No, do a hot tub stream. Hot tub stream. I didn't know that the hot tub girls was like a fad. They made a whole category. It used to be just chatting. They're all putting hot tubs in their living rooms and shit. Apparently, the hot tub industry like blew up from this trend. Guarantee it did. Like hot tub companies were killing it. Crushing. One more time. Spin a rock spin. One more time. This is the debut of One More Time Show. Oh shit. One more time. Are we actually podcasters or are we just interviewers? We're gonna find out after this. Yeah. This will be the test. Shout out to our sponsor, by the way, White Claude Hard Seltzers. We love you guys over there. Shout out to Jen at White Claude. You've been a great contact. Does Jen sound like someone who works at White Claude? I think so. Basically, this is where you and I are gonna talk about like what's happened in the last week, get into maybe some things we saw on the internet, shit we heard, stuff we experienced in our own lives. Like this, this is what we're gonna do.
This is it. This is it. I love it. So Drake in 21 Savage just dropped an album. Her loss. Her loss. How are you feeling about it? First of all, do you think that it um because there's like a debate going on? Did Drake mean to do the three-peat with the titles where he went certified lover boy? Honestly, never mind. Her loss is that on purpose. I could see Drake's pretty smart guy. He could have done that on purpose. For me, when I heard that like conspiracy theory, I basic I basically thought of like, you know, when you're in like elementary school or middle school and you have to do like poetry or like book reports or whatever. Sure. And they really draw these like deep like connections of like, well, the author probably meant this shit. And like, do you think the author really meant some like really deep and trippy shit? I know some of it is definitely just in our heads, but that's kind of the cool thing about writing too. It's like even songwriting, you know, you can write something one way and someone can interpret it a whole different way. And if it works for them and it's cool for them, then what's the big fucking deal? You know, what I'm saying? that's very true.
So is it Circo Loco? Yeah, that's our new Yeah, that's our new one more time anthem. Yeah. Shout out to Drake. He called us and he was like, yo, guys, I'm thinking about doing it one more time. You know, flip. Is that cool with y'all? He didn't even call Daft Punk. He called us. He called us. But no, so the interesting part that I found was that 21 Savage recently came out and publicly said that he would beat anyone from the XXL freshman class that he was a part of, 2016, I believe. He said that he would beat any of them in a versus battle. That's like the recent smoke that that Savage came out with. I'd have to see who was in that class. I think that's very possible. I'm gonna bring it up. It was look it up. It was Anderson Paak. It was Savage, it was Kodak Black. It was Uzi Vert. Ooh. It was Lil Dicky. Shout out Dave. Shout out Dave. It was Dave East, Denzel Curry, Two Daves. G Herbo, Lil Yachty. I mean, it was that the greatest freshman class of all time?
It was amazing. That's an amazing class. But so do you think Savage would beat any of them in a in a versus battle? I might give uh I might give Uzi his best competition. Is that the one you want to see? Uzi Savage would be like kind of off the cuff. Yeah, it'd be that'd be a weird, like, you know, people wouldn't normally link them up. They're kind of in different lanes, but it would be an interesting battle. I'd love to see them in versus. Yeah, I just love, I just love the spirit of competition in hip hop. So like when anyone's throwing shots and Drake threw multiple shots throughout the album, I was I was pleased to see 21 come out and you know, kind of just throw that smoke out there. I think that was like part of the rollout. I think in the rollout meeting, they were like, all right, we're we're throwing shade. Yeah. It's part of this. Let's start as much beef as possible with this album. We're calling People out. We're going for it. Yeah. I mean, I just think it was cool that, like, coming off of Drake and his, you know, more dance-influenced, you know, project. Well, they had the hip-hop song at the end. Jimmy Cooks was not dance. I know.
That was the one weird one. Exactly. But then I think he's just so smart with how he's like how he moves, bro. Absolutely. The fact that he came with like heaters. I mean, her loss is fire. I don't know if you've gotten through it. Yeah, I have. Yeah. Absolutely have. It was great. It's a good album, bro. I think trap music needed this album. Like, and I love that they didn't, you know, it could have been very bland. It could have been, you know, trap beat looped over and over. Drake, you know, does a hook, 21 does his bars. It could have been very bland. And I think they like took actually sounds like they spent some time to make it kind of interesting. You know, there's some beat swishes, there's some pitching, some voice pitching, there's some skits, there's like stuff you wouldn't expect, which keeps it interesting, which I appreciated. Yeah, I mean, it's been a while since I've like willingly wanted to dive through a project, bro. I'm not gonna lie. Is that sad? Like that this year I haven't really. As a music person. Yeah, nothing's like stuck out to me that I've like, except for the people I know, obviously, like Suave drops. I'm listening to it, you know, people that have been on the podcast, of course.
Like, I'm diving in, but just from like the you know, top dogs that are dropping, like it feels like we slowed down a little bit. It was the first one that got me excited to actually like dive in and give it a full listen. You know, I was just like getting shit done around the house, like clean, scrubbing the fucking bathrooms and like listening to her loss, you know. Shout out to my wife putting me to work. Is it uh is it like an album of the year? Kind of the hip-hop album of the year for you. I guess JID also was another one that was I was super excited to dive into Shout out for every story, yeah. And that did not disappoint at all. Yeah, for sure. So so speaking of Yachty, who was on the you know, 2016 XXL freshman that we talked about, he recently did a full send podcast interview that I listened to, and he talked about the reason why he stopped streaming on Twitch because he was actually like starting to kind of go crazy on Twitch. He was like spending you know hours and hours streaming live. Sure. He said he stopped streaming because he felt too accessible. He felt like he was just another dude on the street, like that his fans had too much access to him, and he was losing that like star power mystique.
Like, how do you respond to that? I think that's whack as fuck. Speak on it, bro. Speak on it. The entire game of making a career as a musician is building a community of people who will buy your merch, come to your shows, they just fuck with you genuinely. So, how could you ever discount access? Like act access to your fans is to me that's the most important thing. You're talking about relationships with the people that appreciate what you're doing the most. So, why would you not serve them to the highest level? You know what I mean? I I think that I think that's doing them a disservice. There's something to be said about like, yeah, back in the day, people were mysterious cool people, and you don't know what they're doing, and they're hard to reach, and that made them cooler. And I I still kind of see that, but these days the shit that's hitting, like hitting is people doing TikToks and you know, being themselves and being real. So I think I mean I just love the young boy example of just like flooding the market with content at all times.
And I mean, look at this. But he's an interesting one because he's YouTube based. Yeah. So there's like a literally an article. Let me pull up this article right here. It is the let's see. Best selling artists by album units this year. And number three is NBA Youngboy. And what do you notice about number three that's different than everyone else? There's no link. There's no at. He doesn't have like social media like that, bro. He's not on social media. Damn. He is a weird one that's been like, you know, okay. He doesn't have a Twitter. He doesn't have an Instagram. He he flooded YouTube. Yeah, who was two and one on that list, by the way? Shout out T Swizzle. Number one. Swifty and Swifties. And Drizzle. Swizzle and Drizzle. Swizzle and drizzle. Number one. No, I just thought it was interesting, man, because we always talk about like content, content, content. Like we live in this, you know, content world where you should be producing just like an insane amount of content, right? And just to your point, giving your followers and fans like access to everything that you're doing.
They should know when you're taking a shit, right? They should let them know. They want to know when you're taking a shit. They're actually interested people. For me, the only reason I would agree for him, like to scale back, right? Would be if it was like impacting him in a like mental way or something. Like if it was just too much, right? And you needed like a mental health break. Because I mean, I was just, you know, listening to another interview about like Twitch streamers, man, like they go to work and they're streaming for like 12 fucking hours a day. For sure. And that can take a toll. The crazy story is Amaranth on Twitch. I was just listening to Jen Fox. Ooh. Ooh. Yeah. Who was basically Amaranth's like partner in crime of doing like the most ratchet shit you can possibly do. Jen is actually a good musician. Shout out to Jen. If you ever want to come on the podcast here in Atlanta, baby, hit me up. good musician, yeah. That's why people subscribe to The OnlyFans. The point is, yeah, she like you know, allegedly had has a husband, like that she wasn't even promoting, that she was fucking married. Completely hiding it, hiding separate houses, bro.
And he's running no separate houses. There you go. She bought him a house. That's wild. She bought him, yeah. Of course, she bought him a house. to give the facade for real. Yes. She bought, I just listened to them talking about it. If people knew she was married a long time ago, would she have been making a million a month? You know, probably not. Do people care that much? Like they think they actually have the chance. Like that's what they're clinging to. Yes, the facade sells. I don't know that, like yes, bro. I don't know that the sex that's being sold to me is because that they're single or something. I don't know. it's that 0.0001% chance. Like, yeah, that could be my girl. Wow. Wow. It's sad, but it's real life. I'm telling you, that's how it is. Damn. Yeah, I mean, that would be like the only way I would give Yachty, like I think it just sounds like a lazy take in my mind of like, oh, you didn't want to continue to like build brand and build a family. I don't know. I mean, but once again, if it was- shout out to Amaranth. She just wanted to do what she did. You know, she likes horses, she wants to like do IRL streams, you know, with the horses. She wants to play the games that she wants to play.
And her husband's like, no, do a hot tub stream. Hot tub stream. Get in the hot tub. I didn't know that the hot tub girls was like a fad. Like it was like a thing. It became a whole like movement. It became like uh what do they call it when it's like um it's like a strategy to get to the winning of a video game. It's like um there's a word for it. Fuck. It's the the meta. It's it became like a Twitch meta. Yeah. There's the hot tub shit. Like, they made a whole category. It used to be just chatting, or just talking, and then they made- It became a category. there's literally a category on Twitch now. It's hot tubs, beaches, and pools. Wow. It became a whole thing. Amaranth started that. Because I heard that like if you're in a bikini or something and you're not near a body of water, be it a hot tub, a beach, or a pool, you get banned. Somehow the water makes it okay. It's wild to me. I don't understand it. I was blown away when I heard that. I was like, wait. So you just and so they're doing like kiddie pools and shit, bro, just to get away. They're all getting they're all putting hot tubs in their living rooms and shit in their bedrooms.
Apparently the hot tub industry like blew up from this trend. Guarantee it did. Like hot tub companies were killing it. Crushing. That was amazing to me. I was like, you see a spike in the hot tub sales, and you're like, what's going on here? Like it's just just people are no, it's Twitch. All these Twitch streamers need a hot tub in their bedroom, their fucking bedroom. It's wild. They're in the bedrooms. Literally, they put the hot tubs are there? Or like living rooms where they're indoor hot tubs. Just in random places, anywhere they can fit it. Just plastic fucking tubs. Wow. It's wild, man. Shout out Twitch though. I Twitch is an underrated platform for sure. Get on Twitch if you play games. And did you see that 21 Savage is actually getting on Twitch? How do you feel about that? What's he gonna do? So 21 is he gonna be a hot tub girl? So 21 Savage hit up Kai Sanat. Who's incredible? Unbelievable, like super lit. Funniest motherfucker. Twitch streamer. He's great. And YouTuber. Called him, and he was and 21's basically like, yo, bro, I'm trying to you know turn my Twitch up. You know what I'm saying?
I'm trying to do a collab with you. And he was like, Yeah, play 2K. And uh, you know, Kai was like, I'll smoke you in 2K right now. And 21 was like, put 10 bands on it. And Kai started stuttering. 10 bands. He has 10 bands. He's capping. He could totally that was not even a thing. They settled on like a thousand. But I think that's a mutual thing, though. They can both kind of come up from that relationship. Like Kai's on big on Twitch, 21's fucking 21. They come together, they both kind of rise together. So the thing I love that that that Kai Sanat has done is he does the telling your favorite rapper that his music is trash to his face. I don't know if you've seen these? Like he'll like have them on and curate this fake podcast where he like does this like bit that's like an interview at first, and he's like, yo, man, like, you know, let's hear the new shit, bro. And like they play it, and he's like, bro, that shit is whack. Like, you know, and he just goes on. Like, yeah, I think he had like G Herbo on recently or something. Or I don't even know if it's recent. I'm you know, I never know what YouTube's serving me up if it's like two years old or fucking a month old for sure. But yeah, I was like, that that is genius.
So Kai's crushing it. Shout out to Kai, man. Yeah, Kai, you live in Atlanta. We'd love to have you on the podcast, my guy. He does, he's in Atlanta, bro. Let's make it happen. Let's go. Should we get into the influencer interviews? What do you think? He's close enough to music, I think. He's like a bystander and let's not box ourselves in, bro. Let's be the next one. more time is the next Joe Rogan. If we're chasing clout, we gotta get the influencers on. Don't say that out loud, but absolutely I agree with you. If we want views, we gotta get Kai Sinat and and the likes of him on. Kai's in the A, bro. Come through. For Sure. So I was calling you, bro, like a few nights ago. I left the studio, right? And I wanted to tell this because I was calling you. Cause I I literally am driving down like a really main road. Like, you know, granted, it was maybe like 9, 10 p.m. Like nothing crazy late in the middle of the night or anything, right? But you know, still whatever. Not what road? Jesus, Henry, you're trying to put me on blast here. I mean, people in Atlanta might respect it. Like, Claremont Road. It was Claremont Road.
It's a it's a staple, staple in Atlanta. It is. Anyways, yeah. So I'm I'm going down Claremont Road, and you know, I see like flashing lights, but not like car headlights, right? Like, I'm seeing like clearly what looks like a flash from a camera. And I'm like, what the fuck is going on? So as I drive by, I kind of slow down to see what assumedly is an influencer, rapper, artist, what whatever, right? Like dressed to the nine, iced out, doing a photo shoot in the middle of the road. So like the oncoming lane. I'm going this way. He's standing over here getting photographed in the middle of those lanes, right? It's like a four-lane road, two on each side. He's standing in the middle of those two lanes. My thought process is like, how far are we going, bro? To get the shot. Let's be real. Like a lot of times on the podcast, we talk about like people that do you really fucking want it or not? This guy obviously wanted it. He wanted it so badly. That's a guy you want on your team, right?
He's willing to risk his life in traffic. The photographer's back is to the incoming traffic, though. At least he could see like that the cars are coming. He could get out of the way. I don't know, like if she So there were no cars coming for like at least a solid 15 seconds of me driving past, there was nothing. I was like, oh man, God bless him. Like, yeah, lucky as hell. But then there was like 10 cars coming. And I wonder how it played out. Like Yeah, like I didn't hear, I didn't hear anything on the news, you know, about like, you know, artist and photographer killed on Claremont Road. But like I was I was expecting something, I don't know, man. I just it just made me wonder like how far are we going? I mean, I think to get the to get the photo to get the content. Look, if you want it that bad, I think you'll stand in traffic. I think that's the least of your worries. Like, if you want it, that is something you will do. Now, whether that is. What's the craziest shit you've done to get some content. Do you have anything like that? Are you just not going hard? Do you just not want it hard enough? We we did uh illegally rent a police car, and I dressed up as a cop and we rode it down the street.
Damn, you're right. We did. We did do that. We should cut that Yeah, we're definitely not gonna link to the company that rented it to us, but we did. company. It was a fucking dude. It was a guy with like a cop car rental Instagram handle that. I hit up. I don't think he had an LLC at all. No. He did like forewarn us that like, yo, we should probably not. He was like, don't leave the gas station parking lot. And we're like, all right, bet we're about to leave the gas station parking lot and ride down the road with the lights on, making noise. Like the main road where we were at, too. But shout out to him, man. Yeah, he hooked it up. And then I think we like asked him if you could jump in the pool in the uniform, and he just was having such a good time that he was ready to just get out of here. I think he wanted to charge extra for the dry cleaning. But I don't know if we I don't know if they actually did you get that bill. I didn't. Okay, shout out the artist. Shout out East. We love you. Let me ask you this. The Astros just won the World Series last night. Had no idea.
Of course you didn't. So it's first of all, it's a good thing because every time a Philadelphia baseball team wins the World Series, it's only it happened three times. Every time it's happened. It's like cursed, right? Every time it happens, the economy takes a hit, goes into an insane recession. There's no way that's true. It's literally it's because it's only three times. Yeah. So the 19 Are you drawing that parallel for real? It's an it's actual facts. 1929, the it was they were they were the Philadelphia Athletics. They won. Then the Great Recession happened. Wow. 1980s or whatever, there was a huge um breakdown. They won, huge financial depression, recession, awful. This is like Reaganomics. And then 2000, yeah, and then 2008 um financial crisis. Wow. They won that year. So because the Phillies lost, I think we are safe. It's safe to say we're good. There's no recession coming. Buy calls, long calls, leaps, get in that stock market, buy crypto, fucking get it in right now. The Phillies lost.
We are golden, baby. Investors are going hard right now. This is the time to buy, baby. Let's fucking get it. Wow. Let's go. Do you like you're buying that? It's obviously like a stupid comparison, but but yeah, I mean, kinda. Sort of. I'm honestly kind of buying. My point that I was getting at is Yeah. Yeah, I was like, that's a random fact, but I like it. What I was getting at is Mattress Mac. I don't know if you've heard of you probably haven't heard of Mattress Mac. Is that an artist? No. Sounds like a rapper. Mattress Mac. Old dude. He owns like a furniture store in Texas. Bet on he bet on the Astros to win the World Series before the season started. He got like 10 to 1. odds. He just made he won the biggest. It's the biggest sports betting win in the history of legal sports betting. All right, let me guess how much. Go ahead. I'm going 50 mil. It's not a bad guess. 75 million dollars. Holy shit.
Spread across like three different bookies. But what he did was at his furniture store, he said that he he hedged his bet, right? This is genius as a businessman. You're gonna love this. He said, if you spend $3,000 or more at my furniture store, and I lose the bet, or if you spend $3,000 at my furniture store and I win the bet, you get refunded. So he won the bet, but now everyone that spent 3,000 plus, he has to refund them. But he's got 75 million. But he's got 75 million he's still on top. But if he lost. but he brought all the business to store if he lost, then he had the best year in sales he's ever had. Everyone just paid for their furniture and he made a bunch of money. Wow. Isn't that fucking smart? That's a genius marketing plan. Dude, mattress Mac. Look at this old fucker. Dude, he's smart as hell. He looks like a mattress Mac. He is mattress Mac, dude. Biggest legal sports betting win of all time. I didn't know like furniture store owners were having like, you know, fire nicknames like that.
Like you gotta make bets. You got to come up with crazy schemes to be mattress Mac. Dude, he's fire. Yeah, he killed it. Wow. Last night it just happened. He won the before the seat the season started. Bet on the Astros to win it all. Man, he's really lucky that like he sells mattresses and his name starts with an M. That was like a really great, like, you know, circumstantial worked out. Yeah. You think he hired like a marketing person to like come up with that for him? You think he changed his name to Mac to support the name? His name's Jimmy. No. His last name. Wait, it's not actually Mac. His last name is like Mick something. This story is falling apart here, Henry. His last name is Mick Something. So that's where the Mac comes from. Henry, I'm not sure how we did. We talked about a lot. We killed it. Hopefully, people fuck with this. If y'all fuck with it, like, comment, subscribe. You know that jazz. We're gonna be doing this probably regardless of if you fucked with it, so you might as well just jump on board. Yeah, fuck you anyway.
Because we're sponsored by White Claude. Shout out to White Claude. Jen is our contact over there. We love you, Jen. Keep sending us pineapple, White Claws. We love them. I think Jen is actually just the clerk at the liquor store that Henry buys White Claude. at. And on that note, we'll see you guys next week. Peace. Pop that shit like one more time. Pop that one more time, Pop that shit like one more time, Pop that one more time Oh. Hop up in the floor and skirting up. All the homies, this shit dripping off Middle finger to the law
