John Zmirak: America Is Patty Hearst
"Talk about the piece that you wrote behind you. People who watch this on video can see behind you the image of a young Patty Hearst, symbiote, the symbionese Liberation Army in the 70s when we were kids kidnapped her. She was of extremely wealthy heiress. And people who are younger wouldn't know this, but something happened. Her captors sort of brainwashed her into thinking the way they were thinking. So that she sided with the people who tortured and raped and kidnapped her. And it's called Stockholm syndrome. And you've written a piece that's streamed dot org that deals with that. So go ahead and tell us about that piece. Yeah, Patti Hearst was grabbed by a bunch of San Francisco radicals of the kind that formed Kamala Harris, Willie Brown was the political mentor of Kamala Harris. He was also the political mentor of Harvey Milk, the gay activist and the reverend Jim Jones, the left wing cult leader who started that compound in Guyana and got everyone to take cyanide and drink in the Kool-Aid. This ferment, this world of crazed radicalism is what gave birth to the woke movement, which currently dominates the entire Democratic Party and is being posed on the United States.

"Of money in Atlanta. Memories. I could tell you I'm a tell you all one time. One thing I remember about Jimmy and the strip club is there was a time. And I know you remember this. There was a time at the old diamonds cabaret, which is now G 5 that you and Lil Wayne had a money fight. Oh no. Across the stage. And then the owner tried to tell me to get off the stage. I wanted to singles on it. Yes. It was not good with the other nigga told niggas. Tried to regulate because the girls that was on stage was getting way too much money, and they were trying to make sure that they were not really on that side and the money was just even like that doesn't happen anymore. So first of all, let's get back to who started make it rain. The nigga that started making rain, his name is Zoe. It's from Miami. So first nigga I ever see ever seen making rain besides big pump big puns didn't make it rain. He used to crawl up all the money up and then he went bitches in the head. And softballs. Sarah squid. So pound boys. Going down Rolex. First time seemed to get 5015. What? What? What? Took that shit everywhere now. Now the whole game is starting to make it rain. That's just started in Miami. Niggas wasn't going to strip club and making it rain. Now, Atlanta's all make it rain now. Bowling came out and make it rain became a sport. My life made a lot of money for the women. When balling came on, if you was on stage or at magic city in the H you already knew just off that one song you was gonna make all the money that you needed for that night because every nigga in the club that had money was throwing in the air for the whole and guess what DJ Nando was going to run a bit. And he was a little more money from crazy. It was crazy. So Gigi is saying thank you. That was a great time. I definitely Chrissy all assuming that boy, you spent too much money and I'm strip clubs. I was so heavy to strip clubs without first just like it was just part of everything we started to see club after time. She probably helped you throw something. Every night in a strip club. From Miami to Atlanta to New York. Niggas is born. One night, what you think was the most craziest night you had. You went the next day. What do you think is the most you ever do? Right, and one night. To craziest, craziest night in my life in a strip club was Houston all star weekend, maybe all four or more. No, no. It was when boring came out. Wait, wait, wait, did you see? If you were to show club in a song ball and come on, you ain't got no choice. Rolling came out right before ball and came out. I had to change. I had to chain and so it might have been whatever it was. I know it was all star. Houston. We can. If it's O 6, O 7 one of them type machines. Everybody is in inside the strip club. Wayne, diddy, or the niggas from Houston. I exaggerate not. We may have to a half a $1 million in singles that night between myself when diddy came in there with garbage bags for the one. He had to came in there with like a hundred. Bro, I'm here to come with a 150,000 singles. I don't know how the fuck you got there. I remember. I've never seen that like this. That might sound like a snowstorm, the whole club. It didn't even rain. It's no. The whole club. It's not like an angel. Fucking money was up that high. Wow. Knee high. It was about it was a foot of money. Knee high to a point where the bitches were just standing there with the garbage bags. That's how much money was being. I'm talking about nonstop for like that's a Texas thing. Two hours straight talking about nonstop. I've never ever seen no shit like that ever in my life. Y'all know I had a good ten year running these strip clubs. The only time I ever seen girls hold the trash bag open was until I seen it in Dallas. And I think it's too stupid. They put the bag over top of the head. 'cause it gets into the bag. They ate none of this. I've never seen no shit. I mean, I've been to a lot of wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Another time? But I see, I see me. No, no, no, no, no. I know. What you did. What I've seen meets in these niggas on numerous occasions. On regular nights. Do some shit. That's out of fucking hand. Disrespectfully out of here. Don't hold thousand break like a football. Start hitting bitches in the head all the way. Grown men are stuffing bricks of singles down they can't stay in the money they take in the numerous so embarrassing a sweat towel and then they would drop it and then they would pick it up like this. And it'll be full of money and then yeah, I've seen the security supposed to be like too much too much. What's going on? That's embarrassing that's embarrassing. And he pick up some money. I don't know. As a grown ass man, the money used to be so crazy. And when I worked at major city on a Monday night, the money would be so crazy that we would come back to work Tuesday, day shit for whatever and ethanol and all the trash bags to be busted open in the dumpster around a dumpster. The money was falling into the trash here and the fiends would come after the club closed and ripped the trash bags open to get the money that came out the trash. Literally, I made a city they got a little gate thing where the dumpsters is now, and it's because they would come back Tuesday morning or Tuesday for day shift and it would be trash all over the parking lot because the fiends then came and ripped all the bags open because the money was falling so true. Is it like that anymore? No. Okay. I mean, I equal say that. There's a.

Tim dos seemed like he never gets nervous. I like the fact that when he first got here, he seemed a little nervous. He didn't know what to expect. And we know that context. You know what I mean? So just like me being here, everybody knows the situation. So it was like and I would like to partake without going too far and then getting home like nigga. But Jimmy, I'm a tell you this. I know I'm ready to Chrissy. I respect her and your relationship. That's why we ask you general questions. Just to see how you feel about life and also to hear about, you know, Jim Jones, who, what made you who you are today, your thoughts on relationships, your thoughts on sex, you know? Your gross.

I think so. A 100 million %. Does it bother you if you're about to come from oral sex and a woman moves and you and doesn't let you come in her mouth? Does that like fuck up the flow? 'cause I've heard women say I'm on that guy coming my mouth. And I wonder if that fucks up the whole thing. At home, that has happened to me. But I was younger. Back in the day. Yes, terrible. Tara does buck it up, right? It's like that's terrible. We grow in the world. What are we doing here? How would you do that? Lisa. Unless it was for to aim it somewhere else and then you dig then it was like it was but that's a sexy part. Have you ever been like freaked out by something that when we actually do or caught off guard like, oh shit, I know you was coming with that. Back in the day. Back in the day, some of the things that women would request would be like bizarre like nigga you gotta build on like a belt. Choke me with it. So you would be in a baby. That was way too early. But I'm just saying that yeah, you like. Or like I got a belt like the unexpected, like have you ever been like shocked? 'cause I mean, you know, in your heyday, you was in a lot of cities. You got a belt on nigga. That was me. That's like. That's crazy. That's crazy. Beat me with me with this show. I'll be like, what are you doing? With me for my. Slap me. Would you do it? Slap me hard. No, I slap me bitch ass nigga like, what? Did you do it? Yeah. All right. This is actually in the face. 90s. That's on the road back in the day. Listen, you know you wish. I love you before you settle down. A 100%. And I've definitely came up across some bizarre sexual activities. Coming up in this industry in this game, I definitely am a rapper. You know that's what we really want to definitely. We want to know the truth. I've been on tour. It's been hundreds of girls in the lobbies. There's been bitches telling dipset for miles. It's like very bizarre scene bitches standing outside cam door like it was a crack spotted shit like that like online like damn it. But like you never wanted number two number three we'll call you we'll call you when it's time. I am Philadelphia one of the craziest. I'm from ATG. I don't know how it is now. Right. But there was this going to be the date. You know what? In the day we were going to Philadelphia craziest city hands down when it came to the jump offs. Good to know. Wow. I don't know how I feel about that. It's a jump on us. I'm not saying you're making crazy stories. But I'm not going to I'm going to give a trivia trivia. I will never tell you who it is, but it was one of the greatest female rappers of all time. She was fired. We had to do was a fucking pool party, like 96, 97 for cam and Philly. It was like 50 girls did. Maybe one say his name God bless her soul and shit like that. Do fulfill at the time, very influential getting a lot of money doing an album release party for cam ended up being an album release pool party house party to the club party and back when we got to everything was cool. We didn't know who the girls was we all go to the club, we came back and we came back all the girls are stripped as everybody was going crazy in the spot. It sounds like the tips are a video. It's hard, like not feeling different. Shots to Philly Philly had a lot of great times of Phillies in Atlanta. Land is retarded to when I was younger. Yeah, both of myself. At that time, fully fully definitely was ill and I don't know 'cause maybe because it was so close to New York so it was just a little that east coast but Atlanta.

"With you in her past. That has nothing to do with you. But even nowadays, though, I feel like a lot of guys get a trip off of that to just be like, oh, I had that. You know what I mean? I fucked that. I had what if it was a video out? That's corny. But that's. What if a video got leaked? Niggas a lot of niggas are I don't know man. But that's why you out there like that. I hit that. I hate that. I hate that. I hit them. That's lame. Because if you had an intimate situation with somebody and you either feel about that guy's bragging about this ladies and I was with a dude and you had fuck my dude, would you tell me? Oh my God, I would tell you right away. I'd be like, and listen one time back in the day, I was drunk. I was journalist. You hit it before as opposed to telling the nigga yo I hate that bitch ain't good. Letting me know 'cause I don't want to find out anyway. No, that's why I was honestly. Trying to stop a nigga from fucking with a bitch. No, if I hit him now, you know okay, what if the girl tried to hallow at you while she's with him in? And would you tell him, just so you know, shorty, who was definitely trying to give me a vibe? Definitely. That's weak traits. Man. Yeah. You got it. If you do it in person, that's your guy. That's a member. Like, no, that's you. Use a weak ass nigga for that if you could take them signs and continue with that behind your God's back. That's your go and tell him and he probably be like, man, I don't care about that bitch I don't you dig like or whatever it is and shit like that, but you have to tell your member if something like that happened like boy, girl was trying to give me a vibe, boy, I don't know what you got going on. I'm just letting you know. 'cause I like your rusty lying too. They'll be like, no, I did not. He tripping. Why? And I didn't that's a whole other situation. So it would be like, but if that's your member, if that's one of your guys, not like you walked in the room, you know a bunch of niggas from the industry and shit like that. That's one of your guys. You got it. So if you're saying if that's your member, your guy, and he's fucking with a chick that you fucked beforehand. Years ago, you wouldn't tell him. You were telling him. Definitely let him know. But not like her, but just not hating that she's a horror. I'm not trying to hate on nobody's situation, but I am going to let her nigga know. So we don't know her. 'cause imagine she tells him. He's going to tell. So then I got to just first. You did. And that's only if I know that he's involved with that chick. You did? Niggas do a lot of different shit so if it's like that I ain't no reason to be like, oh, I hit that too, but if you see a member get involved with a chick and you know they start and they wanna call this shit like that and you go like, yo, just you did. Then you knew blast back to bay bay for a second. Baby. So I want to ask you after that when did you learn how to be good at sex? 'cause I feel like sometimes guys have sex, but they're not good at it at first. First couple of times is awkward. Yeah, it's a little bit it was a girl in high school that sort of shit that blew my mind like no way she knows this like what is going on and I can't I can't say she was from Wagner also too, but I can't wait to be there. You know who she was. We want to know what she taught you. She told me she was just said she was so advanced when it came to sex. She was like, I hate it from the back. I let me get on. She was just doing what she wanted. You didn't want to be the mother of my son since high school and the rest. That's when you got good. That's when Wagner taught you and then you took those skills and implemented that. I took those skills and she definitely gave me a foundation that I needed. Did you learn anything from porn? Like, you know, a lot of a 100%. A 100% porn you went to the U.S. porn to get some moves. And then he tried that shit when you were thinking, like, oh, that shit worked. And you just kept a couple moves in your awesome new and shit like that. Is there a point where men stop watching porn? I don't think so. That's not like something. But it's not like something like I'm not talking like, yo, I'm going to watch over them just saying like if you walk by and the nigga gonna watch it or you wanna cable when that shit happening gonna even watch it for a couple and I was like, oh well. Sometimes I love it. I'm not like no porn guy like that. I'm gonna go home and shit. I'm not gonna skip it if it works well and be like shit I but I'm gonna go home and make my own point. We gonna point it out. That's what I'm feeling. Yeah, it is crazy to see the evolution. Was there a time when you thought you and cam was never gonna be cool again? Or did you always know that at one time you would patch it up? Yeah, that's canvas, this can. Then I guess he feels the same way about me, so our relationship that we have between each other, nobody probably would ever understand and shit like that. And I'm cool with that. Yeah, it was a long time, though, and it was feeling like, how is this gonna still go too often normal? Well, we don't speak to each other or anything like that. And people take all that shit the wrong way, but it's what it is. You did it. I'm very appreciative of what Kim has done for me in my time in this career. Because without no Kim, it would be no me. That's whole hearted and shit like that. Did I fight my way to get where I'm at? Yes. But it would not be a fight if baby Bros and say come on, take this round. You did. Get out. Right. A 100% and be a did some incredible shit with just diplomat things shot to jewels or shelter Zeke and shit like that. Remember, we were just we were just kids. We didn't have nobody telling us what to do. We have no OGs over it. We just was teenagers that just bust out and did everything we wanted to do and did it our way, whether it was right or wrong and shit like that. And a lot of that may have caused a lot of confusion because we didn't know what we were doing so young. We were making shit loads of money and we were making music and those are the two things that we knew how to do and shit like that. You know what I mean? And I'm grateful shit we had cam as a shitload of money, dwells as well off freaky does good for itself. That's what it was all about. So the niggas won't be out here looking crazy or hurting or doing anything and shit. They work. Now, there was a rumor that the new album I saw hit make a post. It is called prime one 12. True or false? False. So why did you say that? Was he trying to make a joke? I don't know what he was trying to do. I said, probably. I don't know why he would do that. Can we go to school? Make sure it is too so Jeremiah is on the album to a dollar sign is on the table. Our girl tank is on the album. We have a fucking fire record. Bogies on that record also, but that's true. Fire. Shouts to tink. She definitely was supposed to shoot the video, hopefully in a couple weeks ago. Are you going to do it? I'm shooting in Miami. Okay. Who else is on the album? Benny the butchers on the album. Conway is on the album, fab is on the album. Pleasure Pete, not pleasure listen to me..

"Have some young artists that probably didn't put in a work anymore. But sometimes people have a single that's big and they start quick. It's quick to get jaded when you got one single and that should go on steam. That's crazy. But for the most artists that have been here and put some work in and now it may seem like they acting funny, you don't know what they want through to be able to act funny. Not saying that's a good way to go about it. But each person is different. I'm happy to be able to have a second career after doing shit that it has told you, like, giving people my ass to kiss 'cause I had it, and I was there. I should come back to bite you even harder 'cause niggas will let you kick them in your ass and they ask why you're going up. When you coming back down, please believe me, they gonna kick you in your ass with all the mics they can. But also sometimes when you going down, it could be going up. It happens like that person. A lot of the niggas that I may have not even though don't mean nothing to me. You did, but for them it meant more for them than it was for me 'cause they felt that it was maybe a stat that but I'm a hustler. I don't ever take it as nigga I'm going to get money regardless. Back then, did you ever have a lot of times when guys are starting out? They have a woman take care of them and they live in you. I had plenty of women to kill me. And I used plenty of women not to say that. It was time I was down on my luck and waited. I know how to get money. But getting close to a woman's heart, that was one of the things that I was good at when I was coming to my early teens, early 20s and shit like that, beginning of my career, shit like that when things were up and down and shit. I got a couple of tax returns like I need that. I'm going to bring this way. I'll bring it right back. Okay, what about this? Did you ever fuck with somebody that you would be embarrassed if anybody knew that you did back then? When you dealt with a couple of big girls. In a dark? At least she kept you a nigga gotta do what you gotta do to keep that parents up that drip book big girls always keep a job but he always got credit. You hurt? And I was younger sometimes the hustle don't go as is. And I think that a bounce back somehow and I heard big girls be having some fire pussy. Hey, they definitely got that. Okay. Okay. Definitely get caught with somebody leaving your room and they, you know, and guys, it's like, oh shit, she left your room. I see you. Me me. You know, like, you was trying to sneak. And the homie saw you on a walk out. Yeah. Definitely having a lot of times coming up. Oh, what about 'cause I figure a tour like that? I'm grown rapper since we've been tearing you think about it. It's a long time. 'cause I know I used to work. What about did you ever have a girl as somebody took her from you that night? She made candies to go through all that type of shit all the time. And it can be the reason they should go to him. That bitch was only getting next to me to get right before the game knows sometimes. That's crazy. But I learned that early though. But we never was you ever get ride by a girl? No, no, we wasn't with none of that type of shit. You know, you leave some shit in the room and you wake up like where's that? I never was into that. I always kept my belongers in the seat. I never was into that. I never fell asleep when I was younger and had been with a bitch in or not. You lucky 'cause I feel like everybody got one of the stories in the 90s. These niggas mean you, I don't do drugs and then I try to do weed and shit like that. I don't be out of pocket I didn't do no ease and none of that type. You should have been just tired and fell asleep. Respectfully, it was my family. In my 20s, I was a child, I wasn't going to sleep. And bitch she was getting it wasn't all you did. And if you were standing, you definitely couldn't get next to my drew. And if you were standing, you did think about Robin me and you seen all them blood members outside in front the whole time. Thank you. You wasn't trying this one alone. You didn't make sense. A hundred niggas here. I left a half a $1 million chain in the hotel room before. Wow. Did you get it back? No. Yes. No. No. No. In D.C., I never forget it. Wow. What? This is when the big the big diamond solitude changes out. Tennis joints. I got legendary jewelry. That shit was like really 400 piece some shit like that threesome. Wow. I left it on the I don't know you be on the bed. I think I had it on the bed and didn't realize that I left we halfway to New York. And I'm like, yo, with my chain that I call a hoax. Of course. Are you a recollection? Somebody. Somebody cry for like a week behind that like little speed housekeeper, right? Because when you check out who else goes into the room and you know how many times I've left my watch or one of my chains, more of my head handed it in, whoever she hated it for sure. I take the blanket off to make anything in the bed. Because I'm known for under the bed just in case you drop something. Even in the bathroom. And let me ask you this, let's just say you on a row when you were younger, you chick. And then let's just say later on, one of your boys ends up wife and her rep. Would you tell him? When I was in. We've done that also. And we've come to a conclusion that that's not the proper thing to do. You heard? As far as what I see yourself. Yeah, you did 'cause my experience niggas don't care about that shit. You heard niggas just I don't know what. You know what I'm saying? Nigga's not like, it's not like he gonna not fuck with her. We did. It's not like you did. Now you're just looking like he just hated you throwing it in his face. But you did. Versus just fuck her. Wife in is just a different commitment. By the time it's too late. You can't tell nobody who the wife who at all. Everybody got a pass. You can show them pull out an iPhone right now. Look, nigga, this was last night, nigga. And he gonna be like, all right. When you leave. He still. Yeah. You did? Yeah. A person's preference is a perfect preference, who a person want to be with us who a person that want to be with. That you dig, and if they want to be with each other ain't nothing gonna stop that in the world. And everybody has a past too. And sometimes she probably didn't even know that y'all was friends or that was a connection. But when you young it's an ego thing. Yes, people always put these things on certain things that really don't hold no merit with nothing. Niggas she was not.

"Could everything was twice. Exactly. It was like working from out of time. And bring them downtown is $20 for the Democrats. It's a different hood. We've always had friends. Guys will come from Harlem and from Brooklyn and other boroughs. Look in Chelsea because it was like working out of time. 100% talking about it. Yeah. People always tell me I'm trying to work. And get money. No, that shit. My man lived his family and I didn't. No, that's what I always said. My guys from The Bronx, they were selling the crack for two for 5. The same amount. My Friends, I'm talking about putting through law school. What's that money? I think it's a different perception. But it's a different perception because it's downtown, right? So they look at it differently. They charge you white people. Y'all gotta go up another. Exactly. And that's the client side in the Chelsea projects. And this is real New York talk right here. Because you had all the people at lunchtime I worked in all them office buildings walking all the way to the project and get some cocoa come get some crackers and then go back to work. Where's the first place you travel to on the road? As an artist, the first who plays me can want to remember that was your first two shows was D.C. and Chicago. D.C. it was peace to stuff lover and one other person, this was like how a homecoming 90 7 8. 98 how a homecoming right after that, we flew they flew us to Chicago. That's where it was daunting. Happy John monopoly. This is 98 so all these same niggas just before Kanye was in the car. They were all babies. I remember Darcy jumping on the hood of a bitch car 'cause she rolled over my feet. What? This is early. This is a teenage dawn C he was so dope. I won't forget that because of that moment with dawn seen shit like that always used to remember about that for years and shit like that, but those are the first two places me and Ken ever went off camp success was D.C. out of homecoming again. Chicago. How was it being in those different cities from New York? Everything was wild at that time because it was just everything was different. Every time we went to was different. This was talking different. It was the 90 niggas was moving different. It was a lot of hustlers around a lot of niggas getting money off of hustling. It just was a different feeling than right now. All this digital and these scams and all it's way different from where we grew up everything was. It's really real. If you said you had money, you had to show it. You heard it wasn't no hot and behind Instagram, nothing bro, you had to come to the club with that bag and it was only a few people coming to the club and really showing out back then. It wasn't looking like smoking mirrors where you got ten scammers in the club and it's looking like all these niggas is millionaires. You heard it was niggas getting money and if they was busting them bottles, that was a directional a pretty girls was going and it was no doubt about it. I was on christabel's $400 a bottle and mowat was $100 a month. What happened to kristal? It's gone. When they receptive races, what they receptive to y'all coming from New York to these other cities? First of all, as we get back to camp, cameras one of the biggest stars from the moment he came out. He was a multi platinum artist off top. He came out when Eminem and DMX came out, simultaneously and nori. Simultaneously at the same time, nori was one of the hardest niggas in New York, DMX was on super fire and cam came in on scotch. Everything he did up until the mid 2000s was a platinum or multi platinum records. He made you well. So, you know, history gets to get to be forgotten so fast because there's so many errors we pass, but it's never forget that wherever we went, we were platinum artists so we were back then you know a writer nigga had one pink star burst in my dressing room, like a writer named one of them. One of them should sing on our writer, we'd leave in here. He was a platinum artist from the moment we came in, so the hardest time we had was after the first thing we did the first toe we got on with Kansas on his deal was the puffy or what was it on my way to what the fuck was puffy tall? It was the only bad boy so ever. In 1998, daddy and the family. No, in 1998, the biggest. Of course. We had to open up for that tour. That was the time of my life but one of the brokers times in my life. So you gotta fake it. That was a good sore. We got on the road for 60 days. I'm used to hustling. I'm from the projects. I'm from the block. I know how to make money, every day I'm on the block. I can make money. Now it's like, yo, you're going on tour. You're opening up the puff diddy, bigger shit in the world, you're gonna go crazy. I can't let we go on tour. These niggas peel off $600 for me, $600 for him. Like, yo yo, that's your Padilla. Yeah. So I think he was a good deal. For 60 days. 68 puffy world tour 6 $100. Wait a minute. A day? No, but it's a whole entire day. $600. But you know Kim Kim's camp signed a deal as this. So he got some money and shit like that. But still in all, I don't feel good to get $600. Period, but I'm just saying for me is like, cam got the deal. He'd be like during this shit. And he's the rapper. Me, I'm like. And this was 60 days? And I got apartment back in the project. I got to pay rent for it. Shit like that. You could have made 600 back in the hood and a couple. I got there. We didn't even have shows at this point. They just put us right on a tour with diddy, bust around. They hit that stage. By the time we finished that talk, diddy put the whole choice to come out and watch our show in the beginning of the show because we were going so crazy on that tour. I left that tour with more than $600. Please believe you. Of course. That's what it was for. You learned the ropes quick and you watching what everybody got they wrote this one roadies with something like a rodeo on the tour and all you just watching niggas. So now niggas are scalping the own tickets. Diddy giving niggas VIP 'cause they gotta come back with this type of money for diddy. I'm like cam. Give me some tickets. What about that? We will open it X. It wasn't our tours. So they wasn't getting the time or whatever they did. At that point, is entertainment paying diddy in them for us to have that open slide. Okay, so keep in mind that on this Big E part of the biggie sign cam, let's not forget that. This is your day so we got on that tour because of biggie really. That's still biggie's artist when biggie just passed away. We got signed a few months after biggie passed away 'cause we saw on at the we love big pump. We love big pop up video with Kim and the locks in them and we told on yo, this is Kim, big say he won't give him a deal and uns like, yeah, big told me about duke, y'all come to the office on Monday and that's how I can got sign. So fast forward, we got on that tour because a big really interesting shit like that. But that chart showed us shortest life. We knew where we was going. You think artists had to spoil nowadays 'cause if you told the artist right now, a like, do people still pay to go on tours 'cause I remember that was a thing. Like if you wanted to use all of these things happen and you can't say, you.

She wants to be around it. I mean, that's just my opinion. So you think she would say, okay, but all right, you're giving Tristan advice. Here since I man, I really fucked up this time, Jimmy, you know, that's a capital. I need to know how can I get my woman back? What are some steps that you would tell somebody who really fucked up, had a baby by somebody else? How many times you got it back already? No, I was like she's not going to she's not going back. No, she said. Every time she was acting like she was like, I think he cheated before, but this is the first time he actually had a baby on her. That's kind of different. That's a baby. Listen. You're surprised. She is like a big soap opera. That's just like, oh, make believe damn it to me. It's like a judging her. Tristan pay your NBA player yoga millions of TV. I've given a fuck about none of that shit. You gotta think too one day to that kid is gonna grow up and realize how they came into the world. All these kids, and it's gonna be right there on camera for them. How many times must we talk about how homicide baby Jesus? I'm a side baby. Yeah. My mother was not married to my father. He had a whole different wife and I mean, you know, he had a wife and then 16 days after I was born, my sister was born. Shot a baby from saw baby number two. Cider baby. I mean, eventually my mother and his wife, you know, had a kumbaya moment. And I was raised, you know, with my siblings, and I have a childhood with my siblings from his wife. But I did not have a childhood with my siblings from second baby mama because she wasn't with the shits. She argued again. I mean it's reality. I was born out of, you know, a side relationship, I'm a side baby. I have no. You know, I'm 42 years old. I've come to the realization that, you know, I was born inside baby. And I have a very healthy and positive relationship with all of my siblings and with my father and his wife. You know, she's the mom that only mom I have now. But does it affect how you feel about men? It did. Yeah. For sure. And not in a negative way. I just have a better understanding of how men work and more like their thought process when it comes to monogamy and relationships. At least you didn't get swallowed. I mean. At least you know what it's like. My mom made it. That's awesome. It was something. Oh my God. Speaking of that baby growing up and realizing the world that he was born into, at this point, it depends on what the parents do from here on out. Right, right? Because. We just talk about feeling that money just like we take a connection that people who are rich and have money don't go through all kinds of things. They do. They're going to go, you're going to go through the same shit any other kid go through. But they're going to be able to like that different. But people don't think that I was trying to get my the other set of siblings because okay, after my sister, there's two more siblings from baby mama number two. And they did not grow up with the connection with me and my other siblings and that side of the family. They felt disconnected. It wasn't until we were adults that we created our own relationships. So they don't have childhood memories with the whole family on Christmas, my grandmother's birthday, all of these wonderful things that I have. And you know, not that I feel bad 'cause it wasn't my fault, but it's like, damn, I could have been them. You know, my mom could have been the OutKast and I wouldn't have all these memories and all of this great childhood that I had grown up. I haven't spent one Christmas time with my father side of one nothing. Wow. You did. I got a whole Spanish family and I got last time I see my pops is when I was younger was like 13 and then when I seen them again, he was like 26 and that was the same year they passed away. And we were starting to do music. And I was the I got to connect back with my grandma who still alive right now like 94, but even now we don't have a love of the deaf but we don't have the biggest relationship like I had with my grandmother. Puerto Rican Dominican? Puerto Rico. Are you Puerto Rican? So how do you think that affected you? As a man, you know, not really having your dad. I don't know. I just was a different kid. Every day that I didn't see my dad, I just loved him more. I wasn't like these other kids. Like, fuck my dad, my dad wasn't around. My father had 9 kids and didn't make me love him any less, you know that he was dropping babies off with all his wives. I mean, I just didn't get to see him. But the few times that I did get to see him, he was like the fly is dude in the whole world of me. It was like you did. It was like me being in heaven every time I got to be with him. I mean, the memory stuck with me for dear life, but that didn't. What did your mom used to say to you about him though? 'cause I think that Matt is too from mom's album. My mom was always picked him up. She was telling me all about that. That's probably where help though. Or he was always fly all that type of shit. It was like she never shunned him away she never told him he couldn't come see me. He knew all my family houses with everybody. He knew what my whole life it wasn't like my dad had a real and addiction. He was his demons haunting him that bad from a young age when you have a heroin addiction and he had three brothers, they all doubted the same thing due to the hurricane addiction and shit like that. So these are the things that a lot of kids parents are coming up in the 80s. The 80s was wicked. Downplay your dad. Because my mom and my dad were like barley and Clyde. My mom had me when she was 16. I was 17. She was still in high school. And they were. By the way, we are going to have your mom and lip service. I hope you're okay with school. She's gonna go crazy. You're all ready for it. That is happening. What is your mom tell you about sex when you eat? Everything about sex. My first condoms, shit like that, my mom told me how to kiss when I was younger. What does she tell you to do? She told me how the tongue kiss when I was younger. Like, what's the instructions? It was an instruction she showed me with her mouth like she. She kissed you? It's my mother. No, I'm just happy. My parents kissed me barely kiss me on the cheek. So she showed me her tongue kiss when I was younger. Remember my mom's 17. She's a baby. Look at all the babies that's having been look how they act with their babies is like they have a little sister or a little brother you more than they have. Did you think kissing was nasty at first? 'cause the first time somebody had a tongue to me, I thought it was so disgusting. The first time I took his girl, yeah. I was like, oh, you did a phase me. The first time my tongue is the girl I was born. I was so pissed off. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. It was how slapping somebody kisses you too, right? 'cause that could be a turn off. I think that's what they say. Interesting, 'cause I, nobody taught me anything about it, and I didn't know what it was. And this guy, he was my little boyfriend and we should just kiss on the cheek. And then one day he just stuck his tongue in my mouth and I didn't know what it was or what was happening and I was like, oh my God, what is fucking doing? I needed a little heads up. This sucks that young and shit like that. So wait, so what about the first time you ever had sex? Her name was baby..

"Elaine so what did he sell? He sold a shitload of NFTs, the person who really, really, really killed this game lately is take off. He distraught and a tea called space. Something apes. I don't know how many MC got but that he got some M and ms and I ain't talking about the candy he really came in and Snoop Dogg is very big in the space as far as the metaverse. So I was an influencer and shit like that. So if you get with what snoop is doing on top of the ten, you could probably make some money 'cause he's really out there like that. All right, so now let's get back to lip service. That was interesting conversation, right? Now we want to do some cafe rules with you. You know, you have the capitol coin, but let's do some rules. So you being a capital that you are, we want to talk about some things happening in the world, and we want to know how you would handle that situation. What would you advise, okay? Okay. All right, so now let's just say you come to a quick during sex. A guy comes too quickly during sex. Now what happens after that? Is he supposed to take care of her and make sure she's good? Or is that just is what it is? At this point, if a guy can't figure out how to prolong him coming too fast, I don't think you really gonna get too much out of the rest of that. You know, they mean shit happens are you? I'm sure you should slip a couple of times and they're like, but I mean, I'm gonna say it again if I got to figure out how to prolong that nut even when he feels like it's so many things you could do to like wait, how can you prolong. Start thinking of different things? Pull out do something different, get back into your chain's position. You gotta dig like act like you change the position. You might need ten seconds. I gotta get out of that thing. What you did? Were you back up a little bit? You dig? I just need to take a pussy. You gotta come, you did. Or you'd be looking like a poop. Do you ever think about something else? 'cause I know they always say, I think about baseball, or I think about, I want them. Why would I be in the midst of making love and trying to think about baseball? 'cause you don't want to think about what I got in front of me, baseball and I definitely heard that, though, for men, they say that sometimes they have to kind of think of something else so that way they won't come fast. Because if they obviously still looking at the pussy, it's going to make them come. But I guess that's not everybody. He looks uncomfortable. Baseball is the same. Anxiety. As you for tips to give other people. There's a lot of youngins in the game. And they might be talking in the studio and they like, yo, I had a terrible situation. All right, capo rules, now let's talk about GIF giving, 'cause I had the day's just passed. Right. So now let's say a guy gets his woman birkin, gets her a bunch of gifts, a car. And she gets him a sweater from Zara. Honestly. Oh. Yeah. And he's a large. Social media. That's very thoughtless. She wasn't thinking about him at all. She don't know her name. Then while I was about to close and she just grabbed something to him. And she left the tag on it with the sale ticket. If you gave you a gift with no thought, that's the kind of hard to swallow. Especially if you smell some real money on it, but like I was saying before when I when I give a gift, I give it just I give it, that's what I want to do. It's not like I'm expecting anything in return although that's proper on certain days and things like that, but for the most part, I think that guys go into situations knowing that not something we don't get the best gifts anyway. That's terrible. I've been a father for Father's Day don't mean shit don't get shit and I'm a real father. Like a daddy, like I really take care of my kids. But just to show what men don't really get. Well, my guy could always expect a good gift for Father's Day. Valentine's Day and Christmas. That's nice. I'm just saying you asked the question. I give gifts 'cause I wanna give kids dig, that's how I was really supposed to be a shit like that. And a lot of guys like you, you know, guys who are used to being the giver. You give them gifts and they're like, oh, you ain't really have to do that. You know, so it makes you feel like they not as grateful because they just don't need it. Nah, people are grateful for the gifts that I give. No, I mean, when you give a guy a man a gift. You give me some shit I wanted. Don't be stupid hype. Last night. I haven't walk pajamas in a long time. But night for me, I decided to stay home for the whole weekend on new year's. I was just tired of partying. I don't want to no book is another, so I stayed home and my mom's a number of me some pajamas for Christmas. I did the family. Thank you. What's my mom's house chilled out? Let's just stay in the crib in the chilled up. Okay. I party all the time. It was a good change of peace. All right, now let me ask you this. When you break up with somebody, do they get to leave with everything that you gave them? So we've seen certain situations where there's a breakup, the woman leaves and she got to leave all the shoes and turn it to the first thing. I don't know what the situation calls for sometimes the situation might be, I don't know how to put it, but for me, if I gave you something during our relationship that is yours, I don't expect it back in return when I leave or you leave or when we break up that's yours. That's wholeheartedly yours and the type of person I am, if we did break up, we gonna make. I'm still gonna make sure you good while you're on your own until you be able to handle whatever it is. You have to handle it, but that's just me and shit like that. I'm not caught up into certain things. Certain guys are spiteful. And they use that as something for them to I think that's a weak trait of a man in the midst of whatever they're going through with a woman to ask for any of the belong is that you gave them. And now what? You're going to wear that shit? You want to give it to the next bitch in the next bitch is going to take some secondhand shift from your old bitch? Watch it. That's a weak bitch. That means you got a man when we trace dealing with a weak bitch now. Who takes anything? You dig. Okay, what about a relevant? Let's say a guy proposes. He gives her a ring and then they don't end up getting married. Should she give the ring back? In some states it's a law that she has to. It depends on when she got there and if it was Christmas, Valentine's Day or her birthday. Whatever it is is cool. Keep it pawn that shit. Get you some money. And we even, right? You have money. And if you think about a guy who manages money about money, it's about the frame of mind. You heard? That's how I think. That's just who I am. It's nothing that I give to. What is he cheated on him? And then nothing. There's nothing that I give to a lady that I want back. Okay. You be surprised how many men for sure when the relationship also sometimes use that as a way to keep in contact with you if you break up. 'cause I definitely had a guy asked for like the jewelry he gave me back when he broke up. But it was his way of harassing me. And so I thought I should out the window. I was like, come get it. And then when he came, I do everything out the window, and I was like, now you don't have no reason to hit me no more. Yeah. Don't call me no more, just go. Somebody gets this weird thing. That's weird shit. Niggas got a fucked up with thinking when it comes to women. They wasn't raised in the household where they seen a man take care of their mother a lot of these situations still from that and shit like that. You know, we come up in a wicked era and shit like that. But some of us were taught certain things like the dig I was taught certain morals and shit like that coming up even though I came up in a wicked household office. I had to go to church. I had to do these, so these certain things didn't respect that we had for women in my house..

"Let's add this lip service I'm Angela Ye, I'm Gigi McGuire. I'm Stephanie Santiago. I'm avian. Jim Jones. And I'm Jim. Finally made it. Yeah, y'all take it easy on me. No, you know what? Jim Jones did lift service when I worked as serious so long ago when Leah from double-x-l. She was the music editor. Damn. Yeah, it was so long. It's the only time you ever did it. And yeah, that's all that it was super long ago. But I remember I was excited. I was like, Jim Jones is doing lip service. Because you know, you know, he don't be trying to give up all the goods like that. So we're gonna take it easy on you though. Please. He's already good 'cause we were just talking about the first time we've ever been drunk 'cause he doesn't drink, really. No. And so I was talking about the first time I was ever drunk, I was in Staten Island and, you know, it was a ray Kwan's birthday. And I had Long Island iced teas. I didn't even know what it was. That's a terrible thing to be drinking. And I remember I was sitting down and I didn't realize how drunk I was until I tried to stand up. At the time, I was one of my Friends from college, and she was in Benny boom. And they had to drive me back to Jersey City and I was sleep in the back of the car and then I had to crawl up the stairs and I slept in the bathroom on the floor next to the toilet. Was like the first slicker that we used to experiment. It was like mad dog 2020. And I see in fiscal because they were so so cheap at the time. My guy, Cisco, they used to say that was liquid crack. Remember that. I've seen people lose their religion on Cisco. That shit is crazy. Mama yo yo said it and it's we had dinner and now we take a Cisco. We hit the snow. It does shit is not to shit the drink. One man, one little bottle of Cisco used to have niggas going really acting retarded. That shit is like full local. How niggas be going? The fall logo was bad. Remember, the Cisco bottle was like this big. I remember it was two sizes and this one and then it had to turn away. And I've tasted it when I was a little young when I probably shouldn't have been, but it was therapy. Remember I had to remember that. Before hypnotic but the four locals were dangerous. I know a couple people who ended up in the hospital after two or three. That was like the Cisco a few people that ended up in the hospital for drinking about old Cisco. And honestly, for local sound dangerous for locals. Four times crazy. And then if you drink it with something else, like if you had a four local or two for locals and some Hennessey forget about it. Yeah. Well, first of all, Jim, let's talk about why you're here. You've been putting out music like nonstop. Yes. You know? It always work it. And it would still be quality 'cause it's hard for people to put out that much content and for it to be quality. People don't live a life like I do. And I say it like that but music revolves around life for a lot of artisan. I got to live a lot of it, so I got to talk about a lot of different things. That's what keeps me motivated keeps me going. It's life. And entrepreneurship, because I think that helps you because you have so many other things going on. That's the hustle. The hustle can never stop no matter what. The music goes up and down, but the hustle can never stop. For example, what are you smoking right now? Saucy. Exactly. Yes, I mean, you gotta keep it moving. This game is about money, so I hope everybody on top of that business. That's what the most important thing is to be on top of your business. And everybody's trying to find out about crypto and NFTs and you was on that early. Yes, I was to be able to get in touch with that early but you had some change right in the beginning of the pandemic right before the pandemic I started to get into it and end up selling like one of my picture of my chain of NFT. Now looking back to where it started to it is and I was absolutely retarded. So I urge everybody who's trying to make a couple of dollars to get into the cryptocurrency space and get into the NFT space cryptocurrency because money as we know it is going to be no more in the years to come and everything will be digital and everything will be crypto. So, you know, I want people to be smart about the decisions they make when they come to money and financial literacy. And you need to learn a little bit about that. Don't get caught slipping. What about all the money under our mattresses and stuff? Well, so this is where crypto saw cryptocurrency works and how it was so important and this is why they say the unbanked. So I was person I got ten, $20,000 in the house and stuffed up somewhere. It's not accumulating. No interest is just sitting there and rotting. Now you can take that same ten, $20,000 and put it into cryptocurrency something like Bitcoin or Ethereum. And that money alone without you even touching the do anything will increase by 7% every year just by sitting at it now. If you put your money in the bank or you put $10,000 in a bank, you probably make $10 on that $10,000 in a year. So now, we're just making 7% on your $10,000. You made a couple dollars on that. But the trick is now to learn how to diversify and get into the actual space where you can start to buy different cryptos by different entities to diversify your portfolio in order to enhance your chances at a generational wealth or just get into a bag. Any coin you recommend in investing? Listen, I'm not no funny. I have my own coin has a few utilities as a dope coin on track. I'm a con has acquainted. He has the a coin. Cool. As well. But you know what I like about that and one thing I will say that I know for sure when it comes to stocks and crypto is buy when it's on the dip. You know what I'm saying? And if you started something financial, you could call it dipset and help people buy or buy. You buy it, but if it dips by more. Right. Don't get scared of the dip because that's just life life has this ups and downs and the dip always comes back stronger. So everybody watch Bitcoin go from. 50 down to like 30 now it's like back up to 50s, supposed to be like a 100,000 about a summertime and then like a million by next year. So there's gonna keep going up and down and fluctuating so like you said if you get it on a dip you get more for your dollar 'cause when it goes up you gonna make more for your dollar so. Now with the NFT that you sold. So every time somebody sells it, you get a percentage. So let's talk about that. So people understand how NFTs work. NFT is enough fungible talking, which actually really means nothing. It was just a funky word that the nerves had made. It actually was put in the dictionary a couple months ago. So it really didn't mean shit. They just put their own little dick. So, but for me, I was calling it digital memorabilia. I took a picture of my chain and sold it for two weeks at the time and shit was like $400, like $800 or sold it for. And now every time the owner of that NFT sells it to the next person I get a percentage like 20% every time I shit is sold for whatever price they decide to sell it. And so I say digital all right, so what's great about that is, you know how sometimes an artist will their work is not worth anything and then all of a sudden it shoots up, but they get nothing from it. So with this, every time somebody says that the original owner and whoever sells it, you guys get a percentage. So you continue to make money off of something. So if it ends up being worth a whole lot of money, you still get paid. It's done off a small contract or small car track as a digital contract that goes on for the duration of eternity. So whatever you have in that small contract for your NFT, which is sets up the rules and shit like that, that's how I was going to go. You ain't got to worry about it. It's going to come back to you in that fashion every time. And you could essentially set up anything really as an NFL. You didn't enter a 1 million %. NFT for a person to be actual guests here and things like that one day or to be a person watching your shows. You can do anything. I've seen a girl so her music video as an NFT on a platform and like a clip of it. And it sold for like 20, 30, $40,000..

"The story of the Jonestown massacre is about much more than Jim Jones. We've been fighting to tell it for decades. By Lee fondas, and Margo hall, von der Kowski is a New York based playwright, screenwriter, author and director, and is the author of the book, stories from Jonestown. Hall is an award winning actor, director, activist, educator, and newly appointed artistic director of the Lorraine hansberry theater. She recently appeared in the hit film turned television series, blindspotting. 43 years ago, on November 18th, 1978, 918 Americans died in a remote jungle in Guiana South America. One was a U.S. congressman, three were journalists and 914 were residents of the people's temple agricultural mission, known as Jonestown. About 80 members of people's temple who were living in Guiana survive that day, hundreds of members living in San Francisco and Los Angeles did too. And the chaos of the aftermath, this event would be characterized as a mass suicide. We still here echoes of this whenever we hear the phrase they drank the Kool-Aid. But the idea that they all drank the Kool-Aid is a myth, not everyone died willingly that day. Some were injected with cyanide involuntarily, including hundreds of children and senior citizens. Also a myth is that Jim Jones remains the only representation of people's temple, and Jonestown, whose story is worth telling. This is far from true. We know because we have been fighting to tell the broader story for more than two decades. Time after time, we see the people of Jonestown described as blind followers and Jim Jones as the cult leader who ordered them to die. In this narrative, Jones is all powerful the people are robbed of personal agency and the group becomes a blip in history, lumped in with other cults. Everything from heaven's gate to nexium. Until we open up this narrative, we not only glorify the abuser we miss the opportunity to truly understand the meaning of Jonestown. In 2000, David dower, the artistic director of Z space studio in San Francisco, commissioned us to write a play about people's temple. He saw our Berkeley repertory theater production of the Laramie project, a play co written by Lee based on interviews with the people of the town of Laramie Wyoming in the aftermath of the beating and death of gay university of Wyoming student, Matthew shepherd. His thought was, let's tell the story of Jonestown in the same style, using the words of the people who lived it. For 5 years, we traveled the country interviewing the survivors of Jonestown. It took a long time.

"So i was like what like something fun that i can do for my husband's birthday and i was like oh we're going to have scrappy do a cameo too funny. Okay says 'cause so but i will say scrappy. I believe is like not one hundred percent correct here. Because like i do think that because you're pregnant and like y'all have had kids you know back to back to back us kind of need to get over yourself and i knew scrappy finally put out a song that hit so he like is right. I'm in the club grinding pushing my song and she's like no but i need you home because i got high risk pregnancy and i can't carry kids so that's kind like the issue and i do think this crappy is ignoring probably home in that way. I see okay. okay. So maybe i won't be booking a scrappy cameo but yeah okay. It's a keeping him and business. You're like i'll book another one l. Mainly he was. I think like shirtless in his closet was wild. Along was the cameo. I so i did it. Only three days are like one and then secondly it was like thirty. Forty-five second one. Minnows fifty bucks. It wasn't like the molson one hundred now so can go about looking at me. Yeah it was. It's funny because he couldn't say my husband's name. My husband's name is car thick. So i wrote out you know cer and then like thick like And he goes. I'm gonna call you make. He could not say his name and it was so funny. I do love that when when someone gives you a nickname because they'd rather not watch your neethling. This is more than they make. It seem like they're doing it because your friends now you're like his name. It's okay yeah antlers day like i joke about this when we're like i'm like annoyed at my husband i'd be like i'm gonna call you and he's like shut. It was like i think the best thing to like. Best use of my fifty bucks. I will say what a guy. But yeah i think this we.

That comes with them. It's just like so good and they have their own language ago. Just like make a word and you're like what is going on. Sounds fascinating because like. I couldn't tell right if i'd only characters characters so i've one more question and i don't think specifically bambi question but you mentioned that a couple of people were linked with love and hip hop new york. Is there a lot of crossover between the love and hip hop franchises. yes and no. So like i think they'll like the producers. We'll kind of pick. I think who they lake. Sandy and randy's again he has been around since.

It's a modified fig leaf or fig-leaf where they're standing with their hands in front of the lower abdomen. Saurabh watches and, and that's, that's That's deferential Behavior. Yes, I yeah. It still makes you look kind of beta. I wouldn't necessarily do that here. You know, maybe if you're standing next to a president or the young Pope or the Dali Lama. Yeah. But I wouldn't necessarily do that here. But another thing that Jim Jim Jones always does he he loves the color yellow and blue but he's never worn a jacket. He always has to walk out the jacket. All right, look, come on. Look, he's playing around with that tube. Yeah, yeah, he's answering the freaking thing. So this is it, he's even calm. So he's got it all wound up, you know, so you know like we all did when we were at whatever some some event in high school or middle school and you know, he's got his in finger and finger inserted into the end of it off, you know, which is, you know, a little metaphorical as well. But he's, you know, get a jacket on. He he wants to stand out a lot like a lot like different from home. Little figures. Um um kyrsten Sinema is like this, she always wants to wear a color that separate from the other people in the room and she always wears something. That's usually relatively wage stands out, fashion-wise to stands out. Color-wise Jim. Jordan does it to, to a lesser degree and he always wears the same thing cuz he's never worn a jacket. He stands out and, and he I think he believes he looks more muscular without the jacket on. Like like a lot of men do if you have a tighter shirt on, if you happen to work out. But he also wants to look like a working man, cuz I'm from work in Ohio. I'm from that. That gerrymandered districts. That looks like, you know, a castrated Dragon. But, you know, he has to look like a working man. So he was always got the Jack. I'm so yeah, that's an extension of body language Behavior, but he's always hitting yellow yellow.

Nothing what else is there because they win reggae tone for two albums and he was just doing stuff i mean. That's the way i feel about fat. Joe i don't just fat. Joe have solid twenty when i when i look at a lot of these verses like it really is calling into question to me like my my hip hop knowledge or whatever because i use it. I can't i can't think of a a solid twenty really for either of them. And i think the only difference between i want to say the only difference. 'cause 'cause bays is clearly more lyrical but being vases so gangster. He don't make radio songs. He'll make clyde songs he just he makes shit that you listen to in your car or you know at home if you in a move or whatever he don't make club hits in nori does have enough personnel Way more personality. I think nobody will win verses because especially when. You're doing it on camera. I you gotta have the personality to to pull it off. Like the the jada verses fab joint think zeta hey away more personality. Ain't he got stupid drunk like halfway through so it was used as room for him because he was having fun. And it was funny shit but Ambae's never going to do that. He just don't. It might be back to the masculinity he just don't have that i gonna put on a show. I don't know. I never been to a beans show. Maybe he does put on a show on stage. I just don't see like nori went in like that whole interview on the breakfast club of him. I bateman beans into this battle is hilarious. Mb's would never respond in a way that would match the showmanship that right right. Yeah i don't think so either. I think i think the thing for shows like i think it's when people start picking versus. I know that they not picking their equal right like is somebody being like. Oh i should. I'm good enough as this person. There's always somebody who's like super delusional. Like i should go up against this person. I know you. You have three radio zones right and i hasn't been on the radio since i was a child like no man. No you should go up against them at all or they dropped. They didn't drive three number one songs in the year. Life for the last ten years. Don't not going up against them and knock it off Yeah but like you said the same way like he's not really with all the raw stuff. He just either bikes. Put up the bag. I'll show up. They might like more more or less. Somebody did that the other day was telling me. Oh the i guess it's a concert. There's some type of tour speaking uh styles but like there's a locks in dips tour happening and they're like other town. You should come see and that was in my head like would we rather see the lots versus say in verses. Do we still want to see the dips at versus g unit. Message does that make sense man.

There's tragedy resulted in the greatest single loss of human civilian life in a deliberate act until the events of september eleventh. Two thousand one following the mass murder suicide of all of his congregation jones was found dead at the stage of the central pavilion. He was resting on a pillow near his desk chair with a gunshot wound to his right temple which was again. The corners decided they was consistent suicide. The autopsy on jones buddy confirmed he died by suicide. The barbiturate pinto barbara tall was also found in his body. At a level that would have been lethal. Were it not for his physiological tolerance he had been taking barbiturates for quite some time and they found a lethal amount in his body. That would've killed an ordinary person. But he had built up such a physiological tolerance that he was able to pink and function once the fbi and the investigators the gaon police and things began to descend on the area. Jones's body was cremated and his ashes were scattered in the atlantic ocean.

"Delegation members that That things were not were not what they seemed on the surface it. This was indeed a prison so they began once. Had kind of gotten this information They began interviewing other temple members asking if they wanted to leave in several more. You know finally admitted that they did and of course jones is over there freaking out of his congregation is is wanting to leave and then the house of cards is starting to come down all around him and he sees the writing on the wall again. It is not going to last. this is the end. The end is coming when jones was confirmed about the note. He pleaded with the congressman and his delegation to leave the camp and to just quote let us be claiming that people lie people lie meaning meaning ghazni. the guy who had Passed the known. Ghazni son was there in everything and jones kind of made the argument that you know. If it's so bad here why is he letting his son stay to kind of again through off the idea that you know things really were at bad in there. Were actually people who wanted to leave and didn't want to stay. Which of course we know incense jones and he really took this as a personal attack in a personal affront. Much like you know. Other co-leaders do The the worst thing you can possibly do is expressed a desire to leave however in kind of in the background while all of this is going on. And you know the congressman and everybody was really distracted. Trying to get to the bottom of this and find out you know who wanted to leave in what what what was actually happening in what was going on. I started to kind of become a little bit. Chaotic and people started to scream and cry. And beg to to to leave once they. You know once that i Impetus was knocked down in everyone. The floodgates opened and everyone started to express these desires to to leave in a. They didn't they didn't want us to here. They were here against their will and they were essentially being held prisoner while all this was going on in this this chaotic nature jones's thugs. His guards began to prepare for more drastic measures which would probably on the orders Of jones himself so he began to you know again. The house of cards is coming down and things are starting to really get bad and so jones may have ordered his guards to go grab their weapons and prepare for armed altercation if it came down to that so a lot of the armed guards began to make You know take position in a in a perimeter around the pavilion and carrying holding machine guns. This again really began to set the tone of of what was about to happen. Jones was about know. Joan was prepared to take this all the way to the end ryan's of course left in the afternoon. November eighteenth after temple member. Don sly attacked the congressman with a knife of the attack was thwarted by ryan security team. So they actually attempted to assassinate congressman. Leo ryan And once that happened that was it it it was it was done. The congressman is delegation team. Took off with the up. Levers five or six Temple members who who wanted to leave and they were. They were going to close the hammer. the probably in the military perhaps So once this happened jones became very very erratic very very It became obvious that this that this charade could not go on any longer. Ryan delegation managed to take on fifteen temple members who had expressed a wish to leave and jones made no further attempt to prevent their departure that time they made it all the way to the airstrip before things became much worse in his desperation. Johnson armed guards to the airstrip to prevent the congressman and more importantly the members from leaving which led to the port guy touma airstrip shootings at the end of the ryan's delegation boarded two planes at the port ketumile airstrip. Outside of the compound. Jones's armed guards called. The red brigade arrived on a tractor and trailer and began shooting at them. When this vehicle. I approached. The gunman were laying down in the back hiding from view. So it's kind of like a small little tractor trailer. Look like the bed of a pickup and they were lying down flat hiding in the back from from the delegation itself. And when they got there they kind of pulled alongside in in blocked access to the airplane and one once they parked the temple or the guards who were in the back link down with the machine guns. They got up and started shooting. The gunman killed congressman ryan in four others. One of us supposed defectors. Larry layton drew up and began firing on members of the party from inside the other plane so he was kind of a plant. He pretended that he wanted to leave. But he was actually given a gun and was told to when the time is right to start shooting from the plane so what what. The delegation thought was a member who wanted leave and that they were actually trying to save was actually another guard nbc cayman. Bob brown was able to capture footage of the first few seconds of the shooting as he lay on the ground behind a tire and he was killed in that position which again was marked by abrupt. End that few. And you see that. That tape on on youtube In the cameras kind of position behind one of the airplane tires and just like that it goes to static five people were killed on the trip that day surviving the attack where feature congresswoman jackie speier. Which was who was a ryan staff member. Richard dwyer flick. Steve son tim. Vitamin ron cavers. Charles krause and several defecting temple members again. This was this more to the point of no return. They had killed the united states congressman and it was it was going to and once news of this got out they would probably send the military in the united states would send the military down to to bring back the people who wanted to leave and kind of initiate a a rescue mission mass murder suicide in jonestown jones's prior statements that hostile forces would convert captured children to fascism would leave many members who strongly believed in the temples leftist ideology to view as opposed suicide as valid. All of his talk about the outside world coming into take them now had real validity and he kind of spun this this congressman visit to as as a means for them to check them out in investigating. You know To to come and get them in there on their way. Now it's inevitable we. We are going to be shut down. They're going to kill us all with that. Reasoning jones and several members argued that the group should commit revolutionary suicide by drinking cyanide laced grape flavored flavor aid along with sedative so to kind of curtail them being captured and being told and you know they were there because they're going to torture our children they're gonna torture our seniors. They're going to torture us and kill us. And he didn't want any of that so he began kind of spinning this. This idea that you know. They're they're they're on their way they're gonna come get us. You know we're not going to give them the satisfaction we're not gonna give them the the The ability to control when we die. We're going to have control over our own destiny in this type of talking again. He was on the loudspeaker constantly preaching not preaching but constantly sending this message that you know we need to be in control. We need to take control back. This is the only way that we can we. Can you know we can win. Jones had taken large shipments of cyanide into jonestown for several years prior to november nine hundred. Seventy eight having obtained a jeweler's license would allow him to purchase the compound in bulk to purportedly clean gold so he had planned this for several years. This wasn't this wasn't a spontaneous act. It wasn't revolutionary. It was premeditated murder. He had the cyanide and he began ordering years ago so he was kind of hoarding in keeping swan site for for this particular day. So he you know he had been planning has for quite some time on november. Eighteenth nineteen seventy nine nine hundred and nine inhabitants jonestown. Two hundred six of whom were children died of apparent cyanide poisoning mostly in and around the central pavilion children were given the flavor by their parents and then the adult began to drink. Families were told a lie down together in many did photos of the aftermath showed so many bodies so much death is a very very hard case to research a very very hard case to discuss the pictures.

"Then Senator Barack Obama's Convention speech and just really being moved by it. I am a woman of mixed race and I saw someone who looked like me who was talking about how patriotism doesn't have to be red or blue that unites us is more than what separates us and that not everything. Have to be so divisive and that's how I always felt and having traveled the world with my family and experiencing different cultures. I just felt like you know, we live in this country that is so full of opportunity and so incredible and on Lee in our country could the story of Barack Obama And it was right for the presidency, I think really exist. And so in 2007 I and I know this is sounds While there maybe is like your, um, 26 year old 27 year old stories. But I was out at a bar with some friends. Itwas you know, $20 all you can drink and I was enjoying as a college student. My $20 all I could drink. And a bunch of other kids walked in in Obama shirts and one of my girlfriend says, You know, we have to go say something to them and went over and started talking them. And this is again the tale of military service and how there is an underlying You know fraternity in it. And so one of the guys that we were talking to was a helicopter machinists and had been in Baghdad at the same time that I was He says. You know, if you want to come be a part of this on me a resume and we'll make it happen, and I sent my resume on Monday. I started. I actually interviewed with the headquarters campaign manager. I think on Tuesday and I started working in the mail room that night. And I was working for Punjab. I was in college. Good time. And now I was volunteering 15 to 20 hours a week and then 15 to 20 hours A week with the 30 led to me giving up my full time job husband staying in college And at that point I was a senior runs is Junior when I started Fast forward to printing the Democratic nomination and then being elected president. I'm in my senior year in college, and it's three days before the election and the chief operating officer of the campaign, who was a big, burly man, he was like. Would have been a good sergeant Major, if that makes him. Yeah, and he calls me into his office. And he says, if we win this thing you're on the first flight out. And I looked at him and I'm thinking I'm still in college. How'd it happen? This work logistically what even happens And I just said, Okay. And I think you know with the military prepares you for is just to say yes. Under jump in an opportunity and to not ask too many questions, and I didn't have too many questions, and we won and I got on this explains life out to D C and went right to the transition office. And eventually you got that led to me working for the transition for another 75 days. And then about a week before the inauguration that, um Director of management and administration calls me into his office. He lays out the blueprints to the West Wing, and I've never even to that point had never even been to the White House. Had walked around it and I've been on the lips and I remember thinking and Willis is on the southern part of the White House and I thought always look so far away. I just didn't have any real understanding of what took place inside and he lays out the blueprints to the West Wing. Any points out the Oval Office and he points out, You know, the vice president's office and director of National security. When the first Can you fit in here and run the West Wing. And like you said, Okay, and that's what I did. I reported. My first day of work was, you know the day after the inauguration after going to, um, several of the inaugural balls, and I was exhausted and terrified and excited, all, um in the same set of feelings, but it was really Just the most Amazing time of my life to have access into be a former Junior enlisted service member now sitting in where you know where it happened. The room where it happens like the Hamilton phrase, and I got to see so many cool things. And so meet so many amazing people. And one of I have a number of full circle moment. But one of them Woz the first time that I met Jim Jones, who was the national security advisor. But in my time as a PFC serving and headed for Germany, he was the supreme Allied commander of U. S forces in Europe. The very top of the food chain. Now is the guy that I see every morning who asks about my mom and brings me no trinkets from his travels across the globe, and it's just so different. It was like I I can't believe this. Not me. That is awesome. Then all I can say is you got your $20 worth of drinks for sure I did. That's the best. That's the best damn happy hour you ever went to? I mean that 20 bucks changed your life. Yeah, it really did. And you know, I think it's Think still jumping on opportunities as they present themselves. And sometimes in our world. It's just about the number of times that you're able to say. Okay, I can do that for me. It also says never pass up an opportunity to go to happy hour. Yeah, maybe maybe this. Well, maybe that's maybe that's the answer. You just never know what can happen. Tell me one thing that you Might share with your friends about President Obama that you know from being right there because, you know, I mean, I know you'd met maybe a couple times through the campaign or been in the same room with them. But when you're assigned to that seat like You're suddenly one of the faces he sees every day. So you get a chance to Going to see behind the curtain a lot because your desk is behind the damn curtain. That's right. That's right. I think one of the things that I took away and I You know, traveled with the president, especially once I became his director of veterans with big words and military families that reach we met with so many injured service members.
