Five seemingly innocent traits can transform your coworker from just another colleague into something far more formidable—a workplace "mob boss." Drawing from his experiences with the enigmatic Cole, Michael Gillespie unveils how ordinary workplace dynamics can mirror the classic power structures of mafia movies.
The fascinating character study begins with Cole's perfect cover—a genuinely loving, supportive family that masks her tremendous influence within the workplace hierarchy. As Michael recounts with equal parts humor and disbelief, this seemingly normal elder care worker commanded loyalty from her "enforcer" "Beatrice" while maintaining an uncanny network of connections throughout Hamilton that left him perpetually astonished.
What truly elevates this workplace drama is the intense rivalry between Cole and fellow employee Ichigo. Their passive-aggressive social media warfare and workplace confrontations placed Michael squarely in the crossfire as manager, culminating in the infamous "bacon and mayonnaise sandwich incident" that no amount of HR intervention could have prevented.
Most chilling of all was Cole's ability to never forget a perceived slight. Years after disciplining her for attendance issues during family emergencies, she still reminds Michael of these "betrayals"—even offering to slash tires to help collect money owed to him by someone else. The episode masterfully blends humor with genuine insights into workplace politics that anyone who's navigated office drama will recognize.
Whether you're dealing with your own workplace "crime boss" or simply enjoy stories of bizarre professional dynamics, this episode offers both entertainment and a framework for understanding the unwritten rules governing our work relationships. Have you ever worked with someone who commanded this level of influence? Listen now and join the conversation about the secret mob bosses hiding in plain sight at workplaces everywhere!

This was a random hit that Idon't know.
(02:11):
I don't know this guy.
I couldn't identify him in aline if he did something wrong,
but he hit me up and I wanted toshare this with you guys,
especially on the podcast.
So here we go, he goes.
Hey man, sorry, this is weird,but I'm the new guy at one of
your old places.
I was wondering what happened toyou.
I heard stories, but I waswondering if I can get the
(02:31):
source.
Get back to me, if you want.
I'd appreciate it, though I'mlike well, what do you mean?
Because you know I've beenaround the block, I've been
around different facilities.
I need to know what exactlyyou're talking about so
eventually I find out where he'stalking about.
He's talking about one of myfavorite locations, right?
He goes on to say I want toknow about the whole firing
situation.
He's talking about my dealingswith boo-boo the fool it's.
(02:57):
It's all on the podcast.
It's documented, as you wellknow.
It's in there in multipleepisodes as this whole story has
been told, which is why I don'tgo there.
And I said, bro, bro, I saidit's all there.
He said, yeah, heard my fault,I just wanted to get the story.
I was like that's cool.
You know I ain't mad at you.
You know I'm saying, but it'sall there on the podcast.
(03:20):
You can find what episodes this, that and the other.
So I was like, well, uh, sinceyou're new and I'm not there, no
more, who brought it up?
So we were talking about theold cooks and managers there and
your name got thrown out.
They said by the way, peoplemiss you here and yet you remind
them of Kevin Hart.
I said, man, I was like I'veheard that before.
(03:41):
Trust me, I have.
First of all, I've.
I've heard that before.
Trust me, I have.
First of all, I have a podcast,kevin Hart, don't he ain't
think that funny?
I think I'm funnier than KevinHart, but he just got more money
to me.
So there you go Funny jokes andall that good stuff.
So, yeah, so now I reply back.
It makes sense.
Now it's been almost almost aand you know I appreciate people
(04:02):
still thinking of me in thathigh regard he says.
He goes on to say so.
I had to bring up old memories,just intrigued by the whole
thing.
For what it's worth, thepodcast is fire and you have a
real talent for that.
And I was like, oh hey, yes,sir, I'll take that, I will take
(04:23):
that.
Thank you for the kind words.
And I just said man, man,you're good bro.
I said, um, regardless, Iappreciate the kind words, but
it's all in there and everything.
So I'm glad that people couldlisten to the podcast and uh,
give me, you know, kudos todoing what I do and everything.
And lately I've been having fundoing it again.
Again.
(04:43):
I had some weird spaces inbetween the um about a year ago
this year onward, because youknow I didn't, I was
shell-shocked, you know I wasshell-shocked in what I can and
can't say and everything.
There's just sometimeseverything's not covered in a
handbook.
So you know, understand, youknow lessons learned and all
(05:04):
that stuff and dealing withpeople and all that stuff.
To this day I don't think I didnothing wrong.
I don't, you know, I didn't.
Like I said before, if you armyourself with the truth, what do
you, what do you need a shieldfor?
But regardless of that, I doappreciate the kind words,
appreciate you listen to thepodcast and you know I'm just
gonna keep doing me and keepdoing having fun and all that
(05:27):
good stuff.
But speaking of the podcast, aquestion came up with another
fan who or I guess a member or Idon't know an audience member
who enjoys the podcast.
It's like mike, what?
Like I know you and you tellfunny stories, you know wherever
you go and everything.
So why aren't you doing video?
(05:47):
I said video like a videopodcast.
I said, yeah.
He said he goes on to say likeall the shorts, the reels, the
TikToks and everything.
You see people doing a videopodcast and I'm like yo, that's
a good idea.
And he's like why don't youthink about it?
I said, well, I don't even knowwhere to start with that.
(06:08):
I enjoy doing this and and onething that you guys don't see is
like all the times I mess upand everything and then, granted
, I wouldn't put out a videopodcast, um, without editing.
Right again, I haven't like.
When I first started doing this,I was not editing anything.
So I'm surprised how well someof it holds some of it, not all
(06:30):
of it.
But editing is what's themonster here?
Is this the one that takes allthe time?
I'll do the podcast and I editthe podcast and then put it out
there.
But you gotta understand that'salmost two hours of work and or
more depending on how I go.
That's why I try to keep theseshort.
So I try to keep these under 25minutes, because it's 25
(06:51):
minutes of recording, 25 minutesor more I say I actually say
double it, so it's 50 minutes ofediting and then you put it out
there for the world to enjoy.
But the idea of going videosounds fun, it sounds amazing to
me.
But you got to see, you have tosee the studio.
(07:12):
The studio is a little cramped.
I'm not even going to lie.
I got, if I look at here, I gota warped water warped desk here
that is just full of paper andmanga books and figurines and
worn out shelves and everything.
I got my lamp.
I got a refrigerator in here.
Then I got the podcast roomposters, you name it.
(07:35):
It's in here along with spidersand the webs.
Okay, I'm in the basement,people understand where I'm at.
So the idea of going videowhile is enticing.
I gotta make it look good.
You know I'm not gonna put notrash out there for you guys to
eat and everything.
So, uh, as far as video, let'sput that as a tbd to be
(07:58):
determined, hopefully for thenear future.
And you know, I gotta do myresearch, find out, you know,
lighting, uh, video equipmentand all that good stuff.
But, um, tbd to be determined.
And another friend of mine,another associate of mine, um,
they, they said why don't youhave a separate page for the
(08:21):
podcast?
And I was like yo, I don't know, because I just advertised, not
advertised, just spread theword out through my Instagram,
my Facebook and that's it.
It's just like, well, if you doit separately, you just you,
just you're just leaving moneyon the floor by not doing it
separately.
I was like what do you mean she?
And she told me.
She told me that you know, Igot my nail business and I'm
doing my nail thing.
I'm, you know, I'm somewhatsuccessful and I'm building, I'm
(08:42):
doing my nail thing.
I'm, you know, I'm somewhatsuccessful and I'm building, I'm
building a clientele.
I said, dang go.
I said I need to do the samething, because why not, you know
?
So I got plans.
I got plans for co-host, plansfor video and plans to do its
own social media account for theWDYM.
But regardless of that,regardless of everything I plan,
(09:05):
I could not be where I amwithout the people that
constantly listen to me, thatgive me the advice, listen to
the podcast.
Without you guys, there's no me.
So again, thank you, thank youfor listening to me.
Yammer yammer, yammer, yammer,thank you, thank you, thank you
(09:25):
for listening to me.
Yammer, yammer, yammer, yammer,thank you, thank you, thank you
.
So, without further ado, thatis the intro, so let's get to
the main story.
Today, the main story is rulesof a mob boss.
Now you may be thinking likewhat in the world are you
talking about?
Michael, you know a mob boss inOhio.
(09:45):
Yes, there are mob bosses orbossettes or whatever you want
to call it.
I have come across somebody whois a genuine mob boss, so I'm
going to break this down intothe.
I got five rules, okay, for amob boss and how she fits it.
(10:06):
Now, before I tell the story ofCole, I have to set the mood.
I got to set the mood.
So therefore, you understandexactly when I'm coming from.
You got to have the Italian mobmusic in back.
When you're talking about themob, okay, and I'm talking about
Cole, we're going to call itCole for this situation.
(10:28):
These are the five rules Of amob boss, right, and these are
all the things I've discoveredthrough coal.
But first and foremost, themusic is brought to you by
pinegroovenet, pinegroovenet.
Anytime you want Some freemusic, that's not gonna get you
(10:49):
in trouble.
You can probably find it onpine groove dot net.
They don't have no slogan.
I didn't see a slogan.
So the free shout out, publicservice announcement get your
music from pine groove dot net,okay.
So the rules.
I've noticed witnessing Cole.
Five rules now.
Rule number one you gotta havea nice cover In Cole's situation
(11:12):
.
It's her family.
Cole's family is really nice.
Okay, let me get that out.
The way I used to work withCole and her cousin, right, and
there's such a divide betweenCole and the cousin.
The cousin, cousin, nice girl,just yappy all sometimes you
(11:32):
know.
But overall she was a nice girland so was Cole.
Cole was a nice.
Nice is I don't mean to say wasis a nice person.
Let me get that.
First and foremost, cole is anice person, hard worker, and
the family, they're all nice.
They would come into thefacility sometimes and she'd be
like, hey, aunt joy or auntalice or whoever they were like
(11:54):
how you doing?
And they come around, hey, cole, how you doing, didn't know you
were working here and they justchit, chat, chat, chat.
And then I get chit chat withthem and they just like, oh my
god, they're just really nicepeople.
Yeah, that's my family, they'renice.
You know, they're good people.
Okay, cole, calm down, they'rejust good people.
Her family was just good peopleGot a cover story.
(12:17):
You were my boss on the side,but you got a good family Goes
with most crime, italian crimemovies.
You see they all family eatingspaghetti around the table.
I think that's the case in this, in this situation.
Right, so she has a nice family.
Number two, she has loyalfriends.
(12:40):
She does, and it really was,and she had this.
I'm gonna call her the enforcer, her muscle, so to speak,
because every crime boss hasmuscle.
Beatrice.
Beatrice and her used to worktogether At a certain facility
that I used to frequent with, ifyou get what I'm saying.
When I came back to workingthere, she rolled up on me.
(13:05):
She said, hey, I know you.
I said how do you know me?
She said I know you.
You're Michael Gillespie.
She said, hey, I know you.
I said how you know me?
She said I know you, you'remichael gillespie.
I said, okay, I mean, you know,I've been here in hamilton
almost all my life.
You know that might be expected.
I was, you know, semi-popular.
I was a comedian.
You know people like you knowlike jokes and all that stuff,
and I was like you know, well, Iwork here now.
This is cool, I work here nowand that's my best friend,
(13:27):
beatrice.
I said, okay, beatrice, she was.
She was a.
She had a Dominating persona, soto speak.
I don't know how to word itcarefully.
It's just that she had such aPresence on her that she gave
off that loyalty Crime bossFriend, so to speak.
Beatrice was on her, that shegave off that loyalty crime boss
(13:49):
friend, so to speak.
Beatrice was, she wasn't one toplay with, she didn't have
jokes, she did almost everythingthat Cole did, but in a grimier
type way, so to speak, but notreally if you think of Cole as a
crime boss, she's the enforcer.
She's out in the streetsbeating up people.
(14:09):
Where's my money at.
Where's the money at?
Cole needs her money.
Quit playing.
I'm gonna beat you up.
And that's the way Beatriceacted.
On top of that, beatrice wasnot about well, she was about
that life again.
We at work working for theelderly, but she up here doing
(14:32):
her thing on the side.
Big time enforcer, friendloyalty.
That was Beatrice.
That's rule number two.
Rule number three connections.
I have never.
That's rule number two.
Rule number three Connections.
(14:55):
I have never met someone who ismore connected than Cole was.
Again, when I first came back,she automatically knew who I was
.
I'm like that's weird becauseI've had very limited
interactions with her.
The only interaction we had wasa former boyfriend.
She used to date that we usedto play baseball with.
That's the only knownconnection I have Of Cole.
Right, like that's the only wayI know of her, but she knew
(15:21):
Almost a lot about me.
She's like aren't you MichaelGillespie?
I said, yeah, so didn't youused to work here before?
I said, yeah, I did.
Maybe they't you used to workhere before.
I said, yeah, I did.
You know, maybe they talkedabout that, you know, all right.
She's like hey, didn't you usedto live off 12th street?
I said, well, dang, how'd youknow that so well?
I got my ways used to driveChevy Malibu, didn't you?
(15:50):
Gold color.
I said, oh my god, I don'tdrive that anymore and I didn't
used to drive that before.
How'd you know that?
It's like it's my job to knowthat stuff.
Oh okay, I'm terrified becauseshe knows so much in so little
time.
I'm like, okay, all right, I'mgonna test her.
I'm gonna test her, see if sheknows, if she has all this
(16:11):
knowledge.
Where's she getting all thisknowledge from?
I know I know she's.
I know I've been in Hamiltonmost of my life.
I don't think she's leftHamilton.
I mean and that's no knock onher, you know?
Hey, again, I don't want notrouble, boss.
Lady, you know, if you hear this, you know I ain't even using
your real name, cole, so I'mlike Cole, do you know?
(16:32):
You know Jaquan, on 4th street.
He said Jaquan.
I said yeah, jaquan.
I said dang, how'd you know?
He said yeah, me and him, weused to hang out back in the day
.
I said, oh, dang, you knoweverybody, don't you?
He said yeah, pretty much.
I said, oh, dang, you knoweverybody, don't you?
She said yeah, pretty much.
I said, okay, let me go.
Let me, let me try some, some,some Caucasian friends.
(16:54):
Let me see, how about Jake fromState Farm?
He said do you know Jake?
I said, man, do I know Jake?
I gave him that, that monologue.
I gave him that little nickname, jake from State Farm.
I was like, oh yeah, I saiddang, you know him.
So yeah, I said, she said Mike,I know everybody.
I said dang, you know everybody.
Huh, I'm getting mad nowbecause I think I know everybody
(17:16):
.
Yeah, I know everybody.
I said how about Jay Boogie onMiddletown and the projects on
the west side?
Do you know Jay Boogie?
She said, man, jay Boogieogie,you mean boogaloo?
I said dang.
She said yeah, I know j boogie.
We used to hang out a long timeago.
She knew everybody.
I said let me pull up hisinformation.
(17:37):
I'm getting mad.
Pull up his information on yourphone, I want to see it.
And sure enough, she scrolled acouple times.
Bam, he's right there.
I said man, this is crazy.
I can't believe.
She is well connected.
She has a network of peoplewell connected.
Everybody knows Cole and Coleknows everybody.
(17:58):
She's well connected.
Which brings me to point four.
Every crime boss has a rival.
You may be like who, who intheir right mind will go against
Cole.
Because right now I'm terrified.
I really should stop thepodcast right now because she
(18:19):
hears that she's going to comeafter me.
But no, I'm not a rival, I'mjust a spectator.
She has a rivalry againstsomebody she's known again
because she's well connectedfrom back in the day.
So when she came to my facilityand I tell Ichigo say Ichigo,
(18:44):
cole's coming to work here, he'slike, oh, that's cool, I can
dig it.
I said okay.
And so I'm thinking I got agood staff of cooks, I got a
good staff of servers, Ishouldn't have no problems.
Right and wrong, ichigo andCole started hating on each
(19:09):
other and I don't.
To this day.
To this day, I do not know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why the pay, Idon't know why.
And they were causing me somuch stress and I don't
understand.
Like we're just here to servepeople food, why are you guys
(19:31):
beefing?
It would all start With a cellphone.
The one weakness Cole has Isthat she loves her cell phone,
but mostly everybody does inthis generation.
This generation cannot beseparated from their cell phone.
We know that If you observe ateenager, you observe a young
adult, you observe a middle agedadult, you notice there's a
(19:55):
cell phone.
So I guess one point he got madcause I guess Cole was taking
her time on the phone, clickety,click, click, click, sending
messages and stuff.
Well, ichigo went his route toget under her skin and fight her
.
Allegedly I'm going to use thatword a lot allegedly, right, so
(20:19):
allegedly.
There was a Facebook post thatIchigo made and it would seem
that he's going after Cole in asubliminal type of way.
I can't control people'sFacebooks.
She would come to me nextmorning like hey, did you see
(20:42):
what Ichigo is saying about me?
I said crime boss, cole, Idon't scroll through Facebook of
my employees.
I'm lying, uh, so I don't knowwhat he said.
I'm lying again, so I'm like Idon't know.
So I scroll to see what Ichigosaid and possibly it could have
(21:09):
been about Cole talking aboutcell phone usage.
You know you need to focus onyour job.
Get off your daggone phone.
Again, the message does not sayanything about Cole specifically
and Cole's getting mad.
She's getting mad.
She's getting mad like a yo,like red in the face, gotta take
(21:33):
a breather.
Type mad.
I'm like yo.
This is crazy cause I mean Ican't control it, he can.
It's freedom of speech.
He can say what he wants.
He's not.
And the thing about it Ichigoknew he knew, he knew that, uh,
whatever he said, if he didn'tname a facility, didn't put a
name on it, anything, it's freegame.
(21:56):
And she's getting pissed.
So I'm like, so I pull it tothe side.
I said look, cole, there's noname on it.
I can't, I can't hold no waterbecause there's no name on,
there's no name on it.
I can't hold no water becausethere's no name on it.
There's no facility.
He's like, but you know he'stalking about me.
I said, possibly I'm the man,I'm just the man in the middle
for this situation, I don't know.
(22:17):
Okay, okay, I got him.
And so it went back and forth toa point where, you know, they
going back and forth, living,these subliminal jabs at each
other.
I'm in the middle, I can't doanything at all.
So she goes in on, I think, hishair, cause I guess you know he
(22:41):
did this, this, you know, rootstyle, like a little nappy style
, and then he's like yeah, hishair super nappy today, going in
on the hair.
I'm like yo, this is crazy.
And he's like she's going in onhim too.
So they go on back and forth.
I'm like look man, I don't knowwhat y'all want me to do.
So what do I do?
(23:02):
I go?
I go to Nate and I gotta stopthe music Cause Nate's super
nice Nate is a nice guy, right.
So I'm to Nate and I got tostop the music because Nate's
super nice Nate is a nice guy,right.
So I'm like Nate, nate, help me.
He's like well, what do youwant me to do about it, michael?
I'm like yo, these.
And I'm telling him to give himthe background.
And he's like all right, well,I will go contact HR and I will
(23:25):
get back to you.
All right, I go contact HR andI will get back to you.
I think I'm getting an answer.
So cue the music back on.
So while he's doing the goingthe same route thing, they're
going back and forth again andthis time again attacking on the
Facebook with these subliminaljabs.
(23:45):
He's like yeah, well, you know,just going in on.
Going in on her like right,going in on her, like she's not
a real crime, boss.
I'm like, oh lord, like whathave I gotten myself into?
And then she pulls me.
So I said, mike, if he keepsthis up, I'm gonna have my dad
come.
I said, whoa.
(24:06):
So if my dad comes, it's gonnawhoa.
I said if my dad comes, it'sgoing to be some trouble,
because ain't he says and shewas going ain't no man supposed
to be talking about a woman inthat nature?
I said you know what You'reright.
Normally we don't do that.
However, this is a situation.
I don't know why you two aregoing at each other.
(24:26):
I'm praying for Nate to comeback with some answers from HR.
This is getting ridiculous.
So they're going back and forthand then Nate comes back.
Got to turn the music offbecause it's ain't mafia time.
Nate's like well, michael, Ican't do anything about it.
Ichigo is playing by the rules,he's not mentioning no names
(24:49):
and you just got to keep going.
Cole Under control, becauseshe's going crazy too, going up
the chain and everything.
So I would get Brief periods Ofpeace Until Nicole has some
real situations Happening.
(25:10):
Mainly back to rule number oneHer family, her family, her
elderly Parts of her family, herfamily, her elderly parts of
her family.
They started to decline inhealth, as we all do, and this
is the part where everythingspiraled out of control per se.
(25:31):
One of her family members wasdeclining and it was one of the
centerpieces of her family,right, and it was taking a toll
on her.
Like, again, the thing aboutCole is Cole is a hard worker,
(25:52):
she's loyal, hard working, yo, Ithink.
I think high of cold.
Then this happened and shestarted losing control, and
rightfully so.
Again, the thing about mybosses is that their family
(26:14):
number one rules family, familyconnected and everything.
So that was happening.
Then another family member, heruncle, was having medical
issues and she was missing work,right.
So as the manager, I got to dowhat I'm supposed to do, right.
So she's missing work, comingin late.
(26:35):
You know where I'm supposed todo, right, so she's missing work
, coming in late.
You know where I'm going withthis.
I gotta start writing things up, writing points up and
everything.
And she completely goes ham,ham on everybody, right.
So again, I gotta do my thing,right.
(26:56):
And again, before anythinghappened, me and Cole, we tight,
you know, cover, work, work, noproblems, right?
Well, one day she's eating abacon and mayonnaise sandwich,
right, eating a bacon andmayonnaise sandwich.
I'm going.
And then I was like, hey, Igotta talk, to talk to you.
You know, this is what'shappening.
(27:17):
And she's like, she gets mad atme.
She's like, oh yeah, like thattime you pointed me when my
grandfather Was having medicalissues and she's chewing the
bacon sandwich, she's finishedeating that and she throws the
(27:39):
bacon and mayonnaise sandwichand it hits me right in my face,
bam, and she storms off Withher non-sock wearing self.
Right.
Mayonnaise and grease from thebacon Are all in my face.
I can't believe she done threwthat Half eaten Bacon and
(27:59):
mayonnaise sandwich In my face.
I said, oh, oh, I'm ready tofight, I'm ready to fight, I'm
gonna get you dog.
And then I go to the back andshe is unconsolable.
She's crying, crying andeverything is just mounting up
(28:24):
and everything right, and I,this whole time, I'm like this
is crazy, because one, I didn'tsign up for this.
I'm just supposed to be amanager, not a counselor, a
referee, a Facebook checker.
You know, I'm just here toserve food and serve as fast as
I can.
I'm not here for all that.
(28:44):
So all this pressure wasmounting on her.
And then, on top of that, hergrandmother started having
health issues and that was thefinal straw.
It's just too much for her.
She eventually left thefacility.
Right, that happens, and it'slike, you know, we finally get
(29:08):
some peace, then the stuffhappens with Boo Boo the Fool,
then I'm gone and all that stuff, so that, and then you know,
know, that's her rivalry To thisday.
They both go.
Ichigo is in another place, coleis in another, happier place.
I'm in a different place.
She will text me randomly.
(29:29):
She's like guess what?
Guess what, mike?
I said what's up, cole, how youdoing?
Guess who?
I saw.
I said who's up, cole, how youdoing?
He's like guess who?
I saw.
I said who.
I already know who he's like.
Yeah, I saw Ichigo walkingsomewhere else.
I beat my horn and turned aroundand said something to him.
I said why would you do that?
Because I don't forget, whichbrings me to number five, never
(29:54):
forgetting slash revenge.
Right, like I said, she droveby Ichigo, said something out
the door, out the window, to himabout him walking or something
Whatever, and then he was onFacebook talking mess to each
other.
It was a crazy thing, but Colenever forgets this is the last
(30:19):
thing To being a successfulcrime boss.
They don't forget.
The reason why I say that Isbecause, again, this was about a
year ago, a year or so ago, andto this day she still reminds
me that.
I gave her points when herfamily was having all these
(30:39):
events that you still remember.
I still remember you gave mepoints when my grandfather was
having all these situations.
I was like I said, cole, crimeboss.
I said I couldn't help it, Ihad to do what I had to do.
So, yeah, I don't forget.
I don't forget, michael, it'sokay, I don't know what you're
trying to do.
You gonna put a hit on me.
You gonna bring the enforcerback.
I said I was just doing my job,crying boss.
(31:00):
I said yeah, okay, again, Ibrought up the Venmo PSA.
She told me a long time agodon't do that.
She said Mike, don't do that,she's not gonna do, she's not
gonna do the honorable thing.
I said, come on, cole, you knowher, we know her, and she's
gonna, she's gonna give you,she's gonna, she's gonna do me
(31:21):
right.
Say okay, okay, okay, michael,keep it up, keep it up to this
day.
Not a dime, not a dime.
She's right, she don't forget.
And then she said you know,let's make her give her the
money.
I said, well, now I'minterested.
What you mean, she's like yo,you know where she's at, I can
(31:44):
find out.
I said, cole, you know, I mean,I know where she's at, but you
know I'm not trying to, no, Ijust politely Sit by the
sidelines, wait for her to chimein.
I said, oh, that's right, I doowe Michael money.
I said, nah, nah, we ain'tdoing that.
So let's go slash them tires.
I said no, cole, no, cole,we're not doing that.
(32:07):
He said you sure we can putsome sugar in the tank, I said
Cole.
I said, man, it's time for youto pay up.
I told you we could do thisRight now.
So, cole, we ain't about thatlife, we just gonna Sit by and
patiently wait like a goodCitizen and wait for the money,
(32:29):
okay, so, okay, michael, yougonna be broke, so you ain't
getting that money back.
And I sit here today hopingthat my message gets through
subliminally.
But those are the rules of thecrime, boss, especially with
cole in mind nice family, loyalfriends, staying well connected,
(32:54):
having rivals and neverforgetting.
That's Cole in a nutshell.
And I do this out of love.
I mean I really really do,because, again, cole is a
character and you know you don'texpect to be with people that
again are kind of the same mindframe, like-mindedness, hard
(33:17):
working and everything.
And uh, cole is that outside ofworking together.
We've talked and you know she'sgood people, despite the crime,
the crime boss syndicate thatshe's in.
Um, she's good people and thisis why I do things like this,
just to give them their flowersand everything.
Speaking of flowers, don't giveme none when you put me in a
(33:40):
grave crime boss, because Idon't want that beef, I don't
want to be Ichigo.
You know, that was that's.
That's the funny stuff rightthere.
But either way, either way.
Either way, that way, eitherway.
That's the show.
I love that one.
(34:00):
I did this one before, but thenI tried to edit it and somehow
it all got corrupt andeverything.
So yeah, that's the rules ofthe crime boss starring Cole.

Anywho, got hit randomly earlierthis week, a couple weeks back,
actually Random person.
This was a random hit that Idon't know.
(02:11):
I don't know this guy.
I couldn't identify him in aline if he did something wrong,
but he hit me up and I wanted toshare this with you guys,
especially on the podcast.
So here we go, he goes.
Hey man, sorry, this is weird,but I'm the new guy at one of
your old places.
I was wondering what happened toyou.
I heard stories, but I waswondering if I can get the
(02:31):
source.
Get back to me, if you want.
I'd appreciate it, though I'mlike well, what do you mean?
Because you know I've beenaround the block, I've been
around different facilities.
I need to know what exactlyyou're talking about so
eventually I find out where he'stalking about.
He's talking about one of myfavorite locations, right?
He goes on to say I want toknow about the whole firing
situation.
He's talking about my dealingswith boo-boo the fool it's.
(02:57):
It's all on the podcast.
It's documented, as you wellknow.
It's in there in multipleepisodes as this whole story has
been told, which is why I don'tgo there.
And I said, bro, bro, I saidit's all there.
He said, yeah, heard my fault,I just wanted to get the story.
I was like that's cool.
You know I ain't mad at you.
You know I'm saying, but it'sall there on the podcast.
(03:20):
You can find what episodes this, that and the other.
So I was like, well, uh, sinceyou're new and I'm not there, no
more, who brought it up?
So we were talking about theold cooks and managers there and
your name got thrown out.
They said by the way, peoplemiss you here and yet you remind
them of Kevin Hart.
I said, man, I was like I'veheard that before.
(03:41):
Trust me, I have.
First of all, I've.
I've heard that before.
Trust me, I have.
First of all, I have a podcast,kevin Hart, don't he ain't
think that funny?
I think I'm funnier than KevinHart, but he just got more money
to me.
So there you go Funny jokes andall that good stuff.
So, yeah, so now I reply back.
It makes sense.
Now it's been almost almost aand you know I appreciate people
(04:02):
still thinking of me in thathigh regard he says.
He goes on to say so.
I had to bring up old memories,just intrigued by the whole
thing.
For what it's worth, thepodcast is fire and you have a
real talent for that.
And I was like, oh hey, yes,sir, I'll take that, I will take
(04:23):
that.
Thank you for the kind words.
And I just said man, man,you're good bro.
I said, um, regardless, Iappreciate the kind words, but
it's all in there and everything.
So I'm glad that people couldlisten to the podcast and uh,
give me, you know, kudos todoing what I do and everything.
And lately I've been having fundoing it again.
Again.
(04:43):
I had some weird spaces inbetween the um about a year ago
this year onward, because youknow I didn't, I was
shell-shocked, you know I wasshell-shocked in what I can and
can't say and everything.
There's just sometimeseverything's not covered in a
handbook.
So you know, understand, youknow lessons learned and all
(05:04):
that stuff and dealing withpeople and all that stuff.
To this day I don't think I didnothing wrong.
I don't, you know, I didn't.
Like I said before, if you armyourself with the truth, what do
you, what do you need a shieldfor?
But regardless of that, I doappreciate the kind words,
appreciate you listen to thepodcast and you know I'm just
gonna keep doing me and keepdoing having fun and all that
(05:27):
good stuff.
But speaking of the podcast, aquestion came up with another
fan who or I guess a member or Idon't know an audience member
who enjoys the podcast.
It's like mike, what?
Like I know you and you tellfunny stories, you know wherever
you go and everything.
So why aren't you doing video?
(05:47):
I said video like a videopodcast.
I said, yeah.
He said he goes on to say likeall the shorts, the reels, the
TikToks and everything.
You see people doing a videopodcast and I'm like yo, that's
a good idea.
And he's like why don't youthink about it?
I said, well, I don't even knowwhere to start with that.
(06:08):
I enjoy doing this and and onething that you guys don't see is
like all the times I mess upand everything and then, granted
, I wouldn't put out a videopodcast, um, without editing.
Right again, I haven't like.
When I first started doing this,I was not editing anything.
So I'm surprised how well someof it holds some of it, not all
(06:30):
of it.
But editing is what's themonster here?
Is this the one that takes allthe time?
I'll do the podcast and I editthe podcast and then put it out
there.
But you gotta understand that'salmost two hours of work and or
more depending on how I go.
That's why I try to keep theseshort.
So I try to keep these under 25minutes, because it's 25
(06:51):
minutes of recording, 25 minutesor more I say I actually say
double it, so it's 50 minutes ofediting and then you put it out
there for the world to enjoy.
But the idea of going videosounds fun, it sounds amazing to
me.
But you got to see, you have tosee the studio.
(07:12):
The studio is a little cramped.
I'm not even going to lie.
I got, if I look at here, I gota warped water warped desk here
that is just full of paper andmanga books and figurines and
worn out shelves and everything.
I got my lamp.
I got a refrigerator in here.
Then I got the podcast roomposters, you name it.
(07:35):
It's in here along with spidersand the webs.
Okay, I'm in the basement,people understand where I'm at.
So the idea of going videowhile is enticing.
I gotta make it look good.
You know I'm not gonna put notrash out there for you guys to
eat and everything.
So, uh, as far as video, let'sput that as a tbd to be
(07:58):
determined, hopefully for thenear future.
And you know, I gotta do myresearch, find out, you know,
lighting, uh, video equipmentand all that good stuff.
But, um, tbd to be determined.
And another friend of mine,another associate of mine, um,
they, they said why don't youhave a separate page for the
(08:21):
podcast?
And I was like yo, I don't know, because I just advertised, not
advertised, just spread theword out through my Instagram,
my Facebook and that's it.
It's just like, well, if you doit separately, you just you,
just you're just leaving moneyon the floor by not doing it
separately.
I was like what do you mean she?
And she told me.
She told me that you know, Igot my nail business and I'm
doing my nail thing.
I'm, you know, I'm somewhatsuccessful and I'm building, I'm
(08:42):
doing my nail thing.
I'm, you know, I'm somewhatsuccessful and I'm building, I'm
building a clientele.
I said, dang go.
I said I need to do the samething, because why not, you know
?
So I got plans.
I got plans for co-host, plansfor video and plans to do its
own social media account for theWDYM.
But regardless of that,regardless of everything I plan,
(09:05):
I could not be where I amwithout the people that
constantly listen to me, thatgive me the advice, listen to
the podcast.
Without you guys, there's no me.
So again, thank you, thank youfor listening to me.
Yammer yammer, yammer, yammer,thank you, thank you, thank you
(09:25):
for listening to me.
Yammer, yammer, yammer, yammer,thank you, thank you, thank you
.
So, without further ado, thatis the intro, so let's get to
the main story.
Today, the main story is rulesof a mob boss.
Now you may be thinking likewhat in the world are you
talking about?
Michael, you know a mob boss inOhio.
(09:45):
Yes, there are mob bosses orbossettes or whatever you want
to call it.
I have come across somebody whois a genuine mob boss, so I'm
going to break this down intothe.
I got five rules, okay, for amob boss and how she fits it.
(10:06):
Now, before I tell the story ofCole, I have to set the mood.
I got to set the mood.
So therefore, you understandexactly when I'm coming from.
You got to have the Italian mobmusic in back.
When you're talking about themob, okay, and I'm talking about
Cole, we're going to call itCole for this situation.
(10:28):
These are the five rules Of amob boss, right, and these are
all the things I've discoveredthrough coal.
But first and foremost, themusic is brought to you by
pinegroovenet, pinegroovenet.
Anytime you want Some freemusic, that's not gonna get you
(10:49):
in trouble.
You can probably find it onpine groove dot net.
They don't have no slogan.
I didn't see a slogan.
So the free shout out, publicservice announcement get your
music from pine groove dot net,okay.
So the rules.
I've noticed witnessing Cole.
Five rules now.
Rule number one you gotta havea nice cover In Cole's situation
(11:12):
.
It's her family.
Cole's family is really nice.
Okay, let me get that out.
The way I used to work withCole and her cousin, right, and
there's such a divide betweenCole and the cousin.
The cousin, cousin, nice girl,just yappy all sometimes you
(11:32):
know.
But overall she was a nice girland so was Cole.
Cole was a nice.
Nice is I don't mean to say wasis a nice person.
Let me get that.
First and foremost, cole is anice person, hard worker, and
the family, they're all nice.
They would come into thefacility sometimes and she'd be
like, hey, aunt joy or auntalice or whoever they were like
(11:54):
how you doing?
And they come around, hey, cole, how you doing, didn't know you
were working here and they justchit, chat, chat, chat.
And then I get chit chat withthem and they just like, oh my
god, they're just really nicepeople.
Yeah, that's my family, they'renice.
You know, they're good people.
Okay, cole, calm down, they'rejust good people.
Her family was just good peopleGot a cover story.
(12:17):
You were my boss on the side,but you got a good family Goes
with most crime, italian crimemovies.
You see they all family eatingspaghetti around the table.
I think that's the case in this, in this situation.
Right, so she has a nice family.
Number two, she has loyalfriends.
(12:40):
She does, and it really was,and she had this.
I'm gonna call her the enforcer, her muscle, so to speak,
because every crime boss hasmuscle.
Beatrice.
Beatrice and her used to worktogether At a certain facility
that I used to frequent with, ifyou get what I'm saying.
When I came back to workingthere, she rolled up on me.
(13:05):
She said, hey, I know you.
I said how do you know me?
She said I know you.
You're Michael Gillespie.
She said, hey, I know you.
I said how you know me?
She said I know you, you'remichael gillespie.
I said, okay, I mean, you know,I've been here in hamilton
almost all my life.
You know that might be expected.
I was, you know, semi-popular.
I was a comedian.
You know people like you knowlike jokes and all that stuff,
and I was like you know, well, Iwork here now.
This is cool, I work here nowand that's my best friend,
(13:27):
beatrice.
I said, okay, beatrice, she was.
She was a.
She had a Dominating persona, soto speak.
I don't know how to word itcarefully.
It's just that she had such aPresence on her that she gave
off that loyalty Crime bossFriend, so to speak.
Beatrice was on her, that shegave off that loyalty crime boss
(13:49):
friend, so to speak.
Beatrice was, she wasn't one toplay with, she didn't have
jokes, she did almost everythingthat Cole did, but in a grimier
type way, so to speak, but notreally if you think of Cole as a
crime boss, she's the enforcer.
She's out in the streetsbeating up people.
(14:09):
Where's my money at.
Where's the money at?
Cole needs her money.
Quit playing.
I'm gonna beat you up.
And that's the way Beatriceacted.
On top of that, beatrice wasnot about well, she was about
that life again.
We at work working for theelderly, but she up here doing
(14:32):
her thing on the side.
Big time enforcer, friendloyalty.
That was Beatrice.
That's rule number two.
Rule number three connections.
I have never.
That's rule number two.
Rule number three Connections.
(14:55):
I have never met someone who ismore connected than Cole was.
Again, when I first came back,she automatically knew who I was
.
I'm like that's weird becauseI've had very limited
interactions with her.
The only interaction we had wasa former boyfriend.
She used to date that we usedto play baseball with.
That's the only knownconnection I have Of Cole.
Right, like that's the only wayI know of her, but she knew
(15:21):
Almost a lot about me.
She's like aren't you MichaelGillespie?
I said, yeah, so didn't youused to work here before?
I said, yeah, I did.
Maybe they't you used to workhere before.
I said, yeah, I did.
You know, maybe they talkedabout that, you know, all right.
She's like hey, didn't you usedto live off 12th street?
I said, well, dang, how'd youknow that so well?
I got my ways used to driveChevy Malibu, didn't you?
(15:50):
Gold color.
I said, oh my god, I don'tdrive that anymore and I didn't
used to drive that before.
How'd you know that?
It's like it's my job to knowthat stuff.
Oh okay, I'm terrified becauseshe knows so much in so little
time.
I'm like, okay, all right, I'mgonna test her.
I'm gonna test her, see if sheknows, if she has all this
(16:11):
knowledge.
Where's she getting all thisknowledge from?
I know I know she's.
I know I've been in Hamiltonmost of my life.
I don't think she's leftHamilton.
I mean and that's no knock onher, you know?
Hey, again, I don't want notrouble, boss.
Lady, you know, if you hear this, you know I ain't even using
your real name, cole, so I'mlike Cole, do you know?
(16:32):
You know Jaquan, on 4th street.
He said Jaquan.
I said yeah, jaquan.
I said dang, how'd you know?
He said yeah, me and him, weused to hang out back in the day
.
I said, oh, dang, you knoweverybody, don't you?
He said yeah, pretty much.
I said, oh, dang, you knoweverybody, don't you?
She said yeah, pretty much.
I said, okay, let me go.
Let me, let me try some, some,some Caucasian friends.
(16:54):
Let me see, how about Jake fromState Farm?
He said do you know Jake?
I said, man, do I know Jake?
I gave him that, that monologue.
I gave him that little nickname, jake from State Farm.
I was like, oh yeah, I saiddang, you know him.
So yeah, I said, she said Mike,I know everybody.
I said dang, you know everybody.
Huh, I'm getting mad nowbecause I think I know everybody
(17:16):
.
Yeah, I know everybody.
I said how about Jay Boogie onMiddletown and the projects on
the west side?
Do you know Jay Boogie?
She said, man, jay Boogieogie,you mean boogaloo?
I said dang.
She said yeah, I know j boogie.
We used to hang out a long timeago.
She knew everybody.
I said let me pull up hisinformation.
(17:37):
I'm getting mad.
Pull up his information on yourphone, I want to see it.
And sure enough, she scrolled acouple times.
Bam, he's right there.
I said man, this is crazy.
I can't believe.
She is well connected.
She has a network of peoplewell connected.
Everybody knows Cole and Coleknows everybody.
(17:58):
She's well connected.
Which brings me to point four.
Every crime boss has a rival.
You may be like who, who intheir right mind will go against
Cole.
Because right now I'm terrified.
I really should stop thepodcast right now because she
(18:19):
hears that she's going to comeafter me.
But no, I'm not a rival, I'mjust a spectator.
She has a rivalry againstsomebody she's known again
because she's well connectedfrom back in the day.
So when she came to my facilityand I tell Ichigo say Ichigo,
(18:44):
cole's coming to work here, he'slike, oh, that's cool, I can
dig it.
I said okay.
And so I'm thinking I got agood staff of cooks, I got a
good staff of servers, Ishouldn't have no problems.
Right and wrong, ichigo andCole started hating on each
(19:09):
other and I don't.
To this day.
To this day, I do not know why.
I don't know why.
I don't know why the pay, Idon't know why.
And they were causing me somuch stress and I don't
understand.
Like we're just here to servepeople food, why are you guys
(19:31):
beefing?
It would all start With a cellphone.
The one weakness Cole has Isthat she loves her cell phone,
but mostly everybody does inthis generation.
This generation cannot beseparated from their cell phone.
We know that If you observe ateenager, you observe a young
adult, you observe a middle agedadult, you notice there's a
(19:55):
cell phone.
So I guess one point he got madcause I guess Cole was taking
her time on the phone, clickety,click, click, click, sending
messages and stuff.
Well, ichigo went his route toget under her skin and fight her
.
Allegedly I'm going to use thatword a lot allegedly, right, so
(20:19):
allegedly.
There was a Facebook post thatIchigo made and it would seem
that he's going after Cole in asubliminal type of way.
I can't control people'sFacebooks.
She would come to me nextmorning like hey, did you see
(20:42):
what Ichigo is saying about me?
I said crime boss, cole, Idon't scroll through Facebook of
my employees.
I'm lying, uh, so I don't knowwhat he said.
I'm lying again, so I'm like Idon't know.
So I scroll to see what Ichigosaid and possibly it could have
(21:09):
been about Cole talking aboutcell phone usage.
You know you need to focus onyour job.
Get off your daggone phone.
Again, the message does not sayanything about Cole specifically
and Cole's getting mad.
She's getting mad.
She's getting mad like a yo,like red in the face, gotta take
(21:33):
a breather.
Type mad.
I'm like yo.
This is crazy cause I mean Ican't control it, he can.
It's freedom of speech.
He can say what he wants.
He's not.
And the thing about it Ichigoknew he knew, he knew that, uh,
whatever he said, if he didn'tname a facility, didn't put a
name on it, anything, it's freegame.
(21:56):
And she's getting pissed.
So I'm like, so I pull it tothe side.
I said look, cole, there's noname on it.
I can't, I can't hold no waterbecause there's no name on,
there's no name on it.
I can't hold no water becausethere's no name on it.
There's no facility.
He's like, but you know he'stalking about me.
I said, possibly I'm the man,I'm just the man in the middle
for this situation, I don't know.
(22:17):
Okay, okay, I got him.
And so it went back and forth toa point where, you know, they
going back and forth, living,these subliminal jabs at each
other.
I'm in the middle, I can't doanything at all.
So she goes in on, I think, hishair, cause I guess you know he
(22:41):
did this, this, you know, rootstyle, like a little nappy style
, and then he's like yeah, hishair super nappy today, going in
on the hair.
I'm like yo, this is crazy.
And he's like she's going in onhim too.
So they go on back and forth.
I'm like look man, I don't knowwhat y'all want me to do.
So what do I do?
(23:02):
I go?
I go to Nate and I gotta stopthe music Cause Nate's super
nice Nate is a nice guy, right.
So I'm to Nate and I got tostop the music because Nate's
super nice Nate is a nice guy,right.
So I'm like Nate, nate, help me.
He's like well, what do youwant me to do about it, michael?
I'm like yo, these.
And I'm telling him to give himthe background.
And he's like all right, well,I will go contact HR and I will
(23:25):
get back to you.
All right, I go contact HR andI will get back to you.
I think I'm getting an answer.
So cue the music back on.
So while he's doing the goingthe same route thing, they're
going back and forth again andthis time again attacking on the
Facebook with these subliminaljabs.
(23:45):
He's like yeah, well, you know,just going in on.
Going in on her like right,going in on her, like she's not
a real crime, boss.
I'm like, oh lord, like whathave I gotten myself into?
And then she pulls me.
So I said, mike, if he keepsthis up, I'm gonna have my dad
come.
I said, whoa.
(24:06):
So if my dad comes, it's gonnawhoa.
I said if my dad comes, it'sgoing to be some trouble,
because ain't he says and shewas going ain't no man supposed
to be talking about a woman inthat nature?
I said you know what You'reright.
Normally we don't do that.
However, this is a situation.
I don't know why you two aregoing at each other.
(24:26):
I'm praying for Nate to comeback with some answers from HR.
This is getting ridiculous.
So they're going back and forthand then Nate comes back.
Got to turn the music offbecause it's ain't mafia time.
Nate's like well, michael, Ican't do anything about it.
Ichigo is playing by the rules,he's not mentioning no names
(24:49):
and you just got to keep going.
Cole Under control, becauseshe's going crazy too, going up
the chain and everything.
So I would get Brief periods Ofpeace Until Nicole has some
real situations Happening.
(25:10):
Mainly back to rule number oneHer family, her family, her
elderly Parts of her family, herfamily, her elderly parts of
her family.
They started to decline inhealth, as we all do, and this
is the part where everythingspiraled out of control per se.
(25:31):
One of her family members wasdeclining and it was one of the
centerpieces of her family,right, and it was taking a toll
on her.
Like, again, the thing aboutCole is Cole is a hard worker,
(25:52):
she's loyal, hard working, yo, Ithink.
I think high of cold.
Then this happened and shestarted losing control, and
rightfully so.
Again, the thing about mybosses is that their family
(26:14):
number one rules family, familyconnected and everything.
So that was happening.
Then another family member, heruncle, was having medical
issues and she was missing work,right.
So as the manager, I got to dowhat I'm supposed to do, right.
So she's missing work, comingin late.
(26:35):
You know where I'm supposed todo, right, so she's missing work
, coming in late.
You know where I'm going withthis.
I gotta start writing things up, writing points up and
everything.
And she completely goes ham,ham on everybody, right.
So again, I gotta do my thing,right.
(26:56):
And again, before anythinghappened, me and Cole, we tight,
you know, cover, work, work, noproblems, right?
Well, one day she's eating abacon and mayonnaise sandwich,
right, eating a bacon andmayonnaise sandwich.
I'm going.
And then I was like, hey, Igotta talk, to talk to you.
You know, this is what'shappening.
(27:17):
And she's like, she gets mad atme.
She's like, oh yeah, like thattime you pointed me when my
grandfather Was having medicalissues and she's chewing the
bacon sandwich, she's finishedeating that and she throws the
(27:39):
bacon and mayonnaise sandwichand it hits me right in my face,
bam, and she storms off Withher non-sock wearing self.
Right.
Mayonnaise and grease from thebacon Are all in my face.
I can't believe she done threwthat Half eaten Bacon and
(27:59):
mayonnaise sandwich In my face.
I said, oh, oh, I'm ready tofight, I'm ready to fight, I'm
gonna get you dog.
And then I go to the back andshe is unconsolable.
She's crying, crying andeverything is just mounting up
(28:24):
and everything right, and I,this whole time, I'm like this
is crazy, because one, I didn'tsign up for this.
I'm just supposed to be amanager, not a counselor, a
referee, a Facebook checker.
You know, I'm just here toserve food and serve as fast as
I can.
I'm not here for all that.
(28:44):
So all this pressure wasmounting on her.
And then, on top of that, hergrandmother started having
health issues and that was thefinal straw.
It's just too much for her.
She eventually left thefacility.
Right, that happens, and it'slike, you know, we finally get
(29:08):
some peace, then the stuffhappens with Boo Boo the Fool,
then I'm gone and all that stuff, so that, and then you know,
know, that's her rivalry To thisday.
They both go.
Ichigo is in another place, coleis in another, happier place.
I'm in a different place.
She will text me randomly.
(29:29):
She's like guess what?
Guess what, mike?
I said what's up, cole, how youdoing?
Guess who?
I saw.
I said who's up, cole, how youdoing?
He's like guess who?
I saw.
I said who.
I already know who he's like.
Yeah, I saw Ichigo walkingsomewhere else.
I beat my horn and turned aroundand said something to him.
I said why would you do that?
Because I don't forget, whichbrings me to number five, never
(29:54):
forgetting slash revenge.
Right, like I said, she droveby Ichigo, said something out
the door, out the window, to himabout him walking or something
Whatever, and then he was onFacebook talking mess to each
other.
It was a crazy thing, but Colenever forgets this is the last
(30:19):
thing To being a successfulcrime boss.
They don't forget.
The reason why I say that Isbecause, again, this was about a
year ago, a year or so ago, andto this day she still reminds
me that.
I gave her points when herfamily was having all these
(30:39):
events that you still remember.
I still remember you gave mepoints when my grandfather was
having all these situations.
I was like I said, cole, crimeboss.
I said I couldn't help it, Ihad to do what I had to do.
So, yeah, I don't forget.
I don't forget, michael, it'sokay, I don't know what you're
trying to do.
You gonna put a hit on me.
You gonna bring the enforcerback.
I said I was just doing my job,crying boss.
(31:00):
I said yeah, okay, again, Ibrought up the Venmo PSA.
She told me a long time agodon't do that.
She said Mike, don't do that,she's not gonna do, she's not
gonna do the honorable thing.
I said, come on, cole, you knowher, we know her, and she's
gonna, she's gonna give you,she's gonna, she's gonna do me
(31:21):
right.
Say okay, okay, okay, michael,keep it up, keep it up to this
day.
Not a dime, not a dime.
She's right, she don't forget.
And then she said you know,let's make her give her the
money.
I said, well, now I'minterested.
What you mean, she's like yo,you know where she's at, I can
(31:44):
find out.
I said, cole, you know, I mean,I know where she's at, but you
know I'm not trying to, no, Ijust politely Sit by the
sidelines, wait for her to chimein.
I said, oh, that's right, I doowe Michael money.
I said, nah, nah, we ain'tdoing that.
So let's go slash them tires.
I said no, cole, no, cole,we're not doing that.
(32:07):
He said you sure we can putsome sugar in the tank, I said
Cole.
I said, man, it's time for youto pay up.
I told you we could do thisRight now.
So, cole, we ain't about thatlife, we just gonna Sit by and
patiently wait like a goodCitizen and wait for the money,
(32:29):
okay, so, okay, michael, yougonna be broke, so you ain't
getting that money back.
And I sit here today hopingthat my message gets through
subliminally.
But those are the rules of thecrime, boss, especially with
cole in mind nice family, loyalfriends, staying well connected,
(32:54):
having rivals and neverforgetting.
That's Cole in a nutshell.
And I do this out of love.
I mean I really really do,because, again, cole is a
character and you know you don'texpect to be with people that
again are kind of the same mindframe, like-mindedness, hard
(33:17):
working and everything.
And uh, cole is that outside ofworking together.
We've talked and you know she'sgood people, despite the crime,
the crime boss syndicate thatshe's in.
Um, she's good people and thisis why I do things like this,
just to give them their flowersand everything.
Speaking of flowers, don't giveme none when you put me in a
(33:40):
grave crime boss, because Idon't want that beef, I don't
want to be Ichigo.
You know, that was that's.
That's the funny stuff rightthere.
But either way, either way.
Either way, that way, eitherway.
That's the show.
I love that one.
(34:00):
I did this one before, but thenI tried to edit it and somehow
it all got corrupt andeverything.
So yeah, that's the rules ofthe crime boss starring Cole.
Thank you for tuning in to theWDYM.
