They've been really tough. We've hit we have hit a howl we've hit a Picket playoff ticket rookie auto grants Kyle Katera to 99 Eagles Me too Shane. I expected more also winning ticket Rogers We've hit a lot of Olave though So Skymores like there were the good receivers aren't too tough to hit we've hit a couple of Garrett Wilson's AJ Dylan back Jones Ticket stub Hutchinson was nice Mario Goodrich rookie ticket auto Eagles. Yeah, but nothing truly like huge huge I'm a bit surprised Avery Williams Avery Williams rookie ticket auto Falcons Joe burrow Hey, that might be that might be the case Shane that might be the case for that case AJ Brown Jalen Hertz See a ticket stub though. It's all the edges Careless ticket stub Logan Hall Buccaneers one of the last teams taken 78 out of 90 your ticket auto.  Superstars crown jewels its penance and it's admit one go Seattle Tramming ride Yeah, they met you at 25 is definitely one of the nicer hits today for sure that definitely definitely good cousins and Jefferson Oh, yeah, gold medal hutch was good too. I just don't know like Where that falls like the market because it's brand new and it's metal. I don't know where exactly that'll fall That was definitely. Yes. That's what that was a nicer hit Broncos gladiators John L. Way to 25 Rope on Smith there Next auto is Hassan Haskins variation RPS with the Titans Justin Jefferson Maybe we'll finish the daytime with a bang here. Come on pretty Super Bowl ticket. Come on now And here is Super Bowl ticket. Oh redemption that could be big. Come on It's got more Zach Taylor coaches ticket there it is Bengals Wow, so redemption Bengals Zach Taylor coaches ticket. That's an interesting one to get I Would imagine that's actually pretty solid That is the first coach He's a good one too Darian Butler rookie ticket auto Raiders He's hilarious It really is Yeah, John L. Way, I'm Andy Reed is a chase though for sure Charlie color rookie ticket auto Ravens My home Supernatural in there as well. All right box three What's going on it? Brian Burns That's probably not the place to take that. You know what I mean? I think I know the exact one too. It's like a Pre-release one Cave on tibido rookie ticket auto for the Giants. It's probably also not the place to go sell something like it's all like Willis Cameron Dicker Chargers rookie ticket auto.  You got to see what's just pulled Yeah, dude Cameron Dicker The kicker we got him That's a lanes boy of Texas legends Kennedy Brooks Eagles rookie ticket auto. That was just like the perfect name for more chase Cameron Dicker sake one Breeze Hall Channing Tyndall a lot of his auto than this rookie ticket auto dolphins Kelsey thanks again for selling us out dates. I'm everybody. Hey, Marino there Sam's live at five court Kings PYT's grunkowski Patriots gladiators grunkowski Commanders fedarian Matt this rookie ticket auto MVP contenders Tom Brady as a buccaneer Josh Allen supernatural round numbers Damian Pierce is a mere white Touchdown tandem's Justin Jefferson and Kurt Cousins 9 of 25 for the Vikings 9 of 25 digs and Allen Browns David Bell rookie ticket auto or RPS. I should say and George Pickens Who No They related. Oh, that's a printing plate. That's not a silver.  That's awesome, man All in the plate, too. We'll get that mag. I'm gonna send a box I don't I think it's a point that they're not gonna be able to replace a printing plate Maybe they'll give you like points or something. There's like something on it I'm not sure if that really matter again. I'm not sure if it matters a whole heck of a lot It's it's a printing plate. They're littered. They're like damaged in use. So well, it's in a box I mean, I don't know the protocol something like that Congrats Pats either way beautiful Lamar Jackson. Yeah, there's that's probably the biggest one today so far then It's probably it right there supernatural Mahomes Yeah, literally not a card literally a plate.  Look at that rams auto. It's a 49 to 2 coach autos Actually, this doesn't count as coaches ticket.  Congrats on that one Ricky the year Garrett Wilson AJ Brown and Hertz Dickie V I remember him in a Invincible Yeah, he signed coach like a title Jerome Ford rookie ticket auto Browns You line that up so clean That's another looks like you like had a no card underneath maybe he did he might have that is so clean. That's great Good for him. I ain't got perfect. I would never sign that nice on a sticker or ever I can't I don't sign that nice to begin with so Okay, we're like heating up in this box is an oddball box in a good way, but like Dick Vermeel auto Bailey zappy plate Jalen waddle dolphins number to 199 playoff ticket Randy Troy Anderson Falcons rookie ticket auto Marshall folk Christian Watson So the guy we haven't seen today is Christian Watson Only seen like one dots and two Peyton Hendershot rookie ticket out of with the Cowboys Maybe we've seen a one day wider sauce and tippa dough. Maybe if you can tenders Derek Harvey will pull some big hits and Show people what cork hangs all about SSPs and all that power players the Neal Hunter Herschel Walker Texas Ranger a meet-and-greet. I mean You know where we are. We're always in the shop. Hey, it's either that or the national basically That's pretty much a hey speaking of there. He has one Dale Robinson variation rookie ticket RPS So I started we haven't seen a party today either or Ritter We haven't seen either of those guys. There's a one Dale Jmo and Johan Jmo and Johan sounds like a radio show Michael Pittman, Jr. Colts on the Sunday ticket out of seven to ten nice it for the Colts seven to ten One of the last teams are no not in this one Trevor Lawrence MVP contenders St. Brown and golf wrong legendary contenders Pax Jordan stout rookie ticket auto Ravens Micah Parsons Malik Willis rookie of the year Jerry Rice Samori to Ray Oh, it's a cracked ice Samori to ray 14 at 22 Packers rookie ticket auto Packers It's hoping for honestly probably one of the other two actors, but you know your cracked ice Can't complain Brian Dawkins We're always meeting and greeting always saying hey to people on the stream Jamar Chase Ryan Stonehouse Ryan Stonehouse Ricky ticket out of Titan Stonehouse Corkings Breeze Hall Corkings Adams car Corkings ripping after this one guys. Thank you very much for your patience today Took a little while to sell some of the brakes and we fell behind after like the first one I always happens on release. They fall behind for the first break It's getting used to the products. There's Aaron Rodgers. I agree Shane. I agree Pickett rookie of the year TJ Watt to 99 glad eaters Steelers power plays power play yours. Sorry Jamal Adams Josh Allen Jamo and John Aaron Jones playoff ticket to 199 Green Bay Allen and digs redemption or them redemption so far with Zach Taylor and Kenny Pickett They're interesting redemptions. I'll say that Kenny Pickett rookie ticket RPS It'd be great that'll be on card great last RPS of the daytime Bernie rookie ticket RPS. That'd be the vertical on the non-variation that'll probably do better than the variation. I would have to imagine usually how it works with Cards for whatever reason Zachary Carter playoff ticket rookie auto bangles to 99 Kelsey there Still hit a pick a pretty technically Mac Jones Michael Parsons because he's he's not RPS He's worth the ticket. So that's probably like the only benefit. That's probably like the only benefit of Pretty being a sticker. So you can get him and pick it in the same case TK Quattariano rookie ticket auto for the Texans Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, definitely best half case of the day For sure for sure. We saved the best for last I guess Sometimes it'd be like that zone of a night rookie ticket auto jets Nick Bolton Malik Willis Reggie Roberson jr. Rookie playoff ticket auto to 99 Titans There we go. Another numbered hit to always good John Taylor One more auto maybe If we already had the five, I don't know Percy Butler rookie ticket auto commanders Percy Butler Percy's Percy's question mark Hmm That's what it was good Reese Hall Ricky there. Yes, you're gonna get all time per Percy's question mark. Oh, okay. It's not a huge deal I'm just confused to what happened sweet Let's do a recap and they were on to court Kings last break of the daytime everybody. All right. We had Percy Butler Reggie Roberson jr. Roberson, maybe zone of a night TK Quattariano Zachary Carter Ryan Stonehouse crack dice Samori Toure Packers Jordan stout pitman to 10 for the Colts Wanda Robinson RPS paid Hender stout paint Hender shot Troy Anderson drew him for Dick Vermeel for the Rams In signature there David Bell for Darian Mathis Channing Tyndall Kennedy Brooks Cameron Dicker cave on tippadoe Charlie Collar Darren Butler Zach Taylor coaches ticket redemption for the Bengals. I pretty solid one right there. I think It's on Haskins ticket stub is a Logan Hall for the Bucks It's a 90 Avery Williams Mario Goodrich Grant Calcutta era Malcolm Rodriguez Chris Olavae Joshua Corbin. See how me will Mac Kenny Pickett RPS redemption for the Steelers and printing plates RPS one-of-one Bailey zappy variation We're gonna send a box. I'm not sure if I do anything about the plate. There's like Not even like a chip. There's just something like a reef surface Yeah, it's like like something to actually put this on the back of it It's like a resurface something because that's not the original plate obviously and that will do it. Thanks again, everybody Congrats on the zappy. It's my biggest card during the daytime here. Thanks again, everybody. I want a court king


Welcome back to the channel. If you're new here, my name is Rick and normally I make videos on heating air conditioning and refrigeration, and I also do home standby generators. And today we're going to be doing a review on the OAPS Mega 2. The OAPS Mega 2 is a brand new series out from OAPS that offers 2,500 watts of pure sine wave power with a 2048 watt hour battery. The OAPS brand has been known for making reliable units at affordable price without all the bells and whistles. Now with the release of the Mega series, they've offered a few of those features that they didn't in the past. Now one of the big features is the ability to add expansion batteries to the unit. This one allows you to add up to four additional batteries taking your power from 2,048 watt hours up to 10,240 watt hours. And if the Mega 2 series is not large enough for your needs, they also make the Mega 3 and Mega 5 series which have even more capacity. Another very useful feature is the UPS battery backup system. You can now plug this straight into the wall and power your device and when the power would go out, it'll automatically switch over in as little as 20 microseconds. This is going to allow you to have battery backup for your computer, multiple different items, whether it be a lift chair, CPAP machine, whatever the case is, you're going to be able to power those with uninterruptible power. Now in order to charge the lithium ion phosphate battery that has 3,500 life cycles to 80%, you're able to charge that with an AC wall outlet at up to 1,600 watts of power and you can do it from solar at up to 2,100 watts of power, which you can combine both of these together to give you up to 3,700 watts of power to charge at one time which can knock your charging time down to as little as 36 minutes. Now I do mention that it does have the lithium phosphate battery because it's a safer battery and a longer lasting battery than lithium ion. And OPS is able to offer all these things plus a three-year warranty for a power station of this size in the 2,500 watt range, all for the lowest price on the market. Right now they are able to beat out the Blue Eddy, EcoFlow and the Jackery. Now before you think that I'm a statue stuck behind here in a monotone voice, let's get started with some invasive testing making sure that it provides the power that it's rated for, that the actual battery is lasting as long as they say it will, that the charge rates happen where they happen at, that the sine waves pure just like you see it down below. What voltage does it actually operate? How does it operate under load and is it worth buying? And right now through December 2023 OPS is running some of the biggest sales of the season. And with my discount HVACR you can save even more money. I'll have links down in the description below so be sure to check those out. All right so what I like about the layout here is it's very clean and it's simplified. The display is very easy to read. It doesn't have any fancy jargon on it. It's watts in, watts out. What's your hours left? You have your rotary dial here that basically tells you whether it's going in or going out and then the percentage it's actually there. Down below confirms whether you've got the output for the USBs on or the AC or the DC over here and it's just simple layout. On the top left hand side here we have a 30 amp 12 volt Anderson output plug. Below that we have two USB-C PD100 watt quick charge and directly below that then we have four USB-A quick charge 3.0s and you have the power switch down here below. Over here on the right hand side we have the 12 volt card charger plug as a rubber boot right over top of it to keep the muck and stuff out. And below that we have two of the DC 5521 plugs which both of these are actually rated at 10 amps.  Then down here on the bottom we start off with a total of four 20 amp 120 volt outlets. Then off to the right we have 120 volt 30 amp RV plug which it's a 30 amp plug but it's only still rated at 2,500 watts. So don't let that confuse you that you think you can actually pull 30 amps out of it because the device is not rated for that. Now over here to the left hand side we have two high speed fans which these are a little bit noisy but I would rather have my appliance running cool than I would have it running hot and quiet. Heat is what destroys batteries and that's what destroys electronics. So that's one of the only negatives I've seen so far is that it's a little bit noisy. Down below here's your extra batteries plug into it which you've got a plug right there. Now this is a 48 volt system so these batteries are tested in right now at 56.52 volts which in theory is a 48 volt system that is on both of these two different prongs here. This is I believe a proprietary plug so they do not recommend you use other people's batteries however they do give you a lot of plug adapters so that you can use other people's solar panels. Another nice surprise was they included quite a few extra cables to make your setup a little easier. We have an Anderson to MC4 that's a 14 gauge cable in the middle. We have an Anderson to Anderson which has got a 12 gauge conductor in the center of it. We have an Anderson to 7909 and that is also a 14 gauge conductor in the middle. And finally we have a 12 volt to Anderson charging port. This is so that you can charge it off the car while you're driving. This is rated for 10 amps. It has a 14 gauge conductor in the inside and it has a 15 amp fuse glass fuse there in the end of it. That obviously is going to charge if you do the basic math here 10 amps times 12 volts or 13 volts you're only coming to come in at around 100 to 120 watt charging speed. And with 2048 watt hours it's going to take you a little while to charge up but if you're traveling you know it's free power. And on the other side we have another set of fans which like I said they're big into their cooling which is going to make the equipment run longer. You've got two fans going in here and two fans on the back side dragging the air across. On the inside here we have an Anderson plug adapter that's rated for 12 volts to 150 volts. This is where you're going to plug in your solar or your car charger. The total maximum input is 15 amps on that. Directly below that is our 100 to 120 volt plug. It's rated at 16 amps and finally we have our 120 volt plug here. This is a 14 gauge cable. It does have a little bit different plug on the end as you can see there that's two flat ones. Generally what you're going to see is more along the lines of this one on my left. There's also quite a size difference there between the two of them. Just something worth noting. And up here on top we have two big old go handles that you can grab a hold of for easy carrying. So this is rated at 48.5 pounds so it is manageable to be carried around and for those out there that don't have a lot of room this is 18.1 inches wide 12 inches tall and 10.6 inches deep. Okay we just did the full load test on it. We ran it at about 900 watts continuous until the system completely depleted down to zero percent. The meter came in at 1.85 kilowatt hours and that comes in at about 91 percent efficient. That's really good. All right so we went ahead and did it a second time here wanted to see if it was accurate even with the battery dead at 118 volts. Let's go down 1.9 kilowatt hours. So that comes in right at 92.8 percent efficient. That's pretty pretty good. That's the best I've had so far. And ran that 900 watt load for about two hours and 10 minutes. All right so we just begun the charging process. We went completely from zero. Currently you're charging right around the 15 to 1600 mark that you've seen right there at the bottom right corner. We're going to do a audio test here to see how noisy it is. We are right at about a foot distance away from it. Let's open the silence and see what we got. Now the fans are very noticeable. Now let's go ahead and stop the unit. We'll see what the normal ambient is without it running at all. So the noise floor in the room right now is right around 40 to 41 dB. All right so right now we've got an electric heater on there. We've got our oscilloscope running to show our sine wave. We've got our multimeter over here telling us what our actual output voltage is. We have an inductive load down there which we can watch that here. You can see we're pulling 5.1 amps on the blower motor with a power factor of 0.81 power factors how your amperage and your voltage is on the sine wave. Most of these tests with resistive tests is a perfect one power factor. When you get capacitive tests involved in it things start getting a little wonky and they get a little different. But we're going to go ahead and just kind of run that all together now and see where we can max out at. Right now as you can see on the display here we're running right in at 1800 watts. Heater's on high, blower's running. Now we're going to add one more resistive load here which takes us right to 2500 watts. It's dropping a touch. We are holding right in at 119 volts. Sine wave over here is perfectly stable to a point. We have a little bit of funkiness going on in the middle but you can see we're holding in there fine at 2500. We do have a little bit of room to work with but anything over 2500 you're going to max out and right there you go she flat lined and shut down. Going back over to our code E01 output overload protected.  It takes a second, boom instantly comes back up 119 volts. You can see when you're really hammering down on it how fast you can drain that battery down. A lot of times I think people don't really understand exactly what's going on here. This is not a gas generator where if you just keep putting fuel into it it just keeps running. This has so much fuel and it's rated in watt hours. As you take those watts out of there that depletes your battery and you have to recharge it obviously. If you have a solar panel that's going to help bring that back in but as you can see for the most part we are pretty clean on our sine wave here which looks really good. We're holding in perfectly at 60 hertz which we can see down at the bottom. You can also see it over here running perfectly at 60 hertz. That's important for your electronics. Now this has a 5400 watt surge capacity but what that means is up back down nice and quick up back down. It's not going to sustain it for a long duration of time. We're talking seconds or less. Now something I'm going to note which I just found out. So let's look at that sine wave. You've got a little wonkiness going on in here. What that is is basically noise. When we unplug the blower it instantly goes away. So we have noise on the line. That's why I wanted to do an inductive load versus a resistive load. A resistive load is what your electric heaters are. It's a constant amperage and voltage. As soon as it comes on boom instantly stays there. To give you a quick example how that is we turn on the heater. Instantly goes right to 11.312 amps. You can see on a resistive load your power factor is one. That means the voltage and the current is perfectly in sync with one another on that AC sine wave. But when you get the sine wave out of whack and you can see right there the sine wave is holding pretty darn steady there. That's also with the motor running. As soon as we pull that motor off instantan cleans up. So what you're seeing there is the wave form disturbance because of the motor. All right now we're going to go ahead and get into the testing of the 12 volt section. We've got the Anderson plug that you can charge it with actually plugged into the 12 volt car plug here. We're bringing that down here. You should never coil your wires up like this but for demonstration purposes I'm keeping it short so that you can see that we're actually testing it right off the outlet. We're using this because it's actually heavier rated so we're bringing it down to the Anderson plug to the gators down to the actual DC tester. What this test is going to tell us is does it actually produce 10 amps of current and what does it actually trip out at. As we can see down here we're right at 12.7 volts. We're going to go ahead and start out with our current. We're going to go ahead and take this right up to 10 amps. Right now we're pulling right at the 10 amp mark. Our amp reach like I said is also down here digitally and the voltage that we're at is right here. So we're right at 12 volts. All right now we're going to go ahead and do by tenths and we're going to see where we actually trip out at. You can see our voltage here on the left hand side is holding in there steady right now. So 11.1 amps is where it shuts down at. This thing's designed to last a long time. It's got protection pretty much for about everything under the sun. I counted up a total of about 27 different codes that can give you for potential protections. So what we have right here is the E10. E10 comes as cigarette lighter port overloaded or shorted circuit. So it tells you exactly what's going on there. It tells you how to reset it, which what you have to do is hit your button here, turn it off, turn it back on, and you're good to go again. Now we're going to go ahead and test out that 5521 plug. We're going to use the adapter, plug it right into the unit. Now the cable that comes with it isn't the heaviest gauge in the world. As you can tell we're at 11.3 volts. So we do have some voltage drop. You can feel a little bit of warmth in the wire after some time. I mean it's not to the point where it's going to melt it down or anything like that, but you can tell that it's maxing out to its total capacity. We'll go ahead and take this up one by one and see where it trips out at. Now when you look up here to the top we are pulling 141 watts, but you can also see that right down here at the bottom, which that tells us that the meter on the device is accurate. We're at 10.2 13.4 15.6 17.9 17.1 Shut down at the same amperage. Now the way I like to test my PD ports is by actually using a device that will charge at the wattage that it's going to charge at. So what we've got here is we have the USB-C going through the meter, going right into the quick charge port. As you can tell it picked up the protocol that it's running at. We're running at 20 volts. We're running in at 4.72 amps and we're right in at 96 watts. Now our next test is going to prove that we're able to do 100 watts, which we already have that plugged in directly. You can see the meter here on the left hand side is right in at 89. We've got another USB-C coming out of there, coming over to our converter plug, which is on our meter and this is where we're going to be able to put a load on it. We're going to go ahead and start cranking the wattage up on the USB-C on the side here. Now you've got to look at something here. This is something a lot of people don't notice and I didn't know it at first either. Look at the voltage now that USB-C is putting out because it doesn't have the protocol going on, that handshake that I told you earlier. It went ahead and went to default, which is like four and a half volts. So this one here is going to max out at about three amps. Right now we're pulling right at three and a half amps, which is what that's rated at. We'll go ahead and take it a couple more watts up and we'll go ahead until she trips out. Now it's going to most likely shut both of them off. So we got a max of 18 watts out of the one. So what happened there is the voltage actually dropped down far enough that the meter shut itself off, but we're still charging up here on the computer. You can see that we actually have the yellow dot, orange dot there. So just a quick screenshot for you. You can see that those are going to be either three amps at five volts, nine volts, or 12 volts, or 15 volts, and then five amps at 20 volts. So it really depends on the handshake what's going on there with the protocol. I'm not going to get into a deep discussion on how the USB system works, but that is basically why you won't see a higher wattage coming out of that port because it didn't go to the higher voltage. Volt times amps is how you get your wattage. P over IE, basic owns law here. Now this cable is an anchor cable, which usually is high quality stuff. I believe it was rated for 100 watts. We're going to go ahead and test out the USB-A plug here. So we'll go ahead and plug it into that one. So right now we're right at 5.1 volts, starting off right now at 10 watts. We're at 4.8 volts, 11, 11 watts, 12 watts, 13 watts, 14 watts, 15 watts. We're pulling right at 3.1 amps right now. So theoretically we're already at the max of what it's supposed to do, but let's go ahead and push it a little further. 16 watts, boom, shuts down. So it's protecting itself. So if you have a phone that's not working right and it's pulling too many amps, the system is going to shut itself down. It went off on an E011. E011 is USB-A port overloaded or short circuits. They haven't nailed down to a T exactly which port is malfunctioning. Just hit your DC button down there that reset the code. Now we've got the Anderson in here. I'm not able to put a 30 amp load on this. This can only go up to 180 watts. So right now we're at 12.15 volts, zero watts. All right, at 175 watts, we're still at 12.18 volts. Current is at 14.3 amps. It is able to at least do half of what it's rated at. I don't have any 12-volt appliances that pull that kind of current. So we are able to do at least half the load test on that. Now we're going to go ahead and test the battery backup section. Down here on bottom we have the wattage coming in. We have the wattage going out which is powering the laptop. Like I said the laptop is being powered off the transformer. There's no batteries installed. You can see that the voltage coming out of the unit is 119 volts. So what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and unplug from the wall. You're going to watch that voltage change. It changed for a split second and it did not lose the screen. Now let's go ahead and do it again. See if we can confuse it. So I just heard it click. I'm going to plug it again. Didn't lose the screen. Plug it back in. There. Just click. Unplug it again. So it is switching back and forth. No problem. 20 milliseconds seems to be enough for most computers. You'll need to test that out with your device that you use before you actually need it. But as you see the voltage right here is 120. Perfectly steady off of the unit. If I plug it back in you'll see that it is going to change to what the utility is which may go up to 122. Yep. 122 volts. Now just in case you're thinking I'm trying to trick you to prove that it's actually plugged into the power supply, there goes the computer. So it works. All right. So we're going to go over the app real quick here. As you can see I'm on the iPhone. We're looking at the Mega 2 right there in front of us. We're going to click on that. It's connected right now on Bluetooth. This can do it on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth both. To do Wi-Fi you'll have to add it to the network. So in the left hand side you can see the input is zero.  You can see the wattage starting to go up. Now on the output obviously we have nothing. I just clicked on that. You can see the AC is on. Now it's off. Click it again. Turn it on. Down to the 12 volt DC right underneath the AC. See I turned it off. I can turn it on. Just clicking on the circle button turns them on and turns them off. So you've got a read out here at the top. You've already chose. You can see what the temperature is of the battery. You can see what your level is. I'm going to go ahead and unplug this. So up in the top right hand corner you see the little gear. You click on that. You can rename the unit. Call it whatever you want. You can share the device. You can send that to somebody else. You got the temperature measurement. You can go sell to use a Fahrenheit. Here is the auto timeout. This is where you can shut the unit down if it's not being used. So never all the way up to 24 hours. You got the screen timeout. You can have it shut off in seconds to never. You've got the AC timeout there. Same deal.   You have a firmware update there. You got to make sure that you're connected to Wi-Fi. Asked questions and then specifications. This is going to show you what the device has available to it.  And there you go. For the most part this app is very basic. It's the first app I think they've came out with so it's got some work to be done on it I believe. But it works. It's functional but you know there's some quirks to it here and there that I noticed but for the most part I don't use it very often but it's there if you need it. All right there you have it. This is the Ops Mega 2. So run down of everything that it does and what it doesn't do. For the most part I think it does pretty much everything that's rated for. The app I like I said is a little glitchy. The door on the side here you've got to be careful. If it's super cold out that rubber can be brittle and you can break the bottom of it like I did. I'm sure if I got ahold of the factory they would swap it out. Other than that everything arrived like it should. The box was double boxed. It had a very thick insulation in there to protect it from the ride over. The only thing I think negative wise like I said would be potentially the noise from the fans but once again do you want it to overheat or what do you want to deal with a little noise? Well guys that's going to wrap the review up. I think as you've seen the Ops Mega 2 here is a huge improvement over the previous models with the new features. The price point is the best out there right now. There is all kinds of sales going on right now in December so if you're wanting to get one and you didn't get what you wanted for Christmas right now December 2023 is the time to act.  So if you guys have any questions leave them down below. Make sure you check out my links that help support the channel. There is a discount code down there. Like I said HVACR will get you an extra $50 area off and until next time guys we'll catch you on the next one. Thanks for watching.


The Austrian Economics Research Conference is really the premier event of Austrian economics. This is where people show up from all over the world who do research in Austrian economic theory, and this is where it happens basically. The AERC of course attracts a few students as well as professional academics, and so it's very nice to see what's happening with Austrian economics getting out into academic institutions around the world. For a young academic, there's no better place to get feedback on your work. It's an extremely important conference, the reason being that it really is the only one like it in the world. In addition to learning the conventional economics that most graduate programs teach, they can come here and they can also get this instruction in what the Austrian school is all about. It's a great place to create connections, to build relationships, to be inspired by other people's work. At the core of Austrian economics is strictly causal relationships, therefore genuine applications to the real world. And so the standard for research is much higher. The Austrian Economics Research Conference is just one crucial step in the research process where that standard is tested. So many Austrian scholars all gather together. It's a unique opportunity. And it includes cutting edge research on Austrian economics as well as applications to current events of Austrian economics. So much of what we do at the Mises Institute is aimed at students and younger people and lay persons, but this is really our core academic conference. And it's an excellent opportunity for young and rising Austrian economists to meet one another, to network, and help each other find positions in universities across the globe. To support AERC, please give today.


And I'm here with the lovely official Miss Jamaica What's going on? Not in my day, I'll work on Man, another day This is the day that the law is made I'll be, you know, glad and rejoice in it You say another dollar You don't want no more than that? Of course Okay, check it, man Say, man, check it, we got a great man Should I say East Texas Finest? That sounds right I'm talking about a man, one who I've been watching her I was gon' sign him myself I had already, I had set a mission out I don't know what that was I was like, who, find a journey Then I found out, oh, she signed to Mama Scott I said, damn I definitely was going for you Like, I was like, I'm gon' find that girl I promise you I will You don't even realize that That's great But I didn't know, and you know, I didn't know you I seen you on that, check it, man Journey is in the building, what's going on? What's up? Like, I like them with too fast You know what I'm talking about? He was ready, I was ready for the conversation today So, check it So, what's up, baby? What do you think about Journey? I've been hearing about Journey for a while from you Yeah, I'm telling you right now I had already- They talk about the hardest females in East Texas Your name always came up It always came up But like I said, before I even knew Because I was first, I was like, man I was looking at that cipher I was like, that's the one right there That's the one Not lyrically, you know It wasn't even about the lyrical ability I mean, I always tell the story about Yellow how I would have signed him Over any other rapper in Dallas Because of the way that he looks And the way that I feel I can sell a person Or give him to- I'm talking about making a big deal Making a lot of money You know what I'm saying? So I need that image to be right So that's what I look at And then I looked at your overall persona You know, so how you doing? I'm good Yeah?    Journey I was born with Journey I'm, I don't know My mama, they did this So my name always been there And my mama's told me So that is your government name? That's my government name Okay That's on my birth certificate, Journey Okay, because you know A lot of artists have their Nicknames, yeah Right, so I wasn't sure And actually when I was Actually about to take a series And about to start I was like, what should I do my name? I was like, bitch, your name is Journey Like, I was like, okay That's a great name So you always wanted to rap? I always did music I've always wrote, like since a little kid Done music How old were you when you first started to write? Probably about four Wow And why did you start writing? Um, I went through a lot of trauma As a little kid A lot of different things Out there, a lot of abuse As a little kid, so I had to do At four? At four I had a little Situation that happened when I was four years old So it was bad It was trauma for me So I had to go to therapy Like every day So you went to counseling? Yeah, counseling Does that help? Did that help you? Oh, that's a great question No, not to me at all Because the only way I feel like Counseling help is If you're talking to somebody That's actually been through The same thing that you've been through They hire people by the book If you're sitting here And telling me about a book You don't really understand Where I'm coming from You know what I'm saying? I can't really listen to you say Oh, you're going to be fine If you're not going through What I'm going through So how do you know? You're reading everything out of that textbook I could have went and got the textbook And did that myself You know? I totally agree with you Except from the part where My mind thinks about things in different ways So like for me personally I don't have to physically go through something To understand where a person came from And to feel it And by being a therapist Depends on how long they've been a therapist That's the main thing They've been a therapist for a very long time And hearing these situations over and over And learning from all these people Who've been through certain things Then they would be equipped to help you And you're right And it'll help for some people But then you have some other people That need to see it Okay, let me explain this to you I live in real life You got people that live in real life You have people that live in fantasy You have people that live in all different So I live in literally real Everything has to make sense to me Reality So if I'm going through counseling I can't go with no book I have to go with somebody that Understands me on a deeper level That's just everybody being different You know what I'm saying? So for those cases They should have therapists for that You know what I'm saying? There's different people in the world So now everybody's going to take that information The same way You know what I'm saying? So that's how I know it didn't work for me Because as a little kid The abuse that I went through Okay, I'm four, right? So I understand what I went through But not really that much But as I'm going through counseling You're reminding me every day Of what happened at four Now it's playing in my head I'm four years old, you know what I'm saying? I'm not a 15-year-old I'm not a 14-year-old where I'm dreaming I started dreaming after going to counseling Because they've reminded me so much Asking me what happened over and over And over and over and over and over and over And over and over and over again That now I'm having nightmares You know what I'm saying? So they need to have different ways to attack you Especially a child Especially a child Yes, especially a child And with Ronas, yeah And being at that age You weren't equipped to go to mom and dad and say This is the wrong therapist Yeah, I don't know anything Yes, I don't know anything So all I'm knowing is I'm here They told me something bad happened And now I'm sitting here with these people And they keep reminding me about something that's bad That's happening and they telling me to be afraid Maybe you need to go back to the right people And start talking to them and letting them know this Because there are other kids at four-year-olds Or even younger who are going through what you are going through Now you understand what I said in my major was psychology Because I want to be able to help kids Because I went through that You know what I'm saying?  You said therapy didn't help you But do you feel now that you have overcame your abuse? I think I have Of course, I mean, I'm still sitting here Right But a lot of people can be sitting here And still have Yeah, can you open up and talk about it? I actually can Because we had a guy that came in from And I always bring him up North Carolina name was Arkevious Was it Armstrong?  And there's different ways to attack that You don't really want to go in there If you're four years old You really don't want to go in there Keep asking her or him What happened that night? What happened that day? What happened that night? What happened that day? What happened... And they'll keep asking you that Okay, put it to you like this Okay, okay, but hold on Keep that train of thought Do you think that they're asking a child this so many times Because they're trying to figure out if it's the truth? Yes, that's one of the things But with trying to do that You're not thinking about the kid though You know what I'm saying? You're not thinking about the kid at all Y'all just thinking about And y'all doing this, okay So they're asking me And I was actually smart So I could tell you At four years old what happened to me Had happened to me Verbate them I told them verbate them A lot of kids not doing that Now at four years old a lot of kids are not doing that Verbate them I was telling them what happened, how it happened And they told me that I was too young To take the stand, to testify So nothing happened You know what I'm saying? So y'all just wasting my time Now I got nightmares, I got to go to counseling I had to do counseling all the way to the age of 15 Wow And that was when I said I'm not doing it Was that person ever prosecuted for? Because you know, if they did it at one time They probably did it against somebody else Possibly, but I mean, I don't know Is that person still around? I don't know Never So you've never seen them again?  I was thinking about that You see what I'm saying? Because at some point It can be a situation where it gets It gets falling and confusing, you know This is sort of, I I only have had in my lifetime Two official boyfriends Two, only, like just With me day to day, every day You know, that's who I talk to That's who, only two I have not, because I was so traumatized Like How has it affected Did it ever, looking back on those relationships Had it affected your relationship?  And with my hurt, it's like, it's real different Like, I, you know I'm a resent, you know I want to ever just resent it, you know And I'll get to a point where I just resent it And I'll leave it alone forever, you know And who wants to do that? No, I think the main thing is the trust in God You know, that's the start That's the foundation No matter what, you know That's the foundation If you have a situation like that Because you got to clean your slate I went through situations Right So in order for me to change I had to reconform and retran- You know, transform my thinking Change your thinking And then you have to like Open up to Yeah, you do To people that want to help you Only to people that want to help you Because I'm a real close person Please believe, like, I don't talk I am, I'm really awesome in a car Like, I had a punch for real But it's when you hold stuff in That makes you so much more angry And so much more sad And so much more depressed So much more worse So when the people that's actually That's genuinely in your know Who genuinely wants to help Sometimes you push everybody away That you don't really, you know Because you want to put yourself in a box You don't want to talk to nobody You want to talk about the situation It hurts It's like, why, why me? Who, what did I do? It's all those different types of questions But you know what, I look at situations No matter how bad Because no matter what you've been through in life There's always somebody out there who hasn't worked So if you're still here on this earth I believe that everybody goes through things As a testimony to help others So if you come out of self for a second Or for a year for the rest of your life And say, my life is for somebody else My testimony is for somebody else Yes, it's very sad that I had to go through this At a young age But I'm going to help some other kids I'm going to help that parent To see certain signs What's going on with this child Because I was this child Because a lot of parents don't see the signs Because they're too busy Whether working, doing this, doing that So they don't see the signs Because kids are not going to open up With certain situations Because that person, whoever is doing this to them Is either threatening them, fooling them, whatever And kids, they might have been developed enough To be able to judge certain things yet So the education also comes to the parents It does It definitely does It most definitely does You know, the thing I can tell you Is to make sure that, you know If you get an opportunity to maybe do a podcast Or maybe to do some, you know Just talk about it and help somebody That's the plan most definitely To do something where you can interact with You know, like people People who follow you Who support you So that when you're talking to them You know, they can feel your heart You know what I mean? That's important We got so many different outlets now Where you can, you know Basically, you can do it through a podcast But you can do it through also just lives And all type of things So, and I think that's a good thing to do But I want to, let's move forward Does your fans know about this yet? Do my fans know? I mean, I ain't just publicly like this thing You know She first got to start connecting with them I don't know if you go live and do stuff with them I'm used to You have to just keep that up I need to keep it on there Say, man, that's the new wave You can't be out here You're right If you ain't doing it Then I'm on you I'm on your knit I used to in my stuff What used to be Yeah, it's going to make people know who you are I mean, I think that's the most powerful outlet We have in social media And the way you connect with those people You got a thing that you do for us The music go But then also They want to know who you are Because they're your supporters They're your fans That's dope, man So going back into the music So you said at four years old That's the reason why you started writing And channeling all your therapy into your music That was basically one of the little So that's really what helped you Yeah, they gave you Something they gave you to do They was like, you know, you should write Yeah, that's something they gave me Like I said, it's things that they did have That was good things But it was things that just I mean, I think God is ultimately The one who's in control of everything So whatever happened to you It happened for a reason And it would be to help somebody Because that's the way God works So the music, when did you first know Well, I can go on and move forward When did you first start taking the music serious? Just a year ago Just a year ago? Yeah, because I was playing basketball Right When did you do that cipher? That wasn't that long ago Really? Was that like seven months, maybe Maybe seven months now That was like a year or two ago And I only been rapping for a year So when y'all went Okay, I heard y'all was doing another one Yeah, we posted through the video on the 30th Did you do the verse already?

She had surgery about it Like around the time she was doing it So she didn't get to do it Was that the one from Paris? She from Marshall Okay You talking about Yams Yeah Yams is from Paris Okay So was it a... What do you think this one's gonna be As far as the first one was? I think it's gonna be hard I don't think it's gonna be better than the first one I mean, I'm just being honest But I think it's gonna be hard though You don't know That's good It's calling what the people say Hey, that was... You asked me my opinion That's how I'm finished You asked me my opinion Like the first one was iffy You know what I'm saying? Yeah I just... It's hard I'm saying it's hard But I just...

Yeah, I get you But you can get slept on You ain't got the right people backing you or they not putting you where you need to be But look I finna get you right here I finna get you another example She's gonna get me right here All right You can get slept on in basketball All right Oh, here we go It's got personal now No, I'm just saying I'll give you another example I'll just give you I'll just give you another example Give it Give it I'll just give you another example But what I mean You can get slept on Okay, talk to you Just like in the industry You can rap, you got talent Okay, just like in basketball You can play, you got skills You got talent Okay, what?  But it don't always happen in every, like go back to the basketball. You have some people who are right up the top because of politics, because their parents are, you know, whatever, but not in every school. Not in every school, but this is what you just said though, because of politics. Some, that's right. But then you should give me the, but some are on top because of their talents. And it is, and that's why I said, he just asked me, did I think Megan Desire, I do. I just said that there are other people in the industry, just like there's other people that will be on the bench that deserve to play, that did not play. Yeah, my partner would like that. He wouldn't stop shooting every time they put him out there. He said, I'm for to get mine. We was up there. He said, I'm the best on the team. And then Comrade, shout out Comrade. Comrade will shoot that ball. And he tell me, he look back at me, he say, you watch when I get out there. He's a good colleague, he say, watch. Did he say another? Boy, that nigga be open though. For that five, about two or three minutes. I said, that nigga best, I said that nigga, he didn't miss nothing. You know what I'm talking about? Every shot went in out. He say, nigga, that coach don't like me, boy. But I went in. I said, damn, you a bad dude, man. And I'll never forget that. So I get where you saying that. But I do say, like if Luqisha, she's on quality control. Makia. Luqia. And Luqia. And she's on quality control. Where the NYP and their main pushing her like she told to in Coach K. You see where I'm coming from? That's it. That structure has a lot to do with it as well. And if they're doing the thing they do, are they doing the same thing they're doing for the other girls? What's them girls name? Them two, the one go to jail and come out. Yeah. City girl. The city girl. I don't want to go to jail. And then the other one. What's the other one that they got over there? But it's the, it's the, the image though. Like she, Luqia hard. Okay. City girl's hard too. But they got two different images though. They, city girls got a ratchet image. And as far as women and as far as girl fans, they like the most simple stuff. They like bars from guys. They not about to listen to that from a girl. And I promise you, I swear I'm a girl and I did, I was listening to music before I was rapping.  Luqia reps hard. It's bar after bar after bar. And it's a lot of stuff that'll go over your head. A lot of girls are not listening to that. And I promise you that. I, you should know. So, so that's what I'm saying is the image and it's the different styles. And what I'm saying is, Luqia is hard though. She's hard. Yeah, she's hard bro. She's hard. She's super dope. I like people that say that's talking about somebody. She's slept on, yeah. Is it that she can't pick her own beat? So what's going on with her? When she puts something out, what it do? It do numbers. Okay, well, but she, she in a better place than me. I'd like to be signed in QC Hill. Let me get over there, Hill. I got three, I got about six bars for them, Nichols. You know what I'm talking about? Coach K, holla at me, Nichols. You know what I'm talking about? So no, so what do you think that it's going to take for journey to, you know, be recognized, truly recognized and get her recognition in the industry.  Let's talk about you.  Just keep stepping on this. Like I'm real, like I say, I'm humble and I'm so content. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm so content with myself though. How much y'all putting out over there? How many times? What else you done did this year, Hill? You know, I want to know what the work has to give. What the work has to give. Listen, the reason I had my first interview on Real Street Life because of song, it was because of pressure. It was spinning all around and down. I heard my wife listening earlier. Yeah, and it was without LaRunny first. Okay. Then I made the decision to add LaRunny because I thought that would be a good, you know, it made sense. Yeah, yeah. And it did what it was supposed to do. Yeah, it was dope. You know what I'm saying? And then I did videos in between then. I did a little freestyle. And then I just did a video with Big Molly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, I've been working for a little, you know. For the time that you've been getting down. For the time that, you know. Yeah. I was working quicker than a lot of people. A lot of people, yeah. Well, I mean, but it's being strategically done, of course. You know. Yeah, it's gotta make sense. Yeah, gotta make sense.  You got something? No. So, even like, so you say you did basketball for a while, but you stopped. You didn't finish school doing basketball? I just did them two years. Just did it two years. Oh, junior college. So, when you were young and you started doing basketball, did you ever want to be like in a WNBA and all of that? Did you think the basketball was gonna take you? Cause most people who play sports. Yeah, of course, of course I had that dream. Of course, in the end, that was very possible. Like, I could have finished playing. So, you weren't that good? Yeah, I really was, like, but it just was a school.  I wasn't, I was journey. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was big journey.  I was big journey. What's that other girl named? I ain't possibly Sheryl. I'm Lisa Leslie. They are their own people. Look, you can't name me tonight, right? Candace Parker, Scarlett Bigelady. Oh, oh, oh. Don't call me. Yeah, I didn't met them. I didn't know. So you, and I have two on one time. Did you get some props? One time. You got some props, though? I don't play basketball. I talk. I promise when I met them. They probably said that nigga can talk. That nigga talking nigga right there. No, but.  Dealing with, you know, the situations that you face in basketball and stuff?  Yeah, yeah.  It's bad. It's bad. The girl can talk crazy. Hey, I mean, I tell one, I tell one girl that I pull her by her in the game. If she pushed me one more time, cause she was really playing a little bit too much for me. Yeah.  But they taught, so that's probably the best to end the end. And that's when pressure came. Yeah, that's when it broke. Yeah. I know you said that when you finished school, cause you said you wanted to do psychology and you weren't able to do that in junior college. But I always go back to everything you go through in life helps you for where you're supposed to go. So looking back at your college years and the things that you did learn, is there anything you took away from that to help you to where you are right now? I ain't even allowed to say how I was, this is how I knew college wasn't for me.  I wasn't though, I wasn't partying. You were sneaking in and out of dorms. I mean, it wasn't though. I snuck in the dorm, don't try to play me. That's fine though, but I really wasn't though. I didn't know that. I was just lazy. Was anybody sneaking in the dorm? You knew somebody sneaking in the dorm. Y'all was all women, one-man dorm or what? We couldn't even play like that though. I was at a, I was at a hot, like my junior college was D1, junior college though. Like it was, the security was tiered. Like you are, you are doing that. Like you had to have a key card and the girls and board key cards and I work on the same. Yeah, so, but what it was for me is I was just lazy. Like I knew it wasn't for me when it was like, I was not going to class. I just wasn't going. I had no desire. But like I was telling you earlier, I was in classes that had nothing to do with what I was trying to do. I was in classes. Like I just- But when you were in college, did you know you wanted to do psychology? Yeah. When you were in college? Yeah, that's why I picked that. You went back to your like a counselor and say, hey, I need to switch. Did you tell them? No, my counselor was my coach. Already. Let's talk about the music. Let's get to this music for this interview be over. I'm saying, come on now. Let's talk about your song, Pressure. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about it. When Lil' Ronny did his verse, did you think it was good enough? Shout out Lil' Ronny to be on the show before. For sure. He did what he was supposed to do. He did it exactly. I'm on the journey and I'm at the journey and I'm like, oh, hey, yo. So how was that? It was nice. It was a real good experience for me. You know, that was my first time working with somebody. Do you know this? He's working with a lot of people from Iggy Ozil. He wrote for her, Milado. So that's a good portfolio to be honest with. He's the next person you would want to work with. They're male or female? Right now, I ain't nobody. You don't want to work with nobody. Somebody, okay, let me narrow it down. None of them. Somebody, no. Okay, somebody who you know that is very realistic right now. You can get that person real easy, but you know that they go hard. You're like, I could do an amazing song with them.  Okay, I could do the build your game up first because the other one, I don't know. But the build your game, Megan, Nicki Minaj. Yeah, that's it. Nicki, for sure, like. For sure, I mean. For sure. Yeah, for sure. Because I like Megan too. I always talk about Megan. So with that other one, I don't know. I'm just, right now I don't really want to do features or nobody. I feel like that pressure put me in a good position to like, I got different people looking at me now. I got different, you know. So now, cause people ain't even heard. I'm such a versatile like artist. People ain't even heard. Y'all just heard that one particular song and maybe other people have listened to my music, but not everybody. So when I drop this tape, like I want to see what that do. I want to do videos off that tape. I want to see where that take me. Like I'm getting a different fan base. It's real different. I got different things happening for me. I remember when I first started and I had to see my stuff out, like to different blogs and send it out to different people, just for them to go look at it. Like I don't even have to do that no more. I wake up and I post something and blogs are already posting it for me. You know what I'm saying? Yes, work. Now that I'm here, I want to take it.  What's your style? What would you consider your style to be? Cause you say that they only know this part of you.  What would you consider yourself? A journey. Already.  Like when you think about a journey, a journey goes up and down. Up and down every way. Anyway. Well, let me ask you this. Do you, when you went, you say futures, you don't really do the big Molly deal when you went down there to Miami. What was, I mean, did you enjoy doing that? What was the process? How did that whole thing end up happening?  As far as, and like they say, if you don't invest in yourself in this industry, you will go nowhere. Already.  Like I'm not just about to pick somebody just cause, oh, their name is this. Like if I don't like how you make music, I'm not about to make music with you. I'm just being honest. How did you find her? I've been following her for a little bit. Like I actually listened to her before I started making music. So I've been, you know, been listening to her. So is she, I mean, she been around for how long, how long she been rapping, do you know? But when you first found her? I found her like a year before I started rapping. But she been rapping for a little minute. That's what she was telling me, like a young lady. Is she signed or is she? She's co-star with the babies people. Okay. So, and all right. That's good. And when you found her, did she ever, did she hear about you at that time? Did she know exactly who you was? No, not yet, but she followed me soon. Yeah. It happened like that.  And then when they lock in and see what you're doing, I see that a lot. And she listen to autumn songs and when we first met, she was like, yeah. Yeah. I rock with them, you know what I mean?  Yeah, for sure. Yeah. So, okay. So how did you end up getting Mama Scott to manage you? Oh, so I was on a, I was actually in a group with Smitty. That's a crazy thing. It was on, we was in the same group. It was called Pit down in East Texas. And it was with this guy named Ken. Okay. And he was basically supposed to be our manager. It just, that didn't work. Like it was just a mess. So Smitty left first. She actually left first. And so I was still there and other people that was on the team too. And I just, I was missing so much money. Like it was just too much. People was trying to give me those features. And he was supposed to be my manager. And it just wasn't, it wasn't working. So I had already talked to Mama Scott at one time. And she was like, I'm not signing nobody, you know, right now she just really was just stuck on there. So, no, I called again. I called it one more time. You gotta be persistent. Cause yeah, he gonna take me over there. I like that. I like it. And really what it was is they had already my team now they already had heard about me though. So that's really what got me inside the door too. Cause they was already talking about me too. So that's really the only reason she if it hadn't happened with them, it's not that long, not that long at all. Cause I've only been doing it for a year there. And I signed like not even halfway. I don't think in between, you know, here. But thank God that you did. I think you guys are blessing. I like what you guys are doing. I like how y'all are moving. I like the unity. I think they're, I think it's respecting structure and people see that. And I think that's something that people in the industry respect, you know, when I see all these guys, whether it be any of the guys that, that really is serious about it, whether it be Trey or whether TI or Power Wild, whoever they had a good structure team behind them or, or, you know, even, even Lil Wayne when I seen him, it's just the way that they move. It's, it's a unit, you know what I'm saying? And that, that makes the difference. So when is your next project dropping? I'm shooting for July the 23rd. That's how my birthday is. Really easy.  Leo, I started Leo. Okay, you started, you do. You actually do. I started, I started. Okay. My mom was on the first to July. Okay, well July people still, that's still July.  She's like, you got a good mind. One of my best friends, she and Leo, she's the 22nd and I'm the 23rd. Oh, that's you. And she was my roommate in college. Oh yeah. So when, I need my beat man. Let me, let me give my stuff together here. Body else's beat, I can do an instrumental. Okay. Do a big Yavo freestyle. Girl, big Yavo. Big Yavo freestyle instrumental. Got it here. See if I like it. Yeah man. Hold up, hold up. We're gonna bring that back. Hold on, I gotta check and make sure. Okay. Let me hear that whole drop. She say, okay, go. All right, let's get it. Check it man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, check it man. Check it man. We about to go on a journey man. It's about to go down man. I'll let you boy. It's a unique culture. I think I'm going too fast. Eight of my play didn't care it was my last.  They want to owe me, but they knew me official. I took me some time. Now come get your issue. Find these demons with blood on the tissue. I thought it was period, so I had to diss you.  This nothing new I've been feeling like this. All of that talking hoe you can get hit.   It's not respected if she can't address me. Hey man, check it man. Say it man. Check it man. She gonna what? She gonna address you? Ah, it's not respected if she can't address me. Say it man. So how does that make you feel when you do the music? You love it? You feel it? I like it. It's actually something that I, you know. Does it take you somewhere else? It do. That's, I thought so. It do. It takes me away from all your trouble. Release my, that's it man. Release my inner self a little bit. Something like, and like I said, you girls are talented man. Like I love, that's what I do. I bring the girls on. Let them free. I don't do nothing with the dudes. I know. I seen that. He like to mess with the girls. No, because I feel like they kind of get overlooked. So I was like, I'm gonna do this different. And I'm gonna start with my lesson. Like both they go wrapped on here and the piece wrapped on here. The guys, a couple of them. But not like I do the girls. I always make them. I tell them, I'm like, you gotta have me something. Cause I know already that it motivates other girls when they see that. And you know, they know they could do it. Like it's a lot of little girls and came, remember there was a little girl came up here and she was like, he helped me to get into music. Cause they can see all those pictures and stuff. They've been there for years and it's like, I don't really want to deal with it. But I figured when I got an outlet, I would do something like this to give them motivation and show them that, you know, somebody who knows who's gonna see what. It's the way. For sure. Like who knows who's gonna see what. Girls are popping right now.  I like the way y'all get at it. They ain't. I really like it. Cause it's huge. You wanted the main contributors. Hey, I'm just proud to be a part of it. I just want everybody to be. I wish we all could, you know, be on the same page with you know, I wish it wouldn't, cause I can't wake up in the morning and hate on nobody. Absolutely nobody. If I wake up and I'm hating, put me back to sleep. It's somewhere wrong. You know what I'm saying? That's bars right there. I'm so serious about that. If you wake up and worry about somebody else every day, like you will never have time for yourself. But as I always say, if you feed negativity, that's gonna roll over into your life. And that's gonna just not be a good combination. Yeah. Possibly. So do you think that, you know, you feel like within the next year you're gonna get more strategic about how you're doing things? Yeah. And you think you're gonna get better and live? Yeah, I actually am now. Like I am now starting to change my way I attack beats and different stuff like that. You know, I was doing, you know, when I was doing videos, I wasn't really taking it serious. My videos, I was just thinking about being consistent. That's all it was about. But it's about the visual tools. I had to learn that. So I'm doing stuff different already. So I'm sure to get even more. When y'all did that first cipher, like I said, I seen y'all was like, man, I need her. But it wasn't about you was the best rapper. It's just overall as an artist, I look at the overall picture in my mind, like I can make money with her. I didn't even know you was tall actually. I should have picked up on that. I didn't know you was tall to you walking that door. Then I was squatting down. Yeah, I didn't know. I didn't know. Because everybody's short. I'm like a lot of short people around me. I didn't notice it. And then I was like, man, you know, I was like, dang, she tall. But even when I seen it, it just, you stuck out. It's like she could be the one. I'm pretty sure you were in heels too. I do. I don't like it though. You know what I'm saying? But I've wear it like, when I was shooting a video with Jeff when we were shooting the little running video, he was like, she need to take them heels off. She gonna be tall and runny. Everybody said, Jeff, so what I'm gonna do if I go on the BT awards and I'm tall and everybody's saying, I'm not taking my heels off. Everybody see how short Lil' Runny is. Already, man.  So I think he's, he probably seen the music in you like I did. And it was like, cause he definitely had to look at the song and be like, yeah, I wanna get on that thing, you know? So I'm pretty sure he knew the overall artist before he even made that move. He's real strategic about how he do things for his brand. And I liked that in Lil' Runny. And when he came on here, it's just a lot, real professional. He gave us some key pointers cause we were just starting out in this. He showed us love. He came on here when nobody else did. And it's people like that. You really can't just step around over. You gotta always give them respect. Yes, for sure. You know what I'm saying?  Thank you. Oh man, I go hard. I can go either way. You can go real professional. I can go real crazy. I can do it all, you know what I'm saying? I'm the same way. But I definitely love your energy.  Definitely, cause see you going places as far as way far and beyond, you know. The thing I look at when I'm dealing with the artist is just the ROI. Like the big question is, you get the views. You getting the acknowledgement. How do we get our artists to gain, you know, the creative control, the monetarily, the shows ain't where they used to be. We gotta build that part back up. How do we get our artists in the positions where they pretty much is organic because they need to be, and far as the monetarily thing and the things that they're putting the work in for, they be, you know, pretty much compensated for it. You know what I'm saying? Cause they deserve it, you know? And I think the music, because of the way that they're pushing it out on platforms, I think they're watering it down a lot of times because they don't have the same essence as it used to have. You know what I mean? And I think that hurts us a lot. I think a lot of it come because everybody can do music now. Every nigga got a drum machine. It's not about rapping, I'ma. Yeah, yeah, he ain't all these niggas, this trash out there. You gotta feel it through the trash to get to the good stuff. Yeah. And it's just tough, you know? It is, it is. Cause you gotta have something really, if you wanna be under, you gotta have something special about you that draw attention. Like I tell people all the time, I was the journey before I started rapping. I had a lot of followers. This is facts in high school. Wow. I had 10,000 followers as a freshman. Like I ain't saying, so it was not nothing new to me. You know what I'm saying? What year was that? That was, I graduated in 2017, so. Yeah, that's about when I did my, I had a rent about that. Just cause you got 10,000 followers, don't mean you got 10,000 dollars. I was pissed in here. I was like, followers don't equate to money, nigga, y'all ain't got no money. And I was in this store, I'm telling you.  You can go back and look. I said, these niggas tricking, niggas with all these niggas following niggas. I said, really ain't no money in it. Nigga, I got bread, what's up, you know? And that's the way I was going in. And I got a little upset cause I seen a lot of fakeness. Girls that had a lot of followers thought they was all that and didn't have no money.  And right where we are today, people just pretty much rejecting something and a lot of it, niggas buying views and all. How do you feel about people buying views? It's just, I don't know. I mean, if that's what you wanna do, I guess. I think it's something to do, you know what I'm saying? As far as if it's in the right place to do it. I mean, like these folks don't do it right though. If you gonna do it, like make it make sense. Bro, you got 500 followers and you got 500,000 views on the video. And they're like, who are you? Like, who are you trying to fool? Say on them, it's like, what are you talking about? I've seen them like this. That's what it be for me. What would a Chinese dude in the company, you know what I'm saying? It's a video, it's a video. It's talking about why I didn't, let me just be like. This is what it was about. But it's crazy how these views be doing though, how these people be buying them. You could tell, yo, you could tell, you know, and then where they gonna do their show at? Cause them Chinese people in the comments they ain't go buy them show tickets. And I'm just saying, like if you buying views though, so like as you DMing yourself too. You gotta be doing something. I don't know, I'm like, where they gonna do their show? I don't know, they DM yourself too. It really is kind of like that's the return. But it's not really, when you look at life and you see people, you used to see them weird people that you really wouldn't deal with. That's the same thing online. It's like, it's a world though. It's a social media world. To each their own. But you see you have a lot of fake people on social media and yes, we're outraged at how many people are doing all of that and how much of social media is fake. But then when you look at people in real life, you could have a friend that you've been knowing for years but they really been showing you the fake themselves for all this time, you don't ever know. So some people are fake in person, not just physically, but I'm talking internally. They're not really letting you know the real themselves. You know what I mean? Right, right. But see the thing about them being in person though, they in person. So whatever outcome you need to come out of that, you can get that. If you got somebody that's thugging on the internet because they know that you can't find them, that's why they thugging on the internet. Yeah, that's a whole other different situation that you know. I respect somebody being fake to me in my face. I promise you that and it might sound weird but I would respect somebody more be a fake to me in my face. You doing that in my face. She coming back to me to somebody else talking about me but she's in my face. Then somebody that's on the internet that I don't even know who it is. I'm trying to figure out who it is and you trying to bully me off the internet. When I was young, I mean, it's the same thing. You won't get it, but if you were me and you seen where I come from, that's that same person that do it on the internet you should call and hang up. Yeah, that is, it is. It is, it's the right hand to do your no-collar ID. That is the same person. No, it's the same person. It's like it's the same thing. But you had an idea of who that was. Now you don't know who it is. Seriously, that person that called you no-collar, you can't tell me y'all didn't have an idea of who that was. You had options of who they probably were. In your mind. In your mind, that's what I'm saying, but you... I mean, nine times out of 10, I was usually right. I don't know about nobody else, but I was usually right.  You have some bad kids out there who would just dial random number that you do not know from no one. Yeah, but them the same, but they're the same group. Them the same kids that be calling now on the duo and it be by 30 of them in your phone, it's the same people. You know I'm telling the truth.   But I know it's the same thing. Yeah, it is. It is, but in a different way. It is, but in a different way though, cause you might get a phone call that no-collar did, it wouldn't all the time, you know, a threat or something. It might be, you know, this is SpongeBob, do you want a Krabby Patty? It might be something like that. I used to call. I'm calling it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, but... Is your ice box running? Yes. Yeah? Nah, you better go catch it then. Yes! Okay, but see how sometimes it was fun.  These is trying to be funny.  That's what I'm saying. It's the difference.     Who is you talking to? Yeah. And then you can't see them. And then you can't see them. I put a post out the other day. I was like, I miss school days.  You had to see me. See y'all, we had a school and stuff and y'all ain't got to see these folks. If people get grown, they ain't got to see these people no more. They in their own humble face and they can be whoever they want to be on the internet. Real life. Real, that's real. You know what I mean? Like, these dudes, they portraying images and you know, at the end of the day, we got to find a way to turn into our ROI. We want to make a return investment off some of this foolishness that's going on. We got to figure that part out. And we can equate all the foolishness to dollars and we rich. You know what I'm saying?   Everybody says to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.   I see why you doing this, sir. But when you, when it's not none of that, why are you doing this then? You know, I think on a lot of different things. But some people just do it just because they bored really honestly. Because you have, it does not make no sense to me because sometimes people post like, even like say positive stuff. Then you have somebody in the comment just post something just negative out the way just to pick on something in the picture. And it's a cause controversy cause other people to come in and start saying X, Y, Z, whatever. Just for no reason. It's all for cloud though. Like you got, you, I had to remember that. It's all, okay. So when you do that, what they gonna do? They gonna go look at that person that said that, right?  Okay, then it's funny, you know? So now he about to get follows and she about to get followers and stuff. It's all that other people just want their own time and they shining. It's cool or whatever, like, you know? Sometimes people just jump on them too and start arguing, but some people there's a lot of hate.  Yeah, it start men. It's you have people like the gimmick. People like to, you got all that. It's weird. The world is.   Check it out, man. So top three artists of all time. They're alive. They're alive. You heard us the other day. They ain't done, bro. Top three are number one. I can say like, can I say me? I don't care.  It's on you. You think you the best in the world ever to do it? Yeah. Well, you said best in the world. Yeah, you can be the best. It's on you. It's on you. You're the top three. All right, so listen, listen. Okay, you ready? You ready? Number one. You ready? Yeah. You ready? Like a doll. That's what we used to say. You ready? Yeah. D.  D, you ready? That's my first person. D. Okay. D. D, like with a T.  D, I'm, you gonna get it. Ready? That's the first person. D. Okay. Second person, Jern. Oh, okay. Third person. I think she's gonna do that. Oh, whatever, man. You think I'm gonna put that out and be like, this is her top three. Why not? Yeah. That's her top three. Three individual people. Okay, three individual people, though. Okay. Number one. Nicki Minaj. Oh, that's your girl. That's my girl. Oh, Cardi? I like Cardi, but not over Nicki, though. Okay. I just wanna put it out there. I just wanna put it out there, and that's all. Nicki Minaj. Okay. Number two. I'm trying to see who I just listen to all the time. Tink. Tink. It can be any genre. Yeah, she sings R&B, so Tink. Okay, Tink, okay. And then Key Glock. Key Glock. And then go hard. He go hard. Remember, I used to listen to him every day. Yeah, all the time.  He got hard, man. Yeah. I like how he rapped it. No, I do too. I like how he rapped. How many people talking about him? I like how he rapped. No, I like him. He chill. No, I like the cadences and the way them boys over there do it anyway. Young dog getting it in. You know what I'm talking about? So, I ain't going to ask her if she could go back, but... I'm going to, cause that's one of the questions I had. Okay. Going back in your life, and at four when that happened, if you had to talk to your mom and tell her what was going on and stuff like that, and the symptoms or the signals that she could have looked for, because you have some moms out there who kids are going through something. Well, my mom knew how to rip, cause I told her. That's how smart I was. Oh, awesome. I told her the day that it happened. So, they should tell somebody. But not all kids are like that. I just felt like something, I didn't even know that something was wrong. I was just innocently telling her what happened the day. Like, you know, dah, dah, dah, dah, he, you know, whatever, cause this happened to be, at the time my mom was married to a man. So this was like a step, when I don't call him nothing like that, but that's what he was at that time. So, when you, when you told her, what did she say? She immediately hindered me. I was going like, she put me in the car and I don't know, except for that. Which is good, cause you have some parents. Yeah, you have some parents. You have some, I actually had a friend later on in life that I had to deal with, you know, as a friend and be there for her, she was getting something to happen to her and her mom wouldn't believe her. She wouldn't believe her, like she wouldn't wanna leave her boyfriend. She was like, you lying, like she call her B's and all types of stuff. So you would just tell her to speak up and say something? I know what you said.  I told, my mom listened to me. So in that predicament, I couldn't really just tell her, you know, I told her never eat quiet, I'm always here and there is always somebody else that can help you. And my main thing was, cause I had to get counseling from the school. So that's what I told her to do was to go talk to the people at school if your parents aren't listening, you know what I'm saying? But it's a hard situation because think about it, if you go tell your parents at school, I mean, go tell the people at school and they like, okay, so you know how to listen to your daughter and she's saying this, having her. So now they gonna tell her, you know what I'm saying? She don't wanna leave her family. What could you tell a mom to look for? Man. And children. The main things is getting quiet.  Ain't a room a lot, you know. But in today's society, where kids don't stand in the room and play games regardless anyway. And that's the best thing. You need to check on your child at all times. One thing about my mama is, one thing I can say, we have a different type of relationship. Like I can tell her absolutely anything. And that's because of her being so well bonded with me. She's always, you know, come in there and journey, so to check on your child's mental, even as a kid, because as a kid, I think a lot of parents don't think that they're mental, it's that big, but it's actually really the biggest as a kid. That leaves the most trauma as a kid. When things happen as a kid, you have the most trauma as a kid. It's so funny, because I can't remember three, four, five. I can't remember any of those ages. I didn't like what happened. I remember certain instances that happened, but I can't remember how old I was. I remember falling off of a wall, had to go to the nurse's office, but I was in prep school. I don't remember how old I was. Right, but see when it's something like this real, real, you know, tough like that. And then if you go to Kensington, like I said, and I was reminded over and over and over and over again, I'm remembering the age. Like I'm sitting here like it's yesterday. I can remember the whole thing, you know? Already. So I'll tell you, man. How can people get up? Thank you for telling your story though. Thank you. How can people get a hold of you? Hey, y'all can give me on Instagram at D-T-H-E-E, that journey, J-O-U-R-N-E-Y, and another Y at the end. That's really it. I got a Facebook, it's the same thing. Okay. And we definitely love what you do. TikTok? TikTok, nah, I have one, but I got a new phone to leave down, I remember the password. So I'm on TikTok to watch the videos, and I don't just know. But you need to be on there and put your stuff back on there. You're right, I'll find her. You're right. I'm not gonna argue with you. You're right. You're right, I'm not gonna argue with you.  So you gonna do it? I'm gonna do it, cause you're right. All right, damn, say check it, man. Say, man, we love you, and we appreciate you for coming on the show. Thank you for having me.
