4 minutes, 21 seconds

[laughter] Like everybody wants to buy the cops. Everybody want to buy from me.

4 minutes, 25 seconds

5 minutes, 18 seconds

Too much power, man. God gave you more than you can handle.

5 minutes, 21 seconds

Do you think that God put too much power in your hands?

He doesn’t do that. Say, “Hey, you’re a cool kid. Take this.” Boom. He doesn’t do that.

5 minutes, 38 seconds

You know, I’ve sat across from like different folks and uh but nobody I think has had like like on their own face has so many like you you have a lot of scars on you that are just built into

5 minutes, 47 seconds

you from like wars, right? Do you ever look at your own face and you can know?

5 minutes, 51 seconds

Do you know like which ones are from which fights and stuff?

5 minutes, 54 seconds

I think, you know, listen, that’s interesting that you said. I think it I think it comes from accumulation of fighting. You know, you don’t wake up

6 minutes, 1 second

overnight and you got um a line on your face. It comes after years and years of waking up and you say, “Wow, I got a line on my face.” Okay. Which was it?

6 minutes, 9 seconds

Which was the start which is started 10 years ago, but you you just haven’t seen it yet. Oh, so you kind of gets worn in sort of.

6 minutes, 18 seconds

Absolutely. Yeah. Pretty. Yeah.

6 minutes, 20 seconds

You you have a a documentary that you’re starting that’s coming out this year on Netflix. Is that right?

6 minutes, 25 seconds

I believe so. I don’t know when it’s coming out, but I believe it’s coming out soon.

6 minutes, 30 seconds

Okay. You’ve done a lot of documentaries. Do you feel different about this one? Like what do you feel like there’s something different to

6 minutes, 38 seconds

offer now to uh people that are going to consume it? That’s interesting that you say that. I’m going give you honest answer.

6 minutes, 47 seconds

There’s things that people believe that other people want to hear from me that I’ve been saying constantly since the beginning of interviews. So, it’s more

6 minutes, 55 seconds

the pers more their perspective than it is my perspective. I may think it’s

6 minutes, 59 seconds

[ __ ]

7 minutes

Yeah. They may think it’s a masterpiece. So, no, I’m serious.

7 minutes, 5 seconds

Yeah. No, no perspective. You know, most of us don’t like ourselves on on, you know, we don’t like ourselves up there that much, you know, but you know, the people the people do, I guess, right?

7 minutes, 15 seconds

You can’t help it that you’re very that everybody came to see you and you’re very popular. You can’t help that. Not your fault. You can’t help that.

7 minutes, 22 seconds

7 minutes, 38 seconds

just in your own life like in your childhood or anything that you could just have that footage, what would it be?

7 minutes, 43 seconds

11 minutes, 32 seconds

After he passed away, did you try to find like another c like custom? Nobody else like him.

11 minutes, 37 seconds

11 minutes, 58 seconds

Have you had the opportunity to try and be that for somebody else in your life or like do you feel like you have some of the same like like capabilities that

12 minutes, 7 seconds

he had? It takes a special person to be that type of person and we’re all special in different ways.

12 minutes, 11 seconds

I am nowhere near the person that he was. you know, we’re born from two different structures and fibers. He’s just a total disciplinarian and you

12 minutes, 21 seconds

could hard he’s just he he almost wants to be perfect. He’s hardly makes any mistakes around people. He won’t do any

12 minutes, 28 seconds

he’s just wants to be right at every moment. You know, he puts himself in position to be right. He’s just I could

12 minutes, 35 seconds

say megalomaniac, but he was just a a disciplinarian person. Sometimes he’ll go and just stop eating. He just just have stop eating for a week.

12 minutes, 44 seconds

Sometimes he what? I’m sorry. I’m just He just may start to stop. He just may stop eating for a week. Just

18 minutes, 6 seconds

Um, she was a drunk. She was a prostitute. But, um, she was who she was.

18 minutes, 13 seconds

You know, my mom uh my [snorts] mom had like a issue when I was a kid, like she couldn’t look at me because

18 minutes, 20 seconds

Why? What’s wrong with you? [laughter] I do. You know something that we don’t know?

18 minutes, 27 seconds

I don’t know [ __ ] but something was wrong with her. She like she just couldn’t like something

18 minutes, 35 seconds

like when my mom was growing up like her dad like um would make him would make them like put his food under their ta under the door. He he he would not talk

18 minutes, 44 seconds

to my mom for like for months at a time and he would go in and out of their house through the window. That sounds like a mental illness.

18 minutes, 49 seconds

Yeah. Right. A mental illness for what they call now a mental illness.

18 minutes, 53 seconds

Right. Right. At the time. Yeah. It was just like kind of a reverse drive-thru. Yeah.

18 minutes, 59 seconds

I got what I’m doing with your dad. I swear.

19 minutes, 2 seconds

But anyway, I’m just saying like there was just like so early on I realized I got to take care of myself, right? Like and I don’t know if that was the truth,

19 minutes, 10 seconds

but inside of myself, I made that decision. Like I I probably was a kid for maybe 45 seconds and since then I was an adult. I don’t care if I was two

19 minutes, 17 seconds

months old. Does that make any sense to you?

19 minutes, 19 seconds

Exactly. You know, my my my wife is kind of shamanic and she believes that we ask for our parents.

19 minutes, 29 seconds

Then when I start believing, I said, “If I didn’t have the parents I had, I would never be me.” I said, “She might got something.” I never tell her. I’m saying

19 minutes, 36 seconds

it now. I said, “She may have something there.” I did pick those parents. If I didn’t have those parents, I would be [ __ ] up. She might be right.

19 minutes, 44 seconds

What’s what’s a nice memory that you have with your mom that was like something that you think about that was like kind of like a moment that you kind of cherish?

19 minutes, 54 seconds

It was one Christmas day and her birthday was on Christmas. Your mother’s birthday was on Christmas.

20 minutes, 1 second

I don’t know how we got some money but it was just a festival. her and her friends, they had food there and we was

20 minutes, 9 seconds

eating food and we have never had that much food before and I don’t know how they got the money. I know it was something scaldish but I’m sure um

20 minutes, 18 seconds

skull dugger a little bit of skull duggery.

20 minutes, 20 seconds

Yeah. So I’m sure um something that broke the law but it was just a great moment you know and

20 minutes, 28 seconds

that’s what I was accustomed to. I was accustomed to the pimps, the criminals, the stickup guys, the robbers, all being over my mother’s house and stuff cuz

20 minutes, 35 seconds

that we were a house of crime. I lived in a house of crime.

20 minutes, 39 seconds

Where did you sleep? Did you have your own room?

20 minutes, 41 seconds

No, my home room. I live slept on the floor in a blanket somewhere.

20 minutes, 47 seconds

The the beds are for the for the um for the John’s.

20 minutes, 50 seconds

For the John’s. Yeah, exactly. I think for the tricks, but yeah, the John the bed belongs. We got a bell. Are you for

20 minutes, 58 seconds

real? I don’t know if my brother or sisters heard me and they bring back memories to them of a bad trip.

21 minutes, 5 seconds

You slept on each other’s backs. One person had to lay down flat and the other person got to sleep and we didn’t do that. We had slept on different parts on the floor. But you

21 minutes, 13 seconds

know, you had to the if it’s hot, you had to air condition. You turn the big fan.

21 minutes, 20 seconds

Oh, dude. I remember our my mom would only let it be 80° in the house, right?

21 minutes, 24 seconds

And I’m like, well, that and at the time when I was a kid, I didn’t know that that’s pretty warm, right? And so we would go get the cold water and we

21 minutes, 32 seconds

would just put it all over the sheet and then we would lay on it like, “Hey, make a little beach. Go to Florida.”

21 minutes, 40 seconds

[laughter]

21 minutes, 47 seconds

32 minutes, 43 seconds

You think he was very competitive? He was.

32 minutes, 45 seconds

Frank is too competitive. He’s not friendly with nobody. Yeah.

33 minutes, 52 seconds

Whitney came to visit you. Did she sing for you or anything like that or did she just come and spend time?

33 minutes, 55 seconds

She just came and she brought her family. Her and her family came and they hung out with me. Who else came to visit you?

34 minutes, 2 seconds

34 minutes, 12 seconds

Listen, Patrick sees, he was dead, too, I think.

34 minutes, 25 seconds

He came. Yes. But listen to this. She came to visit me, but I’m locked in the hole. I had to fight with one of the gods. So, I’m not going to come out. If

34 minutes, 54 seconds

No, they leave the light on all night. Oh, the lights on all night. Lights on.

34 minutes, 57 seconds

Oh, that’s good. I mean, at least in case you have to get up or whatever, you It gives you a [ __ ] headache. Oh, yeah. 24 hours a day for like what, 10 weeks?

35 minutes, 5 seconds

Nuh-uh. Yeah. [clears throat] What starts to happen to somebody in there? Like do does it is it anything helpful?

35 minutes, 12 seconds

Yeah, the peace the solitude is healthy.

35 minutes, 16 seconds

Very healthy. The solitude and most of us most of us believe it or not able to be by oursel for a long period

35 minutes, 23 seconds

of time. You know we haven’t developed a relationship with ourselves where we adore ourselves. We can’t stop up being up and stop being in our own presence.

35 minutes, 34 seconds

And I guess that’s the way to be.

35 minutes, 35 seconds

Constant happiness and love even though even though we go through the bad [ __ ] makes that beautiful too.

35 minutes, 42 seconds

Yeah. I think um I don’t know in my life like I feel like in my life my whole life I was waiting

35 minutes, 49 seconds

for somebody to show up, right? I don’t even really exactly know who it was. But then like recently I’m realizing that I think I’m just waiting for me to show

35 minutes, 57 seconds

up. Does that make any sense to you? I I don’t want to ask this question because you have to get you know I mean that’s your narrative. How do that guy appears?

36 minutes, 8 seconds

How do you make that guy appear? Right.

36 minutes, 10 seconds

The first thing that I’m that I’m learning for myself and some of this is pretty recent is just like having some integrity like you know if I say I’m like cuz if I say I’m going to do

36 minutes, 18 seconds

something and I don’t I hear myself do that, right? And so after a while I don’t even believe myself. I think after a while I couldn’t even listen to myself cuz it’s like well how many times am I

36 minutes, 27 seconds

going to lead myself on, you know? Um, I don’t know if that’s exactly true, but I think that’s the best answer I have for that.

36 minutes, 33 seconds

It’s always the higher power. It’s always the higher power cuz I’m from the I’m from the um the world um that you

36 minutes, 41 seconds

come from as well, you know, the recovery world. And it’s a battle. It’s a battle. Some guys for 20 years all a sudden, boom, they took they go to drugs

36 minutes, 49 seconds

and kill themselves. It’s a constant battle. No one’s ever a winner to the end of the day till it’s over and we’re

36 minutes, 56 seconds

dead. Then you won. If you ever do any drugs and you beat the system that was killing you, you going to die. Boom. But sometimes these guys stop using drugs for 30 years and go back.

37 minutes, 5 seconds

Yeah.

37 minutes, 6 seconds

You know, I mean, you just can’t believe it. So, you’re never safe. Yeah. You’re never safe.

37 minutes, 11 seconds

Yeah. Nobody’s going to get out of here alive. I learned that in rehab.

37 minutes, 14 seconds

Yeah. It kind of makes it exciting, doesn’t it?

37 minutes, 17 seconds

It’s kind of funny. Nobody gets out of here alive.

37 minutes, 19 seconds

As you get older, one of the things that gets a little bit exciting is dying because it’s a new adventure. I listen. Does that make sense?

37 minutes, 27 seconds

That makes too much sense. I find um death is another part of life we just never experienced yet.

37 minutes, 34 seconds

You know, if life is good, how death could be bad? Be honest. If God loved us, how could death really be bad? If we look at God the way we believe him to

37 minutes, 42 seconds

be, how could death be bad if he created it?

37 minutes, 45 seconds

If we didn’t think it was final, then we How would we behave in this time that we’re here, you know?

37 minutes, 49 seconds

Well, listen. Um God prepares us. The universe prepares us for death. You know, little by little, we lose our friends. We lose people we care about.

38 minutes

We lose our hair. We lose our teeth. We lose our life. It’s nothing that happens spontaneous. You know, it’s meant to be.

38 minutes, 7 seconds

Yeah. We lose our ability to be around black people safely because I’ve said the N word. Yeah.

38 minutes, 12 seconds

No, you know, I mean, black people love you. You’re you’re a [ __ ] lover. You’re not a [ __ ] hater. [laughter] Hey, that’s a good point, bro. Thanks for looking out for me.

38 minutes, 21 seconds

I hope that I hope they’re not able to cancel you on this show and [ __ ] We talked about [ __ ] Hey, [ __ ] always got people cancel.

38 minutes, 28 seconds

[laughter]

38 minutes, 29 seconds

Oh, it never fails. A [ __ ] will get you. The word [ __ ] The word.

38 minutes, 35 seconds

Oh, it’s great to see some equality at last.

38 minutes, 39 seconds

Are you sometimes amazed like when you look at your life how much grace God has had in your life?

38 minutes, 44 seconds

I realized that um if you don’t believe in God, look at me cuz I should not be right here talking to you.

38 minutes, 54 seconds

No, you probably did not, man. Listen, listen. No, really. When I’m in my 30s, I got um I said, “Yes, God did a really

39 minutes, 2 seconds

dirty trick. He He allowed me to live to be 60.” God damn. If I knew I was going to be 60, I’d have played the game. Yes,

39 minutes, 9 seconds

sir. No, ma’am. Yes, sir. [laughter] Let [ __ ] you. Suck my [ __ ] you. I went that route instead.

39 minutes, 17 seconds

[clears throat]

39 minutes, 17 seconds

Oh man. Yes, sir. How you doing, man?

39 minutes, 22 seconds

You know. Oh, I’d walk right up to heaven like this, bro. I’d walk right into heaven, man. Sit at my table. Yeah.

39 minutes, 28 seconds

If I’d have been Yeah. I think there’s something about like when you feel like you’re doing everything yourself. Like, did you feel like that as a kid? Like everything I I’ll figure this out. I’ll

39 minutes, 36 seconds

handle it. Like, did you have that like chip on your shoulder? Do you feel my mentor? But when I had my mentor, he taught me not to ever say anything negative about myself. Really?

39 minutes, 44 seconds

Only say beautiful things about myself. Custom taught you that? Yes. And what did he tell you exactly?

39 minutes, 50 seconds

Always say beautiful things about myself and never say anything negative about myself cuz my subconscious don’t know if I’m playing or not.

39 minutes, 59 seconds

It’s pretty Isn’t it wild how there’s something? No, but I learned that at 12 years old.

40 minutes, 3 seconds

I had to learn that at 12 to be the champion at 20. M you know if I land to that 15 16 hey it

40 minutes, 11 seconds

probably wouldn’t have worked out there that up in chapter 22 probably. Yeah.

40 minutes, 15 seconds

So everything worked out for the right reason.

40 minutes, 18 seconds

What was one of the hardest walks uh to the ring you ever had to make.

And were you having trouble finding people to fight?

Um I have read actually that you like studied a lot of like uh like you really enjoy like philosophy like uh Toltoy. Um

1 hour, 23 minutes, 53 seconds

Alexander the Great. Um who were some like famous warriors that you admire the most kind of in history?

1 hour, 23 minutes, 59 seconds

Oh, all of them. Achilles, Alexander, Hannibal, there was just Elsid. There was just so many different concepts. You

1 hour, 24 minutes, 7 seconds

say why do you want to do this? Because no why some of them want to be God. They believe if I control all this world, if

1 hour, 24 minutes, 14 seconds

I control the world, I’m a god. And they still at the end of the day, they realized they were nothing, you know.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 22 seconds

But can you even relate to that? Like did you ever have a time in your life where you’re because our ego is one of the scariest things, right?

1 hour, 24 minutes, 27 seconds

Um you can only play with the thought of it. It’s not sincere. It’s not real. Yeah.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 35 seconds

Only way you’re a god. If you if you live forever, you’re immortal, you know.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 41 seconds

But we have demigods now. Now we have uh we have authors that turn people into gods, you know, like what do you mean by that?

1 hour, 24 minutes, 50 seconds

Um some people would never be forgotten.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 52 seconds

Napoleon, all these guys. To know your history, you have to know these people.

1 hour, 24 minutes, 57 seconds

They’re part of history. We can’t know our history if we don’t know these people. That’s what makes them godly.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 3 seconds

Oh, only if we know them. You’ll never get to know them unless you read about them. They’re only in special places to know their identity.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 13 seconds

Did you like what was one of the toughest times you ever had with your own ego? Cuz like ego is just so scary, right?

1 hour, 25 minutes, 18 seconds

I don’t know. My ego is is so um personal, you know.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 25 seconds

I don’t know how to even say I just want to do better than before. I don’t think I have, you know, I do think I’m Alexander the

1 hour, 25 minutes, 33 seconds

Great sometimes. You know, I don’t care what I think I am. What are you talking about? Like you do like you dressing up in the bedroom. What you doing? A little role playinging.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 41 seconds

Put on that ATG hat. It says ATG on it.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 44 seconds

No, it’s just that the way I conduct myself. He was a cancer too, Alexander.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 48 seconds

And what his downfall was was he’s moody.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 51 seconds

I learned that not to let my moods control my feelings. He was really moody. That was his downfall.

1 hour, 25 minutes, 58 seconds

What helped you like have discipline like say say something like that you notice about yourself? What helped you create like some little disciplines like like that? Um, the best way to to

1 hour, 26 minutes, 6 seconds

receive discipline is to do what you hate to do, but to do it like you love it. You do that, that’s discipline.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 14 seconds

And is that something you’ve really practiced?

1 hour, 26 minutes, 16 seconds

That’s all I practice my whole life, even now.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 22 seconds

Did you always love fighting or did you hate fighting or No, I loved it. I loved I loved the concept of fighting. I loved the the

1 hour, 26 minutes, 30 seconds

fighters. I was so I wanted the greatest fighters of the world and know my name.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 33 seconds

I was I would you know I would be on my knee, kiss their hands, kiss their feet.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 38 seconds

I love them. I worship them. I believe that they touch me. They have need some magic on me. So I always wanted to be around. I carried their bags for them. I

1 hour, 26 minutes, 47 seconds

gave them money when I became a big time fight. I always gave them money cuz they norally broken down and have no money.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 53 seconds

You know, most of them have dementia. So I always gave them money, took care of them.

1 hour, 26 minutes, 57 seconds

Gave it and took it away if they got that dementia. You feel me? They run it right back. Right.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 1 second

But um I just thought that But paying homage, you’re saying I Yeah, I had to pay homage cuz if I didn’t even see these guys, I wouldn’t want to be who I am today. These guys

1 hour, 27 minutes, 9 seconds

inspired me to be fighter. I didn’t want to be nothing else. Even though I saw that they turned out I normally would turn out like these guys, nothing begging. I still wanted to be a fighter.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 18 seconds

I didn’t care. I didn’t I wanted to be in that kind of I wanted to be in that fraternity. Dude, that’s so interesting to hear.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 24 seconds

Yeah. I I never think about that. It’s like Yeah. Like I didn’t just we didn’t just come up with the idea of ourselves

1 hour, 27 minutes, 31 seconds

all by ourselves. Like there was so much influence in people that did something before us that like let us no matter what our job is or what our thing is

1 hour, 27 minutes, 39 seconds

that we like to do in life. That’s interesting man. I forget about that sometimes like yeah sometimes I get I don’t get stuck there much but sometimes it’ll be like oh like yeah I made me.

1 hour, 27 minutes, 51 seconds

Do you ever think about who you are? How you really got here? what you really consist of. Is there something more than

1 hour, 27 minutes, 58 seconds

you? Are we gonna see each other again at another time? Are we living in parallel lives? Is this right here going on somewhere else in life?

1 hour, 28 minutes, 7 seconds

We have so much energy. We don’t even know about ourselves. We know everything else, but we know nothing about us.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 12 seconds

Oh yeah, dude. I didn’t like most of my life, I wasn’t even me. I was

1 hour, 28 minutes, 20 seconds

just I was just like some survival mechanism that had started off. Does that make any sense to you?

1 hour, 28 minutes, 25 seconds

100%. That’s the first thing that happened. Self-preservation starts first and then once we get situated, then we try to figure everything else out.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 34 seconds

Yeah.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 35 seconds

Yeah, man. It took forever. Like it took me probably 30 years just to exhale, you know?

1 hour, 28 minutes, 41 seconds

I understand. I understand, brother. I understand.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 44 seconds

And then it’s scary because there was times I thought, man, like I don’t even know if I wanted to be like a funny guy.

1 hour, 28 minutes, 50 seconds

I might even be wanted somebody that worked at like a um clothing like a habdasher or whatever or like a a singer, but I but I but that was the

1 hour, 28 minutes, 58 seconds

first thing that I could get people to like you get attention.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 1 second

Yeah. I see you. And so I could like I was just I there was I didn’t have another choice that formed everything I was, you know, I wanted to be seen so much. I was a

1 hour, 29 minutes, 10 seconds

little baby and my mother and her friends, everybody was having fun drinking. I put my finger in D, you know, and put in my mouth and I wanted

1 hour, 29 minutes, 17 seconds

them I started screaming. They grabbed me and took me to the hospital. But I wanted that attention at such a young age.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 23 seconds

Yeah. Oh, I love going to the hospital, dude. Because they had good food back then, too. And they give you attention, bro.

1 hour, 29 minutes, 30 seconds
