Confronting hate can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle, especially when it's coming from familiar faces right here in Staten Island. The venom spewed my way could shatter spirits, but instead, it's the very thing that lights my fire. With every spiteful word, I'm fueled, reassured that my voice is resounding loud and clear. So, turn up the volume and prepare to join in on conversations that are as unfiltered as they come, ranging from the thrills and spills of entrepreneurship to the harsh realities of racial inequality and the justice system's darker corners. From Trippie Treats to candid prison tales, we go all-in, celebrating the unsung heroes and the gritty streets that have shaped us.
Our guests and I aren't just here to share stories; we're here to challenge perspectives and ignite change. We navigate through the complexities of maintaining momentum in a world where social media backlash is the norm, and recognize the balancing act between resilience and vulnerability. This isn't just talk; it's a journey where we embrace the chaos, seek balance, and acknowledge the power of remaining true to what ignites our passion. Strap in for a rollercoaster of experiences, as we cover everything from the rise of my clothing line, Elliott Carterr's Denim and Co, to the stirring personal reflections on surviving the legal system.
But it's not all heavy lifting; within these conversations, there's room for light-hearted anecdotes, a nod to the everyday heroes, and an appreciation for the foundational cities that continue to inspire. We dissect the complexities of navigating life post-incarceration, discuss the evolving snitching culture, and even touch on the shifting political landscape. Whether it's the poignant reflections on losing loved ones or the strategic moves in the business game, this episode leaves no stone unturned. So here's to the fighters, the believers, and everyone in between – this is your invitation to an unapologetically real discussion that's all about growing through what we go through.

Like I try to go to Facebook for promotion you know what I'm saying To promote each episode, to promote each upcoming episode, and shit like that, and I get mad hate from my own city, bro. It's crazy. Like the hate that I get from Staten Island is Like what kind of hate, Bro? Hate.
Speaker 3:Like, give me an example.
Speaker 2:I posted a episode I think it was episode 15 and amongst me posting that episode, I'm looking at my name on Facebook and I see niggas wishing me death, niggas telling niggas saying, like oh, elliot Carter, is that freak nigga? I, you know what I'm saying? Shit like that. Like just a lot of hate, like overwhelming hate, hate that would put the average nigga in the dirt, like. But I'm not.

Speaker 2:It's all hate from my city People I know and people that I've interacted with personally.
Speaker 4:I got something to say about that. I want to say like you're doing a good job, that's all I see it, the hardest part of when you get that kind of hate is that sometimes, man, let's be real as human beings we you know what I'm saying you all want to have that sense of camaraderie, love and respect. But when you're doing what the fuck you're supposed to do in today's age in America, black man, and all that on your shoulder, family business man, listen, you got to take that hate like damn, I'm on the right track, Because when niggas are saying, because when niggas are saying nothing and you getting crickets, that's what come with it, Boy, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself. So that's that's what it be, man.
Speaker 5:That's what it really going to be Also they paying attention, you know For sure. So they watching, they responding, for me it's kind of like you took the time out to hate me. Took the time out your day to hate me.
Speaker 2:Wow, I mean, people take the time out their day to find my image, to post my image along with some hateful captions Like you know, oh, fuck this nigga I had. I got bitches on here on Facebook posting oh, I blocked him a long time ago because he's on dust. I such and such, he's laced Bro.

That fucking makes something magical happen, cause when you got that kind of energy and you can transform it, that's what it is. That's the key. Yeah, I got white people that hate me just to be hating me. I'm like I don't understand. You make way more than me. You have a barn, you have this. This is a problem. I don't understand what's the problem. The problem is, you see, see me coming. You understand what my objective is, yeah, and that this is my cruise, my Legion. So that's what it is. Listen, man, that's what it is.
Speaker 5:It's like they seeing some motion bro. They see you moving, they see you doing shit. So they don't want to see that. They don't want to see you up, they want to see you fell. They want to see you down and you doing successful things. People going, hey, don't you, especially from your hometown?

Yeah, for sure, so that's how it be when they feel like they know you and you doing better than them, as a half half of the people is definitely going to hate on you.

Don't look back, cuz you gonna turn the saw.
Speaker 2:I mean nice, you know that's wisdom that's wisdom damn that's definitely well, man, after people, man, what you saying about your gesture?
Speaker 3:oh damn, I forgot story. You're telling a story oh, I so.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like, I came home in 2017 and it's been challenging coming home, like you know I'm saying, just merging back into society, but, um, I was able to find my way and I started a company called trippy NYC in 2019, and I would say that trippy NYC was the foundation for everything that I'm doing today, because from trippy NYC, I started selling treats. You know, I'm saying I started selling something called trippy treats and that's what those was like infused edible and and things that had nature, brownies and stuff like that cereal treats and then I progressed from cereal treats to elegant dinners. I started doing like pineapple bowls and lobster tails and you know I'm saying chicken and wild foods and things like that, things that I could increase the charge of. From trippy NYC, I created baked ricotta. Baked ricotta is the high-end, luxurious cannabis and views meals from baked ricotta. I created Elliot Carter's denim and coal. That's my colon line. That's what you see me with right here filming. Okay, the shirt too, not this one, but the sweater that's out there yeah, the sweaters, the top to this from Elliot Carter's denim and coal.
Speaker 2:I created trippy streams, which is a cable company essentially, but it's just online developed, so I could I sell you. I sell you cable, just like spectrum of Verizon. You know I'm saying, but I sell you local packages. So let's say you're Colombian, I could sell you a Colombian package, you could watch your news at home and shit. Right then your crib. You feel me? And that's called trippy streams. From trippy streams, I created trippy trips, which is Uber, just trippy trips with my brain, I got I got yeah, I got niggas in a round that's why
Speaker 5:they hate it is what, for me, you're doing too much what you doing, you doing so much tonight doing, they got to catch up with you eat yeah, not for real.
Speaker 4:Honey, honey like that because came out the corner story through the glass and was eating a banana like no, I don't like that shit so from from trippy trips I created, live from the gutter.
Speaker 2:And then live from the gutter was what I found my biggest passion, because I feel like doing all of that stuff. I was searching, I was searching for me, you know I'm saying and I found myself with the podcast, because the podcast is at every endeavor that I ever started. The podcast is definitely what I hold dearest to me, like the podcast is what I love the most, is what I'm most passionate about. It's your baby, it's my baby. It makes me happy. You know. I'm saying like I love coming on this podcast and putting all my energy and my effort into this podcast and that's what makes me happy. But I get so distracted when I'm focused on my professionalism and I log into Facebook to promote what I have going on in my life and I see nothing but negative, hateful energy coming towards me. Like that shit gets me so distracted that I blindside and I start shooting at the whole island, bro, like I start shooting at anybody and everybody that has anything to say about me.
Speaker 4:Like yeah, but now you, just, you just like right now, you just like uh what's that, dude?
Speaker 3:he accumulate. He's accumulating enemies. Not yet that too, yes, but it's serious.
Speaker 4:But you know you like I don't know man, what was that corny ass um? No rock that shit with rock played in the superhero you played in the DC drink. Who was he? Was the character supposed to be? I know he talked about anyway, rock did a horrible job at that.
Speaker 5:I mean rock the wrestler.
Speaker 4:Yeah right, blaine Johnson. He played a character, I think, for DC or Marvel the black Adam. Black Adam. Now you just on some rogue black Adam shit. Like you have this power. You can really see it that way and that's how sometimes I view life in certain things. Of course, you're not gonna levitate and float through the air and you might not be the bus rocks per se, but there's something like that mentally.
Speaker 4:And so the black Adam's biggest issue is a nigga couldn't understand when, just like yo, my nigga, listen, calm down for a second, just peep this shit. Ain't nobody fucking with you. Hold on, I think you done, did some shit. You know shows nigga, some shit. What you can't do, nobody fucking with you. Calm down for a second, hold on, just look at this shit, for you know what we're gonna do. Because if you keep proving that you can trippy this, trippy, this trippy, do that day LLC S corp, you can maneuver like that, then what are you doing? Stop, just stop for a second. Hold on, sit with something, peep the game and let that shit fuel you.
Speaker 4:All the greats have hate. All the greats have heat. Yeah, all the greats have hate. So when a nigga hate on me, I'm loving that cracker hate on me the most. I'd be like, yes, you see me, I'm sure, like a fucking superhero, awesome, awesome, whole other other shit. Because I'd be like there's a part, is a dark side of me that kind of have to level and there's a side of me that wants peace and growth for my family.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I ain't a fan 100% I understand that dilemma.
Speaker 3:Excuse me, what's the percentage of hate to the percentage that's not hate? Is it more hate and less love, more love than less hate? Is it 50, 50, 60, 40? But we already talking about the hate.
Speaker 2:I want to say, I want to say realistically, it's like 70, 30. 70, hate, 30 love.
Speaker 3:That's almost 60, 40. So we going to try to balance that shit out. Yeah, it's going to get there, bro.
Speaker 2:That's I want to say. That's my challenge, bro, like that's what I struggle with, because I would see I would be in the middle of, like promoting this episode. Like, after we done chopped and screwed it, I'm about to put out episode 17, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, whatever, you know what I'm saying. I would see, like this girl, this girl on Facebook, taylor Nicole. She commented, she commented on some shit and she was like, oh, he blocked me. What did I do? I don't know why he blocked me. Like, I blocked her because she's an annoying bitch and she be saying stupid shit on social media. And I don't want to be scrolling down my feed and I see these dumb ass fucking comments like retarded shit. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to see that shit.
Speaker 4:You feel me On another level. On another level, man, you want to keep. Listen. I'm telling you right now you're smart as fuck, but what you're doing is you're going in circles, man. You driving yourself crazy. You're going in circles, bro. You're the mad dog chasing his tail.
Speaker 3:Think about you, bro, the dog at a middle of the street that be chasing his tail Dog kid. When people think about you, bro Wilder, right now.
Speaker 5:If you already know the percentage, you know the majority of it is not love Like just loud alone you paying.
Speaker 3:Bro, everybody don't like you bro.
Speaker 5:Yeah, they're not supposed to like you. For sure, everybody don't like me. You wasn't here to be loved.
Speaker 3:Everybody don't like me.
Speaker 5:You wasn't here to be loved, so stop paying up. Yeah, stay focused on what you got to do and keep moving forward.
Speaker 2:I think this might be the greatest advice that I've been giving. You know what I'm saying Because I'm around a lot of niggas. That's a lot like myself. You know what I'm saying, Like, oh, that nigga's hating, no, no.
Speaker 1:Fuck that nigga's bitch. No, no, no. You know what I'm saying, like nah fuck that nigga's bitch bro.
Speaker 2:Like nah, go do something. You know what I'm saying. Like go drill. You know what I'm saying. Like I'm around a lot of niggas like that. I'm not really around. That's why I love Connecticut, bro. Like the energy out here is different, the vibe out here is different. Like New York is just full of hate, bro.
Speaker 1:Like niggas just hating you for real.
Speaker 2:Like yo man, you trying to go play ball, you trying to do something with yourself, bro. Nah, bro, let's go smoke this blunt, let's go.
Speaker 3:You know what I'm saying, Dude. You said that man. Excuse me, but listen, bro. If we was talking about this earlier, you got to know your lane. It's so much influence out here. Niggas want to be in the streets. The streets is not it, bro. I'm trying to tell you, Some people got to learn the hard way. They got to touch the stove and they got to be hot. The streets is not it, Do you? And I hope you got and I hope the hood really love you. They support you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I got a lot of love too, bro.
Speaker 3:You feel me? Yeah, yeah, let's talk about the love. Fuck the hate. I get a lot of love too, because the love always going over the power of hate.
Speaker 2:That's where I'll be getting lost, because I'll be driving myself crazy. Like you said, bro, I'll stop reading the comments.
Speaker 5:Like seriously yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey man, you bugging. I got to stop, bro, man.
Speaker 3:That's why I'm got no social media. I just don't got time, bro, All this shit.
Speaker 2:Love ahead you know why it's so hard too Because, like amongst me, going through this last controversial situation with the island, I did an episode prior to that, episode 16. That's my most downloaded episode by far by the island. Nah, it's not about the island at all, but during my controversy with the island, I published this episode, and because it was published during that controversy, I believe that it just got downloaded so much Like because the last episode is crazy right here.
Speaker 4:So you know what it is the enforcer, right then. And there you know. You know You're just beating a dead horse man. Let's do all your episodes. See what I'm saying? That's the difference. I listen to all your episodes.
Speaker 4:Every single one so right now you're beating a dead horse. My nigga, you know you got the sauce. You're going to do it. Or do you want to be like me, 44 and still running around chasing LOCs and S-Corps and doing the doobop? Yeah, you're going to get through, but how? You keep repeating. If you stop for a second and look at the screen, look at your life being, see what's going on, you're going to realize that you're sometimes repeating the same chapters. Okay, just they look a little different, but it's the same shit. You need to stop and analyze why, so you can go into the next chapter, not repeat it Right. Right now you're repeating bro.
Speaker 3:So when you excuse me to feed off of you, riz, so when you see that next chapter, either it's going to feel like you've been here before, but if you did, you're going to already be above that.
Speaker 2:You be prepared for it, prepared for that, you all feel like I've been here, but we straight, you feel me. Yeah, I know how to move in this situation now. All right, yeah, now see, yeah, y'all talking, man, y'all talking. I appreciate the wisdom Because you gotta understand I'd be I'd be a maneuvering and figuring shit out myself. You know what I'm saying? No guidance, just figuring shit out myself with these things. Don't overthink, though.
Speaker 3:That's the well. Everybody I keep hearing say I've been overthinking, I've been overthinking I've also I too be overthinking some shit too. Yeah, just you gotta. Just you gotta learn how to.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I think I think for overthinking, because I'm definitely the master at that shit, I'll overthink myself.
Speaker 5:Sometimes, it's hard to help what you think about it Shit calculated, though you feel me Like. I'll play chess for real if for real. Right, right, chess and life in the game. Yeah, I'll play for real, right.
Speaker 3:Y'all be like I gotta be ahead of the game.
Speaker 5:That's the period Facts. Gotta be ahead of the game.
Speaker 4:Not too far ahead. And also too no, not too far ahead too, because if you're too far ahead you're lost. You're lost when you zoom back. You know what some shit is, whatever. And also too I think too is very important If you get yourself jammed up, you know how to play calm and cool and calculate. Sometimes you can catch a fucking winner. He bopped you and then nigga got you kind of on one knee because he was not so much as an anticipating the quick, swift and calculated comeback from the one knee back up into position where you maybe swiped him a little bit and then had to back up like yo, what the fuck? And we're not talking physical, we're talking business, we're talking marketing, we're talking getting more views, making more money in building bottom line. And when you're doing that, sometimes that creates opportunity, because once he backs up, you see the forward mobility. Sometimes you just got leaving nigga right there. You can't go in.
Speaker 4:You see that he moved out the way and now you move forward. Now, when he's behind you trying to catch up homeboys, too late, it's too late, and that's what we're talking about. Marty, go ahead, that's what you need to be at, man. Fuck that shit. Man 2024,. Let's go 100, 100, 100.
Speaker 2:I like that. I like that 2024.

Speaker 2:Yeah, randy, talk to me.
Speaker 5:You was telling me you was telling me.
Speaker 4:He said you told me something about uh, no, no, I just want to say this real quick, man, I want to say this real quick I feel blessed and, like I'm really around some brothers I really admire, I think that's one thing Um us, as black men, we need to stick together more because we need to understand our power.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 4:And so so. So I'm blessed. Right now I'm around brothers I really admire and I mean, you know man for real, for real. So that's why I feel blessed for that. That's blessings on that.
Speaker 2:Today was a good day. This is the last day of the year to to, to, to work.
Speaker 3:It's that energy. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, happy New Year.
Speaker 5:Happy New Year. You already know, you know talk to me.
Speaker 2:Talk to me about? Um. All right, first of all, new York. I want you to know something If you cross that state line, nigga, there is no grand jury in the state of Connecticut. I was just informed this today. They will lock you up on a felony charge and hold you on that felony charge.
Speaker 4:There will be no grand jury knowing Providing if you cannot make bond, no bond appointed to you.
Speaker 2:No indictment process or anything like that. It's just going to be you got that charge, you're fighting that charge. No grand jury and a lot of lawyers in New York. They'll tell you straight up if you're, if you're from Connecticut or if you're moving to Connecticut or anything. They'll tell you straight up. Oh yeah, I don't practice in Connecticut. I don't. We don't do law in Connecticut. The reason they don't do law in Connecticut is because Connecticut is the first state in America out of the 13 original colonies that started practicing law. Law was created in Connecticut. It's fucked up over here, randy, talk to me, talk to me?
Speaker 3:What are laws? And women?
Speaker 2:Randy, I'll tell you right now.
Speaker 4:I'm not going to say where it was at per se and I'm not saying that Connecticut was one of the first that definitely was amongst the top three, because they're original colonizing. Hey, part of this bullshit Connecticut. Part of.
Speaker 3:Connecticut Virginia.
Speaker 4:That's why I, in my personal opinion, it was no problem in letting letting blacks be quote unquote free, because the fuckery is in the fine print.
Speaker 1:They, they developed that.
Speaker 4:We're not going to whoop you and hang you, like them savage white guys down. We're just going to catch you. No, no, come up here. You're going to work, you're going to make wages, you're going to pay taxes, you're going to be productive, you're going to do what you're told. You're going to get 30 years out of here. You are free. Sign right here. That's how.
Speaker 3:Connecticut that's how Connecticut works. That's how Connecticut works. That's how it works.
Speaker 2:Yep, it's all in a paperwork, facts, that's that.
Speaker 4:That's, that's my personal opinion, surrounded by some things I've researched myself, and just I keep that up.
Speaker 5:So basically, what you're saying is Connecticut is a state that you don't need a grand jury to convict.
Speaker 2:There's no grand jury in Connecticut at all.
Speaker 4:Let's see, are there grand juries? There's just no grand jury.
Speaker 1:The grand jury is the grand jury, the grand jury, all right.
Speaker 2:So let's say I have a felony gun charge, right, and there's not enough evidence to indict me. A grand jury could turn a grand jury. 12 people could turn that over right there, like. They present that evidence to the grand jury before it gets to the judge, so it goes to the grand jury first. The grand jury decides if it's going to be a case or not. So you're telling me, connecticut?
Speaker 5:doesn't have a grand jury.
Speaker 2:Connecticut doesn't have that grand jury process, so so why do they have jury duty? Because trial?
Speaker 5:because people go to trial but they're not going for those the trial is saying they need to go to the grand jury.
Speaker 2:No, the grand New York, the grand jury would take place before the case even really starts. Because, let's say, they don't indict you at the grand jury. Let's say, you have a felony charge, they don't indict you at the grand jury, the case is over, it's dismissed, right there, boom, you go back home. You're not fighting a charge, no more. What's the like? What's the chances of that? Very hot, it happens a lot. Yeah, they going home. That that yeah.
Speaker 2:It happens a lot In New York, where you know it happens a lot, where you go to the grand jury. A lot of cases a lot of cases get turned over right at the grand jury, right? They don't even make it to a charge because it gets turned over right at the grand jury. Is that more?
Speaker 3:money. Is that like a trial? Is that more money? No, no.
Speaker 2:It's more like a trial of the people. Yeah, exactly this is working out. This is why it's like we're seeing if we have a case or not. We're seeing if we want to go through with, if we want to bring this to trial. That's what grand jury is for. It's like we're going to predict the outcome of this case right now, before it even happens, and if we don't have enough evidence, we're just going to let it loose, right here All right, I'll say this and I want to go into great detail.
Speaker 4:Going into great detail, I can only talk for me and I don't really have all the stories because this is old shit.
Speaker 2:Going into as much detail as you can to let the people know, because they have no idea.
Speaker 4:When I first well, when I first found out I'm a lifelong Connecticut resident, right and just maneuvering through New Haven, through the Elm City, so I mean that's just the bottom line and I found myself in the system and you know, some bundles was found and I happened to be around and here we are to tussle and shoes. The bond is the bond can be held based on they can research the police department already hands with the police report, your financial report or a research in how and who you're connected to who your uncles may be, who your aunts may be, your grandmothers and they base those bonds based off of that. So they make them in Connecticut started designing making bonds the way to keep you locked up. So now you're fighting the case without a grand jury, no matter what the evidence may be.
Speaker 5:You're fighting the case if you can't make bond, you're locked up, you're fighting like that and they your bond so high, not a bondsman.
Speaker 4:like you need some property and how many niggas know people to?
Speaker 1:put up property, no property.
Speaker 4:And this is how it was going period. And so I fought a case for 18 months for a bundle. So there's a few bundles I got released. They even tried to play me and put me across the street at High Court in New Haven. Across the street I'm like why am I going to street in High Court and they go over some bundles and they try to scare me with that? Yo, you know the max is 20 and you really can't get a fucking appeal on drugs. I don't care what you say, I didn't do it, so let's go.
Speaker 3:Yo, let me ask you a question. What is it Don't God, is it got it? Kind of got? You was kept using the word bonds. What do you know about us and our social or whatever? Have the money we, we?
Speaker 4:I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 3:I'm talking about it. I've heard about it.
Speaker 4:Yes.
Speaker 3:How the money that we working for for the white man we are already, as our money is the extent that's our money that they pay us with. So I know you smart on them type of things, so I want to know I don't know too much.
Speaker 4:I got to do more research on that. I have to too but right now it's about me just kind of cleaning up and moving forward with what existently I have, with the knowledge that I have, and being like enough's enough. So I know that, getting trapped in that circle, yeah, you chasing these niggas and you doing your regular degla, but your regular degla got you chasing the circle. Same thing with me. I supposed to have been in a certain spot right now, but I sit back and I look at my newborn and I look at and I look at what I've created and how I got here. I just like you know what? Yeah, I'm going in. Yeah, I'm going in. It's not about that, it's about what you're going to do.
Speaker 5:Oh God, sometimes it's like underlined just racism on some different level and like a class ceiling placed over your head, because most people and the majority of people in the system is minorities and it's harder for minorities to succeed in life and you get locked up and you get released and you got to fight this case and now you got to do this and that just like a dollar.
Speaker 2:Even coming home with a felony is hard.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's hard, it's hard. So it's like a never ending cycle back and forth and it's a glass ceiling just to keep a brother down. Certain people like you we was talking about hate. Certain people just hate you based on how you look, where you from, how you talk, how you dress. You don't even know you. They want you to be beneath them so they could look up. So it's a lot that's not being said or seen. Everything is not going to be in front of you. It's a lot, but it's a lot. It's a lot that they don't want you to know. Yeah, for sure, but there's the reason why they don't have a grand jury. It's a business too. Longer you enjow, the more money they make.
Speaker 3:Absolutely, they're a graph of two, yeah, yeah, you know, y'all got me thinking why you don't connect the kid.
Speaker 2:Have a grand jury. What was done, though, bro? This is my first time even acknowledging the fact that a grand jury doesn't exist in a state. I'm thinking that there's grand juries everywhere you go. Got to watch more law or order, man, bro. I want you to notice Law and order is based in New York, so there's a grand jury law and order yeah.
Speaker 4:Dundun do-do. That's how we really have the personal grudges be crossing that line, that's how that should be like that Exactly. They beat the grand jury and they skate out. Also, they got the money. They flex.
Speaker 5:I feel like if they don't have a grand jury. You could get arrested and be held for a long time if you can't have bond, that's the game.
Speaker 2:So it's a business. It's just a whole. Yeah, it's a profitable business. That's what you're saying, so you can be innocent as fuck and be held and get-. Fighting the case for 50 years and you're innocent as fuck. This governor just but.
Speaker 4:I don't have the money to bond out Exactly this multi-millionaire governor or at least 100 multi-millionaire governor I want to say that's right now running the state. When I put that out there, he's shut down a lot of the jails, saying the population has shrunk and whatever have you. So he closed up some of the smaller, mediocre jails. I know this shit because I've been in the system and I've been around. So but man, I kid you not, bro, it's like yo. I sit back and I see this shit and I say what's the new hustle, what's the new scheme? I'd be worried about all that shit from my peoples because it's coming, because they're going to organize and do something, and you just got to be prepared. That's all I'd be at.
Speaker 3:The new scheme is reserving your resources. Stop being greedy. And you got to learn how to do with less than what you got, because it's going to be a time where if Motherfuck, excuse me it's going to be a time when they switch that money over and they tell your ass that you got to take that mark or that chip to go buy something, and you're going to see how many y'all stand tall or how many y'all got. Y'all got resources. Y'all water, your granola, your tuna, fish, your paper, your lighters, yeah, yeah, your tuna tree.
Speaker 2:Oh, your hermetically sealed items in your fucking cabin. Whatever, oh god, you better be ready before you see
Speaker 4:I don't know how to take somebody else's Right. You better be professional. You can eat one peanut.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you're going to have to take just take from the right people, though you heard Coralitions, yeah coalitions are going to be formed.
Speaker 4:Coralitions are going to be formed. It's going to be real.
Speaker 2:We'll have stop and shopping bradlies and whatever the fuck, all of those places are going to be the first place.
Speaker 5:Survival to fitness man, animal, dog, I'm not robbing none of my people.
Speaker 3:But if you come to my property trying to rob me, it's lit for you, yeah. Don't come to my house, trying to think you're going to rob me because it ain't going to turn out good for you. Trying to tell you better go rob the store, I'm not even robbing like I'm not robbing like bally's or none of them. I'm robbing like Walmart Macy's. We're going to take your money. All y'all other people that like corporate shit taking your shit.
Speaker 3:I ain't fucking with no, no stores in the heart and Chinese life. One of them are peoples. Let me just fuck with me the Dominican, the Spanish, the Jamaicans, some of them.
Speaker 4:they fuck with me. This is how I started feeling, though. This is how I started feeling and this is why I love, and me and O had this conversation about you, like you're already, why you call yourself the nerd nigga of the hood, and it's like it's real. This is the essence I picked up, and once I started putting things in perspective like that for myself, I started understanding how I've existed and gotten to the point where I know so much and seen so much.
Speaker 4:When you play the back and you're not really the the favorite or light of any situation, you're just necessarily tolerated. Some people may see some good in you and so you're okay to hang around. It's different from being the one who's always on front, because all eyes are on you, all eyes on you. You can disappear into nothingness and maneuver and see every day. Got your question right. I knew beefs that started over, niggas who thought that nigga took his mother fucking bundle nigger. And it was that nigga and I saw it all play out and I sat on the porch and all I did was build my bicycle wheels.

Speaker 2:dorm. Is it a? It's a dormitory. It's a cooking dormitory.
Speaker 4:You ever heard of a cooking dormitory? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what all the cooks, all you ever got work in the kitchen. Everybody in that dorm cook. Yeah, bottom line, nah, nah.
Speaker 2:So that's not a cooking dormitory. So dormitories have a mess hall. The mess hall always has a house that houses all of the mess hall employees, the mess hall staff. That would be, like you know what I'm saying, the mess hall dorm.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:But a cooking facility is a facility that has a stove in each dorm and each Okay okay In each housing facility.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. So we had stoves in our shit. You know what I'm saying. We had stoves, we had microwaves and we had beds, we had cubes. So there was 20, 40, 60. I want to say it was like 80 people a dorm Because there was 20 people, 40, 40, 40, 40. No, it was 20 in this row. Okay, 20 in this row, okay, 20 in the back row. But the back row had bunk beds, okay, so that's 80 altogether. You feel me? Yeah, so there's 80 people, I want to say in the dorms. And then they got the day room, the bathroom, and it's free movement up until a certain point, probably like 9 o'clock, 11 o'clock or something like that. Then it's lights off and you got to be in your cube. You know what I'm saying. Then you got to be in your cube till like 7 o'clock in the morning or whatever the case may be. But shit go down.
Speaker 3:It could be like. I know Yo Peace to St Lies man from Brooklyn man. He got a lot of frequent stories. Oh where, yeah, I want to put you on.
Speaker 2:Shout out my nigga Rallo. I think my nigga Rallo. He just came home. You know what I'm saying, but um yeah, like Yo how we feel about Rallo Rallo fish.
Speaker 3:you or he not a fishery, oh you talking about?
Speaker 2:I'm talking about what?
Speaker 3:you talking about?
Speaker 2:I'm talking about Rallo from Franklin.
Speaker 3:That's different from the. What about Rallo?
Speaker 2:That's different from Rallo in the entertainment industry.
Speaker 3:Okay, we don't got to talk about it.
Speaker 2:But the Rallo from the entertainment industry. I fuck with some.
Speaker 3:He told her not, if you want, that type of time?
Speaker 2:I am want that type of time and, um, do I feel like he told I would not be able to answer that question right now because I don't have 100% of the facts, but from From what I see from the niggas around me and the niggas in the field around me, no, what do you feel?
Speaker 3:I don't feel nothing. I just seen an interview with him talking to his boy and his boy asked him yo why you, you know, and he was like yo, but I had to spend it this type of way. He's like Billboards, you know, we don't do that to them people. He said you could have why you even tell them anything, said keep your mouth, yo. So I'm just asking.
Speaker 2:But I was fucking with Rallo. I didn't see that interview.
Speaker 3:I take everything for face value, bro, yeah, for sure, and feel me, if I hear something, I got a ticket in consideration.
Speaker 2:But what if you hear something that's false? I said I got to take it into consideration.
Speaker 3:I am moving on it. Okay, I got to take it into consideration. Okay, absolutely, so I'm doing research. Yeah, like if a nigga tell me right now that a nigga tell him, I can't believe it.
Speaker 2:Unless he provides paperwork.
Speaker 3:Some shit you know, so you keep hearing the same shit Over and over, over and over From different circles.
Speaker 4:Shit is so real with me and authentically Like for me. All I know is Connecticut right, and so I know the Elm City side of things right, the shoreline and, um, for me shit is so real when I got my paperwork? Still, I think I can find it in the basement. I think I know what general area is that? The stacks of manila envelopes, because you know me, when you fight in your case and you do what you're trying to do, all that, you all and your when in case settle and you and you, you know you copped under this and you got to do the five for this. For that you got to be able to fight certain things. Connecticut is grimy, bro, it is. Connecticut is grimy like to the point you could fight a case and then they try to get you out on.
Speaker 4:They'll try to get you on a special parole in with certain yeah, yeah, yeah so you can get back, but if you're not, if you're not in tune with how to fight appropriately, appropriately, you can get yourself jammed up and know your rights, because, as a black man, they try to play you like you're stupid. I can't.
Speaker 1:I can't tell you how I keep you in job.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I can't tell you I can't tell you how many times, listen. I came home off of that pound and, uh, my po Was so fucking pissed that I got the 250 almost instantaneously. He was like who told you you can drive? I said who told you I couldn't? What's 250, man? Oh, the f 250s.
Speaker 3:Uh, okay, okay, Okay Okay.
Speaker 4:Okay, okay, okay, okay, so, um, and so he's like yo, I don't fuck you and I'm like what are?
Speaker 3:you got license. I got license, registration I'm good, do you want?
Speaker 4:a copy Right right.
Speaker 3:And he's like, he's like right, yeah, yeah, I'll take a copy. It's oh okay.
Speaker 4:You officially, and so I gave it to him, gave him a copy right in there.
Speaker 1:I already had it waiting for him gave me a copy envelope, jump back in the truck.
Speaker 4:You got my number, call me if you need anything, all right, and I pulled off and that was before I got the fucking truck tatted. Yeah, I like you and I was before I got the truck tatted like, so that means your company logo on the shit. Why I let him do him.
Speaker 3:I think you heard what you said he ain't like you, he ain't like you. See how he moved. He ain't moved aggressively. Yeah, he moved like.
Speaker 2:I told you Because he had to answer to him.
Speaker 3:Of course, of course, of course, randy, different, but of course, but you had to answer to him.
Speaker 4:Of course, of course, of course, but he was different special parole is different, that's way different.
Speaker 1:It's way more harsher.
Speaker 2:I know what special parole is. They give special Spidey gang members.
Speaker 4:Guys are inside or fighting it now because Connecticut used it as such a lame Lame in turn to get you in the after effect. Yeah, you may not be able to get you where we want you Okay upfront but we look at your back and but we get you in the back, that's that glass ceiling was next to my cousin special.
Speaker 3:He had 10 years, he did eight. He had 20 years, he did eight, he finished up. The corner happened luck without luck they do home wrestlers. Special parole out rain.
Speaker 4:Yeah, they do, they do that. They do that now because the books are cooked. You got motherfuckers working. Listen, you think it's good right now? Listen, don't let these guys fool you. Don't let these guys fool you. I'm not gonna say too much, but don't let these guys fool you.
Speaker 4:If you think, being a, you know, special parole officer, probation, um, being um, shit, I can't even go left. Being some of these local police officers nowadays, bro, is different now, because you'll have to get exposed and you'll lose everything. You should be exposed. For what? For what they're doing. If you're doing something underhanded You're not supposed to be doing, you'll be exposed, okay, and you will lose everything. The laws have changed right, right, right. So now it's a different approach, and so the old guard might have an issue with that. But they're fading out Facts, and so now these people are stuck with the harsh reality. This is how the game is played, so they're making adjustments. In that adjustments, you can find voids to slip through cracks and do x, y, z. I'm not gonna go further into that, but that's just how I see things.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's good information. Oh, yeah, that's definitely valuable information that you could use. You know, I'm saying if you're passing through the state of Connecticut or anything like that. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3:Yo, I don't want to get locked up, no way. But hey, if god forbid, I'm not gonna get locked up, but I'm just saying I don't. It's too much other shit you get locked up.

There's not many niggas Walking around the hood doing reports. You know what I'm saying. Like niggas is gonna laugh at you for that. You know I'm saying. I come out.
Speaker 2:I come out with my camera, I come out with my camera. You know I'm saying and I'll be doing my shit. A lot of niggas was making fun of me when I first started this shit. Can I say something? Give me some.
Speaker 3:Some constructive criticism. Absolutely, you go too hard on people. Some time you got it. Why you think that? No, no, listen, like randy said, I know you have 15 episodes I listen to. Like three or four of them you heard, and the episodes that I heard you them been like you know what the fuck these people? Because you ain't like to review. But listen, you know how you saying but listen, now you giving your feedback. Yeah, you're gonna get feedback back. Yeah, so you got to be prepared for what you say. Elliot, you feel what I'm saying? Because you said you was talking about somebody and you ain't like something the service or whatever and you was like you know what Fuck them? Uh-huh, I'm not saying that you ain't got the right to your opinion, but it's how you say things. Yeah, you got a bunch of people listening. Somebody might just take that a little bit disrespectful, you feel me for sure that comes with With the platform with the platform Uh-huh.
Speaker 3:I'm just telling you, just just be careful, be mindful.
Speaker 2:That's so mindful. Yeah, for sure I could take that. I could absolutely take that.
Speaker 4:so I definitely want to take the time off for a hot second, so it was a I want to address on. Like you said, you named at least 12 different, whether llcs or corporations or escorts, that you that you switched around and played around with, yeah for sure, and your pursuit of you making money and in your passion, right. So I ask you, how did you learn that? How did you learn the intricate details that ends and outs? You said not, not every, not every brother's understanding. Um, you know, making sure, you on the con for Connecticut, you on the concord, you know, just your, your llc ain't just recognized federally, it's recognized state and so you register with the concord and and so forth or so on. So how did you understand all that and how did you were able to make that transition from the city to here?
Speaker 2:so Throughout my professional career and pursuing being a creative, I was blessed with Always being side by side With someone that has dominated the field in their respect. So when I first started to make noise with trippy and uh, just a trippy brand in general I was introduced well, not introduced, but you know, somebody uh caught wind of what I was doing and they? Um, they took heed to what I was doing and they? Um started to invest in me and started to To show me the ropes. And then eventually, that person got locked up and, uh, I fell out with them and I met somebody else that essentially replaced them and continued to show me Different aspects of another business.
Speaker 2:But also, while going through those transitions with those two people who I'm not going to name, I also worked closely with Joe Parker from reflex radio and um, during season one of live from the gutter radio, or a lot from the gutter podcast with Joe Parker. I want to say that's why I picked up everything from podcasting. So I learned about the mixes, I learned about the process of podcasting, I learned about, you know, the microphones and you know just the door program and everything. And, um, you know, being able to work with Joe Parker closely was uh a blessing, and being able to establish live from the gutter radio. So I want to say Throughout my journey I've been blessed with the opportunity to work closely with uh great entrepreneurs that have been Very open to sharing their wisdom with me and I'm a sponge. So every single thing that they've shown me I've taken and so let me, so let me ask you this.
Speaker 4:I say this from a perspective that I fight hard to be a hundred percent owner of whatever. Whatever LLC I'm a part of, whatever S corp I'm a part of, I am the majority stakeholder period, right far as members for Connecticut. I don't know nothing about new york, mm-hmm, you know, um, there are businesses that are based in new york that do business in Connecticut. We, we hear about that all the time. Yeah, that's everywhere, right. So I'm saying, are you majority? Are you a majority member?
Speaker 2:So like how is this? How is this? Let me counter. Let me counter what you said, because what? What's the purpose of you being a majority owner? Why do you want to be a majority owner? What's the biggest thing to you? Do you want to make money or do you want to be a bigger part of the company?
Speaker 4:Well, it's not necessarily being a bigger part of the company, it's about. It's about the forward direction. However you see fit, mm-hmm, you're, you're open to constructive criticism. However, you have to say at the end of the day, mm-hmm, and that's how that and that's how that keeps that power maintained. Now, just because I happen, you know, I ain't shit, you know, I'm saying I, I got a whole slew of issues as far as me running the company, but I can honestly say, if I'm willing to deal in the thing the motherfucker wants, uh, you know, uh, 48 percent, that's fine with me, mm-hmm, that's fine with me. This is the cost. But then I'm controlling stakeholder, I'm controlling member.
Speaker 2:So let's say Do you understand exactly what I have to do to control? I understand exactly what I'm saying, if I really need to. So let's say. Let's say Brumell's psycho and fitness. You're where you're at right now. You meet Benjamin Thompson. He's an investor from California and he's willing to invest $350,000 today into Brumell's psycho and fitness, but he wants a majority portion. He wants to control 65, but he gives you the option to have creative control. You still get to run the business how you want. He wants to be a silent partner. You can do as you please, but he's the 65 making it bigger. He's the 65 holder. He's able to scale this company in a way that you would not be able to scale it because you don't have the funds. You don't have the finances.
Speaker 2:And your finances, the finances that you make in the next 10 years, would not be able to equate to what he could provide you today. Would you take that 35 percent and give him the majority hold so you can scale your company to an international level? Or would you prefer to run things yourself and you be the shareholder, you be the the sole owner of that LLC and you have to scale that business by yourself. He's gonna be able to open doors for you that you will and be able to just because of the money that he has.
Speaker 4:All right, so I'm gonna say I'm in to answer your question. I want to be very clear. You know this is Randy Brumell. Brumell cycling and fitness, 21 Burlington Road, Harrington, Connecticut. You worked hard for this, this is your baby.
Speaker 4:You talking about the, the brainchild, the first, the first child. Listen, there's morals and levels to this shit. You know, there's times where you can lose your soul. You understand me. And then you run around like little oozy vert doing all kinds of satanic shit. You understand me?
Speaker 4:Um, I'm not saying that that's the case. I'm saying that, unless I was ready to give up and there was a there wasn't, there was um, there was a um, there's uh, there's like, um, like, uh, like a clause where I cannot compete and they could do not compete clause. Mm-hmm, right, if I'm willing to give up and start anew, like I'm really to give up the whole bike shop thing because it's a lifestyle, Mm-hmm, it's beautiful that if I want to, I can get things for cost. If the shop is played right, I can get things for cost and do and maneuver how I want to supply my family with shit at a cost value, right, and sweep it under the rug and push it around, because that's how the world works. Mm-hmm, bro, I'm not sacrificing that level of control because at any given point in time, the rug can be pulled from up underneath you. And here it is, unless I'm ready to walk away from the shop totally and I got another plan.
Speaker 4:I said this is my transition. That is the only way I'm giving up control. Because I know for a fact if you're that interested, if you believe in me and my ability that much, then you know for a fact. You know you were not getting through the door with that Mm-hmm. You need to come at better. You need to understand some things. If not, you know what I understand you're gonna want to do business with me regardless, because we're already here to this point.
Speaker 4:Instead of one shop is gonna be, there's a wedding, and listen and listen may not be that case. It may not be that case. All the greats, all the greats, listen. You start off for one or two spots and you're good to go. I Can monopolize Connecticut. I got New York niggas right now. I got fucking Berkshire's and Massachusetts right now, and I'm nobody in a grand scheme of things. Their shops doing phenomenal numbers Fill me and I know I'm stinging their asses. So yeah, it's about that level of control and dominating. What are you gonna play? No fucking way, for no cause, no way. If you came to that point where you want to control in percent, Guess what homeboy? You're gonna want to negotiate a little bit before you lose me, and that's the whole understanding.
Speaker 2:So my rebuttal this yeah, for sure this business thing is bigger than Elliot Carter. Right, you know I'm saying like, at least you know, speaking in my perspective, separately from Randy Brumel, cycle and fitness, like what I'm trying to do is it's a lot bigger than just Elliot Carter, and I know that Elliot Carter isn't the head of what I'm trying to do, right, you will listen, you're doing something different.
Speaker 4:That's one thing I can honestly say, and this is a God's honest truth. You're destined to do something different because the platform is there to do something different. Yeah, you're. Your body, your mind, your soul, your spirit has to be fortified to handle the pressures of what you're trying to exactly Go to. Exactly, you're talking light years me.
Speaker 4:I'm about to be 44 years old in February, bro, and I'm comfortable with making. I know for a fact I can make X amount of 10,000 out the taxes. I can get some cash from to here and I can have a multitude of other investments Throughout New England and comfortably raise my family. I know I'm capable of that, yeah right, and I'm just like. I'm at peace with that now. If my son takes it somewhere, if my princess takes it somewhere, that's them. But right now, where I'm at, that's where I'm at. So that's why I said what I said. But you, I understand your method to your madness. This is big, this is huge. That's why I love it so much. That's why you shout out to it. We said episode 17, episode 17, episode 17. Happy new years, man with the motherfucking family Hawthorne in New.

Speaker 3:You can't juggle them.
Speaker 2:How old was you when you locked in?
Speaker 5:Respectfully, I knew about least 15 years. It's like when I was like Probably like 20, I don't know like 23.
Speaker 2:All right, boom you. You locked in. You told me you had a large number on your head. You locked in.
Speaker 4:I'm lightweight. That's what I'm going through, the drama I'm going through, you know. I'm saying like bro, I'm lightweight, lightweight, I'll be done After like it'd be like week three.
Speaker 2:I'll be dealing with a girl. You know I'm saying it'd be week three. We be, we be gonna destroy. It's me and my brother, me, my brother and my dog. We got.
Speaker 3:I'm on that type of time too, yeah you ain't from here Nah everything down.
Speaker 2:It's me, my brother and my dog. I'm telling you how I'm put up, though I'll be trying everything.
Speaker 4:One put up. You're not there yet. You're not trying to.
Speaker 2:I'll be trying to lock in with one Individual. You know I'm saying something, just don't work out that way.
Speaker 5:That's how this is how I feel. Like life work. You feel me, it's just gotta happen. Naturally. Can't force it, can't just make it happen. It's going to happen. We feel me, just live your life, live a good, solid life, and go after what you want. Don't force it and don't change who you are for nobody. Yes, and when I say naturally, I mean don't go too hard for anything. Yeah, nah, I feel you, and don't just lay back if you see something that you want Filling. Just be a real person and go after what you want. Be genuine, yeah, and don't force it, cuz life is all based about patience. Yeah, patience is a virtue. That's my. Everything's gonna happen.
Speaker 4:I'll be naturally man. Listen, that's my biggest issue. I'm gonna tell you that's what. No, no, you keep that me because I want to hear what you have to say about that real talk. That's my biggest issue right now. It's because I know Factually, when I step on the gas, god has allowed me to create some phenomenal things happening, like if I see a situation with certain cross and as this crossing they clearing up, there's a void and I slide right through it and avoid a lot of situations and things. I've been there and sometimes that has fueled me to keep trying to step on the gas sometimes, and then sometimes it works and sometimes it don't. So I understand what you would, definitely what you're talking about now.
Speaker 5:It's like 50-50, like I feel like we're like personal relationships. You have to be patient. Like you, make it just happen, what make as you cool it, what females you try and deal with, but like just Improvement of yourself, just trying to chase more, one more out of life, you can step on the gas. Make it go get that shit. For me, that's it. Nobody come to you unless you're born in a certain situation or you're just fortunate, but just living a natural life. Make you want it, go get it.
Speaker 2:That's it, guys will get what you want. Facts Chase your fucking dreams, yeah, and you know what I want to say.
Speaker 4:I want to say this too, because this is another thing too that's open my eyes, because I've met a lot of black. Um, I was fortunate enough COVID pushed a lot of good people around, but I got a chance to really meet some real successful black families Because of COVID and they had the money to move around. They ended up in Connecticut and, bro, shout out to those who get, who get born into the situation, because you know what it's a lot of pressure to maintain and not be that generation that's gonna destroy it all. Yeah, not for sure For real, for real. This big business, if you know, granddad did it, dad did it and now it's your turn, bro.
Speaker 4:You know I had, I was fortunate enough to meet a couple successful black men. Like they got black families all the way through and they come from. I mean, they came around or they came across and I'm like where the fuck you from again, and he's happened to pass by. So that's the blessing that happened to shop and it gave me motivation myself Because these are real straight, like, yeah, that's a nigga. I mean, a nigga ain't half nothing.
Speaker 2:That's a nigga. First of all, shout out to COVID COVID was the best motherfucking time of my life, I don't know about y'all personally, but me in the state of New York, with Donald Trump being president, covid was no. Covid was the best time of my life Unemployment, all that money coming in the economy. Under Donald Trump it was different. Like I'm talking about Niggas in the hood bum ass.

Um, I Want to say this sometimes my opinions Will cross, intersect with other opinions and don't make no motherfucking sense. That's just a crazy nigga that I am. You know, speak your truth and I'm speaking a truth.
Speaker 4:I like that you said that and um, but I got a heavy opinion situation because just just understanding both sides and also to understand how I Maneuvered in Connecticut, man and you know, shout out to the Elm City. Yeah, I mean, he's got an Ivy League downtown, and then do you say, is that like the whole? State of Connecticut. No, I'm sitting in New England.

Speaker 2:This is Larry's nah, not at all 100%, you Nah, but um, yeah, man fucking um, um, what you got, what you got coming up for 2024, randy really it's trying to.
Speaker 4:I go say try to figure it out, coming up with a have a game plan, because it's fine to any work at it, tweaking it, takes some things out, put some things in and bottom line is about making sure this, the first quarter, is okay. You know mm-hmm, you know it's not gonna be. It's not gonna be gangbusters, but we're going for gangbusters. We're gonna be a little more strategic and anticipate the bike season 2024 bike season. That's gonna be monumental.
Speaker 2:What's the prime season?
Speaker 4:of bike season and Connecticut right now, that the atmosphere shifting. I Saw sunny days only come, starting in late April. Early May it was raining throughout the entire week and it only be no. It rained throughout the entire Weekend and only be sunny a few days. Throughout the week. I and people running around ramp it, but people still riding it, but that shit was crazy. Normally it'll come straight from March going to some rain and then it'll be beautiful in the weekends and people start getting it in, they start cleaning up their lawns. It's a thing about biking and you get it in. It wasn't like that. It's like that. It's like the whole. It's like the whole season kind of shifted forward a little bit. Yeah, so I'm anticipating that March is still gonna be a cold, it's gonna be winter like, and I convinced that April might be winter like. But be prepared for it. Okay, you understand. Okay, so make sure your tires are on deck, make sure your inner tubes on deck, because that's how you're gonna. Molly Wapham.
Speaker 2:So, randy, talk to me, tell me some of the other services you provide Connecticut that these people may not know about.
Speaker 4:Well, I provide fitness repair Along with the sale of fitness accessories, so that's wrist wraps, knee wraps, kinesis tape or kinetic tape. We deal with a company called rock tape. That's a very popular brand for kinesis tape. We also to do thorough bands.
Speaker 2:That's like the tape for your knuckles.
Speaker 4:No well, it can be for your knuckles, it can be for your shoulders. You'll see a lot of athletes if they're having issues where they hyper, extend it. The tape goes over around joint areas to keep everything pulled closer so they don't over, they don't restrain the situation. So you see that tape, you sometimes you see cross tape or around their knees. Yeah, that's what that tape is and we just sort of we tried to support the health and wellness scene.
Speaker 2:Do you have a certain zone that you work with in, or anything like? Let's say, I'm from I Hartford, the east and the Hartford. Could I call you?
Speaker 4:Yeah, you could, as long as you pay for the invoice and what. What does that?
Speaker 2:For the invoice consists of the infancy cuz. I let's say I have no idea, and I'm right. Well pretty much.
Speaker 4:It's real simple it's. It's just listen. If you want me to come to you and here's the gig I've been around long enough you get I'm singing invoice, all the information. We charge a flat fee to come out. That's just to come out to take a look. If you need a part, then it will charge you for the part, won't charge you again to come back out and put it in. Okay, I'll give you a total of three shots three shots. Then we have to come down and agree to some solution. If you're talking about F me, you want your money back, then I'll just tell you grab a wine. Here's a ticket and you know the line for soon and Bramble cycling fitness is that way, and that's that I mean. Yeah, then you're fucked regardless because you're not gonna get nothing done. Other guys are not insured, other guys Don't show up, other guys don't have the connections to get the parts and don't know what to do to put them in.
Speaker 4:So sometimes you gotta understand your power and your strength. Because I had a. You know, I had a customer in New Canaan and I don't like talking about customers, but I had a customer in New Canaan. Very prominent people, great people. Husband was a joy to work with, but he knew his wife was something different. And you know you have to understand who your business is and what you provide. And Sometimes you have to you know and search yourself, because sometimes people will play. You know, and especially when you know I hate to say especially you know you're black, your business owner, they do the research like oh, this, this, this motherfucker really is who he is, mm-hmm, they'll try to play you.
Speaker 2:You know, and when you say they'll try to play.
Speaker 4:Elaborate on that a little bit. What do you try to get you to do jobs without being paid? They try to get you to come out without paying an invoice. They'll try to get you to low ball yourself. Give them a discount. I've had people you come in quarter mile driveways, double-tier front steps just to get to your front door and ring your doorbell and you want me to give you a discount. Oh sure, no, I'm gonna hit you. Yeah, your eyeballs. And I'm saying and that's the part, that's the part about you know me, a lot of dudes Ain't understanding Connecticut. That's why I get crazy like I'm all for good. There's certain gas stations I avoid what I'm traveling through, right, and I don't give fuck if my shit on E, I'm just gonna have to wing it and get to the next one.
Speaker 4:Pray for the best, because I'm not stopping you yeah and um and you know real talk. Man, like niggas just don't understand, they don't do the math to shit, they're rather shoot you at the gas pump. Then really, you know, stick up these, I hate to say you stick up these crackers and get it for everything, get it for everything.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you know, if you want to be for real and I know this gonna come back and haunt me, but this is live from the gutter and if you don't know me, if you haven't had that one-on-one conversation as, as you know, as a professional, oh you know, right guy coming to check me and dropping off bikes for your kids. I'm definitely pro black and I know the games that are playing and that's why I'm where I'm at and I feel like that's another thing too that that has me sitting firm. It's standing firm. I didn't bow jangles and I think for that I have a lot of Old heads that wouldn't even fuck with a black person ever, but they fuck with me and I think that's why I exist in Harrington, up on the hill Like I sit my coffee.
Speaker 4:Look to the left. I see the top of fucking Church head overlooking the mountains in the skyline. That'd be my view during the summer. Yeah, when it's gray out, I get to see all the skies and shit just start changing. I get to see the constellation quite often. No, I mean experience the wildlife for Connecticut, and I love Connecticut. I love it for that.
Speaker 2:And I also love it for that too. Being from New York, you know coming out here and seeing the scenery and also experiencing the Love that y'all share out here.
Speaker 4:You know I'm saying what camaraderie, the brotherhood because I feel like all the time though that's that's because you're you know, not all the time. Don't get fooled, man. You got to move swiftly out here. You got to move smart out here. That's you know. That's what Connecticut's about, you know. You take, listen. If you want to talk business, all right. So Harvard's deemed what insurance capital? You know the world, so to speak, right, yeah, okay, I've heard that one at a top. You know the the Connecticut's had, I think the connect has the largest hedge fund headquarters In the world. I think some other place in the UK or Great Britain or something like that, don't quote me but Connecticut's number one highest concentrate, right. And then we have Bridgewater. That's a freaking multi, multi-billion dollar conglomerate hedge fund ran by Ray Dalio, who come to be lives Nestled by the shoreline and Connecticut.
Speaker 4:I guys worth billions. You understand, and so people not understanding, what happens in the summertime, what COVID did and what people who have money from Seattle was like. Let's go to Connecticut, honey, we could pick up a nice freaking, you know nice little six bedroom for you know, three and a half bath sidebar question.
Speaker 2:Yeah, did you see Any news about multiple billionaires building bunkers recently in the last Three weeks?
Speaker 4:heard about it. I don't know, I don't know those. I don't know those high other people. I know local people have been had them. Now I'm talking about where.
Speaker 4:You know, I don't really get caught up in what we see on, that's just entertainment. When I take a shit, yeah, that's what I like to watch. Waste my time. Yeah, okay, I worry about who's a real game changer in real, real time. Who's really putting away 1.2 this year and took a hit? You feel me? Yeah, for sure who's that person. Because guess what Sunday? But a nice Sunday in December, a nice Sunday December this year, 2023.
Speaker 4:Well, fuckers, got brand spanking new shit coming down and some people got fucking their Corvette's on the law for sale. For sure you understand me and so you see the dynamics and you know who's playing and who's building. You know, I want to know who bought all that land and eat's Granby and built all those apartments. Because the whole thing now is because gentrification is the new wave now. So you have all the influx of affluent white people in the inner cities buying up houses and changing things. Now what happens is people need Housing. So now you have places like East Granby Center getting federal funding and then, on top of big-time investors building freaking beautiful fucking multi-family homes on a fucking on a, on a five acre plus lot, and and guess what? That's what they're gonna send. That's what they go. You know, if you can afford it, a little sign, that's what they're gonna send you at, because you could not afford to live in Hartford pretty soon now if you can't afford it, what happens?
Speaker 2:You're gonna get pushed out.
Speaker 4:If you don't know how to navigate, that's the thing you know. I mean, like I don't understand, people don't for me. I know exactly how the Bromel family got up here to Connecticut. I know exactly where we come from. You understand, and I think a lot, of, a lot of my brothers and sisters in Connecticut. They don't tap into that and understand how to fuck they got in Connecticut in the first place Because there's a story to that and you said to understand what people did for Connecticut man, you know how you got here, what my family, your family, your family, I was born in a different country.
Speaker 2:Oh, you was, yeah, jamaica. You was born in Jamaica. Yeah, that's lit. How old was you when you came over here? Came over here when?
Speaker 5:I was about six years. Oh, okay, okay, my mom came first and then I came, but I came from Jamaica.
Speaker 2:So yeah, I'm migrated from Jamaica.
Speaker 5:I'm from St Andrews. It's like the countryside of Kingston. Okay, yeah, okay yeah, I came here.
Speaker 2:Do you go back and visit?
Speaker 5:I haven't been there in a while, but since I've been up here, I've been back a few times. Okay, I've been back in here for a time.
Speaker 2:That's lit. Oh, you know how you got here and it'd be like that, you know, sometimes I want to know, though you got to do your homework.
Speaker 3:I get my sister. She went, she did the ancestry that calm. But would you do that? No, I heard them people on that shit. No, listen, listen, I don't trust nothing. I'm not going to nobody. That ain't me, I mean, but I did. I can't really speak, speak on it because I want to get none of the information twisted. But they did talk about ancestry calm and that the people that own it Tell you it's deeper than just yeah, yeah, I mean what they telling you from like some of the people that they like my, are you from me, you are, you gotta know.
Speaker 3:So ancestry comm is owned by the Blackstone group you know who blacks on this, I'm just learning who they are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they them niggas and August 2020.
Speaker 4:Retour.
Speaker 2:August 2020, the Blackstone group announced plans to acquire ancestry for $4.7 billion. In February 2021, ancestry announced W, a former Facebook executive, as their CEO, effective March 1st. In November 21st, ancestry announced that they have acquired French genealogy company Geniette. So that's a little bit of history from 2020 to now Gates on your apples. More than that it's more than that.
Speaker 1:Bill Gates.
Speaker 2:Bill Gates has a hand in so much. It's that, that effect that affects us individually.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:For sure, just pray for your food, man. That's it.
Speaker 5:Pray for your food, that's why definitely pray over your food, your food yeah, definitely pray over your food.
Speaker 2:No, fucking chicken man. This shit is different. 2024 man.
Speaker 3:Yeah, man, dropping like they be dropping laws, like they have some stupid shit on. They said the shit that's on the news is a distraction. Anything that's from reality. Distraction from the laws that they are passing. Yeah, under your, under our nose. Amen about real shit Like real, real shit that they even put in the news, like you have kids, dora, son, how would you feel?
Speaker 2:How is your daughter, if you don't mind me asking, six, six and a half, six and a half, seven? How would you feel? Your baby mother and your seven year old daughter are going into the bathroom a public restroom and a man that was born with a penis Walks into that bathroom, following them because he identifies as a woman. He's transitioning, so he is. This is his lifestyle, or this is her lifestyle, their lifestyle, whatever it may be, how do you feel about that taking place right in front of your eyes?
Speaker 5:Respectfully, I would, uh, disagree with you Respectfully, I would disagree with that because it's not about whether you disagree with it or not.
Speaker 2:How would I fail?
Speaker 5:What are?
Speaker 2:you gonna do right there in that moment? Are you gonna let that happen? Are you gonna stop it? Are you gonna let it happen? Let it play out in front of you. How would I?
Speaker 5:be able to stop it. I would have to like, they would have to like Leave that Area. That's the only way I would stop it. I wouldn't be able to just physically stop Him or her from going into the bathroom. I can't stop him or her from losing the bathroom. But I could say something to my family yeah, absolutely going to that bathroom.
Speaker 2:Okay. So let's say your family walks in, boom, they go into the bath. They're literally in the bathroom. They go into the bathroom 25 seconds later after they already went too far. They're already out of your reach. Here comes Him her. Malcolm maze. He was born Malcolm maze, but now his name is.
Speaker 5:Molly.
Speaker 2:Molly Mary, he walks into that bathroom. How do you feel? What are you gonna do? Are you gonna be hope, hold on my, my daughters in that way? For my daughter to come out like, let me, let me, let me just stop you from going in there, wait for her to come out, because if you do that, now you're a sexist, now, now you're transphobic, now you're homophobic, now you're an enemy of the state.
Speaker 5:Respectfully, I just got to identify as who I am. I can't care about everybody else. Think I gotta just Move you for me, uh-huh. So Respectfully, I would Not physically trying to do anything, but I'll probably have to say, just hold on for a second, yeah, like my young daughters in there, or that's a good question. I went, I went, I went physically try to Fill me, but it would just have to play out, it would have to like naturally, just have something that you wouldn't be able to predict.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I don't think I could just describe it with words. Yeah, but my opinion on it is if you're born one way, in your Transition into another way, just for the general public, go to the bathroom that you were born to now.
Speaker 2:I've seen this argument so many times and I'm familiar with it. They don't feel that way. They want to go to the bathroom that they're transitioning to like main set Is there's two parts to this shit?
Speaker 3:I had to think about the question I just presented. Uh-huh, if my Peoples are going to a bathroom In the mail Transgender is going to that bathroom, we go into another bathroom.
Speaker 2:They're already in the bathroom. That's one. That's one.
Speaker 3:The other scenario is they already in the bathroom and he walks in the bathroom. He's walking in. I Don't know. I'm gonna keep it real and the only reason I could say even whether I disagree with it or not Is because they got so many rights. I'm not, I'm not, I'm a. I don't give a fuck. I'm against homosexuality. I'm gonna say that live and direct if you got somebody, I got, I mean it is what it is, I'm gonna get. I got love for you.
Speaker 3:I'm not judging you, but I'm against it because we supposed to be here to Appropriate the world. That's your thing, that's your thing, uh-huh, but I'm against that. But back on that, I don't know. I just don't want to be in that type of Situation you know, because my lady my lady is gonna say something. I Don't really got to say nothing cuz she's gonna say something. If especially a kid she don't play about, no kids, uh-huh, I'm saying so. I ain't been in that situation, but now I'm gonna be on alert of looking, because they got transgender bathrooms.
Speaker 2:Now let me. Let me put you in a more terrifying situation. You didn't bring all of you, because this is something that I've witnessed Via social media, not firsthand. You're at work, wherever it is, maybe you may work. You're at work. You get a phone call from your daycare provider of your daughter. The teacher says hey, what's going on? How are you? Yes, your daughter Was using the bathroom today.
Speaker 2:She was sent into the bathroom with Thomas, who is who identifies as non-binary, and when she came out of the bathroom stole she had no pants on. Thomas directed her to put the pants back on and then, when they exited the bathroom, your five-year-old daughter proceeded to tell Thomas hey, I'm gonna get you fired. Thomas reported this to the teacher and the teacher makes an incident report and then proceeds to call your phone. You know damn well your daughter didn't say to Thomas hey, I'm gonna get you fired because your daughter's five years old and you know your daughter very well. Your question in the fact that she came out. Why did she come out of the bathroom? So, with no pants on, yeah, now your question in the fact why did Thomas take my fucking daughter to the bathroom? Let's talk about this. Y'all are parents. Let's talk about this. Randy, how do you feel your daughter was taken to the bathroom? I can't really talk on that because that would reflect.
Speaker 4:I feel like that would be given too much away, because I feel like the harsh reality is this and we better come up with 2024 if you're not understanding what's going on in the world, if you don't understand was not the world. If you understand what's going on within this nation by itself, bro, you, you deserve everything that's coming to you, you know. So that goes into. If something like that goes down, what do you do? And I can't, I can't talk about that.
Speaker 4:No, because you know, because, because the reality is, Because, because, because the reality is, the reality is that you should be, you should already be in that mind frame. Yeah, if you have children and your children are under 10, you should have already been in that mind frame of understanding, and then that would have opened your eyes up to other things.
Speaker 3:Right, that's what you're trying them to excuse me. All right, we got to see some early.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you got to teach them early, but that would open your mind up. That's some same black people, you know. Listen, I know there's mad people on it because I've heard some great professionals come up on here during the podcast. Yeah, from Connecticut, from Massachusetts. That's what I love about the podcast to bro. But you know, we need to wake up, because if you start thinking like that, like yo, what am I gonna do? I'm gonna let the judicial system work. No, he's just gonna do it. Right, bar, you're gonna do it and try to get away with it. And if so, what are the plans of action? So, how are you gonna do this? Sometimes you can't get away. Sometimes you can get 12, 15 years out of the situation Before it comes to life or bites you back in the ass, of course, Sometimes you can get away scot-free.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing at the end of the day, what the fuck you doing?
Speaker 4:Listen on some real life shit, because I want to be real serious about this was a real life shit. At the end of the day, when you start Thinking like that, you start to open your minds up to understanding things, things why certain Relations are made, why black panthers are doing what they're doing, the new black panthers doing what they're doing, why people are doing what they're doing Now, I'm a they can't focus, that's it. That's it, bro, that's it. You gotta be focused and if you ain't about all that, you still secular just about you and yours. You at least should be putting away for you and yours, because there's gonna be times where you're gonna be tested. The laws and power that be in place that you know of just like you knew of the dollar, mm-hmm are going to start changing. Mm-hmm, you understand me, it's changing now 2024.
Speaker 2:It's changing right now.
Speaker 4:Changing now right now in front of ours. There's certain sex, you know, like New York, right, the largest police department in the nation, right, they still do what they do because they're huge, but they've been slowed down quite a bit From what they used to do. I'm gonna muck, laws have changed, so therefore, guess what militias already been made in sex and secular. You don't really know who's who and what's what until you're really in there. But the thing I didn't like about um, I'm thinking, like about the black lives matter movement that pissed me off was your listen. They're a black young old in middle-aged black professionals who are police officers, firefighters, chiefs, that have put up with discrimination over and over again. And now you're putting them, you're gonna ostracize them and put them in a situation where they got to choose, but no one's paying their mortgage. How do you feel about? No, no, no, no, for real, nobody was paying their mortgage. Uh-huh, you understand that there's tons of Hartford black firefighters that were under fire for some shit like that Are there even tons of black firefighters in Hartford.
Speaker 4:There's enough.
Speaker 2:But cuz I'm I'm quite certain, cuz I've done the research, the ratio is the ratio drama listen.
Speaker 4:The ratio may be small, but there is a black to white is ridiculous.
Speaker 2:Yeah, of course there is.
Speaker 3:And Connecticut fire fighters and my talk about minority.
Speaker 5:Firefighters.

These are people that got mothers, wives, you know, saying daughters and so and so that shit wasn't helping them at all. It could have been a total change of Just real black lives period on a grand scale, but all those millions and billions of dollars black lives matter was raking in was not being allocated correctly.
Speaker 2:Absolutely not. That's why that's that's what leads me to my next question how do you feel about how black lives matter handles in general?
Speaker 4:Are you a supporter of BLM? They don't know. They don't exist, no more.
Speaker 3:No, there's no black lives matter was an agenda to support, I Believe, the LGBTQ. Hmm speak. All that shit came around around the same time. They was keep talking about black lives matter to get all the people riled up and and all that shit was a test to see. All this should be a test, man, and all the shit be staged. This should be stage, bro. We make an event which might be real death for life, but it's still a act. I mean yeah, and then, and then they see where the people at all this should be ahead. All the Trayvon Martin and all that shit. This is, this should be this shit in America. So emotional. They don't sit back, they don't think out the box, they just, whatever the fucking government or the news tell them, they just run with that shit.

Speaker 4:Shout out to the bonuses that was given them saying during COVID Chats all that shit, man cuz I was around for that. You understand me.
Speaker 2:I was in. I was in New York City 2020, 2021, 2022. No, not 2020, 2021. That's when it was really lit. 2019. I was in New York City. When I tell you COVID changed lives. Covid, like the money that should help me over the change, the motherfucking game, I'm talking about yo. I'm telling you niggas, that Niggas, that was fucked up. I was ballin niggas. That was fucked up, like not doing nothing with their lives. These niggas got these. These niggas is taking trips. You know I'm saying all got new shorties, everything I'm already going courtesy of Donald Trump. That shit is the the same things that I'm talking about. Sipping 1942 On a Tuesday night right in front of projects, so chilling. These same niggas. Right now it's fucking homeless. My nigga.
Speaker 5:Like real talk, like prayers go out of them these niggas can't find jobs.
Speaker 2:Like you know, I'm saying like never getting that, like that again. Yeah that that time is over, that's your over that time is the right thing with that. Time is over.
Speaker 5:If you improperly invest that money, it's good riddance, because they gave you a lump sum, your first check.
Speaker 3:Yeah, thanks, it was quitting a job.
Speaker 2:Facts yeah, no, niggas was not going to work. Money ain't good money.
Speaker 5:Donald Trump definitely given out racks.
Speaker 3:Giving out bands, the lesser he was.
Speaker 2:The lesser he was. That's what I'm saying. Yo, randy, who you voting for 2024? Tell me Donald Trump.
Speaker 4:You know what. It's imperative and it also to works to my bio a lot of pretty smart.
Speaker 3:Yes, your question. Let's me um. I start your intelligence. You know I already got the next president lined up.
Speaker 4:They probably do my first. So what you vote, so what you going for, it's just for the political plane and documentation, the documentation. There we go.
Speaker 3:So they could, so they know how to move on us political plane documentation. So they know how to move on us, of course. So you bought us, so they know how to move on us.
Speaker 4:They're born, so I know how they're gonna move with me and how they gonna deal with me accordingly. Do you understand every? I can't. I can't go into the dirty depths of things, but it's like for you to understand psychology with them.
Speaker 4:It's not even reverse psychology, because they already know who you are. You know To maneuver in any business aspect, especially in the state of Connecticut, to move on any scale in business. And I ain't got no baby mama's co-signing, my grandmama ain't linked to an iron stunt in the front for me to be a Felon and a legit business owner in the state of Connecticut. They know who you are very well. No man they know. Your township knows who you are very well and so therefore you just kind of maneuvering. You know how to play Presidents for time. I hope for both. I vote for downtown the emperor In presidential but towns are disappointed.
Speaker 3:Have you ever, have you ever voted for somebody? And then when? Of course, were you disappointed and did you think they should have one?
Speaker 4:not at all. You're never to be disappointed, never.
Speaker 5:Dangang.
Speaker 4:It's highly adaptive. That's all because you're black in America. You never forget that. Make a heart. You never forget that. No matter who you vote, how you vote, you're black in America and if you create in black family and black excellence on any scale in this nation, you're gonna have to understand that it's gonna come with its trials and tribulations period. Do your voice do.
Speaker 3:Do your vote count to you?
Speaker 4:I'm not sure. I just told you it only counts for documentation. So it's not, it only counts for documentation. It's good on paper, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 3:I don't count that, yeah. So my back to my question why would you vote? I just answered your question. I'm confused though.
Speaker 4:I'm just asking. You're confused because you're not trying to understand what I'm coming from. I said it's only for documentation. You say why, Documentation for who, what people, what powers that be? What are you talking about?
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're talking, why would I?
Speaker 4:vote for them.
Speaker 3:Listen, don't make a difference. Don't make a difference if you vote.
Speaker 1:Hey, listen, if a black person I'm just asking If you hold on.
Speaker 4:Let me ask you this then Do you think Barack Obama was for us? No, I don't know if I'm going to write this. What does it make a difference?
Speaker 3:I don't vote for them. Excuse me, excuse me.
Speaker 4:Sir, sir, I just asked you a question. Whether you're black, whether you're Asian, whether you're white, if you got in an office, it doesn't make a difference anyway, Because it was already predestined. So if I know all this why would I vote? And the only thing I'm going to get out of it is the documentation to know what side he's on or how he navigates the situation politically. Then that's how I got to do it.
Speaker 3:Right, are you going to find out? I'm not coming at you, we're just talking.
Speaker 4:We're just talking, we're vibing man. This is real shit.
Speaker 3:You want to find out if you didn't vote. I'm going to use a U because I asked you I want to find one out. If you didn't vote for just say fuck Barack. Anybody generally talking, if you ain't never voted what you had-. I voted for him the first time.
Speaker 4:I voted for him. I'm not going to be a part of history. What are?
Speaker 1:you talking about we all did, we all did. That's what I didn't know.
Speaker 3:We all won that. If you didn't vote, you wouldn't have found the same results.
Speaker 2:Maybe, maybe it would have been the same results, but-.
Speaker 3:So one vote really counts, two, three votes really counts.
Speaker 2:I want to say why they're rigging the votes for Me personally, because I have a different stance than Randy. Randy has a different-. Did Biden really win or did Trump really win that last election? I want to say Trump but-.
Speaker 5:Is it Trump supporting?
Speaker 2:No, I'm keeping it real, though. I want to say I want to say you know, me and Randy have different stances, but I want to say the Each individual vote is documentation. It is documentation, but it's on a larger scale because you have to go it's a lot of shit that goes into voting. The population, the state, the collegiate votes that go into it and how many?
Speaker 4:people in experience In experience, life experience.
Speaker 3:Only how many people in the United States that we got to depopulize. What do you mean you just might have to. What do you mean they always want to know. There's always a census in the population. Yeah, absolutely. They always talking about Bill Gates and the Miz.
Speaker 1:Yo, we got to do this, and that the population that Populize.
Speaker 3:So that's a fork. To me, that's a form of Gather. All these people votes. Tally them up. That's how many people we got in the world. Because is it the world? Is it 52?
Speaker 2:states or 50 states, however. So now we're getting into more elaborate theories. Now we're talking about, like the census and population control, and when you say that's what we talked about.
Speaker 1:Vote because it's the largest scale.
Speaker 2:When you say depopulize, you mean like talking about killing off the extra population.
Speaker 3:That's how this conversation came up. Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:By the corona. I understand where you're coming from and I want to just say that these things could potentially be true, but without the evidence to provide so right now. From this ground Whatever it is E what evidence do we have? We can't-. We could say whatever we want, but it's just a theory.
Speaker 3:Excuses bro, it's in your face. I hear you, if you see it or not. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah it is. It is in your face. Let me help.
Speaker 4:Let me help out. What he's saying is is listen, man, I got a podcast to run, so I have to say these things In accordance with how the podcast is being ran. How, when is that all you do To refrain myself from being sued on any form, because you know the niggas will?
Speaker 3:come for you, bro. Bro, we have a low bottom.
Speaker 4:Oh, give them fuck what you mean, bro. You got the bread. I'm coming for you. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3:What are you talking about what bread? What bread? Listen, if you lose-.
Speaker 4:I'm talking about the people that like to sue other companies to try to put the squash. If you coming up and you racking up the views and you getting the shit going and now you syndicated and you making a little bit of money, I'm gonna fuck. If they can and they got more money and they more leverage than you, they will try to squash you, my brother said that his highest views was 800 people.
Speaker 3:We not at 800,000. We this for the underground, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm talking about. This is for the underground I ain't talking about-.
Speaker 3:We even that's ain't drink trends bro.
Speaker 2:Even would it be in I still love this shit.
Speaker 4:Even would it be it's our own drinks here.
Speaker 2:It's a burgeoning podcast. It's something we just started here in Connecticut October 27th and even with it just starting, october 27th 2023. We've been sued twice For what? We've been sued twice? Yeah, I heard these stories, bro.
Speaker 4:What was the first one? Don't get him started. Please don't get that started.
Speaker 2:How much is that?
Speaker 4:Don't get him and don't get that started. Just straight to the point, bro. What was the?
Speaker 2:first what do you call it? Just a?
Speaker 5:defamation of character. Who was character?
Speaker 2:A person out of Connecticut that I was allegedly speaking on and what I say earlier, before I found this out, I said you go too hard.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I said that.
Speaker 1:And I didn't even know.
Speaker 3:That's why I'm asking home give me an example. Yeah, you did. You go too hard. I didn't go too hard on nobody. I went hard on public information.
Speaker 2:Yeah, facts, you did. You feel me, you did. Absolutely, I agree with you. That's it. But I'm just saying, like, the reason that I took the stance that I was cause, like just coming from a reporting stance, like I can't really speak on anything unless I could prove it. You know what I'm saying. Like, and these are very strong allegations that we're making and they make sense, but I don't have the other side to like stand down on it. Like, yeah, like, this is why that happened such and such. You know what I'm saying. Like, I don't know, I'm just saying that this is why that's happening. You get what I'm saying. You get what I'm coming from. Like, I have to come from a factual standpoint where I sit. That's it.
Speaker 3:Like, that's why even people from but if it's going to cause a problem, I might need to leave it alone.
Speaker 2:No, no, there we go. I don't, like, I don't agree with that, because I feel like the truth needs to be heard, or everything, like everything.
Speaker 3:No matter what it means.
Speaker 2:So you can't pick a choose, then you can't pick and choose.
Speaker 3:I'm not saying to pick and choose, I'm saying in the future that's why I'm telling you you gotta, you ain't gotta, report on everything, it's all right. It's all right, say like this, say you in the neighborhood and there's some neighborhood shit going on.
Speaker 3:You gonna report on it because you got a podcast? No, all right, then that's what we talking about. Yeah, so certain shit, if they hurt you, if you got a thing about it twice like should I do this or not, you shouldn't probably do it, yeah. Or you should ask somebody that you confided Should I put this out? What you think about this? Uh huh, like you said, like how we talking, and he said the people come for you. Yeah, anybody come for you.
Speaker 2:Anybody would come for you. You feel what I'm saying, bro. Anybody would come for you, that's a fact. It will, that's a fact.
Speaker 3:But when we come, when we talking about that, talk nigga, I'm gonna die one day anyway. So definitely I'm gonna die on my feet, bro, yeah for sure. And I'm gonna die for what I believe you ready, stand on yours. I might not want to, I might even be scared, but I'm gonna have to go through what I gotta go through.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for what I gotta go through To stand on yours.
Speaker 3:Alright, james, that's why I get, so I wasn't coming at you. Reign, yeah, man it was okay.
Speaker 1:I just get passionate in certain things like to talk about this, bro.
Speaker 3:Yeah, nah, I feel you For real, because that's the shit that's really divided and conquering us as a whole, as black men, yeah, when you talk about unity and all that other stuff, alright, yes, that's the shit that's breaking us up, then You're not.
Speaker 4:You're not respecting another man's opinion, that he just don't agree with what you're saying. Yeah, for sure. And the flag, all that red blue and white shit.
Speaker 3:they been all that. That's gang shit. That's their gang that they put on us, because every gang is infiltrated by the CIA or somebody like that. Yeah, nah, for sure.
Speaker 4:For sure. All I know is I played a game.
Speaker 5:And I'm just trying to win. Play the red.
Speaker 4:I said that's all man.
Speaker 1:Everybody Alright fine balance and play the win. Fine balance and play the win.
Speaker 4:God first, that's my son, god, for all day.
Speaker 3:That's my son, All day I don't say nothing about this.
Speaker 4:No, I'm bound. Yeah, fine balance. No, I agreed with you. I didn't speak your piece, I agreed with you.
Speaker 3:I'm saying like, definitely, there's only two, god of the devil, there ain't no, there ain't no. This, this shit that we going on in the world don't even matter, right, it's the shit you can't even see, that nigga don't even think about Anybody. Talk about motherfucking good, I mean all the bad shit that go in, but don't know, president, ever tell you hey, yo as a nation, let's pray. You're not going to hear them. Say none of that shit to you, not in.
Speaker 2:America, but in other countries.
Speaker 4:Maybe In other countries. I'll talk about America. I'll talk about America Because I was about to say, like I, don't live in America, we can start naming countries that will do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and they stand on what they stand on, for sure For sure.
Speaker 1:I'm saying not America, not America.
Speaker 2:No, america, america God is gold or you are drugs. What America is going to do is encourage your children that they are sexless, that they are whatever they feel they are. So we could push money into the medical field of transitioning young boys and girls into the opposite sex. That's what America is going to do. America is going to promote fuckery like that.
Speaker 5:America is going to tell you Babylon. America is going to tell you.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying. America is going to tell your son oh, you like Barbies. No, oh, that's fine. Because I'm going to tell my son shit, I'm going to tell my son Facts and you got to make sure that you're in control of their future and not the powers to be Not social media, not social media, not social media, exactly.
Speaker 3:And listen.
Speaker 4:I want to make this very clear because sometimes, like I said, my opinions can be conflicting. Now I'm saying I'm playing a game, right, but if I have a healthy fear and understanding of what God wants and requires even though now I'm trying to find balance I know for a fact that I have to answer for a lot of shit, that I've done Shit that only God and I really know Don't need to forgive you, right, and so you got to answer for a lot of shit. So now, more so than ever, especially now that I got my son, I navigate through life more with understanding that you know what I might just go down anyway, but it doesn't mean I cannot be understanding, and so that's why I'm trying to, that's why I try to maneuver. No way and nigga all right. Let's say like this let's say there is, hypothetically speaking, let's say there is, some level of commandment or some level of order of dos and don'ts, right? Let's just say, for the sake of argument, In relation to the probably gates.
Speaker 4:I don't think I will, bro. Yeah, so right now, what I'm doing? What I'm doing is I'm a man, listen, listen.
Speaker 3:I'm on that. I'm on that level, like everybody will listen.
Speaker 4:I'm on that. Well, I hope so. I'm on that level. I'm on that level of understanding.
Speaker 4:I'm not even trying to make up anymore, I'm really else. This is my son came before my son. I was trying to make up and trying to do right and do my thing, but I had, like you know, salacious activities. That's why I'd be trying to talk to you like I don't understand what you're trying to do moment. But you, young, you're going to do what you want to do and you, you know successful black, you know entrepreneur doing your thing. Yeah, but, on another note, it's like I kind of been there, done that.
Speaker 4:So what, that being said, is, now I just float through life like understanding that I might not make it, but I'm maneuvering with a level of understanding I want, I'm trying to maneuver with a level of understanding and now that I have my, my, my only child, I'm really like understanding some other next level shit that I haven't understand. Now, yeah, I'm a late dad. There's a lot of niggas saying what you talking about. Man, I got three, four kids up and running Quiddos to you, brother, I appreciate you getting old, I appreciate you, black man. However, this is my understanding. Now it's a different playing field, different level of understanding, and so now here I am, you know. So I just I'm just maneuvering like yo I'm going to go down anyway probably, but you know it doesn't. Yeah, exactly Hold on.
Speaker 4:It doesn't mean. Whatever it may be. So let's say let's say, let's say no, I believe hell is right here on earth. So where you going down to? I'm talking about listen, I don't know. Listen here. Here's something I firmly believe in the essence of things I firmly believe you have to be. You do have to be held to a standard morally as human beings on this planet. I agree with you. If you have done some real like, created like some real type of malice, I'm talking about some real harmful shit towards other people.
Speaker 1:I'm not talking about vindictive shit, not talking about evil.
Speaker 4:However, yeah, evil, harmful. Evil is still going to be harmful, I don't care what you say. If you're using, even if you're using, social media right now, it is still harmful, it's still crushing. This is a level, a different level of things. Right, that's what made Saw so beautiful. Right, made it such a scary movie because guess what? The anticipation in the mind fucked before you really got fucked. That's what made Saw so beautiful. So yo, bro, for real, you're already going. I don't know what's going on, but I know I'm going to have to pay for some shit because I'm really not do some shit and even sometimes I ain't going to front, sometimes finding that balance I'm being accountable for you.
Speaker 3:You're holding yourself accountable, but listen, bro, I don't mean going down to whatever the fuck you're going down to.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, but I make it listen, even if it goes down, however it go down. That's what I navigate, how I navigate, like I understand, even even when dealing with listen, even with dealing with my young wife now just talking about relationships, sometimes I sit back and I just like, yo, you're really lucky, yeah, cause already would have just boom, boom, boom. I just be like, yeah, this is this is, this is what I'm dealing with, because I've done some things. You've grown. I've grown Right. If you got someone who's accusing you or something you got yourself fucked up and jammed up in some situation, yeah, that person might be wrong for lying and telling them you lying on you right, trying to blemish your name. But then you have to still sit back and put the mirror in front of your face and ask yourself how the fuck did I even get associated with someone like that in the first?
Speaker 2:place yeah.
Speaker 4:What happened there?
Speaker 2:How the fuck did you get associated? Whose fault is that Exactly?
Speaker 4:It's no. So now you just got to get the mirrors back on you. You feel me?
Speaker 2:Mirrors back on you, yeah exactly you got to hold yourself accountable. Yeah, exactly, I fuck with it. I agree with it.
Speaker 3:To me, randy man, once you, once you, like you, said you've grown up immature, right? So then we ought to do some bad shit we ain't proud of. But I ain't going to determine, I don't know that that determined your fate.
Speaker 4:That's the whole beauty thing of fate, per definition. You know what I'm saying. That's the whole thing. We don't have no clue and that's why I saw that's how I maneuver, like I'm doing this thing. I don't have no clue. If I'm going to go out of business in the next quarter, am I going to see bike season? Is my commercial account going to be enough to give me that influx of cash to make some more beautiful things happen on top of me grinding throughout this winter? I don't know these things.
Speaker 2:But I'm faithful, Listen, listen listen, but I'm faked.
Speaker 4:That is part of my life.
Speaker 2:Nah, I'm faking it is.
Speaker 3:But, I'm just faithful that could change if he's paying mortgage on time, but I'm saying.
Speaker 4:I'm saying like this I'm walking through life right now with an understanding that all this can go to shit as long as I was doing right being at that shop. You can't tell you how many times where a young kid of color, like, let's say, an Indian kid, come in, got a flat tire and it's so shocked to see a brown face on the other side of the counter I can see it in their face. They out there, they in Harrington's, and fucking rare Couple pull up and they seeing that Yo oh shit, this is a black and I've impacted lives and I've made things, certain things, be known and people love my story and for that I'm trying to change people, perspectives on understanding that everyone's different. You ain't never going to change nobody. I mean never, ever. Oh, they never see what the fuck I'm coming from. But and guess what? I got an answer for a lot of shit. I know that because I believe in a higher power.
Speaker 3:But I'm a walk through life. That's why I was asking.
Speaker 5:You believe in a?
Speaker 3:higher power. Why would you want to go?
Speaker 4:down. You ain't going to. It's not about what you want. That's the only thing.
Speaker 3:That's what I believe it has.
Speaker 4:But listen, that's the whole thing. People thinking it's a physical thing. You don't know what it is, we have no idea. No one has really came back from anything like that.
Speaker 3:Some people have these premonitions where I died, and this one it was like you said, you're not going to be accepted, so you already believe you're going somewhere.
Speaker 4:What are you talking about? I just said I wasn't going to see. That's the thing. I never said.
Speaker 2:I wasn't going to be accepted, you got to go down. That's what you said.
Speaker 4:I said if I go, what you mean if I go down? If I go down, could be being held accountable.
Speaker 3:It could be hey, listen, that's what I'm asking you. I'm confused. That's what I keep saying when you going? You keep saying I'm going down.
Speaker 4:What you talking about, if you going down. So what do you mean by? What do you think I mean by saying going down? Hell, we wasn't, that's what.
Speaker 2:I said that's what we assume.
Speaker 1:Yeah before you start talking about the job, I'm like really what that got to do with we?
Speaker 3:talk about, because I'm still on. No, we was on spiritual. Remember, we're on spiritual.
Speaker 4:We are on spiritual, but you got to understand. Here's the verb Maybe. I was like oh, you think you're going down, so automatically you assimilate that word of oh, I'm going down into hell. Now you asked me where you believe hell. I believe hell is here on earth. I made that statement. Yeah, you did so. What that being said is but I'm saying I'm going down, I'm saying, like dog, there's some things that have been done that I cannot take back.
Speaker 3:So you say and I know that.
Speaker 4:I say I was going to be taken.
Speaker 3:I'm going to ask you what you down me.
Speaker 2:I think he's saying I'm going to be held accountable.
Speaker 4:I'm going to be held accountable. Yeah, you ain't going to slip by. So you think it physically down. If I'm saying I'm going down, I'm not saying it physically. I'm asking you to explain what you talking about. I just told you, I explained. You don't want to accept what I'm explaining. I'm explaining to you is I'm never, ever talking about some purgatory fire. You're going to burn it. All types of sit on the stone there and your flesh is going to rip thousands of times, all right.
Speaker 3:So how are you going to go down talking about that? Are you going to go down to be held accountable? You're not going to slip by you going to jail.
Speaker 4:Somebody's going to do something to you Listen, listen to me, listen to me. I believe you. You're talking about heaven or hell. He said he's not talking about that.
Speaker 3:He said he's not talking about that. He said he's not talking about that. I'm talking about entering on any level?
Speaker 4:I don't know. Listen, people will say heaven or hell. Right, listen to me, I'm going to come to the point of realizing that, okay, who's to say that the Christians are right saying heaven or hell? Who's to say that the Muslims are right saying what they believe in heaven and hell is? Who's to say the Jews are right? But the common bond, the common bond and understanding, is that there's a higher power than yourself, even an eight. I'm listening to that.
Speaker 5:I believe independently. Each individual like think about their own religion. So we're writing as what you make it Okay.
Speaker 4:What do you believe in? What do you believe in? I'm not complaining that to him. He's like where are you going to go? You're not talking about religion. What am I talking about?
Speaker 3:That's what I'm asking you, because what many of you talking about, you ain't talking about purgatory, which is hell.
Speaker 4:You're trying to say I'm not, I'm not, I'm not willing to be characterized by what your definitions are. That's where the discourse is happening. You use the word down All.
Speaker 3:I did was actually. What do you mean by the word down? And what I say purgatory, but then you start saying being held accountable for my actions.
Speaker 4:Bro, I'm going down, you can't slip through the cracks. Hey, you know how you get around. All right, yo, your word is how you get around.
Speaker 3:How you get around. I held accountable for what you did in the past. You can't slide by. All right, that's all I meant.
Speaker 4:You can't slide All right, all right.
Speaker 3:What I mean is how you said it. Like I'm going down, so I'll say Randy, don't you think somebody going to do something to you? No, I get what he's talking about.
Speaker 2:You're going to jet yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, okay. I'll get what you're talking about. That's what I was confused, bro.
Speaker 4:I thought it was anything on the actual plane, and the plane is what we view as reality. What we're seeing right now is tangible, right, this mug and whatever. I'm seeing you and seeing you. If I'm saying that I'm going down on this plane, I wouldn't even talk about it If I thought I was going to death, if I thought I was going to what people deemed as hell, and so someone's going to do something to me physically to have my spirit be held accountable for whatever. Yeah, I'm talking about why I walked through life, how I walked through, why, when I see my boy and I'm like yo, what's up, man, and whatever he's really decided to do, that's positive, real talk. I'm about seeing black positivity. Yeah, until you rub me the other way, you think I'm sweet, you think I'm a sucker and I'm just like. That's the furthest thing I don't understand, yeah, I don't get.
Speaker 4:Where did you get that from? You know what I'm saying? It's all good, because I wanted to give you mad props about you being outstanding and you being on your game about to. You're trying to throw a weakness Exactly, and as black men it's like, why would you do that? Every other nationality is far more fitter stand together.
Speaker 2:They stand together. That's the mentality amongst us. Yeah, it's like yeah, we don't have a mentality of united or being a nation. You know what I'm saying? We have a mentality Back to what he was saying Back to what O was saying.
Speaker 4:Back to the essence of it all. The bottom line is listen, I function on this plane, on this earth, which I believe the hell is on earth. Real talk. Um, in the short life I've been on this planet, it's my duty right now to be morally conscious of how other people feel and how I maneuver through life. I really tried my best. Even when I spaz out, I try my best to really see why I went wrong at. And that's it, bro. That's it.
Speaker 4:When I say I'm going down, I can't slide through, I can't still two or three hours and sleep in the car and get away with it. I can't do that. You're not going to slide, you're going to go down. You're like where the hell are you going? You ain't talking to me about that shit you did in 92? Oh, you used it for that what? It's not going down like that. You're going to be held accountable. You're going to be held accountable on a certain level. You're going to have to really, oh, you know, however you communicate and they're going to be verbally talking no, I mean because you're in a spirit form, but it's going to be a level of communication and understanding and whatever that accountability is going to be, whatever that consequence for those accountability is going to be. That's what it's going to be. I think I come to terms with that. Okay, you're going to hell man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. Oh, you feel him, you get it. Oh do and don't.
Speaker 3:I understand what he's saying now. Yeah, that's saying that he wasn't talking about what I thought he was talking about, but I understand his point of view.
Speaker 2:He said it. He said it.
Speaker 3:It's down me to accountability. So I understand that. I just thought the word was just you know, I don't know You're going down like physically For me, but it fit for him. So he understood what he was talking about.
Speaker 4:I saw his eyes coming. Listen, let's be realistic. Here's the thing about this is the shit that I really be kind of like they be like, you know ready be bugging you. And I'd be like, yeah, because a lot of niggas is not understanding I'm fighting every day to be 100% accountable for my motherfucking actions. All of them, all of them. A lot of niggas don't want to address all of them. No, yeah, exactly, niggas get away with the most. If you really even the light shit you get away with in one month, in 30 days, you know it wasn't something is what was needed to be done as a man, right, that was a justification and it worked. Right, and you move forward. And at 130 days, if you was held accountable for morally or a high moral standard of what was in the laws of the universe and what was, you know what was this kind of Dean like, you know, kind of universally sound, you know you would have to answer for some shit.
Speaker 2:You know, you know you would move differently and 30 days. In 30 days you'd have to answer for some shit. You know you would have to move differently because you would be held accountable and all you're doing is working.
Speaker 4:All you're trying to do is hold your family bus move and you work it. But yo, 30 days, guarantee you if someone had, someone came down, some mystical person came down with a fucking, imaginary fucking roller decks and pulled that shit open, see, and the tall ran back with the fuck. You did. That was wrong in 30 days, nigger, you play all day, you really? That's what I'm talking about. A lot of things, don't get that deep.
Speaker 2:The moral compass that others don't see, one between you and the Lord himself. Exactly. And, if you want, are you supposed to take a 30 minute break today, but you went ahead and took 33, three minutes, stealing motherfucker.
Speaker 4:Yeah, no, no, no, you shouldn't get it. It shouldn't be that brutal.
Speaker 2:I don't think, but I'm just holding it to the highest possible standard. You know what I'm saying. Like I'm giving an example and then listen, I'm a nigga at the end of the day.
Speaker 4:So I'm like, listen, if I miss three minutes, we gonna miss me in three hours. Fuck you, same shit. You see, if you're gonna hold me to the fire for three minutes, then you know this is other two hours and fucking, 55, fucking minutes.
Speaker 5:I'm not gonna do nothing. Check it out, fuck you. You gotta check the temperature. Mix of water. Mix of water in my heart.
