Shine that light on me I'll sit and tell you my stories Shine on me And I will find a song I will sing it to you And I will find a song Oh, man.
Dude, Gravy, baby.
Theo.
What's up?
Baby, I'm good, man.
It feels good to have a couple days off right now.
Yeah, thank you.
Thanks for coming in, man.
And we didn't plan this also.
We didn't plan this, yeah.
That's the camera right there that's watching us with all of them.
What are the odds of this?
Yeah, so I walked up with this purple sweater on and I was like, damn, how cute.
And then he pulls out the chains, too.
This is very, it's a beautiful moment.
Damn, we're a couple of lavender scavengers.
That's something.
There you go.
That's what Riff Raff would call us.
Miss that for my shoe also.
Gang, baby.
Damn.
Just right next to the ankle brace.
You know the vibes.
God, bro.
I love that shit.
Like, if you're going out, you're going to DFW, dog.
Oh, no.
VFW?
No, if you break out the house, you're going to DSW shoes, baby.
Oh, DSW, bro.
I thought you meant I was, you were trying to say some shit about VFW.
Like, I'm going to hang out with the troops?
The veterans, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, man.
Whenever Bobby Lee comes on stage, I'll always say, like, if I go on after him at the comedy store, I'll always be like, I always tell the copy, I'll be like, I'm going to drop you off at a VFW and let those boys finish things.
Dude, I always tell them that.
Because I think some of those guys fought like Vietnam.
Yeah, I'll guarantee.
Bro, your show.
So I went to your show the other night.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for coming.
Yeah, for setting me up.
Dude, it was like there's so many.
Did you see the guy?
There was a guy who brought his mother in an urn.
Did you see this guy?
No, I did not.
Yeah.
There's a guy who brought his mother in an urn and he's like, gravy was my mom's favorite.
She was like the MILF, you know, the MILF with the most or something he said.
And I was like, there's no way this dude's mother is in this urn.
And she was, man.
Was he in the back or was he on stage?
I mean, I'm sorry, in the crowd or was he?
He was in the crowd.
And you just talked, you spoke with him or you just yelled that shit out?
Oh, no.
I spoke with him.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So I was like, wow, you have people, non-living people coming.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, we want one over capacity.
I know.
I wonder if they charge him a ticket for it.
No, bro, it was crazy, man.
I love the fact you, there's one thing that I noticed about your whole, the whole thing you have going on to me.
It's like you kind of never know what's going to happen a little bit.
It's like an energy.
It's a music.
But it's like, do you want to be along for this journey?
And you had Soldier Boy came out.
You had Jesse McCartney.
That was with this show or this tour, myself and Baby No Money, my co-headliner.
Yeah, and he did a dude.
I wasn't familiar with him, and it was great, man.
He's sick.
Him and Tip.
The whole thing, just the energy was great.
But go on.
So, yeah, you got Baby No Money.
So, so we've been boys for like six years, and we're like, yo, he used to open for me, and then he had some hits, and he's really that kind of reach.
Like, we're kind of neck and neck, like same level.
Like, we're fucking doing this together.
So, I was like, yo, you got to do a big co-headline tour, but we got to make it epic.
So, like, we put so much money into the production and like planning it out.
We made like seven little acts that you probably saw where it's like both of us, and then one of us, and then the other one, and then both, and then blah, blah, blah.
And we fit in Soldier Boy and Freddie Dredd and Jesse.
Yeah, Freddie Dredd, I met him.
He's sick.
He's sick.
Yeah, dude.
He Seemed like an Amish guy that had fucking gone off as far as you could go from being Amish.
He's like, I'm about to remix the whole damn Bible, dude.
That doesn't hit it all.
It's crazy because he's like a quiet, like, chill little guy, but his lyrics are crazy.
He's talking about murdering people and shit.
He loves you, man.
He was so grateful to be a part of it.
He's fire, man.
I love the music.
Yeah, but just the whole thing.
Yeah, you like go through these moments.
It's like the lights will get down low and there's like people kind of slow dancing and people touching their own tits.
I saw people touching their own tits.
You don't see a lot of that.
That is facts.
Yeah, it was like, and then it gets to like these, like kind of these crescendo levels where it's just, it was just fun, man.
I'm glad you could see it, bro.
We literally play, I think it's 40 songs.
I think it's 41 throughout that set.
Yeah.
We don't do the full thing of every song, but yeah, I think we did about 41. It's like two-hour set.
And I love how it came out.
I love how it came out.
I found myself just, dude, I was just, I was just, it was good.
It was cute girls there, man.
I met a couple girls.
Yeah, baby.
I think I came up and dapped you up during like the Soldier Boy set.
Yeah, you did.
I had to sneak out with a little Montclair jacket on, and I was like all hidden.
Yeah, kind of hard to hide.
I mean, literally the tallest guy in the world comes by in a jacket.
It was like the abominable fucking flow, man, bro.
Abominable flow, man.
That's hard.
That's what it was, man.
So tell me a little bit about touring then, because is this the biggest tour you've ever done?
Yeah, I'd say so.
I'd say like this tour as a whole is the most tickets that we've ever like sold on one tour.
Yeah, because you guys had 4,000 in there the other night.
Yeah.
That was fire.
And like some of the shows, my hometown, Minneapolis, we did 7,800, which is ridiculous.
We got Seattle coming up.
That's about 8,000.
I'd say the average is like, I don't know, 3,500, maybe 4,000.
Man, that's incredible.
Yeah, like I toured with Dylan Francis in February, and it was a little bit smaller, but it was sick.
It was wild.
And they're all sold out too.
But this one just went off.
We both had big years, myself and Baby Lamani.
And it's sick to see it, man.
It's sick to see people so hyped.
We do meet and greets every day, and there's all these...
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't it amazing when you think like we had some guy brought this one time?
He made, he chiseled this, right?
That's gorgeous.
Yeah.
That type of thing.
I love it.
Someone made me a katana.
A gold, a gold, fully gold encrusted, full-size katana sword.
And that's for just, you could do, is that?
Bring up a katana there, Zach.
Let's see it.
Dude, I wonder if I can bring up the one that I have.
Man, it's gold.
It's covered in, yeah.
I mean, the dude gave me that, but it's covered in gold and it says, young gravy all over it.
The handles and everything are purple, just like our outfits.
It's gorgeous.
Man, and imagine being able to defend yourself with that one day.
Somebody rolls onto the tour bus, shit gets out of hand, and that is how you save.
You know, I got a whole, like, I had a whole, I don't know if we ever talked about this before, but I had a whole phase where I had like multiple different stalkers.
And I actually have another katana.
And I mean, it wasn't the reason I bought it.
I was just drunk and wanted a sword.
But I had back in Minnesota at my mom's home, I had some stalkers that were.
So you were living at home with your mother?
Yeah.
This was during COVID.
And I had kids that I was like the early COVID era.
And I had some kids that were, there's multiple different kids that like I grew up with, that knew where I lived and knew a lot about me, but kind of went crazy went cuckoo.
One of them had like schizophrenia.
One of them had like level three bipolar where they're seeing things.
Damn.
And he would like, they'd like send me little messages with them like breathing and whatnot.
Like weird like movie, horror movie type stuff.
Wow.
And was it spooky?
It was pretty spooky, man.
I mean, I wasn't that worried.
I mean, I was worried about myself, but I was more worried about my mom because they knew that she lived there.
Oh, yeah.
And I was gone a lot.
You're gone.
I was gone a lot.
And I didn't want to stress her out.
So I was like, I like kind of, I mean, she knew I was putting up this security system, but I kind of just like didn't stress why.
I was like, let's put up a security system.
You know, I got a lot of fans.
You put these tripwires out here.
Like, damn.
Bro, and there was like moments where they would like start threatening me and like coming like near my house and like giving me information.
There was one time where, okay, so I had this katana.
That's what we're getting back to.
I bought a katana when I was drunk.
And then there was one time where that was all I had.
And I was in my, I was downstairs in my house, like in like the basement.
There's big, big ass windows on both sides of this basement, right?
And you can see all over like the backyard and the front yard.
And this dude was like claiming that he was at my house, this, this stalker fella.
So I'm sitting there with a katana, dude, and I'm just like thinking about it.
I'm like, dude, what am I going to do?
Like, how am I going to slice this?
Bat her up, baby.
Kirby fucking it was crazy, bro.
Crack that bitch, dog.
So damn.
Yeah, man.
So in the end, man, I actually, I pulled some strings.
I got a fan to bring me a weapon, like a firearm.
And I ended up realizing after that that you can actually just legally buy a shotgun in Minnesota.
So I got that.
Yeah.
And luckily, like right as everything was peaking, this dude that was going to, that was threatening me and coming to my house, a homebirl of mine called the cops, and they showed up at his workplace and they found an unregistered pistol on him.
And he's locked up.
Other kids in an asylum.
And there's a third one that's not even worth getting into, but he's also locked up.
Do you worry?
So do you know like their release dates and stuff?
Are you worried about that, like kind of thing?
Because do you think they blame it?
Those guys are sitting in there, like listening to your tracks, but also fucking, you know, getting jacked to them and stuff.
And like, you know, like the release dates of their schizophrenia?
What do you mean?
No, like release dates of like when do they get out of these asylums?
Like are they in there?
Like are they fucking revenge lifting, you know, because there'll be dudes in there.
Yeah, they slow like some.
You seen Cape Fear?
Yeah, yeah, I've seen it.
I've been there.
You've been to Cape Fear?
Yeah, like Cape Fear, like some fully tetted back shit.
I don't know.
I'm hoping that it's all good.
There's certain cities now that I go to where I always bring security.
But, you know, I just have a fear about it.
I watch too many scary movies, but I have a fear of someone getting a hold of me and getting me tied up in a chair and doing weird shit to me, man.
It's my worst fear.
Damn.
Other than whales.
I don't like whales.
You don't?
Scare me.
Just a big-ass animal.
And if you're in the water and it's.
Yeah, what is it about him?
You think?
Oh, I guess if you're in the water and a whale shows up, you have zero chance.
It's like you're floating around in the water.
Let's say you're in the middle of nowhere and there's water.
That's the ocean.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's exactly what I was.
My bad.
My bad.
No, no, no, but thank you for clarifying.
You're in the ocean, in the middle of nowhere, and you're just floating, trying to stay afloat.
And then some goddamn big-ass whale pulls up.
You see that first, dude.
First, you see that in the distance.
You're like, bro, I'm stressing right now.
Think about it, bro.
It's crazy.
And what do you even do then?
There's not much you can do.
I think if you urine, is it something you urinate around you, it won't come by you?
What is that?
Shark?
Maybe?
I'm scared of sharks.
I don't know about whales.
I'm really scared of sharks too, man.
All that shit.
Maybe jellyfish.
If you pee on a jellyfish or something, it'll leave you alone.
No, if you get stung by jellyfish, then you're supposed to pee on the sting.
Oh, damn.
But dude, I would pee.
I mean, the only thing you could do is probably pee, I think, would probably keep it away from you.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Do whales go away from urine?
Can you run that?
Yeah, I'm Googling it.
I think I would just accept my fate, man.
I think I would just lay there, close my eyes, and be like, it's like I can swim away from that motherfucker.
But whales don't eat people.
It would be an accident if it ate me.
You see that whale swallow those two girls?
Yeah, we on the canoe.
Yeah.
Oh, that was crazy, dude.
Bro, can you even imagine?
And it sent those bitches back, dog.
Yeah, they survived.
They survived.
But imagine being in a whale's mouth and then coming out and then living the rest of your life.
But imagine getting rejected by a whale.
Obviously, these chicks don't have guys.
I mean, we're out there together.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, imagine.
Rejected by a whale.
Hey, I don't think whales can even digest a human, man.
I think I'm just afraid of them whipping me with their tail or some shit.
You know what I'm saying?
And you're taller, too.
I think that's one of the disadvantages of being tall is there's this, there's more of you to get hit.
There's more of you to get caught in a wood chip.
Or there's more of you to get or just like anything, anything that's loose.
If there's something, you know, a machine, there's a lot.
You have a, there's a more of a landscape.
You know, it's like, I don't know.
I have to worry about probably a foot less than you.
See, one thing that I've been told by friends, and I kind of think is a fact, is that I'm between 6'7 and 6'8, but like my brain, I think, only really is aware of like 6'5.
So I have like an extra like two inches of my body that just kind of, I'm a little, I'm not clumsy, but like I'm good about hitting my head on shit, hitting my arms on shit, breaking bones.
Like I think I'm just like a little bit, my brain hasn't caught up to the height.
I don't know if it ever will.
Wow, that's fascinating, man.
I just, I didn't know that something like that could happen to people because they say also if you lose an arm somewhere and you like punch somebody, you can still almost feel like you're punching somebody.
The phantom pain shit is so interesting to me.
One of our old tour bus drivers just got his leg amputated and like like I was just really curious.
And he's my boy.
I say, dude, Keith.
Shout out to Keith.
Was he a smoker?
No, he got an infection in his ankle or something and just didn't treat it.
And like, I guess enough time went by where he had to amputate his leg up to like here, upper thigh.
He sent me a picture.
He was crazy.
But that's my boy.
So I wanted to learn more about it.
And like, it's really interesting how that phantom pain works, you know?
Yeah.
Phantom limb activity.
Yeah, just amazing.
Your limb is like, yeah, you think I'm gone, bitch.
Your brain, I can't even imagine what my brain would feel like, man.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's crazy that our, so it just, it starts to make you wonder what different interesting things are there about our brain?
Because bring up phantom pain, Zach.
Phantom pain is pain that feels like it's coming from a body part that's no longer there.
Doctors once believed this post-amputation phenomenon was a psychological problem, but experts now recognize these real sensations originate in the spinal cord.
So it's like you don't even have the arm, but like your cells are telling you that there's some shit there and that hurts.
Yeah.
It just makes me wonder like what our brain can really do.
Like are we mad?
Because that's kind of, that's some wild shit.
There's a lot of wild shit, man.
I swear to God.
I was doing DMT earlier today and I was like today?
Today, yeah, yeah.
With a pen, you can just hit it and it's kind of casual, you know?
And I was just thinking about it.
I was like, man, like I was looking at all my boys.
I was kind of hungover.
I wasn't like feeling perfect.
And then I was like, like, damn, man, like, this, is this good for me right now?
Is it bad for me?
My brain was just like focusing on so many things at once.
And it's like, you know, they say you only use like 20% of your brain or something.
Yeah.
And I feel like there's been moments when I was on ACID where I was, I don't know, maybe it's just me being all excited or whatever, but I was like, oh, I'm using that other, I'm using at least another 5% right now.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
When you find extra gear?
Oh, yeah, dude.
Yeah.
I'm like, oh, shit.
Oh, God.
I once took way too much of my antidepressant on accident.
I had like, hadn't taken it in two weeks.
And I thought I was taking like just a half of a dose, but like, I grabbed the wrong one and it was like three times the normal dose, but I hadn't taken it in weeks.
And I like went like this weird super Saiyan mode where I was like thinking fast as shit.
And I felt like a genius, bro.
But it actually was good ideas.
I actually planned out a whole set for a tour, all this stuff.
And my heart was racing.
So I don't think I'm going to do it again.
But I still was kind of in like Super Saiyan mode.
Like, yo.
Was it almost like an Adderall or what was it?
I mean, like a super Adderall.
I take Adderall every day.
It was like a super crazy Adderall.
Like my brain, it was like I had two brains.
Wow.
It's crazy.
It's Lamotrogen.
If you guys take Lamotrogen, Lamotrogen?
Lamotrogen.
It's probably not healthy to do it, but if you ever really need some inspiration, maybe try weaning off and then busting a couple of Lamotes.
Wow.
I take Lama.
I take Lex Pro.
Yeah.
Lex Pro.
I'm a fucking Lexa Pro dude.
I'll take Lamotrogen and Trintelex.
Those are like my two.
It's pretty similar.
But yeah.
I'm a Lexi.
You Alexa Rookie.
Wonder if that'd be a good fucking bar.
Alexa Pro, you Alexa Rookie.
Maybe not.
I'm getting cookie.
And Nookie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Something about your bookie.
What a cookie.
All right.
So taking on this DMT, like you just hit the pin.
So the pin, that thing will reorganize you, though.
I had a man take me one time, a man and a woman.
I met them at this smoothie shop, right?
It was this dude who's like a shaman or like part-time shaman and his wife.
And they took me back to their house.
They had a DMT, like pin.
They were making them in Maui.
Next thing you know, I'm sitting there.
They had children and everything.
They had a little bowl of cashews or something, I remember.
And next thing you know, bro, I went into the damn, I was out there, baby.
I fucking just slipped off.
You did a little, you did the blast off.
You did the blast off.
Because, yeah, if you hit it enough, it's crazy.
If you get over that hill, it's like you go over to a hill in the back of your head.
And it's like going out of rock bottom from SpongeBob, but it's lit, though.
Yeah.
Is that what you did today?
No, no, no.
I wasn't going that hard.
See, I haven't been able to reach that without actually smoking the physical shit.
And it's a lot harder to get in the pens.
Yeah, yeah.
Today it was just chill.
I was trying to introduce some of my friends to it.
I was peer pressuring people into doing it.
Yeah.
I had to do it first.
It's fun to see someone do it the first time.
Because they don't believe it's going to happen.
That was the thing.
I couldn't believe it happened.
It was like a moving truck showed up full of like stardust and fucking, it was like a LGBTQ fucking Royal Rumble and like a bunch of like African drums and everything.
And they all showed up and fucking helped move all the furniture out of the back of my soul.
Can you elaborate a little bit on, you said LGBTQ Royal Rumble, meaning.
Oh, dude, it was like the whole rainbow was in that bitch.
I mean, every, they had colors that had never even taken their coat off.
Yeah, okay.
I mean, it was like every, I mean, it was just Roy G. Bibb, you know, he was out.
I mean.
So it was colorful as hell.
I thought you meant there was like like tranny dicks flying.
Oh, I'm not.
I'm sure some stuff was going on in the back that I couldn't.
Yeah, guaranteed.
Guaranteed.
It was behind.
Yeah.
Okay.
Fair enough.
Every now and then, yeah, you'd hear something, dude.
You'd hear something squeal, you know.
And you couldn't tell the gender of it.
Shit was getting weird.
You got to be in a good mindset because I remember one of the first times I ever did it, it was in Montana.
I was living at this commune and I was, it was my first time ever trying it.
And I was in his basement and the landlord was the one who was putting on a DMT.
It was the only drug.
I was getting tested all the time because of my probation.
And it was the only drug that doesn't show up.
And he was making it in the kitchen every day.
So I said, fuck it.
And he put on this, like, I was like, oh, let's put on some chill music.
Like, I wanted to hear like some Mac DeMarco or something.
He puts on this like tribal like drums and like squealing and shit.
And I was just like, man, I was in a weird place, bro.
I was like, I had a great first trip, but it was like tripping, like in my whole space in my head, like seeing all this shit.
And then I'll wake up a little bit and I hear like a like some crazy.
That sounded kind of racist, didn't it?
Just kind of like a, you know what I'm saying?
Just like weird ass noises, you know?
Yeah.
It wasn't even singing.
It was like strings playing that type of melody and banging drums and all this shit.
And I was like, man, it was just not the vibe.
Tis the season for clean balls and body.

And so was that nerve-wracking?
And then did you feel if you're say you're living with that man?
I was living with that man.
I was living with 14 people in a three-bedroom home.
And you guys were probably smoking weed, huh?
I couldn't do that shit.
Oh, because you're on probation?
Yep.
so what were you doing to try to save money or was it like a religious thing?
Well, I was there because, oh, this is perfect, brother.
I heard you were in a cult.
I was, yeah.
All right, all right, we'll get to that in a sec.
So, so, so what happened with me was I was arrested in Georgia for some dumb shit.
I was wrong place wrong time.
Yep.
Friend's house, but I got, I literally got charged with two charges of breaking and entering, two charges of criminal trespassing, and then like two felonies for like Xanax and wax.
It's in Georgia, that's what it is.
So I got all these goddamn charges for this bullshit that, like, we were just wrong place wrong time.
And I got basically, they realized that they had fucked up.
The local police did.
So then the judge gave me a plea deal where like everything would get dropped except for one misdemeanor.
Did you get to pick which one or the judge kept it?
He kept it.
It was criminal trespassing.
And I got another one like two years later in Georgia for breaking into a tire store.
That's a whole different.
So don't go to Georgia is kind of the place where you're going to get away from it.
Georgia's where I fuck up.
Yeah.
Anyways, I had a good friend from high school who managed a thrift shop in Bozeman, Montana.
And I was like, I need to get away from all my friends back home in Minnesota.
They're going to convince me to do drugs or something.
So I just drove out, brought my boy Preston.
I was like, bro, you just come with me.
And he ended up moving there after that because it is a beautiful place.
Yeah.
But yeah.
I moved into this house and he gave us a room with like three mattresses.
And then I realized that we had like people, there's people that would sleep in the back in a yurt.
There are people that would sleep in the front in a truck.
And then we would have like every room had two people in it.
So it was like a little commune.
We'd have like community dinners and everything and do DMT.
It was beautiful.
I had a great time.
Yeah.
It sounds great.
It was straight up.
24 days straight.
I woke up every day and did 10 hours of community service and then went home, did commune shit.
Was everybody there doing community service?
Is it kind of a halfway house for people doing community service?
No, no, not at all.
It was literally just a bunch of goons and I was the one kid that had to do community service.
So they were all going on hikes and going on trips and doing all their cool shit.
And I was like, every day had to go to, but here's the thing was that part of my plea deal was if you break any law within the next 18 months until you're off probation, you go to jail for the rest of the 18 months.
So like if I got a speeding ticket, so that's why I was not on any, I wasn't drinking, I wasn't any of that shit.
I just played it safe.
Played it safe just 10 hours a day.
I mean, I did DMT, but besides that, 10 hours a day, community service.
And what was the community service you were doing?
I was working at Thrift Shop.
Oh, really?
That's kind of cool.
It wasn't bad.
There's really nice ladies, like older people.
Which is every shop in Bozeman, I feel like.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did that.
And then I also did, this was interesting.
So the, he's on like the board of the, like one of the chairs of like the whole city.
I don't know.
It was dude, Billy.
He was.
Oh, a councilman?
Something like that.
But he also owned the local sex shop.
And it was like this interesting little combo where I was like kind of helping out at the sex.
It's a councilman.
I was helping out at the sex shop, but I was also doing like this whole social media promo for this like suicide prevention walk.
And I was, dude, it was, I was just taking every single hour I could get because I did not want to go to jail at all.
That was like right when I started popping off with music.
And I was like, dog, I cannot.
Man.
So do you think it was the fact that you were popping off with music that was keeping you out of staying out of trouble too?
Because you were like, you had finally something pretty big on the way and on the other side of the scale?
No, I think either way, I would have, man.
Like the thought of going to jail for 18 months was.
You didn't want it?
I would never.
Now looking back with being a rapper, being entertained, do you wish you had that jail time?
Not at all.
I don't think anyone would.
Yeah.
You mean like just for like for credibility?
Yeah, just for like just clout, just have a little bit of fucking sell clout, you know?
No, no, no, no, no.
I got the charges, man, and I beat them.
I think that's sell clout right there.
That's a win.
That's a win.
So I noticed also at your show, so do you think of yourself, what do you, yeah, what do you kind of see what, what do you kind of, what is your genre, like your kind of space in music?
I find it to be really kind of interesting, right?
Because it's also about kind of an energy and ambiance.
You know, there's this romantic kind of side to it all.
And it's not like traditional music.
It's not like really instruments, really.
So like, where do you kind of like, is it, do you, does that feel challenging to kind of keep, it's almost like a, like, what kind of genre would you put it in?
I mean, you could say rap, of course, but like, is there, it almost has more of like a, I almost feel like I'm at a, not a carnival, but something.
I mean, the show is, is definitely like a, you know, cinematic.
We try to do a lot of like theatrics with the show and make it crazy.
My music style itself, I mean, I've tried a lot of different beats, but I think like the majority of them are like sample trap beats.
Someone once described it as New Memphis.
I thought that was badass.
Basically like through the 3.6 Mafia.
Yeah, I loved him growing up.
So, yeah, man, I mean, my music is just, it's just samples that I love and banging 808s and then I spit just what comes to mind, which is, you know, it's fun.
Yeah, here's what I'm realizing finally.
It's more about you.
It's like I go because I want to be a part of your world.
That's what I kind of realize, I think.
It's not like, yes, yes, the music is great and you get attracted to the beats and everything, but I kind of want to see what is Gravy putting together for me.
Like it really is like you're mixing something up.
You know, I really feel like you're in the, like literally in the kitchen.
You know, that's kind of how I feel when I'm with your whole world, you know?
So what do you see like that moving forward from music?
Like, do you see like, because yeah, you're kind of like you, I know you did a, you guys, you did like a collab or like a sample with Lil Wayne, I remember.
And you like at the show, you have Drake go out there.
You have fucking Jesse McCartney, which was so ridiculous, dude.
Everybody's like, you're just going to all these different little levels.
You're just having such a good time.
What do you kind of see?
Like, Is that kind of tough to keep up?
Do you feel like that you're finding your groove even better with being kind of surprising people like that?
Like, does any of this make any sense?
Kind of?
I love it.
I love it.
I mean, I think one of my like best qualities, but also like sort of stressful qualities of mine is like I love making friends and like keeping in touch with people.
So like everybody I meet, like if I like, if I fuck with them, I'm gonna keep in touch.
We're gonna keep working on stuff.
Like Jesse McCartney I met like two or three years ago and I was like, bro, like pop out.
Same with Soldier Boy.
So I think just like keeping in touch is sort of like the Midwest in me and like wanting to like, you know, give these people a shine if they haven't had one in a little while or whatever it is.
But I want to keep on, you know, working with artists that are kind of outside of my lane.
Because I collab Baby to Money a lot.
I collab with a couple other rappers in my space.
But like usually if I get a feature, it's just an artist that I really like that I want to have on my album.
My fans are like these cult fans that like, they don't really care who the feature is.
They just want to listen to my music.
So like, I mean, in the past, I've had Young Dolph, R.I.P.
I've had, man, I mean, Juicy J. I've had a lot of artists that I love that will kill it on the track and then people will become hip to them just because I love those artists.
So I've been thinking about like in the future who I want to collab with.
It's almost like a podcast.
It's almost like you bring people on for an episode that you like spending time with.
As you're saying that, it makes me feel like that, you know, a little bit.
And you are like that, man.
I'll say that.
Anytime you come in town that you're shooting something, you've always invited me out to be a part of the shoot, man.
Yeah, bro.
It's so nice of you, bro.
Of course, dog.
And you always kind of feel me in what's going on, you know?
You do do a good job of that.
It's hard.
It's a lot of pressure, too, probably.
You get a lot of text.
Yeah, I do get a lot.
Yeah, that's the issue with the keeping in touch with everybody.
My text starts blown up.
And I don't want to curb anybody.
So I keep in touch.
But I'm curious, man, I got something coming with Michael Boublay.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I was just thinking, who would be really good?
I wanted to hear your thoughts after you saw the show.
Who do you think I should work with?
Man, it's so funny because there's a lot of different little, there's a lot of different kind of, I'm trying to think of like a unique country artist that would be kind of cool, you know?
Well, I'm pretty close with Morgan Wallen and Hardy.
Oh, Morgan loves you.
That's right.
You were supposed to do, weren't you going to be at their, they had a party a couple weeks ago.
There's an LA show they were doing that I was going to like pop out at, but I couldn't make it because I was on tour.
Oh, because I had talked to his management.
They were asking if I want to come be a part of, I think it was like a big loud party.
Oh, it was Morgan's like man, some man of the year.
Yep, there was that.
They were like, Gravy's going to come.
Morgan loves Gravy.
And I was like, oh, that's so crazy.
What a small world.
It's funny.
Me, Morgan, and Hardy will just like, when one of us is drunk, we'll just like FaceTime each other and like just talk about it.
Hardy's so good.
Cute shit, man.
It's cute.
Wow.
Yeah, he's got it.
They just put it.
They just put up a new tour.
It's him, Hardy, and Parker McCollum, which is...
That's unbelievable.
That's so crazy.
Hardy's like such a kid rock.
Yeah, it's so interesting.
I'm trying to see because I could almost see you going like, I could see you doing something with like a George Straight almost.
I love bringing in artists that are like unexpected.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what I'm like.
I mean, I could see you doing anything with like somebody kind of young.
I'm trying to think of something that would be really like.
I thought about like, I mean, I actually just got connected with 50 Cent because of Lisa Ann.
Lisa Ann and I have become close.
So 50 Cent's a future one.
I like the idea of bringing back like rappers that like I love growing up to put them on a song now.
Yeah.
T-Pain, I just got on a track recently.
That's so yeah, that's so great, man.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of what would be cool.
I mean, obviously doing something like with Morgan Hardy, those guys with Big Loud with that group, it'd be really sweet.
What about a dude like a cool ballet with a bad bitch?
You know what I'm talking about?
Like a singing, some cute activity, man.
Some just, yeah, dude.
Trying to think of who.
What about there's a younger named Jesse Murphy?
You know that is?
I had someone that works with Doja Cat, but like we didn't really work out in the end.
Dude, I could see something almost bizarre with like Sinead O'Connor.
She's like an old, she's like that song Nothing Compares to you.
Remember that song?
Nothing to the country?
No, she was like, R.I.P., bro.
She was like a Whitney Houston.
Whitney Houston.
Yeah, that's who she was, man.
Word.
Bring up a pitch rubber if you can, brother.
Help me out here.
That's her right there.
Sunito Connor, man.
Yeah.
Oh, and she smokes, too.
I think she might have smoked her throat out.
Who's the girl with the Love is a Battlefield?
Love is a Battlefield.
Oh, is that Fleetwood Max?
No, no.
Love is a Battlefield.
Oh, that's 200 Ron stats.
Pat Benatar.
Pat Benatar.
Let me see her real quick.
She's banging.
Yeah, bring up that Patty B. She's alive.
I'm going to hit her up right now.
She got to be.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's a play right there.
Love is a battlefield.
I'm going to sample that at least.
Or Shanai.
Maybe something dope with Shaniai would be dope.
That'd be crazy.
He's fire.
Yeah.
Yeah.
God, dude.
I think we found the lane, man.
I need to get with some of these epic female artists of the past decades and make something crazy happen.
Well, it's kind of what's really neat about you is that you have this, you're like this energy.
So it's almost like you can attach the energy almost to anywhere, you know?
Thank you.
Yeah, it's cool, man.
It's dude.
It's exciting.
When I came the other night, I was like, wow.
I was standing there with Trevor because I went with Trevor Wallace and we're standing there in the back and we were both just like, man, this is so cool.
Hey, just cool that he goes, this is really cool to see one of my friends have success, you know?
And I was just like, man, this is just so much.
I was just having so much fun.
And that was nice.
It's like to go to a place and you fucking, you know, you're kind of feeling what, you know, you're excited when you get there, but then you're like, damn, this is awesome.
You go to see the whole show?
You just the whole thing?
No, I saw probably, I would say 75%.
You leave by the end?
Yeah.
Damn.
That ends the litest.
It is?
Yeah, it is.
Oh, dude, it was getting lit.
As we're walking out, we could hear how lit it was getting.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
But I had to work the next morning.
I get it.
I get it.
What?
Oh, and then I also saw everybody.
So people's throwing those damn tit mittens the whole time.
People are humming those fucking.
Yeah, the boulder holders.
Oh, baby, people are throwing those damn fucking...
Those damn fucking...
I'm telling you.
Oh, there was...
That was the best part.
It's funny because, yeah, yeah.
So, so that started on one of the first shows.
I mean, I'll always have shows where people throw bras, but there'll just be a few.
Here it is right here.
Some people throw it some of them.
People titting out.
Yes, dude.
God.
And are they warm when they hit up there?
Are they just...
But yeah, man, they people, yeah, I mean, ever since, so I posted this video about it, and then ever since then, now every show I'm getting like a ton.
I basically promised, I did promise.
You guys are doing a charity.
So I'm donating all the bras, but I'm going to take the value of all them, which kind of was decided amongst the people on the comments that it's about 50 bucks a pop for more than them less bras.
Oh, wow.
So based on the amount of the number we get, I'm guessing it'll be like a little low.
I mean, probably a little bit over a thousand because we are at like 800 right now.
Nah, it'll probably be a little more than that.
Anyways, I'm going to donate 50 bucks a pop.
So it's going to be like quick 60 bands to the breast cancer, man.
Got to do it.
It's magical, yeah.
Got to do it.
Oh, we have to keep breasts out there.
Imagine if suddenly they said, nah, no more breasts.
No more breasts?
Yeah, man.
That'd be problematic as hell.
You remember some of the greatest breasts you've ever seen?
Is there a pair?
It's hard to keep a long, breasts don't hold a long time in your head.
I feel like it has to be recent breasts.
Yeah, that's a good question, man.
Wow.
Lisa Ann has pretty cool tits.
Yeah, no, you guys got together and she's a famous pornographic actress, right?
I'm sure I saw her.
I don't know.
I mean, I used to watch a lot of it.
Did you see what she looks like?
Let me bring her up, please, Zachary.
You will recognize her, bro.
Guaranteed it.
Guarantee it.
Oh, wow.
Get a good one.
She did the Sarah Palin one.
That's where she blew up.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Someone going to the AVN Awards with, man.
She's a porn legend.
She's kind of been retired for a few years, but she has some cool tits.
And is she...
You guys have gone on some dates, right?
I wrote a song where I had a lyric about her.
Yeah.
Yep.
And she loved it.
And then I ended up getting her into this.
I had to shoot a commercial for G Fuel.
Like, oh, we need a Miloff.
I was like, well, if you're in New York, let me hit up Lisa.
She was super about it.
We met, and, you know, we had a bonded pretty well on set.
And yeah, the rest is history.
I clap your cheeks.
Damn, boy.
Wow.
I had to, man.
It was a dream of mine because I think one of my first three ever jerk-offs in my life was to her.
Oh, wow.
I want to say it.
Yeah, yeah.
First ever three nuts.
And I know I have, you know.
And do you remember the first time you ever ejaculated?
Was it surprising to you?
Yeah, it was mind-blowing.
I lost my shit.
I had a family computer room where like it was like this room off to the side right next to my parents' room.
So I had to like, you know, I think the first porn I ever watched, it was like the girl from Buffy, the vampire slayer, and she was just like stripping in the rain.
I don't even know if there was even breasts involved.
So it wasn't actual pornography.
It was just like video of someone's breast.
It was like getting close to it.
I think I googled like cool boobs.
I think that was my first, or hot boobs.
That was my first ever porn search.
And then I found it.
I was like, because I heard people at lunch talking about jerking off.
And I was like.
And you did, and now did you hear what it was?
I had no idea.
This is like, man, sixth grade.
The good thing about when you hear that jerking off, you can kind of figure out, even if you're like, you know, even if you can't even read or anything, you can kind of figure out what you have to do to kind of achieve it.
It's like, you know, you can only test everything so much before you fuck it.
Yeah.
So I tested that shit out, man.
I think everyone's first nut might be their best nut.
Oh, it's just insane.
Well, I just feel like the, I remember the ejaculate or the e-jack or whatever they call it, you know.
Yeah.
It's so, at that point, it's so clear.
Yep.
I remember being like it had just, I mean, like it had just come out of like a plasma.
It's like a pure child's nut.
Did you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, man, that was a...
I know what you're saying because I was a child and you were a child, so we can say it, but I think about it, but yeah, we're talking about ourselves.
Yeah, yeah, it was our own pure child's nut.
So, yeah, if I'm thinking about my own self ejaculating as a kid, that's not like pediophile stuff, is it?
No.
No, it's your own nut, man.
I'll never forget my first like five nuts.
How old were you when you first busted one?
Yeah, thanks, man.
How old were you?
I was, oh, I think I remember I was like 13. And I didn't really know.
I remember like finding some videos, right?
My brother had some pornography up there hidden in his closet and some Alizay whiskey.
Pull up some Alizay A-L-I-Z.
Lizay, bro.
I'll still sip some L is a every day.
Oh, dude, yeah.
If I want myself.
Damn, so you got into the whiskey?
Isn't it like a weird little like.
It's a mix.
It's like a little bell.
Oh, there it is.
Right there.
Right there.
Get that orange one, baby.
Yeah, that one.
That's what I remember.
Yeah.
Oh, God, dude.
Oh.
Lizay.
That shit's popping, especially like.
How I can belch and just taste my childhood even just looking at it.
And so he had a jug of that up there, and I found some videos on his shelf.
And so I hit two swigs of that.
And I fell off the shelf, man.
I got drunk.
It was like I climbed up some shelves in his closet and fell off that bitch.
Then jerked off.
And then I kind of came to.
I think I even blacked out.
Damn, that's a crazy first nut.
There was a lot going on.
And then I got these videos and I put it in the video player.
And I just remember like laying in my brother's bed because his bed was by the TV and he was out of town.
And like I said, your brother's bed was your first nut.
I didn't even think about that.
Damn, that's crazy.
Damn, bro.
All right.
You know, things happen.
God, bro, but he wasn't there.
Yeah, no, I respect it.
It probably cleaned up a little bit.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I think, yeah.
I mean, I think it just evaporated back into my skin.
It was like, you know, that shit was pure.
That was damn plastic.
That's your reform of thumb.
You know what I'm saying?
Really, bro.
If you were missing something, you could feel a divot on your body.
That's but I do remember like having my legs out.
And I remember just kind of rubbing my, I was so like erect, like just volatile from watching the pornography that I remember even just rubbing my legs together like this.
And that alone was just too much.
Keep going.
Oh, it was just too much charisma going on.
Just too much heat.
Oh, even just my own legs.
Because I'd never, like, if you'd have took 30 seconds before, if I'd have rubbed my legs, it would have been nothing.
But now that I'm all keened in on this pornography and titty on the video, it just had taken a new level.
And I just.
Oh, I had no prior knowledge of what was about to go down.
So I'm in that bitch, like, just, you know, getting to it however I could.
I think I might have had like a silky napkin or something.
Oh, God.
Yeah, of course you would.
What do you?
You're going to, I mean, I'm surprised you didn't have a cape on.
On brand?
No, no, no, no.
Bro, I was like 30, I was not balling when I was fucking 14, man.
I, yeah, I don't know, some napkin.
And I just remember like, it was like, damn, this is cool, man.
I'm really getting into this.
And then I bust it and I was like, you know, it's like a, it's like blasting off on DMT.
I was like, really is.
Damn.
I was like, that's what happens.
And then my dick looked fucked up for like two days.
Oh, wow.
Really?
Because it just had been.
It just all swollen.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
It's almost like popping a pimple for the first time.
God, I remember I saw a man cream out on a video.
And I was like, there's no way it must be a special effect or something.
And so I remember, you know, doing myself like that, just genie and my little lamp, dude.
And God damn, brother.
I mean, just somebody whispered semen.
I would pay money to have my first jerk off again, man.
Swear to God.
Goodness gracious.
And pay money for what?
Oh.
To scratch all the nuts I ever took and just have my first again right now.
Dude, I think you have to, there's I don't know if they do it there, but somebody else.
Somebody baptize and have a good another first jerk off.
But you can't really do all the reverse.
God.
Yeah, I think it's over, man.
The track has been worn.
I have damaged the good, man.
God, but there is something about it, man.
If you go all the way back, it almost feels like you'd never die if you had never jerked off.
Wow.
That was deep.
I think I agree with that.
You got to have to agree with that statement, man.
Shit.
It's like you'd have this power inside of you.
God.
Snush your shoes, bro.
You're rocking olive green with the...
Yeah, you did a better job.
I had to do that BFS pod this morning.
Yeah, they brought you.
What did we talk?
Oh, I told him they said, who's coming on?
I said, Gravy's coming on.
And what were they?
They were talking about something about a woman that you had dated, but I didn't know who it was.
I guess it was...
Someone's mom.
Yeah, someone's mom.
They always do, yeah.
Of course they did.
Yeah, they brought that up.
But it was pretty interesting.
I think it was just early.
I'd be over there at like 9 a.m.
And I was like, I don't even want to be up at this moment.
I just, I stayed up kind of late.

So take me through like some of your process of putting music together.
Like when you start, like, where do you get inspired these days?
Because I know with like jokes, like I'll kind of notice something funny that I say with my friends and I'm like, okay, this is a bead on something, you know?
It's almost like a welder when they light that bead up and then they start using the bead to do all the welding.
What does it feel like for you as you've gotten to know yourself better?
Honestly, I listen to a lot of really old music.
Most of what I, I mean, I'll listen to hip-hop, you know, when I want to get hyped up, but like most like what I'm casually listening to, like on an airplane or whatever it is, is usually like some, you know, some 40s to 70s era.
A lot of times I'll just find a sample in there that I really like and the vibe of it.
And I'll send it to like, I got a couple of producers that are really good with flipping those.
And then in the end, we'll replay it with our own instruments so that there's less legal shit to go through.
Also, I mean, half the sessions I do, I'll just go in with the producer.
We'll kind of chop it up a little bit and think of something.
Like the song Soiree I dropped not long ago.
I walked in and I was like, hey, bro, let's make a Beethoven joint.
Let's make a Beethoven song.
And he was like, all right, I bet.
And he just shouted to Willie, legendary producer, just whipped out his fucking piano, recorded it, and played like this Beethoven-esque ass track and I spat on it.
It depends, but usually like it's either in person with a producer starting from scratch and I'm like a big part of the production process or I'm sending a sample and we're kind of going step by step.
And is Suarez the one that's like about 30 seconds in?
It kind of changes to a total.
Is that the one that flips to like a total different?
I think you think about the intro, probably the intro.
Isn't it marvelous is the intro to my album, which is like this like smooth 80s little funky John and then it changes into like this hard trap beat and it keeps going back and forth.
Suarez the second song where it's like this organ playing that Dolly played.
And man, that one came out hot.
That's something that's interesting about you when I'm listening.
It's like I can't, I don't, it's like I'm in different time periods kind of, you know, it's almost like I'm just, yeah, I feel like I'm just kind of traveling through joyful different moments in time and in music.
It's kind of cool.
I like to really mix it up and like have each beat be different.
Like I don't like having multiple songs on a project that are the same where a lot of artists, it's like they have a style and all the beats are going to sound in a certain range where all the beats are going to be similar, like a playback cardi or like a little Uzi.
Like their beats are all like in the same sort of style.
But I like to like really mix it up.
And like I think, I think a lot of artists, it's better for them to make a specific style that they rock with.
But for me, it's like my voice, my lyrics, my, you know, sort of just style and, you know, regalia, all that.
Yeah, Simon Rex, shout out.
Yeah, shout out to Simon Rex.
All that kind of speaks for itself and then beats.
I just want to try new things every time.
What about BG, dude?
He might be somebody that'd be interesting.
He's kind of been gone.
BG Knockout?
No, like the BG.
Do you remember him?
He was part of like.
I mean, the BGs themselves are who I kind of based my style off of.
Oh, dang.
So they had a rap right in New Orleans called BG.
And I know BG Knockout, who's from Compton, but I don't know about BG.
New Orleans, y'all did have some.
Bling, bling.
He had that.
Every time he came around, I said they bling, bling.
I think it rang word about 50 billion.
I'm about it, man.
Yeah, I honestly know.
He was with Lil Wayne in the beginning.
They were that early shit is so him, juvenile.
Juvenile used to live in a neighborhood over from me when I was growing up.
And so we heard this crazy story one night that he chased some women down the street with an ice pick.
And then we all went out and bought his album.
Fire, man.
That's prime marketing right there.
Oh, dude.
We were like, oh, we were buying ice picks and shit.
People were getting each other ice picks like as stocking stuffers.
Bro, New Orleans, y'all got, so what, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, you got that old troop, Birdman.
DJ Khaled.
DJ Khaled's from New Orleans?
People don't know that shit.
I thought he's from Miami.
Wow.
People, pull up DJ Khaled.
You got Suicide Boys?
Have you ever met Suicide Boys?
Yeah, and I've asked Scrim to come on the pod.
That would be a good.
What if you guys did something?
That could be interesting.
They brought me on tour.
I've been on tour with them, and we've like I'm pretty close with them.
Like, we're tight.
But they're very strict about their.
There you go, New Orleans.
Yeah, they don't like to, yeah, I mean, Scrim doesn't party, you know.
They don't party, and they really don't want to collab with people, but like we've done enough shows together and stuff where I feel like it could happen pretty soon.
Yeah, they're specific about their world, you know?
Yeah.
They're really specific about their world.
Scrim's like that.
He's, you know, he does exactly what he's doing.
They're kind of like genius, man.
I really respect them and like I'm inspired by Suicide Boys.
They're so sick.
Yeah, I love them.
I saw Scrim and I keep in touch a decent amount.
And who did I see on there?
Shakewell was with them.
Cheddar.
They had...
You talking about a tour?
I was on the one.
It was Chedda, Shakewell, me, Ramirez, Derm, Turnstile.
This was like last year.
They just did another one with Ski Mask, but this time I was like the Ski Mask.
I was like the direct support, and it was sick.
Wow.
It's only a few shows.
And they wanted to have Chief Keefe too, but he didn't show up.
Oh, damn.
Chief Keith is a great dude.
Don't get me wrong.
I've kicked it with him a lot.
Always, dude, like he doesn't talk a lot, but anytime he says anything, it's really cool.
Wow.
And he's just a very giving person.
And anytime I've asked him to get on a song, he just slays it.
He's fire.
Love Chief Keith.
Sway Lee is sick.
That would be fire.
I haven't met him, but I have a lot of mutual friends.
That's a good idea.
Nicest dude, man.
I got to meet him at the Super Bowl.
And his uncle is a comedian, this guy, Suli McCullough.
I'd always like, I knew that they were out of Mississippi, so I'd always be talking to him about it and stuff like that.
And I knew that he was related.
And then I was at the Super Bowl, and he was there.
And I was just so amped.
And he was literally probably the nicest dude in the room.
Just so just so cool.
I mean, he's so, everything about him is just seems really cool, you know, but He is cool.
But he was real, real friendly.
Dope.
Yeah.
I love meeting people that are like really, really up and are still friendly, you know?
Yeah.
It's hard to find sometimes.
Yeah, I think it's like, I think that's about your energy.
It's like people want to work with you because they want to be around you too.
I think that's probably a big aspect for people.
I actually ended up the last two years getting booked as the most, I was the most booked college artist the last two years.
Really?
Yeah.
So you've been playing colleges?
I was the most booked artist at colleges the last two years, and that's purely because we're professional.
We pull up.
We're really nice to everybody.
And so I did like, I think like 40 shows at colleges last year and about like 35 this year.
Are you going through NACA and stuff like that?
Do you go to the conference?
Like, is it specifically for the college or is it college town?
It's college.
It's like their actual like spring festival or like their like fall festival.
That's sick, dude.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a tough market to do on a lot of times.
And it just worked out, man.
A lot of my fans are these college girls.
And then I meet the promoters who a lot of them will book for tons of different colleges.
And like, if we get along well, it's like that, that's really important in music.
And I think every industry is like, if you're just a good person and like not a dick and like do what they ask, like me, it's me and Waka Flacco are like the two like top.
It's because Waka Flacco is a great down-to-earth guy.
Walk of Laca and I did a few shows together and he brought me aside and we meditated together.
He's vegan.
Oh, damn.
Dude, he is like not what you'd expect.
And it's awesome.
Great down-to-earth fella, about my height, way stronger.
When you see people that are your height, do you think that you are, is there a better chance you're going to be friends?
That's a really good question.
I feel like there was a little bit of a bonding with tall people, you know?
Some of them, you know, instantly come in with like the opposite feeling like, oh, like, oh, he's the other tall guy, you know?
Like height beef kind of shit.
Yeah.
Like, I remember I met G Easy and I think it might have been that way.
I don't know.
Anyways, most tall people, yeah, we have a little bit of a bond, you know, we dap up and be like, hey, man, pleasure.
You know?
Stay long.
Stay long, bro.
You long drink of water?
Yeah, he almost has a lot of chicks.
That's what I always hear.
G easy.
Yeah.
He went to school in Loyola, New Orleans, actually, which is kind of interesting.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think BG would be pretty sick, man.
He's like a rapper that was really fire, and then he's had a tough time.
Mystical, I really loved.
Mystical, that's the like the guest.
Yep.
Yeah.
He's fire.
He's fire.
But he keeps going to jail.
He keeps doing pedophilia or pediophilia.
Okay.
Well, I probably won't collab with him then.
Yeah, keep popping him.
Yeah, they keep popping him.
On to the next.
On to the next.
Man, Morgan Wand and Hardy.
We got that locked in.
And have Ernest write it, man.
Ernest is a great writer that works with them.
So help have him help write.
All right, cool.
Yeah, Ernest.
He's Flower Shops.
You ever heard it?
That's a song.
It's a beautiful day.
What is it, Morgan Wall?
Crying all night.
I actually have heard it.
I have a roommate who will wake up every morning.
He sleeps on our couch.
He's like our couch dweller.
Wakes up every morning.
Blast Markham Wallen.
That's all I wake up most days.
That could be me.
Zach Bryan, have you heard of him?
Yes, I have heard of Zach Bryan.
Dude, I went to his show.
It was so cool.
I rolled up.
Cheeto Vera is there from the UFC, right?
So I love UFC.
And so it was the craziest.
Like, he's Ecuadorian.
Like, I think he's Ecuadorian, isn't he?
Ecuador.
I know Zach Bryan, just the name.
Zach Bryan.
Yeah.
I don't have a name.
You know who was going to come to my show the other night?
It was Sugar Sean.
Oh, he was?
Sugar Sean O'Malley.
You met him?
I could see him being in a video ears early.
He was so hyped, man.
I wish he could have met it.
It was in Phoenix.
It was the night before LA.
And man, we were just like, I don't know how we even met.
The way that you kind of keep in touch.
Yeah, he'll just kind of send a picture sometimes, just something crazy, you know, what's up.
His energy gets read wrong, I think, sometimes by people because he just has such this, you know, he's kind of gotten into podcasting.
He's so much also like an artist outside of his fighting, right?
So I think a lot of fighters initially, it seemed like we're like, what the fuck is this dude doing?
He's not a real fighter, you know, because he's able to manage two different real businesses in a lot of ways.
But man, he's, yeah, he's so good.
His energy is always fun, man.
His whole life, and he likes the way he's able to just kind of record his life and he doesn't stress about it too much, kind of.
Yeah, I often admire him.
I admire his ability to not get too overwhelmed or anything.
I would get too spun up, you know?
How do you feel about Jake Paul?
We talked about this on that BFS podcast.
I mean, I met Jake just through his brother and I was talking more with Logan and anytime I've ever been in the same space as those guys.
But I think he's serious about boxing.
Dude, I used to think the dude was so lame.
And he, I mean, way back, like, I met him and he was pretty, actually a cool dude.
And now, like, I think he's undefeated against all these professional fighters.
Like, yeah, his marketing is douchey and he's got his own thing going, but like, it's pretty badass, man.
Like, I got to show love to him.
Logan's a really good dude, too.
I like Logan a lot.
Oh, Logan seems really Logan is cool.
I've interacted with him a lot more.
Jake, it's like, you know what?
I don't know if I'd be your friend, but I think you are a badass, my friend.
Jake seems tougher to get to know, kind of.
He seems like his own.
He seems like he kind of stays in his own world a bit.
Logan's obviously just a super busy dude.
But yeah, he's always fun to, you know, always enjoy being around those guys.
And they crush it.
Yeah, I'm just impressed.
I think that both of them were considered like lame.
Like, I just did not fuck with them at all, just based on what I'd heard.
Like, I hadn't even looked into it.
And then they did the right moves to become kind of sick again.
They literally tried fighting, which is like impressive.
They trained from nothing and killed it.
And, you know, like they're doing a lot of dope shit.
So I got respect for those guys now.
Well, you have to admire their commitment, the ability to kind of evolve, right?
To make That choice to go from, you know, what people would call a YouTube star or a YouTube fame, which has got to be so, like, I can't even imagine coming up on that being horrible diss tracks, all that.
It's just trash.
But then you come in and you find, I think they just find what they're meant to be, man, that fighting space.
And then he went to that Japanese mistletoe thing or whatever, and they fucking rocked him about that for some reason.
Like, what are you doing?
What's this forest?
I remember him filming a dead person hanging from a tree.
That's what you're probably thinking of.
He went to the Japanese suicide forest.
Yeah, it wasn't mistletoe.
It was a dead man.
Oh, damn.
Well, I mean, that's the damn Grim Reaper's mistletoe, son.
I guess so, man.
Hey, I still fuck with y'all, fellas.
Yeah, and it's, yeah, I mean, a lot.
Yeah, nobody wants to be a part of suicide or anything.
I can't, but also in Japan, they don't have a lot of room to do stuff, I think.
So I think they have to do things like in certain areas.
There's not a lot of room there.
There's interesting, like, cultural, I talked to some psychiatrists about this.
Like, it's interesting, like, different countries have cultural views on suicide and stuff.
And it's like, I think Japan has the highest rate of suicide because it's like just kind of like part of their culture and like embedded in their, in their, in their, embredded, is that, is that a term?
Embedded.
Embedded.
I've seen it, dude.
I'll tell you.
Yeah, you know the inbreds.
I know the embed.
Yeah.
Embedded in their brain.
I've seen it.
They got some square tits on it.
Yeah, man.
Pull up the Japanese suicide.
I would like to know a little bit more about it just so we can have some clear.
Suicide for us, I've heard a lot about it.
Anyways, Japan and like Russia, and there's one other country where they have like, just culturally, like they have like the suicide like statistics are crazy different than anywhere else.
Wow.
I think Russia in particular, it's like a crazy amount.
Okigahara.
Yeah, it's this one here.
It's just a heavily wooded country.
Okigahara, also known as the Sea of Trees, is a forest on the northwestern flank of Mount Kuhn.
Who's on that one?
Yeah.
How many people commit suicide?
The people also ask it 30 every year.
About 30 people committing suicide there every year.
So for one place, imagine if there was one park, you know?
That's like more than one.
That's like three a month, man.
That's crazy.
Yeah, imagine being like the park ranger, you know?
You're the park ranger and you just got to pull up and be like, oh, there's, there's another.
Yeah, because that's one every other week.
Yeah.
And I wonder if there's like a busy season.
Guaranteed, bro.
Like when it's cold out and shit.
It's a beautiful place, too.
I mean, maybe that's why, too.
I think that it, you know, it looks like it's such a beautiful place.
You and I saw this crazy TikTok the other night.
A guy, a guy is trying to hang himself, and a guy walks up on him and is recording a video and talks him out of it.
It's all on video.
And the dude's like bawling, crying and stuff.
Sometimes I'm like, is some of this on TikTok?
Is it even real?
But this thing looked pretty fucking real.
That sounds real.
I thought that'd be...
Yeah, can you see that, Zach?
I don't know how you would even look that up.
I'm trying to find it.
I'm trying.
And I know it's probably going to set off alarms even looking for it.
Wow.
When did you start to feel like, okay, I'm turning a corner here?
So you end up at the commune.
You got the music going.
You've obviously had some juvenile issues starting out, like out of the gate, trouble in Georgia.
You can't, you know, but you have this vibe that everybody loves.
You're doing music.
When does it start to kind of turn for you and you realize, okay, I really have to lean into this or you just realize that it's getting bigger?
Yeah, it was right at the end of my commuting stay in Montana.
I was just finishing up that probation.
I had about a year left in college and I was working hella hours.
Dude, I was going crazy.
I was so motivated that I was a full-time student, 18 credits at University of Wisconsin.
In Madison?
Madison, yeah.
Dang, baby.
Yeah.
I used to see this comedy on state performing there.
Oh, I remember coming.
That's the first place I ever got kicked out of in my life.
Yeah, man.
Place is great.
Anyways, it was doing that.
I was working 20 hours a week at this place that would have probably ended up being my job if it wasn't, you know, for the music stuff that popped up.
And I ran this pizza company with my homie.
What was it called?
The pizza roller.
Basically, what we did for about almost two years, we bought like a souped up golf cart and we put this trailer on the back that was like this metal thing that kept things warm.
Partnered with a local pizza chain.
What was it called?
Joe's was it called?
I was about to say Fazoli's.
No, it was a great pizza place.
Fabion's or something.
I don't know.
It wasn't the best pizza in town, but it was like we would hire kids to drive this thing around, play music, put lights on it, and they would sell pizza by the slice to the drunk kids at one of the bars.
So we do it four nights a week.
They go out there from like 9 p.m.
till 3 a.m.
and just sell pizza to all the drunkens.
Yeah.
And that was like, that was my first business after that took off.
And we made a good bag on that while we were students.
And you're giving the people what they want.
It's what you've always done.
You're giving the people what they want.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And then I, man, I think I had like a year left of college and it was either like, oh, I take this job in Atlanta.
They're going to make this my own office and like run this whole program or it's like, I really like this rap stuff and it's kind of starting to take off.
But it was like, yeah, right at the end of that probation period in Montana, I had a song that blew up and they posted on Bleacher Report and I was like, hey, this is kind of lit.
And then I said, you know what?
Like, I love y'all, but I'm taking the summer off.
I need to like do this.
And then I just kept grinding and finally revealed my face.
That whole time I hadn't revealed my face, my first two years, I was like under wraps because I didn't want anyone to know about it because I thought it was lame.
I was like, I was afraid of people discovering me and being like, oh, that's Matt Hyree.
Like, fuck's he doing?
And my boss, obviously, I'm rapping about like piping my dentist and shit.
I didn't want my boss to see that.
Oh, yeah.
So, so I didn't reveal my face at all.
I was just posting all these like 50s pin up girls as my artwork and like all my announcements and everything were like, were you self-conscious?
A little bit.
I didn't want to be that guy that was like, at least in my town, there was maybe like seven of them that were like the rappers that were like handing out mixtapes.
I don't want to be that guy at all.
So I didn't tell any of my good friends besides like my roommates until like a year in.
I was like, once I have some actual following, I'll tell people.
And I finally actually met a guy at a party.
It was at a party.
I met this dude named Charlie, still my boy.
He recognized my voice.
Recognized my voice.
And he happened to be a videographer.
He recognized my voice when I was talking to him.
He's like, bro, are you young grave?
I never even mentioned where I was from or anything.
I faked like I was from Atlanta.
And then I faked like I was from New York.
This dude recognized my voice, ended up being a videographer.
We made the Mr. Clean video, which is like probably my biggest music video now.
That's how I revealed my face.
It partly blew up just because everyone thought I was black.
And then they were like, because of my voice.
And everyone was like, oh, he's a white dude.
Yeah.
Like a skinny white dude riding a horse.
Black throat white elves.
And yeah.
And then I that was that, man.
Then it really, that popped off.
We got a million views in a week.
And I was like, all right, something serious is happening.
It's big.
And going, man, when something goes like that, damn.
Okay, now this is what I am.
And I started getting flown out to labels in New York, and I had to skip dude.
It was sick.
I'd walk into my college lectures.
And I was a marketing major, so it's 80% of girls in those classes.
And I'd walk in there with my letter from Universal Music Group.
I'd be like, yo, I'm sorry, brother.
I'd say it super loud too.
I'd be like, yo, man, my bad.
Like, I got to go meet with the label about this record deal real quick, man.
I had a nice last little semester there.
Any babies want to roll?
Four babies?
Who's trying to pull up, man?
Wow.
No, yeah.
So that was that.
That's how I knew.
And I ended up getting a tour booked.
And I started one week after I graduated.
Couldn't make the graduation ceremony because I had a show in New York.
Damn.
You think you'll ever go back and walk?
Probably not.
I could just get a, you know, I could.
Should I?
Might be a cool vibe.
I mean, it'd be a cool...
Kind of tied.
I'm going back to my high school for the first time in like 10 years over Christmas to do a little charity event, which would be cool.
That's awesome.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe I will do it.
Maybe we'll go walk.
Fuck it.
What's in the news, Zach?
Let's just see what's happening in the world.
Oh, you talked about a stalker.
They had another stalker that happened.
What was that?
Some celebrity was dealing with it?
Yeah, Kim K, we saw this in the news.
She got a restraining order against a guy who, I guess, claims that he's talking to her telepathically.
See, I think this is one of the byproducts you get of like this metaverse thing and like a lot of these avatars is that people start to believe then that they are in instances with you.
This man, it says Andre Persaud is prohibited from contacting her.
Persaud showed up at her home at least three times.
Yeah, he has to say 100 yards away for the next five years.
What does he mean telepathically?
Is he getting weed?
He probably bought one of the, they probably had a free Ouija board with one of those lip kits or something.
Yeah, I guess he claimed to be armed and showed up at her house three times.
Yeah, that's not the vibe at all, man.
Yeah, and also these bitches seem like ghosts now anyway, almost.
So it's like, I'm not surprised that if one of them showed up through Ouija.
God damn.
What else they got, man?
You were talking about school.
They just announced what the Oxford Dictionary 2022 Word of the Year is.
Oh, let's get it.
You ready?
Mm-hmm.
The Oxford Dictionary Award of the Year.
What do you think it would be based on this year so far?
What would you each guess?
Oh, that's a good question.
Guess.
That's a good one.
Extra definitions.
No, let me think, what's a word that hasn't been, Yeah, or is it a word they're adding new?
Yeah, what is it?
Yeah, the whole, the vibe is that every year, it's like what kind of enters the lexicon that the Oxford Dictionary thinks that they need to start.
Okay.
You know.
Trying to think about like social media and what people really say a lot.
TikTok?
Yeah, I mean, well, TikTok's, I think.
A TikTok.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like a TikTok type vibe.
Yes.
Y-A-S-S.
That's a good call.
Oh, I would say vibe.
Vibe?
Vibe's been around for a little while.
That's the thing is, you can't use a word that exists.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
What about that Badussie?
People say, Badussi.
Bussy?
I don't think they put bussy in there, but bussy does mean boy pussy.
Yeah, or ass pussy.
They used to call it ass pussy.
Ass pussy?
Yeah, respect.
I remember this lady at this gas station would always say, y'all trying to get that ass pussy every time we'd stop there to get some gas, and we didn't know what she was talking about.
She was a dude?
Huh?
She was a dude?
She might have been.
I don't know.
She's offering that ass pussy.
We can't get it, man.
What's up?
What is it?
Are you ready for it?
Goblin mode.
Goblin mode?
Oh, my God.
That is fucking funny, man.
I don't know exactly what it means, but I think I do know what it means.
Describes as unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy behavior.
Oh, that's America, though.
I regularly enter goblin mode, man.
That is funny.
I was expecting worse.
That's the definition.
Goblin mode.
So who, yeah, whose fans are goblin motors then, I wonder?
Playboy Cardi, for sure.
Yeah.
His fans are tweakers.
Are they?
Oh, yeah.
Damn.
They're cool, but they're just like, oh, so yeet fans.
Yeah.
And what about is little do they still have?
Is that a done thing, you think?
People being named Lil Something?
Like Lil.
Because it kind of turned into like.
No, I'm a young.
Right.
Keep that in mind before you speak.
I'm a young, but I spell it a special way.
I mean, Lil Baby is one of the most simple names that I've ever heard, and he is one of the biggest artists on earth.
Good point.
Yeah, they had Lil Peep.
Now ASAP is kind of like.
ASAP, yep, yeah, yep.
But that's like part of a click, you know?
It's like me and the other Youngs aren't really a click, you know.
Oh, so ASAP is part of a click?
ASAP, everything is a click.
Oh, I didn't know that.
It's a group.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow.
So I think it's always drive and prosper.
Pretty dope.
I think everyone in ASAP is cool.
It is.
I didn't realize that.
I just thought it was just random.
You got Young, you got Lil.
you got a couple bigs out there, big boy, big Sean.
I wonder what would be a good name.
Can we see what the other words are for the past couple years?
Yeah.
I'm curious.
A good name?
You think about a rapper name?
For you?
Trying to feel bomb.
Let me go, man.
I'm just going to go...
I like to let people comment.
Hey, if you're watching on YouTube, put below what you think my rapper name would be.
And it can be good or bad.
You can make fun of me if you want.
Thick.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, something GED would be good a little.
GED?
Yeah.
No, that doesn't really work.
Thalamus Victorium GED.
Oh, damn.
That sounds pretty good.
Thalamus Victorium GED.
That sounds like some Harry Potter, Purvy Harry Potter kind of.
Some horny shit, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I've been horned out.
These are the other words of the year.
ASAP horny.
ASAP horny?
That's not bad.
Little medium.
Lil medium is hard.
Especially if you're like a seancer.
If you read in brains, bro, a little medium.
That'd be pretty hard.
Throbbing Vaughn.
Would that work?
That sound more like just for sex.
I want to give you a piece of music, too.
All right, facts, facts.
I want to have a talent.
Throat Vaughn.
Ooh.
I know.
I don't want that, though.
You rap with it, man.
Come on, man.
Throat Vaughn.
I'm going to have a lot of dudes rolling up with that meat mail trying to put it fucking trying to put a letter in the dog.
We got Young Gravy and Throat Vaughn, man.
New mixtape.
Make them take.
What do we got?
What are they?
What do we got?
Last couple were kind of whack, but so 2021 was vax.
Like vaccination, right?
Whatever.
2020 was words of an unprecedented year, which again is like, I don't know.
Climate emergency?
Dude, I like how it was all this shit, and then we got goblin mode this year.
Dude, somebody, they must have a different sponsor.
Obviously, this year is sponsored by Monster Energy, dude.
They went in a goblin mode.
Toxic Youth Quake.
YouthQuake?
I like that, man.
I don't know any of these words.
Youthquake is kind of lit, though.
It has a little sus on it.
Wow, they added an emoji.
Word of the year in 2015 was an emoji.
Damn, life sucks, man.
Oh, there we go.
Vape was already one.
Selfie.
Squeezed middle.
What's that?
Squeezed middle.
Yeah, that's good.
Carbon footprint.
Sudoku.
Podcast.
2005.
2005.
Look at how much better things were, man.
We had Sudoku and podcast.
We had carbon neutral.
Yeah, I think it got bad in 2009 when they called us simples.
It was simples and unfriend.
And now we're looking at vape selfie and that is getting bad.
Yeah.
Damn, man.
That's when it got.
What else we got, Zach?
Anything else in the news?
With the Hindi word of the year.
Oh, yeah.
It was right there.
It was right there.
Go back.
I couldn't really read what it was, man.
Maybe I don't want to pronounce it.
You got it.
You got it, man.
Samvid Han.
Or the Constitution.
I'm going to go with Atomanerbada or Self-Reliance.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have a lot of Hindi information.
That's what I was expecting, honestly.
Unfortunately.
What is your age range?
I know you do a lot of the MIL thing.
What is the age range on that?
And what is the age range on that MIL thing?
So I'm not.
Are you an age demon or is it just matter?
Is it just about the agenda?
I think it's going to be like, I mean, I think most people probably can assume, but like, you know, some people just don't really get it.
Like, I'm not loyal to only older women.
Let's not.
Yeah.
People do make that assumption.
There's literally a video that dropped of me walking in Buffalo, New York with this girl who was just clearly not a MILF holding hands and it got like 6 million views.
And all the comments were just, oh my God, bro, that's not a MILF.
What is going on?
I was like, dude, like, I mean, yeah, MILFs are dope, but I'm not.
It's like a solar eclipse or something.
I'm not discriminating, man.
The age range, I mean, I dated a girl that was four years younger than me for a little bit.
Okay.
She's a sweetheart.
She had a child.
Very mature.
She did not have a child.
The oldest woman I've been with was 54. Okay.
And that was 28 years older than me.
Right?
Yeah, I think that's very fair, man.
My mom and dad were 38 years apart.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn, mine are 21 years apart.
Wow, and that's far.
Or were.
And that's, I thought that was a lot.
One of your parents passed away?
Yeah, my dad died when I was 16. Oh, man.
So did mine.
When you were 16?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, he had cancer.
Fuck, man.
My dad fell on the ice.
It hit his head while walking my dog.
My dad was way older, though.
My dad was born in 1933 in Switzerland.
Was he really?
Yep.
Dude, my dad was born in 1910 or 1912 in Nicaragua.
Wow.
Damn, we got a similar situation.
Yeah, so my grandparents, Rudolph and Verena, are from like 1880 or something.
Yeah, my dad was born in 1933.
I'm born in like 56. And yeah, 23-year difference.
And here I am, man.
I like to have older parents.
Yeah, well, I think it probably adds some sort of a worldliness to you as well.
Like things, you know, you don't even recognize that.
And you have to also, I think I realized, I was thinking about this the other day, you're watching an older person.
So then how you interact with the world and how you interact with things is probably going to be a little bit different than if you have like a capable and constantly on the go father.
Whereas if you have someone that's probably just even just spending more time at peace or relaxing or just sitting there, my dad would just sleep all the time and his eyes would start leaking.
And I didn't know what was going on.
He was just old.
People get older.
Yeah, absolutely.
Wait, so how old was he when he passed?
He was 86. 86. Wow.
Well, you were 16. But that's so wild, man.
Gosh, what a dark surprise.
Your dad just went for a walk.
His head, it was in the middle of winter.
He slipped on the ice, hit his head, and like didn't realize it till like five hours later, be like internal brain bleeding.
He started having a bad reaction.
It's fucked up because I was at my homie's house and we were like smoking and just chilling.
And I got a call from my mom, like, yo, dad's in the hospital.
And you were stoned?
You should come.
I was stoned, and it freaked me out extra.
I mean, by the time I got there, obviously I sobered up, but I was, yeah, it was just really bad timing.
But I think overall, it kind of helped me in life, man.
At least looking back, I'm proud of how I took it.
It motivated me.
My mom kind of shut down for a while and couldn't do a lot because she was just like, you hit her so hard.
So I kind of became the man of the house when I was 16 and I had to get myself into college and do all this stuff.
And I think it motivated me a lot, man.
Like I missed my dad like shit.
But I think that that was a turning point for me.
Did you get to say anything to him when you got to the hospital or he was unconscious?
No.
It was bad timing.
I think right when I got there, he had just reached the point of not being able to talk anymore.
So he was kind of like coughing and shit.
But yeah.
Yeah.
And obviously I said shit to him.
I don't know.
Maybe hopefully he heard it.
Yeah, man.
I was 16. It was January.
He's born in Switzerland.
I think I said that.
And Swiss citizen and everything, man.
I still see his family sometimes.
He had, dope.
So he had five siblings, grew up in a family of six, and every single one of them has died in an accident, except for the two that are alive, who are like 95 and 96. Damn.
My family's just on some shit.
Yeah.
And you just hurt yourself.
Yeah, dude.
I break my shit all the time, man.
It's that extra two inches.
That extra two inches, man.
I'm going to survive, man.
I'm not going to die.
I think if I make it to 50, I'm going to be happy.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that, man.
It's interesting that when that kind of stuff happens and then how it processes into the rest of your life.
Did your mother remarry?
My mom's had a few boyfriends since, and I'm always talking with her about it.
We're really close.
My mom and I became like best friends.
Was she at your show the other night?
Not the other night.
She's been to Flames too.
She's coming tomorrow, actually.
We're going to Austin, Texas tomorrow.
My mom and I are super tight, man.
Yeah, see her as much as I can.
She's had a few boyfriends since then, but like, you know, I'm protective.
Yeah.
They're whack.
One of them was cool, but one of them was whack.
So, you know, I think she's, you know, she's still in love with him.
So she's trying things out.
But.
Yeah, I wonder if love kind of feels like it goes on after we die, doesn't it?
It feels like it has a power that's bigger than us.
Do you ever think about something like that?
I remember at one point, the one time that I really felt like I was in love with somebody, it was this girl, I don't know, I want to say about three years ago.
And I was like, I was more afraid of her dying than anything else.
I was like, she could break up with me.
It's all good.
But if she died, I was like, dude, I'm going to be fucked up forever.
Wow.
You know, because I was like, man, like, I love this bitch.
And I don't want, you know, to like forever, for the rest of my life, think that like compare everything in my life to her.
You know, now that we broke up and like everything's over and like I see what she's on now, it's like I feel better because I'm like, oh, like she's happy.
I'm happy.
We're different.
It makes sense that we're separated rather than like, oh, this could have been perfect.
And then she died.
You know?
Yeah.
Love.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I mean, love almost feels dangerous.
And it's almost like, damn, do I even want to go to this thing that's fucking scary, bro?
When it incites feelings like that.
And like, you know, it's funny because being in love, people think like, oh, I want to be in love that it just is like only this positive thing, but it's kind of got this trap door that's, you know, you got to be careful of your footing in there.
Yeah.
I think there's only been like maybe like one or two other times.
One of them was pretty recently that I kind of felt that same way.
And, man, it's hard because it's like, yo, especially with like, at least how I live and I assume kind of how you live, it's like when you're traveling all the time, it's really hard to like, you know, you got to find the right person that's down to like, you know, accept that you're going to be gone all the time and be all over and be around people.
You got to teach it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, that's a hard, look, man, it's hard when there's opportunities to meet women.
And did you get a lot of girls growing up?
I mean, you're probably, you seem like a tall, kind of handsomer guy.
You guys usually do pretty well.
I'm tall.
Actually, you know what?
I think part of the reason I sort of have game now is because when I was around maybe 15, 16, I was part of like this, in my hometown, there was the Skaters and there was the Haycks, right?
Oh, yeah.
And the Somalians.
Those were like the three.
The Smallhands?
Somalians.
Oh, Somalians.
A lot of them in Minnesota.
I was like, damn, Smallhand.
The Small Hands.
The Somalians.
Those are my boys.
So it was like, those were like the three groups of the dudes within my hometown.
There was four high schools, but still, it was kind of like split.
Skater Stoners, Hicks that drove trucks, War Steel Toilboos, and I'm the Somalians, which were like...
It was the Vietnamese or everybody.
But everyone kind of had their little crews.
But then there was just, all the girls were kind of like free game, like all over.
You know what I'm saying?
Where was I even going with this?
You were saying when I was growing up, there was three types of people, and I was like, oh, do you know anything about sit?
No, not sitting.
Yeah, it was like, did you have game in high school?
Oh, did I have game?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Sorry.
The whole thing is, all my friends in my little skater crew were handsome motherfuckers and they were really good at skateboarding.
And I wasn't that good at skateboarding.
And I was kind of ugly, skinny, had acne and shit.
So I had to develop game in order to wheel on the same women that all my peers were wheeling on.
You know what I'm saying?
So I had to develop game early.
And dude, I used to just like go out solo and like go to like, dude, I was like 15 or 16. And I would just go out to like, either like a bar and like find my way in or like go wherever and just like meet women.
Sober and just like meet and like see, like try to train myself, you know?
And then I finally got that game and like I had some really hot girlfriends in high school that made me look ugly as shit because I was dusty.
And I never really like came up and like kind of I kind of grew into my body when I was in college and like, you know, got the facial hair and like became like a normal looking dude.
I wasn't like, I wasn't like a fucking little trash can man, but I was definitely a little dusty.
I can see you kind of look like almost like George Washington's fine son.
Oh, I'll take that, man.
Shit.
Let's go.
Okay.
Thank you, sir.
So, so yeah, man, I developed Gamer Leon, and I think that that sort of confidence and charisma carried into my music and helped a lot with like just even like any risks I was taking.
Yeah, you got to be, yeah, you have to be really confident up there to do that.
It's interesting watching somebody.
It's funny, watching somebody else do their art.
You can't even believe that you do anything that's even remotely similar to it.
Yeah, it isn't that different.
Yeah, like I was up there with Trevor the other night watching.
We're like, dude, we should have freaking done music, dude.
We were so pissed at ourselves because it just, there's such a different energy.
Like with comedy, it's just like, hey, you're almost just like, hey, don't you wish I could do music?
You know, it's almost like you just wish you could, you know.
But it's funny watching somebody else perform sometimes.
It doesn't even feel like you do anything similar to that.
Yeah.
I remember the, I don't think I've been on your shows, but I've been to a few of Trevor's.
And I mean, I get so impressed with last one I was at, Chris Delia came out.
Oh, yeah, Anthony Jessina came out.
And Mark Hayes.
And man, just the, what's the word?
Just the improv levels were insane, man.
I was like very impressed.
I feel like anyone who does comedy, am I wrong in thinking that anyone who does comedy would be really good at acting?
I don't know.
I feel like you could slay that shit.
Yeah, I think acting is just a lot more like, even I did a part in a movie recently with Bobby Lee.
It was a friend of mine's movie, This Guy Lodge.
It's about a sober living.
And we did some parts in it.
And even watching back, watching some of it back, I'm like, oh, acting, you don't move at all.
Like, even like, I didn't think I was moving much, like, even when we were recording, but I was like, oh, damn, there's some parts where I'm even moving too much.
Like, acting is like, you're not doing anything, bro.
I mean, you're getting the message across, but that's all you're doing, you know?
I finally tried some acting with Comedy Central recently.
That shit was actually a lot of fun.
What was it?
I did like four little sketches with them.
There was one I saw that was, I think it was for it was with Pizza Hut maybe or something.
I did some show with Pizza Hut too.
Pizza shit was good.
I did with Comedy Central, I did one.
It was like a, it was like a polyamorous rom-com.
And then there was one about me being a human taxidermist.
One about me meeting God.
And we're about to drop this one called, yeah, that shit's funny.
Oh, I nutted on DMT, that one?
Yeah.
No, it's another good one, though.
I just got the final cut of this one called Clot Ones.
I think I can reveal the plot.
It's like Hot Ones, but they hooked me up to a menstrual cramp simulator and throwing blood at me.
It was lit.
It's funny.
We're going dark over there.
Yeah, no, the whole thing was funny, man.
Comedy Central was dope.
I had fun doing a little bit of acting, man.
I want to do more of that.
I mean, I'm not saying, it's like you're kind of like this.
You're just kind of this energy, this force, and I think people want to be around it.
Anything else in the news, Zach?
I'm trying to think of.
We need a lot of news.
I got a kind of a crazy video of these guys slapping each other at an IHOP.
Yeah, sure.
So what?
Oh, take me through.
So you do sampling a lot of your music.
You find things you like from the past.
What is that like?
What are, like, can you just do that?
Take me through some of that.
It's complicated.
Legally, you got to clear everything since my lyrics are very not friendly, especially for like these older songs where it's the estate or it's someone older who's listening to it.
A lot of times they don't like hip-hop.
So trying to just straight up clear something doesn't work often.
A lot of times we'll just bring ideas into the studio and then kind of just recreate or make something similar and that works easier.
It's like, it's annoying.
So I finally found producers that can just make their own shit off the top, which is dope.
But yeah, it's annoying.
What is it?
So say if you do use a song, do you have to, if you do want to use something, do you have to reach out to them first?
How does that kind of work?
I didn't at first when I was starting out SoundCloud and doing all that.
A lot of my songs I blew up really big.
I didn't because I didn't even know how.
I didn't have any legal folks to help me with it.
And I just said, you know what?
They can only sue me for as much as I made off the song.
So it's worth it because I'll still get whatever attention I need off of it or whatever.
The only actual time that I've had to take a song fully down and give all the money away was George Michaels Estate with sampled KO's Whisper.
And I'm signing the check this week for the 190k.
But besides that, it's like cool.
So they asked for $190 or was it negotiated?
How did you have a now sample?
That was just all the, like they had to get reports.
That was how much money I made on the song.
That's kind of a deep cut, too.
So I was impressed that they figured all that out.
But I got to pay them that.
Everybody else, we'll just, you know, they'll take a little check and they'll take some publishing on the song.
It's like a percentage.
But they usually pretty cool about it.
And nowadays, now that I'm signed and everything, I can't, like, I have to go through the full process.
Yeah, is it almost kind of a bummer?
It's like once you get the popular, once you kind of get to some levels of achievement, you then have to do.
It messes up my style.
A lot of sort of the staples of my style, I can't do anymore.
And I have to try to recreate in other ways.
Yeah.
Which I found ways to do, which is like, you know, little like old school samples and stuff.
I can make my own.
I can make my own sample, like full-on samples from scratch, like a full song.
But like, it's not, you know, it's not quite the same, but I figured out ways to make it work.
So is that like, say, there's somebody who's wanting to sample stuff, they like sampling, they're trying to figure it out for themselves, but they're afraid to put their music out there.
They're like a new artist, right?
Do it.
Would you just tell them to do it?
Yeah.
Do it.
Yeah.
If you're early, do it.
It's worth it, man.
I didn't have to deal with any of it until like, I mean, I think once my songs were getting more than like 30 million streams, like that was when people started noticing.
It's like before that, they're not going to, if it's something old, at least, they're not going to notice.
And if you do it right, like, and they like the song, they're most likely getting to clear it out of like 10 different situations I had only one of them ended up really bad So I'd say do it I'd say do it if you want to sample something do it It's worth uh worth the try You got arrested you said a couple times what was one of the take me through one of those issues Yeah,
so you know I've told a lot of these stories, but I guess I haven't really delved fully into the the third which was um I want to say December 2019 maybe it wasn't that long ago.
I was it was right before Christmas and I was drunk in Atlanta and I wanted to go get some food, right?
My whole crew with us, we were in Buckhead.
My whole crew that was with me, they didn't want to go get any food.
So then I met this random fella, spiky hair, kind of reddish.
He was like, man, like, what's good, Gravy?
Let's go get some pizza.
And I was like, hell yeah.
So we walked like two blocks and then there's DeKalb tire, right?
Tire store right there on the block, middle of Buckhead.
Oh, yeah.
He was like, yo, man, this is my dad's shop.
He's like, this is my dad's place.
You want to go inside?
I was like, of course.
Yeah, let's get it.
So we go around back and he takes like a, sort of like a shovel and like props open the garage door in the back.
And I guess I just figured it was normal.
I was like, this is how you get into your dad's business, man.
It's all good.
Yeah.
And we get in there.
We're fucking around.
Like, we're in this tire store.
Like, some of the lights are on.
We're just jumping around.
We're like rolling tires back.
Just some drunk dumb shit.
Rolling tires back and forth, climbing on pallets, like having a good time.
This shit sounds fucking erotic, dog.
Dude, it was just like some bonding shit with the homie, man.
I don't even remember his, I don't remember his name.
I don't remember his fucking name.
Anyways, I am just, I like look down at my phone because someone had called me and I look back up and I just like look around.
I'm like, buddy is gone.
He's completely gone.
And I couldn't remember what his name was.
So I'm in this tire store and there's like all this shit laying around.
And I'm like, fuck, man.
Like, what do I do?
So I just, I just walk out the back door and there's three cops there, like guns out, like flashlight on me, like, get on the fucking ground.
Did he set you up, you think?
I don't know.
He didn't set me up.
I think what he, I think his dad didn't own it.
It was some random kid who somehow knew that like he could get into the back of his tire shop.
He brought me in there and we were like just fucking around.
And then he must have noticed that there was like a cop car or something.
He ran.
And then I just walked out like innocently.
And there's three cops waiting.
And I got fucking arrested for breaking and entering into a tire store.
Oh, dang, bro.
You know what I ended up doing, bro?
My Midwestern self, man, after all that, I went to jail for the night.
It was, dude, I was in this cell with all these dudes.
And they were just, oh, man, I had to freestyle to like, get, to gain some, you know.
Toilet access, I'm sure.
Yeah.
I was in a huge cell.
I had to gain some credit by freestyling.
Wow.
Was that scary when you first went in?
A little bit, but I was like, I mean, I was like, stand out.
I was just kind of geeking out.
I was like, man, I can't believe this is what led me here.
But it was Fulton County, so it was like, you know, mid-Atlanta.
Only white dude there, for sure.
Did anybody recognize you in the jail cell?
There was one kid.
Yep.
But I was like, I was just like, no, let's not.
There was another time where my first time going to jail was in Iowa.
I beat up this kid who was being racist to my friend.
And I actually got bailed out by fans because I put up a story of me like in the jail cell because they forgot to take my phone.
Not the cell, in like the processing area.
And I filmed the other kid that I beat up.
And it was him bleeding.
He was like, oh, fuck you, bro.
But somehow these fans could tell that I was in Ames, Iowa.
Wow.
And they pulled up and paid my bail and got me out.
Dude, that's amazing, bro.
So literally, like the guard walks in.
He's like, hey, is there a little gravy in here?
And I was like, yes.
Yes, there is.
Yes, there is, man.
So that was a good one.
The tire one, you know, I had no explanation.
I was like, yeah, man.
So my homie, his dad owns the place.
Like, it's all good.
Like, what's his name?
I was like, God.
They hit you with that hard question.
I was like, shit, I don't know, man.
I was drunk.
And yeah, so I have multiple charges of criminal trespassing in Georgia now.
And one, well, in Iowa, that one turned into an assault charge.
And then basically I got a good lawyer.
The other kid that was in the fight did not.
Wow.
And I showed up to court.
He didn't.
He now has assault in Iowa after getting his ass beat.
And I have creating a raucous noise.
So I created a raucous noise in Iowa one time.
Defeating racism.
That's what the raucous noise is.
Yeah.
I defeated racism, man.
That is a raucous noise, man.
Wow.
Yeah, that tire shop, man.
We've all been in some kind of instance like that.
Weird, just, yeah, wrong place, man.
And I think it was Christmas Eve that my friend bailed me out the next morning.
It's for Christmas Eve.
God.
It feels good getting out of jail, doesn't it?
It's something nice about it.
So good, dude.
When they come in your cell, because they don't pay you attention in jail.
If you're in there, if you have any questions, anything you even want to like, you know, you even want food, they'll turn down the AC on you, get your ass all cold and shit.
Anything you want, they'll just not even look at you if you ask for it.
But like when that dude comes in and finally says, like, yo, Matthew Howry, it's your time to go.
I think I shed a tear just about every time.
Yeah, last, dude.
That's Amistad, bro.
So what about when you go out?
Did y'all go eat or something?
You just go rest?
What do you do when you get out?
I never gotten out.
Get out of jail?
You've never gotten out of jail.
I've gotten out of jail one time, and this dude in there kept yelling.
I remember I got in there.
We were smoking weed in some people's house, and the cops show up, and then they bring two children down from upstairs.
And I'm like, whose children is it?
And they're like, that's a great question.
Y'all are getting contributing to delinquencies of minors.
How old are you?
I was probably 19. So they brought these two children down, and they almost look like bots, bro, like plants, dude.
Like, I'm sure they brought bitches up the back steps, you know?
Like, yeah, it was just anyway, they're like rubbing their eyes.
It looked too fake, right?
When I had a little doll in their hand, I'm like, these, you know what I'm saying?
And we were just sitting in a living room smoking weed.
So we all went into jail.
I got locked up with this one kid, this one dude who kept taking his shirt off And screaming that he wasn't a homosexual, you know.
And I didn't accuse him of being a homosexual.
You know, I think he thought, I think he, you know, like he thought if you went to jail that you were going to be a homosexual, you know, he was like, you know, I was like, I'm not being homosexual, so you're good through jail, bro.
Like, and he kept taking his fucking shirt off.
I think he was trying to trap me like a dude, like a gay trap.
But that reminds me.
The first time I got locked up, it was in also in Georgia.
It was eight of us.
But, but I was, we were at a house party, wrong place, wrong time, blah, blah, blah.
Every time, wrong place, wrong time.
That's got to be here next time.
In the end, I got charged with a bunch of shit.
And that's what led to the Montana thing.
But this situation, when we got there, they kept calling me a Yankee.
And they were like, not fucking with me.
Because everyone else was from Georgia.
I'm the Minnesota kid.
This is like backwards, like deliverance, Georgia.
Oh, yeah.
And they were calling me a Yankee and shit.
And they put all seven of my friends in one cell together.
And they put me in a separate one with this dude, Danny.
Danny was a pedophile on an oxygen machine.
So it was like, it was like, I'm kind of like, they're kind of shitting on me, but they're kind of not.
But they clearly hated this fucker.
So they put the thermostat down to like 55. And I'm in there, and I'm just hiding the woods.
So I'm in like a t-shirt and some shorts and I'm wet.
And Danny luckily got two blankets because he's, you know, got something wrong with him.
So he gave me a blanket.
He told me a lot of, bro.
I was in there for probably 24 hours.
I learned a lot of shit from Danny, man.
Reading, Pennsylvania, he told me everything about that damn city.
Try to teach me how to hot wire a car.
With no car in front of you, just free life.
Yeah, just like imagining it and about how he didn't actually rape anyone.
And, you know, it was interesting, like, you know, 24 hours.
But yeah, man, they just, when they get you in that situation and you're like in the fucking pen, it's like they have all the power.
And it's like, you know what?
I don't like this kid.
He's not from where I'm from.
So I'm going to put him in here with the pedophile.
What about nighttime?
Do they have nighttime in there where they where it's like lights off kind of thing?
No, there's no lights off.
No.
This is like jail, like holding.
It's like in between jail and prison.
So it's like they really want to fuck with you and make you feel like shit.
So like there's no lights off.
Temperature's low.
I was sleeping on like a little Civil War book that day and he got as a gift from somebody.
Yeah.
No, I didn't get processed for like 14 hours.
So I was there.
I was just on the floor.
No bed or anything.
And you can have your phone with you?
No, hell no.
No, no.
It was Iowa.
Georgia, the jail system was fucked up.
Iowa, they just lacked and they just forgot to take my phone, so I had it.
But now in Georgia, it was like everything was taken on site.
Yeah, man.
They don't like me down there.
Georgia just does not fuck with me.
I'm banned from a few strip clubs in Georgia and shit.
I could see that, though.
I used to fight people a lot.
That was my problem.
I used to fight people.
Really?
So I fought some bouncers at Claremont Lounge.
You ever been there?
Yeah.
I'm banned from there forever.
They have like a wanted poster for me.
Yeah.
That's so great.
I have a really good friend who's a professional MMA fighter that I always go out with there.
So it's like, I used to get into this mentality of like, oh, I don't give a fuck.
I'll do whatever I want.
Because if we get in a fight, I'm with Joe Bradley.
And yeah, man.
I got banned from Claremont Lounge.
God.
Yeah, Claremont, dude.
I bought drugs in there and people, you don't know if they're me.
Everybody's, you know, it's sort of like a little.
It's like a wild card and UNO.
It's everything is draw four.
It's draw 400, bro.
Everybody in there.
Yeah, everything.
Yeah, dude.
Everything's wild in there, man.
It is, bro.
It's wild.
It's a great place if you've never been to Claremont Lounge.
There's senior citizen strippers in there, and a lot of people have heard about it by now.
But it is a great place to go.
And a lot of closeted men will go in there and like who have families and stuff, and they'll meet other men in there, I noticed.
Yeah, and there's just breasts that are beyond what you can really picture.
Anything's a tit in that bitch.
Yeah, you can picture, like, you pictured the biggest breasts you've ever seen, and they have bigger there.
Dude, we used to do this fun thing in our class in school.
One of us would go behind, they had a chalkboard and a little bit of space between the chalkboard and the wall.
And one of us would go back in there and you'd kind of get your pants down a river and pull your nuts like over your wiener kind of and pretend like it was a baby's head.
It looked like a baby's head and you were having a baby.
And then you'd, what?
Just something kids, you know, like, I don't know, what were you talking about a second?
I was talking about big tits at Claremont Lounge.
Yeah, so I was just thinking about crazy shit.
Okay, all right, fair enough, fair enough.
Yeah, but it's like, it would almost look like a baby kind of.
I remember the goat.
They used to call it the goat.
Oh, yeah, pushing it back.
You push it back and you bend over.
Yep, the goat.
Yeah, this one you kind of pull your nuts over.
You kind of like create this.
It looks like a baby's head coming out of your body.
It's actually, it's cool.
It's pretty dope.
It's pretty artistic.
It's cool.
That's kind of like a Halloween.
It's kind of like a Halloween kind of, you know, definitely.
So it looks like a meteor just landing.
We got to wait another couple seasons before we get that again, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Just missed Halloween, man.
Yeah, you don't get that every month, bro.
Gravy, the tour, it's keep going on.
How long is this tour going to go on?

Glad you made it.
Glad you liked it, too.
