It's just funny.

It's just high.

I am high, but I mean it's just I supposed to have been did this, but now I'm here.

Yeah, you finally here.

Yeah I was supposed to been did it but out here because.

We don't want to really wild out. I really want to tell. We really want to tell the little duvals the world.

That's why people come here. You know you lets you know our ballers man twenty five years in the game.

Yeah, this is my twenty fifty.

I know five years and again I know I know all about you.

But yeah, yeah, yeah, I've been front the crib five. Yeah. Yeah, he from Florida.

I know that's why I would have did it for him, But I don't do podcasts, and so yeah, I mean I'm hearing that though.

So come on, let's talk. Let's go.

All right, let's take it back to Jacksonville.

Can we take it back to Jacksonville? Who was a little duval growing up?

My parents was more so that was a village.

So it wasn't just my parents, it was my family, it was my neighborhood. I'm a product of my environment in a good way.

You know. You know, we get here. Everything bad by Jacksonville, but I'm one of the good things.

Yeah, I heard it was two sides of Jacksonville when I when I went one time, they was like, yo, you cross the bridge.

That bridge across the bridge kind of rough now too, but it's like it is two sides. There's the college white boy's side that they party like a motherfucker. Then you got us the niggas. You know what, it's both and both. I'm good. You just got to understand both of them. Yeah, I wanted to go get both. They told me to go on the other side. They like, you want to get the good food. You gotta go overever to the north side. I mean even on the north side, the good food on the north side, on the hood.

Yeah, hood. So if you want some good food, come to the hood.

Did you ever explore like music, because I know you do the music now and I actually love how you It was organic.

It was all organic.

Did you ever have a rapper phase where you was like, I want to be a rapper?

I mean I was like I was. You got to think when hip hop came around.

It came around around the town when I was a kid, so it was like everybody would like we had a rap in our neighborhood, which was my homeboy. So I went over his house and we used to listen to rap, and we used to call it stuff. But it was just like fun stuff. It wasn't like, this is what you're gonna do to be famous. Like the only thing I just knew I was gonna be an entertainer. I just didn't know how. So whatever was working, and the thing that worked the most was I was funny.

You know what I'm saying. I was entertaining, So I just went with that and that's that's where it went.

But who told who told you, like, man, you're funny, man, you should really take this serious.

Nobody really it was like a did you like, was you like the funny the person that was funny, that joaned on people, cracked on people. Yeah, Almus cracked like so they Honestly, I was really the bully out of like it was big. I was the littlest person, but I was the bully when it came to ranking. You know what I'm saying, joning what y'all call it. When I was in when I was in the room, I used to rank on everybody, So that came organic for me.

And then when I moved to Atlanta.

My man he used to be he used to be with a Hindu Entertainment which Coach K. That's Coach K was probably the first person I met that was in the industry when I first moved here, because he was my man, was signed to them who Hindu who Coach K worked for?

And he the one the guy.

Matter of fact, it's it's funny how life worked because the guy that put me on here, he like a crackhead now on my street right now.

And I'm not saying that in a bad way.

I'm just saying like sometimes that one person can change or like that might be the only purpose in life, that little that little part of the ecosystem switch you over to make you who you is. So I guess in a way, if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't because he the one told me to like, man, let's go up here to the comedy club, you know what I'm saying. And I went up to the comedy club. I think I went to Chris Tuckerble. I didn't go up,

When you know you know what Florida. Yeah, this was like the nineties, Like this was I moved here in ninety six.

So during that during the Olympics, like yeah, freak nigga was down all but the Olympics at first. That's when Olympics was here. So I had moved at that time. So we all clicked up. Everybody from Florida clicked up. And I didn't start doing comedy until like ninety nine.

Wow, So what was that first time on stage?

Like nor hosting. He gave you the might recipe, he gave you the mic, And I think if I wouldn't have got a laughed out, I probably wouldn't have did it. I probably wouldn't be doing that once.

I got nobody laughed you would have just been room that night.

I probably wouldn't have did it.

So it was all, did you have like a show prepped or you just went up there?

And I went up there. I had one joke. I had one joke joke.

I think I said something about they say black people will make things out another I said, I think it's Mexican's getting anybody that could take a two or Toyota turst sell and turn into a pickup truck.

So that's what my joke was.

And at work that's the only thing I remember off that, and then from that I had another joke, and everybody knew me from one joke. One joke rolling, I had a joke boy T shirts. I was like, and I was like, man, I'm selling these T shirts. It was a blank T shirt. You say they cost fifty dollars. Back then, it ain't nobody paying no fucking fifty dollars

Here I am.

How did that lead you to entertainer?

Giving you a shot?

That was I was in.

I did that thing in Oakland. It was some type of competition out there and I didn't win. But one of the guys to manage his road manager ship man, don't get mad and forget your name, can't s shit. I forgot his name, but he he saw me. He was like, hey, man said you going on the road, and he taking up and coming comedians on the road, and I think you would be good.

So he took me on the road.

Are yet no you still?

I didn't become a little Duval till I did coming to the stage, And the only reason I did that was because I got tired of repping my city by saying like sometimes now I got tired. It was like it was hard for me to sometimes just say I'm from Jacksonville.

Yeah.

So now it was like, you can't help but know from Duval by seeing my name because everywhere I went and Florida, like, I was already popular before I got on Copic coming to the stage because I had from doing Sedric and doing comic View. So I was the man in Florida so everywhere I went in Florida, they was like, that's a little Duval because they knew me from Duval. So I was like, damn, they know me from that. I'm finna call myself Duval all over the

They knew off. Then that's inspiration.

Damn, this nigga here from where I'm from. So I already I had already implemented. And so when I did come to the stage, I knew. I was like, I'm gonna call myself Duval from now on, a little Duvault from now on. That's where it came from.

You question, I always wanted this was you on coming to the stage where little JJ was on there.

No, but that's that goes back to the Mandela effect. You know what i'mayingbout where they said you think you remember something, but you really don't like everybody right now? I think they saw me with Little JJ, but Little JJ was on there the season before me and he won and I was on the season athletes see everybody?

Why does everybody think?

Because y'all slow?

Humans are slow humans really all slow, so they don't realize that, but they think they do. And social media don't make it no better. So you're thinking you're doing something, but you really don't. You really don't know yourself.

We'll be right back with more of a baller alert show.

When did you meet T?

I uh like, probably, shit, I don't know when did When did definitely in all the videos?

Shit, that had to be two thousand and one, two thousand and.

Two, Yeah, right before because I'm serious came out. He wasn't like popping popping, but he had a deal, so I knew around that time when they had dope boys in the trap and he didn't really pop to trap music.

So I met him through that.

I met him just passing by doing shows, and then he used to come to the Cut uptown at when we used to do Sunday Night with NAWD, So I met him through that. So in between all that, we just used to text through side kick and ship like that. That. Then then once he got trap music, he blew up,

Yeah, because you was in all the music videos at one at one.

Point because Atlanta was high at the time and I was here, you know what I'm saying.

Like I said, it was organically happening. It was just like I was.

I was the young comedian and like like even with Ludacris, Lucris used to host, used to used to be on the radio, so he a host the every every Tuesday Wednesday host the Tues that went to radio person host and he used to be there. So naturally you just meet people and through that and that's how we became cool. So it was just a natural thing at that time. Everybody Atlanta was bubbling at the time. You know, one

It was strategic because I was like, man, how is he in every video?

Because I was where it was at.

It's just like now, it's just like if you're on social media right now, if you in the mix of when everybody was bubbling, you just naturally in it. You know what I'm saying, and if you know what you're doing while you're in and you under I just understood where I was and I capitalized on the same thing

Then I know you're super cool with Charla Mane.

How did you guys get.

Cool social media? I met him. No, my space. I just met him. Yeah, I d M him or whatever was back then. We I was like, because he was on ozone magazine. I was on Ozone magazine. I did ten things I'm hating on. He had another little thing and so I hear them up. I was like, man, fuck with you to woo. I was like, we need to link up and do skits. I used to fly up to New York. I flew up in New York did the skits. And that was before skits was popping.

You know what I'm saying.

It's always been a media person. Just the industry has moved on to that. So it's it's just been natural. We've always been still cool to this day. I don't want to do what the fuck he do.

He don't want to do what I do. It's just the industry has moved to that.

So and they get to hear you every day on Donky other day went because he got you in the.

Drop for real.

Yeah, I didn't know that.

You see, I don't be I talk this nigga every day. I don't keep up with what he's doing. We just talk as friends, you know what I'm saying. And that's all we are.

Here's here.

He invented me about some ship that happened in there, and I vented him some ship.

We're friends. You know what I'm saying.

I don't ask him for shit, he don't ask me for shit.

But listen, that's our friendship is supposed to be, right, That's what I thought.

But I mean in this indagey like if you if you can't use your friends, it's used.

But I don't see it like that. You know, I like having friends that we ain't.

We wasn't built off of that, you know what I'm saying, even though actually I guess we was, but we really wasn't because we just organically did ship.

So because y'all real friends, like not industry friends, I think that's kind of what you.

Yeah, I'm a bad person to asks about how to get it, how to do ship, because I do shit organically. Everything I've done in my career I've actually did because I want to do.

I moved by my own drum. So I'm the wrong person to asks when.

It comes to how to make it because if you go by me, you're probably gonna fuck up because I'm just doing what I want to do.

Or you probably you probably just not gonna make it.

You might not because I mean if you go by actually you could if you if you follow my by by my were ideologies of life because I don't move by business.

I moved by being a genuine person. You know what I'm saying. You might not make it a billionaire, but you're gonna be happy in life. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

So we was talking off camera about like how the new generation of comedians, like everybody just doing anything to make it, and you know, like, what's some advice you would like really give people, like if.

They advice for these niggas.

I just I mean, I think we asked for too much advices, were looking for shit, like words to change shit. You just felt like everybody looked up to. I didn't really meet him. I just paid attention, you know what I'm saying. Like one of the people I looked up to, my first people looking up to was Deon Sanders because

And you know what I'm saying. He ain't.

I couldn't play no fucking football. But it's just the fact that he was from there, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it just gave me hope.

And I didn't.

I didn't meet him until I became somebody, you know what I'm saying. But it's just it gave an instilled with me. I didn't he didn't tell me, all right, do this do that. It's just I watched, so I tell people just watch.

I don't.

But it's probably annoying, right, like a lot of comedians.

That I don't mind it. You know what I'm saying, because once they used to do that. Andrew Shows used to aggravate the ship out of me about it. That's why I say, if you want something, you gonna have to pull it out of me, and it's gonna be people I give a fuck about. You know what I'm saying, because I feel like certain people shouldn't get certain ship.

You know, I am a fan of you on social media because you don't give a damn I.

Do, but I do. You know, I do care. I care.

I just you're freely typing.

You're freely that's where your advice is in the tweets.

Those are very good.

I said, I come from an era. I come from an era of social media where you said what's on your mind. It's not like a like, I'm not making a press release now, it's a press release everything you say. So when I'm talking, I'm just saying what's on my mind. I'm not saying it's facts, you know what I'm saying. Just this was on my mind. This is how I feel. But now we take it there these effects. This is what you're heard what Duvall said. He said, he said, you.

Just I don't know what y'all gonna be offended by. To y'all offended?

Do your team like, I don't care.

Now, I don't care if you get offended, you know what I'm saying. But I don't know. I'm not saying, all right, this is gonna really pull them off. You know what I'm saying.

Let's unless I'm just doing it just to be an asshole and it's just some some non threatning type ship. But it's never like I'm just like, oh yeah, I'm finna. I'm finna go go viral, Like I'm not the nigga that asked about how to go viral, because I really don't know.

I mean, you do viral stuff?

You do?

Are you still doing the Auntie of the I had.

To stop doing that because they start banning it because niggas start handing yeah like somehow yeah man, people, yes, that ship be that ship was lit niggas.

It was banding the motherfuckers.

But I do stuff like for the ecosystem, for us, you know what I'm saying, like when I do stuff, like my page is mostly for for all of us, you know what I'm saying, not just when I say Oh, I'm not just saying like niggas is just an ecosystem of people that grew up around what what that can identify with what I'm going through. The conversations, Yeah, conversation with like the podcast that I'm doing that I really didn't want to do.

You don't like media, so why are you doing it it?

I mean it's kind of like the people that you trust, they want me to do it, so I'm gonna do it, you know what I'm saying. Charlottagnet been trying to get me to do podcasts since he been doing Brilliandy, which I don't know how long that's been, that's been since first started, So trying to get me to do it. But like that's his lane, you see. Like I said, that's the media lane. That's never been my lane. But

So it was him.

Well, Clay actually talked me into doing it, so I was like, all right, if I do, I do it with you. It'll be me and Clay. It was supposed to be me and Clay, and then we got the check from the niggas.

Then he died then and then so now I'm doing it.

Because it's out of respect of my nigga, Clay and them, because they could have been took the money back, you know what I'm saying. So, but at the same time, that's what happens when you do shit with people that you fuck with, like with Dolly and Charlotte Mayne them. So I'm just doing it just out of respect, you know what I'm saying. And it actually I feel like they give me a chance to do it how I

So you said you.

Got hurt for people who don't know you actually got.

Hit by a car. Oh yeah, yeah, I got hit by a car. How did you get hit by a car? Can hit me?

The motherfucker hit me from the back while I was in the Bahamas. Mother lady hit me.

You have a lot of near death experiences, Yeah, I got a lot of them.

I'll be scared when you be posting your plane.

I ain't gonna lie why because it just looked like it's just one win away from it.

It's just never coming back.

Saying it because because this is why we're ignorant as a people, because we don't know.

But listen, all right, So the first time I ever flew private right right, I was like, where did you fly yet?

Yeah?

Yeah, it was a jet.

But I was like, I was like, how do people brag about I was like, I don't like this because it was like the turbulence.

I don't know, because you.

Know, like it's more turbulence in the commercial flights. I've had more turbulence. See with me, I don't fly unless I see the weather perfect, so I don't catch too much turbulence like I do.

But I don't not as much as I do.

On the cause you can kind of tell your pol is like, yo, go this way to avoid this weather.

Yeah, you can see the weather on your I got an app right now. I check the weather all the time, you know, called for a flight. All of everybody in aviation use it.

But I mean I do it too.

That's one of the things I do to to open our eyes up to understand the aviation because we really lost and you know, we really really know because the ship been going on for hundreds of years. When when planes invented, I got you, you know what I'm saying. So I mean, and how many niggas y'all know really got a plane for real?

I don't know anybody, That's my point.

And we should know because now it's evolving to where planes can damn them fly theyself now, so we gonna be handicapped, like while people you know how people have to catch the bus now rely on the bus. If you can't fly certain shit, you can't do certain shit. So I mean we should get into it, you know what I'm saying. And I mean it ain't for everybody, but in my business, it makes sense for me because I travel for a living, so it made sense for me to give a plane.

Yeah, and I always see in the comments, like people always be like, you're not scared of being on that little plane and stuff like, I mean, that's what.

That's what I used to say.

But after a while, like I've been flying for like six years now, so over time now they're starting to more people like into aviation, not just from watching people like me and other people like my man Male Mail the Traveler.

He does acrobatic aerobatic. I don't want to say it wrong.

He probably it's probably right, the wrong way to say it, but he make the planes flip and do all that type of shit, you know what I'm saying. So when you see people that look like you do it, you end up doing stuff like that. So that's the only reason that's I mean, that's one of the reason why I show it more on my page.

Yeah.

I like when you're posting content like that because it gives us something.

You are, what you see you have.

You have one of the rare things that a lot of comedians don't have. A number one Billboard single.

Yeah, that shit was big.

Now when you recorded that record look at my best life, my bad Yes, smile I could tell and correct me if I'm wrong. You just had a good ass time recording that shit.

Yeah, I mean, but I always have good times with All My songs come from something i'm doing or a joke. So that song came from a joke for me saying smile bitch on on Twitter and Instagram, you know what I'm saying, And so I built it off of that. So and I've always, like I said, I understood how social media was, and I understood how I was other songs I was making big just from being me. So I knew if I could make these songs big, I could do the same thing with me, you know what

I like football grease on that ball greas.

So once I did once I did that, I was like, oh, yeah, this next shit. But I didn't know it was gonna do as big as it was gonna do. When I read something, I threw it for like a joke. So when I go on my shows, I could just put it in my show. So to me, that's a win for it all. And so when I did it, I did it for that I was like, oh nah, this shit gonna hit, you know what I'm saying. But I was just gonna hit for like all my fans and

Like, oh nah, this ship Finn changed the world?

Did that ship did curse? But did that change some things for you? Because music? You were putting music out but never to this level before it changed in the way Billboard is really your.

No, because I was already making money before that. Honestly, it kind of because people don't know this, I ain't made a damn from that song?

What what?

Yeah, like they I ain't made a damn from that song yet, So it ain't like I mean not as far as from the record, you know what I'm saying. Well, that too, but it was a lot of other stuff. I don't feel like talking about that because I don't feel like flexing on the nigga.

Right, Okay, what made you chop off your infamous dreads because you had those four.

While it was a headache them bas had them had a vein going through heavy than a motherfucker man, So I cut them bitches off.

Listen, But you know, to cut off dreads. It's an experience.

You got to say, I don't want this shit no more because it take you a long time to get them to the length.

It didn't matter.

It ain't got that.

But you know, you know what though you you it worked out good for you because some people would cut their dreads and then they just lose all their hair.

Yeah, I did way before that. I was still young. I did well. My daughter was like two, so yeah, one or two, yeah.

Yeah, Because I have to say, some people in the hood like, man, how you were just you just had dreads.

Now now that was over time, like because most people when you catch me, like say fences, I don't know how to y'all. But like if you was in your thirties, you probably caught me when I had dreads. Then you start living life and the next thing you know, you see me without dreads. You like, hold up, I thought they had dreads. So but in that miss the time. That's been ten years, so you'll see when ten years down the line, people still thinking about you from ten years from now.

You're right about that.

So who would you say, who would you say? Your your top comedian is all right now?

Like in the game or do you even care? I don't care, man, I don't care, but I go with it. Jay Ski money bag, MAFIYEA have to tip them? Yeah? Who else the top?

I'm trying to think of people that I know funny but don't get enough looks. J. J. Williamson. That's the That's one of the funniest niggas that people don't know. J.

Williamson.

Yeah, he on the radio out there in Dallas, d D in the morning. I wish you would have told me it was gonna ask me this before this.

Who else? Erica duchess?

The type of duchess?

Yeah? And Green?

Now that's my boy. I like, I like that funny. Now I do want to talk about some kind.

Of deep because that's my guy too. Okay, we lost our guy, Clay. Yeah, I've no Clay for a very long time.

But I know that.

I know that hits you hard too, because was he your day to day manager.

He was more than my manager. He was like my older brother.

Okay, so a lot of people lost business stuff, but I lost like an older brother.

And Clay was a good guy man Like. It's hard to find people like that in this business, you know what. I mean, I said all the time, like you find genuine people like you got to keep them close because you.

Know how this business are.

Everybody act like they want to be your friends, that act like they want to help you and stuff like that, and it's.

Just it's really rare to find good people in this business.

Yeah it is. But he was one of the good ones, so that's why. That's why. But the good thing about it, I never.

Took him for granted, so and I always gave him his flowers while he's here.

So that's how. You got to never take nobody you love for granted, right.

I like that We the ones tour on right.

Now, Yep, all of us on that bitch.

We're showing how comedians can do their thing and show love and kill that bitch all in one. It's more than a comedy show. It's like a comedy concept. You know, we have a comedy a comedy party.

How'd you get the call for that?

It's something we always had in the making sense. Like the promoter I've been doing business with for like years, you know what I'm saying. He a little younger than me, but he always been doing this thing. So around when around, when smile bitch came along, we had an idea. It was like, yeah, we're gonna do something, be the next way, you know what I'm saying, And so it just evolved into this, and I mean it's took a time because with twenty twenty and all that stuff there, then I

Everybody getting along backstage.

Yeah, we have a great time.

Like anybody scared to going after certain.

After you, no, Actually it's like because honestly, I was supposed to be going last, you know what I'm saying, But like it's really me honestly, But but they they don't go they don't hesitate to go up after me. And like if I do have to go, let like we rotate. Honestly, like certain cities I do last, like in Florida. There's no way, you know what I'm saying, But like certain certain times and certain cities, I go last.

But if they go last, like we have. The main thing is staying on time.

I'm staying your time because no matter how funny you are, if you go over your time, it's after if it's six of us, it's gonna be like three hours. So last thing you're gonna it's gonna be a long time. So you want to respect your time. And it's honestly, the person that take the longest is probably met. Yeah, so I'll be taking he sometimes, like I tell him, I'm sorry. Shout out to d Ray because Deray he headline a lot, and you know, God, Derail fun.

Him mother, hilarious.

He wanted the greats for real last like joke for joke. Ain't too many people fucking with de Ray. So for Deraady to go last after all of us, and just for anybody to go after me, it's a lot. Because I do music, comedy, I do it all. You're out there performing, yeah, I tap dance.

You know, I think there's any another comedian that can go joke for joke for you in the ranking section session.

I don't rank like that, no more.

I don't even have like a I don't don't really think about it like that because.

So you're you're deactivated, you're deactivated in that in that area.

I just do what I do, man.

I don't like honestly, I pulled back to a lot because I feel like I can hurt people feelings I like.

I like to pull back, Like a lot.

Of times I spell niggas for real man because I'm an older niggas, so a lot of stuff that don't hurt me can kind of make another motherfucker, like get on the ledge or something. So I let people talk shit. I give people jokes together on me. I do it all the time, especially on social media.

So I don't.

I don't care what you say about me. You know what I'm saying. So I have to be conscious of what I see about the other people.

Because I was gonna ask you this those my next question. Do you care about what people say about your cousin? No, I really viral sometimes in a negative way.

I really don't let.

Me going crazy sometimes sometimes I don't take.

It personal with the women because I know they don't get it.

You feel like you got a lot of female fans, though.

I do.

When it's all the time. My big haters be black women. But my biggest supporter is this black women. You know what I'm saying, Like they the one showed me the most loved you know what I'm saying. So I don't. I don't have a problem with it. You know what I'm saying, It's just women being women.

Do you read?

Do you read the comments?

Sometimes?

Yeah, but they'd be entertaining me. Like it takes a lot, It takes everybody. It takes other people to tell me like, man, you need to delete that, or something like Robin or maybe Clay used to like.

Does he ever tell you deleting?

No charlamage be the one putting the battery in your back ship. You know what I'm saying.

But like me, I don't be like I said, I don't know what they're offended by until like it'd be like two three hours later and I'm looking at my name, I'm like, what the fuck? Like they made it. It don't be hitting me like that because they read it. You gotta think when you're reading something, you're reading in your in your mind, not in my mind. So like if you having a bad day, you and your man and guy in the argument and then talking about bitches,

Thirty? Yeah?

How long?

Let me see waits, there's no way you've been getting death threats that long.

Shit. You say thirty, since you've been about ten at.

Least it's maybe two.

Yeah.

Yeah, But I don't take it like like I don't know, maybe because I'm older, so I always looked at social media. That's why it was hard for me to understand cyber bullying. I'm like, how can you be mad? How can this person bully you on the internet.

From a device?

Yeah, I never understood that. Now I get it because people in their head more so than I am. So, but it's never bothered me. I've never got knocked off my school on social media.

You don't never have a bad day. Does anything stress you or anything like that. No, okay, answer this, then, how what's the mental space that you're in to be like that?

Come from programming? I program myself like this over time. That's why I say there's conversations. We just talking to our ass catch fire. It's what you do every day is who you are. You know, we all are creatures of habit. So by me every day, over time, I progressed into the person that you'all see right now. So whoever you're trying to be, you got to progress into that strategically and understand your programming. Understand the programming that

So I appreciate you spending some time.

Yeah, we appreciate you for stopping by.

Yo, I got I got another question too. So how did you get this plane?

I bought it?

What'd you buy?

I bought? Well? This is my I got three planes?

You have three planes?

Yeah? I bought my first plane. I landed. As soon as I landed, the PDK, that bitch cut off.

Do you fly your own plane?

Yeah? I do, well I haven't later because I got a pilot and that.

Like I said, I just getting back on the road, get back on my feet and ship like that. And my my flight struck, crash and died.

So that was enough. I got a life.

But I just it's a whole nother story. But anyway, so my my, uh, what happened was I learned through that. I learned through my first plane, just understanding, like how I learned, just put my going head first. So I bought a plane, learned about planes. Then gotta found a pilot and he taught me a lot. I got Blaine shot the Blaine now he works for a private company or whatever. And so through that I just learned. And over time, as I learned, I started sharing. Then I

Why uh why is ours messed up the most?

Because we was leaning on it so much and took it for granted. I think we took for granted instead of using it as an ecosystem because we was really doing great. But we're so busy chasing this over here that we said fuck this and now that this is nothing no more, we done left this just like just like segregation. You know what I'm saying. We did the same thing with this entertainment shit. So now it's how our arms reached, but it's too late now for this generation.

We're so glad that you're here still, you know, to share these stories even though I know you're reluctant.

Yeah, I see, I see.
