00:00:00.000 |
I'm out here, man, middle of Manhattan, walking around. 00:00:07.760 |
I'm actually going to a AP store today, get my first, get my first AP. 00:00:13.660 |
I got a bunch of rollies, but I ain't got no AP, so I'm about to go cut my first one. 00:01:10.540 |
But I'm excited to get my first AP, for sure. 00:01:43.220 |
Hey, Andrew, can you introduce yourself real quick? 00:01:49.980 |
We're going to show you how Brooklyn gets down. 00:01:52.860 |
And those are some drippy white boys right there. 00:02:24.400 |
If I got cash on me, I'm always going to try to help out a brother like that. 00:02:57.520 |
It's sad because, like, we've seen him reaching in the trash can and getting the peanut butter and jelly. 00:04:07.740 |
What's crazy is I grew up vegetarian, so I didn't even eat steak. 00:04:12.860 |
I probably started eating steak like a year or two ago. 00:04:15.260 |
So I'm going to taste it, pause, and see what it's talking about. 00:04:36.400 |
Man, I want to get the people's opinion on this. 00:04:39.440 |
We in here shopping for some little bags, but do y'all think these are purses? 00:04:54.200 |
We ain't here in Bottega looking for some little bags. 00:05:16.060 |
I'm going to save money and stay out of trouble. 00:05:24.160 |
All right, Yvette, what y'all be charging for them joints? 00:05:27.820 |
But $20 is my lucky number or $100 is my dream. 00:06:05.540 |
We about to get a chop right now for my boy EZ Tel Aviv Cut. 00:06:23.560 |
I've been really taking it serious, probably. 00:06:35.780 |
The thing is, with cutting hair, with all the different hair textures, you can never be precise. 00:06:50.460 |
Honestly, bro, I just interviewed, I interviewed different people, you know. 00:06:56.040 |
A lot of athletes, when they have podcasts, they only interview athletes. 00:07:01.720 |
And for me, like, I'm trying to touch every lane of life, so. 00:07:07.120 |
Get perspectives of things I'm interested in. 00:07:12.180 |
And basically, whatever I'm curious about, I'm curious about a lot more than just. 00:07:18.980 |
So, I'm interviewing, like, bro, I had, like, an ex-FBI agent on there who worked all the 00:07:27.260 |
undercover cases that he couldn't talk about. 00:07:28.840 |
I had a porn star on there to talk about how she got into that. 00:07:31.700 |
I had a girl on there who got, um, who had got trafficked one time. 00:07:40.960 |
I'm trying to, I've had, like, pastors on there talking about different things. 00:07:44.220 |
I'm just trying to touch every lane of life and things that I'm interested in, so. 00:07:49.220 |
Yeah, because, you know, it's a rare thing for an athlete to do. 00:07:54.280 |
You know, a lot of people don't see athletes interview anyone outside of that. 00:08:00.800 |
And honestly, what happened was, I felt like on Twitter or, like, Instagram or as an athlete, 00:08:08.080 |
like, if you, people, things get taken out of context. 00:08:11.000 |
So, what happened to me was a couple things came out that kind of got taken out of context. 00:08:16.500 |
I tweet, I used to be on Twitter, like, if you tweet something, people can perceive it 00:08:22.360 |
And so, I came up with the idea of having a podcast to where, like, if people really want 00:08:26.760 |
to see what you're about and what you're talking about, go watch the full form of the podcast. 00:08:30.740 |
Even though they still take little clips and they, they, they edit it out, you know. 00:08:34.980 |
But still, like, if you, if you take the time to go watch the full thing, it's there for 00:08:43.980 |
I definitely got misunderstood a couple times and that made me feel like, man, I'm off this 00:08:49.880 |
I want the long format, being able to talk about certain things. 00:08:55.560 |
Because I feel like, nowadays, everything is scripted. 00:08:59.180 |
Not only that, but if you have an opinion that differs from what society says is the right 00:09:05.260 |
way of thinking about things, you're kind of canceled. 00:09:07.060 |
Man, so I wanted to open up a lane for, like, people to have an open, honest conversation. 00:09:11.440 |
And it's coming from a place of, like, humility and curiosity and not just, like, right, I know 00:09:29.640 |
Got any last message for the people watching, man? 00:09:35.240 |
I just want to say whatever it is that you're good at and you're doing it, stay consistent. 00:09:59.800 |
If I make over 7 out of 10 threes, y'all all owe me $100 and I'm going to leave the cash 00:10:06.300 |
If I make less than 7 out of 10, that mean I owe, like, 10 of y'all $100. 00:12:48.960 |
Their basketball shoes have gotten better and better and better. 00:12:50.960 |
But right now we're here to shop for some lifestyle stuff. 00:12:54.960 |
Shorty just came up to us and said we got 5k to spend on the Puma Ambassador card. 00:12:59.960 |
So we're about to go crazy with the Puma drip today. 00:13:02.960 |
Going to take care of my guy Sean behind the camera. 00:13:08.960 |
Let me put my camera away so I can really get busy. 00:13:16.960 |
I leave him in the dust and stack bread cause I'm moving things. 00:13:19.960 |
Speed reached a new high when I started removing things. 00:13:22.960 |
I had to drop the baggage out the plane before I flew a wing. 00:13:34.960 |
I know like what made them collab with Squid Game. 00:13:48.960 |
He got the kicks with the Namias collab fire. 00:13:58.960 |
I just don't know if it's a little weird if I rock his kicks cause that's Lil bro. 00:14:27.960 |
Just got done at the Puma flagship store out here in Midtown. 00:14:28.960 |
You know I got the weekend off so we had to do a little shopping. 00:14:41.960 |
Like I said I've been with Puma for 7-8 years now. 00:15:08.960 |
It's my second baseball game I've ever been to. 00:15:15.960 |
You know I've been rocking the Yankees ever since I was a JIT. 00:15:41.960 |
The dude at the bat is the dude who plugged us with the tickets. 00:15:55.960 |
Hey Nick you've been coming real drippy lately. 00:16:57.960 |
So they don't have to like show up super early. 00:17:04.960 |
Like they still do like their warm ups and stuff like that. 00:17:56.960 |
We would be playing against the Knicks and you would have to wear a Nets shirt. 00:19:47.960 |
I got this chicken and fried rice bowl with the yum yum sauce. 00:19:58.960 |
Man, where are y'all ranking the sporting events in terms of enjoyment and going to the games? 00:20:26.960 |
For me, I think that basketball is definitely the most fun. 00:20:34.960 |
Then I'm going baseball, then football, then soccer. 00:20:40.960 |
I think baseball is dope because you just get to chill at the game. 00:20:54.960 |
The dudes outside the arena is trying to finesse us. 00:21:08.960 |
He's getting us for the low because this other dude tried to finesse. 00:21:13.960 |
I'm out here one week and people are always trying to finesse me. 00:21:17.960 |
The kids on the street charging $100 a shirt. 00:21:31.960 |
After I've been moving around a little bit, seeing different sites, doing different things. 00:21:38.960 |
And I'll definitely be going to more Yankees games because we came to the suite.
