Speaker 1:They reacted to shit I've done.
Speaker 3:So there is that shit. I was like so you, so you just triggered me, right. So the first time I went, you know um from the accident, I triggered me, right. So the first time I went, you know um from the accident, I have like blood bristles on the side where I made contact with the ground and that shit is still kind of swollen. It's been swollen for it's fucking over a year now, right, but it's slowly going down. That motherfucker was massaging the area. I had to grip the table to not hit this nigga, but I I was like not going to see me cry, Not going to see me cry.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm going to stick with these girly ass massages, but when he, uh, he was done, I was like he's like how you feel? I said I feel great, I feel awesome and I'm thinking to myself you, you didn't get any fucking reaction from me and that was my goal. I I accomplished that shit. But I talked to joseph albert. He's like who who massage you? He was like was the black guy. I said no, some hispanic dude with the skull cap he goes, is his name tom? I said I think it was time. He's like oh, tap out time.

Speaker 1:yeah, I guess I had one of them thai massages in thailand and I was like like confused because I didn't know what it was. Just you could tell they do this too often, because she was just on the phone the whole time just standing on my back and I was like, is this still on the phone?
Speaker 3:That's not. We went to a Thai massage in Rancho and it was a couple massage, right. And so me and the wife, we get in the room and I was like what the fuck are these poles up here for?
Speaker 1:They were up there holding your poles Standing on your ass.
Speaker 3:Standing on your back. I said God damn. But it felt good. I said, but this bitch really got her feet in my back.

Speaker 2:Yeah, I've seen it from a distance, but they're not usually straight. True, because they'll be like the best braider in that area, but they ain't usually straight. It's usually that dude, that he nice.
Speaker 3:I'll tell you right now if you a dude, you can do hair. You gonna have money forever. Yeah, because the woman cause the woman gonna come to you that's not true.
Speaker 1:I'm not gonna say this nigga's name, but he did hair. Okay, you gotta be good at it Kevin, nah he he was good he been doing it, but he just that nigga never had money and then somehow was mad at me for him be a homeless and I'm like nigga, this ain't my, you can do hair oh shit, midfire did we?
Speaker 2:have we not even do the wings yeah, yeah, that's true I would just say that the massage is awesome and we're gonna go ahead and get to the shenanigans um shenanigans again, again. We know why these are curated from and for. Okay, so this next one I was gonna call it Nick, I ain't got it um. Personal experiences with money. Can we share time when you felt financially secure versus insecure, and how did those experiences shape the perspective on money currently? Uh, how did those experiences shape the perspective on?
Speaker 3:money currently. Uh, I know exactly when I felt financially secure when I got that, when I got my, when I started driving and, uh, when my check, when, when one, when one, when one of my checks paid my rent and like two bills, I was like nigga, it's going to be a fucking breeze.
Speaker 1:That's nice.
Speaker 3:And then that was just my check and I still had the wifey check and at that time, like I was making like maybe like 200 more than the wife Nigga, life was good, Life was hella good. Like I was making like maybe like 200 more than the wife Nick, a life was good, Life was hella good. I'm waiting for the. And then we had to fuck around, buy a house and get pregnant God damn.
Speaker 2:Oh my.
Speaker 3:God. I mean, when we bought the house, it wasn't bad because we both were still working. But then, you know, I topped out, hit the top bracket, and you know. And then I told her she didn't have to work and then inflation hit. That's a weird combination, ain't it? I said motherfucker? I said I told you I could carry everything before inflation. This inflation hit. I mean, I'm still carrying shit, but inflation hit different. My wife tried to play me a couple months ago. She was like, well, we're sitting down with another couple, You're never talking about that high value shit again, right? And she was like, well, I don't even know if he made six figures. I said, hold on, calm your ass down, because before I stopped working I was already a six figure. Nigga, don't come for me, nigga. And then, if you include, you know my, my disability, I'm well over nigga.
Speaker 2:When you said calm your ass down, you said something like Kamala. I was like god damn, you channeled that and that response no, I would never channel.
Speaker 3:Kamala's ambiguous racial ass.
Speaker 1:Black history. My nigga, come on man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, black history, nigga, come on. Yeah, black history, nigga. She not part of it? Um, yeah, but that that was it. Uh, now, uh, yeah, that's probably what I felt the most funny after this when I was able to cause I had a, you know, it was a good, good run where I was like nigga, alright, I wanna go out to eat three, four times a week, buy whatever fuck. I want to go out to eat three, four times a week, buy whatever the fuck I want. I wasn't looking, you know, I knew I was good when I wasn't looking forward to payday Because I still had money from the last payday. I feel you, you know what I mean Like that.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:I got another hit. Oh shit, no one here. Okay, let's do a little I don't know nothing about that.
Speaker 2:I don't know nothing about that at all.
Speaker 3:Like you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:I don't know what you're saying at all, not at all.
Speaker 1:Yeah, trying to think I think the most. I felt secure At first. I thought it was when I was getting fucking stupid ass checks from loans and I could just buy shit. And then I learned about money and they're like nigga, you got to pay that back in like double this ain't free money.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, start to fix that shit and like getting shit paid off, and I think more of like now is probably when I feel the most secure and it's like just cause I could lose my job and still be cool Like that's, that's a great flex right there.
Speaker 3:I can't do that. I lose my job. I'm crying.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying that's like the best feeling in the world. We're going to be tighter, obviously, but that was, yeah, that was the thing where it's just like all right, yeah, we're fine, I'm not going to be homeless.
Speaker 3:I got insurance policies for that. We just want no lights on my insurance would be a cardboard box under a bridge.
Speaker 1:I don't know how it works. I think I will let you sleep on a damn bridge, my garage right there I mean, I mean I probably come home and we could just sell the house and get a smaller, but I don't know. It's just all those things like it. It it's a different feeling, like buying this shit changed a lot, because it's like you learn a certain things what you could do with the money and how you can make it help you without fucking it up.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying like certain things you can pull, like the home equity and all that shit, and if you're in a pinch, hey gotta do what you gotta do. But it's like i't had no shit like that before, so that's just a great feeling. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3:It's a blessing, no, no.
Speaker 2:There was a one time I felt secure was before I got a house. I hadn't even I barely hit top rate. I think it was a good two or three, four, maybe four months, five months, um, where I was like damn, I know what. Now I know what top rate feels like this and you know, rent wasn't crazy expensive so and she was working and everything was rent wasn't crazy expensive and she was working and everything was on the come up so I could save like nothing and I was like this is awesome. Until you start looking at houses, oh yeah, and you're like, oh, okay, that changed everything, because it was like, okay, that's way more expensive than rent.
Speaker 1:Yeah, At first.
Speaker 2:Yeah at first, yeah at first, now, now, now shit, like I look at people's rent, I'm like, oh shit, my mortgage is way less than that I'll say you know what the motherfucker the part the a single bedroom going for like 22 yeah, I said right now it's like the rent's way more expensive than my mortgage shit, single a single bedroom, nigga.
Speaker 2:My mortgage is 17 that's accurate because when I was looking, trying to get that guy at that time, I was looking for a house shit. 2100 was the the starting rate for most places for a two-bedroom at that time in 2020 yeah, can I say this real quick?
Speaker 3:Stop calling me. I'm not refinancing, I'm not putting out equity. I got this 2.3% and I'm keeping this motherfucker, I don't give a fuck how much you offer me, I don't care, no one's going to beat that.
Speaker 2:That's what they told me. They said nigga, you can try to refinance, but you ain't finding nothing better than this like if you ain't coming, if you ain't coming with a 1.9, don't don't talk to me that's they told me. They said we can, we. I'm just we're gonna cut through the bullshit. We can't do it. That's what they told me. They were like we ain't gonna find, you ain't gonna find nothing better than what you got.
Speaker 1:I said fuck you know, what's funny is I got a call like that the other day but it was like weird because he didn't know what to do, because he didn't even ask me my interest rate or nothing. He was like so you, um, you looking to do anything like, and I was just like, well, you called me and they called me. He said does that say the the thing?
Speaker 3:they don't ask this the thing they don't tell you is that when you buy a house, that that transaction is public record and so the whole process is public, so they can pull your information from the deed and from the title, from who owns the title, and that's how they be contacting you, because I get the goddamn text message hey man, we saw your house, bitch Ain't. Nobody came on my damn house. You just want to read Like I'm not selling my house, bro, like calm down. Because one guy asked me like how much, how much? How much would it need to be for you to sell the house? I said, when you got 10 million, you can have it.
Speaker 2:You got 10 mil, we can, we can walk around yeah, I think cash, I think some people hard to bargain I'm with it I've seen a couple people in that area now that looks like that they had all those old properties and shit that they're trying to build on. I'm pretty sure they paid them.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Because for the longest time they wouldn't sell. But now suddenly Times are hard.
Speaker 1:Sometimes they go look, nigga, take this one because the next one ain't going to be as much. That's the scary part with that. That's the scary part with that. But you know, what makes me happy with that is it actually clears a lot of brush, so we don't have to worry too much about that shit as much anymore, about the new construction, fires and shit. Yeah, cause over here that shit used to just be I was like it's gonna catch us dog?
Speaker 3:it's about to build more houses the thing is I used to see them do like the control burns all the time. Once it got a certain length, the firefighter would come out and they would do a controlled burn of the fields closest to houses and establishments. So it couldn't carry over his shit.
Speaker 1:I mean you could go out as a citizen and I'm not doing that shit, shit.
Speaker 3:I'm kidding. Arson is a real crime. I put a motherfucker away for that. You're right that motherfucker got 20 years. I'm good I ain't burning shit they won't believe that what we got, Debts and savings.
Speaker 2:How do you prioritize?
Speaker 3:Nick, how do you expect me to save when eggs is $13 a goddamn dust? How do you expect me to save when eggs is $13 a goddamn dozen?
Speaker 2:how do you prioritize paying down debt while trying to save or invest?
Speaker 3:I think the main factor is you have to people, you gotta take a hard look and just live within your means and you have to get rid of shit you don't need. Like I told my wife the other day, I said, hey, netflix is getting too big for their britches I thought you were going a different path.
Speaker 3:They're gonna get to cut the fuck off they. I'm cutting off that shit. Add up. Yeah, that's it, dude. Shout out and shout out to my girls at starbucks. They don't charge me, no more. Well, don't put them out. I just said my girls. I don't say no names. Well, don't put them out. I just said my girl, I didn't say her name they just give you free shit nah, I mean cause I do my protein coffee so I'm not really getting.
Speaker 3:I'm just getting some espresso shots. That shit ain't free Starbucks. I mean, I don't pay, I pay sometimes shout out to them, though nah shout out.
Speaker 1:Shout out, that's nice of y'all. I appreciate them. That's nice of y'all I appreciate that.
Speaker 3:That's nice of y'all. We like family now. Oh yeah, I walk in.
Speaker 2:I say what's up, family, you have your own version of protein shots.
Speaker 1:Oh, when I be spewing, it's only protein too.
Speaker 3:It's only that.
Speaker 1:That is important, though, the in your means or but um, I think, saving and and um paying bills, debts and all that stuff is like you gotta prioritize what's what's important. Important, yeah, and sometimes you can't save shit if it's actually you can save a lot of money.
Speaker 3:You can convince your kids to cut the fucking lights off, because I don't know why kids feel like the whole house gotta be lit at all times, I guess I shouldn't say that I can just not travel.
Speaker 1:Sacrifice is important, yeah you gotta.
Speaker 3:You gotta save up. Save up for what you want you gotta I gotta save up. Save up for what you want, you gotta I'm trying this thing you have to sorry.
Speaker 1:You have to get away from the culture of instant gratification yeah, I'm trying this little, one of those little, not the book, but it's almost the same concept where you take a like a certain dollar amount each week or whatever, and then put it away where you putting it that's why we're not doing the book. We're doing digital in a bank account that has no cards. Yeah, so you know things like that.
Speaker 3:see, I thought I was slick because I thought like, uh, I gotta save the account that has no card. You got to go in the bank. You know what? I just walked in the bank, but you know what you want to know.

Speaker 3:You can't build it. If you ain't got it, you're going to be cut back.
Speaker 2:That's why I initially said in this I ain't got it, Nick, you can't build it.
Speaker 3:If you ain't got it, you got to cut back. I think some people realize some people think things are necessities that are really not necessities and I think that we you got to be comfortable with being uncomfortable with certain things if you're trying to achieve goals.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sacrifice.
Speaker 3:So you know no eating out, no extracurriculars.
Speaker 1:Or five ones that are cheap.
Speaker 3:I'm not going to go as extreme to the one guy or five ones that are cheap. I'm not gonna go ahead and scream to the one guy who he was like. He was like no netflix, no, nothing like, no, no, no apple music no, nothing. I said damn, like you look niggas out here using pandora yeah, usually the 65 year olds.
Speaker 1:You know what?
Speaker 3:I mean, but so, but it's. I think the biggest thing you have to do is you have to sit down and make a realistic budget and then stick to it. And you have to be, you have to be willing to give up a lot, of, a lot of comforts. Yep, if you're, if you're, at a point where you can't put anything back, you gotta be willing to give up a lot of comforts. If you're at a point when you can't put anything back, you got to be willing to give up a lot of comforts. I mean, now, if you're in a bind where you're just trying to get back to something, then you'll be in that situation. That's different. But, like, if you really can't, you know what I mean. So and there's also the term of you know, and there's also the term of hustle harder, only fair. Invest in yourself, maybe go back to school, be an electrician.
Speaker 1:Or a trade.
Speaker 3:Be a welder. You know, maybe go something and do something that's going to earn you a higher income.
Speaker 1:I got to ask you what are you going to do at all events? Ha ha, ha, ha ha.
Speaker 2:Ha ha. I'm ambidextrous with my hands. So you got. What are you going to do at all events?
Speaker 1:I'm ambidextrous with my hands.
Speaker 2:I said you got to be careful. You got to be careful.
Speaker 1:I'm going to tell you like this Turn the comments off. You don't want to know who's watching. Both hands oh shit, that's funny. Both hands oh shit, that's funny yeah, that's.
Speaker 2:You ain't gonna be the only one seamanless.
Speaker 3:I don't know how we keep going back here oh shit, it's seamless.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, it is. That is the biggest thing, though, is the sacrifice. Oh shit, it's seamless. Oh shit, um, it is. That is the biggest thing, though, is the sacrifice Cause, like you said, like I'm in that right now where I'm like, fuck it, I'll pay some shit off. Well, when they ask it's going to be a lot of notes, you want to go out, you can come to the house. Yeah, I got some chicken and shit, I'll cook it. So it's in that. But it's like the plan, like, I guess, budgeting, yeah, you got to sit down and really do it, not just say, all right, we're going to save $3,000 this week, and you're like no, you ain't Nigga.
Speaker 2:how? What's the plan? You just made me think of that goddamn meme. No, you're not. No, you're not.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So that's the most important.
Speaker 3:I mean one thing people can do. If it's a possibility, you can move back home for a while, get your shit together. If it's a possibility, I understand that's not available to everyone. I understand that's not, that's not available to everyone. Or you can if you have siblings or are you can, are you close friends? You trust you can move into a situation to where you can probably do the whole roommate thing, where you guys can pull your money together and make life a little easier on you so you can't save up you know what that sounds like to me?
Speaker 1:you gotta have a little humility. Yeah, sometimes you gotta humble yourself and shit, I'm fucked up. Hey, I'm fucked up moving next week well, no more rooms, I ain't got no more rooms. We can convert this.
Speaker 3:We just move your bed into a murphy bed so this, yeah, you thinking about it, yeah, I mean that's like if you're going to have to do something, that's going to be uncomfortable Period.
Speaker 1:I'm going back to school. Yeah, I mean, I had some shit at work where I was like they said some shit and I was like oh, so, like, if, if I stay in this position, this, this is it, this is it. So it's like I either got to move or make myself more. I don't like saying presentable, but you know what I mean More.
Speaker 3:You got to elevate it. More titles, yeah, more skills, yeah. Talent, yeah Something whatever elevated. More titles, yeah.
Speaker 1:More skills, yeah, talents yeah something, whatever the fuck they want to call it, but they're like, hey, you don't want to give me this number. Oh, well then.
Speaker 3:I gotta go. So yeah, you know so your advice was this only fans yes, both hands.
Speaker 1:Both hands, both hands ambidextrous and turn the comments off invest in a good lotion.
Speaker 2:Your advice was this OnlyFans, yes, both hands, both hands, both hands Amidextrous, and turn the comments off. Invest in a good lotion.
Speaker 1:Okay, they think I'm jacking off at work because somebody bought lotion in and they're like who's lotion is? I was like it's not mine. Oh, night Crew's in here jacking off and I'm like I'm not.
Speaker 2:All right. So we're switching it to cultural pressures and financial choices right Okay. So how do societal expectations or cultural pressures influence spending habits in black communities? One and have you ever felt the need to keep up financially with your peers or family, and how do you handle that shit?
Speaker 3:Okay, For the second part, my answer is no. I never felt the needed to keep up um. For the first part, I felt like um, especially in the black community. We put too much emphasis and importance on labels and appearance of looking like we have something. Um, for lack of better terms. I feel like a majority of black people are label whores. I got the New Yorks on this is Louis, this is Gucci, this is a Birkin bag. Whatever, the case may be right and I feel like I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 1:I feel like.
Speaker 3:I'm not talking about y'all, but you know they say a hit dog gonna holler, uh ouch it's a drip but, um, I felt like that it goes.
Speaker 3:Another thing of of like we're talking about earlier, about living within your means and, uh, living um in a budget and being using your money wisely, right Like there's no reason why and it's it's, it's a common thing. There's no reason why you should you should be driving a Mercedes, living in an apartment. There's no reason why you should be dressed from from head to toe and Louie living in a guy that depends on the apartment. Okay. That depends on the apartment. Living in the hood, I'll say the hood, right.
Speaker 2:You remember those mobile home parks right there by that postal annex place you ran into me at yeah, them shits is rough, right. When I saw brand new BMWs and that motherfucker I was like more than mortgage, more than rent, and I think it's it's.
Speaker 3:It's people get so caught up in the notion of appearing to have money than actually the actual action of actually having money, and I like it though.
Speaker 2:I just know that BMW that I saw. I was like man, this BMW you might as well live in. This motherfucker, it looks nicer than what the fuck it stands.
Speaker 3:So I mean, that's the thing. I just feel like a lot of people don't use their resources properly.
Speaker 1:Keeping up with the Joneses. This is a lot of, because I wear my jewelry but I know it's fake as fuck. Everybody else knows it's fake. But then it's like you see some niggas who go out there and buy real jewelry where you're like, hey man, hey, probably a bad idea, Like, if you like it, just get the fake shit.
Speaker 3:Ocho said he wore fake jewelry his whole career.
Speaker 1:But to me I feel like I'm a. It sounds weird, like I'm going to move to the next level when I can, and then, when I can move to the next level, I'm probably not Because I'm going to be like I'm not going to walk around with that much money on my neck, like that's crazy, I guess for me, like, I've always been different.
Speaker 3:That's why I said the second part is no, right, I don't really care. I'm not a. I don't really care what the public opinion me is or how I look or how I dress, and I've never been one to really obsess over brand names, right, especially like, and I'm not a flashy person. So I'm not really big on jewelry. Now, where my vice is, I like expensive electronics, yeah, that's yeah. So you know what I'm saying. Like I won't drop like 10,000 on a necklace or a watch, but I'm probably never gonna do that, but I'll drop a couple stacks on a tv and someone and a computer and shit like that. I'll do that, yeah, but I feel like it's worth it. You know, I'm saying I don't, I I feel I I see jewelry as cosmetic, yeah, something that's not necessarily needed, it's just to Make an 85-inch TV, ain't needed.
Speaker 3:It is, it is.
Speaker 2:That's needed when you see a price sometimes I don't know I saw one for like, was it?
Speaker 3:500 bucks at.
Speaker 2:Walmart or some shit, and I was like 85 inches.
Speaker 1:you say I'd be bougie in there when I see that shit. I'm like Walmart nigga. They ain't got. No, they ain't got right.
Speaker 3:So I mean it's, but it's just like they do.
Speaker 1:Got them cheap ass, they do it's just um.
Speaker 3:I. I do feel like two people, too many people are trying to keep up an illusion and they care, which I mean. You should care to some degree how you're perceived, but I don't think you should be wasting money to be. You don't have to be.
Speaker 1:There's ways to be, to present yourself well, without being dress head to toe, I mean I do what makes you happy, but don't do it because other people think you do it for the right reasons yeah, because I like how I look in this shit and I'm like, nigga, I like this shit, but it's not like if somebody's like, look at that fake ass shit, I'm like, yeah, you're right, nigga. Like I don't give a fuck, so it's, it's the keeping up with the joneses, is that's, that's our culture thing. I don't know where I came from.
Speaker 3:I wonder, swear I'll get you guys a lesson later but no, I don't have the.
Speaker 1:I won't do the. What do you say? It's not. What's the words for the last part, with the friends trying to keep up with them, friends and family. Yeah, I don't necessarily try to keep up with the friends. Trying to keep up with them, friends and family yeah, I don't necessarily try to keep up with my friends and family, but when I see my friends and family doing well, it is motivating. Yeah, and I'm happy for him yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 3:Never hate him. Hell. No, I hit him with. I'm trying to get like you player. I don't do that, that's not hate if they ask certain things I'm really
Speaker 2:trying to get like you. That's hate. I'm really trying to get like you?
Speaker 3:in our culture that's shade but I'm really trying to get like you. I ain't never said that to somebody, I didn't mean that shit to understand that the phrase.
Speaker 1:It's derived from hate Cause, something like I'm trying to get like you, that one, and then Better man to Me.
Speaker 3:Now, when I say that shit, there is a little shade in that shit I'm telling you, you said it to me, nigga, I'm just going to point that out. Yeah, I know there's a little shade in that shit. That's me telling you nigga. I ain't putting up with that.
Speaker 2:So um, I will say what's funny is I never really gave a fuck about how I was perceived, but uh, and in the last few years, especially looking at my memory pictures like I was like damn. Um, recently is when I started giving a fuck about just appearance as far as taking care of my hair or stuff like that. But that was mainly out of necessity too, because when I literally started to think about how much money was costing to upkeep hair, it was actually cheaper for me to do braids because the duration shit. Think about it like, if you're, if you got to get your hair cut, the average like let's use mark for example every week right every week, fuck that.
Speaker 2:I get my hair braided once a month and sometimes when I do this style, I can go fucking a month and a half to two thank god I ain't got no hair I mean I just go harry and henderson's until I look at myself and be like nigga.
Speaker 1:Just come on now, they're gonna get.
Speaker 3:I shave my head head twice a week. You know how much it costs me.
Speaker 2:Zero.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:I got to pay for razors, shaving cream and shit. How often do you pay for razors? Every two months, $18. So every week is zero.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I guess he wants us to break it down in averages and shit.
Speaker 2:I just know for me it's way more. It cost me about $350. It's more and more cost effective to pay when you think that the average haircut now is ridiculous, starting at $55, $50 is it?
Speaker 1:I was going to start going to a barber again, but looks like I'll be cutting my own hair. Still $50?
Speaker 3:yeah, I'll stop going to bar hair. Still $50? Yeah Damn, I couldn't do it. I stopped going to barbers when they started charging $25.
Speaker 2:So you think of the price, then you think about you want fucking your beard or whatever that's extra. Lined up. That's extra, that's extra.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm walking out, you're right. Yeah, hell no.
Speaker 3:Nigga. I went to get my beard shaved up twice and I was, and a nigga said $20. I said okay, so I did it twice. I ain't been back since.
Speaker 2:So on average you think that then you got some like the more experienced ones that have like extra techniques and shit. Now they're going up in the 80s. So you're like, if you're doing that weekly, that's a lot.
Speaker 3:That's a lot of money. Some of these social media niggas be charging $100 a cut.
Speaker 2:Yeah, shit, more than that. That one nigga. That nigga be charging $200, $300 per cut, but then if they're flying in, they're paying way more. Hold on, I'm going to tell you like this.
Speaker 1:If you're going to charge me that much, I'm going to just go to barber school.
Speaker 3:Hold on, I saw a clip of Stephen A and he was talking about how a dude, a barber in LA, tried to charge him like $750 for a cut because he had to pay for travel and then time and all that shit. And he was like this is ridiculous. I was like Stephen A, let's be real, it's ridiculous. I was like Stephen A, let's be real, it's ridiculous because you ain't got no fucking hairline your shit's in the middle. You got a half cut. They got to shave half your head to make it.
Speaker 2:They can put miles on his clippers.
Speaker 1:It's fucked up. I mean Poor Stephen A's. The funny thing is that the nigga admitted.
Speaker 3:He said I'm trying to save what I got and I'm like nigga, you don't got it, give it up, give it up.
Speaker 1:Uh, you can't tell nobody I told my, my co-worker, that, and then I was like, oh, I saw, I saw the pain in his heart like when I was like hey, man, like you gotta, like, because you gotta, because it's like this, but then it don't connect right here so it's just a patch and I'm like it's time. You gotta let that go, because you got a middle patch like a troll.
Speaker 3:You gotta let it go or you gotta go to Turkey and get them implants like everybody else.
Speaker 1:I did say that.
Speaker 3:I did say that he was like oh, come on, man, you would think of how much money Stephen A got. He wouldn't got them implants already, but he just refuses to go get them implants, have you?
Speaker 2:ever heard barbers talk no, when they like have to save hairlines and shit, they be mad. They be talking, they be they be like they should be charging me. I should be charging this much, just to you know, save their hairline the way that shit like you're like damn, yeah, damn, I don't.
Speaker 3:That's what I thought about, so I don't even say that loud damn. You say 50 dollars for what?
Speaker 2:for cuts, yeah you got two sons, why are you?
Speaker 1:bringing that shit up. That's and that's the price now damn I just paid 20 for Andreas damn for kids right now.

And you're like, oh yes, you see how all the shit we did, this shit that's going to be interesting to watch that as she gets older and you're like oh, she's our fan.
Speaker 1:For our own shit, it's not. You see how all this shit.
Speaker 2:We did this shit ain't for you. Have you been trying to maneuver towards her working at some Disney affiliated company?
Speaker 1:Nah, oh, I know enough people that work there probably make it work out.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 1:I don't talk to them, so maybe that's probably not cool to just call him like hey, can I get some tickets?
Speaker 3:Hey Nick, let me in the park, huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't do that.
Speaker 2:That's my fallback, so go work there. I just told you one part, oh, okay. The other part is this goddamn podcast. That's long term for retirement. That's for me, because I feel like this shit definitely has what it takes.
Speaker 3:Do you think we should launch a? I don't think. I'm going to retire.
Speaker 2:This would just be my gig, yeah my gig where I'm like hey, you got to do that every day, oh.
Speaker 3:You think we should launch a headway podcast?
Speaker 2:Patreon.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 2:Go fund me.
Speaker 3:Crypto.
Speaker 2:Not, not after Hawk Tua. How would, if you got some shit that aligns with Trump? Maybe not Hawk Tua, though we black we too black for that, yeah that's it. Yeah, that's. I can see that and um, I have other ideas, but I don't. Content creation is important, but uh, it's just finding the right avenue to um play it on, cause I, what I saw with TikTok is fucking crazy. It just kind of made me be like, hmm, fickle, like it's oh, yeah, but we went through it too people were crashing out though we've had several of them disappear, but we didn't grow up with just that too.
Speaker 1:That's part of my shit, though, is like the number in mind that I have in my head. I'm like I feel like that'll help me be able to put into this and all that stuff too, so it's like whatever number you have, double it. Ah, nigga, Then that's going to be like I'm going to have to do some shit, so y'all only fans nigga.
Speaker 3:Well, y'all niggas, the only fans I'll, just I'll get that blue magic poppin red note might just nevermind. I'm just playing. I'm not pushing the weight yeah, that's yep nope what that review?
