Feeling good? Man? I appreciateyou taking out some time out your scheduling.
Shit, Man, and come onthe show. Be on the pod
for the first interview. Man,out the gate. You know we're gonna
get right into the thing. Man. First question, I always ask people
how you doing mentally? Like onthe scale of one to ten. I
ain't gonna lie. Mentally, I'mprobably at like a five right now.
(01:08):
It's been tough. I got alot of people dependent on me, so
it's just like I gotta learn howto say no in this moment in life.
Facts facts. We got a loton your shoulders, a lot of
people depending on you, a loton your plate. Facts facts. I
feel that all the way one hundredpercent. Okay. So for the people
at home watching, how has yourThey don't know you. You was just
(01:29):
on away on the bed five years, you've been home sixteen months. What's
life been like for you since you'vebeen home. It's been good, it's
been bad. It's been a dream, good and bad. I say that
because it's been a dream because I'vebeen losing loved ones left and right,
so it don't really seem real.But it also been a dream because I've
been chasing my dreams and they've beencoming true. So it's been good and
(01:52):
bad. But overall I can't complain. But also I can s got his
ups and downs. That's one hundredthat's okay. When you say it's been
good and bad because you've been chasingyour dreams. Was being an entrepreneur.
Part of your dreams Just really whenI say dreams is like anything I think
of doing. Like sometimes this thatI'm doing right now, it came to
(02:15):
my head. But I was justlike, man, that you dreaming,
Like that's too big, especially whenyou're only being home for this couple of
months. So when it actually happened, is really be like a dream come
true because when you think about it, it be like that's low key kind
of impossible. But for me tobe doing it, it's just truly a
dream. That's one hundred shit.That's one hundred shit. So when you
(02:38):
was locked up, I want toknow, man, like what's one or
two things that that you learned behindsitting behind the jail celle and shit that
helped you become who you is today? And like prepare for patience, Uh,
learn how to be patient. ThenI learned how to not also kill
time but utilized time. I alwayslike feel like if you bore or you
(03:00):
need to kill time, but alltime is meant to be utilized. You
gotta make every moment count. Soin prison, I just sat there and
I was just like, I wantto make every moment count. So really
just taught me how to utilize mytime, and more so, just be
patient, because when you ain't patient, you try to rush things. That's
how fucked up shit happens. Soit's just like just more so just being
(03:21):
patient for real, real, takinga step by step, just moving slow,
so you're gonna suck up, youknow, get knocked back two three
steps? You feel me? Ifeel that all the way. So I
also seen you make a little statusat one point. You know, you
was heavy on reading in there.What's some of the books you was reading?
Really like some Napoleon Hell books.I can't off the top just say,
but just artists, just Napoleon Hell. And then really more so for
(03:45):
real feral the forty Laws of Power, like the people think it's like a
manipula book, but I mean youcould take what you get out of it.
And also the Bible too, Likea lot of people look at the
Bible as a way to control humans, but I looked at it as a
way to set us free. Sojust like you could read a page and
then I read a page, andthen we'll get two different outlooks on that
same page. So it just belike, damn, this shit is deep.
(04:08):
So I never really like I feelthat because I also seen you,
you know, when you first camehome. I seen you come up with
some stuff like some yahweh son orsomething along them lines. Yeah and yahweh
we trust. Yeah some exactly andyeahweh we trust. And for for you
to even know that, if peopledon't know what that means for real,
for real, So for you toeven put that out there or even think
of that idea, that mean youdefinitely was doing your homework and just you
(04:31):
know, reading up on stuff,getting knowledgeable and gaining information. And that's
big, like especially coming from youknow, how the past life was and
shit like that, coming back cominghome a new person and shit, that's
big. Absolutely. So describe yourrelationship with Justin. What it's like to
you know, who is he?To you, what it's like to you
know, be partners in this businesswith him? I would call I'll probably
(04:54):
at first I was this mentor somebodywho looked at him as like a uh
like, let me look at likea white guy, look like I looked
at him as like a superstar,and he looked at himself as a regular
person. Okay, So yeah,when I came home, he was like
dumbing itself down like, and I'mlike, no, bro, you to
go put that battery in him.Yeah, I'm like, na, man,
(05:15):
this is this is not the life. And then the life we living
now, I'm like, this isthe life for you, the life that
you thought you were supposed to beliving. You bigger than that. So
it took him a couple months toactually like understand me. He probably thought
like for months he was like,man, you just hard on me,
Bro, you expected too much outof me. I'm like, man,
I'm telling you because you great.So it took from him to see me
(05:39):
do great things to believe in hisselfbecause seeing his believing Man, people love
seeing actions the words me and everything. But when the motherfucker see them actions
behind it, it hit it changed, It hit different, like it really
put a beattery in the motherfucker back. It's crazy you said that though,
because all his friends used to bearound how when I used to be hard
on them. But then they seewhere we at now and they be like,
man, like he was right thewhole time. So absolutely, like
(06:01):
now they they listening to me nowlike it's nothing I can't tell them because
they're like, man, you toldme, they trusted your vision. They
trusted your word. Now they seethe vision like, okay, that's one
honey shit. So how did y'all, how did the two of y'all come
up with this business? You know, this big for the town, Like
you know, this big to bearound here. You know how the fresh
kigs, nice good wear apparel,and ship motherfuckerme shop. It's huge and
(06:25):
it's black on. Yeah, howdid it come about? Really? Just
like he lived next door to memy whole life. So then when his
brother died, I ain't never lostthe like a brother or sister, so
I didn't really understand his pain.But then later on my sister passed away
unexpectedly out of nowhere, just literallyjust dropped dead. So I just was
(06:46):
like, we got to do somethingfor them to remember us. And he
always like he got every pair ofshoe, he got, all the clothes
he get fresh. I don't reallywear clothes. I don't really care about
that, but he used to alwaysdo it. And then we go places,
I see him spending thousands of dollarson fits. So he like bro
went open my own store. I'mlike, well, you sound stupid,
say a cool and all that,But then I had what crazy I had
(07:09):
was moving around and the dude namedKeith, he hit me up like,
man, I'm selling Valot Kicks forthis this amount of money, like you're
trying to buy it, Like I'llhollered at my white gut, like man,
you know what, man, Iguess we could buy a shoe store
you talking about. And they wentfrom there. Oh yeah, that's huge.
Yeah, that's crazy because to takeon what happened after Valet Kicks to
(07:30):
keep it going in a whole newfresh way, like cause I'm seeing what's
in here, and it's real heatinghere. It's definitely laced in here,
like y'all got this motherfucker point init smooth, like all right, he
ain't seen none yet, man,give it like ninety days. It's gonna
really be laid off for real,for real. It's just the start of
something. We learning to get ourfeed wet. We got a lot more
inventory on the way, just reallyevery dollar we make going back into the
(07:54):
business. So facts, facts,to keep expanding, you know, just
improving. Okay. So when itcome to you, Shirt, what does
loyalty mean to Shirt? I wouldsay integrity, Like you know what I'm
saying when I'm not around, You'restill the same person, you know what
I'm saying. You never got toworry about somebody switching on you because you
could be loyal on my face,but then you could probably be afar when
I'm not around. So I justbe the same person when I'm around and
(08:16):
when I'm not around. I didn'ttake thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars
worth of losses in the last eightmonths. I would say around up to
like thirty to forty thousand dollars.But I didn't like steal from other people.
I just remained the same. Likeit comes a point where like even
if someone crosses you, you gottastill be solid. You can't steal from
(08:39):
others because someone stole from you.You gotta remain your true self. So
I just say, loyalty, nomatter how deep of some situation you in,
just stay true to yourself. WhatI'm saying, Because I like even
his friends, and I'm like,they could call me at five in the
morning, I'm gonna go pick themup because my loyalty to him lies with
them. So just really just beingtrue to yourself, you know what I'm
(09:00):
saying. It don't do it fora image. Do it because you really
love people. I don't like,I don't talk about or bring up what
I do for others. They knowwhat I do for them, but the
world don't really know. Because I'mreally heavy on God too. We kind
of in the situation. But healways say like, if you talk about
what you do for people, that'sthe reward. But if you just do
it and let God reward you,you're gonna get more blessings like the blessing
(09:22):
I got, right ear, Idon't talk about what I do for people,
look like God blessing me because Ikeep it quiet. That's real.
So in that case, speaking onloyalty, would you rather have loyalty over
love? Yeah, absolutely, becauseI mean love is just more snot that's
just an action. I don't reallylike look at the word. So by
being loyal, that means you loveme. So it's just like saying you
(09:46):
love me. You can't really tellme that. You got to show me
that. I just did five yearsin prison just thought I knew what love
was. So it's just like inreality, loyalty is love and action.
So it's like you keep on tellingsomebody you love them, you can't tell
me that you got to show methat. So it's just like love to
is showing love and actions. Iwas just look at love as an action,
not more so a word. Yeah, you just cooked right there.
(10:07):
You ain't said nothing but the truthright there one hundred. So once you
posted that, you know you guyswas opening this and the word got around
town, spread around sharm got abusiness, this, this and that.
How what do you feel like?The response was was it a love?
Was it a love? Or wasit like hella hate? Was people hating?
Like it hurt because I'm a genuineperson. It's like like my mam.
(10:31):
And then was happy for me forsure, just but like the ray
scene, Like you know what I'msaying, it was a rumor that they
got to calling me gay because Ibought the the shop from people who whatever
they whatever they is, you knowwhat I'm saying. However they are watching,
I don't judge you man by whathe does with his free time,
but that's them instead of them,you know what I'm saying, saluting me.
It was more so like he ain'twork for that, he sold and
(10:54):
so forth. So I didn't expectthat type of like reaction. I thought
everybody was going to because if youwith me or that you see me work
hard by facts, I don't youknow what I'm saying, So people know
how I got this I work hardfor. But the naysayers, you know
what I'm saying. They said somethings that I didn't really agree with,
but now I understand, Like whenyou really winning, you gotta like deal
(11:16):
with somewhere. Yeah, that's fuckedup, Like damn motherfucker said that came
out with rumors and shit. Whenyou come open and shot do something for
the town, that's ridiculous, Likeit's sicken in how everybody in the town
like they pick and choose who theywant to support and then they show fake
love and shit like man, somebodyblack opening a business trying to do something
better for the town. Everybody shouldapplaudut that no matter what side of town
(11:39):
you from, who you is,that everybody should show love for that.
Facts facts. But what I lookat like like if I cut all the
lights off in here, it'd probablybe dark. But if I like shine,
like the littlest light, that's gonnaovercome all the darkness in this room.
So it's no matter how much darknessthey put in the world, as
long as I I ain't light intoit. I'm out shining all that darkness.
(12:01):
So all these things people saying aboutme and all the things, it
would never be able to affect mebecause I'm a still show light. I'm
gonna still show love. I'm notgonna show hate. So just like,
yeah, they came out with theserumors, but it only made me shine
brighter. So just like, keepcoming with it, you know what I'm
saying, Keep on coming because I'monly gonna keep shining brighter. No,
(12:22):
that's real shit. And then justeven in general, like shit many as
the run ins I didnet have withyou at the braid, just around the
town and the hoods and shit,you you is a genuine nigga, Like
you don't really be doing shit extrayou feel me, You always looking out
for motherfuckers, So it don't Idon't really see why motherfucker would hate on
somebody who always showing love and youfeel me and being a person who's showing
(12:43):
love and like you said, notspeaking on it or bragging on it,
like trying to throw that shit ina motherfucker face, like you genuinely be
looking out I haven't seen you lookout for motherfuckers and just hey, do
that and just keep it going typeshit. So people hating on you in
the town, that's just crazy,Like that's insane to me. Yeah,
but like like I ain't gonna lielike Jesus Man. They hated on Jesus
Man. He was a person.So it's true, like you know what
(13:05):
I'm saying, Like I never wantedto be this big. I always knew
I was gonna be this big,though, like not to even say it
that way, not to I don'tflund about how much attention I get because
I really don't care about the tension. I just wake up and be me
speaking your truth. I be meevery day and it gets recognized if I
don't wake up and try to behim him, him or him. I
just wake up and I be meand people gravitate. Yeah, exactly.
(13:26):
So it's just be like when thingshappen, I just be like long as
I gotta remain me. Like mymama told me one day when I was
doing my bid, she said,she said, never become what people call
you. That's really just just likeokay, because it's sometimes it was like
I wanted to be grinding all y'allsay I'm this something I want to be
there like yeah, yeah, okay, try to prove it to it on
(13:46):
this I'm gonna be that. I'ma whole ass nigga. Okay, I'll
show you this. She told methat years ago. So I was just
like, I never become what peoplecall me. I'm gonna always stay true
to me. That's real deal.That's real one, honey, ship.
And we need more in the world. People just being authentically them, not
worrying about what everybody has to sayor what somebody may say about them or
whatever rumors going around. You stilljust waking up doing you day in and
(14:09):
day out. Shit. Yeah,So in your words, describe racing to
the people that's not from racing that'swatching on YouTube, Like, how would
you describe racing as a whole?I feel like racing is a beautiful place.
It is what you make it,you know what I'm saying, a
lot of people hate on it.Like me, I love my city.
When I go out, I havea great time. Facts, I feel
(14:30):
like I'm in Miami at times,but people don't understand. I'm always in
Miami, I'm always in California,I'm always other places. So I can
adjust us like man, you like, how do you enjoy yourself on racing?
You just gotta surround yourself around goodpeople. So it's I don't get
me wrong, it's bad people aroundhere. There's good people around here.
It's more so who you surround yourselfaround. Like right now, it's like
(14:52):
I'm surrounding myself where people will waymore money than me. So it's like
it makes me want to want moremoney, work more. Most killers around
here too. I surround myself aroundkilling. I'm gonna want to kill somebody.
Myself around bombs. I'm gonna wantto be a bomb. So you
gotta find your crowd and really juststick to it. Don't try to like
fit in. You got to standout and whatever you should. Just find
your passion and just work hard atit. Don't try to be what everybody
(15:15):
else is, because at the endof the day, I grew up real
small my whole life. So it'slike I ain't never wanted to be somebody
I wasn't. You know what I'msaying, It'll always just stay true even
when it wasn't working for me,y'all still stick to the stay stay around
fact, just stay down and thenwhen it all work out. It's gonna
work out because you work so hardto be you, so when it's time
(15:37):
to be you, it's effortless.When you try to be someone else,
that shit takes energy time, Thatshit it's hard saying. When you wake
up and just be you, that'syour effortless, effortless, it's easy.
I wake up, I just beme. That's real ship, that's real
shit. Because so many people,you know how it is around here,
so many people got so many negativethings to say about the town, like
you can't do this, you can'tdo that. But one of the main
(16:00):
things is, like you said,you're a product of your environment. If
you surround yourself around bums, youprobably be a bum. If you around
broke motherfuckers, you probably gonna bebroke. Shit, you don't think shit
lit around here. Stop hanging aroundthe motherfuckers who ain't lit. Like you
want to have some fun, Goaround the geen with motherfuckers who having fun.
I'm trying to be on no negativeshit, Like I don't get when
people say this this town just ain'tyou feel me? It's so negative.
(16:22):
It's not the best. Like yousaid, I have fun when I'm around
this motherfucker when it's time to goout with motherfuck around it's lit. It's
really the people who ain't got nothinggoing for theirselfs. So it's like I
don't never like get on the internetand tell them that because for me to
say it. But like when I'mon the Internet and I'm seeing someone bashing
the town or something, I gothrough they picture or something and go through
like he ain't even got nothing goingon. Of course I feel this time
(16:45):
this man ain't got nothing going onaround his bit stagged. Hey, yeah,
you know what I'm saying. Soyou ain't got nothing to do but
wake up and hate fast and meI wake up and I just get to
the paper. So it's just likeI see, I see money around here.
They building some loves behind here.Facts Fat Super Fat had one right
on the lake. Yeah, youain't lying. I'm fine the move right
(17:06):
in one of them in a coupleof months. So it's just like,
uh huh, somebody gonna be lookingat me on Instagram. They're gonna be
thinking I'm living downtown Chicago all thetime. I'm in Racine, Wisconsin.
He not lying at all. Allmy life. They go through this the
city they're finna renovate this motherfucker forreal, for real, it's a lot
of black owned business around here now, two all the way down the strip.
Like we having fun around here.It's just we elevating me and we
(17:29):
ain't standing stagning, and we neverstagnant, keeping more shit, keep going.
Okay, So since we're in theshoe store, I know you said
you not big on clothes and shitlike that, but growing up everybody was.
Everybody loved Jordan's and shit like that. Since we're in the shoe store,
I thought it was only right forme to ask, what's your favorite
retro? My favorite retro is?Honestly, I would say, no,
Lie, I ain't gonna lot.Growing up as a kid, I would
(17:52):
say this nine these these blue ninesright here, only because, uh,
it's a backstory behind, ain't it. Uh. When I first started grinding
and got into the streets, Ihad wanted them shoes, but I ain't
had the money for them shoes.That boy hustle. I had learned how
to. I had learned my talentto keep them too. Yeah, but
(18:15):
I don't even got them shoes.A lot of stuff, but I can't
afford them shoes right now. Iain't got no money for them shoes,
but they look nice. Though Ifeel it. I feel it. But
that's how like all this stuff inhere, I can't afford I can't afford
it, you know what I'm saying. But at the end of the day,
I know I'm gonna be able tobuy it three four times once I'm
able to afford it. I realizedthis though, and I'm not knocking anybody
(18:40):
who does this, but I like, when I didn't have money, I
wanted to look like I had itto so now that I'm actually getting it,
like I could walk wrong. I'dbe in a bar with some flipps
and some like shoes and they justwalk around ship everybody know what's to sean.
Yeah, So just like I wantedto get it before I actually got
it, you know what I'm saying. So that's nothing in prison, Like
(19:03):
never fake it till you make itit, you know what I'm saying.
Then when you make it, youcould buy ten times ball the funk out.
Don't believe me, Like you knowwhat I'm saying, I'm righting,
And the nice beans and so butrollies and like watches, you know what
I'm saying I could have bought thatand not this, but I'm like,
nah, I'm going ahead and getthis. So then when I do get
that, I could buy two orthree times. That's real ship. Hey,
that's real ship. You dropped somereal gyms. You've been dropping gyms
(19:25):
this whole pod. No bull likeone of the main things, don't fake
it till you make it like,and another thing like if you can't buy
it multiple times, you shouldn't bedoing it. Like you said, you
could have went and bought this.You could have bought the rollie this or
that, but you went and boughtthe whip first, and then you're gonna
double back when you can't buy ittwo three times. Yea. But I
even bought. I bought the business, and then I got the sack and
(19:45):
full fledge all the way out themthere. The car pay for itself because
car, I ain't gotta really worryabout none of that, because the business,
you know what I'm saying, isgonna everything, gonna take care of
yourself. If I would have wentand got that, it's like I do
next time, I'm gonna make mynext dollar be moving backwards exactly. So
it's just like in prison. Youknow what I'm saying. I used to
hear my man, Brodie just didthis. Brodie just did that. I'm
(20:07):
like, man, ain't nobody openingbusiness. Everybody looking good when the people
come and let you what you cantell these people? Man, man,
and then people come knocking there theydo. You got two things? You
gonna stay down, lay down orhey, yeah, get to seeing a
lot. Man, what's so crazy? I'm gonna say this, Man,
I went to go see my probationoffice the other day and the whole staff
(20:30):
and just like we just see youin the news. Man, We're so
proud of you. I'm really like, like not to say it's like a
neighborhood hero. Like people see meand they're so proud of me because I'm
giving hope to the hopeless. Likewhen you come home from prison. It's
hard, yeah, especially with thisdead time. The cost of living is
off the roof ever since cold.So it's just for people to see me
(20:52):
and see the things I'm doing,it's like giving them some type of strength
and something to look up to.Like, man, Sharon did it.
I believe I can do it.That's real shit. So like you said,
you wake up every day. Youknow you say you just be yourself,
Eugene Win, stay true to whoyou are. So what keeps you
motivated and going day in and dayout? What keeps me motivated? Uh?
Really my mom? Uh, sincemy sister died, my mom is
(21:15):
like broken into pieces. I gottatake it. I just come on,
I'm an interview. Just come on, just come on. Yeah. But
then my mom, when my sisterdied, she broken into pieces. So
everything I do is for my OG. You know what I'm saying, to
make her pride because without her oldestyou know what I'm saying, she lost
(21:36):
her first child, So it's justlike real shit. Every day she writes
me and be like I love you. So it's just like everything I do
is to make OG smile, likejust being there for its supportant to me
or rock. I could smile justby waking up because I just did a
big you know, you're just happyto be around it outside literally like you
couldn't go outside in prison, Likeyou couldn't wake up and do whatever.

(22:00):
something to make my o G proudlike everything. So it's just like everything
I do. She just proud peoplejust sharing my post. She proud people.
Just whatever I do is like itain't for me. So it's like
I'm like, don't give me on. I talk my ship when it's ship,
but you got the right to dothat. Yeah, but I'm very
humble because I really don't talk myship a lot of people how you really
(22:21):
could? Yeah, I talk whenit's like yeah, but I don't really
talk my ship. You know whatI'm saying and how you could pop it,
even though she don't even like that, Like when I do pop a
little bit that come with too much, so she'd be like, baby,
I don't like that. I'm like, man, you are lucky. I
ain't doing what I really could be. That's one. That's one. Well
(22:45):
I it's all of the O GMan and then my niece too, So
it's just really for family members.You know, I'm saying the ones that
really stayed down till I came upbecause when I was in prison, I
like, if you had a conversationwith me in prison, I told everybody
I was gonna get on and dothis likely So it's just like now that
I'm doing it, the ones whowas different, I don't know why you're
surprised it Like Frank Guy like freakguy. He be a Frank Guy.
(23:10):
A shout out Frank Guy. Meand Frank Guy used to talk every day.
Frank Guy used to be like,god like read that book, read
that page to that book and bea get with you, yea kid.
So he like he like, Ilike broke go by this, but he
said, why beat the bottle book? Is the book right here? One
thing I noticed, like you can'ttell another grown man nothing like because they
(23:33):
feel like you're trying to little boyhim or something. And that's why I
started reading books. I'll be like, like if a grown man acting like
a little boy. Like one timeI I was in there and this grown
man was just acting like a littlekid and I had told him, man,
you're acting like a little ass kid. Man out. But I said
it in front of the other man, so he got like fancy yeah,
so he got it. So Ihad to like pull him to the side.
I'm like, look, and Igot a Bible verson and one of
(23:55):
the Bible folks he said, whenI was a child, I thought like
a child, I acted like achild. When I became a man,
I put these childish ways away.So instead of me telling him you act
like a little boy, I justfirst I'm like, look, when you
was a child, these things wereokay. Yeah, so like, don't
take it if you ain't gonna takeit from me. These Jesus right here,
right here. Yeah. So whenI started giving them Jesus words,
(24:18):
it's like you can't do not this, you can't get So I'm like,
okay, they don't want to hearmy words. Let me just give them
someone what that Jesus said. Sothat's how I just I mix it up.
Instead of them saying my words likebeause sometimes it come out of my
mouth, but it's all coming fromhim. I'll be like, don't get
mad at me. I go rightto the Bible. I'm like, he
like, why would you say thatto me? I'm like, I didn't
(24:40):
say it. He said like,look, man, I just read this
last night and you acting like thisman, look at this. And then
after that they started calling me preachingthe joint. They like little dog got
it because in prison, no capto you, Boston. This is why
I'm so successful right now, andI thank God for everything. I didn't
do nothing but books and workout anybodyright, anybody asked you want to play

So when you come home, likeyou said, you was in there with
a plan. You wasn't just inthere letting time pass you by fucking around.
He was in there with a planand you came and executed absolutely.
So now it's just like even likewith the white boy, I told him
everything when I came home. Hejust man, it's just dude, was

ethics suck. We got to gethim away from Shorty because Shorty gonna be
his downfall him Right there, werock with him, but he gonna spend
all our money on drugs, sowe got to keep him away from the

but this is what's going on.Took y'all to California to see what
y'all is about, and I'm gonnagive y'all the real and I want y'all

advice. You know what I'm saying. It could be a bumer coming to

how you doing mentally? Like onthe scale of one to ten. I
ain't gonna lie. Mentally, I'mprobably at like a five right now.
(01:08):
It's been tough. I got alot of people dependent on me, so
it's just like I gotta learn howto say no in this moment in life.
Facts facts. We got a loton your shoulders, a lot of
people depending on you, a loton your plate. Facts facts. I
feel that all the way one hundredpercent. Okay. So for the people
at home watching, how has yourThey don't know you. You was just
(01:29):
on away on the bed five years, you've been home sixteen months. What's
life been like for you since you'vebeen home. It's been good, it's
been bad. It's been a dream, good and bad. I say that
because it's been a dream because I'vebeen losing loved ones left and right,
so it don't really seem real.But it also been a dream because I've
been chasing my dreams and they've beencoming true. So it's been good and
(01:52):
bad. But overall I can't complain. But also I can s got his
ups and downs. That's one hundredthat's okay. When you say it's been
good and bad because you've been chasingyour dreams. Was being an entrepreneur.
Part of your dreams Just really whenI say dreams is like anything I think
of doing. Like sometimes this thatI'm doing right now, it came to
(02:15):
my head. But I was justlike, man, that you dreaming,
Like that's too big, especially whenyou're only being home for this couple of
months. So when it actually happened, is really be like a dream come
true because when you think about it, it be like that's low key kind
of impossible. But for me tobe doing it, it's just truly a
dream. That's one hundred shit.That's one hundred shit. So when you
(02:38):
was locked up, I want toknow, man, like what's one or
two things that that you learned behindsitting behind the jail celle and shit that
helped you become who you is today? And like prepare for patience, Uh,
learn how to be patient. ThenI learned how to not also kill
time but utilized time. I alwayslike feel like if you bore or you
(03:00):
need to kill time, but alltime is meant to be utilized. You
gotta make every moment count. Soin prison, I just sat there and
I was just like, I wantto make every moment count. So really
just taught me how to utilize mytime, and more so, just be
patient, because when you ain't patient, you try to rush things. That's
how fucked up shit happens. Soit's just like just more so just being
(03:21):
patient for real, real, takinga step by step, just moving slow,
so you're gonna suck up, youknow, get knocked back two three
steps? You feel me? Ifeel that all the way. So I
also seen you make a little statusat one point. You know, you
was heavy on reading in there.What's some of the books you was reading?
Really like some Napoleon Hell books.I can't off the top just say,
but just artists, just Napoleon Hell. And then really more so for
(03:45):
real feral the forty Laws of Power, like the people think it's like a
manipula book, but I mean youcould take what you get out of it.
And also the Bible too, Likea lot of people look at the
Bible as a way to control humans, but I looked at it as a
way to set us free. Sojust like you could read a page and
then I read a page, andthen we'll get two different outlooks on that
same page. So it just belike, damn, this shit is deep.
(04:08):
So I never really like I feelthat because I also seen you,
you know, when you first camehome. I seen you come up with
some stuff like some yahweh son orsomething along them lines. Yeah and yahweh
we trust. Yeah some exactly andyeahweh we trust. And for for you
to even know that, if peopledon't know what that means for real,
for real, So for you toeven put that out there or even think
of that idea, that mean youdefinitely was doing your homework and just you
(04:31):
know, reading up on stuff,getting knowledgeable and gaining information. And that's
big, like especially coming from youknow, how the past life was and
shit like that, coming back cominghome a new person and shit, that's
big. Absolutely. So describe yourrelationship with Justin. What it's like to
you know, who is he?To you, what it's like to you
know, be partners in this businesswith him? I would call I'll probably
(04:54):
at first I was this mentor somebodywho looked at him as like a uh
like, let me look at likea white guy, look like I looked
at him as like a superstar,and he looked at himself as a regular
person. Okay, So yeah,when I came home, he was like
dumbing itself down like, and I'mlike, no, bro, you to
go put that battery in him.Yeah, I'm like, na, man,
(05:15):
this is this is not the life. And then the life we living
now, I'm like, this isthe life for you, the life that
you thought you were supposed to beliving. You bigger than that. So
it took him a couple months toactually like understand me. He probably thought
like for months he was like,man, you just hard on me,
Bro, you expected too much outof me. I'm like, man,
I'm telling you because you great.So it took from him to see me
(05:39):
do great things to believe in hisselfbecause seeing his believing Man, people love
seeing actions the words me and everything. But when the motherfucker see them actions
behind it, it hit it changed, It hit different, like it really
put a beattery in the motherfucker back. It's crazy you said that though,
because all his friends used to bearound how when I used to be hard
on them. But then they seewhere we at now and they be like,
man, like he was right thewhole time. So absolutely, like
(06:01):
now they they listening to me nowlike it's nothing I can't tell them because
they're like, man, you toldme, they trusted your vision. They
trusted your word. Now they seethe vision like, okay, that's one
honey shit. So how did y'all, how did the two of y'all come
up with this business? You know, this big for the town, Like
you know, this big to bearound here. You know how the fresh
kigs, nice good wear apparel,and ship motherfuckerme shop. It's huge and
(06:25):
it's black on. Yeah, howdid it come about? Really? Just
like he lived next door to memy whole life. So then when his
brother died, I ain't never lostthe like a brother or sister, so
I didn't really understand his pain.But then later on my sister passed away
unexpectedly out of nowhere, just literallyjust dropped dead. So I just was
(06:46):
like, we got to do somethingfor them to remember us. And he
always like he got every pair ofshoe, he got, all the clothes
he get fresh. I don't reallywear clothes. I don't really care about
that, but he used to alwaysdo it. And then we go places,
I see him spending thousands of dollarson fits. So he like bro
went open my own store. I'mlike, well, you sound stupid,
say a cool and all that,But then I had what crazy I had
(07:09):
was moving around and the dude namedKeith, he hit me up like,
man, I'm selling Valot Kicks forthis this amount of money, like you're
trying to buy it, Like I'llhollered at my white gut, like man,
you know what, man, Iguess we could buy a shoe store
you talking about. And they wentfrom there. Oh yeah, that's huge.
Yeah, that's crazy because to takeon what happened after Valet Kicks to
(07:30):
keep it going in a whole newfresh way, like cause I'm seeing what's
in here, and it's real heatinghere. It's definitely laced in here,
like y'all got this motherfucker point init smooth, like all right, he
ain't seen none yet, man,give it like ninety days. It's gonna
really be laid off for real,for real. It's just the start of
something. We learning to get ourfeed wet. We got a lot more
inventory on the way, just reallyevery dollar we make going back into the
(07:54):
business. So facts, facts,to keep expanding, you know, just
improving. Okay. So when itcome to you, Shirt, what does
loyalty mean to Shirt? I wouldsay integrity, Like you know what I'm
saying when I'm not around, You'restill the same person, you know what
I'm saying. You never got toworry about somebody switching on you because you
could be loyal on my face,but then you could probably be afar when
I'm not around. So I justbe the same person when I'm around and
(08:16):
when I'm not around. I didn'ttake thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars
worth of losses in the last eightmonths. I would say around up to
like thirty to forty thousand dollars.But I didn't like steal from other people.
I just remained the same. Likeit comes a point where like even
if someone crosses you, you gottastill be solid. You can't steal from
(08:39):
others because someone stole from you.You gotta remain your true self. So
I just say, loyalty, nomatter how deep of some situation you in,
just stay true to yourself. WhatI'm saying, Because I like even
his friends, and I'm like,they could call me at five in the
morning, I'm gonna go pick themup because my loyalty to him lies with
them. So just really just beingtrue to yourself, you know what I'm
(09:00):
saying. It don't do it fora image. Do it because you really
love people. I don't like,I don't talk about or bring up what
I do for others. They knowwhat I do for them, but the
world don't really know. Because I'mreally heavy on God too. We kind
of in the situation. But healways say like, if you talk about
what you do for people, that'sthe reward. But if you just do
it and let God reward you,you're gonna get more blessings like the blessing
(09:22):
I got, right ear, Idon't talk about what I do for people,
look like God blessing me because Ikeep it quiet. That's real.
So in that case, speaking onloyalty, would you rather have loyalty over
love? Yeah, absolutely, becauseI mean love is just more snot that's
just an action. I don't reallylike look at the word. So by
being loyal, that means you loveme. So it's just like saying you
(09:46):
love me. You can't really tellme that. You got to show me
that. I just did five yearsin prison just thought I knew what love
was. So it's just like inreality, loyalty is love and action.
So it's like you keep on tellingsomebody you love them, you can't tell
me that you got to show methat. So it's just like love to
is showing love and actions. Iwas just look at love as an action,
not more so a word. Yeah, you just cooked right there.
(10:07):
You ain't said nothing but the truthright there one hundred. So once you
posted that, you know you guyswas opening this and the word got around
town, spread around sharm got abusiness, this, this and that.
How what do you feel like?The response was was it a love?
Was it a love? Or wasit like hella hate? Was people hating?
Like it hurt because I'm a genuineperson. It's like like my mam.
(10:31):
And then was happy for me forsure, just but like the ray
scene, Like you know what I'msaying, it was a rumor that they
got to calling me gay because Ibought the the shop from people who whatever
they whatever they is, you knowwhat I'm saying. However they are watching,
I don't judge you man by whathe does with his free time,
but that's them instead of them,you know what I'm saying, saluting me.
It was more so like he ain'twork for that, he sold and
(10:54):
so forth. So I didn't expectthat type of like reaction. I thought
everybody was going to because if youwith me or that you see me work
hard by facts, I don't youknow what I'm saying, So people know
how I got this I work hardfor. But the naysayers, you know
what I'm saying. They said somethings that I didn't really agree with,
but now I understand, Like whenyou really winning, you gotta like deal
(11:16):
with somewhere. Yeah, that's fuckedup, Like damn motherfucker said that came
out with rumors and shit. Whenyou come open and shot do something for
the town, that's ridiculous, Likeit's sicken in how everybody in the town
like they pick and choose who theywant to support and then they show fake
love and shit like man, somebodyblack opening a business trying to do something
better for the town. Everybody shouldapplaudut that no matter what side of town
(11:39):
you from, who you is,that everybody should show love for that.
Facts facts. But what I lookat like like if I cut all the
lights off in here, it'd probablybe dark. But if I like shine,
like the littlest light, that's gonnaovercome all the darkness in this room.
So it's no matter how much darknessthey put in the world, as
long as I I ain't light intoit. I'm out shining all that darkness.
(12:01):
So all these things people saying aboutme and all the things, it
would never be able to affect mebecause I'm a still show light. I'm
gonna still show love. I'm notgonna show hate. So just like,
yeah, they came out with theserumors, but it only made me shine
brighter. So just like, keepcoming with it, you know what I'm
saying, Keep on coming because I'monly gonna keep shining brighter. No,
(12:22):
that's real shit. And then justeven in general, like shit many as
the run ins I didnet have withyou at the braid, just around the
town and the hoods and shit,you you is a genuine nigga, Like
you don't really be doing shit extrayou feel me, You always looking out
for motherfuckers, So it don't Idon't really see why motherfucker would hate on
somebody who always showing love and youfeel me and being a person who's showing
(12:43):
love and like you said, notspeaking on it or bragging on it,
like trying to throw that shit ina motherfucker face, like you genuinely be
looking out I haven't seen you lookout for motherfuckers and just hey, do
that and just keep it going typeshit. So people hating on you in
the town, that's just crazy,Like that's insane to me. Yeah,
but like like I ain't gonna lielike Jesus Man. They hated on Jesus
Man. He was a person.So it's true, like you know what
(13:05):
I'm saying, Like I never wantedto be this big. I always knew
I was gonna be this big,though, like not to even say it
that way, not to I don'tflund about how much attention I get because
I really don't care about the tension. I just wake up and be me
speaking your truth. I be meevery day and it gets recognized if I
don't wake up and try to behim him, him or him. I
just wake up and I be meand people gravitate. Yeah, exactly.
(13:26):
So it's just be like when thingshappen, I just be like long as
I gotta remain me. Like mymama told me one day when I was
doing my bid, she said,she said, never become what people call
you. That's really just just likeokay, because it's sometimes it was like
I wanted to be grinding all y'allsay I'm this something I want to be
there like yeah, yeah, okay, try to prove it to it on
(13:46):
this I'm gonna be that. I'ma whole ass nigga. Okay, I'll
show you this. She told methat years ago. So I was just
like, I never become what peoplecall me. I'm gonna always stay true
to me. That's real deal.That's real one, honey, ship.
And we need more in the world. People just being authentically them, not
worrying about what everybody has to sayor what somebody may say about them or
whatever rumors going around. You stilljust waking up doing you day in and
(14:09):
day out. Shit. Yeah,So in your words, describe racing to
the people that's not from racing that'swatching on YouTube, Like, how would
you describe racing as a whole?I feel like racing is a beautiful place.
It is what you make it,you know what I'm saying, a
lot of people hate on it.Like me, I love my city.
When I go out, I havea great time. Facts, I feel
(14:30):
like I'm in Miami at times,but people don't understand. I'm always in
Miami, I'm always in California,I'm always other places. So I can
adjust us like man, you like, how do you enjoy yourself on racing?
You just gotta surround yourself around goodpeople. So it's I don't get
me wrong, it's bad people aroundhere. There's good people around here.
It's more so who you surround yourselfaround. Like right now, it's like
(14:52):
I'm surrounding myself where people will waymore money than me. So it's like
it makes me want to want moremoney, work more. Most killers around
here too. I surround myself aroundkilling. I'm gonna want to kill somebody.
Myself around bombs. I'm gonna wantto be a bomb. So you
gotta find your crowd and really juststick to it. Don't try to like
fit in. You got to standout and whatever you should. Just find
your passion and just work hard atit. Don't try to be what everybody
(15:15):
else is, because at the endof the day, I grew up real
small my whole life. So it'slike I ain't never wanted to be somebody
I wasn't. You know what I'msaying, It'll always just stay true even
when it wasn't working for me,y'all still stick to the stay stay around
fact, just stay down and thenwhen it all work out. It's gonna
work out because you work so hardto be you, so when it's time
(15:37):
to be you, it's effortless.When you try to be someone else,
that shit takes energy time, Thatshit it's hard saying. When you wake
up and just be you, that'syour effortless, effortless, it's easy.
I wake up, I just beme. That's real ship, that's real
shit. Because so many people,you know how it is around here,
so many people got so many negativethings to say about the town, like
you can't do this, you can'tdo that. But one of the main

Okay, So since we're in theshoe store, I know you said
you not big on clothes and shitlike that, but growing up everybody was.
Everybody loved Jordan's and shit like that. Since we're in the shoe store,
I thought it was only right forme to ask, what's your favorite
retro? My favorite retro is?Honestly, I would say, no,
Lie, I ain't gonna lot.Growing up as a kid, I would
(17:52):
say this nine these these blue ninesright here, only because, uh,
it's a backstory behind, ain't it. Uh. When I first started grinding
and got into the streets, Ihad wanted them shoes, but I ain't
had the money for them shoes.That boy hustle. I had learned how
to. I had learned my talentto keep them too. Yeah, but
(18:15):
I don't even got them shoes.A lot of stuff, but I can't
afford them shoes right now. Iain't got no money for them shoes,
but they look nice. Though Ifeel it. I feel it. But
that's how like all this stuff inhere, I can't afford I can't afford
it, you know what I'm saying. But at the end of the day,
I know I'm gonna be able tobuy it three four times once I'm
able to afford it. I realizedthis though, and I'm not knocking anybody
(18:40):
who does this, but I like, when I didn't have money, I
wanted to look like I had itto so now that I'm actually getting it,
like I could walk wrong. I'dbe in a bar with some flipps
and some like shoes and they justwalk around ship everybody know what's to sean.
Yeah, So just like I wantedto get it before I actually got
it, you know what I'm saying. So that's nothing in prison, Like
(19:03):
never fake it till you make itit, you know what I'm saying.
Then when you make it, youcould buy ten times ball the funk out.
Don't believe me, Like you knowwhat I'm saying, I'm righting,
And the nice beans and so butrollies and like watches, you know what
I'm saying I could have bought thatand not this, but I'm like,
nah, I'm going ahead and getthis. So then when I do get
that, I could buy two orthree times. That's real ship. Hey,
that's real ship. You dropped somereal gyms. You've been dropping gyms
(19:25):
this whole pod. No bull likeone of the main things, don't fake
it till you make it like,and another thing like if you can't buy
it multiple times, you shouldn't bedoing it. Like you said, you
could have went and bought this.You could have bought the rollie this or
that, but you went and boughtthe whip first, and then you're gonna
double back when you can't buy ittwo three times. Yea. But I
even bought. I bought the business, and then I got the sack and
(19:45):
full fledge all the way out themthere. The car pay for itself because
car, I ain't gotta really worryabout none of that, because the business,
you know what I'm saying, isgonna everything, gonna take care of
yourself. If I would have wentand got that, it's like I do
next time, I'm gonna make mynext dollar be moving backwards exactly. So
it's just like in prison. Youknow what I'm saying. I used to
hear my man, Brodie just didthis. Brodie just did that. I'm
(20:07):
like, man, ain't nobody openingbusiness. Everybody looking good when the people
come and let you what you cantell these people? Man, man,
and then people come knocking there theydo. You got two things? You

proud of you. I'm really like, like not to say it's like a
neighborhood hero. Like people see meand they're so proud of me because I'm
giving hope to the hopeless. Likewhen you come home from prison. It's
hard, yeah, especially with thisdead time. The cost of living is
off the roof ever since cold.So it's just for people to see me
(20:52):
and see the things I'm doing,it's like giving them some type of strength
and something to look up to.Like, man, Sharon did it.
I believe I can do it.That's real shit. So like you said,
you wake up every day. Youknow you say you just be yourself,
Eugene Win, stay true to whoyou are. So what keeps you

Just whatever I do is like itain't for me. So it's like
I'm like, don't give me on. I talk my ship when it's ship,
but you got the right to dothat. Yeah, but I'm very
humble because I really don't talk myship a lot of people how you really
(22:21):

talk my ship. You know whatI'm saying and how you could pop it,

really stayed down till I came upbecause when I was in prison, I
like, if you had a conversationwith me in prison, I told everybody
I was gonna get on and dothis likely So it's just like now that
I'm doing it, the ones whowas different, I don't know why you're
surprised it Like Frank Guy like freakguy. He be a Frank Guy.

A shout out Frank Guy. Meand Frank Guy used to talk every day.
Frank Guy used to be like,god like read that book, read
that page to that book and bea get with you, yea kid.
So he like he like, Ilike broke go by this, but he
said, why beat the bottle book? Is the book right here? One
thing I noticed, like you can'ttell another grown man nothing like because they
(23:33):
feel like you're trying to little boyhim or something. And that's why I
started reading books. I'll be like, like if a grown man acting like
a little boy. Like one timeI I was in there and this grown
man was just acting like a littlekid and I had told him, man,
you're acting like a little ass kid. Man out. But I said
it in front of the other man, so he got like fancy yeah,
so he got it. So Ihad to like pull him to the side.
I'm like, look, and Igot a Bible verson and one of
(23:55):
the Bible folks he said, whenI was a child, I thought like
a child, I acted like achild. When I became a man,
I put these childish ways away.So instead of me telling him you act
like a little boy, I justfirst I'm like, look, when you
was a child, these things wereokay. Yeah, so like, don't
take it if you ain't gonna takeit from me. These Jesus right here,
right here. Yeah. So whenI started giving them Jesus words,
(24:18):
it's like you can't do not this, you can't get So I'm like,
okay, they don't want to hearmy words. Let me just give them
someone what that Jesus said. Sothat's how I just I mix it up.
Instead of them saying my words likebeause sometimes it come out of my
mouth, but it's all coming fromhim. I'll be like, don't get
mad at me. I go rightto the Bible. I'm like, he
like, why would you say thatto me? I'm like, I didn't
(24:40):
say it. He said like,look, man, I just read this
last night and you acting like thisman, look at this. And then
after that they started calling me preachingthe joint. They like little dog got

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
