All right, this episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by Stateside with Kai and Carter, a new podcast from The Guardian. And they are using this podcast to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions that we all have about what's happening in the world. And they do it three times a week, Jason. Does that sound familiar to you? We don't really talk about, you know, a lot of international global news items and climates and cultures and sports and things like that. We do talk about fashion and wellness, but for everything else, Kai and Carter are a great place. All right, so who couldn't use more news? Listen wherever you get your podcasts. or watch on YouTube. How long gone? How long gone is here? What's up? I am Jason. That is Chris. We are recording live from Los Angeles. Just finished a workout. Moments ago, so I'm still sweaty, I'm still stinking, and I'm having a bug problem. I'm getting a lot of gnats and bugs all in my mouth area. Is that because you don't shower and the bugs are attracted to your scent, your natural pheromones, or are you thinking this is more of an overall issue in L.A.? I do shower sometimes, but I don't shower. pre-workup sure i usually do that after the workout sure i didn't know if you were a pre-post because after after our night last night i tell you what i need a fucking bath why why do you say that chris i just you know eating good when you're eating good when you have a cheeky cig when you're out a little bit too late you know what i mean a shower can help you wake up and start your day but instead i i had a i ran this morning and actually to my shock uh did quite well you're running on tired legs The Vanderslice method. Vanderslice method. Shout out to Vanderslice the fucking goat. I tell you what, man. The new Gary V. Yeah, he's honestly, he's our generation's Gary V. What a legendary guy. Thank him for joining us. Go see him on tour if you're in, you know.

2:08-4:13

Brussels or Reykjavik, you know, whatever. Go see him on the Silk Road if you need to buy some German cocaine. If you've got something to sell, you know where to find him. But yeah, we had a big dinner last night at LA's hottest Vegas restaurant, Evan Funke's Mother Wolf, located just in the heart of Hollywood. The heart of Hollywood. And we were invited by the king of streetwear delis, the triple OG queen's own Uncle Pauly. You've seen the hats. You've had the subs. And friend of the show, Al Wilmot, the proprietor of Gigi's. So it was just me and Jason, two lowly podcasters out on the town, carb loading with two restauranteurs. Pauly and I were kind of the back of house shouties. You and Al more of the front of house shouties. So it was a little bit of a, I don't know. It was an evenly matched. Dinner duo, offense and defense, of course. That's right. The funk man, Evan Funky, he wasn't there, but he posthumously sent out plate after plate of delicious Roman delicacies. I think at one point, Jason, and I didn't count because I didn't want to, there might have been six pasta dishes on the table. Yeah, there was probably six pasta dishes on the table. The only one that I had my eyes on, of course, was the rigatoni. which is the king of of the funk man's pastas by far uh it is quite good and also if you're tuning in for our guest you know just hit the fast forward button about 15 minutes if you don't want to hear two 40 year old white guys talk about different pasta dishes well i think that that the beauty of pasta is that it's it's cross-generational it kind of appeals to everyone i don't know if everyone has kind of the palate to enjoy the stuff that you do but us layman's were able to enjoy a spicy arrabbiata and as well as well as a classic cashew pepe a crisp favorite when he's feeling like a bad boy the room was full of uh persian guys in streetwear um it seats it seats literally 225 this restaurant is so fucking big i had no idea like i knew it was big i heard people say that but like

4:13-6:23

When you get in there, it really is like you're in entourage. You're going to Vegas with the boys for the weekend. It makes Balthazar look like a White Castle. It is quite impressive. It's quite impressive. The music, unfortunately. It was one of your favorite pairings. The high-end dining juxtaposed geniusly with the hip-hop style music. It wasn't as bad as it could have been. What? It wasn't as bad as Jonathan and Vincent's offerings. I mean, forgot about Dre is not really what I want to pair with a full-bodied red. People seem to enjoy that. I can't wait for a Jason 3000-word deep dive on who kind of... Obviously, Jonathan and Vincent kind of popularized it, but I feel like there might have been... I feel like New York's Lil' Frankie's in the mid-aughts would play hip-hop very loudly and it was cooler at the time because it wasn't like a foodie restaurant right you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah i i took part in that in that dining and people were also just like partying and doing coke you know what i mean it wasn't really it was more of a party setting i guess but I don't know, man. It's a flagrant foul, and I'm going to call it. When I think about dining and partying, I know that's a thing that you probably... I mean, is that a thing that you used to like but don't like anymore because of the sober lifestyle, or has it always been a wrong fit to pair those two things together? I think it's a wrong fit overall, but I also think that as hip-hop has become... popular music uh it kind of makes sense you know what i mean i mean it's like that it's it's like i but that's i guess what people wanted i guess i think it may be you answered my next question which would be it's less the music and more the setting itself yeah if i'm gonna be like eating at nobu in miami yeah let it spray bro let it spray but if i'm gonna be eating squash blossoms with uh with a uh amaro cart i i don't i mean i don't need

6:23-8:44

frank sinatra but i yeah no no i yeah that's a good idea i like that but you guys were you guys drank a lot of cocktails last night how are you feeling because i i feel like you kind of you guys are kind of putting them down i'm not feeling super d duper great that's for sure but i i knew that i had to also run on tired legs and i was able to push through and do a full workout and just kind of sweat it all out. And those bugs were eating up my Amaro sweat. That's probably why I was so stinking. That's a good point. The sweetness of the alcohol coming out of your thick veins could have attracted the bugs. And unfortunately, last night, we weren't able to get to the bottom of how Uncle Pauly gets the lettuce so cold. That will remain one of life's great mysteries. And we can let people like Bill Addison and other Food critics kind of unpack that stuff. We just had a good time. It seemed like everybody got drunk, of course, except me. And I was able to fill my alcohol and drug size void with some carbohydrates. So I'm not feeling my best today either. But I'm here to pod, Jason. That's what we fucking do. You know what I mean? Yeah, man. No days off. And as soon as we're done, we're going to, or as soon as I'm done editing, how long gone creative director Sam Jane is going to come scoop me up. in his lowered pickup truck, and we're going to head west to greener pastures, your home turf, check in with Chris and his other woos over there in Woo Hollywood, and have a nice powwow meal about Q3, spring, summer 23, how long gone, over at the San Vicente Bungalos, friends of the show. That's right, yeah, that's right. Hopefully, BJ Novak doesn't crash our table and try to order a Hendrix Neptunia. Could you imagine that brand synergy? Oh, fuck. You can never plan for these Hollywood nights. They kind of happen to you. You know what I mean? But yeah, we need to sit down with Sam Jane and really build and get our little ducks in a row. We've got a lot of stuff coming up. You know what I mean? And we need some creative to go along with that stuff, Jason. You know a little bit about that. Yeah, we need creative. We need assets. And it's nice to take advantage of living the high life over at the bungalows. Like, why meet over at Blue Bottle to talk about this PowerPoint?

8:44-10:50

presentation when we could be at the bungalow. That's right. Because like you said on the last episode, I think it's too hot over at Soho House right now, so we need to start looking at more sustainable options. Soho House ain't safe right now. You know what I mean? I can't do stand-up at the Hollywood Bowl. I can't go to the West Hollywood Soho House. There's only so many places we can go. Thank God. San Vicente Bunkalows has high security. Obviously, there's no cameras allowed, so no one can steal our PowerPoint. And I feel safe. You know what I mean? I feel safe there. I feel safe when I put the little sticker over my iPhone mini camera. Exactly. And, you know, in Glendale, I get a little nervous just with the drive-bys and stuff because the streets are kind of so wide and leafy. Yeah, don't come here. I'm not good in Glendale without TJ is what you're saying to me. There's no evidence to show that you would be, Chris. Do you think that Marin is good in Kenneth Village or do you think he's got to kind of bring a guy? eye with him he's definitely not good in kenneth village you're saying you're saying they won't serve him at yoga i mean until he gets a nice pair of yeezys like myself he's his his hands are tied he doesn't have a he doesn't have a ton of options you know it's funny because i i love to frequent that commissary coffee in kenneth village but the one in west hollywood i don't even think about going to i won't say it's because of you kelly clarkson voice but it's all because of just the demographic the area that you're in you know The clientele at my local coffee shop, calm, cool, and collected. Nothing but killers. And it's a murderer's row of espresso drinkers. And over in West Hollywood, it's just... StockX scammers trying to see if they have one of those Starbucks drinks that are pink because coffee tastes weird to them. I see a lot. You know, the pink Starbucks drink pairs so well with the skinny sweats. Oh, there's that El Serino horn honking once again, just like clockwork. I'll be right back. I need some Doritos. Why does the – yeah, the outfit of the pink drinker is an interesting – it's a trend I'm seeing. There's a certain look to the guy who orders that because you're right.

10:50-13:10

I guess ordering the pink drink at Starbucks is a female trait. Not to be sexist, but in terms of who's drinking that in my hood, I would say it is kind of... 14 year olds they're not ready for the coffee yet they're not they're not flipping jays they're just too young and their tummy might hurt but do those pink starbucks rings have caffeine in them or is it just like yummy juice i don't know i think it's probably like a a form of tea is my guess and it's like okay but it's probably sweetened heavily so that the caffeine intake is is they stepped all over the hibiscus is what you're saying you're getting the energy from the the stevia not the Not the caffeine is my guess. Well, speaking of coffee, I got sent the pack from Cometeer. I know. I want to try it. I was going to ask you to. Maybe you can bring me a couple pods tonight because I do want to try that. No, but I thought of you instantly once I got them because it's just a little hockey puck of frozen coffee concentrate. So like the same A1 shit that you're normally not cutting. You know, like you get the concentrate cold brew. And then you look at the brand instructions and says, you know, dilute this with X amount of water. And you say... You wish I would. Yeah, so it's basically that. And all you have to do is just take that port into a glass, stir it around, and you have cold brew or iced coffee within three seconds. And I don't know how the concentration works for somebody like you who's on a different program. Like some people... one perk 30 is enough to get them feeling pretty relaxed that's whereas you might need you know a baker's dozen i could do two pods probably yeah i was thinking you might need two and i don't know if it's a thing where you can you know like mix one with some mountain valley and then the other one is just kind of like a gummy gummer hit So you're suggesting that I rub this new cool coffee on my gums like cocaine to get a little more flavor. You know, it's the equivalent of licking the baggie, you know, like, hey, we're just getting ready to go. Sure, sure, sure. And then you also get the sensation, speaking of Italian food, when the Nona takes the can of tomatoes and then fills it up with a little bit of water and sloshes it around so you get every last microgram.

13:10-15:21

Milligram, sorry, of tomatoes. There's a lot of options over at Comenteer. Hopefully they come on as a sponsor and we continue our reign of coffee supremacy. I can't wait to talk to our guest about what his order is at Abrasso. As a New York guy, I'm sure he kind of makes it down. I can't wait to see what our guest has to say about cardboard straws, you know? Yeah, he's got some complaints. The Cortado at Blue Bottle is a little hot in New Jersey. Our guest today is the big drip himself, Favio Foran, New York's own Keeping It Alive, the drill artist that you're definitely familiar with. His album Bible is out in stores now. He's also featured heavily on Donda. Yeah, he was kind of the little sleeper hit unsung hero of Donda, came through with Blackout in the Booth. style verse. Just like Jason, he blacks out in the booth. His new album has a song with Alicia Keys on the hook in classic New York fashion. He's got everyone from Rihanna's Baby Daddy on there to multiple Quavo songs. has a song sampling Destiny's Child's Say My Name, and Beyonce told him that he has to clean up the lyrics a little bit if he's going to get the blessing. And, you know, that must have been a tough perk to swallow. It would have been rough for me. But we'll get into it. Let's get Fabi zoomy, and we'll see if we can go viral with this episode. This episode of How Long Gone is brought to you by a new podcast from The Guardian. stateside with kai and carter this is covering a lot of our bases jason it's a it's trying to slow down the news and wrestle with the questions we all have about what's happening in the world and i know you particularly have quite a lot of questions a lot of questions but how often because we do this podcast three times a week and that's a sweet spot how many times do they do three times a week and i i have a feeling just based on the platform and these talking points that they're maybe going to be covering different stuff than we do that's just a guess the guardian is not some billionaire owned

Favio Forenth, are you joining us from beautiful New Jersey? Yes, beautiful New Jersey. I'm in my house drinking champagne. I see that. I see that. I see the champagne. I wanted to ask, are we celebrating something special or is it just kind of life itself? You know, I feel like just drink champagne because we're alive and free. We have life and freedom. You know, it's 3 p.m. on a Thursday, Favi. You know that, right? Somewhere in the world, it's 9 o'clock and somebody's drinking. It's nine o'clock somewhere. You're a citizen of the world. You look at the clock a little bit differently. Right, right, right. I'm thinking for everybody else that it's nine o'clock or later. Okay, so there's some Mylar balloons on the ceiling right above your head, and I was wondering if there's a party or something. I know it's Cinco de Mayo today. Oh, see? There you go. There you go.

19:57-22:07

That's like Easter. I had bought the kids balloons for Easter. You did a little Easter egg hunt at the crib. I'm sure that was nice. Yeah, I had an Easter egg hunt. Next year, they'd be a little older. I put the eggs outside. We'll see how COVID goes. We don't know yet. Might have to do it inside. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was going to ask, what are you putting in the Easter eggs? Because I know, man, if you're stature, you might slip 100 in there. But the kids are a little young. So is it still just candy? So for Easter, I give them free candy. But I be having, like, my little cousins, and they, like, 14. Okay. You know what I mean? They, like, 14, 10 years old. So when they come over, sometimes I come home, and I be like, did y'all clean up? And I slap them. I slap them with $1,000. Like, they was leaving the other night. This is the thing with that, right? Because then they start, like, wanting it all the time. They was leaving the other night. I gave them both $1,000, right? They went home. I'm asking. I guess they came, like, the next weekend. The whole thousand was spent. So this is, like, 13-year-olds. So I'm like, what do you spend? Yeah, what do you spend $1,000? What stocks did they invest in with that money? Right, right. So they bought Roblox. Some type of magazines. They, like, MAGA. I don't know. Some type of magazines with, like, I just forget the name of it. If they sell them like books, this is what they like to buy. But the second time when they was leaving, they were like, all right, I'm leaving with a handout. They like wanted money. It was crazy. It was crazy. I'm sure a lot of hands are out these days in your world. And, you know, we're not really suffering from success in the same way. I mean, this podcast is pretty special. Yeah, yeah. We're both grinding in our own lanes. We're both putting up numbers on Spotify. Yours are just a little bit more. It's a little bigger. It's just a little bigger. We're working on some larger features, so we appreciate you for kind of jumping on the album here. Yeah, yeah. There you go. There you go. There you go. You got Alicia Keys on your shit. We got the guy who designed the album cover.

22:07-24:15

He might come on our shit. It's the same kind of thing. We're building just different waves. I think that giving $1,000, you don't want to create these expectations. You want to make it a treat. Whatever boyfriend they get in life, I made it bad for that boyfriend. They used to now $1,000 when they leave. Now it's like... They got to get some guys with money. That's right. That's good advice, though. I mean, that maybe is a nice lesson to learn. Hopefully you're making them mow the lawn or take the trash cans out or something for that band. Yeah, yeah. So I had them clean the living room. I'm saying take the garbage out. I had them do all the time. I like the hourly rate for that kind of work, though, because if that's what we're paying, I'm willing to get on a plane and take the trash out right now. I've got my afternoon pretty open, if I'm being honest. I'm going to put my foot in those rain gutters over there. One thing about this house, the trash always needs to be taken out in this house. Are you creating a lot of waste over there? Is it just, are you just, is there so many packages? It's just so much kids, so much kids, so much cooking. And then my, my, my, my girl, she just, she like buys things from Target a thousand miles an hour. Like this shit is like, her shit, her shit is like Target. Like we going Target. I mean, thank God it's Target and not the Louis store. Yeah, right. Yeah, she's like, babe, I'm heading out to Target. I'm going to hit Bottega on the way home. That's worse for you. That's a lot worse for you, okay? Yeah, you're right. You're right. I got to look at it like that. So what is she purchasing at Target? Like, how many vacuum cleaners do you need? This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying. This is what I'm saying. I don't see no difference. Like, I'm not a lot. I don't know what she vibes. I don't know what she loses. It's like she vibes it and then doesn't have it the next day. So it's like she got to go back again. I don't know. It's like she going out for the day. I got to go out for the day. Let me go to Target real fast. It's like that's how it's like. She has to go check in. I mean, it's nice to know that like.

24:15-26:27

You know, we're all in the same boat. We all got a girl that somehow just always is shopping, just always likes to be spending money. Yeah. But, you know, as long as she comes home to you at the end of the day and she's like, holds up two candles, like, which one do you like more? And you're like, I like that one more. Right, right, right, right. I ain't gonna lie. I haven't had, I haven't got to pick a candle since. Like, since she started going to Target, it's like, my candle liking don't matter no more. The color of the pillows. Nothing matters. My shit, I got to live here. I got the candle burning right now. This one's cannabis flavored. I got to send you the Amazon link when I'm done. Make sure you use my promo code. I got a little taste. I got one. She has it. This one is like a Yankee. Okay. Damn, we're both burning candles. I like it. What flavor we got there? What flavor is that? This is vanilla cupcake. Okay. Oh, yeah. You can tell a woman bought that. You can tell a woman bought that. I had no decision in the candy. I like that. So you're paying for everything, but you got no say in it. There you go. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I'm just here. I'm just here. I'm betting count. I'm just betting count. I think I feel like you're okay with that, and I am trying to get where you're at. Yeah, so you know what it is. You know why it's okay? Because now it's like less things to argue about. The argument is like. It's because I want to just make up an argument and say, I want to pick the color of the camera today. But, like, for the most part, it's like, I don't got to argue. She's got to do whatever she wants. Give a couple of dollars to go out. We go. We go watch TV. That's right, man. I think I've already learned a lot from the relationship advice I wasn't expecting today. But when you guys are watching TV, do you also not get to pick what you're watching? Do you have to watch all her bullshit? Oh, I don't get to pick TV. I watched Grey's Anatomy all day. So are you a McSteamy or a McDreamy guy when it comes to Grey's? You don't have to ask him that question. So I'm watching it, but not watching it.

26:27-28:46

Sure. You might be on your cell phone or something, maybe. Right, right, right, right. I might be dozing off. You have the iPad mini out, and you're kind of doing your own thing. I see what you mean. Oh, you see that pasta? That was crazy. I didn't think that patient was going to pull through. Wow, baby. That's so crazy. It's like the same thing every episode. To me, it's the same. I think you're right to an extent. But, yeah, when you hit her with four, that's crazies in a row while Grey's. She should get the hint at some point. When you guys are watching TV at night after a long day of grinding and Target shopping, are you smoking before to just kind of relax? Because otherwise, it's hard for me to focus on the grace. It's crazy because she's more of a smoker than me. Oh, you met your match. Yeah, so I'm more like a drinker. I smoke before I go to bed. So you're drinking champagne at 3, and she's off the cookies at 3. Right. But at nighttime, I kind of switch it. Okay. Yeah, basically, she's smoking all day. And I'm like, champagne, you know what I'm saying? Because I feel like my mind, I'm more like, if I smoke, I'd be down. I'd be like, I got things to do today. So it's like, her is like, smoke, watch TV, go to Target. So I feel like smoking is better for her. If she was drinking and shit, she'd probably be at Target. It would cause more spending. What kind of champagne are we sipping on? Are you a Voov guy? Are you Dom only? Like Bel Air? What are we talking about? Oh, come on. You already know. You already know. What vintage? Is that a 2012 vintage? Is that what it says? Yeah, yeah. That is a vintage one. What a fine year, Fabi. Great year. 2010. Oh, 2010. Oh, shit. 2010. Now, are you buying this in bulk, or you just get one at a time? Like, what's the vibe? This is what it is. I drink. Everything I have in here, in my house, is like gifts. So if it's like a whole bunch of liquor, honey, whatever, people give me like champagne gifts, honey gifts. I just keep it, and then randomly I open it. You know what I'm saying? Even like the weed, too. Like the weed I have that she smoked, it's gifted to me.

28:46-31:00

Hey, I got some new weed. Try it out. Tell me what you think. I like this. So you're saving money in these places. I kind of like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm at the point where I ain't really paying for nothing like that. I think we talked to some people about this, and it's kind of a blessing and a curse because it's amazing. When you're a kid, you would never believe, like, oh, I just wake up every day and champagne and drugs are on my front door. You're like, what am I going to enjoy today? But it also becomes a bit of a nuisance because all these like broke boy clothing brands are sending you shit. Yeah. Like my house, like I need a big house. Like I've got so much stuff. It's just like crazy. I got so much shit in this house. From like people sending me like clothes, sending me like immersion, sending me like little items. You get a lot of skincare products. We have a lot of that. We have a lot of. You didn't get a lot of moisturizers or anything? I get a lot of hoodies. I feel like people think I like hoodies. They send me a lot of hoodies and face masks, like ski masks. How many ski masks can one man have? You know what I'm saying? You said you guys do a lot of cooking and eating over there. I know that you're kind of moving more into the long money. generational wealth thing but you know are you also kind of you know health is wealth are you are you eating good you have a good diet now that that the level has stepped up i got like i got like a personal nurse that like takes my level take my blood and like cholesterol and oh and all that and like so i keep i keep yeah like now i keep like record of everything so I see how I went down next week. That's advanced stuff right there. So you're saying you get a report every week on how the body's doing? I eat way better now. I eat way better. I stay away from how I collect sport food, like a lot of carbs. I do a lot of carbs. I stay away from bread and things like that. I just try to keep lean because I'm too busy. So I don't get to work out all the time all the time. But what I really need is a nutritionist. So I can know what to buy or I can tell my girl, like, yo, listen.

31:00-33:27

This is what we buy in. You need an old white guy to write down the grocery list for you. Okay. I think we can, I can talk to our friends over at Columbia records. They might be able to put that in the budget. You know what I'm saying? Cause I, you know, you're, you're an asset. You got it. We got to have you healthy. Hey, that sounds like a good idea. I hope somebody listening. What now are you, are you? a cook yourself or is your girl cooking or do you have a chef like what's the what's the meal looking like on a nightly basis she cooked her randomly she cooked a lot of uh lamb chops and like yesterday yesterday she did tacos tacos she ate she cooked tacos slamming slamming tacos like um but it's like it's like it's most it's like i i tell her to eat i eat a lot of fish i eat a lot of fish a little fish a little some veggies some rice Yeah, salad, a lot of salad. Now, if you do have time to hit the gym, what are we talking about? Because this podcast, we talk a lot about working out. We like to get everybody's. I'll be in the gym. When I do gym, my thing for me, I feel like for me, as far as being a drill rapper, you want to have big arms and shoulders. So you're saying that your workout is mainly the vanity muscles to look good in a tank top. Yeah, that's it. Okay, so you're not working on your core and your mobility. No, I'm not. I ain't lying. I don't do no core. I'm doing like dips, push-ups. So you're like, whatever will make you look the best in the G-Unit tank, that's what we're going to do. You're on the 50 workout. You're on the 50. 50 in his prime workout. 50 in his prime workout. Dips, push-ups, and... I'm saying keep that keep that physique good and then I'm good I'm good everything else is like shoulders are all on swole but the insides are just all fucked up all kind of cholesterol happening so you've got Yeah, so you got the Dwayne Wade shoulders. The rest of it we're going to figure out. That's fine. That's all you really need, honestly. Yeah, like when I do my FaceTime, I do my videos. The camera can see what the camera can see, and I figured that one. That's right. You're using your time wisely is what it sounds like to me. Now, do you have a home gym, or are you going somewhere? Nah, so I live in a building. So I got, like, I live in a condo. So I got, like, a gym in the building down there. So I just go.

33:27-35:37

I ain't been in there. I ain't been cheated. I ain't been in there like a month. Well, you know, you're in the album cycle right now. You're a busy guy. It's all good. Yeah, you can't. When Condé locks you in a stadium, you know, there's not a lot of workout equipment, unfortunately. So it's a little difficult, you know. What's your relationship with your neighbors like? Yeah, have you had some howdy-ho run-ins in the hallway? Yo, the neighbor. I feel like I've been here for like quite a year and a half. I feel like at first, They didn't really know who I was. It was like, who just got these chains on playing this loud music? So I feel like now, my career started to go up. I started getting more famous. Like the guys, they walk past me now. They're like, hey, hey, your album is nice. Thanks, album. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? I'm Mr. Foreign. I checked out your stuff. It's pretty good there. Yeah, yeah. They said, oh, you cool. We cool. Oh, you cool. What? At first, I was getting dirty looks. Who's this new guy? They say, you got to check in over here. Yeah, they want to need to check in. They want to need to check in. What it is, my building is really hard to get in. It's condos, and everybody who lives here has been living here for a long time, supporting nobody. You know what I'm saying? They're like, yo, who's this new guy? Yeah, yeah. I mean, that's it. That's an issue that we all deal with, with neighbors. And I don't even wear a chain. So it's, you know, it's a little easier for me, you know, just in that sense. Yeah, my music, I try to keep it kind of low out of respect. You know, it's a little different. But what is the, I feel like a guy like, you might have a, do you have a garage issue? Where do you keep the fleet? You know what I mean? Or do you have enough parking spaces in the building? Oh, mine's is my garage is like, yeah, I got to give me two spots. I got two spots. I'm good. OK, so we're good. That's nice, because parking out here in L.A. can be a real bitch. You know, so I have to I have to keep I have to keep cars in the street. It's a it's a whole thing. Yeah. Let's talk about pills for a minute. I don't know why I wanted to talk about pills. Chris has had a history with them over the years.

35:37-37:50

But, you know, I just want to rank, you know, top three pills, top three dead or alive. Pills? Uppies or downies. Up to you for them. Okay, okay, okay. Yeah, top three. Because I'm going Oxycontin. I'm going Oxycontin, Xanax, muscle relaxers. All right, for the record, this is random. I'm not saying I do pills, right? Okay, okay, I understand. I've heard them mentioned in some of your songs. That's why I was asking. So I would prefer, I mean, I would prefer a Percocet. Okay, okay. I don't do pills, but if gun to my head, I had to. I enjoy a Percocet now and again. Right, right. Okay, I understand. What the Percocet do for me, it like takes the angels. That's right. It's kind of like weed, but without the lazy. I feel like the weed makes me don't want to do things, kind of like a nervous feeling. I don't know. I get real anxious when I smoke. You get a little paranoid. You don't want to get up off the couch. Yeah, I get a little paranoid. When I'm off the perk, everything, I'm fearless, one. It's like I'm calm. I feel like I'm 10 times smoother. So when I'm choking to people over a perk, it's like whatever the words is just flowing through. So, so Molly, I, I, I used to, I stopped Molly. Okay. Because one, it wouldn't let me eat. I like to eat. It wouldn't let me eat. Two, I would get this jittery, jittery feeling. That could have been, that could have been the Dasani you were mixing it with. You should have gone a little higher end on the water. I think it could have been your issue. Yeah. When I'm on Molly, the only thing I want to eat are menthol cigarettes. We're just going to play in the Molly. We're just going to play in the water. It was bad water, so the water was fucking me up. Yeah, you didn't have the Voss. The bottle was plastic. It felt cheap. The BPAs. I get it. I get it. Okay, so the York 30, the Mali. What else we tried? We pretty much tried everything. That's right. I like Zantz. Yeah, I bet you do. I bet you do. Talking about taking the edge off. Now we're talking. So I use Zantz. When I'm traveling, I hate planes. I hate flying. I hate turbulence.

37:50-40:04

I'm now starting to get used to it. I had to do my research. When I signed my bill and I started getting booked, I never really took a plane before. Shit, okay. When I started taking planes, I'm like, yo, this shit is crazy. I'm like, we're shaking. Why are we shaking? Why are we shaking? When you first started, you get booked here and there, but it'd be like, we're driving an hour here, we're driving to Philly, we're driving whatever it is. It was a little rougher on me. Especially in the PJ, because that's a smaller plane. If you have the big body 747, then it's all good. In a PJ, I got to be all the way intoxicated drunk. They got to drag you on that plane. You're in the wheelchair. You got to be knocked out. You got to be knocked out. I got to be in and out of consciousness. He's on the wheelchair. He's got the Hermes blanket draped over him like a grandma. Wake me up when we're in Tallahassee. Yeah, so that's how my plane, my zines started kicking in because I used to take them a lot. Then I stopped and I'm like, yo, I'll be good for something. That's taking my full sleep when I'm playing. No, Xanax, I feel like it was scientifically created for airplanes. It's the perfect drug for the flight. That's true. I mean, do you feel groggy or are you able to kind of keep working when you get off the plane and you've had a nice little snooze? Yeah, no, no, no. I get straight back to it. So what it is is, what it is is, right? It's the after effect of the zen. I feel like you get a little agape. You'd be like angry or something. When I come off the zen, I think I get angry or some type of depression happening. Yeah, that's the problem. As a former drug addict, I can tell you all about it. Just let me know. If you got time, I can walk you through it. Unfortunately, Chris figured out the solution to that. You just take another zen and then all that goes away. You go with former. Former. We're going with former. Yeah, no, I'm five years sober, but pills were my drug of choice. Nothing? Like sober like nothing? Yeah, sober like nothing. I just drink water and exercise. You know what I mean? That's all I got, man. That's all I got. That's crazy. I didn't really have a choice, but I do think it's interesting that...

40:04-42:23

a lot of people kind of tie these things in with creativity. You know what I mean? Because I think that like it can work for and against you depending on what's going on. Yeah. So when you're in the booth, is it, is it sober? So, so when I'm like, when I'm in, I feel like when I'm in the studio, like I, like I've done, like I've done songs over straight liquor. I've done songs over straight purposes. I've done songs sober. I did songs like only weed. Like, I feel like I like me personally. I like my songs. The ones I make off the Percocet. Interesting. Better than any. All right. Well, then if that's the case, then because, you know, Big Drip was very it was at the top of my running playlist for a couple of years. Was that was that a perk joint or were we talking something? What were we doing when we recorded that? I don't know about to tell you the truth. Big Drip got a lot of energy, but I was only smoking. When I did Big Dread. Interesting. Interesting. Sometimes, look, there's a lot of factors that go into this. You know what I mean? It's how you're feeling. It's the intake. It's the studio. It's the whole vibe. You know what I mean? It can't. I got to say, all this talk has my stomach growling for a little perky right now, guys. Yeah. Hey, yo, me too. What now? What is the? So what is the? You said you moved to New Jersey a year and a half ago. Was it just you needed more space? You wanted to get out of the city? So, you know, like, I was living in Brooklyn, and I was about to buy, like, I just spent, like, $100,000 in jewelry and shit. And I'm saying I just wanted, like, something more. I always dreamed of, like, living in, like, a house. So I'm like, this is my chance. Let me hurry up and do it. And that's, like, I think that's why the first thing I did was get a crib. Like, that shit was, like, kind of on my mind. You know, I feel like people don't be getting houses. A lot of people get signed and get money, and they forget to get a crib. You know what I'm saying? That's why a lot of people be stuck in the hood. Stuck in the hood with a very nice car. We call those depreciating assets. I'm sure your business manager has told you about that. Yeah, definitely. When I got my business manager, it was already a year in. You know what I'm saying? You had spent a little money irresponsibly, let's be honest. Yeah, I definitely did irresponsible spending.

42:23-44:41

You got a little Dogecoin or something that didn't go so well? No, no. I didn't. But you know I didn't do the whole crypto thing yet. I'm like a tunnel vision kind of guy. So when I do go crypto, I might have to just put all my attention to it. Right now, I'm like in an album mode, touring. I don't want to halfway do it and mess up. So when I finish all that, which is like June-ish, I'm going to go crypto crazy. You're going to go to Barnes & Noble, get all kinds of books, read up on it. No, that's good. I mean, I forgot who it was on the pod that said, no, it was Richard Jefferson who said, if it floats, flies, or fucks, rent it, don't buy it. That's good advice. Anything else you've learned from the business manager that you want to share with us as we're kind of starting to make a little more cash ourselves? Like I said, the podcast is doing pretty good. So I think that might have been because you stopped doing drugs. I had to stop and slow down too myself. Because I feel like when you're doing so much, you kind of depend on them. I was depending on the drugs to do interviews, to do shows. I was depending on the Percocet to do these things. So I had to catch myself. I'm still lit without them. Same. That's what made me, like, want to, like, not really do it. No, that's a good, I mean, look, if you can learn that lesson, you know, that's a great lesson to learn. But I think when you're doing all this stuff, I mean, life is fucking crazy. It moves very fast, you know what I mean? It's like you want to feel good all the time and be at your top, you know, perform at the best level, whatever it is. Yeah. It can get, it's a slippery slope. Yeah, and that's what it basically was, you know what I mean? But shit, something that business manager always told me was. You see how people got like money in the bank. They're like, yo, I saved money. I got money just sitting there. Yeah. You don't want to spend it, but you want to put it into something. Like if it's just sitting there, like you got $50,000 sitting there or $100,000 sitting there. You don't want to just sit there. You want to give it to something that can make it build. So while it's sitting there, instead of the bank just giving you interest, you put it into a crypto or you buy an art piece.

44:41-47:01

or maybe you want to buy because i'm doing like my i'm not doing crypto but i'm doing like the basic investments like i will buy a block of gold i will buy a $50,000 block of gold because gold is going up or art piece a $20,000 art piece and hold it and put it in storage and put it somewhere and hold it and then like probably like a year from now or two years or 10 years from now is worth $500,000. You got to make the money work for you. That's right. You can't let it. That bank interest is. I can't invest in no businesses yet, but I did like the basic, you know, buy gold or art piece. You know what I'm saying? I did the basics. So does that mean you've had to have a lot of uncomfortable conversations with some friends of yours who are pitching you on their business idea and all they need is your check to make it come to life? You know what's crazy? I love those type of combos. I'm going to tell you why. I'm going to tell you why I love you, right? So the friends, right? That's like, yo, Fabi, I don't ask you for nothing. I'm an old man. All I need is this. I go, yes. Because I feel like that's the easy way out from then to the friend than just asking me for money. Because most of the time, the business is just fair, right? And it's like, it goes to nowhere. So when you give somebody some type of money for some type of whatever cap they was running on you, and it's like, because most times it's like cap businesses. You're like, yo, here, think that. It's like, they can't really ask you for nothing else because they said, that's all I need. That's all I'm going to need. So it was like, you give them that money. Whatever it is, I give it to them. It's like, you're kind of paying somebody just to kind of be off their back. You're paying somebody to leave you alone. Do what you got to do. Make it happen. hit me up later. It never really happened. They always come back. But when I don't give them the money the next time, it's fine because I gave it to them the first time for something they told me they were never going to need again. So I'm just like, yeah, that's my favorite type of money. For our listeners at home, what would be an example of a cap business that you have been pitched before? A cap business? I feel like I'm on the expose. You don't have to name names.

47:01-49:23

I love my friends. I love them, but this is all jokes, so I got to say, right? So, that's a friend of mine, right? He's like, yo, Favi. Does he draw on ones? What is it? Oh, I had those too. I had those. He said, yo, I got this. I want to start my security business. Okay. Okay. Is he doing, hold on, is he doing security for you at this time? No, no, no. He wanted to do security for me, but he wanted to start a business to where I had a security guard from him. Right? So I'm like, perfect. That guy just made a couple thousand. Right? So I'm like, I bet. I got you. Go do the show. Boom, I got the money. I give it to him. I go, Foggy's great. That's all I need. I'm like, all right? Come back to me when We got the shit right and we do everything. So for a little minute, he was scaring me because he almost like was completing the mission because he was like sending updates like, yo, I got this. I'm like, oh shit, this thing might really do it. He's like, I got the shirts made. I got the license. I got all the shit. Website's looking good. Yeah, he's going through the proper stuff. And then one week, ghost. But it's all right. But you know what it is, the good thing about me, I just do that, just really honestly, to not be bothered, because I get bothered a lot. And I do get bothered a lot, like a lot, a lot. But I still, I love everybody. They hit me up. I end up like, I'm like a sucker for love. And then I end up, you know I love it. And it probably feels amazing to be able to afford to do that and not have it fuck your money up. Yeah, that's the only thing. If I could afford it and I really got it, i'm gonna end up doing it like that's a better way to be what is the um what is your security detail looking like now chris that's an op question come on no no i just i'm just because jason's kind of my security because he's six foot nine even though he's skinny he looks he looks kind of imposing so i'm just wondering if i need to kind of step my game up right now right now i'm just doing like three guards arm guards i'm saying like um everybody on

49:23-51:28

i'm saying like big guys intimidating characters yeah yeah like i'm saying make sure everybody um because they they ain't playing fair yeah right now they ain't playing fit especially in la la la is like crazy like anybody yeah we were just talking about that at dinner last night with our friend uncle paulie he was saying he's from queens born and raised and he lives out in la now and he's like these kids in la right now it's a whole other world of how crazy it is right now. So you think LA is hotter than New York right now? Yo, New York is kind of, you kind of, you could, like, but New York is like, if you don't got beef with a nigga, like, if you ain't got beef, they don't know you for, like, being the opposite side of them. Like, you can kind of, like, walk freely with your chance. Like, ain't nobody doing too much robberies in New York. LA? I don't know if the gang shit is still happening. I feel like the gang beef is kind of dying down in LA. As soon as that shit started dying down, I feel like the gangsters had nothing to do. They just started robbing niggas. We heard a story last night about you drive around some wild shit. This guy's driving a green Lambo. He gets rear-ended. He gets out of the car and they take the Richard Milley right off his wrist. Like they rear-ended him on purpose so he would get out of the car. You know what I mean? My homegirl was out there. Mellow Racks. I don't know if you saw her out there. She just got signed to Young Money. Her name is Mellow Racks. We had lunch. Yeah, we had lunch. She's doing great. But she was out there in L.A. She got like Cuban and I'm saying watch AP. like she went to a show she called me like as soon as it happened like over the next morning she was like yo she went to a show came home she got and got and she had security with her no she got out the car to go to the hotel and niggas pulled up on her guns out get on the floor made the security like and it just and it just and it just like i don't know it's like it's almost like a trend

51:28-53:54

That's happening out there right now. Yeah, I think it happened during COVID. Like you said, when the gang shit kind of died down, they didn't have anything else to do. And they're like, well, let's just... I feel like LA is a lot of truth. I mean, I don't really know the whole inside out, you know what I'm saying? So don't quote me. But I feel like it's kind of like not how it used to be. No, I think the rules have changed. I think the rules have changed. Yeah, the gang balance and the gang beef, I feel like it's a little different now. Shit, the shit is like coming to like, I feel like niggas ain't got nothing to do. They gonna bite on each other. That's a good point. Do you like L.A.? Do you like coming out here? I love L.A. Good vibes out there, you know what I'm saying? The sun. What is your take? So if you had to choose Miami or L.A., what are you doing? I gotta choose Miami or L.A.? I ain't gonna lie, I was real good at it. Miami was nice. But there's too much hurricanes in Florida. I understand. So you don't want your investment property underwater due to weather. Right. At least, like, rob the house. Don't just, like, I'm like, I can stop a robbery before I can stop a hurricane. That's right. I mean, I would agree with that. I think you're right. I think you're right. I don't think you have a lot of power right now. I don't think you could stop a natural disaster. Yeah, I have shot at a tornado before, and it didn't do a ton. Wasn't able to stop it in its tracks necessarily, but it felt good. It felt good. So our friend... I think our friend Joe interviewed or maybe followed you around for a New York Times story. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That came out like a month ago or so. Yeah, that's a good guy, too. That's my guy. Yeah, great guy, great guy. He's the best, the best. And I've personally, like, with all types of musical genres, I've always liked when they kind of stick with what they do best, like party rappers shouldn't be doing serious songs or, like, murder rappers shouldn't be doing, like, emo relationship in your feelings songs. And I've always, you know, like. Pusha should just rap about coke. That's about it. Just do what you do. And then you were kind of talking about some of the slower ballad songs or songs where girls are on the hook or sampling some like Neo or Destiny's Child. And you were saying this is music that bitches will be getting dressed to. And then it finally clicked in my head. I was like, oh, I understand. And it makes sense why.

53:54-56:08

Because I'll listen to a 21 record and he'll be like, I'm in my feelings about this girl that dumped me. I don't want to hear this shit. I want to hear about shooting someone's grandma or something like that. That's why when people call me for features, even if I don't care what type of song it is, when they call me for features, I got one thing in my mind. I feel like they only called me because they heard this gangster drill rap shit. So what I do, I just keep it me. Know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like, I feel like people, this is where people fuck up. People say they get lit. People call them. They try to go pop on them. They try to go, I feel like you, people know you for you. People call me for features. I just keep it me. I still shoot a nigga on a song. I don't care. got you. I just feel like that's just me. Be a team player. Be a team player. That's what they calling me for. I can't play your position. I just do what I do. We're here to get the ring. That's it. If I'm the center, I'm not running the ball up the court. My slow ass is jogging. That's it. We just want to win. As long as the song go viral. That's all I care about. That's all I care about as well. I'm a big hits guy. You know what I mean? I think that's something that you understand, and I appreciate that. We're trying to get this shit to number one. That's the goal. They only want me on the ad-libs, and I got to say, and that's it. I said, guess what? That's what I'm going to say. So you're getting calls for just the ad-libs? Yo, I was on... I was on a Kanye song, right? On his Donda one, I was on two songs. I wasn't just on off the grid. I was also on another song, but it was only Alex. So do you think that, because Kanye did that and it worked, do you think that, so you think you're going to get calls like that from other people? Do you think people think like that? Or do you think that's a Kanye thing? I feel like a lot of people don't think like that. Like a lot of people don't understand like the...

56:08-58:24

the the idea of it being a complete art like i feel like they feel like if i got fabio on the track i need him to do a verse when it's like what qualities do you really need from a person like if like like like like when i did the um city of god song i got a leaf key i got but on the adlibs is playboy cardi a lot of people don't know that he on adlibs like he's like like that's him yeah that's playboy cardi and that was his idea and it just like you gotta you gotta be more of an artist than a rapper like a lot of people are just rappers i'm saying you gotta be like an artist to really understand like i don't really gotta come on a song i just gotta just add these little tweaks to it i'm saying make it make sense so yeah yeah it makes sense like the song's already done it's already all good all we need to make it perfect is just you know cardi to do these ad-libs if he if he does a verse it might not work out so well the sandwich is already built we just need some pickles on it we don't need some more yeah yeah we don't need a new meat on there right right so that's what it is and people try to make a whole nother layer like a double burger when instead of just yeah let's just add some ketchup you know what i'm saying let's put some flavor on that thing and And that's what people be fucking up. I think people don't be putting no flavor into it. You know what I'm saying? Put flavor into it. Does Cardi get a credit? Does he get points on that? Or do you just get a little... I mean, of course. Like, this is a big... Playboy Cardi is, like, big. Yes, he is. So, yeah, when you just get called to do ad-libs on a song, you're like, wow, this is, you know, five minutes in and out. And I just did, you know, I got points on it now. Yeah, yeah. We're doing that all day long. I mean, it's like, if you know your worth, I'm saying that you know that made the song better and the person who actually do it know it made it so it's only right that you get what you deserve like whether it be points whether it be you get paid because it's two ways to go about it like you would get points on the song or you would get just straight paid off like I told you I'll pay you this much money to do this or you could get both you get paid and points like with that

58:24-1:00:45

with the paper card and shit. We gave him points. Of course we gave Kanye points and of course we gave Alicia Keys points. You gotta remember, those are people that you can't pay for a feature from. You can't buy a Kanye feature. He got money to where... Whatever you offer him will be insulting. It's easier to just do it for free of good points. It's like either he gonna do it out the lob or... He's not going to be like, mm, 20 bands. Right, right, right. I got this 50 bands for you for this verse. It's like, nigga, what? How did that song come together? How did it start? Was it you and Kanye? Was it you and Playboy? Was it you and Alicia? Or was it just you? Shit. That one was just me. And the beat, it was like, because right now, a lot of drill beats is like, Well, a lot of music in the industry is like samples from old music. So it was a sample from Chainsmokers in New York City. Like it was a sample of them on the beat. And then Kanye heard it because he was like doing my album for me. Like helping the executive producer. You know what I'm saying? He heard it. He was like, yo, I can get Alicia Keys to sing that shit. And I was like, you could? Yeah, when that happens, do you play it cool? Or are you showing excitement? Yo, when that happens, I'm not going to lie. I feel like, and this is why people really fuck with me and love me, I show real excitement. You know what I'm saying? I don't even play. I'll be like, what? Yeah. As you should be. It's exciting. I'll be like, nah. So I feel like the humbleness and the realness of me just make people really grab me. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, oh, this is like flesh. Because that's what it is. In the industry, it's a whole bunch of industry people. So they just like playing it too cool. Oh, all right, cool. You get it. You know what I'm saying? They playing it cool. They acting like nothing excites them. You know what I'm saying? Alicia, yeah, she might be all right. I don't know. I'll think about it. Yeah, yeah. So it's like, I feel like that's like offensive. If I'm with somebody and I'm like, yo, I can do this for you. I'm like, all right, cool. Yeah, I mean, that's Kanye giving you a gift. So I show my real feelings.

1:00:45-1:03:05

And everybody who I came across, Kanye, Nicki, Drake, you know what I'm saying? Alicia Keys, Future. You know what I'm saying? I sit there and I be like, yo, I appreciate this. I tell them this shit means a lot to me. You know what I'm saying? I let them know this is real to me. Yeah, that's refreshing. I think you're right. People do respond to that. I feel like that's entitlement. And it makes them feel good. I love it. Somebody show me love, I love it. I love it. Going back to security, what do you think about Dave Chappelle trying to get tackled on stage? How did that make you feel as a person who's on stage often? Yo, to keep it real with you, I like what happened to that man. I think a lot of people did. Because you know what it is? That man went out his way to purchase a ticket to spend money like this is almost like a assassination attempt and those weren't cheap tickets like to get that close right is real bread that's not cheap right so the nigga went out his way this to to go to that show i'm saying to really be there to really be like it was premeditated right so it's like it's like you deserve to know like so it's like that was like an example for the next person who want to try some dumb shit like that like like you will get arm broken the arm broken picture is crazy his arm ball is twisted it ain't going the right way i think it's a good trend of seeing like like we saw mike tyson you know punch that guy out on the plane and this happening like it's it's good it's like that movie friday the the the dad is like you know we don't use guns back in the day we settle it with our hands and then you live you live to fight another day what it is is this this is the real trouble right the internet right the fact that you know like celebrities and people who are on the internet get targeted in memes they like they become like when they do something wrong or they spell something wrong or they or they do a move that's like they get they get joked on i'm saying so i feel like the meet the the internet made people feel comfortable with like joking on celebrities or poking at them or you know i'm saying or doing things

1:03:05-1:05:16

that you wouldn't do to a normal person who you feel like was a real person because people don't look at celebrities as they look at them like as things like oh celebrity this is a thing i could just poke at or talk about or you're not supposed to never get mad you're a celebrity during the light you never have you don't have feelings you know what i'm saying so i feel like the memes and things like that made people feel comfortable with feeling like They can do what they want or say what they want to the people and celebrities because they don't look at them like a person sitting next to you. You don't look at them like a real person. They look at them like a... So I feel like with this shit happening, I'm saying, we all know Mike Tyson can fight. We all know he knocks people out. So for somebody to poke at him, it's somebody that in their mind don't look at him as a real person. They look at him as a celebrity. And I'm saying I'm going to do it on the internet. It's what I do. Oh, Mike Tyson, he sound like a girl. He slurred. And this is a real person to it. If you say that in his face, you might get punched in your face. So I feel like that's just showing people that it's also these celebrities are real life. Yeah, this shit can really happen to you. Like, you can really. there's some repercussions for what your actions, right? Hopefully it's like a good thing because I feel like, you know, like the police who would, you know, once, once this kid gets off the plane and they see him all fucked up and they're like, yeah, he fucked with Mike Tyson a bunch. And then he hit him a couple of times. I feel like the cops are just gonna be like, yeah, that's about right. I think we're all done here. And then, and then that's it. And I think that's a positive thing or like the guy who rushes Chappelle and like Busta Rhymes and 11 guys, you know, stomp on him for a couple of minutes. We keep it moving. We keep it moving. Everybody knows Mike Tyson. He's a knockout king. In the 90s, no one would ever do that to Mike Tyson. Yeah, right. You know he's old. Man, I can play with Mike. No. You still can't play with these people. Don't play with these people. You know what I'm saying? It's real. I wonder if it's going to work as a deterrent or if it's going to...

1:05:16-1:07:26

embolden people because it's happening more. You know what I mean? It just depends on, I don't know. I don't know what it's going to mean. So what, um, what are, what are some like goals for you this upcoming year? Like, do you want to be doing Coachella next year? Do you want, you know, I wanted, I was supposed to do Coachella this year, actually. Oh, really? Um, well, not me. Uh, the city girls did Coachella. I got with them. It was more bring out, but this is the Coachella shit is so complicated, right? It's like you fly to LA and you drive four hours. So it was like, I was like a half an hour late and I didn't get to come on stage. You know what I'm saying? But that's something I really want to do. I want to do Coachella because I feel like I did everything else. This year I'm headlining Summer Jam. Oh, are you? Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Okay. We might need to fly out for that one. We might need to fly out for that. Yeah, yeah. No, come out. No, come out because this one is going to be big. And I got a couple people that I'm going to bring out. Oh, I'm sure you got a plan.

When is Summer Jam? Is it August? June 12th. Oh, it's soon. Okay, it's soon. We'll talk to Columbia. We'll talk to Columbia. They'll get it sorted with passes. At least we can come see you in LA, if nothing else. Yeah, come see me. I'm going to come over there, smoke a blunt. I'm going to have Percocets on the table. You don't have to take them. You don't have to take them, but they're going to be there. Okay. It's around. Let's just say it's around. It's around. What a sweetheart. Yeah, you're just a good host. Yeah, you're a good host. It's just like going to the parties and having a bowl of crackers. Nobody would eat the crackers. You got to have the crackers there when people come over. You got to have the crackers. People are coming over. Nobody might take one.

1:07:26-1:09:37

Like, yo, yesterday, you'd be like, last night, I was the man. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? And then you try to go out without it. It's not the same. It's not the same. To ask me, without the drug, people used to ask, yo, you okay? I'm like, no, I'm just me. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. I'm a little down. You feel right? Something bother you? I'm like, no.

It's like, but so, so, so, so at a point, at a point, I was taking it for other people because I knew like they wanted me to, like they used to seeing me on a level. You know what I'm saying? I didn't want nobody to feel a way. that thought I was feeling the way they would feel like because I feel like I feel like it's like contagious like you you kind of down everybody be kind of down like when you work through drugs you turning up sometimes you need to turn down my friend sometimes sometimes well thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us it was a blast we appreciate it yeah thanks for joining us man it was a pleasure all right all right man I appreciate y'all cool y'all cool Thanks, bro.
