I'm excited start this show off let's start this show off uh y little yachty made some interesting comments about fashion shout out to boat when it comes to uh New York versus Atlanta and he he I think I'm paraphrasing for him but he said that he didn't really look at New York he like fashion pretty much said like Atlanta has the crown for fashion okay in Black Culture he didn't really give explanation but I would assume so I would assume that would be in his in his world gotta you in his world you took offense to this I didn't take offense to this I'll tell you I'll tell you what you know I mean I'm 40 years old right he's 26 um so for his generation I understand so I want to preference this by saying this okay he's 26 years old so I'm not even in that world I'm not in the world I mean I'm Ted in enough to know what's going on but not my day-to-day life as far as I'm not keeping up with 20 26 year olds or are you these are just JS so but I will I will say this I will say this um Atlanta has run the hip-hop scene for a very long time at least 15 years and they got it like they're number one when it comes to rap music no denying it and for black entrepreneurship Atlanta is number one that's why we do invest Fest in Atlanta that's why we do so much stuff in Atlanta so um so yeah Atlanta they they run the entrepreneurship game when it comes to Black businesses culture they run um music for sure and I love Atlanta I love Atlanta or anything um but when you come it's not even don't say that it's not even close n fashion different respectfully super respectfully is not even a conversation to be had did is there Atlanta Fashion Week no New York is the fashion Capital there's a few fashion capitals in the world one is Milan one is Paris and other one is New York maybe London too so you might have four I think he was referencing Black Culture to be fair though to play God's Advocate any culture um New York has always set the trends when it comes to Fashion hip-hop culture when you look at the collaboration with Tommy Hill fig and all like that's all comes from New York culture Harlem like that they always had the trends when it comes to Fashion even now I don't really necessarily agree with the way he dresses it's not my style but ASAP Rocky he's the biggest fashion icon in music he's from New York from hem um asap's the biggest Fashion Icon right now currently in rap okay you don't think so I mean I don't know ASAP still rap ASAP I don't want no smoke I [ __ ] with you but I think coming out with album but I mean n you know and like I said I'm on my grown man [ __ ] so it's just a little different but when you look at the diversity of fashion in New York City is uncomparable as far as you can you can be yes you could be you could be super trendy you get three-piece suit you could do Street Wear you could do the sneaker every you know New York was even the Asian community in New York be having some [ __ ] on you like that's how we come up that's how we was raised as far as like how you tie your sneakers is important your jeans if you gonna cuff your jeans properly and and everything how your how your T-shirt fits you like fitted hats like New York Atlanta was never known for fashion that's not that's not part of Atlanta culture fashion is not part of Atlanta culture that's not true Atlanta has some [ __ ] on y'all what what did they have on you've been to Atlanta like you've never seen anybody in Atlanta dress well I see labels a lot of labels being worn okay I can agree with that too guys advocate for my people in in in Atlanta oh I see a lot of labels being worn right but I'm saying like if you really throw it on you could you could wear it don't it's not it's not about the name it's about what you rock like that's what how put anybody can go to the mall and buy a bunch of Gucci and a bunch of FY and a bunch of Louis Vuitton that's not fashion to me I'm saying fashion you might go to H&M and look better than somebody that's dressed in Louis Vuitton head to toe because how you how you threw it on you might you might you know what I'm saying add a yeah yeah respectfully I mean in in the last 10 years though culturally at has led everything though what fashion I'm not talking about culture I'm talking about fashion what fashion has Atlanta LED I first start seeing the the big baggy boot cut [ __ ] come back in Atlanta offset oh so the big baggy [ __ ] all of that comes from New York that even when when um God Rest the dead but um Virgil when they start doing all of that the big the um remember when Virgil had that campaign where he was wearing the fatigues and all that that's Nora that's their album C they replicated that Alum cover like all of the like what these kids is doing now is a replication of what New York did in the 90s right this all that big baggy [ __ ] with the boots and all that that that comes Louis Vuitton made the Timberland boot now that cost $110,000 that's that's that's a New York state ugly by the way yeah right like you know I'm saying all of this remix fashion [ __ ] even with the bell bottoms and all that that's the 70s that that's um Studio 54 you know that's New York like you know what I'm saying like the the remix fashion is is New York Fashion of old so I don't really see no new trends being created but I don't see it I just don't see it like I said it's not just Atlanta I don't see any new trends being created anywhere but if any old Trend that's being replicated that's that's in homage of New York Fashion when you see the velour suits the track suits the big baggy clothes all of that that's that's all New York [ __ ] let me call somebody real quick see if they pick up you gotta call somebody from Atlanta see if they pick up who's that Who you calling calling my guy Ray Daniels Ray Daniels Ray Daniels how you doing man I'm calling you live from blackout could I get your opinion on something we doing uh at Atlanta you from New York originally but mov to Atlanta who has better fashion Atlanta or New York shotti say hands down ain't no question as New York City but you've been in Atlanta what you think I'm G say New York City has fashion beat from Atlanta okay tell tell us why smiling ear to ear right now yo go respectfully New York has uh more people more diverse you know it's just it's not it's not like the crazy show if you wear something that looks this you know because fasting is always about pushing limits you know what I mean and I think New York is the place where fasting is push you you know so I would definitely say New York has more fashion sense than Atlanta for sure and I'm an Atlanta guy who you know I wouldn't say nothing like I love Atlanta so but I still gotta admit that okay I appreciate your Insight man how you doing brother I'm good bro I mean to put you on the spot but I'mma call you like let's go man I got you thank you man my brother all so that's 20 somebody send me 21 Savage number real quick we lay it to rest we can lay it to rest so but shout out shout out to little boat but like I said I mean sometime you just say things that's just you got to check some some things have to be fact checked when you talking about the butter Leathers the minks the the suede jackets all that's that's New York like who are the top five most fashionable people or give me a list of 10 if you can in New York City right now now now I don't want to talk about puff era and all that let's talk now me I'm I gotta be there that has to be in consideration I'm just going be honest with you sure honest with you what you want me to do what you want me to do you want me to do if you don't believe nobody will I would say like I said I don't I don't it's not my cup of tea but I would definitely put ASAP in there because I he you know he's transcended he's transcended culture when it comes to fashion and people really respect his fashion takes on what he does so I will put ASAP in there yep I would put um you know and it's different it's fashion for different reasons like my guy Nigel shout out to him like you know when he's been able to do with um BMX bike culture to get his own sneaker it's tough and and you know that's that that that's dope so I gotta you know I will put him in there from like the the sneaker the sneaker aspect of it like you know what I'm saying it's different categories like Troy is a sneaker head like I don't I don't have sneakers like that like you know what I'm saying so it's like Troy his his sneaker collection is up there he probably got one of the best sneaker collections Fat Joe Fat Joe forever F Joe for sure fat Joe's forever he's forever yeah he's forever fly um Fab Fab's forever Fab's a fashion yeah he's forever fa forever gonna throw it on he's forever gonna throw it on um you got the icons too like I said you got like people like Ralph luren stuff like that like you know what I'm saying who's still who's still out here moving the needle when it comes to fashion and he still gets fly like I mean like he's a New Yorker so that's why I'm saying it's it's a diversity like I look at people that's wearing suits too like then they they throwing that [ __ ] on Stephen A Smith like I said we talked about him the other day as a New Yorker he don't the NBA Finals he don't get enough credit for the [ __ ] that he does like he's he dresses he's a real New Yorker how he dresses as far as his suits always fit him super sharp he's not doing no big baggy suit [ __ ] fabric yeah yeah for sure y' y'all put it in chat who are some Atlanta fashion icons and who do y'all think Troy said Ronnie um from kff kif kif you from New York Ronnie yeah ASAP Ferg is on his list F I like fer shout out to ferelli uh Jim Jones is somebody that's always up yeah with the F DAV too I respect DAV fashion I've been seeing him a lot this summer because you know he had a team indictment so I've been I see him a lot on the basketball circuit and he's always fly I like the way he's dresses because it's it's it's nostalgic to the 90s um era like he'll wear like he I saw him with shorts with with Tims on and that's that 90s era like you know what I'm saying so DAV he get Fly dve Davies gets fly he's one of them he's one of the the dudes that's out there can we get a top five New York versus top five Atlanta qu 21 you see you losing it you losing it right quo quo put [ __ ] on bro it may not be your taste but he put some [ __ ] on all right um let's do this let's do this let's cities you had a lot of controversy around your top five City food list okay let's let's get to this this is the let's get this this is the main event so okay I have I put together so let's just preference this right we when I say we earn your leisure the whole conglomerate we've been traveling a lot since 20 since we started the show yep we traveled we went to Houston Texas we went to Oakland California we went to LA we went to Chicago Ohio Columbus Ohio Miami Jacksonville Florida Philadelphia I mean we've been everywhere just domestically I'm not talking about just domestically we've hit small towns big cities we've we we we're well traveled we're well traveled and even before that I was all traveled I've always traveled my whole life playing basketball Philippines Hawaii Maria sharova right so you got a great track record bro I a gonna lie I was like damn you with IM [ __ ] okay I'm well traveled yeah so part of my travel and part of anybody's travels that you eat right and I I'll preference this by saying this I I don't just eat like Troy has stomach complications so he doesn't eat a lot of different things he kind of stays to a strict diet I I'm I'm willing to try different things I don't eat I don't I will preference this by saying this I don't eat meat pork red meat chicken I did eat chicken for a very long time though and I did eat any meat anymore at all I don't eat I only eat fish gotcha okay but I I I never ate pork but I did previously eat turkey chicken lamb goat i' i' i' I eat at I've eaten those things my whole life so I'm still educated enough to speak on that even though I don't currently eat that currently and my list so I put together a list of top five and I I was in Harlem at a sushi spot in Harlem and I'm just like yo you know what I want to put together a food list just hit me spare the moment like 10:30 at night in list huh and my food list goes like this number five New Orleans list number four Los Angeles okay number three Houston number two Miami and number one New York now here's where I got the most push back Chicago was left off the list left off that's where I got a most push back the second push back was that New Orleans was too low on the list you had New Orleans at what five yeah yeah that's too long the third push back was that La was on the list the fourth push back was that Miami was too high on a list so okay let me let me I want to get your take on this but I also want to just rationalize my thought process in this yeah um why is New York number one I don't is that is that a question that's what I'm saying it goes back to the fact what are we talking about you can literally get any type of food that you want within 10 minutes in New York I'm talking about from East African food West African food Moroccan food Egyptian food fire Italian Italian food Sushi Chinese food just the world is your oyster Indian food and I'm that dude I eat all of that so I went F like I went to this crazy vegan Chinese restaurant Rand on the humble one of the best food experiences I ever had I went to a random Indian restaurant amazing um there's so many food choices just in just in Manhattan we not talking about Brooklyn or queen and experience to budon you go to last lap and last lap bar food better than some cities five star food let's keep it's not even a question like the the diversity of food is amazing un unmatched anywhere in the world now we got to talk about you just talked about as far as the high level of food we got probably have more festar restaurants in New York than anywhere anywh yeah and if you looking at like a car bone if you're looking at now even the new restaurant like Tatiana which is the hardest restaurant to get a reserv yeah um and you got the Philipe CHS you got the Nobles you got any of the high-end restaurants you have it right Y no problem more than anybody viby the viby spots like you said the say the Brooklyn Chop House where you can go there you can get great food and then it feels like you're in a party it's like a [ __ ] VI like what the hell's going on here like know eating or if I'm if I'm bottle service I don't know what's going it's just a Vibe like Soul pasta back in the day you can find a little offshoot spot to survive Little Italy go Hey listen num Uno we not gonna argue about can't do that we can't all right so New York now okay Miami here's why Miami might be a little here my now keep in mind my experiences your experiences is going to be dictated by your level of access and who the people that you have guiding your tour I'm just being honest with you so when we go to Miami Miami I'm not really eating so much of the cultural moments Miami for me is the high restaurants and The Vibes so I'm talking about the prime 112s I'm talking about um the uh the Carbones of the world I'm talking about uh the brick damn Troy what's the spot in Brickle that we go to yeah what's his up to spot from where we normally be at the the Brickle Vibe um it's just like the culinary experience that Miami has captivated feels like that's like a nightclub oh and a spot upstairs from where we normally stay oh okay everyone not gonna have that experience though for sure I understand but I just said my list is did you say your list on the post or did you say best cities my my my top okay my no no it's not gecko but gecko Swan but the other spot that we go to in Bickle that has The Upstairs Downstairs the out the outside joint with the duck with the pecking duck not poppy steak poppy steak A vibe too that's way better than the other one they like to go to with 80s Vibe um damn hold on now I'm actually curious to find out this this name of this restaurant me too we just name we just named 10 restaurants by the way bbro nope it's not bbro um it is called um damn that what's the name of that restaurant doesn't matter Miami it's just the food experience that they've cultivated may not be the most you know homegrown but they do have thex they do have the cubban restaurants and Haitian those are the Homegrown type Vibes I just I just man okay but but but that's an elevated curated it is experience for I'm a food snob I'm gonna be honest with you I am a food snob I'm not eating sexy fish can we be a sexy fish overrated bathroom's amazing to take photos sexy fish there's a lot of restaurants there's a lot of restaurants we go up the little Street make a left there's a lot there's a lot ofice man there's a lot man I ain't gonna lie to you um and it's a Vibe and you know it's just like just good energy you see yes kodo kotoo is the vibe codo legendary Komodo Legendary Legendary theck you'll take a girl in that you kind of like and really liking kodo the vibe so good kodo the vibe kodo the five Legend all right so okay maybe maybe I'm just a little bougie in my food experience yeah yeah yeah either a diner I remember after the uh Madison Square I'm like yeah I'm g go to you look me like you going to diner oh yeah we a doing diners we ain't doing diners I'm sorry I can't do diners 4:30 at night I have to go somewhere dietary restrictions but um okay so that's so that's why number two for me because I just have I can close my eyes and I can remember the Sparkles I can still remember the Sparkles yeah amazing if y'all go to Miami go to Komodo every day now komodo's a five Swan like I said swano it's it's a lot of go to Swan and Kiki after double back for drinks with sexy boy oh man on the balcony it's about it's about how you've curated your experiences if your experiences was not curated the right way you're not going to have if you go to New York and just eat pizza you GNA say oh this is bad like New York's food sucks like who eats Pizza who does that like who's going to new I'm not traveling to a city and the first thing I want to do is eat a Dollar Pizza I can eat pizza anywhere in the world um Houston Texas has good ass food absolutely well we not gonna play I'm not even gonna spend too much time on that but Toby took me to the spot what's the spot we ate at with Toby oh man I forgot the name of that spot it was me yeah and Jazz was there yeah oh that was amazing that was some good ass food man everything the shrimp that even like TR like trbg fire fire got Papo they got the papa I think called papot is another like now Houston got full they got Houston is a culinary Town experience Southern experience good F okay now here's why Los Angeles made four on my list once again it goes back to this it goes back to Miami it's the same type of vibe man when they when they had that DOA so what's the spot we had the DOA Solen Troy the first time not La while he while he remembers that Lavo when you get the eggplant when you get the parmesan and lavvo and you get the lavoo I feel like I'm doing commercials for these places but I have yeah this not a pay but a top five restaurants at each list will help la like you know we moved to LA for a month during the pandemic and like even currently ask my son like what's your favorite food he'd be like the um the the uh rock shrimp from um Noble at Malibu Noble malib no yeah no I'm saying like the these are the colonary experiences that we captivating when I first went to Delila and I got the um the zucchini um it was a zucchini pasta in Thea oh man Mr Nice Guy man I had some truffle fries and Mr Nice Guys man that's what I'm saying I know I don't know the experiences that everybody's getting I can't speak on that but I can only speak on my own personal experiences and I had some great culinary experiences in LA and La has a lot of vegan options a lot of most cities don't New York and La has a lot of vegan options so la you know they give fire oh man I had some great times in La man on the highend side but also on the regular side too shout out to Black Sam took us to Ethiopian restaurant that was fire um Mexican I've been to a bunch of Mexican restaurants in LA mom and pop joints fire so I feel like Los Angeles got a bad rap but Los Angeles has a bad rap in general if you go to La and you don't know the right people you're not gonna have a good experience yeah got you gotta know the right people you got to know where to go that's vitally important and the reason why I had New Orleans at number five is which is crazy look I love New Orleans but I feel like it's it has a lack of diversity they they they're the only city that has their own unique calling experience that's I miss that in a lot of cities though they have their own conary experience for sure but it's also limited right like you can't get good Indian food baby you can I'm just saying I haven't you you can't get good Indian food or if I want some some crazy vegan joint or some Thai food or some Ethiopian food I might I probably not gonna be able to get that in New Orleans I'm gonna get some catfish I'mma get some Creole uh what do they callbo Troy you need the gbo the gumball and all that seafood and everything you know and it's good it's good as hell it's also unhealthy we got we got have healthy cultural options in they putting butter they putting slabs of butter on everything man you gonna leave your cholesterol is going up at least 30 points after you leave New Orleans that is a fact so but the food is still good and Larry Marlo is my favorite yeah food entrepreneur in America and he'll be at invest Fest and I only eat at Larry's restaurants which is the best superstar entrepreneur like I don't think if y'all don't know go check out Larry like Larry's cooking no pun attended please yes Larry is a legend his food is amazing um and his you I love the food I love New Orleans I love the culture I love the food and number five is not a bad I like I put him at number 30 number five is a a I mean but they they should I'm going be real they should be higher I wouldn't be mad if you swapped New Orleans for Houston I don't think it should be but I think New Orleans definitely should be before La it got its own cultural Experience One of a Kind experience is great food is great um the first time I had alligator was there oh my God was amazing and I apologize to Chicago because I realized that Chicago probably should have been it should have been a tie at some point maybe they should have been tied with another city but Chicago definitely has good fool I was just disappointed with the Deep Pizza I'm just being honest with you I've heard yeah yep yeah that's where I went we went there and you know I've been heing about deep deep dish pizza my whole entire life and um it was just very disappointing but but it's an experience you got to go with the right people facts facts but we but shout out to cleos shout out to Cleo Southern um amazing experience and like I said we ate we ate at some good restaurants in Chicago so Chicago has very good it's like New York I think they have a lot of diversity and it and BR I apologize to Chicago I thought you had said something crazy man you see what shotti said I'm like what happened Chicago ain't on the list I'm like of what [Laughter] food people take that serious but all right there you go I'm that's it that's it yeah all right out of all those cities what are your top three restaurants to go to I mean Miami komoto poppy steak drinks and sexy fish amazing combination amazing go to Larry's Restaurant in New Orleans not just because we know him but food's amazing amazing entrepreneur um but yeah maybe that should be the next list the top let's do a a blackout top dinner date list I think that'll be a five I like that I like that so you so you like my list you just you just think I had a little just a little bit out of order New Orleans should at least been third I think what would what would be what would be your top five New York for sure uh probably Houston New Orleans Miami no no Chicago Miami I have Chicago fourth okay Chicago fourth yeah yeah and uh the LA spot this is some free game Kasa Madera that is oh you gave up the spot do they said I don't do I as my best dat nights in there oh I'm having man and and I don't know why Lavo took do Soul off their menu if you work at Lavo please reconsider putting it back please please respectfully speaking yes

like that but that's cool yeah so you're free to do whatever you want to do yeah I mean even if you well you always are free but yes not really because you could be with somebody that's you're not you're not with with but you're not free to do whatever you want no he's saying everybody has free will everyone has free will as a human being yes especially women her body her choice facts ask question ask you found out that she used her Free Will would you would you immediately lose a number there con lose a number I just push out of Heaven pushed Out of Heaven cool you just can't be my primary we but Fallen Angel Fallen Angel yeah but like my first question was not just you know I mean for the people that are coming up because y'all have some really successful people that watch the show and you know they're on to come up and maybe they're attracting some people that they never would have attracted a lot yeah so I mean it's dangerous and I think even I guess to the opposite side of your point and when people get more money it it's like more of a license almost for I mean for for most people I mean the truth is like when when most men get more money if they're not confident whatever level of women you before you had money is going to be the same after you get it you may get some women that may want to finesse you but the dudes who didn't have women eight years ago and they have money now they are no [ __ ] today just being real they can see and and for women I know a lot of men like to lead it's more men with money than ever publicly available right you got athletes retired athletes soccer players pop stars rap like all accessible via DM so you have to bring a little bit more than that to the table than just a bag women put in chat yes or no it's man with money everywhere will you be honest and that's why like with blackout even though I may get some push back on what I say I'm honest most these men be out here lying about everything do I could get T times the amount of women pandering like Derrick Jackson did but I would rather be honest and then those who [ __ ] with me they still [ __ ] with me for my honesty knowing the most these men out here like crazy I like that yeah C Rashad started with a story don't pay my guy to a corner now us right around the corner yo listen yeah let me let me just tell you so we had the conver we were talking about it and Rashad was like uh I think I said something like y you should talk about on Blackout he like yo you want come on I'm like bet let's no no no this happened in France it happened in France I don't think we talking about that in France we wasn't but happened in France where you said I want to come on Blackout because I have I forgot how you said it but got smoke with me why I got I I want to go at I you that's what you said I want to go at I what did I say you said I want to go at Ian it probably wasn't and this probably wasn't a topic but he be wanting to smoke and I'm like and a I just be want to argue with people sometimes so oh we can argue specific I'm G try to find something all so you you've watched the show you've watched blackout before yeah do you agree with the things that we say is pertaining to relationships do you agree what our relationship takes I agree with the freedom of speech the freedom no now don't you come on here and be Trump so you don't agree so you don't agree with our relationship and I want to be very clear I'm not giving advice to everyone I'm not trying to be a relationship expert there's no money there but I am telling men what you should do is just be honest these are my rules these are my investment principles when dating so when I get to saying fly yourself out cool if a woman doesn't have enough money to fly herself to me and I cash app her when she gets here I shouldn't [ __ ] with you anyway because I don't want to pay the $700,000 down the line if you get pregnant that's a fact so to to answer that question that it's such a it's a hard question because like do I agree with you what if you say 10 Things I agree with four our philosophy our overall arcing philosophy you have to agree with every single thing but I think you kind of have a you you kind of you you know the vibe as far as how we view things right myself in even our philosophies are a little bit different but they're kind of similar on a certain level so do you are are you in agreement with our philosophy when it comes to dating and relationships can you bottle up the philosophy in like a now you playing you playing chance no I'm not I'm just saying so okay okay okay so I don't don't know I don't know your whole philosophy on dating I don't know from from what you heard from what you have heard some of it yeah the danger of becoming successful a successful single man I believe is extremely dangerous I agree so as someone like um like a uh hate to talk about it but a lot of entertainers that are men that are successful have women coming at them they feel like they can do anything they want because they're almost Untouchable I guess my question now is do you ever want to be locked down to where you have one person where you can't enjoy some of the fruits of your labor or you desire yes do you desire to lock in and just have one in an ideal situation it would be one person for me um I think when you have like a great romantic relationship and chemistry with one person and they set your soul on fire and you guys get along well I I think that that's heaven on Earth is it tough to do I think in today's society is for a bunch of reasons I think it's done by Design even this conversation men versus women multiple people I think that's all done to keep us from building a family because if families are more connected uh designers make a lot less money media makes a lot less money you spend a lot less money and that money stays inside of the household but until then I'm going to have a little bit of fun and be honest about it but for me personally would I like to have one person yes for sure and if you I happen to run across you at a vest firstest but that's the thing Ian you have a person that you dearly care about why not work with the person that you dearly care about and why are you still hunting why are you hunting I I I don't hunt I I attract that was hun hunt no it's a gatherer it's a difference between hunting and Gathering two different he's a gatherer not a hunter yeah Hunter is when on the Proud you're looking I don't be on the Proud for you're stalking out just your target for weeks at a time a gather is just it's an abundance of of opportunity and he just harvesting yeah and I'm super selective like I may be vocal about it and maybe public about it but I probably turned I probably get I don't know 60 DMS a week asking me to to kick it I say no to majority of [ __ ] first off you're you can't trick me into thinking that you're just just attracting like you haven't seen something that you liked and you try to figure your way the ratio of hunt gather is skewed is probably for everyone that I personally hunted that may be three 400 that have tried to get my attention but if you've hunted that makes you a hunter am I correct you I could be Hemley that's fine cool yeah like proactively looking I'm not spending all of my time chasing after women I'm chasing after purpose Dave do do women do do women try to um approach you not really bro no not really not an answer is do do they try to approach yes or noach are you married Dave my answer is no and this is like an honest answer bro but you said not really though so that must what does that mean well I say not really because my wife seems to think that I'm blind to it like oh but I'm thinking no that's just you being a wife you may be territorial but literally don't know I don't get no DM like anybody's ever approached you and wanted to be in your company and seeing the success that you buil and you're funny and a good-looking guy and all that like not one person in Atlanta yeah that's men and women if you want to be around so you you how long you been married six years and how long you've been together six and a half I met my wife Tinder I met my wife on Tinder okay six months later we were married that was six years and three kids ago okay so when you met her what about her made you say this is the person I want to be with forever because I I want to know how to get to the husband bag come reframe this they probably gonna cook me in the chat let me show you let me tell you the thing so for one her Tinder profile just had like nice pictures and then I found her Instagram for one she didn't have you Hunter yeah 100% I'm not shine away from that I was on there hunting yeah swiping through yeah but here's here's here it was two things one one she was attractive of course but one she didn't have a whole lot of followers and it was something about that that I like like in the three digits Gym number one well you you're you're in line with us on that one agree two there was no look back at it pictures there were no ah there were no sexy pictures sexy photos now you preaching okay yeah how to catch wifey online yes keep preaching but the but the challenge is when the women post like that the guys normally hit them because they know that because they try to hit them they're the gatherers okay they know they're putting out the bait for the hunters but let me all right so let me ask you this you've been you you met your wife on Tinder six years ago and within six months you married her not even engaged you were actually married in six months yeah intentionally you were looking for somebody to get married to right I wasn't no I was no you were no you were you can't meet somebody no it's impossible it's impossible how's that impossible you meet somebody on Tinder and then you get married in six months that means you was looking for a wife no I was not looking for a wife I was looking for somebody I could if I was looking for a wife then I just married whoever I was talking to at the time he wasn't talking to anybody at the time that's why he was on Tinder how does that mean I wasn't talking or you was double dipping yes if you were talking to somebody why were you on Tinder why were you on Rashad that's why would Ian be why would he say that about what he said about invest Fest when he has someone that he cares about I didn't have a girlfriend Tinder Tinder is a dating app Dave tinder's a dating app that's different from we're in the world and we just come across somebody at invest Fest that's completely you were intentional you were intentional at on a dating app that leads me to believe that you didn't you didn't there there was nothing else going on Rashad that's crazy I you know I look at app my challenge here's my challenge I've always my entire life had a had a challenge being in the club and walking up to somebody that I liked or being in the mall I'm not mad at you I'm not but why so let me give you my perspective if I'm on the app I get to walk up to whoever I want and give a shot and I don't feel no way whether you say yes or not because you either Swip but there's more competition there though but I'm not looking at that it doesn't mean I'm it's I'm looking it it was Uber Eats you feel like you trying to find something to eat I'm H were you were you were you a seral Tinder no no no how long you on Tinder before you find uh the the woman that's your wife now months few months but in that few months were you on every day no no how how often were you like a gold tender Platinum member how often are you dash whatever you're hungry I might be at the crib I a got nothing to do I want my swipe what we doing at least a good conversation shotty if they see somebody in the vest they like or Atlanta what's the best way to approach in a cool way that will probably lead to success hello how you doing that's the always that's always the best hey how you doing that's always the best that's always the best we we can make this more complicated hey how you doing hey be a person just be a regular person don't try to be extra witty extra funny if you're not don't try to come with some crazy hairbrain picky how you do do a pickup line yeah that's the best pickup line time does Robert Smith speak work that ain't gonna work that ain't it so all right so you've been together six and a half unbroken years I'm assuming right yeah unbroken unbroken what do you mean unbroken I think separation no oh no no no no no unbroken there's a chain there's no the chain well School me and Rashad how do we turn from some days it's broken some days it's not have you cheated on your wife no no okay so since we're doing thisam what there's nobody that can say in the last six years that I even remotely DM them something fous this this is what we doing so I'm just saying all right so you have it but I asked you that question because I already knew the answer I know Dave doesn't cheat on his wife so what I'm saying is that in six and a half years not one woman has tried to talk to you chance I've seen you in person smart icy you play humble you do my movie you play humble but you can tell you got some cash flowing beautiful podcast set come on or we just gonna play a game are we playing a game I can honestly say bro time be like I love your podcast here here's here's what I here's what I think there's some people that just don't approach me possibly because the way I carry myself I don't I don't give out the energy that I'm looking for anything ever so but you don't have to give out energy that you're looking for anything for people to approach you I don't know I bro I was wondering the same thing if I'm being honest why don't nobody hit me up don't nobody hit me up remember iur was like y don't nobody hit me I don't no one think to say when you married no one sends me a message nobody's like yo Dave are you willing to cheat on your wife I don't know I don't get that that's crazy one time okay okay last actually last year at the invest this happened and I don't know if it was a I don't know what it was but I'm taking a picture you be able take pictures you put your arm around the shoulder take a picture so the young lady takes her other hand and puts it on my abdomen gotcha during the picture and I froze cuz my wife was actually there I didn't know what to do this never happened to me before wait did your wife take the picture no she had walked away to young lady comes up my arms around the shoulder smile she puts her hand on my stomach and I didn't know what to do like when somebody gets violated and they're like I just freeze I don't know what to do freeze yeah yeah so I took the picture and then I was just afraid to tell my wife what happened so I said it on a podcast and Don Wasing are you are you disappointed that nobody has ever tried to talk to you I'm not disappointed so I don't really care but it was a it was a question seem like a little bit a little bit we all want to be wanted on a certain level even if you don't want it it's just you know just to know just to know sh you gotta follow up because you're listen we've had some violating questions but do you cheat on your wife is top 10 you gold [Laughter] medal okay Rashad okay okay this is a good question you'll get married one day right been married before did you know that are you GNA get married again but did you know that I didn't know that now you know you're gonna get married again I'm open to it for sure Ian you're gonna get married again right I've never been married the first time or you're gonna get married it just looked like it on the gram are you gonna get married do you want to get married I I would love to yes okay what's the secret think I'm about uh I don't I don't know I'm still figuring out myself we all figuring it out my question is and I I'll direct it to Ian and uh Rashad can answer it to somebody here said that most men cheat most men are going to step outside of their marriage who said that is that no I didn't say that I said I said most people I never said men okay most people most people said most people do y'all think that y'all won't cheat on your wife when you get one no if I get married I won't when I was with my baby you're not above the stats you're not above the most my my discipline is superior it's it's a thing like like he even said like it's it's you only cheat when you when you you're lying about something and it's a you know what I'm saying like it's a that who wants to live hey who wants to live being a liar that's more yeah it's more of a burden yep it's more of a burden than anything like being a liar is probably the biggest burden that you ever have cuz then you have to you have to double track your your footsteps you have to make sure that you're telling the right stor too much like you said I mean who who would want to um live under a rock like that but that's that's assuming that you find somebody that you really really into but you can cheat it could be a y'all out in the south of France don't matter Vibe if you are y'all go to strip gloves y'all go to strip gloves do we go toour yeah have I been yes I don't I frequen um a few establish M over my take the relationship that I'm referring to I'm not a degenerate like I'm not like Friday night like I'm at the bar like with ones like bad investment but it's also a good place a good good Intel well like when the recession first started to break when I started to ask the girls a girl collection in Vegas are people spending more or less she was telling me in order with the ball players they still spending the football players soccer players but everybody else the dope boys that no no something's coming but I I look at I look at the strip club different I don't look at the strip club how you look at it Dave like I'm not going there with the anticipation that I'm gonna fall in love with a stripper I know that he didn't say he was gonna fall he said he can be enticed I didn't go on dinner anticipating I was gonna fall in love with my wife but it happened no no I'm just saying if like if I was a you dat the stripper if you weren't married sh C you off can I date a stripper oh that's crazy I don't see it good this this my philosophy on this if you go to a strip club you know that there's a it's almost imposs you're not gonna do anything with a stripper I mean unless you're gonna pay thousands of who but the average person is not going to go to that length you know you know it's just entertainment that's just their job they don't care about you they're gonna see somebody else an hour later it's all it doesn't mean 10 minutes later after they sweep that money up off the floor it doesn't mean anything whereas you go to a club now anything can happen that's a more intimate environment so I don't look at strip club the same way you look at them I don't I don't look I don't I go to a strip club just to literally just catch the vibe have some fun you know it's not I'm not necessarily the girls are just the added element to it it's like that's not like the main focus of like oh I'm laser focused me you see me I got thousand I'm just throwing the money like I ain't really like yo I met you where you from how' you end up in this situation um what's your horoscope sign say you say hey hello how you doing but I'm saying I don't think that your intention and what happens is the same necessarily because I think this is a bigger conversation about control and choice right so like uh if I like somebody and I decide I want them and I'm locked in on them I don't care I don't turn on people who was more attractive more would have been better for my career or brand sh I was looking at some messages last week like damn I can't believe I turned this down for that but when I'm it's a discipline thing to be real shy seen me do listen we went to London oh girl came to London went to Mexico right even rad was like yo bro you gonna give all this up right now yep May being a mistake but I I loved our time together on what I'm saying is you can't here's a I I like you're saying Who Wants to be a liar though but Ian you've had I don't know have you ever have y'all ever cheated on anybody what's the power Dynamic that you feel comfortable with in a relationship what you mean you think it should be a like who has the power in your relationship who has the power I look at it as absolute I think it's a mutual respect and whoever better depends it depends who's better at the thing so I think my wife spends more time with the kids I take care of all the bills in times of executive decisions the executive makes his decision right so um I hear you but there's a leader there's a leader who's what's the power huh it depends on the topic bro look look look look if it has something to do with the kids my wife is amazing with that stuff she wins she's got power you're very good at not answering questions Dave no no no I you're you're not giving a good question I am giving you a good question that's a question question to ask okay who has the power in the relationship that's a my relationship it's not a hard question to answer bro it's really not wait till you get married again I've been married before who who had the power of your relationship I'm an old school dude bro I'm just it's it's just one which is why you're no longer married that's not true for conversation sake no it's not true not true you're old school saying I control the conversation first off I'm probably winning in the chat right now you can win the chat we talking about life right no but you know what I'm saying so I guess what I'm saying is runs my household how having the power in the household having the power does not mean that you're a tyrant it doesn't mean that you're a dictator that's a false that's the that's the western civilization that has pushed all of this agenda and has ruin that's actually ruin more families than anything if you if you want to be honest about it that's actually that actually is maybe the reason right from the reverse opposite side of it is that people don't understand that there has to be power Dynamic and women want great leadership girls to tell you now I want to cut my brain off that that that that narrative is the reason why most marriages fail why people aren't married because there is a how you can't answer the question as a man that's that's an issue for me right because I feel like as a man you you you have to be a leader of your household that's important you have to have the power dynamic in your household that doesn't mean that you just tell your wife what to do and she listens and she has no voice of course not there's some things that she could Lead You In And there's some things that you can lead her in but yes there's a leader there's one leader has to be one leader like LeBron James is there's some things on the team that Anthony Davis does better than LeBron right there's some things that but LeBron start in the Olympics when it was time to to carry the flag LeBron James is a flag bearer there's no there's no question when you have you can't answer that question or orky Waters I'm not saying for you but just for a lot of people that causes issues that causes issues but Dave to you since you're the married one for since me and Rashad are not married what changes or improvements do we need to make to then be husband material um uh I think we gota really identify what you want what you want in a person um you definitely got to get you got to let go like really let go of the streets and make a a real commitment I I've let go not let go what yeah I've I've let go said you have a person that you deeply care about but if somebody is an invest stre you love the 85 have you heard stories of me being in the streets he's no that's the best type of person to be in the streets they don't hear the stories that's why I asked the first question crazy man Dave is crazy man Dave's crazy man but I don't know y listen I think that's why I'm I'm fluid in my advice because you're fluid PR just passed wait what every situation is different I'm fluid in my got you okay that's what so Rashad says yo who who has the power in the house like it depends it depends on the situation I don't walk in the house and claim that I have the power my wife saying you don't have to claim it it's not something a leader never has to tell somebody to follow him yeah that's a great quote that I that I heard years ago and I and I I understand it a leader never has to tell anybody to follow him the person that has to tell somebody to follow him is not a leader if you don't remember anything Shan if you don't remember anything else that I ever told you in life remember that a leader doesn't have to tell anybody to follow them the person that tells other people to follow them is not a leader I feel that let me I'll put it this way if you ask my wife that question she'll probably say I run the house or control the house I don't know how to say that because she like manages the house the house itself she knows when the bills get come in when the cleaner comes all that kind of stuff but does she follow me she' probably say yes I follow him whatever he says I'm good because she can trust that I'm not going to lead her into nothing crazy yeah and that's what's important not leading to the wrong direction yes we we don't want that to happen appreciate you coming on man thank you I thought you had a lot more smoke for me this was kind I appreciate you before we let you go has Trevor sha found another billionaire for you to interview let me keep no bro no not work on it we not what nine days away yo listen I I decided that and I called AB today I said yo okay because I want to do hot seat and yeah I guess y'all got 50 Cent and all that I want do SE I guess y y'all didn't have the space for it so I'm about to just take my camera and I'm about to go to the vendor Marketplace I'm putting I just thing you feel me I just need some extra passes AB I mean but one interview with a billiona there could be enough right can I get one you already given one so before you leave uh can you give few tips on marketing yes before you leave can you Hey listen man if Ian made you some money drop drop something in chat drop money in ch it yes in chat man you give us tips to to grow a media platform or podcast ab and also have you considered what Rashad told you about maybe not calling it a podcast Su and changing the name of it no for scale it was a great piece of advice tell you let me tell you let me tell you so I was just at V time yesterday and I got a chance to talk to Gary V you like get these little have a conversation I said Gary I did this podcast Summit 750 people last year uh we just finished the last one 1100 people I said what do you feel about the podcast he's like yo I'm bullish on it he said like I'm really on that and he said I haven't I haven't like really figured it out enough to like really like go all in but I was like yo I did this podcast Summit I want to talk to you about partner he's like yo take my email I want to have a conversation about it because he's interested podcasting isn't going anywhere so you gotta you got hold on to your vision but what if you can hold on to the vision but if a name change makes it grow 7x 5x is it not worth potentially looking at well yeah of course but you don't know what's going to grow 57x I could hold on concept we don't know yes you do if you okay let's go to data if we look at the data is streaming now bigger than podcasting and aggregate yes but if you combine podcasting streaming influencers one other thing then I think it can scale because I think most people are intimidated and podcasting and aggregate has went down over the last two years now to your point what you made on the show in comparison to 2018 2019 is still up but I think what Rashad was trying to do is like okay take the four best categories and make them into one which I'mma Be honest with you when he said it I said this [ __ ] gave you a real answer when he could have kept that [ __ ] and Brilliant first off y don't never get a media answer but in in so we cover all the topics but I guess even so I'm like just branding it differently which I get but I've gotta I don't know I have a I have a niche a market that I'm you you have a formula that you feel comfortable with I respect it if Gary ve would have told you it it might have been it might have been different but who knows well if I talk to a bunch of people and it starts doubling down like people are like tripling down then I'm I can self assess yeah but it's not like everyone's telling me I think Rashad is brilliant of course and anything you do is just gonna work but I too have a vision and this is a a point for everybody just because you have a mentor doesn't mean that they're right so even when I'm coaching somebody I'm very careful of telling them what to do because they might have an idea in their head that I never thought of so I can't tell them they're wrong and we won't know until time goes by but yes sh's one of my mentors for sure I'll say that publicly um but I I just got a vision only time will tell I'm here to support you Vision I'm here I appreciate you man thank you so much brother appreciate it yo Ian are you doing a keynote yes Sunday okay yeah we got to find somebody from the interview bro I I was G to say maybe if you listen to The Vision he would have had lined up was that why I Missie on way was there a gatekeeper I didn't change the name I can't do Hot Seat publicly and I can't get a billionaire is that what happened Rashad you're you're doing a what was you about to do interview somebody or actually do a presentation interview somebody if I'm being honest why why I love love it bro I would much rather facilitate a conversation than do a keynote that's what I'm pushing for like like speaking gigs not like a keynote let me just interview you I love it last question how take my session away from me though you know I mean since you said that how do you formulate your questions for your guest because I think you gave me one of my best interviews very thoughtful how do you curate and go through all the information that you need to to make an amazing uh interview for the people that you he does it on the spot you do it on a spot right yeah I going with a blank canvas I'm interested you really yeah I'm interested in a person he freestyles yeah yeah you Dan Kathy I got a chance to like talk to I'm just interested in this human so I got questions it's a talent he's definitely a talented person do you have any more billionaire slots left though just potentially I I'll let you know I'll send you he can hold me down bro I got you message I'll send you a text message you never know you never know thank y'all for having me man I appreciate you if nobody ever told y'all I'm sure to tell you a lot uh you guys are changing the culture forever I mean seriously showing people financially lit financial literacy making money creating cool and the way you all even handle um handle like the attacks what attacks it never happen that's what I'm saying bro like it's it's inspirational because nobody that did anything great doesn't get attacked it just doesn't work that way and the way y'all handle it with such Grace and y'all keep moving forward and Rashad put up okay now they come at the outfits and he's doubling down on what should I wear the outfits are being revealed I all jokes aside I'm super inspired by everything y'all do man so love yall Brothers anything I can do please let me know I'm always here thank you brother appreciate apprciate there you have it ladies and gentlemen David shans yeah shout out to my brother go check out his podcast social proof um hot seat yeah hot seat is fire I want to do a hot SE with him one day and and Grill some people but also too a great lesson business lesson write this down for those who want the gyms uh those who are not fans of you or haters are the best consultants for your brand write down everything that they say use those improvements to grow the business it's helped me tremendously it's helped me tremendously so yeah okay all right well that was U I didn't really know where that conversation was going to go but uh me either entertaining to say the least for sure and and my thing is like if people have an issue with it if you're not in relationship with me or us why does it matter shouldn't matter um what you think about s Walker's comment on Drake on Breakfast Club man I think it was interesting he talked about Drake being you know kind of appropriate in the culture of Houston Texas and not actually working with Houston artist enough the same way that he worked with Atlanta artist I would say from Drake's perspective he probably like the artists in Atlanta are more popular than Houston artists right so I mean like it's easier to work with artists that are you know they have more artists in Houston that I don't think that's a controversial statement for me to say that that are mainstream they have more main artist so he was like I guess he wants to kind of he wanted him to kind of work with artists that may not be well known and help them raise up yeah but you know I don't think he's obligated to do that though I remember a time when Drake mood Houston I mean he wasn't what he is now but I remember at a time when people didn't think Drake will last so it's I know I [ __ ] with Walker like dearly um but I remember at a time in Houston even though he was backed by Jazz and J Prince most people were not the biggest fan of him so but I finally figured out how he can revive and um TV Gucci I I hit TV Gucci by Drake coming to invest Fest so I'll let y'all know in a couple days who Who TV Gucci one of his guys an artist okay yeah so how can he be how can he revive his career um I everything that they saying that he's doing wrong I think he needs to number one um over the next four years sign 80 artists Houston Atlanta La New York give them 8020 deals the artist get the 80 you keep the 20 you go to Lucian make a new label and get to work now all this industry versus Drake [ __ ] that y'all want to do it will turn the tide if he's given majority of the profits to the artist but he's still in aggregate will get a bunch of money on the back end like meech was going to do with BMF records and when dude get out if you put your arm around dude and put dude up you really gonna set the [ __ ] Streets On Fire Drake call my phone Jonathan call my phone now what sign every podcaster every influencer okay cool it's war time cool great they say like him is it even worth it I mean he's he's made hundreds of millions of dollars he's in his late 30s he's ran rap for 15 years you could just walk away let nobody run you off your block that's true that's true even the moments where I may want to fall back and then somebody a pipe up and say something I'm like I wanted to just go chill for three months but now I gotta I have to defend my territory because I don't want to look like you encroach on my territory and took it I may not even want the land you're not gonna just take my little parcel from me no I feel you that's so but but I think the best way to defeat those that are trying to attack you by the colonizer and appropriation and all that [ __ ] okay help them get a bag yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah final thoughts what do you think about this black s interview on big boy I think it was dope I think it was a very powerful conversation you know I know I know Sam he's goingon to be at invest Fest obviously so we buil a relationship with him but um we interviewed him our interview was a lot shorter like 20 minutes more focused on business because we interviewed other other all the other people more money in as well but that was like a first time I've really seen him speak like long form in an hour conversation and went from his Beginnings to you know him hustling the DVDs and of course got to the nip situation um so I think it was dope to kind of hear his perspective on his life like you know from being a kid to everything you know it was dope conversation very powerful yeah um I encourage everybody to check it out if you haven't but yeah that was that's uh takes a lot man overcome that type of um hurt you know from uh that was his best friend to nip who was his brother who got killed and you know it's just like everything that you work for you know people it's just very tough difficult situation so um but shout shout out to Sam man salute to Sam rest in peace to nip and and um yeah was and kudos to Big Boy too I think he I think he conducted the interview in a very job great manner how he positioned the questions and everything I thought it was very Tastefully done how long do you think before the truth comes out about what really happened to the world you can skip it if you want to but I don't know the truth so I can't I can't really say like what when when the truth will come out or not because I don't I don't know um but you know if the I mean the truth should come out if if it hasn't come out already because there been stuff that's come out already right we somebody's been convicted and has gotten sentenced to jail and you know all of that so if there's more to the story then I think that you know I think it would be um beneficial for the family for foreclosure for it to come out but I don't know I really don't know anything I don't know any details so I can't you know yeah how how what do you feel about hopefully it comes out soon I think uh Sam alluded to it I don't want to speak on their business because those situ situations are tricky and you know I've had stuff that's happen to family and I know how that can go so I'll leave La business and La business but I think if you know you know and I think it needs to be talked about a little bit more so but we won't do it I'm cool yeah but rest in peace n man rest in peace it's unfortunate situation man senseless in the grand scheme of Life absolutely it just it doesn't even make sense but um especially like with the wave of investing getting bigger for those you don't know nipy was one of the first black people that was talking about crypto 2014 2015 Real Estate Development coming the brand was getting bigger like already icon but he was about to be on iconic status Vector 9 like man so yeah well there you have it ladies and gentlemen blackout us out marking Mondays and check out blackout live with shed and sharp Friday next Friday we out here in Atlanta we're gonna be in Atlanta next Friday talking to Shannon sh that's gonna be a legendary amazing I'm getting my questions together now me too out ask I got it's a lot I'm interested to hear his point of view on a few different things so I'm looking forward to that conversation my final question for you you think it's a smear campaign going on around Kan to get all of his masters from him because this week it came out that he's on nitrous from his doctor um we talked about it before but like what's nitrous drugs yeah like uh whippets laughing gas I think it was a smear campaign from the minute he started to you know go against the system there's always gonna be forces that are not happy about you you know when he's talking about record labels when he's talking about shoe companies when he's talking about fashion at the highest level I mean you know you have powerful people that you go against it's not they're not just going to take it on the chin and you're a powerful person yourself so yeah I think there's been there's been efforts to try to um you know marginalize his voice for a long time so e even with uh the rec we talked about Lucian gr running Universal his son run Atlantic then Julie Greenwall gets fired legend in the business right now all of a sudden cuz Julie got fired Atlantic wants all this money from the vultures album I'm like that's kind of suspicious but and of course shout to Mama Kardashian Mark and the genius but when he made those comments about her that's when Ari got involved and tried to tear some [ __ ] down like you have to be care one day we'll have a conversation about why it's important to not upset the powers that be because then the people won't do anything to defend you like like the conversation you told me last week I had mind was blown you have to be careful in life who you offend um because it may not be worth it and then if you do offend the wrong people will the people that love you come and support you it's tough it's tough man it's tough man but all right my brother it's been real I appreciate you I'll see you guys next week man tap in love
