I don't want to tell story. But here's the thing Um, you can't have a girl you can't have a your mom praying for her and and and you know Act like you don't like her after the fact Women get used to that man. I never liked it the girls I think they like only reason why I dealt with them because they like me Like I had never had control over if I if I really liked the girl I would go after these big girls like these movie stars everybody the girls everybody else like I'd never I didn't know none of these I just like I smashed them because they like me I never went after none of these girls I went I went after them. It was my choice. I would go after somebody that probably all like or whatever the case may be You know I'm saying like I never that's true. I went after a girl that I actually really like that's why he's so nasty That's true. I was just I think you do a lot of favors. I was doing favors back in the day some favors I've seen you. I've really seen you do some favors for you. They ain't no for me. Yes, it is a lie You I'll do a lot of favors for you. That's a lie. That's a lie. That's a lie.  Nope, it's not it's not it's not no big girl I don't even I race everything because carl will watch everything.  Let's talk a little basketball step curry, man Get a man Steph Curry is the leader of the baby game. Give it to him. Give it to him. Is there is has there ever been a light-skinned person that We as melanated men have rallied around like Steph Curry. I can't think of one, bro Oh Not cuz we all give it to him. Yeah. Yo, we're T. I. K. with trap music. We have to give it to him Yeah, yeah, yeah Drake Drake it you know I'm saying I respect Drake for what he's done I'm not like the biggest Drake fan. You know what I mean? I respect him for what he's done I respect his place in the beige brigade. You know what I mean? He's up there too. He's number two He's number two Ti number three ti ti ti definitely top five Ti definitely top. What about the slow slow glow guy that was in No, he wasn't light-skinned. No That wasn't light-skinned that jerry curl had everybody going crazy But Steph man Steph Curry has revolutionized the game of basketball And I saw Steven a this week Steven a was on first take talking about how you know Steph Curry could possibly You know Past LeBron as far as being the player of this generation Last year during cobin on the breakfast club. I asked even a that berry question And he based he said definitively He was like he respects Steph Curry everything he said definitively This is the LeBron James era But your brawn definitely had his time in his era So it's time to bring it on Steph's definitely young in LeBron Steph Curry has beaten LeBron James three times Yeah, he got it. Don't get me wrong when LeBron James came back, you know down seven games against that 73 win team That's one of the the greatest Not the greatest. That's why I say that's why you gotta give it to him, but Steph Curry still beat him three times in the finals Because you know, you know what Jordan had his era was a Jordan era This is the LeBron Steph Er, but it's but do you but no it's not just that it's the LeBron era. It's the Steph era It's the Katie era It's a lot of people that ate in LeBron so-called era dirt in the whiskey eight You know what I mean? It's a lot of different people and I'm not saying that LeBron clearly LeBron is you know One of the goals of this era, but it's a lot of other people who ate Within this era as well now what LeBron is head and shoulders above everybody else In his business acumen and marketing and promotion people love LeBron. It's not a better storyline There hasn't been a better storyline in the NBA than LeBron James You know, I mean from him coming into the league as the chosen one Over exceeding expectations. Yes, you know what I'm saying coming back and won the chip for his actual City leaving Cleveland to go to Miami with the decision Then going to Miami and you know team it up with the big three which also changed the league because then everybody Started to do that. Now. You don't think boston did it first with kg and island And Paris. Yeah, they did they did it first. They was the first cheaters, bro They did but it was just it was different about I don't think at that time and I could be wrong. Correct me I don't think at that time Ray Allen paupers and kg where they top We're all with all three of them in the top ten players top shooter I mean Ray Allen was a top shooter Paris was definitely slept on in kg. I was saying kg and paul might have been up there But I don't know if Ray Allen was considered top ten. That was that piece that you needed that was the steve kerr Is jordan. Yeah, you know I'm saying They were a big three. They definitely were but it was just something I mean at the time when they was well, maybe not. I don't know if chris boss was considered top 10 He wasn't definitely not over no kg Boss was a beast boss was a beast Before he cut his hair. He was a really monster, you know, I'm saying then he came over there and played his part It's all about really playing your part when you got a team I'm saying I'm gonna say that that added to the storyline the miami heat thing Then going back to cleveland like you said to win the championship Then you know went in the championship standing cleven a couple more years and going To la now went in the chip there like there's an even now like we're Right now lebron james, even though the leg is a losing that's still a storyline It is you know, I'm saying that's something for people to talk about all the time because you know We live in this era that loves trouble, you know, they should have been stepping up I'm not gonna Can't just blame it on one man, but bro. You supposed to be the man right now. This he got an injury or something I don't know. This supposed to be his team Like he the lake is supposed to be on effingy davis back and everybody around him is supposed to be complimentary Lebron supposed to be complimentary at exactly Um, you know russia westbrook should be complimentary at this point.  What ad mashed potatoes right now. He's supposed to be the steak I don't even know if he mashed potatoes broccoli I really don't I get what you're saying. He ain't there. He ain't there. He ain't showing up like he posed to He's broccoli. You know what i'm saying? He ain't showing up like he posed to but Lebron is Is marketed amazingly. He's promoted amazingly. Yes He has the best storyline in the nba. I'm coming up doing good Sun Sun, that's another storyline But man, I'm talking about when it comes to basketball to me When it comes to things i've never seen before and i'm 43 years old So, you know, I've seen jordan. I've seen the shacks. I've seen the kovies got blessed dead seen magic I didn't really see magic Now towards the end I did towards the end when because I remember and when him and jordan played in the finals together Remember when he you know came back in the all-star game after catching hiv and all that stuff like that, but Steph curry i've never seen anything like it ever and Two back-to-back mvps Three nba finals beat lebron three times in the nba finals greatest shooter of all time Just broke the three-point record probably gonna win another championship this year I say you probably wins a couple more before he retires this guy man Leader of the beige brigade. Yeah, it is Ray island. Uh, what's his name reggie miller? Like I used to be like scared. Yeah, I used to be scared when I see reggie miller I'm like he gonna make it but the confidence that I have about steph right now.   It's I you know what I wish you know what I wish we could have a count of I wish we could see how many times from the very first time remember his daddy's del curry. Yes Legendary shot shooter himself in the nba charlotte hornets all day So I I want to know how many jump shots his step curry taken in his life Before millions when he was a kid I'm talking about even with the little nerf ball You know what I'm saying when daddy was like I want to know how many times has he just shot a shot Because it's just such a rhythm that you can only get when your daddy is one of one of the greatest Well, that's what you're doing. That's all you do. That's all he does man And it makes me even think about like what's that next generation going to be like the fact he named his son canon And you imagine if canon curry is a better shooter than stuff or he might be out there with a gun You know how the easy with that day Like what could you do?  Oh, you're through the roof that that that market. Yeah, all that promotion. We talking about He's out of here. Yes. He's out of here. He's out of here. So salute to step curry leader of the beige brigade I'm really trying to put together my top five, you know, beige leaders of this generation leaders of the life skin Definitely drakes on there step curry is number one. I gotta put step number one And you know, a lot of people might argue drape will keep in mind that drake has a step curry tattoo So that says a lot You know what I mean Ti is always going to be one of the leaders of the life skin. Who else is life skin envy I can't put envy on them for the first five. I just can't Can I know him?  You know what I'm saying? I don't know if I put Obama on there either Obama lifetime.  I don't know if I put old mom on there. J. Cole. I think J. Cole should go on there J. Cole life skin. You don't think J. Cole should be top five? J.  Amen There's a difference really a difference. I don't care what y'all say But what you what you think? All right, so instead of well done They are a medium well You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I see a little pink too much pink.

It's a new mountain spring water brand called liquid death I see liquid death trucks everywhere now by the way I don't know if it's because you know, they sponsor brilliant idiots So I'm very familiar with them, but I see their ads at least the trucks everywhere So clearly people are drinking liquid death now. Why is this water called liquid death? Well, because it will brutally murder your thirst and their infinitely recyclable tall boy cans are helping to bring death The plastic bottles they also donate 10% of the profits from every can sold to help kill plastic pollution plastic isn't actually recyclable anymore In fact, most plastic you throw in a recycling bin actually just gets sent to a landfill because it's not profitable to recycle Aluminum is infinitely recyclable and actually profitable for recycling facilities now. I like liquid death um because To the point of having that tall can in your hand. Um, I don't know if y'all notice, but when I drink water, I ferociously Squeeze the bottle I noticed I know that y'all notice because y'all say that all the time on you know, youtube comments and everything else I don't feel the need to do that with an aluminum can With a plastic bottle I do with an aluminum can I don't so for me I enjoy, you know drinking out of the aluminum can because it keeps me from just squeezing the goddamn can and it might Be even I don't know why I squeeze the bottle.

All right. All right now um Last week I sat down with uh travis scott Got it got a call uh Uh not last weekend whatever weekend that was the weekend before we did the interview And they was like, you know travis scott Wanted to just want to sit down and have a conversation So I never met travis scott in my life never had a conversation with him ever You know, so, you know the fact that he said you wanted to sit down with me Hey, great, you know when they want to do it It was like yo ASAP And so we flew out that was that was a saturday flew out there on a tuesday And sat down with him, you know, um, haven't really watched haven't really looked at too many, you know Reviews of the conversation because I think conversations like that It's bigger than reviews and um, I I hate that we live in an era where Somebody can be going through something Right a lot of different people going through something right because it's not just the families It's not just the people who lost their life. It's not just the families Of the loved ones of of the love it's not just the families of the people who lost their life It's people like travis too. So it's everybody.  He's going through it.  You got you got death on your hands You know how the people's feel and all that type of stuff, but you know, I know not to like I look I viewed him to be somebody totally different only because of what people were saying Like I really have to meet people man All that listening with other people saying stuff like that man.  You know, I mean then that two hours. I was just like Man, this is a lot for that for for that young brother to be caring, you know I mean, but like I told him in the interview is nothing he could say That is going to bring healing To those families like those families don't want to hear that right now. Nothing dude. We got a death in Mike I don't care at all.  Like I you would never want anything like that to happen. Yeah, the opposite happened That's the thing for me. It's like We acting like this was purposeful Sometimes people like I watched the way the media reacts and everything they're acting like this was his fault intentional now You know has he been arrested for inciting a ride and stuff before? Yes you know what I mean The energy of his music did it we had this conversation during the interview too Did it set the tone for people to come out there and while out and stuff? Sure, but did in that moment did he get on that stage and do all of that? No Yeah, so, you know, I mean, um I think in a so many songs that do that though all the time people man. What I grew up on crunk.  I got killed in the process of people popping pussy But you don't really want them to do that though.  You know what I'm saying I do know that if somebody was on that stage and they were singing pop that pussy They wouldn't be getting blamed You know what I mean at at at at astral world because the crazy part is this man And I keep saying this over and over you can't control human behavior Yes, so it's like even I saw something this week where like somebody was getting Syringes stabbed in their butt at a wow at a concert here in new york. Easy. I mean, was it new york? I don't know if it was new york. What's the sleepy hollow? That's the rabbit's name sleepy hollow It's a few people getting stabbed in his butt.   You got that's what I'm trying to say with the lyrics You cannot go off all the lyrics that people are saying But yo, do you think that pop of molly and all these molly songs and stuff? They want the kids and stuff to do that They don't want these people to stab people with syringes. No, okay That's a good point whether they want want want them to do it or not. It's still influence You know what I'm saying, but then a lot of these artists can say look It's just performance art art, you know what I mean?  You can traumatize people Like there's a lot of different have people want to fight you have people want to fight you You know what I mean? There's a lot of different things you can do with your words, man So it's like I don't I can't I can't go with that. It's just entertainment excuse also too when I was a kid once And I'm all that should influence me growing up. Uh-huh beans.  Who be any seagull.  Yes being these styles and whole so I mean Over had me fucked up in a good way in a good way though I mean be any had me fucked up in a in a bad way So I needed beans because I was in that world and he helped me get through that world because I was already in it One thing I always like about being in styles though They always talk all of them be style they hope they always talked about the consequences of the game That's why I was that's what was that's what's missing from This era nobody's talking about the consequences of the game. You know what I mean y'all talking to me about all this drug use But not talking about how mother fuckers is really And having to go to rehab and having overdosed not talk to me about that Side of the game, you know what I mean because we lost a lot from that too Yes, man I was reading something today about edm contrast and all the overdoses that happen at edm concerts You know what I'm saying? So it's like yo Tell me about some of these consequences And man, it's just sad when you look at the situation like astral world because I truly do feel like It's like anything else travis Didn't want that to happen You want people to come to this show and have a good time rage coaches are real coaches Just like krunk was a real culture plus rage comes from rock and roll Rage comes from rock and roll and heavy metal the mosh pits and all that I know used to be crazy back in the day By the way, this happened at rock festivals before It happened at a pro jam concert. It happened at a metallica concert. It happened at woodstock before You know, I mean it happened with the who by the way, I never heard none of these motherfuckers music But it's happened to these it's happened to these concerts But did they get the same backlash that travis got? I wasn't around then but I don't think so We can't hear you tell you I get on the mic. Do I what I don't think you should stop his craft. No I'm saying he went through something.   You could you could try No What are you talking about, man? What are you talking about? You said he should he still perform performing I don't know but I do know this get back on the horse bro. We fall. I think all of these And I think all of these festivals are making a grave mistake by doing that because we're number one if I was travis's team I wouldn't let him If I was travis's team, I'd have pulled him from all these festivals before he got cancelled But that would just be to me. That would have just been the right thing to responsible thing You know, I mean that would have been the responsible thing to do like just if I'm travis and I'm his team I would have just pulled away from all of these festivals Like for the foreseeable future, but also I think that these festivals are making a mistake because This can happen again. Yes, it's happened before And it can happen again when you're dealing with these large crowds of people 50 000 and 75 000 to 100 000 people You're relying on human behavior to keep everybody safe Do we realize it's human beings forget forget just those large crowds Us four in this room right now are relying on us to keep each other safe. What have you snapped? What if Taylor snaps and happened before we've been in this room with people we thought we trusted they snapped Yeah, no really literally literally snapped Yes, it attacked. Yes, you know what I'm saying? We have to rely on each other to make sure we do the right things Yes, we're all as human beings relying on each other There's no there's technically no place you go that safe if you're around random strangers There's people that you don't know And even when you know them because you don't know what they're going through No, literally like god bless the dead think about all these cases about You need these people these football players that we're hearing about with cte And they end up snapping I just seen a video.  I don't understand the logic I don't understand the logic. I don't understand the logic. God bless that brother.  I just think that if I saw that video in the first thing I thought was Well, where the kids gonna go now Everybody dead that's what I'm saying if you if you if you love the kids And this is about the kids and not being able to see your kids What what happens to the kids now and I need a part of the system And and his girl was traumatized too. Yeah, man, like I don't know. I mean, oh what that kid is gone. So I guess the Other kid. I'm not judging.  You're weak I don't know what internal issues get get somebody to that point, man but that's That's snap snap like that's that's bigger than snap. I saw that I was like the first thing First thing I said was why y'all send me this number two. I said, is this real? Because I couldn't believe it was real.  I was like, is it real for real too? Oh my god, man First in peace to all of those people involved in that tragic situation definitely sending all the families healing energy I don't wish that on nobody man, but you know Just go watch the Travis Scott interview us on youtube my like like I said my personal opinion is just like You know, I don't know how one person gets blamed for that whole tragedy And boy, it's got to be really really hard to really be going through something like that in this Era man. So who so who could charge you remember the guy that was shooting in vegas The guy hanging out the window. Yes. Yeah, who got charged for that. I mean who whose fault was that? Well, if there was a rapper on stage and that rapper was a rapper that rapped about violence And then he probably if you know, they didn't rap about violence. They probably would get to blame for it They love that I'm telling you man. Listen, they love Inditing hip-hop.  Yes and hitting people up. Let that have been a rap show That's what I'm trying to say. That would have been a rap show. They'd have been blaming the music man I'm telling you they would have made the connection between guns and you know The gun violence and the stuff rappers rap about I'm telling you they would have made that connection They didn't on seeing that with travis when beat that was on travis That's one of the first things the anchors did they they put up all the times. He's you know, I guess Been arrested for inciting a riot and they was quoting his lyrics Like yo, I don't I don't see that with nor the genre. No, they only do that with us No, what song was playing when the guy was shooting in? You know, I'm saying Like it was out of control. It's kind of crazy. But who festival was it? Was it uh No, it was a country festival. That was before it was a country festival I don't know man. I just wanted to give more people grace, man. Simply this simply because yo all of us Make mistakes and I wouldn't wish none of that on my worst enemy I wouldn't wish what's going on with travis scott on my worst enemy number one because I wouldn't want to see nine people Get killed at a concert anything that we do nine people get killed anywhere anything We're relying on human behavior literally like literally if I was when we walk outside this building today We just hoping everybody cool. That's it I had a motherfucker in my truck.   I'm the whole perimeter of my house get checked Everything get checked my everything is locked down. You see what I got in my house. That's precious to me That's that is my heart outside of my chest. So it's like I can't play around with this If I lose this, this is it. I don't trust nobody. Yo, think about think about how spooky it is in life That we drop our kids off to school Think about that. No for real. We rely man relying on Some and some and in some cases people we never met I Don't want to talk about that.  Yes They say it was the pilot's birthday And the pilot was standing by the bathroom.  That's it. It's so many people That's right. It's so many people we take for granted. We take for granted our teachers Yep public school teachers. We drop our kids off the public school teachers every year them a christmas present with our kids Yes, when have you ever said hi to your kids teacher like hello had a conversation Are the pilots of planes These restaurants, yes, man talk to the chef man Give them something. Oh, how you doing, sir.  That's why I don't understand your room, motherfucker I don't understand room motherfuckers.  You do not know. Don't be like that, man Y'all, I hope I was inside the restaurant and put my meat on the forks and stuff The only bad people I think god sent them people there at that time of the era in my life There you go, so they can get the silverware. There's my meat on it. You're just trying to justify some bullshits I am okay. You put you put your you put your Yo, yo the utensils on your meat because you like the feeling of that. No, that's not true I really did not want to be that I said my mom It's a couple of jobs. We could have went to I end up going to the car a lot But it was a couple of jobs. You're like you're getting this job You get 30 days and you get the you get the work for 30 days and then you get to quit I said, all right It was a restaurant. I said, man, I don't want to work at a restaurant I had to sit back there and wash the dishes and mop the floor Man, why would you sit on plates?  This is out of control.  No, you lie.  He walked out the right No, it was I what was that at right there on the assembly assembly street assembly street So good so much love when we going there and he walking out on the bill It wasn't that man. I wasn't going to be the last motherfucker out. I never did that No, oh no, I did one time It was that time I the one who got caught and I went to the bathroom first Everybody was gone. It was like, sir. Everybody said it was me and I'm like I didn't have all that motherfucking money for all them people. Hell.  Yeah, I mean, yeah, that was all the motherfuckers the bill wasn't as crazy now that when I think about it now I'm like, and sometimes it'll be like a hundred and eighty six Back then like a lot of money. Yeah, you know, but Now it ain't it ain't too crazy.  This is from like 2010 Maybe 2009. I don't remember dev was like It's me texting her like y'all I'm out She's like why I'm like leaving before the bill comes So clearly I did it I did it before clearly I did it before uh, let's pay some bills man. What time are we at? Taylor?

Give us some asking idiots, man So we can get the duck out of hell So we got a long not a long day. Got some things to do We had to give y'all the episode this week, man. I didn't want to I was thinking I was I was like, you know Should we then I was like, I don't know if we're gonna be here next week. So let's come in and talk to our people Mm-hmm I never celebrated Christmas. I grew up the whole witness But I never had a Christmas. I didn't have Christmas until I got older and became an adult and had my own family And now we got our own Christmas traditions, but I've never been the type to Even now I don't look to receive gifts Like I don't It's whatever I like I like being able to I like when that tree is up and all your kids is smiling and your wife is smiling, you know, I mean like I There could be no worst Christmas gift for me.  That's what it's about. Oh my god. That's what it's about But again me too. I was always poor at I always well, brother and sisters Living in jersey. We know my Christmas is always Shared with my brother. So we get one thing and we always share it. So I always have to give it to them I mean because I was always into always everything else just like I am now. It's like I'm not into books. You know what I'm saying? If somebody give me a book, I'm not going to read it. So I'll give it to my brothers You know what I'm saying? So I was always into other things.     I thought about that earlier today.  We're all Doing that at the same exact motherfucking time. Um, I do you know the best thing about the holidays too is like Uh, the reflection You know what I'm saying? So you get to like reflect on the year You reflect on the on your life in a lot of situations and for me I know for a fact I got to a place of worthiness um December of 2019 around the holiday season just reflecting and reminiscing Things like that. I finally got to a place of worthiness. So that's the that's the beauty of the holiday season I do enjoy this season.    We're looking at man. This used to be decked out and everything man Where's the chris? I hear not one christmas song none I ain't heard no christmas music yet either. Nothing It's getting a little like Nothing, it ain't feeling a lot like christmas yet. Not at all. But you know what I was gonna ask.  It's a plant. Okay. No, I'm talking about the bark and everything If it's alive, that's why when you so right now, this is alive. That's why flowers die This is not alive. It's a table. No, this is wood. No, man.      You know what I mean?  They ain't buying property. They babies I don't get what you're saying You'll see what I'm saying. It ain't just about houses.   We let you know that we're putting out misinformation But it's for a good cause You can find a support for climate change in this conversation somewhere. Give us another asking idiot taylor tesla circa underscore nineteen ninety three wants to know best 2021 memory I had a lot of good 2021 memories same new daughter born this year The time we spent at our new studio a happy accident the god's honest truth is Incredible. I love it. Love being there. Um, love love the cultural institution we're building over there. Um Thoroughly enjoyed myself and my wife's 40th Both of them We did a couple parties Um for my wife's 40th. Well actually first of all salute everybody in turks and cake. Oh, you know I'm gonna be like I'm gonna talk about where I be at when I be there, but salute everybody in turks and cake Oh, we had a great time in turks and cake.  Oh, they show a lot of love every time we go to turks They show so much love man salute the turks man got a lot of love for turks. My man denario salute to you And um, we had a great time. We had a great time. He was there for like five six days We actually bought in my wife's 40th, you know in turks and cake. Oh salute to spend the rella DJ spend the rella came through and she provided the soundtrack You know for my wife's born day and then um the next weekend, you know, we got back We got back on that wednesday.  She likes hamburgers you know and There's a spot in new jersey new york area called bare burger and um, I got it for a private event And my wife had no idea. So like a lot of our folks pulled up from South Carolina salute to kim man Oh, man, salute to kim kim fields. I love you so much kim. That's my wife's college friend friends You know, she put together everything, you know in turks and cake. It was like she put together the whole Itinerary, but then she you know came back Uh to jersey that weekend to surprise my wife again and you know All my wife's friends pulled up, you know for both either turks are uh spot in jersey And we had a great time that night in bare burger and I got a salute, you know, my wife has two favorite artists Two her favorite artists ever of all time by eric abadu in jill scott my wife's 40 if you know I had to I had I had to I had to have one of you know me So eric abadu she pulled up uh in jersey man and man, let me tell y'all something If you only never heard dj lowdown loretta brown If y'all ain't never heard dj lowdown loretta brown provide the soundtrack for a party y'all are nuts I I was shocked. You know, you got to You too, right? She's too much of a celebrity too much of a singer to have that too.  Yeah like dj lowdown loretta brown eric abadu came in there Jack it on took the jacket off put the skully on it She started off with the um You know the beginning with the beginning of that dox effects record, what record is that? I mean, it's I think it does affect. I don't know what what it was But even even and but she had for everybody always got an eric abadu like section inside there You know I'm saying she did it was so fine Absolutely, so loot the eric abadu mess with the nephew, you know at the black home and new oak full, you know You know really decking out the bad burger the right way and yeah, eric abadu made it real special You know some happy birthday to my wife And you know, that was a great way to celebrate the 40 of born day, but that's that's the type of things I enjoy. I enjoy Experiences, you know, I mean so that was a great question. So that was a yeah those those are my 2021 Memories man, it's been a really good year. Also. I mean also, you know When tamika mallory's book came out state of emergency how to win the country we built just just watching people be able to like You know live out their dreams.  Like I like seeing other people have a good time. I like seeing other people You know Be filled That's what I like. That's what makes me feel. That's honestly I like throwing assists more than I like scoring points or watching other people happy other people, you know Energized and full of the spirit. That's what I like What else we got tell again Did I say thank you? I said thank you to eric abadu, right? Oh, just thank you. That's what I was I was saying all that to say Thank you to all those people that helped me make those memories possible Um, man, do you go Underscroll what we're here wants to know if you go back in time and stop one event from happening. What would it be? Interest I don't know because it just depends how you see time Like all my concepts of time come from movies So if you could go back in time and stop certain events from happening You know and change things like back to the future sure But if you go back in time like And in in game and it just creates another timeline I don't know And then I also wonder if But I truly believe man every single thing that has ever happened in my life Is happened for a reason everything I got to you got to what are the boys in the hood ricky and um, Mufasa and And liking what no, I can see that I guess you I don't too right there.     He was just trying to survive. He wasn't thinking whatever He wasn't thinking man. He was out. He dropped the goddamn milk cotton and tried to go. Ah They shot that She won the corn mill for the for the biscuits or something man. Now he was drinking milk. He was drinking milk. Yeah Damn, man. He shot Ricky down.   We needed to swing kill kill you could have just killed doboy and we would have got the same We wanted to stand if doboy got out in I'm saying because we would have got the same message Today was trying to give us. Yes, you did not have to kill Ricky John singleton.  I can't we're about the lady that with the kids is I don't want the lady with the kids died But she was bad with the kids.  We got it Duel was paralyzed We understood that yes, we couldn't get away. He got shot. That's right.   Yeah, I don't like that So that's why I would have changed I ain't gonna lie to you No, I don't like that. I don't like that.  What else Taylor? Oh, okay, uh, T. M. Chama color I guess he wants to know what do you not like about yourself? How are you fixing it? Um, everything I didn't like about myself I've been started fixing six years ago and all my issues that I didn't like about myself when internal You know what I mean? So that's what that's what me going to therapy was about So all all my issues are internal issues and those are the things that I'm constantly constantly constantly working on And um, I'm getting good.  I don't I don't feel that no more. I don't have I don't have the desire And I haven't had the desire in a long time even before therapy I haven't had the desire in a long time because I always felt like success was always the best revenge That's what I like.  I am not even thinking about guarantee. You know what I'm saying? So it's like I love that I love to see somebody spend countless amounts of time Minutes hours, whatever it is talking about what it is that I'm doing Or me and my team doing you say somebody that went you want to get back at somebody. What was the question? Oh I want to fix it. They say to come with age Uh, learn how to say no You know I'm saying boundaries boundaries.  I did because we got molested bro I do I think it's because we got molested when we were young.     Yeah, but I can't say nothing. Why can't I say nothing right now, man? And by the way, you know, I talk about being molested when I was Eight, but there's been other times in my life that I've felt those same feelings I felt when I was molested By as an adult right now.      You're the bad guy. You've been one to do this Nah, I only reacted because of this.  Once again, we're relying on human behavior To keep each other safe and sane And these motherfuckers will drive you crazy because they'll really have you thinking like you'll literally be having a conversation with a person Confronting them about something they did to you.  They know how to do it.  You think we're intelligent. You think we're brilliant.   Thank you for listening


Because none of this is going to happen without money. So we turn to private equity, Nicolas Villar from Tilt Capital Market. Yeah, thank you very much. So I don't know if I'm part of the problem or the solution, but as a private equity investor. So hi, everyone. Very happy to be here. I think it's, you know, it's very thrilling to talk after Frank and Franklin because they are solutions. I think we need to think that's what you come to your two presentations come to the same issue. Let's deal with reality. I think reality starts with what you also mentioned at the very beginning, Franklin, is today 600 exogels of primary energy consumption, 500 is oil, gas and coal. And that's the very, very hard reality. Then you turn to electricity, which I agree is a part of the issue, not the part. By the way, in Europe, gas consumption is as large for power production as it is for industry applications. So really it's a heat is a large problem. If you turn to power out of the, and I'm not going to bore you with too many figures, but out of the 27,000 terawatt hours globally, 20 are based on coal and no, sorry, a bit less 17 are based on coal and gas. So when yesterday, Laurent Fabius very rightly so said that probably in two to three years, renewables is going to overtake coal. It's actually in terms of capacity, not in terms of energy produced. And that's very, very different. So that's the reality. Now the challenges, and I think you both alluded to that, the challenges, when you talked about energy density, the three industrial revolutions that we've undergone were all based on increased energy per capita. First one was indeed coal, roughly 20 megajol per kilo, then oil and gas, 40, then nuclear, 80 terajol per kilo. The real challenge that we are experiencing and it's fundamental in the way we think the energy system is that we are moving away from those energy dense technologies to energy undense technologies. And so it becomes not a matter of production, it becomes a matter of logistics and optimization. You have much more solar energy that comes to the earth than any other form of energy. The problem is not whether you have the energy, the problem is how do you harness it? And then, of course, comes the issue of how do you harness it and use it adequately? Because if you want to have industrial application 24 hours a day, you're not going to be relying on sun solely. So for example, you have batteries, storage technologies coming into play. Again, let's be clear. The energy density of a battery is one megajol per kilogram on average. So it's 40 times lower than oil and gas. And so we need to understand that this challenge is massive. We had a system that was built on big energy dense production capacity, transportation distribution and consumption. And we're just, we're frankly, we're just making this totally explode. Now what it means, and this is where I'm trying to just do and bear with me, it's a view. I'm going to give you a view of what I think the technologies, how the technologies are going to transform that in sequence. First, and I think Laurent Fabius yesterday said something very important. He as an investor, we focus on the next 10 years, because indeed in the long term, we're all dead. So how do we get on the Paris Agreement trajectory in the next 10 years? And I think this is critical. On our side, we see two elements. First, you need to get rid of coal. And I'm going to get back to your point on nuclear, but we need to get rid of coal. Coal is 12 gigaton of CO2 every year. It's 20% of GAG emissions alone. We need to get rid of coal, and we're going to see the implications of that afterwards. Second, we need to get rid of methane fugitive emissions. And I'm just going to pause here. I'm not saying we need to get rid of gas, because I think gas is an element of transition because if we want to get rid of coal in the absence of nuclear, which is basically developed in at best 15 years, we need gas as an energy transition vector. But fugitive emissions are roughly 350 million tons every year. That represents 20 gigaton of CO2 equivalent because of the short lifespan in the atmosphere. So CO2 is a stock problem. We need to reduce CO2. Methane is a flow problem. If we manage to reduce fugitive emissions, we immediately have a very strong impact in the next 10 years in terms of GAG emissions. Now the problem is, in the same time as we're developing all those great technologies, solar, wind, and I'm just going back on your question, I think renewables is an absolute must. The issue is, I always used to take that example in the oil and gas. You don't drill in Switzerland because you don't have taxes. You drill in Norway, where taxes are 78%, because you have oil and gas. Same thing for me in renewables. You don't build renewables because you have tariffs. You don't build renewables because it makes energy sense, economic sense. So you build where you have resource. You do massive offshore when you're in the British islands, in the northern part of Germany. You do solar when you're in Spain and Italy and of course in Chile and other parts of the world, here in the Middle East. Do you really do solar massively in Germany? In my view, I don't think so. It can be a solution, but it's totally marginal. How do you replace that bulk power of coal and then gas? I think nuclear is certainly a solution. So small modular reactors, one of the main advantages of that is instead of developing a project, the main feature of this is that it's industrialized. So the big interest of small modular reactor is that you actually industrialize the reactor and then you set it up on process terms, I would say. Whereas any reactor that has been developed apart from the French nuclear program the last four years has been basically a project on its own. Then I think we need to, in terms of technologies, hydrogen and e-fuels are going to be absolutely critical. We agree, and that should happen in the next two to three years. One issue I see with hydrogen, very high gravimetric density, so energy per kilogram, three times that of oil and gas, very low volumetric density, a third of gas. So there's an issue of transportation, storage, et cetera, but it will certainly be part of the problem. In my view, much more for industrial application than pure energy, I would say pure energy production or fuel cells or whatever. And then I think there's one thing that must not be overlooked. It's how are we going to manage that from a power perspective on the grid? And on this, I would say the emerging technologies that we see are grid enhancing technologies. So everything that will allow the grid, the system, to accommodate for larger share of intermittent renewable energy. And here you have a number of things that are being developed super interesting from dynamic line ratings. So basically looking really at the amount of energy that a line can transport according to weather conditions and according to the sagging of the line, et cetera, power flow controls. So I'm not going to enter too much into that, but there are a number of technologies, these technologies are being developed and they need to be developed right now. And then if we move to 2050, in my view, there is the big elephant in the room, which is nuclear fusion. And there are a lot of things going on right now. You may have seen the series Bs of Commonwealth fusion system, 1 billion. There are great companies in Europe, Renaissance Power. There's the ITER work that is extremely important to mature this industry. And I will just end here on one note on the geopolitics because I think it's also the implication. And I will turn to two things. One is, I would say, solidarity and the other one is integration. And when I say solidarity, I'm going to take an example that's probably a bit rough in the current situation. I'm going to talk about Russian gas. Of course, Russian gas is an issue. And yesterday I heard, you know, the EU was short-sighted. No, I'm sorry, I don't agree with that. I've been working in this industry for years. We knew that there was, you know, we knew we were making a little bit of exposure to Russian gas. The issue is what Europe, what choice Europe did Europe have? I don't think we were short-sighted. I don't think the issue was Russian gas. The issue is Putin regime. The Gazprom delivered gas for 70 years without a hiccup even when the Berlin Wall fell, even when the Soviet Union fell. So the issue is not Russian gas. The issue is a regime. And as a European, I don't think we should rejoice from cutting Russia from part of its revenues abruptly and having Russia in shambles at the doorstep of Europe. It's much easier for the US. They have oceans on each border. But I think from a geopolitical perspective, we need to work with Russia, not Putin. We need to work with Russia to see how we organize that transition. The second thing is integration. I think yesterday Kaldun Al-Mubarak said something very important on supply chains. Yes, we need to reindustrialize in different parts of the world. Because again, we need to have things that make sense locally. But we need to have trusted, I think he used the term, trusted supply chain. I think it's very important. Today the energy transition means that we are reorganizing all the supply chain in the exposures. How are we going to do that? Frankly, I don't really know. I know we have an issue of exposure to China on key materials, key pieces of equipment. This needs to be dealt with. It's not a defiance against China, it's just a reality. Now to do that, we need to take account externalities that are social justice, environmental sustainability, etc. And I'm going to end on that note. I think what we are missing is that our investment models do a very poor job to actually account for those social and environmental externalities. And until we do that, I think we will have a difficulty coming up with sound and sustainable energy policies. Thank you very much. I'm very conscious of the time because the previous panel obviously went overboard a little bit. So we will, I think, probably try and steal a bit from lunch. I hope we won't be too hungry. But just one quick question before I ask to sum up. Nicola, you say in your website that the energy transition in Europe is an investment market of about 500 billion euros a year. That's quite an impressive number. How much, I mean, it's a great target. How much of it is actually being reached? Oh, we're very far from it. We have 10 billion or what? We were 160 billion investment per year in 18. I think we went up to 200 billion and we actually should be investing 600 billion. So the failure is at the government level or actually the private sector? Well, I think the issue is that if you put 600 billion per year at a, and I'm going to be very blunt, at a 15% return on capital employed and the costs are going through the roof. And I think we need to understand that the real gain that we're having from that is also, again, externality. If we're trying to price in the same way as we've priced before, we are going to have problem because the cost of energy is going to be unsustainable in Europe and elsewhere. Yeah, thank you.


My name is Maria Eugenia Celaya. I'm from Children Beyond Our Borders. I'm the executive director. Our mission is to improve the quality of life and provide sustainable access to education for vulnerable students in the U.S., especially in Alachua County in the area of Florida. And also we have some work in Colombia in Latin America. With the TechSoup COVID recovery funds, we were able to purchase eight Chromebooks. And those Chromebooks really help our students in the Trovalores College Prep Program. A lot of the kids were connecting using their parents' phones. And sometimes they didn't do it until the dad or the mom would come home to actually get with their tutor. Some families only have one phone and then three kids. So by using these Chromebooks, they were able to get individualized health from their tutors, get them with the homework, and prepare for their state testing. We're just extremely thankful that we got it. I have to be honest, I was searching and searching for grants and then applications, and we didn't have any luck until I got that email. And I said, you know what, this may be it. And it was it. So we were really, really happy.
