I'm like, hey, man, take this shirt off so they can see what you're selling. I said nobody wants a fat personal trainer. Joseph, you got to show them the abs and see what you're selling.
Speaker 3:He's by himself there. I'm not saying that, Joseph.
Speaker 2:I'm glad I'm not the only person you talk shit to.
Speaker 4:I see it's everybody I didn't talk shit to people I like if I don't like you, I don't talk to you your wife told me that if I don't like you, I don't talk to you at all.
Speaker 1:Ask Josh Cruz fuck you, that's talking to him who the fuck is it?
Speaker 3:well, I'm sure he knows he's been talked about.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're right, that's different than talking to.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:Because even when I have to talk to him, I talk to anyone else. What throws me the most about this podcast is so many people know about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hey, the homie's going to listen at my dispensary security. He was like what's that dog? I gonna listen at my uh dispensary security, all right, he was like what's that dog I'm check that out.
Speaker 3:I just be sitting here like doing nothing. That's the trip and passing. If you know how many drivers go, man, put me on your podcast, do this, and I'm like. So you know, I got a podcast I'm a part of and you don't this is what you do you be like.
Speaker 1:so what else do you do? Because we ain't going to just talk to you about driving Right, right the hell.
Speaker 4:There's your week.
Speaker 2:It was cool, that's it.
Speaker 4:What'd you buy?
Speaker 2:Dominique, I can't say you better hear something Me and Dominique have decided I'll tell you because she knows me and Dominique have decided this year to buy each other a Pandora bracelet and buy charms for each other for every major event, so we can have something that matches Can I find?
Speaker 1:if I find the Kendrick one with the peekaboo face? Send it my way, I'll purchase it.
Speaker 4:That's a dope ass charm.
Speaker 2:That's what me and Dominique have decided to do. That's dope.
Speaker 1:That's dope, you can just keep adding to it. That's dope, you can just keep adding to it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, interesting though as we talk about that, because the initial reaction to Kendrick's GNX album, to what happens after a while because at first people was like y'all like this shit, and then eventually people were like I can't lie that shit.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you can gruel me quick. Day one I was like this shit Me too, me too.
Speaker 1:That's for us.
Speaker 3:That was a California album, but it's interesting to see people's reaction because at first it was like, oh, y'all fuck with this, and it's like, yeah, and then eventually it catches on and now you see everyone doing Peek-A-Boo or Mustard and if I'm being honest, Reincarnate is becoming one of my favorite songs.
Speaker 2:It's very good.
Speaker 4:It's very good but it's like it's getting it's creeping up to like my top three on the album because the energy, like when you really hear you mean that Pac energy, yeah, like when you really hear the energy. Who was?
Speaker 2:it. Who was it?
Speaker 1:McFly huh that Pac energy thank you oh, I thought he was being Eartha Kitt no, you didn't.
Speaker 3:I love Eartha Kitt who was trying to say say, drake, this is how you do park she's my other favorite, so then I, I went.
Speaker 1:Well then, I was trying to, not I was trying to be all slaky. What the fact.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, because I love her. You don't you? That's, that's how I know. You don't look at my tell you, uh I'm right, I don't want to get nobody I, I fuck with.
Speaker 4:If I see it, I'll be like, hey, I love I say it like once a week.
Speaker 1:I love her kid I fuck with you really, I really do, I love her I mean, do you really be posting that on?
Speaker 2:my Instagram yeah, I love her. Is she still alive? No, but I love her.
Speaker 4:I fuck with Dodger Blue yeah, one of my favorite yeah the entire album is good.
Speaker 2:We should have knew what direction that we were going when he came out with they Not Like Us just because California attaches to anything that we can make an anthem, anything.
Speaker 4:I feel like the whole I feel like the whole album you could like. It's for the yeah, but that's how you can step to most of the album you can, but that's our culture, if you think about it.
Speaker 2:You, you got um, I can't remember the damn rapper name but the, the. I'm from new york. You, it was popular at that time, but you don't really hear it no more. You don't really hear. Welcome to atlanta when a player's playing. You don't, you don't hear that anymore.
Speaker 2:But you hear california love every the fuck. Where you go, you can be. I've been. I've lived in virginia and heard california love at the club, because california attaches to anything that we can make and ask them. So once they not like us came out, they should have known, especially the culture so much culture in the video. They should have known that that was gonna take off. So drake can go ahead with his lawsuits hang it up.
Speaker 3:I guess we're a bunch of bots yeah well, yeah, that's what the california is.
Speaker 1:The only reason this song is killing them. Still, where they're like, ain't nobody playing that. I'm like dog. I changed the radio station three times and and everyone was boom boom, boom.
Speaker 3:Fuck the radio station. I still play that. Well, no, I'm just saying when you listen to the radio in.
Speaker 1:California, I shit you not four stations. I went through was just the album. I was just like what?
Speaker 2:the fuck, because we attach ourselves to it as an anthem. The song he came out before that with the nigga who don't pay the child support. What's his name?
Speaker 1:There's a lot of those, the nigga, who don't pay the child support.
Speaker 2:I forgot his name, but the album that he came out prior to the song he came out with prior to that.
Speaker 4:Oh, you don't like that.
Speaker 2:Yes, that was a good song too, oh.
Speaker 4:Future.
Speaker 1:House yeah.
Speaker 2:That nigga did not.
Speaker 3:There's a lot of them. There's a lot of them.
Speaker 2:I don't know how he's a king.
Speaker 3:I had to think hard.
Speaker 4:I was like what the hell yeah?
Speaker 3:rappers that don't pay, chow that particular one he stands out.
Speaker 2:But that song was dope as fuck too, but it you couldn't make it an anthem the way you were able to make they not like a. Nah, shit, that motherfucker. Go go put that on again no, the shit knocking the shit knocking, but I just feel like they not like us screams at them.
Speaker 4:Look here well, it was all him when my seven year old daughter gets in the car and said dad, can you play? Not like us? Or yeah, my one year old says wop, wop, wop, wop, wop oh, how cute did I see in the video of you just rapping her favorite. That third verse is her favorite voice, that's her favorite verse what a time of time you don't even know the words and she can't say the word nigga. So she's going to pop out in the shingles.
Speaker 3:So real quick. My week was good, positive and productive. Let's get into the shenanigans.
Speaker 2:The Phoenix stories get me every time that little girl funny as shit.
Speaker 3:Again, these questions are curated by what is going on with us or around us.
Speaker 4:What inspired you to tackle the challenges that others deemed impossible?
Speaker 2:Because, bitch, you ain't going to tell me what I can't do. Yeah, I'm kind of the same way the fact that other people think it's impossible.
Speaker 3:I'm one of them. Okay, let me show you I agree.
Speaker 1:I agree, kevin, I don't follow.
Speaker 4:What do you mean? Like others, deemed impossible.
Speaker 3:You mean a leader, or oh, the question, yeah, like as far as, for instance, some people think getting on stage would be impossible to do.
Speaker 1:To themselves yeah, that's usually what people are thinking. Yeah, okay, because I'm like, if someone tells me they think it's impossible to me, I'm going to be like, are we?
Speaker 4:friends.
Speaker 3:People do it Like they think they could never do public speaking and they think they could never do.
Speaker 1:OK, so you mean like if, because I'm like that's kind of foul if somebody is like, yeah, you can't do that shit.
Speaker 3:Just like I was thinking.
Speaker 1:but you're OK, I follow a little more.
Speaker 3:So like when I see you do it, they go wow, yeah, that's, I'm like you, can you can.
Speaker 1:Wow, yeah, that's, I'm like you can, you can. It's not as hard as you think. It sucks Sometimes. It's not a career path, but I don't know.
Speaker 4:I just don't think nothing's impossible if you really put your mind to it. I think a lot of people just can't wrap their head around the concept of learning to enjoy being uncomfortable, because that's the only way you're going to grow. If you constantly do the things that are safe, you constantly do things that you feel comfortable with, you're not pushing yourself. So that's why they see things are impossible. But if you're willing to step out there, go out on a ledge and attempt, like I said all the time, making the attempt makes you better than most people, because most people won't even make the goddamn attempt. So if you make the attempt, you learn more. And if you and if you're sure about yourself and have enough self-confidence, even if the first attempt wasn't successful, you have, you'll have more faith on the second attempt, I agree.
Speaker 4:So I jumped out of a plane.
Speaker 3:I'm not doing that shit. And the bungee jumped.
Speaker 1:I don't play with life it was like one of those things, that is like. I would never do that shit, but it's like it's terrifying, but I'm like, if I could like, I'm still like I want to be. I haven't gotten over. As much as I love the ocean, I still haven't gotten over like being out there swimming freely in the, and that's something I do on Conqueror.
Speaker 4:I've done that shit, but you jumped off the plane yeah.
Speaker 1:I feel more comfortable in the plane than the water.
Speaker 2:That's correct. Although I love the water, I didn't bungee.
Speaker 1:I base jumped. The fuck is that I want to bungee jump. I hear that's better than.
Speaker 2:What the fuck is a base jump? It's where you go from the top to the bottom Bungee jump the bottom.
Speaker 1:Bungie jump, you jump and then you recoil and you do like several free falls. That's why I hear that one is crazy.
Speaker 4:I've done the swimming in the ocean thing and I thought it would creep me out at first, but then I was like I'm shark food.
Speaker 1:I'm shark food. Yeah, that's why I want to go out there, it's like one of those things once you accomplish those things that shit ain't that bad.
Speaker 3:It's like something, like a whale or something but the.
Speaker 1:Thing is, but when you think about it does and like if it happens most of the time when you see the videos it's just like oh well, fuck a whale, just swim by.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you didn't give a fuck about me the thing is like, once you realize that those things are actually really really rare, happen right, because I think the number of people actually killed by sharks is really a low number you think about how many deaths.
Speaker 3:You know me very well. I believe that I'm the one in a million sharks.
Speaker 2:We all do.
Speaker 1:I'll be out there like there's going to be an orca that just swallows me whole today, the only thing I can say.
Speaker 4:I think I've done it three or four times, kevin, and only one time have I ever felt like oh shit, what was that? And it was one time it was a pack of dolphins, but they didn't double back. That's dope.
Speaker 1:That is tight. And then comedy is almost another thing too, like I was terrified of talking in front of people, but that's the ultimate. I'm in front of people, type thing.
Speaker 3:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:So I don't know, fuck it, tackle it. So I say fuck off, it's not impossible if you want it or you don't, or you don't want it, and you just have to admit that for shizzle, so everyone's answered did you answer?
Speaker 3:did everyone else answer?
Speaker 2:yes, see what was everyone else's answer nick, we're not gonna go through the whole answer again answer the damn question all right, uh, what I've conquered.
Speaker 3:I feel like it was just being an artist, because I remember being terrified of the thought of performing period, because I remember being in cyphers the first time I was in a cypher. I didn't know anything about rapping, but I know I wanted to do it. So I was more and more for me inspired to push through and just try it than I was by the terror terrified thought of actually being terrified. So I I would just like I said in the computer class, I did the same thing in a cypher. I walked up to a cypher, never rapped, didn't know, but I wanted to try it. So the cypher, I fucking stepped up and just started rapping. Some words rhymed, a lot of them didn't.
Speaker 2:What's a Cypher?
Speaker 3:It's when you have an open where just a bunch of MCs are around and you just start rapping, A bunch of niggas freestyling in a circle you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:And then you got to be like hey, hold up.
Speaker 4:Let me, I'm getting in and I remember Well, you're on beat at least.
Speaker 3:I think so.
Speaker 1:That's a rip, the bandaid off effect.
Speaker 3:Yeah. And then I remember the reaction was like no one talks shit. They just kind of looked at me like I give you props for even trying dog, Like most people don't even try. And I said I think I like this shit. That step that turned into let me learn how to write, let me learn how to perform. And I remember when I first started I sounded like fabulous. I remember challenging myself not to sound like someone else yeah, and then eventually evolve, yeah and then the love grows.
Speaker 3:And learn the techniques and all that and now you got eugene coming on here saying they couldn't get a nigga to shut up.
Speaker 4:He said that yeah, Multiple times he did. We used to I don't know.
Speaker 1:We used to rap a lot, dandy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that was my hoax.
Speaker 2:You was doing it too, kevin, yeah, it would be a part of it, they'd be over here like he was rapping too. Yeah, that was hard. That was my sole purpose.
Speaker 4:False.
Speaker 3:That was my sole purpose. Any party, any, whatever I was there, any open mic. I was there because I really wanted to challenge myself to get better, and these were things that I was terrified of. But I wouldn't get to where I was trying to go if I didn't try. So I would go to Bucks parties and literally I had no intention of drinking, I had no intention of doing anything.
Speaker 3:Oh, I did and I would go and I would be like we'd be hanging out for a little bit and I'd be like so, kevin Buck, you want to get this freestyle started, like Cypher started. They'd be like, yeah, and, and they just let me get a couple of drinks in me, and then we started.
Speaker 1:I'm like let's just go, let's go, he does that now let me shotgun some beers and shit, though I just I just that was my thing I go to a party and you're gonna get the cypher started and that was my whole thing.
Speaker 3:I would go to a party I didn't know anybody who's doing the cypher because I wanted to get better. And when I challenged myself, it made better and it got me noticed by people like Diesel, et cetera, that were in the scene. That was like you know what I fuck with this dude? Who is this guy? And that's what you have to do when you're trying to do something. You have to challenge yourself, to think anything's possible, and nothing is impossible. Anything's possible if you believe it.
Speaker 1:Sometimes you got to be a little bit delusional too, and nothing is impossible anything's possible if you believe it.
Speaker 3:Sometimes you gotta be a little bit delusional too that was the thing I took from J Cole's podcast. He said that he had. Everything he did was with a bit of delusion, like he would say, oh man, I just gotta get this in the right hands, and they'd be like nigga, you just started rapping the right person here. He's like you have to have that delusion in order to make it, because you got to have that delusion. That anything's possible.
Speaker 3:So you got to dream like you never had obstacles. Can you share a specific moment when you were facing an insurmountable obstacle?
Speaker 2:The what.
Speaker 3:An insurmountable obstacle. Meaning something that seems fucking impossible, but you still overcame.
Speaker 4:I mean for me. I can say what I went through in August without going into detail. That's something I thought would never. It would never happen to me, you know. And to live through that, to recall the shock and literally be in a place where I couldn't move, Like I don't think I've been, I don't think I had ever in my life been that shook where I couldn't move Like I could. I could see things unfolding almost like in slow motion, but I couldn't move. I didn't know how to respond. I couldn't, I couldn't gather myself. It took me a while to get there, gather myself to talk. That probably was probably like the one moment that comes. That's the first moment that comes to mind Damn, I'll be out. No, no, no, oh, it's good yeah you're good.
Speaker 2:You're good Now, y'all know y'all say something and I break out crying. I'm just over here like no, no, no, no, don't cry she's focused on not crying do not cry.
Speaker 1:I feel like my dad's death is always one that's like, just the way it happened.
Speaker 1:I never talk about it too often, but that's rough. Just the way it happened. I never talk about it too often, but that's rough because you know and uh, and like I said, it feels like you, you failed a little bit, so I had to get past that and I guess addiction and shit through that and uh, getting myself all right and um, yeah, more reliant on myself than anything else, than a pill or anything like that. So I guess that that can be insurmountable to some. There's some people who didn't come out of the other end of that, so that that would probably be it.
Speaker 3:I'll never talk to anybody about that.
Speaker 1:It is the smartest thing, but especially what we preach here.
Speaker 3:um, I'm not gonna say that because it popped in my head too, but um you gotta speak your truth.
Speaker 3:I'll just say that shit with the DOT, shit, if you knew how much that in Mo knows how much that plagued my fucking brain for the last however many years. And, uh, the constant setback that would happen, cause I would always either fail or get a year or whatever. And um, this year, cause it was in the last few months, I changed my entire outlook, I changed my diet, just because I said that I'm stricking things out of my norm that could possibly cause a bad thing to happen. And when I tell you that nurse took my blood pressure and I went through the whole physical and they just said well, here's your two years, you're good to go.
Speaker 3:I said holy fuck. And I know I was excited. I text him, I text everybody. I was like holy shit, I fucking passed no issue, no, you got to come back. Whatever it was just.
Speaker 3:But that felt like something where it was like I couldn't. I felt like it was out of my control Because I can't tell my body what it's. Because the thing about blood pressure reaction and whatever your body can literally be affected by something you don't even realize is happening. Your body reacts to it so like you could literally your blood pressure or whatever can spike off of the simple fact that you don't realize that you're being anxious right now or have anxiety. You don't even realize you have anxiety or just something bad happening around you. You don't even realize it spiked you. You think you're normal, but your body's saying you're not, you're not fine, but you think you're completely fine and your body is like you're not fine right now.
Speaker 3:Now, so that I will say instantly is, besides the losing of my dad, it was something where I was like, you know, I didn't think I was going to get past that. And I got past it and I felt this instant sudden relief and I felt like everything happens for a reason and I was supposed to go through every path that I've been through for a reason. And um, it was so weird as I was trying to get out of there to get to the DMV and, um it, they took like an hour and a half just to to see the damn doctor and then the doctor got me out of there fast and I was like, damn, I missed the DMV and I went up the street and the Brockton DMV in Riverside If ever been there takes forever. Yes, I caught it somehow at 4 30 when it was empty and I was in there in 10 minutes.
Speaker 2:I said this all was supposed to play out, yeah because the lady was like you're fine.
Speaker 3:She's like you missed the rush, you're fine.
Speaker 4:10 minutes boom, and I know I took my on my test there. Yeah, that's fucking if you've ever been to the Brockton. I had an appointment. Why am I still waiting?
Speaker 3:if you've ever been to the Brockton, it takes forever. So the way that all played out and I was still able to go home, I hung out with my kids and they were all in good spirits. I bought them chicken nuggets chicken nuggets, little chicken nuggets and it made me feel good about what I accomplished. I slept like a baby and I woke up completely calm.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry it's over there. I got some chicken nuggets.
Speaker 2:Y'all know, this time of the day I get hungry.
Speaker 4:She said that she's going to get her a 20 piece.
Speaker 1:I might, I might. That's the bad part. Apparently, she got the money for it.
Speaker 2:Piece of what I don't have any money.
Speaker 3:I don't know what this money that you speak of what strategies do you employ to maintain motivation when odds are against you?
Speaker 4:fuck everybody.
Speaker 2:I just really be thinking about not going to jail. I keep telling you that, um, that's really what keeps me going, not going to jail.
Speaker 3:Is it not the chicken nuggets?
Speaker 2:No, not the chicken nuggets. Right now, it's chicken nuggets.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm thinking like right now it might be the chicken nuggets when I get out of here.
Speaker 2:I am hungry, but I think, yeah, I think it's.
Speaker 4:I don't know if I necessarily call it a strategy. It's more of a mindset, Because my mindset now is I just I want to be around. And it's not just for me, not just to see my daughter grow, but I want to be around for my grandkids. That's my mentality. You're going to be a good-ass grandpa, because the way my daughter talks, she's going to have 20,000 kids.
Speaker 4:You're going to be a good-ass grandpa, because she wants a big family, because she don't understand why she ain't got no siblings. And we keep telling her you don't understand why she ain't got no siblings. And we keep telling her you don't have siblings because you won't get out my goddamn bed. So, um, uh, so that that's my thing like, because I don't know if I told you, mcfly, I did that, um, that body scan. She had the gym and it was like, uh, you know, um, estimated like lifespan, and that shit said 76.
Speaker 4:I said what the fuck? And then my, my own boy, anthony's, like the same thing, it's not bad. I said you don't, it's not bad to you because your ass is 27. I said when you about to be 40 and you see that you only got 37 summers left, that shit hit different. I said so I need that number to go up. I said so that that's a different motivation for me, like I'm just, I'm just trying to make that sure that number goes. I don't want to be the reason why I hit that number, I want to be the reason why I go above that number.
Speaker 4:Now if something else happens, because I understand that life is life. I got to live with that, or not really. But I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure I'm doing the right thing to be around for as long as possible.
Speaker 1:I just don't believe that they're stacked against me.
Speaker 2:Period. It's just work.
Speaker 1:That's all I get. It's just work. Yeah, put a little more weight on that bar I mean I did. I didn't videotape it, but nigga I did 50 of them Like come on. You did a great job. Give me some slack. Great job, god damn, it don't even work out and my shit was just like god damn, these 25s hurt my arms right now, like but no, that's. I think that's what kind of it's like, because position that like we're in in life is like it's been worse.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, I'm like if this is what's bad, then this is good. Yeah, hopefully one day this is this is like the bottom of my shit, or like this doesn't exist, like you know what I mean. Whatever those odds are, hopefully somewhere longer down my life I'm gonna look back at this and be like I'll never be in that position and I thought that was bad. You know what I mean. Now, my bad is my best.
Speaker 3:So if that makes you know what I mean like reverse and stack up everything in life?
Speaker 1:is it just work? I don't know. I guess I kind of look at it that Did you answer?
Speaker 2:I think so. I told you I didn't want to go to jail, but my real answer is because I didn't answer neither one of them questions but my real answer is you even flied?
Speaker 2:it. Hey, I am a firm believer of turning your pain into power. Like super, I live by that. I think that's how I've been able to cope with so many of the tragic things that have happened. I always find a way to turn that circumstance into something that's helpful to somebody else, something that might motivate the next person to keep pushing forward, forward. So I think that's how, ultimately, it wraps back around to me, and so if I'm motivating and inspiring somebody else, I ultimately inspire myself.
Speaker 3:That's what's up so I can't make fly it but you can no, you guys, uh, uh baby, that's how moby sings I've always been inspired by when I feel like the odds are against me, because that's what I feel like kind of sculpted the mc uh outlook on life, because I always felt like and I've told you the stories of the, the situations I've had with being a rapper and every time something happened where people tried to, like I don't know, take my legs from under me or something, it always motivated me to be dope, bless you, bless you. And I was like I must be doing something right. If you feel like you have to attack me, you have to attack me. When the odds feel like they're against me, I feel like this is where you kind of show the preparation is actually, you know, there.
Speaker 2:So it's like okay, I feel like, if you're saying I can't do it.
Speaker 4:I'm like, oh, watch me. I'm a firm believer now that an increase in opposition means that you're doing something right.
Speaker 1:I don't necessarily because I do believe in the. There's a lack of doubt from people too. That's also there too, because you could be doing. You could do it without having people push or whatever. You know what.
Speaker 1:I mean Push you or push back. Push back Because that's like I try to be motivated by, like lack of doubt too, like where people are like you can do it. And there's like because sometimes I think, when I'm doing all right and something you're doing great, like in my head I'm like, well, wait till you see me do great.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Like I'm not there yet in my head.
Speaker 4:So, but to your point, kevin. I was like point, kevin.
Speaker 3:It's like similar what.
Speaker 4:I'm saying, like your standard, it's not going to always be the same as someone else's standard. So if, if, if their standards below, if your standard is above theirs, oh, I don't, I don't hear them with that right, right, but to them, but they push it. I'm like oh, but, but in their eyes, but in their eyes, but in their eyes you're doing great, because you're already above what they, what they're saying, because a lot of times most people are not meeting their standards.
Speaker 4:So if you're doing above their standards, you're doing great. That's why. That's why they have those, that's why you get those those subtle shade comments or they you know quick responses because they feel like okay, well, a lot of people like I say A lot of people. Just, they don't know how to be happy for other people because they feel like they're in competition.
Speaker 4:They feel like it's a competition and if you're winning, that means they can't win, when the truth is the matter is we all can win at the same time it's enough for us all.
Speaker 1:I think people it's like people take you can be in competition. It's the same as being in a sport. In a sport, only in that moment, right there, you should take that competition, not in just a life, because those motherfuckers are going to blast each other on a football field, trying to murder each other, but at the end of it they're like hey, you played a hell of a game, big dog, sorry, we beat you, or whatever, but you know what I'm saying? It's a different competition because it's two people who are giving their absolute best in that regard.
Speaker 4:So I do agree with you is in that, yeah, because you got people who ain't. Yeah. But in that regard I will say that it's a game, can recognize game, yeah, you know. But the problem is is that when you refuse to recognize my game because it's better than yours or you're falling short at your own.
Speaker 3:Yeah I agree, I agree so um ass niggas, how do you redefine failure in the journey toward your achieving?
Speaker 4:achieving the impossible it's not a failure it's not a failure it's a lesson absolutely I think.
Speaker 3:I think it's a failure, but you got to learn the lesson in the failure I don't, I can't, I don't think.
Speaker 2:Anything I've done so far has been a failure.
Speaker 4:I don't know them shoes their shoes?
Speaker 2:were them shoes? Had the the ladies going crazy? I had a lady follow me around walmart. I had a lady follow me around Walmart. I had a lady follow me around a phone company. I had a lady follow me in Target. You said a phone company. You make fun of me.
Speaker 1:What did you say? You said you had people follow you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and ask me like hey, where'd you get your shoes? Can you make me some?
Speaker 1:I don't believe you.
Speaker 2:I swear to God I will call my husband right now make me some.

Speaker 2:Y'all know the fuck I was talking about hey daddy.
Speaker 1:Hey, daddy was with me. That's funny. So it wasn't harry. Harry didn't tap you on the shoulder, it was like oh girl, no, no, it was.
Speaker 2:These were all like younger. Somebody asked me could I make them for her and could I make her a matching bathing suit for her rave for her rave. She was going to and I think I'm going to, because I was like girl yes, at the end of the year, she going to a rave. I said girl, I got you, is it in?
Speaker 3:California can we?
Speaker 1:get her on the show? Yeah, yeah, the whole shebang. She asked me. She was like can?
Speaker 2:you make me a bathing suit y'all hating me but the bottom line is for I am a trend setter and y'all hate on it, and that's just what it is whenever you have a plus size girl that's not really afraid to like pop her shit.
Speaker 3:You're gonna always have people following but I'm not hating, I'm not hating. I applauded, I be popping my shit.
Speaker 1:We're not hating on your trend setting, we just hating on them shoes that was cute.
Speaker 2:And now, because you said the next time y'all see me, y'all gonna see them, damn shoes, you know what period and a match period make a hat too. You got a hat. I ain't putting on no damn hat, because I don't mean wearing hats, okay, but it was cute. The outfit was. Y'all was just hating.

Speaker 2:What made me laugh though I even go like yo youngest your wife was like he wore them shoes. She was like yeah, gracie got.
Speaker 1:She got a lot of me in her.
Speaker 2:She didn't say nothing, she just was like she didn't say nothing, she just was like girl. She's got a huge personality.
Speaker 1:She's so cute she in trouble all day so whose answer so far? All of us how do you redefine failure?

Speaker 4:Okay, what's the last question?
Speaker 1:question. Yeah, you just answered, he did. He didn't answer that one. Yeah, my bad, we all did okay what's the last question?
Speaker 2:we need to wrap this shit up because I'm starting to get hungry.
Speaker 4:I want a chicken somebody get her a sandwich.
Speaker 3:I'm finna be at the goddamn Papa Smash Burgers how do you celebrate small victories along the way of achieving your larger goals and shout out to Papa Smash Burgers?
Speaker 2:shout out with the soft buns and the wacko meat. I celebrate the small victories by achieving your larger goals and shut out the Papa smash burgers. Shut out. I celebrate with the soft buns and a wacko meat Go ahead.
Speaker 4:I celebrate the small victories by using that momental forward to keep pushing.
Speaker 2:Yep, yep, that's kind of how I do it.
Speaker 4:Cause every now and then. You need that, you need the dub.
Speaker 3:I took it. I will say it. I took like a, like a, a big sigh and I. I went to papa smash burgers and I got a burger as a cheat day and enjoyed it. I'm dead serious too.
Speaker 2:I, oh, I savored that burger I know you did with the soft, but and the spicy sauce, the spicy sauce and how to get the damn bun so soft it's like it's a brioche bun, I believe it's like soft, but it doesn't become soggy in between the meat and with the meat in between it. And that's what be throwing me off, because most of the time when your bun is soft like that, it becomes soggy, but everything just stays exactly how it's supposed to, to the last bite. That shit is so good.
Speaker 3:I'll start water.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I'm definitely yeah. Let me stop so good the spicy sauce is bomb.
