I mean, you know, we've been good, working shit,
chilling with the fam, you know, the holidays past and shit.
Yeah, how was your holiday?
I mean, it was good.
Me and the kids, home, chilling, watching a little TV.
Let me go outside and shit, you know.
What about you, bro?
Oh, man, you know, I fell back.
I only got a little one, so I'm like an empty nester.

(01:38):
True.
So we just fell back, chill, had a little barbecue
with me, wifey, and the kids.
And then, you know, mom, Duke's birthday just passed.
Rest in peace.
Happy, happy birthday, June the 4th.
Happy birthday.
So, you know, let some balloons go,
had a little cupcake, you know what I mean?
I feel you.

(01:58):
And that's it, man.
So, man, we're about to, you know,
we're going to get into the episode,
but, you know, we're just checking up how was y'all week.
So we want to hear from y'all, man.
How was y'all week?
How do y'all like the podcast so far, you know what I mean?
Yes, please let us know.
Thanks for all the love, though.
Definitely.
And like we said, we got them wristbands coming, man.
Definitely.
You know what I mean?
So what's up, bro?

(02:19):
What we talking about?
What the fuck we talking about, bro?
We doing too much talking, not talk.
Not talk, all right.
So this week, we going to talk about,
now we going to call it bedroom bandits,
but it's mainly about what is the appropriate age
for your kid to like move out and be on their own.

(02:41):
As soon as they think they grown.
As soon as they think they don't got to respect you.
Word, I don't feel like that, though, for me.
No, man, because listen, right.
Go ahead.
So I don't want to sound like a better OG,
but it's a lot of young people and it's a lot of grown people
too out here, you know, talking that talk,

(03:04):
but not walking that walk.
Elaborate, elaborate.
You got to be able to walk that walk.
You know what I mean?
You can't be talking that talk and then you
go in the middle room and get mom for it.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't understand that, like all the designer clothes,
right?
All the foreign hell cats, all the guns in the world,

(03:28):
all the purses, but you going in your middle room
that you was going to since high school.
So if you think you're going to your parents
or you're going to your mom, get your own place.
That's what I say.
Get your own place.
Now, if you're going to college, you know what I mean?

(03:51):
You fell on hard times or your mom's ill.
You know what I'm saying?
That's different.
But if you got a good job, you driving a good car,
you going on trips every other month,
but once you get off that plane, you ain't going to your home.
You going to your mom's home or your grandma's home,
your cousin's home, in the middle room.

(04:14):
That don't add up.
Your whole child is going to be better than your real room.
What the fuck is going on here?
Well, they give a little pushback, bro.
It's not the same like it wasn't when we was growing up.
You know what I'm saying?
Bro, you change years.
You got to do it, bro.
I know, but I'm saying, like, they ain't me,
but I heard a lot of people say, yo, by the time you're 18,

(04:37):
you got to get out of my house.
Right, right, right.
Right.
So if I'm fresh out of high school,
and you want me to like this move out,
I didn't have no experiences.
I just know I've lived in a house with you, paying bills,
trying to help out when I can.
I got me a little job and shit.
Now you want me to go find an apartment on my own?

(04:57):
Right, right, right.
I mean, looking at it now, being 44,
you also got to know your kids.
So you say, it is different from when we was coming up.
It's a lot more dangerous.
And it's more expensive.

(05:18):
Very expensive.
So don't walk around like the shit don't stink.
You know what I'm saying?
You walk around like the shit don't stink.
But knowing, you know what I mean,
you're going in that little middle room
or that basement, you feel what I'm saying?
Be humble.
Oh, that's hard.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it is hard.

(05:38):
It's definitely hard.
Like I said, I want to sign up to be the OG.
Because I love all my young boys, all the young ladies
that are doing their thing.
Because if they don't get the credit,
the ones that are busting their ass,
was living with their mom in the school, in the college,
had kids, and still going, they don't get the credit.

(05:59):
But the middle room bandits get all the love.
Because I guess as a parent, it kind of seems as a friend.
You don't worry about the strong friend,
because you think your strong friend got it.
So if you got the responsible kid,
you're not going to be worried about the responsible kid.
You got to worry about the kid that, yo,
if I put this motherfucker out, he might end up on cracker,

(06:20):
or dead or some shit.
But how long do you keep them under you?
Because even animals, straight from their kids.
Yeah, that's true.
You know what I'm saying?
Birds do kick the big bird out the next year.
Yeah, so you got to fly along on your own.
And then if you do fall, and this is to the parents, man,

(06:41):
don't be turning your back on your kids
if they need your help to come back.
Don't throw it in their face.
Don't be telling their aunt or uncle, yeah,
it's my ass or her, my ass had to come back.
And no, no, they ain't actually be here at the end of the day.
But to the bedroom bandits, the middle room bandits,

(07:01):
I'm tired of y'all.
Like, I'm really tired of y'all, because y'all be the main ones
talking shit.
Y'all be talking shit, bro.
Talking shit like how?
Right, all right, so it's one is that, all right,
so I'm going to say it like this,
if you almost pushing 50.

(07:22):
Who's almost pushing 50 in their mind, Craig, bro?
I'm just talking in general, man.
Say it.
I'm not talking to nobody in particular.
I'm just talking in general.
I feel you, but if you 50, still with your mom, Craig,
and she's not sick, you got, bro, something's up.
Now, listen, somebody might say, well, I did move out, OK.

(07:49):
When was that last time you moved out?
Sometimes you move out before y'all go to your in-law, Craig,
or you might got to go to your folks' crib,
you know what I'm saying?
But you're not supposed to stay home.
Bro, it take people 20 years to get back on their feet.
No, it fucking don't.
It takes 20 years to get back on your feet, bro.

(08:09):
What 20, who?
Bro, it could take somebody 20 years to get back on their feet.
20 years?
Man, you should be, boy, 20 fucking years.
It could take somebody 20 years.
That's two decades.
Yeah, it's two decades to fucking cry.
The fuck was you doing?
That's what I'm saying.
I don't know, man.
I know, bro.
Like I just said, I ain't coming down on them,

(08:31):
because I said I know what's hard,
but it's females and men that have been on their own,
doing what they're supposed to do since they was like 16, 17,
and still doing it now, but don't get the credit for it.
All right, so for that, so do you blame the kid
or you blame the parent?

(08:51):
Because you got to put that in there.
Because some kids might want to go,
but some parents might be a little nervous.
Because you let me say it.
If you know your child, no, you don't just push them out there.
But if your child's showing that indepedency, like, I got it.

(09:11):
Like, I got this.
I mean, let them go ahead, but also let them know,
if you come on rough times, I got you.
You know what I mean?
Don't tell them, yo, I got you.
But then when they come on rough time, man,
it's the third time I helped you out.
Yo, you said you had me.
Right.

(09:31):
I mean, you know where I work at.
You know they not paying for our expenses.
They not.
You know what I'm saying?
They not paying for that.
They not.
So you go part time, how's you paying for your bills?
You go four times, you're down.
They got to get a part time now.
Yeah, you got to get two jobs.
Two jobs.
Especially now.
Back in the day, you get one.
Right.
And be all right if you manage your bread, right?
True.

(09:52):
You know what I'm saying?
Some places in Philly, like, 1,300 for one.
And it ain't even worth it.
You paying 1,300 for the fucking kitchen floor
and the refrigerator that play music on it.
Yeah, true.
Back in the day, one bedroom was $575.
Two bedrooms ain't on it.
That's crazy, dog.
Now it just hits on my 13th.

(10:14):
And I don't blame these young.
All right, so you are, all right, this what I say to them,
to the middle room bandits.
Y'all be in all them group chats.
Y'all got a bunch of friends.
That's middle room bandits, too.
Why the fuck y'all don't get together and get a crib together?
Especially if all y'all work.
Now, if you don't have a job where you failed in 100 times,

(10:38):
or you're going to school, you know what I'm saying?
I ain't talking to you.
I'm talking about the ones that's working, going on trips,
and got cars, and all this other shit they do on the side.
But look for an apartment for a crib.
Yeah, you're right.
So you want people to, so you're saying
this is like, why don't they get a roommate?

(10:59):
Yeah, basically.
Get a roommate.
You know, y'all always together.
You going to this middle room bandit house.
You going to that middle room bandit house.
Y'all all middle room bandits.
But y'all can't go in one of y'all middle rooms and say,
yo, why the fuck we ain't got a crib?
Why we ain't roommates?
So you just going to be in that middle room?

(11:20):
So you 60.
60, that's fucking wild.
60?
Come on.
Crazy, bro.
And some people might listen, no, man,
I ain't coming down on y'all, man.
Just a lot of us are tired.
You know what I mean?
So I'm speaking for the ones that picked the work in,
that came out the mud, that fell on hard times,

(11:42):
and kept pushing.
So they making it where as though you can't
show love to yourself.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you can't big yourself up.
Yeah.
Oh, they showing up.
No, this motherfucker been doing this for years.
Yeah.
So why the fuck they can't show off or show
they accomplishments?

(12:03):
Well, for me, I was on the verge of being a middle room
bandit until my wife ended up getting pregnant,
and my sister Lisa kicked me out.
She said, ain't nobody, baby daddy,
going to be sleeping in my basement.
I'm like, what are you talking about, lady?
Oh, man.
I was not ready for that conversation.

(12:24):
Like, court me off guard.
I mean, it's so cool to this day.
I mean, I understand what she did.
But I don't know what would happen if she didn't do that.
Because some people take advantage of it.
Like, they know you got a harder goal.
So they can be like, they falling on hard times or whatever.
And then they might ask you, you know, you say, yeah.
You give them a like, yo, you got like six months.

(12:46):
Some people ain't even supposed to have you in their crib.
Yeah, true.
You know what I'm saying?
You get caught up in their crib.
They can put the fuck out.
Yeah, true.
Certain, certain sex, they got eight jobs.
You right.
You know what I'm saying?
So you tell them six months or they be like, well,
I'll do this and do that.
Now all of a sudden, it went from six months to six years.

(13:10):
That can happen sometimes, bro.
And then this motherfucker got a nerve to have an attitude.
Because you got to get the fuck out.
When you ask them to do something, they get rules.
True.
What?
That's understandable, understandable.
Now you went from a middle room to get your ass out of my crib.
And they're going to porch.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?

(13:31):
Right there, man.
Like, just to all y'all out there,
I want to give a shout out to everybody that's
not a middle room bandit.
Y'all don't get enough love.
Shout out to y'all holding it down since y'all were pups.
Shout out to all the youngins just holding it down.
Because there's a lot of youngins out here making bigger
moves than the OGs, too.

(13:52):
Definitely true.
You know what I'm saying?
So shout out to y'all.
Right.
I see y'all out there.
There's a lot of young, young, young ladies and gentlemen
out here owning businesses.
True.
Yeah, I mean, working they ass off,
the ones that got kids, the ones that don't have kids.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So keep doing your thing.
And don't stop again.

(14:14):
Congratulations to all the graduates of 2024, man.
Oh, congratulations to everybody.
Yeah, from kindergarten to 12.
I know them 12 years was hard because that shit was hard
for me, bro.
So I knew it was hard.
So congratulations.
And congratulations to all the college grads, man.
Oh, yeah.
People been in college for like 10 years.
It's not a great dream, bro.

(14:35):
If you graduate class of 2024, man, congratulations to you.
Yeah, that's a different type of dedication.
Yeah, different type of dedication.
That's all it was.
You can't say it's bullshit if you never went through it.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, so let's go back on topic.
So for the people who kind of need that inspiration

(14:56):
and stuff like that, let me know what you did when you were
No, so all right, so I graduated out of high school.
I thought I was grown.
So my mom gave me a curve.
Like, yo, being a kid before 12, I think it was.
So I'm just a Spanish smoking weed and all that.

(15:16):
I'm drinking wine with Rose, mad dog.
Being in that 2020.
Yeah, all that bullshit.
You know what I'm saying?
So I show up late.
It's like 2 o'clock in the morning.
So knocking on the window.
Her stepfather is the Tommy Nelson and shit.

(15:39):
They don't open the door.
So when she open the door, she say,
then I tell you, to be in my house at a certain time,
don't be coming in here until 2, 2.30.
You coming in here at 2.30, bro?
Now, look, I'm on, so I'm like, why aren't you
dope for me working and working with my aunt?
I got money saved up, so make a long story longer.

(16:00):
They let me in.
I'm on dope.
But in my head, I'm like, yo, I'm out.
Like, I'm out.
So next day, which was a Saturday,
ran into papers or whatever.
Started looking through for apartments and shit.
Called Hillside Gardens or whatever.
And then the rest is history, man.
All right, so in order to find the apartment you got,

(16:22):
before you caught, how difficult was
that process of transitioning from your mom's house
to your first apartment?
I was happy because at the time, I
thought my mom was real strict, not knowing that she already
been in the streets.
She knew what the streets about.

(16:43):
And I think she knew, like, Nasir would be good,
and his own life would be good.
So it was all right.
It was scary, though, like, when you first get in there.
It was like, you 18.
So you the fuck.
But then, you know, you do certain things
that you couldn't do in your mom crib.
And then you feel like a man.

(17:04):
Like I said, I mean, I was working at Keystone.
So at first, I was at UPS with the apartment and all that.
And then I went to Keystone.
And then the rest was history, man.
Then back to my mom crib since I moved out,
rest in peace, Dukes.
But yeah, bro, it was rough.

(17:25):
It was, you know, you had to really be a responsible adult
because you couldn't play around.
Like, if you ain't pay that rent,
you know you getting kicked out.
You ain't know, oh, Nasir, we good?
No.
No.
Yeah.
Don't have it on that day.
They'd probably be like two days.
And you get a late fee.
That late fee crazy.
You know what I'm saying?

(17:46):
But you keep playing, this shit going to be outside.
You know what I'm saying?
So and I ain't want to hear people say,
I told you you couldn't do it.
You know what I'm saying?
So that gives me more motivation to do this shit.
You know what I'm saying?
So for me, right, like I said, my sister put me out.
I was 21.
My wife at the time, my wife was seeing my girlfriend.
My wife was pregnant with our first kid.

(18:07):
OK.
And she was like, ain't no baby that live in my house.
So I had to move from living with my sister
to living with my wife.
Like we knew each other, we began to know each other,
stuff like that.
Trying to understand.
And you know, my sister was like a mom.
Like she cooked every night.

(18:29):
We made sure that I do the chores and shit.
Like this and shit.
Like all my brothers know how it was living with my sister,
Lisa.
So now being on your own is like,
I'm not doing that fucking chores and shit like that.
But also, I still had to get up, go to work, still had to,
can't spend my money on anything.

(18:50):
Yeah, it wasn't on calling out.
No, it wasn't.
Yeah, for me.
Because then, like, you know, back then,
I was working at McDonald's at the time.
So I'm like, shit.
And then, girlfriend pregnant, I'm like, fuck.
Like, all right.
So I can't call out.
I call out, my check will be $20 shirt.
Rent was back in, was it 2011?

(19:12):
Yeah, my rent was like $500.
Yeah, that shit wasn't hot.
That shit was like.
It wasn't hot at all, bro.
So I could do that $500.
But for me, if I missed a date, that $500,
look like $300, that check like $300.
And I'm like, oh, I can't let that happen.
And then, like, when you get the, first,
I get the hang of it.

(19:33):
Because me, I had to get the hang of it moving with somebody,
living with somebody.
And then, like, because, like I said before,
my mom had all boys and then one little sister.
But this is my first time actually living with me
and, like, a girl and all the, like, stuff that girls do.
And my wife had to get used to, like, all the stuff
that dudes do and shit like that.

(19:54):
Because now she's farting in front of you.
Now she's farting in front of her,
waking up and stinking ass bruh.
All day, man.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it's fun when it's visiting.
And when y'all there together, now you about to see the world.
Yeah, they shit around.
Because come on, man.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, fellas.

(20:14):
That shit was different, bro.
You gotta give these ladies world credit.
They deal with a lot of bullshit from us men.
Exactly, bro.
But yeah.
All ass toads, ass, ass feet.
My bad, bro.
I'm just saying, I don't get no credit, man.
Right.
So then, like, this the learning, like, all right.
So, oh, bills come every fucking month.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no, they don't.

(20:35):
They don't?
No.
They don't.
What you mean, every month?
Oh, you talking about the ones that's not middle room bandits.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm talking about middle room bandits.
OK, middle room bandits, every six months.
Every six months.
Oh, my god.
Yeah, but when you first move out, do you think, oh, shit.
They don't just pay a fucking electric bill.

(20:56):
They don't just pay rent.
It's already, like, time.
I ain't going to lie to people that being broke.
When it came to my bills to pay, I used to do, like,
the fucking Libra scale.
Just see how I got to see it.
Bills.
Bills.
Fuck.
If it's everyone who read the most, that's what I'm doing.
Right.
So that's how I did it.

(21:16):
But then, you know, sometimes you went out.
Yeah, I could do without lights, nigga.
It's summertime.
Fuck that.
Oh, shit.
Sun will go out until, like, 7.30.
I could do without lights?
What?
Yeah, man.
These people just saying, like.
I could do without lights, lights and candles, you know what I'm saying?
Like, sometimes you had to scratch to survive.
Right.
You know what I mean?
My first apartment, we didn't have to, we would pay.

(21:39):
I think the only we had to pay for was electricity.
Yeah, lights.
Yeah, we had to pay for electricity and shit like that.
And if you want cable and shit, you got to pay for that too.
And, like, oh, shit.
And, like, the security deposit and shit.
Yeah, the mic dog.
The mic dog.
Y'all.
That's Marty.
And don't forget about the whole security deposit.
No, this to get the money up.
Yeah.
To move out.

(21:59):
That's, like, oh, my God.
It's like every time you had the amount, something happened.
Yeah.
Always like that.
It's like that now, honey.
It's like that now.
It's so weird.
Well, I don't think nobody got no money saved.
Man, if you do.
It is just a hoot.
If you got money saved, salute to you.

(22:20):
I really respect you.
Right.
Because you must don't be outside.
At all.
Yeah, I mean, if you do go outside, you could really manage that bread.
Salute to you.
Call it discipline, bro.
Yeah, because of our.
Because of our what?
Look at it.
I can't tell you with me, but I'll leave this bitch.

Because if you never moved out, how can you tell other people

(24:25):
how to run their house?
How to pay for your shit?
You never experienced it.
True.
You know what I mean?
You just paying little bullshit bills, a phone bill.
That's nothing.
Might pay a car note or insurance.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
But a lot of times out of 10, whatever you living with,
helping you pay that.
That's true.

(24:45):
You know what I'm saying?
But what if the kid not good with money?
That's some people.
I know some people, that shit is burned through their pocket.
Like it's nothing.
If the kid not good with money, you take your fucking half out
and you give it to the person you living with to make sure
your half is paid for.
Right.

(25:06):
You know what I'm saying?
You feel me?
Or, yo, I'm trying to move.

But then some people, it's shite today.
They be spending it.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
So get a fucking savings account.
The fuck?
True.
You know everything but to get out that crib and get a crib.

(25:28):
And what about the comfortability though?
But that's true.
But never mind.
Now I said that like people being comfortable is not going
to get you where you want to be.
So you got to get used to being uncomfortable.
You right?
See right?
I hate to agree with you.
Yo, just know that.
If you in that middle room and you got to go and you're doing

(25:51):
what you're supposed to do, that's one thing.
Right.
But if you in that middle room, just to be in that middle room,
you clocking out every day, just to go back in that middle room.
Right.
So you telling me for them eight hours even on a break,

(26:11):
because you know, you ain't saying let me look and see if
any cribs out here on sale, anybody out in your apartments.
No, you just said fuck it.

Yeah, bro.
You think you still fucking have it?

and had to go back.
She would get talked about more than a motherfucker who

Which is true.
It's way more fun when you got your shit together.
You know what I'm saying?
You was supposed to have fun when you even had the pay grant

(36:01):
because you were living with your mom.
They bought your clothes.
Right.
What about the ones whose moms didn't buy their clothes?
Didn't give them school lunch money.
They had to work filler jobs or save their money from McDonald's
or whatever jobs was hiring, KFC, all that shit.
Right.
They don't get enough credit.

I ain't watch a lot of playoff games,
but I quote a good bunch, a good chunk.
So lean up to everything.

(37:46):
What do you think about the playoffs
and all the games you watch and stuff like that?
I think it's bullshit.
How you think it's bullshit?
There's too much to get into the playoffs.
You got play-in.
Some teams got the play-in.
All that shit.
I mean, it's turned into a rap battle.

make it.

(38:28):
when the pandemic hit because I thought
it would be better or something like that.
But I don't get it because it's from the seventh seed
to the tenth seed or something like that.
Sixth is one of them seeds like that.
The bottom four.
The bottom four teams.
So if you, the seventh, eighth seed,
and you got a winning record but you not the sixth seed up,

(38:51):
you still got play-in to play-in even though.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't understand.

He's gonna listen to more music.
I mean, so I can't, that's a nice top three for his age.
