J.O.M. Did you do me the honor of playing me some things? I can do that one. Two jelly beans, two jelly beans out of there. Jelly beans. Fresh.  Set that motherfucking tone. Yes, sir. Uh. Yeah. Uh-huh, uh-huh. I want you to have the square. That'll be hard in there. You know what this is. Like, you know what you need on here? You need a nigga in the beginning that say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and you don't stop. Yeah. And it don't stop. Yo. Oh, my God. And it don't stop. One into the four. You already know how I'm coming through the door. Uh-uh. Let me bring it back. One into the four. One into the one. One into the four. Come on. Ooh.   That's hard. We're going to take about time. You are on the 85 South Show. I'm about to show you how we get down with high flow. Welcome to the ATL and T.A. That's where I stay. I keep the K right there with me. You know how. Because I'm all about my chips when I dip. These niggas know what's happened when I trip. Ooh. Look at the drip. Don't slip. Going off so hard and you didn't save me none. The oldest one. My mom was the oldest son.   Ain't even know we coming through with some black crisps. And I know another nigga on the other side.      Because I done came like a handyman with so many tools. Ooh. So what you pulled? Did you pull the monkey rat? Uh-uh. Now what you pulled?  Uh-uh. Now what you pulled? Come on, Shawty. Don't play it. Go ahead and get with me.  But I'm a Mississippi nigga, not Alabama. Uh-uh.  That even if they didn't get hit, they didn't get hit. Ooh. I like what you did. Yeah, you feel me? Yeah. Yeah, they put a bit of cold little St. Ice commercial from back in the day. Look at that with your soul. You feel me? Two shoes. You feel me? Pat. Pat. Fuck, I hit with a pat. Picking up a few of my left out. No cap. This better have my sweet potato. I got them edges. Come on. Okay. Y'all, you heard what he said. Yeah. Now DC. Uh-uh. This one of them won. I think so, my boy. Now, we can get this man all kinds of intros. Whoo. But I think this is probably one of the most important figures in hip hop culture. Talk your talk now. Come on. He was in them room. Uh-uh. He sold them records. Uh-uh. Them concepts, them ideas, them art shows, them exhibits. I think they scared them. Ten shoes. What? Lecker. What? This is one of the niggas that showed niggas how to be rich. Come on now. Shit you're supposed to do when you get the money. Don't forget about the clothes, nigga. This what you do when you get the money. Uh-uh. And he is an excellent artist. Quite a culture voucher. Come on, man.  Uh-uh.  Uh-uh.  They gonna say it. I'm talking about air replay too. You know him as one of them. Coldest. Coldest. Mm-hmm. Intelligent. Mm-hmm. Money making. Mm-hmm. The definition of a hustler. Come on now.  Come on, man. This one of the only motherfuckers that get on a whole interview and speak nothing but common sense the whole time. Come on, man. Never been afraid to speak the truth. Shit.  This couch.  He done made billions of dollars in revenue. Mm-hmm.  Uh-uh. This not a Def Jam tour. Right.  Come on, man. Come on, man. His son got cookies, man. Come on, man. And they deliver. Y'all niggas gonna stop acting like y'all the only ones getting money. Come on, man. I'm talking about he put everybody you like. He was right there. None other than. Ooh, man. Hip-hop royalty. Ooh. Mr. Ooh. Dating and dance. Come on, somebody. That's the definition of putting respect on somebody's name. Come on, man. Appreciate it. That was dope. Hey, man, I'm gonna tell you. The only thing you forgot was the pause. We also invented pause. You definitely did.  I had to say something that you didn't tell them. You don't like to say it. You don't stop a whole company and say, pause. Pause, what?   Why you thinking like that? I think down here you say it a lot. Pause. Hey, man.  Facts. True.  Facts. That is a fact. Being an example, people don't understand like, you talk it, but walking what you talk.   Well, I'm only thinking boss. And sometimes I'm not around people that thinking boss. So it's a language that people sometimes don't understand, but I'd be like, that's the only mentality that you can think in. I don't know any other mentality.  And also I might take it as a sign of disrespect.  That means you think I think I'm a boss and I'm not. That's a trigger for me. And then sometimes you talk, you know, because also like I consider myself a general. Sometimes you talk to soldiers and they don't understand general talk. They want to be told what to do. They don't want to learn. Just tell me what to do. You know, but I like to make a soldier into a general because I got a lot of wars to fight. You know, but, you know, at the end of the day, those wars are for love. But yeah, so that's what it is. It's just a mentality. It's a CEO mentality. How do you stay in that? How do you understand? I think that's why I have a problem with when the soldiers don't want to be generous. They just want to be soldiers. And you're like, God damn, I don't know how to help somebody to stay the same. I never, I don't know how to do that. Well, then you have to shed them. You know, the only people you don't shed is your family, but sometimes you got to shed them as well. You got to give them space. Right. You know, some people don't evolve at the same pace. That's why I smoke weed. You know, the ideas that I have, they don't realize themselves for decades. But people constantly want to be stuck on a Titanic knowing it's going to hit an iceberg just because they're used to it. Patterns hypnotize people. When you put something in pause and someone face every day, all day, they don't know any better. They just, even if it doesn't feel right, they do what they're told, like, you know, look at the way the world is set up. Right. You know, we're taught to be to sit behind a desk for eight hours a day while the sun is out, while we're children. So that we're prepared to do that when we become adults.  Right. Or taught you how to pass a law? Right. So these are logical things that should be taught. And also, the curriculum that is implemented today is a curriculum that was made by Thomas Jefferson. And this is facts.  And we still have that curriculum today. When we go to school, we're presented a sport and what pause is dangled is you could break a social class if you try to win lotto and spend your whole life not learning and doing a sport. And while you're in that team, they don't teach you about anything that happens after 30. Knowing that more than likely you're not going to become a professional. And if you do, the likelihood of it lasting and you're not getting injured is slim to none.  Right? Why do schools look like courtrooms in jails? Especially the schools in LA. Everywhere. Every school looks like a courtroom. It looks like a hospital. They all look the same. It's programmed. I go to a kid's prison to the school in Chicago.  The kids don't have outdoor space. They breathe recycled air. When they get locked up, they're given a drug. The drug makes you impotent. It kills your libido. And they say if you take the drug, you can get out quicker. It's called the CUT program. So they all doped up, all of them. There's no therapy. The therapy that's available are all white women. Talking to children that kill people. Black kids. The education, the worst part about it is when they let them back on the street, the average reading score is fourth grade. So that ensures that they build another jail cell. So the recidivative rate is almost at 99%. So imagine bringing the kid, doping them up, not educating them and putting them right back in the wall with no education but addicted to a drug and the only way you can get it is to go back to jail. So now jail's not that bad to them. They're just preparing the kid to go and be an adult in jail. Now the worst part about it is for every kid, the budget is $1.2 million.  He gets no commissure. That's torture. And this modern day, that's going on now to these kids. So when I go in there, they don't let us take. But if I have girls with me, they cry. It's really disturbing and y'all should check it out one day. But that's how they're programming our kids to accept things, unrecognized trauma, where it's cool for us to hurt each other, glorify it. And also there's an algorithm for it where you get paid and not ever do anything to the people that are repressing us. It's all a program.  You know what I mean? So I just always look at what's logical and I'm not going to complain. I'm like, you know, that's a good trick.  But what's been erased from our memory is when we were in control. Like Moors, we were torturing them. They were our slaves. They've erased all of that history. We talked about them more in school, right? So there was a time and I guess when you get abused and you're not that strong, you get very strategic about how you make strong people think they're weak. They've just been tricking us. That's why I laugh at them. But I just been aware of it the whole time. I think it's because of the family that I grew into. You know, we've never been bullied and just the people I grew up around. We've never been on that end. We were always like the people that bullied the bully. I'm not saying me, but the people I was around. And I appreciated the fact that I didn't have to do what they did and that I could do what I wanted freely. And that's why I was just always felt untouchable. And I still feel that way.  You don't. Like what I do also is I can time travel. So when I was young, I would get in my spacecraft at light speed to what I would look like when I was 52. And I was like, I don't want to be on the greatest hits tour. I don't want to be old dancing with a gray beard with champagne. I don't want to be pushing old work.   I sold three companies before I was 40, before I was 35.  And I want to make sure everything I do in this moment when I'm 50, I'm prepared for what's going on now. See, when you hustle or you like start a company, you don't start a company that worked in the past. You got to think about what they're going to be doing in the future. So I started building everything. Like I looked at the industry as it stood 10 years ago, 15, like the Titanic.  I don't want to see people with nobody was listening.  Y'all can say what you want. Y'all stay on this Titanic and I'll go build a brand new ship. And when y'all hit the iceberg, I'll have this ship. And when you're building yours, I'll be like, but I was trying to tell the niggas. I'm still telling people. That's why, you know, in this moment, everything got to be new. So that's why when you said he had sneakers, I still got sneakers. Nicolette got to pair one right now. Those are CEOs. And I didn't have glasses before, but I got them now. These are brand new. They're saying rockwear. This is CEO.  That's corny.   You can't tell me you take it rock or fall.  I feel like it now. So now I did, I've done, did a project with Cameron. You don't even see it with a track, but I just did a rock and roll project. We can't wait on freeway. I'm dropping a new single, new records tomorrow. I just asked you to download America New, a brand new network. Niggas ain't got networks. Name a nigga that do. And I get the full CPM. So I'm going to teach you something about that because they robbing us. And it's important that y'all realize this. Anyone that's getting their money on YouTube or any platform where there's a commercial, it's called the way you get paid is through a CPM. If you're not talking CPM and you on getting money like that or YouTube, then you sound dumb. You got to know about CPMs. You got to understand CPMs. It means for the, in the ad tech world, it means click per million, but it really means click per thousand. They try to make it so complicated that they put the M up, but that's the Roman numeral for a thousand.  But like in another world, they might say cost per million, but whatever, but I say click. And it's a commercial that runs, right? Then you get paid for a commercial. YouTube takes the money. I'll say YouTube, Leo Cohen, right? He works for YouTube, but just what he do, right? Just what he represents. And let's say they make $22 off the commercial. It's a $22 CPM. They're going to tell you, you're getting two. So you pay for what you do, and they make 99.5% of the money.  You just got to take what they give you. That's not called digital slavery. Any place in the world that you work and someone else gets 99.5% of the money for your labor and don't tell you how much they made, that's not slavery. Is it? What's that on the stand? Slavery. Now, I see you got to look at it to a boss that's slavery. It ain't no extent, nigga. You don't make more money off me than off my labor. I make more money off you. I'm not a slave in that tone. Understood. So you're, but in like, oh, it's over, you know, but may I take what I get because I'm broken? Maybe because I never made no money before. I'll take 100,000 a month, but you're making 20. I'm celebrating you because you robbing me. That's a different voice. Are we speaking, are we speaking like your own property versus you working for somebody? What I'm talking about is whatever you put, your content on YouTube, they don't pay for it. What? It's your IP. You put it on there. It's all you. And they get 99% of the commercial that come from it and you don't get a dollar. I mean, you get maybe a dollar. That's digital slavery. That's what I'm saying. I didn't say like modern day Kuta Kente slavery. I said digital.  So any aggregation of people in the digital, whether it's YouTube or social media, and you'll be like, how they make their money, Twitter or whatever, they make their money because they're selling your behavior patterns to people. They're just studying your behavior patterns, what you buy, what time you buy it. It's an algorithm. So they sell that data to the people that are doing the advertising. Why would I send a tampon to you? You understand what I'm saying?  So they know who to send what to. People buy data now. They don't teach you that. So put it like this. Let me break it down to you like this. Let's say you used to hustle. Let's say you had a brick, but you didn't cook so well. So you go to your man and say, I need you to cook that for me. I had 1,000 grams. He knows how to make it into 2,000 grams.  Would you be tight? In the street, you put a nigga in the trunk for that. But you're going to celebrate Leo. Right?  And that's what they always do. So I'm not going to complain about it. I made my own network. And what I did, let's say, they get the ads from Pablo. I went around them. I get the ads from Pablo. I get the full CPM. And I got my data. And I could give it away for free. And I could now break it down with a co-creator if I want. But it ain't for everybody. Your work got to be good.  So I look at people that I look at that change industry because I'm an industry conqueror. What's his name? For Apple? He died? That made Apple? Steve Jobs. So you remember Steve Jobs made IBM or whatever it was.  I went away for 10 years. I said, I'm going to do that. I'm going to do what Steve Jobs did. I'm going to go do my thing. And I'm not going to exploit anything anymore. It got to be about me. So I went and learned rock and roll. So I could come back good at it. And that's what you just heard. I had to come back and learn the fashion business. And I didn't want nobody else putting up the bread. That's the CEO is. I had to go back and learn how to have a television network because I wanted to make movies. Remember, I made paid in full.  That's why it ain't no paid in full too. I ain't make no money off it. I'm fighting in the street over that. I'm going to court over that. And muckbuckers is running up on me. And these are the muckbuckers that made the money. Bring it back. What happened?  What's going on? What do you mean, in the street? With the paying in full. So this is what happens in... I'll explain the movie business to you, right? Right. So, you'll have... So, boom. Let's say I bought the script from AZ. Right? I got the rights to his life. Then I go to Merrimack's Dimension and they acquired the rights to his life. So now they got it and they're now just paying me a fee to make the movie. And that's what happens in television and all that. So you don't own it and they just pay you a fee.  But I got to deal with everybody in the street.  You know what I'm saying?  To this day, we're still going through it over that motherfucking thing. So I'm making it now, but I had to have it on my own platform. I had to get the lion's share of the money. I'm the one that got to be fighting in the street. You acquired the rights first. That's what happens. You acquired the rights first. You don't have the money to make it. So now you have to give it to somebody else. You didn't know that? No, no, no, no. All I heard was you acquired the rights at the end of the day acquired the rights. You didn't know that in general? No, I know that's how I go. I'm just listening to your story. Because that's a normal story. I'm saying that's the industry standard. So the same thing with a TV show.  They take the idea. They take it from you.   A network gives them a budget, but now they're just paying them a fee. So they'll be like, you get $400,000 episode. As long as the episode's all right, I don't care what you do with the money. So a place, a production company, right? Like let's say this, you got cameras. What they'll do is they own the cameras, but they'll act like they're renting them for like $5,000 a camera. So they just, it's called the skim. So that's how the production companies make their money. It's all from the skim.  It's always a black person that's down with a white production company, right? And what they'll do is tell the artist, are we paying you short bread?  You want to see what I'm saying?  And that's the game. So I'm too aware of the game. Like I look at it as a boss. I want to know how you make the money. See, that's what y'all got to start asking. Stop worrying about how y'all make, y'all should know how y'all make the money. They're giving it to you. Ask them how much money they make.  How much do you make off me? That's it. Nobody never asked that. In the street we do. We ask each other that. We don't trust each other. Soon they give, and another thing. When you get on social media or YouTube or you sign, you actually sign a contract. You got kids sign a contract without a lawyer looking at it. Y'all giving away all your rights. Nobody even looking. Why? This seems logical though. But nobody looking. Just because they say it's so, that means they robbing us. The less we know, the more they rob us. The more we know, the less they rob us. That's why they got to talk to me nice.   It's frustrating. So that's why I smoke weed. And that's why I'm fucking. I'm gonna do it myself. And then you put niggas on and they go jump on their side and they start selling out.  So that's why I'm only gonna do, this network is my family's network. I work for my family. All the companies. They're my family's. That's not mine. I work for my family. I'm at work right now for my family. And on my network, I have therapy. I have children's programming. I got books out right now. My girl, she's wrote a book called the Desco Goes in Space about my son. She already sold 60,000 books. 10,000 is the best seller. That's it. And you know how we go into the board of education and they let us teach the kids how to dream. See, I'm down with something called the OSG. It's hundreds of principles from economically challenged places. And when I say economically challenged, I usually mean black, but they always know what we mean when we say black. They know our verbiage. They know how to block what we're gonna say already.  So we gotta change the verbiage. You know, economically challenged. And what they do is they talk about the things they can do off school grounds. Dr. Dennis McKeezy curated all the coolest principles. So if there's public officials that are black or from our culture and principles, they're gonna let us teach. So we have to teach. We have to give curriculum. All we do is we let them give us curriculum. Why would we let them teach us how to be slaves and not know it? So you know how you keep a slave a slave? You don't let them know he's a slave. That's the digital world right now. That's what they're doing.   How am I signing something that I'm not giving it to a lawyer? When do we do that? All right, so you can make everyday miracles happen. We not plan whether it's same day delivery of gifts, groceries or those last minute party essentials.

America and you. Just check it out. That's it. And I have a freeway album coming out. Black Guns and Freeway. So with me, I'm like, I don't want to just make money as an artist. I got to be an artist. I don't want to make money on somebody. Hold on, I got to design it. I'm going to play a coach, period. And it's cooler that way. It's way cooler to be the artist than the administrator. I'd rather be the artist. And I'm admitting that right now. I would rather be the artist.  People do anything. I'm going to still be the money. If you're going to be the artist, you've got to own the business. So you're going to get exploited. Every time you heard me spazz out, it was never on an artist.  I might tease. We might snap. But I always spazz out on an administrator. Because I'm yelling at a robbing artist. That's why I was yelling at him. And y'all acting like I'm bugging. I'm yelling at them because they bullying y'all. Somebody got to do it. Somebody got to do it. I enjoy it. I'd be like, let me call me. I like it. I love it. Ask Nori. Ask anybody. I'd be like, yo, I'll do it for free. Let me know.  I'll tell you exactly how to talk to them. And exactly what they should say. I'll tell you. Blame it on me.  We don't need them. Who cares? That's what I mean. I'll be like, he's fearless. Fearless of what? Nerds?      Period. I just didn't realize that people would really like that, that they could click up and be like, we got to get them out of here and we're going to cheat and all this 48 Laws of Power. Everybody reached 48 Laws of Power.  Everybody does it. When you walk into somebody's office and they have 48 Laws of Power, I already know what they're going to do. I already read the book. Not to do it. They never cheaters to me.  You could do all that. I'm over here doing what I'm doing. They have not stopped me once.  All on my own. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. Speaking of yelling. I'm from the south, bro. We pay attention. But we mind not being that. You dig what I'm saying?  You dig what I'm saying? What time? The meeting? The time where the white t-shirt time. I always got a white t-shirt. Nah, this was the time when you walked out like you was in the office for a long time. Yeah, you was walking through.  Because my man Bobby Burke I just died. Bob-a-law. I was the first friend that I left. First brother from the best out. Biggest brother. And we was at a wake. That's when I was like, you know? In a time like that that's when they really start trying to get at you.  And I had heard about it. And that's why I had taped the meeting. I hadn't already knew they were doing it. But I was like, these niggas are really going to do this when my heart is broken? When my whole crew's heart is broken?   So I had to get some therapy for that one. So we all know it's deep in the rap and we know that the... But that's called torturous interference. And I supposed to do that.  But two motherfuckers is funny. But in hindsight it was like, you gotta remember like I was like 30. 30. In that meeting I retired at 35. You understand what I mean? I was 52. I've been retired for like 15, 20 years. I was done with Rockefeller at 35.  And I have to do nothing they telling me to do. I ain't got to go to no red carpet. I ain't got to smell nobody bad breath.   And then Instagram I'm like, oh I ain't never got to go out. I'm outside right now because first of all I got new companies. It's time. I was explaining to people it's like to Godfather. For the last like 10 years my crew has been like, why you keep letting them do this? And I'd be like, don't worry about it. I didn't want that old block. And now five years later to Godfather hit all five families in one day. So fashion is one family. That's the CEO and all that. The music, I just played a Maya project and again we don't know it's a movie but it's a whole problem. There's a new music, a freeway project that's coming out this week and then I just played the white Fuji's Nicolette and Lee. You feel what I'm saying? I'm not there for music just so y'all know I can. Now, I'm active now. I don't want to talk about the old days. I'm active what you're doing now. Hit me. I challenge anyone that was doing it with me. Give me a new record right now. Here's my new record. Let's talk about that. Let's see what we have now. It's easy to be cool when you're young. Let me see what you're looking like. A rock star looks like at 50.   And then the television network business. I don't see nobody with one. So now I'm ahead of the game. Nobody got one. No disrespect. But this one, like that where we get the full CPM but the digital world is the world. That's the new world.  Cable is gone. So why hustle for that? Hustle for the future. If it doesn't sustain, we just went through a pandemic. So we also broadcast live. So if it's a pandemic, we could be doing shows. And y'all got a whole building. And nothing is I'm proud of y'all. I don't want to say that.  And listen. I've never had a studio this organized and this well done. So y'all independent and go to what label got a better build? Y'all got a building. Y'all ain't got an office on your own. Right? You got to celebrate that. They just don't do that. Y'all got studios. This is exactly what it's supposed to look like. Yeah, we heard you when you said that. Exactly. So I'm coming. I'm proud of y'all. Appreciate it. That's a dang dang moment right now. Yeah.  I want y'all to make movies though. It's too easy. Just get a GP with Chad GBT.  You only need three. All you gotta do is get an adapter. Throw some better lenses on it. Good. Y'all got lights. Y'all got sets. Y'all got talent. Y'all got five pages. You feel me? Y'all got a switcher. I never saw a seven switcher like I'm bugging. Y'all got everything they got. If you go into a network studio, they don't have updated cameras.  Y'all been on ABC or the morning.    I'm impressed.  I think a dang dance.  We buy seven more cameras. Y'all over qualified for what you're doing. Y'all got too many guns to fight battles. Y'all ready for war. That was always my problem. I would go to war without no guns. So I said, hold on, let me get my guns. I had mad beefs. I'm like, damn. It was wild. I didn't think they would hang out like that. You know what they do? I think I brought them together. He's taking all our girls. He's getting all the money. He's telling them we can't rob them. We got to get them out of here. I'm still here. Right. Crispy. Everything new. New game. The same people that rob Jaws and music are the same people that are robbing all in digital. I told you what Leo did in music. He invented the 360 deal. He did that because of me. It's because with Rockware once I was like, damn, you got to think about it, right? It was universal and depth jam got 50% to me, Jay and Biggs had to bust down three. And then Jay was double dipping getting crazy money as an artist.  We were friends. I didn't care. And then after that, there's no money. So I'm like... And then I realized that with Rockefeller if I make Rockefeller clothing then I would have to bust it down with depth jam. So I made Rockware. So I started to use... I just looked at Rockefeller as marketing. So if you notice I was just putting all the clothes all that was a commercial for me.   People are like, hey, you got me on that one. Todd Moskowitz did the deal. He was a lawyer.  He's a lawyer because he's just up under the yours. You know what I mean? Like Julie Greenwald?  It's just hilarious to me over Sherry. That's crazy to me. I know them. They can't dance.  I'd be in meetings and they'd be like, can y'all bob your head or anything? They'd be like, can't hold a beat. How do these people run? How do y'all flicking up to these people? Whoever's in the office with them right now that's black, you should be ashamed. And I want you to laugh at her when you see her. When she walks through the office instead of being like, Julie, Julie, she's black. That's why they be clicking up. And they're like, damn, I thought I was done. How did y'all let them become your bosses? How did that happen? I'm back and I'm looking around and I'm like, these are the bosses now? How did this happen? No wonder. And what I know is that these bosses are going to take everything you don't know about so I'm just going to educate you about it. So just ask them how much they make money off the CPMs, the digital and ask about your data.  No label got a network and can make clothes and can make books and can make music and can make glasses and can make sneakers. It's all independent.   I ain't got no money to loan nobody. We only got money for bills. That's a broke.  I ain't got no money. I ain't got no money to loan nobody. We only got money for bills. Is that true? That's the truth.   We only got bills. We only got bills money.  You should be investing it all. I don't hold no paper. If you got paper to hold, you broke. Damn. They even say that. I bet it all every time. I don't hold no money, they gonna take it. I'm not holding no money. Look at it. I'm broke.    You think I can't change my net worth? I should be saying negative 2 million. I put that there. You don't think I can get that taken? I put it there.  I'm broke. Fucked up. I just got mad companies. I'm broke like that.  You know what I'm saying? Because niggas will take it all and not give none of it back. The thing about... I don't even know. I don't count money. It's more the love I gave away that got violated.   That violation. My currency isn't money.  All I care about is love. That's my currency God made that. You know? And... What I try to do is teach people about dreaming.  You can only use 8% of your brain. It don't mean the other 98 don't work.   So what I visualized has happened for me. It actually works.  So number one you got to keep negative people away. And also you can't hang out with people that aren't dreaming. So if someone doesn't have a dream, what could your conversation be with them other than something that has nothing to do with your dream?   It's the money to get. There's no time to talk about anything but that. If you ain't got no dream to talk about and that's clicking up, you're wasting my time. Literally. So you got to keep people without a dream until they can get one. All they're going to do is resent you for having one. Because people without a dream don't have a purpose. People that don't have a purpose are miserable. I don't know what life could look like without something to wake up and fight for. That's why niggas be depressed. They just get up and just they're complacent. That's why you got to dream big. Dreams don't cost no money. So why would you dream? Oh, I dream for a job. Some people dream like, I just want to pay my bills.  The dream is to have an island, a yacht, a plane, and be able to make sure your grandkids, kids never have to work. They could all be dumb.  We'll try to map, make sure they don't. Well, that's what happens usually. First generation makes you second, maintains it, and then third fucks it up. There are people that have third generation of wealth. So I understand generation of wealth and what that looks like.  This is your kid's kid.  That happens. But you got to own your IP. You can't give nothing away if you don't own nothing. It's just logic. You know what I'm saying? Yes, sir. I appreciate it. I've been through what you've been through, but not as crazy. But the way you reacted, I was like, he's a stone cold killer. I was ill. You put it into being creative and work. That's just what I did.  And God never gives you anything unless God thinks you can handle it.  I went through it, bro. I promise you.   I'm hearing you. I'm going to give you another pair. You know what I mean? You know what happens? So I have a child now with my girl. And we lost the baby at 7 months. Thank you. But then we had a baby a year after. But our thing was what you don't want is people feeling sorry for you. So what we did is we did therapy publicly so no one could ask us no questions. And then we went rockin' cop the car, S63, and then we went to Hawaii. And we, Nicolette went with us. And we had a lot of fun. We healed. But we were having so much fun that people forgot that we were in pain. When they see you enjoying yourself, they forget that you went through some. You know what I mean? When I see you on Instagram and shit, I'll be forgetting that you went through some.  But if you could sustain that, you could do anything, bro. You could do anything. And I could see, I could, it's ill. So again, you never get over it. Don't even try it. You just learn to live with it. It just makes you a general. You're not a general unless you fought a war. And you're fighting a war publicly that you don't have to respect you because you're doing something that a lot of people don't have the heart to do. That's the thing that I did.  But like I said, that's when they really tried to get at me. I went to three therapists that day to make sure I was straight the next day.  I couldn't stop. You know what I mean?  So every time, like, you know, when I hear the music, I know there's a sign. So you pay attention to the signs because they still communicate with you. I was reading this book called The Seat of the Souls. That's how I connected with Elia because we both were reading this book in Kadada, and it was about the evolution of your soul. And then I had all these other books around because I got into it and then she passed a transition and I never read those books no more because it was like I was being prepared to still be able to connect well. I had like a roadmap of things to look for, the signs. So I kind of could recognize them. It's funny because she talks to Rocky a lot through butterflies. One time I was kicking it. Me and Rocky was kicking it with this girl. She was like, did you hear the New York Kelly record?  And lightning struck. And then one of those like truth, like psychics kind of, they referenced it. She was talking to you through some lightning one time.    This is another conversation.  And that's why I try to prepare myself in every dimension.   So no one's talking about the future of space travel.  They're building hotels out there. Are they teaching space travel in school? No. Are they teaching code? Are they teaching CPMs? If they're not teaching those things, you're not preparing a person. The thing is, what people understand about me, my message is harsh.  It's enabling. So you can't just be like I'm going to talk to you nice and they feel good but they don't learn.   And they're like what? I'm not going. I'm like yo, there's a train coming. Like you don't hear it, pull.   And then that person's like why do you have to yell at me?  No matter how I saved your life.   It's what stops people from even actually doing anything. They always act scared. So just don't be scared of nothing. Just be conscious. But no fear. Don't worry about nothing. Never worry. It's always... Every month is never worry for me.  People was never worried. My favorite month, my oldest is never worried. He gave us two. The one where he said I don't know how to feel to wake up and not have nothing to fight for. Nigga, you fucking... That's why when you said it, Nigga, I know it's a battlefield. Like I wake up, put my boot, like I live by that. I stand on that. That's why I... I stand on that. And I know it's a war. And I know I got to put my shoes on. You know what you're doing?    So that's why when I go through it, as a general, I got to stand up because I can't have niggas folding if these things happen. I'm like, yo, you got to do it like I did it. You feel me? So that's why being a general is like, you got to be able... you got to be able to fight everybody in the room. Who did that three? You got to us.  Everybody wants the top slot. You got to earn that top slot and fight everyone around you for it.  The animal planner for real ain't it? They eat... The hyena eats the queen's head to take over.  The closest people to them always want they slot.  Pause. Shit is crazy. It can be Bob Turner. I teach you how to... Well, if you look at animals, they're honest. Right. So the one thing that an animal doesn't have, I don't think it's consciousness of death. So they have no fear.  They don't know they're about to die.   But I look at them and they're... I didn't even bring... Gov is getting old.   But, you know... Yeah, you just got to look at the way our honest animals act. Mm-hmm.  Pause. Yep. I expected that. Are you a vegan? I'm slowly getting into it. Think about that. Number one, how are you going to trust your oppressor with food? Like, I got homeboys that did everything in the street when the jail came home and a cheeseburger killed them. You know, meat is the number one cause of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. The number one cause. So why would you still eat it? It's all GMOs and there's so much doodle all over it. So you got to think about it, right? You ever bust a shrimp? And you see the doodle? When they take a body, a chicken, they just put it in a blender. But the doodle's still in them.  And fish. People think they eat fish caught out of the sea.  And they just sit in a toilet bowl shitting. And that's it, it's in the fucking... There's a tolerance for rat hair.  So you have a tolerance for rat hair, a tolerance for doodle, and a tolerance... Like I said, you got this much doodle on it, this much pus, and this much rat hair.   You know what, that'd be some good-ass doodle. There you go.  You're programmed, but these things that taste paws better than doodles that you just don't know about. So that means go explore, look for it. If I know something, if this block ain't right to live on, I'm looking for another block to live on. I'm scared when it comes to food, I don't know what to eat. I'd be like, what I'm going to eat. But just go to TikTok. TikTok to everything. Everything, that's the new search engine.  To eat is no excuses now. That's what we don't have right now is excuses. All we need to do is know. You just have to know. Just think about the future.  What are we going to be doing in 10 years? And then hustle for that. Don't hustle for it now. You're surviving now. Hustle for the future. That's what I always do. So that's why everything I say, I'd be like, this thing is bugging. But when I do it, they'd be like, oh genius. But every time I say something, people still say I'm bugging. But this generation is better. It's on the ground.  To somebody that's bugging, you bugging. You got to be bugging a little bit. To somebody that's not so smart, they're not going to thank you so smart. They're going to look at you like you're always tripping. You kind of have to be smart to recognize the smart in somebody. Somebody dumb doesn't recognize the smart. They recognize the dumb. So somebody that doesn't listen to you is dumb. No, you're dumb. That's just a reflection. What I find sometimes is the things that I find in people I don't like, are the things I don't like about myself unconsciously.  It's like every time I'm talking, it's like I'm really just reassuring it to myself. You know what I'm saying? Some motherfuckers are hard to like. I'm not. I'm hard to like to people that I'm beating up. Like I said, I'm a superhero. I'm that man. So the joke is always going to be mad. You feel me? Like when you're a superhero, at any win somebody got to lose. So it's not...  No matter what, people are going to have opinions. Why would you care? Like why would you care what someone thinks about you other than the people that you care about?  And negative gets attention. It's an algorithm. So people, it's a profitable thing.  I love it. And then it makes them give me a reason to talk. Keep doing it. I think it's funny. If you're like in the public eye and you care what people think, that's an oxymoron.  That was crazy.  Yeah, like there was a million people out there.   People like popularity though. People are insecure. They get paid in dopamine. That's why they robbing you on all those platforms. They pay you in fame and not money. That's just all that is a distraction, bro. You got to look for the distractions. Like again, we're people that are confident in our physical brawn. So we don't hide. People that can't fight are real sneaky.  They can't fight are real sneaky. I be trying to tear nigga that. The only one that's not going to physically come up on your homies. They don't even want the credit for it. Right, right, right. The ones that piss in your food. And then just look at you eat. Paws and you're like, oh, trust me.  And I'm not talking about like a book reader. That's not a nerd. It's just a person that doesn't play fair. Someone that's just not, you know, a boy that's not man enough to just confront things and be honest and won't give nobody a fair one.     Be mad at yourself. Or watch America New and I'll teach you how to dream and all the hate. Because what happens when people are dreaming, they don't hate. They're worried about their own dreams and they celebrate others that are dreaming.   I ain't got no time to be putting a visual of someone I don't like in my brain. To me, that's wild homo.  You know? No cancel. I have no cancel. But, you know...  No cancel. No cancel. No cancel. I'm old. I'm 52. You know what I mean? You can't expect anything to change. It doesn't mean the same. It's also got to be cognizant of people's mentalities as you get older.   You know?  Like everywhere I go, I always go like, is weed legal here? Because to me, weed's legal.   Like I've done... Boy house is not knowing that and being with people and they'll be like, yo, you know, it should not be on the ground, but it's not legal. I'm like, I just closed on a crib. I can't smoke. If I wouldn't have done that, if I wouldn't know. You know what the future looks like and the little things that mean things to you? In the future you have to make sure those things are taken care of and you have to start planning for them now. So also I'm part of something called the commission and that's Senator, and today he's probably going to be, he is the mayor of Gary and Congressman Andre Carson and Bishop Pinnell and Dr. Pinnell and this therapy. So there's Tajé and there's Melody and there's Do-It-All who's the first, you see Councilman first elected official that went platinum and we also keep each other well versed in law and education and then the OSG with Dennis McKee law, education, therapy prison reform, health so I always try to surround myself with people that are the best at what they do. Like isn't it advantageous to know you know literally like I've talked to the senator about diabetes, I'm diabetic and how high the price of insulin is and he drafted up a law and got it changed. So we don't know, we think we can't change things because we don't know how to pass laws because we're not taught that. But we can change things. We got to think most laws were made by people 150 years ago. Those people had slaves. So anybody that made a law that had slaves didn't make a law that behooved by slaves. And we still abide by those laws to this day. So the only way to change curriculum is for us to make new curriculum. The only way to change things we don't like it has to, only way is legal if it's a law. It don't matter how you feel about it. You see what Trump's going through, it don't matter. It's law. I'm looking at him.  But I know what it is in that courtroom. The judge is the king, that's God and you can't do that with a judge. No matter how much money you got or you're the president, the judge is the president in the courtroom. So once you're in there, you surrender everything. You got to go online. That's why I hate going to court. Because it's like a lawsuit. Yeah, that's why I don't love airports so much either. Anywhere I got to stand in line or like people are telling me what to do and they start feeling empowered because they could tell me what to do that's a bit of a trigger for me. For me too, I can't stand it. I hate it.    You gotta let people live and make a little work. Nah, I know you don't. I do like to live. I put the air phones on. I take some mushrooms.  I'll be outside. Please, I just don't want to travel. This is what happens. I'm gonna tell you what happens. Please, please, okay. To gain your dream, you have to evolve. You have to change as a person. So what happens is right before your dreams about this come true, there's always a test.  Gotta walk away. So if there's like some disrespect, you'd be like, but let me think it through. Because if you do, then you're not ready to go forward sometimes. I'm sure I've failed that test a lot of times. So I've been trying to figure out how to walk away. Because when you fight, even when you win, you hurt yourself. Like all my knuckles been broken and I haven't lost many fights. But every time I fight, I hurt myself. I gotta heal.  Now I gotta heal. I'm so, I rip something up. Every time, fighting is traumatizing. Like, you know, if you got to, you gotta be prepared. But if you go walk away and you're not in the street, the street makes you deal with things different. Because you have to come outside and protect a piece of concrete so you don't own and sell things that are illegal. So now you have to regulate words. But when you're not in the street, you don't have to regulate words. And when you have a lot to lose, so it's a hard test for people. Cause you have PTSD.  It happens all the time. You know, you'll be like, now you got it. You know what I'm saying? I don't feel like sitting in the jail cell the other day. Like, you know what happened with Freeway, right? He flew in. We all flew in. We were all coming from, we were all busy. We all flew in and met at the airport to go to the, cause where we are is like an hour away. So we could just ride together. So I was getting Freeway from the airport. And something happened.  But something happened where the luggage wasn't coming out and some white people was flipping on the people that worked there. Wilding. And I'm like, damn, it's not even they fault.  And then the police came and they went directly cause the girl was flipping so much they called the police, but they blamed it on the black girl and us.  So they came right at me. They came at El Boogie and I went to break it up and the cop was like racist, like back to like old deed on me, right? And then I said, yeah, you got it. And then we worked it out. The girl was like, it wasn't her. And I was like, yo, your man was wrong. But either way, Freeway was like, yo, old dame would have never had that. Different. And what I know is that was a test. I knew it. I'm like, damn, we're about to make the best music, but this shit could have had me locked up. And all that music would have wouldn't have happened. Just because I'm mad.  So I had to pass that test. But I recognized it. I was like, that was a test.    Like, you know, I remember, you know, I don't know if you know about DD172, but I just put out this currency record and it was going crazy. And I was telling everybody about the test. And the time I lived in Tribeca, Steve Stout lived up to block. So we turned the corner. I never told this story, so this should go by with free. So we turned the corner and, um, uh, Steve Stout and this girl, like his boy had a chick with muscles. Uh, Mackenzie, his white chick, and Raquel. But Mackenzie, like, Mackenzie could fight his white chick. You would never know. I didn't even know.  So I'm about to wash him right now. I can't believe God gave me this gift. So I'm walking up to block to him, right? And Mackenzie goes, the test, dame the test. I'm like, ah. So I'm walking past him, like, you bitch-ass nigga. And he goes, yo, I thought we took care of you. Right? And I said, man, you were snitch because he told him I'm puffed, right?  Every time I would see Steve Stout, if he was public, I'd call him a snitch. Like, he's a snitch. Red carpet. I didn't like that. I never liked that he told him I'm puffed.  I ain't got nothing to do with it, but I just, I ain't like it. You know what I mean? So get out of here. So anyway, word. So as me and him, I got into him before, you know, I smacked him before, right? So we talked about that, but regardless, so now I see him, and he like, we took care of you anyway, and I start talking about how he's a rat. So he kind of stepped in me, but the white girl starts decking him. Boop! Boop!   And then the girl grab the girl was like, um, she was like, you better get your man, bitch, right? So I'm like, you know, bugging, right? Like, chill out. And then Rocky runs up to Steve and he pushes her on the floor, and the police was around the corner, and I was always like, yo, it's like a toll on and also he was the dude that got the lawyer for when Jay stabbed. So Steve got the lawyer for and be hanging out with Jay.  You know what I mean? So I always thought the way about it. But so I'm like, yo, he just pushed the girl on the floor. So I'm like, oh, you going to jail?    I was like, y'all not going to lock that thing up? I wasn't telling him, I was, they was saying is the girl, he just pushed me. So I'm like, I ain't even going to say nothing. I'm just laughing. I'm like, you getting locked up. And he had to give us 10,000 for that because he pushed Rocky. He asked him about it. So he had to, he had to give Rocky 10,000. So with that 10,000, we bought a dog and computers. We bought the dog dust cover. So thanks, Steve. Because I was going to sue him. I was like, nah, I got a lawyer. Because he had did it to us. I was like, so you're going to pay her and plus he had pushed Rocky. So I was like, that's my girl, Rocky. Okay, okay.   He doesn't tell that story. Sending the wire information. No. That should happen. Thanks. I wish I had that on tape. I remember what I had on. I had the Jets had on. But it was a currency Jets had. I had some show tour adidas and some satin adidas pants. I had the white with the V. I had the gazelles on. I was like, I'm about to showcase. You feel me?  So yeah, I don't know why I never told us that.   I try to tape everything. You know, I smoke.   Why were you like that though? Just tape it. Because I knew it. It doesn't make sense not to. If you're confident, you know, like right now I know we making history, right? I'm going to make history. I wake up and know that everything I'm going to do is make it before this historic as well. But definitely right now because of CPM is the more content you have. Like when I was walking around with a camera, everybody was saying I was extra. I was extra dame because I had cameras all the time. But I got everything taped. Everything.  I got the big VHS tapes. I got everything taped. Everything. You don't go.   I'm not trying. I just don't have time. I should watch it. I'm bugging. Again, I'm not really so worried about my past so much that if like I was fucked up, then I'd be like, yo, let's me got a bug. But again, what I did I would put it on another platform. Now that I got my own platform, paid in full.   You know, I haven't made those Desperado moves yet. But I always have that if I got to. You know what I mean? I ain't got nothing. Congratulations. Congratulations.  You don't even know what I got in the curtain. I can show you all. That's nothing. That's nothing. I have everything. Everything you said made sense.  But if the CEO I'm round with my CEO, man. I'm just round with my CEO, man. He ain't saying nothing wrong even though you probably don't like it.  There's a couple of names I said that aren't gonna like it. But you know this when they do interviews now, they don't even, they, they see what Leo does at the interview.  Now they're trying to talk CPMs. And that's cool. I want them to change their language. Yeah, I know that you're having meetings about me. So you can tell that when he does his interviews, don't bring up Damon Dash. And I don't know why nobody asked him no questions about me. He told him not to. Here's the thing. There's always rap beef pause and they glorify that. I have CEO beef pause. I'm not talking with no rapper. I want to see, I want, I want Leo. I'm not going, he's not from my culture. So I'm not going to punish nobody from my culture except Steve South just because he conspired.  And he's the main, he took my business model, raised money in his corporate still. You feel what I'm saying? And then he had to call me and say sorry.  And I'm like, now I'm mad again. We ain't, I'm not fighting or nothing, but we going to tell the truth.    Let's take it at another level. My family's money. But the thing about it is my kids, I always make sure my children was me and theirs. They never had this, ever not. So while I'm compromising, I always make sure they mothers like Rachel had a company with that's all another story. But they all had, you know, they all live and go to schools with everybody that got billions. So they ain't that, and that's all that matters. So to me, I'm like, long as y'all good, I could go hand. And I just love the bed at all. I don't know why. I can't hold a dollar. It's all them things.  You got love with a hustler. I was never an adult and not been a man there. I don't know what it is to be an adult and not be a man there, but I know it is not to be a man there. You feel what I'm saying? So I appreciate it more. But I made my money relatively quick again.  I had it in like 15 years. I was done by the time I was 35. I was done.  Look at it. Everybody breath stink. And for real. And it's just I'm not, it's not a real model. I'm not, it's nobody's a boss. Right. There ain't no real money. Like I sold the company. I didn't make, yo, we sold Rockefeller.  I never, I never looked at that money from Rockefeller. I never, ever saw it. I never wasn't like I was always behind the eight ball cause I always dreamed big. So again, I always said like, yo, my bills are a hundred thousand a month. And I only made 90. I'm 10 short. I'm broke. But I still made 80 that month. But Niggas will still say you know, he was late. You know what I mean? So that's what my life's always been. But like my bills be like four 50 a month.  But that's the game and publicly with no, with no, with, with, with no fun or no no credit, nothing, no credit tax problems. I'm like, yeah, you know, I'm, I'm you know, Drew was saying it earlier.  And first I lack, I'm like, it's literally a comeback. I'm like, I guess it is. I just looked at it like that. I just looked at it like I'm doing my own thing. Yeah. But yeah, I'm getting ready for the comeback of the century. The network come back, but I never had a network.  But definitely the clothing, the sneakers and the music and the books is not a comeback. I wasn't doing that before. And you know, curriculum. Let me write which one sneakers. We can make a sneaker. You can make one anytime you want. Yeah. We can design it real quick. I can show you. I don't want to go through them that way. You don't have to.  Yeah, easy that wall.   Yeah, but your bottom line will come with that. You got to push it and do the show. Yeah, I'm winning the one. I'm a general. I'm a soldier, too, though. I get it. I know.  Y'all got all got on your clothes. Like, hey, you know, y'all everybody working here. It's a good I'm impressed. You're going to make a lot of money. Because nobody has this. So y'all first. Or people have it, but they see what y'all have is you have talent. So you don't have to pay nobody.  I didn't have to pay Kevin Hart really for paper soldiers or for the death of a dynasty.  It's like, now you bottle service.  You understand what I'm saying? So y'all be the king to audition. Y'all too can make movies in here all day. I don't know what just like tomorrow. Y'all can make one with these cameras and y'all got sound lights, location and talent and all these people. I'm going to show you how to do it.  We got three of them. Joe. Where you at, Joe? There you go. Joe, where's your bro? Joe said he's not a DP. He's a DP. He controls the mother fuckers there. That's not a DP. A DP is behind the camera. Director of photography. Yeah, but they're not there. No, but that's just his second job.  I didn't ask that.  It's a trick question. He tells them all the shots. Can I ask a question? Are you a DP? You're not a DP, right? I don't care. I'm not judging you. If you do this.  Stop acting like we don't know what we're doing. Right. I mean, what's your favorite lens? I'm a cook lens. Cooks anamorphic. So you should direct. I do. Listen, I'm trying to say, listen to what I'm saying. For certain things like for... For... For American Nu, I'm not the CEO of that company. And the reason why is because I don't understand ad technology. So Prophecy is the CEO because he understands he built the technology. He runs the money. If you're going to get an operation, you want a real doctor. So...


Behind the Scenes with Berkshire Hathaway Billionaire Charlie Munger revised by Janet Lowe. Narrated by Tom Parks. FORWARD Late in the summer of 1991 I appeared before a House subcommittee chaired by Congressman Ed Markey to answer questions about the Salomon scandal. The hearing room was piled high with TV and print reporters, and I was more than a little nervous when Chairman Markey led off with his first question. He wanted to know whether the reprehensible behavior that had occurred at Salomon was characteristic of Wall Street, or rather, as he put it, sui generis. Normally I would have panicked at the introduction of such a strange-sounding term. In high school I barely made it through elementary Spanish and never came close to Latin. But I had no trouble with sui generis. After all, I knew a walking, talking example. Charlie Munger, my long-time friend and partner. Charlie truly is one of a kind. I recognized that in 1959 when I first met him, and I have been discovering unique qualities in him ever since. Anyone who has had even the briefest contact with Charlie would tell you the same. But usually they would be thinking of his, shall we say, behavioral style. Miss Manners clearly would need to do a lot of work on Charlie before she could grant him a diploma. To me, however, what makes Charlie special is his character. It's true that his mind is breathtaking. He's as bright as any person I've ever met, and at 76 still has a memory I would kill for. He was born, though, with these abilities. It's how he has elected to use them that makes me regard him so highly. In forty-one years I have never seen Charlie try to take advantage of anyone, nor have I seen him claim the least bit of credit for anything that he didn't do. In fact, I've witnessed exactly the opposite. He has knowingly let me and others have the better end of a deal. And he has also always shouldered more than his share of the blame when things go wrong, and accepted less than his share of credit when the reverse has been true. He is generous in the deepest sense, and never lets ego interfere with rationality. Unlike most individuals who hunger for the world's approval, Charlie judges himself entirely by an inner scorecard, and he is a tough grader. On Business Matters, Charlie and I agree a very high percentage of the time. Sample complete. Ready to continue?


If you get it, you win. Okay, stop talking. Okay, see, stop talking. Suppose we have one molecular formula, CT-H6O. This molecule, you see. Can you write down the structure? Can you write down the structure of this molecule? What is the structure of this? What is the structure of this one? Something's missing. So what is the cycle of the molecule? The total takes one of them is an O. Cyclic? Cyclic with three carbons and one O. Possible? No, what is the O we like outside the ring? I mean, it works. How many structures are possible? How many structures are possible? No, it can't be. No, it can't be. How many structures are possible? Harris, what does that mean? Keep it inside. What is the structure possible for this? So it has two, like Keto and Icy. Keto and Icy, how do you know that? How do you know that? C2H5CH2. As a TOU, we can calculate. Oh yeah. We can calculate TOU degree of unsaturations. What is TOU for this? It's a... It's a... You don't work even if you have an O. Yeah, we don't count that often. So it's worthless only for ring and double bonds? Yeah. It gives you the number of unsaturations actually. Ring is also kind of unsaturated. What is DOU? Katanya? Abhinav? Harris? No. You don't even want to think also. Okay. We have two different structures possible for this. Okay. If I talk about the acyclic structure. The one is we can write CS3, C double bond O and CS3. Right. You see the molecular formula is in C3 and C4. Another one, you can also write CS3, CS2, C double bond O. Okay. These two structures are possible. Even if I take this one, C2H6O. For this also two different structures possible. One is alcohol, CS3, CS2, OH. And other one is ether, which is CS3O, CS3. Correct. Right. So the point is these two molecules are entirely different molecules. One will have alcohol, sorry, ketone as a functional group. And this is anti-hyde as a functional group. Right. So obviously the two different molecules we have a different functional group. So their physical and chemical properties will also be different. Right. But their molecule formula is same. Right. So we can write this molecule as two different structures. One is ketone. Other one is anti-hyde. This molecule we can also write as two different molecules, which is alcohol and ether. So these kind of molecules are. So for the fossil, what's wrong with the cyclic thing? You can draw cyclic also. This is also fine. If you take this one. No. This is also fine. You can draw the possible structure is this. Okay. But I am talking about, I guess, with DOU it gives you one. So one gives you only two possible ways. So one ring we have to do is what? Ring is, one DOU means what? You can have one pi one. Or one ring. One pi one or one ring. In this one pi one, one pi one. This structure is possible. It's not wrong. So with oxygen, is DOU's formula the same one? Yes. You just keep oxygen as another carbon. Yes. Just you neglect oxygen. Just you take it as carbon, hydrogen, halogen, nitrogen. If oxygen is present, ignore that. It's not required. So what was the formula? C plus one minus H plus X minus one by two. DOC might have done it wrong. You are saying H is written in capital. H plus X minus one minus N. Minus N. Wait. H plus X minus N divided by two. Okay. This is the start of the deal. So in DOC, you have to give it a formula. So in the chemical formula, you have to give it a formula. I used to give it a formula. No, sir. Okay. This is the formula. For this one, if you calculate DOU, you will get zero. That's why I have drawn the structure where there is no pi bond present. One is alko, another one is either. Right? So this gives you an idea that whether we have double bond present or not in the molecule. Correct? So these molecules, which has the same molecular formula, but they are different. But they are, you know, physical and chemical properties are different. So these kind of molecules, we call it as isomers of each other. Right? Isomerism is what? Isomerism is a phenomenon. In which a given molecule can exist in two different structural units. Right? Two different structural formula. Correct? So these are the isomers of each other. Isomers, we always define in a pair. We cannot say this molecule is isomer. It's not possible. This is the isomer of this. This is the isomer of this or vice versa, we can say. Okay? Right on isomerism, it is a phenomenon. It is a phenomenon in which a given molecule, a given molecule can represent can represent into, can be represented into two or more, two or more structural unit, two or more structural unit in which their physical and chemical properties are different. In which their physical and chemical properties are different. Next slide. All these different structural units, all these different structural units are called isomers of each other. Example right now, these two examples are right now. Are called isomers of the classification. These two examples are right now. Two types of, two major classification we have in isomerism. One is structural, structural isomerism and other one is stereo isomerism. You have done this chapter in the school. Finished. No, isomerism, one of the things you have done is isomerism. You have done and confirmation? No. Structural isomerism for the classified into five or six different. The first one is chain isomerism. The second one is positional isomerism, functional isomerism, then we have metamerism. Next one we have ring chain and the last one are tautomers, tautomers. Tautomers is very important for competitive examiners. We leave whatever you see, tautomers is very important. All these, these are very basic. You have definitions, examples. Sometimes they ask me the question, these two molecules are, shows what kind of isomerism. Chain positional and also definition if you know you can find it. This is one part of structural or part of isomerism. Stereo isomerism again classified into categories. That is, configuration and confirmation. Configurational again we have two types, that is geometrical, geometrical and optical. Basically for exam point of view, tautomerism is very important, geometrical, optical, confirmation, all these are important. Optical isomerism is there in a chapter in 12th standard that is coordination compound. Geometrical, optical we have there also. So usually what they do, they mix the concept here and the coordination compound, the chapter will do in 12th standard. They mix the two concepts in the last question. Last year we JMA Equations were there. That is why this chapter is very important because this application is again there in 12th standard. So we will discuss all these first and then it is geometrical, optical and confirmation. See confirmation isomers are what? I will just give you a little bit of idea. Geometrical isomerism is because of unsaturation present in the molecule. For example, suppose if I draw this molecule C double bond C, Cs3H, Cs3H. What is the name of this compound? If I ask you write down the structure of but2n, write down this structure or you write down this structure. Both the structures are different. Why they are different in nature? Whatever distance we have here between the two methyl group is suppose we have L1 and here it is L2. So this L2 is greater than L1. Now because of this difference in the distance between the two methyl group, what happens that the steric hindrance if you consider here, it will be more than this because two bulky group if it is close more hindrance will be there. If it is far apart the hindrance will be less. So here the hindrance is less, here the hindrance is more. So stability factor if you consider this one is more stable because of better packing and less hindrance. Trans molecule will already have better packing. That's why they have more bending point also. All these properties we will see later. But this is geometrical isomerism. Geometrical isomers because of unsaturation double bond. Why these two molecules are different because we have hindered rotation over here. We cannot rotate C, if you rotate this carbon atom this way you will get this compound. But this rotation is not possible and why it is not possible? Because this pi bond forms because of lateral overlap. Suppose this is a sigma bond we have and pi bond forms like this. This overlap is pi bond. If you want to rotate one of the carbon atom you have to break this pi bond which is not possible. You cannot break the bond. So this molecule is different, this molecule is different. Because this rotation is hindered because of pi bond. But if you write this compound C H single bond C H, C H 3 H, C H 3 H. And this one is C H single bond C H, C H 3, C H 3 H. These two compounds are same or different? Same compound. However this C H is in this side but we have a single bond here. So rotation is not hindered. We can rotate all of the carbon atom. So these two compounds are exactly same compound because they have one single constant. So how do we know when there will be interference and then we will have a hydrogen bond form. Like in the first case with lesser distance. Can't we say that hydrogen might take an electron and give an electron. But that's only with electronegative element right? Hydrogen bond is possible when hydrogen atom is bonded with the electronegative element like chlorine, oxygen and nitrogen. Mainly these three. To some extent it's chlorine also it is possible. It's sulphur also it is possible. So here there is no hydrogen bond.  The condition you provide. So we always take an electron and give it. None of the compounds will be stable there. So it's not possible. Again, it's not possible. It's a story. I'm telling you that story. This one time we were watching a movie. First if you see the movie you'll understand 50% of them. So then you have this 60%, 70%. That's why for competitive exam. Organic chemistry you have to finish twice. That's when you have to do it. So first time you have to take it as a virtual story. You feel like you understand everything. But when you get the question, you get the answer. So it's not that easy. Because acceptance or the way of approach the subject. That is very different from the physical chemistry. So that is very important. So the point is it's not like hydrogen will take an electron and bond. We have solvent, temperature, reaction condition, everything is there. So this is geometrical isomerism because of double bond. Optical is the behavior of a molecule towards plane polarized light. What is plane polarized light? I'll discuss that in detail. But the molecule has a nature when the plane polarized passes through a molecule. It either rotates in clockwise or anti-clockwise. Suppose light is going through the molecule. It deviates either in this direction or in this direction. So when deviation is there, the molecule is said to be optically active. There are molecules through which if the light passes, it comes out without any deflection. So those molecules are what? Optically inactive. Optical activity is the behavior of a molecule towards TPL, plane polarized light. If the question you get in the exam is whether this molecule is optically active or not. You won't do this experiment. Why don't you go to your lab and perform the experiment and check whether deviation is there. It's not possible. So there is a definition. How to find out whether the given molecule is optically active or not. We have a different way. We will see how to do that. Conformational isomers is again the rotation of one carbon atom across carbon-carbon single bonds. When you rotate this, the relative distance of methyl-methyl group or hydrogen-hydrogen will change. Suppose we have two methyl groups present like this. Exactly opposite to each other. Now when you rotate this, the distance of the methyl group is changing. So it keeps on increasing and increasing and then decreases. So when this distance changes, this alters the property of the molecule also. So same molecule with different properties with this rotation. We call it as conformers of each other or conformational isomers. So all these three things are very important. Studio isomers is more important in this chapter. We will discuss all these things later. So first we will see this. Sir, so those top two compounds with the single bond and it rotates. Those are not the same compounds because they are conformational isomers. In this one, we have taken the same, this position and this position. If you see, their property will be same because the alkane, their dipole moment will be zero. Relative distance will also be same. When I do this in the detail, you will understand. CS3 will be the same. So when we do this in the detail, you will understand that compound is same. But when you change the position of CS3, their position will be different. Here I am not changing the position. I am just giving you a molecule. But in alkane, we can define conformational isomers. We can define conformational isomers in alkane. We have this example. Conformational isomers are ethane, propane, butane one is the most important one. We will get four different conformers over there that we will discuss.


Good morning, John. I don't even know if you know this about me, but I have a condition. It's called sleep paralysis. It's very common, and it's when you wake up and you can't move. This usually happens after I've had a particularly intense dream, and it's only ever a couple of seconds for me. And I woke up in the middle of the night last night after having a dream in which Catherine got double pregnant. I don't know if you know about double pregnancy, but according to my dream anyway, it's where a woman who is already pregnant gets pregnant again. And then there's two babies. There's an older one and a younger one, and the woman has the first baby, and the other one sticks around, and she's still pregnant for even longer. Which I assume is an anxiety dream, but it does actually make me want to check something out real quick here. 🎵 Ah! You can! It's a real- it exists! I thought I was making a joke, you guys! It's called superfetation, and it's when your body accidentally releases another egg, and then that egg gets fertilized, and if it's early enough in the pregnancy, both of the eggs can become babies. Born at the same time, but different ages gestationally. What? What? Oh man, double pregnant! But anyway, so I wake up from this dream, I can't move, I'm a little bit confused about where exactly I am because I'm on the wrong side of the bed, but then my movement comes back, except for the first time in my life, one arm, my right arm, does not come back, and this does not mesh with what I understand about sleep paralysis. I'm a little bit freaking out, and I reach over to see, and here's what's happening. During my weird double pregnancy dream, I have done this. Just shoved my arm down my pants. So that's why I couldn't move it. Let's talk about pants. New topic. Now, as I was reading the comments on your most recent video, I noticed I had a couple of thoughts. First, yeah, our outfits. So you may have noticed, you may not have, that for two weeks in a row, John and I wore the same outfits, not as each other.  That's embarrassing. Except, of course, with 250,000 people watching. There were conspiracy theories about this, that John and I had both pre-taped videos, and now we're off on some secret adventure thing. No, in fact, and now it is the third week of us wearing the same outfits. The first two weeks, actually, this is the case, though it seems unlikely. We did not do that on purpose. John wore the same shirt, two videos in a row. I wore the same shirt and jacket, two videos in a row. This week, we did it just to continue messing with you. So, sorry about that. Another thing I was really struck by in the comments of your video, is how many people don't know about all the stuff that we do. And of course, because we've done a lot of things over the last 10 years, and we're currently doing a lot of things. We got VidCon in Europe, Australia, and California coming up. We're working on a new SciShow channel with the topic to be chosen by Patreon patrons. A 10th anniversary nerdcon nerdfighteria to plan a wife to kill and gilder to frame for it. I'm not actually killing my wife, I was a Princess Bride reference. Building how to vote, continuing Dear Hank and John, occasionally Snapchatting. Helping found the Internet Creators Guild, which has done a great job of explaining why the demonetization thing isn't the end of YouTube, isn't the end of everything. If you want to read about that, there's a link in the description. It reminds me, as I tend to be reminded about once a year, that I don't always understand this community as well as I could. And the first time I realized that is when we created the first nerdfighteria census in 2013. And I realized now that maybe I'm having this sensation because it's been another year since there's been a census, and I haven't done another one, and so yes, it is time! I spent the five hours before recording this video, putting together the nerdfighteria census for 2016. It's a pretty involved survey, there are lots of questions. We want to get a really good, deep understanding of the people in this community so that we know better what to create, what you want from us, and what we should do together. It's hugely important to me and to John, and it's very important for this community. If you have the time to go take the census, please, please do. It's much appreciated. John, I'll see you on Tuesday. Double the pregnant, double the fun, link to the census in the description.
