Fuck with you. I mean, he is essentially was the guy that to go back to the beginning of our conversation, took that whole thing of like, I'll just do it myself to the limit. Yeah.

He's real. Which is why like, I always get, I only think I get frustrated with like, I think sometimes what's scary about that, and it's so funny because I think about this all the time. I was talking to one of my friends who's a, who's a music exec, and we were just talking about when, when a lot of the big ones became evil, right? Like, yeah, because most like the, I feel like music figured out what we're trying to do, right? Like, well, musicians became the label owners. Like, the people who really love this shit. But then once they got whatever that other part of the power shit was, then that's when all the crazy shit started happening. It's like, damn. So I think about this shit all the time. I'm like, dang, I really don't want to become. I don't want to get whatever the secrets of being powerful is. Don't be evil. Don't be evil. But I guess it's very, It has to be. Yeah, it's like Star Wars, right? The dark as much as we look. I love Jedi. Well, Darth Vader and the dark side do look cooler as fuck. They don't give a fuck. They don't go by none of the goddamn Jedi rules. If I feel like choking this motherfucker for fucking up. Yeah what I'm gonna do. Yeah. And then hire the next person. That's some crazy shit. It is fucking dope. Vader chokes somebody like, you're nicks. And they go right to the new job. Knowing that he might choke them too. They don't. I think

that's what they're telling us too is that we each can be. Everybody has the opportunity to lean one way or the other, you know? You can be more Jedi mind -sided or you can just lean into the dark side, man. But

that's where the Jedi, I mean, we can get into a deep conversation about this. I'm a huge Star Wars fan. Yeah. But it's like, yo, y 'all, y 'all, you know, you're trying to tell people not to care about these people that murdered their mom or like, so they can't be angry about that shit, won't fuck them up. Where's the balance of the force in that? It's like either you don't do it, you say, man, it's okay. What? They killed my mama. And I got all this power and shit, I can't go fuck these people up. Don't make

no fucking sense. Real quick, MJ or LeBron, who's your favorite? MJ. I know.

Okay. Kendrick or Drake?

Kendrick.

Really? I didn't, you know, I just listened to that song for the first time. I didn't understand it. Which one? The Not Like Us. Oh, but you gotta listen to all the songs.

I think what Kendrick did that was beautiful, especially, I'm a hip hop fan, he just did every aspect of a rapper. He did a West Coast song, he did a Southern song, he did one of them songs that just got a sample playing and you just spitting. It was just like, dude, you just hip -hop. Like, who battled this dude who probably just walks around with a blanket in the studio in his house, kidnapped his energy. I told my brother, I said, I think he kidnapped his engineer. This guy's like, dude, I gotta go home to my fucking family. And it's like, Ken just like, no, I'm still making me, just showing up with a blanket. And he's like, spitting and walking out and going back to bed. And

you miss shit too in his lyric. Like you go back and you actually realize that there's more than just double meanings. He loves to fucking

rap. Yeah, he does. You don't battle somebody that just want to keep rapping. His raps are like the worst don't want to hang out, he don't want to fucking party. He just want to fuck a rap. Drake want to hang out and do shit and have a good time. He's like, you can do all that. I'm not going to stop rapping.

Yeah. What's your thoughts on TI? Because I remember I was with Snoop when TI wanted to challenge 50 and to the verses and TI said to 50, you are New York's Nelly. Damn. Do you remember that? Wow. I think that's what he said. I just remember it distinctly, because I remember Snoop's reaction to that was just like, oh, like it was just, it was, and TI is like, I ran into TI much bigger than you think. Physically bigger? Physically large, man. Like I was like, hi, I just thought he'd be like a smaller dude.

We worked out with T .I. We was doing vacation friends, the first one, like he would come pick up me and batch, King batch. Yeah. And yeah, we'll just, yeah, we'll go work out with him, man. Like he'll, T .I. runs Atlanta. Like he really, he really the king of that shit. Like for real, for real. Like it's...

I have a picture of me, T .I. and Tiny and Leanne. I have a fucking big gulp in my hand. So you don't post it? No. I didn't fucking realize.

You should do it now. Now that you said it. Wait, so you just randomly had a big gulp? I

was trying not to drink, but I need something to drink. Like I want, I like to drink. You just stopped at a gas station. I stopped at a gas station. I was like, I'm gonna get a big gulp. And I fucking got a big gulp. And I was like, can I get a picture? And he was like - We're posting it on this episode. Yeah, yeah, we'll post it. And he was like, I was, I geeked out. Like I said, I was a big, I still am a big hip hop fan, but I'm just more of a fan of like everything now a little more, but at the time, I think I geeked out. I think I freaked him out. So I was like, you know, we used to listen, I used to listen to your albums with my daughters. And he was like, really? And I was like, I was you don't know me. I was like, I used that song to talk to Ilo about bullying. I told the 85 South guys this. And they're like, that's not a bullying song. I said, kinda is. Cause like you say to a kid, they're saying stuff about you, but they don't know you. And if they see you in the streets, remember they don't know you. They don't know you. Yeah, and I remember Tia was like, this, it's about bullying. Sure. He's like, tiny, tiny, give me a hug. That dude is such a smart businessman.

Like, he owns so much real estate. Real estate, I saw that. I didn't know that. He's fucking smart, man. There's even just like, even the way he looks at entertainment and investing his own money. He's

just a smart guy. Yeah, I called him Tip. Yeah. Yeah, you like that? I was like, what's up, Tip? And he was like, okay. Everybody calls him Tip. I called, I called a big boy, Daddy Fat Sax. That's

a weird thing. That was weird. I called him off guard. Like Tip is what people call him. You don't just go, you were like, Hey, Daddy Fat Sax.

- I yelled it. I yelled it. I yelled it. Idiom, Idiom, man, daddy. Before. I yelled it at an airport. Daddy

Fat Sax.

I met him the day before and I was like, I'm a huge fan. And then I saw him again. And he was like, okay, I guess you really are a fan. I freaked out Trick Daddy. But I was like, you when you're a real fan of something and you listen to, when you really get into an album, you feel like you know them. Like I remember when I met Trick, I said, yo, what happened to Money Mark? And he was like, huh? He was like, that's really interesting. I just talked to him the other day for the first time in a little bit. I went, for real? He was like, yeah, we talked about Money Mark. like, it's crazy, because you get into something, and when you're really, like with Star Wars, like if you ran into Mark Hamill, I bet you'd have like a million things. And there's certain people who are generous with their time. Mark Hamill is very generous with his time. And he would, he'll indulge you in that moment. And big boy, T .I. Actually, I get weird when I see people that like, I'm like, especially like I'm

obsessed with Star Wars. So like I've seen Mark, I've seen, what's his name? Christianson, the one up there. Even Christianson? Yeah. And I could, I just looked at him.

Yeah. And

so. Well, cause your

brain also is like, where do I go? Where do I go? Cause I have nothing

else to do but fan the fuck out.

Yeah. I love fanning. You don't want to have no conversation with me about specific things. Yeah. Yeah. You're an

actor at the end of the day. Yeah. Like, I'm obsessed with George Lucas right now. Like, that's my, like, I've been watching - Take it general. It's people, it's certain people I'm scared. I'm gonna tear up what I beat. Buddy, but that's the coolest thing. It's Eddie Murphy. Oh, yeah. And it's George Lucas. Have you watched the movie Malcolm X when Malcolm X meet Elijah Mahambo the first time, he's emotional? That is how I'm gonna react to Eddie Murphy or George. Yeah, I can see that. I mean, like I'm so obsessed. I like so look up to them. It's so me. Like, it's just like, I'm gonna lose my shit.

Yeah. If you met Jordan, would you lose your shit? Mike Jordan? Yeah. Oh, I've met Mike. Oh, really?

I remember the first time I ever saw Mike and it was in a club. And every it was a club full of finance women. But when Michael Jordan walked in that motherfucker, every man in that club became a groupie. It was literally, so you saw the club shit from all the men just standing at Mike at VIP and just women standing by themselves. Hilarious. It was the crazy... In Chicago? In Chicago. And then where did you, did you meet him then or no? I met him, I ended up meeting him at a sports bar. I was able to speak to him and shit. How was it? don't know. I mean, I Guess if you might people always speak to you. Yeah, for sure. It's not like I'm a special. Hey Michael, you know, they like a funny man Oh, okay. Yeah, anyway, it's like Cool, man. Yeah,

that's why I got my lined up for Mike Jordan. I

got an interview. I want to interview Mike That's what I would have done. I do a last dance too. Hired me to be one of those random motherfuckers just in there, ask a question with a sheet of paper. Cause you heard the story, the last dance story, like you remember the episode where he's like, look, if you want to play like that, don't play like that. And he says break. They say that was the first fucking question they asked. Yeah, it was first day. First day, first question. didn't even talk about anybody taking a break. He just said that shit walked away and they was all just sitting there like, okay, is he coming back? Yeah. Because he was just like, break. Yeah. Like that's the first shit he said. Like that's why I skipped through the episode because I like watching that because I'm like, damn, that whatever the fuck they asked you. that one answer. Fired you up, yeah. He got emotional and had to take a walk about people not playing, they didn't even get it to the other shit yet. No. No Isaiah Thomas video. No Gary Payton talking shit about Gardner.

That shows you like how that mindset all, like he's, he

probably was holding that shit in

for decades. Decades? Yeah. What are you gonna say to Mike?

Go, okay, you be Michael Jordan, and then you introduce me to Michael Jordan. But give me like a, like blow me up a little bit.

Oh, hey Mike, oh Mike, what's up, good seeing you. Hey, this is my boy, Bert. I don't know if you see, have you seen a movie, The Machine? The what? Okay, great movie. Uh, Burt, Burt tours all over the country. He's hysterical, but outside of that, he's actually really, really good people, man.

That's good. All right. What's up, Brent? It's good to meet you,

man. What do you do? I said Burt. Oh, Burt. What do you do, Mike? Yeah, all right. Nice call. Did you guys grow up together? You know who else

got that energy like this? Charles Oakley. Yeah. Like that kind of - Yeah, like especially they together. Shit, man. Intimidating, right? 100%. Charles Oakley don't give a fuck. Yeah.

He's exactly who he is. Yeah, I just heard that story with it. Cuz you know, he was like a bruiser like in his playing days. He's still a bruiser. That's what they say. He was a coach on somewhere on some team and they're like he got into it with one of the players and he was like, I'll knock you and they're like, yo, man, you're a coach. You can't.
