They was calling offering million dollar deals like within two weeks. So I'm thinking in my head, like, oh my gosh, I'm about to be rich. I'm thinking, I'm like, man, I'm about to move out my parents' crib. Yeah. And then everything changed like that. The One More Time Music Podcast. Genuine Conversations with Genuine People.

Welcoming in on episode number 32. 32 of the One More Time Podcast. You know him from classic projects such as Welcome to the Zoo and Don't Feed the Animals, it's Gorilla Zoe. G Zo.

Man, I had such a gorilla Zoe phase. You were my favorite artist for like six months. Hey. It's an honor. In all seriousness, folks, we have the legendary uh manager and AR, Fabo. Fabo. We appreciate you coming on, man. Appreciate y'all. So Fabo was actually recommended by one of our previous guests, Woe. So shout out Woe. Shout out, Woe. We always like having recommendations for like next guests to have on because if we thought that the first person was cool enough, and then they say that someone else is cool enough to come on, it's like it's a no-brainer. Feeds itself, it's a beautiful thing. Yep. So definitely appreciate you coming on, man. We're gonna dive right in. So hip hop was playing around the house at a pretty early age for you. Yeah. You know, based you know, based on what I heard. How early did you memorize the lyrics to OPP? Shit. Oh. Such a specific question. Very specific. I don't remember. Probably like four, four.

Four years old. The rumor has it that you were about two years old. Uh rapping OPP. Wow. Of course you didn't know what the uh OPP actually meant. Yeah, I don't even think I still remember. I don't know what OPP is to this day. Other people's pussy. Just to get it out there. Other people's pussy. Damn, never knew that. Talking about, you know. I was rapping that thing. Yeah. That's why I was like, man, you know, your mom may or may not have been ashamed of that one, but the truth came out that she probably don't even know. She put you, she might not. might not know what it means still. Don't tell her. Don't ruin it for her. She can't. She going to see this and find out. Oh man. Yeah. Shout out mama. Shout out. Um well, so yeah, obviously, you know, you lived in a couple places, but you ended up, you know, for your high school years moving to Alabama. Right. Um, which would of course become a big part of your story. Correct. you know, early on, you were doing a little rap group, but really that wasn't your thing. Like you weren't trying to be a rapper. You got your start doing parties.

Yeah, well, I ain't gonna lie. I thought I really nah, I didn't think I was gonna be a rapper. Everyone thought Everyone in the music industry at one point, like for a second. I was gonna be a rapper. That's how it starts. Like everybody tried at least once. Every manager. I'm afraid to admit I I did as well. See, there you go. We've all done a recorder. Yeah, yeah. But parties was was kind of how you got your start, I would say. I mean, tell us about that eighth grade birthday party, my guy. Yeah, I threw a um a party in eighth grade in my basement. Okay. It was supposed to be a small party. Supposed to be. And then I like invited the whole school. And that shit was paid. It was done. And, and, and he did not just verbally invite them. I mean, you like Some guerrilla marketing. flyers and everything. Like this guy was promoting his eighth grade birthday party like it was like it was like an arena event. Yeah, that's fire. Like all my flyers I ever did growing up, they reached like principals and teachers' lounges. Wow. And they called my parents like, is this really finna happen? Like the whole school talking about it. Is there gonna be appropriate chaperones here?

It's not the kind of press you want, but Man. it did pack the basement out. How was that party? That's actually charged. It was jumping. Right. Shit. Five bucks at the door. Man, made a killing. But so you would go on to charge people for parties. So yeah, so that was kind of like your first entrepreneurial. Yeah, I didn't even realize it then. I was just doing it for fun. Yeah. But you were official about it. Yeah. Well, I mean, in St. Louis, house parties was like the thing. Like everybody was having house parties. So I was like, Shit. I think I could do it. Then when I moved to Alabama, nobody was having any parties. Wow. Like in high school and then like that. So I was like, all right, I'm gonna make some money. There's a window of opportunity here. Definitely. Yeah, but you like started a business checking account and shit. Like you were like official about this, like party. Then my homeboy, uh Ryan Williams. Shout out to Ryan. Shout out to Ryan. My homeboy, he was kind of like the business side of it. And I was like the people person, go out and market.

It's crazy. So like he sometimes really couldn't come to the parties, but he would be doing like the marketing side and and like the business, talking to the people, going get the venues. Like we we got um the Marriott Hotel, we was like 16, 17. Wow. We're not supposed to be renting out the Marriott. Nah. like we was, I think we lied or something. I don't know how we got it. I'm sure you did finesse. But we yeah, we ended up getting the Marriott. We said it was like a birthday party. We I think we lied about our age and everything. We ended up renting it out, and then the SWAT team shut it down. No way. Yeah, because I mean it was like one in, one out, like parking lot full, right? We was charging like a hundred dollars to get in. Damn the last 30 minutes before like the police came and busted out. Damn. I was telling my dad, a hundred dollars to get in, a hundred dollars to get in. He was like, all right. They was paying it. It was like college kids at uh high school parties.

That's crazy. Shout out to the kids that uh paid $100 to get in, and then it got shut down right after. Man, they still talk about them parties to this day. Like probably legendary, yeah. I mean I definitely remember a couple of like epic. I mean, these were just house parties, not at hotels, even. So I can't imagine what people were talking about. In the ballroom. Pack out the ballroom? Yeah, yeah. Man, that's crazy. We definitely fucked it up for the rest of the kids. Like, you could never have a hotel party in Birmingham. It's over with the Marriott official policy changed after that day. Definitely. They were doing interviews before you were allowed to actually, you know, they were checking IDs and like every party I ever threw. I had to change venues. Like, wow. And then pretty soon I what because you weren't welcome back. Man, look, It got so bad to the point I went to the damn skating rink. Oh, wow. Yeah. Hey, but the skating rink's kind of a hard venue. Yeah, yeah, they shut that shit down too. Like, oh my god. Yeah, we packed that out too. So that's funny.

So you go from parties to promoting shows. So that was Concerts. Yeah. exactly concerts. Yep. And so what was your approach, right? Like, did you know anything about like putting on shows? Like concerts? Not really, but my homeboy um Pooh, shout out to Pooh. Shout out to Pooh. Shout out Pooh. Yeah, his um, me and him just came together and we was like, bro, like we used to go to the club sometimes and see artists. I was like, we can do this shit. So his pops invested in my pops, invested and then we was just bringing artists. But like how are you like networking with the artist? Were you hitting up like managers? I was just working on Instagram, and just same thing I do now. Like as an artist, just go to the Instagram. It's easier now, but back then I was just go find an email, email them, yo, I'm trying to book you for a show. They'll tell me the price. I just run with the pricing. Yeah, I feel like you did a good job of like kind of maybe foreshadowing your AR skills. Like you knew kind of who was who was bubbling, who was but weren't maybe charging the like crazy premium price tag. Like 15, 20. Yeah, like I done brought Dolph. Shout out to Dolph

Yeah. Yeah, brought Dolph, Tee Grizzly, man, a lot of people, Gucci man. Like, this is all Went from Gucci first. Didn't you do Uzi? Yeah, Did you do Uzi? I brought Uzi Vert. That shit was crazy. Like before anybody really knew who he was, like he was going crazy. Like, yeah. Yeah, that's hard. That was the first and last time he ever been to Birmingham. It's not happening now. Never been back. He probably can't even afford. Yeah. But Uzi back to Birmingham. Yeah. Like, unless he do a tour, yeah, He's not coming back. That's true. What were some of like the lessons learned, or I guess maybe some of the things that you look back on like the the concert days, and you think, like, damn, like I really learned, you know, this, or from from those experiences. What are some things you kind of took away from that? Uh just because you're hot in another city, or just because I like you, don't mean it's the proper artist to bring to that city. Gem. I learned that the hard way, man.

Yeah, yeah. I because I put on concerts too. That was kind of how I got my first, you know, exposure into music. And man, I was the biggest Wale fan ever. Yeah, brought him to Clemson University. They didn't know who the fuck this guy was. Thankfully, we still sold like 1500 tickets, which was insane. But you know, it was a it was a 5,000 cap venue, right? So I got something worse than that. We brought Tee Grizzly for 20,000. Yep. And like eight people showed up. Oh. I would have loved to be at that show. Man, it was so bad. They had to feel like they were in VIP. my homeboy Pops just bought him a ticket back to Detroit. Wow. Like he was like, Don't even show up to the venue. Here, here go a flight. Wow. So he didn't even show. He paid him all his money, but still. I know, but yeah. He was like, Don't even come, like it was pointless. You were embarrassed. Yeah. Damn. Very embarrassed. that's crazy, man. And now he's a Twitch streamer. That was probably the worst one. Yeah. Yeah. And and so, you know, while you're putting on shows, were you actively searching for artists? Nah.

Okay. How does it happen then? Like how Yeah. So how does the first management we brought Blac Youngsta and what's his name? Oh man goddamn. What's this? Famous Dex. Mm-hmm. Oh man. Goddamn. It's called Sloth First, but Famous Dex didn't show up. Damn famous. We still want our money famous Dex. Come on, Dex. Famous Dex. Despite that, we'd still love to have it on the podcast. my guy. We're gonna talk about this story if we have it. But pay Fabo first. Definitely. But um, but yeah, so the concert went really well. So um I had like a high school promotion team and a college promotion team. So like street teams, yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. So for the high schoolers, I was like, yo, y'all did pretty good. Let's um, let's have your own party. Let's have a glow party. And they was like, all right, cool. I was like, let me think of ways to promote this shit. So I was like, um, can anybody find some like high school rappers? Like, if we let them perform, maybe they'll just promote it for me. And then like we can put tickets in each of the schools and pack out this place that we was having it at.

It was like a bigger venue. It wasn't a club, it was just like a concert hall. Yeah. So um, they couldn't find no damn body. And I was just scrolling on Instagram. Matter of fact, I'm gonna just show you this. So nobody think I'm capping. This is a no cap podcast. Cap free zone. I was on the page page, and um I was scrolling on Instagram and I seen this kid, and he was just rapping, and I scrolled past it. I was like, he sounded like he's from Cali. I was like, I'm gonna keep going. But I know everybody on my page is from Birmingham. So I went back, I was like, hold on. Went back, and it was YBN. I'm here. But his name was um something 205, I forgot. Anyways, I texted him, I said, Where you from, little bro? He's like, Birmingham. I was like, oh shit, hit my line. Instantly, I told him to hit me. Wow. But when we can confirm, yeah. When I hit him, I'll zoom in on the Henry always offers up my amazing editing skills as if I'm that good.

But yeah. When I hit him, I wanted him just to perform at the party. I was like, bro, you hard, bro. He had a different sound. than you were used to. Perform before? And he was like, no, I never did a concert before. I did like one. But it was like it was some bullshit. I was like, for real? I was like, shit, you need to come perform. I was like, send me the song. He sent me rubbing off the paint. I played that shit. I remember I was in the car at the gas station. I was like, you know, yo, I mean I was like, oh shit. This is the one. I'm like, is this out? He's like, nah. I was like, bro, you gotta shoot a video to this ASAP. So then he hit this kid named Um Evan up, water whipping Evan. Um the cameraman, he's pretty famous now. And he was like, um, I need to shoot a video. I think Evan shot the video for like 300. Wow. Shout out to Evan in the backyard. Man, that's gonna go into a whole nother story. But yeah, that's that's how I got into it. So he so he hits you up. So does he do the concert as well that you're trying to put on?

The crazy thing is, he blew up so fast. He did come to the concert. Yeah, it's footage on the internet. Okay, but I mean, yeah, he performed. Okay, but he was already famous. And so did the management thing, like, just because you recommended, yo, you're you're dope, you gotta shoot a video. How did it? Yeah, he asked me, like, all right. So I told him to shoot the video and all that, and I was just like, bro, you can go places with this shit. He was like, for real? Like, he didn't really believe in it. I'm like, bro, I'm telling you, shoot the video, let's do this. I was just guiding him, and he was like, I don't got a manager. Can you be my manager? I was like, I don't know shit about this, but let's run it. But you're already accidentally kind of doing management managerial things. I was already doing stuff. Yeah, just so I'm like, let's do it. So um, yeah, we got the video shot and everything, and then we put out the snippet. He was already big on Xbox, like he had a Grand Theft Auto game. That's what the YBN shit was. So, like, it was people in like Detroit, LA. They all was on a game together. Okay.

So when he sent the, he had a group chat with him. So when he was like, Yo, we're finna drop this song, it dropped in every region. Because you know, everybody was posting it in different regions. He used his Xbox community. Yeah, yeah. Grand Theft Auto Gang. Yeah, so man. So it was a so it didn't just drop some marketing. It didn't just drop in Birmingham experience. It dropped. Everywhere. Everywhere. Damn it. And the crazy thing about it is nobody knew he was from Birmingham, but like me and the people that went to school with him. Yeah, because even you thought he was from Cali, right? I thought he was from Cali. Yeah. So he lived in Birmingham. So and of course, Birmingham had no shine at this point. Nah, not really. No, not nobody. No, hell yeah. Like, nobody. Yeah. Nobody. Since then, of course, you know, we'll get into some of the people that have come out of the city, but um at that point, nah. Nobody. No one would have believed that this star was. Even when he was taking off, and when he was taking off, and I was calling people in Birmingham that I knew to help me, they didn't even really believe. It was like They're like, is this 205 number fake? Yeah, that's like He from Birmingham. Is this a robot?

Yeah. That's crazy. That's funny. So, you know, obviously, this is your first stint into management at that point. Right. You learned a lot, I think, right? And like two weeks. Yeah. Wow. Real quick. And so there's there's kind of this discrepancy between what people think management is and what it actually entails. So, like, a lot of us know maybe the you know, textbook definition of manager and like what they're supposed to do, but like you you got involved with a lot that maybe overstepped the like you know technical definition of manager, right? Yeah, what are some of those things that you were doing or that even your family was doing, right? That I wouldn't do right now. To support this artist, yeah, that you wouldn't do right now. Fair enough. Shit Man, because I mean a lot of people get it confused. They think management means like uh pay for this, pay for that, pay for this. Oh no. But that's not really I mean, you can, but I mean, I'm not obligated to pay for your studio time, pay for this or pay for that. Like, I'm here to guide you.

I'm your manager, management. If you don't got shit going on, I'm gonna manage. Right. You know what I'm saying? But I didn't know that. So I'm thinking like Management. pay for this, do this, do this, do this. So I was just using my re like my resources. I'm like hitting people up. Yo, I need studio time. Luckily, like my name was already big from the party, so they was like, I'm not gonna charge you. I got a lot of, I'm talking about like in Birmingham, like 95% of my success came from people just doing favors. Wow. But like now, I came back and I helped them people. And you know, since I'm in a position now, I get them paid. Yeah. But like uh everybody almost I worked with in the beginning, because I really didn't have no money like that to just be paying for shit. Yeah, they did it off the love. And all of them, most of them are successful right now. Damn. From like me coming back, help. Yeah, but so you were obviously paying for stuff, spending your own dollars. Right. You were, I mean, you were doing stuff like picking people up from work. Oh, yeah, I was picking. I mean. school work.

Yeah. Um, man, I think my mom even helped somebody, help Namir. Um, like with get like almost graduate. Like, she was like, because she's a counselor, so she was talking to his counselor. Like it was deep. Like, he was, like, I was getting probably a little too much um, like a little too close rather than keep it just business. Like, Nah. I just keep it business with the artists, like yo, this, this, this. I don't really try to get too personal. Cause like when you get a lot personal with a well, it depends what the artist is, like, it depends on the artist. But like, I try not to get personal with it because it'll always like turn. Like, can get messy. Yeah, or say, like an artist gets dropped or something, then it's like, mm-hmm. They looking at you like, why are you letting me thought we were friends? It ain't got shit to do with me. Yeah, like that was actually gonna be my next question as far as how do you balance like the personal versus the business? Because it seems like you didn't do a good job of that originally. Nah, you're now are you almost like 180 and like to the other extreme where you're like strictly business and you and you don't allow yourself to no? I still get personal because it's it's certain stuff like I don't allow, like they're not crashing on your couch.

No, like I'm not gonna let no artist do no fucked up deal. That's me as a person. Like I could let that shit slide for the money, yeah, but I don't personally do that. And luckily, the CEO I work for, he don't he don't do that shit no way. Yeah, shout out to Johnny Shipes, Shipes. If you're ever in Atlanta, we'd love to have you on the show, my guy. Seriously, Yeah. I'm gonna let him know. Yep. sure. But um, but yeah, like no fucked up deals. Like I don't believe in that. Well, no, he's been notorious to give like 50-50 deals and like really some crazy shit. artist favorable deals. Bad deals are like the worst thing in the industry. Yeah, I don't want no artists. come back looking at me like, damn, bro, you got me in this fucked up. I'm like, no, bro, you had the best opportunity ever. Yeah, yeah. You fucked it up. Yeah, and then even like letting artists go if they want to get out of deal, like he's done some things that like are not very traditional when you know people think of the labels and like how how big and bad they are with their deals, right? Like, he's he's been definitely on, you know.

That's why he win respected for that. Yeah, he that's why he's a winner. Yeah, I mean, like, if we don't want to do business together, what the fuck I'm gonna keep you for? Yeah, yeah, stupid. Exactly. True. You have to stay with me. Yeah, neither one of us wants to be here. Like, like come on. I think labels that do that, they just weird. Yeah, yeah. So obviously, you mentioned that you didn't really know the first thing about management, but you were just getting into it, so you end up asking for help. Yeah, I did. With with Namir, yeah. That ends up being a little bit of a yeah, I asked um learning lesson, I would say. Yeah, asked um this guy from Birmingham. Guns, I say his name, Guns. Yep. Ask Guns for help. He still went with uh with Nahmir. Um and we kind of got into it back then for the simple fact that we wasn't seeing eye to eye on shit. Yeah, like he wanted to do one thing, and I was like, no, that's not the best option. Pushing Namir in different directions. Yeah, and instead of instead of him like coming to me and we agree on one thing, he kind of like took him and just went and did his own thing.

And I went fucking with it. Yeah, and me being the type of person I am, I was just like, all right, bet, y'all gonna do y'all thing and leave me out of it. Yeah, like I probably could have still had a situation in in that, but it just wasn't it was fucked up. it's like the label staying in a deal you don't want to be in. Yeah, it was the same thing. Fucked up shit. Like I knew he was finna get in some fucked up shit. And he everybody over there knew it. Yeah, but I was like, I ain't being a part of this. So I stepped away. Yep, and so obviously, you know, that that relationship, you know, kind of you know, went away overnight almost, yeah. I mean, I mean, yeah, it was crazy. Like, yeah, how did you deal with it? I remember like I used to, I remember when it was like the relationship was got so close, like so fast, because like one minute I met him this week. We dropped a song, and then it hit like a million views on Facebook overnight, Jesus. and yeah, World Star call us and it hit three million in one day. So, like everything's going like this. We got CEOs like Kevin Lyles.

Everybody calling my phone, yeah. Um, like every I probably got every CEO number off of that situation. Wow. Which helped me, it helps me now. Right. Of course, but yeah, like they was calling, offering million dollar deals like within two weeks. That's wild. Damn. It really does move fast. So I'm thinking in my head, like, oh my gosh, I'm about to be rich. We did it. Like, we about to go. What's 20% of two? million. Okay. And then I'm adding everything up. I'm thinking, I'm like, man, I'm about to move out of my parents' crib. Yeah. And then everything changed like that. You just like, man, fuck this shit. So that's how I was. I was like, man, fuck this shit. I'm done. Shout out to you for walking away. Yeah. Did you want to quit? No, that's what I was gonna say. Not even that I walked away, but it was like I was done. Like when that happened, because I really thought I was like, oh, I found my career. Like, this is it. This is what I'm supposed to be doing. It all makes sense now. Parties, music, all this shit. Cause I always love music. Like I was the type of kid that would

ride in the car. You know, when they doing the little mixes, yeah. Like even to this day, I still do it. You know, They're mixing the instrumental, and I guess the song before the song. Love doing that. I'd be like, oh, oh, this song's gonna come on. Yeah, I could just hear the beat, and I know the song finna come on. So, you know, when that shit happened, I I remember I was downstairs in the living room with my dad, and I was like, man, I just broke out, I just broke down crying. I was like, fuck this shit. I was like, I ain't doing this shit no more. He's like, What's wrong? I'm like, man, all this going wrong. They not fucking with me no more. I was like, I lost my artist. I was like, man, fuck it. And he was like, um, just give it one more try. And I was like, all right, and then boom. Everything went up. So Pops gets the credit for that. Yeah, shout out to Pops. Shout out to the phone. Shout out Pops. Yeah, I mean, you definitely land on your two feet after that. Cause I mean, Not. not that long after you end up finding Zerk, right? Yeah.

Matter of fact, hey, hold on, I gotta go back reverse. I gotta tell this story for that. Okay. Let's do it. Before I lost YBN though, um, like when it was in the process of going before that, like before I came back home. Uh Dooney, you know, Dooney at the Lights Global, uh, Lil Pump. Okay, yeah. Of course. He signed Lil Pump. Okay, yeah. Yeah. Dooney wanted him, and he flew me to LA. Cause because they flew YBN to LA to sign. Yeah. And he didn't sign nothing yet. So Dooney was like, it was like five, it was like three in the morning. He was like, yo, you got a 5 a.m. flight to LA. I was like, oh I got to get to the airport. Never been to LA before. Yeah. So I flew to LA and then we did some crazy stuff. Like, we went to the same hotel Namir was at, went to the desk, finesse something, and they put me in a room right next to him. Wow. And he never knew I was right there. I'm talking about like, I see like the people who signed him and everything walking in the halls. Yeah.

And I'm just right there knocking on the door, and he never came out though. Wow. They had him like locked down. He was like on some weird shit. They wouldn't even let it. Like they knew I was there. They they found out I was there. They was like, stay in the room. I'm guessing like I don't know what type of stuff they was on. It was crazy. Shout out to you for that hustle, though. That's that real hustle. Man, Dooney flew me out there. I've been cool with him since. Like That's cool. I called Dooney right now, he'll pick up. Shout out Dooney. Dooney, hey, love to have you on the podcast. You already know my guy. So the the uh Zerk situation happened similar to Nahmir. Were you like fine. I was in LA. Oh. when they when they um when they told me um like I wasn't gonna like when he I seen a picture, they sent me a picture. It was like him holding the cash with uh Jimmy Nichols and um guns, and he was holding like the money like he signed, and they had the lawyers with him. I was like, fuck. And then that's when I was just like, man, all right. So I was just scrolling on the internet, and it was this kid named Zerk. He had a picture next to YBN. He was like, They say I'm next up, and I was like, fuck it.

Call I'm like get Zerk on the phone. Like I'm gonna make a s he had no music. You were just hungry at this point, no music. Yeah, he had no music. He had like one song on SoundCloud. I was at this point, I was like, I can blow anybody up. Yeah, like I just had that confidence. I was like, I can blow anybody up. Damn. And shit, I got him a deal. Yeah, so that's where your story starts with cinematic. Yeah. Tell us about how that relationship. I mean, did you have any ties to cinematic at that point? Or like how did that even relationship start? Uh this and our name Trophy, she's at Interscope now. Yeah. But the Trophy Life, that's her name. Yeah. Yeah, Trophy. She hit Zerk up, and then Zerk told me to talk to her. And then she was like, I want to sign him, blah, blah, blah. Sheites, blah, blah, blah. I was like, all right, cool. So then, yeah, we we flew to New York and and did the deal. Damn. Just like that. So just like that. I mean, at this point, it was just like, I was like, I just want to get him signed.

So how far, like, how did he how much work did you have to do from him having one song on SoundCloud to him getting the deal? Like, how long is that? It took like three or four months. That's it. That's it. Cause I we was just dropping, I was just using my resources, like Cam Cam, he was shooting the videos. Like Cam Cam pretty big now. He'd been shooting like young boys and everything. Like, yeah, like Cam Cam was shooting the videos for us for free. And then um we was just dropping like every week. And I was just that's a gem. Reaching out. Like, and then how like like back to how YBN got posted on Say Cheese and all that. So, so like Chris Brown on it. Yeah, I used to hit up Sean Cotton, you know, say cheese. I used to go on his page at like three or four in the morning. Like this how I was just building. I know I'm going back and forth, but that's fine. I used to hit his hit up his um page at like three or four in the morning because I figured everybody was asleep. Yeah, he'd be able to see my notification. Because nobody liking shit. Yeah. Cause I think that back then, like your notifications was like on the front. They were chronological, which they're bringing that back, by the way.

Yeah. So I used to be like, yo, DM me. He go, he's on fire. And then finally, like he he finally answered my message. Like, all right, bro, I'm gonna post it. I thought that, shit. I mean, yeah, you know, some people get posted for free and some people pay. But back then I thought everything was free. I'm like, oh yeah. He just gotta see him. So then once he um he reached out, he posted in like Chris Brown. Everybody started that like that's when they start going crazy. So shout out to Say Cheese, because he really got the free post promo. And he blew on the strength YBN shit up. Like wow, I feel like that's hard to do now. Oh, that's man, yeah. That's rare. So yeah, that's that's funny. That's how they had it. And then the 3-4 a.m. so that he notices you like a bunch of posts, so your name's on there a bunch. I know Sean now, so like he tells me like I seen that shit. Like that's definitely a nice gem for real. Yeah, yeah. That's cool. So you end up discovering another Alabama artist. A snippet as well, right?

Online was like, Yeah, little soldier, he had this little freestyle. Yeah, it was like um man, uh some bars, 16 bars, 32, something like that. I heard it and I called him. He was working at um Honda, some plant. Okay. Like the Honda plant, and I called him. I was like, yo, because I said to the Shiit's first, I was like, we gotta sign him ASAP. And Shipes was like, let's do it. Just like, just like that. Like he heard it. He was like, let's do it. He's hard. And then I called Tony. And it's crazy, because you could talk to any one of my artists. I call him and I be so hype about it. Like, I'm the type of person I speak shit into existence without it actually being true. But I believe that it's gonna happen. Yeah. So I feel like it's not lying because I end up doing it. Everything I ever said I was gonna do, I speak it, and then it ends up happening. Manifest. it might be like a little smaller, but it happens. So when I call a soldier, I told him a bunch of shit.

Yo, quit your job right now. No, literally, I told him, I said, you can call him right now. I said, yo, quit your job. We're going to New York, we're going to Miami. Because it was two people, Dooney was trying to sign him, and Shipes was. Yeah. So I told Shipes. I was like, yo, we're gonna go to New York, then we're gonna go to Miami. He thought I was playing. I was like, yo, I got your plane ticket, let's go. And he was like, bet. So he was just in New York, Miami. And then I was like, he like, bro, we gotta sign with somebody because I quit my job. Like, damn. a lot of pressure. I'm like, shit, let's do it. So that's how that happened. You don't tell the labels that though. Nah. Nah. It'll give him that leverage. So there was a little beef between Soldier and and YBN Namir. Oh yeah, man. I really think I don't really think it's no beef. No, but I think it was really at the time. Yeah, yeah. I think it was really because I wasn't fucking with them. And you know, my artists fuck with me. Yeah. And they know like this this type of shit I do for them. So they know I did that for him.

So they was just like, I can't fuck with that. And then YBN, I don't even really think it was him not wanting to fuck with his city. I think it was like his management didn't want to him to link with certain people from the city. They didn't understand that. Yeah, they don't they didn't understand that you need your city to go. Oh yeah. They thought they could just go. And you know it happens. You go fast. And then you gotta find somebody to fall back on. Mm-hmm. He didn't have a city to fall back on. So now he's doing what he's doing now. Yeah, but it wasn't like Soldier fired off like a nasty tweet or something. Nah. He took it. Man. I mean, he he like he made a diss track or two. I don't know. I'm pretty sure he made a diss track. He also shot a video. Oh wow. No, that was Zerk. That was Zerk. Oh, Zerk? Yeah, that wasn't that was Zerk. Yeah, Zerk Zerk did the video in his front yard. Okay, this story was crazy. Okay, so we got the artist twisted. But so Zerk Coming at YBN. Yeah. Shot a video outside of Namir's house. Real house. What?

Like outside of his home, his residence. Damn. Yeah. This and the diss track was the what happened with that was. Because that was, I thought I thought that was fucking crazy. I was like, damn. We was all at the studio, and his ex-girlfriend or something was out there fighting. And that's when YBN Jay was outside. This is all before they was famous now. And um, they got the all fighting at the studio, and Jay had did some stupid shit. And then um, well, he did that stupid shit. That's when YBN. I mean, that's when Zerk. Zerk was recording the whole thing, Zerk. and he was like, Man, these niggas getting hitting girls. And then um, like I think one of the YBN dudes hit a girl. And then that shit went viral, and then Namir came on the page. He was like, uh, delete that shit, bitch ass nigga. Oh, that's how the beef started between Zerk and uh Namir. And then again, it was probably all just because I mean I didn't have shit to do with that. They was recording that shit. So that's where it started.

And then Zerk was like, I'm gonna run with it. Bet, you wanna talk shit? He dropped the song and then shot the video. I don't know how he got the address and shit. I just was like, man, just be careful out there, artists. That sounded like, you know, I'm I don't know. I'm definitely all for some, you know, healthy, uh competitive uh, you know, hip-hop shit. But I was like, damn, that was a little Man. that was bold. That was bold. Yeah. Shout out to Zerk. Couldn't shoot no video outside my house. Right. Hell no. Don't try that again. So, you know, obviously you mentioned you got, you know, soldier signed to cinematic as well. Yeah. When did you formalize the relationship with cinematic? Were you already now? It was with Soldier. Okay. Because after I got Zerk, I was um, I did, I got sold, I mean, Soldier sign. And then I think that's when I was talking to Shipes, and I was like, yo, I need a position or something because I'm I'm gonna bring you more artists. Like, I was just telling him like I could do this.

Yeah, I do this shit easily. Like, I found him easily. And then he was just like, All right, let's do it. Like, I don't think Shipes ever told me no. That's the crazy thing. I feel like Shipes is just a legend. Yeah, sounds like so awesome. Definitely is, but yeah, like I guess he sees like the potential in me and seeing how hard I was going, that he just never really told me no. Like he said, I don't like all like he'd be like, I don't think we should sign that artist. But if you want to do it, we can do it. And I'd be like, nah, we don't need to do it. If you don't think so, nah, we good. But he's never like fought you on something No. That you felt really. No. No. No. like strongly. I probably can sign anybody, like I could probably go find a homeless person and be like, yo, Shipes, I'm gonna blow them up on this. Let's do it. We just need to give them some money. He'd be like, All right, he sees the potential in you. Definitely. He sees people. Definitely, yeah. So yeah, but after I signed Soldier, that's when he gave me a position. It was like management.

And then it was off from there. So did on the management side, did they provide you the clients to manage that were a part of their roster already? Circuit and Soldier. All right, so that was basically your. That was that was my client. And it was just, you know, I guess formalized through the cinematic umbrella at that point. Yeah, and they was getting like shows and shit. So I would just give percentage of that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay. And so then another Alabama artist. Yeah. You, you know, find Ye or Yevo found you. Or like how did the Yevo situation happen? First, um, one of my partners, Kato, Keith-O Kato. Shout out to Kato. Shout out. Uh he said that he actually sent me Yevo like a long time ago. But um, when he sent it, this was like earlier. Uh he was like, yo, this this kid hard. I'm fucking with him. I'm like, all right, bet. I'm like, cool. Cause I really don't like go look for artists unless I hear like at this point, it's like I gotta hear the buzz. Like, I gotta see people fucking with him.

I'm not just trying to go build nobody from scratch no more. Because I didn't know. Yeah, like you made the homeless person comment, but that's a complete Yeah. Yeah. But, like, fabrication. That's what I was doing it. Yeah, before. Yeah, before that's what I was doing. Yeah, and at this point, it's like I'm over that shit. Like, I could find somebody that's buzzing, they're gonna fuck with me just off my name. Yeah, so probably like two months later, Niles, Niles Bryant, shout out to Niles. Shut up. That's my camera guy. Yeah, shoot all Jayo's videos, so hard. Hard as fuck. So hard. Yeah. So he hit me up and he's like, Killing it. You gotta sign him. And I heard the video, I don't remember what it was. It was like 41st Jayo, or some shit. Anyways, the shit was so hard. I was listening to the punchlines, I was like, give me his number right now. I want to sign him. So when I called him, I'm like, bro, you hard. I want to sign you. I didn't even know he was in my DM. Like, he was already in my DM, like, yo, listen to this. Listen to this. But I ain't never opened it up because you know, He was he was just coming up. You probably get a lot of those. Yeah, definitely, especially now.

But um, I was like, when I heard him, I was like, bro, I want to sign you ASAP. Like, what you want? I'm gonna get it to you. I'm gonna get you your money. And then we did it. Actually, this was probably the only ones when I sent it to Shipes. He was just like, uh, I don't know. I'm like, Shipes. I bet my job, he gonna blow. And then the first tape we dropped, first mixtape, been in your strings first week. Whew. Yeah. Right out the gate. It was crazy. Yeah, and obviously, you know, he's been he's been killing it at you know, ever since. But so you mentioned, you know, You started to build a reputation most definitely in Birmingham. Yeah, obviously, just in music, I would say in general. But what do you think people think of when, you know, like what is your rep? You know what I mean? Like, like what do people think of when you know when when the name Fabo comes up? Shit, he's gonna get me rich. Love that.

Like, for real. Like, that's the first thing I tell people, like, I'm gonna change your life. Yeah. And it's just like, yo, I don't know. Like, now they just fuck with it. Yeah, that's a powerful thing to hear, especially as like a struggling artist. Before, like, even the success, I was saying it, like, I just believed it, like, yo, I'm gonna change your life. Yeah, let's do it. And I mean, that's why you do music. Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's it's like, see, me as a person, I get like hype. Like, say, like when Christmas come around, I'm not the person that's like, want gifts. I go get everybody the gifts. Like, I like seeing other people happy. That's what makes me happy. Like, you know, so that's just the type of person I am. We need more Fabos in the world now. Yeah, yeah. So when um so when you know when everybody getting a deal and they turn up and they going up, that shit make me hype. I feel like yeah, I did this shit. Yeah, we did this shit, but at the same time, it's like, yeah, yeah, I'm happy. And you know, so obviously you got your start in management, but then I would say more recently, you're pretty much doing AR. Yeah, With Jayo. that's when it started.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, so with Yevo, kind of the the AR journey really, you know, started, you know, full full force. I would say what kind of AR are you, would you say, right? Because there's a few different types. So, you know, how would you describe your AR uh approach? Old school AR, like now, they're different. I feel like now, like they don't be with the artists for real, for real. Like, they don't be in there where they recorded. Yep. They don't actually be giving them beats because a lot of a lot of artists just go get beats off YouTube and then they'll like try to clear it or go remake it or some shit. Like, I'm the type of AR that's gonna come to the hood with you. Mm-hmm. Like, for real. You could ask any of my artists. I've been to they hood with them, they shows, wherever. I'm that AR. Yeah. So like hands on. We in the studio, um, track list. I'm picking it out, like with you. Um beats, giving that.

Um, even when the fucking engineer mixed in the project, shout out to T Time. My engineer. Shout out to T time. I'm in the damn in the when they mix and mastering, I'm in there with them. You sound like you got you got some production. Yo, bro, switch this, go do this. That's production, my friend. You might need some points on these records. Nah, for real. But um give them a couple points. Yeah, I got some points. There you go. But uh, but no, I'm really like right there, like from the like even the mix and master, like most people they're just sending that shit off, mix and master that shit. Yeah. Get it back. Oh, let me hear it. I don't want to be like, nah, that ain't how we doing it. I want to just sit there with you and get it right the first time. Mm-hmm. Not gonna waste my time going back and forth. Oh no, I ain't want it like that. Mm-hmm. Nah, I'm gonna sit there with you when it's time to mix the tape. Yeah. Yeah. Like singles, I don't give a fuck about. Just make it sound good. Oh, okay, cool. The project has to flow. Project, that shit gotta be perfect. Front to back. Like, we'll even remix a we'll remix a song that we already fucking put out just to make it sound better. Mm-hmm. The project. Wow.

Yeah. Yeah, like. Yeah. Actually, I feel like you did that recently with Gabe. Uh took something down and put it back up. No, like just mixed it differently to make it flow with the project. Totally. Yeah, like absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, because it was, you know, they get better. And yeah. Mixing mastering is a whole different game when you when you're talking about a project and making something flow. Definitely. Yeah. So I I would say most recently, you know, you had your hands on the Yungeen Ace and Nuski collab project. Yeah. That was was that your first kind of like, you know, whole project that you AR'd? No, I uh Yevo first project. Okay. Okay, cool. When when Yevo, when I started working with Yevo, I didn't want nobody else to be his AR. So I was like, Shipes, can you please let me be his AR? If I fuck up, then I don't gotta ever do it again. He was like, alright, bet. And then obviously you it wasn't the fuck up. He delivered, yeah. So so yeah, but with the you know, with the ace and Nuski project, what was the vision behind that one?

Um they um, well Nuski had dropped his project in like February, and I think Ace had dropped his shit earlier that year. Yeah. And um, I just wanted to get Nuski to the next level. And since he's a part of the ATK with Ace, I was like, Oh, I yeah, I didn't even realize that he was part of okay. Yeah, he's a part of it. Okay, yeah. I was like, bro, let's let's do a um, let's do a joint project. Yeah. Like I said, I told that to the label. I was like, we should do a joint project. They was like, all right, we gotta get the music and blah blah. At first they was going slow, like, I don't know if that I gonna be able to pull this off. I was like, fuck it. We go where Ace live. Okay. And um, and then you know, we made the project happen. Like we I got them together, I flew uh flew Nuski out there, and we did it. Like we recorded for probably. I was gonna say, did you bang it all out during that trip? Three, no, we went we did like three different trips.

Okay. Probably took two two months or something like that. Yeah, I'm just always interested in you know how how projects come together as far as like did they already have songs or did you guys decide? We did have songs, but everything on the tape is new songs, was all new from those those trips. Yeah, and it was like I think every song we recorded damn near made the tape. Probably like it was just hit after, or it was just yeah, yeah, check it out. I was just putting, I put the beat because I know what type of vibe they like. Put it on either Nuski'll come start or Ace'll come start. They was in there like shit, shooting dice the whole time. Like one person to come in, they was it was like a party at the studio, you feel me? Like, and that's not being lazy, that's actually like you came in with a plan, and every song ended up actually working together legitimately because it was it was kind of thought out beforehand. Yeah, yeah. How do you find beats these days? Um just go through your email? Well, you know, usually, of course, every artist probably starts off on YouTube. Yeah. And what I do is I like eliminate them getting YouTube beats by hitting up the YouTube producer and build a relationship with them. Mm-hmm.

And then ask for the beats that aren't on YouTube, definitely. Yeah. And then I end up just building an even bigger relationship with them. And we're pretty much good. I get the beats first. Like Yevo and Tavis. Like that let that shit ride, Tavis. All I did was like, oh, you like his beats? Hit up Tavis. I'm like, yo, I need all the beats you can make. So that was a YouTube producer that that uh Yevo was like fucking with. Yeah, or I mean he might have knew him before, but I think it's from YouTube. Yeah, Because Tavis. he's not like from Birmingham. No, Tavis from Birmingham. Oh, he is. He was just it was like Yevo was fucking with that sound, and I'm like, okay, this is the Birmingham sound. Yeah. That we could need that's gonna go. Like if you hear Tavis beat, they'd be like automatically the thing. Yeah, he was like half the beats at least on the on the most recent project. Yeah, that tag is hard too. Yeah, let that shit ride. Tavis. Tavis. So yeah, speaking of the you know, most recent Yevo project that you know Tavis was a part of, you were also a part of it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And not just the AR. Don't be humble. Let's go. You got into your producer bag a little bit. Yeah, so much that you even had to get your own tag, yeah. Done done by your girl, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I thought was fucking dope. Man, uh, tell us about like had you always thought about wanting to produce because of how hands on you were with the AR shit, like you know, because you were that is production, what you're doing, sitting there in the room like that, helping dictate. That's production. Oh, yeah, but did you want to take it to the fact that you wanted to be credited as such, meaning, like, I'm really hands-on, not you know. Really, it was um like me looking at Shipes, because you know Johnny Shipes. Yeah, he's he's on a bunch of the projects, yeah. Yeah, he produced a lot of stuff, and I'm like, damn, I'm always telling the producer, do something this way or something that way. I was like, maybe I'm missing out. So when we was um in LA with uh, Bankroll got it, we had recorded at Bankroll. Shout out, Bankroll. Bankroll got it. Love you guys. Shout out Sean Moolah. Sean Moolah. But yeah, um, we was in the studio, and I was like, um, do this. Like, I just told him to do this.

It was like a guitar beat. I was like, do this, make this. And he was like, All right. They was listening, I'm like, all right, now I'm making a noise in my mouth. I'm on some DJ Kelly shit, because I don't actually know how to go in and like work inside of a DAW. Yeah, yeah. But my little brother, um, Johnny, he's on the project too. He the he knows how to do it. He really got me really wanting to do it because I'm like, okay, my brother knows how to do this. I can just tell him the sounds I like, Mm-hmm. and he can put it together real good. Yeah, like I'm talking about like I'm not just saying, oh, beer on no, I'm actually like mimicking it. And he. let's hear one. And he's just like, nah, give us a bass line. Let's get a bass line going. Give us the 808 off of uh track four. That's another time. But uh, but yeah, oh yeah, but like, I got it. I was just saying that, yeah, yeah. And then they was like, okay, so then he went in there and played it. Yeah, it was like a little guitar in there, and this kid started playing it. And um, and then like we man, we're just telling them sounds like that. That's the Timbaland method. Timbaland

does that, yeah. They putting it together, and then I'm like, This shit hard. So then finally when we get done with the beat, they like, oh this shit hard, this shit hard. And then um Sarita, she was in the um, she was in the room, sleep, and I was like, I need a tag, and I was like, get up, get your ass up. I need a tag. She was like, what? I was like, what am I gonna say. I was like, big boss Fabo. And then she was like, um, okay, and then she said it. The one the one that she actually said was actually like a rehearsal. And I was like, oh, this shit perfect. Because she was like, I'm nervous. And she's like, Big boss, Fabo. I was like, keep it, that's it. You can actually hear me saying in the background, just like that. Of the tag? I kept it. Yeah. I was like, just like that. And I was like, fuck it, keep it. That's hard. That's exactly some shit I do. I I keep stuff that artists like mess up, or if they say something natural or organic, I'll end up like sneaking it into the intro or the outro. That's actually how one more time literally started from artists saying for sure. One more time, and then me keeping it, like putting it in the beginning.

That's how that shit started. And then that's crazy. I just I was like, hey, send me my tag. And I was like, Y'all gotta put me on here. And I did. So that's hard. Boom. So. So what are you excited about next? Um there's been a lot of stuff going on in your world. You know, what what are you most uh what should we be looking out for? Yeah, exactly. What are you excited about next? Nuski has a new project coming out, big Nuski, um, next year. Okay, and I like Nooski because Nuski kind of like he's 16. A lot of people love him. It's Crazy, man. It's wild. He's 16 years old. You know, his story crazy too. Oh, yeah. Like his whole story, crazy. So, like, um, he has a new project coming out, and then Yevo got another project coming out next year. So are those kind of the two artists that you're most Oh, And Lil heat. Let's not forget about Lil Heat. Okay, try Lil Heat. Yeah, Lil Heat. It's Jayo artist. Okay, he got some um he's gorilla gang? Yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, gorilla grind. Gorilla grind, sorry, yeah, gorilla grind. But um, he got some crazy shit coming too.

So okay, For sure. Yeah. Well, Henry, I think we've reached a uh final segment of the One More Time podcast. Everyone's favorite segment. Buckle up, Fabo. All right, this is the Rapid Fire Rampage. By the way, I just want to shout out the fact that Fabo has not done an interview. No. And we got the one more time exclusive. First interview. For the first interview with big boss Fabo. So shout out to us. Sorry, Henry. I just want to make sure we got that out. I love it. No, for sure. That's a big one. And appreciate you coming on, man. Oh, yeah, for sure. Yep. So basically it's gonna be a three-part rampage. I'm gonna just hit you with some short answer questions. I'm gonna do a this or that, give you two choices, you pick one, and then a word association. I'm gonna just give you one word, you give me the first thing back off the top of your head. So, starting off with the short answers, are you ready for the rampage? Yep. Here we go. It's 3 a.m. You get up to make an ice water, and there's a penguin in your freezer. What do you do?

Close them, love it. That just that didn't happen. Just pretend it didn't happen. Ignore the problem until it goes away. What drugs did I take before bed? Fabo, you have to get rid of three states. Which states do you get rid of? Idaho, Wyoming, and Maine. Where are we gonna get our lobster? Where's the lobster gonna come from? No lobster and no Yellowstone National Park. Sorry, guys. Fabo, you've got 1,000 dollars and you have to double it in 24 hours. What do you do? The feds may or may not be listening. $1,000, I gotta double it. I bet it on Javante Davis. It's a great answer.

Great answer. Fabo, what uh stereotype or clique did you fit into in high school? I was by myself. It wouldn't be. The loners. What are three things we would find in your fridge right now? Some vegan shit. Cran grape. I think we just made some tacos. If you were an app, what would you be? The goat app. Never heard of it. I think I just made this shit up. Amazing. No, it's the shoe app, right? Goat app coming soon. For iOS and Android. I think it's a shoe app. Yeah, it's a shoe app.

Okay, yeah. Okay. Makes sense. Fabo, give us something that is overrated, or you think doesn't matter as much as some people think when you're scouting artists. Views. Fabo, how many owls would fit in a pyramid? One. Big ass owl or a small pyramid, I guess. I'm literally thinking of like the Egyptian pyramid. I thought it was a Trick question or something. I don't know. There are no right or wrong answers. These are all quasi trick questions. So Fabo, on a scale of one to ten, how weird do you think you are? Like 10 being the weirdest? 10 being the weirdest. Two. I love that. Our first guest. Yeah. Because he's not an artist. So we've done it for a few artists. as well. Artists think they're the weirdest.

They always think they're you know super weird. He's like, I'm not weird at all. No. Like slightly weird, just above the lowest. weirdness. Like, do I look fucking weird? I like it. No. I like it. Part one of the rampage. Super normal. That was very good. I was also gonna call bullshit if he did say he was super weird. I was like, you don't seem weird. No, hell no. Yeah. Seemed down. direct. Straight shooter. Yeah. Not weird at all. Keep it real. Yeah. These fucking artists running around here weirdos. Well, you breezed right through part one. That was uh that was impressive. That was really impressive. Very good. Except for the big owl and the small pyramid. thing. I mean, I ain't really no, I don't know. It could have been a miniature. You're right. It could at the pyramid. He and he answered it quickly and confidently. So that's a winner. No, I really not weird at all. You know what I thought about? I thought about like the little eye that beat on the top of the pyramid. I was thinking like it's maybe one eye, one owl. Oh yeah. I don't know. I thought, I don't know. I thought it was a trick question forever. I love he's giving us like the breakdown literally.

that's why. I love you. I'm telling you. We really appreciate the breakdown. Bro, I'm telling you, I'm the type of person you can ask anybody. If we go somewhere, I'm gonna think out the worst shit that happened and figure out a way how to get out. Oh man. So you always know where the fire exit is. and stuff. Man, like even in here, like I'm like, okay, so he's already scoped it out. It's a bed right back there. Like, I'm just I scope everything. out. In case he needs to sleep, in case some shit happen, I'm like, on the fly. Exactly how to get the fuck out of it. That is I like it. I don't know, he's getting weirder by the second. So he just bought himself a two and a half. That was a, that was a two. You're right, you're right, that was a two. Fair two. That was the two. You're right. You're right. That was the two. Fair enough. Moving on to the this or that portion of the rapid fire rampage. I'm gonna give you two choices. Pick the one that gravitates towards you the quickest, whichever one you feel is right. Part two of the rampage with Fabo. Rampage! Talent or hard work. Talent. Lemon pepper or hot?

Lemon pepper. Silly hats or silly socks. Silly socks. You can't see that shit. I them things. RB or rock. RB. Cars or trucks? Trucks. FaceTime or voice message? FaceTime. Smart or beautiful. Beautiful. How shallow is he on a scale of one to ten? I ain't gonna lie. You could be smart as hell, but if you ugly, I can't do it. Like I can't do it. Indica or sativa? Uh Indica. Koala Bears or Panda Bears. God. Panda.

New York or California? Cali for sure. You have a 99% chance of winning 100,000 or a 50-50 chance at 100 M's. 50-50. Going for it. Yeah. Going for the big boss jackpot. Part two of the rampage. Part two. Breezing right along. He's smooth. Doing very well. This is top-notch rampage. This is. For sure. This would go on the Hall of Fame. Really solid rampage. if he follows up with the word association here. You're right. You have potential to make the Rapid Fire Rampage Hall of Fame, which doesn't exist yet, but it will. we're 32 episodes in. I think we can It's going to exist. He might be on the last section. Let's see. I need my plaque. Yeah. Yo, I already, I already suggested that we give our guests like some absurd gift for coming on, and maybe we just get them, maybe it's plaques, a fake plaque. Some cheap little plaque.

I said no. Or like I survived the rapid fire rampage with one more time podcast. T-shirts, perhaps. Ooh. Now we're on to something. Definitely. It's pretty good. We got you one. You might have you might get the first one because you thought of it. We'll see. We'll see how part three goes. We'll see how part three goes. Here we go. It's the word association.

It's approaching dinner time, so I think he just wants to grab some crab legs on the way home. Politics. Hey, um. What's that mean? I mean, it was uh TikTok when he was like, Joe Biden. I don't know why that shit. Joe Biden. Bing bong, bing bong. That's the only shit came out. That's what Kevin said. Joe Biden. So your official answer is, yo, Joe Biden. Yeah. What do you want to say to Joe Biden right now? Hey, yo.

That's what comes to mind when the serious word of politics comes out. Bing bong. That's what I fucking think about politics. Our voting population is immediately gonna think bing bong, fuck your life. Yeah, Jesus. And to wrap it up, your final word. Cinematic. Epic. What a rampage. Henry, what do you think? We're gonna have to go back and rewatch, but this is certainly top, top notch rampage. Very well done. It's gonna definitely need some internal review, you know.

But in all seriousness, folks, until next week, Henry, what we doing? We out. We're getting the fuck out of here. Peace. Bye bye. Peace. Peace.
