3 god: Travis, he he doing what he's supposed to do. I don't I don't think it's showing improvement. I think he doing exactly what the plan was.
Big Darrell: True.
3 god: it like shit I mean if you're talking about cause he playing offense, I don't think that's I think see he played like nine snaps. Which that's what I was saying he's supposed to do.
Big Darrell: yeah yeah no no no no I'm just saying it's good to see that they getting him the ball mo. I I I think I I agree with you. I don't think he should play like the full, full game, but get him some snaps on some key plays and let's see what he can do. Shit.
3 god: I I think what what what I think what what people don't realize though, to be honest though, and I may be wrong but I don't think I am. I think I think the intentions was probably to give him more snaps like when they drafted him, but I don't think they imagine PJ Washington not P J what's his name, yeah. Washington I I don't know if I said his first name right, but I don't I I don't think they imagined that he was gonna break out like the way he is. 'Cause he turned out to be the number one receiver. When they'll post be BJ I mean Brian what is it, Brian Robinson? No, no Brian Thomas, Brian
smoo: Brian Thomas. Brian Thomas.
Big Darrell: No.
3 god: Thomas Jr. So she so now it's like she well Washington doing his thing. Thomas can be the number two, we're really Thomas, the number three, 'cause Jama Kobe Meyer is there. So it's like, she, you know, Travis, you can be that third, you know what I'm saying? Or really, you know, you the third. Hey, hey, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Eric: That's a hell of third-round receiver.
Big Darrell: Facts. Hey, that's a little line though. And I like the quarterback though. I like the when he played with Clemson. So he he's pretty smooth.

3 god: That shit used to go crazy, but
Big Darrell: And a lot of people that went to Mall Po Ma's point, they got a lot of good scholarships off of
smoo: But that's what I'm saying. Mars Point, Mars Point is a legacy school. What you said is a very
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, thanks.

Big Darrell: Thanks.
Eric: Yeah, yeah for sure.
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: uncle, even my uncle was talking about like that, and you know, like the reason and we've talked about Mars Point before too, but like, you know, like the city. it's no income there. It's no housing there. You know what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: Facts.
smoo: So it's like the football team can't even be good because shit ain't
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: nobody there. Ain't nobody there.
Eric: Yep.
Big Darrell: And and it's crazy ca it's it's crazy how it changed like that, right? 'Cause you you would think
smoo: I think it started with Katrina. It started with Katrina.
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, okay. That's a good one. That's a good one.
smoo: Yeah, cause Katrina, Katrina took away a lot of those, those those shipbuilding, shipbuilding jobs and shit like that. everything closed. You wal you you drive across that bridge, nigga, you gonna see Halter Marine, you're gonna see
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: International Paper. All that shit is gone. it's it's it's land.
Big Darrell: Bang.
smoo: You know what I'm saying? And you gotta think like nigga, that was some that was some good ass money. You know, that shit gone.
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Facts. And then and
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. Yeah.
Big Darrell: and then and then with like with the technology and the newer times, people like I I can just stay in ghoulah, right? I can go to shipyard, stay in gula, or I can go stay in Goshe, Ocean Springs, Biloxi, you know what I'm saying? So that that's really what happened. And then I get I guess how the city is constructed with the mare and the water system, all that. It's just like it's really no incentive, like you said.
smoo: No incentive. That's the best way to say it. And then even to go on top of that, I mean shit, my nigga, you don't even got a store. You don't have a store to your name. You
Big Darrell: X.
smoo: know what I'm saying? All you have is legacy. All you have is legacy. And that that legacy stretch along, Paul. You know what I'm saying? But legacy
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, for sure, for sure, without a doubt.
smoo: definitely does it's definitely legacy there. Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, shout out Miles Point, man, for real. Shout out Miles Point, man.
Eric: For sure, shout out Malls Point.
Big Darrell: Yes, sir. Shut out miles.
smoo: Yeah, man. Sh shout out the whole coast, man.
Eric: Man, shout out the whole coast with Malls Point.
Wills On The Tank: Hush up, hush up.
smoo: Shout out the whole coast. It was it was it was definitely a moment to remember for real.
Wills On The Tank: Man, I hate to have missed it, yeah.
smoo: Yes indeed, man. And with a with all this, we had some we had some great college football. You know what I'm saying? I think five out of top ten teams went down. Alabama,
Big Darrell: Shit.
smoo: Georgia, Indiana.
3 god: Yeah, both out of the top five went down, right?
Big Darrell: Yes. No the game
Eric: Notre Dame.
smoo: I just said that. Just said that. Five out of
Big Darrell: loss. Miami
3 god: You say five out of top ten.
Big Darrell: ass almost lost. They went to double over to.
smoo: Yeah. Would you
3 god: He said five out of the top ten. I I thought I thought four out of I was just saying four out of the top five went down, I thought two, didn't
Big Darrell: Yeah.
3 god: it? Yeah.
smoo: Well yeah, well shit. Five out of the top ten. Alabama won in the top. Yeah.
3 god: Well yeah, that's the all right, yeah. Fix.
smoo: Alabama lost, Georgia, Notre Dame, Indiana,
Big Darrell: Missouri loss, yeah.
smoo: Missouri lost, Florida, Florida won. I mean, it's shit it's shit crazy. It's shit crazy.
Big Darrell: One Texas loss. That's what I was trying to tell you the other week. I'm like, I
smoo: no.
Big Darrell: think every team in the SC gonna have at least one or two losses. Cause it's like when you got teams. Facts, I believe you too. And old men
smoo: Yeah, not even one. Not even one. Two. You gotta have two. You gotta have two.
Big Darrell: still gotta play Texas.
smoo: Somebody go somebody gotta have two losses. Somebody gonna have three losses. My partner was telling
Big Darrell: Facts. Facts and I
smoo: me the other day, he was like, man, it was like, man, I don't see no three team, a three-loss team getting the playoffs. I was like, nigga, how not? The SEC
Eric: Yeah. Hey,
Big Darrell: I believe so.
Eric: did y'all see that they expanded the playoffs to a 24 team system?
Big Darrell: When when when ne next year or this year, Bill? Okay. I I think
Eric: Next year, next year, yeah, next year. That's gonna be crazy.
smoo: Yeah, mate.
3 god: so.
Big Darrell: that's great because well, it'll make it longer but it's gonna shorten the season up, right?
smoo: I don't know really the details.
Eric: I'm not 100 % sure.
smoo: but it ain't like
Big Darrell: But I I think it's I think it's good 'cause it's it's just
smoo: it ain't really like set in stone yet. It's like a you know, like a idea, but it ain't really set in
Eric: Okay.
smoo: stone yet, like paperwork. Nah, I don't think it's set yet.
3 god: I thought it is sick. I think it said, Smooth.
smoo: shit, it might be. I don't I don't know.
Eric: Are they
Big Darrell: But if
3 god: I
Eric: talking about it?
Big Darrell: it is, I
3 god: believe you say.
Big Darrell: think it's a good idea because this right here, right? you got teams like like Miami, they ain't hardly playing no fucking body, right? Notre Dame
smoo: Uh-huh.
Big Darrell: ain't really playing nobody. Then you got teams like Georgia that gotta play Ole Miss, Texas, Alabama. LSU, it's like how the fuck do you expect me to go undefeated or one loss when I gotta play all this tough competition? And you got other teams and like like say for instance, Oregon, they ain't playing nobody and they losing. You get what I'm saying? So imagine if they had to play where Georgia gotta play or where Alabama gotta play. You it's
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: it's like is the competition of the SEC is crazy. It's just crazy.
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Like In itself, it should be
Eric: you
Big Darrell: the league to me is the NCAA. Is is the SEC. It's is like
Eric: Yeah, it's a.
Big Darrell: other teams like like you got Texas Tech, right? They undefeated, but they ain't really playing nobody. They
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: ain't playing nobody.
smoo: I think I feel I feel what you saying. I agree with what you saying, but at the end of the day, I think your path is your path. You know what I'm saying? So it like regard how you get there, how you get there is just how you get there. And like when you talk about these teams that 'cause basically what you doing to with the twenty four the twenty four team playoff, you taking away how important the games are. So yeah
3 god: The regular season games.
smoo: Yeah, so you say you saying what you saying is true, but you really you really taking away how important that Georgia and Alabama Alabama game is or that Alabama and Tennessee game was. You know what I'm saying? And and like it's
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: just you allowing teams to be like, Well, okay, well this game ain't that important. We'll instead of us going ten and two, we'll go eight and four, but we still know, hey, you know, what's the chance of us us not making the playoff? Like a team like Alabama you'll make to just play off just off a name, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean I don't really I don't really I don't really care
3 god: This is is is
smoo: for the twenty four teams. You know, I think twelve was enough. And, you know, cause it was already a lot of controversy with twelve, and then you're gonna get the twenty four, and then it's still gonna be controversy at the twenty four and twenty six. You know, it's gonna
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: be somebody that wasn't supposed to lose that many games, but did lose that many games, and they like, Hey, you gonna leave us out? It's like it's
Big Darrell: Thanks.
smoo: Yeah. Well at what point do we stop? At what point do we stop?
Eric: That big one get the 48.
Big Darrell: I think twelve is good. I but I think w how this year turned out, I think I don't know about twenty four, maybe sixteen, but twenty four is crazy.
Eric: You have to expand it. Yeah. You have to expand it. I don't know how much, I think
Big Darrell: You got to though.
Eric: 24 is crazy like you said Darryl, but you got to expand it. That's because the SEC, the exception is the SEC. That's not a normal conference.
smoo: I don't think that's the exception though is the SEC the SEC
3 god: I don't think that's not no more.
smoo: is still gonna have the most amount of teams in the playoffs. they're gonna probably have seven or eight teams in the playoffs. So basically what you're saying is they need sixteen teams in the playoffs.
Big Darrell: Well well, no, no, no, no. I
Eric: Yeah, I think it.
Big Darrell: I get what you're saying, Smooth. But no, I think what we saying is okay, so it allowed teams that went undefeated. if Texas Tech go undefeated, then they can be in there. You know what I mean? like teams
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: like that.
smoo: That's what I'm saying though, but that's they deserve that though. They deserve that. If you go undefeated,
Big Darrell: I don't think so, 'cause they competition ain't it too.
smoo: if you go undefeated, like let's say the year that Alabama went and like I think SMU got in, like SMU deserve that.
Eric: Yeah, but see, see when it's expanded, gives it makes the room for that. It's like, okay, yes, but these people are in the hardest conference. So yeah, they do maybe have three losses, but this team SMU undefeated, can't go, you know what mean? They can't go unacknowledged at all. So we gonna make room for that and put those three lost SEC teams because of difficulty and scheduling and we gonna include these SMU guys and make let them ball out. See what happens.
smoo: But that's but that but that's what I'm saying. I think that's like it's Pandora's box because Dean, you can be like, well, South Carolina, they lost to Alabama, they lost to Georgia, they lost to Texas, they lost to Thunder. that it's
Eric: Yeah, yeah.
smoo: like it's like it's just it just opens up. It opens up a lot. It opens up a lot.
Eric: Yeah, I get it.
3 god: It ain't it bro, it's so many it's it's to me it's just so many colleges anyway. Ain't nobody gonna be happy. Like Smooth saying, it's it's it's
Big Darrell: Thanks.
3 god: it's at the end of the day, it d I mean let's let's be sh straight up though. Let's let's let's just be serious. At the end of the day, the right teams is gonna be the this ain't basketball. You ain't about to see no Lord Chicago beat no no no no Kentucky of that.
smoo: Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Now that's that's that that's not true. That's definitely not true, Dean.
3 god: Lloyd Chicago beaten, Alabama.
smoo: That's not true yet. That that has happened in the playoffs. Old Miss Ole Miss went supposed to beat Georgia and they fuck around and slaughter them niggas.
3 god: No, I said no, I said Loyal Chicago. I'm talking about somebody of that caliber. You you're not gonna see no fucking be no Alabama.
Big Darrell: Like James Madison ain't gonna be Alabama.
3 god: That's what I'm saying.
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: I'm old Miss is a capable squad.
smoo: So what is so so what do we what do we consider Michigan beating central Michigan almost beating Michigan and all those upsets that we see in the regular season?
3 god: That's regular season. I'm talking about playoffs. I'm talking about playoff when it comes playoffs.
Eric: Yeah, I also.
smoo: But these but those are the top teams though.
3 god: No, I'm saying those are game, regular season games. I'm not saying that they don't take them serious. I'm just saying that's regular season games. I don't imagine seeing those win it all day on the line that happened.
Big Darrell: I agree with that.
3 god: Cause those those those games, those people coming in like, okay, these stat games. Now ain't no ain't no ca hold on. I don't I don't I'm not I'm
Big Darrell: Twin ain't gonna be no Alabama.
smoo: Okay, okay, all right. I see what you're saying.
3 god: not saying that I'm not saying hold on, let me just finish. I'm not saying it can't happen because anything can happen. I'm just saying I don't believe that it will the likelihood that a lawyer Chicago going to a sweet sixteen, we seeing that out of in football. I just don't believe that.
smoo: But this is what I'm saying. I agree, I agree with you, like you talking about James Madison. But what about but what about
3 god: a Jackson State beat a Jackson State beating a goddamn
smoo: but what about the the the seven and five South Carolina team?
Big Darrell: Down reserve, they got too many losses.
smoo: Yeah. We don't know how
Big Darrell: you saying you saying James Madison can beat a seven to five Carolina team.
smoo: No, well that too, but I'm saying, what about that that SEC team that Bill talking about? What about that SEC team that lost to all these great teams that get in the playoff and then play that Georgia or play that or play that Ohio State team? Yeah, that's not the Lower Mary, but they still at the bottom. They still at the bottom of the SEC, but they found a way to get in.
3 god: No, I I I I know you hear me. I I don't think you like tr I I'm not saying that that can't happen. I'm saying the lik I'm comparing the likelihood of a lower Chicago, the chances of a lower Chicago getting to the sweet six six clean is a greater chances of a damn Jackson State being to Alabama. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. I'm just I just feel like
smoo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay, all right.
3 god: at the end of the day the day gonna end with the whoever was supposed to win was gonna win. So I I say if you go twenty four or forty eight teams, it end up gonna be in the that's all I'm saying, so I don't think it's no point.
smoo: Right, right, right, right.
3 god: That's all I'm saying. That can happen, but I'd be damned if
smoo: but yeah, nah, it's it's a it's a whole it's a whole many other factors, like y you talking about niggas gotta stay h that's the biggest thing to me. dog, y'all y'all want niggas to stay healthy for how many games is that?
3 god: Yeah, that's a lot though. That's why I thought they w that's why I thought it was
Big Darrell: My seventeen?
smoo: That's that's 12 games and who get buys? Who get buys?
Eric: That's crazy. Yeah, it's it.
3 god: You might well. So
smoo: How
Big Darrell: And
smoo: many let
Big Darrell: then it
smoo: me ask y'all this, let me ask y'all this. How many NF how many NFL teams are in the playoffs?
3 god: Save it.
smoo: Total?
Big Darrell: Is only seventeens in the pla well no no. Can't come what about wild companies though?
3 god: No, seven per per division. per per conference.
smoo: Okay, so four so fourteen's fourteen teams. Fourteen teams. That's crazy.
3 god: Per per conference, yeah. It used to be six.
smoo: Yeah, used to be C I don't see why the fuck they would go if the NFL at fourteen, how the fuck y'all niggas going?
3 god: they only got thirty two
Big Darrell: Well I guess gotta
3 god: teams though.
Big Darrell: be a little bit more lenient than NFL.
3 god: they only got what, thirty two, thirty to thirty two teams though.
smoo: Yes, man. Yeah. I don't I
3 god: But see, but but but to be honest with that though,
Big Darrell: But C C
3 god: but let so let me finish this. It to smooth point of nobody ever's gonna be happy, the NFL, that's one reason they changed that. Well, of course, money too. But that's why they change some people upset because people like Houston Texans barely won any game. Well they I don't know how many games they won last year, but sometimes you can go in the like all right for instance now. Anybody in the NLC is up for grabs and their whole division stinks.
smoo: NFC NFC South. Yeah, NFC South. Yeah.
3 god: And so they like, man, if I was in the NFC East, I'd be in the in the playoffs. But
smoo: Yeah.
3 god: you ain't in the playoffs. So it's ain't nobody gonna be happy, bro. It is what it is. So it's just like, hey bro, get your shit together. It is what it is.
Big Darrell: That's right. That's true. But
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: C C I I think I think that twenty fourteen, it allows teams like Florida to make it to the playoffs. Teams like like shit, Auburn to make it to the playoffs.
smoo: I mean at the end of the day the team that's gonna benefit the most is the SEC at the end of the day still. Whether it's twelve
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: teams, whether it's sixteen teams, whether it's twenty four teams, it's gonna it's gonna benefit I don't
3 god: That's that's why I I'm saying. But I'm with Schmoo far as the health, 'cause if you playin' all these damn games, shit.
smoo: see I don't see how they I don't see how they
Big Darrell: That's a lot for football.
smoo: I don't see how they like are we gonna play eight, you know, regular season games? I don't know, but
Big Darrell: Yeah, yeah, they're gonna make the regular season shorter, probably.
Eric: Got to.
smoo: Yeah, but yeah,
3 god: But it it I I like the I guess the one reason it is for cause it's built a suite like you said the regular season ain't gonna be as important for some. But then again, it do kinda it it takes away the football, you know, the what's the word for it when you don't know what's gonna happen? What's the word? Like the like you don't
Eric: Spontaneity.
3 god: Damn, sponsor spontaneity. Spon.
Wills On The Tank: Hahaha.
smoo: I've never heard of that one.
Eric: Don't know, I just made it up nigga. Do what you feel. Spontaneity.
Wills On The Tank: The spot spontaneous.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
3 god: It ain't I one thing is spontaneous, but I know I ain't thinking no spontaney.
smoo: Nigga, what country is that?
Eric: Let me see if that's a word.
3 god: Where you from, spot the name of you?
Big Darrell: It's taking way the excitement. I get what you say, huh?
3 god: Fanny! They don't be coming over here and speaking all this point to name it, man.
Wills On The Tank: Hey, that might be a new slang right there.
Eric: That's a word, why y'all bullshitting? I knew it
Wills On The Tank: That's a nip.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: I gotta be from Spontanea.
3 god: Fun the name.
Eric: was a real word.
3 god: Who no, but what they call it w you you we be saying it all the time, Smooth. when we don't know a shit, you know expectation, where you like
Big Darrell: Not expectation. I know what you're saying. It it take out the
Eric: Unpredictability,
3 god: it's unpredictability, but I forgot the w the word.
Big Darrell: But it takes out it's it's like it's like a setting up for excitement or some shit. when when you be surprised for for something or like
3 god: Yeah, you're you're the I don't know the word. But yeah, it take away that because like a team can lose like say you missing a quarterback or something that game and now if I lose that game I can afford to lose it. Like but back before the the they talking about the twenty fourteen, if you lost that one game and you miss missing somebody like Arts, I mean I'm just saying Arch for
smoo: Yeah, 'cause
Eric: Take the urgency.
smoo: I would I just say for me, prime example, being in Alabama.
Big Darrell: Wh wh which who he garbage?
3 god: Hey, we we'll talk about that later. Let that nigga smooth.
smoo: With me being an Alabama Alabama fan, me being an Alabama fan, so say like we lost two games, right? We lost two in a row. Like this game versus Texas and is like critical. You know what I'm saying? But so it's like,
3 god: Right, right. That's what I'm saying, yeah.
smoo: you know, like if you lose if you got twenty fourteen, it's like nigga, that it it it ain't gonna feel as critical as the, you know, the the game before, you know, that's all I'm saying.
Eric: Yeah, nah, I like
3 god: Right.
Eric: it because it gives all damn near give all ranked teams a chance to the big game. If you top 24, I know what y'all don't, I know y'all don't like it, but you know, if you rank, there's something, that's something. If you ranked out of all these college teams,
Big Darrell: I I agree. And then and and then it gives a team
Eric: go ahead there, my bad bro.
Big Darrell: no, no, I was gonna say, and then it gives a team like LSU. Cause think about this LSU has two losses, right?
smoo: That's what I'm saying. Y'all keep saying it gives it like it's just not about giving opportunities. I think that's the thing.
Big Darrell: No, it should though because listen, listen. LSU lost to Ole Miss, right? And they lost to Kentucky. And Kentucky is on fight and they lost in double overtime. And they lost to Ole Miss, but Ole Miss knows the coaching. But then hold on, hold on, hold on, Smooth, hold
smoo: I get, man, I get all of that. I get, I get it.
Big Darrell: on, Smooth. But then did this way it comes into play? Because Alabama still has to play LSU. And one of them has to lose. And what if Alabama loses?
smoo: I I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with the
Big Darrell: No, but I'm saying they should still be in the playoffs.
smoo: not not to me. Not to me. Not to me. And I'm an Alabama fan, but I feel like if you if you can your ass whoop, you can your ass whoop and you just shouldn't be
Big Darrell: But but smooth, you can't allow no team like Miami who ain't really playing nobody to get in.
Wills On The Tank: So.
smoo: I told you bro, I'm I'm okay with the path that's being taken. That's if you if you're a college football fan, that's what it's been. So maybe I'm a part of the old rim and the old thinking of things. So maybe that's
Big Darrell: It it has been that for for like smaller teams, but not every team.
smoo: Shit, my nigga, I I'd rather go back to the BCS. I'd go back to the computer picking the the niggas in the championship game. If you ask me, I would rather I'd
Big Darrell: You say you say what the school?
smoo: rather go back to BCS rankings than the playoffs as it is. I don't care about
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: Alabama getting in and they the 12th team and all of that. I don't personally don't care. I'd rather if you tell me hey USC and Texas have been the best teams all year based off of this. I'm cool with that, but I get the new shit, but whether it'd be the BCS rankings, personally.
Big Darrell: I liked the BCS because I thought the BCS was fair, but to me it was all about schedule toughness. nobody has a tougher schedule than LSU. Alabama or Georgia. Nobody in the whole college football. So if they lose two
smoo: I agree with that. I agree with that.
Big Darrell: games, if you lose a game to LSU or you lose a game to Georgia, or you lose the old miss who's been on fire, who got a Heinland Candidate quarterback and a motherfucking fire hot running back, it's like it's like bro, you cannot expect
smoo: I agree, but I I don't know.
Big Darrell: them to be out of the playoffs in Miami Inn or like Notre Dame in. Like Notre Dame lost to BYU. That's crazy. That's crazy. and you for you to be ranked number two, number one, and I don't like that, bro. Like Texas, they they deserve to be out because they lost to shit, they lost to Oklahoma and then they lost to was it Tennessee? Who they played last week?
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: lost to Oklahoma and they lost to Florida this week. Yeah.
Big Darrell: Florida and Florida deserves to be in because they have shown they can beat ass when it comes when it comes down to it. You beat number one, you beat Ole Miss,
Eric: You
Big Darrell: but then you lose to Missouri. It's like they got something special, but they just ain't put it all together. So it's like the SEC is like a bunch of one-off teams and then Auburn beating number one. Who knew who seen that shit in the cards? That's fucking crazy. Auburn beating Georgia is crazy to me. That ain't even
3 god: I
Big Darrell: like that ain't even on the card.
Eric: there.
Big Darrell: That's like what Dink was saying earlier. Auburn beating Georgia is crazy, bro. And then Miami
3 god: But shot, hello. How looks?
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: almost lost to a three team loss Florida State. They went to double overtime. That's like
smoo: but those but but both of those game are rivalries though. Georgia and Alabama is a Georgia and Auburn is a rivalry and Florida State and Miami that's a rivalry game.
Big Darrell: Man, that shit crazy, bro. That's like, but then them used to be games Georgia will win with no sleep. Only time they will will struggle is with Alabama. But now you struggling with Auburn and then nah bro that's crazy to me, bro.
smoo: What you was gonna say, didn't
3 god: Yeah. I was just gonna say, before we got off the subject, I was gonna say shout out to the cousin, man, the Ken folk from Georgia, man, the safety, bro. Ray Shawn Dinkins.
Eric: It's all right.
3 god: Nigga, I don't know if that nigga my cousin or not, but in my last name, Dinkins, it got to be related. I seen that shit, I'm like, damn. I said, look,
Wills On The Tank: Yermit!
Big Darrell: Character.
Eric: Hehehehehe
3 god: that that Ken folk, you know what I'm saying? I called my pops,
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: he said he don't know, but shit, fuck it. We'll
Wills On The Tank: Okay.
3 god: take him.
Eric: We'll take
smoo: How y'all
Eric: it.
smoo: how y'all feel about the Jalen Hurst situation, man?
3 god: Sad news, man. Top top
Eric: It's a blood clot, right?
3 god: five quarterback
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: gone for the season, man.
Eric: Yeah, you you hate to see it. I hope he do what he got to do to get his health straight though. You know, I know, you know, we talk about football and shit, but that's a human being. So I hope that nigga be
Wills On The Tank: from having most right on.
Eric: all right in the long run. But as far as in the season.
Big Darrell: What does that even mean? a superficial blood clot in his calf. What does that mean?
3 god: Nah, it up it upgraded. It's his blood clothing his lungs, though.
Wills On The Tank: only.
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: Yeah. Yeah, so he threw
Eric: Damn.
Big Darrell: How but how how did they find out it's it's in his lung?
Eric: What does that even mean? Hold up, bro. Let me goddamn pull this off.
3 god: Just basic it's a whole
smoo: Well apparently
3 god: timeline of things that happened, from when he went to London or wherever they played at, London or somewhere I don't know where they played. I forgot where they played it. But it's just a whole timeline of stuff that happened and they and they
Eric: Hey, that's crazy, because if you had a blood clot while flying, that's a safety hazard in itself, I think. You can't have blood clots while you in the air.
3 god: Well it's that's what I was saying, it's so many stories. Some people saying that they they realize he they found out when he was there. In in wherever they was at. Some people saying no, they knew before he went. So it's just I don't know.
Big Darrell: Did he have trouble breeding or something?
3 god: I ain't they ain't came
smoo: he played a whole football game.
3 god: out with nothing like that yet, but they just said that's how they it's a whole timeline. Ain't nothing nobody came out w how they found out. Not to my understanding. It's just a timeline of different things that happened from the superficial blood clots to to fast forward to now he he out for the season. Well I think happened he
smoo: Awesome.
Eric: What you.
3 god: probably got a second opinion.
smoo: I seen some people trying to blame that shit on Kobe.
Wills On The Tank: Dang.
Eric: Hmm.
Big Darrell: Would be though. You never know shit. But you don't know you don't know what's going
3 god: I ain't trying to laugh at it because you don't fucking know, but it crazy.
Big Darrell: on out here, man.
smoo: it's just crazy, Jalen Hurts, he looked like a a very healthy guy, and he and he
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, that's crazy,
smoo: twenty eight years old, and seemed to have, everything I could see like him checking every box when it comes to his health. so it's just,
3 god: See, Chris Bot happened to Chris Bosch. he was older, but see he got that's why he
smoo: Yeah, ugly.
3 god: stopped hoping. I'm a I'm
Wills On The Tank: Dude, wait, wasn't I in Bright?
smoo: You heard what I said, didn't you?
3 god: What's like
smoo: Say and ugly
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: You
3 god: mean you do compare it to Chris Bosch and Jay Lurt
Wills On The Tank: Did something like that happen to Bronny though? Like he had like a heart condition or something? Like that's
Big Darrell: Bronny had that too. That's crazy.
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: crazy bro.
3 god: This ain't blood class, it is.
smoo: No, no.
Wills On The Tank: It's just a fact that it happened though.
Big Darrell: No it it's crazy that you somebody so young and supposedly healthy had no heart condition. That's crazy.
Wills On The Tank: top athletes and stuff like that, man, that's wild.
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: And you saying, Jalen Hurst is young, having a blood clot in his lung is crazy.
Eric: Yeah, especially for
Wills On The Tank: and
Eric: an athlete of that caliber too. You're like,
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: their business is their bodies. know what I mean? That's their
Wills On The Tank: Right, right.
Eric: moneymaker. So you know these NFL teams is monitoring that heavily. And I'm like, dang, bro. Right. They should be. They should be is the word.
Wills On The Tank: But it should be.
3 god: That's that's the problem.
Wills On The Tank: There should be. Man, I know there's a movie and everything, but I always think back to that movie, Varsity Blues. I know y'all have seen that movie before where they was basically giving them kids them shots and stuff like that. it was like, dang. Even back then as a child, was thinking like, dang, does that type of stuff really go on? It's like they more concerned about winning. And I'm not saying that's the case, but it do kind of make you think. a little bit and I know that's it's off the subject a little bit but
smoo: I think I think I think sports this this a this a really a tough topic. but sports has this warrior mentality, you know, and
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I can believe that, especially football.
smoo: I can't tell you what's right or wrong. I can't tell you what's
Eric: do.
smoo: right or wrong. I can't, you know, of course people who not playing a sport and people who have retired, they're gonna come with all these soliloquies and, you know, how they they shouldn't have been doing it. But why you in the moment, I can't I can't tell you it wasn't wrong. I can't tell you it wasn't wrong to go to war and put everything on the line. so of course
Eric: For sure, for sure. And the players usually have the choice.
smoo: right, and you know, the of course, you know, that's just like I think Antoine Redoel said some stuff about, you know, concussions like five years five years ago and I he'd been at the leave for ten years. Or even like,
Wills On The Tank: Thank you.
smoo: you know, We hear rappers and our I seen Sciza talk about how she hates talking to the media and how everything
Wills On The Tank: I saw that. I saw that.
smoo: it's like, bro, when you on a come up, you don't like your your brain does not factor
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: in the the aftermath. You know what I'm saying?
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: But it's like, you know, now that you're on the other side, you have a different way of thinking. But I j I
Wills On The Tank: Yeah. you know, even just kind of bringing up SZA, sometimes, man, it's going back to that Catch-22, it's like, when you trying to be great or when you want to come up, you're probably not thinking like that. You know what saying? But then when you make it, you're like, dang, I can only imagine, just to hear how some people talk about, you know, when they finally make it to the other side, it's like they almost kind of regretful and like, dang. It wasn't really worth it, you know what I mean? So it's like... It's almost like they sacrifice some sort of mental peace just to make it to be great. And this may be on the subject, but off the subject at the same time, I think I saw something where, and I think you posted it in the chat, where Shaq was talking to his son. He was asking, like, is this what you really want? I sacrifice a lot,
3 god: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: to be where I'm at. He said, you're gonna miss a lot trying to be great. But then at the same time, I also heard Shaq almost in a regretful place at one time in another interview where he was like, dang, man. It's like he almost like kind of say, I kind of gave up my family, my wife, and it's like he's like, You know what saying? It's like sometimes people have these regretful attitudes at the same time, but we wouldn't.
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: You get it. I'm not to just ramble, but you get what I'm saying. it's like some people get in
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: a place. You could tell that in the privacy of their thoughts, they think to themselves dang, maybe maybe this wasn't what it was cracked up to be in terms of, you know, going after what I wanted. But then it's like. If you hold yourself back, who are you then? you am I making sense? know, that's the, that's the, you know, I kind of feel like I'm rambling a little bit. Yeah. Like, but yeah.
Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Lil Baby kinda, nah, you good, bro.
smoo: Yeah, you making sense, bro. You got it, bro.
Eric: You landed that plane. I think Lil Baby said something similar in the interview with Jay.
smoo: No, hey, hey, we on the same way link.
Eric: Yeah, yeah.
Big Darrell: Well what little baby say quoted quote it from the joke.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, what do you say? What do you say?
smoo: I Bill got it.
Eric: He just mentioned that he didn't think success where he is now, he didn't think it is what it is. He didn't think that he didn't fathom it would be like this for him.
smoo: Thought he would be a superhero.
Eric: Right, right. That's literally what he said. He said, you are not
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: a superhero.
Big Darrell: He thought he he thought he would be a superhero.
3 god: Okay.
Eric: He said that you wake up every day and I put my pants on just like everybody else. And he just thought he would feel different. He thought he would be, I guess have more, maybe more power. I don't know what he kind of meant by
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Eric: superhero, but like he just thought things would be a lot different for him as a human than what he is now. And I was just like, wow.
Big Darrell: Damn, that that's a good way to put it. But hey, but then you think twenty one Savage feel the same way? I think he feels like a superhuman.
Wills On The Tank: but we never really know what these
Eric: as perspective.
Wills On The Tank: guys are thinking on their own,
Big Darrell: It's true.
Wills On The Tank: because it's like, especially with rappers.
smoo: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Nigga, how you bring up twenty one second?
Big Darrell: Because because twenty
Wills On The Tank: Okay.
Big Darrell: one seven I'm I'ma tell you why. I'ma I'm I'm gonna land this plane too, Bill. Look, look, I'm gonna tell you why.
Wills On The Tank: I like that. I'm gonna start using it.
Big Darrell: 21 Savage and Lil Baby, they have very they they they're very common, right? They're they have similarities, right? They both from Atlanta, they both similar ages. They're from the newer era of Atlanta, like 2016,
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: 2017, but I would say 21 Savage, how he wears his success is a little different than how little baby does it. Like little baby, his baby mama, Jada or whatever, he got his kids and whatever. But then if you look at How 21 Savage moves, he moves like a Drake or almost like a Kendrick of Future, in a not music-wise,
Wills On The Tank: mysterious light.
Big Darrell: but but in the in the style of how he moves. He moves
Wills On The Tank: Maybe.
Big Darrell: a mob boss. He he he puts on that persona like I am Slaughter Gang. I am the biggest op or biggest op in In zone six, he almost puts on that persona to the point where he moves like a ghost. And then how he moves, it's almost similar to Jay-Z on a smaller level. Because look at how he got Lotto, right? Lotto is like quote unquote, let's say Nicki Minaj or Beyonce. Almost like the the way Meek Mill had Nicki Minaj and he fumbled.
Wills On The Tank: I get it. Yeah.
Big Darrell: 21 Savage didn't fumble. And then 21 Savage, he owns all his masters, he owns all his music, but he but he still feels like he's just
3 god: Okay.
Big Darrell: untouchable, if that makes sense. La Baby acts like he is touchable. Like he goes to the hood, he shows, he has his friends, he's in like, you know, quote unquote, they was saying he was gonna be in a Rico or whatever. He's around Young Thug,
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: and but 21 Savage is like, I ain't round none of y'all niggas, but I'm still him.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: You gotta dink, you gotta dink.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: You gotta dink.
3 god: No, I w I'm I I was just I I'm not I'm not I mean was just listening 'cause I was just I'm I mean
smoo: No nigga, you see some on your face. Say what you gotta say.
3 god: got nothing crazy. I was I was I was just trying to relate everything back to the Jalen Hurts, just on his stuff. I just I mean listening to Daryl, I mean I think you I think you I know you're gonna say it's it seems like we always disagreeing, but I'm not disagreeing. I think you
Wills On The Tank: Thank you.
Big Darrell: Well no say, say
3 god: just I I don't think there's a time and place to compare how somebody feels on something. You see what I'm saying? 'Cause like you combated that with With built saying well, how you think 2 Yeah,
smoo: You've compared it there with optics. You compare it there with optics.
3 god: optics and then how like how somebody may feel on this. That's just like for instance, I give you back to the sports thing. And to tie into what Smooth was saying. So I'm gonna like say what I said about you, 'cause you was you compared what little baby said to what you think about how little S how Twenty One Savage handled his. But then we were talking about health and went to somebody break through Just because they the sports. A lot of people go in at Michael Parsons right now, cause, he kinda got the same injury Pat Mahomes had. And those two people handle two different things two different ways. So, cause little baby said that, hey, bro, you know, like, cause I ain't gonna lie to you. It'd be so crazy and before I go off my mouth. talking about little baby. It be so crazy how much y'all and this not to talk up Rod Wave, how people talk about Rod Wade. he always in his feelings. He be saying the same shit that these niggas don't rap about. He he he Hold on T. Hold on, T Wheels. Bro,
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And see, and see, and see, that, that, that goes bad, my bad, my bad, my bad, bro, my bad.
Big Darrell: That's a that that's a good way to point.
smoo: Let him finish, let him finish let him let him finish, let him finish.
3 god: I'm and I'm telling y'all that and I know we were talking about Rod Wade last week about this album cause that album don't give me that what he been talking about. But so
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: T Rob Wade been saying the same shit that Lil Baby just said, but he said
Wills On The Tank: Right.
3 god: it in songs. he always say, damn, it's too late for me to find love again because he's too famous. He he alwa he was talking about even in the song, he was talking about was it the lamb or the rose truck? Yeah, he was like That was his, but he don't even want that bit no more. He thought it he thought he wanted that bit, but he felt like
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm
3 god: that shit. I don't even like the attention. damn, I got this bitch thinking that I was there, but
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: see, I don't really like the attention of this bitch. So I I just think so going back to hers and or anybody, I think you can get the feeling of two different things. Just like Ace. That nigga shit, nigga, I want to move weight, but I ain't I'm on the hush of it. Rico like shit, nigga. Shit, we got the benches. So I I I d I I think
Big Darrell: That's true, that's true.
3 god: two people handle the same way, cause shit, let's say this podcast jump. See, all I know we might T Wheels might end up being a nigga that like being in the spotlight. No, if it jumped,
Eric: If jump nigga, we jumpin'. The fuck is on my if we jumpin' nigga?
3 god: I'm saying like jump when it jumped. When well when it jumped, right.
Wills On The Tank: Nah,
Eric: There ain't no goal, nigga, we not now. What the fuck y'all talking about? Nigga, what the fuck? If we don't jump, if we, nigga, we popping now.
3 god: Well well while well while well while this bitch jumping, T w let's say T Wheels might end up being the T Wheels, we would think that not don't even care for being the famous one. He might want shit shit. I'm feeling this shit. And but the other might be like damn like shit, damn, no facts. You might start to like Hell yeah, nigga, I'm the I'm
Wills On The Tank: Tied it to a monster. Right, right, right, right. Nah, I get it, I get it, yeah.
3 god: the I'm the I'm the I'm the cool clutch clan or whatever
Big Darrell: Now that that that's a good way to put it though.
3 god: you be saying.
Wills On The Tank: And you see that, but that's what I was talking
Big Darrell: So
Wills On The Tank: about earlier. You don't know what they're thinking in the privacy of their own thoughts, especially
3 god: Thanks.
Big Darrell: Right.
Wills On The Tank: rappers. Rappers, let you tell it, let them tell it. They don't
smoo: Thank
Wills On The Tank: fall in love. You know what I'm saying? They not sweet on a woman. It's just all about our pimp heart and know, whatever. like, these people are human beings just everybody else. They just put on a facade. I'm gonna say rappers for the most part.
Big Darrell: For size, yep, son.
Wills On The Tank: They do that rappers are known to do that I remember when I first heard Pipsy had a wife I was like really like and they had to I had to like you you see what I'm saying exactly And I'm
Big Darrell: He came on for the longest too. For the longest.
3 god: yeah, it's my turn.
Wills On The Tank: like you it's like we get these we get this this Superman feel or this Superman thoughts of these people and they have Wife they have children to have feelings just like everybody else. You know what I'm saying? It's like Just because Rod Wave, it's so bad because somebody like Rod Wave gets a whole bunch of flack and they'll say, he's emotional or he's always depressed. And these guys probably be going through the same exact stuff that he's going through, but
Eric: Hmm.
Wills On The Tank: they just don't talk about it or vocalize it. So, so, know.
3 god: Facts, facts, facts. So so
Big Darrell: I I I like how I like how y'all said that 'cause two people can be I I guess handle handle handle handle the same things
3 god: Yeah.
Big Darrell: differently.
3 god: Yeah, thanks.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: Cause even Drake say, like you say, we in the same room but we got different views. But speaking of rappers,
Wills On The Tank: Right.
3 god: guys, speaking of rappers, you know, we got 50 Cent and Jay-Z, I'm gonna say beef, but you know, 50 Cit had sat down and he had a few words and you know, he was questioning whether Jay-Z had a clear error or not. So what do you guys think about what fifty Cit said about Jay-Z? Is do you think it's longevity? over peak dominance. where would y'all go from there? Let me hear from you, T Wheel.
Wills On The Tank: Well, I actually thought we've talked about this before, in this podcast. In this podcast, we've talked about this. And it's like,
Big Darrell: Yep. We should have went viral for that too.
3 god: But just
Wills On The Tank: we talked about before that Jay-Z was like, it's like he's been in that steady bubble, but he never had that major dominance. And so I don't think necessarily, 50 comes off as a hater, but I don't think he. I think he's just telling the truth though at the end of the day. And to the fact he don't like Jay-Z, clearly, you know what mean? But he did, he did.
Big Darrell: Online, so then.
Eric: But see, he gave him his props though in the interview. said, that's why I don't think it's hate. And I think 50 Cent, when it comes to stuff like that, I think he's very objective. Go ahead.
Wills On The Tank: Let me say this though. Let me just say this though. I think it's still more impressive as to what Jay-Z has pulled off simply because you can have a big dominant moment, but then those same people, a lot of those people that have big dominant moments, they burn out or they get killed or they time just fade away. I think it's an art to, first of all, not get killed. And then just stay, stay publicly relevant, but then drop music that's still culturally relevant, relevant. And then, to say that, and I heard these arguments where they say mostly up North people
3 god: Okay.
Wills On The Tank: want to be like Jay-Z. I think that's kind of somewhat false because I think for the most part outside of music. people look up to Jigga because he's like, not only he made the transition from a street hustler to like a legitimate businessman, and he made it like making looking like a legitimate businessman. He made that like look cool. You know what I mean? like,
Big Darrell: It's business is what people look up to, yeah.
3 god: Bravo.
Wills On The Tank: and, and it's the transition from maturity, like, like Jay Z, you can see, he always kind of had a certain level of maturity to him, to me, but it's like, for instance, I'm gonna use my boy, Pop. It's kind of hard, or you kind of seen as like childish, if you in your 40s and you still thugging, like, you get what I'm saying? like, type of love apocalypse going, the way he was crusading. But somebody like Jay-Z, it's like, he matured, he started wearing button-ups, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I'm on my grown man stuff now. You get what I'm saying?
3 god: Okay. Hey, so so all right, so what what you think, Smooth, far as over the Jay-Z fifty cent kind of questioning Jay-Z's, you know, career as far as being the top or not the top. Hey, I'm handling that shit, ain't it smooth? Yeah, man.
smoo: yeah. I mean I personally feel like I personally feel like it's a lot of truth to what fifty Cent is saying. I mean it was like every year. I think it was like every year for like ten, eleven years straight, you know, where you could you could think about, you know, whether it was whether it was DMX, whether it was whether it was Nelly, whether it was T I, whether it was Drake, whether it was Lil Wayne, you know, whether it was Kendrick. gz you know like
Wills On The Tank: Going back in the day, Tupac, Biggie, yeah.
smoo: like it's always been somebody f in front of jay z but i think the only person that out lasted jay z is drake you know so it's like yeah not musically not musically it's not the not not debatable
Wills On The Tank: And that's debatable because only because I'm just I'm just saying only because Drake hasn't had the same start time as Jim has been doing it since lately, like 90s. You know what I'm saying?
smoo: Musically nah bro musically it's not debatable. You you talk about cultural
3 god: No, is that to me,
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: re relevance, maybe I don't even think that's debatable. But I I don't even
Wills On The Tank: That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about relevance here.
smoo: think I don't even think I don't even think he's that e that's even close.
Wills On The Tank: Dang, I wish 2 was here to talk about this.
smoo: But but at the same time, shit, I mean shit, fifty cent, I mean, goddamn like that's that's to I mean, that's the peak. I think that's the peak of being the greatest or the best in a three to five year period. So I you if you ask me, I y'all y'all saying you would take the Jay-Z route, but goddamn, I gave niggas the best album ever on my first, not even not necessarily my first try, but my first try to the masses, I gave niggas the best shit ever.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: And I created I created my own world off of that, and I'm still living off of that. I don't know.
Wills On The Tank: Right, right, But,
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: That
Wills On The Tank: but, did, did y'all think-
3 god: What you what you think? Hold on hold
Big Darrell: for me for
3 god: on T wee.
Big Darrell: me.
3 god: Hold on, T wee hold on. What'd you think, Darren?
Big Darrell: To me, to me, what you just said, Smooth, that that was that that that reminds me so much of my post that I posted in the chat, right? So what do we consider? I guess what was it? I I say what do we see the greatest of all time, right? Do
Wills On The Tank: Right.
Big Darrell: we consider one album and being done, you did it perfect, and and is flawless, is that considered greatest of all time? Like Lauren Hill, right?
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: you you can say under 3,000 with the love below. Or is
Eric: Man.
Big Darrell: it do we consider the greatest of all time or are you able to replicate it multiple times? Like when you say Jay-Z, 50 Cent say Jay-Z never ran rap. I disagree with that, right? 50 Cent was the hottest on the planet for one year, two years, three years span, right? But when you come to it, right? So I and I'm and I'm basing this off of complex, right? So complex has ranked Jay-Z Best rapper alive, three times, right? So if we go back to starting with 1999, right? And that's when you got the Hard Not Life on Volume 2. and then you got the volume three, Life and Times of Sean Carter. That's 1999, right? In 1999, wasn't nobody bigger than Jay-Z. Like we can't even think of nobody in 1999. and then they give him notables though. that honorable nota notable honorable mentions is Eminem DMX Nas, right? But
Eric: .
Big Darrell: that that wasn't their year. That year 99 was Jay-Z, right? Then 2000, you got MM. 2001, we back with Jay-Z. And then you got The Dynasty, Rock, Rock, Rock La Rockla Familia, the blueprint. You feel me? Like, so that in 2000.
Wills On The Tank: Clean apple.
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: I don't nah, but I don't think that I don't think that's fair though, because yeah, those guys might not have dropped the album, but they was he was still in the middle of their run. So
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: Right.
smoo: nigga, anytime hold on
Big Darrell: Cinemax.
smoo: though, but anytime you mention Eminem, brother, Jay Z was
Wills On The Tank: It's over.
Big Darrell: But but but but no no didn't drop that year though. It
smoo: Jay Z was not in front of him. Not not ever. I but that's that's that's my point. That's my point. You talking about you're talking about an album versus an album.
3 god: Exactly.
smoo: But what I'm saying is If if if Eminem is in that little time period, that that Jay Z he ain't he ain't running that.
Big Darrell: No, that that don't count. That don't count, Smooth, because look, it's just like the in the NFL and it's just like the NBA. You gotta have an MVP every year.
3 god: No, no, no, no.
Big Darrell: It don't matter if you you ran you was good twenty two thousand two thousand and one two thousand and three two thousand and two but were you better than this person on this particular year? And so that's how I base it. when they say he say Jay-Z ain't have an error, but Jay-Z did have times where he was the number one. And and complex is rating those like two thousand.
smoo: But I'm but I'm saying though, it's like rap, you can run from niggas though. Like you can run. Like you can see that you can see that nigga. You can see that nigga
Big Darrell: Yeah, but but that that's the same thing with MF MBA.
Wills On The Tank: That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true.
smoo: you can see that nigga run. Like, yeah, let me go ahead and I'ma come out right. I'm not I'm not saying that. I'm not
Big Darrell: But but but who who had Jay Z ran from? he he went straight head up head with Nas.
smoo: no, I'm not saying he ran from nigga. I'm definitely not saying that. Yeah, I'm not saying that, but I just feel like nigga, anytime
Wills On The Tank: not battle wise. Yeah. You can be strategic in how you drop, but I will
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: give Jaycee this. I still think it's something to be said just to be able to do it for that long because again, so many people, like 50 Cent was hot, but.
Eric: You
Big Darrell: But he was only high for two thousand and three.
Wills On The Tank: See, that's what I'm saying. hold on, on, hold on. Let me, let me, let me, let me reset. Hold on,
3 god: Yeah, we're true.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: hold on. Let me fix that. Let me fix that. Not just hype
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: for just 2003, but it's like, to me, it's something to be said where, yeah, he may have not had that one dominant era, but it's like, some people can't even do what Jay-Z has done. Like, just to have longevity, that is hard. Like, you get what I'm saying? Like, that has to count for something.
Big Darrell: But it it's the longevity. It's the long. But hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. It's the longevity.
smoo: hello, what the what hold on William, what you mean they gotta count with something? This nigga's the the the best ever.
3 god: What would you
Wills On The Tank: No, he- he- he- he-
Big Darrell: It's the longevity. But it's also it's also like this, right? When 50 cents say he had an L, right? He only had 2003, right? Because guess who had 2004? TI. Guess who had 2005? Jeezy. You get what I'm saying? So each of these years, but In 1999, Jay-Z, that was his year. 2001, that was Jay-Z year. And he had another year. Jay-Z other year was, I wanna say, 2009, I wanna say?
Wills On The Tank: Even when this is also something. Let me just say this one thing. Let me just say this one thing.
Big Darrell: Two about the nine. Two about the nine where he had the blue three.
3 god: We got hey, we got we gotta get BIP in. We gotta get BIP in. We gotta get BIP in.
Big Darrell: We gonna run this town tonight, Delta Auto Tool.
3 god: BIP didn't get a take.
Wills On The Tank: My bad.
Eric: I be personally I love what I agree with the take also that 50 was saying I think If you're asking me who would I rather be I? Think I'd rather be 50 Because I
smoo: Mm, I wasn't expecting you to say that.
Eric: like 50 because like this nigga the Bible was written once You know what I mean you drop some you
Wills On The Tank: Mmm.
Eric: drop some legendary shit and get out of the way I think that would be the kind of thing I would like to do. You know what mean? I see myself living like that. like that's, I don't have to, if it's done right, I ain't gotta keep doing it. You know what I mean? Like no disrespect to Jay, cause Jay got a lot of stuff to stay and he been putting it out. you hear the growth in his music. He's one of only people who can articulate his growth in music and still make it relevant. You know what mean? That's dope.
Wills On The Tank: Ride, ride, ride.
Eric: But if you're asking me, I would rather be 50 Cent. I love the way he dropped it, get rid of the doctrine and got out of the way. And then...
Wills On The Tank: But this is the thing. My bad, my bad.
Eric: And then he ain't really get out the way because he been putting other people on in the game. Of course he had G-Unit and then 50 Cent just went to something that he's obviously super interested in and just kind of just doing that. And he's like legendary in that too. So give me 50 career. But I agree with everything he said. I like to take, I love how he gave J's props. But still it's like just truthful. It's like, yo, this is what it is to me.
Big Darrell: I still don't think I still
Wills On The Tank: Well, let me tell this.
Big Darrell: don't think nobody was hotter than Jay Z in ninety nine, two thousand and one and two thousand and nine. When that nigga was
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: dropping, okay, you gotta give people their errors. You have to name MVPs
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: every year, right? Rap is a sport, right? So if we go back in those times, in those time periods, and look who dropped, look who was hot, look who albums came out, that's cool. you
Wills On The Tank: What?
Big Darrell: say, you could run, you could drop this and do that. That's cool. But he did that and he ran that when nobody hotter than them. When the blueprint one
Wills On The Tank: the
Big Darrell: came out, when the blueprint three came out, or just like when Wayne dropped call the one, call the two, call. the three niggas niggas went in in that era 2007 was Wayne era
Eric: But see, look, look,
Wills On The Tank: Bye.
smoo: Gotta move on too, man.
Eric: think 50 Cent pointed out a really cool thing about
3 god: I'm
Eric: Jay-Z. Jay-Z is very cunning in how he will play the background, go president, pull the strings, and then jump back in time when it's relevant. And I think, you know, Jay-Z also, he's great rapper. I think Jay-Z tying himself with Beyonce also helps him. think Jay-Z,
3 god: Course.
Eric: he's just a really strategic guy. And it's it's
smoo: That's crazy, man.
Eric: a well-rounded, it's a real rounded package that Jay-Z comes with. He can't do it.
Wills On The Tank: Can't everybody do that? And can't everybody do it?
Big Darrell: I agree, but but I still think I still think
3 god: Let me let me let me let me
Big Darrell: every let me just finish this point and I'll let you go. I still think when when you say running, I think every artist does that, right? J. Cole ain't gonna drop when Kendrick dropped. Drake ain't gonna drop when Kendrick dropped. Kendrick not gonna drop when Drake dropped. J. Cole gonna drop when Kendrick Drake dropped or dropped when Kendrick dropped. That's how rap is facilitated. And that's how the labels make
Eric: you
Big Darrell: sure it's facilitated. Just like Drake ain't gonna drop when Taylor Swift dropped or when Adele drops. That's just how music is facilitated. But I still think Jay-Z had three years in hip hop where he s strictly ran hip hop and no other rapper was on top of of those years.
3 god: Let me let I disagree with you on one thing I do agree with you is the VP things, but the the thing I disagree with you about is I think you've given Jay Z more than one VP is totally wrong. I think his home his hottest yeah. I mean, like you say, I mean, you know, we was all Christian family, so but me knowing my the as much as I do know, I remember Jay Z really being the hottest probably one.
Big Darrell: Yep. And I I bring bring I agree with that. I agree with you.
Wills On The Tank: Blueprint you talking about blueprint
3 god: Proli. Yeah. Hold on, hold on. Let me finish. Let me finish. Let me finish.
smoo: Hey, hey, let let him let him let finish,
3 god: Let me finish.
smoo: man.
3 god: Let us all us talk. So if you gonna go with that, that's probably O one. I don't ever remember Jay-Z always been hot and my take not gonna be long. Jay-Z other than O one, Jay-Z has always been hot due to stuff outside of rap. Not j I mean, well it was rap, but due to stature, like who he was. It wasn't like
Wills On The Tank: Right.
3 god: the hottest rapper. You see what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: True.
3 god: It's kinda like it's kinda
Wills On The Tank: It's meh.
3 god: like now who was the hottest basketball player in RIP to Kobe. But when he died, you want to say, he was the hottest known basketball player because he was he was died. His stature. He was the best basketball player, of course, because he was dead. But if you're talking about the stature of who was the most known basketball player because of something was happening, it was Kobe at the time. But So in anyway, but to go based off your point of MVPs, I think Jay Z probably got one compared to fifty, at least two. O three for sure. What that was get Richard Die Trying. And then I think what O five was what what Massacre, Candy Shop and all that shit.
smoo: The massacre. Yeah, the massacre. Yeah, like
Wills On The Tank: The massacre for sure, for sure.
smoo: we we we
Big Darrell: The the massacre was was it sold a lot but it wasn't critically explained. No, no, but but but hold on, smooth, smooth, the massacre was not Okay, okay, I'll I'm gonna go after you then.
smoo: It don't matter though. It don't matter. It don't matter.
3 god: It don't mat but but but I I'm just saying, I'm say I'm what I'm saying well hold on hold on there. Hold on there. I I I'm not saying
Wills On The Tank: That was a good habit of me.
3 god: we're not we're not saying he gave us another get Richard Die Trying. But if he did give us another hit album and he was
Big Darrell: But but it wasn't better than Trampa Dia Third Motivation 101. That's who ran 2005. Snowman shirts. That's every beautiful style. That's it. That's what I'm saying.
Wills On The Tank: But, hold on, but, but, but they still wanted to, hold on, let me say this, let me say this, in regards to that, hold on, let me say this, let me say
3 god: no. If you talking about jeezy, you have to put Kanye there, bro.
Wills On The Tank: this, in regards to that, when you talk about GZ and TI, who was they looking up to and who was they trying to be like and who was they references in their music? Like, for instance, I remember, and we can pull up this, we probably can pull up this magazine right now, it's a purple background, TI had like a little crown, I wanna say like a thorn crown on his head, and they said,
smoo: Gotta move on too, man.
Wills On The Tank: They
3 god: Yeah, that's the last one right here.
Wills On The Tank: are and they say they're trying to say that he was the Jay Z of the South. People was like that's what I'm talking about. let's just say if he wasn't the guy who had a dominant era, he was still the big homie everybody was looking up to though. or still wanted to be like or still was trying to chase it or somewhat on his coat tail.
Big Darrell: Even Wayne.
3 god: Well hey, so we've gone to the next point. Hey, so so we
Big Darrell: Even Wayne Willy wanna be like Jay Z.
3 god: so we're going to the next point, but I think y'all prove hey, so we're going to the next point, but
Wills On The Tank: Po, Wayne, Bex.
Big Darrell: Wheels.
3 god: I think I think y'all proved my point of the stature. That's what we're trying to say. I don't think y'all y'all comparing stature to who was the actual hottest. Niggas cared to be, you know, 'cause it's his stature. It wasn't who was the hottest. That's what we try to say.
Big Darrell: I agree. I agree with you, Dean. I agree with you a thousand percent. I'm just going off what complex said. I agree Jay-Z had 2001. All them other years is debatable, but I know he had at least one year. I was just going off what complex. They ranked the greatest rapper alive since 1979, since hip-hop started. And they give, they just try to say who ran that year. Basically MVP.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: I side twenty twenty. Highside twenty twenty. But alright, let's give it.
smoo: J. Cole skipping the Grammys. How y'all feel about that? Him and Drake decided not to submit their albums.
Big Darrell: Don't they was scared?
Eric: Cool.
smoo: Okay, scared of what?
Big Darrell: competing against each other because who who would the Grammys get a the award to? Does it go to J. Cole or does it go to Drake? J. Cole's best album, quote unquote, from himself, Drake's best comeback album, quote unquote the masses.
Wills On The Tank: It's kinda, I don't know.
Eric: I
Big Darrell: What do you think is it?
Eric: don't think that's why they did it. I just think they just, they both don't care what the Grammys got to say. I don't think they care. I don't think they care
Big Darrell: Nah, them niggas scared. Them niggas scared, Bill.
Wills On The Tank: But
Eric: what the Grammys got to say. know, Drake been openly, he been openly speaking against the Grammys. J. Cole, know who he, the persona he embodies. Just as like, don't care
Wills On The Tank: and
Eric: about y'all's validation, that type of validation, but especially because he already got Grammys. So.
smoo: But is it pseudo
3 god: So I say
smoo: valid but is it pseud pseudo validation though?
Eric: What does that mean?
smoo: Like
3 god: Fake fake validation what you said it.
Big Darrell: Explain that. Explain that smooth. What that means.
smoo: I just feel like we we carry this idea of like not wanting validation so much, you know what I'm saying? Like it's like, man, I don't need that shit. But it's like, you know, like deep down, you know Kendrick gonna get that shit. You know what I'm saying? So it's just like it's like you know,
Wills On The Tank: I hate tech but yeah, yeah.
Eric: Hmm.
smoo: have forced yourself to be like, man, fuck them niggas. You know what I'm saying? But it's really
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah.
smoo: like you know you're not gonna win. You know, I'm I'm asking the question.
Wills On The Tank: But,
Big Darrell: That's what I I think I think. I agree with Smooth. I think Smooth's right.
Wills On The Tank: at the same time, at the same time.
smoo: I'm asking the question. I'm asking the question. I don't know this to be true, but I'm asking this question.
Wills On The Tank: think that's a good question to pose, but also we have seen Drake do a certain pattern of things like he don't attend, he don't even attend award shows.
Eric: Thanks
Wills On The Tank: And you get what I'm saying? So to me it's not.
smoo: He don't attend award shows, he don't win. He went and went to the Billboard Awards and and picked up 18. He picked up 18 awards.
Big Darrell: And the VMAs and all that. Yep.
Wills On The Tank: Okay, okay, okay, okay. Good point.
smoo: He picked up 18 awards.
Big Darrell: And then but but this what I think here. I think I think this year, because look, Kendra didn't drop this year. But I think J. Cole dropped out because Drake dropped out. But I think if both of them would have been submitted, then who wins? It's like, it's like, does that give will that give validation of Drake is better than Cole or is Cole better than Drake? And then how does the Grammy vote that? Because it's two different, totally different albums.
smoo: I think they I think it's too late. I but I think it's too late. I think it's too late. I think they gotta go with they they I think they gotta go with the message that they've been preaching to themselves at this point. I think
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: they gotta, you know, stick to their guns. Even though even though I
Big Darrell: And but but I but
smoo: think they want us to be in the Grammys, I think they gotta stick to their guns.
Big Darrell: And and I think they only stuck to that. They recently stuck hard on that. Cause the years prior to this, they
smoo: Right, right.
Big Darrell: all submitted, but they I think is is basically what Smooth said is cause Kendrick is now the number one rap Grammy hold.
smoo: It don't matter what they win. It don't matter. you not gonna fuck with this nigga. you hey, you
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, I never thought of it that way. Yeah, I never thought of it that way.
Big Darrell: That's what it is.
smoo: get Drake a Grammy. What the fuck is he gonna do? You get Drake a Grammy, he gonna have what, two that'll be two album Grammys and Kendra got seventeen, eighteen. Man, fuck it. I'm not even
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Yeah, it ain't fun no more.
Wills On The Tank: They still gonna say by far, Kidra gets a better rapper. So it don't matter, yeah.
smoo: My life.
Big Darrell: I can see
Eric: Man, Grammys, no,
Big Darrell: that. That's cool. That's cool. But then, but then is that
Eric: bro. Grammys, I just don't think that's it.
smoo: You say Bill?
Big Darrell: is that smooth to your to your point. Is that the end of rap at the Grammys? Cause 'cause to me, nobody's gonna get that many Grammys unless Jay-Z or Clay West drop, but ain't nobody that shit over with. I don't even see the rap niggas getting Grammys no more.
Eric: The nigga, hey,
smoo: Great point.
Eric: fuck all that. I'm happy why I like getting his just do.
smoo: He he he got nominated he well is he gonna get nominated for a Grammy?
Eric: He got nominated, I think. I mean...
Big Darrell: See? See?
smoo: I thought that w I thought that was just submitting.
Big Darrell: That's good man. But look, that that see, and that's an easy way to win. That's like a killer mic. I think they will reward Wale. Let me see. Let me see.
smoo: Yeah, let me know.
Big Darrell: Let me see who the Grammys.
Eric: But the album, it says...
smoo: I don't I don't know if they got nominated yet, but I know he's they probably they I think they're in submission. They're in submission right now. Yeah, but nah, I
Eric: he didn't. Yeah, you right. He submitted it, bro. My bad. You right.
smoo: think whale is definitely deserving. Wale is definitely deserving. Yeah,
Eric: Man, that album is beautiful. I still play that album.
smoo: Wale is definitely deserving. All right, so off off the the colon Kendrick thing, I don't I think we pretty much on the same same path with with that shit. I seen
Big Darrell: Yep, yep.
smoo: I seen this nigga it was a comedian. And I'm gonna tie this into the John Legend situation. Okay, so John Legend said that he couldn't, he he don't know if he could break in this era. And then I seen this comedian said that today's artists are comedians and social media influencers. He said they have it easy, you know what I'm saying? Because they didn't have to they didn't have to go
Wills On The Tank: I don't like the hit. I that.
smoo: go through the path of what everybody
Wills On The Tank: So.
smoo: else went through. And right, right, okay, so you seen it.
Eric: That nigga said, going to a ditty party.
3 god: You got you got you got the clip up?
Wills On The Tank: Asare, asare, asare, asare, definitely asare.
smoo: Yeah, you seen it. So nah
3 god: You got the clip smooth? You got the clip?
smoo: I don't got the clip. So so so how do y'all feel about which era do you feel is harder? Do you feel like the pre-social media areas area let hold on, let me rephrase that. Do you feel like the pre-social media area?
Wills On The Tank: Era, era.
3 god: Area.
smoo: Do you feel like the pre-social media era?
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: It's harder or do you feel like the social media era is harder?
Wills On The Tank: I actually think they both had
Big Darrell: Easy.
Wills On The Tank: their hardships. And I would say equal. of course, well, let me just say this. The one reason why I think it's so hard now is because it's so saturated. Everybody has access to certain things. And I think even T.I. kind of was making an argument like that in one of these clips. He was basically saying like, you know, He made an analogy like if everybody could just grab a basketball and just go play basketball, walk on the court. But I'm like, can't everybody be professional even though everybody has access to the same stuff? So that's what makes it harder is because it's so saturated. It's so many people trying to trying to like find their way in. It's like. It's like trying to find a needle in the haystack basically the way I see it now. Although everybody can do the same thing, all like this little equipment right here, like back in the day to record, to get some recording equipment, it probably cost like a bunch of money. exactly
Big Darrell: Shit, leaves five nine dollars.
Wills On The Tank: a MacBook and about $400, $300 you can record yourself. Like I got a whole studio for $300. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, like. So that doesn't mean that I'm like, I'ma make it big though. So just don't agree with that. I think it's, I don't wanna just say it's harder, but it's still difficult because you gotta fight so many other people who can do the same thing that you can do right now. So like, it's not easy. I used hear people say something like, now you can just get on social media, press a button and you go viral. true if that was the case i would have made it five ten years ago
Big Darrell: And and Smooth can Smooth
Eric: you
Big Darrell: can attest to that. Hey, how many videos you had to drop to go viral like three times? That shit is hard. And then
Wills On The Tank: That is not true!
smoo: And hey, and look, and look, we ain't made a damn off of none of them shit.
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: Thanks.
smoo: That views and that followers does not account to success, brother.
Wills On The Tank: It
Big Darrell: That's what I'm saying.
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: Hey, no, no count, but I done seen Darrell as on my timeline every damn day, and I ain't got not one dime off that nigga. Every time, every time I get on Instagram, that nigga Jeezy said, I'm like, man, shut up the fuck.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: That being here 400. That be here 400 today.
3 god: I see that what I'm saying.
Wills On The Tank: Hey
Eric: You
3 god: Hey, every time every time I notificate that bit got frame request frame requests,
Wills On The Tank: That's true, that's true.
3 god: frame requests and Darrow ass. I'm like, man I'm like nigga, hey, I'm trying
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Hehehehehe
Eric: Hehehehehe
3 god: to get paid off this nigga. What our shit at, nigga?
Big Darrell: Ha ha ha.
Wills On The Tank: It's not true
Eric: cash it.
Wills On The Tank: like people
Big Darrell: Right.
Wills On The Tank: just really say stuff like that. I'm like that's not true
Big Darrell: I agree with you with y'all. I think I think it was easier in the era, in the giant legend era. I'm gonna tell you why, right? 'Cause cause it's two ways to success in that era.
smoo: Hold on, I'ma say that. I'm finna I'm finna interrupt you. Nigga, Big Shell got signed off a fucking freestyle. What the fuck are we talking about?
Wills On The Tank: that's what I'm saying.
3 god: Freestyle. dear.
Wills On The Tank: That's what I'm saying. Like people back then and I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you go, but like people back then,
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: people back then would, and I'm sure it was still hard. Don't get me wrong. People were getting signed off of like, it's like a rap audition. Like, buss a rap. you can rap? Let me give you a sign. You know what I'm saying? Like.
smoo: And I
3 god: Hey, hey,
smoo: went to them holes. I went to them. Let there I get it, man. I I interrupt you. I interrupt you.
3 god: so let me let me I can't cause much on the last one. okay, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Big Darrell: And so I I think John Legendum era cause there's two ways to get it, right? Either you hella talented, right? And and all you gotta do is you can submit this. You can go to like you say, you can go to submissions, you can go to w what what do they call? my God. Not not plugged in, but auditions.
smoo: The the like exposes, like the expos and shit like that. Yeah.
Big Darrell: Expos, you can go to auditions, or you can do G Z route, have a lot of money and pay for those connections. Like you could pay for radio placement, you can play, you can pay to get in those in those clubs,
Wills On The Tank: They're gonna be good though.
Big Darrell: in those areas, and then you still gotta have good music now. But you can have access
Wills On The Tank: Still gotta be good at it, still gotta be good at it, yeah.
Big Darrell: easier, and then one thing I do like about that era, it was gate, it was gate kept, right? So You you can be the hottest, all you have to do is just network with the right people. Be 106 in Park, be on 99 jams or hot 107 in New York, whatever, whatever was the biggest radio stations. It was gatekeeped or be on live mixtapes, be that piff, be on mtv jams. Like we don't have that now. So now you have to create your own bus, spend your own money. You you you damn sure ain't gonna make it back and you probably be a 10-year return on investment. And then then you gotta still manage your own albums, write your own songs, buy your own beats.
Wills On The Tank: Meh.
Big Darrell: It's like that shit is just like it's just so time consuming and hard nowadays. And then On top of that, y'all heard about what the labels are doing. They are minimizing, they're not even promoting rap or they ain't even pr investing in artists anymore. Back in the day in John Legend, they was looking for artists. They was looking for the next 50 cents, they was looking for the next John Legend, Life Jennis, Anthony Hamilton. They was looking for that, and the music showed. Now they ain't even looking for nothing. And that's why the music is downgraded. It's way hard.
Wills On The Tank: You
3 god: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: can bust the hottest 16 in your life and niggas like we don't care. Like we don't care. bro, I'ma
Eric: Hmm.
smoo: Give a fucker fucker by a sixteen.
Wills On The Tank: tell you when I realized that I was living in a fantasy world, bro, in
3 god: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: 2013, 2014, I had met with Lenny S. You could not tell me that I was not gonna be on the rock roster.
3 god: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Man, I played my music, I gave him my demo. He actually was so cool. He listened to my stuff and everything, gave me feedback. When I found out they was not signing me, it just dawned on me bro, it's not about your talent. You gotta have a buzz. You gotta be like really having numbers. because it really starts making sense because why, at that time, for instance, Soldier Boy had kicked down the door and he had this whole buzz and he like, makes sense. why would we invest all this money into you and we already got people who's already found a way. It's much cheaper to
3 god: Okay.
Wills On The Tank: just like, if you already got something, it's much cheaper or I'm thinking about it from a business standpoint or from a label standpoint, it's much cheaper to promote you if you already got something going. But if we got to start from scratch with you, and there's
3 god: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: people out here already doing it, you don't really have a chance, you know what I mean? And so it just dawned on me dang, bro,
3 god: What?
Wills On The Tank: just because you can rap, who cares? you got to really have something going on. you really got to be able to move the needle first for people to be able to have interest in you. You got people who
Big Darrell: I don't know
Wills On The Tank: don't even rap, who can't rap that good, but they, you get what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: They got a buzz and they got
smoo: I g I just I disagree with that. I
Wills On The Tank: IS IP!
smoo: disagree with that, but I'm gonna let I'm gonna let Dink go.
3 god: I I hate these conversations. I'm gonna tell you why I hate these conversations cause they come with sports too. I hate when
smoo: No, you just always gotta include sports.
Wills On The Tank: Hehehehehe
3 god: Well that that I T
Big Darrell: Yeah.
3 god: we'll be naming movies that came out in the seventies. Man, what the what the fuck?
Wills On The Tank: He does it!
smoo: Yeah.
3 god: Bro, this nigga be comparing life to free willy and shit. What the fuck, man? I I was why I was I was watching this one
smoo: Yeah. That nigga brought a varsity. Hey, he brought a varsity blue.
3 god: I I was watching this one movie I was watching this one movie man shit this nigga yeah but anyway
Wills On The Tank: Bye.
3 god: no but no for real though I I like once again I don't like comparing errors cause everybody gonna say something that's harder it's it's not that there was theirs were harder or or I era harder or whatever. It's just the ones that come with different challenges. And so like
Wills On The Tank: I like that.
3 god: whichever challenge, whichever challenge at that time is gonna seem easier to the somebody that probably overcame it and be like, damn, we had to do this and this and and now y'all can just do this. Well, we like, yeah, we can do that, but it's probably actually the the person that can probably say it's easier is the the second or third person that kept that caught the pioneer the tailwag. If that makes sense. So
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: it were probably harder for the first podcaster to make a podcast, but when that third or fourth guy seen that podcast is next, let's jump on that. So or
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: that person that back in the TI and them days that saying, shit, if I can get on 106 park, that's the way. Like, but it was probably harder for the first person that got on one of six and park. So it's it's always probably those not the pioneer, but the the the next people that's up there could say what's easy. Yeah, the second way. Right.
smoo: Second wave, the second wave. Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: They could refine it and make it better
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: too, yeah.
3 god: Right, right. So so that's my thing that's who I think the people that would say something is easier than whatever.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: But w I think like even with sports, people always try to say, well, Larry Bird can't play in this era and LeBron James went there back in that day. Well shit, I ain't gonna lie, if I went back in the sixties with this fucking iPhone two, nigga, I'm gonna look amazing. So
Wills On The Tank: Right, right.
3 god: I think it's just the fact that is the different challenges. I don't think some I think one of y'all both of y'all said the shit equal. I think it's just the different challenges. It's whichever way
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah.
3 god: you see which one harder, I don't think it's necessarily hard. I just feel like whichever f you feel like which challenge you can overcome.
smoo: Right. And and I think that you make a valid you
Wills On The Tank: Different charges.

Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.

3 god: Yeah, it's just it it is what it is. Nigga can't help when they born, you what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Right, right.
Big Darrell: But but I
smoo: Hey, I'm a I'm a I'm
Big Darrell: I think I think what it go ahead, Smoke.
smoo: I was gonna say I'm a I'm gonna skip over this this this other topic 'cause I think we got some more interesting topics at the end. I seen this clip today, I think maybe it was on well, I think it's kinda av actually it's like actually going around. It wasn't even on Earn Your Leisure. But it was saying, Why is black wealth falling behind? And I wanted to see, you know, get y'all
Wills On The Tank: Mmm.
smoo: boys take on that. What y'all think, you know, how the economy
Big Darrell: Explain exp explain that. How how did they explain it? Give us more backstory on it, Smook.
smoo: Well well basically basically I seen one post that was saying black wealth is down f from forty six thousand well household income was down forty six thousand and thirty six thousand. You know what I'm saying? And then you look at the debt and home ownership and things of that nature. And I seen another clip that was saying and this is I'm glad you said explain 'cause it was another clip that's that showed that how everybody wealth was increasing in other nationality ethnicities and black wealth was decreasing. so yeah.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: In response to that, I've heard some people argue that in terms of black wealth, a lot of times we have a hard time sticking together and building things together. I've heard people say that we kind of too busy like stunting on each other versus us pulling our
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: resources together and, you know, trying to build something together. Have y'all heard anything similar to that before?
Big Darrell: Yes, I see that. That's true.
3 god: That's that but but that's been years though. I'm not trying to take away your tape. That's they've been talking about that for years.
Wills On The Tank: That was a no, but I'm just saying, a lot of that I hear other I've heard the argument in regards to that that other ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic ethnic Yeah, don't really,
Big Darrell: A miseric.
Wills On The Tank: yeah, they don't really, they're not really, and I'm not saying that it don't exist. Of course, there's always the exception, right? But they're not really, they're not really in competition with one another, you know what I'm saying? And, know, Jewish people, know, they really... No, no, no, I'm actually, no, I'm actually bigging them up, actually. No. Right, before
smoo: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, it's only the bit of most.
Wills On The Tank: we get started. But I think they are great people to learn from, though. You know, the way that they handle their resources and stuff, you know. But, you know...
smoo: But how do you know that? How do you know that, Willio?
Wills On The Tank: Because, well, because their track record shows
3 god: I did.
Wills On The Tank: it. Is it, is
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: But you you answered you answered it and didn't answer it. How do you know that?
Wills On The Tank: Their track record shows it,
smoo: What track record?
Big Darrell: They're okay, ba based on they have their own they ha own community, own fire stations.
smoo: No, y'all know what what give me an example of what y'all are talking about instead of just what the media is telling y'all. Give me an example.
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, so so so so to help Willio out, they the the Jewish c community, they have their own communities, they have their own po fire station, own police
smoo: I want to know then that that that don't they don't
Big Darrell: station, own banking systems.
smoo: That does not help me what I'm asking. I'm telling you to give me an example that you know about. You still being you still being broad and what you're talking about. Tell
3 god: Yeah.
smoo: me the family, tell me the group. Because y'all are and what I'm saying is we're y'all just spitting out what the media is telling us without giving me an example of the people who are actually doing it.
Big Darrell: Well what we don't know.
Wills On The Tank: about the Rothschild family?
smoo: Well that's that's
Big Darrell: I'm saying what what I see when I drive
Wills On The Tank: You said a family!
Big Darrell: around when I drive around.
smoo: Right, but that but that but that's the see they created the RA. I d that's that's that's just one family. But I'm saying though, give me the example of all these Jewish people that we see moving and shaking and and grooving.
Wills On The Tank: They own most of media. Is that a fact?
3 god: I'll do it.
Wills On The Tank: Is that a fact or not?
Big Darrell: But smooth want us to give a a family name. We don't know we know we don't know them personally.
smoo: So if you don't know, like what are we doing then? Like we just we just regur we just regurgitating information
Wills On The Tank: Stop! Stop!
Big Darrell: No, no but but we are basing off
smoo: without knowing all this shit.
Big Darrell: No, no,
Wills On The Tank: So, but, go
Big Darrell: no, no, no.
Wills On The Tank: ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Big Darrell: We know this because look, okay, so it may not be down south, but like here in Denver, they have their own fire station, own police station, and just their community.
smoo: Okay. Okay. So all right. So yeah, that's what I'm saying. You gave me a specific. here in Denver, this
3 god: Okay.
smoo: community, dahda, I'm not asking for like a
Big Darrell: Okay. Like in Brooklyn as well. They have that as well in Brooklyn, New York as well.
3 god: Yeah.
Big Darrell: But like I have never seen Well, only thing we have is in history, when we tried to build a Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, right? That's all we know of. But in current day we don't have our own societies where we have I guess you could say the nation of Islam they how they stick together, but they don't have their own police force, they don't have their own banking system, they don't have their own fire station, they don't even have their own block or community like how the Jews have, how the Arabs have, like how when they come over here, like they stick together, they they Build wealth. They might get a liquor store. They might get a gas station. They might get a phone store. You get what I'm saying? that's how normally the Muslim and from all Muslim countries, whether it's Somalia, whether it's Saudi Arabia, that's how they normally build wealth. And they stay together and they have their children work for them. They have their wives and family all work in the same unit. And as well as the Asians, right? Okay, so here in Denver, the Asians might set up let's say for they might set up massage parlors. And have all their family go get massage licenses or the Koreans, they all set up hair and nails, right? And they have their whole family go and get get their certification so they can do nails and do pedicures and as well as sell hair. And so they all do that and their whole family align and they all be kin in there. And so, and we see that on on the Gulf Coast. any anytime you go to any pedicure, the nail spas, it be they mostly be either Korean or or Asian, right? but it's it's like a particular Asian, not Chinese, but they mostly be Koreans or something like that. And they all are family, and that's what they do, they'll build that wealth and then go open up another one and then just pass it on to their family. We don't see that normally in the black community as much as we see in other communities. other ethnicities. And so
Eric: think also.
Wills On The Tank: got one question. I got one question. I got one question. Do y'all think what may contribute to that in regards to us? I always hear like a black people, okay, or I hear a lot of times we'll say things like, when my son, when they turn 18, they gotta go. Where I've heard other groups where they may encourage, they may encourage their children to stay home, you know, to, you know, save money. And also you get what I'm saying? Like that, like,
Eric: For sure.
Big Darrell: Thanks.
Eric: For sure.
Wills On The Tank: That's a real thing in the community. I hear people like, when they turn 18, they got to go. You know what I mean? You see what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: That that's how black people do it. But but then you got people like I I don't wanna name any ethnicity. I don't wanna do
Wills On The Tank: Right, right, right.
Big Darrell: It's people and ethnicities that keep their family together. Even I I just go forward to say, like, even Africans, they don't kick you out the family. They they raise their grandchildren there. They raise their the family. The the husband and wife will stay in one room and they they'll build wealth together. Like the Arabs is like that. the Mexicans are like that. for sure the Jews are like that, like it's just I I ain't saying we the only ones, it's just like what Dink say. We see this cause this is our community, but from being in our community, you don't you don't see that. You don't see that. you can stay with your parents till you you thirty and you just help your parents pay bit your family gonna want your ass to get out soon.
Wills On The Tank: That's ludicrous. In our minds,
3 god: Well I well I
smoo: Right. Huh.
Wills On The Tank: that's ludicrous.
smoo: Hey, Bill, you got it. You got it, Bill.
Eric: Yeah, this is a good, this is an interesting topic. think that's,
Wills On The Tank: It is.
Eric: I think what y'all saying is a partial depiction of the picture.
3 god: Yeah, yeah, that's nice too.
Eric: Man, wealth is, wealth is like, you gotta, we gotta go back 30 years from now. We gotta go back
3 god: Yeah, five.
Eric: 40 years from now, you know?
Big Darrell: Thanks.
Eric: Wealth is passed down, it builds and compounds generationally, from what I understand about it.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Eric: A lot of the people you see with the wealth now, the wealth was... It's inherited from land, from cattle, from businesses, from stocks,
3 god: Basements, yeah.
Eric: from investments, from real estate that they have. So, that gets compounded. I think also, I think we gotta remember too, like we've always steadily made progress. Like 2008 was a big... like a wipeout for us. It was a big period where all that progress was damn near erased. You know, in 2008,
Big Darrell: Facts.
Eric: a lot of when the crisis happened, when the housing market crashed, when the stock market crashed, you know, there have been periods and we don't have the we don't have the enough resources to make almost make it through those crises like the rest of the people can. Like some people can write when you got generational money, you can weather those storms. We ain't been set up that way yet. So I think that's part of it too. Even the little, we gotta even talk about the education. Our education is funded through debt usually. Right? Ain't nobody coming at, when we got to school, we got to take out loans. A lot of the time when
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: counterparts go to school, it's paid for for them. So that's, you already starting in the hole. There are two, you know? Like, I mean, like I said, this is a layered conversation, bro. And it has to go back 40 years. So I don't think that black people aren't trying to make progress. I just think that that gap is going to take a little minute.
Big Darrell: Thanks.
Eric: for us to kind of catch up. And you see it, like I like Earn Your Leisure and what they're doing for what they, you know, the movement.
Wills On The Tank: Definitely.
Eric: why I'm bringing them up specifically is that like, do their podcasts on Mondays too and they do a live, but it's like 7,000, 8,000 black people tuning in to them every Monday. So the need is there and the people want to is just that, you know, that stuff take time. So that's kind of my
Big Darrell: Facts.
Eric: idea on it.
3 god: Yeah.
Big Darrell: And we start from ground zero. I like what you said about that. we ain't
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: coming from a a place of privilege. We started from zero.
Eric: Yeah, for sure. And last point, Dink,
smoo: Obrigado, hein? uma bebida.
3 god: Well yeah.
Eric: we didn't even mention the structural barriers that are still in place. mean, let me take that back. Structural barriers meaning that also put us behind the eight ball, the line, the start line, if you will. So my bad,
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: Dink, I just had to say that.
3 god: No, y I I I think you're right. those are gonna be one of my points. It's just like the historical like you just said, stuff back in the day, slavery, people inheriting, stuff. so you pretty much say the same thing I was gonna say, but I do got to go with T Wheels and Darrell about gotta be disagreeing with when y'all just saying about the the parents say, yeah, you gotta get out the house at the age of eighteen. I I don't think that's a bad thing because
Wills On The Tank: I don't think so either, but I think it's a real thing that can help, that can keep people from, my bad, my bad, man. Go ahead, go ahead, bro.
3 god: Damn, I don't even know why I think it's well
smoo: Yeah, yeah, we all.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
3 god: no, I I just don't think that's a I I not not in the RAM that you were about to say far as you got to get out of your own. What I was gonna say is based off historical barriers, like Bill stated, I believe, because we can't afford to keep another grown pr back in the day t our parents couldn't afford to keep another eighteen, twenty two, twenty three, twenty four year old in the house. As in like he said, well you got
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3 god: people that already got generational wealth where, hey dude, you ain't gotta go nowhere. You I got big enough house for all of us where we living in homes that's two, three, you know, a two, three bedroom. You know what I'm saying? Where they got generational wealth where hey, well yeah, you may not be even living in the house, but you living in another part of the area of the the the land that we got. So yeah, you so they not thinking that way when you say, Yeah, you gotta get the house when really, yeah, you probably have the house, but you in that part of the crib or that part of the land. And we wasn't either we wasn't, denialed
Wills On The Tank: Three minutes.
3 god: it. we won that's why we constantly saying that we are old reparations, 'cause See, you had all the, even with black people in the Armin, we didn't get our G they didn't some of them didn't get the GI bill. Only two of them got it.
Big Darrell: Yeah. Right.
3 god: you got the you know, had redlining, you had just a whole bunch of different stuff that we can go back on.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big Darrell: Mm-hmm.
3 god: but I will still I still even though me and Bill saying some of the same stuff, I do challenge us as far as the questions Smooth just asked us because although we stated that, we still really didn't state that why we going. Downward though. That's
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
3 god: a question I would like because Daz will only say what we're saying, me Bill saying, or all of us saying is well, we were still here at one point, why we going down? And I think that's a question that I know I can't even answer right now. Even though historical barriers, like we said, can still, you know, tribute to it, but it's like, dang, well, that was already going on in two thousand, whatever, while we lower and I will
Big Darrell: Yeah.
3 god: like the answer to that 'cause I don't know.
Big Darrell: I think I I th I think
Eric: Because...
Big Darrell: I think it goes to even with the whole AI movement, in the in the loss of jobs as well. I think that that can contribute a lot to it as well. And then like the prices of everything going up.
smoo: Thank you, Roll.
Big Darrell: W why you think that?
smoo: because the AI hasn't affected the the blue collar worker yet. AI has affected
Big Darrell: But the blue collar worker doesn't doesn't increase wealth.
smoo: But it hasn't affected it hasn't affected wealth yet. It hasn't affected our realm of people yet. The people who are affected are the middle class and the upper class people, the people who that can do the like those tech jobs, all of those people have been affected. But the blue collar, the industrial people, the shipyard people, the people who are working at the fast food restaurants, the Krogers and all of that type of shit, those people ain't affected yet. So I don't think you can't blame AI.
Big Darrell: But now now from my understanding, from my understanding from your question, Smooth, it's saying that we were on in incline, right? Now we're on a decline. So being just a blue-collar
3 god: Anyway.
Big Darrell: worker won't won't incline our wealth, right?
smoo: I mean, if you ask
Big Darrell: So so
smoo: if you ask me, if you want me to be completely honest with you, I'm not gonna say I disagree with everything y'all said, but I think I think it's a bunch of hooblah. Like, I feel like it's a bunch of hooblah.
3 god: Wow.
smoo: in the r W
Wills On The Tank: Do I say that? I was just about to ask that,
smoo: Well, I mean, cause we me and Bip kinda talked about it, me, Bip and Vic kinda talked about it this weekend. I think black people hide their money first and foremost.
Eric: You
smoo: First and foremost, I think black people hide their money. I don't
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: think black people participate in the census. I don't think black people write down the right shit on their taxes. I don't think I don't I don't think we I don't think we participate.
Big Darrell: Ha ha ha ha ha.
Wills On The Tank: That's a good gist though. That's a stuff.
smoo: I don't think we participate in the system. You know, like if you go to a casino, who you gonna see at the casino?
Big Darrell: Feel
smoo: You're gonna see niggas. And me and Vic had this conversation a long time ago.
Big Darrell: Niggas and Asians.
smoo: We we went we went to a car show and like nigga like how much do y'all think those old schools be worth? You know what I'm saying? Like we just we just we Yeah,
Big Darrell: Almost a thirty thousand for sure.
smoo: like like we just hired our money differently, you know what I'm saying? And I'm not saying we're I'm just say I just think this a lot of this shit don't pertain to us.
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm.
smoo: and the and another thing I think is it like it it If it fucks your it fucks with your mind to make you think you still at the bottom. You know what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: That's true.
smoo: you that it's hey, hey, y'all niggas are fucked up out here. Don't get
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: it twisted. But if you look
Wills On The Tank: You
smoo: around, like how many niggas y'all know that can't eat? How many y'all niggas, how many people you know that can't really do what they want to do out here?
3 god: Well, I think I I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm not saying you're right though, but I'm saying though if you're gonna go based out there, I think they also going based off the majority black cities that may not be flourishing and they going based off those numbers.
smoo: Well that's what I'm saying though, Ding. But that's what I'm saying. I don't think black people participate in these census and these surveys as n y'all niggas ever participated in one of these surveys?
Eric: I can't remember the last time I did the census. I can't even remember the last time I did that. Ayy!
Big Darrell: I ain't never did a motherfucking census. I swear I ain't never did no different census, boy, because I don't want them folks in my business.
3 god: No, I remember I remember somebody came to my apartment one time.
Wills On The Tank: That's crazy.
smoo: who who are the niggas who are the niggas that's participating in these surveys?
Eric: Who? Why? Ay!
Big Darrell: That's fact though. I ain't never seen my pops or my mama.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, that's funny. That's
smoo: Now I will say I will say I will say we
Wills On The Tank: funny. That's some funny stuff right there.
smoo: got we probably got a lot of debt. We we
Big Darrell: That's fine, though. Smooth on to something though.
smoo: probably got a lot of debt for sure. We probably got a lot of debt. Niggas got debt. Yeah, we got a lot of debt. Yeah, we probably
Eric: See, that's what it is. That's what it is, duty. It's the...
Big Darrell: It's a debt to income ratio.
smoo: got a lot of debt. But as far as like the the the income, right, that
Big Darrell: Damn, that might be contribute. We spend more.
smoo: that could be a main contributor. But as far as like the income and wealth, bro, I feel like niggas just don't participate in that shit. Like they They say we do. I don't.
Eric: I think that's part of the picture too. I think
3 god: If there's so
Eric: that's part of the picture. I think what you did last part, what you said too Smooth, the debt, we can, it's like, it's like black America gets squeezed in. Yeah. We get, yeah. We getting,
smoo: You can't hide the debt. You can't hide the debt. When you get that credit card, you you actually yeah, right, right.
Eric: we getting squeezed on both sides, right? Like we get hit for the inflation and then we get hit with the debt. So that's kind of squeezing
Big Darrell: Right.
Eric: in on us. And then we not buying assets also, like, you know,
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: Right, we just we buying clean shit, but it ain't gonna appreciate.
Eric: We got a clean shit, right? now again, you, Shaville.
3 god: Built.
Wills On The Tank: But does that go back to what I
smoo: But but no, but listen though, but listen
Wills On The Tank: said earlier though?
smoo: though. But that's another part of it though. nigga, does does your Robin Hood account or whatever you got built and I'm not saying whatever you got, but does your Robin Hood or your Merrill hot what it was it, Meryl Merrill Lynch, does that ask for your race?
Big Darrell: Meryl Lynch.
3 god: Fidelity.
Eric: Yeah, I do Robin Hood. Yeah, it does actually. It does. Robin Hood. Robin Hood asked for mine. Yeah, it
smoo: Which one does? I don't think Robin Hood does. Robin Hood does? Okay, okay.
Eric: did. did. Robin Hood asked for mine because I got, Sarah got one recently.
smoo: Mm.
Eric: when I was signing her up, it asked for who, like, what she work. It asked
smoo: Okay, okay.
Eric: for if she black, female. Like, it was pretty cool. Yeah.
Big Darrell: See, I like I like little apps like that too, 'cause it's like
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: we got so much access to like to build wealth. That's crazy.
Eric: Yeah,
Wills On The Tank: No,
smoo: Me,
Eric: yeah, crazy.
smoo: there you go.
Wills On The Tank: and I will say that I would definitely say that I think we in a day and age where information is, but this is the thing we got a lot of information, but it's so much information. It's
Big Darrell: It could be misinformation. Yep.
Wills On The Tank: like that's what it is. It's so much information that it can be misinformation.
Eric: Hey, hey, look, look, look. was thinking about this the other day. I was like, in today's time, the best skill that you can almost develop is to be able to decipher the BS and look around you and see what's happening in real life. You know what I mean? And build off that, you know what I like? Because like you saying, there's so much information. It's so much information. Like I think, God gave me an amazing ability to be able to be like, yeah, that's bullshit and I'm not following that. I
Big Darrell: Right. Yeah. I was like you know what I believe, right?
Wills On The Tank: You
Eric: think that's been one of my biggest gifts,
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: I think that's an important skill to have in the information age.
3 god: Well, hey, so s so smooth.
Wills On The Tank: Especially nowadays everybody can be a guru or something.

smoo: Okay, all right, all right, bet, bet. But okay I I I all right, I'ma tie it in. I'm a tie in. I'm a tie bro.
3 god: the reason I ask all we self is then 'cause I'm like, okay, so you saying we got all this hidden wealth under the mattress. So why why we constantly, you know, not, you know
smoo: Cause we scared of the man. We scared of the man. Yeah, we scared of the man.
3 god: Well, I that ain't a bad answer either.
smoo: But but that the tied in, I don't think I don't think these niggas moving how y'all say they moving. the the the those groups and air I think it's a particular Yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah, yeah. I don't think they moving how
Big Darrell: the the other ethnicities, yeah.
3 god: Time don't say they that's dealing. I don't believe all the extra stuff. It is what it is. I don't
smoo: they moving, man. Like I'm I work with all these Hispanics dudes and them niggas them niggas They on bullshit just like we on bullshit. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like everybody's on bullshit. and it's a little bit like everybody gets this deep, they get these reps, this reputation of just moving with flow. Man, them niggas don't be moving with flow like that, bro. Not from what I see, not from what I see. the the the white the white guys
Big Darrell: But but okay okay okay.
smoo: that I've worked with, the black guy, they don't move with flow like like how we just think that they're just intertwining through this shit. It I don't see it like that. And I think that's and how and they and they make us
Big Darrell: Yeah, yeah, but that that that that that is true.
smoo: feel like they make us feel like that to to make us even feel like we're in a lower state of
Wills On The Tank: Inferior.
smoo: how we of how we moving. I don't think they moving like that, bro.
Big Darrell: So, so now but now but now smooth is that is that from your perspective as a enlightened or intelligent brother? You get what I'm saying now? Cause smooth, cause smooth,
smoo: That's my experience. That's my experience.
Big Darrell: how you moving might be top tier compared to how they're moving. And you might be the the one or the five percent of black people that move, how you move. You get what I'm saying now?
smoo: But that's but but I'm I'm I'm just giving you my experience. So I my your your your experience could be different from mine.
Big Darrell: But I'm I'm saying you might be the one to five percent of the of the black people that move elite. You get what I'm saying now?
smoo: Right. I see what you're saying, but I like I said, I don't know either or, but I'm just giving you a my experience of dealing with people. You know what I'm saying?
Wills On The Tank: and
smoo: I'm just giving you the experience of what I see on a daily basis of this race, that race, this race, that and the third.
Big Darrell: 'Cause now now w when we go through the those surveys, I think it's a majority. But then my thing is, why do we have the stigma out of everybody and and they don't have the stigma, but no other race has that stigma.
smoo: That's what that's that's the that's the brainwash. That's the brainwash. That's the misinformation in the information. That's what I'm telling you.
Big Darrell: But who if doing the brainwashing?
3 god: I I I just I'd I'd I
Big Darrell: do you think or do you think it's it's quote unquote if we if we got all the black people in the world and we averaged out, do you think we will fit that stigma?
smoo: I don't think we fit that stigma. And that's what I'm saying. I think that's just I don't know if this is relevant, but that's just like them saying the Africa ain't that big on the map. And apparently, it's the biggest country, biggest continent there is. Y'all y'all ain't hear about that?
Big Darrell: I seen that they
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: out they purposely
Wills On The Tank: I love it.
Big Darrell: make it smaller, but it's it can fit a damn near majority of every country. Yep.
smoo: Every it can fit every continent can fit inside of Africa, but it's purposely on the world map, supposedly like it looks smaller than what it is.
Eric: Yeah,
Wills On The Tank: Thank
Eric: they call it a mimetic warfare. It's
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Damn.
3 god: Well see, but if that if that the case,

Big Darrell: Uh-huh.
Eric: all the people are on the west, I mean on the eastern and the western hemisphere and then right at the bottom. And it's
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: like, dang bro, you start to see like, bro, it's they're in the west. Like. Out West, in the desert, there's a gap where there's nothing and nobody there. Of course, lack of resources.
Big Darrell: Right.
smoo: And y'all niggas don't and y'all niggas don't think it's more black people in the United States than white people. Okay. Okay.
Eric: Man, that's crazy to me,
3 god: So if I can go back to Smooth Point
Eric: insane.
3 god: though, if I can go back to Smooth Point, I I I can't I I I don't know b smooth because it's just bro, like you said, based off your experiences, you know, what you believe what you what you b what
Big Darrell: And we have more babies than white people.
3 god: what you believe is what you believe me me when it
smoo: Fucking more than white people, but it ain't more black people.
3 god: when it when it comes to my experiences though, I and I was just in Mississippi, so this could be this can be, you know, cause
Big Darrell: Hello, thank you.
3 god: When we were working with CPS, most of our stuff it will mo most of our tours were were black. We're black. I'm just being on Twitch. Yeah, so I don't
smoo: That yeah, right. You're right, right, right, right. That's your experience. Right, right, right, right.
Eric: I didn't have
Big Darrell: And
Eric: that experience. I didn't have that experience.
Big Darrell: that and that's what I'm saying, Dink.
smoo: hello, hello, hello, hello, Darrell. What you say, Bill?
3 god: So it was more white, it was more white, poor up there. Where you was at?
Eric: I had way more poor white people on my caseload, And this was, I worked at
Big Darrell: Where where? Hold on, g get a location, Bill. Get a location.
smoo: Hello, hello, hello hello, hello, girl.
Eric: CPS for nine years and I covered Harrison County. Harrison County has Diabreville, St. Martin, Gulfport, past Christian. In my mission one, Ocean, no it's not Ocean Spring, it's Jackson County. So it had those four big cities in them. And Harrison County has the biggest school, had the most population in the biggest county in Mississippi. So
3 god: That's the biggest county in Mississippi.
Eric: man, there was way more white people. then even, so we also worked at the, we shared the same building as the food stamp office, right? Stamps, bro. there would be on average, I would sit there and watch white people come in or just look at the population that would come in. There would be way more white people that would walk in that office than black people. And I think what Smooth
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: is saying, making me think about it now, that is 100 % true. They try to make us feel like we at the bottom of the totem pole, which I think we
3 god: A bill.
Eric: are. I think it's partially true.
Big Darrell: And see and see we need that perspective, big.
3 god: I hey Bill, and I will give you this, with
Big Darrell: We need those perspectives.
smoo: Hold hold on hold on there.
3 god: what you saying that, Bill, I w before you had I ain't gonna say you interrupt me, but right when you right when you were saying that, I
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: would say although like they were the poor, like more of my people were black, were poor. The poor risk though, like we were talking about the the the the top, like we were talking about Jay-Z who had the highest peak or whatever. If you talking about the
Eric: Mm-hmm.
3 god: lowest, the lowest, like
Eric: Mm-hmm
3 god: It might have been more poor black people that I encountered, but the lowest of the people was white. Like I'm talking about and I don't wanna sound
Eric: Yes. Yes.
3 god: racist, I don't wanna sound crazy, I don't know what that's not, but you talking about like yeah facts. Facts. I'm talking about you
Eric: Don't say it, don't say it. I will get your point. I know where you're going, because that's what my head went to.
3 god: talking about where it was like automatic custody, it was mostly white. No cap. Mostly white from from what they're living
Eric: White people, white people. You going there?
3 god: environment.
Eric: Man, I'm tired.
3 god: And well I will say that. Black people
Big Darrell: Wow.
3 god: just like, okay, yeah, hey, look, man, we got stamp, we got, we, you know, yeah, we ain't in no big house, but we my kids taken care of. You go
smoo: No.
3 god: to, and this just based on my experience. I'm sure if you go somewhere else, that's, you know, wherever, but like I will agree to Bib on that point. If you're talking about the lowest of the low far as like the housing, shit.
Eric: And here go another crazy stat.
Big Darrell: Wow.
Eric: White people or other races held their kids in private school more than black people. So at CPS, you don't even know what's going on in the community
3 god: No.
Eric: with their families because they're so off the grid unless somebody just happened to be riding by and called on them. You know what I mean? like, right, right, right, right. So even that.
3 god: I got kicked out of private school one time. well, we don't want you to deal with CPS here.
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: I got a dip in 15 minutes, fellas.
3 god: shit, probably for
Wills On The Tank: you
Big Darrell: No, that's a great perspective.
3 god: that cuz it's 1214.
smoo: we yeah, we're gonna utilize that fifteen. We're gonna utilize F fifteen. That'll be good stopping point.
3 god: I go either what you got?
smoo: no, but I'm just saying, yeah, I don't I don't I never really subscribe to to that shit, me personally.
3 god: Nah, I I and to be honest, I don't need them. for conversation wise, yeah, I had a combo, but it
smoo: And that don't and don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, we are behind the eight ball, all that all that stuff, but Yeah. Yeah, bro. Yeah. Yeah.
3 god: Now that I believe, yeah.
Big Darrell: Well but but but it's not like how they make it seem though. Like when you just said Ding, it's just like when the lowers are the low and then they have you thinking it's black people, but it ain't.
smoo: Yeah, bro.
3 god: No.
smoo: nigga, you give us you give us, you give us that cow tail, we're gonna make oxtails, you know what I'm saying? You give
Big Darrell: Right.
3 god: Yeah, so
smoo: niggas that pig, they gon' come out with chitlings. You know what I'm saying? You
3 god: Thanks, right?
smoo: gonna come out like that's just what we do, bro. That's what we that's just what we
Wills On The Tank: TXBs hit this. Yeah, all that.
smoo: do, bro. That's just what we do.
Big Darrell: We invent, we
3 god: I will I will say this too though, this
Big Darrell: create and and we artistic people.
3 god: this ain't got nothing to do with, poor white, poor black, whatever. It just but it is crazy that we are we was talking and this would be another topic, but we were talking you know how we were just talking about hip hop dying? But hip hop is like the most influential, you know, the black culture is the most influential throughout the world. So it it's cra
Wills On The Tank: Hmm Is it
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: Damn, yep.
Eric: twerk, molly molly twerk. Only in
Wills On The Tank: is it is it yeah, is it is it
Eric: America.
3 god: I don't know if that's good or bad though. I mean let the
Big Darrell: Well, that's a good thing. That that that that show the influence that black people have. And I I I think they try to diminish that influence.
3 god: I don't know Daryl. I don't I don't know. I don't know if that's that that's a good thing.
Wills On The Tank: So are we made to believe that
Big Darrell: No it yeah.
Wills On The Tank: it's actually dying when it's because it's so influential that we're being told that it's dying when it's not really?
Big Darrell: I think I I think what's bad about it is is that they try to limit
Wills On The Tank: They got me thinking, y'all got me thinking.
Big Darrell: they try to limit black people to certain certain I would say hobbies and certain tasks like like say in sports and arts, right? They don't want you learning real estate, they don't want you learning investment, they don't want you learning banking.
smoo: Now now I will say that. Now I will say that. Now I will say that. I feel like if you ask me, if you ask me, I personally feel like the United States is doing what they what we going through economically is because when COVID happened, niggas ran it up in every facet.
Wills On The Tank: Ha ha ha ha.
smoo: in every facet. We learned the internet. We learned we learned the fucking stop market.
3 god: No, we went crazy.
smoo: We learn
Wills On The Tank: That's
Big Darrell: Nice,
Wills On The Tank: a fact. That's a fact. Yeah.

Big Darrell: nice.
Eric: open businesses.
smoo: we you know saying we open businesses and like it was just like wait, hold like you know, when they talk about the inflation, we are the reason for the inflation. You know what I'm saying?
Big Darrell: Right.

Big Darrell: Let's get these niggas back in trouble.
smoo: but really it's us. That mess shit up and they trying to put that shit, trying to put it back in the fucking can or what's the same? Yeah, yeah, well they gave it to us.
Eric: Man, they gave us the bread.
Wills On The Tank: They did it, they did it.
Eric: They printed the bread. So I think, I think, yes, they gave it to us and we spent it. did exactly what they thought we were gonna do. But niggas, them boys, they
Big Darrell: Yeah.
Eric: started printing money like crazy. And I think that is...
smoo: Yeah. And they didn't think we were gonna they didn't think we were gonna catch on to it. They didn't think we was gonna catch on to it. Man, but
Big Darrell: And niggas start buying shit, niggas start investing in shit, niggas start.
Eric: huh. Yeah, for
Wills On The Tank: But you know what?
Eric: sure.
Wills On The Tank: Niggas always say, if I get my hands on some money, I'm gonna do X, Y, Z. And when they got their hands on some money, they did X, Y, and Z. That's like they said they would. That's all they could do.
Big Darrell: Hey, F Y D. For A B C D
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: E L G. Hey, the rest of them levels, nigga.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah, that's a fact, because niggas always talk like that. Man, if I ever get some money, this what I'm to do. Whether it's invested or whatever the case is, that's how brothers talk. That's what really happens. So yeah, that's a fact.
3 god: Yeah, I I I agree with that.
Big Darrell: Hey, hey, but
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: I tell you what, they know not to give a nigga no reparations. They know that shit. Nah, cause they gotta keep you in control. That's too out of control. Nigga be too out of control with shit like that. Facts.
Eric: Hey, you know what? I said, man, you know what?
Wills On The Tank: You could say that's too out of control.
Eric: Right now, ain't even, like, you ain't gotta put no money in my pocket. Reparations, you just say, you know what, Bill? You ain't gotta pay no taxes for the rest of your life. Nigga, that'll be good enough. Shit.
smoo: Hey, well listen, well that goes into that goes into the question you have
Big Darrell: no.
smoo: brought up, Bill. if you st if you gotta start from zero, which advantage are you taking? You taking fifty K cash, you taking top one percent credit, network of millionaires are mastery of high of a high income skill.
3 god: That's so easy to me.
Wills On The Tank: What's the tech of date?
3 god: The master of the high income skill. I can leverage that. I'm leveraging that bitch.
Wills On The Tank: That's what I thought, that's what I said, that's what I said. That's what I said. Cause you can give a nigga
Eric: I'm with Dink. I'm with Dink. I'm with Dink.
Wills On The Tank: 50,000 and he just be dumb as a box of rocks and f it up. You know what I'm
Eric: Ay, yeah. Ay,
Big Darrell: I was a network
3 god: It ain't
Big Darrell: of millionaire.
3 god: even I'm
Eric: but see, but hold up, hold hold up, but see. Nah, my day, you got it, got it, you got it.
3 god: I'm gonna tell you my reason why though. I'm gonna tell you go here. What happened? My my
smoo: Now get your point off, get your point off, dude.
3 god: reason why, bro, and I'm and you know, I'm IT3Z. You heard me bitch, you hear me bitch, huh? Huh? You know what I'm saying? You know
Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah, doing shoulder tight, tight, tight.
Wills On The Tank: Crazy. Believe me.
3 god: what I'm saying? They call me I33, you know what I'm saying? So I just said like even with my like me getting the the cloud shit, like I was telling Bip about me getting my cloud shit, like even lower level cloud. the the so many people that need that bitch and now AI and shit, if you can if you tie cloud, AI, and security together, nigga, you is like the one percent. And so if you if I I don't the first thing I think about that when I seen that question was the matrix, how them niggas or Meteor Man, when Meteor Man touched the book, that nigga learned everything, or in the matrix you can program to learn that whole skill. If you can
Wills On The Tank: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
3 god: leverage that whole skill that only Three people out the world can do? Nigga, I I got control,
Wills On The Tank: Killing it.
3 god: bro. I'd be having that Tesla flying car tomorrow if I had that shit. You heard me? I'll be in that bitch. Hey, Bip,
Eric: Hey, that's what we need to talk about. God damn.
3 god: I'm getting that bitch, nigga. You heard
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: me? I'm getting that bitch. Hey, y'all think a nigga ain't, y'all think a nigga ain't got, hey, y'all talking about, hey, you talking about thug, y'all talking about thug motivation, nigga. I'm talking about Tesla motivation,
Wills On The Tank: So does I get my I don't go get what I get what I get as soon as I get their money I'm a do XYZ
Big Darrell: But yeah. And and it's in the power hot.
3 god: bitch. You know what I'm saying? I'm getting the flying car, bitch. I'm getting the car.
Eric: Elon, nigga,

Wills On The Tank: I'm so excited!
Eric: I'm going to the moon type shit, nigga. I'm going to the moon, nigga.
3 god: Bitch. I'm going to the I'm getting a flying car built.
smoo: I don't see them.
Wills On The Tank: Say their first pocket tick!
3 god: When I when I w
smoo: First podcast check block test reply calls for everybody.
Wills On The Tank: gonna lie to ya, I done spent my first podcast check so many times in my life. I'm gonna lie to ya.
Big Darrell: No
3 god: Hey, I'm Bill, when I say I'm pulling up, I don't really be pulling up. You see what I'm saying?
smoo: Yeah.
Eric: Yeah, yeah,
Big Darrell: It it's crazy because that
Eric: yeah, yeah, yeah.
Big Darrell: they say it's all oxygen. That the the proportion in it, all oxygen. Yep.
Eric: Air compressed oxygen.
smoo: What you got, Bill?
3 god: Hey, hey, hey, Daryl, when I pull
Eric: I think for me...
3 god: up, Daryl, when I pull up, nigga be like, hey, bro, just park park in the driveway. I say, bro, that bitch got a heliper hat?
smoo: Mm-hmm.
Eric: Hmm.
Wills On The Tank: Hello, I got a place and then I'm gonna let you go. Yeah, I remember Yeah, I a lottery ticket when they were talking about me I'm gonna give me a helicopter. This is how big it's hard, bro. Like that's exactly what we do
Eric: Yeah. Yeah.
3 god: Hey, see
Big Darrell: Motherfucker
3 god: I can't I I can't pull up in your driveway, you ain't got no helipad, cuz.
Big Darrell: did the chase flip, boy, that shit crazy.
Eric: Yeah. Hey, hey, so for me, I think I will want the option of doing a high income skill, but I also know networking and having a network of millionaires
Wills On The Tank: thought about this.
Eric: is probably way more valuable than a high- income skill. Let me tell you why. Because if I got a network of billionaires, millionaires around me, bro, the information is going to get you the money. I don't even want to like, you don't got to be able to
Wills On The Tank: that's good stuff right there. That's good stuff. Yeah.
Eric: work hard or have a high income skill. I got a room for the millionaires to go. That's willingly sharing me this information. So that's hard to pick. I think because I'm starting to understand the importance of relationships, I'm going go with that.
Wills On The Tank: That's good, Stone.
Eric: have a network of high.
smoo: Yeah, and I'ma I'm I'ma give you another point. I'ma add on to your point. I don't think the value is in the information that they could give you. I think it's in the value that you can bring them. I think that's the most
3 god: Mm.
smoo: important part.
Wills On The Tank: Right on.
smoo: So I feel like if you can bring value to the nick the millionaires and the billionaires, you'll go through
Big Darrell: Thanks.
smoo: the roof. But I'm I agree with I agree with Bill, the millionaires, network of millionaires relationships. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I think
Eric: That's a good points move. didn't think about it like that. Facts.
3 god: What's you going with there?
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
smoo: well just to add on to that, like, Just being in real estate, like it don't it don't help a nigga who already rich to like to bring me on and just for them to give me information. Like you have to bring something to them, hustle
Eric: Mm-hmm. For sure.
smoo: or something to them that makes you valuable to them. And then they
Eric: Mm-hmm.
smoo: you know, at some point they start giving right, right, right. Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: enough to do for you.
Big Darrell: And trust you. Yep. I agree. But
Wills On The Tank: That makes sense.
Big Darrell: shit, I'm taking the network of millionaires 'cause see it like it first off, it's like what smooth says if you can offer something, or if you are shown as a valuable asset to their lineup or to their day-to-day
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Big Darrell: interactions, right? They they'll be willing to loan you or give you a opportunity. You get what I'm saying now. say for instance
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: they have a million dollar company, right? They might say or say for you good at accounting. Come be my lead CPA or something, right? I give you $150,000 a year, give you bonuses, and give you stake in the company. Like it's it's just so much opportunity with that network of millionaires, especially if you can offer, you can offer something to
smoo: 'Cause and then another point
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: is at the end of the day, the whole world is sales. everybody really is in a business of sales, regardless of what
Big Darrell: Facts.
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: you regardless of what
3 god: That's true.
smoo: you think you in, like you in the business of sales and relationships. You know what I'm saying?
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: So I think that's another point.
Big Darrell: Yeah, that's a good that's a great point. Hey hey, that's a good ass point. your whole life is by
smoo: Yeah.
Big Darrell: selling yourself.
smoo: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Even when you go to a job interview, you gotta sell yourself basically. You know what saying? Yeah. Yeah.
Big Darrell: Hey, just don't say yourself short.
Eric: Yeah.
3 god: Would you take would you take it, T Wheel? Would you take it?
Eric: That's bars.
Wills On The Tank: Man, at first I did say, I still would, at first I did say the high income skill, because I just think you can leverage that. And I think you made some great points in regards to that, Dean. But then in regards to them, they also made some very, very great points in regards to, you know, just bringing value to having a network of billionaires. Because initially when I thought about that, I at first said millionaire, you know, having a network of billionaires. But then I thought about it from another point. I was like, well, You don't know nothing. Like I basically was saying it, but I was saying it on the opposite end. was like, but if you don't know nothing, like what good does it do you to know all these people and you can't bring, you can't, you don't know nothing to help yourself. So that's why I initially went back to the high income skill. But yeah, if
Eric: Mm-hmm.
Wills On The Tank: you can bring value to, you know, a group of wealthy people, then yeah, that makes sense as to why you probably end up in a better. in better situation. for me,
3 god: bah saiu de communauté

Big Darrell: Jay Z gotta he gotta guarantee me that I'm I'm I'm gonna make some.

Big Darrell: Well well
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: how how you feel about that though? You think it's a scam or do you think you paying you paying to be put in protection and good graces?
smoo: well, well, well, me and Bilpton talked about this, I can't really say what what is what because I feel like I I pay for my lessons. I I got costly lessons. You know what I'm saying? That I didn't have a mentor. I didn't have go to seminars. I just got costly
Eric: Yeah.
smoo: lessons in the field that damn near equal up to even more than having a fucking, mentor or some shit. So I can't say. I can't say, but
Eric: Yeah.
Wills On The Tank: Hey look.
smoo: I just know them I just know them niggas ain't got my money.
Wills On The Tank: Listen, Master P what? Look, I'm...
Eric: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Now but now but now okay okay smooth
Wills On The Tank: Bucklehead.
Big Darrell: smooth smooth now okay so now would you rather somebody that go through what you had to go through or pay you or pay you pay you to get that knowledge to to to be that mentor.
smoo: Nah, don't go through what I go through. Nah, go. Well, no, now now you pay me. I think I of course I feel trustworthy, but the other person gonna feel trustworthy too. But if you ask me, do you learn the costly lessons I have, or you get somebody, you go find somebody who can help you, bro.
Wills On The Tank: Yeah.
Big Darrell: Okay, okay, so so y okay, you think it's valuable. Damn, that's a good that's a good answer.
Eric: Hmm, that's That's real.
smoo: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go have go find somebody to help you.
Wills On The Tank: think of that example that Master P used, he said he had went to go see Michael Jackson, lawyer, to try to figure out how to get the best deal. And he said because he paid $25,000, according to him, he was able to, his way into the type of deal that the 80-20 deal to where, you know, he ended up making more money or, you know, put
3 god: Mm.
Wills On The Tank: himself in a position that he is. So I do think it's valuable sometimes to just Of course,
smoo: Yeah.
Eric: Hmm.
Wills On The Tank: everybody's, there's a lot of people out there that scheme and scam and that goes back to what we talked about earlier. It's so much information that you got to watch out for the misinformation. But if you can find a way to, weave through all of that, then yeah, I think it's it. Go ahead.
3 god: I will say this with your and we ended. I will say I don't necessarily think people intend the scheme, although you do have people that do that. I don't think the intentions is is somebody going in with the intending the scheme. I think what it is that is what you do with the money you spend and the time you spend. Cause just like I I go with something
Eric: you
3 god: like this, if I'm saying it right. Like Beach Body, right? Beach Body has all these, I be telling people about the insanity, different all the workouts in it. That shit can really help you. If you actually if you spend the money and actually do what it do, it can actually help you. But when it turns into a scheme, it's when you don't go through what is is supposed what it's intended for.
smoo: Well you you basically talking about like forex. Like forex is like, you know, it seemed like a scam, but it's actually some valuable core concepts in forex, yeah. Right.
3 god: Right. you you to me. It like you to me, like the where you can take the courses. That bit can be
Big Darrell: Yeah.
smoo: Mm-hmm.
3 god: a scam if you don't actually if if you're not gonna if you could hey I'm gonna advertise this damn this course for you to take it. Now it is up to you to it's self if self page, but if you don't wanna use it, shit, I'm still getting my money regardless.
smoo: I think that's what a but I think that's but I think that's what a problem is.
Wills On The Tank: That could be life school, that could be life school.
Big Darrell: But see the C C C but C thing that that that's a reputable source. What we talking about trusting somebody you don't really know background on, you don't really know if it's a reputable source. That's what that's where the issue comes far as like when you getting a consultation or when you going out on a limb, should I pay this person? 'Cause like like what we just established, it's a bunch of misinformation, a bunch of internet gurus. A bunch of niggas who ain't got certifications or got the qualification, they just read online, read AI and try to sell you a course, but they got the experience. That's where the issue come in too.
3 god: Doctor Doctor Diane,
Wills On The Tank: But that goes back to
3 god: ain't it?
Wills On The Tank: old girl that goes back to that conversation we had about old girl who don't got the certifications. obviously
3 god: Doctor Dahe. yeah, that's what I told me.
Wills On The Tank: they say obviously she doing something to get it. You know what saying? Like y'all remember that conversation.
smoo: Hey, I tell you one thing, I
Eric: Hmm.
smoo: tell you one thing, hey, she handled that shit the right way. Cause that hey, nigga, that them ca that that shit that was conversation were hot for one or two weeks. Shit gone.
Eric: Got on down. Yeah.
3 god: It tried to come back. I think Joe Button don't tried to it's something else didn't happen, but I think it kinda
smoo: She handled that shit. She handled that shit the right way. Shout out to her, man. Yep. Hey, great episode,
Wills On The Tank: water.
Big Darrell: huh.
3 god: Cheese 5 and 0, remember that.
