He been through what a lot of people would have made it through. You know, and so I had to get that boy, Derzai in the building, man. Definitely. New Orleans in the building, man. New Orleans in the building. Stop playing, man. Night ward in the building. Night ward in the building, man. Night ward in the building. I told y'all niggas, I told y'all niggas. Just like Bootsy Daughter said. You know what I'm talking about? When I tell you, man, we got a show going over here. We got a show going over here, man. And listen, man, when I heard your story, when I seen everything from the bullets, charged to everything that you've been through, which we about to get into all that, but I know my wife gon' take it back further than that. But boy, you got a story, and thank God that you made it through, bro. Thank God, and I thank you for that. Man, come on, man. You family now. Once you hit the dope, once you hit the dope. Locked in now. It's over. So Derzai, first of all, where you get that name from? I'm from the Desire Projects, and my nickname is Derity. Derity. The Desire Projects, one of the biggest projects down there. One of the biggest projects in the world. I never heard of that. How big is it? You said in the world? How big is it in the world, yeah. Why is it so, like, how big is it? What are you saying in the world now? Yeah. How big is that project? Well, I don't know exactly. You don't know square foot? Yeah, exactly. You want to know the name of the square foot? I know, but what you said is about, it's about 18 miles long. Who you gonna come up with, man? It's the biggest in New Orleans for sure. Oh, okay. It's bigger than the Cali-O? Yeah, it's bigger than all projects. Wow. So tell me what makes, other than the size, what makes that project different from all the other projects? Well, ain't too much different. Life in a project is life in a project. We might have a few different experiences because of the unique people that's there. So there was people that's there, not there. So that's what actually just makes the difference. As far as they're living, growing up and together with the ghetto. I noticed y'all accent sometimes, depends on the project you're from. It's a little bit sometimes, a little bit deeper sometimes, it's not so strong enough. I just love the New Orleans accent. I'm telling you, but they said, it just depends on what part you're from is how you speak. Yeah, because we all have our different lingo and things, you know, how we communicate with each other. Just by certain things a person say, you could tell what part of the city you're from. Who has the strongest accent down there? Because somebody told me, it's when you really down there in the swamp. That's when you have that strong accent down there. Yeah, well as far as that Cajun accent, you know what you were saying? I think our accent is more of ebonics. Oh, okay. You know, we create our own way of saying things. Like when you say it was down. It was down. It was down. That's just what's happening. But we merge it all together and make it just one, one. Right. Shout out to my boy, Big Boz, man. Like Boz was one that he had a deep accent when I interviewed him. Boz worth, man, like I said, you could tell he ain't letting it go. He won in the warrants, man. And no limit is, you know, you heard of Boz. I know you know Boz, man. Come on Anthony. Boz got one of the warrants, man.  I just didn't have Boz talk one on one, you know, before Katrina, but I just had this two years, but I'm just saying, far as the podcast go, still have been there 17 years. But just coming down there each time, the culture is so thick, man. Bourbon Street and all that stuff, man. You get to experience another part of it every time you come. Every time, the food crazy. You get to experience the last time. Yeah, she was pregnant with our first daughter who's 18 now. So that was 18 years ago when we first came down and me and her was together come down there and just enjoyed the Bourbon Street and just the first, you know what I mean? Just getting to know the culture and just eating the food and just hanging out. And then of course we've been back several times since then, but love New Arthur. Yeah, I don't travel around and every place have, you know, something special you'll find about it that made you like it.  Like, New Orleans is a vibe. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Survive, because it's party, 24-7. Yeah, let's get into the background. And, but let me ask you a question because I know that some people would say in New Orleans there's a lot of people who speak French. Yeah. But does everybody speak French? No. It's because it's a part of y'all's life, right? Yeah, it's a part of New Orleans. New Orleans.  Okay, so is it a certain part of New Orleans? No, that's really old in New Orleans when New Orleans was founded, you know, back, this way back, you know, when the French actually was, you know, in control of New Orleans, but their influence is still, you know, felt throughout New Orleans. Right. But it would really take like a person older than myself who would be there. Well, Bob's broke it down to us. Yeah, who would be there? No, no, but we didn't talk about speaking French, actually. Yeah. No, I don't even know anyone that speaks French. That speaks French down there. No. Okay. Okay. See, y'all niggas ain't worried about no damn friends. I was just asking. See, y'all niggas worried about trying to ramp, go down there and have a good time whenever the city turned up They ain't trying, they think having a great life. They's not trying to figure out the history of what happened with the French.  Yeah, I was raised with both parents. With both parents? That's a blessing, because a lot of people don't. I don't bless them. I've been blessed from the beginning. God already had them pick me for His purpose already. That's why all the things I went through is just was Him building me, building my character, building my strength, building my faith, you know? That's all I look at so that I can accomplish His mission. You have siblings as well? Younger brother, younger sister. So you're the oldest? I'm the oldest. Wow. How much younger are they? Mm, my sister. We're each like four years apart. Okay. Okay. So what did you, as a child though, because you know how as you get older you realize how fortunate you were as a child with mom and dad growing up in the same household. But as a child, did you realize that? Yeah, because none of my friends had their father living in a household with them, so it was noticeable. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. So, okay, so growing up, did you always want to do music? What did you want to do when you were growing up? When I was growing up, I really didn't want to do anything. None. The type of person I am, I just want to travel. But you got to have money to travel. Yeah, that's why I own businesses. How old did you start your first business? Oh, when I first came up with the concept for Project Music, I had to probably be about 18, 19 years old. I got it tattooed on me years before I actually got the company. I didn't get the company until 2005, but I got the tattoo on me out there in Houston when I went out there after Katrina, because I knew I was going through that. Wow, I said pre-Katrina and post-Katrina. You dealt with both of those. Yeah. Wow, that's hard. I was a rapper, pre-Katrina. Wow. Already, with a group called the YG's, L-O-G. Well, okay, and how did you guys create your music? What you mean? I mean, for us to produce it, how did y'all get it out? It was produced by Sinister, you know, Sinister on the tracks? Yeah. Sinister on the tracks. The whole project was produced by Sinister. It was with Gaila Teenian Records. Yeah, and he was really under L-O-G. Okay. And he the one that presented us. We was two artists from the Desire Projects and two artists from the Florida Projects. Okay. So he took those four artists and put them together and made a group. How old were you? He also stopped a lot of conflict between the Desire and the Florida Projects. That's so big. How old were you at that time? 18. Oh, so everything started at 18? Yeah. Once I graduated from high school, it was, you know, now I gotta figure out what I wanna do and when the opportunity they presented itself, I done it. But was it good? There's a, I don't come here with no idea. Was it good? I was doing it. During that time, was it going down? Let that play around. Hey, man. Was it good? Yeah, I got a song, well, I ain't gonna say me. We have a song called Florida Desire. Right now they put on in the club and it's gonna go. And I'm still gonna go, you're gonna go.  That's big. So you're still making money off of that? That's huge. Cause after, how many years was that? That was been, that's been since 99. Ooh. And you still, they singing word for word down there? That's, that's stapled in, you know, because at a time when the hot boys was emerging. Yeah, I remember. He was the downtown group emerging, but you know, cash money wind up. Blowing up. Yeah, doing that thing, you know. Did you ever have run-ins with any of the, like, like, what, what, when I say run-in, just really, did you ever work with them? Did you ever have dealing with soldier slim or any of those guys? Yeah, soldier slim with my partner, man, new soldier. You met him before and everything? Yeah. Okay, so he was in Magnolia, right? Yeah, Magnolia. How far is Magnolia from? Design. No one in New Orleans is only 30 minutes away. It is, it is. I thought everybody said, no, this is a small area we talking about. It's not like out here where you drive in way not. Okay, give me a soldier slim story and something that sticks out for you.  But I already had a relationship, like with chaotic, you know, with Bob, Callio Bob. But he took me up there to the Magnolia to meet soldier slim.   So I'm rapping for him, rapping for him.  Wow, that's a big, that's a big up. You know what I'm saying? How did that make you feel to hear him say that? Then you were just, we just talking. I felt solidified. Wow. Felt solidified, big dog just asked me. Big dog said, you know, I could be a part of this team and I'm from downtown. Wow. That's crazy because a lot of people had those stories where they connected with him. When you think about, we're going to talk a little bit more about soldier slim. What, when you think about soldier slim, like what's the best song, the one and the one that stick out for you? Well, the one that I used to always be bumping is, that's Mahu. That resonated with you. I felt like that was my song at that time, you know. I'm dealing with females and that one, I used to like that one. Wow.  I'm just a gentleman and ladies are attracted to that. My mom raised me right. Oh, okay. That's hard, man. So when you think about just, you know, being from Louisiana and just all the things that the history and everything that it foretells, like is it something that basically when a person come to New Orleans, is it something that they got to go, somewhere they got to go, something they got to do? What sticks out when you come to New Orleans? Well, the food for sure. The food for sure. And you got to go like visit the French Quarter area. Yeah. Yeah. That's what the party going 24-7, especially if you're going around a certain time, like if they have, you know, an event in the city, you know, Beyonce just recently was El Vidal. Was in the city.  So Canal Street is one thing that you need to visit. I wouldn't recommend you visit in no neighborhoods. Everybody say that. Yeah, I wouldn't, you know, I like, let's go see the Magnolia. Right. I wouldn't recommend it. Is it dangerous? Just the day before yesterday in New Orleans, the DA and his mother was called Jack. Wow. The district attorney. And everybody know who it is. Damn. You called Jack the district attorney? Come on, man. So, you know, that's where we are. Murder capital. To another place that people like to go to for some reason I have never been, I don't know if I want to go, is the cemeteries. The cemeteries? Well, yeah, a lot of, because they got a lot of important people that's, you know, buried in the cemeteries. And then also the cemeteries themselves are unique because they're above ground cemeteries, you know. Most people are buried in the ground in New Orleans, people are buried above ground. Where else, where else do you know of that they bury people above ground? I don't know anywhere else. It's because of where they're located. It's below sea level, so, you know, it's prone to flooding. I guess they had experience with... Body stones coming up. It's coming up out of the ground. Yeah, ground. That's saturated enough. On that documentary, you've seen soldier Slim, little soldier Slim, shout out.  It's crazy, man. Let's get into your whole accident because me and you talked about it on the phone, but we gotta go just go down through there, you know, like, anyway, like, we gotta figure out what that was about. From the start to the beginning, I don't want the version, I want to hear everything that had been leading up to it for some reason. You know what I'm saying? Well, I can't give you the information because... Is it still? No, because it was a situation that I had no knowledge of. That's what you told me. All I was doing was giving a friend and his girlfriend a ride. How long ago did this happen? It's 2020, December 3rd. Okay. I just was giving my partner and his girl a ride. Now, I didn't know the situation that it was in. You didn't even know they'd be in this at all? I didn't know they'd been in this at all. What made you pick them up? That's my partner. Is it partner?  Was he known for having issues with people? It wasn't his issue. It was the female issue. Really? Female was supposedly testifying against someone. You know how that goes? Somebody else wanted out of here. And... And you didn't know that she... That was going on? I didn't know her like that, you know? I just know her from... That's his, his girlfriend, you know? I never built a relationship with her or anything like that. Because this was, this was in a short period of time that we talked about. So I never even really any acted with her as, you know, that... And she's from down there? Yeah, she's from down there too. But whatever this situation happened with them, they spotted these people. And instead of them informing me of that, they just come and ask for the ride, trying to get a ride from round up. But here, when they get in the car with me, I stopped at the, we get off the interview on the interstate, all the way get off the interstate. When I stopped at the red light, a truck put on the side of me, dude jump out and they were shooting in her window, shooting her, but the bullets was coming through the back of my seat. She was sitting, you know, right? She was sitting behind you? No, she was sitting behind him. Behind him? Yeah, so when they're shooting, they're shooting and they come in a cross to my seat. Damn, I got hit nine times. Nine times with a chopper? Where did it hit you? With an AK-47. With an AK-47? Where did it hit you? Where did you get hit? Most of them was in my back. Two of them hit my wrist. That's why my hand had to be amputated because it was broke. So it was the rig? Yeah, it hit right here. It hit right here. Like actually just two all that, you know, two it up. Yeah. It wasn't no bigger than this right here, my arm. Yeah. So just imagine two AK-47 rounds hitting this. It was just hanging like this. So I'm driving, trying to get to the hospital, like, cause I didn't know I was shot all them times. I felt like I was shot, but I didn't know I was shot. The drill was still rushing. Yeah. My mind would have magically clicked the survival move.  You said, so the seven other shots hit you all in your back? No, one hit me in this arm right here. And it took me, it's the one that bled the most. It couldn't stop bleeding. It was just a little nick on the. It because of where it hit? Probably. And then the other ones? Yeah, the rest of them was in my back. But it didn't hit your spine, it didn't hit any of that sort of stuff, huh? But one of them did come through my back right chain. Come out my heart. Wow. Come out your heart? Yes, they had to crack my chest open. I have a plate that's holding my chest, my rib cage together. The dude served you on my heart.  From the story, even me hearing it myself, I'm like, oh, that's number God. If I say anything else, like, I'll just be lying. So the girl, did she survive? She didn't survive. Did he survive? He survived. He got hit because he jumped from the passenger seat to the back, you know, my girl. Oh, he trying to protect her? Yeah, but see that was also the thing that, cause I didn't remember what happened when I first woke up. But as my memory came back, the thing that I remember that made me know he know what was going on.  Right. Yeah. You already knew what the situation was. How many times did he get shot? He just got hit, grazed. Like, he was nothing major. Nothing major. He took himself out to the hospital. So he was nothing major. And he went out of town and I haven't seen him since. So you never seen him again? No. I talked to him, but I haven't seen him. Hold on, what was that conversation? I didn't tell him that we're not partners no more. Wow. So he was like, man. He called you or you called him? He called me. He kept trying to contact me, contact me. And I'm, you know, I ain't trying to deal with him. So when you finally talked to him?  So I'm like, what's up? What's happening? Face time? What's up? What's happening?  I say, no, check this out. You not my partner no more, man. You not my partner.  I have a tattoo on me right here. You say, old Dirk died, 10, three, 20, man.  Dirk with a one hand and you don't know me. You never even saw me in person, man. Like, look, stop contacting me, man.  Yeah, cause he, cause that pretty much changed everything. Changed everything, man. And y'all been knowing each other for a long time since I was a kid. Man, since we was there, man, it's my partner, my brother. He should have knew not to do that is what you're saying. Of course. You know how the game go, man. When he ran into me on some, she wasn't, you know, man, she ain't, I ain't really know she wasn't telling me this, that, and the third. But like I say, when the shots went up, you holler, my girl. You ain't think they were shooting you. You ain't think they were shooting me. You thought they were shooting her. Yeah, cause you understood what was going on. I didn't know what was going on. Y'all too knew what was happening. And I never heard that female say not one word unless the first boy that just killed her cause she never hollered, screamed, nothing. Wow. So, and that's crazy. Did even her family, did they try to contact you? Nah. Did you ever see them? You don't know her like that. I don't know her like that. For her family to contact me or anything. Did you tell old boy, you knew that girl, whoever this cause, and he was like, he telling me like, man, she didn't, but then he also in the midst of the conversation, he said, man, I saw that truck out there. I know you did. Of course, I know you did. Wow. And so how long had you been at the hospital when he made this call to you? Nah, this call was just this year. Oh, this call was recently. Yeah, this call was just this year. Cause you've been trying to keep him away from, he keep trying to get you to know. I called him when I first woke up, when I first got, you know, well enough cause I couldn't talk. I had to learn how to talk again. Yeah, we gon' get into that. How long were you in the hospital for? I went in the hospital, I got shot in December and I came out like April. Okay. Okay. So, but you couldn't talk. So, at the end of the day, you had to build yourself back up to even be able to talk. Yeah, I had to go to these different therapy and stuff. How many surgeries did you have? Well, I had six to close my stomach up. Cause you got a scar right here on your stomach, don't you? Yeah, it run from my pelvic area all the way up to your, to your heart. Yeah.  Yeah, that's why my skull is like an autopsy skull. You ain't even thought I was gonna make it. They told my parents, they let my parents come see me with the open up. Really? Yeah, cause they figured, you know, it's saving me enough to where my family could come in with a, but they just don't know my goal. Come on, man. Hmm. Let's talk about, let's talk about the surgery. Like when you went in, you only couldn't go by what you heard after that they put you out. I was out from, when I passed out in the cold. How long did, you pass out in the car? Yeah, I passed out, I didn't make it to the hospital. Okay, let's talk about that. What happened? You crashed? Yeah, I was losing too much blood. I was shot nine times. And he was in there too. And he was trying to drive to the hospital, but he was back there crying in, you know, mourning his, his girl. So when y'all crashed, the ambulance came. I don't know what happened when I crashed.  Nobody hasn't told you? I obviously didn't hear the ambulance came. That's okay. Yeah. But they didn't tell you like how long it took them to come all of a sudden. He was able to get out and flag someone down. But the crazy part is he flagged the people down and they say, my girl. Hmm. It took for someone to pass and say, hey, got someone behind the wheel too. Wow. And how do you know that? You heard him? No, this is, you know. No, he's already passed out. Somebody told you. Somebody told. Yeah, this was from the, you know, the people. The people that got you. I gotta ask.  What street did this happen on? Crowder. Crowder. Crowder Boulevard in New Orleans, East. And then when you drove, what street did you have that wreck on? How far did you get? I drove a right, so crowded. I turned down Lake Forest and I drove all the way to Lake Forest and Reed, which would be the next, you know, across street. Okay, and that's where you had the wreck? I didn't expect it if you was getting off the interstate. Yeah, cause the hospital is right there to my right. Oh, so you was not far from it? I was almost there, but they said, good thing I did make it there because I probably would have died. The hospital don't have a trauma unit. That's not the type of hospital. So when they came and picked up, they had to take you somewhere else. They had to bring me to the University Medical Center, the main hospital in order to save my life. But they were able to transport me from where I was at in New Orleans, East, all the way to, like, around the Superdome to the hospital. Kept me alive. It kept me alive. It saved my life. Wow, cause when you think about the time for you to get there, you out. No. No, when the ambulance picked you up, you out. How long were you out? How many surgeries did you go through before you woke up? But what, a total surgery, I don't really know. You don't even know? Nah, see, cause that shit, I never even, like once I was alive, man, I just worship and go and pray and thank God, man. The rest of that don't matter, you know? But it's information for, you know, for the people, so that, yeah, yeah. But I don't have to ask my mom, she was, She was there. Yeah, she knows everything, everything. She was there? Yeah. And praying. She said she never felt like I was gonna die. That's hard, man, that's fake. Because I went to the hospital and she had COVID at the time. Wow. Well, she had my own COVID. And they let her in there? Full-blown COVID. And they let her in there? Yeah, but we didn't disclose to them that she had COVID. They didn't disclose to them that she had COVID. They knew they was a stopper from the COVID. She had to get to her baby. She had to come. But when she got to the hospital, she told everybody, hey, stop all that crying. Y'all ain't about to cry about y'all away. She's strong in faith. That's why I'm strong in faith. That's real. You told me how to pray. So you get, when you come, when you come to, tell me about that. When I come to, I raise my head up and I look around.  I don't know what happened to me. Who was the first person you saw? Her. Nobody. Nobody was in there when you? It was COVID. No visitors, no, none of that. So I woke up. But my mother was there. My mother was there. I looked up. I look around. I see my hand going. Like this, it was healed. Yeah. Already. Already healed. It was healed. When I saw it. But the staples and just the cut is still open, but this was healed.  Yes, well, I'm telling you. Look, I had just got a fresh haircut. Like, I was before this happened. And when I woke up, I had a bushy head. I had a whole hair for it. I had a bushy head and everything. And then Michael Jackson. That's how long I was out, man. But you came alive. And I thank God for it. And when you woke up, man, I had to be different. I woke up. I saw my arm was gone. I thought I was tripping. I just lay it back again. And I raised it back up again. And I moved.  And I'm like, yeah, you know, I can't talk. So I'm just shaking my head. She was like, you don't remember? I'm like, nah, so you don't remember? No, no, no, no. So she said, just why you just cut. So she didn't tell me anything, which kept me up every night. She's like, I never went back to sleep. I never went to sleep.  I never went to sleep. She used to call the hospital three o'clock every morning to check on me.  My mind, I couldn't figure out what happened to me. And I'd never been hurt like that before. Yeah. Like, I'd never been. So you couldn't remember back till the shooting or none of that? Not at that time. At that time, initially waking up under medication and things like that. I don't know. You were drawing a blank. But how long did it take before somebody actually told you what happened? The police. When did they come in? They wanted to question me. OK. But they had to wait till I was able to start talking. How long did it take you to regain your voice? I'm not sure. Like, to give you an exact time to hear. I don't really know.  And your voice went because of where the bullet hit? No. First went from surgery. Surgery, man, one of my kidneys, they removed my kidney. They removed my kidney, my spleen. So the hand is just the damage that you could see. But it was a lot more damage done. A lot more damage. So they removed all of that because it was damaged? That was damaged. Because of shot? I had a colostomy band. You did? I was able to get it reversed. The doctors couldn't even understand how it was healing up. Why? To a little more hard. As God. But, you know. You told them?  I'm sitting up, eating my talking to them, and like, wow. This nigga, healing back. Man, that was awesome, man. Then, come on, man. He also made me. I'm sure you see. I'm talking about to be able to, he get hit nine times. Five times. Lose his arm. Yeah. And look, and still, he understand that God was the reason for the season, man. A lot of people lost, man. If you don't believe there's a God, you're crazy. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Your faith kept you going, didn't it? You're going to suffer more than you think you suffer. Yeah, yeah. It's coming to a time where all you're going to have is God and people without God, it's crude. Want to be left standing, the other one will be taken away. Some people would even ask, like, did you, I know a lot of things you say you don't remember, but something like that, maybe I watch too many movies or some, but did you recall ever having like an out of body experience or anything like that? No. They ask me, you ain't saw such and such. Right. And yeah.  I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to get back together. I ain't saw nobody. Probably knew why I ain't saw nobody. Why? I never crossed over. Already. I don't even know what. Like my mama said, my son is still in there. My faith is already done. And she rolled with that. Now you got to think about it though. Let's talk about it, man, for a minute. Trying to get back to walking, trying to understand how to use your arm with what you got now. How was that? How did you figure it out? Because we see you now. I hug you when you come through the door. You move it. Everything seemed to be all right. Listen, God already had me pre-programmed. Wow. Pre-programmed. He prepared me for the situation. When I didn't even know he was preparing me for the situation. How did he do that? Wow. By already implanting me the confidence. See, because that's what it be. It be that lack of confidence to have a person not wanting to do this or not. Like, not me. Not even for a moment. When they told me I couldn't walk, I was like, damn. They say, no, not. You're not paralyzed or anything. They say you just been laying in a hospital so long you haven't used your legs. I say, oh, well, I'm going to walk. I know that's like, I'm not paralyzed. Oh, yeah, I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk. Man, man. So how was it getting up for the first time? It was a struggle, wasn't it? It was a struggle, man. Somebody had to help you up, and you were helping me up. I take a few steps, and I'm like, because they didn't have to know your core. Your core is with you. That's right, that's right. My core is damaged. Damaged. It's sore, isn't it? So that's affecting the strength that's going into your legs and all that play a part. Your body is made to work in unison. When you take a part of that or mess up a part of that, your body is out of unison. Wow, man. Until you just get back one with God, and then you back one again. Wow, and so when you say from the time that you were starting to get helped up to the time you was able to walk properly, how long did that take? I'll let you know. Oh, you still working on it? Yeah, I'm working on it. Come on, man, because now you start to look at being sore or having those pains certain times. Do you ever have a... Ever. That's right. Oh, is that something you've been telling me? Yeah, yeah. I'm going to deal with this forever. Ever. But I accepted it. OK. Is it worse in the winter time? Of course. The minute the weather changed, I felt it. Because this is going to let me know. This is very sensitive, you know, by being sensitive. It's picking up on the breeze or like anything. That's why you got it covered like that? I got it covered. My mom made this for me. So it'll cover you? So it'll cover you? It's just a sleeve, just a cover. It's a sleeve, yeah. And it keeps you warm. It's thick, is it? It's thick. Wow, did that ever mess with you mentally, like when you just say, man, now I got one of my limbs missing? You was always confident. He said, this is a God. That's hard. I don't question God, man. Do you ever catch kids looking at you or anything like that? No, see, this is what I respect about kids. Kids going to ask you. Yeah. They there and show you. See, I catch adults staring at you. That's what I don't like. You don't like the don'ts thing. But the kids going to say, what? Kids going to say, what happened to you? And I tell them, I got shot. Stay out of the streets. So that it become a testimony to help people. That's what it's all about. I'm alive to be a testimony to help people. That's hard. Not for me. Not for me to do my thing to be doing podcasts and all that. That ain't what it's about. That's just, you know, a part of the journey. That's right. Yeah, but that ain't what it's about. When you think. Well, what I like, sorry, but hold on. But you know what I like about the fact that you said testimony is the fact that it wasn't you weren't the one in the streets or doing anything bad or anything like that. This could have happened to any body. And that's what people don't understand. People think that I'm not out of stuff. Bad. That's why you were to accept it. OK. It was just my turn. So you had already experienced this. You had things that was programmed for this. So I got shot and didn't panic. I drove to the hospital. Hospital right there. Yeah, yeah. In the streets. So I want to talk about. So you could talk. You could help a lot of people because of that. I want to talk about like the people that did do the shooting. Did they ever catch them? You don't even know. Never even try to find out. Never try to find out. Because he didn't see who they were or nothing like that. Correct. But it could have been somebody around. But you know, you never know. People talk. Investigators. Nah. You never even came back to me through the streets. Who shot me? Wow. Never even came. Because they use it. That's a cold lick there. Because the streets is worried. The streets. Come tell me about who shot everybody. That's what's crazy. I understand. It wasn't for me. Why suffer consequences if I don't have to? I totally understand. If I don't have. Hey, look, that wasn't for you. But you was in the car with the girl who was testifying. You know what I mean? Like, if you're in the streets, you know. You know what I did. I took my lick. OK, that's what it goes. I can't be against the winners' beneficial. Yeah. But when it's bad, then I'm not. It is what it is, man. What was the advice that Booby Black gave you? Yeah, man.  And he shows me, you know, through his way, his living. Like, being experienced, you know, the situation and his life driving. That's right. So it made me think mine should be any different. For people like me who don't know who Booby Black is, who is that? Booby Black is an OG from Uptown, Magnolia Projects. He also was shot up and had, you know, unamputated. Oh, wow. Yeah. So that's coming from somebody who's already been there? No. Somebody who's been there. Been through it already. Was it important? How did he even link it? He knew him already or he just found you? Well, we have mutual people that we don't know. Back again to my same partner, Hulk, who I was telling you. Yeah. Free Hulk who hooked me up with Soul to Snap. He also hooked me up with Booby Black because he's Magnolia. So he had connections to these people. And he also was, his family is from the Florida Project also. So he's, you know, we have connections to both. He was able to connect. Did he come to the hospital or did you see him in the streets? Nah, he was in the streets. In the streets? We had a cover football game. And he just walked up to you and told you? No, we know each other. Oh, y'all, OK. Like, what's up, nigga? Talked on the phone, you know. See each other at certainly events.  So then when I had the situation, nothing changed. It's the same thing. But I love it. It's all good, you know. Yeah. Just do your thing, man. Still do your thing, man. That don't stop nothing. It stopped nothing, man. It didn't stop nothing yet. Wow. What about, like, when you think about the kids and your kids? How old are your kids when it's happened? I only have one kid. How old is he? I have a 17-year-old son. And he about to be Mr. Junior tomorrow. He play for Madison. Come on now. Number nine. Number nine. That's why you have the nine around your neck? No, no. Night warrior, night warrior. Everything is nine. Number nine is the last number, man. There's no other number bigger than nine.  Come up, it's a problem. I'm betting whatever. Hey! I always bet no nine, baby. I always bet no nine. When I lose, I'm betting again. Wow. BG comes on. Yeah. He home now. Music and everything. He's getting back to it. Like, definitely, were you excited to see him come back to, you know? Most definitely, man. After 13 years, I love it. I really want to, you know, be able to go through that situation and be with these bags of their family, you know? Yeah. Yeah. And especially when you go through your situation and stand on it like the way he did, you know? You got to understand this BG, man. You know, BG, I have a lot of information if he wanted to indulge in any of it. Stand up God. You'll never hear anything about anything. And I respect that. Wow. When you look at, like, today, like, down in New Orleans, who would, who, the music wise, who do you see and who really, like, when you see it, you're like, damn, he doing this thing? Nine for nine. Damn show he is. Nine for nine. And then you have another young man in a city called Y.D. The Hillis. Know about Y.D. The Hillis? I've heard of it. Another up and coming. I could see it buzzing. I could see it back at him. Wow. When you think about, like, the Cash Money movement, I got to ask you these questions. The Cash Money movement, when it first happened, being that you was in music, how big was it for you to see, you know, Berryman Slim, them come from the trenches like that? It was very big, because, like I said, when the hot boy was coming out, we had the YG coming out. So we really trying to accomplish the same thing. Trying to find the same blue plant with babies. They do the same exact thing. But downtown. But downtown. Wow. So do downtown and uptown, they don't do they rock or? They don't rock. Like I just told you, like, Caliobar, chaotic, all uptown parties. Caliobar, you been there? Little soldiers, Slim, that's all my homies. That's hard. So do you, when you think about it, you know, Mack, we had him on the show as well. Mack. Mack is different, man. He did 21 years, right? Yeah. But when you see him, you know, he still has his confidence. He never lost his confidence. He still speak with integrity, and he still, he has forgiveness, and you can see the humbleness all through his heart, man. How is it, how big is that when you seen Mack come home? Major. Since we, Mack, that bring me to, I have a movie on the way that I wrote it, I wrecked it. It's called Sidewalks to Movies. It's the same for everybody, why they made Sidewalks, you know? And Mack is in the movie. Mack in the movie. Mack in the movie, Caliobar in the movie, Wacko, Skip. They in the movie? Mack, everybody in the movie, man. Snipe. Really? Then Ace, Ace in the movie. Then they can wiggle up. You know, Ace, he be with Bart, Ace, you know, Ace, Caliobar, Ace have a movie on the way. They do have, yeah, they came in. Superish. Yeah, man. Y'all working down there. Working down there, man. New Orleans as a whole, we working, man. Wow, that's crazy, man. I love it, though. I love the fact, man. So, like, what type, like, I said Mack, but no limit, I know the older, but Fiend and all those guys, you remember seeing them when that movie was going on as well? Yeah, and they were celebrities. Wow. That's how they always was going to be looked at as celebrities, because I always was going to their concert. Wow. So, it was a celebrity. Wow, yeah. Shout out to KLC, that's my boy, man. Shout out to KLC. Love KL, man. KL, show me mad love. One of my other... I did some KL at the Mack concert. Did you? Mm-hmm, we took a picture and talked, because he saw one of my other interviews that I had done. And he was like, man, I like how you... Energy Elves. It's, who was I going to say? D1, man, D1. You know D1? No, I don't... Well, I know D1, because I have met D1 before, but me and D1 never built a relationship. Never built a relationship. Because he younger, too. I see everything that he's doing, and I salute him for, you know, for being that opposed and adverse to, you know, the things that really deteriorating the mindset of our young black people. Wow. That's real. That's a real one. Man, now, who you got with you today? Who is this guy right here? Man, right there. That's my little brother, Rivers. Rivers? Y'all got some projects coming together, you say? Man, man, Rivers got a project coming called Dirty Rivers. Oh, yeah? Yeah, man. What made y'all link up? Man, that young boy, Beast, man, only coming rapping, man. Oh, yeah? Yes, indeed. How did y'all even know each other, just in the same neighborhood? No, we was introduced to each other through my other homie, King Mike. Shout out, King Mike. He is the lead character of Big Bank in my movie, Sidewalks. Wow. That's crazy, man. Y'all be just linking and working. The work bringing y'all together, nigga. It's the work. Little songs in the movie. Everybody here in the movie, too. You go back down there to jump in the movie? Everybody in the movie, man. Because it's film down there, right? Yeah, it's film down there, man. Shout out, SMG, Jig, Uptown, Jig, each other city. Let me ask you something, man. And this is something that I think about on time, with Baton Rouge being just 45 minutes to an hour away. How have you ever linked with any of those artists? I always think about how that separation is there, but it's really not that far. No, I never really had a connection to anyone from Baton Rouge, too. It's not like I wouldn't. Yeah. It just never was connected. But you heard Boosin' him. You heard Webby and Boosin'. Baton Rouge are hard artists. NBA Young Boy. And I like that they have these songs. You know that's Baton Rouge when you hear these artists. You feel me? You can tell. And they stand to the crowd. They sound, and that's what I respect. But I never had a chance to link with them. Link with anyone. Because you got to think, I was really in the streets of New Orleans. I really wasn't linking with nobody or doing anything. I just was, I was doing music, but... New Orleans. New Orleans, you know? Because I don't really like to go nowhere. I can't bring a gun. So I wasn't really going to many places, but now I'm a mature, I'm a grown man. I'm able to go places, conduct myself in a different manner. But that's why a lot of things, you know, I'm not a part of. Like, even when they had the New Orleans Exposed and they was going around, like, at this time, I'm in the street. I'm not even about to get one in the camera. Wow. Do you, when it comes down to Sea Murder, did you keep up with that? Man, free sea. Like, you hear all the controversy surrounding him. I definitely, everybody from Silk to Shark, I interviewed him. You know, that's his brother. You know, it's a free sea murder movement. It was going down, I interviewed Kale, everybody, you know. Want to see Sea come home, man. That's going to be crazy, man. I know that he going to make it home, bro. Yeah, they going to have to let him home, bro, because from my knowledge, brother, man, didn't do that. Everybody see that. Like, the streets of New Orleans, you know, the streets. The streets from day one, say, nah, but those people had their agenda on, you know, what they was trying to do. Yeah, and I think make it out that situation. Yeah, he wouldn't. He wouldn't want to trigger man. Now, but at the end of the day, and he ain't going to speak on what happened in that situation, not his place. That's for the police to find out. But in it, but they're holding him just because of that. That's got a lot to do with it. And that's why we need these laws to be different, man. Like, well, you can't just do that, man. Why? Look at it. Look at the time you taking this man away from his family, the memories, the experiences, the birthdays, the debts. And then to let him go. No, there's no reparation for that. No. Like, you know, but they're doing it so freely because us as a people, we really making them, not making them. You know, we ought to make them do whatever we want to do. And we have to make them see that we are together. That's the only way. No, because they know I could put you against you and you against you. Be happy with that. They ain't going to never unify. They ain't going to never. But if they unify, wow, that's why they fight so hard to keep it, you know. Yeah, I had Konto on here from down there. And Konto was locked up for twenty eight and a half years. And then, you know, he was exonerated because they had him wrong. Great. And, you know, I had George on here, which was the brother of the guy who got killed, which was the one that died in West Bank with C murder and all of them was at the club. And I didn't so just near me. They were there. You came later. I couldn't ever understand that part of it. But at any rate, one thing he told me was like, man, I got the paperwork, the paperwork, you know, it don't lie. And I was like, no, the paperwork do lie because I can't trust that paperwork because I'm interviewing you today. But just not even a week ago, I was interviewing Konto, who been exonerated and was in prison wrongly accused for twenty eight and a half years. You see what I'm saying? And he had paperwork on him just like you got paperwork on C in the situation he was in. So I had to break that down. That was a tough interview for me because I wanted to make sure I didn't want to go be one sided. But, you know, I wanted to let George speak to because that's his brother and he lost the brother that you're trying to. But then both of Massapy and George lost brothers when this incident happened. Nobody won in the situation. Nobody. Only one one was the killer. The killer and the system. Yeah. But the which is the ultimate killer, the killer one because they focused on one person. They're not even looking for me. You see what I'm saying? That's real. The killer is like, oh, man. Probably sad that he murdered had to go down for it. But I'm glad he's not looking for me. And then if he's passed away now, it'll never change.  Part of it. They never even try to see if they had another person. They felt like they had a person. And that's just what they want to be investigation to prove your pain. Yeah. Now just going straight off facts. Like if you go straight off facts, then that's different. But now that you already have just picked this one person, you're going to build, you know, the facts around. Wow. Do you ever? In your what about Juvie Tuesday down there? I hear about Juvie Tuesday.  Juvie Tuesday. Every Tuesday, man, shout out to Juvie, man. You're the Ben Juvie Tuesday. Every Tuesday I used to be my spot. You know, say what you say about Birdman. But all of those guys link back with Birdman in some type of way. You know what I mean? They say this or Birdman and Slim or Cash Money, but they all respect it and separated. They separate. Yeah, that's right. Because they didn't understand business early on. Birdman understood the business early on. He was taking care of the business. They wasn't understanding the business of it. I don't fault Birdman because that's business.  And if you put the money up first, you're going to be more attentive to how am I going to recoup what I'm putting up? So it makes you educate yourself first and foremost so you don't lose your money. Or all this don't understand that these people give you this check for this amount of money. Your album have to make that amount of money first before you see any money from anything. But see what's happening is the game they got so many young rappers now that's talented with no knowledge. It's getting them, getting them, putting them under. And, you know, these dudes' career, even if the ones that do make it, then they wind up on a podcast, talking about how the situation was. But just think about all those that didn't even make it to that point. To the podcast, even just tell you that that happened to them. Damn, like this is this is a shady business, man. It's worse than the streets because people could legally play you legally. But is it I'm going to bring up some because a lot of time they say so just slim, they say he was the two pocket New Orleans. And recently, Keith E.D., after almost 30 years, 27 years later, he's arrested for the murder of two pocket like. What's up with that? I tripped when I seen it. Could you believe that happened like 30 years later because he done wrote books and jumped on podcasts.  Yeah, but he was talking in a way to I'm quite sure he had to know that these was incriminating statement that he was making. Or you were if you didn't, you don't have nobody around you that'll tell you I got on TV, but I still saying the wrong thing. That boy going to be stopped me.   He goes like, man, what are you doing, man? Man, what you doing? Man, because you got to think about it. Keith E.D., though, they said he had counsel or something. And that's why he thought he was going to die.  He said he survived. They told all this stuff, man. They got him locked up. He said, God, going to be with me. You have what he say. I'm still going to be with him. Locked up or not. Locked up or not. He might walk out them doors. You don't know what these folks are going to do, man. But it's all about what God wants for his life. That's right. That's right. And now they talking about they're going to come get my boy, Pete, did it behind and even give out a million dollars.   And then something happened like the way it be like, no, no, no. He here's something we're going to get some money. It's like somebody trying to take these people out of these positions, man. I think you understand what I'm saying? It ain't like I think it's intentional. I think none of this is coincidence. And that's why I have to watch what I say. And when I'm doing these interviews, that's why I say I'm mindful. Very intelligent. Got a lot of things I can speak on. But I don't feel like I'm in a strong enough position to to hold myself down if. Reprocussions were to come from. Speaking out about certain things, you know?  Yeah, I got a hole in my tongue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man. Like what what how can people get a hold of you? First of all, I mean, contact me through Instagram. There is our D.I.R.T. Z as in zebra. I R.E. at gmail.com. Top three all the time, too. There's I.R. Just regular. Oh, you're going to the ground. There is I.R.T. Just put it in, you know, in the streaming platform. I ain't never heard the name before. You about to hear from now on. That's what I'm saying. You got the only you the only there's I.R.T. And this is everything about me is original. Wow, because I have to. I have to be what God wanted to be in order for people to receive me. I have to be original. If I come like something else, you going to just brush it off as like that, that we see me. You got to tune in. You got to see what it's up new. Yeah, um, it's a top three artists of all time that are alive. Any genre, top three. Oh, this is okay. Number one, Lil Wayne. Stop playing. One is the way number two is going to be so disloyal. And number three me. How do you go do it? You should you deserve it. You're I got another question because all that you've been through, um, if you will, if someone is supposed to do a documentary on you, what would you want the main focus of that documentary to be about? Like, oh, it's good that see the documentary of Delph more into my personal life and you would see that I used to be a drug addict, heroin and cocaine. We didn't even get into that topic. But these things that the documentary would delve into, like I have my autobiography called blessed and didn't even know it. And look, man, y'all got to stay tuned. And there is. I'm going to stay coming out. You could always come. You don't know what it hasn't been written. My life is just that is developing. OK, so you haven't started on it. No, it's started, but not started because that that port is right down. But man, I've been life and and I've been loving it. I'm alive. So whenever you had your accident, were you on drugs at that time? No, I've been off drugs. I've been off. I've been clean about to be like 16 years. I've been clean off drugs. But I was on drugs for like 17 years. My whole 20s 20s. What inspired you or what to to to get off of it and to stay off of it? My son. That's the biggest motivator that I could have had, my son. Like once I had a child, it was more than me. When it's just me, I could live reckless.  I feel like they can handle it. They've already before that child. That's your responsibility, you know, but I know so many people, I know so many people who are adults, who have kids and struggling with that drug addiction. I didn't want to rehabs. I went to my grandfather, my grandfather, have a rehab. My grandfather is a preacher. Mm hmm. He's superintendent, John EPL at Living Witness Church of God and Christ, where I'm a member. And I was in that program where I met King Mike at. It was a six month drug rehabilitation program. And through that process, he told me one thing that helped me because I hadn't been in rehab so many times. Every time I felt like I wanted to stop, I went to rehab. But then sometimes I relapsed back to get loaded.  And that resonated so powerful with me to, well, I live by that. Nothing beats a man. If you want to do something and you make up your mind to do it, you're going to do it. And I done that. So you don't believe in, because I hear people talk about, well, because where we're located right now, right? The next door is at AA, right? For meetings and stuff like that. And I've spoken to some of them before and they're saying that some people just have that addictive personality where they just can't get over certain things as easy as somebody who is. Long as that person think like that, that person will have a addictive personality. The minute they stop thinking that I have a addictive personality, you won't stop having an addictive personality. It's all on you. A lot of people want to get off drugs for other people. Not for themselves, because of the family, because of the kids, because of the wife, or because of the job, or because of whatever. So they'll get off drugs, but they'll never get off drugs. Just stop using for that mean time to please whoever it is they're trying to please. And behind, they're moving and shaking and still doing the same thing, which eventually going to show itself because they never like to make a fool out of you in front of God. I agree with you, because I always tell people who I know that in struggling with stuff like that, is the fact that number one, you have to know your triggers. Number two, you have to because you get clean because of that person.  According to A.A. means I shouldn't be drinking. I shouldn't be smoking weed, because all that could trigger me back to getting loaded.  Man, I was looking at some of your older songs. Everything ain't for everybody to do. That's true. I was looking at some of your older music, man. Like, like what I'm going to go back and listen to some more of it. But like, what's the when you look back at your older music and you think back to those time, what what comes to mind? Like the older, older, the older music, the older videos. Just the people that's not here with me on my journey. Yeah. That's that's what I see the most. A lot of people that's in my videos, a lot of people that's in the movie, a lot of people that they just they're not here anymore. You know, and some of the content I've been holding back on putting out because, you know, some of those ones are still first to people. People, you know, and before I just take my, you know, do my thing with it. I'm always going to be respectful, you know, but I'm still going to do it. But I'll be respectful. That's hard, man. But that's the way it's supposed to be, man. Thank you so much for coming on the show. That's our man. We love you, bro. We appreciate you for coming on our show. Man, you can always come here in the project. You trying to drive whatever you're doing, you put you got my number. All you got to do is holla.   I knew God had me on a mission when I first talked to you on the car. Man, GDP is one that you got to shout out because, you know, I always call. That's my that's my fact check guy. Like I call doing too much of major stuff. Bro, I'll be calling that dude anytime somebody can do all this. Reach out to me who's sweeping G the under the rug. I don't think nobody is. I think it's you. You said in a mouthful throughout all this interview, you kept talking about God. Put people what they need to be. What GD is need to be right there where he exactly because he's helping so many people and then his brother is locked up. So he's there in a situation where his brother can be helped in his situation to know he can have a much bigger platform for the amount of people that he helped in due time. I think we don't know what's coming up in the future. But I think he's doing a lot more than we giving credit to like I'm not going to because I'm giving credit. No, I'm talking about far as the people that he touched and helped. It's some people. What's that little kid that passed away? B2Y. Exactly. Like think about how he was in his life and he connected the dots for him. He's also helping. Why did it? Yeah, but with the other kid that's locked up that came on our show, Jay Merck, Jay Merck, all these people. When I called GD, he'd be like, man, I'm going to get on the phone with Jay Merck. You know, there was a scripture that says I was in prison and you didn't visit me. Right. He's fulfilling a visiting situation in his lifestyle that a lot of people ain't even touching. You're putting you putting something that people very rarely do and making it something normal for yourself. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. It's major, man. He's supposed to be getting more recognition for these type of things. But man, come on, let's talk about it for a second. The game is so fake right now and so watered down to the fact that being real is is is is is just being pushed to the side. But then some some foolishness, like say his name, get caught up in the scandal. He'll be on. But I think you know, bro, because you got to realize, man, this dude just went crazy viral. Him and Birdman was on a day. Both him and Birdman was on a person. Yeah, but she didn't have to go viral. He is viral. I get it. But no, everybody is getting on no FaceTime with Birdman and TMZ and everybody's sharing it. That's more major than more niggas will see their whole career. You got rappers and everybody trying to do that. So when we look at GDP, we see what's going on. We we understand it. People see it. Most people don't acknowledge anything, but you got to the Bible. So you got to take it by force. Of course, you got to take it. So I think that's the main thing I think. But when you look at a GDP and you look at what he's done in New Orleans, being that spokesman, man, shout out to my boy, Dallas. No, no, no, no, I say cheese. But China say cheese, too. But Big D, the mogul, because he the one linked me with with GD. And and and I'm just, you know, like when I went to New Orleans, the first thing I did was called had to be God. I called Big D and Big D said, you need to highlight GD. As soon as I highlight GD, well, I highlight KLC first and ran a check on GD. He didn't know that I ran a check on it with KLC first because KLC was my reason for coming. So I was like, yes, it was GD. And he's like, he just spokesman, you know. And so at the end of the day, you know, he checks out. He is a guy that checks out. Everything checks out, man. So I think I thank God for GD, man, because without GD, a lot of the New Orleans stuff you see popping off from Bostock 101. It wouldn't be happening like that, man. I'm saying, man, shout out to GD, man. Yeah, man. Man, thank God, man, again, for you being here, man. We had shut down and started back up at that craze. That's how that spirit be. Nobody know which way it's going to go. Come from you on top of it. Just stay open. Man, you make it to where people can't make excuses. You can't say you can't go on. Because of people like you, people. My leg might be hurting a little bit. I still got to keep going. Because that's what you told me. You that's what Booby Black told you. Yeah, you still do you.  That's hard, man. Check it, man. Hey, man, thank you for coming on the show. Bostock 101.  But a boss is told. Man, check it, man. Another great segment of Bostock 101. And we have.


So my parley was so close to hitting last night we had it boosted. The amount of men in my DMs asking me to show my feet to them in some sort of photo or video form as some sort of a men's retribution or reparation for said parley not working out is truly staggering and on that note we turn to the NFL big day. Where does Odell Beckham Jr go? We'll talk about that. We've got what a special day in the league. Walter Payton, man of the year nominations are out ahead of full cry. Looking at some of the amazing truly incredible work that the social media teams are putting out across the league highlighting good stuff that's happening in those buildings and in the communities. We've got my week 13 under reactions on the show and we're still trying to figure out how Brady pulled off that NFL record 44th career fourth quarter comeback last night. Let's go feet growth. Well, first of all, it's impossible not to love. Love, love, love, love, love. Devin White, we love him and it's impossible not to be impressed with what those bucks did last night down 13 points. They had three minutes to go and they put together. It's like a trite. I say it too often with Tom Brady under center and miraculous comeback for whatever team he's helming at said moment capped by this. This Rashad White touchdown. Oh my gosh, three seconds to go, three seconds to go. And every time anybody feels like this team doesn't have it this year and everybody's like, oh, I'm giving up on the bucks. I'm throwing the towel. Tom Brady comes up with something like this and reels me and you back in. And yes, we can try to put some blame on the plate of one Dennis Allen, maybe potentially even the Saints as a whole and nitpick them apart this morning. But this game was so much more about Tom Brady being a legend. And this bucks offense rising to the occasion. Then it was about the Saints blowing it. He does this to everyone. And this is exactly why I was so upset that Todd Bowles played for overtime in that game against the Browns last week. I don't care how, but like, hello, you have Tom Brady. I was screaming it from the seat here. I don't care how bad the offense is struggling throughout the game. Tom is a different dude in that clock is ticking the down and the game is on the line. He just is. And the bucks as we look at things like we like to they are now a half a game and a half a game and a half up on the Falcons in the NFC south at six and six and they still have pretty clear issues that they got to work out or solve or tweak offensively with the offensive line. And, you know, just their overall lack of rhythm for long stretches in these games that we're seeing were kind of like, huh, like what was that first half? You really couldn't couldn't couldn't. Our human Mike Evans fighting like what's happening with those two. We'll get into that on my Oprah episode later in the week. But come on. Despite all of that, they're scrappy. They keep clawing. And as long as Tom Brady is in the NFC playoff picture, no one's safe. No one's feeling comfortable. And they've got a big one this week in Santa Clara against the Niners who number one ranked defense. Are we going to see pouty pouty Brady getting his block knocked off by Joey by Nick Bosa three times. Adding to that 14 and a half sack total. We'll see. Hit me up up and Adam show. Okay, I'm just going to be like the feet thing is it's staying with you.  I have no problem with it or walking around DMing people about their feet and like it's nothing. We need to talk to them. I'm okay. But I'm just saying like someone know, I'm telling you the amount the volume of incoming DMs I get about feet makes me so sure that we all know someone. There's someone here in our up and Adam's family. And there's a feet person. Can we plan to buy him as a Brian? My whole control room is dying. Brian, but I didn't say just men. Marissa, it could be you. It's somebody. It's somebody in our, listen, the numbers are clear. This is a statistical thing. I'm a numbers gal. Maybe we'll ask Sam Monson about it in our PFF weekly segment about guys.  Excuse me, but then I think if this doesn't go well, my parlies, parlays keep not working like feetfinder.com might be where I'm working in a year. So I shouldn't be talking trash about any of that. All right. I think we're underreacting to people who are passionate about feet and we're underreacting to things across the league right now. So let's get into it. The family text chain is insane right now. Okay, we're underreacting to the Lions and this run that they're on right now. Yes, the Lions were starting our show with it. They've won for their last five. They're climbing right back into the thick of the NFC playoff race. Let me see this year. Yeah, look, there are two games back of Seattle for the final Wild Cards spot in the NFC. They're playing their best football at the perfect time. The Lions have the third best record on the NFL of the last five. They're fourth offensively, fourth, you guys. And the most shocking out of all of this, they've allowed the sixth fewest points per game in the league over that span. This defense was historically terrible early this year, but you got to give credit to Aaron Glenn, their DC, and they figured it out completely. But I don't know why I'm telling you even anything. You can just listen to the vocal stylings of their head coach. That's the best game we've played all year, Joe. That's the best game. We are playing our best football right now. It's five weeks in a row now. We're playing our best football and we're in December. That's a credit to you guys. I know what we are, man. I know what we are. You should know what you are. We talked about the skilled players. You had to own it today, man. You had to rise up receivers and DVDs. Throughout that quarterback, no one talks about Jared Goff. He's been forgotten since that trade. But he deserves some credit. I'm glad Dan Campbell gave it to him there. I love that locker room. He had to watch Matthew Stafford take over his team. Those are his ramps, and he took them and won a Super Bowl Lester. That couldn't have felt good. And now he's having a moment in Detroit. You love to see it. Hard not to root for it. In the last five games, he has the third best record in the league. Hello, he's top ten in passing yards and passing rating. However, this season ends up. You can see him building confidence, gaining with each passing week. And the guys on the team are really rallying around him. It's good to see. This team is building something special. Edmund Fox, Foxy over at the McAfee Show says, brand new lions, not the same old lions. It's true. And I hope we're screaming it from the rooftops. And I think soon everyone should.  They feel different. They look different. I was looking at the Fandals Mournsfolk yesterday. They're favored over the Vikings. I'm sorry. In some big way. It's interesting. So that being said, if the Lions can find a way to beat the Vikings who are ten and two this weekend, then you start enjoying and welcoming and embracing a playoff possibility. It starts to become less of a pipe dream and more of a reality. And I don't think anyone will be under-acting to these brand new lions, Edmund Foxy, after that. Okay, let's move on here. I think we're under-acting to the greatness that is Devonte Adams. And if you don't watch Red Zone and you're just watching your team and you're missing this, let me fill you in because just like the Lions, the Raiders, they're getting right back into the thick of the race. Take a look. They've won three straight. There are two games back at the Jets for a wild card spot. And they've gotten back into that playoff hunt on the back of their wide receiver. He's really feeling himself too, but he's going scorched earth on everyone leading the league in every receiving category, averaging almost 30 yards a game more. 30 yards a game more than the next closest guy, Justin Jefferson. And if these numbers aren't impressive enough, and they are, and they are, consider the fact that he has faced the Broncos number three ranked past defense and the Colts number four ranked past defense in that span. Those are two stifling past defenses. And the scariest part is that he really is only getting better and more in sync as weeks go on. And on Sunday against the Chargers, what a game. 177 yards, two touchdowns. Love this first touchdown. Oh, see, yes, see, yes, see. And you know I love the Chargers. I don't love to see this, but Adams is related to me.  What he does to a Sante Samuel Jr. here, it's just unfair. What are you supposed to do if you're a Sante Samuel? Nothing. And Christian Watson has a place in our show a little bit later, so stay tuned for that. But it's got to have the Packers feeling a kind of way right now, too, with just how dominant of a player he is. And with the level that Devante is on, and then you look at the run game and Josh Jacobs running wild as the NFL's leading rusher. Also, no one talks about that.  He had a three-sack game in that win as well. This isn't just a, oh, Vegas, kind of, sure. There's plenty of life in Vegas. And they're taking on the banged-up Super Bowl champs question mark. What? The Rams? The shell of the lifeless, soulless Rams that we saw. All season long injuries, of course, part of that. They have them on Thursday night football. Amazon Prime video, Devante. Devante and Jalen?  I am ready for that game, and I'm ready for them to be in the playoff picture. All right, we've got Darius Butler on the show. Listen, Darius, we got to get an exorcist. Someone to sage us. Darius, I'm quitting. Sports betting. I'm out. Don't do it. No, no. We're out. We're out. We're out. We're out. He is an F1 enthusiast, future member of the Ferrari team, and fellow loser with me. Come on to the Man-to-man podcast. Weekly guest here on the McAfee show. Darius, what up? What's happening, man? Those were some bad beats last night for both of us.   And I'm like, well, at this point, maybe I will have to do that. Try that. So you played nine years. I'm not worried about anybody trying to see these feet, but whatever you got to do for us, take one for the team, Kay.  What is that about?  Yeah. You know, for... Do you do that every morning?  Stay active. I certainly don't. I about walk out into my living room, sit and get my makeup done for me, and walk out the door and get in the car. I mean, maybe I should try that. Remember what I said, push-ups? Yeah. Push-ups. Go plants. Go plants, push-ups, pull-ups. Okay. I don't know.  Yeah, I see. That's what you're saying. All right, let's talk about this. Demoralizing is the word to use for these parlays of ours.  What... Donovan Smith, do you have something to say to him that holding car? I mean, unbelievable. You know what? When I saw the touchdown, the cannons went off. Like, I was so hyped. I didn't even see the flag sign. I was giving my phone, ready to tweet. Everybody has been talking trash. Yes. You know? I think I only hit one, maybe two this year. Oh. But I would have been the second and third. I would have been the second and third. I was so hyped. I was so beside myself. And then this needed flag. Oh, I know it's BS. Then I saw the replay. Definitely holding. Not even close. But for that to come back, that hurt. That was a fake to the heart right there. It was holding. I guess it's football. It was bad holding. Where do I go from here? Because you're saying you've hit... I have not yet hit a parlay. Granted, I started last week four or five, but where do I go from here? You go to your next one. You know what? Swing for the fancy a little more. You know, that was... It was plus 25 in the booze. Yeah. I mean, it was... You had Olave, Goblin and Evans. 125 to touchdown. I felt like that was a lot. But swing for the fence a little bit. Maybe a plus 600. You only got to hit one. You hit one and it makes up all those Ls. To just get up to the plate, keep swinging. Who's the Bucks player that caught that type? Offer? What is his name? What? Aten? Aten. So my next time I'll say Aten. 250 plus receiving yards and seven touchdowns. And hopefully I win. He's out there throwing the ball to Aten. Tom Brady, thank you. Speaking of Tom, we have vintage Tom. Vintage Tom. Oh, yeah. The last drive. And everybody knew it. I'm sitting at home. I don't know what's about to happen. If you're trying to defend against a Tom Brady in a two-minute drill, no matter what team he's got, is there anything you can even do? I mean, the Saints, I mean, they have had a lot of success against them, but they kept showing them, you know, the same looks. And eventually, obviously, he's going to figure it out. And they weren't playing great at all. The Bucks looked terrible until obviously they needed it. And the Saints definitely did as much as they could to help them out late as well. But Tom, you know, it's just about his team. That sideline never feels like they're out of it when you have 12 out there as your quarterback. And then defensively, it's kind of like, ah, we got to make a stop. In every play, you don't make a stop. You don't get off the field. You start getting a little more pressure as a defensive player, as a defensive player. And he's been in that situation so much. That's crazy. That's the latest go-ahead touchdown he's thrown in his career. Crazy. You know, 44 fourth quarter comebacks. Now it's like inevitable at this point. But it was wild, wild to see that happen last night. Three seconds left on the clock. And I don't think anyone in the NFC is safe if they remain inside the playoff picture because they'll get hot and they'll get it going. Now, Tom Brady, a lot of rumors about how he might be going to San Francisco next year. Jimmy G, of course, out for this year with a foot injury. Are we on the Brock Purdy train? Am I rooting for him? Or do you think that this Baker Mayfield to the Niners thing makes too much sense? Ooh, no. I mean, I root for everybody. You know, it would be an amazing story. I think he's already the first and only mystery relevant to throw a touchdown pass. And then he got to win against my Dolphins, unfortunately. But he looked good. He looked good. And obviously that defense is going to keep him in great situations where he won't have to go out there and score, you know, 38 points a game. He looked great, actually, for him to get in there without preparation for a week. But, you know, as defenses and teams to get more of a book on Brock Purdy is going to be tough for him to be successful. But they did a great job acquiring weapons. Kristen McCaffrey, obviously, Bebo's back, healthy, Kittle, Jennings. IU, like, just so many weapons. So he's in the best situation you could be in as a young quarterback. I don't know. I can't. We're talking Niners. We can't get away with that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't answer your question about the Bakerfield. That's a no to Baker Mayfield. I can't. It's implied. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see if he ends up somewhere as a backup, though. We have to talk about the Dolphins, obviously, because they caught an L2 said Niners last week. I felt so dumb. I felt like such a five-year-old, because I wasn't watching every play, but I flipped it, or maybe it was Red Zone, and I saw just, you know, really early in the game. I don't know if it was the first player or not. The Tua, and then it goes. Yeah. First offensive play. MVP! Like, I'm all, like, Dolphin emojis. Like, out my eyes. Like, insane. And then he had some, I mean, that touchdown to Tyreek was really beautiful. Yeah. And then there were ups and downs and bad mistakes made.  Is there anything actually wrong in your eyes, or did they just take another number 1-D? You know what? It was the number 1 defense, and obviously, you know, they were banged up at offensive tackle, so hopefully we got to get, you know, you got to get Jackson and Armstead back as soon as possible. But great things were not facing Nick Bolshere every week. Three sacks, one strip sack. But Tua just looked off, especially early on. Like, the first half, obviously, you had the first player, Sherfield, for that 75-yard touchdown. But after that, he was missing throws. We've seen him hit all year. And he was just high on everything. Kind of calmed down late on the Mason plays, but we just got too far behind. And like you said, we're not going to be facing the top defense every year. But I think Tua, you know, he'll pick it up and he'll be right back kind of in that MVP race at this point. But I think right now, it's Jalen Hurts. I think he jumped back up to the top of that little board of his performance this Sunday. And the homers would have stayed there, but they, of course, lost the Bengals. Before we get to Shutdown City, dearest, we've got to talk because the absolute disrespect that has been given by wide receivers to some corners this week, you know, we really need to fix this and take a look. Let's take a look at some tape here. AJ Brown. AJ Brown revenge game of his life against his old team. The Titans on Sunday, two touchdowns, or 119 receiving yards. Look at this one touchdown, though. Where did Christian Fullen go?  They try to run around you. But AJ Brown, AKA Swole Batman just decided, you know, I'm going to run right through him. And I think Christian Fullen, I know Christian Fullen made it 10 times worse just laying there on the ground. Like, you can't do that. Let him catch the touchdown. And AJ Brown's probably looking back like, I hope they don't call offensive passing appearance here. But yeah, very, very disrespectful right there by AJ Brown. But he told him he had to punish his old team. What are you thinking? Whoop them on the goal post and then told him he still loved them. If you're Fulton and you get bulldozed like that, what are you thinking? I'm thinking, let me get up as fast as possible. Number one, that's that, look, players, DB's, linebackers, Dela, I don't care who it is. You get slipped arm, you get ran over, you get shook, whatever it is.   Let them focus on the touchdown and the celebration and all that stuff. They don't want to remember that. They never even talk about defenders half the time. But don't lay there because now they're going to go back and go to replay. Hey, did he hurt something? Did he roll an ankle? No, just get up, bro. And figure out on the sideline. DK Metcalf and Jaylin Ramsey, I love them together. They've had their battles in the past. This time, DK brought that smoke though. He was very confident, so confident that he waved Jaylin to come over and follow him one on one later. DK copied David and touched down. What do you make of this? I mean, DK knew he wasn't going with them. That's why they're aligning to the right side and motion them across. But DK Metcalf did catch a big touchdown against Jaylin Ramsey late in that game. That's what you love to see. You will see Ramsey and Devonte added a lead soon coming. But you love to see those top dog and top dog matchups. And you like to see that little banter.  So you definitely love to see that trash talk, especially the trash talk that everyone at home can see as well. And that's never happened to you though. No receivers ever told you that? Probably, I'm sure. You know, a lot of receivers do that and he didn't go over there running around and actually catch the ball. A lot of receivers do that when they're not even getting the ball. They talk trash. Man, that was cute, DK. That was cute, I guess. But he showed up. He made the touchdown and he got the win. So, you know, 14 showed up. I loved it. I loved it for him. I'm still all about the Seahawks. I'm so for it. And I'm so for it. Probably Wagner had his revenge game. It genome, man, yeah. As well, it was a thing of beauty to see. And yes, it is Jaylin and Devonte Adams tomorrow night on Thursday night football. So that'll be a thing of beauty, of course. I don't think Devonte Adams is getting enough love. Okay, and then there's this. Balling right now. Mm-hmm. Jamar Chase. Justin Reed. A luxurious lead after a T. Higgins touchdown.   That's just as good as you score.  Now, I got a little beef with Justin Reed here because you giving all these receivers this great wide receiving for all this bullet to more material. You getting them all gassed up. And as a safety, you're not going to be guarding these dudes. The corners are. They got to deal with that heat out there in the field.  You know, he's been banged up for the last few weeks. T. Higgins has kind of been carrying that wide receiver one low and he showed up made plays. Joe Burl, you've been talking about these bangles all year. 3-0 against the Chiefs now. Hey, that's they might. Hey, scary squad right now. Scary squad. But yeah, I got beef with Justin Reed here. Love him as a player. I love him as a player.  Well, here's the thing. Don't get Jamar Chase fired up for us. So he was, he was, he was trying to say Hayden Hearst to wears A-D-8, of course, that he's more of a finesse guy, whatever. Hayden Hearst leaves the game and is hurt. And this is where my, like my thing is it happened, whatever. I was more mad at Jamar Chase. Like, don't use your bullet and board fuel against yourself and get a taunting penalty in the second. What are you doing? But then... Coach was upset about it. Yes, always very upset. You know what? I'm happy to see him have a shot of life in him, that coach on the sideline. Listen to me. This morning, Justin Reed doubles down and tweets this. Unpopular opinion. We lost, but I was still right. Cryerite. What is he right about? What is he saying? I mean, Andy Reed said that Justin Reed is new to the team and he still doesn't necessarily understand how to do things around it. We haven't really seen this from chiefs players. Like, it's not really how they operate. So I'm never a fan of...  So I think this is one of those situations right here. Obviously we're in a different point of time with social media, but not a fan of the tweet, especially after a loss. But once again, fan of the team is definitely a fan of Reed, too. Teres, you go, I had a coach once, Belichick. Like, it was if I would never hear of him. I've had a lot of coaches, but, you know, obviously at the top of that list. Okay, so Corners had a bad beat this week. That's what it is. They need to pick me up after a weekend full of disrespect. So let's give them... Let's give them some advice. Can you give me a... How would you... If you're Jaylen, how are you handling Adams who doesn't really talk to them? But Adams has swat... He's really feeling himself. You can tell right now. But what are you going to say to the safeties, and then the Corners in having to deal with some of these wide receivers? You know, I'm not much of a pep talk guy. You know, okay? We know these matchups, especially Jaylen. Jaylen knows what he's getting into with Devontae. They've had some great matchups already. And Jaylen's not having a great year this year. Obviously a great player. Devontae Adams, he is... He started off slow, went through a little phase there where, hey, is Derek Hart throwing in the ball? But ever since that Derek Carr cry press conference, I believe the Raiders are undefeated right now. Devontae's got his best friend back.  I'm excited to watch this one. You know, Jaylen is an all-time competitor and so is Devontae. So whenever once again you see big ol' big, I'm going to be tuned in for this matchup. But DB's across the league, man. It's got to be our week, man. Passing game has been there all year. Let's step it back up, make some big-time plays, and hopefully get yourself in the shutdown city next week. That's it. Let's take it to the streets of shutdown city. What do you got? Ooh, let's do it. Let's take it to the streets. Let's take it to the streets. So a recurring member, recurring member resident of shutdown city, Tariq Wolland. I saw you tweet the bottom all Sunday. Big-time player, obviously big, fast. Coming to the league as a rookie player at the all-pro level. Got another pick. Leased the league in interceptions this year with six as a rookie. Next, now let's talk about disrespect. This disrespect will beat down in my coach. Deron Bland. Two interceptions. I thought the TV was on. Rewind when I was watching this. Two interceptions off Maddie Ice. And it's primetime beat down. Got his flexed out of our next primetime games. Thanks, Deron. So he's, I think this is his first time in shutdown city. So welcome to sixth to shutdown city, baby. And his teammate, when you put up 54, I don't know how many fantasy points this defense scored, but Malik Hooker, once again, had his revenge game, a former first round pick of the Indianapolis coach. He had a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Had an interception and he almost ran back for a touchdown. Just overall great game. And that's my young guy too. That's my guy. I got drafted as a rookie when I was in the coach to replace me. So I'm glad he's doing a great job in balling out there in Dallas. Man, so shout out to Malik Hooker, who was the mayor this week of shutdown city. Malik Hooker is the mayor. We gave him a love on Monday for that. You were in a mood today, butler. Too much coffee? I got my juice. You know, I didn't know I was coming on and I was like, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna stuff wrong and I wound up. I like it when you're insane right now. I'm gonna. Okay. Next time you come on next week, I will do push-ups. That's a bet. I think I can do two. We gotta stick to it. That's a bet. Fandal Sportsbook. Bet the under on two push-ups. Hey, you start with two. Just next week, four, six. It's all about progress. Just keep making those bets. That's right. Church of Darius Butler. We love you. You can catch him on the Pat McAvie show and the Man to Man podcast. And we will see him as a pep talk guy. We've got more to come here on the show. Mark Ingram usually joins us. He played it last night. Unfortunate loss and injury. So sending him all the best this morning. Maybe he's watching and we will get into some other story lines. Oh, well, yeah. Could you throw it to Evans, Tom? Three in a row. Let's keep the ball moving. Let's get it. Six, six. As I look, this game we played all year, Joe. Any time you get to 10 wins in this league, you give it up for yourself. Got a long way to go here and we still got everything in front of us. Winning is fun. Let's keep this thing going. What do we say, Dolph? They got a player! Keep the most important thing, the most important thing. Bikes on three. One, two, three. Bikes! They got a player! Love that. Time to hit the lights where we highlight an unheralded player. Not really unheralded, but just somebody that deserves some love. We put him under the bright lights and yeah, let's do it here. And we've got Christian Watson, guys. Amazing, brilliant. Again on Sunday in Chicago, he sparked the Packers to break out of a 16-3 hole and it started with this play. Incredible grab. Let's take a look. In the Enza. Oh my gosh. Here's Erin. In Chicago, he owns it and he does with his rookie. Wow. That's the end of the first half. It brought the Packers back to within one score and it ended with a brilliant, I should say, 46-yard run on an end-around to drive one final wooden stake through this bearish fan's heart. So it's been incredible. Last four weeks, if you look at this, Christian Watson leads the entire league with eight total touchdowns, okay? Yeah, even more than Devonta Adams and Devonta Adams has been an absolute chair. So it's not just about what Watson's doing. It's about where he came from, too. He missed all of training camp. Let's not forget due to injuries and he had some rather nightmarish starts to the season with drops and things that people like to keep playing and there were some bad moments to start, but it finally has happened because he was on the football floor, ran through it after the game and he was beaming about his receiver's ability to fight through adversity, so Tickle sent to this. To go out week one, you get an opportunity on the first play from Scrimmage and makes a great move and is a sure touchdown. He drops the ball and then you think back to the Dallas game, you know, the first two passes of the game, he drops. It's just, it's so cool to see guys in these moments. The play where he scored his first touchdown, you could just see it click and the bright lights and the stars and the, oh, this is what I want to do, this is what I want to be and Aaron Rodgers is helping him do that. We gave a lot of love to Devonte Adams earlier in the show, but I love seeing this for Watson and yes, it might be too late to save the Packers season, but you know, it might be good enough to see that they have an emerging star and that might be enough, rather, to convince a guy like Aaron Rodgers that maybe it's worth sticking around in Green Bay just a little bit longer. We've got more up in Adams on the way. Yeah, we're going to break out the coupon books because I owe you guys. Back on Up in Adams show, Matthew Hamilton is with us. Hamilton, you are being really conniving, I would say, really kind of mean to me on this show today and I want you to know that Marissa, Marissa said that she's done your birth chart and you are... Oh, God.  I let her and Taylor wrote me into... I don't know how they got this out of me. I gave them my birth time and day and all that and they're working some type of witchcraft. I don't know what's happening. Can you work the same witchcraft to fix me so I'm not looking here at the papers? All right, we've got three minutes left in the show. We're looking through some... Aldi? Anybody shop at Aldi? They don't give you plastic bags. You would have to find boxes to put your groceries in and me and my brother would take them and we would make forts at home, but they had all these... Nobody ever did that. If you shopped at Aldi and made forts out of the boxes that you stole or took from there, let me know. All right, we've got multi-colored peppers for sale for $2.49. That sounds good. This is why we do this because I know that everybody spent a couple bucks on my parlor last night. It didn't hit and we want to hook you guys up. So we found some deals to try to help you make up for that loss. We go... Listen, watching the game play out, I'm sure there were a lot of feelings running through your body. I think we can help with that, Hamilton. You can head over to CVS. CVS always has great deals, by the way. Maybe they should sponsor our show. All right. Naja Heartburn Indigestion. Everybody knows Upset Stomach Diarrhea. I mean, Marissa's doing the dance here in the studio. It is Relief with Epitobismal, a twin pack. A twin pack. One from Darius Butler. One from me, just $14.79. And you buy one, you get one 50% off. So that's four bottles. I think that'll cover it. I probably needed an entire one after that Godwin touchdown guy called that. Okay, can I just say something? The whole bit is supposed to be me cutting coupons. Do ads not have coupons anymore? There's no more coupons? Are coupons not a thing anymore? First the VCR, now coupons? I still get those CVS coupons.  I'm just supposed to... Oh, Laze. I need those. We all know I ate a whole thing of Laze yesterday. $199 at Super King. It's the holiday season. Just because you listened to me, your pets shouldn't have to suffer. That's really the headline here. Get them the warmth they truly deserve. Target has dog and cat hoodies for 30% off. They're only $7. Let it snow hoodies for your dog. If I tried to get one of those for a dollar and put it on her, I'd probably be scratched to death. Oh, well then I think I'm going to send one year away. Oh, thank you. Yeah. And I know... I appreciate it. Just a few seconds. I know you want to join the neighborhood and decorate your front lawn this winter. Here's a deal that should help. Go to Lowe's and for $20.68, $20.68, you can have this four-foot-tall inflatable gingerbread man. It even has the energy-efficient LED light. Front lawn. That's going to right in the middle of my living room. I'm all in. Is it... There's just no coupons anymore. I wanted to do a bit with coupons. They're all digit... But not everything's digital, because then they wouldn't print these inserts. What do we even... It's a good point. Remember those little coupon folders that all of our parents used to cite in the this and that and here's the canned goods and whatever? Conrad is not happy with today's show. You know what? I had a good time. So we'll see you guys tomorrow on Up in Addams. Taylor Luan, Thursday? Yup. Thursday. Brian, she's here on the show tomorrow.
