GIANNI RUSSO was born in Manhattan in 1943 and raised in the then close-knit Little Italy, and later Rosebank, Staten Island. After reprising Carlo Rizzi in a brief flashback scene at the end of The Godfather Part II, Russo acted in more than 46 films, including Goodnight, My Love (1972), Lepke (1975, as Albert Anastasia), Laserblast (1978), Chances Are (1989), The Freshman (1990), Side Out (1990), Another You (1991), Super Mario Bros. (1993), Any Given Sunday (1999) and Seabiscuit (2003). Russo claims that he started a fledgling career in organized crime working as an errand boy and mob associate for Frank Costello as an adolescent but later abandoned the dangerous and volatile lifestyle of organized crime. The Staten Island Mafioso Tommy Bilotti was reportedly best man at Russo's wedding. Since the beginning of his acting career, Russo owned a Las Vegas restaurant called Gianni Russo's State Street at 2570 State Street on the Las Vegas Strip (closed in 1988), and reportedly defeated 23 federal criminal indictments on a variety of charges stemming from alleged organized crime associations. Russo is also a singer. In 2004, he released a CD called Reflections that pays homage to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Russo owns a wine brand, Gianni Russo Wines, which debuted in 2009. In 2019, he published his memoir, Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob.

In 1981, Rita Marley's brother Leroy Anderson aka Lepke launched the Dread Broadcasting Corporation (DBC), Europe's first dedicated black music station. Frustrated by the lack of airtime for reggae music in the UK, Lepke setup a mast in his back garden and began to broadcast to a small area of West London every Sunday afternoon. DBC soon expanded to cover all styles of black music and with its unmistakable logo featuring a dread with headphones and a spliff became a trailblazer for the future of black British radio in the UK. Neil Meads speaks to former DBC station manager Michael Williams about the early days of the station, and DJ Carmella Jervier explains how inspiring it was to finally hear black female DJs on the radio.

Rich Cohen is an American non-fiction writer. He is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone. He is co-creator, with Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter, of the HBO series Vinyl. His works have been New York Times bestsellers, New York Times Notable Books, and have been collected in the Best American Essays series. In 2022, Cohen became a columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Given his expertise on so many subjects, we asked him to impart some of his knowledge about a particular historical phenomenon: 21st Century Jewish-American Mobsters. His fascination with Jews in the mafia and his father's upbringing inspired him to write 'Tough Jews'. When people think of Jews, they don't usually associate it with toughness (except for maybe Israelis). There's a misconception that the Jewish-American mobsters of the last century were the accountants or the "brains" behind La Cosa Nostra (the Italian mafia), but in reality, they were often the muscle. Learn about Murder Inc. and notorious Jewish criminal masterminds such as Rothstein, Lepke, Lansky, Segel, Schultz, and more. Cohen explains why Jews and Italians worked so well together, leading to the creation of 'The Commission', which turned territorial rival gangs into an organized crime syndicate that spanned across the US and beyond. We wondered why the children of Jewish gangsters didn't join "The Life," yet the sons of Italian gangsters followed their fathers' footsteps — and Mr. Cohen offered insights that'll surely pique your curiosity. The allure of "The Life" is understandably very strong. In a strange way, it's similar to being part a religious community (as crazy as that sounds), in the sense that it requires its members to live by an unbreakable Code, to follow rules that supersede the law of the land, to have a deep sense of loyalty and care for family and community. The story of the Jews is that of triumph over tragedy, which is the definition of "tough." Enjoy these lesser-known stories of Jewish history.

Tonight I read ten essential poems from the American poet, Robert Lowell (1917-1977). They can all be found in his Collected Poems. His letters are collected in The Letters of Robert Lowell, Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop & Robert Lowell, and The Dolphin Letters, 1970-1979: Elizabeth Hardwick, Robert Lowell, and Their Circle. It's been a while, but I remember enjoying Paul Mariani's Lost Puritan: A Life of Robert Lowell. · Memories of West Street & Lepke (from Life Studies, 1959) · The Public Garden (from For the Union Dead, 1964) · For the Union Dead (from For the Union Dead, 1964) · History (from History, 1973) · Bobby Delano (from History, 1973) · Anne Dick I. 1936 (from History, 1973) · For Robert Kennedy 1925-68 (from History, 1973) · Marriage?

You get caught on skid row filming nowadays what happens scan. So then we get mad, right? So anyway, he's like, look, you can come in, but you can't bring the.So I just, I got, so I walked out the 10 and nobody goes, Hey, did you get any dope out of that tent? And I go, yeah, he goes, man, two guys just passed out on the fed died or something. And I was like, well, you know, I'm, you know, maybe I got problems though. All right. So hold on. Sorry. All right, listen, that's true.Esteban, uh, the Cyprus tell us the high point of working on the Cypress hill documentary and exactly what are it, what is the subject matter besides Cypress? So what are you actually capturing? Yeah, man, I'd say the high point is finishing it. And, uh, um, what was the second part? What, what is it about all that it's about, uh, 30 years of their career?Um, you know, uh, in the beginning we tell a little bit of the story of where they all came from. Uh, Sen dog came from, uh Goolwa and then Bobo was a. He's Puerto Rican, but I think his family came from the east coast and landed here in LA mugs was from New York. Then he later on came to LA and be real, was born and raised here in LA.And then, uh, the way they all met up and how they did the group, you know, put the group together and shop the deal. And, you know, from there on, it was just, you know, like a snowball and when, so we're now in a new era of kind of like filmmaking, I think, where it's not right. So when Showtime time, or how did that project come together?Well, um, well, I've been, uh, trying to do this project for maybe 10 years and, uh, it took Ella originals to bring it back to me or bring it to me because, uh, you know, I think the homeys probably thought like, ah, Maybe I could do music videos, but maybe not, you know, pull together on a full, full feature movie.I know for a network. And so they had other people in mind and uh, other people working on it, but that didn't work out or those guys didn't come through. Right. So, uh, Ellie originals came out and, and they were like, Hey, what do you think about, you know, maybe you working on the document. I was like, you know, it sounds a good idea to me.Right. And, um, you know, just got right back right back to it. And, uh, it feels kind of like, um, my original idea would be to do like a four-part series. Like a Jimmy I've been in Dre did, uh, the defiant ones kind of like do that, but on the solar Sassons cause you know, we have, you know, so much, so many different people in our group, in our crew that.Uh, you know, there, there they're artists that are, you know, go, go through all the different forms of art from music to film, to, um, fashion and then art film and video. So we got people in all those different realms of art, and I thought it'd be cool to do a documentary from there. And then, because there wouldn't be enough time to tell all the stories, then we break it off and go into individual stories like Cypress hill, meaning cartoon, um, the house of pain, you know, like, uh, uh, the rest of the crew, you know, the, the dilated peoples and the funk dubious.And, you know, there's a chasing Cron, Don, you know, there's a lot of different, uh, you know, uh, there's James Khan, the hooligans with, uh, I mean, uh, Scottie con and Al you know, Scotty's James concert. Right. So, you know, that there's that big, uh, uh, you know, big, how would you say, uh, like they, they left a big mark in the film industry, right.In film and in TV. And then, uh, you know, they're calling alchemists one of the greatest producers alive, you know, those years. So yeah. You know, our crew goes deep into every different, uh, form of art. And, um, and I also got members that are kind of like part members from other groups. So you got these, like the Rizza you don't, or like their part soul Sassons kind of too, right?Yeah. I mean, you know, mugs did albums with pretty much everybody in, and he's done remixes for, you know, huge people and, uh, also too. Anyways, well that didn't work out, you know, doing it that way. So we, we went to, we did LA originals and so I feel kind of like, this is kind of like part two, but, you know, we're, we're moving up to right where I wanted to start.Right. But it's going, it's going the opposite way, but it's still, it's still delivering you a place that you're able to tell all the stories that you want to tell. Yeah. You're the one that can only tell those stories. You want to be able to get them out. This is heading that direction it's still on is I would say maybe more than 10 years that he's been talking about multiple documentaries, this in particular Cypress hill souls, but there's a bunch of things you've been talking about for a long time and, you know, but I think it's also jumaan if you were there, like maybe some of us are there, this is the ultimate example of.Letting go and not trying to force somebody to do something your way and to just back up, let go, and just continue doing your craft. Yeah. And eventually, you know, even with people that are close to you, sometimes they need to see it in different way to be receive it. You know? And I think what he's talking about is really what happened.Well, LA originals drops and people that he's, you know, two seconds from now are seeing him at different light, just because it's been brought to you through Netflix. Another thing that I want to kind of like point out is that Esteban's been focused on this thing for like decades. Right. And in, in, in, in w when you're sitting there like chilling with your friends and stuff and talking about bullshit project, Well, that's the one that's been focused on is almost a no brainer when you pitch it, you go like, well, what about a documentary about Cypress hill?Or what about LA originals? Meaning cartoon, right? That's a no brainer. Like you don't really no brainer now. No wait, but wait, but what I'm saying is, is that it's a no brainer even five years ago, really? For us. Yes. For us. Yes. But the point of the matter is, is that it's a project that anybody, it makes sense.And then, but Esteban's been on it for a long time. So what happens is I've experienced this even with just talking to U S Devonta, talking to people that are around us, I've experienced situations where people are like, all right, let's make this film tomorrow. Right. Right. And then, uh, Esteban's like, yeah, it doesn't necessarily work that way.Yes. Right. Do you understand what I'm saying? Oh, there's people that have been in something maybe four or five, six years. Right. And they're frustrated because they want the thing made already. And it doesn't go like that all the time, man. I'm all the time. Mostly doesn't go that way. And so, and so I don't have a lot of experience with it.I know you step on that and I know you do because I've seen it time and time again, person just sees somebody on fricking Netflix or whatever, and they think like, oh, so we can just make that tomorrow. They don't realize the thing that hit Netflix is 10 years in the making 20 years or in the making. So that's the one, I mean, you've got a very, um, I would say crafted style about your persona and you don't, um, just stipulate, outrageously or yell necessarily.And people around, you got all these brilliant ideas that you've already thought of and tried to get them excited about 10 decades ago. And now they're coming to you. Like it's a new idea. How do you remain so Zen about it? Is it the facial hair that kind of has a Japanese twinge to it? Or how do you do it?Um, I would just say, I just keep it moving. You know, I get up every day, hit the sun on the ice and think about while I'm there. That's about an hour and a half, two hour, a little ritual I do every day. That's when I think about what I'm going to do for the rest of that day. Um, you know, of course I think about all the shit that I have coming in the future, but for the most part, I just think about today, you know, cause we all know, all we have is today, yesterday's gone.Tomorrow's not here yet. So I just focus on today and, and the bigger picture, but, um, you know, fucking there's, there's never enough time in the day for me, that's for sure. And uh, I got a lot of, you know, I was looking at this, I was looking at this, uh, at this trailer. From Elliot original started off as a project called Inc the movie.And I'm looking, uh, it was 15 years ago that we put that trailer up on the, uh, up on YouTube 15 years ago. Yeah. Hold on. That's whenthat's, when, uh, you know, that's when that's, when somebody put that up on YouTube, but that was when that was that late originals. Right. And, uh, the, uh, a friend of ours, Sebastian Ortega, the one who, uh, you know, locked in that deal, he came and he was like, Hey, man, I want to do, or I want to do ink, you know?And, um, you know, of course we had to change it cause they molested the fuck out of that word, in that industry. We, we, you know, uh, we put it together and came up with LA originals and, um, Hey, how did you come up with the original song? It was really easy. Um, it was, uh, it was, you know, a bunch of homeys sitting around, um, and, uh, was, it was me and, uh, Adam and the homie Bobby, and, uh, maybe one or two other people.And we were just throwing around names and Adam violet Brown's son, he came up, he he's like, well, why don't you just call the LA originals? And they're like, yeah, why don't we? And then we pitched that to, to the, to the team and everybody loved it. And we went with that. Um, and if it fit perfect, cause it's like, not only is it me and cartoon, we were born and raised in LA and, but the whole movie is about LA.We've done in LA and about LA around the world. So it was like that shit just locked in perfectly. And, um, I forgot where I was pulling it out perfectly. Yeah. And that's kinda what brought this people needed to see that all happen. Oh, you talked about it because people just think that it's made just like, but now, now that we're kind of in the zone of LA originals and a little bit of the putting together.I think another thing that's, uh, is interesting is that big lap right. Was in LA originals. Uh, and now I am famous deep in it, deep in it. And now here he is famous. Right. And, um, what are your observations where he was and where he is now putting you on the spot as the Vaughn, don't be waving your hand.Yeah. And unconscious unclench your fist. No one's doing, you were just on the show a week ago or whatever it was and it's already played. So whatever anyone heard in that shows what they heard. Hold on. I'm sorry. I just want to ask you, Hey listen, go ahead. Go ahead, please. Certain things that him and I know outside of this microphone and the thing that I don't, you know, like, like go here, whatever, is this a fucking meeting or is it a show about this, bro?You tripping. It's a scare. You, it does it scare. You do whatever you gonna to do wrong. I'm just, I, listen, this is a longtime friend. He's tried to quit winking. No, because the last time I fucking talked to him, this is my I, every time I get I'm getting blown out of the water. And now you got usyou were talking about things. We just got them to go hunting, but this part of it. Yeah. But like I got my son on here listening to him. I said, look, can we justyou to go hard on me? I ain't tripping on that. I just tripping out. You know, like, no, no, no, no, no. Don't tell the truth. No, no, no. As Davon knows how to be prudent. This is a man that's man, longer than you think. So. What does that mean? What did he say? And prudent. Fuck his mother running everybody over the you ain't fruit and bro, look at this.There's a whole lot. Cause it's like quiet dude. Do whatever fucking duct tape Smitty and throw him in the back. Don't distract us with Schmidt. Now he's waving a red flag. What was the first question? The question was Esteban. You've known him a long time and we saw. Uh, I think maybe challenges that, um, big lip was facing in LA originals.And now here he is. Um, are, do you have any observations or concerns or thoughts about, um, welcome back dreaming only on peacock. Can't wait to start junior year saved by the bell is back and taking school spirit. Our Bibles just destroyed our mascot. We're going to crush valley to the max. If we don't learn from the past, we are doomed to repeat it.Reboots of teen Charles, from the nineties, you had a new idea. Hollywood saved by the bell new season screaming. Now let's do this baby only on peacock. Uh, he's still going through the same challenges, you know, like we all, we all do all have been, um, you know, at any second, any one of us could. Go left when we should be going.Right. And, uh, yeah, we always, we all got one foot on a banana put on life, you know, so it's like, you know, anything could happen at any time. And, um, you know, I see a lot of my friends going through struggles and challenges and, and pulling through it. And then, uh, there's some that haven't, you know, recipes of my homie Egypt, he passed away.Um, you know, there's a, there's a bunch of, you know, we've all lost a bunch of friends and family members due to, you know, everything that's going on right now. Um, but I see him left, uh, you know, he's, he, uh, everybody has a 50 50 chance that everything with everything, you know, it's like, what do you think the chances are?You're getting you doing this or that 50 50 that I'm going to where I'm not, you know, so. Um, there's no guarantees and there's no, uh, you know, for sure things. So it depends on, uh, you know, however much work you put into it. That's what you get out of it. Sure. So I take them in order. Um, um, I feel like LEP, well, let me put this way.There was a period of time where I felt like lip was putting in a lot of work. Right. And then all of a sudden, it seems like the work's not there. I was saying, put in the work, you get the results. You don't put in the work and you don't get the results. Half of the work and half Hashem, you're going to get some FAFSA shit.If you want to like visually, like, if you want to ask the question, like, do you feel that you did black lacked on the worker? You're like, bro, I think I lacked, lacked on a lot of other stuff. I didn't just get lazy, but I seen something that happened to me last night. You ain't got to do all that. You look good anyway.Stay in your lane anyway. So anyway,Yeah, it happened to me last night, you know, there was just like, just so much shit happening and that's, and that's, I was talking to somebody on the phone. They're like, you need to just fucking shut that door and worry about yourself. And maybe you're at a point in your life where, you know, you did what you had to do for those men, you know?And I started for me to like, have another individual telling me that, you know, but no, but wait a minute, you fell. But how about when, the way that the program works in like an honesty situation to where, even though I messed up for six months, like you keep looking at it, you know, like for fucking a long time, oh, well you weren't using in this picture.And I fucking, you know, swollen, I'm fucking swollen. I'm like I was three months in a run in this picture. So it takes a long time. It took me a minute in order to. So fuck shit up. And people were noticing that a real close to me there. They were like, next to me saying, is everything okay? And I'm like, sure.Everything's, you know, really in there. And I can see it in their face. Like even a step. I was like, no, everything. Ain't okay, motherfucker. I've known you. I've known you for so long. And then this dude next to me, by my, yeah, the homie right here next to me, he kind of knows what, I don't even look at peanut butter, but he's just hearing my voice.He was like, it was the fuck on me. Like you don't sound right. I know that voice. We know we both like, you know, I've never shot dope with you. How do you know my voice? He goes, cause I shoot dope and I know the voice. So what's going on. Can you interpret that, that we just got a long one as soliloquy from a big law.How do you, how do you interpret what he just said? Um, that, um, I would say that he knows what he, what he did. He knows what he's doing and he knows what he has to do. To get back on the right track. Now it's all about applying everything. He knows just your measure, which is that hard work that you were talking about.Right. You know, cause it, it ain't easy and, uh, you know, uh, He just got to get back to it and it's no secret, no big deal. But, um, but in a way there is, there is a secret because it hasn't reached certain levels in that thing to where I want it to be like, I want to go and just like, make the drastic announcements and do that.But at the same time, I also I'm preparing myself because they say that you have to be honest in all your affairs in what we practice. I practice the 12 step program. Yeah. But I don't, if I were here to suck, he was like, well, you haven't been practicing the right fucking way. None of this shit would have happened.I don't think maybe we just listened to my leaders. He's got 19they know something about not picking up exactly where I got that. Steve, I see you leaning in a certain direction. Right. And then I'm looking at you interpret things, you know, big, big left to what are you hearing? And big lips, you know, He's doing, he's doing better. He, and I think like left, like if someone said he knows what happened, right.And, um, and, and he knows what he has to do. I mean, he'd been knowing this information for a while now, but at the same time, you know, I think that it's, it's applying the information. Maybe it's in the way that you apply it. It needs to be applied maybe differently. The way that you're setting it up. A lot of times it and me the same way I come at sobriety and it lies.And then it falls apart. I guess I started looking at what I was building and I kept on building it unrealistic unsustainable way. Or, you know, like, I don't know. And I really doing the work. I don't know. Esteban did you, and with big, big Lux, right. And big Lux has been through ups and downs or whatever he struggled with.So do you see a similar thing with your friends where you're like, man, they're putting something together, but, uh, but why does it, sometimes it seems like the threads get lost or whatever it is and you know him for a long time. So yeah, probably all of them. I think all my, most of my friends are the same type of person.I don't know. It's weird. Uh, I think, uh, I don't know, but they're all super creative to make it's uh, like when they put their mind at something like a creative idea, it comes out, you know, real, it comes out sick, you know, what, what exactly what they were telling me, maybe even a little bit better and. It's it's a cool process to watch.This is not cool when you know that they're there in their lows and people are, you know, people are getting hurt and not, not like in a physical way, but feelings and shit like that. Yeah. That's not cool. Um, It's, you know, it's, it's been part of the story the whole time. It's part of all of our story and we all have been living it and it's, you know, it's all real life, you know?I mean that, that part of it's real. And when, when big LEP came through last week and he was talking about what he was going through, he, you got choked up a minute there. And I got to tell you mid showed up for like a weeks, man. Like it says, it's just like, if you see me up every day, like really like this one here, this one's heavy, you know, 'cause people hit me up.People hit me up that I don't even know right. People from Milwaukee. And they're like, I almost started crying. I cried when I heard big. And so this, this, this, I think about that. And I'm like, man, there's nobody, these two guys are still on big, big Lux and big Lackey. I've never seen it maybe in a few occasions, but these guys are beloved.Like in any scenario that they're in, they're creative, but also they're like, people love that. Yeah. Right. No, I trip out on that. Cause motherfuckers hate on me and I'm doing I'm fucking doing all my shit. Right? Like tell the Indian to shut the fuck up. I can just imagine if I fucked up, that'd be like trying to kill yourself.Right. Like, oh man. How about a typical day walking down sunset. They'll be like, people will stop me and be like, where's lucky yet. I'm like, eh, like he's people. He knows that. I don't know. Like, I don't know. He's like, um, when she went left, when, when they said, when I was talking about all my close friends, this is kind of what goes on.I started thinking about the group friends. It's like. Yeah, it is man. And the stem on is definitely the one is the, um, he's the, uh, what is it? The common denominator in these, right. So a lot of people close to him, we lost some of them along the way. You know, some never came back. Some are busted, some are out here trying to figure it out somewhere in a sober living and, and right.But they're struggling with this thing. And, and Estelle on is like the, in many ways been the anchor, right? I mean, he was right. He goes through all the shit. And so, and he does it without catching a lot of fucking, uh, attitude about it. And through it, he's dealt with good friends, telling a fuck you and all that shit.And he just fucking, then they come around and apologize. But I'm saying, me looking at all that we can, all that. I got to a place in my life where I wanted to stop. Like when the clock turns and it becomes the lucky show. Now everybody's scared. Lucky's fucking up lucky. I got sick of that time coming. And it being the lucky show again, like I'd rather be one of the glue pieces in this, right.I'd rather be the guy that doesn't disappear and that's not bad. I can able to do small chunks of that, but I haven't been able to do that for a long, consistent stretches. And I'm trying to be, I'm not trying to be, that's the guy I want to be today. That's just accountable and be there more like a Stevan he's one mandate for a long time with a bunch of different dudes.Okay. Something that I've learned from Estella. And I don't generally talk about learning from people because I'm a fucking know it all show off faster, but no, I don't. But one of the things that God's love is true, but one of the things I learned from Esteban is to respect. To respect the amount of time you stuck at something because maybe in the first five years, people might not have been, but Esteban has stayed with a certain thing for so long and been so consistent at it for so long that he's built up a body of work and material to break through certain barriers.And when people look at them and think like, oh, well this is just a, you know, overnight success kind of guy, or it's now it's the Latin turn for media. So will, so here's Esteban instead, it's more like Esteban did it when people believed in it, when they didn't believe in it, when they saw the value in it, they didn't see the value, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.He was there with a camera and his fucking crew day in, day out. And I take that. I actually apply that when I think about my firm, I think about that. I don't think like I haven't seen this guy ever stopped working. Right. But I'm talking about even on trips to Japan and Vegas. Like we could be walking down to go get breakfast in the morning.I an hour asleep and it's still going to be sticker and shit promoting your shit. Yeah. Every minute. I can't do that. I have to be able to unplug like some other shit get lost on switching, but he is doesn't matter. He's either answering email, putting shit away. Right. He's pulling out the stencil to hit the curb and like, why you're just having a conversation stopping from spray, painting the floor right here.But people are listening. Like, what do you mean you guys are still trading on the fucking so yes we are. I think, I think I was getting mad at it for a while. I was getting mad at it, but I was getting mad at the fact that for so long we were doing shit and nobody was getting it. Right. But at some point in time, you give up and you're like, this is, I don't care of anybody.This is just what w what I do. But I think that there was some idea maybe in a Stefan's head or somebody that Avengers. The brown or that is going to get an opportunity at this thing. And whoever kind of has been staying true to the game and collectively, and I think that that kind of happened when, when that did kind of show up our Stefan, he had everything to back it up.I mean, amen is, I mean, everywhere we go was being documented. A lot of shit was being documented, was always being photographed, man, everywhere. We have a development session right now with the master Esteban Oriel guys got fucking show on Netflix, Showtime, um, and a lot more coming. Uh, he, well, he's starting his own streaming platform called Esteban Oriel channel when rival HBO, Esteban Oriel channel,just poached paramount. No, no, no.he posts, he put. He knows hoax. Listen, can I talk, can I tell him, Hey man, poached, one of the executives from paramount, their league president is working for us tomorrow. Do you want me to take those or you want me to add 17 million to guilt? If you want to borrow money, buy oil. Okay. I need some juice.juice, juice, money. I was like, are you Andy? I'm happy that I'm happy. I'm happy. He got the deal with the studio. That's in my neighborhood.Guess what? All of a sudden that's the on your parking fees are going to go through the roof. We know you're going to put theI went the other day to them. Look, don't be coming. You know, causing trouble? No, you gotta be cool. All the free coffee you want a big left over atnine 11. everybody where we always want free shit, man. I don't think that I always want free shit, motherfucker. What are you talking about? I always try to give free shit. I should get you against free shit, man. You would just ask him for juice money as two seconds ago, that's go back to the development.Let's go back to the development. You got a creative genius and we're wasting congrat Hey car. Now what? Wait, wait, wait, can I ask the question different way from developing the shell? Um, you can ask Anthony, you can talk about that, right, please. So he says that, uh, Esteban was always doing stuff when no one knew like it was going to pan out.And I can't just say. It'd be unfair to say that, that, um, there wasn't, it was cartoon. It was a stab on that. And, and, and the whole look, and the whole thing was, was being done and nobody was, nobody wanted to fuck with it. Everybody's scared of it. Nobody gave him any credit. Like that was the majority you guys have this whole thing, nobody getting it and leaving it.They had to go to Japan to do the first, there are two of their photo and his drawings because nobody here wanted it monitoring. But later years later, when I'm saying, it's like, oh, that shit is where the whole everybody went to. And I used to be burned out about it. I used to be like, man, these motherfuckers wouldn't listen.You know, like we've been showing them that shit forever. But as the, on his remained, not that guy, he doesn't do that type of shit. He just stayed cool. Because when you're holding four ACEs, you can have patients in a poker game. Right. But when you really do have it, you ain't tripping and he really has it.Right. Did you always believe that it was going to pan out of that? Um, yeah, just a lot faster. I thought I was gonna, I thought she was going to go through, but then I was like, so invested that I couldn't quit. I was like so deep in it. I was like, I'm not pulling out now. Remember it, remember, listen, you know what I'm saying?So it's like we met when he talked about LA originals, when it finally came through and it looked like it was going down south by Southwest and then COVID hit or something hit. And it was like everything, every little daydream that you were having was just getting smashed and you think you broke through it?Bam. And it even ends up that it, it was right for it to go down. But this is why, now that we, now that the gas is in the car here, now that I'm choking on his fucking corner. And now that the gas is in the car and we've got a development, hold on, developmental genius here. That's the one. Why don't we, why don't you think about what would you.Okay, because we know gold. What would you do to create either a docu-series or even a show around big Mac key? What would it be called? How would you approach it? What would it be? All of a sudden left peace, quiet as a mother fucking church, right? I'm talking about church hill Butler, no church house mouse.Now forget that. Let's get back to your shows. It's trying to make a star out of you. Let's go. Well, wouldn't be as like one of those, um, continuing continuous showers. Yeah. What would it be more like? Um, it'd just be a straight out documentary. Like I have a sizzle reel that I did of, of and another one about DACI.Cause, uh, I've thought like those would be cool. Little breakaway stories from LA originals and those. Two stories outside of me and cartoon that got a lot of response. A lot of people gravitated towards those, those guys. Yeah. Because you know, I mean, they both been through a lot of shit. Right. And, um, that's what I was telling.Lipkey the other day I was like, amen. About a year ago was the best I've ever seen you, you know, in, in the 20 something years that I've known you, you know, you have the five years clean, you're managing all those, you know, sober livings. You're the manager, your house, you were going to school to get your, um, what's that thing called the, the counseling for drug and alcohol addiction.You got one level, but you got to go to level to where Smitty's actually got to do the homework and then he'll go to the next level. Yeah. Maybe he's just trying to get some frequent. So I was telling him I've never seen. Better than this should've been. Yeah. But this true, you are the healthiest in, in physically that I've ever seen him.My healthiest in his head, he was helping, you know, a lot of people all around the world that were getting at him because they saw him in LA originally, it was like, Hey man, it's building up a following. Yeah. W you know, you, you inspired us a lot. And, and I have the same type of issues that look like that you had in that, in the documentary, you know, what can I do to change?And he was helping a lot of people that were just getting at him through Instagram. And, you know, now it's like a worldwide nationwide thing. It wasn't just, he was helping people in LA cause before he's. Yeah. He, you know, when he'd get clean and sober, he'd help people in LA that are, you know, in direct contact with him.But now because of social media and all. He's branched out worldwide, you know, so I think the, uh, the, that, uh, a documentary on him and his whole story with would be inspiring to a lot of people. I agree. And, um, and I have a lot of footage of him, you know, in the dark places and, and in the light. And, um, that's what I'd tell him, man, because of my age, we should film this shit, you know, that you're doing, he was like, why do you want to feel now when you know, I don't, maybe I don't want people to see, you know, me doing that kind of shit.Homie. That's the shit that gets people's attention and you're doing it anyways for no reason. Right. So why don't we do it? And then with a reason, you know,no, there's a reason you're doing it, but there's no, there's nothing coming out of it. Except you just going deeper into the shit, going deeper in the rabbit hole. So there's, you know, uh, something positive out of it. Right. What I'm trying to say. Right. Getting all the negative out of it. That's for sure.But you know, why don't we document a little bit of it and get something positive out of it for later? You know, I don't even like doing it. Like I, I'm not, I'm not cool with watching my homie do fucked up shit to himself. Right. But I will throw myself, you know, on the fire, uh, you know, to, to get that shit.You know, for the, for the project overall. Well, the shaker getting the story. Right? Right. So, uh,you're good with all that rightnow. So this is what he says in rebuttal. That whole Sherm would look like a glazed donut. Okay, go ahead. Well, again, again, listen, listen. This is what are we using? Wait, what'd you say lip? I have your first.Okay, so we're at the . Hey, Hey, here we go. He's got a question for Smitty Smith.Everybody know you. Ain't gonna, somebody goes, Hey. Yeah, it was a problem with that thing. And then I got somebody else. I've got me go. That was one clip of you talking. I don't understand what you're saying. I hear that every day for hours circles,this is what I hear. I drove you to fucking LA you know, it's the true, like really? Because I've noticed a lot of things in my life that distracted a lot of individuals in that right there that ain't never going to stop. Like shiny. Good. Hold up. Thank you anyway. Right. Welloff and they all start firing off.anyway. No, no, no. Personally, I learned a lesson. Imagine if you died, that's what you'd be hearing all the way up. You'd be like,let me know when you're ready. Look, bro. Look, bro. Remember the baby, right? He wouldn't do it.where's the baby Ray who was here? He was doing and doing the fucking back arms. Yeah. I love sweetie. We're going to go look for baby. I need it. I'll give you his phone number. You can go right there, here, Smith. He's got something to say. She made a, what do you have to say? Chocolate shop? Yeah. Yeah. I heard, I heard that Jan Sussman is doing a documentary, this street of streetwear.Yeah. And he said they already did one of those. Right. That's what I heard, but they didn't get all the right people. Yeah. But, uh, Jan's doing one says that he's going to be getting you on talking to you and, and talking about some of that stuff. What, uh, what's going on with the stem on Oreo apparel right now.And, uh, and what's going on with joker brand brand coming back slowly? Is it wasn't? Yeah, like, like everything, I never quit anything and I, uh, just keep doing, you know, consistent. I still have a, I still have a joker Europe. Right. Going strong a long time. Yeah. Tim out there and joker Europe does everything, right?Like as far as, uh, the way he does shit for the brand. Um, for so many years, I had a fight with all of our partners, you know, that the Chinese investors and the Israelis, and it was always a struggle, you know, I always had to like, uh, you know, plead my case with them when they didn't know shit about what I was trying to do or anything.So it was like, I was always hitting a brick wall with every, everybody that we, you know, ever worked with. So now it's just me, you know, I. And I have Tim over there in Europe, he's doing it. He knows exactly what to do exactly how to do it. And he does it perfect. The, you know, he does a little bit better than me because that's his main focus.That's all he has to do everything. He's not doing books or Henry's, or, you know, taco trucks or none of that shit. He's just doing joker Europe. Right. But, um, you know, for, for me here in LA, I shipped to, uh, uh, we have a guy in Thailand who distributes to us. We have a guy in Taiwan, a couple of guys in Japan, um, Canada, Sheila Peru.So, you know, I have, I still have, uh, you know, people all around the world, distributed it and selling it in a time where. Everything is online. We, I still have people, you know, getting it out there in their area, which is cool. And then, uh, you know, I do my thing here pretty much. I sell it in on, uh, at Brooklyn projects and Nixon, Myrtle in Highland park.I love LA. Yeah. I love LA sells. And Steven Oriel do incredible for me, you know, that I always, like, I used to go in there like five years ago and just be like, man, it'd be crazy to get my LA stuff in a, in a store like this, where it's LA base, you know? Wow. And somewhere where people can go in and really get the shit, you know, you might sell a lot of product to them in the best places, fucking the airport, you know, dude it's so it was really smart that they opened that place.Yeah. Wow. And they had, you're like your number one thing, right? They, I do good there. It's just cool that, uh, you know, I used to go in there and think that I should be here one day, you know, it should be in here. And then I saw like homeboy industries get the bakery there and, uh, earth cafe and all these different places.We're getting these spots, trail tacos, you know, like, you know, 10, 15, 20 years ago, you would never think any of that shit ever be in the, in the, in the airport. Wow. So when I finally, you know, this guy reached out to me to see like where I could, if I, if they could, you know, do something with me in that store that I love LA store.Yeah. I was like, man, fucking here it goes, you know, it's happening finally. And, um, he made that connection and the shit's been going great ever since in there, except during the COVID when the whole airport got shut. Yeah, right. Fucking Esteban Oreo joker print. It's not Joe, the books, the photos, the films.Right, right. And then your, all the other shit, but wow. So had stolen. You busy dog grinding for 20, this drops on HBO, right, man. Did I'm excited 30 years and watched the shit, your house or what? Oh yeah. Well, we're going to try and get a little, uh, screening going on somewhere for the homeys that we can all go and celebrate, you know, somewhere at a movie theater, where of course they let the homie smoke, smoke some weed.So Simon movie puts a little bit where they ever, that might be the spot where they do a brain dead. Right. Or, uh, you know, someone. Maybe when a Quentin Tarantino spots, but definitely, uh, I went and saw, uh, um, the song remains the same, the night that is Jimmy page's birthday. So it was a very January 8th at 12 o'clock at night specifically?No, the, the one on Beverly that's combining go to that and Beverly in the Brady theater. And so I went and watched it there. The owner was like, we're going to play it loud, you know, so you can really enjoy the music. But I mean, for me, I would, uh, order a little bit extra sound package, you know, cause, um, it wasn't loud enough and it wasn't clear enough.I wanted to hear that shit, like at a show, you know? Yeah. So I'm thinking like if we do something for the Cyprus project, you know, we definitely have to bring in a little bit of extra sound. So I know a guy you get to hear and feel that fucking, that shit. You know how a guy, oh, blue eyes is an audio engineer.So I think it'd be cool to do screenings for the home, man. That'd be awesome, man. You know, he could really be great, bro. What do you think? Oh, what is leptin? No, bro. What do you mean? No.What I will do is I collect the kitty. He wants to collect the kid, he at the end, and then what these fuckingshit doing, guys getting all bummed out. They DD big money comingin and out in, and the numbers don't change the format. Bull G Hey shit, motherfucker. Shoot mine. Yeah. What we're going to do? Okay. This is what we're going to do, man. What are we going to do? Are you going to eat a hot dog? When you go watch the movie eat a hot dog. Now my blood pressure goes up.my blood pressure. I just fucking sticks a mess up my ass. Damn.secrets. Oh, Hey, what's going on today is step one. It to the taco truck, the LA originals taco truck to this tennis tournament over there. And I want a religion tennis tournament. Yeah, we do it all. Hey dude, is that the Esteban Oreo open classic tennis tournament? No, not yet. We're working on that right now.Right? Is there anything you're not doing? Um, yeah, there's a light Oreo taco truck. Are you guys just popping up at special events right now? Yeah, me and Paige, we just roll up to the events that, you know, we know people get it. Cause I mean that whole industry that talk there, that the food truck shit is just a shit show.You know, there's like so much out there. Right. Many out there. And like you just, you just can't roll up and think like, oh, I got these pictures on the truck. I got good food. I'm going to make thousands today. You know, it's a hard thing to break, but we kind of found our niche to get us off the ground. And that is to go to a people, events that know us, they get it and they want us there.Right. So it's, you know, it's kind of, it's just the way that we're going with that right now. And we don't want it to be out. I think you have a great taco, great product. And if anybody has any inquiries that wants to really fucking jump into a big, nice restaurant deal with these guys, I think we're going to sell on Oreo LA original tacos should be a restaurant who did Kenny Rogers roasters.They're working with Esteban right now, trying to see if they can do a version of that with Esteban Oriel, with all that go for them. It went well. But what they want to do is do your. Copyrighted protected LA fingers image that everybody tries to steal. Right. And turn it into a dining experience. That's what I understand.Now I got to tell you guys to be honest and I, you know, I'm sorry. I don't mean to, but so hard, like talking to Esteban and then in behind us Davon, I see. . Just like twitching and twisting and he's smoking this gigantic, babe. And so like, Esteban's like, well, yeah, I was working on this thing in 10 years and finally like this, and then he's back there, like a little flipper, like he's like a little Manatee, like, like he's a little Manatee with little hands and it's a belly is an arm rest like a Simpsons character.He really does do it. It's kind of scary. It's like, uh, it said little bit, you said you were going to drive with us and we were still waiting on that. Hey, it'd be better if he went withHow about this? Cause I was thinking about it. I'm like, I think you should give, asked him on all access pass to your life, big lap to document it for time. . I would say let's do it because I liked the idea, dude. I'm telling you right now. See the movie where you need gas money. I don't need Jack shit. I am self I'm.Self-made super motherfucker. Let me tell you something. Leprosy the movie. You asked your question and then I let get the movie comments done. And now we are, we're sharing the movie. Okay. Share it. But I'm telling you right now, Esteban, I'm telling you this guy right here is one. Here's some wonder to build one in a zillion.That means that means that it's so weird. You know what? I'm going to tell you. This is my personal feeling. The reason why you listen, the reason why you're able to make the mistakes that you've made in your life is partially because somehow you have the blessing of, of charisma. Like people like you, they really like you.And everybody wants to see you do well. And it gives you a lot of room to make mistakes, bro. And you got big ass bumpers and you need this finally capitalize on it and finally respected. what would you make you feel? Who you make you feel that I'm not respecting myself doing what I know what to do? Well, we just talked about fucking tools.They're not sharp. So I'm taking advice. I got calling people love, like, and then my sponsor says you did the wrong call. You're supposed to cover it for you already. I was already loaded in my head. Way before I put any type of dope in me. I know you're not a psychiatrist. I am actuallyoh, I actually am. But, but, but let me just say something to you big for real, and this is on the real, all the joking aside and everything. I'm going to tell you for real, for me, and this is not really for everybody else, because I truly believe everybody's sobriety journey really is a particular eyes special onto themselves.Okay. I'm really serious about that. But I will say this, the one thing that seemed to things that seemed to give me longterm sobriety, I'll let, I'll let that pass is. Yeah, it's what it is, but here's the deal one. I made a decision in my heart that like, you know what, if I die sober, but I'm never financially celebrity, whatever successful in my life.That's still a success. Of course. Don't say, of course to me, brother just don't do it. No, no, no, no. Just listen to just take it in. Can you take something in for watch, besides, besides what we both know you took in when at one time we went crazy last time. All right, so that's one. Thank you. So, oh, I'm sorry.Just, it's not, it's not exciting enough for you, my friend, maybe if you listened, you be in a different situation right now. Robin asked me, I'm not asking you anything right now. I remember the situation I needed to be. Right. But I'm just trying to tell you the truth. One is it's a success. If I don't pick up and die and two, I don't pick up, I don't care about what's going on in my life.You can say whatever you want from your position, you are arguing. But are you humble enough? Don't give me that. Look, let me hear if I'm humble or enough, are you humble enough to actually take advice? That's destined to help you? That's why I'm here. Is that why you're here? I know you got, cause look, I asked Yvonne that man's is success.Look at us. He's in a success or role. Do you get him fucking no, I didn't say about I'm sorry. Can I talk to myself? Is that cool? You, I mean like all the DMS that I've been getting on you lately, but I'm used to being hated, bro. I don't even worry. I'm like, would you like being hated? Don't try to distract.Try to distract. I'm just saying, well, we've tried to talk to you and you got something specials. All I was trying to tell you, that's where I get a loaner because I always have all the answers that don't get me. No. Well, you know what I think too, I think too is like, you know, that you know, that people like a stamp on it taking ETA that dude take your time to shoot the, uh, your, your, you know, do the trailer on you and get you out there with your writing and bring you in the car, all that stuff.And then, uh, you know, people set up shit. And then when you give, when you go to decide to go get loaded, now, how about some kid going to be taking you? Don't be, you don't be thinking about what that man did. He's trying to set you up to win. And when you do that, it's that fuck. Cause we need you to feel like you're so far in this fucking thing, that you're part of the team now, so that time's going to come and you don't need to go out on the fourth floor.We need you in have everybody in a certain way. I'm not just sitting there, consider myself, have we all like, really realize in your own thinking that that to care for others and to care for yourself to maybe like somebody like got at me and they're like, you need to stop fucking caring for others and start caring for yourself or that this was talk.That's probably the case for you. Since you were 16 years old, he should've been . I only give a fuck about nobody. Yeah. You got to take care of, first of all, let's not get, let's not get killed. I'm saying let's not, let's not get confused on DMS from people they live in your life. Let, let the truth of the matter is is that you sh you have gifts that you should take seriously.And you're not, that's all I'm saying, right? That's really what I'm saying. You're not taking yourself. You're doing is. The pupil, right. It's fucking with people. Right. But, but, but see, but, but, but the issue is, and that's true, but, but let man, I'm talking about, when I talk to you sometimes when I'm being real, I can see that there's a wall where it's not getting through, I've taken this wall down and that's made me the reason why that I know my runner ability to the things that I could be comfortable and get away.One more time. I don't like living like that. I can't lay my head down at night knowing that I'm, you know, lying to motherfuckers and playing the part or you keep shaking them moving, man, I man, yes. Because a big luck, big Lux knows big Lux knows the shoe grind store. And he knows the whole thing. I'm not just saying, I'm honestly telling you that until you take your, with the bullshit.It's bullshit, bro. Yeah, man. Like, like yeah. Well you got to go, well guess what time? Once again, Smitty, you didn't get a shot. Listen. Big lap. My daughter's got ballet and she's got some great I'm going to come home. I love you. Big lap. I love you. And listen.

This is a sincere yes. Can I pray, dear Jesus, please help. And I mean this from the bottom of my heart, with all my energy. Please help. Esteban Oriel get a beer commercial, just like Mr. Cartoon, but like no Corona. No, no, no. But seriously, I prepped for you big lip on many, many, many, many, many, many positive energies to you.Big lab, as much as I like to joke and tease you, the truth is is that deep, deep down. I really believe that yes, something and you've already given a lot to the world and I hope that you can be open-minded and I hope people look out for you. And I hope that God puts his energy around you. And I hope that you can honestly face the truth in your heart.And I hope you can let yourself step up and be the adult man that you were destined to be not the boy, not the kid, not the jokester. The man, not just for you. But for everyone in your life that looks up to you and takes their instruction from what you do is so important. My brother. And so with that, I hope that whatever the universal powers are, they propel you on your way to success and positivity.Now, with that being said, I love you luck. Thank you guys. April 20th.

Do it shows I'm welcome. All right. I got lost. Where have you been? Oh man, three weeks, at least three weeks. The last time that we did a podcast, I want to get her a month. I think you've been living in about a hundred. I'm sure he, okay. I'm a little bit, I'm more confused than when we started talking to you.We also have covering as well. Oh yeah. The one and only the reoccurring, the greatest of all time, the one and only the never duplicated, never replicated. No man. The mountain, the legends. Mr.damn on me. I got the connection texting me right now. I'm letting him know I ain't going down.in the middle of all this, this motherfucker is like, how many do you want? How many do you need a trip? No, nothing. I got the connection. He's like, what the fuck, man? I haven't heard from you in two weeks. Like, you know, our camp, you, I don't know what it is. It's like, the way I respond is like, maybe not now, not now, but not today, but maybe not later either.Yeah, but, you know, put that on hold as a matter of fact, you know what, uh, and the dude needs some help, so I might help him. And I might not. Cause the last time I helped him, we both helped ourselves to a little bit. And you know, it was like, you know what, thank God, you know, I'm out of here by mistake. I didn't drive all the way over here to, uh, to, to, uh, to come over here and to judge shit, just to check in with the listener and let them know that, oh man, it's been rough, man.Uh, the 2022 is like a year that I would like to say that, uh, I wouldn't like to restart it or put it behind me because I learned from where I, where I'm at today and where I was yesterday and where I was last week to the following week to this week or whatever we go, we're going to, we're going to have to come in in front of me is the fact that man, I have to take life serious.Cause I've always told the listener that with the program that I run, that this follows me, you're on the menu, you know? And it's like, And death is something that I've been faced with this last few days. You know, it's like, you know, I'm, I'm the type of dude that, you know, if I, if I'm in, if I'm, if I'm doing anything, I'm doing it all the way, you know, I'm not just gonna fuck around and just go in and have a glass of Chardonnay.Yeah. You know, it's like my insight, whether or not I'm, I'm up here, like explaining anything of that nature, whether that happened or not. It's like, well, you just expressed that, that you got the connection texting you. Yeah. Well, the connection has been texting me for 58 years of my life. He might've been text texting me while I was in the fucking womb, you know?And it starts with that, you know, and then, you know, I just want to say, I thank God that I may be here today. I give all my, anything that has stayed, anything that you're going to hear today. I'm not going to get religious and I'm not going to get my, get a little bit spiritual on you. So if you're into some spirituality, spirituality, and the reasons why that I am sitting again, one more time in this seat this morning.And, uh, with the gentlemen that got me here to there, I'll just have to look at it like, oh, well, Smitty's fun to play with these fun, the crown, when he's fun to do a bunch of dumb shit with. But the fact of the matter is at the end of the day, he's also a real crazy. Yeah. You know, he got his ass over here and, you know, we're, we're, we're met with things in life that, um, that we're faced with everybody, not everybody in this room, man.I'm glad to be here. You know, I'm glad I was invited and I'm glad that I still have the opportunity to actually come and be here. Amongst all you gentlemen, not as a man, but as a true miracle in the eyes of know whatever you want to call it. You know, there's some people out there listening, you know, I got my boy, Mr.Cartoon. He might not like he approve of the word, the word God. And he might not approve of whatever, but he does the proven something that keeps him going. And that, that could be his job. It could be his whim, his wife, his children. And that's the, what things that, the important things that I needed to look at today, because I do have.That's very important to me in my life. And when I see my sons looking like they, ain't looking at me on the phone, on the little FaceTime and I see this kids eyes looking at me a little bit, like I've never seen that, right. It's I get away where I'm concerned about your dad. Like I'm a, as my mom, I'm going to turn 12 next month.And a, and I'm not that dumb. And I know you have a look on your face. Like you might be worried about something and for my son to worry about certain things today, when he's 11 years old and pinpoint shit that we could be, I'm only imagine that how would a child can pinpoint something of when they, of something that he sees in me that I'm, that I know I see in myself that he probably sees in myself and I'm just trying to figure shit out another day, but I did make it here this morning.And, uh, and I, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna take a few deep breaths, say a few little prayers because this, for the listener, I want you to know this is probably going to be, um, one of the hardest. You know, like just to be real, you know, it's like I made it and it was, um, yeah, I, I, you know, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you, you know, you face some fucking bullets and you've been dragged through the mud and you did a few, you know, you know, stairs penitentiary, you know, you've been faced with strikes, you've done this, you did that.You know, you know what the fuck to do. So like, you know, another, you know, like everybody's looking at it like, like, you know, you know, you, you're supposed to know, like, you need to just, we need to take you out in the alley and whip your ass a few times. That's how many times. You know, you need to think, you know what you're doing and you don't know what the fuck you're doing, man.Every time we leave, we, we, we put the reins in your hands to drive the horse, the horse fields off the track. And this happens time and time again. And I'm letting you know, like I'm not going to change nothing. There's only one thing I can change in that. And then if you think I'm going to change everything in a date year, two years, three years, six years, one day, two months, one more following moment.Fuck all that shit. All fucking man. But you know what? The fact of the matter is I made it here. I'm taking a lot of advice I'm doing, you know, but I'm not doing everything the way that I should be doing it. I'm doing it the way that I should be doing that guys of like this moment that I made it here and the listener that if you're out, down, I'm letting you know, man, if you're struggling, man, I get it.You know what? I'm going to let you know, you know, like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm open game, you know, you can get at me however you want. You know, I can get it. You know what I mean? I'm still back in the community. I don't stop. You're part of the community. You never left it, but I'm, I'm here, man. And I want to thank you to everybody.Whoever requested that they haven't heard, they haven't seen. You know, it's very important to me to know that I still hold some type of a, you know, a boundary to where I could come and, and express you. But this is probably going to be the most honest expression and that I have for you today, because I'm going to honestly come to this format and let you know that, um, yeah, my shit ain't together, you know, I I'm, you know who who's in actually come up here and go, Hey, everything's great.I got, oh, I got this going on. I got, they're going to have me. Everything's cool. Everything's smooth. Everything's got, you know, right. Not on any of that bullshit. No, man. It's like, I'm here to let you know that, um, what's going on with that giants man. Giants could come to the table, man. I'm a giant, you know, I come to the table and I'm gonna let you know that there's a giant second that, that have fought this thing, man, and have battled it and have, you know, actually stood strong on their own two feet and have one.But Smitty was telling me on the, over, on the way over here, right. When we got in the car, I go, look, man, we just, this could be a little bit, it's a little different way. We're going to have to go about this. We're going to have to get in there and we're going to have to let the listener know that, um, that, uh, everything isn't always going to be, what we're going to feel it's going to be.And that's always running to come with all these things that we're going to come and see all everything's cool. Everything's all right. Sometimes everything. Isn't all right, because part of what is, what would you tell him? I ain't gonna forget cause I fucking stroke. Please try to remember what you told me.Dig deep. You said something about, uh, What would you say? I'm glad you don't remember, because I don't even want to, I don't even know if he knows where he's at right now talking about no, no, no, bro. I didn't warn you about talking about shit, bro. I just told you straight out. You said something about when somebody hits a certain time when they do a, what it starts with an R read labs, what would you say the sentence?What was the sentence when you start relapsing too much or whatever, when you, you really forgot what you said, you said it like in the way that the program states the state of like the 12. You forgot the 12 steps to, well, let me let her know. Listen, I was really thinking was going to let them with the sky was going to park God.And could you forget that? Let me ask you a question. I think I kind of understand and I'm, and I'm not going to try to be disrespectful or anything about what's going on, but that's a hard one. I know it is. And it, and you first and foremost, I want to congratulate you for coming in. Yes, I thank you for coming because I, I want to say that you know how to show roles and all that other kind of stuff.And for you to come in is really in line with the spirit of what the show is, which is honesty, right? Uh, this is the one where like the listener could go look at this poor mother fucker sitting up there and he got guys emotions like this motherfucker, we got there's people out there that will actually take that.Cause they were working on the Eagle type of thing. Well that you don't care about. Anyway. Fuck. Those people hate me, bro. Believe me. It's a lot. I want them off the show. I'm even married to this man that runs the show there. Yeah, man. But I am going to ask you, I'm going to, I'm curious about this at what point and what do you think.Caused the car to go off the rails for you. I knew that I shouldn't see, and I know you tomorrow and I knew that question was like really coming. But if like, like if I, if I, if I, if I not to complicate any, any, he like to just be simple and to come straight, I feel it was a number of things. And if we, if we could start, like, if you really like, like in the, like for the listener, like let's start with the excuses.Cause we're gonna like use excuses to, for the reasons why, like, what am I sit up here and tell you what car would never ever w w the car, what, when did it ever go off the trail? Like, so if somebody does something in a manner to where they. Defeat the purpose of what we, it is that we were taught when we come into something which could be a 12 step program.We could be a Victor outreach church or whatever it is that we want to change in ourselves. What, what is the reasons why we get to a certain point in our time and all of a sudden, just because of everything we learned, like everything that, that I learned that I was taught to do, to keep myself, to keep me from being what I believe in, which is a zero tolerance policy situation that I preached so hard and, and go drastic measures to, to like, have people believe this certain things.And, and to like fully be honest, when I hit a podium and tell people everything that I'm seeing as a truth, and then not follow up to what ex exactly. I said, it's always, what was the reason why that, that you feel that it happened? One of the reasons why I feel that I've been is because I don't like to feel any fear.And let me tell you what I did look. So anyway, I got him to this dude, man. I know you guys are very familiar with them. I watched the interview. I know he's a brother. His name is Kevin. Something. He has black something enterprises on a stomach of Kevin Gates. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. And I watched the interview with him the other night and I really like sat and I listened to this dude and everything he said, and basically this, this dude, Kevin Gates, dude, I listened to what he was saying as like those theories and all those concepts that he believed in.It like helped me for the night. Cause I needed something because something very bad was about to happen. And I was really, really, really, really. About to like, just do what I had got to a point to where I was like, this is not going to happen right now. And then it was really like, um, half of my brain was telling me, you know, that's not gonna, it's gonna happen because you're in a position to where you can just get it, let it happen.And you're going to let it happen. And I put this dude on and it prolonged anything from happening for a little while, but anyway, it kept me for a minute and I listened to him. I really listened hard, man. And it's like, It's like, I kind of feel I'm in a kind of a position. Like he has. It's like, I went through my life, he explained through the pain and the pain and all he really wants.And there's no TV in his house for a reason because all I really wanted in my life, I feel that I'm at a point in my life, but really like the question that I'm going to answer. Cause you just asked it is I feel that I feel that I have like, uh, I have not my mother, I don't have a mother. I have no mother.I have my, my father's not around. There's like having no family members. I have, I have my son and I have my, you know, my, um, my significant other, which is the, um, how would we like my mother, my son's mother, or, you know, my ex my, I would call her my ex, the mother of my son. That, that I think right there, I was pushed.I'm going to blame her, but I was pushing the direction to where I'm just doing the same thing and I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm doing what everybody tells me to do. And I keep doing that. And then I, I met with one, so something that I was, that, that dropped them. So I said, I'm going to get through this.And I, and it was in a situation to where it was kind of heavy. So I got through it and I, and I held onto it and how they got worse, you know, things just kept piling up in that area. Then I took on another thing. I added some more trains, you know, I add the cars to the train because once the train gets in, I'm the type of guy who wants to, I, once that starts to train and I get the motion, I add cars on the train.Every time I hit stop, I have. So I kept putting cars onto the train. Um, you know, and then I added another car and I thought I put the, you know, another car and I'm thinking, here's the car that's going to fulfill me and make me feel whole about myself. And that's going to fix me. And it's the car that, you know, and it's like, it could be deceiving.You know, we could look at the situation like, you know, you could look at it like everything is going one way and the cars rolling good until we hit them. When we hit a stop in the, and then the bag is empty, you know, and that baggage comes out. Now I'm rolling with an empty car, you know, uh, one time, uh, when Steve big Lux was, uh, mentoring me right.Uh, he gave me, he told me, this is what big luck said to me from on high. It came down from some, I'm just sending our next guest a message about to come back in a little while. Okay. And what he said, thank you for that. And then what he said was he said to me that. Can you, this is what big luck said. I never forgot it too.And we're talking about like 20 years ago, maybe, maybe 18 years ago. And he said to me, he said, you know, listen, he goes, listen, uh, relapsed. Okay. That doesn't happen when you pick up a relapse starts long before the pickup. And he's telling me this, and I remember being like a little fat kid and listening to that and thinking like I asked, right.So in some level I kind of follow what you're saying in the sense of like, there's a lot of cars got on it, but just like really just out of curiosity, internally for you. Right. Big thing. That might be one thing or things that may be considerable things that led you to that. Go ahead. COVID yeah. How so?Lay that out. What are believing them? Well, the paranoia from it through more with the people that was around me, where the environment I'm in, there was people that were like, like I looked at it, like if you get a, you get a, you get past it, whatever. There was a lot of. You know, I was in my environment was there's people that, that, you know, we got, you know, so there was tension.I felt like yard tension. Like the people that I was living on my side kind of put myself, like I was living in like a, in a, in a, in like when you're institutionalized, you're going to have like, you're going to have four races that don't. So with COVID, you're going to have two or three races that are looking at like people, not racist, but individuals who have a certain outlook on how, you know, it's not going to hit me, get the shot, don't get the shot, you know, and it, it was like, that was some of it and not in the first year, but as we went into the second year, it was like a little bit stressful move with me for that, I think.And also I shut down. You know, and I'm trying to, it was like, like I shared, I got to a meeting. Finally, I got to a meeting, uh, Thursday night when they go up Thursday, what'd you get over there? Listen, listen. I mean, big, big level. Why, why you're telling this really human story. I'm also watching fucking Schmidt being outsmarted by a water bond.It's going to fail. He's gotta be smarter than the lidtake it. So I told him, I told him, Hey, throw that shit up for the, for the picture. He goes, I don't know any motherfucker, any motherfucker. You got to take both his fingers and twist them in the middle of the, put the west side up. It's like take the head of the fucking and put in his brand Starbucks.People are looking at, I was like, I'm like, Hey, like what is this dude doing to his fingers? I'm trying to twist me the wrong way. That's good. That works. I can use both hands up. Hey, how come you got a neon, yellow fucking hat Carhartt. I got all that. Everybody knows that I'm different than all the other people.Oh, they know, they know you throw the DOB ups. Yeah. Yeah. He did it without the. Also my health also when I'm, um, when, uh, when this dude he had that stroke, you know, we had that health thing, a lot of listeners will know that we went through, uh, like, uh, uh, ma not medical. It's like, um, fuck, I lose these words, man.I get like this dude, it's the, yeah, well, no, not just the stroke is that I'm an unhealthy reasons. So my health was deteriorating without me admitting it. So I started noticing that I had got this stroke and that kind of like tripped me out a little bit. And then, you know, they were, you know, there's some stroke game, the bag of the Saturday when we were at the w the last time I was here, I remember he doesn't remember shit.This is not funny Schmidt. No, it ain't. No, I remember the w when I got the cane, I'm walking with the cane, like, I'm an addict. I'm going to. If my back is fucked up, I'm going to make sure I get some pain pill. Cause I'm not, you know, I'm not that far when I can maintain some pain pills cause of my back.Cause I wasn't fucking, there was one of y'all now, so I'm not going to be like, oh yeah, that's another fucking excuse. So you have some back pain, you got other pain pills. You could have taken some more junior could have done well, when you, when you start taking everything that really ain't really working, you're gonna fall back on the painkillers.So I maintain that for a minute. I did it the way I supposed to, you know, I might've, you know, like the first bottle, I mean, it's true. It does, you know, and I did, I've never taken pain pills as prescribed. That'll always, always right. I swear to God, I got to about a doctor handing them to you. Clears you of any wrongdoing, you know, like you lay on it, open it all up, man.I didn't ask to be sick. I didn't tell the doctor. Hey, let me tell you though, bro. I'm lugging. Have my teeth pulled out. Right. And the doc gave me a fucking big old canister of fucking pain pills that was supposed to last a week. They were gone in one day easily. Fuck. Yeah dude. You're like, oh, I was like, dude, I was like tripping bro.I was like pink flood. I was like, hello? And you're like looking at the thing. Oh, do my feet. My hands felt like five feet thick, almost like glom and shit. And I was happy. I was actually fucking exactly. I was actually, and it didn't work for me like that this time we worked for me this time is I got him and I tried, I actually got him with where I was, you know, in my state of wellbeing.I got him and I go, I'm going to follow directions. I'm going to be the one this time, you know, y'all, I'm going to be the one that says I'm going to do everything it says for me to do. And that happened a little bit in the beginning until like, until I got down to like 12 and I was like, okay, well I gotta add, you know, it was, I could put some more and then I got through those and then I was cool.Listen, I shook it. I was cool. You know, I'm back to normal. Everything's good. And then some. Nan. I knew that, you know, the tension like more tension came, like it hit me more with more tension, more drama, some more shit. Like, you know, this didn't happen, right. This th th the call didn't come through quick enough, the texts wasn't there.It could be a number of things like this. This happened, that happened. I think I'm going to explain another thing. So I got out lucky, lucky me and lucky know each other. Real good, man. We're real close. One time I was talking over just talking man. And he asked me a question, you know, I met him somewhere.We went you a little function. I met up and sat down with him and he got me, you, it was just sitting there. If you could read between the lines, you know, read between them. And if you can't just, just take the listener, just drive, you know, we driving the bus, right. He was getting, you know, just relax on the bus, listen to the music.So I hit lucky up. I'm like this, you know? So what's up with this. He's like, so lucky. That's all. Hey, what's up with this man? Like, he was like, how's that? How's that? How are your situations going on? I go, they going cool. This what's up. And he goes, man, you know, like, then that don't like dentists and like sound too, like, like legging, like he like knew like, and we both looked at you.I said, yeah, well, you know, I can handle it. And he goes, oh no, man, I'm going to have a motherfucker like that. Some shit like that was semi straight out. And I'm like, well, yeah, well it ain't going to send me. I can, he was on, he was, I don't know, man, you like you in that area, you need to, like, you need to back up on me.Like, you know, you a G I known you a long time and you need like, take a step back. And that's like, the more that he was telling me to take a step back, I was like, he could tell him my face. He's like, like, I know you, ain't gonna say like, you're gonna, like, when you leave out of this, after this conversation, you can like, take a step five more further.I know how you get down, bro. Like you a real motherfucker. You're gonna go. Like, if you do anything, like you do it, you go all the way, man. You go hard from the gate and. It's like, you're not just going to put, you know, two or three sugar. Like if you drink sugar in your coffee, you're not putting two or three in there.You got four, you going all the way with it. So I, and the advice that I'm giving you, man, is like, it's like, he gave me that, like, if I would've, if I was stood on that advice that day and did what I was really supposed to do it, might've still prolong whatever it is that I thought I was going to do down the line, which I, they listened to us and need to know wherever the fuck I'm at.But to really be honest with you, the listener is just that I'm letting you know, man, I'm this type of individual. If you don't know me, you don't mean, well, you research, whatever the fuck you eat. If you don't research start researching the fact that I'm not afraid of. No, I really am. I get to a point in my life when I started doing dumb shit, it starts going through my head that maybe I, um, then maybe my time's up here, you know, maybe I said enough or I did enough.And it was like, that was going through my head at early, before anything happened. It was like really going through my head, like, cause I get already visualized. Cause like I'm blessed with a gift that I can actually know where I'm going to go before I get. And I believe that I was already, some things were telling me where, and I was like, you know what, I, I know where this is going to lead.I already played the table and I knew, but I still, I'm still one of those dudes that wants to hold on. I want to just hold on, man. I want to hold on. And I want to keep trying to be a controlling individual and do anything it takes. And, and even like that, we have that conscious, you know, you have that, you have that conscious, deep down and goes, you know, this shit ain't gonna work out, but you got the problem.There's a problem. There's a piece of. That wants it to work out so badly and believes it. That's why you're doing a believes. You might be able to change it this time, but then there's the other half of you, that's telling you, you know how this goes when you're in the middle of that. Yeah. Like, because you don't like defeat, you know, like even though, you know, he wouldn't give up, no, you know, the area, like you don't know exactly what the area and you know exactly where it is, what the outcome's going to be, but then again, you don't, but you're taking about 1% and stretching that it might work.Cause dealing with you're dealing with individuals or an individual you're dealing with individuals who you kind of like, look at the situation and you want to take that chance you are taking that chance. You're fucking taking. Then you're like, well, you know what? And then if you really research and you really smart, if you really like game up and you'd like, really go in, you know, you really realize the fact that you're actually competing with somebody who is exactly identical or most.Close to what you might be going through. Well, well, you know what, I'm listening to this and I'm thinking about it. And I'm thinking like,there is a piece that I, when I'm hearing you talk, bro, there is a piece that I do wonder as lucky the father, right? What you go through because on a certain level, it's all well and good. The games we play when it's just us. Yes. Right? Yes, yes. Right? Yes. Yes. Jumaan there. It's all well and good. And, but there's another piece of this component and I want an eye and I'm curious now I'm not even curious.I'm actually hoping that something that I say goes into the category. Like this, this is more important than me. Hi, I'm Randy. And this is Dave. We're the founders of Bombus the most comfortable socks in the history of fi so comfortable.

When I was a real bro, when I was a little boy. Okay. I didn't have a mom, right? You at least had your mom. Okay. I didn't have a mom at all. What a, how was an alcoholic overweight father? For a long time, but there was a period of time that I idolized him when I was like four or five, because I didn't know everything yet.All I knew was I was real small and he was real big and I thought he was all powerful. Like, like for me, I was like, man, that's the strongest student. I was so happy that he was on my team because he was so big. He could protect me. He could protect me from what's out there. Maybe protect me from other men or a duck.And the thing is, is there came a point in time in my young Innes where I saw my dad weak. I saw him weak and it fucking broke me, bro. It broke me so hard that demand that I looked up to that I, you know, Love, like I loved him and I needed him was actually not as strong as I thought he was. And as a young man that broke me and it took a long time for me to understand everything a long time, but it was very confusing and it was disheartening.And I look at you big lap and I'm like, man, that's a big dude. That's a big why. And, and, and, and, and everybody sees you like that. A mountain. Uh, mountain that absorbed bullets, a mountain that, you know, got real close to fucking death, a mountain that doesn't care about.you know that right. We're filming. Where are you filming that camera though? I ain't tripping. Right. So when you're thinking about when you, I mean, all kinds of, and while you're talking, I got a bunch of shit, but there's people like you, you know, they want it, like I'm still, no matter what happens, I still am in that position to where I still want to do what I'm doing is I, am I got the, can they wait for a minute?I just tell them that I got, I just let him know, like, I'm not I'm doing this. Well, I guess what I'm trying to, I guess maybe enlist is a good example and I'm not trying to come down here. Maybe it's hard for you to be responsible for somebody else. Yeah. Well, at this point, yeah, at any point, at any point I just said, I just said yesterday to somebody, I cry, you know, like I got emotional with somebody yesterday.I told him and I said, listen, he, right now, I'm at a time in my life where I need to like look out for myself. And when I look out for a whole bunch of other people, but you gotta remember something too, I'm coming from a place to, to Mohan. I want you to know I'm coming from a place where I went from, from like, like a yard skid row situation shift, right into another situation through that I've been through throughout my life, like over and over and over again.Like not once, not twice, not three times, not four times. Right? Like throughout my life. And in order for me to go in there again, it's like got people. Don't like, you're not going to do it that way. We want you to do it this way. You're going to go in and sit up here and you're going to do it like this, and you're going to do it like that.You're going to do it like this. And it's like, I'm almost to the point today and I'm not going to listen. I don't give a fuck. I'm going to let you know right now. I, because I'm at a point to where like, people are like, I got people telling me we don't want that. We don't want that. We don't want that. And I'm not, and I'm not saying that I'm faced or anything or I'm taking the control, but I'm looking at everything that I have that I've accumulated.Like I get accumulated on my own. It didn't ever have no woman, nobody, nobody, but me. I accumulated that. I went to the table with it and I, and I did everything I was supposed to do. And everybody looking at it, like some bull, like you, that ain't shit, but we're willing to, like, we want to grab that from under you.And we're going to go on, on a program that we're going to set out in front of you. And that's kind of still hard for me to do because cause you like, what are you going to choose? You choose this. Or you choose to go over here and lay up here in doc. I will choose the other way to die. I listen, I understand.I'm not even going to be like, oh, I'm in here angry. Or I might be upset. I'm at the mercy of, of what, what you're saying or what everybody else around me, because I don't talk like that. I'm just telling you. This is what I'm telling you, identify with your son. You know why? Because he plays the saxophone, you know, who else played the saxophone?He did that for a week and then he got burned down. You know, who else played? The saxophone? Me, me too. Okay. And I looked at your son and I saw how happy and proud he was of you. That's the only thing I see, but I play both. He flat out on tenor. And the issue is, is as all I'm saying bigly, it's one thing to say like, oh, I can live this way or I could die that way.And it's all just me, but it really ain't man says young man, you know, we have a lot of dudes that come up through here that talk about a man wasn't in their life. And that led them to a life of crime. Of course, I have a lot of friends and in a similar situation to like, they might be my age, but they had kids later in life where you got kids, but you had more.So they're my age. And they're dealing with. Okay. I see a young man that's 12, 13, 14 years old. Right. And they're going through this shit right now. But now, currently to that, and I remind all my friends like that. I go, man, you can look at my life and use me as a perfect example. I was sober for like five years and doing it all my kids.And when I decided to relapsed Vincent was like 13. And it was the worst possible time that you disappear on a boy. But I really, really didn't wrap my head around it. I really didn't. I didn't. Then when he went to the joint, no, no, this is a, this is after this or 20, uh, 15, whatever years ago when I relapsed, after having some time I couldn't wrap my head around it.I don't know why. And I don't want to call it just plain selfishness or just. I could not stop using the pain or what I was feeling or what I was going through. There was one thing and I was after it's a solve that and I chased it and I fucking left my family, hanging my kids. And like, it's the only, even my prison terms.I don't say, oh, I wish I could redo, like, okay. But what I wish I wouldn't, the only regret I have is that I, that I left my son hanging in the most important years. What I feel of a man's life. I really did, bro. I left that kid hanging when he needed me the most. And I tell people like you and to different friends in that situation today, I'm like, bro, whatever you do wrong.Please because what you're showing him is what he's going to do. You're showing me he's going to want to do that. And I didn't understand that. And I came to find out that that was the truth man. And that what I was doing was affecting him so drastically. And I had no idea how I found that was when I found out the way you don't want to find out, or one of the ways you don't want to find out when it's already full-blown and this guy's doing exactly what I was doing.And it's like, just, I remember when I got that call, I was heartbroken in tears. My son didn't grow up like me. I didn't even grow up like me. So why is he shoving in his arm? But he was, you know, so it's, it's w you weld a lot of power, bro. We willed a lot of power, man. And sometimes we don't. Give knowledge to who's watching us, bro.Everywhere you go, people are watching you either good or bad. See your son is looking at how everybody looks at you and island. So you're at this place and your actions, man, affect everybody. But it's him. It's him that we're talking about right now, more than ever. I see. Yeah. And the thing is, is, is kids are, are super smart, right?So he's going to see you say whatever you say, and he's going to compare it to whatever else he's thinking and seeing himself. How about you say that he's going to use with you what I say, right. And he's also going to like go off of what everybody else has. Projecting also like, may it be his mother or people around or social individuals who might his, who his mother also put in her life at, uh, at the, at the time, like somebody who like you like got us, like, what do you do?I feel was like the major, like thing that dropped in my lap to where it did not set me up as it put like the motion in my head to where, like, what the fuck? Like this isn't fair. Like what, what isn't fair about it? No, you got to kick back to where it wasn't just a bunch of work. This is something that I don't need to, you know, like I'm not going to use this as, this is not going to be an excuse that I use.And I went and I wrote on that for a long time. Like, I'm not gonna do it like that. I'm not going to do it. But like I said, the cars fucking kept adding on. These cars kept adding over and over and over this man sitting next to me, he seen me, he sees me on the phone. He seen, it was like one time he looked at me.He says, well, like, what the fuck is going on? What are you doing? That's so wrong that these people kind of agree with that. You're doing like, what is it that they want? Like, what do you fucking want? Like, what do you want from me? What do you like actually want out of me? It's like, you give me, you give me all this recognition about how it's like you like, and it's also at the same time, like, like, like, like, like running a game on me, like I'm going to, like, you are not in that position because of the fact that like, uh, like where do you, how did you put me in any position?The only position you put me in. Threaten me that if I didn't do something about this, you, I was never going to see my son. And I'm stating that as that, that's the same thing that's happening. As we sit here at this moment, as I'm sitting here on the phone, I could be happening like right now, you're like, this is an ongoing process.Even when I was doing the right thing, like you're doing the right thing for so long, but yet you're getting blamed every day for not doing the right thing. And you're, you're, you're you're you have the same behaviors and you're not. And then I'm looking at this individual. Right. And I'm not going to put nobody out there, but you know, we know what the fuck.Yeah. I put you out there, you out of there. So yeah, you're doing one thing and it's not justifying whatever the fuck you're doing. Like, we're both getting looked at. You're wrong. I'm wrong. I'm right. You're wrong? Yeah. It's going to get to the point who gives a fuck? What point it gets to, where are you going to go with it?Like, where are you going to take this today? Who gives a fuck? What happened last night? Who gives a fuck? What happened 10 minutes ago? Where are you going to go? When you set up off this fucking mic and you leave up out of this door, fucking. And the tag onto that too. I think it's the affects. I ain't even give them, I feel like that a lot of people and us included myself too, are not really considering, like, we talked about the effects we have on the people around us.Right. Once you're out of it and you're out of it and you're okay, I'm gone or whatever. But, but what I'm saying is you, as you're around longer, you gain more knowledge on something. Right? Right. You see deeper. And I'm going to give you an example real quick. We'll have more in deeper. You know, I said about my son, just now, how about when my son had his son rose heartbreaker and he couldn't show up because my son's getting loaded and I'm seeing his grandson.So now every time I engage my grandson, there's a piece of what he isn't getting, what he's being cheated out of because I taught his dad how to cheat your son out of his. Right. I taught my son. This is how you leave your son hanging XY. You fuck your kid up. And so he repeats it down. That's what I'm saying.The longer I'm at another level wisdom people want to ask me, how is it that you're not doing meth right now? You're not opting to go. Cause you know what, it's not just the program where it's not that it's experiencing. And I say some shit like that when I really see what the fuck I was doing and how deep this thing can go and carry on generations of just sickness.That's what made me step back, man. Like my actions affect. as we, as we're special, we're speaking, I'm looking at you, mom valued. And I, and I feel the vibe, the vibe right now is, is that like, fuck, what are we going through? It's all about our children, man. At the end of the day, it's the most important person that I can sit here and say it is, but is it really about your fucking child when you got the fucking needle dangling out your neck?Okay. No, I think it's things to think about once we're sober to start using, to really taking an investigating look at that. And if you're not clear, I don't think if I wasn't clear on that. And as in a pause or times where I have sobriety, I started to really look at that man. And I was, and it started to change me and I didn't want to look at that stuff.I really didn't want to investigate that. And as I do, the more really become so no lap. It's I'm I'm right with you. When somebody tells me, go ahead and stop for your kid. Do that. Oh, that didn't happen. They said all this to me and I still couldn't stop. But, but, but, but all right. Yes. And I'm going to say something because as a guy that successfully stacked up 19 years off of anything, all right, sure.And there's been millions of times on this show where I've said something that, that I feel like wasn't quite listened to because people think that it's easy for me. They put me in a separate category. I got 19 years. All right. Uh, sobriety and I'll tell you something. Part of it for me was,was that, all that shit. I talked about everybody else when I was weak and being abused by alcoholics and drug. All that motherfucking righteous indignation. I had to battle why I shouldn't change. I was becoming that I was doing it. I was that person as much as I was hurt and victimized by fucking alcoholics and drug addicts, I was doing the same motherfucking thing and I was lying one of them.So what shit was I talking? So big lab. When you talk about you, ain't got your mom and you talking to them about like, oh, listen or missing the most fundamental question in anyone's life is who the fuck is calling Schmitty right now in the middle of a fucking apartment felt Schmitty. Jesus Christ. Get off the phone, man.Did you eat for big Lux to lay out for everybody to hear the generational sickness that he had an opportunity to put a, to stop, to put an end to. And we're talking about his grandson is a little boy and listen, listen, his grandson is a vulnerable, beautiful, sweet, innocent, a little boy, and big luck shows up for him now.But at the same time, big lips, he bears the pain of whatever he's feeling. So, so, so, so I understand not wanting to feel anything. I get that, bro. I, I I'll fucking eat food that not fit. So I'm saying for you big laugh. So when you say like it I'm supposed to do for me and is that going to stop it? You're right, but that's a, that's a, that's, that's a, that's a path.Everybody already knows. The question is what's it going to take for big. To allow his heart to show his son how a man is supposed to live his life. Because one day your system is going to take action. It's going to take action and footwork and doing whatever. What it's going to take for me is I don't like, like people to like, like I'm putting a position to where, where it's like, like you like, all right, I'm in a situation where I have this going, but yet you haven't seen your son.But I'm doing all these fucking things, you know, it's like, I'm ready to go. I'm ready to go. When do you want me? But then no, you're not ready to go. You look this way, you look that way you changed you. This all this fucking shit. How about when everything was like gravy, everything was cool. And I was like, doing everything, like straight as a fucking, you know, walking that line straight, everything.It was the same fucking deal, man. Let me tell you something. I'm like, how long is a motherfucker? Like, just put up with that and just sit up with that. And it's like, it gets to a point and somebody there's a boiling point. I don't give a fuck who you are. No, no, no, no. You know what? There is one point, like it's still a choice and I'll tell you something.I'm a family law lawyer. Okay. Listen, you know how many dads I've worked with? They can't see their kids because of some bullshit from the mother. Uh, you know how many it's all my fault. That's all I hear. Listen, listen, listen, this is a woman I'm not talking about it. I'm not talking about whose fault it is.Even if it is somebody else's fault, right? What's that what's that got to do with you and you're showing up may be not picking up what's that got to do. I'm trying to fucking show up and I'm not given the opportunity to show up in the, in the manner that it doesn't matter. That part, listen. No, no, no, no, no, no.It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't listen. I'm not saying it's not important. You're right. You're right. But what I'm saying is. If you die on the end of a needle, you ain't ever going to show up. That's all exactly. That's what we're getting at now. We don't like people listening, like, oh, we turning this into a relapse relation ship show each other.Let me finish the sentence. Okay. God damn. Cause we love you. We love you. That kind of finish the sentence, man. It's like, yeah. The point of the matter is to me was like, no, it's like, it's like we're with the world. I made a point like in my life right now at this minute, I'm at a point to where like I like, okay, everything is biting everything past.So I'm at a point today where I'm at. Right. And I know where I, and I know where I'm going. I know I need to get you. And I know I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there regardless of what they tell me, you tell me wherever it was. You got people shutting shit. Yeah. Like in other words, you know, you're at a point where I, yeah, you shut down, I'm going to shut you down.I got to do whatever it takes. I'm going to shut it. I'm going to shut everything down until I get to what I got to get to. Right. You don't even want to know how I woke up this morning. Come on. You don't even want to know. And it's not even good for me to put another, cause it doesn't matter because you're gonna have people.Because if I tell you, I woke up this morning by next week, everything is going to getwake up. I wake up, man. I'm not going to say nothing. I know. I know what I'm doing, bro. Look, I wake up this morning, right? I don't give a fuck because you know what? I, I stand amongst you gentlemen. Then I stand amongst you as not as a man, I stand amongst you in the eyes of a spirit man. The spirit that guides.It doesn't matter what two tells me, what, who tells me what, anything I'm guided by a fucking spirit man, a spirit that wants me to live more than it wants me to die. My mother used to tell me, Hey, you know what? The heart is, the older you get, the harder the run. You know, I believe in that. And I, in other words, these runs are getting hard and they're going to get harder.And they going to keep getting harder is what you're going to do in order to how are you going to stop or where you feel you're going to stuff. And everybody. You know, and step on a wheel always tells me, stop taking this shit out on yourself. It's sending me back in a bloke. So it's like, instead of me going over there and telling him, telling him, oh boy, you know, the other half of my woman a while, what I really feel right.If I really go over there and let them know what my feelings are. Right. You know, my feelings is either, you know, you know, what's going to happen. I'm going to be sitting. I'm going to be calling you as a lawyer to tell you like, look, I don't know why that gun went off, or I don't know why this fist went upside.Is that in back of it? You see? So if I'm putting like, like I'm going to say, what, what, what would I rather do I wait? All right. Do I go over there? Do I go over there and do this? I mentioned, you know, do I go over there and do that? No, because what's going to happen is that's going to be fiscal fast, quick, and in a hurry incarceration.And then, and then I play the tape and I'm like, then my son's going to see what type of manner I act. And that's is that enough manner to act then to, is this he's this dude doing enough? Like, so I get up my son, cause I'm still on the verge to ask my son, Hey, how's everything over there is everything cool.Like prior to investigation, is everything going good at that house is everything. And I haven't heard nothing negative with my son, but then I got the other words telling me some other shit. And then I got the dude taking me, like, come on here, I'll drive you home. Right. Let me let, let me roll. You. You, you, you were rotting.You do taking me pulling off to the side of the road, knowing that I'm injured, talking about, come on, you know, like what's up. I mean, yeah. Well what's up, you know, like, yeah. You're the one that pulled over to the side of the room and asked me to get into him. He told me he got to come about it. Yeah. It was cracking.You know, it's like, I don't play chess, but the next move is like, what's up right here. I am like, I do. I need that. That's another thing that built me to the point to where he checked us out. Like, like what the fuck. Like, all I'm trying to do is be a right individual in the eyes of whoever it is. I'm trying to inspire, you know, and listen, and you are an inspirational dude, and this ain't directed at you, homie.I ain't dragging this at you, but let me put it to you this way. I have a friend. Okay. I'm going to say it like this, because now you're putting the situation out there where I kind of understand where you're coming from. You're saying, look, you know, I mean, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I'm going to show you a way.I'm going to show you a solution. I can listen to this. This is real man. Listen. Okay. Listen, I got a friend who's real close to another friend and his real close friend got himself in a situation that's through no fault of his own. It's real fucked up. Okay. Now my friend might handle things a certain way.When the shit goes down, it goes like this. But my friend called, uh, an attorney, right. To figure out the options from a legal perspective. Right? Like what if you were to like take care of business, take care of business. That's right, right. I'm there. I know. And it's not all, it's also strategy. Right. And there's not a person on God's green earth that wouldn't understand why my friend might want to take care of business in a certain way.Okay. There's not nobody you could kill from the sheriff to the fucking homeless. They'd all understand like, oh, okay. Yeah. Murder was, I don't know. No, I mean, I'm not saying now I'm just saying what's that called murder? I don't know what you're talking about that. No, listen, listen. I understand what you're saying.I, listen, I got a way to handle it. I got a way to handle this. All right. Right. Certain things were hammered out and done in a way that business was taken care of, but not in a way that was going to make everything go real south real fast. So what I'm trying to tell you is, is that solvers meaning what?The worst? No, no, no, no. So Southern south sides, the best we're talking about, what's the worst thing that could happen. Um, I can't tell you that. I don't know. I can't imagine it, but if you can read between the lines, which you can. Okay. Right. Cause there might be blow back and there's a whole problem. But what I'm trying to tell you is when you get into a place as a human, as a spirit where you feel like it's either this or that, okay.I'm telling you from experience that that's a false dilemma. It's not really this or that. There are other options, but it does take. Uh, pause and you do have to let someone else drive to do the little thing. That's all I'm trying to get to you brother. Cause I understand what another thing too. I want to point out.It's another thing that everybody was feeling like, you know, like they, the dude next to me right here, I'm going to explain. So now you're going like a month, some months, like 2000. When I started talking, I said 2022, it hits. So from then on a little bit, after a little bit of 2021 from the time man from that time.So in other words, you, you, every time you go to where you want to lay your head, like you go, you you're, you're in a situation where your home is your, your domain, where it's peaceful. You want to go to a place where you feel at peace. And it started to get like that with, with, uh, it started to get to the points with me, where I was going through a situation where I knew there wasn't peace.I was seeing my, my, um, you know, It got to the point where I was like, I wasn't, it sounded that I felt, I wasn't feeling the inner peace with myself. I was not really feeling the inner peace with myself because of the people that were that they're not really, that I, that I had, like, I'm going to say, oh, well, I, what I say goes, or what if they don't run those, you know, like if we're on the yard and you don't do the burpees you get in.Right. I'm not, I'm not going in a situation like that. I'm going in a situation like, like I want to be able to come somewhere where nobody's hanging on my watch each individual who is going through the same thing that I'm, I'm probably going through now. I watched a certain individuals and I kept looking at it and I go, damn, I don't want that to happen to me.I don't want to, I don't want to be like that guy. I just saw this guy goes through this and all. And it's either about finances or romances is either behind a dude getting in a relationship green. Right. It was either a dude getting in a relationship. And I was watching, I was watching, I was watching in the back of my head.I'm well, I'm not going to let that happen. I'm not gonna let that happen. I'm not going to have, while it was sitting in. Well, little by little I'm I'm telling myself the cunning baffling and powerful thing. That's that I'm not even realizing it's in my head actually saying to me, that's not going to happen to you.That's not grammar. And little by little, I started noticing, but it is happening saying it as you move intoit's like when you're riding a bike and you can see you're going to fuck up before can't turn, that's not going to happen. That's not going to have a look. And none of it driving into the fucking, the border right by the border guys were there and he had the shit and he was like, ah, man, but there's nothing to getAnd I'm like, and I'm looking at it like this now. And in the back of my mind, I was like, wait, and then you start noticing that a little bit of everybody, everybody that you're around. Yeah. It's like everything that you're, that they're experiencing, you're, you're feeling the same effects of that happening.And it was like getting serious, so I wasn't even watching. So they came in on one guy and he said, you missed two for domestic violence. Has a standup pajamas, brown your back. I look at, I go, well, that ain't going to happen to me. Cause I'm not in over there messing around this scratch. But wait a minute, if I keep it at some point, if I'm fighting with somebody in that type of room, but I'm not going to put myself, but I started noticing that I was getting pushed 10, that, that, like you want to like take it all the way you got, even to where it was even, he was even getting to the point to where there was some, like things that I never thought I was.To somebody else and things were being said, and things were in there and I would ever hang. And then, and then even on another and another scale I was, God was putting myself in a position. Nobody else. I don't put nobody in my own self. I was putting myself in a position to do things right, where I thought this individual is putting me in a position where I've never been.I've never had any other individual put me in this position to lead me to up to the points where I would make myself look like this. And I went ahead and I made myself do exactly what I thought I wasn't doing, which. Because of the fact that w I had put, you know, I wasn't in my right from a mind, of course, I'm not going to go and blame.Oh. Because I did what I did and I did. And it doesn't matter what I did. And it doesn't matter if I try to figure out who's doing what, or what are you doing or where you're at with it, or where do you, what are you gonna do with it? What are we going to do at the end of the day? I'm the solution to, what's going to happen to this?When I leave up out of here, I could say, as a man, honestly, honestly, in the listening, well, you leaving about it. There are you going to be all right? When you hear about it, I know I'm not going to fucking be all right, because I'm going into a place where I'm not feeling at peace. So if you're going to be like, well, if you're not feeling, are you, how about you?You feel at peace when you go back, be honest, not late. St. John, you gotta be careful. Y. So you see, so we brought the same person over here, so they kind of explained now, when you talk, you gotta be careful what you're talking about, because if you really want to get honest, I have no problem with that, man.You're you, you're on man. We're men hold up. We're not children. You're a man. So you know, this is a, if you feel this is a good platform for people to know what the fuck is going on, you're an honest man, you still sincere. And a lot of what you say, right? That's why I got that fallen out or whatever that's going on without joking around, man.I seen any jokes, no jokes. It's been a long fucking ride regardless of what we've been through or what we're doing or whoever's out there like what the fuck is really? What the fuck are these dudes even talking about? Like, what do you got one motherfucker? You know, he stands tall, you know, and tell, you know, fuck all that.We remove everything. We come naked. Okay. She knew up in here, naked man, naked shit. Tell us, tell us what you, what you, what you, what you're going to tell him. Uh, I, what I was going to say, how I don't feel, uh, secure or I don't feel in a good place, you know? Cause we do, we do have a sobriety or a UN uh, help.I am, I lost all of our, we have, because we live in a sober living house. It's hard to express the truth we're full right now. And it's not a good feeling when yeah. Okay. Let me tell you something. Let me see if I could turn into a hypothetical something that's not, when I worked and soberly, I used to work at sober living in Malibu while I went to law school.Right. And I can tell you straight up, I know for a fact that that sober living had dirty people living up in there because they could afford the rent. All right. So I can see where you could be in a sober living and you might not feel like maybe you're supported. So I'm not necessarily saying that's the issue here.I'm just saying I could see it that way. Right? Now Schmidt, let me ask you a different question. And all of the warnings still apply and this isn't live so we can delete it out if we have to, because it will all in protect the innocent and all that good thing. But from your perspective, what did you see with the challenges that big LEP was like?Did you, did you notice, uh, challenges coming up or how was your experience kind of, because I was in the orange Thorpe house, uh, for awhile there and everybody started using it. It started a little, some guy, one guy and another guy, and then the young guys come and fuck, they're using the whole back of the whole back room to sell speed out of the back of the house.Right. And so you saw trouble on that summer, everybody high and everybody lying necessarily worried about another house that we actually had to go intervene and do what. The manager was t

OG Lepke grew up in the Crenshaw area of Los Angeles. He bounced between his mom and dad's homes as a kid and got into the street game early. He was attracted to the flash and sizzle of the street life. His Mom was a hippy who always had drugs around the house. Whether it was acid, weed, or mushrooms drugs were no different than having a candy dish out on the table. Lepke was so immune to it he once brought a bag of marijuana into his elementary school class for sho wand tell. He ended up like many gang bangers getting in trouble and doing time as a youth in YTS and eventually going to Mens central Jail in LA. Considered the Rikers Island of the west and to spending time up state at the legendary Folsom prison. He shares how the prison system is nothing more than a multi million dollar enterprise set up to keep people incarcerated versus truly helping felons become rehabilitated and a productive members of society. he has decided his life to this cause of helping those that are trying to overcome personal challenges whether its keeping someone from going to prison or helping those getting out of prison or trying to overcome an addiction issue. Lepke believes that we all need to have more positivity and love. Focusing on solutions not problems and having this be driven from within the neighborhoods and communities. Lepke is living proof that its never too late to turn your life around, take accountability and drive positive change.

Frankie Carbo- the early years Paul John Carbo (born Paolo Giovanni Carbo; AKA Frankie Carbo was a New York City Mafia soldier in the Lucchese crime family. He was a gunman and assassin for “Lepke”... The post Frankie Carbo appeared first on Gangland Wire.

In 1910, Joseph D. Weil founded the College Camp and Pine Forest Colony, which later became Camp Ramah in the Berkshires. In 1939, shortly before his passing, he transferred ownership of the camp to his only child, Linton Weil. In 1942, Linton left Wingdale for New York City to open a nightclub in midtown called The Riobamba. Linton still owned camp, which Joseph's widow Rose operated in his absence. Linton funded the Riobamba, however, with $45,000 that he made from camp. Inflation adjusted for today, that's nearly three quarters of a million dollars! Its namesake being a city in Ecuador, the Riobamba's decorations had a Latin American theme to them. It was also inspired by a popular club of the time, the Copacabana. For Riobamba's opening night, Weil and his team brought in Jane Froman and the Chandra-Kaly dancers. Froman comissioned a theme song for the club, paying $50 to composer. Who was this composer? A not yet well-known Jew from Massachusetts named Leonard Bernstein! This song uses many different musical motifs as a window into meeting the different peoples and cultures who lived in Riobamba over thousands of years. The club became a huge success on day 1, partly thanks to this song being such an exciting opener. While this song itself is not well known today, Bernstein later used the material in his 1944 ballet Fancy Free. A few weeks after opening, Weil hosted a meeting in the Riobamba with other Broadway producers to plan out President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 61st birthday, happening at the Waldorft-Astoria hotel. The Riobamba also made history a few weeks after that, in March of 1943, when Frank Sinatra made his cabaret debut there. Linton Weil continued running the club for just under a year, until selling out his share in October of 1943. Another person associated with ownership of the club was infamous Kosher mobster Louis "Lepke" Buchalter. He was the head of the Murder Incorporated mafia contract killing organization and recieved the death penalty in 1944, the only American mobster to do so. Unforunately, the Riobamba was shut down by the authorities in December of 1943, a year after it opened, due to failure to pay taxes. Linton Weil went on to sell camp as well in 1945. Later in life, he at points owned the Wingdale Diner, and a Magnesium Quarry in Dover. He also worked as a stockbroker for Bache and Co. until his death in 1971. Thank you to camp's pre-camp historian Max Silverstone for bringing this special tune and uniquely New York information to Radio Kol Ramah!
