The boys of Unquestionable are back, bringing stories from Hawaii, including strikes, strikes, and more strikes! Tune in as they reminisce about Kev's family trip, dive into the struggles of Hawaii’s minimum wage, and share their top party anthems. Plus, find out what it’s like to drink mojitos with a Hawaiian bartender!

I would go back, but shit, Disneyland, you're taxing with the twelve hundred dollars a night, bro. Twelve hundred a night, bro. That shit is insane, but I'm not going to lie.

I always say I'm not going to lie, bro. I never lie. I never lie.

What's up, everybody? We are back with another episode of Unquestionable, the podcast. I'm here with my boys, Chris, a.k.a. Siv, and then my boy Aaron, a.k.a. boy Bentley. What's happening? Yes, sir.

And, you know, this week, you know, we're back with another episode. You can see that, you know, it's just us three, you know, chilling in the crib and we're back, you know, trying to, you know, just get our weekly episodes in and stay consistent. Just just, you know, as a starter, like, comment, subscribe.

You know, hopefully everybody's been watching, tuning in and, you know, getting some great feedback as far as, you know, our episodes stay in the comments. You know, hopefully you guys are sharing and, you know, yeah. And we're back again with another episode.

How are you guys feeling, boys? Dude, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling great. Feeling good.

Yeah. Same. How are you doing, bro? You were gone last week.

You know, you're back in the mix. Yep. Hawaii boy.

You're looking a little darker. You got a little tan on, you know. Yes, sir.

Shit. Hawaii, man. That was a blast.

I definitely needed that. It was a whole entire trip with a straight refreshment. That's good.

Just refreshed, you know, just sitting on the beach, just looking at the, you know, the ocean and the sunsets and getting up early. Actually, I walked down and, you know, walked along the beach a couple of times and just looked at the sunset, just took it all in. And, you know, just in a like very secluded area.

I thought that was pretty cool. Just being in a area that's not like, cause I went to Oahu. I wasn't in Waikiki.

I was actually in Kapolei. It was pretty cool. It was very secluded.

Waikiki is kind of like more in the middle of it. I was more on the left side. If you're looking at on the map, I stood at the Alani resort.

That shit was pretty nice. It looked like a whole ass jungle up in there, bro. It was insane.

And you can tell everybody was just happy to be there. There's no crazy shit going on. But what actually is crazy is that Hawaii at Waikiki for a whole week before I got there, they were hosting a strike, like all the like hotels and like tourism and all that stuff, like all the hotels, they were on strike because of like workers' wages and them, yeah, like them not, you know, getting paid fairly enough and how, you know, all these hotels are profiting off of, you know, these Hawaiian people and just, you know, just the island in itself and just what it has to bring.

And they're not giving them enough money, you know, so they were on strike. But it was crazy because Disneyland operates as their own, you know, hotel, their own separate entity. So it was, you know, kind of crazy just to kind of hear that from like an Uber driver.

And he was telling me, yeah, like it's insane. Last week, I didn't even go into Waikiki because there's people trying to, you know, strike, holding up traffic and stuff and, you know, picketing and all that stuff. I was like, damn, I was not even aware of that.

Yeah. That's crazy. It was pretty crazy to hear about that.

I'm not going to lie. That's sad too though. Yeah, I know.

It's crazy. And one thing too, bro, I did not know that the minimum wage in Hawaii is $14. Yeah.

I did not know. And there's a lot of people who are getting paid less over there too. Like, I was like, shit.

No, what's crazy is it's way, way, way, way more expensive than everything. It's like, how do people even make a living out there? Bro, it's expensive out there to be in Hawaii. When my aunt lived out there, she had an apartment out there and I know, I don't know the exact specifics, but I know like if it was the equivalent here would be something crazier.

She used to just tell me that like, oh, it'd be a lot more if I was elsewhere. Yeah. But damn, bro, I enjoyed my trip.

I wish I was back sipping on the mega mojitos. Shout out to that bartender. You know, that me and that bartender was a dude.

Yeah. We were good friends by the end of the trip. Yeah, exactly.

He was like mega mojito. And I was like, yeah, running back. So you got away from the Hennessy for the trip? Yeah, I did.

Well, you know me? No. Well, they did at the ABC stores and stuff like that. ABC store right across the street from the Ilani.

And I was there pretty much every day just grabbing shit. Yeah. I thought he'd have a bottle of D'Ussé in his pineapple again or something.

Yeah. Back when we first went, I mean, I definitely poured the D'Ussé and the pineapple, but I did get a pineapple, but I didn't even take a picture of it. I just ordered a pineapple or a regular little pina colada or pineapple margarita inside of inside of a pineapple.

It was pretty cool. And, you know, just just chilling, drinking and shit. But I did drink some D'Ussé and I was pouring it in some of my drinks, you know, a little bit of it.

I was pouring tequila in some of my drinks, too. So I was, you know, just just enjoying it. Just enjoying life.

You know, that's good. But it was more of a family trip. You know, my sister got married.

It was a cool sight. You know, happy for my sister. She got married to somebody who she wants to, you know, spend the rest of her life with and got to enjoy some time with my nephew.

And he was a trip the whole time. And he was enjoying himself. He is crazy because he's only like one and a half.

And he like after the second, third day, he knew that he like we were going to like be at the beach or like at the ocean. He just kept saying like outside, outside. He's getting accustomed to being he's an outside baby already.

He's a little Hawaiian. But everybody had a blast. Just the food out there was cool.

The people out there, everybody, every single corner you turn, aloha, mahalo, like all the workers. It was just, you know, immaculate vibes, you know. What did you say? You guys hit a luau? Yeah, we did a luau.

Oh, vibes. We had we had an opportunity to go like on the glass boat and stuff like that. But everybody was kind of doing their own thing.

And, you know, I was out there with my family. I was going to go by myself, but having to like get there, Uber there, just show up by myself and just like, oh, yeah, I'm just going to be chilling on a boat by myself. Like, you know, I was just like, you know, I'll just, you know, chill with my family and shit like that.

So but how was how was the Alani like? I know we were talking about it last episode or whenever we talked about it maybe two episodes ago, but you were talking about how they might have like the Disney brunch or something. Did they have any Disney characters? How was it Disney? How was it related? They had the characters. So they only do so they have the characters walking around like Chip and Dale, Mickey, Minnie Mouse and shit.

And realistically, it's for the kids. And that's why, like, you know, we went. But my family is like very big Disney heads.

And my grandma's been to Disneyland. She can't even count on her, you know, hands how many times she's been. It's crazy because my grandma actually told me she went to Disneyland when they first opened up in 19.

That's crazy. Like that. It was insane.

Her, my her, my aunt, her sister, and they all went and they, you know, been Disney fans, Disney heads ever since. But it's it's pretty similar. I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the Disneyland, the Grand Hotel that's in Anaheim, the main hotel that like we talked about that one.

Yeah. You know, the Disneyland Grand, it's like that type of layout, like very big, very like oaky, you know, vibes and stuff and makes you feel like you're like camping or something like that. Oh, really? Yeah.

It's a it's a tailored more to like Hawaiian beach vibes and stuff. So it's like when you first get there, you walk in and then boom, there's like this big old like opening like you can see like the trees, the beach, everything. And it's pretty much like two tower, like one tower on this side, one tower on this side and the main tower on the middle.

So we stood on the suites, like the villas and stuff because my grandma had a timeshare. Yeah. So and we sit in a three suite timeshare, the villa.

And there was at least like how many beds? One, two, three, four, five, six, six beds up in there. Like, you know, and like there's like six glass, six glass doors like opening now. And our balcony was probably like it was like extended like an balcony.

That's crazy, bro. It was insane. But man, Hawaii had a blast and I'm glad that, you know, like I said, see my sister got married and it was just a great time with the family and shit like that.

I would go back, but shit, Disneyland, you taxing with the twelve hundred dollars a night, twelve hundred a night. That shit is insane. But when I you know, when I get my money up, I got family and shit.

So, you know, I will personally go back there just to experience it again. You know, it was it was fire. Yeah.

At least you got to experience it. That's dope. Yeah.

No. Yeah. Your dad, your dad was telling us when we picked up your stuff yesterday, he was saying, no.

Yeah, I was telling Kevin, you guys got to go on a boys trip there. I was like, yeah, yeah, we got to. We definitely got to.

Yeah. And we can split some rooms and shit like that because everybody get in their own room for a couple of days. That's a couple of thousand out the bank.

Yeah, I believe that. No, no. But we're glad you had a good time.

We missed you last episode, but I did miss everybody to move it on from that one. Let's jump right into a segment right off the bat. You know, this one's a fan favorite.

We're going to go back to the first episode and hit you guys with a little bit of a starting five start to five. So the first one starting five, we got to shout out our boy X rated. He gave us this one.

X-Men nine seven. Yes, sir. Starting five songs to get the party started.

K3, let's go. What's your top five songs to get the party started? I'm not going to lie. I would say I'm not going to lie, bro.

This might be a little explicit, but I'm not going to say it again. I'm not going to lie. But one song I always like, you know, walk into a party and, you know, you hear the Bay Area boom, boom, boom.

I beat up. You know, you walk to the party, you feel like a hundred thousand, you know, walk up in there. I like that song.

That's a good one. That was a good one. I'm not going to lie.

Let's see. I feel like the party start a second one that is probably on my top is probably let's see. Let's see here.

I'm drawing blanks already. I should have probably thought about this a little before. Shit, dude.

I feel like one party starter shit is probably some bait. Like I'm going to start referencing some Bay Area songs because they do it. Just do what you got to do.

Some Bay Area songs, dude. I'm drawing around, drawing a blank, bro. I got one.

I got one. Let's move it over. I got one, bro.

I got one. I'm sorry. You got your, you got your top five.

I'm going to go with Miss New Booty by Bubba Sparks. That's a good one. I'm going to go Ying Yang Twins.

I'm going to think probably get stupid. That was a good one. Okay.

And then another one would have to be something by Sage the Gemini, probably either Pitbull or Red Nose or... Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go Red Nose by Sage.

How many is that? Three? I think that's four. Wait, what'd you say? You said... I said the Ying Yang Twins. I said Miss New Booty.

Sage. I'm going to do... I'm going to do Fergalicious by Fergie. Okay.

Damn. And then I'm going to do... Damn, I'm going to do... Let me see. I'm going to say Who Booty is it by John Hart and I Am Sue.

That's a good one too. Okay. I've got to redeem myself, so I'll probably say Feeling Myself, Mac Dre, you know, get the party started right there.

Yeah. Let's see here. I think a third one, probably any, I would say any like, depends what area you're in.

Honestly, I would say like for like LA, like Bless the Bottle or something like that. You know, that's three. Shit.

Slapping some freaking, if you're in Sacramento or something, you got to slap some Mozzie or something. What song though? I would probably say, I don't know, probably like So For Real. Damn, I was going to say that one.

So For Real and dude, the fifth one. Haven't went, I don't even be partying like that no more. I would probably say, shit.

I don't know. I got four. I'll tell you what, if we had Matty B on here, he'd have them all.

I'm drawing blanks right now. I got the playlist on my phone, you know, being put on the spot like that. Yeah.

So for me, I'll go Shoreline Mafia, Musty. Oh, that's a crazy one. I'm going to go Musty.

That was, that was a slapper. I for sure got a hit for our East Bay days. Got a hit anti SOB.

Yeah. You know, that one got the party started. Or Calvin Cambridge actually.

But shit, one of that, that whole album will give that. Three, I was going to say Mack Drake, but I'm not going to say that because you did. What do I like? Let's say the, what's that song? Little Mama.

Show me how you move it. Shake that. Yeah.

Shake that. Yeah. Let's go shake that.

Was that three or four? Three. That was three. That was three.

Shit. You said so for real, which I was going to say. So I guess I got to hear Mike Sherm, asshole.

Obviously you could tell. That's your fifth? Northern California. No, that was fourth.

And then my fifth and final one has to be Shorty Shorty Bitch Way. Damn, that's a hard one. You got any more? Dude, I, I was, I cooked myself on this one.

Honorable mention. I didn't want to say this one. It was in my head the whole time, but I didn't want to say, uh, Obama with Shaq West.

That's a good one too. Yeah. It gives the party going, but it's just not my party going.

Like, you know what I'm saying? So I didn't want to say that one, but no, I got a few, got some few more. Do you guys have any? Um, back that ass up. Uh, genuine.

Oh no, that's not genuine. Juvenile. Juvenile.

Yeah. Yeah. Yes, sir.

Shit. We missed the whole South. Like, yeah, dude, we forgot 36 Mafia, bro.

Forgot about that. We forgot everybody. Um, the boy.

We forgot about Houston too, dude. We forgot about Houston. Yeah.

We forgot about a lot, but Hey, that's getting our party started. We were a little bit. Yeah.

No, I'm putting, I'm I'll, I'll play at all, dude. I love music. They're going to say, don't put Kev on the aux.

Hey, that's why we got to prep a little more guys. We just did it too quick. We didn't think about it.

Yeah. I was just quickly thinking of the party starters. Yeah.

Yeah. No, definitely. Just a straight, you know, the real ones.

No, but moving on from the songs to get the party started. The next one is going to be starting five TV binges, TV bingers. Let's start with boy beyond this one.

We'll give you a little time to breathe. All right. My, my top five bingers that I can, like my would have to be for sure.

Shameless is on there for sure. 70 show for sure. I'll be watching a lot of friends.

They don't lie. I love friends and friends. This is my baby.

He's doing born in two thousands. I was dude. I don't watch none of that new shit.

Shameless is pretty new. Don't get me wrong. What's another crazy one.

I watch binge and I'm binging right now. I don't really watch TV. So when I do, that's what I'm saying.

I just stick to my roots. King of Queens. My boy, uh, Kevin, James and Lira mini.

That's a good one. Okay. Um, my fifth one, dude, I'm gonna have to go fucking who I'll be watching like that.

Oh, I got to stick to my roots, bro. Modern family. I fucking love that shit.

All right. That's what, that's what my bingers right there. All right.

Kevin, you want to go or you need a little more time? You want me to go? I got it. I got it. Uh, I would probably say my number one is money heist.

That show is crazy. English one. No, it's in Spanish where they'd be robbing the banks and shit.

It's insane, bro. The mastermind, the, you know, the dude behind everything. It's makes you just think about it.

It's like the group of people. Yeah. It's like the red and like in the red.

That is a good one. Yeah. And then I'd probably say number two Ozarks.

You know, I never got into that. I never did. I do like Jason Bateman though, but I never got into it.

Dude, you guys definitely got to watch those. I like, you can't, you can't not get into it. I tried.

He knows I tried. We, when we lived together, he told me to try it. I tried, but it wasn't for me.

I don't like Jason Bateman. I'm also not a TV guy, but go ahead. Yeah, honestly.

I mean, that's the thing where I honestly don't really be watching that much TV. But when you're doing this good shit. Yeah.

Um, shit. I would say number three, I'd probably give number three is probably something along the lines of, I did watch this one recently. It's called Supercell.

It's actually pretty good. That's a binge. I watched that in like, you know, probably like the whole little day.

Supercell, you know, about the, the UK, the ends, you know, they got the superpowers. Yeah. Okay.

And then number four. Shit. What's a, what's a good OG one.

Um, this is like a world history one. This is a binge. This is like an OG one.

It's called Marco Polo about like Genghis Khan. I've seen that one. Yeah.

I was on that one for a while. And then shit. I would probably say the office.

I'd probably say the office. I was going to say the office. Well, I'm gonna start off hot.

You know, it was my favorite in college. Okay. Stop fucking up.

Wu-Tang. Yeah. I didn't finish it, but I watched it.

Yeah. That one was number one for me. Um, moving on from that, I'd say number two is those untold documentaries, you know, like the hockey team, like the Hulu specials.

Well, no, the Netflix ones, but it's like an untold documentary series. And it just basically does a bunch of untold stories from sports history. Uh, super dope.

You know, me, I love 30 after 30. Yeah. It's that type of vibe.

Um, so that, that was two, right. Uh, when it came out, I couldn't stop watching it. Top boy.

I was fucking, I watched it all. Um, BMS got to go to my roots as a kid. I loved blue mountain state.

Um, and then shit. Everybody want to be, what's his name? What was it? Alex, what Alex, the quarterback's name? What are you, which one are you talking about? No, everybody wanted to be that cast. What you talking about? Everybody didn't want to be that, but Alex, he was, he was just, what was his name? Oh, but yeah, he was cool too.

No, definitely. But, uh, and then moving on from that, my last one shit. Hmm.

Damn. I, I just blanked cause I had it. And then I just started thinking when you're on the, when you're on the spot, when you're on the spot.

No, no, I dead ass just had it. I dead ass just had it. Uh, the office is cool.

I guess I'll just go with the office or something. But no, there was one I had bro. Ballers, ballers, ballers a lot.

Obviously a lot of 50 cents shit is cool. I like watching. Oh yeah.

I was going to say power and all that. But the reason I picked ballers over that is cause I obviously wanted to get into representation. Yeah, you did.

So I was like that, that was always super cool. It was super cool in, in, in college watching that being like, damn, that's what I want to do one day. So I'll go ballers.

That'll be Washington in there. So moving on from TV binges, the last and final starting five is going to be NorCal artists slash rappers. You know, we're a Northern California based platform.

We got to show some love to Northern California. Yeah. Kev, let's hear your starting five.

Let's see for Northern California. Number one, I'm going to put Mozzy on there, you know, Mozzy member. Can't forget the Moz, you know, well, I was going to start, well, these are like, well, it's Northern California.

I'm not going to go into Bay Area rap. Like, you know, cause I mean, it could be any Northern California, like any Northern California. Yeah.

Okay. So, and then no Bay Area rappers count. No, that is Northern California.

It's still just not Southern California. Northern California. I would say West coast if it was all West coast, but no, I want it to be Northern California.

So just anything, anything North of Sacramento is not the Bay Area. Anything damn near North of, you know, Fresno, Bakersfield, whatever you want to call it. Number two, I'm going to shout out my boy Rex Life Raj.

You know, can't forget the Rexy. Three, Larry June. Let's see, four, I'm probably going to go with I am Sue.

I don't know. I'm just going like staple legends, you know, literally has my exact starting five damn near. Let's see.

And then shit. Number five, I'm going to go with my boy, Lil Ye. That's fake, bro.

You literally took the whole thing from me. He took the whole thing from me. But if I'm, if I'm trying not to take too much of what Kev said, I have to put Raj.

Rex Life Raj has been like low-key one of my favorite artists since like I was like young, like high school type shit. I've been jogging. I've been jogging.

I've been jogging. I fucked with Rex so much. So I got to put him up there.

Larry, you got to, it's commendable what he's doing. Even just the business shit he got going on. Larry, you got to put him up there.

He's up there. I'm going to put Bean up there, bro. Bean's work ethic has been, you know, tough.

So I got, I'm going to put Bean up there instead of Mozzie because you took that one from me. Ye, I have to, I have to put Ye in there because Ye got, bro, Ye got the talent. He got the talent.

You need, bro, Ye. Yeah, Ye dope. Fuck with us if you flippin' with Ye.

For real, for real, Ye dope, bro. You got to drop as much as possible. We know more than two songs, Ye.

For real, for real. We're not, we're not, no Kevin. I'm just kidding.

No, Kev, listen, Kev, listen. Ye, I listen to Ye. No, he's dope, he's dope.

My last one I wanted to say, I Am Sue, obviously. He's, he's done, done a lot for the Bay Area, but if I'm staying away from I Am Sue, I'm going to show a little bit of love to, you know. Let him know.

Who should I show some love to? I'm trying to keep it different. Chris always wanted to be different, goddammit. Fuck it, I'm sticking with I Am Sue, actually.

I'm going to stick with I Am Sue because I wanted to be a legend. I was going to say some E-40 shit or something like that, but. E-40, you're lying, now you're just lying.

No, I was, but I Am Sue, the thing is, is E-40 for sure, Bay Area legend, but I Am Sue just to me was super impactful because that was like million dollar afro and all that was like in my form, formidable years. So it's like I really, I really rocked with a lot of that shit, like kill one, two and three, like all that shit, bro. We were steady slapping it, so.

I remember I got the HBK shirt too, brought on the HBK gear. HBK was crazy, yeah. Yeah, HBK was a movement back in the day, honestly.

And what about you? What about you, boy B? You got to finish it off with your starting five. My top five E's, let's see, NorCal. I don't really listen to a lot of those guys like that, but for one, I'm going to give it to Kehlani for sure because I love her.

Okay. And I wholeheartedly do listen to her. I'm going to go Lil Ye because I wholeheartedly do listen to Ye.

Bean as well because I also wholeheartedly listen to Bean. I'm going to go 23PZ too. He's the one, he's not too big, but he's out there.

He's hard. Who else? How many is that, three? Yep. I'm going to get Lil P too.

Lil P go hard too. He's a fucking Bay Area legend too. Damn, there's too many of them, bro, because I want to say them all.

You just need one more, bro. That's crazy. I'm going to have to go, damn, I'm going to have to go, my boy, 22nd Jim.

22nd, that's who I forgot, that's who I forgot, damn, I would have said Jim for sure. But shout out Capolo, shout out Yada, shout out fucking all of them, dude. Those dudes are just doing it for sure.

Capolo, Yada, all of them, bro. And Sacramento, we got to show more love to Sacramento. The Mozzie members, I fuck with them.

The CMLers, I fuck with them, but I ain't listen to them crazy, you know, but I love them all. They all got good music. They're all doing their thing for sure.

Everybody got music out here. Even the up-and-comers too. We don't know them all, but I'm hearing them.

The buzz is coming. Buzz is coming. Sacramento buzz is coming for sure.

Sacramento is going to take off even more than what it is right now, so no, for sure, for sure. You're seeing a bigger movement. Yeah, dude, even shout out the boy Bucci and the boys out there, dude.

They're doing a great thing for sure. Bucci doing his thing. Hey, Bucci's on my top five, my number one.

Yeah, them songs is a rotation for sure. Maybe top ten for Bucci. But moving on from starting five, we're going to get right into it, guys.

Shit, we were talking about it right now. I am suing his... His track record? ...impact just on everything and HBK as a whole. Honestly, me and Aaron were talking about it the other day.

He didn't even realize Kehlani was part of HBK. I didn't know that, yeah. And you see P-Lo and all these people and what they're doing now.

His Jay Anthony, he's totally kind of remorphed his sound. And you just see how a lot of these kids that we grew up looking at as like, they were just cool and creative and shit. Like, you know, they didn't try to be nothing but what they were.

You know, Sage, a lot of those kids. And they popped off just... ...doing some dope shit. Just being creative and just kind of pushing their movement and their collective creativity and shit.

And it's super dope to see. Obviously, that was a huge, huge influence for us when we were moving up. And like, I mean, growing up and trying to do like our little cruise and even the question mark and everything was based off that heart.

But even like watching them, though, you could really see like the... ...their roots of like where they really came from. Like they for sure are Bay... Like that's the Bay Area sound. Like they really like impacted the sound and turned it into what it was that they were doing.

You know what I'm saying? Like they really put a staple on for themselves that way. The thing people weren't realizing is like how creative these dudes were. They were producing their own shit.

They were writing their shit. They were crazy. Like P-Lo, Iamsu, all these guys, they were producing bigger songs before they were even rapping on them.

And then when Iamsu made that, you know, big, big motion with YG and Problem back in the day, that was crazy. You see him produce a bunch of beats for those type of artists and shit. And they really just influenced the West Coast as a whole.

And sometimes I just feel like, you know, our people at HBK, they just ain't getting the love they deserve, man. I know, you see Iamsu still like... He's still coming out with music and nobody's talking about it. And you just can't forget about the influential song, bro.

I love my squad, bro. I love my squad, wherever I go. Those mixtapes, those mixtapes were sick.

He had a song with Tank on his mixtape. Me and Kev used to slap that shit every day to school. Like, yeah, we were like in freshman year, just like slapping that shit every day, bro.

He was fucking, he was just... Big Dredge just said, what's up? I was like, what's happening? Iamsu got a good resume, bro. I'm not talking a lie. He definitely is a big influence on Bay Area culture, Bay Area music.

And, you know, just an innovator as far as, you know, just rapping, producing your own music and just getting in front of the mud, you know? Yeah. And just his artistry and all of their artistry as a whole, like just to be able to embrace, you know, being a little different. Like Sage at the time, obviously he wasn't like a partier or nothing.

He was, he was just like super into music and shit. And all these guys basically explained it as like, fuck, we just did hell of music together. And like, really just that creativity flowing from Showbanger, Iamsu, you know, Dave Steves, like all these people, well Problem wasn't at HBK, but you know, P-Lo, like just everybody, Kehlani, like all, they had a whole movement just going on crazy.

And they were super impactful to even where we were in Sacramento area, you know? So it's like, just to see how, how much they like kind of impacted even our taste and our thoughts on shit. Like they were damn near the West Coast, like, I know this is a reach, but they were the West Coast ASAP, but you know, it's something like a group, not exactly like that, but I'm just trying to get a group collective that you could like, you could try to be a part of and like claim, like, you know, I'm, I'm heartbreak gang. Like, you know how many people were, had it all over their Twitters or their whatever.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's like, that's how it was for ASAP. And they had like their own aesthetic too, to where like you could just copy their swag if you wanted to be a part of them.

Or you could kind of bite it in a sense. It's the same thing. Like they were originators.

Yeah. How they were moving. Yeah, for sure.

Yeah, for sure. And then just, yeah, I don't know, just to see how it. Yeah.

They were like the, one of like the first ones to do it out of the bay, huh? Yeah. And just, no, no, obviously you got people doing it big since MC Hammer, you know what I'm saying? But like for like, I guess our gen, like what we saw, you know, our generation. They for sure.

Yeah. They for sure. Like we're trailblazing their own way in a sense, especially because like even thinking about how many of them branched off and did their own thing.

I mean, you look at P-Lo, he's, he's great as a rapper, but also he has huge records. You know what I'm saying? She's done great and has huge records. They were working with like even the G-Eazy's back in the day and all these guys.

And just look at how many huge records came from even Bay Area, just in that, like that little era. It's just, it's just crazy. The Pink Dolphin era was, was different.

The Pink Dolphin era. It was crazy. Dog, I remember everybody used to be rocking the Pink Dolphin shirts.

I had every, every one of them. Those used to be expensive shirts back in the day. If you were a Pink Dolphin, you were wanted, bro.

And once you saw them in the malls, it was over. Once in a while you could start buying them at Mainland and Zoomies and shit. That's what happened to a lot of those brands too.

It was like, they were all at the little boutiques and then once they hit the malls, it was over for them. Nah, yeah. And you used to have to go to like, people would try to go to the Pink Dolphin store and get an SF to try to get certain drops and shit.

And then all of a sudden you're just seeing it all at Zoomies. Oh yeah, for sure. Just became flooded.

The whole SF scene, like. Did the same thing, yeah, with everybody, right? Yeah. Like say, like Diamond Supply Co., they're out of SF.

And I remember when they were like in the boutiques and all that, like early skateboarder days, like for me. Yeah. And then like, as I got older and got older, I just saw how big it was getting and how commercial it was getting.

But it's funny cause as they do better, the accessibility grows. And as the accessibility grows, the demand lessens because people are like, uh, I don't want it. Like Black Scale, Pink Dolphin, all of them.

Yeah, they all, yeah. Speaking of ASAP, Black Scale, bro. ASAP had Black Scale poppin' until you could see that PacSun.

And then I was like, bro, all right, I'm not wearing it no more. That's what, yeah, that's what I'm saying. Cause I remember I had the one hoodie, I don't know, I had a crew neck and it was cool until the next winter.

It was everywhere. Everybody had a Black Scale. Well, then he blew up though.

He blew up crazy. He had 2 Chainz and Kendrick on the song and it was over. Which happens though.

What are you going to do? It happens, man. Yeah. But yeah, you just see.

You can't gate keep everything. Exactly. And you just see the impact and the influence of these type of movements have had on the area.

And that's like a local movement to us. Like, that's what I'm saying. Like HBK was like something you had to know about really, like being from the area, you had to like know about them.

And then. Exactly. Cause then once you did find out about them, they were, they were already huge, you know? Yeah.

And then you're like, oh shit, how did I miss that? All these songs from all, you know what I'm saying? And it's cool when you're like the first few fans to like really be a part of that group. Like that's always cool too. That's why we didn't even bring up Kool John and their, their movie, their old movie, uh, shit, uh, their old mixtape.

They just did a new one and they're about to go on tour. Kool John and P-Lo and shit like that. But I'm telling you, HBK needs their flowers.

Somebody needs to cash out and do a big, you know, Chase Center HBK concert. Do like a Kendrick, you know, do a Kendrick, a Kendrick and friends, but an HBK and friends, do an IMC and friends. They just made all the bae out.

We need it. We need it. All of North Carolina.

Remember when I was trying to get you to go IM Summer and you're like, oh no, I'm not going to go. No, I'm not going to go. Is that his festival or what? Yeah.

He did the IM Summer at, uh, what's that shit called? Great America or some shit. Oh, right on. Yeah.

And he like sold it out or some shit, but yeah. The iconicness bro of HBK and just their influence, them being pioneers and just looking back on it, it's just insane because the influence that they have on like the West Coast and the Bay Area is like insane. If you really think about it, right.

At least for our generation. You know, we're not speaking from a generation that's above. Obviously we know Too Short, E-40.

Oh yeah, they're those boys. The people above us obviously plays the way, but we're just talking. The fizz movement.

Exactly. We're just talking, you know, a movement that directly impacted us in middle school. Like that shit was the coolest thing you could be a part of in middle school.

I swear to God. Yeah. HBK, they were dope, bro.

I'm bringing them back. I'm telling you, we need that. We need that Kendrick and, uh, Kendrick and friends.

HBK. HBK. HBK and homies tour.

Shit. And then getting into high school, like, you know, getting into that. Then Kendrick was popping, you know, Kendrick Lamar was popping for a second.

But you know, it's crazy, bro. Kendrick Lamar, headline Super Bowl next year. That's crazy.

Insane, bro. I don't know why they disrespect Lil Wayne like that, huh? I know, bro. But then what? Then what Wayne? How do they already choose somebody for the show? Is that how it always is? Yeah, that's how it always is.

They just kind of have somebody come out. It's always announced at the beginning of the season. Yeah.

All right. Even Rihanna was announced at the beginning of the season. It's like something that they try to, like, kind of build that hype for that Super Bowl with their halftime performance.

But basically what they say happens is, you know, they tried to get Rihanna or they tried to get somebody to perform or somebody. They said no. So then they did their own thing.

Got, I think, Maroon 5 or something. It was a crash. It was horrible.

So the NFL goes back to Jay-Z and says, hey, man, we need your help. Jay-Z comes to the rescue. Fuck Jay-Z.

Gets Rihanna for the halftime show. Fuck that guy. You know, and now he's in charge of this and he was responsible for this.

Yeah. Kendrick being a part of the halftime show. Is Kendrick part of title or anything like that? Is he? No, he's PG Lang.

He's his own entity. But there is some controversy stirring up because of. It being in New Orleans right now or the Super Bowl being in New Orleans.

They didn't get the King out there. They didn't get the King out there. They didn't get the boy LaWayne out of Louisiana.

And the worst part is, too, they're trying to say this is fueled from the Jay-Z. Jay-Z's animosity for Drake and other people because he's obviously championing Kendrick at a point that's so pivotal. And this is obviously.

Man, Jay-Z's an old ass motherfucker, bro. Yeah. And he's pushing this moment.

Like this moment has already been so impactful. This not like us moment. You see how big it was, how many eyes are on it.

It's already been so impactful. Jay-Z just pushed that shit to the next level by doing that. How do you guys feel about that? Is he stirring it up or what? What's going on, man? Honestly, I look at it as like, you know, there there's always some shit going on in the background.

But once it gets brought out to light, you start thinking about it. And it's like, damn, bro, is he really? Is he really like doing that, bro? Like, are the rumors true? Like, is he really just hating because of his animosity towards Drake and just like, dude, I just really don't fuck with the kid, Drake. Like, you know, and I heard.

Well, I did see fact check me, correct me if this is wrong, but I guess Drake has turned down multiple offers to do Super Bowl a couple of times now, I guess. I don't know about that. I'm not sure, but that's what I did see.

But if you really think about it, like Drake probably has had the opportunity at least once or twice to say, hey, do you want to do the Super Bowl? But I'm not sure. But I would think so that Drake would be like, hmm, or yeah, let's do it. So given if he had that opportunity, I think that he probably would.

And honestly, I think that he probably would like just at his scope in the way that he's like his, you know, direction, his influence that he has now, I wouldn't be surprised if he would do it. But just getting the whole entire Kendrick in the Drake beef, if Kendrick Lamar did it first, I don't think that he's probably going to do Super Bowl. Not at this point.

The thing is, is I don't want to I don't want to discredit Kendrick as well, because you have to think Kendrick's coming off of a tour that broke records for touring ticket sales. He obviously is a generational talent. He obviously has all the hits in the world to do a Super Bowl.

I think it, in my opinion, that shit was insane. You heard Not Like Us on every platform, every song, every radio. Hearing it everywhere.

And now you're going to hear it on live TV in the middle of the Super Bowl. The whole nation watching this. The whole world calling Drake a pedophile.

Yeah, that's insane, bro. You know what I'm saying? That's going to be a moment. You know what I'm saying? Like how serious that is.

And I don't want to I don't want to discredit him by saying like he didn't earn that or because he really did. And the NFL is lucky to get him to be that, you know, halftime performer. But they capitalize on that, bro.

But the thing is, is just the timing and everything. It's insane. It looks like there should be some speculation.

It's like, what are the motives? What are the motives behind that? Yeah, because who knows? Like next year, that song is going to be dead. It makes you think like, because, you know, in Super Bowl, who are they going to bring out? Like who's Kendrick going to bring out? Yeah. Like, you know how he has like songs.

I mean, Rihanna already performed last year, so you can't bring her out and perform the Loyalty song, you know? And everybody would love for him to bring out Lil Wayne. But would Lil Wayne even do that shit after getting snubbed and knowing that there's animosity between him and Drake? Lil Wayne feels though? Has it came out Lil Wayne feels a type of way or? No, it hasn't came out. His manager said something.

Yeah, I think he tweeted some shit, like always. You know him, he's tweeting shit. I mean, Weezy F, baby, he's, you know, he's a legend.

I personally have never. Yeah, he's the GOAT to me. You've seen Lil Wayne in concert, right? Or no? No.

I should have. I should have. He was at Rolling Loud when we were watching, but a certain somebody wanted to watch somebody else.

I was just thinking, bro, like just imagine, just imagine, just imagine like hearing the Lil Wayne performance for the Super Bowl. Like people would either love it or people would absolutely hate it. Like there would probably be some like 50 50 feelings about Lil Wayne like being on the Super Bowl.

So if you think about an entertainment like factor like Kendrick Lamar, that's probably why they picked him because like he could, you know, he has his like, you know, cinematic, you know, features, you know, his every single little thing that he kind of does on his tours is like, you know, very in-depth thought about, you know, well, he's got the light on him right now for sure. I like this whole entire Drake and, you know, Kendrick speculation and beef and stuff like that is really kind of like, if you really think back on it, the beef, you know, picking between the two, it kind of like, it's like moving you towards somebody like, you know, I'm kind of moving towards Drake, but then as soon as not like as soon as, but Kendrick getting, you know, headline for the Super Bowl. I was like, damn, like Kendrick, like really got his shit like on lock to the not like us being performed in front of millions of viewers and shit, dude.

Oh, my God. People are going to be going up for that song. It's going to be insane.

And then like the thing is, is could they try to break the Internet and do something out of pocket, like bring out a little Wayne behind the scenes like on some business shit like, hey, this is going to break the Internet or even, you know, pull a Kanye and Drake shit where they like come together and act all cool. I don't think they could. I don't think they ever would.

I don't think that that's possible at this point. But I'm just saying, like, how far will they go for entertainment at this at this time? If they're going to let if they're going to let if they're going to let Kendrick perform not like us, that's that's crazy. But imagine, too, I can kind of see a commercial just drop in a few months before the Super Bowl and you just it's Weezy and Kendrick just had an agreement or something, you know, just the commercial.

And it's like, hey, you know, you know, if they did it deeper than that, it's too deep at this point. I know it's deeper than that. There's no way that it'll ever happen.

But at that point, if it ever did, hypothetically speaking, it'd probably be secretive. It'll be secretive and then try to be the last like because think about when Eminem did it, right. Eminem kept it pretty secret, didn't he? That all those people were jumping out like the 50 Cent, 50 Cent come out and all that and Game was mad he didn't get the call.

They would do it that way because that's the only way to break the Internet. I could see something like that where maybe Kendrick brings out Game. I mean, he's probably going to try to bring out a lot of people from some L.A. people.

I wouldn't be surprised if he brings out Baby Keem or some shit like, you know, like there's that. Who knows, though? Yeah. For me.

I don't know. That's what I'm saying. Being in Louisiana, you would think he brings out somebody from Louisiana, but maybe he brings out TDE.

And that's what I'm saying. As soon as it comes out. Yeah, exactly.

Maybe school, maybe Black Hippie makes a return. No, they never do that. But that would be so sick.

Don't do that. Yeah, we're talking from fan perspectives, not from reality at this point. I know.

Who knows? But yeah, Kendrick Lamar headlined the Super Bowl. Just the movement, the movement of just the whole beef. And then now he's headlining and it's looking it's looking rough on Drake's Drake's part right now.

But as far as like beef goes, I think that it's insane. Kendrick Lamar, I think it's going to be a good show, regardless of all this shit going on. I think it's going to be cool.

Last thing to ask you guys on the Kendrick Lamar topic. Can Drake come back? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. I think it's a randomness. I think everybody knows he can't come back.

But how do you guys think it's coming back? How do you think he has to? Do you think it has to be like album hit feature? What is it like? Because he's already dropped features. He's done. Yeah.

I mean, joke songs. Realistically, I think all his, you know, accolades speak for itself, bro. I think his streaming numbers, I think everything that you look, you can look up.

I think it can definitely speak for itself. But to answer your question, it's looking like kind of like, damn, what is like, you know, what is he going to do? Like how how, so to speak, is he going to come back? Like, you know, I mean, Super Bowl is like one of the biggest events like, you know, and what are you going to do? Like, oh, perform at the World Cup or some shit like I don't know. As far as like coming back, I think that Drake will still be OK.

It's just either you like him or you don't. But as far as like an entertainment perspective, bro, I honestly don't know how you could possibly come back and just like I don't top the Super Bowl. I think there is ways they're probably, you know, all of this, you know, squad, everything, everybody in his crew is probably thinking of like, you know, like, you know, snacks type of thing and thinking about it, putting it into a plan of action.

Yeah, yeah. So I honestly do not know. I think do not know.

Yeah. Entertainment wise, that's going to be tough for the Super Bowl. Are you talking? But I think because I don't think he's not going to still keep getting the deals to come out and perform and do his thing.

Yeah. All the shows he sells out. Yeah, yeah.

But the Super Bowl, that's like you say, that is crazy. But I think when he comes back, it's going to gradually just be brushed under the rug of what happened with the whole Kendrick deal. And yeah, the hits are coming.

The fucking album's coming. The fans are fucking still there. They're still waiting for his ass to drop.

You think it's going to be more of like a passive just like time will pass. And then he's just because we all know he's going to drop something that's going to chart again. Like I'm not saying every time he's gone into some deals, like even with the Pusha T shit, Pusha T was barking on Barkingham and Drake just didn't come back with that.

He didn't drop that. Back to back. Yeah, he didn't drop it.

You know, he didn't drop the next song. So it kind of brushed under the rug. And now where are we at? You know? Yeah.

And what he's done from there to now, it's like now he's kind of the same boat. This one's a little bigger for sure. And yeah, it was way bigger scale.

It was a bigger opponent. Exactly. It was on a grander scale.

Exactly. Because the Pusha T thing was. And a grander audience.

You know what I'm saying? It was, it was, I mean, he did damage, exposed the kid and all that. Kanye was involved too. The Cole-Kanye and him thing too was pretty big, but this was fucking.

I mean, think about the Pusha T when Duppy Freestyle and all that shit was coming out. It was still SoundCloud. Like it was on SoundCloud.

These were dropped on distribution sites, guys. You realize how big that is? They were trying to make money off hating each other. They dropped money in to get money out for sure.

Like that was. So that's what I'm saying. It's going to be, it's going to be crazy to see what he does.

Both bros dropped like five or six diss tracks just back to back to back. Just like one day Kendrick, next day Drake, one day Kendrick, two days Drake, two days Kendrick. Not even, not even cover art, dude.

Just a straight up fucking screenshot of the. Yeah, that's right. I love it out there.

Just get it out. Hip hop's back. You know what I'm saying? That's what it was.

Hip hop is back. In full swing effect. Motherfuckers need to rap again.

Yeah. Don't be killing nobody, but start spitting. It's making people rap again.

You're seeing, especially with the, on the radars and everything, people are starting to rap. And that's what I'm liking to see, you know, and that's what is making me happy. And then seeing Lil Yachty and people start doing songs with YG on West Coast beats.

It's showing that this is not like us. It's bringing the West Coast back to that mainstream feel. You're seeing people in different states.

Crip walking does not like us. It's like, shit, the West is back. Come on.

They're saying Tupac back. Somebody got to take it to the next level though. Cause where's, where's, where's, where's, where's, where's.

I'm not going to lie, unpopular opinion. I do wish that J Cole would have got into the beef. Yeah, I wish he would have backed out.

I wish he would have stuck with it. I wish he would have backed out. And it's like, bro, it's a whole entire another perspective.

It's a whole entire another perspective. Not just the Drake shit. It's a whole entire another, like all of the shit that J Cole could have possibly had on Kendrick.

All the shit that could have been unearthed even more besides the Drake shit. Like I wish that also would have came out. But you know, J Cole, he's a peaceful artist and he just wanted to stay out the loop.

You know, he's doing his fall off album and stuff. And one of his last albums he's going to drop. But it's just crazy to think about the perspective and the movement and the shift that it could have been if it was a 2v1 almost.

No, bro, you got to think about it. It would have been worse just because of the fact that like J Cole has his own set of skills. Like, yeah, Drake has a set of skills.

Kendrick has a set of skills. J Cole has his own set of skills. They all have these different skills, obviously.

But fuck, to see like his storytelling put into play and something like that. It's just, you know, you've seen shots taken or whatever, but you've never seen a head to head. Yeah.

Like Cole on somebody like really. You've seen Drake do it, you know what I'm saying? But you've never seen him just like, you know, teeth out growling at a motherfucker. And it's like, I wanted to see that.

I wanted to see how that pen gets when it's like that way. But he didn't want to fuck with the real hip hop fans. He wasn't fucking with us.

Yeah, he wanted to maintain his image. He could have texted the sari after. Cole, text the sari after.

Who knows what could have really happened? Yeah, because I don't know. Who knows? There has to be stuff behind the scenes, obviously, but as a fan, you want it. Yeah.

Because who knows who Kendrick would have been feeding into more, if he was going to feed into more Drake or Cole, you know? And even when Kendrick was saying shit to J.Cole, he was making little bars about like, oh, how Drake did you wrong type shit. It's like, yeah, there's some shit probably to unpack with that. Like there's probably, you know what I'm saying? So would J.Cole and Drake twist on each other? That's what I'm trying to say.

You know, Battle Royale, Hunger Games of Rap, you know? That's crazy. Big Sean can hate from outside the club. I know Big Sean dropped the album.

Not moving the needle at all. Oh, fuck with you, Sean. You're very talented, dawg.

You're just not top three. You're just not big three. You're just known for being Jenny Aiko's baby mama now.

Baby daddy. Oh, baby daddy, my bad. Baby mama.

Damn. But yeah, dude, definitely. You did have some flabbers back in the day, but just not anymore.

Fuck, dude. Yeah, but moving on, moving on from Kendrick, what you got for us? For our last topic, man, for the last topic. Let's see.

We got reality TV, man, because I don't watch a lot of TV, but I've just been hooked. Recently, because it's the talk of the town right now is Love Island USA right now. And I usually don't get into reality TV like that because I find it annoying.

I just hate getting involved with other people's lives like that. Yeah, but this one somehow, some way just got me hooked. And I was just like, dump that bitch.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I was just really into it. Which one? Which one? Love Island? Love Island USA. This season six right now.

And I just been so hooked on it from day one. And then I just watched the reunion when it dropped the last month. And it's still like buzzing.

It's just still on TikTok. It's still like all over the place. Those reality, those stars that got like the big break and the one, the money, the ones that didn't win the money even got like publicity with like the Instagram followers and shit.

They, some of them hit three mil, some of them hit a mil. Like that's big shit. I see them all on podcasts, all on Dunkin Donuts.

They're all, yeah, doing their thing now, talking all their shit. And, uh, but like one thing about it too, is some of them are explaining their experiences that they had, like not the, the so, the so fun part of it. They came home kind of depressed and dealing with shit and like that.

And they even say on TikTok, like they, cause they make the videos. They say how due to whatever agreement that they made with Love Island, they can't speak really on like how their depression has came from the show and shit like that. They just kind of got to embrace, like deal with it in their own way, but without like blaming Love Island.

And I just was like, damn, that's a little crazy. And I guess Love Island isn't really helping them either with the, whatever it is, like they need the medication or the people to see the doctors and all that. And I guess come to find out there's already been two contestants from the previous seasons that have already killed themselves.

Dude, they just couldn't take it. All the publicity they got or whatever it was, they hate. However it was, they came home to like, whatever it was that they came home to and couldn't do it.

Like they just, it was a whole different twist on life for them coming back. You might not even know that. Well, that's, that's the thing though, is because they, I, I'm assuming, I don't, I don't obviously know, but I'm assuming that they have to sign some type of contractor NDA non-disclosure agreement that has to, you know, they're, they know what they're signing up for.

They're signing up for reality TV. There still has to be entertainment. There still has to be a narrative in a story going, line going on.

So they're probably signing a contract saying, Hey, I consent to whatever narrative, you know, Love Island puts out there of me. Yeah. Now their actions, they could have been drunk.

They could have been done with the wrong person and just playing games or whatever. But however, Love Island chooses to portray that to the public, they can make you look messy. They can make you look very supportive.

They can make you look like a two-faced person. You know what I'm saying? And you sign up for all of that because there's cameras everywhere and you're not, you're not getting to say, Oh, I signed off on this part of the shooting, but not this part. You're signing off to the whole experience.

And if you fuck up or anything like. It's out there. Everybody knows what you done did and all that.

And they also don't have like no way to like communicate without the outside world. So while you're on live TV, everyone's just tweeting about you're doing this and saying this about you. And they come home once they get off the island and off the show, they get all their shit back and they sign into their Twitters and Instagrams and just see like whatever it was about them.

And I guess some of them, some for some of them, it was too much. They couldn't do it. And so was it, was it truly the reality TV that got you into it or was it a specific person on there? It was so much.

It was like, yeah, for sure. The Islanders were bad. The women, the women were bad.

We know the truth. The women were bad. I am trying for sure.

We'll be on season seven for sure. But like that's what I'm saying. It was just cool to see.

And just the fact that they were just these young motherfuckers out there trying to find love in like the dumbest way. But it was just like funny for me to just, I just got involved and I was like, all right, all right. But when you, when you look at it from like a realistic standpoint, though, like we've all been on like, say group trips where you had a group of guy friends and a group of girlfriends and you know how messy that could get just because of the drinking and all this.

Imagine that for like three fucking weeks, bro. Imagine the shit that's going to happen. And then imagine how the TV gets to twist it in their favor to make it look more fun.

And another thing is they'll use vocal chops from other conversations to make these conversations look more juicy or more intriguing. So sometimes people just can't probably handle for sure the character that was portrayed out of them because now they have that stigma for the rest of their life. And it's like, bro, it was a drunk three weeks.

I was having the most fun of my life. You're like find love. And then when you do find your partner, like you catch your partner smooching this other person, it's like, well, fuck, it kind of does fuck with you in a way, I guess, because like in the real world, you'd be like, what the fuck? I just met you in the show.

It's like, well, yeah, he's got to or she's got to find out who she's really into, you know, and it fucks with you mentally for sure. Just like, oh, my God. Like in the real world, you would never think that you could do that, though.

Dude, that's what I'm saying, because like I was saying I could, but then like certain shit would happen. I'm like, oh, I'd swing on that for like what the hell you have to realize they're encouraging you to like the whole thing is to be open. The whole thing is set up from the job because you have to realize they're encouraging you to, hey, explore your avenues, find love.

Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Knowing all the jealousy and the feelings and everything surrounded with finding love. Exactly.

There's so many things surrounded with finding love. They're going to tell you, hey, hey, go find love. But hey, make sure you make sure you keep your options open.

So now you're like, OK, I might I might tell Chris I like him and have a good time with him and then I have a good conversation with Aaron. I might give a smooch to him and then I meet Kevin and it's like, oh, I don't know which one I like. And now all the guys are like, well, she does the theater.

And it's like, yeah, it sucks. It creates more confusion. It creates.

They set you up for failure. And the same for the guys with the guys do that. The girls are like, oh, he's a fuck boy.

And it's like, yeah, you're just set up. And I think it's crazy. Yeah.

On the show, you could even see like some of the girls really do be feeling for the guys. And when they do fuck them over, they're like, you know, fuck, you know, I think honestly, I didn't pay attention to this love island, but I did watch bits and pieces of the UK one with the Tyreek dude. I'm not sure.

You know, the UK dude, his name is like Tyreek. And he was like all falling in love with this one girl. And then she shows up and then he was like, I'm done.

I was down for you the whole time. Oh, really? Back like the last one of the last episodes to get back together. And then they I guess they were like rocking like after the show.

I think they won. I think they were the people that won. I think don't correct me on that, but I'm not the biggest reality TV.

I didn't really watch that much, but they were rocking with each other for a little bit. And they're making, you know, tick tocks, videos. And, you know, they were going up, but I don't think they're that they're together anymore.

So it's like it goes to show that that's just like a literal phase like that is going on. Road accelerates, accelerates it. They put you in paradise, social influence.

They put you in paradise with other people that are just very attractive. And and then they just sell you this fantasy fantasy. You fall for this person in these ideal situations when you guys are at the happiest points of your life at this.

And then you get sent back to the real world and go back to hell. Yeah, two different places around the world. And then you're expected to uphold that love.

Like, no, they set you up for failure. The whole thing is for entertainment. Like, let's call it what it is.

Like, you know what I'm saying? That's why it's hard. That's why people look a fool. And that's why sometimes I feel like people can't handle it because they put they feed you to the wolves and they say, hey, you signed up for it.

Exactly. Yeah, I think it's great because some of them are just regular people, too. And then some of them are actually like almost an influence, but not there yet.

You know, they have the few hundred followers, but they're not there yet. So like, I guess it's them to like gain their gain their celebrity status, I guess, on the show. But then there's like regular people who are just coming on literally because they think they're going to just audition and they look good enough.

And they said, fuck it, we'll bring you on. You know, there was a girl from Sacramento, right? There was. Yeah, she was just like a normal girl.

She was what? So she, you know, she was. Oh, yeah. I thought you're saying she was.

Yeah, yeah. But she I don't know what her occupation was, but she wasn't a model or nothing like that. She's just good looking from sack and got the opportunity.

Yeah, no, but someone like her, too. She came home with like hella hate dealing with this. I guess you could have done better, you know, to where she was like, fuck, that shit was tough.

Like she's been on podcast saying like, dude, that shit was brutal coming back. Like I guess she's even had a few episodes where she's like doesn't know how to continue living on because it was just too much for her. Yeah.

And it's insane. Well, you got to even think about it, like how intensified would your emotions be, too, when you're coming into this thinking like, man, I'm just going to soak up this experience. I'm going to live it up.

I'm not going to get caught into nobody. Like what? I wouldn't fall for nobody in two weeks. And then you do on camera and they make you look like a fool.

That's why they explode. That's why they go through what they go through is because they go through thinking they're not going to do it. And they do it no matter how much of a guard you have up.

There's always like that one that just has that one connection. And you're just like, oh, that's it, baby. I'm done.

Hey, just wait for just wait for that. No question. No question.

Love Island. You got questionable as people on this island. It's like from all different races.

We're going to do it. Take them to Bali and introduce. And that's cool, too.

They're out in Fiji doing that. That's crazy, too. And that's what it is, bro.

It's a once in a lifetime experience. The emotions are high and they get the best of you, man. That's what sucks, too.

Yeah, it sucks. You get sad to hear that people actually like, you know, yeah, this is crazy because of the results or something like that. So, I mean, anybody looking to get into things like that, I urge you to know the full effect and full of understanding and love it because that's what you're getting yourself into.

You ready for the next season? I am. I'm fucking pumped. I hope it's just as good.

And I hope I mean, if I'm not involved, I'm not involved. But like, I'll be watching. They got you.

They got him. Dude, yeah, this season was really good, too. Like, I don't know what it was about.

It was just it was good. And because, like I said, I don't really get involved with too many realities because I just hate it. It's annoying.

Yeah, it's insane. Like all the the love is blind. The two are like, yeah, there's a lot of them.

And they're good shows. Don't get me wrong. They're good shows.

I haven't watched them crazy, but like I can see why people watch and people get invested because it's just, you know, you see yourself in these people just trying to look for love. Exactly. You know, you're like, Tim, I would have done that at one point in my life.

You know, like, oh, I wouldn't let I wouldn't have let her fool me like or whatever it may be. You need somebody who would tell him. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Damn, you don't realize the full effect. Because there's times I'm like, oh, stop crying, bitch. You knew who he was when you met him.

You know, sometimes it's just TV, too. You never know. And that's when you forget.

Like, it's they're real people, too. But it's like, fuck, you think it's a game and all that shit? And it's whatever. Well, shit, bro.

We're going we're going to make it to next year when, you know, the audition or whatever it comes. We're going to record your audition, bro. We're going to get you on this.

We're going to get you on there. We'll post a whole podcast. It'll just be your audition tapes.
