[Assistant] But, but, if, if he played, if he's clearly the best player in the NFL. I don't think he'd win it. No. Too soon. If, let me just finish, if he's clearly the best player in the NFL, I think there's at least a chance he would win it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less than a thousand. That, oh that's easy. More than two thousand. No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. It's zero. The only, well, I'm sorry. It's less than 1,000 because he could get hurt. Right. He could get hurt. That's a big part of it. That's the only way. There's no way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but it's much easier. It's much more like, first, listen, he's not getting 2,000, and there's no chance if he's healthy he's getting under 1,000. But, you gotta factor in the possibility of injury, he's missed time, and if he gets injured he couldn't


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Percent, you think there's a, you think there's a, you think there's a better chance


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's averaged about a sack per game in his career, right? Real close. I think he's just under that. So he'd have to average like 1.5?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, like, I think you should do a version about the people on this show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We could do that one day. Yeah, I think that would be fun. Take your pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's more likely to play for another team next year. In 24.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. That's next year, 24. I don't know. I mean, if he, if he sucks,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick Chubb leads the NFL and carries David Vigil. Oh, it's easy, the Chubb won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it gave it the joke who's gonna lead the league in touch. At least there's a chance. Nick Chubb is like third or fourth in carries every year. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never complained about that. I have. It's only these guys. And Brad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who? Who was it? Yeah, you got a lot of passes out of it. By the way, Cade York's field goal percentage


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Last year was lower than any year in Justin Tucker's career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, what was Justin Tucker's lowest year? Justin Tucker's lowest year was his fourth year in the league. He was 83%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, but his first two years he was 91 and 93. I know, and then he had a huge step back. That's a big step back for a kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what though? It's misleading because... Here's the thing with kicks, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you're not going to cut Justin Tucker when he'd been great for three years. And by the way, that year he just missed his deep, he, inside of 50 yards he only missed one field goal the whole season. He missed some long kicks that year. I think that even that 82 and a half was misleading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great last place punishment. Right. For finishing last in fantasy, he had to be the bad boy. And I was saying we should do it. We should still do the comedy show next year, but whoever finishes last in our fantasy league should have to be the guardian of bad boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've ordered the wrong size bidet. Well, that could be a big problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I had to send it back, and now I still haven't figured out the... What size of bidet did you order? It depends on, well, it's not actually a bidet, it's called a washlet. So a bidet, you buy the whole toilet. Right. Yes. The washlet is just the thing you put on top of your seat. It's an add-on. With a sprayer, yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I ask you a question, Doc? What were you hoping to achieve with your little subterfuge? I mean, Captain Lasky put a lot of faith in you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on, Doc. What has keeping secrets ever really gained you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only one data point exists that is not your own research.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Frontline continues its reporting on how we got here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nojumper, coolest podcast in the world. Today I'm here with Lil Keed, one of my favorite rappers. The new project is ridiculous. Long live Mexico. Let's talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really feels like you were just wowing the fuck out in the studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bro, it's really an incredible project. I'm not gonna lie to you, I listened to your brother's last mixtape for like a month or two straight. And I feel like this is the first tape since that project that I'm gonna be listening to with that intensity. It's crazy. It's ridiculous. Talk to me about that last Thug song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a very unique sound from Thug. Oh, that's old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I believe it, but I always assume that like his songs from 2014 that he's done with it, he's moved on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you, when you did the song with Uzi and Melly, were you all in the same room?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's totally understandable. Uhm, so let's just talk about your upbringing and where you were coming from and everything because like you stand out to me as being maybe like the slightly more


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's interesting because I noticed that you, like, previously said in interviews that you don't really fuck with the designer shit, but then at the same time as I will hear you mention designer shit every once in a while, it just seems like you're not as nuts over it as some people are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna hit that for sure. But okay, so talk about you and your brother coming up together and stuff because obviously you've been around each other since day one, but when did the music start to become part of the relationship?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that partially explains that you might just be a little bit older and more mature, even though it's like a year difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay. Is he gonna get mad when he hears that or does he know that too?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he wants to finish the song on the spot, whereas you're happy to like work on it over time, is that what you're saying?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean you guys are both popping off crazy, especially Wild as Fuck to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like you might kinda take it for granted that you're young and you feel good and your body feels good right now, but over time, I feel like as you get older in particular,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wanna keep your mind as active as possible and that exercise is gonna get the fucking blood pumping. Like maybe if you ever feel like you're kinda like, you know, in a, in a situation where you feel like you have writer's block or whatever, I feel like exercise is gonna be the number one thing that's gonna help you push past that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a theory that rappers can't really pop off if they're too muscular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50 was a weird one. He was like a dude who came out, was blown up, number one rapper, but also clearly on steroids. That was wild as fuck for me to see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who are you inspired by? Like who are you actually listening to that made you want to go and get in the studio?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Underrated goat that needs to be mentioned more often.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like everybody, like Thug is one of the greatest stylistic geniuses of our time, but Peewee is also up there and he doesn't get the credit he deserves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One time I heard Juice WRLD talking on the phone to Thug about like designer shoes, and I was just like, god damn, I wish I cared about anything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that he thinks that that is like gonna motivate him in the studio that he's gonna make a hit because he got fifteen thousand dollar pants on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you know what it is, is that rappers like you, and I think Thug is really kinda like one of the earliest ones of this, is that you guys, like you when you make music, it's like energy music in the sense that I think you realize that when you go in the studio, you gotta be in the state of mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hydration's the best, cause if you ain't hydrated and you start drinking some Hennessy, then you're gonna be fucked up real quick. But if you're hydrated, you can sit there and sip it and be-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why whenever, that's why if you hang out with some girls, they're never hydrated enough. You start drinking with them, they get too drunk too fast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Like I had to drink like a little tiny shot like that and I was feeling kinda drunk like maybe I shouldn't drive home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We about to get a house and that's my main goal is just to get a nice ass pool table so I can work on my skills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he put his sister on one of his albums, he had her rapping and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh shit, I gotta get the water balance out of the exotic sodas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got him in front though, people always think I must be some fucking connoisseur of the sodas just because I got him in the store.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. That's a serious decision for me. Spice wood peach. We got all the rare shit coming in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you feel like, uhm, I'm just thinking about this cause I'm looking at your slime shirt. It feels like you guys were like innovators of that shit. And now, I seen a white kid with a tattoo that says slat the other day. It's taking over the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it weird for you though to see that, that, that sign becoming so big?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I'll ask people, I'll be like, what, like, what, like, early on I remember asking DJ Scheme, I'm like, what does that slatshit mean? He's like, I don't even know, I just hung out with Tho the other night and I just couldn't stop saying it after.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all business at the end of the day. If you got slang, that's the goal is to come up with something that's so hot that all the little kids start repeating it and then all of a sudden you're making money from it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like one crazy thing about you is that you've gone viral multiple times based on people not really understanding what the average rapper sounds like in the studio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause you're willing to actually put it on Instagram live of you like feeling out a track, sort of putting that, like, cause you know it's like a lot of times people when they don't write their stuff down there's a little bit of mumbling and just finding the flows and especially something like you, you have a lot of really interesting different melodies, you take tracks in all kinds of different directions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's how you think of it, is like, you create like a, like an idea of what it's gonna sound like and then you go in and tune it up and, and actually figure out what you really wanna say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you told me you were off like a bunch of perks or something and then you made 10 songs, I'd be like, yeah, well, you, you powered up off the perks and made all the songs. I was just smoking this shit. Yeah. Yeah. That's good. You seem like you're, you're relatively immature, you know, you're ready for all this shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How's it feel though just being like that new dude in Atlanta right now that's just blowing the fuck up and all of a sudden everything's changing and people are paying attention to you. I feel like you guys like last year we had Gunna and Lil Baby and then I feel like you guys are kind of like the next wave of like here's the new fire shit coming out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, all of a sudden it's gonna be like, I mean, just think about where you're gonna end up in the sense that like, you know, if you're a thug, like you can't, you ain't really trying to go that many places and shit because the amount of people coming up to you is so overwhelming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You just post up and just, are you always working on songs or are you just listening to your existing stuff or?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I can't believe that you actually came back to one from 2014.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or if you end up with a bunch of songs that are kinda similar to each other and you're like, man, I wanna put all my effort into one that is like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, is that almost where for you, when you look at your project, because a lot of the songs on it feel old to you already because you made them six months ago?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aren't even out yet. You're already thinking like, man, my fans, if they knew about this new shit I'm doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy because I remember I was at Complex Con and that might have been six months ago or something. And I said to Gary Vee on camera, I'm like, who's the new rappers that you're fucking with? And he goes, I'm fucking with Keed and got it. And that was like, I had like a couple of days before that just heard you guys for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess he knows what he likes, yea. The first day I met him too, he was like, he had just met Trippie Redd, he's talking about different skateboarders he had just met and shit. I'm like, damn, you're, you're inspiring me right now that you are paying attention to like, what's going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who, is there anyone in particular that you're a fan of that you still, like, would wanna meet? Not even necessarily a rapper, but like, you know, uh, uh, an Obama, uh, uh, uh, Oprah Winfrey, anything like that? They're not in a rap game. Yeah. Cause Gary Vee's pretty up there, he's kinda like an Obama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He tried to rob the place with a BB gun with nothing in it and he was Instagram filming himself the whole time, like, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of the employees gotta go to court in like a couple months and like talk about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Basically. But at the same time, it's like, I don't really feel that bad for him. It's like he's just trying to work in a fucking bike shop. He didn't ask to have a gun put in his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was slick with it though, he like walked over to the door and just slammed the door in the guy's face and then the guy threw the gun. I'm like watching this, I'm like, why'd you, why'd you throw the gun? Like you didn't even do anything with it. You don't got a reason to hide it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you, like, we're talking about how, you know, okay, your brother is filling a large part of his life with partying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And clothes and all this shit, like where's your brain gravity? Are you just like 100% music all the time or what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wanna see your shit live cause you just, like, that mixtape has really captivated me, man. I'm still on it. I'm actually glad that this interview got postponed by like three days cause it gave me time to listen to it a few more times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God, that's crazy. I was cheating like, that seems so fucked up in retrospect though, like cheating in school, like I was cheating in college. You didn't get a lot of trouble for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kick, yeaah. I had a kick for a little bit, never really got into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like this, it's actually owned by Facebook and Instagram, but it's like a texting app that nobody uses out here and everybody in Europe and shit is like obsessed with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. I know you're here with your girl, but like if you meet a girl in England, they're like, oh yeah, hit me on WhatsApp. You're like, what? Eventually you start to have to get used to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah man. Uhm, alright, you know, I'm just happy that we got to connect and everything. The project is insane. Everybody needs to go get that shit ASAP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was it about Mexico? Tell me a little bit about them real quick before we end this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all good. Appreciate you coming through. Anything you want to tell the people before we wrap this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to Lil Keed, I'm part of the family now, I got both brothers on the show. My dudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little Jumper. Coolest podcast in the world. Check us out on YouTube, Soundcloud, iTunes. Lil Keed, up next. Go get that project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm here off the coast of Panama where we just recovered what we believe to be the coffin of legendary explorer Sir Francis Drake, who was buried at sea over 400 years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, okay, what's going on? Uh, pirates. Pirates?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for the loan Mr. Drake. I think I've earned a look at that diary when we land.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh no, the camera? No, the camera's fine. Don't worry about the camera, no. Still as good as new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I don't, I don't care for over budget. I mean, do you realize that this could be like, the biggest story of the year? No, I don't trust him, okay?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should've seen that one coming. Ugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can take care of myself. Besides, you owe me one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I'm not a big time treasure hunter like you, but I doubt you're gonna find Eldorado in there. How'd you get yourself in this mess?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Traditional sandstone brick and stucco limestone mortar, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh-huh. Check this out. Okay, see this building in the harbor?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's where all the boats coming into the colony would have unloaded their cargo. So if the El Dorado treasure came to this island, it would have had to have come through here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh please! You quit if you want to, but don't use me as an excuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's it. You're just gonna forget about the treasure and forget about Drake?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay. Listen, either way we have to head back to the harbor. Don't worry about it. We can argue about it later. It'll be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't get it. How does a whole colony just drop out of history?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I read a story once about a cursed Inca treasure. You don't suppose that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying something bad happened here. The whole colony doesn't just up and vanish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoa, reading 16th century Spanish? Not just a grave robber after all, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had you pegged as more of a woman in every port kinda guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 29th of January 1596.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oop. I don't see any boat, Nate. Looks like we missed our chance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you know what? Why don't I just wait here and you can, uh, swing around and come back and pick me up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing. I just wanna, you know, stay here and get some more footage. I'll be safe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, Nate. I mean, how much do you trust this guy? It's not exactly like they're holding them at gunpoint.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, northish. Yeaah, towards the mountains.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Spanish booby-trapped the island to protect their gold?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] None of that matters now. Alright, so how is it you're standing here breathing and all, huh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, you boys aren't gonna get all chummy and leave the girl behind again, are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, it looks like there might be a passage this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh well, you know, I did manage to save one small thing. Here, I thought you might miss this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, that's alright. There'll be other stories. You still owe me one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like an entirely new autonomous zone spanning six city blocks in Seattle. Excuse me? What's up, this is Chaz. Could've picked any name and you landed on that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just as long as he's willing to learn, don't you know? Which I am, but I'm not too sure about your thing. Minneapolis is just trying a new way to keep people safe. It is way too cold there for crime anyway. But you're disbanding the police? You betcha. Who's gonna stop, like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But how did the king of hedge funds do it? How does anybody make 60% a year? Well, the feds are asking that right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in order for him to return to you a 50% profit, he has to make 100%. He has to double money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After expenses to deliver 30% to his clients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're talking, uh, 10 funds, 20 funds. It was a lot of funds. It was a lot of funds. What did you say amongst yourselves? What did you think you were onto here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a picture I've seen of you with Rajaratnam under arrest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Individual consultants that you were linking up with the hedge fund managers were asked to sign an agreement by your company. Right. And that agreement stipulated what exactly?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It occurred to me that over the course of these calls that experts may at times have been talking about things they should not have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wrote, uh, it was bound to happen from time to time. So you were aware that this was not just possible, but was likely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they had a first trial on a drug and that looked promising to you and that contributed to your decision to buy more shares.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what did that mean to you when you learned that SAC had taken a large position?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you played in the market and you lost. Yes. It happens to people all the time in the stock market. Yes. What was different?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Individuals have pled guilty to insider trading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The government, uh, alleged that SAC Capital was, quote, a veritable magnet of market cheaters. And they then decided to indict the company, not the founder and architect and president, the man who ran the company. Does that make sense?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, even if the company is indicted, I don't really face any consequences for setting that up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it became less obvious that you were able to invent new antibiotics. And the brand new things just weren't coming at the same pace. And then in the 90s, in the first part of this century,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You said it would settle. That doesn't mean I have to agree to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fine, go off in a huff. I'm through talking anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, there's no muscle left on it and, uh, you know, I only got about six inches left and the bone stops there and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? No. Oh, no, no, not again, not you. If you're not here, where are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, I wouldn't, how could I?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah! I did not see that! Ah!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's stipulated that they couldn't talk specifically about their own company. They couldn't give out proprietary information about their own company.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, because there's security laws, uh, you know, that prohibit that type of information being exchanged.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, that they could be disclosing information that they shouldn't have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, is there going to be, is a consultant going to give out a piece of information that they shouldn't? You know, is that going to happen? The probability is yes, it will happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That someone will talk about something that they shouldn't if you have 10,000 calls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I walk in and there's a couple guys in suits and these two guys turn out to be FBI agents. They played recordings for me. And they told you what? They told me they were going to arrest our clients, they were going to arrest our consultants, they were going to arrest everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We put the baby through so many tests, blood tests, catheter, and it's frustrating putting a very young child through that and still not having answers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Noah first came back to the room, you know, it was scary. I mean, he was, he was in a coma.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. S Heidelberg outbreak associated to foster farms chicken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the Ethiopian Airlines crashed two weeks ago, countries around the world came together to ground the Boeing 737 MAX 8 when it was found that the plane itself may have caused the crash.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the question has become how was a self-crashing plane allowed to fly in the first place?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only training pilots had for this new plane was an hour on an iPad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And look, don't get me wrong, iPads are good for a lot of things, alright? Watching Netflix, uh, getting your child to shut up, uh, or taking a picture while ruining the view of everybody behind you. It's really great for that. I don't know why you brought an iPad to a concert, but that's you, clearly. Now I'm at a concert watching the concert on your shitty little TV, but whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what I don't know is why people are using an iPad to teach pilots, right? I don't know if an iPad is the best way to teach a pilot how to fly a plane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mostly because it's hard to do anything for an hour on an iPad. So distracting. You're like, alright, lesson one. Here we go, let's get started. Uh, oh, but first a little Twitter. Oh, here we go. And someone's like, have you done your training? Ah, no, but I bought some towels on Amazon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, Boeing says the reason they gave the pilots iPads is because this new plane is very similar to the old ones. But the experts are saying the real reason Boeing didn't do simulator training is because it saved everyone money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now look, companies are always gonna try and cut costs to maximize profits, but that's why you have regulators. Regulators are there to make sure that cost cutting doesn't cut down on safety.

[Assistant] And that's the job of the Federal Aviation Administration, the FAA. But it turns out somewhere along the line, the FAA went from Boeing's boss to Boeing's bitch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it turns out that because the FAA lacks funding, they can't afford to hire people skilled enough to certify the planes. So they just have to trust that the plane manufacturers will regulate themselves. Which is a pretty sweet deal for the plane manufacturers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta have someone else looking over you. Imagine if God let us decide whether or not to smite ourselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And here's the thing, the FAA deferring to the plane makers affects all aspects of air travel. Like, for instance, you know how seats are getting smaller and closer together? Many people have argued that that's unsafe. But the FAA says it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why? Because the plane manufacturers tell them that it's fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That seems insane to me. Like, how far does this trust go? Someday we're gonna be getting on a plane, and the flight attendant's just gonna be like, your seat is on the wing. We'll be like, uh, is that safe? Yeah, Boeing says it's fine. Uh, just keep your arms like this. We'll be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So look, until the FAA starts providing some oversight, the least they can do is give us a more realistic understanding of the dangers we face when we get on a plane. That's the least. Just let us know what we're getting into.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we thought we would help them because they don't have any money, so we made this safety video for them to use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks, by the way, for leaving off Tiny, Tiny Tim. You'd think I'd have outgrown that centuries ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to admit when they asked me to watch the door, I wasn't sure what to expect when you came through that portal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know you aren't here on a social call, so thanks for not giving me a hard time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure. I've only ever come in through one of the portals. I don't think you can get in from the actual street. But you can't blame him for wanting to make it hard to find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm supposed to bring you right on in, so if you'll come this way. Look, this is the one thing I have to do. Please don't make this hard on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thanks for understanding. This is all I'm here to do and I don't want to mess it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know I'm probably the last person you'd expect to be a guard. Or an escort for that matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little surprised myself when they asked me to do it. I thought it was a joke actually.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like that. Whatever you may think of him, he doesn't treat me like some broken little kid. I think he gets what it's like. He gave me a job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm lucky to have it. This is the only option I've got. Just keep that in mind, maybe? Cause if you and the boss go up against each other...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of Fable Town is gonna get caught in the middle. And if you're here, it can't be good. So I hope you two can come to an understanding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of us depend on him. Some of us never get to the front of the line at the business office. But he's there. We need you, but we need him too. What we don't need is a war. Hey Sheriff, hold up! I gotta go in with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right now it is allegations. Has CV Cohen or SAC been put on trial and have they been convicted?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me facts. Tell me exactly what it was, what did it amount to, and did Stevie Cohen know it? Did the firm know it? Because guess what? It happens. There are bad people out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] about the coming execution of the Rosenbergs and as he reads this it begins to show him


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That there's a way of finding himself by opposing the established order.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From all the things that were holding him down in his life. Look what he got as a Marine. He learned to use a rifle. He learned to travel. And he got away from his family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What he arrived at at Tsuki Air Base in Japan wasn't simply an Air Force defense base. It was a CIA base and the CIA program.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taking place at that base involved one of America's most secret and important


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Reconnaissance missions, the spy plane which became famous as the U-2 plane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oswald didn't effect the Soviet Union on a sun impulse. We know that. This was well planned.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the question is, could Oswald have planned this alone or did he have help?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I think if we take Oswald at the simplest level, what we see he's trying to do is enhance his credentials as a supporter of Castro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another way he's trying to find out information that would be of use to Castro, and the normal way you find out information is you join the enemy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Oswald's interrogation shows is a very consistent pattern to hide a single fact through lies. That single fact was his ownership of the rifle. When he lied about the backyard photograph, it was to hide the fact he had a rifle. When he lied that he had ever used the alias Hiddel, it was to hide the fact that he had ordered the rifle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could go through the interrogation point by point and see that Oswald will be truthful up until it comes to the rifle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to the most high man. I'm just humble and grateful to be here man. A lot of my people dead and serving time and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just fucked up, so just to be here is a testament of an era that's gone and still be here and thrive, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The concept of, of, out of all the rappers I work with, and I was like, the crazy thing, you gonna have some come here, just to traffic, but I worked with a lot of rappers in LA over the last 20 years, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Starting out with my man Boo Capone. Shout out Boo from the 20s. That was the first artist I ever managed in L.A. And he was on Who Bangin' with Mack Ten.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, from him to now, it's like a world of change. OGZ kind of like represents something that, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That if it was a Latin rapper that was able to translate it a certain way, it was going to change L.A. And I think right now L.A. really don't know, like they know, but they don't know because it seem dumb easy right now because it look like, oh they just got on and did that. That's just like 25 years in the making.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With the, with the black and the Latin thing in LA, he could have, just according to the politics, he could have had like a Latino manager or somebody like that. But OGZ is a real hip hop person. He's a real rap person. Shoreline Mafia, the name means something. Shoreline, that's where the waves start at, in the ocean. The Mafia. Three 6 Mafia.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? So that's really that. And I watched him go from that to working with, uhm, like one of the greatest people in my, I feel, like DJ Paul from 3 6 Mafia and working with him on his debut album as well as


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, other music. So to me, OGZ, he like the GOAT. That's why I call him the GOAT. Along with the music, the culture. He sitting here with his son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His name is Sincere. That's pretty, that's pretty rap. That's a pretty rap name. Yea, I like that. And he's sitting up in here with chains and polo on. So it's part of the culture. I don't know too many other rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That did that. So just to have him here and to speak for the city that I have my daughter here, you know, um, I became a man here. I grew up in other places, but I became a man in LA. So to, to have something that really represents this city at the highest level is just, it's amazing to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My father, I have a birth father, and then based on the culture, because y'all know I deal with Islam, that's no fact. I have a birth father that fathered me, and then I have amongst my culture what we call a universal father. And my universal father tapped in with everything in existence, so it's no part of the earth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I'm not gon' go. I started my journey in the physical in Tennessee. That's why I was spit out. And my, my birth father, he from the Midwest, he a gangster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he was on heroin, so he didn't have time to really, really do a lot of shit. But that's what I come from. My mom was a single mother, uhm, just trying to do the best she could. Me and P, we really bonded on that because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ain't had shit. So I ain't really had shit. I'm from, I was born in South Nashville, Tennessee. They call it Elso.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, it wasn't shit there. You know, my grandparents, they tried to do what they could do. My mom was young, she was trying to do what she was doing. And one of my uncles, I was about five years old. And my uncle came in my grandmother's kitchen, and he just said some, what we call student enrollment, he gave me some lessons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I was in my granny kitchen and they was burning food or something, and he just asked for shit to me to open my eye up. And from the, from the age of five, I'd just been on a journey and I never stopped. So probably when I was eight, my mom's was big into disco and my family, like most Southern families, they moved from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the Midwest and uptown. So my family, my grandmother's sister, all my people like that, they live in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my moms was always getting disco records and shit like that. And she got a, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, early thing for this record, it's a very influential underwear. I know niggas born and raised in New York and never heard of it, but it's DJ Hollywood and DJ Hollywood was like the first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was like the first personality. Like, Coke La Rock was the first rapper, but Hollywood was like the shit that we, how we move and do stuff now, that was Hollywood. And he had a record with CBS, a promo that never came out called Shock the House. And my mind's got it. And I just was listening to it. I was, it was like the whole world opened up to me. So I was eight, then Rappers Delight came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it just fucked me up. And that was the journey of my life. And pretty much since then, I was like, I gotta get to New York as a teen, as a pre-teen, as a kid, to go see my family. So we going back and forth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And my brother, my older brother Mal Kwan, my OG Slug, they brought the hip hop, I didn't bring it there, but they brought the hip hop shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, some people like LA, if you go to LA, you gotta get Dr. Dre, Uncle Jam's Army. You gotta get all of them in. If you go to, uh, Chicago, you know, Common and all the people that raised them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gotta get him up. But definitely where I was at, my brother Mal and my OGs, they made all that. And I just adapted to it because we was, we was in tune with New York. So we was the first people with bomber jackets. We was getting shit up top, bringing it down, down south. So we had bomber jackets, the graffiti culture, everything. And then by the time I was,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12 and 13, cause my, I come from a very cultural family, a very close-knit family. We always grew up. My uncle was a very intellectual black person. He tapped us into, we, I'm of Congolese descent. So I've known that my whole life. You know what I'm saying? I've been tapped into that. So, but they was into religion. I wasn't into religion. So about 13.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I started telling them this. And see, it don't have nothing to do with rap now, because rap is everything. But it used to be a time in rap, if you go back to the 80s.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When everybody was trying to study and find out who they were. Like now we don't, we just, it's about whatever. But at that time, I would say especially black people, we was still a little lost.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And our movements, we were trying to be, you know, the 60s came and ripped everything apart, the 70s ripped it apart, and the 80s just totally ripped it apart because it was crack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as soon as crack, right when crack hit, a little bit before crack hit, I started just like, I'm not eating that type of food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not going, I'm not celebrating them holidays. You gotta remember bro, I was around it, but this something you going into your house telling your people, I'm moving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going up here. I'm doing this. They wouldn't understand in that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But hip-hop gave me the strength for that. It wasn't in a classroom. I would debate my teachers. They'd be like, Christopher Columbus. I'd be like, he don't know shit. He was drunk. That's why it's called the West Indies, cause this nigga was drunk. He thought he was in India.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That motivation and that energy moved me to different parts of the country. So I, uh, the affinity for Detroit is because I was a teenage runaway that had gotten into trouble. When I lay down south, we were shooting people, robbing people. Selling drugs is, uh, uh, uh, rather people know it or not, that's an acquired skill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to learn the skill. I'm just saying, if I give you a sack right now, whatever, the kids is on pills now, so geez, you know, talk about a boat. If I give you a boat, you don't know what's up. Is it pressed? Is it this or that? And I come back for my bread, it's going to be problems. So I had to learn that the quickest thing that I did was what they, what they call now flocking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the knowledge and culture, but let me say this too, cause I know LAPD is looking and all that. What we talking about, so y'all can get the full motherfucking scope of everything, what you talking about is desperation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people not having skill. I didn't have a job skill. So I evolved from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that I learned that the first big thing I did in Nashville, they have massage parlors. They used to have massage parlors. So one of my partners told me, hey, look at the whole house. And we called it the whole house. He said at the whole house, they take the money out and put it in a deposit behind the backseat. They don't trust the, the women in size. They take it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who? We gonna go up there, we go up there, pick the shit out, run through the alley. The man is the security guard, he just see two people grabbing it, running out. He don't know it's two kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the first time somebody shot at me. I was like 13 years old. He almost blew my brains out. Wow. I was like 14. Cause I was in the 90s. I was 14 years old. And I went to school the next, the next day I skipped school. And I went and got all Fila gear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I made my little things, got into some trouble, and had to go with, uh, my auntie on the west side of Detroit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and, um, eventually had to turn myself in as a minor, but, uh, I went up there and I fell in love with the city. And I had a cousin, man, R.I.P. Rest well to my cousin, Dwayne Etter. Shout out to all the Etters on the west side of Detroit. He, um,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out to my mid-city partners. They know what's up. They used to call me Wu-Tang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, so I'm up in Detroit, we running it. My cousin, he showing me how to do it. They got the Coney Island. The Coney Island is like the, uhm, that's like the, uhm, taco places or the burger stands in LA. So he like, look, we go here, our partner, he got a Coney Island. You can go there, people go in. You give them the work. You know what I mean? You can do it. So they serve it in the spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then they like, look, after you finish that, we got a house. I'm like, for real? So this is like my day one, and my auntie, keep it real, she was so real, she was like, hey, as good as you up here, I'ma give you a week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She wasn't having it. She was like, you gonna get off your ass and do something. So, got off that, got in the trade, ended up getting my head. It's a scar on my head. From what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm about to tell you, so that's why I fuck with Detroit too. So, my cousin was a smoker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't know he was a smoker. I seen him one day and he had fresh filler on hand to toe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he got out of rehab, he's like my step cousin, fresh. So I seen him about three weeks later, he had the same clothes on. Once again, we grinding. I'm thinking like he just on a, he must have went to Ypsilanti or somewhere. Put in some work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Little did I know, he was smoking in the dope house. So, he tells me, look, I got a lick, this what we gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wear your, uh, I had a leather jacket. Wear your leather. This is a Mark Buchanan. Wear your leather.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lay your chain, come to the Coney Island, it's this dude, he gonna have a quarter bird, you can just, you can physically manhandle him, take the shit and get it. He show me. I'm like, cool, I'ma do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He told them I had all this money on me. And the deal was, he told them I was getting...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he stuck me. And I never saw my cousin. He never came back around and then tried to apologize years later. But that was, that was my life. Never had nothing ever happened to me in the street with somebody in my family. So I learned really right then how important


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Family was to be on point, I wasn't drunk, I wasn't high, I wasn't nothing. I only did that mistake because I was somebody that was supposed to be my family. That taught me a lot at 17 years old. So recouped after that, went to New York. My brother has moved from Queens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we fucking around in Brooklyn, getting it together, getting everything. He showing me the game, giving me everything that I need, cause I'm living through my brother in New York. Whatever my brother go through, that's what I go through. So, in our family, we don't want him to do nothing. We want you to go to school, you not selling no drugs, you rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's your thing. You going to school and rapping. My whole family, all our OGs, everybody's invested in my brother. He goes to, uh, Hunter College at the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I don't know nothing about that. After I went to New York, retuned my battery, I said, you know what, you right. I went back down south. And at the time, I don't know, you know, uhm, what's the boy, uh, what's the boy, uh, Yellow Wolf.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Yellow Wolf, OG, I wrote all that when I was on the run. I just was the hip hop nigga. I'm writing all this shit for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a white dude, he get picked up public enemy, uh, Professor Griff got kicked out of public enemy. You can just look all this up. He got kicked out of public enemy for anti-Semitic shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He picked up my white partner. I'm up in Detroit. My auntie called me like once again, I'm roll running. She like, hey, you got a phone call from somebody from Tennessee. What's up? It's E-Mac. E-Mac, what's popping? I mean, you gotta come down south. What I gotta come down there for? Hey, we got, we got a situation with Professor Griff and Luke Records. Okay, cool. They flies down to New Orleans. I'm down there with them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it don't seem possible. Because you gotta remember, I came from down south, there was nothing popping to going to New York, and everybody's rapping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then in Detroit, nobody's rapping grinding. So these are the three things that I'm influenced by. But I know in my heart, this is what I want to do with my life. Some other drug dealers came that I came up with, the biggest people in the city. They invested in us. We start going down to Atlanta heavy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Death Row got into it with, uhm, the two live, the, uh, Luke Records staff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, man, I was there. Really? Yeah, man. And I, I, I, I slammed the, uh, uh, uh, famous rap producer, rappers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We start hustling in Atlanta. So in Atlanta it's separated by people from out of town and people from in town. By this time I done been in Indiana, Ohio, uh, Michigan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] New York, Virginia, DC, North Carolina, South Carolina. 19 years old. I done did all this in like a two and a half year span.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, I know how people are. If I go to Atlanta, I gotta link up with the Atlanta people. I just can't be like, all my people from New York, they down here, they not fucking with them. My people from Tennessee, they like, they not fucking with them. My Detroit people, they not fucking with them. I'm fucking with them. I'm down there with the Atlanta people, Al Walters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Running to my man, he put me on Atlanta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We, we on some bullshit. He put me on Atlanta. Cause also what people don't talk about, they'll tell you about the drugs, they'll tell you about the good times. They won't tell you about the bullshit, Adam. You don't work the bullshit job. I come from the slums. We done did some bullshit at the same time we was selling drugs and all that. We done worked some bullshit jobs and did some bullshit. We was doing like some,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fake construction shit at this mall in Atlanta. Fake construction? Fake. Because they, you sign in down there, they had temp companies. We signed in and all my Atlanta niggas know about the temp companies. You sign in, do the warehouse shit. We went up there, linked in with my niggas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sign in and then I go all day learning the streets of Atlanta. I sign in, go learn the streets, come in, sign out. They pay me. It's fake. It's a fake job.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, through him, I learned the streets. I started running into projects that's no longer there. That was close to where we was, I think. When we came out of Walters, I was pointing like, I used to be up around these blocks. And, uh, to all my Atlanta niggas, those projects are called Grady Holmes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he was over there with the Grady Babies and, uh, making it happen at the same time, shout out to Naim Ali, who's, uh, one of the most powerful black men in the music industry. Naim was working with Dallas Austin. Okay. What was Dallas label then called? Rowdy Records.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Naeem put me on, you remember a group called Illegal? Y'all probably don't remember Illegal. Illegal was two rappers, one looked like Rantman and one looked like Tretch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow lil' nigga, I remember you a grown ass man now, so shout out Marley G, and uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I linked with him and then I was, I think from being around him, I was like, I could make, I could, it could be possible for me to manage a rapper. It could be possible for me to make this as outside of what I was doing. Cause we was doing shit. It just wasn't working. It was unsuccessful. Moved to LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bobby Robinson is a famous New York street dude and he was like, yo, if your brother move out there, it's a demo tape, your brother move out there, he should go link up with Dr. Dre and them and do that. I'm the representative.


[User] Please transcribe this text

They pulled us upstairs, smoked weed with us, was like, you lucky them niggas ain't here today, we exchanged numbers. From that exchange of the numbers, one of them connected me to, uh, Warren G.'s uncle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ryan G, I think that was his name. He was like a ex-Marine, militant dude that was the instructor for all of that shit, for Warren G. Then from there we got in with the twins, and then I went to, uh, linked up with MCA, where, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't remember, it was a big producer for them. This is at the end of all of that shit.

I get in the car with him, he drive me around, uhm, and he would, he used to call me, he used to call me all type of shit. But he was, these were, these were my instructors and that's how I kinda learned LA. And then, uhm,

[Assistant] All these years. I didn't give a fuck. I knew, cause once again, and it's the greatest thing I could tell you to any kid, school is never gonna teach you who you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your parents sometimes are unfortunately, I just told this, me and my brother had a great build today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you really love yourself, you gotta look at every person around you and you have to accept them for who they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why I said my pops dead here, I'm not mad, you don't hear me bashing him or nothing. That's what he was. I wouldn't be the person that I'm here now. When I was younger, I hated him, I was mad at him, why you got my moms doing this, why we living like this. Then I seen the man that he became.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's a withered person. He's a man of regret because he never stood up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, if you never take opportunities, it leaves you as a shell of a person. It's better to be defeated through, through attempts than never to try anything. Right. Cause it just leaves you as a person of what ifs. So I just was, I was like, no matter where I was at, I'm going to do it. And then some shit happened to me and I said, am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I was sitting down, I met P. And all of the things that I told you about, P was like, uh, P was like, uh, uh, he was a wild guy. I was seeing him move his car, you know, in LA you gotta move your car on different sides. And I would just see him, like, yea, move his car. Nah, like, you know, in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, I'm just saying yeaah. So, that's how I'm seeing this fool. Okay. So, I'm in my, uh, I'm in my baby mom spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with her, her grandmother's spot. And I'm coming out and I'm seeing P. And at this point, I do want to do it, but I don't know what I want to do again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then he, he always moving. I saw P actually. P was a really good rapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I always wanted to work, just get to knowing. We start talking. Him and Raven working. I get a part of it. That's six years ago. So my real journey starts six years ago. So imagine all that history I told you, Adam. It don't mean shit six years ago. Right. Six years ago, we on Fairfax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's poppin'. Me and him get a office. It's poppin' and ravin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crux and castles. The hundreds. A life. Fresh jive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I'm just, stores everywhere. I know this shit, like I watched this shit come up. And it's like, I don't know nobody really. Cause I've been out of that loop. Picasso, he know everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raven, they know everybody. They walk down the street, everybody talk to them, they fuck around. I know street people, but they don't know this scene.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to acclimate myself like that. And I made it. He'll tell you, our first things, me, him and Raven dealing with each other, me calling people, they had to sit me down and say, yo, you can't talk to people like that. That's not, you can't talk to nobody like that, GK.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's how we would talk to each other forcefully. I learned a new generation from Picasso and Raven. That's why I access the love. And then from being with them, like he said, Pete has a great taste for fashion, music, girls, food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So being around him, you gonna run into all of them things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm running around him and I'm running into fashion people and the girls and the music and we just wanted to make something tangible. We made it tangible with Noisy and it started popping and then from there Draco taped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did the thing with y'all at the jewelry store. So you can't talk about Draco because when we got into that other stuff, you talking about a juvenile Draco and people being young. We would talk about the adult successful rapper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Draco. And if you talk about that, you have to talk about his influences to the piece that, Picasso has the gold piece.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A thing in the streets amongst a certain thing of people would be the, uh, jade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What I will say is, Draco is an exceptional individual. He's a goddamn fool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he stopped court proceedings because he had to change his Burberry shirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uhm, I've had some great relationships there over the last six years of my life and transformed a lot of things that I'm doing. So, uhm, if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be here with our jewelry and me and Rami putting it together. So I wanted to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so Lo is in the hip mob, the hip mob is Ron Ron and his producers who are incredible, uh, and they click, it's his family and we love him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You feel me? Wanted to put symbolism in that. And that's what it is. It represents the highest level of American capitalism.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's our baron. So uhm, anyway, Jay had the streets going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Jay first meeting was when we had the homeless drive outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really. That's the first time we met. So no jumper is a very pivotal part in what we do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he had the streets on fire last summer and going into the, uh, into fall and into


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Adam, the goal is to find stars. J don't sound like Chyke, Chyke don't sound like Jeezy, Jeezy don't sound like Fenix, Rob don't sound like Kato, Kato don't sound like Conrad. You understand what I'm saying? Baby Smooth don't sound like none of them. It's just finding people that are stars. You know, if you look at, a lot of times we get compared


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To like QC, people like, y'all like the QC at the West Coast, but we really not. What we are, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, they, I would say our thing is finding stars that started in LA, but me having roots somewhere else, that, that, that road runner is always in me, and that's why we going to Detroit. So superstars, Jay's a superstar. This nigga went to like Atlantic, Asylum, Def Jam, Sony, Columbia, Interscope, everybody wanted to sign Jay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody wanted to sign Jay, but it made sense at Atlantic and it made sense to do it as our first thing. And he got a single, uh, video coming out tomorrow with 10K. He just been, I feel like he bout to hit his...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This nigga's crazy, bro. And he's very influential. He has a lot of, he has a lot of social media activity. For us, it's about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Giving him the space to just grow. When I say grow, I'm talking about like, it might sound crazy that somebody hit us from LA. I'm talking about like 50, 100 million. Whoa. Big numbers. See what we do. I can confidently say that. See what we do. And Jay is the impetus of that start on that lane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I was saying. Him and fucking, um, Chyte on Atlantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They the ones. We have to go see where Trey get. Bring Trey get. They the ones bro because they going neck and neck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out early fucking with X and everything. You put me on to the South Florida scene. You put me on to the golf scene. You put me on to all of that shit. I didn't know any. Once again, I'm telling you, I'm re-entering. I probably was year two. Maybe year two when I got coming around on that. I'm like year two in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Once again, you gotta talk about losing for so long. If you talk about the story, everybody tell you when they up. When you losing like that, and my girl is like, you got so much potential, why we not there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, like, the shit is like, if you with your girl and she like, damn, Adam, we cool, when we gonna go to the next level?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do it, and I feel like, uh, that's what we got right now. Him, and uhm, him and Chyka that forward movement. You know what I mean? So, shout out to them, and mixtapes coming out, tell everybody to name your mixtape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two weeks. L.A. your first freak neck. In two weeks. In two weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was it, it wasn't a lot of like the drugs, the niggas and all, people was just on coke back then. The ecstasy wasn't popping, they was on coke. That was it, keep it real, what motherfuckers wanted better than that was a lot of coke.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then Kato is, Kato is our wild spirit, he's our, he's the wild spirit, he's our ODB, he's our, he's just the wild nigga of the group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like a, it's really like a collective, if you break it down. It's in a group, the project came out in a group, but it's a collective. I have Rob touring on his own. Rob is a part of them, he tours on his own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Rob, Rob is his own person. So he got his own thing. When y'all hear this album though, it's all of them. I feel like they'll always come. My job is like a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, the pops, the uncle, the big bro, like to always get them to come together on, on when it's time. You know what I mean? They like the closest I've seen to a dip set, a Wu-Chang, something like that. And those things are volatile in different spirits, you know? You just saw a bunch of different people here and they was different. Look at everybody's energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all on different energy. So they never really in the same place at all time. Oh, Jesus is here with his son and all three of them is here. He might be somewhere with Frank. They all on their own thing. But this album, when you hear the cohesive nature of this album, it's gonna fuck people up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. This is the first time they've been together since the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, it was 19 turns, it was. Cause you put it in your rap about some shit about, you said some shit, but uh, Then he said 21 on the other shit. But, down the line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My point is, I seen this nigga move, move up a little more. I seen, he was the first on purpose, he was the first, our gold record came, our gold single came off of his mixtape on purpose.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, I tell you this, and this was on purpose too, that I always wanted them, and to this day, to have the most memorable moments be with all four of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this is something they're going to live for the rest of their lives with, all four of them. Wherever they go, whatever they do, they got their stamp the road with them. And they got the brand. So that's, that was bands and that coming off of Rob's thing, that was something that we, I purposely wanted to happen. So I think that for me listening to the sketch of the album,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He got some moments, Rob got some moments on it, cause Rob, he do his own thing and sonically and whatever, but this is our sound that we've created. Rhyme Rhyme, all them dudes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got that. They got the LA Pistons. Shout out to him. That's a Phoenix executive produced situation. And then you got, um, the party pack. You know, we did the party pack last year. It's the party pack too. So this is like for all the people that's in school, you know, some out of school, good California LA summer vibes. It's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's coming now. I think that's six or seven tracks. And then, uh, the album is coming. It's gonna be crazy. Y'all wait for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Mack P Dogg is the extension of it. He got a single out right now on the Machine Works Atlantic right now with OGZ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, he got a new street single coming out with, uh, that's out right now with Brody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's on Breakdown with Shoreline right now. Nah, nah, nah, we got a surprise, he got a surprise for everybody in two weeks. With the gang. With the gang. On that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so I wanted, you know, Mac Peter August coming doing his thing, an extension of what we got going on. So I think that's what you see when you see the growth of Shortline, you see people such as himself. I think that speaks from him being around and rapping to now being able to live his dreams by them being on in an extension of that and making his own career now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think, uhm, y'all good? I'm gonna bring in maybe some more producers. Get our good producers in and get some food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, we coming in, I wanted, we can't, you know, manage in like, I don't know, like 17, 18, the people that aren't here though, shout out to Baby Smoove, Baby Smoove is not here. Oh, he couldn't make it. Couldn't make it, he's in Detroit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and then look, better back to him. Speaking of Draco, if you gonna fuck with Draco, this is Draco's two biggest singles are by Bruce 24K.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If somebody could get Conrad, we want to bring Conrad in. Definitely, uhm, yea get Conrad. Conrad has the hottest record in LA without a doubt. I think filling the void, you know, the whole city felt something when Nipsey died. He from over there, you know, from the section. And, uh, I feel like the legacy is going to continue through him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he gon' announce something real big in about two weeks with us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, in the meantime, we just gonna let it rock. Him and Ju came together on that and just made it maybe like six months ago. Shout out to my homie Donny Dog. Donny Dog, me and him got together. He was like, you know, tapping in with the homie, which was...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Conrad and the record is just kind of doing what it's doing, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm loving it. Everywhere I go in the streets, somebody playing it right now, you know, and we really bout to go stupid on it in about, in about two weeks. For real?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just like how it's going. You got a single deal in place? We definitely got some things in place. I don't really want to just go into it. We be like, come on, Bruce, let him sit right here. So I'd rather let him speak on it. Rad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's back and give him, so the people that don't know, this is a big form. He's like, uh, uh, and I don't know, we, I probably showed you, we definitely, I definitely showed you at one time over my relationship with you. He had a song called Hit Your Rolling. I think we talked about how that started and that, and I just want people to understand, cause we talk about never giving up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we talk about none, and he got a real story outside of rap. He been in and out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Went up, down, and that's one of the reasons that made me, I feel like, fuck with Conrad because he's one of the truest people I ever dealt with in music. He's not trying to sell nothing else but who he is and tell a full story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A full story. So the single that everybody hear now, I think that was, you know, that's like you said, that was a purpose thing to get the return. When everybody hear the project, just like another, you got a short line project like this, his mixtape, it's outta here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I just, you know, wanted to make sure he got on here, got his face on here, let everybody know about the single.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just get prepared for this and then get ready for this mixtape, this mixtape. I just got turned on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They the foundation of everything. Like, I'm literally on an email with Jugg right now. You saw that shit, huh? I'm on an email right now because what aspiring producers don't know, and my guys will tell you, the producer gets an advance of the thing. So if a motherfucker make


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever it is, the producer gets an advance off of that. They don't get paid again, so the artist recoups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that make sense? So producers are living from outside of their publishing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then you have to fight for your publisher. This is something I like. I thought I was going to be in a better situation having them over them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. And win the case. Yeaah. That's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't the music person, PB in there with the music. All these people, anybody that do music will tell you, I come in for a minute and get out. It's not, I'm not the music, I'm not the dude that be playing your Soundcloud link and your YouTube and all that. I'll find you. If you had, I'll find every person in this room, I found them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Does that make sense? I came to them. At some point, I came to them and said, you, hey man, it's something. I don't know what the fuck it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First of all, every rapper, no matter who you are, you're the best A&R possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no such thing as a label A&R with us. We don't get down like that. I have Austin Rice. Shout out to Austin Rice at Atlantic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Austin is the great because he knows not to get involved. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what I mean by getting involved is the creative process. You know what I mean? Every man called, I was in the studio with R.A.B. two nights ago, three nights ago. He did amazing shit. He sent me a record. Jugg, they all sent me something. Mac Peter, I don't sit, I wouldn't sit down with nobody. That's the, the history of music is people doing what they doing. You feel me? So we just want to make sure that it happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if we do Dago, uh, I wanna bring Mitchie Slick in. Oh shit. Yeaah. He gotta bring the G in. This is my long coming person. Just let him, let Mitchie sit right there. We got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He did. So X was in a group with him, strong on steady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me and Slick go back like 15, 16 years. He was pretty much the, he's the foundation of what's going on down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when you have to look at like, even like people that, uh, certain type of rappers, like LA was always LA. LA is like a monster, a virus. They always just did what they did. But The Bay always had their thing. And The Bay would skip over LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when I was around slicking all of them people, that's how I really got into...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it makes any sense. We took, shout out, first of all, people never do it. I've done it on every interview. Shout out to the Bay Area. The Bay is the home of the new sound in California, without a doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, Slick was, you know, I worked with, managed, dealt with. Slick is my guy. We've been dealing with each other for years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And do something with it. I had to go to the original people in Southern California who was knocking it. You go to they different neighborhoods, they playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, so now that we kinda got our feet in, we wanna uhm, you know that's why I was saying we got the Daigo Jugging and we got another project I'm doing with Thomas Terrell, who's like the main video guy down there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he deals with everybody. So I just think it was only right, man, that, that I go down there and touch them people down there that I done seen in the southeast and different places. So I can't do that unless I fuck with Mitch. You know what I mean? So Mitch is, he got that and he got, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A real good situation down there with these good people. We got a, uh, artist that we working with together, Bad Damon. Damon, you over there? Yea, that's my eye too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Damon is kinda like, I'ma see you with shit too. Like he coming out. We got a mixtape that's dropping July the 13th with Trapper Harley. You remember Trapper Harley?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, it's gonna be in uhm, it's kinda like a far thing in Hawaii. I got all the artists out in Hawaii.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh wow. So that's, uh, July the 13th at the Republic in Honolulu. You guys all, you guys love Hawaii, huh? We love Hawaii. Same here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, you put me on, your man, I'm talking to him right now. When you go out there, it's fucking, he hooks it up. What you talking about? We going to the, did you go to the, by the, like by the volcanoes and shit at the gun range out there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we bout to be out there, uhm, for five days we're recording at the biggest studio out there. We got a, the show at Republic, so everybody in Honolulu come out there and then we doing something in Maui.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uhm, we just doing all type of lifestyle shit. But on the thirth, the twelfth or the thirteenth is when the tape comes out. So Conrad gonna be on the tape.

You know, I came up here with my good peoples. Them is all my good Detroit people. So we got them on there. Of course, uh, OGZ, Phoenix, Rob, Kato.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay, Chyke, uh, the outfit, the outfit's on there. Shout out Mel, shout out Brick, my Dallas people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shout out Tom and Tuck, Southside the Realest. They do that shit. That shit go crazy. Like I seen a thousand, fifteen hundred people in the club just go stupid off that. It's called Southside the Realest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so you know about, uh, you know how they do Lil Kiki, uh, the freestyle in Houston? That's how they do in Dallas to Southside to Relish. That shit go crazy. That shit go crazy. But yeah, we got, we got all of them on there, uh, on that mixtape and that's going to drop the 13th. Then we got another mixtape.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna drop. And then uh, trapping and rapping is the second one. And then the third one is called Money Wins Wars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what it does. It does, isn't it? Yeah. So you know, man, I just feel like we got everything together. We got one out, like I said in the bay, we got K.E. Uhm, man, he's amazing. I got a big remix with him, Ruchi.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Phoenix, Band Game, Lonnie. It's probably, me cause I, you know, I said I don't put records together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I put that record together. Cause I heard him, the neighborhood he's from, nobody gives a shit about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Englewood? You talking about Ruchi? Nah, this is K.E. up in the bank. They like, uh, they not, he not getting no light. That's why I say give a shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? Shout out Yada though. Yada was doing it up there from it though. Shout out Yada and K.E. And it's my obligation, just to, from the mud, to make sure that man get the light he need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we gon' put him on that format. So that's another thing with us because...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I lived in these places and did these places and lived that life. You gotta have a San Diego, you gotta have a Conrad, you gotta have a Bad Damon, you gotta have a K.E., you gotta have a Band Gang Lonnie. That's really where rap come from.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whatever, I don't have no prob- you know I don't have a problem with that shit. I love everything. But the true nature of this is about the struggle and people overcoming it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We don't have shit. I don't know how many people at this table grew up with their mom and dad, or grew up in a two-parent household, or grew up with something. This is, the music represents the struggle. Not to get, that's just the fact of the music. And 20 years from now, or 10 years from now, 15, that's just, that's still cycles gonna be there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this music just documents that time and we can do something with it. Like you meant, you do something with it. You make your mark, your way with the music.
