I'm just trying to get and I'm just trying to holler but then you wonder Why certain guys talk about and seem to have a higher level of success than you're having It's because they've done all this. This is all the groundwork.   I was kind of in the zone um I was in the zone And uh, yeah, I didn't want to kind of I didn't want to get stopped. I didn't want to stop so If I didn't get your question you were on point new. Thanks for guys Here's the thing You are so much more than you give yourself credit for I talk about some topics that I know a lot of people don't touch um this whole under 40 Still living at home with your parents thing The you know, there's so many guys out there who are so much more than they are you've made some mistakes You've made some bad choices. You've gotten stuck Listen to me now. You've gotten stuck So many guys have gotten stuck Good dudes good hearted dudes good men who've gotten stuck And they don't have anyone that they can talk to because the shame they feel for getting stuck Is embarrassing The guilt they feel for not having done more or been more is is almost more than they can bear The fact that they still waking up every day to the soldier on Is a testament that they are a good man, but you've gotten stuck But what I'm trying to do is trying to give trying to give you Trying to reach into your world and really let you realize there's hope There's hope. There's hope for us all And all you have to do is decide you want to do something different And then just don't worry about the outcome. Don't worry about how to get unstuck All I need you to worry about is to make the next right decision That's it. Make the next right decision What's the next right decision tomorrow?  I'm going to make the next right decision Then I go to the gym Then what's the next right decision I'm going to drink water I'm not going to drink that Coca-Cola. I'm not going to drink the other side, I'm going to drink water Then I'm going to make the next right decision Instead of just going home and sitting down on the couch. I'm going to go out Well, I'm gonna go outside and play. I'm gonna go out to the mall and I'm gonna just sit down in the middle of the mall and I'm going to people watch. Every mall has a little central spot. I'm gonna sit there. I'm gonna charge up my phone. I'm gonna just sit down and people watch. But while I'm there, I'm gonna be dressed in some cool jeans and I'm gonna have on a cool shirt. I'm gonna spray on some Aqua DiGel Perfumo and I'm gonna just go be there. And I'm gonna just be around and let the world happen. I'm gonna get that sun on my skin and get that vitamin D that I need.  I'm gonna do that for two hours. So while I'm there in the central area, I'm gonna be reading 48 Laws of Power or listening to a podcast or something. And I'm gonna be there, but I'm gonna have my head up and I'll be watching the next right decision. If I'm there, I'm gonna go have me a good lunch. You know, maybe I'll go to Panera Bread and get the pick two and I'll get a half a sandwich and I'll get soup and I'll eat the half a sandwich now and I'll eat the soup later. Or I'll get salad or sandwich and salad. So I get some greens in. And then after I eat lunch and I'm tempted to go back home, I'm gonna go to another side of town and I'll go to the local Starbucks. And instead of going home and sitting in my couch and getting online, I'll go to Starbucks and sit at Starbucks and get online. But I'm gonna be around people. And then after six hours is gone and I've actually got out, been at the mall, had lunch, gone to Starbucks, then I'm gonna go and go home. Knowing that I've done more in one day that I've done all year. And I just made the next right decision. And then Sunday, I'm gonna do it all over again. You know what?    Hey, dad, what's going on this Sunday? Holler at your boy. What's going on, man? Yeah, man, let's go over to Buffalo Wild Wings and watch the game. Talk to somebody you ain't talked to in a while. Don't just sit at home. But see, that makes you have to get out of the house. Make the next right decision.  I've been intending to clean out that garage. I've been intending, you know, I need to clean that bathroom up, like Kevin said. Get in there and clean that bathroom up. Use that four to six hours until you're just sitting there.  All right. But your rational brain would be like, ah, we did something different. All right. Not so bad. I had a good weekend. I kind of like this. And then the next right decision is to choose to do it the next weekend too. And before you know it, you'll look up and it's been 30 days and you'll have set in path a new neural pathway and a new habit. And before you know it, it'll be 66 days and it'll be part of your nature just like breathing. And you'll look up and it'll be summertime and you'll have made more friends, more associates, possibly met women to actually interact with date, whatever you will have actually engaged in life and experienced a summer heading into the fall, which is football, school and everything else season with a whole new outlook on life because you just decided to make the next right choice.  It's your choice, gentlemen. Your choice. All right. Thank you guys so much. I know it's late.  Talk to you later. Big bro out.

They split us all up, yeah. I was about to say that. They put us in tools, yeah. But you ran away?  You're the oldest one? Yeah, I'm the oldest. That's why the rest of them didn't run away. Nah, they didn't run away. But I hated it because they went through some stuff that I refuse to go through. You know, being raped, molested, all kind of wild stuff. How many boys and how many girls? It was five boys and one girl at the time, you know. But now it's like more, you know. Oh. Yeah. Five boys and one girl. You traveling. You was the oldest. And you had the day. What did you leave? You just was hanging out in Calioprojects. I was in the Magnolia. You were in the Magnolia? Yeah. Up under that boy. I was like one of the major dogs, you know what I mean? Like, you know, I'd rather be out there than be in there, you know. The Magnolia Projects. That was that with the Master P? Or was it? No, I ain't. P come from the Calioproject. Burrman and I come out of the Magnolia. From the Calioproject? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So the Magnolia was that BG? BG from the 13th year. You know, he know all of them from. That's what I'm asking. So he from the 13th. Yeah. He been gone by 13 years. Yeah. I really don't know. This is the last show. Oh, it is? Yeah. Yeah. We seen him up there. He was sweet. He's sweet, isn't he? He was sweet to me. Well, he was cutting up a little bit. He was drunk. He liked it, yeah. You know what I'm saying? He don't like it. He vicious, you know. He was nice to me. Yeah. That's my dog. That's my brown. Being from such a... So you write him? I haven't. You know what I'm saying?  He kept getting shipped around. You know how it is.  You get caught with a phone.  This and that. And they move you around because you got too much, you know, like Larry Hool and all of them. They got to lock you away from people because you got too much influence. Right. Yeah. But being from Louisiana, you went to Louisiana prisons. Yeah. I was in... I'm in the fed. So they ship you around. Okay. So I started out in Louisiana. So I had to put in some work, Jeremy. You know, I got shipped to Florida. Then moved around, hit the smooth, Jeremy. Like, smooth program. I did everything but ADX. You know what I'm saying? Thank God, Jeremy. Isn't ADX bad? I don't know. He looking at me like... Yeah. Yeah. That's 23 and one. You hear me? Like that's one day of recreation a day. That's the only light you see. One day of recreation a day. Yeah. One day of recreation a day. 23 hours in your cell. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.  Because I always heard that, you know, state prison compared to... like, fed is like a walk in the park compared to state prison. It used to be that way, but it ain't that way no more. I'd rather go to the state now than go to the feds. The feds is wild.  So when you think about the whole situation with how... First of all, you didn't tell us, how did you end up going to prison? Well... Man, I got a string of my rap sheet as long. I ain't gonna say... Going to prison the first time? So, you know... Yeah, you know, it started...  You hear me? Like... Because I went in for some gun charges, but I took charges for my homies. Same thing B.G. did. You know what I'm saying? B.G. took them charges. The more he is, you know what I'm saying?  I could take that, so he took that. You know what I'm saying?  Scoot my language. Mmm-hmm. Yeah, you had taken the charges. So after that and you came out from that, what happened the next time? I mean... I'm in the streets now. You know what I'm saying? I'm on that radar. So every time, you know, you gotta have that iron in the streets to live. Mmm-hmm. You know what I'm saying? So, I basically told the police, every time y'all pull me out, but y'all might work at the SWAT team. You did? Because I'm gonna be loaded. You hear me? Like a bum in the alley. And how old were you at this time? How old were you? 16, going on 17. So you were... At a young age, you was... Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Yeah, I had to. I mean, imagine what I seen at eight years old. Pregnant women in certain needles inside of their cat. You know what I'm saying? Just to find that nerve so they can get high and stuff. Need nine months pregnant. Pregnant. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Drugs.  You don't blink no more. You're numb to it. You see it's no more, you numb to it. Yeah. So you know what I'm saying? I had seen so much so I knew what I had to do. Did you know how to love at that point in your life? I thought I did. But I didn't know what love was. Because everything that I took in was the homies from around the way. Because they took me in, but on the cool, they was using me. Mmm-hmm. What should I say? Misusing me. Yeah, misusing you. How many times were you in prison? I went to the state three times. I've been to the feds once. And that was the last time when you went to the feds? I just got out. How many years? I've been out for a year. How many years? I just did ten. Ten. Man. And so being locked up like that and coming home after all those years, what was the most changing thing that you experienced when you came home? Cell phones, electronics. Everybody always said that. You know what I'm saying? Like all this weird stuff, people talking to themselves, walking around.  Then the corona at the same time. Like I didn't deal with none of that when I was in prison. So. Because you were in prison when corona was going on. Right. How did that affect you there? Because then I've heard different cells, different prisons was going through lockdown because of corona. No, not until recently. Because at first we knew nothing about it. They tried to shield us from that. Oh. Yeah. When people started getting sick and getting dying. Yeah. You know, people started getting sick and all that stuff. And they tried to say, oh, it's just pneumonia. Oh, it's just he died from this. He died from that. You know what I'm saying? Was it a lot of people dying? Mm hmm. Yeah. Mm hmm. They don't care. They don't care. They don't make money off you for ways without you even blinking.  So when you think about, you know, the times when you was locked up, what was I know you was in plenty of riots. What what what riots? What riots sticks out the most to you? Mm hmm.   And he got some money. So usually somebody going to take him up under his wing. But in a federal system, you got what's called cars. Games are considered cars.  And if you don't ride with that, you're riding with religion. You know what I'm saying? Mm hmm. So either way it go, you got a knife up to keep him right from nothing, stay ready to keep him getting ready. Mm hmm. You know what I'm saying? Because you basically responsible for everybody else's BS. Mm hmm. You are. Because if I'm on New York time.  Well, that's on all of us. That's on all of us. So when the ride kickoff, they're going after everybody from my city. Mm hmm. You know what I'm saying? That's terrible. And if you don't know about it, that's the worst thing ever.  Mm hmm. And you don't even know why. You ain't trying to fight back because you still on this. What did I do? Mm hmm. You know what I'm saying? What you mean by you ain't trying to fight back? Jump you? You going to start fighting back? I mean you will, but let's just be honest. The initial content is, whoa, what you tripping out? What? You know what I'm saying? Mm hmm. Yeah. So you know. Wow. So you, so were you stabbed in there? Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah. I had my feel for it. Give me your incident where you were stabbed. You know, I'll go in on it. In this same, this same riot that I'm talking about. You know, I was on Crip Time. I didn't get on Texas Time. I got on Crip Time. What is Crip Time? I was gang related. You know what I'm saying? I just want to make sure. I figured that's what it was. Yeah. So I rolled with that. Mm hmm. So one of my homies, they didn't get mad at all they want to. One lay down, two good help. He a punk. He a punk. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. You let the dudes survey and started off a money thing. You got them under protection and all those kind of stuff.   For sure. You know what I'm saying? So a Hispanic dude from Latin Kings ended up coming down the way six months later, shipped from another unit. Come to find out the punk came from that prison yard where this dude was at. And that was his thing. Mm hmm. So when he come over here, he want to just let brawl back. Mm hmm.  So some way it got twisted. They got into a heated debate about it. My homie wasn't coming off the pump. You know what I'm saying? So that led to them getting into a scrap. He stabbed him. He stabbed him a couple of times. They come out with the guns and stuff. They start shooting and stuff. I mean, everybody lay it down. They locked us down. The very moment that we came off a lockdown, everybody knew what it was. Knife up. It's going down. And this creates more chaos than a little bit. Because even though you may not be a Crip, he now he on something else. This and that. Everything black at attack. They ain't trying to hear it. When you dealing with different races and stuff like that. Ain't no. No. Let him make it. He cool. Ain't nobody trying to hear that.  How many times y'all got money together. So dope together. When y'all got to die. So when the doors open, everybody went at it. Blood was everywhere. Stabbing, stabbing, beatings. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. No, I did it. But you would think that them security guards know that once you open them doors, that's what that was going to happen. They know. They know. They don't stand by waiting. They don't run the prisons. We do. They just work there. We got to live there. So if you want to make it home off your 8 to 12 hour shift, mind your business. Got you. Wow. Man, that's that's crazy, but it's 100. So another thing like to be down there and not have the financial support, you would have to either a, you know, make a stow or figure out a way to hustle, say a tattoo ink figure out. I know I'm a hustler figure out ways to gamble, make some dice or, you know, get some dice in kind of ways. What was the thing? Did you have a support in the free world or did you have to go for yours and just try to figure out ways to make ends meet? I had support, you know, which is good. I didn't want to support anymore because I was married at the time. So my wife, my ex-wife, she held me down. Okay. But the way she held me down when I found out I wasn't with it. Okay. So we cut ties. You know what I'm saying? But so you didn't have to, you didn't have to do all the crazy stuff to make sure you had money in there.  Yeah. Because you never want to make moves when you're in there. I made moves because I got kids and you still got to live.  I still want to do something. So you flipping what you get. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So I take my money and stuff. I tell my partner, you go ahead and open this door and just give me back this. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm slinging K2, trying to get it through the mail. You know what I'm saying? Hey, I took my daughter to college. No, I get it. You know what I'm saying? I get it. From there, just off of pieces of sprayed on paper. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I just got to do what they got to do.  Many of us get on the phone and we are live. You know what I'm saying? All these dudes going to do something to me. If you don't see me, somebody do this, this and that. Well, let me ask you this. Did you run? You say you ran into a BG a little bit and passing in there. But did you ever run into relatives, people that you was, you know? Yeah. Like uncles or, you know, anybody close can. You see what I'm saying? I did. But what happens is we can speak. But if we are on two different sides of the track, you know, it ain't nothing I could do for you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. The best thing I could do for you if something jumped off, I could warn you ahead of time and tell you stay out of the way. Yeah. Because this ain't for you. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? If you want to help your homeboys, this and that, my hands is tied. Yeah. And you know, there was like, like killings and stuff in there. What was the first incident in there where you seen or you knew somebody got killed?  Okay. What was that about? Fried chicken. Explain that to me. Fried chicken? A piece of fried chicken. Every Friday they serve in the same meal. You know the menu, the prison menu. Every where you go is going to be the same. So everybody know how fried are you getting? Fried chicken. Potatoes and mashed potatoes and gravy. A piece of cake or pie or either some fruit cocktail. You know what I'm saying? That's the day everybody want to trade. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Commissary. Man, let me get that chicken. Man, let me get that. Yeah. Ooh, did this and that. So a guy on my wing asked another guy because you know he don't eat his chicken and he always sell it. He said, say, man, let me get that chicken today. So he's like, nah, my little partner just got off the bus. He ain't got nothing. So I'm going to go ahead and get on my trade.  You know what I'm saying? I got five suits in the Jackman for you. Right? What's up? What's up? So he just bypassed it. Right now he's at work passing out toilet paper. So as he doing that, do following him upstairs on the run, trying to talk him out of the chicken. Dude told him, just go ahead, man. I'm good. I ain't going to give it to you. So he was just like, man, push that nigga. Ooh, did this and that. The man caught that. So he said, I'm not going to be there. I'm not going to push that nothing. Go home and watch your business. And he was an older gentleman. You know what I'm saying? So the dude said, he said, man, I got something for you. So he already knew what that meant. He went and got his knife. He came back, but the old man was skilled. The old man ended up taking the knife from him and gutting him. And threw him over the rail. All behind some chicken. All behind a piece of chicken. Damn. Lost his life. That's over a piece of chicken. And so serious. Everything is really, you can't play around when you in these conditions because everybody else is watching the situation and you got to sleep and watch the nigga because you don't know if he's going to come back and kill you. Right.  Exactly. Real talk, right? Yeah. So, you know. And see if you in a car or a gang or you're riding with religion, it doesn't even matter. If you get into an incident because you represent us, you got to handle that. And if you don't handle that, we're going to handle you.  No. No. Tell you something. The Muslims don't play. They don't play. They're going to make a lot. They're going to go to the mosque. They're going to do everything they're supposed to do. They're going to get their education. But if you disrespect one of them, they're going to tell you off the bone. Tallinn service and all that. Yeah. And it don't matter where you're standing at, you're going to get your issue. That's real. That's real talk, man. Just was on it today, man. So just give us a little bit more insight on just what did you, did you write any music when you were locked up? I wrote a ton of music that I'm still sitting on. I haven't even got to release none of it yet. You know, a lot of it just been busy, man, just busy. I've written two novels while I was in there. I actually got put out that you can go online and buy nine. What's the name of them? Cup Boy The Streets Made Me Volume One. It's a six book series, you know. Just talking about your life? Talking about my life. It's talking about no limit, bunch of different things, you know, things that happened when Soda Slim got killed. You know what I'm saying? You just got to get, you just got to get. You got to give, okay, because the way how people are, right? You got to give them something juicy. To say, man, I got to go get that book because he just said that and I need to go see what he's talking about. You got to give us something juicy to make us want to go get that book. So come on, give us a little sum. Give it up. I kind of like doing cliffhangers and stuff. I don't like giving up no info.  That's like, I need to know the rest of that. Yeah, let's put it like this. Everybody got the thoughts of hearsay of what happened to Soda Slim November 25th when it happened. You know what I'm saying? But a lot of the information is not accurate. Were you there? Yeah, I was there. Yeah, I was there. We're on the corner. Yeah, so I basically told that and I had to rewrite the book because my lawyer told me if I want to have a leave prison. Yeah, because I was basically snitching and I didn't even know it, but I was just telling what I was seeing. Yeah, your story. Telling what was going on with me. And so the tell was going on me and tells what goes on around me. Everybody else. You know what I'm saying? But I never realized that I was putting everybody else business out there. So I was solving crimes and all kinds of stuff. I was like, man, let me get that back, my bad. You know what I'm saying? So some things are accurate and some things are not. I'm not even going to tell you what's what. You know what I'm saying? I want to ask you a question about just being from Louisiana and just the sound of the music that comes, the bounce sound that comes from down there. Who would you say is the number one producer ever to come out of New Orleans? Manny Fresh. Manny Fresh. Manny Fresh. He the best to do it. The best to do it. Still the best to ever do it. So you think he harder than Beast by the pound. I mean, KLC is a dog, man. Come on, man. I had to say that. You can't get away with it. That's my dog, man. And Manny Fresh would tell you that. Yeah. So, but is it different? Is it because Manny Fresh is, is he younger a little bit? No. No, no, no. They are the same age. They are the same age. You know KLC told a story on here. He said that he knew Birdman. He knew Baby before Baby knew Manny Fresh. He knew both of them. He knew Manny Fresh and he knew Birdman before they even met each other. Yeah. He told me that. That's true. And he told me something else. And he also remember he told me about, he say he gave something on here that was so exclusive. He said that Birdman, he say he was in his house producing the beat to body body. And he say he had Birdman and he had Slim over there. And he had Soldiers Slim because he used to be with him. And he had Master Penem and Silk all freestyle in the body body right before it came out and got out. Isn't he got his little trail that goes to his place? His Grand Theft Auto, that's all he said. But he say that happened at his place because he was producing that music. Yeah. And I just look at the way, man, y'all are special from down there. The way that the music and stuff penetrates everybody, you know, throughout the world. I mean, that whole thing changed the whole dynamic of hip hop if you really want to be real about it. It's because we put our pain in our music and you will never see it. You know what I'm saying? Because we'll dance to pain, we'll smile to pain before we sit up and shed a tear. Wow. What about, wasn't my boy Big Mike from down there? Big Mike, we rap a lot. Yeah, he was from down there. Yeah, y'all got some back. That's way back. I didn't rest back, nigga. I reached back over, you know, placing. So, I mean, who would you work with from down there if you had an opportunity? Man. From down there, if you had to pick one person that you could work with down there and y'all could put out a project from New Orleans, it's got to be New Orleans. Who would it be? Producer-wise? Hell, no. I'm talking about the whole project. You can pick a producer and an artist that you would like to work with to create a project from New Orleans. It'll be KLC and BG. That whole bang, that whole slap right there. That's my boy, man. You know, me and K. We talk a lot. That's my boy, for real, for real. Me and him, we wrote for a minute in there about that music, man. He rocked with me about PMC.  So, we just talked about them working together on different projects, man. So, what make BG stick out so much for you? Because I watched him. I watched him. Don't talk to me. What an old man. What sticks out for me is the realism because he's not a studio gangster. He actually lived everything he spoke. Yeah. Everything he spoke, he lived that. I watched it for myself. You know what I'm saying? Like, you got some artists. There's only like, hmm, we're back then. I don't know about right now. But back then, there was only like four people that can go project to project because we beat that hard. We beat by awards. There was no Crip Blood and all that. It was none of that. You know what I'm saying?  Because Louisiana was its own parish. Yeah. By itself. You know what I'm saying? So, you like to sit and you got pink rag on, red one on his arm, green one on his head. You know what I'm saying? But you better mess with him. Because he might be from the 7th Ward, 9th Ward, 8th Ward, Lafitte, whatever. You know what I'm saying? And we beat hard. Wow, man. You know what I'm saying? From the womb to the tomb, we beat hard. Mm-hmm. I definitely want to talk about that TNT, man. Let's talk about that new project that's getting ready to drop, man. When is it dropping? Friday. This Friday. It comes out this Friday. And what can we expect? Man, anybody out there that's roaming around Texas right now that missed that home flavor, you damn sure going to get it on this one here. That's what I'm talking about. What inspired it? Actually, it was a joke between me and somebody else. You know what I'm saying? Because we was talking about the federal system. Mm-hmm. Because when I went in there, I was telling them, they asked me, they was like, are you hot? You know what I'm saying? If you hot, you can't be here. I'm like, nah. I don't understand what you're talking about. Right. Like, I know I'm hot. You know what I'm saying? I'm lyrically in tune, client, this and that. They talking something else. They talking about writing. They talking about if your paperwork right. You know what I'm saying? So, I almost got killed my first day there because I didn't know the lingo. Right. Because when they asked me was I hot, I said, yeah. Now I'm looking at me and it's clutching. You know what I'm saying? They was like, who you told on? I said, whoa, hold on, partner. Ain't told on, nobody did. Hold on, hold on. What y'all talking about? Hold on, hold on. Y'all got to give me some room right now. I'm looking. I'm new. I'm beating out because I see it. You know what I'm saying? So, I'm like, you know, for this rap game. Yeah, I'm hot, but I ain't tell on nobody. There's just like, well, you got 30 days to get that paperwork in.  So they check your paperwork. Yeah. That's a lot. They call it paperwork party. Paperwork party. Yeah.   You're not going to shower shoes. No soap. No nothing.   So how do you get a paperwork? You got to write the, you got to write the, uh, the war and the courthouse and they'll send it to you. Oh, okay. So that tells everything that happened in court. Everything who on your case, what your case is. And you better not be a child molester. You better not have no, uh, five K one, you know what I'm saying, which is telling on somebody, you know, you get into that, you automatically out. So is there a person in the prison that is like above everybody's that checks the paperwork or is just everybody check, see it? No. No. It's not person. You got the speaker. Then you got the person that checked the paperwork. You know what I'm saying? And sometimes they get passed down the line. After, after like four years of me being there, it got passed down to me and they like me having the paperwork. Why? Because I'm digging deeper. I'm digging deeper because some things are not told in the paperwork. Then how you find it out?   Cause the streets going to say way more than what they saying in court. Let me ask you this. I don't want to move too fast, but how did you find time to write nine movies and out of those nine movies that you wrote, how many of them actually have been produced and put out? Neither of them has been produced and put out yet for the simple fact that it takes time and money, you know what I'm saying? And right now I don't have it. I'm looking for it. Neither one. You know, so I'm trying to check, I'm trying to take the rap music and take this money and put dumping into that. You know what I'm saying? I got it. But you already just haven't filmed it yet. Yeah. But then if couldn't you present your writing to different publishers and be like, hey, can you help me do this? You used to can do that. The game is differently now. You know what I'm saying? And what I look like giving you 85% of what I, what I'm worth and only taking 15 or 12. Cause if they put in any work, that's what's going to happen. You have to put in all the work and just bring the finished product and be like, I need to put this out. So that's why you got so many independent producers and labels now. You know what I'm saying? Because people want their money. They want to see their growth. You know what I'm saying?  Like, come on, man. I get that on my own. So out of all nine, which one of them is your favorite and what is it about? If y'all are aware of who Stan Lee is, you know who Stan Lee is? Stan Lee was the one, the white guy who wrote all the Marvel movies. You know who he is? Yeah. And he died not too long ago. I know exactly who that is. Well, I fell in love with that style of writing. I got, I started writing all the gang, the gang, gang, kill, killer hood stuff and this, this and that. And then after a while I got bored with it. I'm like, Because it's your life. Yeah. I'm bored with that. So I wanted to try something else. So then I started writing children's books. And I went from children's books and like, I wonder if I can write a movie strip. So I went to the library, started, you know, studying books. You know what I'm saying? I started authoring books, everything on it. And started now learning how to write screenplays on my own. I taught myself. So after that, you know, my favorite movies was always like. Why didn't you go to school for it? Because I know when you're in prison they're saying to school for whatever you want. And I'm schooling over that. Oh, yeah. Because people, people go to prison and they come out being this and that. Let me, let me explain that to you. And me, me and her had this conversation not long ago. They'll give you all kinds of classes. They'll just find somebody who know it in prison or inmate and say, we'll pay you 33 cents a day or whatever. Isn't that teach, teach this class. Now you learning it and they'll give you the certificate.  They'll honor that. Wow. Amen. So how can people get a hold to you if they're trying to link up with you? Uh, I G ice jizzle.  And I just recently uploaded a tick tock still don't understand it yet. Um, I got a Facebook footage for fam only. Um, pretty much that's it. All you can highlight. Gen music group, which is George Lopez. Yeah. Shout out George, man. He the one made this happen too. Let me ask you a question. Top three artists of all time did a lot. Any genre? Number one. Any genre? Mm hmm. Okay. Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson. Number one. Number two. Um, soldier slump. Hey. Number three. And number three would be, uh, man, it's hard, man. It's always hard. It's always hard. It's always harder than number three. I would say, um, damn, I can't even think of his name. New addition. New addition. Check it, man. Hey, man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man. The name ice jizzle. Where did that come from? Mm hmm. Farm and Lee. I was animal. When I left a certain situation, we ain't gonna say that name. When I left a certain situation, I got black ball. So when I got black ball, I can no longer use the name because I didn't take the time to do the paperwork. So it was up under the label's name. Mm hmm. So I had to change my name. So since I rocked a lot of jury, they just like, we can stalk all you icy black or, you know what I'm saying? Ice GZ. It was a joke. And it stuck. You know what I'm saying? And jizzle was always my favorite artist. So it became Ice GZ. But when I came home from this bid, I had to change it to jizzle because somebody's out there using my name. Check it, man. Thank you so much for coming on the show, brother. We love you. You officially boss talk 101 approved, man. My show, man. It's a whole different ball game now. Yes, sir. I don't know where else you been, but you here now. Yes, sir. And it goes down over at boss talk 101, man. Check it, man. Hey, man. It's been another great segment of boss talk 101. And we out.


Hello guys welcome back my name is Susheel Singh and this is continuation of SQL Server interview questions and answers. So today I am going to discuss about the like operator. So what is like operator? Like operator is used in ware clause to search for a specified pattern by using wildcards and mostly we use two type of wildcards in like operator one is percentage another is underscore. This is used for 0 to any character and underscore is used for a exact one character and we will discuss later in this video session. Now let's start. So this is our first slide where we have specify few questions. Our first question is get those records which name start with A. So let's move to SQL Server Managed Studio. I have created this table and we have five record on this table. And we want only those records which you know student name is start with A. So by using like operator we will get the result. In this query we can see we have used percentile. As I have discussed percentile is used for 0 to any character. So starting value should be A and end with any character. So in this table we can see we have only one row for this condition. So by using this query we will get only one row. So this is our first question. And our second question is get those record which name end with Z. So for this we can see start with A and now we are going to get the result which name end with Z. So this time percentile will use for the first and then we use the Z as a last character. So we can select and we will get the result. And our third question is get those records which name start with A and end with Z. So here we can see we have used A and then percentile and then Z. So it may be any character between A and Z. But starting value of this S name should be A and end with Z. So by using this query we will get the result. So this is our first slide. Let's move to second. Our next question is get those records which name second position is B. As I have discussed underscore is used for the single character. So in this query we can see inside the like operator we have used the underscore for the first position. So it might be any character. So first character would be skipped. First character has been skipped from there and the second position is B. So we have to specify B from there and then percentile. So by using this query we will get the result. Let's move to sequence of manual studio and execute this query. So this is our query. We can execute and get the result. So our next question is get those records which name contains CD at any position. But CDs would come together first come C and then D. So it might be it would come first position second position at any position. So we have to use the percentile at the starting and end and inside the percentile we have to use the CD. So by using this query we will get the result. Another question is get those records which name start with A and contains at least three characters. So as I have discussed underscore is used for the single character. So here we have to use at least two underscores for the two characters and one character would be count from A. In this query we can see a name like A for the starting position and then we have to specify the underscore and one more underscore and inside the underscores we have to specify percentile. It might be any character between you know underscores or A. So when we are going to execute this query we can see we will get the result. Let's move to another question. This is get those records which name start with A or M or F. Then we are going to such type of conditions where it would contain one or more than one characters at the starting position. So we have to specify the square bracket and inside the square bracket we have to specify all those characters which may be at the starting position. So this is our query and we can execute and we will get the result. Here we can see A or M or F starting position should be A or M or F. So inside the square bracket we have to specify all these three characters. So we can see our output. Another question is get those records which name doesn't start with A or M or F. So we have two queries to get the similar result. First we have to use the above query for the same and except we are using like we have to use the not like. Here we execute and we will get the result. Our second question is we have to use this operator. I don't know the name of this operator. So we have to specify this operator before we are going to specify our characters and then execute and we will get the same result. So we can execute these two queries at once and we will see it would return two rows for the first query and two rows for the second query. So output would be same. Our next question is get those records which name start with A and you know start with between A and M. So it might be A, B, C, D it may be anything but it would be between A to M. When we are going to get such type of condition. So we can specify A, B, C, D, F, G, H up to M inside this square bracket. But this is not the proper way. So we can see we have used dash inside the square bracket and between A to M. When we are going to specify this dash it will act as a between operator. So we execute this query and we can see we will get the result. Now let's move to another question. So another question is get those records which name contains the percentile. As I have discussed percentile is used for the zero to any character. But we want those values which name would contain percentile like let's move to sequence of management studio and here we can see in this we have student id 6 and value is s name is x, y, x and then percentile and dt. So write the query which will return such type of conditions. So here we have to use the square bracket and inside the square bracket we can use we can pass the percentile and it will reflect the result. So for the same if we are we are going to get the result which will contain the underscore we will use the same query and we will get the result. After we need to insert some value so we can insert and then we can select and we can see here it will reflect the result. So I hope you have enjoyed this video.

Hello So it's a pleasure today to share the stage with Pete Flint Pete is a rare class of entrepreneur. He has built multiple billion-dollar companies. So that's a pretty rare Atmosphere he's in he did it first with the travel website last minute calm where he's a founding executive And then that company was sold the travel velocity in 2005 for over one billion dollars Then he co-founded with CEO of Trulia A real estate marketplace Trulia was sold to Zillow in 2015 for three and a half billion dollars And I have to note that his co-founder at Trulia was a Finn named Sami Inkinan. So he's got some Finnish cred here today and Now he's with two partners. He's founded a VC firm called NFX that helps to bring something new to the venture world There I say something disruptive to the venture world and of course they will fund many more billion-dollar companies So he can add to his billion-dollar list at some point. I hope so wow what you have quite a resume Pete What a pleasure to have you here.  I could get a student intern and And this was the summer of 1995 and I learned two things one I learned was like I didn't want to work for a corporation or certainly not an investment bank at that time But two it was a time the internet started. So this was 1995 Netscape went public. This was really the dawn of the kind of internet revolution so I knew from that I wanted to get involved in internet startups and Then I kind of I joined Brent soon after a graduate joined Brent Hoberman and Martha Lane Fox who founded last minute calm And I think the sort of the kind of lesson from from my experience at that point was really about How do you find the fast-moving water or how do you find the momentum at that time the internet was exploding? This is kind of 95 to 97 the internet was exploding and putting yourself at the center of that That was like a huge less for me that helped upon my career And then in addition to that surrounding yourself and and really Following I was like early 20s. So following kind of these incredible people Brent and Martha have gone on to do incredible things So put myself in the ecosystem You're pretty fortunate. I know Brent and Martha that was quite a quite a ride for you guys and So then you went from being in the UK running a travel website. Yeah to running a real estate website in San Francisco How did how did that happen? so the you know Being in London is incredible the startup ecosystem is incredible but I like you sort of feel you're doing good stuff but moving to Silicon Valley and and You know going to Stanford I ended up doing a an MBA in Stanford was just an incredible opportunity So to move over to Silicon Valley where really the the kind of network is incredibly powerful all these iconic companies are founded So I went there to do an MBA and Then the summer between the first and the second year I Kind of stumbled across the real estate industry So I was sort of had this expectation that in Silicon Valley everything was kind of digitized amazing Transformation or you could really do it do anything But the real estate industry if anyone that spent time in America's in sort of incredibly traditional so And antiquated so I was sort of astounded at this industry and then I'd sort of conceived of this idea to To start truly it really can empower the consumers with information So started it really is a sort of while with students at Stanford and Sammy was a a good friend and like fellow Entrepreneurially minded individual and then and we just bounced ideas across warrior business schools So you're both foreigners starting a US real estate company. I think if people don't know this I live in Silicon Valley I'm was born in Finland. I'm I also started my companies in the US I'm an immigrant over half the companies in Silicon Valley are started by immigrants and so I think you and Sammy is a case in point that there you are a Brit and a fin starting a company in Silicon Valley in basically US real estate centric business So, I think yeah, I think they were just like what on earth are you guys doing? I think they were like the real estate industry was kind of afraid of the internet But they were certainly not afraid of too young like Europeans who were like doing some crazy stuff in real estate I have to ask so a fin was he the quietest guy in the meetings or what was it like having a fin as a co-founder?  We're partners on many different things You know sound on the office No, it's sort of in the office, but I coming here. I do appreciate his enthusiasm for it You know, he's you know, I I was just in the sort of taxi coming here this morning and like You know, I was amazed to see these kind of like fins running at like 7 o'clock in the morning in the snow And Sammy used to do that frequently we'd have like, you know off-site Sintaho and Sam We would wake up at 6 o'clock and run in the snow. So now I kind of I see where it gets it from So let's go back to you being a founder So do you feel you because you had this experience story at last minute where you were part of a founding team? You saw go through it's it's kind of a early stages of growth and everything else But now you're actually were a founder. How did you actually change as a? Executive as the leader at Trulia because now you're in the seat actually of running that company Did you feel you actually? grew and changed and in what way did that that happen? So I mean, I you know I benefited enormously from kind of shadowing like in my early 20s shadowing kind of Brent of Martha and kind of learning from all The good stuff and some of the mistakes that we made You know, I think the sort of and there's you know, it was a ten year journey So a whole kind of catalog of different ideas I think some of the kind of founding lessons for me were as sort of transitioning from a founder to Founding a company and not just being a founder but also being a CEO is really that you know There's multiple transition points throughout the journey. So one was like, you know moving from that sort of head of product to head of the company So early on you're just in a small team. You're the product manager I was the product manager and then moving from being head of product to head of company and really stepping out of that kind of individual contributor role into that leadership role and Figuring out how to focus on all the functional areas from sales to marketing and everything else and then you know like that you know what at the acquisition we were 1100 people and so You know every, you know, I think this you know, I kind of break it down There's like the zero to 40 is one sort of company the kind of 40 to like 150 There's a different type of company 150 to 500 and so on so like there we had to like as soon as we kind of Had a sort of a normal say we had to change it up again So constantly changing up constantly changing the management team constantly changing the org design and You know, I think some of the you know Some of the kind of things that I found particularly hard I think as a first-time CEO was kind of making those transitions from figuring out How do you the right person who's perfect to be a VP at a 40 person startup is not the right person to be VP at 400 person start, right? Is there any particular thing that you would change looking back a Million things, you know, there's like at the million things. I think the You know, we had our own set of like crazy crisis. So like you imagine a real estate company in 2008, you know, the people people remember what happened in real estate industry in 2008 The real estate collapse precipitated the financial collapse and so it was just this incredible time. Yeah, so So we were just in the eye of the storm We had like investors on one hide sequoia one of our investors and they were like saying fire everyone get profitable This is kind of the end of the world and then the other the experience from last minute was this sort of notion that She companies are built in a downturn. This was an incredible opportunity. So we saw how in 2001 to 2003 that was when the sort of dominant travel companies Expedia price sign last minute were created and so Similarly, we saw that opportunity, you know, I think sort of relative to kind of a Expedia Sorry relative to Zillow We were under capitalized. We raised 33 million They raised like 90 million by the time they went public and so like this kind of figuring out the financing sort of angle Would have been, you know, would have been better if we raise more money that would be better But that's the kind of that's hard thing to change I like this idea that companies are built during the hard times whether be hard times economically Like I said 2001 2004 or 2008. Yeah That's a very I think astute kind of observation You have to have the cash to weather it or at least have some way to get through that pile But I think that's very interesting What about the differences between building a company in Europe compared to building a company in the US? Did you see a lot of differences in terms of the culture of the startup or the kind of atmosphere or the attitude? Well, I think the things have changed a lot So, you know, I was in last times in Europe operating was in 2003. So things have changed a lot I think what is What some of the changes that the kind of our experience was it's it was really hard to scale Across Europe. So like at last minute or come like setting up different offices setting a different structure Whereas in the US you just immediately have 250 million people you can access like very very quickly So that scaling process in the US was probably easier and much much easier That the talent has got so much better today in Europe the reading the atomica report last night It's like the talent is really created next generation of companies, but in There's no substitute for Silicon Valley. You know, I remember, you know for for truly for truly when we're public We just said, okay, here's here's 10 CFOs that could take the company public Here's 10 general councils that can take the company public and we kind of immediately could tap into that talent pool That's kind of lacking in Europe particularly in just one concentrated area So those are you know that I think things have got a lot better in Europe But it still just lacks that kind of network effect that Silicon Valley There's sort of density of people in capital and then that efficiency to scale So now you are moving on from being actually a founder founder of a fund But you still work with a lot of founders. I know you do a lot of Advising and working a lot of founders. I'm curious like when you meet a founder Do you have kind of like standard advice you give them or do you give them kind of tips? Like you like from from the experience you've had or do you have you do you tailor for them with you? I'm just curious like what when you meet a founder, what's the first thing you say to them? If you have a first thing, um You know, I think this I mean, there's no sort of golden rule. Obviously. I think some of the stuff that kind of I'm sort of particularly focused on is like is one is like, you know We assume you have a great product to breakthrough product and you're searching for product market fit But how are you going to grow? What is the growth strategy? Like it's kind of I you know My role at last minute was in growth that truly really focus on growth So finding whether you're in a sort of a SME company. How do you get your first thousand customers? If your consumer business, how do you get the first million users? Just finding what is that? Momentum, what is that tactic? How do you build that into the product? So thinking really critically about about growth and Building that into the product to the very outset and that's something we really focus on it in effects Another piece is the culture. It's like this is a long journey like Last minute truly are they you know, 10 years truly it took so building that culture and that persistence from a founder That's it's critical and then culture is something that just doesn't happen. You have to program that culture So programming the culture and being very authentic and being very deliberate about that and then three is like what is the defensibility so Network effects is kind of our main focus on defensibility and we've seen that you know that through the history of the internet the last 30 years network effects have been the driving force of Defensibility and returns within technology So we really look at how once you have a good product that's going fast into great culture How are you defensible and building network effects into that it's super great So growth culture defensibility those are the three things exactly great What about when you meet a founder and they're stressed out? What would you say to a founder who's stressed out? Which are inevitably are and they're probably stressed out every day all day But what's any kind of advice to a founder who is just just not having a good time right now? Yeah, really stressed out. Although, you know when you ask them, how's it going? It's awesome. Yeah I'm crushing it You know, I think what You know, I In many respects that you know going through the experience with Sammy and truly was incredibly Sort of powerful experiences are found and I think some of the stuff that we really focus on was sort of authenticity and Transparency between each other. So, you know, I think you're sort of natural Tennessee perhaps as Finns and Brits is to like it's a kind of like don't share your challenges like no one wants to hear about your problems In England, you know, like don't grumble don't can stop that complaining whereas I think you know the in You know, we build a culture which was really based on transparency and authenticity Which you know rather than boggling up the stress kind of communicate the challenges Communicate the opportunity kind of you know, I think you need to balance kind of vulnerability with With transparency and sort of being authentic saying this is really hard Like we need everyone to rally around and figure this out. So kind of I learned to kind of stop that kind of northern European Yeah, internalizing stress and kind of become a bit more northern Californian and Kind of open open that out and sharing that Let's talk about NFX. So if NFX stands for network effects by the way It took me a little while to figure that one out even though. I know the business pretty well I So it's it's a Brits in Israeli and is James in American American. Yeah, so three Two immigrants in an American founding a VC fund in Silicon Valley. Yeah, tell just on the top level. Tell me about NFX a little bit Yep. So kind of firstly, I just feel Incredibly fortunate to work with James and Gigi. So they are amazing founders investors advisors at Gigi's Seen as the number one angel investor in in Israel incredible kind of connectivities founded number of companies invested in more than a hundred companies And he's just a force of nature. Similarly James. It's just Founded a number of companies super successful and just is this Sort of behind-the-scenes growth startup expert that vises many many many unicorns So we brought together this team of sort of very experienced entrepreneurs to help to invest in What hopefully is the next set of unicorns focus at the seed stage some of the stuff that we think is kind of different exceptional is that We've we sort of look at the venture process and think it's incredibly antiquated like you've raised money We raised money. It's just like there must be a better way And it's a very sort of medieval backward process So so what we've done is the majority of a team today is software engineers So we have like half a dozen software engineers that are building tools for entrepreneurs We think the next great venture capital firms will have a significant soft proprietary software component So we're building that into the fund to help ourselves to be better investors to help our portfolio the guild the community And to help to build the the broader ecosystem. So we've focused on that we focus on early stage We just closed a hundred fifty million dollar fund where Focus on network effect businesses Any industry is a consumer if it is network effect is a key thing that's in your name. So it has to be there So we're not so we're not focused on particular industries. We focus, you know, we've got a breadth of different experience. So We are particularly excited about kind of emerging technologies whether that's AI whether that's blockchain whether that's smart cities CRISPR whole bunch of different different industries we're based in San Francisco So we like to be close to the companies in San Francisco to help them to grow and develop and we think this kind of thesis around network effects Plus a plus the background that we bring is very unique and very compelling. So there are probably At least a handful or I don't know maybe a thousand companies here. Maybe you want to talk to you So how do they get in touch with you? so the best way to get in touch we built actually built a tool to help founders meet with Investors called signal so signal to nfx.com And that's a web. That's the address the email address Well, that's signal dot nfx.com is a tool which are any founder to can use to really connect with almost any investor The best way is to use that to connect with us because that helps you find warm introductions to investors So go in there and signal dot nfx.com got it. Yeah, so that's a way to get in touch through great Well, thank you Pete. Good luck with the new fun great pleasure to talk to you great to be here. Thank you. Thank you


In combinatorial mathematics, the Catalan numbers form a sequence of natural numbers that occur in various counting problems, often involving recursively defined objects. They are named for the Belgian mathematician Eugène Charles Catalan, 1814 to 1894. You could memorize that answer and say that you know what Catalan numbers are, but would that satisfy you? You might want to know how they are used and how do you find them, and then maybe if you can find a really big one, or what is the millionth Catalan number, if it even exists? So many questions, but first, a game involving strings of ones and zeros. The first rule is that strings must have equal numbers of ones and zeros. The second rule is that no initial segment has more zeros than ones. For n equals zero, there is one string, the empty string. No zeros, no ones, no initial segments, easy peasy. Next, n equals one. There are four strings, but only two will pass rule one. These two are either a zero followed by a one, or a one followed by a zero. But zero one fails rule two. So for n equals one, one zero is the only valid string. For n equals two, there are sixteen choices, but only six pass rule one with equal numbers of ones and zeros. We can also eliminate all strings that do not begin with one because of rule two. This leaves one one zero zero, one zero one zero, one zero zero one as the options. One zero zero one fails rule two further down the string. So for n equals two, there are only two valid strings. One one zero zero and one zero one zero. You get the idea.
