not because what he's doing. Because what his heart is like and what position he was put in and that position that was put in preeminated his behavior because he felt like shit, everybody gave up on me. and that is not a colored thing or that's a human thing anybody who put it under the circumstance of everybody saying fuck you eventually you gonna say fuck you yeah you know what I mean well it's so funny that's I think that's one of the what I think when I was young I did like I could sometimes I don't even know if this is racist to say man but I'm gonna say that shit well get it off your chest hold on we all from different ways of the world sometimes I would Sometimes I would see black people or other black kids and stuff, and I would be like, I don't know what their life was like, but I feel the same way they do.
53:19There's a little part of me that has the same feeling. I just felt like the world hated me so far. Because you're different, bro. You come from Louisiana, your country, look at your haircut, the way you talk. Yeah, I don't know what it was. Whatever it was, there was something inside of me that fucking was like, You feel like you're a different guy, bro. You got a creativity to give to the world, bro. You got a connection. But sometimes there was this little part of me that felt like I could mildly relate. Mildly. I'm not saying I don't know what it's like to be like somebody's life. And I'm not trying to keep interrupting.
53:52I just want to be clear. I'm not trying to. God's respect. I'm here with you. I know you. God, man. It's gang time. So the cracker today. So those are, it's just. It's just the bridge the gap between people loving each other. Yeah. Because, bro, say some of the words that Crackers made up. Like, we all got different legal and we all like it. Yeah. You know what I mean? But you got to watch people's intention, though, too. That's a huge thing. No, but that's what I'm saying. The ex Elon Musk gave us an opportunity on X-Hap to speak freely and positively bring people together. So imagine, I started Cracker of the Day to bring positivity to people.
54:29It is fun. It's fun. People send them all the time. Now, look at that Cracker of the Day. Everywhere I go, they're like, yo, Amy, can you make me the Cracker of the Day? Because his energy is, bro, the world is making people feel better. No matter who you is, people just want to feel good and live a good life. We all know one thing in the world, right? We're going to pay taxes and die. Yeah. So. In the meantime. In the meantime, let's just live a good life, man, because we don't know when a day is going to happen. Let's just build each other up. I got black baby moms, white baby moms. I love all people.
54:57Everyone should love each other and we should. Well, yeah, no shit we should. We're just having a tough time doing it. Nah, because that's why we need more people like you, bridging the gap, talking about the stuff that's uncomfortable, making awareness. You should bring a black guy up here who's going through some shit and speak to a guy. Bring awareness. Raise awareness so people know you know what's going on. We can't change the rules that isn't aware of the world, but we can allow people to know we're aware of what's going on and we can be a part of the thing that makes people feel good. Yeah, let us at least.
55:28Do all due diligence. To also but just to show each other that we're aware. And that's, I ain't saying you owe me. Right. But act like you know me. Don't act like you don't know what we're facing. Because that's what people were. If people knew other people was aware and it was encouraging, more people would hire. Now your friend who in that situation, he'll make a better decision because he'll understand when he's feeling this trauma. Like, yo, it's okay to be how you. It's okay to feel how you feel. That's the freedom of the world. Right. You don't have to hide your feelings. You don't have to hide who you want to be or who you are.
56:01And if people misjudge you, that'll happen. And that's why we raise awareness to bring people with that misjudgment to make those people feel good while they're going through their trauma. And humor does it. Because we're all facing trauma. And humor does it the most because it's that one you're like, okay. I could get through that. I know what they mean. It's okay to connect these two things. It's okay. And it's funny. Exactly. Getting your sweat on might seem like hard work, But with Symmetry Sauna, it's a work of art.

58:58I know they're not in everybody's price range and that's understandable. But at the same time, I want to support my friend and his amazing company. Now, someone said that the prize for the cracker of the year was Shane Gillis. Shane Gillis was what? Cracker of the year? He was the funniest cracker of the year And I agree, very funny man And the funniest cracker of the year I agree, he got my vote Now my question is, there was said that there was a prize Where whoever won it got to say the N word one time Is that true or not? I heard that I feel like everybody in their life have said the word You said it, rapping the song It's a party bro, everyone said it And kids, even Tom Brady one time told me man my son was asking me about it because it's the curious thing is like you put power on the word like don't say that because but words could mean whatever you want them to mean it's all about how you take it interpreting within yourself oh yeah if you say i'm your favorite nigga it's like yeah i'm your favorite black guy you know what i'm saying if i say you my nigga that mean like you're my god like you my brother if somebody says it to if a black fellow says that to me i feel pretty good for that you like you my nigga like i fuck with you like we genuinely have a bond that I care about you.
1:00:13I feel like, okay, let's do it. I'm going to buy some fucking J's, you know? I'm getting ready to do this. But now, why don't black people lease the N-word out to be said like at a certain event or something? I think there could be a lot of money in that. Is that crazy to say that? I feel like just how you use it. Oh, I agree. I don't mean using it in a derogatory way, but say like tonight they had like Angelina Jolie was paying 50 bands to say it right on a live stream. That'd be cool. And you sold tickets. Because you would want to see how she said it. So that's the thing. And you sold tickets to it.
1:00:46Because she said it like she had slaves or she said it. Right, right. Because I might be fucking a white girl and be like, yo, call me a nigga. Oh, damn. Who are these people? You don't like that? Huh? I have no idea if I like it or not. But I just think like it's like. It's prerogative. Okay. You know what I mean? It's like exciting. It's just like it's fucking. And will they do it sometimes? Yeah. No way. Why wouldn't they? I'll smack them on the ass. Oh, damn. I don't know. I don't know. Giddy up. Oh, I didn't know they're doing all that. So I guess if somebody's fucking you, you can say it.
1:01:16That's crazy. How many times you said the word nigga is just like rapping a song or. Oh, probably just a couple hundred times though, I bet. That's what I'm saying. It's a part of the words and we don't have to hide our feelings as people of saying stuff to be a normalcy. Right, right. To feel. Yeah. When it goes against kind of what's normalcy. But I think it's. Yeah. Obviously you want it out of like people that are using it in like a derogatory. But do you. I feel like when people get mad anyway, they're going to use it in a derogatory way because that's what they was taught, to give off negative energy.
1:01:47You know what I'm saying? I used it one time. There was a black cat or whatever. It was crossing my path or something. And I was furious. What you said? Look at this nigga. Say that shit. Let me hear how you said it. Say it, dude. Say that shit, Theo. Are you saying it, dude? Right now, say that shit. It was around Halloween, dude. All right. Let me hear how you say that shit. Let me hear how you say it. I cannot, bro. I can't say it, dude. Why you can't say it? Bro, because it's not going to end well, I don't think. Why would it not end well? It's the N word, bro. Vocabulary. You know what I'm saying?
1:02:13We have to bleep it out, don't we? Nah, don't bleep it out, bro. Just start. No, hold on. Just be like, A.B., you're my favorite nigga. All right, A.B. All right, perfect. Wow, why did we say it, man? I can't be saying that kind of shit. That's what I'm saying, bro. I don't want to say it anymore. Nigga me, never ignorant. Never ignorant getting goals accomplished. It's all about what the acronym stands for, bro. Words can mean whatever you want to mean. But you can't be running. I can't be out at the mall or something and saying it and I'm trying to stop somebody. Like, hey, here's the acronym.
1:02:45You know, like that's the thing. I don't want to say it anymore. When people know you from, you grew up with black people all your life. Yeah, but I just don't want to say it anymore, man. How about this? Let me think about this. No, because think about it. We got to change, reverse racism. Yeah. And that's what the cracker of the day is about. To make the comfortability. Because you don't have to hide some of your, like. But you can say, you my G. You my champ. You know? No, no, no, no, no. You're calling me your favorite nigger. It's not a bad thing because, again, what? In 50 years, people will look back and think that this is an important conversation, I think.
1:03:14Of course this is an important conversation because we're educating each other and we're bridging the gap of racism. We should not be doing that, dude. You and me, dude. This is where we are. This is where we are in life, bro. That's true. This is where we are. You're right. This is where we are right now. This is where we are, bro. That's why Trump the president. That's why Trump went through all that stuff. Being assassinated. That's a black person thing. Going through fucking the court system. Every day. And he's showing that it's bullshit because he's showing that. He was at court, left court, only to try to be assassinated and had to go back to court.
1:03:44That's fucking being like Martin Luther King, fucking Malcolm X, all these fucking black guys in history that we just went over. Cracker of the year, bro. Look at that motherfucker right there, bro. He showed all black people that he understand what it takes to be a nigga. Gang, gang, bro. Assassinated. Courtism. It's like, come on. Everything. He free. He free. He free. wife. Third wife. Tall son. That's black stuff. Of course. He got baby moms. I don't hear about his child support. It's heavy, dude. But I'm saying this, though. You don't think, say, if Angelina Jolie was going to rattle off an N-word at 7.30 tonight, right?
1:04:21And the black community sold it on a live stream, right? People could log on and pay to watch it. They're going to know Angelina loved black culture. She could say, nigga. And not hide it. When you could be a realist and be truthful of who you are and not hide who you is, because that's when you're being fake. What's being fake, TV? Hiding who you is. So if you already sent it to yourself at Halloween, why you don't say it with your brother? I'm your nigga. I'm one of your niggas. I just don't want to say it anymore. You got to feel like a man when you say this shit, bro. You already sent it. Don't be fake, because that's the culture.
1:04:55I'm not going to fake it now. I just don't like it. Because that's faking it when you sent it in secret, and you're not able to say it around your people. that's why I'm making cracker of the year the normalcy you're my favorite cracker these are my favorite crackers because yo these are my guys these are my brothers these the gang gang these the people I count on and look up to these the people who run in the world and putting me in position well it's funny because you really kind of came into this position like I got a text from Rogan yesterday last night middle of the night I don't know he's like he's the human owl bro he's the fucking smart genius one of the fucking crackers of the year he's beautiful was he?
1:05:30I didn't know he was cracky. Man, Rogan won some shit too. He was nominated? He won. What do you mean? I didn't know he won. I thought you only gave one award out. Yo, we had a lot of awards. You missed. We had like 12 awards. You did? Yeah. Bro, I love what you're doing though because it's so - We're reversing racism, man. I love it. Well, it's new. We are human. It's new. Anytime, this is like the Kodak Black thing. I go back to one of my friends. Kodak Black, Tony O 'Brown, KBAB. The guy moved artistry and now they think he on drugs. Why he got on drugs? This guy just got a nice bop to himself that sells music.
1:06:01The guy write his own rhymes. I seen him in the closet. He fucking write the rhymes, come back and put them. It's like fucking genius. Genius level. Kid been through so much adversity. Never gave up. Sniper game. It's not to kill people. It's to see the goal and hit it. Gang, dude. How do you get in that? Sniper game. Kodak Black. I'm going to tell him you want to be in it. Oh, that's his club? It's his gang. It's his gang. That's my brother. I got one in the chain. No, I love Kodak, man. I don't think there's anybody like him. But you're right. I jumped against Closies and thought he was, yeah.
1:06:30Oh, I think he reminds me of Lil Wayne in a way, bro. He's like that because think about it. We grew up with this kid for almost a decade in rapping, hits, records, and while going through adversity. Lil Wayne went through adversity. He was with the Hot Boys, went by himself, was the only guy with cash money and fucking turned genius while going through adversity. Went to prison, came back. Kodak Black went through the same fucking shit and still on top of the game and music and creative screen and art screen. And unique But to come through all of that The perseverance Fucking shout out to Donald Trump Man for free And man I love Kodak Black Man not every From Haiti If your clothes not off of the line Your clothes gone man That's it baby If your clothes ain't off of the line Your clothes gone bro So imagine what it's like It's not water all night It's not America man You ain't got water all night You got water all night mother fucker Imagine that Rich Rich ass You coming back over here With little clothes man You ain't got no clothes Your shit shrunk You got nothing Yeah bro What if a big dude borrowed your shit and the next day you got to wear it again?
1:07:30Nothing, man. Ain't no clothes out there. It's bad. So it's like, yo, man, we got to continue to bridge the gap with people who don't understand and make the uncomfortable comfortable. Respect. You know what I mean? And I feel like we got the power to do that. We got the voice and people, you know, and we already doing it. If you already said no word, nigga, then it should be comfortable when you see one of your favorite niggas. They'd be like, yo. What's up, my buddy? I'm your favorite nigga. I think, well, I think there could be a day. I feel like you got to get the comfortability, the growing it.
1:07:56You got to. I can't practice that out in the wild, man. You got to practice it with me. I'm your black friend. You're going to need to practice it with your black friend. Okay. Yeah. I could. You got to practice it with you. Yeah. Just call me. We have niggerisms. I'll call you for crackerisms. Okay. Okay. Hold on. We'll just break bread. Like, yo, if, if you feel me, what do you say? If you didn't have no breakfast waking up as a black guy. Yeah. Fuck. We just eat a bag of chips. Yeah. If you didn't have no food as a white guy. Another barbecue breakfast, bro. You're like, yo, mom, we don't have breakfast?
1:08:23Mom, you know? But we're breaking bread with just cultural things. Because that's what I'm saying. Culture create the economy. You know what I mean? So we create a diverse culture where we could talk about the uncomfortability. You've seen Kanye West, one of my coach friends, talk about the uncomfortability and get people on his ass. But the only thing he was doing was speaking the truth of the uncomfortability. He wasn't trying to bring nobody down. He just said something that made people uncomfortable. But as humans, let's practice more with saying stuff that makes people uncomfortable. No, no.
1:08:56Let's make the uncomfortable comfortable. Let's not make people uncomfortable. Let's work towards bridging racism to make everyone. Man, it's okay if a white person act like a black. Kodak Black want to be Kodak White sometimes. Sometimes he want to be a white boy. He want to act like a white boy. Let him act like a white boy sometimes because guess what? Michael Jackson wanted to be a white boy. He turned white. And an Asian woman. He wanted to be everything. Michael Jackson bleached his skin to turn into a white guy. Imagine what was going on inside of him, man. Of course, because he figured it out.
1:09:27And, man, maybe it's a little better if I look like them. Right. Maybe somebody will care about me if I look like this or something. No, they'll make me the biggest artist ever because now it'll look more better. You think? I mean, if a black guy ran the world, who do you think he'll put in position? You know what? That's a good point. If Michael Jackson didn't look like he looked, do you think he would have been the same successive artist? You might be right. You might not have. You know? Who knows? Might not have. Not in a bad way or anything, but just no judgment. Just as a fact, he might not have.
1:09:54He was a black kid singing in groups. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? He turned white and went so - He can shake it, baby. Ooh-hoo. Exactly. He wouldn't talk like that as a white guy. I was like, that's different. That's interesting, man. Yeah, man. They had - What was I thinking about? What were you just talking about? If Michael Jackson was alive, he'll ask me to smoke one for him. Did he smoke a lot of pot or not Michael Jackson? Bring it up. You know, Michael Jackson was really like how they portrayed him to the world was different how he really was. Well, I heard he really liked women. That's what I've heard.
1:10:27He used to call women fish. Yeah. Good fish. Bring her. Yeah. He gave a woman a hug. Yeah. You could do more than hug me. And they never showed that side of him. They never ever will because they don't need to. We need to show him in a real submissive. You don't need to be a black guy. Like. Right. Dominate with his dick on the table. so you think they that's the thing how media can change so much the perception but they can't do that as much anymore do you feel that? we got the ex-op I will say that man that is one thing I felt like he was it was something where yeah you can say anything you want over here maybe me and you could get on the ex-op and be like alright TV and AB are talking crackerism and niggerism TV if you go to a black party how I should act at a black party.
1:11:16You should probably show up an hour late. Hour late? Yeah. And bring some food. A couple babes with me too. Of course. Bring in the hotties. We need decoration. You know a decoration? Shit that look good. Bottles and a clap. Yeah. You feel me? Maybe because I'm a thug. Right when I walk in put on trick daddy bro. Right away. I'll fucking stand on the porch dog. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? If you don't put on trick daddy I ain't fucking coming in. It's a thug holiday. It's a thug holiday.
1:11:48R.I.P. Trick, man. R.I.P. Trick? Trick's still alive, man. Oh, yeah, damn, bro. He's crazy. You got to come to Miami, man. I didn't know he's down there. That's why we got, of course, Trick got his soul food restaurant. He cooked. Nuh-uh. Of course. He got crazy with his pops. See, me and you, we should talk niggerism and crockerism. I don't know how many times we can say that on here, man. What is wrong with that? They'll stop us, bro. They don't want us communicating like this. You think they do? Who is they? Good question. We don't even know who's they. But they out there. But we got to do what God called us to do.
1:12:18Is communicate. That's all we do, having a conversation. We're not saying that a conversation can have changed anything. We're just opening our minds of people who are getting uncomfortable so they can get comfortable to know two guys from across from the world, from two different cabrids to gap, are being comfortable to talk about how to see it from both sides. Yeah, thanks, man. You know what? Because I think there's not a lot of times where it's like you feel like, like if you're talking to a black person or a black guy where i feel like uh can we try to just be completely real about what we're thinking or what or what our thoughts have been or what our real questions are exactly all of that put that shit on the table so it's like dude i remember first time i ever uh i was doing high school sports or something i was lifting weights and a black friend of mine spotted me, right?
1:13:11He was spotting me. And that was the first time I remember a black guy I'd ever even touched a hand. A black guy hand? Touched my hand. Yeah, we were spotting each other. But it was like, but I would just remember it. You know what I'm saying? Like thinking about it consciously, like, damn, I never just. Right, I'd never. It was the same time when I went into the black doctors. Like, oh, I'd never. I just had never had, like, would it? Like, okay, you know, let's do it. But that's why we should talk about niggerism and crackerism because now it's like, damn, for a person who never had that experience, they could tune in and hear me and you talk.
1:13:39from both sides of a culture and people could dive in and be like, damn, that's pretty cool. It's like that. Like, Oh, I understand that now. So now if a person be able to go to a black party, they might have the Q and A's and they had a black friend. So we're like, Oh shit. I was in the TV and AB in the space. And AB was telling the TV, like you go to a black party, a hotter, you know what I'm saying? Right. What's the culture is. Right. It is like, okay. And TV was telling AB about like how crackerism, if I was to go to a white party, different things, different, different conversations. yeah I think we just have to change the name and take the N word out of the name that's gonna be heavy for people because you can't have somebody talking to their friend and like what are you doing tonight and they're like I'm going to this you know and they're just right but if somebody hears that it's just not gonna end well for people I think it's gonna be a lot I think we just gotta promote it or bridge it in the culture no I love the bridge in the culture part everybody's saying it like you said you said it a hundred times under your breath so it's like no I've said it I mean in music of course that's what I'm saying it's a part of us in music as a culture of people so it's like if you already say something yeah there's been people who've said it I know some people in our area used to write it in like put it in like a piece of paper and then they would put it in a bottle like you know a message in a bottle and they throw it out in a river or somewhere you know cause I feel like the word's been given so much power through like generations of people but it hurt a lot of people so much nah I feel like it only hurts you if you allow it like things in life only give if you give it power to it you know like if you giving it power like oh man I don't want to say it but I'm saying it's like you giving it it's like the boogeyman it's like alright you can go see if he come but it's like it's not real but if you acting like damn the boogeyman might come it's like you getting that emotion in yourself but it's like yeah as people we already you know the by-ratio inter-ratio it's all it's picking up speed oh it's gonna be beige I say all the time in three generations everybody's gonna be beige it's gonna be a mix It's going to be a complete mix, man, especially at the rate that a lot of, there's a lot of.
1:15:40Every white family got some black dick in their family. How many black people you got in your family? One dick? Two dicks? How many people you got? Let me think. I mean, I definitely. There's always some black in the white family. Like, we all mix. My, yeah. I mean, my cousin is definitely. That's what I mean. So you got black in you. So you can't act like you're not dealing with black people on a day-to-day yearly basis that you have. Like, you play with sports with black people. So you heard, you've seen the mannerisms. Yeah, I think it was a lot more like growing up for sure. Of course. And if I was at home, probably would still be kind of the same way.
1:16:11Exactly. So you grew up with that culture already. But if we get out, I don't know if we can be out there. I mean, what do you guys think? Nick, is that a realistic program to start? Or that sounds crazy? Hell yeah, it's realistic. I think it could work. Why not? Well, I disagree with you guys. Why do you think Elon Musk bought the X app from Twitter? Not by saying the N word. To give people the amendment back for freedom of speech. Now, that's a good point. If we don't talk about the uncomfortable, how when you have an interracial baby and my interracial baby go to his white side of his family house.
1:16:42Yeah. Because he got to learn that. He got to understand that because that's some thought he going to have in his head just like your friend. And now they're going to be like, damn, you mixed baby, but I want you to act white. And then it's like, what if he like wearing the jersey like your friend? Now they're like, oh, he fucking won't even want to be like us. We're going to put him in a fucking LD culture. now he doing something to ruin his life because somebody made him feel like no one loved him so he did something wrong out of spite because no one loved him that's what he felt so we could save but he was cold on the court though I know that we could have saved him to make him feel like you're not weird you're not a dickhead you're not an all ball man you're special you got energy because you got passion towards something that a lot of people don't so let's use this energy to the right way so you don't put yourself in a position where you wanted and you can't be around your close friend Theo now.
1:17:33You know what I mean? You can enjoy their life. You know what I mean? So it's like let's not be quick to shut down on the things that people doing that we already comfortable with. Well, because think about this, AB. If you had when people who said something that was crazy, right, at first people said that guy is crazy, right? Exactly. People said that motherfucker is crazy, right? Don't write him off, kick him to the car. Write him off, right? Even if you look at Robert Kennedy Jr., I don't care if you like Bobby Kennedy or not. He was a friend of mine before I knew that he was going to run for politics.
1:18:05We were friends. I saw him as a reliable, honest friend. Then he started running for politics, and he was talking about the vaccines and shit. People said, he's fucking crazy. People that knew him, mutual friends. He's crazy. Then he made it past I'm crazy to getting half of the people to believe him. you know? Well, that's a part of the journey. But that's how everybody's done that. Like, everybody who ever said anything that was important started off by saying it was unimportant. It was not considered of value. It was uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable. That's what I'm saying. Kanye West, you seen what his financial statement say?
1:18:41Uh-uh. How's he doing? 2.7 billion. Pull up Kanye. Pull up Ye. Pull him up, man. Pull up Ye. Have you seen him recently? Yeah, he's in China right now. He live out in China. Oh, wow. Yeah. Pull up Ye. Look. What'd it say the network is? with the network on him. In 2025, Ye's network staying at 2.77 billion. Yes. That's confirmed by Eton Venture Services based on his music portfolio and his sole ownership of the EG Mark. Kanye West, the only black guy ever give me$2 million. He gave you$2 million? $2 million. For what were we all doing? Oh, you had Donda, right? Yeah, just like, yo, AB, how much money?
1:19:17He was like, yo, how much money you want from me? To pull up in a support? No, just like the runner brand, just like, yo. Is that Donda what you're wearing right now? This Kodak Black right now, Kodak got my Donda piece, but this Kodak, this is my new SG chain I just got from Kodak. But yeah. Wow, that's cool. I got the Donda piece. I got that and the new chain. Did he make it himself? Yeah, he had Icebox make it. Wow. Yeah. So like, you can think about a guy like that. He said something that was uncomfortable. Right. Remember? And what they called him? They called him. They wrote him off. They did him just like they did your friend.
1:19:47The media cooked him. But guess what? I feel like black people were so used to being cooked and during the cook that you just, you know what I'm saying, it's kind of like a part of the history of being cooked. Put us on the grill, bitch. Let's see. Let's cook. Let's see what happens when things heat up. Yeah. Let's see what happens when things heat up. Exactly. So you just overcome the pressure a little bit more. You know what I'm saying? A little bit more with diamonds. You overcome the pressure because you're used to the pressure. Right. You know what I'm saying? People said Kanye was crazy.
1:20:16He take Lexapro. He take this. He on drugs. he had problems with it he's going crazy about his kids it's like no we're raising emphasis on how our families are important it is I can't believe in marriage you believe in you feel me businesses or pioneering culture when I see you like I have black friends now that have like children and their households are way different than the households of my friends that were black when I was a kid you know it's a different it's not in poverty it's like oh wow it's like more of like yeah it's crazy But you seen Trump just go through it a little bit. Assassination.
1:20:51Court system. Everything. Public news. Shame. And that bronze. I'm surprised he didn't go full dark on that bronze one day and just pull up. Right? And just go crazy. He the president. He can hit a button and wipe everyone out. He handled it with class. Just like all the black guys. Like Kanye. Show up. He showed up. He didn't run from it. He didn't take himself out. He didn't crash out. He didn't give out. He didn't give in. Well, he went to China, but maybe he just didn't. He liked being there better. He got a new wife, man. He's happy. He don't want to deal with it. Yeah. He's married. At a certain point, I wouldn't want to deal with it.
1:21:23Especially at a certain point, the media. I want to be happy. The media, every time you turn around, it's almost like they're trying to make you crazy. Yeah. They're trying to bring you down. Why you never... We just seen the guy's worth 2.7 billion. We should be throwing pep rallies. Yeah. We should be throwing freaking niggerism parties for Kanye West. A guy that broke his jar in the fucking crabs. The guy that gave so many people opportunities. making beats, producing to turn rapper, to signing people and giving and giving and giving to just be constant, broke down. Well, I think it's, I do find it interesting in entertainment that I feel like all the black artists should be represented by black agents and managers.
1:22:02That's one thing I feel like I don't see a lot. But then also, what do I know about anything? If you got a black guy - Is that crazy to say that, you think? No, I feel like you should have the guy that's gonna get you the best opportunity that's gonna rep the brand and make you feel comfortable. because think about it. It doesn't have to be a black guy, huh? It doesn't matter who it is. It could be a purple guy, pink guy, as long as you get your well-being for where you go and get the deal. Gang, gang. And most of the times, they're going to talk to a white guy. Right. Who's working for the company that's going to give you the money.
1:22:29So it's rather be a guy who look like him to broker the deal. It'd be probably easier for him to talk to him. Yeah. Right or wrong? Yeah, you're right. Because who's the guy in the NFL who owns the team? White guy. Exactly. Every team, huh? Every team. Wow. Exactly. So who also own the networks that you're speaking on, we're representing? Different, select people. You know what I'm saying? Select the people. Select people. Certain people. Certain people. But the majority, you know what I'm saying? In life, you did this do as right to benefit you. It's not, you got to get something that life manages to do with the people that's going to be genuine and got your back, no matter what color it is.
1:23:08Oh, yeah, man. I talked to my friend Stan the other day. probably my closest black friend man we have some real important conversations sometimes where you just feel like unconditional support from my friend no matter what I know you call your channel CTESPN who came up with that? was it you? yeah it was me because I feel like people wrote me off when I walked off the field like he's crazy a lot of people thought he was crazy and a lot of other people took their shirts off and left their jobs you ever see all those videos? I didn't see that. It was a 30 video. They had like 30 videos. Hey, listen, I'm not a quitter now.
1:23:45Just don't give up your fucking day job. I built up a lot of wealth to fucking sit on when I left out. Yeah, when I left, I was getting into a Lamborghini, so that's a little different. That's a little different leave out. Did you feel, but did you have an actual like mental, did you have CT, you think? Like, did you ever feel it? I feel like CT is a trauma when the NFL just, you know, being a football player you gotta go through trauma but it's like you know you prepare your body to endure the trauma right i lift weights you know physical therapy mental therapy i manifest the goal you know i'm saying so you do all the mental clarity things that you gotta do to be well off you know what i mean take therapy do all the well-being things you need to do to be a functional human right family a godly man spiritual so i feel like when people don't understand you or just like why would make them lead the field for millions of dollars that's what they try to say with football players but cte is a real thing that they determine when people pass away there's been a lot of players football players that died over the course of years that they just you know just write them off like they had cte but we all have trauma and cte is a trauma that we all endure like you said you how you grew up dealing with trauma we like life is a trauma yeah life is not perfect for no but only person had it jesus walked the earth and then have He was the only one living life perfect, but his life was evolved to traumas.
1:25:07They killed him in this earth as an example. So like our lives. That's a good point, man. You know what I mean? Life is a lot of trauma. Life is all trauma, bro. Sometimes your fucking back hurt, your knee hurt, you sore. But that's what life's about. Our bodies is not going to last forever. Your mind is not going to last forever. We all got a due date to die. So when you think about life in the aspect of the reality, it's like, yo, I'm not crazy. I just walked off to put myself in a better opportunity. You just may not understand it and just thought it was crazy because you putting yourself in my shoes.
1:25:36Oh, fuck no. I've left work early many times, baby. You know what I'm saying? I'll get like. My job was on TV and now they're making on the news. It just happened to be one of them days. But as a normal human, we all had these days. This is normal shit. You done left your job, you feel me? We leave it early today, boy. No bullshit. So it's just like, man. That's it, dude. So you never got actually diagnosed, though, in CTE? Nah, man. People can't even die. I know CT. That's why I started CTSPN to talk to people about their traumas and how they deal with their traumas and cope with their traumas, overcoming adversity.
1:26:11Because I feel like being a great football player or being a great person in any form of life, you had to endure a lot of adversity. Like, tell me some of the things that you went through as a kid, how you was raised. You told me one of your traumas. You said, man, I always feel like a connection with a black person. You know what I'm saying? That was probably a trauma because that's something as a kid you may have had to hold I felt unseen. That's what I felt like. I felt like nobody saw me. And so I think that that was something sometimes I could, when I would see how maybe black people were looked at or treated sometimes or some of just how they even treated themselves sometimes, you know, I would like notice just little things sometimes.
1:26:48As I became an adult, I could relate to little things. I'm not saying I could relate to any of their history or anything like that, but I'm just saying there were little things I could relate to. Like, man, now I can see why I gravitated towards some of these kids because I didn't feel seen. I didn't feel like anybody saw me. And if they did see me, I felt like they thought I was fucking nothing. And so there were little things like that sometimes that I don't make it, maybe you could think about. I don't know. I'm not trying to make a black culture about me though. No, but listen, but that's why I started CTSBN so people could talk through their traumas, cope with their traumas, understand how to deal with it because I had to learn how to deal with my traumas to put myself together and be able to be in the position I'm in.
1:27:27Because that's a part of life. Life's about how you overcome adversity How you deal with adversity And how you overcome your situation I'm sure you've been through a lot in your life And that's why I started CTSPN To show high level athletes and high level people What are the things that made them great What are the things they had to go through Because we all went through some You could have been raised with one parent Maybe you just never seen your dad Maybe you were just artistic You liked the computer You never played outside So you just You know It could be You may have been raised with a sick sibling Anything thing but everybody got some type of trauma they're facing maybe you're not tall enough and you can't pursue that dream you want it could be any little thing as a human that we're facing and we all facing some trauma so that's why i started ctsb and so i could talk to people from their traumas what's your adversity how you overcome it what was the bridge point okay how do you get through that and people can see when they're watching the video of okay i'm talking to theo von okay how the fuck deal one overcame that situation like how did he get in that position because i feel like because is it a weekly show ctspn i feel like i need to do more weekly i feel like i just be usually i see what you're saying randomly talking to people about their traumas when i see you know i mean because sometimes it's a lot to talk to people about their traumas because a lot of people hide their traumas oh yeah you know what i mean a lot of people not like you become ashamed of and becomes like of course but it's like we can't be ashamed of the uncomfortable because that's the The only way we get better is to dress the uncomfortable.
1:28:53Then the mental health facility, the therapist. You've been to all that? Yeah, because that's a part of recovering and getting a little bit of your better self. So how long, when you had to go to a mental health facility, how long you had to go for? Just, yeah. Six weeks? Two weeks. Oh, that ain't too bad. Yeah. Was it nice in there or not? Yeah, it was in Colorado. Colorado Springs right there. Psychological, you get to thinking. Man, life's about looking at your life. Not the lodge. It's called the lodge. The lodge, exactly. That's where you went? Exactly. yeah it's nice there it's beautiful bro it's a whole facility spa, gym everything just find yourself because it's like in life if we could just save ourselves from the moment like your friend before we just get to that point where it's like damn you know what I mean free Brian bro free Purvis bro you know what I'm saying bring him back out it's like most of the time it's like yo in life you know what I learned Theo in life it's better to be happy than to be right you know what I mean sometimes people get so much trauma in their life that's from Asian culture They get so much trauma Like your friend has so much trauma For people treating them wrong Treating them wrong Like he felt that it was the right thing to do Probably just do the wrong thing Yeah Oh I'm sure man You know what I'm saying Yeah like the only thing Somehow I'm gonna show you to fucking see me And if it's gonna have to be a crime It's gonna have to be Whatever it needs to be You're gonna be seeing me to get that look You're gonna see me motherfucker You're gonna see me somehow right Exactly I'm not calling you mother I'm just saying But that's the attitude they take As a human You know what I mean You take that on your own And it's like yo bro ask your friend out was that really happening right is that really happening and sometimes though the pain somebody I believe is feeling ain't even their pain it's from another generation man so you have somebody out here expressing a pain that's just been stuck in their DNA because the DNA has to be even at the end of the line God made it all even and so I believe it has to find a way to even out because nature's a pretty even lady and that's what about the lodge and therapy and CTSPN it's about understanding your trauma realizing it.
1:30:52What is CT? Bring it up. I just want to have a clear idea because I always say it all the time and I have no idea what it is. It's the new crazy. It's like the new what you don't understand. But it's really like a head trauma that the NFL diagnosed that players die by that they can't find out until you die. So they can't find out until you die. Chronic traumatic
1:31:12encephalopathy. Yeah, but it's like, yo, you already got that shit if you're hitting so much, right? You a football player, we banging every day. So it's like... It's a brain disease that worsens over time and can lead to dementia. It's caused by repeated blows to the head, such as concussions that damage brain tissue. CTE can affect anyone who has experienced repetitive head trauma, including athletes, military veterans, and first responders. So do you have to get a diagnosis? Did you get a brain scan done? I mean, I got a lot of brain. Dang. I feel like, yo, this is just like some of the, like, the, just.
1:31:47Think about it. Think about it. anything. Okay, sorry. I'm sorry I'm interrupting you. Playing football, you got to understand, Vaughn, you're signing up to fucking bang out. Right. Like before you even, you playing the NFL, you're lifting weights. When they're hitting you, they're hitting you to hurt you. Like if they hit a guy like you, Theo Vaughn, if they knock you out on the field, they're going viral. They're going on TV. They might get a job pay raise. Wow. So it's preeminent for alpha males to just lift weights and hit hard to bang out. So you know, before you sign up, right if you saw me to the zoo you got you know him but you don't know you got to be animal of course so it's like okay after you done being the animal and you realize being the animal just was for a short time that is not realistic it's just a part of your life right it's a kid game that you made your life and you feel like you realize you get 30 something like yo i don't got that much fucking college on my knees these shit there's only a thin line of college right that you got You ain't going to be able to run forever.
1:32:48You know what I'm saying? So you realize the real things of being an athlete. The future. You're just a number. Was there an athlete that you saw? Was there a receiver or an athlete that you saw one time that really brought it to your attention? Wow. The physical, the long-term effects of the physicalness of this? Nah, I feel like you always understand as a player, is it going to be physical? But I feel like it's up to you to play the game smart and put yourself in position. Right. It's like your craft. I'm a football player. I'm a receiver. I know how to run the routes on you with the timing and the precision and make sure I don't get hit.
1:33:17Was there a season that you could have showed up for better, like, in yourself? Like, you just had too much going on in your own life? I always showed up. You did? Yeah, that was my life. My life is my football. Like, yo, if I don't play good, I don't get treated good. Who do you miss catching passes from the most? Probably Big Ben. Really? Yeah, Big Ben. Probably Tom Brady, too. I mean, I caught some passes. I mean, I'm really grateful to be out of play with some of the best quarterbacks. You did get to. That was a blessing. You know what I mean? That was a super blessing, man. Being a good receiver depends on the quarterback.
1:33:48Yeah, totally. You're only as good as your quarterback. And, man, I was blessed to play with none but championship quarterbacks, you know, Big Ben and Tom Brady. It's kind of wild when you see guys that leave a team to go to a team that doesn't have a great quarterback just for the money. But I guess that's part of it, huh? Nah, it's a bad decision. You about to ask Tyree Hill. Yeah, huh? He tried to be a cheater, man. He should have stayed. He fucking Patrick Mahomes going to the Super Bowl. You in fucking Miami? No, you are in Miami. It's nice. It's not nice in Miami. It's not. You come to Miami after your career when you're ready for vacation.
1:34:20Miami is a vacation. You don't want to be down there with all this party scene and BBLs everywhere. It's a distraction, man. You need to play in Kansas City. It's cold. And you focus on football. Damn. You know you're going to win. What's BBLs mean? You want to know where the BBL is? I know. I hear the term all the time. What is it? Bring it up. You never had no BBL? I don't know if I have or not. I want to see what it is. Brazilian butt lift. Oh, okay. And they go to Brazil to get it? Oh, Theo ain't got no ass. You ain't got no chicks with no ass on, Theo. I don't know. How much is it? You got to buy a new ass.
1:34:55It probably costs like 15 bands, depending on what size you want. Zoom in on that one on the right. Zoom in on that. You like that ass, huh? That's the ass of the day. Hey, let's go, boy. That's the crack of the day. That's the crack. Damn. She's fucking cracking her booty crack. That's Brazilian, huh? That's wild. That's a new ass. You got to get your bitch a new ass when they've been hit. Oh, God. That's crazy. I'll get her an SUV maybe if we're married or whatever. But what about this? Whoa, whoa. What's this thing going on? That's funnel cake. That's that funnel cake. That's that. Right there.
1:35:33Dead ass. Literally, bro. god that's a Birmingham butt lift she got that bitch down in fucking central Alabama that thing fucking lopsided bro dang double cheeky huh no cheeky you get that skinny BBL it depends on what you know like what you know what you arrange how you want to open your hips I don't know I don't want to need that somewhere it's like if it's too much I don't want to fuck something that's fucking back. You don't want the Jell-O? I don't know if I can handle it, man. I might swerve hit that corner. You know what I'm saying, bro? Oh, shit. What do you think about that new Jell-O song?
1:36:19You know what, man? At first, I was like, the main bar is good. But then I was like, I don't know. But then I was listening to it yesterday a couple extra times, and I did. I felt like. You got one? Yeah. It's just like, I think it's, yeah. I liked it. I liked it. It sounded like an old 90s song, right? It does a little bit. And it makes you feel like anybody could like it. Almost like somebody from 15 to 50. Yeah, you could take that in. Shout out to Jell-O athletes being rappers, man. That's pretty cool. It is cool, man. And I really like his brother played for the Pelicans for a while. Yeah, his brother's ballers, man.
1:36:55It's good to see all his brothers. It is cool to see three brothers get to do something together. Yeah, three brothers do something special. That's exciting, you know? Yeah. And they had Zion Williamson down there. He fucking... Yeah, that kid got bungees. Yeah, that guy, they're so exciting to play. But now that Zion's in, how are they in their last 10 games, Pelicans? Look at their last 10 games, man. Zion, carry these guys. They're going to be as good as he want to be. He just misses a lot. They got to take care of him a little better. Oh, yeah. He got to take care of himself, too. I think so.
1:37:23But then also, you know what? I'm just judging. I don't really know. Nah, I feel like they got to take care of him, too. And it's on him, too. It's like, yo, it's a collaboration, you know what I'm saying? It's a combination because it's like if the Pelicans are going to be great, they got to go with Zion. If Zion go down, they go down. That's a good point. So it's like. How do you figure it out? How do you make it all work? Y 'all got to. How do you make it all work? You got to bring your king to the puzzle, man. You can't have your guy. You're right. I think I'm just a little angry at him as a fan.
1:37:49No, no. He's a professional. I feel like I expect more out of him too because he got so much ability. It's like it's so much more in there. Yes. And time goes fast. Time ticks, man. You think it's not going to tick. I feel like we just got to get them. They got to build them up. What about when Le 'Veon left? Was that weird when he left Pittsburgh? Man, I took the heart out of the soul of the team. Le 'Veon Bell, one of my close friends, is like, man. Why was his energy? He was like the team. People loved him, huh? Man, especially when Steelers is known for the running backs. Oh, yeah. Jerome Bettis, they love him.
1:38:17Le 'Veon Bell is one of those guys. Willie Wheels Parker. Willie Parker, breaking long runs. 70 yards. He's a smoking guy. Bro, he didn't get enough acclaim, man. He was a great player, man. And Will Day-Moore, we had always good running backs on the Steelers. Will Day-Moore out of Tulane, wasn't he? Yeah, Tulane, right from New Orleans. Come on, let's go. You know your history. Let's go. We had a lot of running backs. Isaac Redman, we had a lot of good guys, man, from the Steelers. The bus. Franco Harris. Franco Harris. Yeah, legendary guy. A lot of history over there. Jerry Olszewski, he was an offensive lineman.
1:38:47It was just so sad because it's like, yo, Le 'Veon, one of the guys we drafted, one of the guys you just, you know, he was a hard Steeler guy. He was so special. and it was like damn it was like money stopped us from our goals it's like damn y 'all can't come there you know that's what I mean by both sides of people of a culture even the team I feel like once the old linemen in the team went to like joking them online cause they was fairly in freaking trauma it's like yo we need him but it's like how he feel like he don't need us so now they're like yo it's like fuck you fuck you it's like man as people we gotta make the uncomfortable comfortable and looking back it's like yo that could have maybe won his championship.
1:39:27Couple championships. You know what I mean? Just if we had the courage to fucking go get Le 'Veon bro. But what about do you think agents sometimes ruin the possibility for there to be a... I feel like a lot of different people in your corner you know telling you you know what I mean building you up on what they think you deserve and what's best for you and not seeing the bigger picture and I feel like you know that's a part of life. You know sometimes in life if you don't act on the opportunity you could miss it. thinking it was positive for you and maybe it wasn't and it's like you know life goes on no matter who you is so it's like yeah i don't take my life for granted man i just in that moment with levy i just wish we could have did because it would have been awesome if it did happen it's like yo it was like what could have it's like what could have and it's like we don't want to never be living in that realm of what we could have done when we had every opportunity to do it you know what I mean it was like that was some special moments man we was who you got in the Super Bowl man who you got in the Super Bowl gotta go to Kansas City it was like how you go against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey for a 3P yeah I think also I want to see it now because now we seeing another level of greatness yeah and another level of like specialness shout out to Andy Reid for fucking just knowing how to do it it's true huh hell yeah dude I saw you had the tweet that today was so good he looked like Darlene from fucking Roseanne, bro.
1:40:51That shit was... That shit was hysterical? That's just funny. It was hysterical, yeah. Bro, we got the best X app, bro. I only like my X app and my Xbox. Because you can say what you want. X app and Xbox. Yeah. And ex-girlfriend. Sometimes. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, sometimes. But this is so true. Remember when my homies played Darlene on Roseanne? Nah, he definitely... That's his twin right there. That's not his face, Sunil. You're too cold, man. I'm like, he's drinking with an assassin. do you just does somebody do you also have somebody else writing stuff for you or is it just you yeah it's a combination me and my guy Jacob Jacob is oh that I met here yeah Jacob it's me and him come out wow he's fucking that's savvy bro he's fucking the savage he's a savage that's savvy dude yeah are there some players that you're still tight with and is there a player of course yeah yeah man I got a lot of great players Le 'Veon Bell one of my closest friends still he came with me on the Trump campaign Mike Wallace one of my close friends under the radar They done played with me for a long time.
1:41:51Plexico Bar is one of my long time. OGs played with me in 2013. You know what I mean? Helped me like, yo, man, move your split. Little tip biz. He showed me was just working the outside receiver, how to play with the split so people not understanding the routes and knowing what I was doing so I could just run different routes from different angles so they wouldn't see it. Just little things that helped me be great. You know what I mean? Deion Sanders was always a pioneer in my corner. you know when I walked even when I came back to play with Tom Brady just the whole process and that you know Tom Brady was always a prime factor even though I joked him and shit you know being in the Turner he always was one of my friends because he's a pretty stand up guy always stand up you know what I mean you always remember those people in the darkest time who was there for you you know what I'm saying who wrote for you you know what I mean I knew when I went to the Raiders went to the Patriots with him had a star stint I think he got to know like damn he'd be really a smart working hard guy with you know what I mean a lot of energy and the good you know where I'm in the guy because you could you know come into football team you're gonna learn a lot by a guy one is he in shape could he understand could he know what to do you know what I mean I feel like I built that camaraderie was just showing him for that week of work just like damn yeah you know what I mean he brought me back out there year off we won the Super Bowl that's heavy you know what I mean that's big you know what I mean and it was it was just amazing to know that we could do like we could go plan something that we set out to do and do it.
1:43:19Do you think Belichick is as good without Brady or it's just in the end it's all just a matter of pieces. No one is in the NFL as good without a quarterback. Tom Brady's don't come around. You never find a guy who just got overlooked and he just fucking turns Superman and just fucking wipe your ass out for 20 plus years. You know what I'm saying? Because not a lot of people get that trauma. You know what I'm saying? Like Tom Brady he had trauma. Right, something inside of him or inside of his father, grandparent, and his DNA. Some in his heart that was like, some in his balls. Wanted to cook. That was fucking ready to go and not fucking off the, like, some shit you never see again.
1:44:00Even him as an analyst, I'm loving him as an analyst because he gives you different, he gives you different insights that you never would have heard. He said the other day in one of the games, he said that, oh, I usually looked at how far I had to get and I averaged it usually about a second per yard, he said, when he was like, when the clock was really low or something. Whatever. That fucker live a dream football. Yeah, you could tell. It's like Drew Brees is the same way. That fucking Tom Brady's a one-on-one, trust me. I stayed at his fucking house. That kid's 42 years old, fucking breathed on the fucking treadmill the day after the game, and the fucking treadmill on incline, he got on a fucking knee sock, his fucking...
1:44:40fucking we won the Super Bowl then fucking got on got a fucking MCL the whole game he can't even wear yo he wearing jeans to practice he practicing in fucking denim jeans damn with a knee brace and he like yo one more route fucking he's always a one more guy he's never one more yo this is right here for the Super Bowl wow now he's always just the most prepared bro I never seen a guy live and sleep fucking winning football games like fucking he lose a game that fucking guy like he lost a relative like someone died. Like he lost one of his legs. Yeah, like even if you seen him it's like you don't want to see Tom at that loss.
1:45:17Yeah. It's like, yo, he's fucking driving even more like fucking hit the guys even more. It's like some shit you want to be, it's like some Navy SEAL shit. Right. That much energy. That much affection. It's like, yo, let's go out and fucking do it. Towards it. Describe, I wanted you to, some of these worst teams, I'm going to give you a name of a team and just give me a word or two to describe them. Ravens. Aggressive. Browns. Toilet Bowl. You know how to take the Cleveland. How many times you take the Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl? How many times? You understand that bar? Y 'all better dig Jim Brown up.
1:45:59I'm talking about taking a shit. Oh, damn. Cleveland Browns to the Super Bowl. That's the toilet. Because that's the only Super Bowl they're going to. The toilet. You go to the Browns. Yeah, you know where you're going. Yeah, so people know when they go in there, it's done, huh? Same shit, different toilet. You know what I'm saying? It's just a foul of shit. Oh, come on, bro. What about the Bengals? The Bengals? Yeah.
1:46:28The Bengals, I think of Pat Man Jones. Raw player, great player, but some way they're going to fuck it up. Just a fuck up. Just a knucklehead. You feel me? Like some way to Cincinnati always fuck it up. It's like Joe Burrow just look like Ellen. But I like Chase Daniels. Yeah, you like Chase Daniels? Yeah, he is. He's a backup quarterback, right? He's the running back. Oh, he is? Chase Daniels? David, what's his name? Chase. He's the number one receiver. I don't know how I know his name, but his name's Chase. He's a fucking elite. I think he was the triple crown of the league. You're talking about Jamar Chase.
1:47:07Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase. Yeah. Yeah, he was the fucking. They are. Yeah. Jamar being chased. That's for sure. I love Burrow. He had a great season. No, he did. He played like a champion, though. He did good. I just feel like. But still, the game is you got to get. No, Joe Burrow played his asshole. What about the Jets now? The Jets is the Jets. It was like just the side chick in New York, you know? Oh, damn. You know? No, I feel like all New York teams right now is just... It's hectic. Yeah, it's Milwaukee right now. It's hectic over there. What's a little bit of news that's going on, man? We got any news stories?
1:47:47Yeah, Trump said he's going to release the MLK file. Yeah, that's why I told you he's going to release the file. Yeah, we talked about that. But see, I believe that that's... Here's what I believe in that. I believe the CIA or the FBI or whatever has gone through, probably marked stuff in there to make MLK look bad, right? Of course they changed the narrative. They want to bring him down. because here's what happens is they start to, first they give you leaders, then they start to release information that brings those leaders down. And when they do that, they kill a culture. They're killing a culture, right?
1:48:15Of course. So now all the people that had him as like a role model and he may have had a different - High level guy. And a high level guy. He may have had a unique life that was filled with different things, but it didn't make him maybe a bad guy. It just took away, that's what I'm saying. Like you want to take away your culture. That's what America and Ben based on for black culture. And white culture. too man it happens now for white culture too i think it happens for all humans that's what we got to preeminate it just mostly for the blacks the black superheroes oh yeah i mean it's definitely happened more to blacks but now you're seeing where they're going and taking down like they're really the media can go and take black leaders down right i mean that's all it is is a media takedown it always that's all it's been what else we got the only person in the world after with a functioning pig organ is thriving after a record two months.
1:49:05Ooh, damn. Let's pull that up, man. Have you had any? They got a pig organ they put in somebody. This, the only person in the world with a functioning. Black person? Damn. Ooh, damn. Is it? An Alabama woman passed a major milestone Saturday to become the longest living recipient of a pig organ transplant, healthy and full of energy with her new kidney, 61 days and counting, man. That's kind of messed up, man. I feel like hiding a piece of – hiding pork inside of a black person seems fucked up, bro. Is that crazy to say? That's bad, bro. In fucking Alabama? Come on. Come on, man. That's insider trading, bro.
1:49:44You can't – that's fucking – They just turned into a pig. I mean, it's just like, man. That shit's bad walking business, bro. But a lot of people love bacon. You can't put a piece of fucking bacon inside of somebody's body. Why the fuck would she get that? That's all they had? that's a good point man see that's the kind of shit that black people been going through like hey we ain't got a regular heart yeah like some side shit we'll put this fucking side heart in you yeah they can't do them like that they gotta stop doing us like that god damn bro at least we can get a regular one they got no regular ones out there yeah at least yeah you can't that's wild yeah even if how fucking what's the source of you living like in a pig organ even give her one with the beats off a little bit that's fine you know put that remix in her but don't give her a pig heart.
1:50:29Scientists are genetically altering pigs so their organs are more human-like to address a severe shortage of transplantable human organs. Well, it's interesting. What else, man? What else have we covered? I'm trying to think of things that I wanted to cover today, man. Tiger King star Joe Exotic claims eight prison guards beat him up after one tried to force him to give oral sex in an interview with Matt King. That's Tiger King. Y 'all mess with him, this guy? Oh, shit. They're trying to take Tiger King out. They trying to get him in jail, but he in there slurping for sure, bro. He been in there.
1:51:06But, yeah, that's one thing I think is if they – I don't know what else I think, man. My brain's tired. Yours get tired sometimes? Nah, I keep going. How much pot do you smoke today, you think? That's my first two joints. Damn. Yeah, I can't. Black people are so much better at getting high, I think, man. Because you got a lot of trauma. It just helps you relax. fuck dude i got high couldn't walk four or five feet without making sure everybody's okay but i'll see black guys will play a whole basketball game on a on being high yeah you got high testosterone ready to go i don't know it was always at beyond blew my mind you just gotta slam your if you if you want to be black just slam your dick in the door it's gonna swell up and then you black you know then your energy gonna go up you feel me I don't know, bro.
1:51:55Bro, I can't take any more medical. I can't take any more suggestions from you today, bro. You're going to have me with a sore dick yelling the N-word out on the interstate. We're going viral. Yeah, we're going viral. It's a black party, bro. Oh, man. I appreciate you coming, AB, man. Thanks for having me, man. It was an honor, man, to just sit down, talk about some huge stuff, even if it was uncomfortable, just make the normalcy of just breaking bread, you know? Yeah. Yeah, I'm intrigued. What do you kind of see, like, what things you want to do in the coming future? Because it's like, I feel like at first people thought you was kind of crazy, and then now people are, like, thinking, well, you know what, that's all judgment.
1:52:34What do you want to do? What's some things you, like, do you feel like you want to achieve, you know? I just want to, you know, serve my purpose in living, you know, giving out, like, encouraging people and, you know, bridging the gap, you know, some of the stuff we've been doing on X, bringing a comedy between like bridging the gap of people and just opening people's minds of you know experiencing being and making people aware of what the traumas they face you know just being a normal person not even being a celebrity or any type of color just people as humans yeah you know what i mean going through traumas and overcoming and just bridging the gap of just raising awareness for leaders and what's one of your biggest regrets you've had over the years if you have one shit uh my biggest regret probably was just like not throwing a wedding for myself you know i feel like so many people fuck me over and do so much bad parties i might well just go to the altar with myself and celebrate myself that much huh yeah you know what i'm saying because i feel like life is about living and i feel like you gotta love yourself and being a black person you experience so much trauma with some of the people writing you down, changing the narrative, character bringing you down.
1:53:47So it's like you got to keep enough sanity and not enough, you know what I mean, enthusiasm to just be encouraged and have the confidence because not everybody can overcome with people writing them all, killing their character, bringing them down, making them feel a certain way. It's like a strong individual to be able to, you know, overcome that. So I feel like just continue to raise an awareness, talking to people like yourself, high level people that you know bridging the gap which is raising conversation that inspire the youth and the world you know just spreading the light you know i think i accomplished a lot of things in my life in a short time and i feel like now it's just being that inspiration as a human the highest thing you could do is inspire so just inspire people raising conversations yeah inspiring people bringing smiles and bringing people together you do that i mean definitely yeah i think you really seem like an interesting guy i'm glad that i got to uh get to chat with you And I do think, too, they should auction off that N-word once in a while, man.
1:54:46Maybe we have that little auction, man. Because think about it. Maybe we had a nigga awards and then just maybe change the name word. I know you hate the word, but it's like it's a part of history. The word only gives. Yo, we need to create a new dictionary. Well, we'll sit in the back this time if y 'all do have it. How about that? No, you got to be in the front line. That's going to cause a lot of controversy, dude. We're going to build it up. We're going to throw out the teachers, get the commercials. We're going to make sure. We're going to free Brian Purvis, let him give one out. Yeah, we're going to talk to Brian Purry on the CTSPN and talk about some of his traumas.
1:55:14What did he learn and what he had in his life now. And why he went to black culture to feel comfortable, too. Because I think that's an interesting thing. I feel like that's what embracing it. Probably how he grew up made him feel like he was one of the gods. Because imagine when people, your own people, when your own people treat you like shit, you feel like black people. Because all our people know is to be treated like shit. So it's like, yo, we're going to treat you like shit. So it's like until you break the culture of shit and making people understand. It's okay to be of the not normal, but still have that love to still build them in the right way.
1:55:44So you don't turn the right wrong way or do the wrong thing. You know, we got to save people. And if they had like a thing safe, like, you know, tonight, bro, right? 9.30 p.m. Macaulay Culkin is doing an N-word, bro. That's comedy. From home alone. You telling me how many people would pay to stream that? Man, they going to love that. And then you give the money to. We donate to the organizations, the black community. Exactly. we make it beneficial man we know everything we do with positive intent to bring people together we're gonna get a lot of hate for even thinking about that but I could I feel like we can't worry about the hate I feel like in life okay you're right cause sometimes the hate come and after the hate come rewards look at yay yeah after the hate 2.7 billion right you know what I'm saying after the hate come the love I feel like if you're not getting hate then you're not raising the comfort you gotta be uncomfortable right you're right you have to be uncomfortable to get comfortable right just how you feel uncomfortable about it is that we gotta find the resource to make you comfortable and we found the resource okay let's do it like this we're gonna give back to the black communities so now we're not just saying this and the talk are ready to be funny we got a real resource behind this and we're bringing people together oh yeah because this is a natural thing it's not like people haven't said this or little kids i told you tom brady's son's been to like yo you think about the word i had the tom's they had to explain them in the word i was like yo man i think it's not in the 50s what people use is that it's not slaves no more you know i'm saying it's like it's the normalcy of black families being rich and living upon the same culture of generational wealth yeah and building that up and seeing what the future that's like in the universe you know exactly i mean i'm just a wit i'm just a bystander and and all of that um but yeah i think that would be it would be really interesting to see uh if that was a way to raise some money but that also might be really crazy.
1:57:34I think we're talking at the X-Hap right now, we was thinking maybe like the Cracker Olympics, but there was like, we maybe could, maybe call it the ABC Olympics. ABC in the seats for Cracker? Yeah. Yeah. You know what I mean? That way it's not like a, that's why everybody could feel comfortable because now we're not trying to, trying to promote comfortability. And you, dude, a lot of good Crackers ain't getting it. They, they want, it's, you want to be, everybody likes a little bit of shine, you know? Everybody deserves shine.
