So this is actually the first time for me that the GitHub Cop Pilot gave a better response than GPT-4. So over here we try to normalize the power with each frequency band because this display can see this number showing absolute values. We want them all to be saved between 0 and 1. By the way this is the only case where I actually get a different note before I was getting C3, F3, B3, E4 and for this was at 5 seconds of A, G. I get the C sharp instead of C. That's not good enough. We want way more variability in the notes. That's what we will be addressing today. GPT-4 was suggesting doing it manually instead of using math mean marks functions only when prompted to use math mean marks. It's producing the same response as the GitHub Cop Pilot. Check if GitHub Cop Pilot made any other changes to have this normalize power. It's making other changes as well. That's just the structure of it, isn't it? And we can insert it into the code. Yes, we calculate mean marks straight from the array and let's comment this out quickly. Let's try it out. And the same notes played. Check if that code is actually working and let's console log it. Don't need this comment. Console log in max power. What is it? 6C? Yeah, it's doing it for each band, which is clear. Okay, some errors as well. That doesn't look right. It's doing it for the whole spectrum. Let me turn this off. Right, this is better. So we'll have a 12.96 and then the next power, yeah, will be just under 12 in the whole spectrum turned off by default. We can do it in HTML. We'll do this with GitHub Cop Pilot. Yeah, this switch. Can explain this for us quickly. I assume that's the default value. How to change default? Just remove the checked attribute. Let's try this. Yeah, control five. Check the values. Yeah, mean power is around zero. Max power 396, that makes sense. Then we have 196. Yep, that makes sense. Get some errors as well. Frequency undefined in JavaScript, line 86. All right, so this duration is one by default. I think we're setting it at 2.5. A volume should be fine. Getting an invalid frequency. That's interesting. What is the frequency? It's just missing. Normalize powers, map noise. We get the nodes. So the nodes to frequency conversion. A potential doesn't work. Yeah, this node to frequency conversion might be producing something funny. And let's call this Frick, then return Frick. That's right. We want to monitor Frick, log a console that can generate a, will return node and the frequency component. Let's do that. See where the error is coming from. Node C3, that's a different error. Frequency, P3, frequency, 4, frequency, getting nodes and frequency conversion seem to work fine. Then getting something undefined. It's a bit odd. So technical issue I can hear the nodes being played. So what that error is coming from? Well, I know where it's coming from. You know why I'm getting it. It's currently converging the nodes to frequencies. So that's happening. I thought I'm already doing this. And the error went away. Yeah, I was getting the same nodes. I'm sure for channel 4 it's not working, but it's just to check. Delta should be in 155 or something. Power. Yeah, it's this one here, 163. 163 and the second one is 31. It's that one there. So let's let's see it. Just scroller. Always get the same nodes playing, which is not great. App nodes, always the same. Even after automatically varying a mean and max power, use some help. With this one, remain the same after normalization region. It suggests that the issue might not be with the normalization process, but rather with the how EEG data is being interpreted and all mapped to musical nodes. Review the EEG variability. Yes, it does vary quite a bit. Control F5. And varying the volume. So we vary the volume we've amplitude there. That kind of makes sense. So there is enough variability. Check the function. And let's explain it with GitHub co-pilot. What to do to say. Function is responsible for converting EEG data fashion. It begins by normalizing power. Function maps each normalized power to musical nodes using map power node. Mapping is done within the specific range of nodes for each type of brain wave. For example, Delta waves are mapped to nodes between C3 and E3. Yes, that's normalization is not great enough, is it? Yes, if we're always getting C3, F3, B3, 4, it's always in the low side of the range. So there's not enough variability. But we're already doing this. But we're already doing a look rhythmic and log. No, not that type of log should be math. Log is scale. It's not cool. I'm pretty sure we had something. So we're not looking at the Python script anymore. And we're trying to do as much as possible in JavaScript. Yeah, I thought we already have a nonlinear mapping, but we have the normalized powers. We're already doing that. I don't know what you're talking about. Map power to node. Yeah, this bit has to generate this function. This one would not be using get node range to then get node index. Every time you ask it something about having another function, do we have to have another function? Can we just modify the existing ones? It's passing integer. Already have it then get node range. Change the code to enhance sensitivity. Something went wrong. Let's try this one and get the GitHub co-pilot working as well. It's not generating anything. Okay, now this is a cheat. It's common previous function out. So we're explaining the range of the nodes alpha, beta, you do log, map nodes, get them to a log there. So it's the same nodes still, 34. Yeah, just doing the first, the first nodes. There's some sort of perceived warning change, but that's actually not changing. You're getting the same nodes. So we tried increasing the range. We actually long that variability. Do we have a console? We do have a console. No, we had one that we manually saved. But we do that. I get it probably. Those work of K, remove those logs for now. Yes, this too, we expect much normalize powers. And the normalize powers are super low one zero six. Yeah, so there's not much variability in the normalize powers. It's scaling from zero to one. It seems like obviously the problem is that the change in normalize powers is too small. So this function is currently not being used. Why? Nothing to hallucinate because it suggests that this change, that also means we have to revet to the previous version of map e.g. data to nodes, something seems to have gone wrong. So we're revet it back. But the range, right, this is increasing the range as well as it. Okay, we're doing the square root already elsewhere. We're doing it already. Can expand the range here though. C3, E6, E3, E6, 3, 6. Okay, so this is HL4. This is no seizure. This is the seizure. And the nodes, yeah, almost the same. So yeah, so the variability between the nodes is still too small to our liking. Here it varied quite a bit. Yeah, we have those edge problems as well when you get to the end. Just try quickly. Yeah, that's a lot of noise. Maybe it sounds like music to you. I don't know. Let me know. We're doing a non-linear mapping. This range is not large enough. I don't know anything about music. So it's hard for me to tell how large this range is. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we don't have enough variability in the power, which is odd considering there is quite a bit of variability there. Yeah, I think I know what the problem might be. The power, yeah, should be probably something like 0 to 3000 instead of automated. What does that mean? Why are we doing this again? Let me just place this with it, rewrite the function or explain it. This is all very odd. And it obviously didn't work because it's returning all 0.5s. I was actually generating some noise. I'll return the previous one. We'll just try something more simple. Instead of this to just 0, because that should be 0, about 3000. Right, getting a bit more variability there. And we know that it's about 4 or 5. It's a channel 7. So this should be seizure. This should be no seizure. The noise is actually quite different. So yeah, we're having a problem with that last value there. What does it sound on a different channel? Yeah, that seizure really sounded different. Yeah, so seizure has this lower frequencies. So it was seizure. No seizure. Yeah, I don't feel getting much out of it. Does it sound like music to you? Probably highly unlikely. I don't know. It's a quite subjective music perception, isn't it? Yeah, that didn't work. Okay, that updated function that you generated did not work. It's giving a lot of errors. Now the range now seemed to be better. Getting variable nodes when scrolling through the EEG data. Can we make sure we have a non-linear mapping? Should it work correctly without errors? Yeah, of course. What's it suggesting? Is this another function? No, I already have that suggesting changing it back to... I don't think this will work. Give it a quick go. Let's do Shadow 5. No, it doesn't work. Normalize power. Revet, revet. Check that it's working again. We'll make any changes. Say which channel do you like? Actually quite different. Do you have something up? Yes, we are checking that it is correct or incorrect. I mean, it's highly subjective in this case. So this is how the whole things sound. Now the question is what your window size is. Make it very small. Say one second. Does it sound like music? My second favorite thing is having issue with this scroll. It's too jumpy. Scroll is too jumpy from html scroll, meanmax step. Let's make this step one. Yeah, let's make it two. Sorry for that. Strive step of two. Can you hear this? Horrible. Like when the nodes are transitioning between one another. Yeah, the duration. This duration default should be say 0.5 play frequency, step volume, next duration 0.1. Yeah, it's when the transition is not great. Transition is not great. Hold the input there. Just play the frequency. Same here. And in default volume should be good. Duration 0.1. Yes, it's trying to, GPT4 is trying to change the normalized power function that doesn't work. On linear mapping in the map power to node. Yes, we could use instead of square root, can use a power using exponential function or node index when it transforms power. Should have said that this is missing or it doesn't. It used to work better. As the transition between nodes is really bad, that's something to fix. So just keep playing until it's changed. Yeah, maybe that's what we can try next time. Just send the prompt for the duration of the node being played. Can we make it so it continuously plays until the scroller is changed again. So essentially when we load the page, nothing happens. When we start scrolling, the node is played until we move the scroller again. Yeah, that sounds good. But why do I have a feeling this code would not work? Still in development, but we, as you can tell, it's doing something kind of useful, which is loading this EEG that has a seizure in it, epileptic seizure. This is pure EEG, like the highest quality you can get. It's from an implant, from 16 implanted cells, implanted electrodes sitting on top of the brain, eight on the left, eight on the right. Now we want to, this tool allows you to do the noising and other things, but there's another feature we wanted to play sound, which it does. We haven't published it yet. So when you load the page, by the way, it won't show you the whole spectrum because we're taking, essentially turning power in each frequency band, delta, theta, alpha, beta into a corresponding musical node. So you select your channel, scroll through the stuff, and then write in the comments if this sounds like music to you, or if you like it or not. If you don't like it, you have to make a suggestion as to how to improve it. You can change your window size and the like. Next time we'll be trying to actually make it play continuously until you move the scroller again. So loading the page doesn't play anything. It's actually not allowed. The browser won't let us play anything. And select your channel to start playing. I'm gonna make it so it keeps playing until you move the scroller again. And then we'll play the new four nodes. We have an event, obviously, for the scroller input over here. Yes, that's the same. And then we're changing the play frequency function, this function, still have volume and duration as an input Y. Global oscillator. Current oscillator is a global variable that keeps track of the currently playing sound. In play frequency, before starting a new sound, the existing sound is stopped if current oscillator is not null. The file scroller event listener stops the currently playing sound and starts a new one based on the scroller's position. With this setup, when you load the page, no sound will play until you start scrolling. Once you scroll, the sound for the corresponding position will start playing and will continue to play until you scroll again. At which point the sound will change. Okay, we'll continue this next time. Bye for now.


That plane there, that's a DC-3 and that's both my father and my favorite plane. It's the most beautiful plane and it's the plane my father first flew commercial on. See, that's the real thing. In fact, I've sat with him in that plane when he used to fly it. That's a King Air, that one. I don't remember this exact one but generally whenever I was in a plane or a helicopter with my dad, I was put into the cockpit. What he'd do is he'd ask me about all the instruments and ask me questions and we'd do the flight check together so we'd walk around the plane and then he'd ask me, okay, so what's that and what's that and what's that. And then later when I was in college I learned how to fly. I remember we once went to Jaipur, Udaipur and then we went to Bombay and then we went to Srinagar as well. It was very exciting because these were all normally early morning flights. So sometimes it would just be a surprise, you know, he'd come into my room. I remember once he came into my room at about 3.30 in the morning he was like, okay, get ready. So I was like, what is this, get ready. So he didn't tell me why or anything like that. So I was like, okay, I had a little aluminum case this big. I packed it with, you know, my shirts and my pants and my shoes. And then I remember walking out in the dark and going. So we were going on a flight. And then I remember I sat in the jump seat. Those days it was pre-9-11 so you could sit in the jump seat.   So I remember, I can still remember it. And then there was a problem. There was some sort of a technical problem. It was an affluent, a technical problem. So it was delayed. So I spent quite a lot of time in the cockpit while my father was trying to fix the problem on the ground. And then I remember when we took off, wonderful. Look, if you're a pilot, that's a risk you take. I mean, you know, you just, that's just something that you take it. So even, I mean, my father told my uncle, because my uncle was flying a very particular type of plane, a PITS special. It's a very aggressive plane. My father told him that, you know, don't do this. My uncle really didn't have the experience. My uncle had similar hours to what I have, about 300, 350 hours. And he shouldn't be flying that plane. And he flew it and that's what happens when you don't have the experience and you fly.  My mother was worried. So every time my father would go on a flight, you know, it would be, my mother would have this record playing in the background that he's on a flight. It's so dangerous and she'd be worried and she'd be transferring the word. Then once there was a problem. It was sometime, you know, it was on the Kashmir. There was some problem with Kashmir and then there was some issue with his aircraft. So my mother, I remember getting very worked up. You know, pilots have a very particular ability that comes from their training. And it is this idea that you have to move from a 30,000 foot vision to details in the cockpit. If you lose track of details in the cockpit, you run into trouble. And if you lose track of the 30,000 foot picture, you run into trouble. So the pilot, a pilot and I am one, we move from these two spaces very seamlessly and very quickly. Pilots also, when they fly, their imagination isn't blocked by roads, by railway lines. Their imagination is at 30,000 feet. So they have this ability to see large systems. And this is what really helped my father. I could see this process taking place where he would go and meet people, get into their details, understand their details, and then instantly move to 30, 40, 50,000 feet and look at the big picture. And his work was constantly moving between these two perspectives. And always understanding that imagination can bridge anything. So that to me was a very powerful thing that my father had. That's a A3, a bus, A320. One of his big regrets was that he left the airline and couldn't fly the bigger jets. That's a fighter plane. So I think both of us would have actually loved to do that, didn't really get the opportunity.


What's that? It's a mini Christmas jumper. Christmas! Christmas! Bloody waste of time!  When are you going to get a life for you lad?   Merry Christmas.


My fellow Americans, before getting into my subject, I want to speak about some special people. Four years ago today, a man tried to take my life, and I wouldn't be here were it not for your prayers and the great skill of the medical team at George Washington University Hospital, and the bravery of heroes like Special Agents Tim McCarthy, Jerry Parr, Police Officer Thomas Delahante, and Al Antonucci. They and you continue to be in my thoughts, as is another who was injured that day. My press secretary, Jim Brady. Nancy and I ask for your continued prayers and support for Jim and his family, and also for the family of Al Antonucci, the man who helped wrestle my assailant to the ground. Mr. Antonucci died last May. He was a proud American who never asked a thing of others, but who willingly risked his own life to save another. Now, on another subject. This week, the House joined the Senate in approving production of the MX Peacekeeper Missile and sent an important signal. America will maintain deterrence by modernizing our strategic forces, and we will stand united behind our negotiating team at the Arms Talks in Geneva. And by strengthening deterrence, we can ensure those weapons are never used and meet a crucial challenge to our shared bipartisan responsibility for preserving peace. But another crucial challenge must be squarely faced. It's a challenge that I and members of my administration will be presenting to you with the utmost seriousness in the days ahead, for it goes to the heart of American security. I'm talking about the Soviet Cuban Nicaraguan plan to destroy the fragile flower of democracy and force communism on our small Central American neighbors, a plan that could for the first time bring tyranny to our own borders, carrying the same specter of economic chaos, the same threat of political terrorism, the same flood tides of refugees we've seen follow every communist takeover from Eastern Europe to Afghanistan. Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Ethiopia, and now Central America. A key Soviet objective has long been to turn Central America into a beachhead for subversion. By tying us down in this hemisphere, by penetrating our vital sea lanes and crippling our ability to meet our commitments worldwide, the Soviets will find it much easier to intimidate other nations and to expand their empire. I know many well-intentioned people would rather not accept these facts, but we who have the responsibility for governing cannot afford to be ostriches with our heads in the sand. Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko described the region on our doorstep as boiling like a cauldron, an urged revolution. We know that the Soviets turned Grenada into a warehouse of violence. They did this in the last five years, and they provided more military assistance to Cuba and Nicaragua than we did to all of Latin America. And we know that the support Nicaragua gets from Cuba, Bulgaria, East Germany, North Korea, Libya, the PLO, and Iran is a threat to our security because the dictators of Cuba and Nicaragua have not only pledged to spread communism, they've been caught, forgive me, red-handed trying to do just that. Right now Havana and Managua are waging a campaign of disinformation to cover up their deeds and reassure the American people with soft words of peace. A secret Nicaraguan memo leaked to the Wall Street Journal and reported yesterday revealed how the communists have used propaganda to smear their opponents, tighten censorship, and confuse the outside world. There are other examples of the regime's true intent. On March 1st, exiled Nicaraguan leaders representing a broad pro-democracy movement met in San Jose, Costa Rica, and made this offer. The freedom fighters in Nicaragua will agree to a ceasefire if the communist regime will negotiate, permit free elections, and genuine democracy. The answer came back quick, loud, and clear. Forget it. U.S. support for the freedom fighters is morally right and intimately linked to our own security. If we refuse to help their just cause, if we pull the plug and allow the freedom fighters to be wiped out by the same helicopter gunships the Soviets are using to murder thousands of Afghans, then our ultimate price to protect peace, freedom, and our way of life will be dear indeed. Nearly 24 years ago, President Kennedy, warning against communist penetration in our hemisphere, said, I want it clearly understood that this government will not hesitate in meeting its primary obligations, which are to the security of our nation. Well, for my part, I want it clearly understood today that if we fail to meet this obligation, then history will hold us fully accountable for the consequences, for we will have sent an unmistakable signal that the greatest power in the world is unwilling and incapable of stopping communist aggression in our own backyard. Until next week, thanks for listening and God bless you.


Hi, I'm Matthew Coast, head dating coach and founder at CommitmentConnection.com. And today we're going to talk about how to deal with jealousy. If jealousy comes up in a really strong way, in a relationship, it can completely destroy your relationship, it can destroy trust, it can just ruin everything for you. And so here's how you can deal with it. Here are three things you can do. The first one is vitally important and it is build a life away from your partner. And you might ask, you know, why is building a life away from my partner? You know, how does that connect to jealousy? And the thing is, is that most, a lot of women that I talk to, they give themselves fully to a relationship. They're like, oh, I gave myself fully to him. Why doesn't he give himself fully to me? Well, giving yourself fully may seem like a really noble thing to do, but it's not healthy. There's nothing healthy about that. And it's not attractive either. And so you need to have a life that's outside of your partner that's completely separate, have friends away from him, have activities away from him, have passions and things that you do away from him. It's way more attractive and it's way healthier. So the second thing you need to do is work on and deal with your insecurity. So insecurities can destroy a relationship.  And if you have really bad insecurities, it can be a huge problem. So work on getting rid of your insecurities as much as possible. Everybody's got insecurities, but you can work on them and make it so that your insecurities aren't controlling you and that you just have these insecurities that come up once in a while. And there's different programs and stuff you can go and deal with that from things like transformational training, things like self-esteem training, so places like Landmark Forum or PSI seminars or something like that, all those things, they work on your insecurities. So the third thing is to accept your feelings as a natural part of a relationship. So there's one thing where jealousy gets to the point where it becomes obsessive and you can't stop thinking about it. And is he seeing somebody else? What's he doing? Why is he talking to her? And that isn't healthy. But knowing that a certain little bit of having jealousy can be healthy and just accepting that and letting go of needing to do anything because of it, that can be a really healthy way to embrace your jealousy and deal with it so that it's not controlling you anymore. So that's it for today. If you want some resources on how to attract a quality man into a committed lasting relationship, make sure you go to my website at commitmentconnection.com and take the quiz there. I'm Matthew Kost and I'll speak with you again soon.


Everybody good. That's the holy, everybody good. You make it to the league, you good. Good, everybody good. And somebody pass it.  But they got that, you've watched like a lot of YouTube shit, they got like, like all the, I don't even know how you would say it, like low budget NBA players, like people usually only know if you were that hard. Yeah, yeah, I get it.  What's the white boy that used to play for the Celtics? The Scalabrine.    Now this dude went into a gym and wiped the floor with everybody. Everybody in there. Like, he looked like Jordan. He got a cold following though. Yeah, he does. He does. Like, it's a lot of dudes like that in the NBA though. Like, you know, fan favorites. Fan favorites. And then it's like, if you were basketball nerd, it's like, yeah, this is my guy, but he only averaged like 15 minutes a game. Like, old boy like from the Celtics that just got hurt, wasn't it? Robert Williams? He was nice this year before he got hurt. Everybody know LeBron and KD, to be honest. Of course. Yeah, everybody know them, but it's all. It's a cold world, man. It's a cold world. I know sports is your forte. I try, you know? That's how you got to know all this, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I learned very quickly. I was not gonna be an athlete. I learned very quickly. I was not gonna be Michael Jordan. Man, it took me a while before I gave up on my athlete's dreams. I got hit one day though, at football practice. I was like, I'm good at other stuff.  I was always afraid of like getting hit. And then I wouldn't be able to get my helmet off because I'm claustrophobic. What?  My mom always asked me because I grew up in a football family. My grandfather was a football coach.  I was scared of the helmet. I was claustrophobic and that was the only reason.  I never played football because I always played basketball. So. Man, you missed some great fun. Man, I did. I did.  No, like I remember coming up in high school, like my school had this big rivalry with Petersburg High School. I went to the school called Matoka and we would all be, we'd see each other at the ball every weekend and at the arcade and whatnot. And then sometimes fights will happen at the mall. I'm like, oh yeah, we got y'all next Friday.   You would really see who would be fighting and who would be like, you know what?   Oh man, look, you get caught across the middle? Yeah, yeah.  Like, cause they hold objective is to hit you while you're not looking. So it makes it look like. Oh yeah. It's way more impactful than it is. But if you like, every team got that one motherfucker and all that that's built like that. Can't nobody hit, can't nobody. So as long as you identify who that is early. Yeah. But it can happen at any moment. It can happen at any moment. It can happen to anybody. Like my boys would tell me all the time, like this happened after high school, but it was like everybody want that one hit, especially if you align back or safety or something like that. You remember when Sean Taylor almost killed the punter and the pro bowl? Yeah. Like everybody wants that hit. Yeah. Because I mean now you can't really hit like that no more because the game has changed. But like nah, like my boy told me one time he got hit so hard run across the middle. He was like tense. I thought I was being born again. I ain't know where I was. Like, cause he looked up. It was a night game and all he saw was just like a white light. He was like, huh, this is either the end or this is the beginning. I don't know which one it is, but I have no clue. He was like, I ain't know where I was for the next three quarters. Still played, which is probably, which is an issue.  Good show. But it's a glad he had the sport. What position you play?  Oh, so did that. I was just playing in any position really. I knew it.    Like, as you should. Keep it, keep the same energy at all times. Man, I just had to be doing something, bro.  Like, I'm gonna get under your skin somehow, someway. Right. And however I'm coming, I'm coming like that every time. Exactly. They gonna know that. You gotta earn your respect, bro. You talking about like blind side hits.  That's where it's really, you can really put your name out there. What would be going through your mind right before a blind side hit? Ooh, oh my goodness.  And you see them coming on the poster and they just looking inside.  I'm talking about a textbook tackle straight across the body. I'm going right there. Like, you see this pose? Like you gotta hit like right there. I'm getting my angle together. You trying to hit like leave with this show. I'm trying to put some pad in it too. I want it to be loud. Yeah. So it was going like, damn. So you said, you said it took a minute for you to realize like, all right, well, I ain't going to. Oh, you were that day? Yeah. What was that day? We was like, you know what? I got to retire. It was, it was actually, this the thing about playing football when you go from ninth grade to 10th grade. That's like from ninth grade football varsity. But you start varsity football at the end of ninth grade. Yup. Yup. So it's like. The game a little faster. It's a lot faster. These motherfuckers been working out three years straight. They on creatine, everything. So one day I was playing corner on this side, right? I was playing left corner. And the quarterback did an option where he came out, faked the pass and took off running the other way. All right, damn. The other side. So as I'm coming across the field.  I'm looking at the quarterback. Oh God.  Sending me a flag. I was like, he's like, well, I had a good run. And I got up and the coach was like, are you okay? You all right? You know where you are?   That was the one day I was like, this ain't it, bro. Man, for me and basketball, you remember it was like my basketball career ended early. I knew I was like, all right, I got a much better chance to be Stuart Scott than Michael Jordan after this. So you remember it was like 97 when Jordan had the flu game. Everybody played basketball in 97. Yeah, everybody did. Yeah. I mean, literally everybody played. And you know, Jordan had the flu game. I put flu game because I ain't never known a person to catch the flu in June. Yeah, he was just drunk. I thoroughly believe it was the hangover game. And to be quite honest with you, that's not a knock on mic. I think it's even more impressive. If you did it drunk for the flu. Yeah.  You ain't catching wind drunk. I was on that tequila. Look man, Vegas was a 45 minute flight from Southern. Scottie probably drunk more than him that night. Dennis drink more than all of them. Drunk is one, he just didn't eat. Yeah, that's the thing. They don't get trying to blame it was bad pizza. Like no one, look, I know them yellow eyes. Exactly. You ain't getting yellow eyes from pizza. And he was smoking cigars all night too. Look, I get it. And the Jalen Rose has subscribed to this theory as well. So I'm not alone in this. We are not alone.  It was the hangover game. And that was more impressive than the flu. Hey man, you heard it here first. Mike was drunk. We gonna put it out.   You tricked us as kids. We thought you was the go. But now you really to go cause you did it drunk. You really to go cause you did it drunk. It was one of them drunks where you can't come down. You gotta keep drinking. You gotta keep going cause the moment you stop. And look, to Mike credit, he dropped 40 that game. He dropped 40 in a must win game on the road. Drunk. Side-tied 2-2. That's how you know he was drunk. Cause he hugged Scottie. Didn't have to watch in the documentary. He ain't even focused Scottie like that. Boy that documentary had people pissed the same way the whole winning time joint got people pissed now. Yeah.  Look man, look, that joint is mad entertaining to me. I'll be watching. I'm like, I get it. It's TV, it's a dramatization. And I get it Jerry West. You don't like it. The thing about it is they didn't put enough in that. That's the thing. It's too specific.  No, no, you can't put it all in there. And it's already got renewed for season two. So there's a lot of people watching that joint. And look, Kareem hate it. Now they picked the right team though. Cause it was like, they got the Showtime Lakers. They got a team that was terrible that year.  That's the documentary you want to see. The 1980 Detroit Pistons before Isaiah Thomas and all them. 84 Milwaukee bucks. The 95 Vancouver Grizzlies. They were they man. Yeah. They were doing ecstasy at halftime. Look, you remember. They trapped a big country. No, big country. Was the French at what? Big country. At least the jerseys was fire. But no, you remember his name? Our test was, he said it himself. He used to drink Hennessy at halftime. I believe it. And I believe every single syllable. 20 pounds just from Dr. He did? Look, what? Well, our test, that's another one. They could do a mini series on like so. But yeah, nah, that flu game. That flu game. Drunk game. Drunk game. Had me believe and I was like, you know what? I drink Gatorade. I eat Wheaties. I drink some right now. Look, look, look. They told me I could be like Mike. If I do this, Mike play with the flu.  So my brother and I, we shared a room growing up. And I'm like, yo, aunt, don't tell mom. I'm cutting the fan on it and I'm cracking the window. He was like, but it's like 30 degrees outside. But like, nah, I need to be sick. So I could play like Mike. I got sick. I got benched the entire second half. I ain't sniff 40 points. I was like, oh, of eight. I ain't even hit the rim. I was turning the ball over. And my mom was like, how'd you get so sick? I ain't say anything. My brother did. You just ain't that smart. No, no. No, because you thought you'd get claustrophobia wearing a helmet. Yeah, I did. You tried to get the flu. Yeah, to play like Mike. I like to think that I've wisened up a little bit over the last 25 years.   I'm black walking the door. It's a safe space. I'm just being open and honest. It ain't going to always, you know, work in my favor. Hey, man, the black market is open, OK? And you do not need the flu to be great at nothing. Let me check my sad notes, man. I got some info about you over here. OK, all right. Let me see. Well, well, I do know this is your second book. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the second one I co-wrote while I wrote the Wayne Way's photographic memoir that came out last year. Photographic memoir. Yeah, but. For those of you who don't know, we got my man Justin Tinsley in here with us today. We're over now, author, commentator. Hey, look, he called me over now. So I'm over now. This goes out to the whole world. Yeah, this is going to my LinkedIn. Yeah, we're over now. Yeah, we're over now. Now, he's saying a lot of good things about you. Hey, look, I'm trying to keep it that way. Plus, you're doing it for the culture, man. You're doing, it's all a dream.  Yeah, man. Catch us up. How did you get here? What was the start? The crazy thing is, I'm almost a deleted email away from not sitting on this couch with you, because it's like fall 2019.  I get one in the subject line says, Biggie Small's biography, you know, interest or something like that.  And come to find out, it was from the guy who eventually became my editor on the book. His name is Jameson. And he works at Abrams Books out of Manhattan. And it was like, yo, I'm looking to commission somebody to write a book on Biggie ahead of what would have been his 50th birthday next month, May 2022. And I'm like, yeah, that's cool. He's like, would you want to write it? And I'm like, it seems odd, because everything I knew about the process is I come to you with an idea. And you either green light it or pass on it. And I wrote up a quick pitch. And it was like, yeah, we want you to write the book, sign a contract in January 2020.  You got deposit money? That check cleared. That was the biggest check I ever had in my life, at least at one time.  I'm like, yo, I'm going to New York. I'm going to Chilling Brooklyn for a couple of weeks. I'm going to Atlanta, because he had ties down here. I'm going to LA. He had ties out there. I'm going to just travel the country just writing a book. Man, this is like a dream. Then March 2020 happened. OK. And I'm like, you know. I know what happened to March. Yeah, we all know what happened with March. And to make a long story short, I just basically had to do all my research, all my interviews via Zoom. I couldn't go anywhere. And I was just like, it was daunting at first, to be honest with you. I was like, it's Biggie Smalls. Like, it ain't exactly some unknown musician. Like, everybody know Biggie Smalls. And I'm like, what the hell can I say new about this dude that will make people want to read it? And I ain't going to lie to you.  Like, I got to write 100,000 words on this.  Like, I don't know. But that doubt kicked in. Yeah, that doubt, man. Like, doubt is crippling. And if you would lie yourself to stay in there, it could ruin your entire career. It can mess up personal relationships. It can mess up bags. And I'm like, nah, I like getting the bag. So let me figure out a way to get myself out of this. And I did. And I'm definitely pleased with the final product of it, man. I think people are going to read it. And it's not just, you know, sold some drugs, made some great music, beef with Tupac, and then died in a tragic manner. Like, sure, yeah. A lot of life happened in between.  It ain't just like he just jumped off a stoop and sold drugs. It's like a 14, 15-year-old kid in Brooklyn. It's like, this dude was born into a war that he didn't even know existed, which was the war on drugs. And like, so we go back to like Richard Nixon passing legislation that made it easier to imprison people for like 15, 20 years for a small amount of drugs. And like, all of these things played into like who Christopher Wallace was and who Biggie eventually became. So I try to focus more on that than opposed to just the salacious or the sexy headlines, because they're in there, but it's far more than that. Yeah, it's all. That's dope, man. Yeah, man. I wanted to feel like seeing it in the physical form at this point. Bro, so this ain't funny, but it is. So in like September of last year, they started sending me like the early versions of it. It was like paperback. And so they sent me like 10 copies in like a box. And like whoever it was, FedEx, Amazon, I can't remember who it was. They dropped it off on my porch. And I was in a meeting. And my wife, she was taking a shower. And like, so we got like the security cameras like on our doorbells so you can see who's there. And I was like, oh, yeah, you know, my books came. So she opened the door and she was like, I don't see a box here. I'm like, I just saw him drop the box off. Bro, we look on the camera. We live in a transition in neighborhood. Nice people there. Dool came and took the whole box, took the whole box. I don't know if he thought it was like some shoes in there or if it was like a gaming system. I didn't know who it was. So I go across the street to my man. So he'd been living in the neighborhood for years. He was like, yo, let me see the video. He showed me the video.  Them books was gone. He threw them books away because I was, he was somebody who used to live in the neighborhood and obviously he had fallen on hard times and he's a guy that like he just tries to make money however he can. And so, you know, I was pissed about it at first. I was like, damn man, he got a chance to hold my book before I did. But I started to learn about like his backstory. And I'm like, what's down, man? Whatever his intentions were, I hope he's all right. You ought to write a book about his book still in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I didn't have him delivered. And then when you see it and it's... Yeah, he was like a book. He was like, books. So this is what y'all think about me? Yeah, I'm gonna call it September, whatever day it was. Yeah, put his name on there and be like, book still in there. Yeah, I should have thanked him in the line of notes. But yeah, so it, to hold it, like it's one thing to see it like in a Google Doc. It's another thing to, you know, see it come back from the editor with all the edits. But it's another thing to like hold it in your hand. I would imagine it's like, if you're an artist and you're working on your debut album. And especially back during the days when it was like cassettes and CDs, you could actually hold it.  And although this isn't my life, I put a definitely, I put a lot of my life into it because I got memories of big going as far back when I was like in what second, third grade, you know, sneaking and listening to like the unedited version of ready to die. And, you know, singing one more chance.  I'm like, none. And you know, you just got memories to it. And we're all per, especially within rap and in this culture, man, like, we're all deeply connected to it because we all got memories to it. We all got like, yo, I remember where I was in life when this song came out. I remember walking into a party in high school and, you know, the girl I wanted to dance with, you know, I danced with her to this song. So like music is way more than just sounds over a beat, man. It's just like, it's like part of the best music is part of your soul on wax. And that's, I hope this what this book is for a lot of people as well. What can they pick it up?  If you ever, if you ever know where he is, you know, I haven't seen him since, but they say, He know he wrong. He know he wrong. You had to run up on him. Like, yo, I need them books. I need them. He was, he was probably pissed when we started with books too. He was. Yeah, books. Books, anyway. Can't sell no damn books, right? I can't sell, especially not these.  Right, that's exactly what he said. But no, you can get it anywhere. Like Amazon books a million black on bookstores. I've been trying to push those a lot. But no, a few. Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. I'm trying to push it to all of those. And just like, I tell a couple of my homeboys hit me up. They was like, yo, Justin, like we want to support, but for I ain't read the books since high school. And I was like, don't worry about it. They got audio books for that now. They read to you.  I don't care. I don't care. Just pre-order it. Pre-order it. Send it on the coffee table. Yeah, look, do what you got to do. Like it ain't going nowhere. So. Well, there you have it, folks. My man, world renowned artist. You heard it. Get the book. I'm taking this one. Yeah. I'm keeping this one, so I ain't got to wait. Now that's yours, man. It's the illest. What's your social media, man? What's your next project you got coming up? Are you in the book game now? Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to, I haven't decided what the second book is going to be. I'm on a two book contract with my current publisher. So it's just a matter of thinking about what I want it to be. I know I would love to just shout at my man out with his AI shirt. Like you talk about a book, I would love to write. I would love to write Alan Iverson's autobiography. I might have to get with you. I got a book idea. Hey, let's do it. Let's do it, man. No, what y'all got going on here? And I'm not even just saying it because I'm sitting on this set right now.  Like, I look at this as like the same way my mom and grandma looked at Oprah every day at four o'clock.  Yeah. On that Oprah stance.  And I love everything that y'all got going on. Y'all are so important, man, to sit on this couch. I mean, it's like the third most popular couch. It's like Martin's couch. It's Dennis the couch from season one of The Wire. That's how important it is to me. I promise you. I promise you. We love her at the third spot. See? See? We're safe. Longer than we stayed top three, we good. Look, man, y'all are important, man. And y'all are just highlighting just so many parts of our community, whether it's entrepreneurs, whether it's authors, whether it's whatever the educators, like y'all give people a platform that, honestly, otherwise really wouldn't have to be themselves. Because we can go other places and try to get promotion. But like, man, we spent the first, what? Five, six minutes talking about trucks digging people in football. I can't do that everywhere. No, man. And that's what this whole platform is about. Man, it's just getting some exposure inside of our community and letting people take to what they want to take to. Just to let them know there's more options of us out there. Look, and we greatly appreciate y'all. So thank you for real, man.  Hey, you already know. 85 South, Justin Tinsley. The black market is open. Oh, man. Let's get a photo. Hold the book, man. Strong black granddad and liquor. Hell, yeah. Appreciate you, boss. No problem.

This vehicle has the 6.4 liter V8 Hemi motor and has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop. Has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100% ready to go. Granite Crystal Pearl is the color. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p, 60 frames per second.

And if you want to check out more photos of this truck in the upper right hand part of the screen is a link right to our website so click that and check us out there. Comes with the 20-inch painted alloy rims part of that sport package. BF Goodrich All-Terrain 35x12.5 R20 LT tires and these tires have probably about I'd say 70 to 80% of the tread left. Maybe even a little bit more. You can see it still has the little wear-nounce on the top there so probably about 80 to 90% as a leveling kit here. It's probably about a 2.5 inch or a 2 inch. You get the Bilstein shocks part of that off-road suspension package. I didn't see any dents or dings on that front fender. You get the blacked out headlight bezels part of the sport package. Front bumper parking sensors. No major dents or dings on that. For 18 they made the ram stamped grille. Looks really good.

Passenger side fenders in excellent shape as well and the passenger side rim is in really nice condition too. As you go down this side of the truck you can see just how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down you can still see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here.

Only thing I saw on the truck, one little ding on that rear tailgate other than that very very nice all the way around on this ride. Down this side very clean. No denser dings and for full disclosure this back rim is in excellent shape as well. That tire lots and lots of tread on there and down the rest of the side very very clean. You get the blacked out Hemi logo, the blacked out Ram logo. These mirrors fold up like so and they are heated and I'm not sure if they power-fold in or not.

Power windows, power locks and power mirrors. You get auto headlamps and as you hop inside the truck here you can see that this one has 45,755 miles.
