[Assistant] Emulate us, you know, we want, we want everything to be as safe as possible because even with all of the protocols that kink takes, I do believe there have been instances where people have felt that their consent has been violated on set and I think it's important to remember that we're dealing with humans, we're dealing with a lot of people and their emotions and I think always


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking to the person right away when something happens is important because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do, like I said, I think there's a difference if someone does it intentionally and someone doesn't do it intentionally and I think...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Especially on a porn set, it's very dangerous because we're performers and we're trying to put on a good show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so like that also blurs the consent lines, like, oh, I was being uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable the whole time, but I was putting on a performance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, how is your scene partner supposed to know that they were hurting you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't want to hurt anybody, so that's why, uh, more communication is just always better. Always more communication.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, I had one instance with the director where he touched us when I'm pretty sure he knew he wasn't supposed to touch us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so, but other than that, I think it's been generally a good experience. And I think we're growing and learning as an industry and as a fucking society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was a little uncomfortable, but I don't really remember it. Like it didn't make me that upset. But I think like things like that should be more common and should we should be able to be able to talk about and recognize like I was just doing that because I wanted all the dudes to think I was cool. Like, you know, like let's talk about that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you're drunk, like, it doesn't make it okay, but like, we need to understand the situations around this. I think we are creating a better environment where we should be able to talk about these things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I refuse to be part of just like internet pylons once- I feel like until you're like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm scared that they're, especially in porn, like we're kind of ostracized from a lot of society and I don't want people to feel ostracized from like maybe their last community that they feel like they can be a part of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't want, and I encourage people not to just show their sexual side on their social media. Show them that you're a fucking human. Cause I know I used to, uh, I used to dehumanize or objectify myself in a way. If I'm only posting pictures of my pussy and I'm not showing pictures of like my dog and all these other things, they're gonna think of me less of as a human.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether or not, like, it takes two, like, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think my message should be now, like to sex workers, like, who gives a fuck?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more confident and amazing and beautiful you are as a human, that's how you're gonna change people's minds the best way. Cause I put so much emphasis on caring about like the stigma that surrounds our industry, but I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really care more about empowering sex workers, but I mean everybody is sexual and there is a stigma that surrounds sex in general and I think that's what I should focus on because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you focus on that stigma, the one around sex work is gonna be lessened too. And I think Hollywood has like a lot of power in how they portray sex workers. You know, and I think that we are changing, like that cam movie on Netflix, like that was a very accurate portrayal of what it's like to be as a webcam model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's actually realistic. It's compared to some other shit. You're like, this is sensationalized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I started camming on my free cams like nine years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know those little advertisements that would pop up in the corner on Tube sites? I was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could be that girl. I could do that. Like I'm already doing it for free. Why wouldn't I do it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, no, I had a boyfriend from college and then I got another boyfriend, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I tried to break up with him and he wouldn't let me, that's when my thotting started. Because I was like, I'm not gonna regret being with this person my whole life. So I just cheated on him a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was really sad and so like, I think I kept doing it for a little bit longer and then I stopped eventually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make enough money doing that. I just wanted to fuck other people. It's fun. On camera.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like two penises at once, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's like, you know, why am I just not enough for you? I'm like, dude, you just can't have two cocks at once. Like that's it. And so, you know, we just didn't see eye to eye. Greg Lansky reached out to me to shoot for Black at one point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he got me, he got me thinking about how I really wanted to shoot porn. Cause if Greg Lansky's reaching out to you, you're like, I must be doing something right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hear his days and his sets are like long, like it's a lot of hard work for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go, go click where my cum shots are in the videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it is. It's the worst. And then sometimes, I live in Arizona, so they have to like ship it out, and sometimes it doesn't get there on time, so I got, I had to miss a lesbian yacht orgy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was amazing. I feel like I get requested to work with her more than any other person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. I forget that that's like something that's people like about me. I need to focus on that more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You would always have ass contests, and if the girl's ass was too big, he would like criticize her on it. Like, oh, she has a crease at the bottom. And I'd be like, oh, that's what mine looks like. You need a crease.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I was booked on there for someone's bachelor party and it was the best ass contest. And my publicist was like, you have to learn how to make your ass clap. And I was like, well, I can already do that. But we go on there and I'm the only one that can make my ass clap. So I thought I was going to automatically win, but I didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was bummed. No, I kinda knew when this one girl walked out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The dude who was like picking, he could not stop staring at her butt. Really? So I was kinda like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forever. I mean, if you're good at marketing yourself, you can figure it out and last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know who else's dick it would have been, it was only one in my mouth that day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna say this and I know that the dude, he's probably gonna see this because I think he knows you, but this dude wanted to fuck me raw. And I told him, no, you need to get tested. He's like, no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I don't have an STD. I would feel it. And he also says, whenever I fuck a girl raw,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll dip my dick in apple cider vinegar after. So that's how I don't get STDs that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I think that the future of the industry is like a bunch of individual performer brands and companies that cater to them, like OnlyFans and Fancentro and shit like that, because unless you're making really high quality porn,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, Lansky or fucking Caden Cross. There's not that many. Like, do you, do you watch professional stuff or do you watch amateur stuff when you watch porn?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like that's the one website I've been requested to work for by far the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I swear, I know so many, I could play a guessing game, a fucking porn star guessing game and guess like 8 out of 10 genitals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I made, I made it, I did it three times before I actually got it, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that some fan actually started hashtagging the running badge challenge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put something down there, like slap a bumper sticker on the jumper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, if you film shit in your pool, like just don't release it after you move out so you don't get kicked out. That's what I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Have you ever made a girl squirt from eating her pussy? Because I have, and I felt like a fucking god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I know. I don't know how some girls can, they can squirt from anal. I'm like, that's a whole nother level of, I don't know, maybe one day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm actually in the talks to do a podcast, but I think it's, it's coming. It's coming this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I think the fucking country needs an open dialogue about literally everything. So, that's what I'm kind of down for. That's true. Any, any sort of difficult topic, I'll talk about it. I'll take the heat. I don't give a fuck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I think that we should be able to do whatever the fuck we want with our bodies as long as we're not hurting or inconveniencing another human being. That's the basis of what I believe. So everybody who's fighting for bodily autonomy out there should be fighting for sex work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We want it to be decriminalized because if we legalize it, I don't necessarily trust the government to tell me when and how I can use my own body. We don't want the government coming in and forcing you to get tested every two weeks. We want you as a responsible adult to go out there and get tested every two weeks. We want clients to be able to choose the sex workers who they know are getting tested every two weeks. I do not want


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're gonna regulate, I wanna regulate ourselves, like you know the past system that we all put ourselves into for adult entertainment or we all get tested through talent testing? That's something we decided to do ourselves because we're, we don't want the government coming in and telling us and forcing us to wear condoms or forcing us to do these things. When we're adults, we should be able to do what we want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a lot of libertarians in the porn industry because they have experienced, uh, successful self-regulation like that. So they believe that the whole country could do it, which in theory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spiegler's great. I mean, he's the only agent I ever considered going with. I'm independent, so I book my own stuff, but, I mean, he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's the best of the best. He creates stars and, but I mean, at the same time, all of his girls do a lot, a lot, a lot of porn. I don't know if that was how much porn I wanted to shoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he doesn't fuck around. He's funny too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think that since he doesn't get his money and his income source directly from the girls, like he made his money somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's not like dependent in trying to push them and put them in scenarios compared to other agents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think he has such a small number of them, it's a lot harder for him to forget that they're people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's where a lot of the problems with these other agents come from is they have so many girls, they forget that they're dealing with people, they forget what so and so said she didn't want to do incest, still sends her to sex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you gotta, you gotta realize that how important networking is because people that have met me face to face hire me a lot more. I think my personality is what part of what makes me attractive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sending them a picture of me isn't really gonna necessarily maybe get them to hire me. So going to these parties and these expos and stuff like that is really key to like actually getting booked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, it's just like any other fucking business though, like networking. How many people get gigs through networking?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 80%, like, I was in the future business leaders of American.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What business am I going to be leading? Yeaah. No, I, I, I do use all of those business things that I learned every day in this industry because it is a business and it took me a while, like the money kind of just came so easy to me that I wasn't really taking it seriously like a business and I have been this past couple years. So I feel like I'm only maybe like two years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can get so much further just being a nice decent human being. Like, you're dealing with humans, why would they want to go the extra mile for you if you're being a bitch?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because I mean, you're just doing a scene. It's not like it's too much in depth of who you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get a couple interactions in person, maybe like once a month I'll get like four people coming up to me, but most of the things I get is people will message me on Snapchat and be like, did I just see you at the grocery store? Or my boyfriend just saw you at the grocery store or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And while I will never make that awkward, like, I think it's totally dope, but I can understand how that would be a little intimidating. Like, a lot of the time, I live in Arizona, so there's not a lot of, like, celebrities out there. Right. So it's weird.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My last, okay, so before I got into camming, uh, I applied to be a sex, uh, at a sex toy store and then as a nude art model at Arizona State and at Hooters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, are Hooters waitresses sex workers?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's been a while. It was like college guy friends that dragged me along, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, that's a, that's a important scene idea right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I was thinking about this last night. You and Lena are like the most authentic online personalities because you actually show that part of your lives too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like dudes are looking at going specifically to her Instagram to jerk their dicks off to cum every day and she could be making money from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I mean, it's, and I think the whole thing is like, we need to take that control away from the bad people and stop letting them use this shit to control us. Because like, if we let the fucking government come into our bedrooms and regulate what we can do with our bodies between two consenting adults, I think that's insane. And it just like lets us allow them to control us in so many other fucking ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's cool. Just go take your, what is it? Valtrex? I don't know. If they're selling it over the counter. Abriva. I've never had a cold sore, but I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just like, yo, just don't make out with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My sister is and she tries to get me to watch them all the time and I'm like, I'm gonna go in the other room so I don't vomit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like the more people you fucking involve, the more likely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I guess you can do everything over the phone these days. It's not like you need to fucking ever meet with someone in person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could probably just, like, uhm, suggest it. People do it on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, someone I know, they're like, yeah, I put all my prices up on Snapchat. I'm like, I was thinking, is that the smartest thing? But like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's getting weird out there. I don't think, I think socially we're like kind of growing and then for some reason there's like a lot of pushback. There's like organizations that are, they literally are trying to like get rid of porn, which is just seems like such a waste of time and energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, let's not go towards Handmaid's Tale territory people. Leave people alone, let them fucking do whatever they want in their house. As long as they're not hurting people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] psilocybin for life. It's been too long. When's the last time you did shrooms?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tetris is dope though, and then like, you're like, just thinking about Tetris for like, hours after you stop playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Going all, I did that with Grand Theft Auto. I think I do that with anything that I do like a lot. League of Legends is like one game that I play a lot. You do? Oh wow, interesting. I just think about it all the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, anything is fucking addicting, so quit trying to get rid of porn. People are addicted to cheesy potatoes too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not to argue, but this ain't exactly within our mission parameters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are they saying now? These people want us gone. You should get outta here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Civilians? Where'd they come from? There's no camp here!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, no, those can't be the civvies that got kidnapped! It's not possible!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Phosphorus. I swear if I never see this shit again, it'll be too soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You claim to speak for these people, Agent Gould. Now would be the time to prove it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, take care of the rest of them. Yes sir. Still have nothing to say, agent? Maybe if you understood the hell you put these people through, set them up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, go ahead, do what comes naturally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why'd you have to do that, Vivian? Vivian! Shit!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had whistleblowers that gave us information of what they thought was not only bad dentistry but also a waste of taxpayers dollars. This is a crisis and we need to fix it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When private equity firms get involved, you gotta understand that their motivation is to make money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had whistleblowers that came to us and gave us information of what they thought was not only bad, uh, dentistry, uh, delivery, uh, and bad healthcare, but also a waste of taxpayers' dollars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, to some extent, yes. There ought to be complete, uh, good relationships between the patient and their dentist. They ought to know that the only person that that dentist is concerned about is the patient.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, that's not what I'm finding in this investigation. I'm finding in this investigation that there's people that know nothing about dentistry, are saying you gotta see so many people, you gotta do so much work for each one, and in a sense, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we are now headed to the studio with Shoreline Mafia. I don't even know where we're getting into tonight, but chances are we're just gonna run around Atlanta and make a few plays, but tomorrow and the next day after that and the next day after that are gonna be the days where we're really doing dope shit here in Atlanta. Today's gonna be good too, so stick around for this vlog. We're headed to the studio, let's go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This area didn't have a whole lot of dentists that accepted Medicaid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were trying to reach out to the population that wasn't necessarily having an easy access to dental care. And so that's what appealed to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It became more about numbers, not so much as what we were doing to help the community, but more about numbers. It became where we had a goal that we had to meet each day. So they would tell us if we had to make $15,000, that's what we had to make, regardless of how we got there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, if you're seeing enough patients, uhm, and doing enough procedures.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a bonus. So if I met my goals for the month, I got a bonus. It was based on production, it was based on patience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For certain employees, so you're looking at the office managers, you're looking at your doctors, and then their supervisors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To never be about money when we're treating children. Ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They said they did not accept Medicaid. They didn't want to charge me less than their normal fees, you know. And then there was no rebates or no discounts or no nothing just because I've been going to them for 30 years, you know. It was unreal. It just blew my mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to the match. Now, my whistle, you will rush to get that ball in the middle and then the game is on. If you get hit, you're out. If it's a catch, then you're safe and that person is out. You can block with the ball, but if you block the ball and it hits your body, you are out. Everyone clear? Yes, sir. Uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do you cheat? Dodgeball is one of the only sports that uses the honor system. It's like key. So you just don't cheat in dodgeball. Well, I'm not, I'm not going to cheat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had to go to the emergency room because I didn't want to die from an infection.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You drink coke and you go to sleep. Very, very bad. Don't do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, and it's stupid, yea, that is neglecting, I guess, your teeth, you know, if you drink.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have no money and no insurance, no job, so I had to go to the emergency room. So I had to, I now know, I had to go get a $3,000 bill, which I'm sure it is, I haven't opened any of the envelopes because I can't pay it, just to get a prescription for an antibiotic because I didn't want to die from an infection, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world, and I got Cowboy in here. How the fuck you doing, bro?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, you're like the hottest new rapper. One of the biggest dudes coming out right now. I got you on my 2020 XXL cover. How the fuck you living?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, when you came out and she was crying and freaking out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How long you feel like you've actually been popping for? Cause it feels like it's happened over the course of like the last couple of months that you went from unknown to massive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really? So, wasn't anything that seemed out of the ordinary in that moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. So you just smoke? Is that the only, uh, only thing you need when you're in there? Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the process of building life for you though? How long does it take you to, to put us on together on average?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ten minutes? For the whole thing beginning to end or you still gotta like punch in over that and everything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about your upbringing in Chicago and just what...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like for you growing up, what kind of kid you were like, you were growing up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was it hard times? Like did you know that you were super poor at that time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What were you dreaming about during those years, during like the times that you now look back at those hard times? What was the stuff that you were thinking about that you were dreaming of?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy to think about, right? That you're right in the middle of it right now. The thing, the thing that the childhood version of you, if you had told yourself when you were 12 or whatever that you would get to this point, that's a rare opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For sure. Did you, did you get signed after NVMe came out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Cause they saw the talent and they were just like, oh, this is what we need. That's 100% what they're on, what they're looking for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How the fuck did your project end up with that one song, the uh, the thug, meek and derk collab? That's like the main one that I've been addicted to lately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a, he's a very good talent scout, like he knows what he's looking at for sure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so what's that like? What's it like hanging around me? He's just like a dude that seems like he's been through so much and he knows everything about the game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, so you get, like, how did you actually, like, when, in between you being in that situation of sleeping on the fucking same bed as a bunch of your family members or whatever, fifteen people in the same house, how did you even get into the position where you were able to record and everything like that? Like, how did you even get your career off the ground?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's what's crazy about you saying that that one song took you ten minutes to make, is that it actually took.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Is it crazy being in super nice studios and shit, professional shit now, knowing where you came from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, that's what's up. Uhm, oh, so you have like the full, you could, you could, can you make beats and engineer? Yeah. Damn, so you got it all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you really wanna get to the money, that's what it is. Do everything yourself. Yea, for sure. Like Russ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who were you influenced by from like a rapper's standpoint? Just being that you're so young, it's almost like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You probably, were you looking up to Chief Keefe or were you almost like he was already like established by the time you started paying attention?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow, that's crazy. I would feel like a 19 year old kid on average wouldn't go back that far. That's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's cool. My pops definitely wasn't putting me on a no rap music.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her album is crazy, it's just like sonically some of the wildest shit. See, right there. What else you got on there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She got a wild ass style, like just in terms of her beats and production and everything. Oh shit, you want that Tyler, the creator too, huh? Of course we got Future. Polo G, your homie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, my mans is on the Amy Winehouse. And the Kid Cudi. And the MGMT, Foster the People, holy shit. You got a deep, man. Ed Sheeran. Damn, a lot of times when rappers say that they like are into like a lot of music besides just rap, I feel like they're just lying because they think it sounds cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's like the problem with a lot of rappers is that they just sound like the only influence that they've ever got is from other rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause it's so weird. Cause Michael built so much weird shit all over the property that it's like, to make it like a normal estate that somebody would want to move to would be so much work that it fucks up the whole thing and nobody wants to buy it. Nobody's paying for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, okay, so yeaah, you were looking at Chief Keefe, so that, actually yeaah, that list of influences you just gave me was pretty, pretty legit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was like your family that was getting into that stuff from an early age, but you were also fucking with a lot of rap music. Cause your style is like you can rap and you can just like sing. Like you can totally do both very efficiently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Is Dirk somebody that you have a relationship with? Cause he's on the project and also seems like somebody that you might have been influenced by.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's wild, there's like a whole new generation of Chicago rappers poppin' off. It's like, if there was any chance that it was gonna just be like Sosa and them came out and had their wave, it's like very obvious now that that's not the case. Cause we got like U, Polo G, Lil Z.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Juice WRLD, like there's a whole new generation of dudes popping off out of the Chicago area.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that, is that how you feel right now that all of a sudden all these people that, that you were probably trying to turn on your music for years, that all of a sudden they're on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. You still spend a lot of time there, or you must have just been on the road for this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Do you, uh, have you been on a bunch of big tours and stuff? Who you've been on the road with?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you don't have anything holding them back from just saying the most ridiculous shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no. Is there anybody else that you, like, feel like you have a relationship with that they reach out to you in the game and shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it must feel like really fucking good to just be having that kind of relationship, even knowing like somebody like meek on that level is just like, that's wild to me. Like just to think that they like would reach out and like get involved on that level is pretty, pretty crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna try to expose you. Talk about that. Do some weird ass shit. What, you had some bad experiences already? You get robbed by a groupie yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It didn't happen to me, but I feel like, well actually one time I was having a wild ass party with all these strippers over and shit, one of them tried to take one of my Gucci, I had a Gucci polo shirt that I only owned for like three hours and she, my friend walks in the room and he sees her folding the shit up, putting it in her purse. He had to yell at her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn, that's fucked up. Uhm, yo, where did the cowboy nickname come from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? So all of a sudden you're like 25 minutes in and you start realizing like, wait a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See that could have been, you could have been Lil Nas X. You could have caught that country wave. Nah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't he drop it yesterday? Yea, but the EP, he had like Panini was out for like 12 hours and then he put the EP out, but I ain't heard the full thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Nah, that was cool. Hey Panini, don't you be a meanie. I'm still like, wrapping my head around that. Where the fuck that came from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck. Uhm, okay, so what's the game plan for you from here in terms of where you, what you think you need to do in order to keep your career going in the right direction? You got this project out, where are you going from that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you're going crazy. Uh, I saw that you actually gave me a shout out in the song title of one of the songs on your album. Adam and Eve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a fact. He definitely like, he came out and just did his own thing to a certain extent that I had never seen anybody do before. I'd never seen anybody just go outside the box.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facts. In terms of how you see like the long term of your career, like where you want to be at in 10 years, do you think about that? Do you think about like the legacy that you're trying to put together of, of, of really putting together a lot of really amazing projects and changing the game?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's some stuff that you're trying to get done this year, in terms of goals?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, that's interesting though. I just realized you're a different type of dude. You're a next level thinker. The average rapper on the show is not talking about sci-fi and shit. That's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta do a shirt together. You do a painting, we'll put it on a shirt and do a no jumping cowboy collab. There you go. Money in the bank. We'll do a show. Sell the shirt at the show. Easy. We got a plan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We actually got a Papa shop in uh, Chicago next weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well, uh, it was dope getting to meet you man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world. Shout out to Cowboy coming through. That way. We high as hell. It's a Saturday. Saturday's it for the boys. No Jumper.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm telling you, they muscled in on me. Took over my storage and delivery a long time ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you only give a shit now cause the crooked man stepped on your toes or something. Where were you when they took this place from me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It hasn't been easy for me. You think I want to live with this at my back? I needed help. I needed your help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wanna talk T-Bones? That I can do. This stuff is out of my league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said he knows where everybody is. I don't know how, but he's got some way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How honorable, you truly are a pride.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A long chain of improbabilities placed the dark spark into my possession.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were all, you know, in shock. We were just realizing, open our eyes to a very big, you know, uh, uh, scandal. Call it, let's call it a scandal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope, you know, through you, we may be able to reach out to that person and make sure that she gets, you know, uh, what is due to her and that our services will reach out. But it is absolutely unacceptable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we're on this night patrol of human military police. They're going round from, uhm, barracks to barracks, mostly checking the soldiers observing the curfew and also checking that there are no women and children anywhere near the barracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Part of the reason that the Secretary General appointed a victim's rights advocate at such a senior level is to correct those kinds of shortcomings.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And of course I think what needs to be done is that she gets the support she needs, uh, in any and all cases.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is an ongoing problem everywhere, and do we have to face the reality that there's nothing we can do about it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, we have to ask ourselves, are we doing everything we can? You know, where there's no wand waving here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a reporter for NPR, I've covered quite a few disasters and the slow process of recovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've investigated problems with disaster aid and looked closely at efforts to rebuild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A group of them gathered last fall here at the State Capitol in Trenton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was surprised to learn just how many homeowners were still struggling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As I talked to Sandy survivors, they told me about problems with insurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As a country, we spend billions of dollars every year to help people like Doug Quinn. Money that's supposed to get them back on their feet and protect them from the next storm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the past year, we've been investigating where those billions are actually going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And why more than three years after Sandy? Storm survivors are still not home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That question took me to a dirt lot in Tom's River, New Jersey, where I met up again with Doug Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What remained from that home was still on his lot. So this is the stuff that stayed dry. Yeaah. It all fits into a box, huh? This is everything. This is all you've got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had no idea that the really difficult part was still ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's right. His situation is what flood insurance was designed for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But most flood insurance is different from other homeowners insurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's run by a government program, created after a series of massive floods in the 1950s and 60s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The insurance industry had said floods were too risky to cover.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Congress set up the National Flood Insurance Program in 1968.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The program paid private insurance companies a fee to sell policies and settle claims, especially in flood prone areas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The premiums from those policies would be used to cover all losses. Unless the disaster got too costly, then taxpayers would make up the difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bob Hunter ran the flood program in the 1970s, and he says he had problems with the insurance companies from the beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The insurance industry was brought back into the flood program to sell and service policies and expand its reach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the early 2000s, FEMA was overseeing the program, and four and a half million homeowners had government-backed flood insurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In 2005, a series of devastating hurricanes put the National Flood Program deeply in debt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the time Sandy came around, the flood program was nearly $18 billion in debt. And that debt...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was gonna have a big impact on thousands of homeowners, like Doug Quinn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to pay flood insurance on a house that doesn't exist. How are you affording this? I'm not, I'm going broke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He hired his own experts who said it would cost $252,000 to rebuild his home. So he filed an appeal with FEMA and then he waited for nearly five months.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To understand Quinn's fight with the insurance company, I had to journey deep into the complex world of flood coverage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The search took me to New Orleans and a high stakes legal battle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Hotaling is a bit of a New Orleans legend. A plaintiff's attorney with a taste for French antiques.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After Sandy, Hotaling focuses law firms' attention on problems developing with flood claims in New York and New Jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he says the companies use a variety of ways to systematically underpay homeowners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the lawyers dug into the Sandy cases, they made a shocking discovery.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evidence that several engineering firms the insurance companies were using may have committed fraud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A big time Texas attorney Steve Mostyn had joined hoteling in the fight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The lawyers found engineers who said their managers changed their reports without them knowing about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The engineering companies accused of fraud wouldn't talk to us. And neither would insurance companies involved in the lawsuits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But both argued in court that the reports have been changed through a standard peer review process.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as the lawyers dug deeper, they uncovered another suspicious pattern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it possible that the earth movement exclusion might not be in the best interest of homeowners, but it is in fact in their policies, and it's written there, and that's what they're paying for?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In February 2015, the fraud allegations... State authorities raided a Uniondale engineering company today. ...prompted investigations by state attorneys general in New York and New Jersey that are still underway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But amid the controversy, he replaced the leadership of the program and promised a wide-ranging overhaul. The new head of the Flood Program is Roy Wright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Examples of forged signatures and not just changed conclusions, but changed observations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This was happening across multiple engineering companies represented by multiple insurance companies. How was this happening across so many different platforms if it was just shoddy work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On the face of it, the companies don't seem to have an incentive to underpay homeowners. They don't pay claims with their own money. It's the government's money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But as we continue to investigate, we heard stories from industry insiders about the pressures to keep payments down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One veteran of the flood business told me what he'd seen happen over the last decade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] David Charles took me inside a sandy damaged home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He now helps homeowners fight insurance companies. But for nearly 30 years, those companies hired him as an adjuster. It also feels like this house is leaning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His job was to figure out how much the National Flood Program should pay homeowners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He says the program changed after Katrina, amid mounting debt and concerns about overpayments on flood claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The pressure to tighten up intensified after Sandy, according to several other adjusters who agreed to speak with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're saying that your supervisors or your insurance, the insurance companies that you worked for were telling you to pay homeowners less.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To help control spending after Katrina, FEMA increased its auditing of flood claims.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the most expensive claims originate here, in the basement. Yeah, there's ocean grass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite homeowner complaints, a Senate committee last year said it couldn't find any widespread problem of underpayment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That raised a question we wanted to get to the bottom of. How much money do insurance companies make off the flood program? It's not easy to find out. We looked at what's called the arrangement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the contract between FEMA and the insurance companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every year, the companies take about a third of the premiums they collect as fees for running the program. The rest goes to settling claims. Those fees come to about a billion dollars a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sometimes more depending on the number of claims and policies. So how much of that is profit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since the insurance companies wouldn't agree to be interviewed, I asked their representative about the profit margins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why is it so hard to understand how much the insurance companies are making, how much they're paying, what their expenses are, and what their profit is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We started trying to find those numbers. The data that would help us figure out what kind of profits the insurance companies are making.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But our investigation took us to another stream of federal money. Beyond flood insurance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Insurance only goes so far, and many don't have it at all. So when big disasters strike, Congress sends billions of dollars to state and local governments to help homeowners rebuild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see where that money is going, I head into Staten Island. At a local non-profit in Midland Beach, I met up with Tommy Consolo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And for some that stayed, building back means taking extreme steps to stay above the next flood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The job of rebuilding these homes in New York City, it's the responsibility of a special housing program called Build It Back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One family that was told they'd be among the first to be helped by Build-It-Back was Diane and Nick Camerota, a couple the president had comforted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But three years later, they were still living with a fish tank filled with sandy stormwater.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't just lost paperwork. It was also hard to get a straight answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The New York City Comptroller audited the program's first year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The auditors discovered why so many homeowners were frustrated. The people that were on the front lines helping victims, were they qualified to do this work?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] or experience in the field. But a review of the resumes show that most had no social service experience at all. Some were cashiers at Walmart, Staples, and Rite Aid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brad Gere was the top official overseeing Sandy Housing Recovery for New York City.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a question we had. So we got records of billed it back payments to the consultants during the first year. And this is what we found.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The consultants were getting paid to provide caseworkers based on rates of $40 to $100 an hour.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in fact, the firm paid less than $18 an hour to a temp agency for some of those caseworkers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That $600,000 house? We found it here on Topping Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The house fell apart and had to be entirely rebuilt in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out on the streets of Staten Island, I could see the challenges with rebuilding in these increasingly risky areas. Some homeowners had had enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, this used to be your house. Yes. After Sandy? Yes. You end up leaving?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more time I spend here, and the more people I talk to, the more complicated it all seemed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could end up with neighborhoods where half a block is empty, half a block is still below sea level, some of the houses are raised. Is this something that makes sense for our communities?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does it make sense to have different people doing different things on the same block? Different communities doing different things right next to each other in terms of resiliency?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New York City has taken greater control over Build It Back and has renegotiated its contracts to try to speed up the process and save money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The program plans to spend $1.7 billion to help about 9,000 Sandy homeowners. About 20% of the homes are expected to be elevated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So far, 64 of those have been completed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One family still waiting to have their house elevated was the camaradas. And before I left Staten Island, I wanted to see if they were any closer to getting it done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it turned out their plans were still mired in red tape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The federal agency that oversees housing programs is HUD.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked the agency's head of disaster recovery about the delays and problems with Build It Back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the aftermath of all the Sandy troubles, FEMA too has been promising changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so far, nearly 80% are getting some additional money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But some homeowners say FEMA is still underpaying those claims. And the review process alone has cost more than $100 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Since last year, the agency has also been settling those lawsuits against the insurance companies. Now nearly 1,700 in all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why does FEMA pay the legal bills of the insurance companies?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Figuring out where all those dollars do go was exactly what we've been working on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to determine the profits the insurance companies were making off the flood program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] FEMA wasn't keeping track, but we finally got a hold of some key data.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And from FEMA, we got the fees it pays to the insurance companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Using these numbers, we calculated the profits before taxes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Companies have varying ways of accounting for their expenses and revenue. But without access to their internal books, this was the best possible look at the scale of profits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our analysis showed that between 2011 and 2014, total profits for all the companies in the program averaged about $325 million a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was one number that really jumped out. With all the claims in the wake of Sandy, the profits were more than $400 million.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We explained our methodology and results to the insurance industry representatives. They disputed our 30% estimate and said profits are really 10 to 15% after taxes, but provided no additional data. They also said several companies have left the program because the profits don't justify participating.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The GAO is now examining how the insurance companies are paid and how much they make. FEMA says it's also looking into these questions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Profit numbers after Sandy when tens of thousands of people believed that they were underpaid by the insurance companies and see that the insurance companies walked away with four hundred


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, this is it. This is what's left of it at least. My house was over this way. My front door would have been right over here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was nothing fancy. It was a comfortable, cozy, middle-class home. As soon as I came here, I just was, definitely spoke to my heart that this was home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get weird with stuff after the storm because everything in my house was destroyed. So the process of just pushing all of my possessions out of the front door into a big pile on the lawn was really difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just assumed there's going to be a small period where life will be a little topsy-turvy and then, uh, we'll work our way back to normal. I did buy flood insurance as a contingency and that's what it's for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had a $250,000 flood insurance policy. I bought the maximum amount that I was legally allowed to buy. How much did you get? $90,000.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was nothing to do. Like I say, I'm 51 years old, I've never sued anyone in my life, and my back was against the wall because I knew something was wrong here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I won't get all that money. A third of it is going to the attorneys. They will not cover me for legal fees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, they'll do legal fees. They'll pay the legal fees for the insurance company that tried to cheat me. But they won't pay for the storm victims legal fees. So I had to pay over $40,000 to a law firm because my government would not honor their obligations that they made when they accepted my premium money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The amount of heartache that they've created, the amount of financial wreckage they've created for average people. We're average middle class people and we're in ruins here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Insurance policies, even for a lawyer that's been doing this for a long time, they're very complicated. I mean, they're thick. If you've ever tried to read an insurance policy, it's very difficult to read. It's not written plain language. There's lots of loopholes in it. Lots of exclusions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I looked at some of the cases and I had never seen anything worse in my entire career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of these neighborhoods were all underpaid uniformly. They used the same process to underpay everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have no dispute that there's an earth movement exclusion. Our dispute is, did the flood?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trauma break the foundations of the homes. Or was it like that before? They're making up fake facts to put it into the exclusion. That's the problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world, and today I'm here with Lil Tecca. How the hell you doing, bro?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm doing great. I'm really taken aback by how quickly you're blowing up. Things are going crazy, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because I hadn't even heard of you before that song, the lyrical lemonade thing, and then all of a sudden you got like 30 million plays and it seems like everybody, like everybody I talked to today when they were like, who are you interviewing? And I was like Lil Tecca and they're like, ooh, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you, you really hit the right song with this one because I noticed that you had a lot of YouTube videos out over the course of like the last year or so and there's some good stuff in there but I feel like this was definitely like just the right song, right moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, definitely. How, how, okay, so, but that's the crazy thing about you is that you're coming from Queens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it's more like a suburban type area, Queens like deeper out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was just like a different crowd. In New York, you got more of like a hood crowd. People are really different. Long Island, you got a lot of like straight up isolated ass white people, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was, uh, what were you into in terms of what you were listening to when you were younger?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every young kid now has like a failed YouTube channel where they tried to make video game uploads.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that's part of what drove you to be interested in something like playing video games online or even rap? It's sort of like the same idea, like you wanna be a different version of yourself that can just go out and steal somebody's car and GTA or whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. How'd you get into actually making music? Who led you on the journey to getting there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is so funny to me that your first song was a diss song about somebody that you played the game with, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you have any particularly brutal lines for him in that song? Like you say anything that was just like, wow, you just cooked his ass.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's so fucking crazy for me to think that we used to do the same exact thing when I was a kid, that we would write dis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is if one of the teachers actually caught us passing one of these offensive poems back and forth and that meanwhile you are actually putting them on YouTube but there's so much stuff on the internet that the teachers could potentially worry about that it's hard for them to zero in on exactly what harassment to pay attention to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The crazy thing to me too was I realized that kids get in trouble for stuff that they do online that has absolutely nothing to do with school. That if you had like a picture of you smoking a blunt and that you weren't, that you were 16, you'd get a ton of trouble for that even though you weren't doing it in school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I heard about it, yeah, cause it's like, it's like presenting the school in a bad light or something like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But are you thinking that you're probably gonna blow up so big by September that there's no way you're going back to school?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that bother you? Do you have a lot of close friends in school that you're gonna miss?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just didn't gravitate towards the people around you or something. It seems like you're a pretty friendly kid, like you probably make friends pretty easy in the outside world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. So the clout hasn't necessarily like made all the kids start acting crazy too in school yet. You haven't, you've been out for a little bit, right? So you haven't gotten the chance to maybe see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What made you start thinking that you were as good at music as you are? Like, who actually made you realize that you weren't just a regular dude who was just gonna make a few songs and have it be no big deal?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and I feel like it's good too because, okay, you're talking about Chief Keef and how you saw him and that got you super hyped on music and stuff, but let's be honest, the lifestyle that Chief Keef was presenting there was not something that was maybe a healthy or a safe idea for the average person to get into. I feel like you are representing for the kids who grew up


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Loving video games and being on the internet and shit like that and who grew up on that kind of stuff and maybe aren't gonna necessarily be posing with a machine gun in the video.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Are they confused at all? Having a hard time understanding exactly what's happening?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Music really started taking off or was it like you started to get a buzz and then the labels start reaching out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And honestly, in this day and age, there's no form of communication that's gonna get your message out to more people than music, than a poppin' ass song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And every piece of content, like you could compare a song to a tweet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way to burrow yourself into somebody's brain is by having like, your concept turned into a melody that is going to spread all over the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] True. Uhm, what else do we need to know about you? What other things are you into besides just the gaming and obviously you're into the music and everything?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Uhm, what's your strategy going from here? You got songs blowing up. I'm sure you got more videos in the works. Are you like working on a mixtape or working on an album? What's the plan?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got a crazy relationship with your fans? Yea. I feel like you're very close to them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely. Uhm, okay. This is going to be a short one because you got a, a, a BET thing that you got to run off to, but it was very good to get you in here and get to learn a little bit about exactly, uh, what's going on in the mind of Lil Techie because I see very, very bright things for you. I'm feeling the movement, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big time. Alright, well, uh, what should we look to on Instagram or where should we pay attention for updates on what's going on with you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. Easy. That's a hint to everybody at home. You might want to like and comment and subscribe as well.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this is what our communities are now gonna look like? These sort of ad hoc streets and neighborhoods?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, my primary rankings, I've got two sets. I've got PPR and non-PPR. And they're for redraft league, so just the upcoming season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we need to do more of that and I think there should be more of that. I just need to figure out a way to do it more efficiently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, there, there is absolutely a growing appetite for change in fantasy football. Uh, I hear about super flex leagues all the time. Dynasty leagues are growing by the year. Uh, I was just in Canton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where you have to operate as if you are a true GM. There's a salary cap. You have to balance it. There's trades. That has to be fair as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, it's crazy where fantasy football can gross to still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Success rate higher for wide receivers than it is for running backs. Even number two wide receivers versus number two running backs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it might have to take something completely unforeseen for it to happen, like an injury, something like that. Uh, and it could also go the other way where that player that you drafted gets injured or takes a step back in production and it kind of hurts your team a little bit. But there's going to come a point in a draft where you're going to need to figure out a way to differentiate between players that look the same.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] in over the last two seas and they will race to i could be the number one rec points per game than even


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, don't hang up on me. I'm going to say no. Uh, and it really comes down to what I kind of felt like I saw in that first preseason game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Against the commanders and where I think this offense is going and that's really more what it's about is the direction of Cleveland's offense. Deshaun Watson looked comfortable. He said after the game, I asked him a question about I was there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the guy is an electric running back. I just feel like in this era of fantasy, there are a few running backs that have a higher ceiling than him. And, and, and that's just what I worry about. Like McCaffrey, I'd rather have him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Echler would rather have him. I've had a chance to see Bijan Robinson in person rather of him. I think he's gonna catch more passes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where I really get hung up on with Chubb is versus Saquon Barkley in New York, Tony Pollard in Dallas. You could make the case for Chubb over those guys and that would make him the number four running back in fantasy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, first of all, I do think that DeAndre Hopkins does fall into this bucket. Okay. I'm talking about because he's caught passes in the past from some pretty bad quarterbacks, but he's also caught passes from Deshaun Watson, Tyler Murray, and those guys I think are pretty good quarterbacks, especially compared to Ryan Tanow. Tanow is serviceable. He's probably better than that. I'm probably downgrading him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think the offense in Tennessee doesn't tailor itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quite a different type of ADP for Mike Evans, just as an example. This year compared to prior year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you could throw Chris Godwin on that list. You could throw Michael Pittman on that list out in Indianapolis now that they've got a rookie QB there. Uh, I, I kind of agree with you on McLaurin. His ADP is a little bit lower. What if I told you you could get all the receivers that I just named in late round five or later in full PPR?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Baker can hit him on short area stuff. I think Baker will actually look for Mike Evans inside the 10 yard line and that'll really help him out. So I'm with those guys and I'm with it's two because I saw Kyle Pitts last year getting wide open a ton and Marcus Mario couldn't hit. I've seen Desmond Ritter practice in person this off season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not gonna say that he looks great, but I think he's an upgrade on Marcus Mariota. And so that makes me hopeful that Kyle Pitts, especially at his depressed ADP, he also is getting drafted in late round five. I think he's worth taking a chance on in that ring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Love this question. I don't know if there's anybody that can have a year quite like Jalen Hertz had last year, but I'll get to that in a second. Let's talk about Hertz first. If your league counts four points for passing touchdowns, but six points for rushing touchdowns, Hertz is the number one quarterback advance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that includes touchdowns. Remember, they gave up on Miles Sanders. He's in Carolina now. And they added DeAndre Swift, who's more of a pass catching back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could see Hurts running for more touchdowns this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] than he had last year. And I think he can be a better thrower this year than he was last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I take, it doesn't matter what I need. I'm never taking really quarterback in round two. Love Jalen Hertz and love the upside. Who is the next Jalen Hertz?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, you know you can get like 20 fantasy points from like, Kirk Cousins, Aaron Rodgers, uh, Geno Smith, I think I would pair him with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because he, if he's taking over the spot that Adam Thielen had, Thielen was getting seven targets per game. And, you know, Thielen's a great route runner, but he's not fast. Addison's a great route runner, and he's fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] three teams this year tha ball 700 times. I think th


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are they trying to create in their offense with more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This kid was exciting when he came out of college and his practices in New York as a rookie were drawing all kinds of attention. I had people texting me from New York saying Elijah Moore is really the best receiver that the Jets have had in years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, this is just one of my philosophies when it comes to leagues where you can start two quarterbacks, you absolutely should start two quarterbacks, and you should certainly do your best to get two very good quarterbacks on your team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Dashawn might make it back to me in round two. And if he doesn't, then someone like Tua, or Dak, Cousins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They'll make it back to me in round two. But in that type of draft, I try and get two quarterbacks with my first two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. I mean, not if, not if rushing is, is, uh, a favor. Because my home just doesn't run as much as hurts or how.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The very person that popped into my head is Roshon Johnson of the Chicago Bears. Loved how he looked in the first preseason game. Saw him practice in June and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kenan Allen's over 30 years old. Mike Williams has had a hard time staying healthy. Johnston could replace either of those guys if it came down to it in that offense and work as an every down receiver. With Justin Herbert as his quarterback, I really like that fit. And long term, he could end up being the best receiver in this draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he's somebody that I'm absolutely looking for in that type of scenario. And then in Buffalo, tight end, Dalton Kincaid, uh, really just started training camp on fire with the Bills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played five snaps in their first preseason game. Didn't have any targets. Blocked on three of the plays. Chucked a defender to set a pick on another play. I think they're hiding him in plain sight. I think that there's a very real chance that he's the number two target getter in that offense behind Stephon Diggs as soon as this season. Man. Tyves, you got a quick one. Wrap us up with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Depends on the format. If it's PPR, I think he's worth taking late round three, early round four, somewhere in that range.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you mean that a kid picks it up in a playground with a scrape to the knee, right? Correct.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Particularly nasty one. What was it called? Stenotrophomonas.

[Assistant] I think KPC is now gone from your hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, I mean it cost up to a billion dollars to bring a new drug to market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get the sense that you have to make some very ruthless decisions about where to put the company's capital, about where to invest, where to put your emphasis. When you pulled out of gram negative research like that and shifted to vaccines, uhm, do you look back on that and say, you know, we learned something


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long time people have been warning that the pipeline of new antibiotics is running dry. How's that going?

[Assistant] The first thing that I want to talk about is actually Dead Space 3. I know we've probably all seen the Dead Space E3 trailer. If you haven't, you should go look it up. There'll be a link in the description below. Or there may not be. I'm not sure. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do yet. But anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not a visceral studios representative. EA is not making the game. EA doesn't have a hand in the game. EA just controls how it's distributed and marketed because they're the producer. They're the producing company, not the actual production.

[Assistant] Uhm, Isaac Clarke was on the train ride over and he just broke that section off and he jumped out into the air and used his rocket boots to scoot his way along to the next train. And all the comments were, whoa, calm down there, Iron Man. You don't need to be going that hard. And everyone thought that Dead Space 2 was going to be an action game, but it proved to be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure Dead Space 3 is going to be fun, and I know that Dead Space 3 can be played in single player, but the game is built for co-op.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And more action oriented instead of being focused down on scaring one person.

[Assistant] What, I've been through a few Steve's Summer Sales now, like, like, without ever making a significant purchase.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Cohen is the legend on Wall Street. He's amassed one of the great American fortunes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steve Cohen is the legend on Wall Street, and he's widely admired for the thing that people on Wall Street generally admire, which is making a tremendous amount of money trading. He's amassed one of the great American fortunes almost entirely on his own steam as a trader.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the environment was very much wild west. Eat what you kill. You got to keep a large percentage of your profits, which wasn't really possible at a lot of other firms.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that was sort of his formative period. That's where he learned how to trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rental, as a firm, encountered a number of regulatory issues. There were people sanctioned for insider trading. There were a whole bunch of issues with the management of the firm. And it seemed like no one was even paying attention to what the traders were actually doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hedge funds have been around for decades, since the 40s, but the 90s is when they really took hold because a lot of guys decided they did not want to put up with the bureaucracy and the politics of big investment banks. They thought they were smarter than everyone else and that they could make more money if they just went out on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's important to remember that hedge funds weren't designed originally to outperform the market.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if a rich person wanted to protect some slice of their assets from sort of wild swings in the market, they could park some of their money in a hedge fund.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were a number of funds that sort of had high-flying big returns. So suddenly everyone thought, okay, you know, hedge funds have juice. They're going to beat the market. They're going to make me rich. And the expectations among investors changed and people started to think, this is normal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People were throwing around this term edge a lot, which essentially means, you know, what's your information advantage in the market? What do you know that other people don't know? People were talking about this very openly without any shame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I've heard many, many stories of bankers saying to their traders, if Stevie calls, you drop everything. He is our best client.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well a number of traders have said to me that everyone in the business used expert networks, that basically you weren't doing your job if you did not talk to expert network consultants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They had portfolio managers talking to doctors, researchers at drug companies to explain about the development of a particularly hot new drug. Then you had the hedge fund investors paying a lot of money to these expert network firms who would then pay these consultants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Steinberg's been at SAC for 10 years, you know, trading mostly tech stocks and is considered a very, very trusted confidant and source of information to Cohen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were several analysts and traders who felt very bearish on Ilan and Wyeth. And they could not understand why Martoma and Cohen were building up these pretty substantial unhedged positions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, Cohen would say, well, Martoma knows a lot about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So your understanding of the SEC rules on trading on inside information is that they do not preclude


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, the SAC compliance manual at the time...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you're talking about somebody who's been in the industry for 30 years. And for him to be that oblivious of these very central things to his business in that deposition was shocking. I don't remember what it says.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What it meant was he really didn't care to have an understanding of what the rules were, or even what was in his compliance manual, which just told me he didn't take those things very seriously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fairfax had been targeted for what's classically called a bear raid, which is when short sellers go out into the marketplace and try and drive the stock price down artificially by putting out negative information about the company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And by the time I landed at Pfizer in 2008,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were really down to three big guys and some smaller companies, biotechs and so on. And I think all of us felt that, you know, we had a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I received an email on my Blackberry that there was a mandatory emergency meeting in two hours. Can't be good. So I called in for the meeting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] External people who I spoke to, many of whom are my personal friends, said to me, well, Pfizer's just doing what other companies have done. There's nothing particularly wrong with that. It's not immoral. We are a capitalist society.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He had an amazing Rolodex. He had a lot of connections and a lot of it turns out came from people that he went to Wharton Business School with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the people he went to Wharton with, some of them became executives in big companies and consulting companies and he was still friends of the guy who worked at Advanced Micro Devices, AMD. So he continued to sort of cultivate these people, some of them he actually had real friendships with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day, Raj gets on the phone with one of his traders in Asia and he's so proud of himself.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And these hedge fund guys are making a ton of money off Winnie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She would message them and she'd say, uh, are you guys gonna pay? I'd say, yeah, sure, we're putting the checks in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Noah told his secretary at one point to get a $500 gift certificate for a nice women's clothing store and to send it to her as a thank you. And so they sent her the gift certificate and it gets sent back returned. Don't want it. What do you want?

[Assistant] She wants, uhm, $500 gift certificates to the Cheesecake Factory. And then, uh, she wanted live lobsters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gives a laser-sharp view of what life is like at SAC.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he tells the FBI that to do business and succeed at SAC it was understood that you give material non-public information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even know where they brought him along. That son of a bitch can't be trusted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're tough, okay? But you're not tougher than him. You saw what he can do. He's coming after you, or someone close to you.

[Assistant] Now just a little caveat on how I rank these. What are you going to ask the, the, the poll? We asked if the Jose was the best punch in baseball history. Okay. We'll see if that beats. You might get some recency bias in there. Yeah, a little recency bias. Maybe I'm a little recency bias. We'll find out in a sec. Okay. How I rank these. Malice at the Palace, obviously a great fight.

[Assistant] Punching a fan does not count in these rankings. Very different, that's not involved.

[Assistant] I have 6 really, it's a top 5, but because 2 of these in my opinion are the exact same, but they were both such good punches, I needed to put them into 1 category.

[Assistant] Was Kermit Washington punching Rudy Tomjavevic. This is a sucker punch. And you can take tag board here. It was a sucker punch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Outside of boxing. Because it was a straight sucker punch. Right. Tom Janovich had no idea it was coming. He ran into it, Kermit Washington threw it, but he crippled him, dropped him. He destroyed Rudy Janovich's face. Yeaah.

[Assistant] 5A with 5B being Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole last year. Another sucker punch situation.

[Assistant] An actual game. It's on camera. It's in the situation of sports. I did include it. We have the video if you want to relive it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think we need to overlive the next ones, but both sucker punches, that's why they're lower on the list, even though the actual punch itself in each of those situations may be a little better than the punch in the father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so that's why those two were 5A and 5B. Similar situations, great punches, but you don't get bonus points for sucker punches. You actually lose points for sucker punches. So the next five, or the next four, excuse me, we're all mano-e-mano.

[Assistant] One of the all time greats and we have a little video if you haven't seen it somehow if you weren't alive back in 93 and haven't seen the video in the last 30 years. This is the infamous fight here.

[Assistant] That first punch though, was good. It was a better overall brawl, than it was an individual punch, but that first punch.

[Assistant] Alright, so number three gets points for the technicality of the punch. Technicality of the punch. It gets points for being shot in 4k slow motion video. Yea, that always helps. It loses points for despite being maybe the cleanest punch ever landed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, just like how number 3 benefited from 4k slow motion, number 2 is a devastating punch before the times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have video of this because it's so old, we couldn't find it. Well, we couldn't find it on Twitter to use it. Right. And that is the...

[Assistant] But the straight right he landed. Now Larry was being held up. I'm curious to know what would happen if Larry was not being held up by Charles Barkley. I think he may have dropped him, but that punch was vicious.
