Only when you fly and I land and I just can't hear another flight forty eight hours right now for real? Man? Then you're like trying to like pop your ears and all that. Yeah, it's insane. Man. The older we get, the more broken down we become. I guess, what are you doing to preserve Bryson tilor you're working out drinking water. I've been drinking a lot of water.

Yeah yeah, squats, squats, you know I'm getting there. Yeah, it's tough, right, It is tough. Absolutely, it's making it out. By the way, Bryson Taylor out now, welcome to the show that that intro brought to you by DJ Fuse right there, DJ Fuse, come on, man's my favorite one. You gave us nineteen nineteen Crazy songs? Congratulations, Thank you. It's a lot of work. Yeah, you know, in a world of EPs, why nineteen songs? Why nineteen Because

it's gonna be the last one for a little while. You know, I'm taking a little little break. We're going back inside, going back inside, okay, and outside here and there with my with my kids and family. There you go. Is that the reason? Yeah, spend more time with family. That and I'm pursuing a game design right now, so that's like will be my favor saying video games and all that, right, yep, Yeah, it's crazy. So do you worry about what your fans are gonna

say or feel when they miss you? Because fans can love you, right, but when they miss you, they get very emotional, right Yeah, they do. Like people bug Rihanna all day for this album and she's like, yo, fuck y'all's you know, as long as you're not asking me to leave away? From my kids and something that I'm really passionate about, which is game design. Then it's cool. Is that the toughest part about

being a parent? Time? Yeah? It is absolutely yeah. And with your schedule, damn, you gotta feel very guilty at times, right all the time actually all the time. Yeah, all the time. Yeah. I mean I'm there with my kids all the time, and I feel guilty. So I can only imagine how you feel, you know what I mean? Yeah, because you miss out on a few things do man? Yeah? Man? Because of music? So is it a gift in the curse music? It definitely is. Yeah. I wish it wasn't. I wish,

you know, they could just be with me all the time. I could be with them, But it's tough. That's why I try to take them on the roll with me sometimes. You know, my daughter she's gonna be on the roll with me start and tomorrow. So that's amazing. Yeah, that's the way to do what. Let you know, you know, going back to to you, you know, game design, I think I admire that. It's it's you're you're leaving your comfort zone to really just go

after another dream of yours in and that in itself not easy. It's not it's not easy. But fans are just on a human level. You got to understand that, Like, yeah, you're doing what makes you happy. Yeah, man, we only get one life, you know, I might as well do exactly what makes you happy. Why should I spend, you know, the rest of my life doing something like you know, music made me happy for a very long time. It doesn't make me as happy as

it used to. I definitely have fun in there a lot of the time when I go in there, and I know I'm good at it, and I always be good at but yeah, I just I just want to do something else in my life. You know. For sure, I said I would drop my first game before I was thirty years old. I'm thirty one and I still haven't. So I'm racing the clock right now. You're racing the clock. Don't put too much pressure on your It's not good kind of

games are you entertaining? Like the ideas of what kind of games? Every every kind of game? You know. To be honest with you, I like I like all genres. Yeah, what's been the toughest part about game designing that you've like realized? Like, oh, I didn't even really know that this went into it. I mean, honestly, the toughest part because I've been doing a lot of research and stuff and there's only like a couple

minor mistakes that I made that could have been done. But I think that the toughest part is balancing my music career with that, because it's like I be on tour and it'd be hard to talk to my my devs on my art team, and it's just it gets a little Yeah, for sure, when you're on stage and performing, is that muscle memory it is? Yeah, Yeah, it's become muscle memory. So you can do that and then

get off stage and do something completely different. Absolutely right away, Yeah, right away, because you get on stage and it's just like you're feeling it. You've been here before, you're accustomed to it, and you can do it with your eyes closed. Yeah pretty much. Yeah, I'm there with it. But you're also there for the crowd too. I mean, you're that crowd. I mean, I know it's muscle memory, but the crowd

still feels like you're there just for them, and you are. Yeah, some of the crowds, uh can be a bit robotic, you know, but uh, and then there's other crowds who are just like electric and they're just like, oh my god, believe your here. It's just like that makes me sometimes forget the muscle memory and I'm just like doing new ship on stage here in the moment. Yeah yeah, yeah, man, I'm doing a backflip. Yeah, I'm glad for it. My throw. Yeah.

But sometimes when you say robotic, yeah, sometimes the crowd makes you work. Oh yeah, it's okay, that's fine, you know what I mean, Like, yeah, that's cool. Yeah. Who's been the biggest or best celebrity you've seen in the crowd when you're on stage. I've never seen a celebrity in the crowd. I only see him after after Yeah, you never see them like, yo, that's so and so right there, Like no, I don't really, I see like some diamond chains or not.

What's up, Jack? When you're on stage? How often is it that you forget your lyrics? Every now and then? Sometimes I might miss a cue or I might like skip certain like there'll be certain lyrics. I'm like, hen, what did I say? Right there? It yeah, not that often, especially like you said, muscle memory. So if I'm doing it long enough, then you know I'm pretty pretty good with that. If you can compare the music game to a video game? What what? What

video game would it be? Would it be Zelda? Would it be fucking Super Mario? Would it be Gta uh Frogger? What video game? And I go back to the video games, because that's what makes you happy right now, So I want to get the happiness out of you. You know I would. That's a great question. I will compare it to the game that I'm making right now, which I can't tell you. I we'll compare it to the game. We'll make it right now. It's a crazy game. I played it a few minutes ago already, No wow game, you

know what's crazy. I've always had the dream of, like one of my songs that I create, make it onto a video game. So I'm might have to stign into the DSH when the videos over, like when we get on the soundtrack. No, no, no. When I was twelve, I went on the Twitter activision. I used to go to buy and Girls Club and video games or something that I kind of enjoyed. I never really could afford video game calls soles, so I probably did so I didn't really

play. But video gids are always kind of like fire. Yeah, man, it's my life. Yeah, No, for sure, it's life, and so is music, and so is being a parent and a friend. Yeah, and family. Is it tough to balance? Man, it's gotta be. All I do is this radio show, and it's tough to balance. So I can only imagine your life. Yeah, it's pretty tough, right Yeah. Yeah man, So your family's blowing you up all days. Just where your kids are blowing you up all they want to talk to you.

You got to keep telling them that you're working. Like that's the worst. That's the worst. Right. It's tough because like my kid graduated today from his Kindertots and I wasn't able to be there because I'm here with you. Yeah, you know what I mean. I chose you over my Why Price and Chiller appreciate it. Creating core memories is what we're doing. Therapy, No, man, it's work. Work, work is is everything, you know what I mean. I grew up work ethic was extremely important,

and you show up. You know, it's kind of like being on stage, right, and like the process of creating an album, you have to show up not only for everyone around you, but you got to show up for yourself. Yeah right, and you got to bring these songs to life. Yeah. Man, that's the one thing that I had to learn earlier in my career. I didn't really know that. I was like Dann, people are coming to see me, believe that I'm me, and early on I didn't. I didn't. I look in the mirror and I didn't see

what other people saw. You know, Now I do, but uh, or or at least I'm getting there anyway. But yeah, yeah, man, you know, is KFC to people from Kentucky like like Taco Bell is the Mexicans in La probably Yeah, yeah, I would say Mexican consider Taco Bell like real Mexicans. I love Taco Bell, but yeah, you feel me. But are you a fan of KFC in Europe? In Europe?

Whye Europe? Because uh, you know, it's just sometimes you need a little slice of American back home whenever you overseas and everything's just you know, you order some you know, I don't know if the meals over there be crazy sometimes. But I did do a lot more dabbling this time. I was in Europe and just trying different foods and stuff, so you know, I didn't really eat too much fast food. You're going to Europe? Right? Yeah? So so next week, bro, where you going U?

Portugal, London, France? Oh okay, any tips, man, I'll take France. Yeah, go to Caesars. Caesars great, yeah, yeah yeah, Caesars restaurant. Yeah, it's a great restaurant. I love it. Great pasta. If it's yelled, how many money signs is on the yell? Right? Because I don't know she was working on radio budget. I never I'll give five stars for sure. Five stars? Are you saying you're payings for the first meal? That's what you're here to say? You

come on, man, I'm speak up overseas. I followed Night Trained and I see videos of the actual shows. Man, energy is crazy, even on the pre show, like him just dropping a few records up the crowd. I'm like, I can just imagine when when you when you're on stage performing, like the level goes I was twenty. Yeah, he gets him ready for me, for sure, they be turned up for Night TREMP. But he's also just an excellent DJ. You know, he really knows what

he's doing. He's a star himself. So yeah, how did that? How did that link up happen? Organically. Man. I went to a club out here called the Highlight Room for the first time, and I was just in love with the music. I was like, Yo, what is happening right now? That feels like a dream or something. This is the first time I ever it's the first time I ever enjoyed a club. So then I was like, I gotta go say something to the DJ. And

it was night train, you know. I walked up to him like, Yo, bro, this is amazing, and then you know we've just been locked in ever since. That's what's up. Did he fan out? Nah? He sees everybody up right, fool, He's used to it, right, Yeah, yeah, I got yes, yes, sir, man. Has anyone corrected you on the spicy like to hendline? Wow because it's not spicy? No, because it's pronounced da heen. No, you said him. No, I didn't to him. I didn't say to him he said

to him in the song. No, I said's spicy like to He absolutely not play it right? Now, play it right down, play right. You might say he somewhere, but there's there's to him clearly in there, and we always look at each other like, yo, does he know he's saying it wrong, but I understand sometimes the music you have to change the way the words sound. The first thing, the some song line I said before that was what, uh, she don't hold a damn thing thing.

She's spicy like I was. It was in that was what I was rhyming with. I don't remember what the line was before that. For the record, I'm team Brice and Dog. I know it's got Definitely don't say we're not even its wild. I didn't say. I have seen people spell it like that whenever they're doing like drink menus for me and stuff. I'm like, that's not that's not you spelled. Are you a fan of the heen? Uh? Yeah, you put it on the fruit. I had it

with a drink one time. Yeah, so you think that he belongs on drinks as like. I didn't mind it, you know, yeah, it's fine on the rim, right, Pauls. Yeah, Like, Bro, I'll stop you said it. I mean you laughed time he reminded you of his bully, that's right. If he told him that he reminded me a bully that you had back in the day. Damn, I don't even what you said to make you said, it's the way I look for real?

You bullied by Mexicans? Is that the problem I'm trying to Yeah, that's crazy, Child's going crazy to Congratulations, Thank you bro for sure, man. Yeah, that's it's gotta be a special song right on the project. Yeah yeah, it is definitely one of the definitely the standouts. Yah. Yeah, it's kind of like the opposite or whatever she wants to because it's like whatever she wants is like I'm I'm gonna spend it all. It's whatever you want, and Child's like I'm tired to spend them Like on you man,

I ain't getting none out of this. Get your own job. I ain't getting none out of this. I'm out. Yeah, you wrote the problem and the solution. Yeah, you got to offer the problem like that. Absolutely outside it's crazy as well, Thank you, thank you. And the content in the music as well. I believe that it was chosen very carefully and peacefully. Is Does that make sense? Yeah? Yeah, it

makes perfect sense. I was you know, there was a lot of different layers of love that I wanted to make sure, like I just thought about versus like my first album drop, So it was like really just one mood and the mood was like me trying to get somebody back on me, talking about right my wrongs and just it being like something bad going on in the relationship or whatever about how I missed somebody. I'm longing for a woman I

used to be with, a woman I used to be with. This album is just like there's a different mood for each song, you know what I'm saying. So, like the first song on the album was called Attention. I wanted it to be a very sensual song without talking about sex at all. I never mentioned sex, but I wanted to make women feel that carefully,

like you know, walked around it. Yeah. Yeah. And then you know there's songs like Found My Way where it's just like it feels more like, man, I'm in love and it's is just this is just what it is. And then there's whatever she wants. It's just different layers of just things that you go through and love. You know what I mean? Those are those are our experiences as human beings, right exactly. We're saying one day we're insane, the next we're in love. We're not in love.

We wanna we want a whole phase, we don't want a whole phase. Yeah, it's a lot of you know, there's a lot We're complex humans, man, we're human beings. So I try to tell Jackie Eltown it was just human beings, you know what I'm saying. She hates men. That's why she's got, she's got, you know what I mean. But she's it's always it's always a thing with men. I don't understand, but maybe it's maybe it's our fault as men. It always is man,

it always accord. That's right, that's her model. Yeah, as a person this year, what do you think you're doing different than last year to be better? I don't really hear too many other outside voices like that. You know, sometimes you hear you play other people's voices in your head, like when you're doing stuff, and I'm just I've just gotten a lot better at like tuning it out and just doing me, just having fun. Because

at the end of the day, I was just thinking about it. I was like, Man, if I'm crazy for thinking that I'm dope or I'm a dope artist, or that I can make a dope game and that I could be a game designer, then call me crazy. I'm just gonna live and living that delusion and just you know, because I only get one life, Like, why not If this just makes me crazy, then I'm crazy, I guess. But there's a fine line with delusion R. Because there's

some people I'm sure that have sent you music. Oh yeah, I have asked you to hear music, and you're like, you just don't have it, you don't get it, you know, they just they just there's a disconnect, you know. But even me, like when I first started off, everybody starts somewhere, you know what I mean. Like I used to be the guy DMM. I used to send Soldier boy Ding messages on Xbox Live like yo, and check out my music, man, you know what

I mean? And I was trash at that time, you know, not the best anyway, But everybody starts somewhere, So you know, maybe they didn't got to figure it out right now, but you know, five years from now, you know them me not seeing their message, that definitely can be fuel for them to be like, I gotta get better. I just I want this person to hear me and respect me. So you ever get a chance to tell Soldier boy yo, bro, you slept on me. I wouldn't even say he slept on me. He said, he just probably

has never seen it. He was the hottest thing, and he's busy being soldier boy. Yeah, exactly, yeah, soldier boy telling that's our guy, Soldier Boy's legend. Man. Absolutely, yeah, nobody can take that away from him. Good dude. He still needs to send us something though, right a topic, Forday price to tell it? Yo? Do you fight off the urge to get like a face cat? I was just talking

to people about this. I was thinking, I just don't want I got the kids, and I'm just like, not that you can't have face tatsing kids. I just be thinking about going to school and dropping them off, and I'm just like, they already see me as the just the black baby daddy probably and I'm just like, you're a celebrity guess no, no, no, no, I'm talking about yeah, And I'm just like, I don't, I don't. Yeah, I'm just I'd rather just keep it all, keep it clean, yeah, yea yeah yeah. So do you cover

up when you go to school? I mean other I mean you can't really see my they don't really see my hands like that. Yeah, So for sure, Yeah, there's got to be teachers throwing it, throwing themselves at you nah nah teachers eight at least nope. Lunch later the lunch lady.
