So about a year ago, about a year ago, ⁓ I decided to get his black electrician a shot, you know what saying? And just in, you know, my experience in real estate,

The Iron Fist: gravy.

Eric: Yeah. But.

2: side of the audience, black, electricity side. You know what saying? And just in my experience with real estate, electricity is like the light.

Phone Home: Electrician like the hardest, that's the hardest thing to find is a good electrician. So, you know, I kept trying to go to not necessarily the cheap route, but you you just feel like you can find something cheaper. You know, you keep searching for something cheaper. So I had this black dude, you know, do some work for me and to nigga like he, he did like half of the job. Then he'll call him like, Hey man, let me get $200, man, you know. I'm almost finished, man. I'm like, nah, bro, like finish the job and I'll give you money, whatever the case may be. And then so he finished the job, then like he messed up the job. like, so I didn't send him the last payment until he fixed it. And like the nigga, he like start going, you know, I got stomach issues, man. Like, man, you playing with my money, man. you know, you got it. You can't be doing all this shit, And so like, so like we went on this whole spiel, like big ass argument.

Eric: Man!

Phone Home: You know what saying? Like nigga, you ain't do the job right. So fast forward a year later, you know what saying? I got some new projects. Now mind you, this shit was in, this shit was like an hour away. The property was an hour away. So I ⁓ got a new property, right? And so I had a new electrician, but it was a Sunday so he didn't show up. So I went through this little app called Thumbtack. And like thumb tack is like a contractor's dream. Like you could just go find people. You know what saying? You send out what you want to do. And then like, it's like a list of people who they like send you like, Hey, you know, I could do it at this price, whatever the case may be. So, so I sent this job out. And so I guess he, I guess the nigga got a new profile. I guess he got a new profile. So, so he was the first nigga to like respond to my message.

Eric: Hehehehehe

Phone Home: So he called me, he called me, he like, hey, what's going on, man? I'm like, wait, oh, hell no. I know exactly who this is. So it was just a little $200 job. So I let him do it. I let him do it. So I'm just like, you know, I don't know if this is, I don't know if this him, but I just know it's gonna show. So I gave him one job. gave him, after he did that small job, I gave him another job. Did good. So today, today, I went, nigga, we actually seen each other in person today. And so, you know, last year he told me he was sick, going through stomach problems and all this type of shit. like, I see him now and like, he even put back on some weights. I'm like, I think this that nigga, don't know. Then, so I told the nigga for our love, I was like, hey man, I gotta get approval before I give you your money. You know what I'm saying? So I gotta take pictures and da da da da. So I didn't get approval from my people. So I couldn't give him his money. I was like, I was like, Hey bro, but I told you I got to get approval. And so today he reminded me, he reminded me of why I know it was this nigga. Man, man, I got five kids, man. I got to get paid today, man. You gave me your word, I was like, bro, I told you beforehand, I had to get approval. And like, so this nigga like, he went on this whole spiel, amen, tell them Migos men to put my spare tie up, man. I said, ⁓ hell no, man. Like, once again, I tried to get a nigga another shot, but this shit rap. This shit is a rap. This shit is a rap, bro. Man, yeah, bro.

Eric: Yeah. Damn. What the f... Yeah, say this the last time you work with buddy bro, how did nigga is he the thumbtack? Ain't got a lot of contractors on there or buddy is scouring these jobs

The Iron Fist: It's the last time.

Phone Home: No, he started a new profile. He started a new profile. all his old information, his number, all that shit is different. You know what I'm saying? Exactly, exactly. He was fucking up so much that he started a whole new shit. You know what I'm saying? And it's all about who respond the fastest. You know what I'm saying?

The Iron Fist: Yeah.

2: He had to start his rating over huh

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah.

The Iron Fist: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying. He must be sitting on that app like, let's weigh in.

Phone Home: That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. So he, he respond the fastest. So it's all about who get to the, get to the work the fastest. So that nigga, just sitting around waiting on work. And so when a nigga, hey, what you got going on? said, Oh, I know exactly who this is. And mind you bro, here we are a year later in the same exact situation, dawg.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah, you know. No, this nigga is ca- Hey, but that be the thing though. It's like, man, black businesses is cool until, know, and maybe this is not even a topic for the pod or whatever, like at this point, you just gotta go, I'm a big on black businesses and I'm gonna try to go with my money with black business first. However, after. You done been late 10 times, done been late. Like man, what I'm supposed to do with this dog? come on, what I'm supposed to do with What I'm supposed to do

Phone Home: you

The Iron Fist: But I think that's very valid, but I also think we can't just punish or put every black person in the same group though. It's kind of like, I remember this one time ⁓ me and Hope, we had went to Applebee's. We had a bad experience at Applebee's probably in Hattiesburg if I remember correctly. So because we had that one bad experience, we...

Eric: Yeah, for sure.

The Iron Fist: Generalized every Applebee's like ⁓ man they they terrible, know what saying? And I had to tell her like dang nah, we well, let's go to another Applebee's We like we live in a whole nother town now We we based our one bad experience in you know something that happened in a whole nother state It was like, you know what I'm saying? And now we saying nah Applebee's just terrible when that that may not even be the case that may have just been there one particular day

Eric: Yeah. you

The Iron Fist: you know, where they, you know, the service was terrible, they were short-handed, whatever the case may have been, and we just had a terrible time at that particular, at that particular AlphaBees, but why, you know, so I say all that to say, you know, I think some people can do that as well, where they may have one bad experience with ⁓ a group of people, but it did say, well, all people are DNC, you know what mean? That may not be the case.

Eric: All black all black people be late now this is what yeah, no, that's true though.

The Iron Fist: So I'm just saying, we also have to be careful of that as well, you know what

Eric: But you know what though, I would say this about myself. Whenever I go out to eat, or whether I go spend money with a clothing company or whatever, I'm a patient dude. so I honestly don't even get to that point with me. Like no black businesses that I've experienced personally was ever bad. Just because I don't know if that's me being biased or me just being like, I can see what buddy, you I mean? Like, shit, everything. Life happens. You know what mean? And again, I haven't even had many of those experiences. So, you know, I guess it's to each his own. That's my personal experience. Black business has been popping. I know it's smooth. That contract work be a little scarce though. That's different.

The Iron Fist: Right.

Phone Home: Yeah, yeah, that's different. But I mean, you know, as far as food and shit like that, like, that shit be A1 for the most part.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Phone Home: Yeah food and I mean shit that's I Think that's pretty much for the most part. That's the only thing I shop for in Atlanta, you black business why I don't really do a lot of you know, cuz a lot of Black clothing and booties be tailored to women and shit like that. Uh, you know High-end clothing so I don't really shop in that sense. But as far as food See, I don't really got no complaints. You know saying with the black business. I went to this place called uncle field. That's a black restaurant with some niggas about our age. They doing really good. And then I went to a place a couple days ago, it's called Twin Cooks, and they do really good for themselves. So I mean, as far as like, you know, that type of stuff, like I'm full throttle and supporting, but I don't really have no bad bad experiences neither. And if I did have a bad experience, I'm not going to, I ain't gonna say nothing. I just, I just leave it where it's at. You know what saying? Yeah.

Eric: Right, yeah, just get on down.

Phone Home: Yeah, and those type of niggas, don't even, they ain't got so good at their craft, they don't even say black on, you know what I'm saying? I think that's another thing too, like once you like, you good at what you do, that shit don't even matter, you know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Big Darrell: Yeah.

Eric: Yes.

The Iron Fist: Right,

Eric: 100%, 100%. Because people, it's like, go ahead, Willie.

The Iron Fist: Nah, I was just gonna say something random. Go ahead. You got it. Well, it was on black businesses, but I was just gonna say, you know, one person that I wouldn't mind trying on restaurant or, you know, food places, Bun B's Trill Burger. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, those things look amazing to me, man. I'm telling you, man. I want one of them burgers, man. Yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, yeah. You...

Eric: Yeah.

Big Darrell: Huh? ⁓ okay, okay. What's popping y'all? This your boy Big Down live from the loft. We back, we back. Phone home, whatever so this is, bro. 48, 48. Let's get it. But I was gonna say, I did get to try the Trill Burgers. was down in Houston. They do have vegan options too. I think they got an Impossible Burger.

The Iron Fist: The intro.

Phone Home: Yes, sir. 48.

Eric: you

The Iron Fist: 48 yeah you say you had one

Big Darrell: I don't know if it's be, I think it's impossible over beyond and I got a double on impossible burger. I got cheese on it. It was nice. That motherfucker was nice. It was nice. I will tell you this. liked it better than, yeah, yeah, he does. He do have vegan options. Yeah, I got the vegan option.

Eric: ⁓ wow.

The Iron Fist: Korea, I love a good burger.

Phone Home: So you got the vegan option. You got the vegan option.

Eric: low.

Phone Home: No, I'm saying that's what you got. Nigga, you ain't had no Trill Burger then, man. You had a real burger. You had no Trill Burger.

Big Darrell: But hold on hold on hold on that that that they were good man, and I went to marathon burger I had their on vegan burger. It's good, too But it's a ⁓ you have to be a fan of a veggie patty so they have a veggie pan like a bean patty I want to Yeah, see I like it see my baby She don't like veggie patties like she she like hmm She ain't too much care about the bean patties, but I like the bean patties so but if you like ⁓

Eric: Okay.

Phone Home: Okay.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm.

Eric: I like veggie patties. Veggie patties is my favourite.

The Iron Fist: you

Eric: Yeah. Yeah.

The Iron Fist: Did it have some good fries?

Big Darrell: The Impossible, I prefer Beyond, but all on still, know, everybody got they, you know, they got they love what they say about the Beyond and Impossible, but it is a vegan alternative and it's bomb too. It's bomb as shit, like.

Eric: Yeah. Well, how long? Enlighten me, bro. What's the difference between beyond and impossible?

Big Darrell: Well, Beyond is supposed to be non-GMO and it's supposed to be all beets and it's to be like, so they use the beets for the blood taste ⁓ on the Beyond burger. So it tastes more like a grill burger when you have it. Impossible is, it's not non-GMO, but it is vegan. So you know the little label where it has on the back non-GMO. The Beyond burger is non-GMO.

Eric: you Yup, yup.

Big Darrell: but it does have that grill burger taste, cause they use a lot of beets. And you know, if you drink beets or ⁓ do anything like juice beets, how the beets are very strong. So even when you're urine, you'll smell the be young. So it's kind of like just having a beet burger, but the texture is nice, the flavor, ⁓ and ⁓ it's even kind of like bloody, but it ain't bloody. It's just the beets that they use.

Eric: Yeah. Yes.

The Iron Fist: See ya.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah, because that beats gonna have that real, I juice beaks a lot. And every beaks, yeah, yeah, that beat, it'll stain so easily. Like you said, if you start to pee and you drink beaks, your pee gonna be like a tinted real. And it be like, whoa, that's crazy. Yeah, yeah.

The Iron Fist: Yeah.

Big Darrell: Yup yup, A-B-A-N-G-A-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y-E-Y Yup, yup.

The Iron Fist: Yeah, people here. Yeah, yeah, that's the best effect. That's a fake

Big Darrell: Yeah And so a lot of people don't like the Beyond cause it has that smell, that almost beat meaty smell. And so, but the Impossible, it's like a, think of a Burger King burger, right? Like flame broad, it don't really have the grill taste. It just tastes like a good piece of meat. Like, you know, whatever seasoning you put on it, that's what it don't taste like. So it's more like a stove type of burger or like a flame broad burger. So.

Eric: Yeah.

Big Darrell: when a lot of people like the, they like the impossible meat because you can make it taste however you season it. And Beyond has that grill taste. So you can make it taste like how you want it taste, but it's going to taste like it came out the grill. So, you know, a lot of people, when they get burgers, they like stove or they like a flame bra type of burgers. So it gives it a more neutral taste, I would say. So any place that uses a impossible burger is normally going to taste like a real burger.

Eric: We are.

Big Darrell: The only difference you notice is if they have the Impossible Patty, it's just so perfect. It's made like a round disc. But if they get like the loose meat, man, it's just like burgers. It's just like a patty. You can put onions, bell peppers in it. So it's really good, man. It's really good. It's really good. So I like Trill burgers over Marathon, but I didn't like the Trill sauce.

Eric: That's dope!

Phone Home: Marathon.

The Iron Fist: marathon.

Phone Home: Mm-hmm.

Big Darrell: Cause I'm a mayonnaise and ketchup. I like it separate. And you notice, I think the Trill sauce is like a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup. You know how they do that little sauce. I like it separate. I don't like it when they mixed it up. That's the only thing I didn't like.

The Iron Fist: Mmm, yeah.

Eric: Yeah. ⁓ That's kind of sound like that Xanthro sauce a little bit.

Phone Home: Right.

Big Darrell: kinda like that.

The Iron Fist: I don't see it. I'm not a fan of sex piece.

Phone Home: Man, I just seen a post with Kevin Stase say something about Zaxby's and Raising Cane's and he was talking about the, he said Raising Cane Chicken, he was like, you can't eat it ⁓ without the sauce. Like they don't put seasoning on the chicken on purpose. The seasoning is all in the sauce. Man, get the fuck out of here, man.

Eric: Bro, raising it.

The Iron Fist: Razor Cain's is my favorite place ever. I'm not even gonna lie.

Big Darrell: That's fact though, that is a fact.

Eric: Raising canes tenders raising canes tenders are so Basic bro, like people who don't people are some so double people choose raising canes over Zaxby's and that is diabolical to me Raising canes What

The Iron Fist: I'm basic, dude.

Phone Home: Really sweet bro.

Big Darrell: Yup. And look, look, I haven't had raisin canes in so long, but I know exactly what you talk to to this day. Like I go by raisin canes, I get the toast and the fries and I gotta have a cane sauce. Cause that fucking cane sauce is where the seasoning is at.

The Iron Fist: me. I can't stay in Zaxby's. I can't stay in Zaxby's.

Eric: Yeah. ⁓

The Iron Fist: That mess is crazy.

Phone Home: Bro, to me it's like raising canes is cool if you like, if you in a small town and like, you ain't never had chicken tenders in Utah to McDonald's, that's cool. But when you get out here in the world, like raising canes is the worst.

The Iron Fist: Bruh.

Eric: Man, you going to camp, bruh?

The Iron Fist: I went to Raising Cain's Collier's, it had opened up last week. Man, I was one of the first ones there. I took a picture, I'm about to send it to you in the text right now. I had sent it to Hope, I was like.

Big Darrell: Especially, especially if it ain't

The Iron Fist: They said that's one of the hardest business to maintain. That's what they say.

Eric: Yeah.

Big Darrell: facts. It's and then especially like if it ain't something that you you gotta have every day like say for instance McDonald's you know somebody going to McDonald's every day somebody going to Burger King every day somebody going to Wendy's every day but like a good like soul food a good meal you don't really go there every day you might go there once a week maybe twice a week maybe once a month you know so that'd be the thing with those type of restaurants

The Iron Fist: And they'd be good too.

Phone Home: Yeah. Yeah. then, and you know, like what I noticed, what I noticed a lot of, a lot of times in Atlanta, like, I had went, you know what I had, I had went to, to this spot, the spot that I actually used to be part owner of. I went back to it and, you know, obviously they got new, new people in charge and stuff like that. And so the egg rolls were $18. Egg rolls were $18. The egg rolls were this size. Like they were this size, you know what saying? They cut them in, they cut them in two. So now you got like Fola Egg Rolls for $18. You know what I'm saying?

I think a lot of these cats, they make their money and you move on to the next endeavor. But I just think with some of these philosophies and how much you might charge for a section and drinks and stuff like that, I think some niggas just, they just be in it for the moment, you know what I'm saying? And you can't even be mad at that. You can't even be mad at if that's they. If that's they MO, you know what saying? So like I'm coming in the restaurant like, hey man, know I'm trying to make some money now and I'm out this bitch. You know what I'm Or.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Big Darrell: Yep. Yep.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah. But you know, I think that's a lost art in just life period playing the long game. You know, I think that's just a testament to where we are as a society. Because, you know, it's like when you talk about, man, when I ask people about what's their 10-year plan, you know, as a therapist, and people, man, they can't tell you. They can't even tell you what they're going to be doing 10 months from now, let alone 10 years. You know what I mean? It's just like... Dang, the long game is always where is it? is it? Whether it's finance, I think, mean, all right, and that's tricky. I often say finances, you have to, yeah, like, personally, me personally, everything is structured for me and my mentality is to play the long game, the marathon mentality. Shout out, Nip. ⁓ But even with just like being healthy, even with just like, shit, just me mentally, like, you know.

If the food is not good.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm

Big Darrell: This don't look like how I'm thinking, right? I'm like, man, this bitch don't look like New Orleans. It don't look like Pritchett. It don't even look like Mallpoint. I'm like, damn, this bitch look developed. Like it might be the hood, right? But it looks so developed. It's like, damn, I could stay here. I'm thinking that bitch gonna be like, you know what I'm saying? Like.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm.

Big Darrell: But see, Atlanta got them back roads like in Cleveland Avenue, like them little houses that ain't.

Phone Home: I mean, no, do not see that. That's that. That is the hood. But I'm talking about just like the outskirts of the city. You know what saying? But like, you know what saying? Niggas be thinking in the hood and like nigga be in a full bedroom, 3000 square foot house. What are y'all doing?

Big Darrell: ⁓ okay, okay, okay.

Eric: Yeah, right. They got upstairs, downstairs in the basement.

Big Darrell: But I was just looking, I'm like, damn, it's so developed. Like the projects is like.

The Iron Fist: I got an indoor pool, I got an outdoor pool.

Big Darrell: Yeah, like the projects had like it was like townhouse vibes, right? Like it was like new only thing different. They had bars on everything That's how you could know it was a low end area had them ⁓ black bar fences But the structures and like the infrastructure was like very developed. I'm like damn It's like i'm thinking i'm gonna go see like some shit in Pritchett Like i'm thinking i'm gonna go see rundown houses and shit

Phone Home: Yeah.

Eric: Yeah.

The Iron Fist: Yeah. Hey, but I've heard. Yeah.

Phone Home: Yeah. Yeah, but you know, that goes to the money though. You know what saying? Like they have more money and Georgia has more money. So like they develop those bad areas, even though the people still the same. But when you talk about Mississippi, you talk about Pritchard, like nigga ain't no money, ain't no developing. You know what I'm saying? Same shit, but niggas here, they'll gentrify those areas and put the, they'll make low income.

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Phone Home: low income on housing. You know what saying? Where you gotta just be like, you just gotta make a certain amount of money and you can stay here. You know what saying? And then it'd be situations where like niggas, niggas, it had been situations, I done heard motherfuckers like not even wanna make more money cause they don't wanna lose housing. You know what I'm saying? Like that shit is real, bro. Yeah, niggas is not losing that section 85.

Big Darrell: Mmm Yup. Hey, I got this voucher. Uh-uh. And so...

Eric: Crazy. That's how pay too much, what you mean? You can't take that.

Big Darrell: And I say that to say, Smooth, I say that to say, cause you said something in the chat the other day. You was like, J. Cole may fade via a little light shot rack, right? But if you really think about it, right? I was like, damn.

Phone Home: Get better!

Big Darrell: Like I like to go and like when I go to places I like to view like I would like to say the hood, right? I want to see what the infrastructure look like. I want to see what the people look like, how they move, right? It's only like a couple places that I really think is like really rougher than the South, right? So I'm gonna name some places, right? New Orleans is rough as fuck, right? We all know New Orleans. Pritchett, Alabama is rough. Jackson is rough. Memphis.

The Iron Fist: Ooh, yeah boy.

Big Darrell: Miami is rough in parts, but then you go to places like Detroit is fucking like desolate. Like that shit look crazy. No, I'm gonna get back to Chicago, but like Philly is rough. Baltimore is rough. Like the look, look wise of it, right? And then, and then you know, Philly, like that's what I'm saying. Like.

Phone Home: It is.

The Iron Fist: structure of it, yeah. Philadelphia looks depressing to me. And I know no disrespect, but just the stuff that I've seen on TV, it just be like, dang, bro, I feel like I'd be depressed out there, like for real.

Phone Home: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's crazy.

Big Darrell: And like, that's what I go through. And then when I went to Compton, I'm like, man, damn, these niggas, they like tougher than everybody in the world. But I'm like, nah, dawg, y'all ain't seen like Memphis is run down, like Jackson is.

Phone Home: Yeah, but no, think that's just the infrastructure though. You know what I'm saying?

The Iron Fist: Yeah.

Big Darrell: But like, you know what the infrastructure got to do a lot with the people too? Cause like imagine like, you, it's like, that's what I'm saying. Like, like that's what I'm saying.

The Iron Fist: The mentality of it, seemed like it would too. It seemed like it would for real. Cause I've heard like people, I've heard like in Seattle, they say it like it rains a lot. But I heard at one time, like that's one of the most places where people kill themselves in. You know what I'm saying? because it's so, and, and might I add, what's that dude name? Kurt Cobain. He was from Seattle. He ended up killing himself. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah.

Phone Home: hear it now. You make sure I'm be stealing it here.

Big Darrell: Cause that rain is very depressing. See?

The Iron Fist: I mean, I and he probably was in a whole nother separate town or whatever when that happened But I'm just saying it is I've heard that those are dope. That's like a common thing in Seattle ⁓ Our cousin my main ⁓ our cousin CJ he stay out there last time I talked to him He said it rains out there all the time like like it's crazy how like dark and gloomy it is And so that probably would affect your mentality a little bit. You know I'm saying

Eric: That's a real thing. Yeah, does it. It's a diagnosis called seasonal affective disorder. And if you stay in these places, yeah, if you stay in these places like Seattle, if you stay in places like Milwaukee, it's always like an overcast out here during the winter, you really, can catch seasonal affective disorder. And that's basically just depression because you don't really see no sunlight. It's always raining. You can't go outside. Like when the human body doesn't have enough sunlight, vitamin D.

Big Darrell: What's that, Bill, explain that.

Eric: Bad things happen to your mood. It causes emotional dysregulation. causes some health, some physical health deficiencies too. So not just your mental health. Yeah.

The Iron Fist: That's crazy. And see, we from the coast, we be in the sun, we come outside, we got the parking stuff. So like, you know what saying? So when people don't speak to us, we like, what's wrong with him? You know what saying? You know what I'm saying?

Big Darrell: That's what I'm saying. We got the water. We got like, right

Eric: Yeah.

Big Darrell: Yeah, you feel me? so imagine somebody like in Jackson, like who ain't got like the luxuries that we have and like, it really ain't got the things to do. So it's a lot of murders, a lot of killing and that's how Memphis is too. Like Memphis ain't a lot to do. It really ain't nothing to do in Memphis. so you get like, and so the reason I say that is because I just thought like, you know, like they put pictures in your head of like how a place is, right? Just like.

Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

The Iron Fist: I'm you,

Big Darrell: Like they say LA is bad, bad, bad, but LA only got 5 % or 10 % black people. You ain't, I don't think, and from looking, I don't think you as bad as like these other places down south or a lot of these other places, right? Where it's majority black people, like 50, 60 % black people and the infrastructure is way worse. And it's just like that put into perspective for me, right? Cause I'm thinking like, damn. These niggas hard, they from Compton, they from LA. But nah, seeing New Orleans, seeing Pritchard, or even seeing Miles Pond, shit, we ain't really got nothing. It's just like, ⁓ it's a big difference to me.

Phone Home: It is crazy how the city of Mars Point does not have nothing in the city

Big Darrell: I'm saying bro. It's like nothing

The Iron Fist: Hey, the sports though, they take pride in the sports and everything if they ain't nothing else.

Phone Home: Nah, nah, nah, that's it. That's it, Dave. That's it, Dave.

Eric: Not even no more. Pasagula beat Mawes Point basketball, I think in halftime it was like 40 to zero. Halftime basketball, maybe Tukey can correct me on that if I'm wrong.

Big Darrell: They used to.

The Iron Fist: day. That's one thing I remember about Moss Point is the sports, you know, and the bands, know, they was, the Moss Point had, growing up, I thought they had some of the most live as bands.

Phone Home: or it's in the womb, or it's woman and baby. Yeah, they did. They did.

Big Darrell: They did. And then we have to also put in perspective, right? Malls Point population is about 13,000 people, right? So we can't say it's like a murder-murder city like LA or Chicago, right? But I guarantee you, if you do the per capita and you do the crime rates per capita, it'll probably equal out. But it's not as many people and it's not as popularized, right? And so... I just go to these places and I just try to put myself in their shoes, right? And like I say, it's only a certain amount of places that I have been that is hella rough, right? And that what I'm saying, like Mallpoint is depressing, but, and every time I go back, I ride down the beach, I go to Paso Gula, I'm looking at all the infrastructure in Paso Gula, then you just go through Mallpoint and just see, it just looked depressing. It looked depressing as hell, like the houses.

Phone Home: Yeah, more for a different. More.

The Iron Fist: Yeah, yeah, yeah. different. It's different.

Phone Home: That little five minute ride crazy. See you.

Eric: Yeah, hey you fucking you fuck right up a little Russell whole catalog around the malls one

Big Darrell: He not lying though, like...

Phone Home: But. ⁓ Damn, EP, nigga. It take an EP to ride through more.

Eric: Hehehehehe

Big Darrell: Hey, hey, but that just like, man, that's just a big thing. So I have to learn like, like my pops will tell me like, yeah, cause this shit developed. Like, I'm just like, I'm just thinking this shit's gonna look like, you know, the nineties, man, this shit look like the future. I'm like, shit, I come out here and stay out here.

Eric: Bye.

Phone Home: Yeah.

Eric: Mm-hmm.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm Yeah, but that That what they said, but they say a lot of places in like on it in California that they said look nice But they say get live it like a certain you see what I'm saying like like it look all sweet But it like people be out there really be shooting and you know a whole bunch of stuff be going on But it just look a certain way, you know saying like it may look nice You know saying but you know, it ain't nothing to sleep on at the same time, you know, so

Eric: I do.

Big Darrell: Yup, yup, they do say that too, man. I can believe that. now, but like if somewhere down south, right, it might not be, I think people down south are more, the word is, I want to use is lackadaisical, right? They're more like laid back, chill, like I ain't gonna fuck with you, you don't fuck with me. Cause guess what? You might got a gun like I got a gun, right? In LA, everybody, they don't have that, I guess they're not prized to have or carry firearm on them.

Eric: It's yours.

Big Darrell: Like down south, everybody got a fucking fire arm. Like so, it don't matter if you, you know what saying? It could be the white man, it could be somebody granddaddy. You ain't gonna play with him, cause you know what he liable to do. Like in LA, I feel like it's more of everybody ain't got that luxury. So niggas can roam freely. Like the ones who are illegal or who have pistols, they...

The Iron Fist: Walmart see one with a back Mm-hmm.

Big Darrell: think like inflict fear on people, right? But you can't inflict fear on me if I got the same thing you got. You know what saying? And I'm legally carrying my shit. So like, feel like, like places like down south is cause or like Texas, like, you know, Texas ain't known for like kill, kill, kill. It's known for like more of like you stay in your way. I stand over here and it ain't really gang banging like in the south. It ain't really about gang banging. Cause it's about like you do me wrong then.

The Iron Fist: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Big Darrell: I'm a, you know, avenge what's been wrong to me. Right, like, and then everybody not scared of you. You know what saying? Ain't no young nigga scared of you down south. I don't give a fuck how big and bad you are, cause hey, they got a pistol just like you got a pistol. They got a chopper just like you got a chopper. And hey, they might be legally able to carry, but in LA, everybody don't have that luxury to carry a firearm. So it's, you know, so.

The Iron Fist: do you dirtier.

Phone Home: And about territory per se.

Big Darrell: I just think it's different territories like in LA I wouldn't want to stay in LA because I can't legally carry my firearm like in my car or on me you know what I'm saying like but down south you can't or like in places like Chicago DC and New York I don't want to stay in places like that I don't want to stay nowhere where I can't legally have my firearm and I know it's crazy and niggas got they firearm illegally I need my shit legally

Eric: Yeah.

Big Darrell: Like I'ma pass O Block cause I, ay. ⁓ okay.

Big Darrell: But before you go, did you go, Bilt? You went to the hood in Chicago?

The Iron Fist: Don't pull up that old block. Boy, I'm gonna slap you myself if I hear you go in the old block.

Eric: Hell no, I don't need to stop at the gas station in Chicago. I don't give a damn if it's a good gas station. Bro, I ain't playing around. Look, and I'm gonna beat people 100, which the only places I've ever been in Chicago is downtown and like the surrounding areas.

The Iron Fist: I'm sorry.

Big Darrell: That's what I'm telling you. And that's where I will go if I, my baby be trying to make me go, I don't even want, I don't even got no luxury to go to.
