Speaker 3 (06:11):
That And I'm like you that that's not that's not
the voice side.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I was not expected that because I want you to
dug fucking dragon ball cartoons. That's right, it's not weird, bro,
And you sound like pickle up. But like I said,
we got kareem in the building, you know from subway tanks.
Keep the meat running beautiful, you know what I'm saying. Peace,
we should be on television. It's a shame that it's not.
I'm just saying, you know what I mean. And also
the illustrious bands, tiny gun hell, you know what I mean.

(06:38):
The most importantly, my guy, you are a dad.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
You know what I'm saying, My father by you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
And uh good, just list here, but of a good topic,
all right.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
So the White House has said that they're trying to
get women to get to have more children. One of
them is should that they want to do is give
them five thousand dollars. So we have been this go
some different topics to try to make women give birth.
You have any ideas five thousand, That's what.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I said. I was like, Bro, when when you see
that break have you seen like the bill itemized breakdown
of like your child's birth? No, have you seen that?

Speaker 5 (07:14):
Bro? I'm on medicare. Don't let that look like I
want thanks for the birth.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Sam. It's like fifty court more than like a fully
loaded camera, like it's c with the G Masters, the
g Master lenses. Bro, it's cool.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
No, it's not. It's not doable. It's not doable, especially.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
In New York.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Honestly, regular old socialism stuff some free free, free childcare,
free healthcare, free college. That's enough to make people want babies.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Yeah, it's almost as if you make the situation livable,
people want to continue their limits.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
That's crazy.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
Won't give me the same stuff Eveland has or whatever?
You know what I would I s Finland to have it.
I think it's basic. Three basic things. Maternity leave, childcare, healthcare,
Like there's no reason that anyone in the US should
be afraid to not to go to the doctor. Like
I'm afraid to go that. I haven't been to the
dentist in probably three years, but I flyst now the
same I've been flossing.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I just started. I got water? Is it now? It's
crazy though brand new you've been flausing.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
See I was up on that wave before motherfuckers really
got on it.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
What I'm saying, I just want people to know it's
never too late to start. Like I started when I
was thirty eight. Same, you know, I got a lot
of cavities had. But they like they make they always
make flossing. When you go to the dentists, like it's
like they're like, you should do it. Apparently it's mandatory. Yeah,
they do, right. They never say you should fly. They're

(08:58):
just kind of like you. They're like, are you flossy?
And you go now, and they go you should start.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
You should.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
But if you don't brush your teeth, they're like, fuck, dude,
you your teeth are gonna fall out? What do you Yeah,
what do you do have to brush them? The flossing
is optional, they should make it mandatory.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
No, they need to.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Grab you by the collar and go listen to me.
What the fucker if you don't start flushing immediately.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
They need to make it as important as like not smoking.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah you know because I used to.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Get cavities in between my teeth. Oh because I was brushing.
But yeah, anyways, back to the back to the subject matter,
back to the subject to the babies. I think just
basic stuff. I mean, the five thousand dollars is like,
what's that enough for? That's one month of childcare?

Speaker 6 (09:39):
Are you? Literally they carried into almost like two to
four thousand dollars a month. It's not me, they and
the US.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
Is the mostly we'll pay for one month.

Speaker 8 (09:49):
When you do the deals like yo, listen, I don't
want to I don't want to scar you.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
But it's like the car dealer ships.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
Bro, it's like major one like yo, we'll make your
first three payments.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yeah yeah, and then you have a car that you're
paying for this hons in make twenty two thousand dollars
a month interest.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
Like bro, what that's how you know?

Speaker 7 (10:05):
Me in a recession because like we're no longer going
half on babies now we're going half on the medical bill.
Like yo, come on man, Like I was thinking, we
have a new day.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
You know what I'm saying, listen, you go to the
food bank, right, we get the little frozen apricots, we
go sit in the park, enjoy those. Then we schedule
a physical together, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
And then we split this. You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
We splitting expenses. You know, imagine rolling your girl into
like the like you know what I mean, like delivery
rule and ship and you're like, yo, listen, I got
the anesthesiologist, you got the epidul role, like, you gotta
have that.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
But I'm not paying for that, paying for that unless
I can get a little fan just a little.

Speaker 9 (10:45):
Bit, just the same.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
They should give the data a little bit, a little
bit of seriously alluded something nice. The button feels.

Speaker 1 (10:54):

twenty twenty rul. You know what I'm saying. Hire a

Speaker 1 (15:08):
There's a bag from the bulletproot messige.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
You want to send me somewhere you know, dangerous.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
So the energy and the experience working there, I feel
like we're already talking about it. It was a wild time. Yeah,
it was very loose because I worked the other networks before,
but it didn't feel like that because that ship was
like so, I mean, I know what it was like
for me, What was it like for you? Because I
know working there as like you know, I work in

(15:33):
marketing or accounting whatever. It was different than being talent
because yo, actually Bronson was running a monk in there.
Bro was in there, bringing livestock in riding many motorcycles,
running lobby and ship like. Yeah, talking about the difference
between being like talent advice versus like, I mean, marketing
was the same way.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Like I saw, I was fresh off the boat from Minnesota,
arrived in New York wearing wearing a suit every day.
Little you know, little will be now that I would
be doing that in the future. But I was in
a suit every day. I was like, I need to
get a job. Literally, I came. I came with one
bag like. I was like, oh, my dad moved from
from Egypt to Minnesota. I'm gonna do the same thing
that he did, except so I had like full culture shop.

(16:11):
I was like a little Midwestern boy, come with a suit.
Went to my Vice interview. I didn't even know what
it was. My friend was just like, you should up advice.
I go, Okaydvice dot com. I see like a bunch
of porn on there. I go, this sounds good. I
was like, am I working at a porn site? Like
what is this? This is like naked like photos of
naked people. And I was like, I think this is
a porn site. I don't really get it. And then
they hired me immediately on the spot. It was a Thursday.

(16:32):
They go, you start Monday. I go, sounds good. You
bring your own laptop.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
They literally did. It's that we don't have laptops.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
For a matter of fact, we don't have a desk,
so they just gave me a chair and I sat
on my laptop like this one of those guys, it's
ten guys. Yeah, dude, we had noble desks, so you
had the laptop like this year or something else. And
it just became very apparent to me that in marketing,

(16:59):
no one knew they were doing either. Every It was
like it was like it was like the movie fucking
Captain Phillips. What's that guy's name to that Captain Phillips?
Is that Captain Phillips? It was like that I have
the Captain, Yeah, except we were all some Ali pirates
and and there was no one new. We were like
we're driving the boat. People will come in and say like,
why isn't why aren't they numbers goodn't?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I don't know?

Speaker 5 (17:20):
And then another guy me neither, and that.

Speaker 3 (17:22):
No hostages everyone.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
And then they'd just be like by views, I've been
all right whatever, I don't and then I don't know
how to do that. And I look at the guy
next way, I go, you know how to buy few?
He'd be like, no, i's that guy. Don't you know
how to buy?

Speaker 8 (17:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (17:37):
Just do this, Like okay, sounds good. But it was
just it was it was mayhem and and I remember
the first, like one of my first assignments. They were like,
all right, we have this campaign with Intel and Vice.
I'm probably going to jail after this.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Nags like we got admitted.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
So they're they're like, yeah, we need to do like
a media buy for this campaign that we're doing with
Intel Advice. And I go, okay, cool, what's the media
by My boss goes he's kind of like, yes, just
buy media. I go okay, okay, I'll buy media. And
I was like, but where He's like, I don't know.
Other publications.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
He goes other publications that you think are cool. I go,
all right, Goka is cool. I actually like Goker at
the time, So I was like, do I just call him?
He was like, yeah, I call them, which is insane.
So I picked up the phone. I called Goker. I go, hey,
what's up. It's Kareem for a bias. I'm looking to
buy some media. They go for what And I'm like,
I don't know, like Intel Advice or something. They're like okay,
I'm like how much does that cost? They're like, well,
how much do you want to buy, and I was like,

(18:39):
how much do we want to buy? He's like, I
don't know, fifty thousand. I was like fifty thousand dollars.
They're like, yeah, we'll send you an email with those
but like it made no sense, like it was literally
two pounds of media.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, media. Let me get two and a
half pounds of media.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
Then, nice, let me get a let me get a
shot a propagame.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Yeah, let me get a little Spotify premium on the side,
like Spotify premium on the side, and you know YouTube
plus or whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
That how much of the views? How much? How much
of the views?

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yeah, CPM, Okay, I don't know if that means I'll
take it.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'll take all of it. CBS. You got all them acronyms.
And there was someone that said the time bro keeping CPI,
KP I A.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
I'm like, KPI was fired. I don't know what is
the performance indicators? I don't know about that, but they
would I think it's goals they should put actually goals,
but they would just you know, it was like I
quickly learned that as long as you pretended like you
knew what you were talking about, everyone go that guy's
a genius. So step in the meetings, I have a presentation,

(19:42):
I go, I'd still like this, and I go, so
here's the plan. I go next, and I'd be like
blah blah on the next and then at the end
everyone go sounds good do.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
That, and I a half pounds of media. Are you
gonna question?

Speaker 5 (19:57):
They loved it. It was sick, but it was it
was also like, I like call it like an MBA
in media, Like I went to master I went to
business school sitting in that office because I was in
the bare room office, and Shane sat there, Eddie sat there,
Sir Roof sat there, and they were always on the phone,
probably talking about some shit that I shouldn't have been
listening to. And I make this joke because like everyone

(20:18):
in that part of the office was wearing headphones listening
to Chief Keith, and I was like, didn't like Chief
Keeth at the time. Sorry, I like him now, But
I would wear headphones. I'd robbed out again and just
listen to all the conversations. And I actually think that
that helped me learn how to like talk to like
talk business. I didn't go to business school. I don't
think those guys want to business school.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
It especially helps if you're in an environment where everybody's
let's say it was business school, everybody's just getting their
masters in failing up.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I feel like the only business experience the vice like
C suite guys had was like haggling for coke. You
know what I'm saying, Like, Yo, I got five guys.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Here, bro come on. Everything was was a haggle. Everything
was haggling for coke.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Moment.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
I remember I look into the Badroom and see it
like there was so there was a room called the
bare Room and had a big stuffed bear in it,
and it was a glass conference room and the whole
office could see into it. So like Rupert Murdock would
come in and like sit in the bare room. And
I think it was kind of like the North Korea,
where like they pretend to work, like like like they
were like Ruper come in the bedroom and watch all
these twenty year old slaves do their jobs. And we'd

(21:22):
all be in the and he'd be like, wow, cool operation.
We would all just be there clicking, just like like
in North Korea. You just sit there like, oh, this
is our beautiful media lab lab and just like a
bunch of North Korean teenagers come yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:38):
God a crazy yeah yeah, and the one guy would
show up.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
But it's just like that's when a half pounds the
media we got last week, it's about to go bad.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
We got to use it.

Speaker 5 (21:49):
Ship and then everyone goes, oh, ship, dude, the media.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Media is going bad.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
The media is going bad, a getting mess. We need
to get news to.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Us.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
It's changed, the KPI's changed, the KPIs But it was
always like, I mean, it was crazy. It was my
first job. It was amazing, you know what I mean
it was. It was an amazing first job. I don't
think I could do it if I was older, wiser,
or not fresh off the boat for Minnesota. Like, yeah,
they got me. They got me at the right time,
because you either had to be a trustafarian and like
your parents were, you know, you made the thirty k

(22:21):
a year advice and then your parents were like, oh
yeah we got you on thirty another thirty K one
k but like we're doing matching, or you were just
so like desperate to like have something, which is where
I was that it just seemed like the deal of
a lifetime, and it was. I mean, I don't regret
a single minute do you regret it? I don't regret.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
I don't because it was just like you said, like
I learned so much shit just by rod dogging because
everybody it was. It was different because I worked at
Viacom for that and I was like Viacom felt like
Juco you know what I'm saying, because this ship was
like yo, you're on your own chance. Yeah, because the
bare room actually we turned into a studio instead of
cameras that whole ship and then did the show from there.
So it felt like all right, like I'm doing this,

(23:05):
you know what I mean. Where before it was just
like yo, just.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
Walk into a room.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
This guy's gonna make you up. You're gonna sit down. Nah.
It was like yo, we're doing this shit from like
A to Z. So I was I don't regret that
far because I felt like, Okay, now I know how
to make this.

Speaker 5 (23:18):
Shit yea, yeah, exact mean like I don't have this,
which was the pro of the place, right, they like,
if you have an idea, you.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Can just do it because yeah, nobody there was nobody watching.
It was no adults.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:25):
So back till is Belle's point, would you have had
you know, hearing your story about vice working at all that.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Now you with all.

Speaker 7 (23:34):
The success you've seen and everything you've been work working
so hard to achieve, you say it's not worth having
a baby for five thousand dollars.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
But at that time I would have several babies. Well,
it was like when Obama did the first time home
Buyer's credit. Yeah it was eight thousand dollars. I guess
what that shit worked on me. I go eight thousand
dollars to buy a house, I'll do it. I was
twenty three. Yeah, and back the houses were not they
were one hundred I got one for one hundred k.

(24:03):
And it was in Minnesota, in the hood. Like literally,
I bought a gun because it was in the hood.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
You know.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
I saw a guy the first day I toured the neighborhood.
There was a guy walking down my street and just
to prove vest and jeans and I go take I
say they had G unit soldiers and.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Know they did.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
And I was like, I was like, I'll take the
house because I'll get the eight thousand dollars and I'm
also gonna buy a forty caliber Smith and Wessons and
I did so.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Yes, I'm in.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
Liz Bell five thousand dollars job advice, Grandma Coke, no
laptop forty five Smith and Wesson.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Are you having the baby suicide?

Speaker 6 (24:43):
It's first of all motherfuckers is removing the books from schools,
bro and add in school she is.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
That's what we let it.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
So instead of focusing on bitches getting pregnant, how about
you take care of the motherfuckers that.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
Is here now a lovelives that part the baby.

Speaker 6 (24:58):
So many kids, they're not trying to protect them here
the ones that are living. You let the school shooters
go make fucking lunch. But you want you want bitches
to have kids?

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, for Koreem had to buy a gun.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
I'm just.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
That was like that was just.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
You know that old school. Yeah, you know right now.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
You can out chorge something when so what would get
you to have a baby? Done or not?

Speaker 10 (25:42):
You?

Speaker 5 (25:42):
But like, you know, how what do you think what's
a fair deal? I want to know a fair deal?

Speaker 6 (25:47):
Fair deal is you letting women give birth and not
charging them for skin to skin to hold the child
that they done fucking took nine months to create, but you.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Don't charge them.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
So, like the US is the most expensive country in
the world to give birthday. And it's also very unsafe,
especially if you're a woman, to color. Make it safe.
Actually take care of the children that you have in
this country. And yeah, let let women take care of
the children. Give that a chance to learn their children
once they do get burn, don't just send motherfuckers to
work because guess what the paperwork can be found. These

(26:19):
children gotta but that's the thing. They don't want us
to raise children.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
That's why I tell them to.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Go about the wagon though.

Speaker 6 (26:24):
Nah, it would have happened. I killed myself in the
g wag. Nah my big ass not feel.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
It's gonna be very.

Speaker 12 (26:36):
Uncomfortable amobiles, somebody, somebody one year.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
I'm not gonna go away. I'm gonna be home with
the baby.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Nothing.

Speaker 6 (26:55):
I'm gonna just be in the crib.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
No.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I'm good.

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Of ligitly like ligitly. So you out there a lot, man.
You can do interviews like this pretty frequently, you know.
I mean, this is the coolest one you ever done,
hundred percent, you know. But you've mentioned that in those interviews.
You just mentioned that for every subway takes, for every
keep the meter running, there's a project that you've worked

(27:20):
on that hasn't worked out. Is there one that you're
particularly proud of. Is there one that like you're like, yo,
this should have went.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
There's a lot. I mean there's like, there's one show
that had that was a really good idea, but it
was before people were doing shows, before people were doing
which is a thing. I like to say, a short
form unscripted vertical video content. That's that's my that's my industry.
Short form unscripted vertical video content. So before people were
doing short form on scriptive vertical video content, I had

(27:48):
a show called Stupid Studies and essentially it was like
when TikTok was popping off. It was brand new, and
I was like, oh, I'm gonna be like the Trevor
Noah of TikTok. I had this idea to be the
Trevor no of TikTok, like deliver the news like one
minute vide like one subject every day. I like was
so I was like I need to do this. I
was so committed to it that I built a studio
in my kitchen because I was like, there's no excuses

(28:09):
because because my bed was right next to my kitchen.
It was a right ground apartment, and and the bed
was right next to the kitchens. I was like, I
literally roll out of bed and walk into my studio
and make the video. There's no excuses. And I built
like I had no money, so I built like a
set out of cardboard. It was sick. All of it
was sick. And people were just like didn't understand that
you could do like a show that wasn't on YouTube

(28:32):
at the time, you know, like like YouTube was a
place for shows. Now every shows can be everywhere. So
I did like maybe ten eight episodes, eight to ten episodes,
and I was threw in the towel because it didn't
it didn't pop, But I thought it was fantastic. At
any time, I was I was ahead of my time
on that. That was no one was doing short form
on scripted vertical video concept.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Every time you say it, I'm like, he's gonna look
it up, He's gonna suck it up.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
No, because that's what I do. And I'm like, like
I was at Sandals, don't judge. That was my first
time the Sandals. But they made they make it seem
like such a good deal on the website, They're like
cost of trip eighteen thousand dollars for you five k
I was like, what, I like, tell tell my wife.
I'm like, oh shit, yeah, we're getting the twenty thousand baby,
We're going to save this.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
It was our first vacation with no baby, Like we
left the baby at home and I go, We're going
to Sandals.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's gonna be all inclusive, it's gonna be fire.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Get there and I'm like, oh, I see, it's it's
not tight. Yeah, no, it's not tight. I mean it's
it's it's really I can't. I don't have much.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
Good things to say. I think it's cold sandals because
you have to keep your sandals on the entire time.

Speaker 5 (29:37):
I think even on the beach, I think you do
you know what I'm saying, They can't be barefoot. But
the people there were that's what made it awful.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
You know.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
They were not the kind of people that you want
to be hanging around with, like on a relaxing vacation.
A lot of absolute like blacked out people and like anyway.
But you know, I was trying to have a good time.
So I got the swim out room because my wife
was like, I've never had swimming room. I was like, me, neither,
let's try it, and you know, I was like, not
that bad because of my discount, which I think they
give that discount to everyone, by the way, that that's

(30:09):
like on the website, like it's like it's like, oh,
for you friend price, but it's not the friends.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
It's like I fell for it in the case.

Speaker 5 (30:17):
But in the in the pool, I ran into these
guys that were like I was like, well, I might
as well like talk to some people and like have
a good time. Just like four extremely like white bald
headed kind of I was like, oh, they're definitely cops.
And sure enough, one of them was a cop, the
other one was a taxidermist. The other one was like
a retired something. And I was like yeah. I was like,

(30:38):
what do you guys do? And They're like, I'm a cop,
I'm a taxidermist, and I'm an accountant or something. I
was like, They're like, what do you do? I was like,
I make sure form of scripted vertical video content. And
that's when I started doing like that's when I started
doing that bit, because honestly, I was in the pool
just entertaining myself, being like they're like them talking to
me was like them talking to an alien creature, you
know what I mean. Like I was in Jamaica. I

(30:59):
don't I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (31:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
You you like, uh Dominican.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Jamaican right, like you're the lightest skin Jamaican. We see.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
I was like, I know three Kareem. Yeah, yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
Yeah, but yeah, there's I mean, there's been, there's that.
That's the one.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
That one.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
I was like, that was a good show. And then
I did this thing called the Museum of Pizza, which
I was jumping on the bandwagon of, like when experiential events.
It was right before the pandemic and everyone wanted to
go to like establishments to take photos for Instagram. I
was like, oh cool, let's do a museum of pizza.
And that was a horror story. I was almost fire Festival.

(31:46):
Oh really because my landlord, My landlord fucked me over typical.
Uh yeah, he walked me over, He funked me over,
and then ran away with my security deposit, which is
twenty thousand dollars. And then six weeks before the event
was supposed to open, he was like he ghosted. He
was just like, you can't use the room anymore, and

(32:07):
he actually booked a different event, so in six weeks
I had to reproduce the whole event find a new space.
I actually pulled up to the I was like laying
on the grass and Domino Park like and this was
during fire past one, and I was like, I'm literally
the same as this guy now, like I'm like the
pizza fief, like like I'm done, like people are gonna

(32:27):
I'm cook, my reputation's over, and I'm laying in the
grass and I'm like I can't let this happen. So
like walk, I just start walking. And I go to
the Williamville Hotel and there's this huge commercial space that's empty,
and I go, I'll just do this. I'll do it here.
And I like go to some guy. He was a
Hasidic guy, and I went to my typecast him and

(32:48):
I go, do you know who owns this building and
who rents was out? And he goes, I actually do now.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
He goes.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
His name is Jonah. He's upstairs. I shouldn't say his name,
but he goes here upstairs a lot of take you toes.
I go up there and I go, Jonah, I'll give
you one hundred thousand dollars tomorrow if you can give
me the space for the next six weeks. And Jonah goes,
I can't, and I go, why not? He goes, it's
the Sabbath. I don't work on Fridays. I go, I'll

(33:13):
throw in another ten k for you personally. He goes, okay, okay,
And so we signed the lease and then and then
I did it. But it was a very it was
a very close call. For me to not producing that
event would have been a massive failure.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
It was.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
It was actually a failing. It was a financial failure.
I lost like one hundred thousand dollars. It pulled it off,
which is all that matter.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
And shout out to Jonah's shout out, I'm.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
Wondering if the Worda's probably gonna get fired for this.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
He goes.

Speaker 5 (33:42):
He goes, I can't do the deal tomorrow. He goes,
it the Sabbath, like I don't. I don't do deals
on it. I go, I'll give you ten thousand dollars.
He goes, it sounds good.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
It was no matter why.

Speaker 7 (33:50):
Your denomination all right, no one's gonna say a good deal.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
Yeah, it was like having the baby.

Speaker 9 (33:57):
It's like.

Speaker 5 (33:59):
It was like ten k Yeah, whatever you bacon right
now for ten care, I don't.

Speaker 3 (34:05):

Speaker 1 (34:16):
But as it is, I feel like that's all it takes. Man, Like,

lot of people are just like, oh, whose name is
on it? I like this guy, this is my guy.

Speaker 5 (34:26):

It is yo. The colarnup bubble, the Corna bubble, there's
Colarna bubbles.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
Crazy people fining Coachella tickets ninety percent or seventy percent.
We would talk Coachella tickets were Clarna ship and now
you can do your burrito bowl. Yeah you see that.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
We talked about that ship on a previous episode and
it was just like, bro, where are we at as
a society? Man?

Speaker 5 (35:18):
I don't know if people are doing it for fun,
because I kind of want to do it. It's like
just to see how.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
Does this work? Like do these people legit suffer?

Speaker 1 (35:27):

Speaker 5 (35:27):
But Burrito Bowl, you should not be You should be

Speaker 1 (35:31):
That's responsible. Yeah, that's like, Yo, go to fub Bazaar,
gona thing literally, you know, but then you got to
you had a Clarna the grocery store.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
No, Yeah, I don't know that.

Speaker 7 (35:41):
The Coachella ship is very real because I was looking
at some of my mutuals out there like, oh my god,
coach Hella so fun, And I was like, I've known
you long enough to know you ain't got Coachella money.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
What's going on?

Speaker 1 (35:56):
You're having a little too much fun for y'all to
show show me coartners.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Yeah, that's watching you watching like careem.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
You guys got you.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Every time I look at my phone, I'm like, yo,
you got your hands on air?

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 6 (36:18):
Ship?

Speaker 5 (36:18):
You got that?

Speaker 9 (36:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (36:24):
This is from the medranship.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
You got the video series your piece. You got tiny gun.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
You know what I'm saying, Tiny guns donning gun is
lost leader at the moment. That's what we call it.
In business stand Up Special, new podcast the stand up.
I have a short film call Tonight Special, which is
kind of like SI paid for it by me, So
you're listening yourself so whole. So every time I make money,

(36:52):
I dump it into something that loses money. That's the
way that I do it. That's how I've always done
it like that, like yeah, because they always pay off
and then you build more and more and more and more.
It started with the studio in the kitchen and now
it's no studio at all. Like if MI was an
now guys, like he started as a studio in the kitchen.
Now it's the studio Dallas Barbecue.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Been a long way, man, do what I'm saying. So
the question to that is do you do all of
this stuff and hustle just out of like a sense
of motivation or is it? Like yo, because we for
children here are children of immigrants.

Speaker 5 (37:30):
Yeah, is it that drive? Is it?

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yo? I'm a dad? Is it yo? I'm just creative
and I just want to keep moving like or die
like that now.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
It started. It started with I'm creative and like he
NEETs keep moving or else I'm gonna die. But I've
always been addicted to momentum, Like I like momentum. I
like the biggest thing for me is is is me
surprising myself and be like, oh my god, I did it.
Like it's like a joke, like I'm like ha haa.
You know, It's not like I'm like I can't believe.
I want to. I want them to say like I
can't I believe he did it. It's more like me

(38:01):
being like, whoa, I can't believe I did it?

Speaker 1 (38:02):
You know.

Speaker 5 (38:02):
That's like my number one motivating factor is trying to
one up myself every time. And then it is definitely
I think maybe actually before that is like Ronney said
this on a podcast or on TV show once, but
he's just like that's just called me an Egyptian, Like
does the Egyptian people are just if you're not in Egypt,
it's like this, So yeah, it's like an immigrant like

(38:23):
you know thing I think it's my dad was kind
of like this, but he was less successful. But I
don't know, I've always just been motivated, like I've never
really been motivated by money until recently, which is now
because I am a dad, I am motivated by money.
But before that, I wasn't really motivated by money, but
I was at least creatively. Like there was a long

(38:44):
time where I was only motivated by money when it
wasn't in pursuit of something greater. It was just like
I need to pay my bills, I need to get
out of poverty, which is normal, and I think most
people are in that category of like I need to
work hard so I could pay for my life, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (39:00):
What was that?

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Like?

Speaker 7 (39:02):
What did working at ad vice inform that? Or have
you always been that way?

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Because for me, like that moment came for me when
I worked at H on this show that nobody gave
a fuck about, on a network that has way more
money than it should, you know, to pay people to
give a fuck about it.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
And then after working there, I was like, yeah, I can't.
I just can't be.

Speaker 7 (39:24):
I can't invest nine ten hours of my day to
something that only I give a shit about when I'm
supposed to be surrounded by people that give a shit
about this thing, you know, and it's like I'd rather
like you and like Libelle, like like Merrill, I'd rather
get it out the mud, doing something everybody cares about,
as opposed to like, oh yeah, I'm making this much

(39:44):
or whatever, like it was a nice check or whatever,
but it just wasn't worth the fucking monotony of showing
up and just doing Okay, I gotta cut this fucking
TikTok for this show.

Speaker 3 (39:55):
It's like, you know what I mean, but it's actually.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Yeah, yeah, he was gonna suck.

Speaker 7 (40:05):
Yeah, So we know, we know that we know that
moment for you was everybody knows that moment. Where that
moment was from Meryl, And I'm only saying that because
I can't remember specifically.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
We know that for.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
Me was at that other place? Where was that moment
for you?

Speaker 7 (40:21):
And also I don't know where that moment was for
Lisabelle or if she has always felt this way to
start with you?

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (40:28):
If if?

Speaker 1 (40:30):
What was the question?

Speaker 7 (40:31):
Again, I'm sorry, no, I was like, what was the
where what was the moment that you realized like, I'd
rather be doing something I'd give a fuck about, even
if it means getting it out the mud.

Speaker 6 (40:38):
Major world, that major world, Yes, that Quesson.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
We're selling you would be so on Ultimate for eighty
thousand dollars.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
It's not gonna make it up the lot. But allegedly
they sell cars that have been in tsunamis just underwater forever, allegedly.
You know, I seen that ship myself with my own allegedly,
but it was Major World. First of all, I paid
the attention to your story. Whenever you get hired on
the spot, you in for some ship. So that happened

(41:18):
to me at Major where I got hired on the spot.
And I remember asking the girl because I used to research,
and they said, whenever you're in an interview, asked them
a question. So I looked at the girl and I
was like, what's your favorite part about working here? And
she was like, I said, oh no. She didn't even
answer me. She just let out a deep bread and
I said, holy shit, and take the job. I was

(41:40):
in dire need of money.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I needed money, but that was a.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
Baby, yeah, you see it. I couldn't do that, bro.
So I did the Major World thing, and that's what
inspired me to keep writing my book because I was like,
I gotta get the funk out of like this can't
be real. And it showed me that the racism and
all of these things that I had read about and studied.
It was real life, you know, Like that really showed me.
So that's when I was like, Yo, if I don't

(42:04):
do what I need to do creatively, I suffer. I
suffer mentally in every way. So does my family and
my friends and the people that I love. So I
need to literally release my creativity.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yeah, literally literally, And like Rady talked about it before,
like you call me pimping your passion, you know what
I'm saying, Like doing something that you're passionate about, but
doing it for money. How does that affect you? Know
what I'm saying, Like the shit that you do? You
know because like you said, your dad now you know
what I mean. So like a man, like there's certain
things that I wouldn't have done that I might take

(42:35):
a second look at, you know what I mean. Like
similar to you know, Jonnerwards, it's like, hey, I can't.

Speaker 5 (42:40):
Do this bush You're doing an extra ten thousand exactly
because as somebody who's in so many lanes like you are,
it's like, Okay, well.

Speaker 7 (42:47):
This is profitable right now, and this little tiny baby
mouth needs to get fed, So maybe this other stuff
that I still really care about kind of has to
like take up back to the profitable thing.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
But then maybe you're not as into the profitable thing
anymore because now there's like an incentive and now there's
like a there's like a like there's almost like a
responsibility to keep doing it because it's the thing that's
making you much cash out.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:16):
Yeah, no, I mean I started working when I was fourteen.
I didn't stop ever. Yeah, like that's it's all.

Speaker 1 (43:22):
That's all.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
Welcome to real immigrooms ship.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
Yeah that was partecute.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
It's it's yeah. I just started working at fourteen, never
looked back, never got sick of it. I mean I
was just like this is life. Life is work. And
I still feel that way. But it was like there
was a moment at age like thirty three that I
had a reel, which is Jesus's death day, death year.
But I had like a moment at thirty three I
call it mid like enlightenment period where I went through

(43:49):
a divorce. It was COVID. My brother was in the
hospital about to die from some shit. She got to
a bad car accident, and I just had like I
was like the whole thing fell apart, like my life
fell apart as I knew it, and I was like,
you know what, might as well throw this in the
garbage too, which was my career. And I was like,
I'm just gonna not do I'm gonna do what I

(44:10):
want to do rather than like try to get a
check and try to get a bigger check. Every time
it was always like, oh, the salary is this, Now,
the salary is this. Oh that life is gonna be
way easier. Never got easier. Oh like now life is
gonna I'm gonna feel this, And like life never changed.
It always is the same, sending emails for a living,
it's always the same. And so there was just this,
you know, that summer of like essentially the COVID happening,

(44:33):
my brother in the hospital, me separating from my wife,
George Floyd getting murdered. I was back home for the
first time in ten years. Like it was all this shit,
and I was like, I think I'm gonna do something new.
So that's when I started making videos. And you know,
it's been like it's been great, it's been great, and
I have I feel like I always put kind of

(44:55):
like don't I don't make decisions based on capitalism anymore.
I used to make all my disisters based on capitalism,
which is money. Now I don't so like I can
easily say no to a check even if I know
that I should say yes, you know what I mean, Like,
and I can say no to a subway takes a
guest based on our vibe without and they're a way

(45:19):
bigger star, you know, a huge actor, actress, And I'm like,
I don't mess with this person's.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Vibe.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
So I'm like no, and I know I should say yes,
So I don't.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
I feel like.

Speaker 5 (45:32):
I've not let kind of that like infect me. You know,
you can get infected by this. And Romie also said
this on the subway take, is like you can be
infected by capitalism and you make all your decisions, you
say fuck it whatever, Like everyone's getting the bag. I'm
getting the bag too, everyone's booking this guest. I'm gonna
book this guest too. But I've kind of just been like,
I'm not doing that, you know, And I've just been

(45:53):
very like of course I've I think I've done more
work than I would like because of the baby. Like
I'm like, I want a fucking vacation. I don't want
to work this week, you know, like one of the
like subway takes. I was like, after she was born,
I was like, I need to I needed a million
followers for some reason that's just in my head, like
because I was treating it like a hobby. I was

(46:14):
like doing like two videos a week, and then she
was born and I was like, oh, like this needs
to be a job. And so I went from two
to four to seven. I published seven videos a week
now once every day, and I went just crazy on it.
And now that I'm almost at a million, this goes
to your next question, which is like, now that I'm
almost I've hit my goal there, which is a million
of siktok a million on Instagram, I was like, oh,

(46:34):
now I can like go back to doing something else again,
because I feel like I've built like a decent moat
around that where it's like it's yeah, tiny guns sick
and now we're recording new music and like that's the
thing is like I kind of pick things up and
put things down based on what I feel like doing,
but not necessarily because it's making money, you know what

(46:55):
I mean, Like, there's no need for me to have
a podcast called the subway takes podcasts like, I don't
need to do that, but I'm still doing it because
I feel like doing it. But that that again, that's
another great way for me to lose money.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
You know, it's like, humor me for a second.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
You speak of subway takes, you speak of being able
to say no to guests that you don't want that
you guys don't vibe with.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Just humor me for a minute. Can you set it
up for me? Can you just ask me what my
take is?

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Real quick? Yeah? Okay, So what's your take?

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Well, I think vaccines are a lie. I think I
think they cost autism, you know it.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
I think it's just they we're just taking error where
we trust the government in Ireland.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Agreed, and don't even that doesn't matter what you mean
to come, he says, agree, you know, you.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Know, but you need the view said this is if
this is the best way to get that message to
the people.

Speaker 5 (47:49):
Wow, he's really good about it.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
You know, that's just what it asks.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
But I feel like my voice is gonna burst. But
he can even know.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
To imagine imagine RFA on somewhere.

Speaker 5 (48:00):
I mean, imagine all.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
We could do.

Speaker 5 (48:03):
Imagine, But I think that that is like a thing
like you see all these other guys like that were
like have like whatever this person on the show, this
person on the show, this person on the show, and
you know that it's morally wrong, and I'm like, I'm
not doing it morally. I'm not doing you know, if
Obama wants to come on, why did you buy my rack?

Speaker 1 (48:34):
I didn't do it directly. It was done by drugs.

Speaker 5 (48:37):
It was like that was back in the day when
we didn't talk about it. Now we have text message threads.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
So we got signal thread, now thread, we.

Speaker 5 (48:44):
Got the whole gang on it. We got my wife
in the thread just being like, oh you got you
bomb them to there tomorrow. Hey, sorry, babe, can't make
it a dinner bombing Whufy's tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
Oh my god, that's what the thumbs up the heart
reacting to this notice.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
Yeah, by the way, guys, drone strike eminent.

Speaker 5 (49:07):
But that is why it's important to hold the line
in some capacity, you know what I mean. Like, I'm
not trying to be a political activist. I'm not trying
to be a social justice warrior. I'm not trying to
be fucking literally anything. But you know, if there's something
I don't agree with, AKA like you're probably a bad person.

(49:27):
I don't really funk with that. I just it's it's
really not even based on the politics that you know.
It's it's more about, like I can tell you can
tell when taxi drivers. I always say taxi drivers have
a sixth sense. I don't want to get into the
racism of them being like I'm not going to pick
up that black guy, which in the past was a
real thing. You know, that was a real thing. I
would say, now maybe it still is. I'm not black

(49:49):
enough they picked me up. Why did they pick me up?
I don't know, to make an eye, I'm black.

Speaker 8 (49:58):
If he Dominican, you look, yeah, maybe that's it's okay.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
You don't want any for.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
That's what it is is because because I'm Indian, I'm black,
I'm Dominican and I'm half so they're like whatever, pick up.
But if you're an actual black person, like like dark
thought like you, you probably do encounter the racism where
they're like, I'm not picking you up.

Speaker 6 (50:20):
They have colds for different car services, they have colds.
If you're going to a neighborhood or the person, they'll
tell you, oh, it's an eight and they'll use that
cold and then that's how you know you're picking up
a black person. And some people will not pick up
that call, you know.

Speaker 7 (50:34):
Even like Cooper, Like they'll pull up, see who it
is and cancel the ride.

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Crazy.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
That's something that I can get behind with Klarna. Cooper
needs Clarna? What pay me?

Speaker 1 (50:50):
Yo? Make it happen because yo my god. Yo. Okay,
So Rady brought this up, and this is a very
contentious topic. You know what I'm saying. I feel like
I don't give a ship, but we would love to
get your opinion on it.

Speaker 9 (51:02):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
Everybody that was featured on Kendrick's gn X album has
kind of taken that golden ticket and rolled that wave
to success. H doty six, who's featured on the album,
has not, you know what I'm saying. He's been doing like,
you know, kind of crashing out a little bit. He
got into a car accident, which then he went on
Instagram Live and was like, already go to the fuck hospital.

(51:23):
You know what I mean, Listen, clearly got these out.
Is it kendricks responsibility to follow up on that, bro?
Or is it like all right?

Speaker 5 (51:34):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Like I gave you this ticket, like I gave you
this opportunity.

Speaker 3 (51:38):
Yeah, it's on you to execute.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (51:41):
Somebody who also, you know, makes music, and who is
someone who by virtue of existing, is inherently you know,
like immigrants, by virtual of existing, are just inherently political,
you know what I mean? Like somebody is it his
responsibility to follow up? Or like if you feed shot
somebody on tiny gun and they went crazy, right like

(52:03):
the ep blew up, the album blew up or whatever,
but then you know they are I g kind of
doing this crashing out, calling you a bitch all types
of ship, which he did.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Kendrick, he was like, Yo, that song ain't changed ship.
Kendrick is a bitch. Fuck him, right, So somebody also
makes music.

Speaker 5 (52:21):
I just put my bad, Yeah, my bad?

Speaker 7 (52:26):
Yeah, you know because that's what And it's like like
bringing it to your to like subway takes, like are
you responsible for every fucking guest?

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Of course not. That would be like a barista being
responsible for everyone comes to THEE Like, I don't know
who's saying that. He's a grown man. He's you know,
he's responsible for himself, police himself.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
Hold on though, at the same time, see you being
in Tiny Gun. You didn't spend two whole albums preaching
solidarity the community and community all right, good kid Man
City and damn all that ship Butterfly, that ship is
all about solidarity.

Speaker 6 (53:07):
Yeah, no, no, no, I was gonna say about it. He
also made an album about accountability, about how he's not
anybody savior, and I think that's the difference with Doughty six.
You could tell he's crashing the funk out. He might
be having a mental health episode because he crashed Shorty
with his his whip with his shorty. They're both leaking
like there's chunks of blood in the hair and they're

(53:28):
kissing like we're not going to the hospital.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
That's insane.

Speaker 6 (53:33):
So it's like, yeah, you sometimes you do need to
reach out and help people. And then sometimes you gotta
see when like people are absolutely fucking wild and are
there they're the ones who dig their own holes sometimes.

Speaker 5 (53:46):
I was gonna say, unpopular opinion. I don't really like
Andrew Lamar at all.

Speaker 6 (53:49):
So really, okay, it's not for me.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
It's good.

Speaker 5 (53:54):
It's probably good, they say by dying, it's like.

Speaker 6 (54:00):
Good, who's your favorite Drake?

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Listen before we before we turn it into a.

Speaker 6 (54:13):
What is it a.

Speaker 5 (54:17):
Form on scripted vertical video? You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Are we gonna end on that literally?

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Like literally, like, let's keep it current? Okay? One hundred
men versus one gorilla? Me one hundred men?

Speaker 6 (54:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (54:36):
No?

Speaker 5 (54:36):
Am I fighting these things? Am I fighting one hundred
or one gorilla?

Speaker 1 (54:39):
One one hundred men kill one gorilla? Yes you think that? Yes? Absolutely?
Not absolutely, yes, let's open this up.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
Does they have spears or are they just I think
one hundred men could pay gorilla? Are you just punching
both eyes? That is blind? I fucking grilla to put
your Yeah, somebody just has to punch his eyes.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
Yeah, yeah, who's gonna be who's the first?

Speaker 5 (55:05):
That's a little less guy. The little guy crawls up
like you distracted, and then you got the little guy.
If the little guy runs up one two right here,
and then it's blind and you can do whatever you want.
Kicking in the balls. I feel bad. I don't even
like those. And I was gonna say I've never heard
of gorilla personally.

Speaker 2 (55:25):
I was gonna say that. His imperial brain kicked in.
He was like, we must conquer this a thousand years
I'm on the opposite side of that leave the gorilla
because hey, umbrella.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
Yes, and we use recycled much, thank you. I'm on
the opposite side of the spectrum because I am of
the mind that the first dude that approaches the gorilla
is gonna get instantly killed. Yes, and then we're Hugans.
We function off of logic. We're gonna see the first

(56:09):
guy get his head ripped off his body and be like,
oh shit, I mean he's gonna see ninety nine dudes
running away.

Speaker 7 (56:15):
You know, you need to have a plan if it's
not a squid game situation where we're forced to be there.
The gorilla is gonna rip one guy in pass and
use him as nun chunks to beat the ship out
of there.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
The next thirty dumbest motherfucker's out of the hundred, and
then the seventy. With some sense, it's gonna get the
fuck up out of the Yeah.

Speaker 6 (56:36):
I was watching Band Another h yesterday. Just feel like,
get my mind together, see what will really happened. Bro,
gorilla is way up to six hundred punds and they
could reach up to six feet right. These motherfuckers is
mad intelligence and they will fight to death. They got
a strunger bite than a motherfucking bear and a lion.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
What are we talking.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
About, bro, I'm so I'm the only one that thinks
a lot of people.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
My brother thought my brother and he said he he
could suck them up himself.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
I'm like, crazy, way, what are you talking?

Speaker 5 (57:06):
That's like that. That's like that meme where like the
guy is holding a gun at the sun and he's
like fus on screens. It's I thought that there was
in my mind. This is what I've been visiting. The
gorillas in the middle and you've got the hundred men
surrounding it. But it makes me sad to think about
because then it's like freaking out, like the gorilla is

(57:26):
all panicked. I like animals a lot. I don't like things.
I don't even like thinking about this, but you know,
because I have to answer this question. The hundred men
are surrounding the grill. The girl is like, oh, there's
one hundred men, and then like you kind of mob
on it. Yeah, in the eyes.

Speaker 6 (57:42):
I don't think that the gorilla is going to be sad.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
I think he's gonna I think it's gonna be scared
of ship.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
I think he's gonna say his blood and and be like, yeah,
I love, I love.

Speaker 6 (57:51):
I think it's gonna be scared at first, because it's
gonna be a little bit confused. Like what these motherfuckers
running around They're they're crunching power bite bite, twelve hundred
pounds of just strength in the mouth eighteen hundred pounds away. Yeah,
they're just gonna be flinging people.

Speaker 10 (58:10):
Well that's what I envisioned. Like you can see like
the Avengers and ship when they when the incredible hope
that the army coming. He's just like just like throwing
grown man helicopters. Yeah, like throwing helicopters and ship like that.

Speaker 3 (58:20):
You know the okay, you know the Looney Tunes like
smoke Ball.

Speaker 1 (58:25):
You know. He sees like.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's gonna be that then and then
just a very tired gorilla.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Yeah. I love gorillas. I hope to somebody say that
if you punch them in the dick, that's that's the
end of it. But it's not true because gorillas have
very small dicks compared to this side. So if you
put it's like punching a baby dick, Like it's not
gonna still hurt.

Speaker 13 (58:48):
It's gonna hurt a little bit, and that's gonna got
the size of your dick matters.

Speaker 5 (58:52):
All dicks are the same when it comes to getting
punched in them.

Speaker 7 (58:55):
Yeah, he's gonna be killing one guy and what the
fuck the fun plus day.

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Listen, So now Lisbelle Brandy, they have cars with no context.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
We are going to do a vertical video form. We're
gonna make a smoka making a smoka. This one's called
Dominican or Arab.

Speaker 1 (59:21):
You know what I'm saying because there's a lot of
crossover between the two cultures.

Speaker 5 (59:23):
Yeah, hookah, who is the main one.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
I was to say, that's that's that's it's number one
of these hookah Dominican.

Speaker 5 (59:33):
That one they can share it, but it is. It
is an Arab, But the Dominicans have have adopted their
own use. Fourth of July. Dominicans out there smoking bubbly bro?

Speaker 3 (59:43):
What are you doing a barber shop on a Tuesday?

Speaker 1 (59:47):
Yeah that's you don't even need to.

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Yeah, Like I'm I'm the stoop, I see dude, stoop now,
which is a lot. That's a lot of the Arabs
doing who at the gyp? Who's doing the who the gym.

Speaker 9 (01:00:01):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
They was he in the gym? Yeah, it was a
crack head was in the gym. How do you know
he's a crackhead.

He looked like a crackhead. You gotta hooka in the gym?

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Who speaking crackout of hookah is nuts and working on

Speaker 5 (01:00:18):
Imagine who are his ops?

Speaker 3 (01:00:22):
Like what is he training for?

Speaker 5 (01:00:26):
The way?

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
It's one right there, mantic cosic shaped eyebrows like very.

Speaker 5 (01:00:32):
And I'm giving that to I'm giving that to the Arabs.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Yeah, you got to love Belkies.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Yeah, I belongs to you know what I'm saying, Deli's.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):
Oh what an answer that I can do is either
Arab Dominican or or or.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
You know what I'm saying, you can be diplomatical.

Speaker 5 (01:00:50):
I think both. I think I think the Bodega slash
Deli is a both both. Yeah, because you know we
talked about it earlier. Yeah, there's like it's probably forty
nine forty nine and then two percent Asians. Yeah, dependicant
forty nine percent Arab, two percent Asian.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
And how and like said, how do you know, like
you know which kind of you know what I'm saying based.

Speaker 7 (01:01:12):
On the bag because yeah, one has one has pork
and beer, the other has uh, ceramic tiles and chandeliers.

Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
So that's how you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:23):
That's how you know the difference.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
I know because I know because one's streaming CNN on
either a phone or on a TV, and that's definitely
an Arab one that mother, Yeah, it's always CCTV. It's
always it's always CNN or equivalent, or they're listening to
it and just walking as I'm doing a Yemeny Arab

(01:01:45):
accent by the way, because because the because the Egyptian
sounds way different. But the Yemeni guys, they are really throating.
They're most most of them, most of the delis and
bodega's run by Arabs are Yemeny. They're like they own
like twenty five set of all total ship.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
Ye any mob. I don't know if the.

Speaker 7 (01:02:06):
Mob either watching CNN like you said, or they're watching
too many politicians beat the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Ship out of this screen. I walk in there, I'm like,
what is going on?

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
Like you know, I read a really interesting sad ones that,
like the New York Post, like if if the Yemenis
wanted to like end it, they could, they would just
be like, we don't sell anymore, and it would like
it would the business would just it would go.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
You know what.

Speaker 5 (01:02:31):
The brothers, yeah, they both if they if they put
like something bad about a Yemeny on the cover of
they we're not selling the.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
Schools one of the most famous and then have them
slam in the in the post.

Speaker 6 (01:02:47):
Okay, Dominican era secret families.

Speaker 13 (01:02:51):
That's definitely Dominicans, Like, hey, look, you know I gotta
be honest.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):

no offense. I'm my mama's boy too. How did your
conversation go?

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
It's not a conversation, it's just me listening to three
minute long WhatsApp voice not and then responding with like
a yea, our heart, you know what I mean? Call
me yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:03:37):
My mom will send me four voice one minute each
and as I'm listening to the bitches, she'll call me
to tell me everything that I just spent.

Speaker 3 (01:03:44):
Yeah that for minutes, because you're like, bro, mym no, no.

Speaker 7 (01:03:48):
My favorite thing is when they send that really long
voice note and then you hit the you hit the
two X.

Speaker 5 (01:03:57):
I never speed it up.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
I didn't even know you can speed it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
Have to.

Speaker 5 (01:04:01):
My mom left me a four minute one the other
day and it was she needed my help untangling a
customer service issue with air France. And she's like, I
don't know how to fix this, can you do it
for me? And it was like, so I booked a
ticket and then I went to the gate and they
didn't have a ticket for me. So I had to
buy a new ticket, but they said they would refund
me for the old ticket. But the new ticket is
a one way ticket and the old ticket was a

(01:04:22):
round trip ticket. I was like, I'm fucked. I'm so
I have to deal with this because I can't say
you're on your own, bitch, You're on your own ma.

Speaker 6 (01:04:33):
So I have to figure out what's hard is what's
hard of being a dad or being a dad to
an older mom.

Speaker 5 (01:04:40):
Oh, definitely being the dad to the mom.

Speaker 6 (01:04:42):
Yeah, because I'm going through that same ship.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
Yeah, I think you have to. You can't be white
and just throw them an old said it was great.

Speaker 7 (01:04:55):
Yeah, my little sister just moved out, like she just
moved out on her own.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
And now like we're at we are at the stage
of like turning the router off and back.

Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
On like you know what. Yeah, no, now you have
to Now you have to babysit. Yeah, and you can't.
You have no choice. I don't even feel I will
do anything, you know. I sat on fucking hold with
air Pranton for two hours always like I know you're busy,
and I'm like, fuck like and it's like they, you know,
four hundred dollars or something. I'm like, she needs the
four hundred dollars. I'll do it. You know, I gotta

(01:05:28):
get the four undred dollars. I didn't a mission accomplished, Jock.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
There's a good diffiguess, Like god, damn it, you know
what I'm saying. And now we are going to get
you in trouble because we have the tenfoil fitted segment
where yes, sir, here is a producing man. He's presenting
you with a ten fold fitted put on your head.
It will protect cock to the left, DJ jobmas.

Speaker 5 (01:05:51):
We're still doing cock to the left, not the right right.
I haven't cocked. I hat a long time when I
was young, and we always use cocking to the left
because there was something up with that, like that was
the right gang to be back when I was growing
up in the suburbs of Minnesota. We always cocked it
to the left because that was the right gang to be.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
It was me my sideways had.

Speaker 5 (01:06:13):
What game was on the left? I never conscious the right.
Everyone was like, never cack it to the right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
You can't do.

Speaker 5 (01:06:18):
All these white boys from Minnesota and never cocked it.
Everyone was cocked to the left. It was so weird,
including me. They fallow could That's what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
We can't do that. Let me see it. So here
we are with Kareem. You know what I'm saying, and
we're actually the tid fitted what we asked all the
steam guest, what is the conspiracy theory or theory in
general that you believe to be true?

Speaker 5 (01:06:41):
One, there is a there has been a change in
the food in New York City post pandemic. All restaurant
food has gotten worse by twenty percent, and I don't know,
actually maybe thirty percent. Had you quantify, how did you
get to I can just tell, but no. I remember
like when you ordered thie, it would be flavorful. So

(01:07:04):
you get some tie and you'd be like, oh, this
is typhoon. I ordered tie yesterday. It tasted like Campbell's
soup and I was so upset. I was like, what
is this? And it was from a place that had
like one thousand reviews and they were all five stars,
and I was like, I didn't get a bad batch.
I know, I didn't get bad because it's been downhill
since since the pandemic. I think all the ingredients have
gotten worse, the recipes have gotten worse, the spices, they're

(01:07:27):
lacking on spices. Something's up. You guys aren't seeing this.

Speaker 7 (01:07:30):
No, I'm talking with that.

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
Do you think people are skimming too because they.

Speaker 5 (01:07:36):
Trying to say you have more right sauce? Yeah, saluting,
you know like that. The curries. I got two curries yesterday.
They both tasted like coconut milk, but nothing else. They
were one was green and one was red, but there
was no difference. They were exactly the same. Dude, they
put dye in there. And I think the only thing

(01:07:56):
that's tolerable in the city is burgers. They distracted every
with the burger. They know, we got a burger, and
then you go to a restaurant and they go, oh,
they have a great burger. And then and you're like, well,
what else is good? They're like, oh, I haven't tried
anything else. I've only tried the burger. This is a
great restaurant. Yeah, why is the burger exactly right? I
don't got a good use. That's it. There's there. It's

(01:08:17):
either a great burger or there's nothing at the restaurants.
That's good because there's something happening.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
I feel like agree too, because but on a different tip,
like I feel like kids menus got more even more
basic post COVID, Like I feel like they used to
have four kids, but it's a lot so any time
we got to eat, it's like obviously it's like yo,
here's four little fucking maize menus with crayons and welcome
to Applebee's. It used to be like yo, there was

(01:08:45):
like a like kid versions of the adult food, like
like a spaghetti lemound right for the kid. But now
it's just like no matter what the restaurant is, it
could be fucking fucking Dominican food, it could be fucking
Middle East, it could be no matter what it is.
But they have chicken tenders pasta with just butter and
like chicken chicken fingers again. Yeah you know what I'm saying,

(01:09:08):
like chicken Yeah, And I'm like Yo, this it used
to be like this.

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
I haven't been I haven't looked at that yet. I
haven't looked into that they.

Speaker 1 (01:09:16):
Used to.

Speaker 3 (01:09:19):
That ship used to.

Speaker 7 (01:09:20):
Brother, I was in a spot in Brooklyn yesterday that
was playing in my face. Man, these motherfuckers had, uh,
what's the Irish ship?

Speaker 2 (01:09:29):
Bangers and bangers and they had all of that. They
had a fucking French onion suit. They had pot pie
bro they had all.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Types of shit.

Speaker 9 (01:09:37):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
The kids menu was two things. It was chicken tenders
and butter noodles.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
That shit had the audacity to be fourteen dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
That's crazy that. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
Yeah, the prices have gone off, the quality has gone down. Yeah,
and I think I think it is like when they
added more air to the bags the chip Chip Joe
the same time the chicks are less. That's that's for sure.

Speaker 6 (01:10:01):
Like every year they use a little bit of season
until there's no chip.

Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
Some chips. They had one chip in there.

Speaker 3 (01:10:11):
You read the man it says some chip, like.

Speaker 5 (01:10:16):
Has always been like this, and they're like, yeah, yeah,
it's always been like this has been one chip, so
it's always been called some chip.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Yeah, Yeah, this is how I'm gonna play myself here,
and this is how I feel. I feel like I
am a dumb person because I haven't. I don't pay
attention to elevation when I go, when I travel, like
it's not a thing that I'm aware of, like, oh,
we're the higher elevation. Yeah, I'm just like, why can't
I breathe? You know? So I go into like a
safeway in Arizona, and all the chips, the bats and

(01:10:44):
chips are not like they're not like they're all like
they look like a full balloon. Like they look like
about those birds. They're pumped up. And I was just like, yo,
I was like, look, I was like they put an
even less chips in these because these.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
Are like full of air.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (01:10:57):
This is crazy. This is a great gist.

Speaker 1 (01:10:59):
I'm like, I'm talking about you see these ship like
I'm talking about kids.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
Look, let's chicks.

Speaker 1 (01:11:04):
That's that's what America. That's capitalism.

Speaker 6 (01:11:06):
You have just turned into your father right in front
of me, Broy with the politics.

Speaker 14 (01:11:11):
I look at this, give you less cheap, and then
they want you to accept that. They want you to
accept you pay more, you get less, Betal, you have
to accept it.

Speaker 5 (01:11:24):
He's right because you hear the right.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
Yeah, And then I went to the lady and the
lady was like, oh no, it's just the elevation makes
the pressure in the government.

Speaker 3 (01:11:33):
That's what I said.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
That's what I said.

Speaker 5 (01:11:37):
And you know what else, doing all the fucking fruit
in this country is literally designed to make you eat candy.
Because if you go to Puerto Rico or the American
Republic or Egypt, you eat a banana, you go, wow,
this is this is what's I don't even need candy
ever again, this is a bit. You need a banana here,
you're like immediately grabbing for a banana Starburst. They took

(01:11:59):
the flavor. No, no, I'm serious. They took the flavor
oute so that corporations could sell candy because the taste
of a strawberry is literally a star wars but it's
not a straw strawberry. There's no flavor. I stopped buying strawberries. Yeah,
I don't buy fruit.

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
This is I don't buy fruit.

Speaker 5 (01:12:18):
It's worth it's worthless. The only thing that still tastes
like some of those blueberries. But strawberries tastes like bananas,
barely taste like anything.

Speaker 1 (01:12:25):
But it is just like a stick of chalk to
me at this point, like a salt like wet chalk.

Speaker 5 (01:12:29):
Bro. They took the flavor out, and you go to
any other country, Costa Rica to Mexico and you go,
holy shit, forget. You know, I don't like fruit here
when I don't eat fruit here, but when I go
on vacation, every for breakfast, I get the fruit ball
because I'm like, I missed you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:43):
It's amazing. Miss. I will go to my familial home
in the Dominican Republic, sit into the mango treatis in
the yard and look like I'm eating eighty pounds of
pussy bro because.

Speaker 5 (01:12:55):
My face is just covered in like slime.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
You know what I'm saying. I'm just it tastes totally different. Yes,
when you're when you're in New York, you gotta become
like a fern or something to eat sunlight.

Speaker 5 (01:13:10):
Somebody I recently read that if you go to Chinatown
they have the best produce. They were like, you should
go to Chinatown and get That's where you should get
your fruit vegetables. I don't know if that's true, but
I'm gonna try.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
So.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
That was low kia two for them.

Speaker 1 (01:13:24):
That was three for three.

Speaker 5 (01:13:27):
Actually, I don't remember. The third one was the food
and skimflation.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
There you go.

Speaker 8 (01:13:37):
Yeah, listen.

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
I have once had a lady told me I was
outside playing my children. They have fruit, like cut up fruit,
like strawberries, blueberries, shit like that and like a little thing,
and they were eating it, and this little kid that
was playing with my kids was like, hey, can I
have some? So then I turned around to the mom
and I'm like, yo, is it okay if my kids
share this fruit with your with your child? And she
was like this kid was like five years old by

(01:13:59):
the way. She's like, I don't know. And I was like,
I don't know. She's like, he's never had fruit before.

Speaker 10 (01:14:06):
I said, whoa, we are in the hood food desert.

Speaker 1 (01:14:11):
But yeah, oh my.

Speaker 5 (01:14:18):
