So go get those, and I'll see you over there in Virginia.
Beautiful place, beautiful state.
And today's guests are, well, they're two generations of white rappers, musicians, entertainers, artists.
My dear friend Simon Rex is here with me today, aka Dirk Nasty, and a young gentleman who some of you guys might get to know for the first time is Young Gravey.
Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories All right, today sitting here with one of my closest friends in Los Angeles, Simon Rex, aka Dirt Nasty.
Happy to be here.
I'm happy to be here.
He's obviously been going through some stuff.
Yeah, no, you make me laugh everything.
And truly, though, one of my dearest friends in Los Angeles.
And then a young rapper right here, Young Gravy, is here today.
Greetings.
Welcome, Young Gravy.
Yep.
And how is it?
Previously known.
Yeah, real estate known as what?
What were some of y'alls?
You guys are white.
I'm just going to say you guys are white rappers.
Well, no, I'm Jew.
I did my DNA test.
I'm Jewish.
So not technically white, although I look white and I have white privilege, but I'm not technically white.
And I also found out.
I'm about to be part Mexican or something.
No, I'm part Spanish.
So if you want to be racist, that's close enough.
You're basked to be specific.
A Basque, which is a region next to Spain.
Oh, that's like Andorra or...
Never mind.
Dude, we had a guy that used to ride around our neighborhood on this little Spanish.
It was actually like a little Spanish horse and it was like a...
Louisiana, yeah.
not New Orleans or Baton Rouge.
Yeah.
More rural, you know.
People like burning stuff in the yard often.
People like.
Are we talking incest or not?
Because I've been through a few parts of Georgia where I've...
Yeah, I know you have a line in one of your songs.
It's like incest, incest, I just kiss sister.
Yeah, something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's stories behind all that shit.
It's all.
Oh, yeah.
I never practiced any incest.
My younger sister, pretty cute, but she everybody went their own separate ways.
You know, that was the thing.
So I don't think anybody in our family hung out long enough to really practice anything wild.
That's kind of sad.
And you didn't have a sister, Simon.
No, I'm only child, which is a core issue of a lot of my issues.
Now, I got to know about white rapping.
I want to know, because white wrapping seems like there's a glass ceiling on it.
It seems like it's like...
Glass ceiling?
I don't know.
I've heard that term a lot.
It has to do with women in the workplace.
Yeah, it seems like you can only get so high in the genre.
Does it seem like that?
Does it seem like that?
I don't know.
And this is just my perceptions, and I have no idea.
I think nowadays, to be a black rapper is like, damn, that's a black rapper.
It's rare now.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
There's so many different, so many different, like, there's so many different parts of hip-hop and so many different fan bases where it's like, I mean, any rapper, no matter what race they have, like, there's black rappers that have all white fans.
There's white rappers that have like a bunch of black fans.
It's like, it's all over.
Yeah, yeah.
It's just, it's just the thing.
Can we take these off yet?
Yeah.
Can we all switch them one time and then?
Can I have those?
Yeah, I'll switch.
Their prescription?
Okay, cool.
I want to see you in my glasses.
And then we'll go.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I feel good.
Those are good on you.
Yeah.
Those are Chris.
I like glasses.
Those look good on you, really?
Those are you.
You're going to keep those.
You're going to keep those.
Oh, thanks, man.
I have a big nose, so I feel like every time I put on glasses, it's like, oh, this guy's trying to be in a disguise.
And then it's like, I just...
Thanks, man.
You look good, man.
Glass ceiling.
We got the definition right here.
An unofficially acknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession, especially affecting women and members of minorities.
If people think of rap, regular people, I'm a regular person, so I think of rap as more of almost like a black sport a lot of times.
So does it seem like they're like as a white rapper, it's like tougher?
It doesn't even matter.
And it might have been different whenever some of you rap more.
No, it was different.
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but 15 years ago when I came out with Mickey Avalon and we did, you know, right when MySpace came out, it was a novelty.
It was like, oh, these white rappers, they're trying to be the Beastie Boys.
It wasn't as common.
15 years later, I think it's a lot more common.
But we met recently and he was like, man, you know, I grew up watching your shit.
And then I met Lil Dickie about a couple years ago and he said the same thing.
And I'm like, oh, I think it's kind of evolved to, I remember Little Dickie saying, without my dick, there'd be no Little Dickie.
He gave me the idea.
So I think it all kind of evolved.
He was cool, man.
Yeah, he told me that.
It was cool at Sandler, Adam Sandler's Christmas party.
He pulled me aside and was like, dude, you guys let me do me.
So I think it all lends to each other.
But did it seem like you couldn't, did it seem like you, did you feel like a rapper?
Because I'm you've had a bunch of different careers.
You've had like, you know, like you're always, you're kind of an entertainer.
I mean, I'm just trying to think like, I guess I'm just trying to get a little bit more into it.
Like, does it seem like there was like a ceiling?
Did you feel like just a rapper?
Did you feel like?
I have kind of an interesting way to explain it.
For me, when I first started rapping, I had a job in college.
I didn't want to lose.
It was like, I was like a, basically, I worked at a startup accelerator, which is like they help startup companies get off the ground.
And I would do all the marketing for these like venture capitalist people.
I don't know how I got that job.
It would have been dope after school if I didn't do the rap thing.
But I was learning all this marketing shit, whatever.
So I wanted to hide my, I didn't want my boss to figure out that I rapped.
I didn't want like, and it was kind of embarrassing.
I don't want to be that guy that's like, yo, listen to my rap.
So like, oh, yeah.
The first like three or four months that I was making music, I didn't show anybody other than like my two roommates.
And then and then like I started going up, but I kept my face.
I didn't reveal my face for like a year and a half.
Did you wear a mask or something?
Or did you wear it?
I didn't perform because I came up on SoundCloud, so that's a slow grind.
No, no, no.
Oh, yeah.
Soundcloud, you don't need a face, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was every every single thing I put out was just like pin up girls.
That was like all my artwork.
It was all this 50s, 60s theme shit.
And then finally, like, I eventually revealed my face.
And like, I put up this music video for my biggest song, not Mr. Clean, and it had me in it.
And people, like, 80% of the comments were like, holy shit, I thought he was black.
I didn't know he was white.
So it was like, just because of my low voice and all that.
It's almost like, it's almost like people were like, oh, like, it was some weird comments.
Like, oh, now that I figured out that he's white, like, I'm out.
I'm out.
It's just like, why would you, like, what?
So there's some, there's some whack people out there, man.
But, like, I feel like, I feel like as long as your music's unique, man, there's no like, like, no glass ceiling.
I mean, look at it.
I mean, Post Malone's kind of more like pop, but like, he's a white dude, and he's like, he's great with.
Yeah, Mac Miller, Post Malone, man.
Mac Miller, I think, is the best example.
He's like an amazing rapper, respected by everybody.
Yeah.
And a lot of your videos, too, you keep it pretty diverse.
You keep it real.
I mean, even age-wise in your videos, they always got a little bit of a lady that, you know, is a little bit older.
You know, I got the Mill thing.
Yeah.
Oh, you do?
Oh, yeah.
You didn't hear that Mill lyrics?
Oh, that's been my thing, yeah.
Oh, really?
I love Mills.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I've seen some really, I'm like, damn, bro.
He's got a real diverse.
Because you'll have like a 19-year-old and then you'll have like a 49-year-old.
Do you know Brandy Love?
You ever seen her on the internet?
I don't think so.
Is that a porn star?
It sounds like a porn star.
She's like one of the most famous porn stars on earth.
Simon might know her.
He seems a little disappointed that we don't know.
Yeah, I am.
I am.
Well, here she is right here.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
She looks like every other porn.
Oh, she's a MILF.
She's a MILF mom.
I really like that.
She's famous for it.
Me and her are really tight.
She was in a video of mine.
I'm sure I've seen it then.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not one of my most popular videos, but she's in it.
She's great.
And, you know, we hung out a couple times.
Damn, Brandy, huh?
Yeah, I don't think you find her on YouTube, probably a different site.
I was thinking the video?
A couple of people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You pull up Pizazz real quick if you want to watch it for a sec.
Yeah, I'm a fan of Young Gravey's music here.
I think he's awesome.
Yeah, you were telling me it's so crazy because yesterday you guys ran into each other.
Right.
Did we?
Yesterday.
No, I invited him to watch the Super Bowl with me.
If I seem a little down today, it's because my 49ers lost, but I'm getting over it.
It's okay.
I don't want to talk to you.
You're a Saints fan.
You've guys had it worse than us.
And I bet, I bet there's $2,500 on the Chiefs.
So he was celebrating the party.
I was in the party.
They're all sad, and I'm like trying to hide my smile.
No, he made it worse when they lost, and then he patted me on the shoulder, like made it worse.
He's waiting for his My Bookie account to update.
Man, it was made, you know.
Anyway, so yeah, I invited him over to watch the end of the game at my boy's house, and then he came back to the crib and he's like, yo, you heard of Theo Vaughn?
I was like, you mean one of my best friends?
Yeah, he's like, yeah, I'm doing his podcast tomorrow.
And I said, I got to call him.
That's awesome.
Yeah, what a small world.
Because we were thinking, like, it would be fun to have somebody else in with you.
So we're thinking maybe a comedian.
And then once he saw me, I was like, oh, this is perfect.
Yeah.
And once you said that, I was thinking like Trevor Wallace or someone who's mad cool.
But like, this is perfect.
This is like my fucking uncle.
And do you know Trevor Wallace?
Yeah, Trevor's really, really funny, man.
I love.
I don't think Trevor knows how big of a fan of him I am.
Have you had him on the show?
We should all hang out, man.
We got to all hang out.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, I'd love to, man.
I saw him at the comedy store the other night.
Yeah, his shit on Instagram making fun of Bang Energy and all of the stuff.
And we just fake Bang Energy?
Oh, that's funny.
I didn't know what you were talking about.
That's really good.
We got to see that.
So he had a bunch of videos like making fun of White Claw and shit.
And then he got sponsored by Truly.
Oh, that's crazy.
And it was the same shit with me.
I got sponsored by fucking Natty Light.
Oh, that's great.
Oh, that's dope.
That's a beautiful drink, too.
That's short for Natural Light, which is the American Alcoholic Beverage, which is the beer family.
But Simon, so whenever you started, you had SoundCloud.
What did you have?
What did you guys do?
MySpace was it.
Wow.
That's all we had.
That's what I started with, like, as trying to get hosed at MySpace, yeah, back in seventh grade.
No, for music, you had to either what, if you wanted to get your music out there, but.
YouTube?
Well, it was YouTube was kind of, this is 05, so I remember Myspace.
Do you remember there was the music player on your homepage where you can have like your top friends and you could have music?
It's all Lil John.
Okay.
All Lil John.
All your fingers.
Right.
So we put our own music up as a demo.
Like, here, check this out.
And then MySpace Records and Interscope signed Mickey Avalon together and put out a collab album.
And then we just, that we took off from there.
And it was just like by accident.
I would hand out our C, I would burn, this is how old it was.
I would burn CDs.
We'd make demos in my spare bedroom.
Did you buy a burner?
Yeah, I had a piece to buy one CD.
I had to five so we could burn five at once.
I would burn five CDs of like five horrible rap songs with me and Mickey Avalon and Andre Legacy.
And I'd wrap them up in like the LA Express, which is a local pornographic newspaper.
And I would just hand them out to like people in LA, like Leonardo DiCaprio at the club.
I'd be like, here's me and my boys rapping.
It was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
And then like a week later, they'd be like, that's not you.
That sounds dope.
And it circulated around Hollywood.
And eventually we got signed.
Oh, that's crazy.
And that's crazy because I was listening to you advertised through pornography as well.
Yeah.
Oh, that was a great move.
My label gave me about $5,000 in advertising budget.
And we said, you know what, let's do Pornhub.
So I connected with like this, you know, Pornhub Aria?
It's like the girl who kind of like- I don't pay for any of the high-end stuff.
I see a lot of the free stuff, and I'm actually need to get a blocker on my phone.
She just runs, she runs all the social media for Pornhub.
Connected with her, and we got like, we just put all the money into Pornhub.
I was like, let's just fucking do it.
And like ads for my new song were all over and people were loving it.
And like, you know, my fan base, like, well, now it's a lot more women, but like, back then, it was like a lot of dudes.
So they're just freaking out.
The girls were going to watch porn, I feel like, because of it.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I'm posting about it.
Yeah.
It was a mutually beneficial thing for me.
Yeah, it's the same thing.
It sounded like the same.
You guys just did the same thing.
That's what's crazy.
You wrapped it up in something sexy.
You got to trick them.
You got to disarm them with a hard penis.
Well, not a hard penis.
You want to get them.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't.
Sex sales is my sales.
yes.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I've also had porn stars in almost all my music videos.
So it's like people will see that and recognize it and be like, oh, shit, he's with Gina Valentina.
He's with Brandy Love.
He's with Alina Koshka.
I have no idea any of those three names.
I think I'm too old because I don't know those names.
Because y'all don't jerk out.
And he made me get the porn block on my phone, which I still haven't.
I can't delete it off of them.
What's porn block?
Makes it so you can't access porn.
Oh, see y'all.
He's 27. He doesn't need to know yet.
Yeah.
I'm in the future, dude.
Yeah.
Simon is you like 12 years.
You're 27?
I'm not.
I'm 39. Oh.
But Simon is you.
You look 27. Simon is you.
You look 27?
Aren't you?
23. 23. I'm sorry.
You look like a grown man.
It's the height.
You're only 23. He's a child.
Bro, you could be a grandfather in Idaho.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Grandfather, bro.
You could be your dad, dude.
You're my uncle.
Because I'm 45. I'm your uncle.
But I'm just saying legally, I could be your dad.
It'd be way better than you are.
So listen to this.
My parents had a 21-year gap, and they're really old for parents.
My dad had been married before.
So my mom is 62, and my dad would be 84. He passed away?
Yeah, he passed away when I was 16. Oh, man.
So did my dad when I was 16. What did he have?
Colon cancer?
He, no, he fell on the ice.
Hit his ass.
Fuck.
Yeah, it was rough, man.
But, like, it really, it really did, like, affect my, like, career and, like, motivate me.
And I was like, yo, I need to become the man of the house.
My mom couldn't really handle it.
I was like, become the man of the house.
And I was like, yo, I need to, like, it gave me so much motivation to like, like, you know, like, impress him and, like, support my mom.
And, like, I think that definitely helped me get to where I'm at now.
And, and, yeah, I mean, first of all, I can definitely, like, I didn't have that experience with my dad, but I, uh, but yeah, I could imagine if my family was kind of tight and that happened, you know?
And especially being tall, like, when you're tall, you guys can't hide from like any, it's like, if you're tall, immediately I'll feel like, oh, you got to do something.
Everybody always looks at tall people to do something.
Yeah.
Like, hey, do something.
Yeah.
Help out around the house.
Yeah.
Help out, take on the responsibility.
You know what I'm saying?
If you had like a short brother, nobody's even like, hey, you know, earn.
And I had only half siblings that were like 30 years older.
So what I was doing was fucking, I mean, I was just like grinding hard as fuck in school, trying to get into college, did all that by myself.
My mom couldn't really, she was just, you know, she had that period of time.
See, I never knew that about him.
That makes me respect and like you more.
And that's maybe the deep voice comes from having to be a man sooner because he has a very deep man voice.
You never know, babe.
Oh, yeah.
I bet if you're reaching his throat, you'd find a couple of fucking scrotum in there, bro.
Whoa.
But your own, though.
Not another two.
Yeah, yeah, that sounded good.
Another guy's, bro.
I'm talking, man.
Your tonsils have hair on them, I bet.
If we're being PC, it could be anybody.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, you're right, bro.
There's a glass ceiling in there.
It could be a beautiful chick with some solid nuts on it.
Yeah.
That's that next level.
Man, I gotta tell a story really, really quick.
I'm not gonna name who I was with, but I was in Germany on tour.
And, you know, have y'all ever been to Germany for like the prostitution area?
I've been to Germany, but not for prostitution.
I've been to Amsterdam and done.
I've experienced some of what they have to offer.
Because I wanted to see what, like, I just wanted to go see what it's all about.
And, like, me and a good friend and another good friend were on tour there a while back.
And we went into like a, they basically have this whole street where it's like all these hotels.
It's like four or five of them, but they're all, it's in Hamburg.
They're all just like every hotel room has its own prostitute.
And you walk up and like literally, it's like, they'll like be like, oh yeah, like 30 euro, like sucking fuck.
Like they're like barely even speaking English.
Crazy.
But we were just going there to check it out.
We weren't even trying to like, I mean, someday I want to say that I've, that I fucked a hooker, but it hasn't happened yet.
But we're going up in there.
We get to the top floor.
We didn't know what the top floor was, what that meant.
So we're walking down this hallway and there's like all the doors are closed.
We're like, all right, what's going on?
And like way, no cap, way at the end of the hallway, there's this like, like, probably like 50 to 60 year old lady.
Like, she looks really nice.
She looks like a fucking mom, like a nice mom.
She's like smiling at us and we're like, hey.
And we're just like waving and like walking towards her.
And then she just gets up, whips up her skirt, big ass dick, and she's just like swinging it back and forth and like smiling and like laughing.
And we're like, it was, it was, it was almost like a, like a scary scene from a, it was like one of a pop-out scene in a movie.
We're like, like, oh, oh, man.
Like, we just fucking turned around and man.
It was like, she got a lot of enjoyment out of it, at least.
At least somebody injured.
Well, a dick is surprising if you look at it.
It's definitely a dick surprising when you, when you look at it.
Was it a white woman?
It was a, it was a, yeah, probably like a 55-year-old white woman who was a man.
Wow.
Oh, okay.
So she had kids, but never removed the penis.
Yeah, I think it's a dude, but he looked just like a nice grandma.
Not a woman that attached it.
It looked like a woman who would be really good at making cookies or something.
Or really nice.
And then she pulled up.
Yeah, with that free roller rod.
And then he pulls up and whips his cock out.
And we're just like, man, this is...
Was it stock or was it aftermarket?
That's what's going on.
Yeah, right, right.
Okay.
Why is it stock?
I have no idea.
Dude, that's, you know, what's crazy is I went to Germany one time with my ex-girlfriend and it wasn't going really well.
And we were, we like, we just were camping and shit.
It wasn't good.
But anyway, outside of that, we were driving through a park on a bicycle one time riding on them.
And some man popped out from behind a tree.
I guess you can be naked in a certain area of the park and just shook his, like, got his hips going, just shook his penis back and forth and was bouncing it off his legs like a soccer ball on top of it.
And he just for fun.
I mean.
But it was the craziest.
It was almost like he had taken...
You could see it from real far away.
That's how big of a penis it was.
It was very big.
But when we got closer, he was like literally, you see, like one of those Spanish guys bouncing a ball on their leg.
Yeah, he knew how to do it.
It was an art form.
It was like a workout.
He was like there.
He wasn't even trying to scare you.
He was just out there doing his morning.
No, he was surprising.
It was a pop-out and scare you type of thing.
So he gets off on that, I bet.
That's what I was saying.
That's a sexual.
It seems like.
But it was choreographed, clearly, and he knew what he was doing.
Yeah.
He was waiting for bikers to come, and then he popped out and did it.
And my girl I was seeing actually did a loop back around and saw it again.
Was this before we met?
Because I've never heard of this.
There's a lot of things I find out through your podcast that I can't tell whether you told me or I heard it on the podcast because I'm a fan of Theo's as well as a friend.
So I never know how to separate the two because I listen to you on the road of life.
I'm always on the road and you stay a part of my life.
We stay in touch on the phone And check in, but I listen to the pod.
And I never know what's told from you or the pod.
Right, I wonder what, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I know you were telling me a story.
What were you telling me a story about the other day, man?
So many.
Dad.
It was about your dad.
Oh, that we did acid?
That might have been it.
Yeah, I did acid with my dad.
I did LSD with my dad.
I'm about to do DMT with my mom.
Really?
See, I think doing psychedelics with your parents is the new shit because it's not like, we're going to party, dude.
It's more like, oh, we should do a bonding chemical and have therapeutic healing.
What happened when you did it?
Because you and your dad haven't been super close.
And your father's from New Orleans, isn't it?
My dad's from New Orleans.
Yeah.
And I actually found that out while we were on ACID.
I thought he was from Atlanta.
Wait, your whole life?
My whole life.
I never knew he was from New Orleans.
Yeah.
And that's where my parents met is in New Orleans.
Oh, right.
So that's why we have a kindred spirit.
So my dad asked me to send him some LSD in the mail because he recently had some health issues and I had some that I hadn't done LSD in like 20 years and I just happened to have some.
I was like, he asked me if I could get it.
I'm like, yeah, dad actually do have some.
And I sent it to him in the mail.
Then I was on tour and I had a day off and I drove to visit him in Asheville and he's like, do you want to do some of that acid that you sent me?
And I was like, fuck no.
And then I was like, oh.
Asheville, North Carolina.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's where he lives?
That's where he lives now.
He's a southern man.
That's a cute-ass town.
People love that place.
So we did some together and walked around and spent the day together.
So what type of acid?
What type of acid?
It's liquid LSD that was on a mint.
So it was like legit LSD.
Oh, yeah.
Up in Minnesota, we would get like the bunk, like five-hour-lasting ones that were like sus.
Like back in high school, I was doing the ones where you taste it and you still do it.
No, no, it was, this is very, very clean, good.
You could eat on it.
You could sleep on it.
It was very good quality.
And did y'all put y'all, it was a, did y'all put it on a mint?
We split a mint.
Split a mint.
So we did like half a hit each, right?
And that's a, dude, that'll put you there.
But it's not like you're seeing the walls melt and you're tripping out.
It's more just like, it's hard to explain, man.
It's just, if you've done it, people listening, if you've done it, you know.
Anyway, so we just, he started telling me all this crazy shit that I never knew about our side of the family and about my uncle that committed suicide and about all the, we have depression in our, all these things started to make sense that I never knew, but while on LSD, it was really extra crazy, you know?
Yeah.
And he started to.
Is that a good feeling then?
It was just very intense.
It wasn't good or bad.
It was just like, what?
It was like, you know when you get your mind blown, but then imagine being on LSD while you're getting your mind blown.
You're like, wait a minute.
Like, I didn't even need to be on asset to hear all this shit.
It was weird enough.
And then he told me that his dad, my grandfather, was like a spiritual leader who opened up like a cult, basically, and had all these women that he was sleeping with that he took advantage of his power and was kind of like this like, like you see those cult documentaries about a guy who pretended to be a god.
Like he said, my grandfather, and I was just like, wait, I can't take this.
My grandfather that I never met, he renamed himself Rama, which is like a religious name, but he was like a southern dude with an accent, but renamed himself Rama and fucked a bunch of women.
Some heavy shit.
Damn.
Yeah, you couldn't do that nowadays.
Did he write a manifesto?
Because it does sound...
You could do it nowadays, but you would be on blast a little more.
This was in the 60s or something when he was older in life, or maybe even the 50s.
So he got away with it because you could get away with everything up until 1989 or whatever year the cell phone technology started coming or internet.
You know what I mean?
Like back in the day.
Was it crazy?
Like, were you scared?
Like, did it, man?
I'm wondering what it would be like if I was with mama.
What are you going to say?
I was going to say, if y'all got a DMT or good acid plug out here, I need to bring something back to my mom because, like, we nowadays, like, like, she's retired.
It's so chill, man.
I'll go back and I'll have all the friends overall party.
She'll come smoke with us.
We'll, whatever.
Before the bars and after, she'll come hit shots.
My mom is so fucking funny.
FaceTime.
She's cool.
I met his mom on Facebook.
She's a sweetheart.
She's the biggest sweetheart, and she really wants to do DMT and all that stuff.
I can get it.
We'll talk after the show.
Okay.
Perfect.
Yeah, you had something in your freezer you showed me one time that was an amazing LSD, it looked like.
Oh, that was the one.
That was the one I sent my dad.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that one bottle.
Yeah, but he's got to go.
I kind of just gave most of it away because it's not something you, yeah, exactly.
It's not something you do all the time.
I mean, maybe a couple times a year, maybe three times.
Absolutely.
So I gave almost all of it away to a lot of people because was it strange looking at him?
Like on your pants?
Yeah.
My mom would, I feel like when I look at LST, at first, at one point, I look real like young and vibrant.
And then later as it goes on, I start to squirrel out.
My dad looked like ups and downs and shit.
My dad started looking really weird to me.
You know, they say don't look in the mirror.
And then I was looking at my dad.
I'm like, whoa, I came out of his balls.
I'm half him.
That's me.
Like, I started tripping on just like the biology of, you know, handed down.
It was cool though, though, wasn't it?
It was cool, but no, it wasn't bad.
It was just weird.
He was weird.
Oh, yeah.
I would be weird.
But it was good.
In the end, it was a good thing in the end.
Yeah.
Did you guys have like any, like, was there any, like, did you guys connect on any new level you thought?
Yeah, I think we did, which was very helpful.
Which sounds crazy, but since he was open, like, it was his suggestion.
I didn't suggest it.
It was his idea.
And at first, I was reluctant.
I'm like, wait, that's actually a good idea because I was never close to my dad.
So it's a good thing and he's getting older.
And I think, you know, he wants to, you know, connect with his son.
So we did it as a sort of a like therapeutic, you know?
It was crazy.
Yeah, because it's interesting because, yeah, it's like a lot of times you do, I feel like, well, it takes me back to thinking like in tribes and stuff, people used to probably do that kind of stuff more often, like have those sweat lodges and stuff with their family and eat peyote or do something wild or do something, you know.
You know, things were a lot more you saw people in their, in their reality, or they were probably trying to get fucked up together, like as families, probably people.
Adding to what you're saying, I don't think it's getting fucked up.
I think there was rites of passage through every single culture up until us Western whites.
Every culture throughout history almost has had some rite of passage.
And we don't.
We go to the military, or maybe if you're Jewish, you have a bar mitzvah, or you might go to college, but you become a man somehow, but really not through any type of spiritual, like drug-induced colour.
That's the new one.
That's the new thing.
You lose your virginity.
Oh, that's the way to become a man.
That might be it, I guess.
I don't know.
I lost my virginity at 15, but it wasn't good.
And then I remember losing my virginity, thinking, oh, I'm going to get late all the time.
And then I didn't get late for two more years.
Yeah, Cynthia Danley.
I hope I could say that on the air league.
Oh, because you probably Cynthia.
That's fucked up.
That's beautiful.
Actually, yeah, that's a bonny title.
I could be your dad.
Just because you're my uncle.
Your uncle.
I lost mine at 14. Once again, you're his uncle, dude.
I lost mine at 11. I'm an action.
I'll be Uncle Dirt.
Yeah, I lost mine at 14. Oh, shit.
These kids are advanced, though.
Oh, I feel like kids now are probably going lower, too, because I see, like, I get DMs from kids that are like 14 talking about weed and like all this shit that like, I guess, well, I guess I smoked weed.
I smoked weed.
So it's like a lot of kids.
You know, I smoked weed back then, too, but like, I don't know.
Yeah.
sex was a little bit of a yeah I think sex was more like 17 there was like one couple we heard had sex when they were like in eighth grade and everybody people were drawing pictures of them for like months and like all excited people would like run up and touch the guy on his back and everybody touched the guy what do you mean what guy the guy who had had sex is there was Nathan was they were so like yeah like fucking it was so cool that they always want to touch him yeah wow this boy Nathan and people would and it's he I remember this kid he always said his name was spelled the same backwards and forwards and
it wasn't dude and he thought it was Nathan Nathan oh yeah that's an anemonopoeia because I would write bro a thousand times I wrote it at school and I'm like there's no way and every time I wrote it one of those it didn't add up a palindrome thank you the voice of reason it's like God coming up what's that terminator that keeps popping up on the other side of the wall you hear it's elevator man oh it's an elevator yeah that's why we got this it's an elevator is a device that takes you from floor to all right i think i think another story we gotta tell you bro another another
story we gotta tell us uh when i did some drugs with my uncle oh with members where'd you guys get out at so you know he's been my fucking idol for a long time oh oh you really mean me i thought you meant your real uncle i am real uncle dude i have barely liaison yeah bro all my grandparents died before other than one died before i was born okay uncles all live in switzerland and they're all dead now i have like one uncle in america like my family's old and like swiss oh so you look swiss he's you do bro you look like you'd be santa
claus' grandson you could be a game of thrones like king i'm swiss prince i'm from like the italian part of switzerland so i'm italian swiss and a little bit french you look like an entitled millionaire prince from the border of switzerland and like germany michigan yeah yeah close i mean yeah yeah yeah you got no you got a regal mission i mean yeah you know yeah you know where i'm from oh you're from minnesota yeah okay we talked about that already okay yeah we didn't talk about it i like minnesota though i've had some good times out there but i want to hear about this warranty uh yeah i want to hear about this
time you guys oh yeah so so um let me think we were we had this whole tour i had had some bad experiences in the past performing in the bay because my first show there ever i got roofied by somebody that was in the green room and it was like these weird kids from like pretty sure it was these weird kids from from college there was these kids that paid us 500 bucks per night to do a five minute set opening for our shows for like word that's 1500 bucks you go up on stage for a minute but then the last show we did with them they like i don't even know
all like i it took like four drinks and then all of a sudden like i mean i don't remember it even this is what my friends were telling me all of a sudden like like i guess i'm completely off the shits i go up on stage i start my song and i'm storing the words and i'm like and then i walk off after one song and i'm like yo i gotta pee and then like the whole crowd's just like what and then like i i guess i passed out in the bathroom locked the door all this shit because someone had put some shit in my drink it was it was roofy it was either roofies or just a shitload of xanax but i'm pretty sure it was roofies because i got weird ass weird ass withdrawals and
shit so like that was my first experience in san francisco and like i don't know it's whatever but um damn can i can i make a quick interjection i'm sorry i gotta work on interrupting that's something theo taught me uh but i want to interject roofies is a loose term that i think is being used incorrectly you weren't roofied because those are row hypnols which they don't even make anymore so when people say i got roofied that people use it loosely like they put something in my drink but technically a roofie's a row hypnol which you cannot get so i bet you it was xanax you cannot get they don't make them anymore but
i also have i've been prescribed xanax and like i like xanax but not row hypnol either hypnol were banned years ago but like don't make my body handles xanax really well and like but not three ladders so i guess i bet you i'm just saying to interject i'm sorry i think it was xanax you continue this horrible story oh simon's on some drugs man i'll be all oh oh we've all done a bunch of drugs but like but like i've been really clean lately thing is i was drinking red blood xanax tastes like ass i didn't taste anything oh i wonder what it was because they don't make rho hypnol anymore but anyway i just want to clear that up for listeners because everyone's always like i got roofied i'm like no you didn't they don't even exist that's like saying i got qualuted they
don't make those either right so i just know about this stuff so so it could have been like a ghb or something it could have been ghb it could have been ghby like somebody was gonna rape you or anything that's a very one to no they i think i think these opener dudes that were paying almost money wanted to like somehow look better right it was some weird these dudes are weird one one of the one of them literally uh faked cancer and made a gofund me oh my gosh some hate acts yeah these like club promoter type people oh yeah this horrible opening acts are always sketchy people yeah that's crazy yeah i don't mean to interrupt
i just want to clear the air on that no look it's interesting because i didn't know that roofy so the term roofy come from rohipnol rho hypnol which has been banned because it was the date rape drug for so long they they stopped making those you can't even get fake rho hypnols anywhere they don't people a lot of people stop dating when they stop making them too wow yeah so i didn't mean to go just got what you said um yeah i had a show in santa cruz coming up and i was like oh man like the last santa cruz show i had the green room was shitty whatever it'll be fun but i'll but then i was like that that's your that's your terrifying
prayer praying grounds yeah so i was like bro like let me have fucking simon come open for me and like we'll do a show together and then dope yeah yeah so we went out there it was fucking dope and then like was that the first time we met no no no i think we had met once briefly and had like a long time we went and had a small i took him to marguan right and then he said come open up for me which i did which was a disaster in itself because i opened up for you and i gave him all the hits 1980 my dick all the good songs and the whole crowd just stared at me like get this old dude out of here and
i remember thinking oh my it was bad you had to come out and save me you came out on stage and did my dick with me and were like don't you guys know who this is that's dirt nasty and i was just like this sucks and and 957 people are just staring at me like get this dude out of here and i remember just thinking oh my god this is so crazy i'm the old dude in front of a bunch of 17 year old kids that don't know who dirt nasty is it was a good humbling experience yeah and then i proceeded to get butt fuck drunk wasted oh i was we were doing this before the show we were
drinking before we were drinking this is the thing is we're so excited to be together and i had all the dmt so literally before before either of us go on we both took and ate the shrooms no we didn't we i did i didn't you definitely you took a quarter i thought you took ate the shrooms i'm pretty sure you did man i would not i wouldn't even have been able to stand no i did I did my full set tripping.
I did my hour set tripping.
But I swear I got it from you.
No.
Oh, I might have gotten them for you, but I didn't do them.
I did not.
Everybody mushroomed the goods, and then some were drinking tequila at that little bar and you bought the tab.
Yeah, yeah.
And then some Wookiee dude had K. Wookiee dude.
We were doing K. You were doing K. So we were on K, Alcohol, Weed, Fucking Shrooms, and DMT.
Wait, wait, you did DMT?
I was doing DMT back there.
Of course he was.
Dude, he's going to the gym later.
I love DMT.
That's my favorite.
I've only done that like a few times.
I did do DMT with mushrooms that did, but I did get drunk and get put in the hole.
I did do that.
I did.
For me, I did all of them.
Wow.
And then you do your stuff.
I come out early, and then you go and pass out in the green room.
And then I'm on stage, and the streams are starting to hit me.
And I'm like up there.
Man, that shit was a weird show.
Cause like apparently, like everyone on my team and like the people that work there were like, yo, what's going on?
Like, what's wrong with this dude?
Like, why is he acting weird?
But like the crowd didn't know because they had seen my show.
They loved it still.
But I was just like, they thought I was joking.
I'd be like, yo, like, are we inside right now?
But like, I keep seeing like stars.
Like, is that a bird?
Like, I was like saying shit like that.
And like, everyone just kind of thought it was funny, like, like the crew, but they're like, bro, he's off some shit right now.
You know?
Santa Cruz understands.
Yeah, but no, but the kids, the kids were younger and they loved the show still.
But I was just loved it.
I remember being on stage and I was just like, every once in a while, I'd be like, God fucking damn, dude, I'm really on stage tripping on shrooms, seeing things.
All these people are looking at me.
Man, it was a weird feeling, man.
I probably won't.
You were sure you were going to forget any of the words or anything like that?
I don't think I forgot words, but apparently I took like an insane amount of water breaks.
I don't know why.
I don't know which one of those drugs would do that.
It was just like, they're like, yeah, every song you was like, water break.
And I would like walk over and like.
You did great.
I remember you killed it.
He did this thing to the crowd.
Oh, and this is where we're going to tie it in, the big donks, the dude who you – Oh, yeah.
Big Dave?
Big Dave.
They did a moment of silence for Big Dave, and I was like, what's he doing?
And he had the whole crowd go, shh.
And if anyone talks, they get kicked out.
It was a moment of silence for the dude that you told me.
You call me up.
You seen this dude?
Young King.
Big Doinks.
Because I was like, that's a boy.
Big Doinks out here in.
Yeah, and fucking Big Doinks out here in.
We're going to get it.
That's in New Jersey.
It's in New Jersey, but we're going to be able to get a little bit of smoking Big Doinks.
Rest in Peace.
Yeah.
Yeah, rest in peace.
That was so funny.
You told me about it.
I had a studio session when I was about to sign up to a label.
They were giving me all these studio sessions in New York, and I brought out Young King Dave and Smoke Perp and my Doug Trippy.
And we went to the studio.
He came through with 20 doinks.
He's not capping about the doinkery.
He's got a lot.
So we smoked 20 doinks in like two hours.
And we're just going off.
And then I'm like, yo, dude, I got this record.
It's one of my favorite tracks off of my project I was dropping with my boy Baby No Money, who's known with the Whip Botesla song.
Yeah, and he's great.
Yeah, he's really dope.
It's like my best friend.
Chili song.
What is that?
Welcome to Chili's.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Love that.
That's good.
That video is good.
You did the video too?
Thank you.
Yeah, we got a new video, guys.
We'll talk about that later.
But I just had Dave going.
I was like, bro, I'm going to loop this beat.
Just freestyle.
Like, just go off, bro.
And he was feeling himself.
It was so dope.
He went off.
He spat a bunch of fucking bars.
Some good, some bad.
But whatever.
I like blended it together and made this verse at the end of the song.
And I fucking love it.
Like, it's an epic little outro to our project.
And then it became a huge song for us.
And all my fans loved it.
So every show, we would have a moment of silence for Young King Dave before that song would play.
And people would get completely silent.
And if there was ever anyone that would make a pee, we would kick them out.
Let's pull that up.
Nick, can you pull up Young King Dave on IG?
I want to see a couple of there he is.
New Jersey social media star.
I think he honestly seemed like, and I'm guessing here, but it seemed like the smoking is what killed him.
He was really big.
He's a really big dude.
It was a heart failure thing.
Yeah, what is he singing?
I was just like a sad one.
Is that the song you did?
Dave, you breaking my heart.
It ain't easy.
It ain't easy now.
Let's go to some older ones of him if you don't mind, Nick.
You should play the song with me and him and Baby the Money.
Yeah.
Skip like halfway through.
It's called Gasoline.
Gasoline, Young King Dave.
I gotta go pee anyways.
Okay, cool.

That's cool.
That's cool, man.
That's off the dome piece.
Super down-to-earth, super nice.
He seemed like the nicest dude, man, in all the videos and stuff and all of his stories.
So cool, so nice.
Give the best hugs, man.
Great dude.
Yeah, I don't remember how I got on to him.
You caught me freaking out about him one day.
You're like, dude, have you seen this guy?
Because you turned me on a Smoking Six 23, that's why.
We should get her on here one day.
Yeah, there he is, dude.
And that's his boy right there.
What's his boy's name?
That's Adam Sandler.
Oh, man.
I used to be so in their world, bro.
I would like I was always listening to what they were doing and seeing how crazy it was.
I know.
I know all the links.
Personally, yeah.
Like their managers and shit.
Yeah, man.
Fucking legend.
R.I.P.
Wow.
Man.
Sad.
And did it happen so fast, huh?
Yeah, I was like, someone had said something about it, and his manager called me and called me, man, which was pretty sad.
And I had only met him twice.
Young King Dave, let's see what he says right here.
Don't fuck these guys.
No, I'm fine.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
A tear is rolling down my face.
Don't do these games, bro.
That loud pack.
That is spicy shit.
Hey, but like, you know, there's a lot of people on Instagram who were like doing like some shit, trying to be like really like ignorant and different.
Like, you know, like the people, like the neck dudes and shit, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, Daddy Longneck, yeah.
Where they're like, I don't know the people personally where they're like trying to like be extra weird and like in some way to like get cloud.
It was like he wasn't like, he was just being himself, man.
Yeah, Daddy makes some wild videos, but he's a unique character, though.
I mean, his neck is...
If you painted him black, this could be him.
Who are we talking about?
Daddy Longneck.
Damn Longneck.
Is that the little skin?
David, yeah.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I know people.
God, I don't know any of these people, but I'm just like, when I see people like, I love Supreme Patty, but they're like doing all this shit for the shit.
It's kind of like a character thing, but it's like he was just straight as personality.
Yeah.
All the way.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, he was real.
You can feel it when someone putting too much hot sauce on it.
You can feel it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I think a lot of stuff comes off.
Yeah, a lot of stuff comes to it.
A lot of stuff.
Yeah, you can always feel what seems pretty genuine.
You can tell if something's real or not.
But some people don't care, I think.
Some people, maybe their genuinometer is just kind of bent out.
And they'll do whatever, you know?
You met Supreme Patty?
I never met him.
He's actually really nice.
He's funny as hell, too.
Yeah, some of his stuff is pretty crazy.
I met a guy yesterday who does some stuff with his grandmother, and they have videos together.
It's wild.
Supreme Granny?
He's a grandma?
Supreme Patty does, it's too much drugs for me.
Oh, he does a lot of drugs?
Yeah, they're always like...
A fist fight?
And get him in a headlock?
I don't think you could get a long neck.
I don't think you could.
Yeah.
Bro, you would have to use.
Yeah.
Shout out, Daddy Longneck.
You'd have to use a clamp, bro.
You'd have to use a chip clamp, like one of those chip clamps.
Yeah, yeah.
Keep them fresh.
We're talking about the white dude with the super long one or the black dude with the wide one?
That's wide neck.
Oh, that's wide neck Gerald.
Yeah, wide neck Gerald, dude.
He went to jail.
Did he?
Oh, yeah, he's from Georgia.
Yeah.
That one.
That guy's huge.
He's a gangster.
David and I actually have family.
We were like distant relatives.
Come on, I guess we all love it.
Long neck.
Yeah, that's some Louisiana shit.
But he, yeah, sometimes they make those videos out there, but they don't, like, some of their stuff is just so their production value is they're like beating each other with hatchets and like bags of potato chips.
Yeah, that's how it is, man.
Especially this time of year.
Yeah.
That time of year, man.
Long neck.
We need like Aqualung to come back or something.
Yeah, well, that's the thing, dude.
Now, here was what I was thinking was, why don't somebody put together like a Barnum and Bailey type of circus with these unique characters of people and take them on tour?
That's the best idea you've had all day.
Thank you.
Thank you, man.
But I don't know what other ideas you've had, but that's a good one.
I haven't had any.
Yeah, take them on the road.
Here we got a question that came in right here from some gentleman.
We just mentioned beef.
This is a question about possible beef young gravy has.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Yo, gravy.
Do you have beef with Shotgun Willie?
Because when he dropped Wendy, I remember you posted on your story that he copied the beat of Wendy from Magic.
Are these cartoons?
Shotgun Willie?
Is he a cartoon?
No, it's a real guy.
It's a real guy.
I know Shotgun Willie.
So I had this song that I've been hyping up for like two years, but I couldn't.
There was all these legal issues because it was a Pericomo sample.
And the Pericomo estate, like, obviously I'm rapping about fucking moms.
They're not like, they're not going to clear it.
So then I had to go through all this process of like getting it replayed and all this stuff.
Y'all know what that is?
When they take a sample, like, you ever heard Magic Moments with Perry, Pericomo?
Magic Moments.
This magic.
Oh, no.
It's like 20s.
Maybe 30s.
I don't know.
But anyways, I was sampling it.
It was a great sample, but I couldn't release it without getting sued.
So then I've been hyping this stuff up on my story all the time.
And then he puts one out with that sample.
And it's like the exact same flow that I had on the song that I previewed a bunch.
But then, like, I don't know if he copied it from me or if he just thought of it himself.
But then, like, I ended up meeting the guy and he's really cool.
So no beef with shotgun Willie.
Okay.
Yes.
We don't want you having beef because we don't want him to get into one of these altercations with anyone that would hurt him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
People don't hurt me.
I hurt too many people when I go to jail and I break my hand and shit.
So this next tour, I'm hiring someone that's not necessarily security, but it's like a big person who's either security or like stop drunk Matt from fighting people.
Oh, really?
Because I've had a lot of, like, I've done that too many times.
Yeah.
Are you one of those humans that can turn?
Like, I feel that he could maybe snap and go from nice guy to elbow to the face pretty quick.
You get violent.
For me, you're from Minnesota.
You guys do that.
For me, it's like if anything comes out that's like, I have a lot of, like, if most of the altercations I've been in were because someone was being racial to a friend of mine.
And then, like, when that happens, like, I never, I never throw the first punch.
Like, I'll always get, get them pissed off.
I also, like, have, I don't, I don't mind frat dudes, but sometimes if I see like a douchey frack, I'll just kind of like, like, fuck with them a little bit, like make fun of them or something until they get pissed off.
Because when I'm drunk, I don't know why I like to start shit like that.
It's fun for me.
I got to stop because I broke my hand and I can rebreak it pretty easily.
Did you break it on what, a wall on someone?
No, I broke it on tour, actually, in New Zealand, and I was just cross-surfing.
I don't know what the fuck hit me in the hand, but I just got hit in the hand really hard.
But I've been in a ton of fights now at this point, and I need to just chill out.
Yeah, you have too much to lose now.
He has a Tesla.
We came in here together and it...
Yeah.
Nice car.
But like, for me, it's...
Automatic drive.
Yeah, it was on.
He took his hands off.
He's like, I hope this doesn't make you nervous.
And he hit auto drive.
And I got to admit, I was nervous.
I was nervous.
Damn.
The car was driving itself as he was texting, but he forewarned me.
But that's what these kids do.
He's 23. Oh, yeah.
Who knows what he's doing?
Yeah, man.
But I got to have someone around me to just be like, yo, don't do that.
Don't fight with people.
Because for me, it's like, I'm tall enough where if it's a drunk kid and like, I could throw one really hard haymaker and knock somebody out easily.
Like, I had a friend who knocked someone out too hard in Minnesota and they died and went to jail for six years.
Oh, shit.
So how do rappers collaborate with one another?
Like, do you guys hit each other up on the, like, did you guys do any collaborations?
We're going to.
We're going to.
Can I speak for on that?
He hit me on Twitter.
Similar to how we met, I met some of my best friends on social media.
And as much as we hate social media, sometimes you make amazing friends on Twitter and Instagram.
And it ain't just about getting laid and talking shit.
You can actually make good, true, good friends, like YouTube.
He hit me up just like I hit you up.
And next thing you know, I'm subletting my home to him.
And he's like, I need a place to stay in LA.
I'm going to get a hotel.
I'm like, just take my crib.
I'll be in Asia.
Just throw me a little loot and take the crib for a month.
So he did.
He helped me out.
I kind of needed the loot.
He needed a place.
And next thing you know, he's in my home.
And I'm like telling my neighbors, yo, my boy's staying over.
Now we're friends.
And we're going to do a song together eventually.
We just haven't yet.
Long-winded way of making sure.
Maybe some TV shit.
Yeah, yeah.
I want to produce a show for him.
That came showing me a lot of fun.
Yeah, he has such a good eye for like just, I don't know, man.
He just has, his tastes are really usually spot on.
Like, he's introduced me to so many things that I love.
Yeah, how do you, like, how do you figure out, like, is it weird to figure out how to go from like doing music into entertainment?
Does it even matter anymore?
Do you think it was different whenever you were rapping a lot, Simon?
So real quick, when you're asking about meeting up with people to collaborate, funny story, me and Baby No Money, who now is like my...
We're like brothers in the fucking rap industry.
We're dropping a whole project very soon.
We've done 20 plus songs together.
Anyways, I met him on SoundCloud.
I had 120 followers and he had 200.
So that's like nothing.
He DM'd me.
He's like, yo, man, your shit's dope.
And like literally from nothing, we like became tight.
I started helping him with his style.
He helped me with some things, mixing and all this shit.
And like now we're like best friends and we're turning the world together and stuff.
It's crazy how that type of shit can happen.
But literally like that little amount of followers, it's just crazy how early it started.
It reminds me so much of me and Mickey and Legacy.
He's doing exactly what me and Mickey and Legacy did.
I see it.
I'm like, dude, they're just having fun.
You can hear it through the song.
It's contagious.
They're not taking themselves too serious, but they can rap and it's fun.
And I'm attracted to that.
That's what I like.
I want to have fun.
I don't want to be, you know what I mean?
But sometimes they'll listen to some thuggish shit, but like they're having fun and they can rap.
I love it.
Yeah.
Did you guys ever work with other artists?
Yeah, lots.
I mean, I always tell people, like, I could retire tomorrow.
I did a song with Too Short.
I did a song with Too Live Crew and I met the ghetto boys and worked with them.
Those are my three favorite rappers I grew up on.
I'm like, if you would have told me at any point in my life that I'd be working with my three favorite like people who inspired my style, I'd be like, get the fuck out of here.
There's no way.
So it could be over tomorrow and I did it, but somehow I still keep meeting people like him and working.
It's just crazy.
Same thing with me, exactly.
My favorites have always been Juicy J, Young Thug Action Bronson.
Met all them, did a song with Juicy J, got one in the works with Action Bronson.
It's all I got to bring you to Alchemist because he's Action Bronson's dude, and I'm always over at Al's, and I just would tell him about him about you the other day.
So I always got to, like, me and Al are always finding new shit.
I got to bring you to Al's because that would be a dope collab.
Do you start to find that you're like, so do you start to find that you're more of an artist than a rapper?
Do you start to find that you're more of an entertainer than a rapper?
I'm just kind of curious as to how like it it expands from one into the other.
Some people stay exactly in one medium, you know?
You mean when you say entertainer, are you trying to say like touring and all that?
No, like an actor, like a possible, like a host.
Oh, okay.
Like as you get into other types of stuff.
For me right now, all I've done is literally like writing my own music and then doing stuff for like syncs for like TV and commercials and stuff.
And then I've done writing for other artists.
I've done pretty much just music stuff, but I want to get in.
Adult swims talk to me.
You know Kung Fury?
Kung Fury now.
You ever heard of that?
Kung Fury?
No.
It's like a movie?
Oh, that's crazy.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I know he's been doing it.
There's some movies coming out.
But that's not a new movie.
It's been out.
Yeah, but they're potentially making a sequel.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
It was kind of like a cheesy movie.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they're making a few other movies that like, I'm going to be doing more.
Yeah.
Oh, that movie's amazing.
You should watch it.
You're going to be an actor.
Look, to answer your question, for me, I can only speak for myself.
I came in to rap way after I was doing hosting and acting and all these things just because in Hollywood, if you just put all your eggs in one basket and wait for the phone to ring, you're going to go crazy.
So I always had to, now I'm podcasting.
I do music.
I do acting.
I'll host whatever.
I do all that shit.
For him, right now, as an MC, I don't want to speak for you, but tell me if I'm wrong.
You're coming into the game as a rapper, but he's going to end up doing some like TV.
He's going to be like, I don't know who to compare you to, but I could see you totally getting into comedy.
You could do whatever you want.
He's got the whole package, I think.
Because he's funny, dude.
He's a funny.
Yeah.
I mean, I was going to maybe be, I had an offer to just like voice a guest appearance on Rick and Morty, and then I missed my flight.
Oh.
Yeah.
So that would be that.
That would have been the first one.
I don't remember.
It was something like that.
I peed on my phone one time.
I missed a whole weekend of shows.
I was supposed to, I'd set my phone alarm.
I got drunk and I slept on my phone and then urinated on it.
Damn.
This was like back in the early 2000s.
Yeah, this is like my first phone.
Yeah, it's probably about 2000, maybe 9. It's like a no-key.
Oh, that's a good idea.
And I peed on that sucker, man.
I was so upset about it.
Because then by that time, by the time I got up, I missed my flight.
And they're like, I just don't come on.
I pissed on my phone right now.
And they didn't have me come for five years.
That club wouldn't let me come for five years at least.
man.
But I have a really gnarly story.
Oh, I want to hear that.
Can you cut things out?
Huh?
If it's too gnarly, we'll tell you.
Okay, so it's going to be too gnarly, but I want to tell you guys anyways.
So I had this, there's this girl that I was with for a while.
She was kind of my girlfriend, but we were really tight.
This was way back in late high school, maybe early college.
I don't know why I felt the need to do this, but I was like just learning about the no fap shit on Reddit, where it's like, oh, if you don't jerk off, you're gonna get increased test, testosterone, brain power, whatever.
So I hadn't, I hadn't jerked off for like 30 days.
I was like out of the out of the state or something like that.
Like, I'm home.
Yeah.
That's not easy, isn't it?
And I came home and I was with her.
Started hooking up.
Started hooking up and I'm in it for like 45 seconds and it's that time.
And I was like, man, it's going to be a high yield.
So I pull out and I'm like, I don't know what came about me.
I was just in my like furious, like about a nut zone.
And I just like aimed for her dresser and just came all over her like wallet and phone and all of her like position.
Really?
I just like a big nut.
It was disgusting.
And I felt so horrible after.
I'm like, I'm sorry.
I don't know why I did that.
But I just like nutted on her phone, fucking like watch, like wallet.
The whole kitchen.
She burnt keys.
I was just like, oh, that nutshell.
I feel like for one second, I became like an evil villain.
And then it was just like 30 days of no, no nuts.
And you couldn't even enjoy the nut because you're probably a good person.
You felt guilty while coming.
No.
No.
I felt great while coming, then I felt guilty immediately after.
Damn.
So that was, yeah.
Dude, that's a great thing.
We'll decide later if we want to keep that in our life.
Yeah, that's pretty.
I mean, it's look, it's something, yeah, it happens.
It's hard sometimes because if you don't know how much nut is inside of your body.
Oh, I had a wet dream.
It was more than I'd ever, yeah.
I had two wet dreams in the last six months.
Did you really?
Yeah, yeah.
That's crazy.
I know.
I'm 45. Oh, that's amazing.
I know.
I told my therapist enter a contest.
You're 45. I'm 39. You should enter a contest, bro.
They should have a wet dreamers contest where you get to watch them on a dark camera or whatever at night and you see the guys hand.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I woke up laughing both times, and it's crazy because that's usually what happens as a teenager.
I mean, let's be real.
When was the last time you had wet dreams?
I don't think I've ever had a wet dream.
Oh, shit.
You haven't?
You're Swedish, though.
Yeah, I was going to say it's an Icelandish region.
Y'all Twitter.
I think it's a sub-Saharan desert.
Bro, if you're dumb, it's close as fuck.
Well, I think it's a great thing to do because I've done the no-fat thing.
He got me on the porn blocks, which I still have on my phone, which is, you know.
That's cool.
It's cool, but it's not.
And so it builds up sometimes, you know, I have a wet dream.
And that shit was crazy.
These robots were sucking my two at the same time.
They're on the crank.
They were Asian girls, which I'm not attracted to, but I don't mean to be racist.
I'm just not attracted to Asian women.
And they were both on a crank system.
Oh.
Wow.
Are they robots?
Yeah, they were like face.
Damn, bro.
They were Asian robots, dude.
That doesn't surprise me.
Asian people have a very, sometimes a lot, some Asian people, Japanese people have a very robotic sense of style sometimes.
We almost hit one, and what did I tell you?
Oh, yeah.
In the parking lot.
She had no emotion to almost getting run over by a Priest, and he was driving.
It wasn't auto-driving.
But in a good way, it was like she was like, she's not going to freak out.
Right.
I'm not going to sacrifice.
I'm going to go to heaven or wherever.
And I'm going to come right back.
I need to become more Asian.
I've hooked up with a crazy Asian girl.
They're called Crazians.
I thought she was awesome, man.
I guess I don't.
And I'm not going to be able to do it.
No robot experiences at all.
Is that racist?
No, I don't think it's racist.
It's just my preference.
Nowadays, everything's racist, but I just don't find as...
So maybe subconsciously and they were on a crank system.
That's beautiful.
Beautiful, though.
I can't believe it.
I love that.
It's beautiful.
It's organized.
So I think maybe my inability to have wet dreams is like, sometimes I'll have a morning wood that lasts like 45 minutes.
Isn't that crazy?
It's fucked up.
Like that happened this morning and I just moved into this new, or I'm staying with some people that I don't know that well.
And I'm like trying to go take a piss or like shower.
And I'm like, man, I can't leave this room right now because we're all on the same floor.
There's this one bathroom.
I'm like, dude, I'm going to walk out there with my shit like straight up.
Wow.
Yeah.
And it wouldn't go away.
It was literally like 30 to 40 minutes.
Dude, I would drink some of your blood just to have that kind of activity in my penis.
You know?
Yeah, but then again, I'll fucking have like six, six fucking drinks and I get a whiskey dick.
Man, I don't know what it is.
It's like something about the morning.
It's just like, I go crazy.
Morning wood.
Well, there's something, I think your brain, when it calms down, it really likes to have sex, you know, and that's why.
When you relax a little.
Yeah, when you relax, you know.
I love getting up in the morning and seeing if my penis is hard.
It's like Christmas for your hand, you know, I'll reach down there and see if it's hard.
Sometimes I wake up with wood.
I'm like, I can't believe I still can, at 45, still get that turned on by, I don't know what.
By nothing.
By my own breathing, usually a lot of times, because I breathe really kind of sexy at night.
I've been told that.
So I'm not shocked that I wake up directly.
You breathe sexy at night?
Yeah, just the way I kind of...
Yeah, the way I kind of...
Can you, like, I don't know if you know what a, can you breathe for me?
Sexily?
I mean, I can try.
Let me see what I can do.
That's hot.
That is pretty fucking hot.
I'm not going to lie.
That's Wim Hot.
Wim Hot.
Wait, you're talking about like, wait, Wim Hot.
Is that Wim Hofko?
Yeah.
The Wim Hofko's the breather guy?
Yeah.
Oh, we did that on tour a little bit.
It was so funny, man.
Like, one dude put us onto this to Wim Hoff, and then all these people that he barely knew is like the second day of tour is like, we just hired a new whole team.
Every once in a while, they're all like, what the fuck?
Who the fuck are these guys?
Hey, look, that's just a real man.
My dad teaches breathwork for a living.
He's a breathwork coach since the 80s.
I've been around him my whole life.
Really?
Yeah, I had Wim on the podcast, too, and talked to him about it.
And I had Wim Hoff on the pod.
I've done ice with him.
He's the homie.
Your boy teaches me, does breathing with me sometimes at the gym.
Shout out to Certified Health Nut.
Yeah, he told me he was meet up with you.
So that technique.
Look, that technique works.
You could get high off of breathwork.
If you just do that pattern of holotropic breathing in through the mouth, if you lay on the ground and do that for 20 minutes, your hands will cramp up and you'll hallucinate.
It's free drugs.
It's free drugs.
Dude, I did it in London.
I was tired.
I did.
I had to work shows.
I worked.
I did do shows in London.
I was exhausted.
And so I would do that before a bunch of the shows, man.
How did those shows go?
The show's been good, man.
The show's been good.
It gave me like a breath of fresh air.
Then I went and jumped in the shower, just ice cold for about a minute and a half.
It works, man.
Man, it was just like I'd gone to the gym.
I just needed something to make me feel okay enough to get on stage.
Well, that's just not.
That's where I meditate before every show.
That helps so much.
I mean, it's the same concept.
Yeah, some things work.
Those work.
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, I was southern in a different interview of yours.
Yeah, I just do 10 minutes of meditation every day in the morning.
And for me, it really, it definitely, after a while, it gives me a moment of pause between choices that I make because usually I'm like real reactive.
Like whatever's going on, I'm just, it's a reaction before I have a chance to think and then make a choice, you know?
And so meditation for me gives me a little bit of that pause in there where it's like, okay.
Can I sound really smart right now?
Yeah.
I just read, there's a book called Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, and there's a quote that he says, "Between stimulus and response, there's a space." And that space is our power to Oh, no.
Between stimulus and response, there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose.
Oh, fuck, now I forgot it.
Can you look it up?
Between stimulus and response, there's a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.
What that means is that exactly what you just said, Theo, instead of being reactionary, in that moment when you, and I had it happen today, I went all the way to the Santa Monica parking place and I got mad because I didn't have the right paperwork.
And in that moment, I could have chose to not get upset and be a little bitch.
But what I did was I was a little bitch.
And I was like, fuck, I should have remembered that quote and what Theo's going to say later, which is in that when you meditate and you get in that zone, you're not as reactionary and you could be more of a Jedi motherfucker and not just be, because it's too easy to just get pissed off and shit.
So I'm working on that one.
So that's the quote that I always tell myself between stimulus.
Think of it.
Let's break it down.
Between stimulus and response, there's a space.
So someone hits you on the arm, right?
And you get mad like, man, fuck you.
But instead of getting mad, you stop.
In that space is our power to choose our response, right?
So in that moment, you can choose, you know, I'm not going to get mad.
Yeah, let me be how I want to be.
Yeah, let me think about a plan of action.
Yeah, I even like it just even in conversation sometimes.
It's like, sometimes, especially on podcasts, you get to talking and things just go in like a, it starts to become like this, like pentameter kind of, where it's like, it's just like a, I think it's like a series of notes, like the way like a series of notes work or something.
Like it becomes like a, like it's just like a.
There's no flow?
Yeah, it just becomes like I talk, you talk.
I talk.
You know, just like this beat kind of happens after a while or something.
But then I like it sometimes when, yeah, there's a little more space sometimes and you can just kind of like it gives you a chance to like come at things from a different angle.
Sometimes you get stuck in these kind of, sometimes even in podcasting, I notice it the most because you're like, people feel like we need to talk, you know?
For me, I just killed stress and then like you can just completely clear your mind out.
Like I make myself go to sleep off meditation, all that.
I don't know.
You taught me a good lesson.
Theo taught me a very good lesson.
He was my first guest on my podcast and he told me, can I give you a note?
I said, yeah.
He's like, just slow down, right?
Just slow it down.
And I'm eating can be at high, operate at high levels.
Yeah.
Oh, I, yeah.
Last night he thought I was on Coke and I'm like, no, this is me sober.
Right.
I don't know.
You don't know.
No, I'm, I don't, I'm, this is sober.
Yeah.
And I got to slow down.
I went to therapy today, and he just kept telling me, slow down, because I'm dumping all this shit on him.
He's like, slow down.
I'm like, fuck, that's what Theo told me.
That's what everyone told me.
But my brain goes really fast because I'm a neurotic Jew.
And I'm sometimes that way too.
Not Jewish, but I also, that's when I need to meditate is when my brain's going way too fast.
I'll have like an idea.
I'll try to write it down.
I'll have another thing come up.
Oh, I got to do this.
My brain wants to do coat.
For me, it's like, oh, I need to go like invest in some property in Detroit right now.
Or I need to go fucking do all this shit.
And it's like, I don't know, man.
Have you seen Flint Town on Netflix?
It's a docuseries on Netflix.
I want to see it.
I'm going to Flint.
My good friend said to watch it.
I heard it.
It's good, man.
David is from Dan Longneck is from over there.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Dude, Flint Town is good, man.
Is that the water problem movie?
Yeah, they got dirty water, dude.
They got dirty politics.
Everything over there has got dirt in it.
I'm going to Michigan in a few.
I don't know when this air is, but I'm going to do a show in Michigan.
I love Michigan.
You can feel Detroit's having a comeback.
You know, when you go to certain cities on tour, you travel.
I travel.
If I was a billionaire or even a millionaire, there's some cities I go to where I'm like, I would be buying something right here.
Like you just said.
Detroit's one of those cities that's on the come up.
You can feel it.
Same with Reno.
Reno, you go to Reno was the worst shithole ever.
My mom lives right near there.
Every time I go there, I'm like, oh, shit, because Tesla got the shit there now.
But it's a fact that these places are coming up.
And I just bought a place in Joshua Tree, which I can't wait for you guys to come out to.
Yeah, I want to get out there.
I saw they got a little hot tub out there, buddy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I want to get out in it, man.
I got to get out sometimes.
It's a balance.
I think we're all kind of crazy to do what we do to be in this business.
Sometimes you got to go.
Oh, yeah.
It's hard to settle down in this town.
Let's get this.
Here's a question that came in.
You guys gave a good answer to this.
This man had an issue.
We talked about it the other day on the podcast, and so this is actually perfect.
You guys are here.
Yo.
D.O., this is Jeff, aka Lil Water Socks, calling from Pombay, Florida.
First, my daughter and I were talking and said, we're going to be pretty mad if you don't come back as Uncle Baby Billy's son in the second season of Righteous Gemstones.
I think that'd be fire.
I'm asking him.
But yeah, so I'm 36. I rap.
And sometimes I feel like maybe it's not as cool to be a 36-year-old rapper as it would be to be in a band or maybe in a stand-up comic.
Just wondering, is that weird?
What do you guys think?
Is it weird to be a quote-unquote unsuccessful rapper still rapping?
I love it.
I mean, I have a good job.
I make cheerleading music, actually, for a living.
But, you know, I feed the kids and all that.
But, you know, I have this little passion on the side.
Doesn't get too much love.
So how could he, yeah, not lame.
Not lame.
I think that's cool.
He makes cheerleading music.
I didn't know that was a thing.
And he sounds happy, didn't he?
He's smart for being able to make cheerleading music.
He's a dude, first of all.
And if he's rapping at that age, I mean, any age, like, if you're making good shit, then you're, you know, he's probably, his influences are different than what most of the kids rapping nowadays Are going to be so it's going to be unique.
And I think, I mean, Matt Ox blew up because he was 12 when he started rapping and he blew up.
So it's like, what if there was a 55-year-old rapper putting out dope ass shit or a 65-year-old rapper?
You know, so it's like, I don't think the age at all matters.
Do you think how much marketing would have to like?
Do you think he would have to have a neat spit?
Like, I'm just trying to wonder, yeah, how does a guy, because yeah, the way you present yourself and everything is part of it.
Not like I'm saying change his clothes, but his style or if I was him, I would go for like dope ass dad, like dad who's out here flexing, like, you know, or like, yeah, I don't even know.
Go for like a.
Dick, maybe would be a good name.
Yeah, dad bod.
Go for like a.
Dad bod.
I actually had a big trademark dispute where someone else trademarked Young Gravy before I could, and it was a ridiculous amount of money it went into.
It was so.
What company was it?
It was Hormel?
It was, no, it was another kid who tried to rap around the name Young Gravy.
Yeah.
And he was like, but Skiddy was like, no listens or anything.
And I literally had to drop like probably $170K into lawyer fees and paying them off and all this shit to just get the name Young Gravy back.
And I was like, at one point, I was like, I'm just going to change my name to Daddy Gravy.
So I feel like if it's him, he could be Daddy Whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
Young Gravy got a better ring, though.
One syllable, two syllables.
Young Gravy sounds better.
Dirt, nasty.
It's something about the one-to-two.
I thought about that thief.
Brad Pitt.
John Nee Depp.
Simon Rex, Miss Bob Odenker.
Yeah.
Janet for Lopez.
You know, there's a whole.
Dude, Bob Odenkirk, I did a show this weekend in Vegas, and he had been to the show before.
He'd just gone to the show, whatever the show was before me, and he left a note backstage for me.
It was pretty nice.
What he said, was it like, fuck you?
Yeah, it was like, yeah, hey, sorry, I'm not coming to your show.
That's what the note was.
But still, it was pretty sweet of him.
Bob Odenkirk's allege.
Cheer dad, the cheer dad.
Yeah, maybe he could do something wild if he's cheer.
If he got cheerleaders around him, I'm trying to think what he could do.
He could have a sick-ass dance team behind him if he just gets something nice.
So he could have that dance team right behind him.
He could be like a cheer coach vibe.
Yeah.
And then track suit, maybe.
Yeah.
So it's kind of like a Slav squat, like a Russian hood.
So he's got the gangster look with the track suit.
Yeah.
But he's got hot cheerleaders.
You can't go wrong with the hot cheerleaders.
That's never going to get old.
I forgot why I put these.
Oh, yeah.
I wanted to talk about some crazy stories.
I want to hear some crazy stories or something.
I want to get it turnt up in here.
All right, let's go into one then.
Do you want to hear one?
Or do you have one?
Yeah, I don't know.
I want to hear.
You're from the deep south, as I can tell.
I'll tell you a story.
So they used to have these guys that would have these parties, right?
And so they would have parties around town.
And so one time they said, okay, we're having a party.
And so everybody was all excited, you know, all week and everything.
How old are you?
I'm 39. I mean, no, how old were you at the party?
I was probably maybe 14. Okay, 14. So we went to the party, dude.
We were excited.
Actually, a cop I remember gave us a ride out to the fucking party.
A cop?
Yeah.
How does that work?
He was in our neighborhood right before we went on duty.
So, because he was dating this girl from our neighborhood.
And the girl was your...
Okay, interesting.
So anyway, this cop dropped us off, and we're walking out.
They had this huge field between where the party was.
They had like a house.
You could hear music and stuff, lights on.
And you're walking up, and these people, this time, though, had set an electric fence right in the middle of this field.
It was a dark field.
You didn't know.
And people got fucking lit up, dude.
And two of my buddies got lit up really, really good.
They hit the electric fence?
Yeah, hit the electric fence.
Did you saw them in a cartoon?
You don't see it like that, but you hear them so loud, you almost feel like you can see light.
I haven't done that, but we used to drive out to the suburbs of my hometown, and there's the farmland shit.
We go party at fuckers' barns and shit.
And the cops would come, and everyone would run out into the cornfields.
So I had nights of running away through cornfields with my bros.
You get hit in the face with a corn stalk.
Yeah.
Just fucking take it.
Yeah, it gets it going.
And you're out in the middle of nowhere.
And some of the girl kept saying, oh, this ain't really, it's not electric.
And she went back and touched it again.
I remember.
In Tech's last shot, I was shooting music videos.
I met this really dope dude, goes by Brock Daddy, who was just like, his whole family was like a fan of my music.
Way early days.
I just was like, random fans, I'll go stay at their house.
It was like back when I could do that.
Oh, yeah.
And they're really dope.
And one of his best friends is like a descendant of the Campbell Soup family.
So he's like a billionaire.
And he has like his own private zoo.
So we went there and we shot a video with like fuck with fucking rhinos and giraffes and all that.
But they also had like the biggest collection of guns ever.
So we got to like shoot Barrett 50 cals, grenade launchers.
And it was like, bro, this is some crazy shit.
In Texas, you can just get this shit, you know?
I'm sure Louisiana is kind of similar.
No, Texas has that, man.
That's Texas.
Yeah, Texas, you get big animals, snakes.
You know, you'll have a dude living in a two-bedroom apartment and he's got a fucking rhinoceros in a shower.
Like, they got, you know what I'm saying?
Texas has the craziest, the most wild, like, animals that aren't supposed to be in America are in Texas.
Yeah, I know a friend of mine is really wealthy from Texas, and they have an animal, like, preserve out there where you can go hunting with what, like, it's like Africa in America.
Yeah, like, it's like wild animals there.
That's crazy.
So, so, but, like, guns and shit, those are obviously easy to get in Louisiana.
Yeah, we had a guy, I worked on this farm for a while, and he had this, um, it was like a thing that had a laser in it, and it could fucking saw through a tree.
It was like an illegal gun.
Was it a laser gun?
Or the laser lined up the bullets, or the laser shot.
No, the laser, you pressed a button.
It was a laser.
Yeah.
It was insane.
That's wild.
Because, like, like, I'm most likely going to move to Atlanta in this next year.
And, like, I do have a number of kind of weird stalkers that are crazy.
And, like, I tried to get a gun in Minnesota because they're threatening to come to my house, and you can't.
It's so hard.
Or you can get a gun in Atlanta.
You'd probably get one at the fucking concert.
I know in Georgia, it's pretty easy.
So, like, I'd.
Yeah.
You got to get some guns, dude.
Yeah.
I mean, just one, you know, and a lot of times they'll go to the studio, like, in the hood, and I'll be the only one in there without a strap.
Good thing, like, I have good friends in Atlanta that'll be figuring out for me, but like.
At the Marriott, Buckhead, Marriott, Buckhead, Atlanta, you can get bullets at the Ritz-Carlton dude in Atlanta, bro.
You get whatever you want, dude.
Atlanta.
They got some big asses over there, too, man.
Oh, man, I've spent so much time in Atlanta already.
I was telling them earlier, I um I fought my Uber driver one time, she was this really sexy, uh, dark-skinned from uh where she was originally from, but she she was like one of the Caribbean islands, and and yeah, man, it was it was dope.
And then, I mean, obviously, she was driving me around, didn't have to pay for the ride, and then we went and got Waffle House.
Okay, so the whole thing started, I was, I was leaving a video shoot, it was a Zaytoven music video shoot with Lil Yachty and some, and uh, Lokied.
You all know them?
Maybe I don't know little Lil Keek?
Lil' Keed.
Okay, Lil' Keed.
So then I met these two girls there, and then we get an Uber.
We get an Uber to go to Waffle House, and then the Uber driver is just like, oh, what's good, Lilia?
And so she comes into Waffle House with us, and we're like all in there with a bottle of Patron, and the Waffle House people working there are drinking with us.
I started pouring Patron into their cups, so we're like drinking with the employees, and we ended up getting our food for free.
And then she just drops the other two girls off, and I just, I clapped.
I clapped, and it was awesome, man.
I'm still staying touch with her.
She comes on my shows in Atlanta.
It's awesome.
And did she come out to you?
Did you go to her place or she came to your place?
She came to my friend's house and on the couch.
It was cool.
Wow.
I was seeing the good friends.
Man, I miss being 23. Remember those days?
I didn't have Uber back then, but.
I mean, she wasn't, she was 20 or 30. No, but your lifestyle.
Yeah, you'll sleep on somebody's couch.
Shopping for guns, sleeping on couches, having sex with drivers.
It must be fun.
I sit around going, what am I doing in my life?
I'm going to try to coach them how to go down the right road and not make the mistakes.
Uncle Dirt's going to help them out.
I'm nobody to tell you what to do or not do.
I'm the worst person for life advice, but I think I can steer the ship a little bit and be like, don't stay away from this person.
Don't do that drug.
It gets risky, man.
I appreciate that.
It gets risky, bro.
And I've honestly, I've had enough experiences where I've learned.
I've been to jail three times.
I've had bad, like, I've had friends OD.
I've had like done like every drug.
I've experienced enough now where I think I'm smart.
Other than the fighting shit, that's the last thing I got to get over it.
But I'm getting there.
Yeah, maybe you could wear like, yeah, or just wear soft gloves or something after a certain hour.
Walk around with boxing gloves on, no.
Yeah.
Or something soft.
No, boxing gloves is going to be like, oh, somebody could fight you, bro.
Right, that'll draw the wrong attention.
Cotton hands or something.
Like some isotoners.
Yeah, something soft, bro.
Like a driving mitt.
Remember driving gloves?
You don't see those too often.
A lot of Asian women wear them.
In some Asian cultures, driving gloves are a big thing.
And you see a lot of actual drivers, like, you know, fancy drivers, a lot of real rich people.
If you have a wooden steering wheel, if you're that rich, dude, fuck that guy.
People who have the wooden steering wheel, dude?
Dude, that's so cool.
I mean, I would pay for just a steering wheel.
You should get a wood steering wheel on the Tesla.
What I want to do is get, I have wood grain and everything else.
What I want to get is just like, like I was talking to Tony him, a Chevelle, like a throwback Chevy.
And a lot of those have the wood grain already on the wheel.
El Camino would be nice, man.
You don't see those again.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this this morning with a friend of mine.
Remember the steering wheel knob?
They're super illegal, the knob on the wheel, so you could drive it like this, but if it gets caught on your pants, you'll crash.
So they made them illegal.
But you could still see them in Asia.
I just saw them everywhere in Asia.
And you know, I realized something, man.
Stereotypes usually are true within the American border and maybe Canada.
But sometimes stereotypes aren't, stereotypes are not true.
Asian people can't drive.
I was just in Asia.
They drive amazing.
I was the one driving bad, and it made me realize, wait a minute, I had an epiphany.
Is it crazy being places like that where it's like driving is so hectic that it's perfect, Dave?
It's perfect.
And I was like, oh, wait a minute.
Maybe Asian people come to America and they have a hard time with our way of the way we drive and the rules and the flow.
But they were incredible drivers.
And I was the one who was like fucking up.
And it was a reverse stereotype.
And I wonder if in Asia they're like, oh, white people can't drive or Americans can't drive.
I think in America, it's so blocked.
Everything here is like, so it's like blocks.
There in Asia, shit gets risky.
You're like, this road turns into a river in 70 feet.
So you got to be fucking ready.
They'll have 90 people on motor scooters.
They'll have somebody on a piece of wood, somebody on somebody's back.
Dude, we used to play basketball.
We had a kid that didn't have any legs on our team one time, his boy Alton Hollins.
And this other big kid, this big dude on our team named Terrence, had to fucking carry him throughout the game and hit the fucking yellow.
That's lit.
That's big.
That's cute.
And he finally scored in like the last game.
And the worst part was he was the worst shot.
So constantly, Terrence would be holding him and he would get the shot right onto the fucking goal and he would miss it every time.
After like the seventh or eighth time, you're like, man, fuck this dude.
Even though we didn't have legs, like in the beginning, you're like, oh, yeah, let's get it for him.
Let's do it for him, Rudy Rudiger.
So by the seventh or eighth miss, you're like, did Terrence and him combine?
What's his name again with the no legs?
Alton Hollis.
Alton and Terrence, did they combine?
And he was homosexual.
Five on five.
That's a little bit.
Eventually.
Oh, okay.
That's dope.
He was then, too.
He just didn't know it.
He was not.
I mean, he was sucky.
That's a whole argument we could have whether or not you're born that way.
Okay.
My point, if it was 5 on 5, did Terrence and him accumulate to be one person or were they two people?
No, no, no, it counted as that was two players.
Oh, that's quite an advantage for the other team.
Yeah.
So at that point, you're kind of down 5-4, but it was cool, man.
And he's a good guy.
I saw him not too long ago.
I saw him about four or five years ago.
That's sweet.
You got great.
You know what would be a cool show would be all these stories that you have to either.
I got to see some of these characters.
You always tell great stories of your hometown.
I just don't know.
Yeah, sometimes, yeah, we just grew up in a wild place, man.
What did you say it's called?
Oh, just Covington, Louisiana.
Covington, and it's what's the closest big city?
New Orleans.
Which is how far?
Probably about one hour.
Drive or walk?
It's crazy.
Yeah, it's just weird.
Yeah, there's enough weirdness that comes out of the city.
You can walk.
It would take you probably almost two days.
Off the 10?
Did you take the 10?
I probably did that a couple times.
Yeah, I'd walk under the 10. I'd walk to the movie theater, dude.
We'd have to leave at 2 p.m.
to get there at 7 p.m.
Remember, I lived in Shreveport and I'd hit you up like, this place is a trip.
And he's like, I'm from Louisiana, and I don't go to Shreveport or something.
Yeah, it just gets real quiet over there.
I've been to Louisiana one time for a show in House of Blues, New Orleans.
Oh, yeah.
At a time.
You know what I actually experienced there was.
This is my only story from Louisiana.
I got there.
I was like super, I don't even know.
I was like passed out all day.
I go up in there, I switch my meet and greet till after the show.
I walk up into the green room.
There's this dude named Kale that I'm good friends with, who's like a dancer dude on Instagram and whatnot.
Funny ass guy, Kale Saw Rage.
I don't know.
Shout out to him.
Oh, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
Country boy.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Kale Sores.
He pulled up with his friends and a bunch of these girls.
And then I'm just like, I mean, I was already kind of drunk.
And I was just like, I think within five minutes, this girl comes up to me and she's really pretty.
And she's like, yo, like, I got to show you something in the bathroom.
And I was like, all right.
I was like, word, I'm drunk.
So then I go up in the bathroom and like within another three, four minutes, we're doing it.
And my fucking, I look to my left and my, my boy, Savage, had been taking a shit in the stall.
So I'm hitting it on the sink.
He's in the stall and he's like, I'm like, bro, you got it.
You got it.
So he like sneaks out behind and I was kind of like covering up that whole area.
But it was like a real quick, it was like the quickest meeting someone, doing it while your friend's shitting.
And then and then I found out like, and then like within like 10 minutes later, she started showing me pictures of her baby.
I was like, oh, well, she has a kid, too.
And I was like, well, this is.
Did he courtesy flush or you smell like shit?
I was like, Night rope.
Is this happening?
Where is this?
What is this?
Like 25 minutes in New Orleans.
Yeah.
I have more fun with minorities quite often.
Oh, dude.
I love a little.
I get around to a couple of beautiful Koreans, dude, and I can't even contain myself.
Really?
Yeah, because I just get so nervous a lot of times.
Korean movies are my favorite movies.
Yeah, they're great movies.
They make amazing movies.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, I could put you on a few.
Old Boy's a good one.
Old Boy's one of my favorite movies.
I tried to watch Old Boy.
I couldn't get into it.
Oh, try again.
Everybody was dressed a little bit like, I felt like there's Jehovah's Witness.
You know what I'm saying?
You might have watched the wrong movie.
Yeah, maybe I did.
You might have watched the American version of it.
Yeah, don't watch the American one.
Old Yeller is what I saw, actually.
Oh, yeah, different version.
Totally different.
Man, I think that's, I appreciate you guys coming in today, man.
I appreciate it.
It's awesome, bro.
Yeah.
Don't want to talk about anything else?
You got to leave?
Huh?
You got to leave?
No, I don't know how long we'll be going.
We got 140.
That's a long episode.
That's a long ass episode.
That's really long.
We cut some shit out and talk about some more funny shit.
No.
I mean, we can't.
You guys want to go get a drink with something?
Yeah, well, he doesn't drink.
Yeah, I keep drinking cocaine.
Let's just talk.
Let's cut it.
Let's call it and keep talking in real life without recording.
And can I be really cheesy?
I got to plug one thing.
I want to tell anyone that's listening that is so inclined to go check out Nervous Rex.
I'm about to have you on there.
I've had Theo on there.
I've had some great, amazing people that I know on there.
And I've been doing it about a year, and I'm starting to get some really interesting people.
I just meet everyone.
I'm doing it.
Yeah, you're doing it this week, I think.
Nervous Rex.
We'll get crazy.
Let's get weird.
I'll do my.
Let's get weird.
I want to get Baby No Money on there.
Yeah, oh, absolutely.
So it's out there.
And what about any new music you got?
Oh, I got always putting out new music.
That's what's cool about this new generation.
They just put out songs, video, song videos.
Not like it used to be when we grew up, like album a year, 12 songs.
It's like now it's just putting shit.
I got a single drop in like three days, and then our album drops Valentine's Day.
See?
And then I'm supposed to drop another EP with Dylan Francis before our tour, and the tour starts March 23rd.
There you go, plug that.
That's like within another month.
Or what we're plugging right now?
We could.
Plug what you got.
I'll plug stuff in the beginning for you guys, too.
When does this come out?
This will come out this week.
Tomorrow, maybe even.
Yeah, yeah.
Probably.
Tomorrow.
Well, I'll give a little secret announcement to these listeners because no one really knows exactly.
We said holiday season.
The holiday is Valentine's Day.
So Baby Gravy 2 will be dropping on Valentine's Day.
Twice the length of the original Baby Gravy EP.
Baby No Money Young Gravy.
Multiple features.
And it is some of our best work yet.
And then I will be doing an EP with Dylan Francis for our tour, which starts in March.
So y'all will be getting a lot of gravy in the next couple months.
And if you live in the South, we got about 20 shows in the South on this tour.
And then we got a couple in the Midwest and like two on the East Coast.
So Young Gravy, Dylan Francis.
Dirt Nasty will be at one of the shows as well.
Yeah, I'll be there.
Gang, bro.
I'm going to have to come through.
Yeah, my nephew.
Dude, yeah, my nephew's like one of your biggest fans, dude.
He was so call his little ass.
Actually, he's in rehab right now.
Oh, dope.
Perfect.
Thank you for that.
Yeah.
America's favorite condiment, Young Gravy.
Yeah.
And one of my good friends, Dirt Nasty Simorex.
Thank you guys so much, man.
Thank you, babe.
Yeah, it's been great.
Now, I'm just floating on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves.
I must be cornerstone.
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this piece of mind I found.
I can feel it in my bones.
But it's gonna take a little time for me to set that parking break and let myself on wine shine that light on me.
I'll sit and tell you my story.
Shine on me.
And I will find a song I will sing it just remotely.
And I will go away to the face.
