Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh man, I got to give a shout out.
I had my uh high school reunion, my 20 year.
Yes, I'm, I'm an old old ass,old ass.
Hey man, let me rock.
But yeah, uh, shout out to johnf kennedy my ass 2004.
(04:03):
Hey man, we, we went out, wedid it big.
We had a great time at theTerrapin Turf in College Park,
nice.
Yeah man, it was a great time.
Like honestly, I like to saythat I didn't really care about
high school that much.
I mean.
I had some great times but Ifeel like I didn't really care.
But going back and seeing allthose people again, no, I really
(04:28):
cared about high school.
I loved seeing everybody, bro,it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think that's typical for any high schooler.
You don't look at the times, orwhatever.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, but then when you go back now as an old dude
or whatever, you're like holyshit, you never know when the
good old times are the good oldtimes.
No, you didn't have to pay.
Yeah, you didn't have to pay.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know, you didn't need a job, you literally just
went to school yeah socialized,met people and went back home.
Do you understand, fucking, howcrazy being a teenager was?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
oh, you didn't have to deal with rent you didn't
have to deal with a job.
Any money you had was but thatfree money.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You could do whatever you wanted with but that was
your problem, though that's thewhole thing.
It's like the idea behind it isas a kid, you had your own
struggles and since it wasdifferent, but since you didn't
know, those struggles were thebiggest struggles in the world
and now, like that's the reasonwhy you appreciate it when you
went out and came back and youwas like holy shit, it was easy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):

up with.

Yeah, loved them all, bro.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you didn't.
You know, it's so funny that,like in high school, you
probably didn't see the same way.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
No, I didn't see you were getting by, I didn't
realize how, how much I lovedand appreciated those people for
real, and it's true love,because the way I see it is like
they mold you man.
Yeah, every one of those peoplehad a slight bit of who I
became and it's just one of themthings where it's like going

Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, you know white people, people too also have
very funny uh.
Like you know you messed upwhen someone says like uh you
know like yeah, like whoa therepal, yeah, you know, yeah, hang
on a second there fella oh,actually I won't pull that up
next time.
The white term versus the blackterm oh yeah, that's just a lot
of that is polar opposite.
Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It's the way you say it is.
What the difference?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But, yeah, yeah, like so you did your, your, your
family thing.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And I feel what's next happening.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I think Well, I'm unpacking, getting readjusted
here and then repacking, and onFriday I'm heading out to
Armenia.
I'm going to be gone for aboutyeah, yeah, about close to two
weeks and I'll be out theredoing some work-related stuff
with therapy for kids, speakingat a couple of places, but then
(11:35):
also I'll be releasing a newsong this Friday called Honoring
the High, which is about justArmenians in general and what
we've been able to overcomedespite the, you know,
adversities that we've faced.
And, um that song also, I'mgoing to be uh, donating a
portion of the proceeds to uhhelping organizations that are
sort of providing services forarmenians who've been displaced
from artsakh, which is a, anenclave of armenia, historic
land which was taken byarzabajan uh last year.
Um, so that's uh, you know,giving back to the community a
(11:56):
little bit there.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Do you want to play a snippet of it?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I think we got a little something.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Let's play a little bit of it, see how it is.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Let's do this of cultures, scholars and authors,
paying respect to ourforefathers, proper living, with
an attitude of gratitude thatincludes educating other
cultures, so we can rally you tostand up against this travesty
of tragedy by helping us weavethis tapestry of majesty,
history of victory, the legacywe leave, delivery of liberty
made for you and me.
So let's come together, becausewe're never going to stop
(12:32):
thriving and climbing until wereach that top, 3,000 years on,
still strong, with the pride.
Endured many wrongs, but wepromise to survive, prosper and
provide as long as we alive.
Can't knock us down because we,honoring the high, we honoring
the high, can't, can't, can'tknock us down.
Knock, knock us down.
Can't knock us down because we,honoring the high.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Honoring the high.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, yo.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
What was the name of that again?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Honoring the high, honoring the high Yo.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
that shit was sick yo .
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Thanks, man, appreciate it.
Yeah, no, it's a cool record.
I think it's got a cool poppishvibe that we sort of
deliberately planned to appealto hip-hop listeners but then
non-hip-hop listeners, to appealto hip-hop listeners but then
non-hip-hop listeners, and thenthe lyrics sort of pay tribute
to a lot of Armenian sentiments,but then also are very
universal as well, so hoping toreach a lot of big audience.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Give props to you for putting that together and also
again represent you know what Imean.
Put in all the hard work youput in When's the last time
you've been out there.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I was going to say I was like I've never seen
somebody represent a genocide ashard as Mark has.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Or, I guess, advocate for genocide recognition.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I should say Advocate .
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He can represent.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No, but I know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You're representing it like it's, like it's a thing
you know he's repping bro, yeah,no, no, no, I hear you man
think about it yeah, you'redoing it like you know, saying
it's.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's so crazy that a lot, of, a lot of cultures don't
actually bring back.
It's not like you were born andyou, but you're still.
It's part of you.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, no, and I mean honestly like this is a.
It's an interesting thingbecause I've never been to
Armenia itself.
My mom has never been.
You know, my grandfatherescaped the genocide and he lost
.
It was him and my greatgrandmother.
Everyone else, the family'swiped out and our home, the
homeland where he was from, isgone.
It's no longer.
It's been taken as part of theterritory.
(14:35):
That was taken.
So, like that's, one of thereasons why my mom never went is
because we didn't have anyrelatives there.
We didn't have a home to visitor see where my grandfather grew
up.
So it was like you know, after Ireleased my song 1915, I got
really close with the communityand a lot of the followers that
I have on social mediaeverything are people in Armenia
(14:55):
, so that was a reason I wantedto go.
A lot of news segments andArmenian news networks covered
it, so I've been very fortunate.
I've always wanted to go and Iwas planning to go in 2020.
I released my debut album andthen COVID happened.
Yeah, I dropped the album inJanuary and then I was like all
gearing up.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
And then of course, course by March everything had
been shut down so, yeah, youknow it's been go hard, go crazy
yeah, yeah, but definitelydon't go too crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, we want you back we want you back.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, yeah, please don't, please don't have us out
to do a go for me.
I know right to get your assback here, no, no, I'll be back
for sure Work back to the States, please, please, please, please
.
Yeah, but anything else, I meanhonestly, what do you feel?
I guess we're.
Let's talk about politics.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Well then I might actually buy a place in Armenia.
It doesn't look like buyingmaybe Brazil or Armenia, I mean
America is getting a little lessappealing.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You better talk to your wife about that.
I'm like how about you know?
Okay?
I mean honestly it might becheap enough to buy both right.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I mean yeah, I mean honestly, buying a place in
Brazil is something we wanted todo.
We do want to do.
That's the game plan, but we'llsee how things go in november,
because I mean it could be not agood look.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I mean I know a lot of canada is going to be getting
a lot of you know uhapplications pretty soon yeah,
speaking mexico is going to getapplications too, I bet I guess
you're going by what you saw onit on a tube, right, the debate.
It was rough, the debate wasrough, the bait was rough, oh
man, mad rough.
It was very rough.
I think it was probably theroughest thing I ever saw in
(16:40):
politics in my whole life, andI'm pretty old.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hey man, I saw one dude who yeah, highlights of it
because I wasn't going to wastemy time watching the whole thing
.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, honestly, I watched the first bit and it
just I killed me and then Iturned it off.
Yeah, and I watched the recaplater on and it was just
Basically it didn't change I washoping it would get better.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
It didn't no One.
Dude damn near falling asleepon stage, the other dude talking
about golf, like it was like towhat are we doing?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
well, yeah, like the problem, too, was like I mean,
we know trump lies on on twitter, lies every chance you get blah
, blah, blah.
Like we know that he's not onlybeen through the election cycle
with the debates once and thenbeen president and then had all
this law.
We know the dude is a certifiedliar, so the fact that the
moderators were not prepped andcalling him out actively is like
(17:42):
yo, what are you doing?
We all know who this dude is sothe thing about it?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I think the moderator was trying to figure out how
this guy can dig himself a hole.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
They just weren't.
They actually weren't going tofact check, they weren't live
fact checking.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
They were thinking that Biden's job was to do that
right.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
No, but that's not his job.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
If someone's saying, like Previously, a lot of during
debates.
They call them out during adebate, right.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That's what they should do.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's what they should do, even when Trump out
during the debate, right, sure,and that's what, that's what
they should do.
They should do so even when,when, like trump, actually said
something back in the day.
You remember, that's why hethey fact-checked like, nah,
you're fucking, they were likeoh, biden or the other opponent
would fact-check you mean?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
yeah, and that's how he was like yeah, this time
biden was like, uh, well, yeah,that was a whole nother thing,
but the moderators should alwaysbe the fact checkers If the
opponents want to double backand say well, actually I
disagree with this because thatthey can.
They were playing it safe, butthat's a problem.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, the moderator's job this time wasn't.
I mean, we got to think aboutit like this that wasn't an
official debate.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
No, it wasn't so.
It was a CNN debate.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It was set up to get ratings, the idea behind it is,
they were just going to let themdo what they were going to do?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
They were just going to give them a platform.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Let them talk and then go from there.
So, whatever Trump said, hey,you can fact check it later.
Whatever Biden said, hey, youcan fact check it later.
But the idea, like I said, theidea behind it was it was more
set up for ratings.
It was so horrible.
Like I said, the idea behind itwas it was more set up for
ratings.
It was so horrible.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I think it was really bad for America because you
have a candidate who's literallyrun on fake news and then
you're not actively checking him.
The dude is Bouting things thatare fake and then he's saying
slurs and then you got Biden,who is just the reality is.
He's not where he was fouryears ago.
Exactly and honestly.
(19:35):
The Democratic Party has notdone a good job of showing what
other candidates it has, becauseit has younger people in it,
young candidates who are inelected positions, who are even
in the Biden administration.
That would do a better job.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Or even like not to say that they're going to have
to be the president to replaceBiden, but just as a selling
point, like if you vote forBiden even if he becomes unable
to be president anymore, you'vegot so and so at this position,
so and so at this positionconfidence in the ticket even if
you don't have confidence inhim as the president who's the
current one.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You know he's talking about the vice president should
have stepped her game up.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Well, not even that she should have stepped her game
up, but like the party shouldhave been, like yo.
You are going to be a veryimportant thing for the next
election.
Let's give you some good thingsto do from a PR standpoint,
where people are going to knowwhat you're doing.
They're going to have goodhighlights and then be able to
have confidence in you whereit's like there hasn't really.
The party didn't do its job.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It didn't elevate Kamala the way they should have,
or just the actual DemocraticParty.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I don't think the party backed Biden the way they
needed to back Biden.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
But at the same time, like we said, we don't really
know if Biden is in a positionthat another four years is going
to be, beneficial to not evenjust us, to him, yeah, yeah,
because like on top of that,it's like you got Pete Buttigieg
, who's a young guy I mean, he'sgot to be in his like mid 40s
or something.
He's part of the administration, like like you've got young
(21:05):
blood in the ticket, you know,like, but they're not doing the
greatest job of highlightingthat it's all about biden.
And like, yes, I get he's theface of the ticket, but like no,
he's not well, the the mainthing with him.
I don't want that face well,the bad, the bad side is he's
old, he's really old.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
He's the oldest president ever if he was elected
.
No, so you gotta also like youknow highlight After.
I saw him like the highlightswhen he was like they did the
Kirk Franklin and they weredoing a little thing and he was
in the concert and everybody'sdancing and he's sitting there
like oh, what's happening, likeit was scary, like everybody's
(21:46):
moving except him.
He's just like Like everybody'smoving except him.
He's just like I don't want tofall, or there's a lot of black
people around me.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's bad, it was really bad.
It was bad, yeah, it was bad.
I mean, and yeah, how can wefeel confident in that gentleman
?
I mean, even though thatgentleman's not going to be the
one going across nations makingdeals?
and talking to people, but howcan we deal with that when the
(22:16):
rest of the world is strugglingor going through shit?
Think of what the rest of theworld might look at us as dude
to a reality star racist.
A reality star racist.
To to a one of the oldestgentlemen ever to, potentially,
(22:37):
but have another four years ofone of the oldest gentlemen ever
like, but again don't trump thesame age.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So like it's.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, he's only two or three years younger than
biden, yeah, so either one ofthem, it's a historic election
because either one of them well,last year was going to be last
term was going to be the oldestpresident in us history ever and
again.
Like modern medicine, peoplelive longer than they did back
in like 1800s and whatnot, sothat's a factor, but also just
everyone is old, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Like even the old thing like carrying us like amer
America, carrying themselves asa powerhouse, is so bad now
Like we're relying on othercountries to be a powerhouse now
because of the way we carryourselves internal you know what
I'm saying Like we're battlingstupid racism.
We're battling stupid likepolitics or financial situations
(23:27):
that like they're looking at uslike yeah, these motherfuckers
are just like clowns, andespecially now the debate, when
they get like all right, who'sgoing to represent them?
And they're laughing like okay,well, this is laughable.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
But that's what I'm saying.
So you got a situation whereyou're looking at two old guys,
one, like I said, falling asleepon stage, the other one trying
to lie his ass off while talkingabout golf or distract us while
talking like he was talkinganything to the to get clickbait
like he was literally trying tosay things like it was like
(24:01):
nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The question would be this.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
And he was like well, I'm gonna say something hateful
and say I'm better than thisguy and I'm like and that's
that's where the moderatorsagain this should be a real
thing where they're like if youdon't answer the question, then
they cut your mic off or theyinterrupt you and redirect you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
No, before they were like all right, that's not the
question, that wasn't thequestion.
How about I answer this?
And then they're like you havetwo more seconds or two more
minutes to answer the right.
They're so scared of DonaldTrump's tweets or like going
back at him.
They did like you know what?
I'm just gonna sit back and let, I guess, social media pick
(24:41):
their situation, and that's sobad and that's the worst because
people are in the age ofinformation, everywhere it's so
stupid.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Everyone is either stupid or willingly ignorant, or
just ignorant, or it takes toomuch time to unpack.
If you got one person spewinglies and that's unchecked in
real time, everyone's thinkingit's real, then you have to have
someone convince you of whatyou just heard is not real and
then you have to take the timeto look it up and figure out the
(25:11):
truth where.
That's where the moderatorshould be like no, you can't say
that because that's not true.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
There's a lot of sheep not enough exactly, but
it's it's hard to be aware we'regonna keep going about this
shit and we're not that kind ofpocket I was like yo, I want to
keep, keep.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
No, I chimed in a little bit, but I was just like.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
These guys love their politics man, like we just get
into the rabbit hole on politicsand we start going.
I'm getting caught up into itbecause I love it.
I live in a DMV that we have tobe involved.
Speaker 1 (25:44):

passionate.

Other than that, what up withy'all.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh man, I got to give a shout out.
I had my uh high school reunion, my 20 year.
Yes, I'm, I'm an old old ass,old ass.
Hey man, let me rock.
But yeah, uh, shout out to johnf kennedy my ass 2004.
(04:03):
Hey man, we, we went out, wedid it big.
We had a great time at theTerrapin Turf in College Park,
nice.
Yeah man, it was a great time.
Like honestly, I like to saythat I didn't really care about
high school that much.
I mean.
I had some great times but Ifeel like I didn't really care.
But going back and seeing allthose people again, no, I really
(04:28):
cared about high school.
I loved seeing everybody, bro,it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I think that's typical for any high schooler.
You don't look at the times, orwhatever.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah, but then when you go back now as an old dude
or whatever, you're like holyshit, you never know when the
good old times are the good oldtimes.
No, you didn't have to pay.
Yeah, you didn't have to pay.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
You know, you didn't need a job, you literally just
went to school yeah socialized,met people and went back home.
Do you understand, fucking, howcrazy being a teenager was?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
oh, you didn't have to deal with rent you didn't
have to deal with a job.
Any money you had was but thatfree money.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
You could do whatever you wanted with but that was
your problem, though that's thewhole thing.
It's like the idea behind it isas a kid, you had your own
struggles and since it wasdifferent, but since you didn't
know, those struggles were thebiggest struggles in the world
and now, like that's the reasonwhy you appreciate it when you
went out and came back and youwas like holy shit, it was easy.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I appreciate all y'all knuckleheads what I grew
up with.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, loved them all, bro.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
But you didn't.
You know, it's so funny that,like in high school, you
probably didn't see the same way.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
No, I didn't see you were getting by, I didn't
realize how, how much I lovedand appreciated those people for
real, and it's true love,because the way I see it is like
they mold you man.
Yeah, every one of those peoplehad a slight bit of who I
became and it's just one of themthings where it's like going
(05:59):
back and seeing all those peopleand, honestly, the most
surprising thing yo, we all lookgreat.

Though, too, they give you thelittle white people smile and
the head nod.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Not even a real nod.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Not yet, it's just a little.
Speaker 2 (09:44):

Nah, it's like.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I love white people.

You found the right one today.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Well, you know white people, people too also have
very funny uh.
Like you know you messed upwhen someone says like uh you
know like yeah, like whoa therepal, yeah, you know, yeah, hang
on a second there fella oh,actually I won't pull that up
next time.
The white term versus the blackterm oh yeah, that's just a lot
of that is polar opposite.
Yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It's the way you say it is.
What the difference?
Speaker 3 (10:52):
But yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
But, yeah, yeah, like so you did your, your, your
family thing.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
And I feel what's next happening.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I think Well, I'm unpacking, getting readjusted
here and then repacking, and onFriday I'm heading out to
Armenia.
I'm going to be gone for aboutyeah, yeah, about close to two
weeks and I'll be out theredoing some work-related stuff
with therapy for kids, speakingat a couple of places, but then
(11:35):
also I'll be releasing a newsong this Friday called Honoring
the High, which is about justArmenians in general and what
we've been able to overcomedespite the, you know,
adversities that we've faced.
And, um that song also, I'mgoing to be uh, donating a
portion of the proceeds to uhhelping organizations that are
sort of providing services forarmenians who've been displaced
from artsakh, which is a, anenclave of armenia, historic
land which was taken byarzabajan uh last year.
Um, so that's uh, you know,giving back to the community a
(11:56):
little bit there.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Do you want to play a snippet of it?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah, I think we got a little something.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Let's play a little bit of it, see how it is.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Let's do this of cultures, scholars and authors,
paying respect to ourforefathers, proper living, with
an attitude of gratitude thatincludes educating other
cultures, so we can rally you tostand up against this travesty
of tragedy by helping us weavethis tapestry of majesty,
history of victory, the legacywe leave, delivery of liberty
made for you and me.
So let's come together, becausewe're never going to stop
(12:32):
thriving and climbing until wereach that top, 3,000 years on,
still strong, with the pride.
Endured many wrongs, but wepromise to survive, prosper and
provide as long as we alive.
Can't knock us down because we,honoring the high, we honoring
the high, can't, can't, can'tknock us down.
Knock, knock us down.
Can't knock us down because we,honoring the high.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Honoring the high.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Okay, yo.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
What was the name of that again?
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Honoring the high, honoring the high Yo.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
that shit was sick yo .
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Thanks, man, appreciate it.
Yeah, no, it's a cool record.
I think it's got a cool poppishvibe that we sort of
deliberately planned to appealto hip-hop listeners but then
non-hip-hop listeners, to appealto hip-hop listeners but then
non-hip-hop listeners, and thenthe lyrics sort of pay tribute
to a lot of Armenian sentiments,but then also are very
universal as well, so hoping toreach a lot of big audience.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Give props to you for putting that together and also
again represent you know what Imean.
Put in all the hard work youput in When's the last time
you've been out there.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I was going to say I was like I've never seen
somebody represent a genocide ashard as Mark has.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Or, I guess, advocate for genocide recognition.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I should say Advocate .
Speaker 2 (13:52):
He can represent.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
No, but I know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You're representing it like it's, like it's a thing
you know he's repping bro, yeah,no, no, no, I hear you man
think about it yeah, you'redoing it like you know, saying
it's.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
It's so crazy that a lot, of, a lot of cultures don't
actually bring back.
It's not like you were born andyou, but you're still.
It's part of you.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, no, and I mean honestly like this is a.
It's an interesting thingbecause I've never been to
Armenia itself.
My mom has never been.
You know, my grandfatherescaped the genocide and he lost
.
It was him and my greatgrandmother.
Everyone else, the family'swiped out and our home, the
homeland where he was from, isgone.
It's no longer.
It's been taken as part of theterritory.
(14:35):
That was taken.
So, like that's, one of thereasons why my mom never went is
because we didn't have anyrelatives there.
We didn't have a home to visitor see where my grandfather grew
up.
So it was like you know, after Ireleased my song 1915, I got
really close with the communityand a lot of the followers that
I have on social mediaeverything are people in Armenia
(14:55):
, so that was a reason I wantedto go.
A lot of news segments andArmenian news networks covered
it, so I've been very fortunate.
I've always wanted to go and Iwas planning to go in 2020.
I released my debut album andthen COVID happened.
Yeah, I dropped the album inJanuary and then I was like all
gearing up.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
And then of course, course by March everything had
been shut down so, yeah, youknow it's been go hard, go crazy
yeah, yeah, but definitelydon't go too crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Yes, we want you back we want you back.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, yeah, please don't, please don't have us out
to do a go for me.
I know right to get your assback here, no, no, I'll be back
for sure Work back to the States, please, please, please, please
.
Yeah, but anything else, I meanhonestly, what do you feel?
I guess we're.
Let's talk about politics.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Well then I might actually buy a place in Armenia.
It doesn't look like buyingmaybe Brazil or Armenia, I mean
America is getting a little lessappealing.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You better talk to your wife about that.
I'm like how about you know?
Okay?
I mean honestly it might becheap enough to buy both right.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I mean yeah, I mean honestly, buying a place in
Brazil is something we wanted todo.
We do want to do.
That's the game plan, but we'llsee how things go in november,
because I mean it could be not agood look.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I mean I know a lot of canada is going to be getting
a lot of you know uhapplications pretty soon yeah,
speaking mexico is going to getapplications too, I bet I guess
you're going by what you saw onit on a tube, right, the debate.
It was rough, the debate wasrough, the bait was rough, oh
man, mad rough.
It was very rough.
I think it was probably theroughest thing I ever saw in
(16:40):
politics in my whole life, andI'm pretty old.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Hey man, I saw one dude who yeah, highlights of it
because I wasn't going to wastemy time watching the whole thing
.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, honestly, I watched the first bit and it
just I killed me and then Iturned it off.
Yeah, and I watched the recaplater on and it was just
Basically it didn't change I washoping it would get better.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
It didn't no One.
Dude damn near falling asleepon stage, the other dude talking
about golf, like it was like towhat are we doing?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
well, yeah, like the problem, too, was like I mean,
we know trump lies on on twitter, lies every chance you get blah
, blah, blah.
Like we know that he's not onlybeen through the election cycle
with the debates once and thenbeen president and then had all
this law.
We know the dude is a certifiedliar, so the fact that the
moderators were not prepped andcalling him out actively is like
(17:42):
yo, what are you doing?
We all know who this dude is sothe thing about it?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I think the moderator was trying to figure out how
this guy can dig himself a hole.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
They just weren't.
They actually weren't going tofact check, they weren't live
fact checking.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
They were thinking that Biden's job was to do that
right.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
No, but that's not his job.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
If someone's saying, like Previously, a lot of during
debates.
They call them out during adebate, right.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
That's what they should do.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's what they should do, even when Trump out
during the debate, right, sure,and that's what, that's what
they should do.
They should do so even when,when, like trump, actually said
something back in the day.
You remember, that's why hethey fact-checked like, nah,
you're fucking, they were likeoh, biden or the other opponent
would fact-check you mean?
Speaker 3 (18:25):
yeah, and that's how he was like yeah, this time
biden was like, uh, well, yeah,that was a whole nother thing,
but the moderators should alwaysbe the fact checkers If the
opponents want to double backand say well, actually I
disagree with this because thatthey can.
They were playing it safe, butthat's a problem.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Yeah, the moderator's job this time wasn't.
I mean, we got to think aboutit like this that wasn't an
official debate.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
No, it wasn't so.
It was a CNN debate.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It was set up to get ratings, the idea behind it is,
they were just going to let themdo what they were going to do?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
They were just going to give them a platform.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Let them talk and then go from there.
So, whatever Trump said, hey,you can fact check it later.
Whatever Biden said, hey, youcan fact check it later.
But the idea, like I said, theidea behind it was it was more
set up for ratings.
It was so horrible.
Like I said, the idea behind itwas it was more set up for
ratings.
It was so horrible.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
I think it was really bad for America because you
have a candidate who's literallyrun on fake news and then
you're not actively checking him.
The dude is Bouting things thatare fake and then he's saying
slurs and then you got Biden,who is just the reality is.
He's not where he was fouryears ago.
Exactly and honestly.
(19:35):
The Democratic Party has notdone a good job of showing what
other candidates it has, becauseit has younger people in it,
young candidates who are inelected positions, who are even
in the Biden administration.
That would do a better job.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Or even like not to say that they're going to have
to be the president to replaceBiden, but just as a selling
point, like if you vote forBiden even if he becomes unable
to be president anymore, you'vegot so and so at this position,
so and so at this positionconfidence in the ticket even if
you don't have confidence inhim as the president who's the
current one.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You know he's talking about the vice president should
have stepped her game up.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Well, not even that she should have stepped her game
up, but like the party shouldhave been, like yo.
You are going to be a veryimportant thing for the next
election.
Let's give you some good thingsto do from a PR standpoint,
where people are going to knowwhat you're doing.
They're going to have goodhighlights and then be able to
have confidence in you whereit's like there hasn't really.
The party didn't do its job.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
It didn't elevate Kamala the way they should have,
or just the actual DemocraticParty.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I don't think the party backed Biden the way they
needed to back Biden.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
But at the same time, like we said, we don't really
know if Biden is in a positionthat another four years is going
to be, beneficial to not evenjust us, to him, yeah, yeah,
because like on top of that,it's like you got Pete Buttigieg
, who's a young guy I mean, he'sgot to be in his like mid 40s
or something.
He's part of the administration, like like you've got young
(21:05):
blood in the ticket, you know,like, but they're not doing the
greatest job of highlightingthat it's all about biden.
And like, yes, I get he's theface of the ticket, but like no,
he's not well, the the mainthing with him.
I don't want that face well,the bad, the bad side is he's
old, he's really old.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
He's the oldest president ever if he was elected
.
No, so you gotta also like youknow highlight After.
I saw him like the highlightswhen he was like they did the
Kirk Franklin and they weredoing a little thing and he was
in the concert and everybody'sdancing and he's sitting there
like oh, what's happening, likeit was scary, like everybody's
(21:46):
moving except him.
He's just like Like everybody'smoving except him.
He's just like I don't want tofall, or there's a lot of black
people around me.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's bad, it was really bad.
It was bad, yeah, it was bad.
I mean, and yeah, how can wefeel confident in that gentleman
?
I mean, even though thatgentleman's not going to be the
one going across nations makingdeals?
and talking to people, but howcan we deal with that when the
(22:16):
rest of the world is strugglingor going through shit?
Think of what the rest of theworld might look at us as dude
to a reality star racist.
A reality star racist.
To to a one of the oldestgentlemen ever to, potentially,
(22:37):
but have another four years ofone of the oldest gentlemen ever
like, but again don't trump thesame age.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So like it's.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Yeah, he's only two or three years younger than
biden, yeah, so either one ofthem, it's a historic election
because either one of them well,last year was going to be last
term was going to be the oldestpresident in us history ever and
again.
Like modern medicine, peoplelive longer than they did back
in like 1800s and whatnot, sothat's a factor, but also just
everyone is old, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Like even the old thing like carrying us like amer
America, carrying themselves asa powerhouse, is so bad now
Like we're relying on othercountries to be a powerhouse now
because of the way we carryourselves internal you know what
I'm saying Like we're battlingstupid racism.
We're battling stupid likepolitics or financial situations
(23:27):
that like they're looking at uslike yeah, these motherfuckers
are just like clowns, andespecially now the debate, when
they get like all right, who'sgoing to represent them?
And they're laughing like okay,well, this is laughable.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
But that's what I'm saying.
So you got a situation whereyou're looking at two old guys,
one, like I said, falling asleepon stage, the other one trying
to lie his ass off while talkingabout golf or distract us while
talking like he was talkinganything to the to get clickbait
like he was literally trying tosay things like it was like
(24:01):
nothing like that.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
The question would be this.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
And he was like well, I'm gonna say something hateful
and say I'm better than thisguy and I'm like and that's
that's where the moderatorsagain this should be a real
thing where they're like if youdon't answer the question, then
they cut your mic off or theyinterrupt you and redirect you.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
No, before they were like all right, that's not the
question, that wasn't thequestion.
How about I answer this?
And then they're like you havetwo more seconds or two more
minutes to answer the right.
They're so scared of DonaldTrump's tweets or like going
back at him.
They did like you know what?
I'm just gonna sit back and let, I guess, social media pick
(24:41):
their situation, and that's sobad and that's the worst because
people are in the age ofinformation, everywhere it's so
stupid.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Everyone is either stupid or willingly ignorant, or
just ignorant, or it takes toomuch time to unpack.
If you got one person spewinglies and that's unchecked in
real time, everyone's thinkingit's real, then you have to have
someone convince you of whatyou just heard is not real and
then you have to take the timeto look it up and figure out the
(25:11):
truth where.
That's where the moderatorshould be like no, you can't say
that because that's not true.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
There's a lot of sheep not enough exactly, but
it's it's hard to be aware we'regonna keep going about this
shit and we're not that kind ofpocket I was like yo, I want to
keep, keep.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
No, I chimed in a little bit, but I was just like.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
These guys love their politics man, like we just get
into the rabbit hole on politicsand we start going.
I'm getting caught up into itbecause I love it.
I live in a DMV that we have tobe involved.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
DMV.
I love it because it's like oneof the only times Mark gets
passionate.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
God, you can kind of see where his heart is, besides
his beats.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
But anywho All right, there goes our anywho.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
The anywho.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
