[0:00] Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, he's one of the most successful artists
[0:02] Speaker 1: in the world.
[0:02] Speaker 2: It's Mike Towers.
[0:04] Speaker 3: Let's say a couple of artists, they make songs like,
[0:07] Speaker 3: I'm out in the club. They're not even out. Shout
[0:11] Speaker 3: out to all the Latinas. I love them all.
[0:13] Speaker 4: Can you say which country has the best looking Latinas?
[0:16] Speaker 3: You know, my father's alive and everything, and I love
[0:18] Speaker 3: him and all that, but he wasn't in my house.
[0:20] Speaker 2: My dad was in the house. I think that actually
[0:22] Speaker 2: was the problem.
[0:24] Speaker 4: I want to ask you quickly, too, about working with
[0:25] Speaker 4: Benny Blanco.
[0:26] Speaker 3: Benny Blanco's crazy, bro. He told me crazy shit, bro,
[0:29] Speaker 3: in the studio. Aliens.
[0:30] Speaker 2: Unidentified flying objects.
[0:31] Speaker 4: Do you believe in aliens?
[0:32] Speaker 3: I believe in them, yeah.
[0:33] Speaker 2: I saw them with my eyes.
[0:34] Speaker 3: You saw aliens?
[0:35] Speaker 2: Well, they were lights.
[0:36] Speaker 4: Are you close with Bad Bunny?
[0:38] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
[0:38] Speaker 4: Who would win in a WWE match? You were Bad Bunny.
[0:41] Speaker 4: You were Bad Bunny.
[0:50] Speaker 1: Here's the thing about Mike, bro. Who knows what he's
[0:52] Speaker 1: going to say next? He's spontaneous.
[0:55] Speaker 4: He's Mike. He's Mike.
[0:56] Speaker 3: I'm Mike, too. You're Mike. Yeah, we got that in common.
[0:59] Speaker 2: That's right.
[1:00] Speaker 1: Except I think you're a little cooler because you spell
[1:02] Speaker 1: your name with a Y. Yeah, because it's a little.
[1:05] Speaker 3: It's like a transition in my career. I started with
[1:10] Speaker 3: the I, but then.
[1:14] Speaker 3: My nickname, they put it like Young King. So then
[1:17] Speaker 3: I spelled it with the Y. It was the same song.
[1:19] Speaker 3: So it was like a before and after.
[1:21] Speaker 2: Sick. You could never do that.
[1:23] Speaker 4: I mean, I could. You know what the name is?
[1:26] Speaker 3: You could. How old are you?
[1:28] Speaker 4: Bro, you really want to start off on this note, bro?
[1:30] Speaker 4: I thought we were friends, bro.
[1:33] Speaker 5: Oh, really?

[1:34] Speaker 4: 40.
[1:36] Speaker 3: 30. I'm older than you, bro.
[1:39] Speaker 2: Well, you're young, too. You're like 31?
[1:41] Speaker 3: 31, yeah.
[1:42] Speaker 2: How do you feel being 31?
[1:42] Speaker 1: 30 is the new 20.
[1:45] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what everyone's saying. That's what they're saying when
[1:47] Speaker 2: I got here.
[1:47] Speaker 4: What's 40?
[1:48] Speaker 3: The new 30.

[2:21] Speaker 1: we have 500 episodes deep at this point, and.
[2:26] Speaker 2: No one has ever come with this many people.
[2:29] Speaker 3: We're in PR. I come with my friends and the
[2:33] Speaker 3: little ones, they wanted to come, so... We here, bro.
[2:36] Speaker 2: Rob Markman This is crazy. This is the entourage?
[2:38] Speaker 3: Yeah. Part of it. Part of it. It's like my
[2:41] Speaker 3: people being with me daily. All of them are not
[2:45] Speaker 3: working with me. They're my friends.
[2:46] Speaker 2: Rob Markman Oh, really? What are you guys up to
[2:48] Speaker 2: right now?
[2:49] Speaker 3: I was finishing a couple of the videos of my
[2:52] Speaker 3: new project, and then I had a free time. Was
[2:57] Speaker 3: with the little one, and when he knew I was
[2:59] Speaker 3: coming here, he was like, nah, I'm going with you.
[3:01] Speaker 2: Rob Markman Really? We should get him on.
[3:03] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[3:04] Speaker 3: He crazy, he crazy.
[3:05] Speaker 2: He's a champ.
[3:06] Speaker 3: Yeah, the champ, bro.
[3:07] Speaker 4: He's a wrestling fan?
[3:09] Speaker 3: He's a wrestling fan. Sick.
[3:11] Speaker 4: How old is he?
[3:12] Speaker 3: Five years, but he's obsessed with it right now. You
[3:15] Speaker 3: know when the kids start with that era, like wrestling, everything,
[3:20] Speaker 3: and I'm watching TV and he comes.
[3:23] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[3:24] Speaker 4: Off the top rope.
[3:25] Speaker 3: Yeah, bro, crazy.
[3:26] Speaker 1: We were talking downstairs. So he's got a five-year-old son.
[3:29] Speaker 1: I have a seven-month-old daughter. Is it the feeling of
[3:32] Speaker 1: being a dad to a son?
[3:33] Speaker 2: What's that like?
[3:35] Speaker 3: Bro, you know, everybody is like telling you, since you
[3:38] Speaker 3: know you're going to be a father, they said like, oh,
[3:40] Speaker 3: that's going to change your life and blah, blah, blah.
[3:42] Speaker 3: But until you got it in your hands and you
[3:46] Speaker 3: realize that it's not for you what you're doing, shit change, bro.
[3:50] Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
[3:52] Speaker 3: When did.
[3:52] Speaker 1: I'm asking kind of like selfishly.
[3:55] Speaker 2: When did it go from like a baby blob to.
[3:59] Speaker 3: Like what's baby blob?
[4:01] Speaker 2: I just made it up. Like, I don't know. Like for.
[4:05] Speaker 1: My daughter's seven months old and she's still developing a personality.
[4:08] Speaker 1: She's finding out who she is.
[4:10] Speaker 2: She just screams. Yeah, she's doing a lot of screaming.
[4:13] Speaker 1: I don't really know how to translate all of her actions,
[4:16] Speaker 1: but when did your son develop a personality where you
[4:19] Speaker 1: could really start connecting with him?
[4:21] Speaker 3: You know what? I had him in the pandemic, so
[4:24] Speaker 3: I had that connection with him two years. I was
[4:27] Speaker 3: not flying and all that, so I created that gap
[4:32] Speaker 3: with him. I built that gap with him. He's like, bro,
[4:36] Speaker 3: he's like an adult, but a little one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[4:40] Speaker 3: And he's always with me and know people by his name.
[4:45] Speaker 3: He's like crazy, bro.
[4:46] Speaker 2: Sick.
[4:47] Speaker 3: When you see a little kid like that, he's like
[4:49] Speaker 3: a computer, bro. He remembers, memorizes everything. Smart, smart.
[4:54] Speaker 4: Do you got to be careful what you're saying in
[4:55] Speaker 4: front of him?
[4:56] Speaker 3: Careful.
[4:56] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[4:57] Speaker 3: What I say, what I do, everything. Even, you know,
[5:02] Speaker 3: the most... The thing that you don't even imagine, he
[5:06] Speaker 3: gonna remember and he can tell.
[5:08] Speaker 4: I'm watching him right now and I'm like.
[5:09] Speaker 3: He doesn't understand English, but he's like, they talking about me.
[5:12] Speaker 3: He know right now.
[5:13] Speaker 4: Oh, he only speaks Spanish?
[5:15] Speaker 3: Yeah, he always speaks Spanish.
[5:16] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[5:17] Speaker 4: When will you start to teach him English?
[5:18] Speaker 3: He's like, you know, in school they teach him, but
[5:21] Speaker 3: he's like in the basic, five years, but he understands
[5:25] Speaker 3: the basic things. Yeah, yeah.
[5:27] Speaker 2: So bro, born and raised in Puerto Rico.
[5:30] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[5:32] Speaker 3: How you feel about Puerto Rico? About your perspective? How
[5:36] Speaker 3: you see the island?
[5:37] Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, I wasn't sure what to expect when I
[5:39] Speaker 2: first came here.
[5:41] Speaker 1: Me and my brother are obsessed with this place. We're
[5:44] Speaker 1: in love with the island. And like I said, we
[5:46] Speaker 1: weren't sure exactly how long.
[5:49] Speaker 2: We were going to be here. And now it's clear
[5:51] Speaker 2: we're going to raise kids here.
[5:52] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[5:55] Speaker 1: Where we live, it's so nice.
[5:56] Speaker 2: We call it paradise. It truly is. It feels like
[6:00] Speaker 2: that to us.
[6:01] Speaker 1: And our lifestyles are.
[6:05] Speaker 2: Pretty work intensive. We're just working.
[6:07] Speaker 4: You as well.
[6:08] Speaker 2: You're just working.
[6:09] Speaker 6: And you know.
[6:11] Speaker 1: being isolated on an island and you look outside and
[6:14] Speaker 1: it's beautiful, it makes you want to just work that
[6:16] Speaker 1: much harder.
[6:17] Speaker 3: Keep focusing.
[6:18] Speaker 2: Yeah, man.
[6:18] Speaker 3: All we do is train.
[6:19] Speaker 2: We're in my gym. We showed you around.
[6:21] Speaker 3: This is like your lifestyle is like your work.
[6:24] Speaker 4: It is.
[6:25] Speaker 2: I'm sure it's the same for you.
[6:26] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[6:27] Speaker 2: Just always hustling.
[6:28] Speaker 3: Always, bro.
[6:29] Speaker 2: And you've always been like that.
[6:31] Speaker 3: I started in here when I was 19 years old.
[6:35] Speaker 3: And you know, it's level by level.
[6:36] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[6:37] Speaker 3: And the more you go up, the more responsibilities and
[6:40] Speaker 3: all that.
[6:40] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[6:41] Speaker 3: I've been learning since day one.
[6:42] Speaker 2: More money, more problems.
[6:43] Speaker 3: More money, more problems.
[6:45] Speaker 4: Jorge told us you're not a big partier. No parties.
[6:50] Speaker 3: Nah, nah, I cannot say that. I like to party, but...
[6:55] Speaker 3: But you know, it's like by season. When you know
[6:58] Speaker 3: it's time for grinding and then time for shining, you
[7:02] Speaker 3: know how to do it. I don't like to go
[7:04] Speaker 3: out daily.
[7:05] Speaker 4: When you party, where do you like to go?
[7:08] Speaker 3: It depends, but I like to go... to see the
[7:11] Speaker 3: vibe like what's real, where the real deal goes. I
[7:16] Speaker 3: can go to every place, but I want to go
[7:20] Speaker 3: the underground to see how it goes wherever I'm at.
[7:24] Speaker 3: Let's say I'm in Europe, I'm going to Europe in
[7:27] Speaker 3: a couple days. So I like to do my show,
[7:30] Speaker 3: but I like to go to the club after just
[7:33] Speaker 3: to see how the people.
[7:34] Speaker 4: The vibe.
[7:35] Speaker 2: I love that.
[7:36] Speaker 4: You're finishing your tour in Ushuaia.
[7:38] Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy.
[7:39] Speaker 2: Crazy.
[7:40] Speaker 4: Have you been there before?
[7:41] Speaker 3: I've been once over there and the show was crazy.
[7:45] Speaker 4: That's iconic, dude. That's a really important place in Europe
[7:49] Speaker 4: during the summer, man.
[7:50] Speaker 3: I saw a couple of artists that went there. I'm like, damn,
[7:54] Speaker 3: I feel important too over there.
[7:55] Speaker 4: Bro, it's the biggest artist in the world. That's massive.
[7:58] Speaker 3: And DJs and everything. Ibiza is a whole other world.
[8:04] Speaker 4: So will you go out there after your shows?
[8:06] Speaker 3: I can go. I like to feel the vibe of
[8:08] Speaker 3: wherever I'm at.
[8:10] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[8:11] Speaker 2: Is that safe though?
[8:11] Speaker 1: Because I feel like every time I've done that, you know,
[8:13] Speaker 1: tried to like connect with like, you know, the culture
[8:16] Speaker 1: or whatever, like.
[8:16] Speaker 2: In Rio, I just get pickpocketed.
[8:20] Speaker 3: That's part of the culture over there.
[8:23] Speaker 4: It's part of the game.
[8:23] Speaker 3: Part of the game. You know where, you know, you
[8:27] Speaker 3: have to learn the rules and know where you are.
[8:29] Speaker 4: But it's crazy.
[8:30] Speaker 2: Dude, they're good at it. You know, it was a woman.
[8:33] Speaker 2: I got pickpocketed by a woman twice. Once in Cancun
[8:36] Speaker 2: and once in Rio.
[8:37] Speaker 3: Those are the more, you know, it's easier for them.
[8:40] Speaker 2: You know why? You're right. Because when I turn around
[8:43] Speaker 2: and say, you stole my wallet, she screams, ah, stop
[8:47] Speaker 2: touching me. No way, yeah. So now I'm like, seasoned.
[8:51] Speaker 3: Fuck it, he wasn't there.
[8:53] Speaker 2: Take my shit.
[8:54] Speaker 3: They know their shit.
[8:55] Speaker 1: No, that's something about you, I think, that definitely separates
[8:58] Speaker 1: you from most artists and certainly a lot of artists
[9:01] Speaker 1: we've had on this show. It seems like you have
[9:04] Speaker 1: this really deep, appreciation for your culture and your roots,
[9:10] Speaker 1: while also balancing this insane global celebrity.
[9:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's like my flow, my way, my lifestyle
[9:20] Speaker 3: is because of Puerto Rico, right? But I want to
[9:24] Speaker 3: get bigger. I want to go with my music to
[9:27] Speaker 3: other places. Puerto Rico is going to be always with me,
[9:31] Speaker 3: behind my back, but whenever I go, let's say Spain, Colombia.
[9:37] Speaker 3: I'm always thinking about what Puerto Rico teach me. So
[9:45] Speaker 3: I'm here because of them.
[9:46] Speaker 4: What did Puerto Rico teach you? What's the main influence
[9:49] Speaker 4: from the island? How did it impact your flow, your style?
[9:55] Speaker 3: My hustle came from Puerto Rico. My grandma my mother,
[10:01] Speaker 3: they were like workers, have more than one work. They
[10:05] Speaker 3: were hustling. I saw that since I was a little kid.
[10:09] Speaker 3: Everything since in my neighborhood, the hood legends, everything that
[10:14] Speaker 3: I know, it was from Puerto Rico that I saw it.
[10:18] Speaker 3: I'm a product of my environment.
[10:21] Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. No, you nailed it. Who was your, like,
[10:25] Speaker 4: were all of your inspirations musically from the island, or
[10:29] Speaker 4: did you take inspiration from people from the States, too? Or, like,
[10:32] Speaker 4: what were your biggest music inspirations?
[10:33] Speaker 3: Of course, from the island, since I was a little kid.
[10:36] Speaker 3: I was born in La Cuna del Reggaeton. Can you translate?
[10:41] Speaker 4: Yeah, it means the corner of reggaeton.
[10:44] Speaker 3: Yeah, like, I was born in here, so I love,
[10:48] Speaker 3: Reggaeton music. La cuna, cuna, cuna.
[10:52] Speaker 4: The crib? I wasn't that far off.
[10:54] Speaker 2: Well, there's chorus in the crib.
[10:56] Speaker 4: Yeah, the crib. Oh, the birthplace. Oh, the birthplace.
[11:00] Speaker 3: Oh, that makes sense. Of course, the reggaeton artists were
[11:04] Speaker 3: my main inspiration. But when I was 16 years old,
[11:09] Speaker 3: I started to interest with the hip-hop music and started.
[11:16] Speaker 3: Developing this love for music. But my family, they love salsa, merengue,
[11:22] Speaker 3: all that music that is culture for us. So I
[11:25] Speaker 3: feel like I got the love for music in general,
[11:29] Speaker 3: not only music from here.
[11:31] Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Jr.
[11:32] Speaker 1: Dude, how has this island cultivated so many talented musicians?
[11:37] Speaker 3: It's crazy.
[11:38] Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Jr.: It's crazy. It's crazy.
[11:41] Speaker 1: Like, man, the Bad Bunnies of the world, who I
[11:43] Speaker 1: know you've collabed with. There's a lot of up and
[11:46] Speaker 1: coming artists right now.
[11:47] Speaker 2: What's that? What's that?
[11:48] Speaker 3: Young Mico. Right?
[11:50] Speaker 2: So talented.
[11:50] Speaker 3: And that's new generation. But Puerto Rico comes from.
[11:54] Speaker 4: That Yankee, bro.
[11:55] Speaker 3: I'm going to take you from Hector Labo back then,
[11:58] Speaker 3: Ismael Rivera, like salsa music.
[12:00] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[12:01] Speaker 3: When you want to play some salsa music from back
[12:04] Speaker 3: in the days, and they were already like performing in Africa.
[12:08] Speaker 3: So they were... running around the world before the reggaeton
[12:12] Speaker 3: and all that. So I think Salsa was an inspiration,
[12:17] Speaker 3: like big inspiration for reggaeton.
[12:20] Speaker 4: Rob Markman Are you close with Bad Bunny?
[12:23] Speaker 3: You know, with all the artists, I got respect for
[12:27] Speaker 3: all them, but we're not like friends, like my people.
[12:30] Speaker 3: I can tell you like, I call him daily. So
[12:33] Speaker 3: we just like make music and respect each other.
[12:35] Speaker 4: You know?
[12:35] Speaker 1: Rob Markman I appreciate you saying that because I feel
[12:37] Speaker 1: like a lot of people would be like, oh, that's
[12:38] Speaker 1: the homie.
[12:40] Speaker 4: No, no, no.
[12:40] Speaker 3: Because people see what's happening while we work, but this
[12:44] Speaker 3: is our work. It's like, how you say colega? Colleague.
[12:50] Speaker 2: Colleague.
[12:51] Speaker 3: Colleagues and friends are friends, bros and bros. There's a
[12:58] Speaker 3: line between all of them.
[12:59] Speaker 4: Do you got any homies that you work with? Me
[13:02] Speaker 4: and him are best friends.
[13:03] Speaker 3: Of course I got. But my friends, I didn't know them.
[13:07] Speaker 3: because of the music. I got my friends before music.
[13:10] Speaker 3: So let's say if tomorrow I said, I don't want
[13:13] Speaker 3: to make music no more, I'm with my same friends.
[13:16] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[13:17] Speaker 2: But do you work with them in any capacity? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[13:21] Speaker 3: They work with me, of course. I got a couple
[13:23] Speaker 3: of them. It's not that, ah, you're my friend, you're
[13:25] Speaker 3: going to work with me.
[13:25] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay.
[13:26] Speaker 3: You got to have like.
[13:27] Speaker 4: Skills.
[13:28] Speaker 3: Skills and of course like being focused on what we're doing.
[13:31] Speaker 3: When it's work, it's work and we're doing whatever, you know,
[13:35] Speaker 3: it's different.
[13:36] Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
[13:36] Speaker 2: It's a tough balance sometimes, man.
[13:38] Speaker 3: Very tough balance. People think this is like, let's go
[13:42] Speaker 3: hang out. No, no. This is like, you got to be...
[13:45] Speaker 3: There's a work ethic behind this shit.
[13:47] Speaker 2: For sure.
[13:48] Speaker 1: Well, also just being able to separate the business and
[13:52] Speaker 1: the relationship. The lines get so blurred. Have you ever
[13:56] Speaker 1: had to go south?
[13:58] Speaker 3: Like, south like.
[13:59] Speaker 4: Like, bad.
[14:00] Speaker 2: Like, yeah.
[14:01] Speaker 3: You know, there's situations. Every people got them, so... You
[14:06] Speaker 3: learn from them. It's what it is, bro.
[14:10] Speaker 2: Yeah, facts. Yeah, it is what it is, Mike.
[14:17] Speaker 4: We've had so many battles. Honestly, though, after, like you said,
[14:23] Speaker 4: you learn from them. And I feel like now they
[14:25] Speaker 4: just don't, like they started, there was a lot, then
[14:27] Speaker 4: there was a few less, then a few less. Now
[14:29] Speaker 4: it never happens because you learn how to work together
[14:31] Speaker 4: and you learn how to- You.
[14:32] Speaker 3: Know each other. How long you been knowing each other?
[14:34] Speaker 4: We've been working together and friends for like almost.
[14:37] Speaker 3: 10 years now.
[14:38] Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say about a decade.
[14:39] Speaker 3: Yeah. So, you know, it's a process of highs and lows.

[15:42] Speaker 4: Have you seen any of the backlash on Logan and
[15:47] Speaker 4: Jake for being on the island and any.
[15:49] Speaker 3: Of the stuff that's- Yeah, of course. That's why I
[15:52] Speaker 3: asked first for them, like, how do you feel from
[15:55] Speaker 3: Puerto Rico? Because I felt the backlash can come because
[15:59] Speaker 3: it's like you're from outside, but the things that you've
[16:05] Speaker 3: been doing and time by time, time will decide. But
[16:09] Speaker 3: y'all haven't been in Puerto Rico like, we're the kings
[16:13] Speaker 3: of Puerto Rico. You're doing your thing, but you're still
[16:16] Speaker 3: being humble. You help Puerto Rico low key. I know
[16:20] Speaker 3: because I know. But it's normal. You just got to
[16:23] Speaker 3: be like, fuck it. I'm going to be myself and
[16:26] Speaker 3: time will speak. But I can tell you, of course,
[16:31] Speaker 3: it's been a backlash, how you see it. Yeah.
[16:34] Speaker 2: Man, I'm glad you said that. And I appreciate you
[16:37] Speaker 2: saying that because.
[16:38] Speaker 1: Like I said, we love this island, and we trust
[16:42] Speaker 1: that through our actions that we aren't always publicizing stuff
[16:47] Speaker 1: that we're not always showing to the world. Whatever that
[16:50] Speaker 1: may be, and I'm not even going to say it
[16:51] Speaker 1: now because it doesn't matter, but it's stuff that we're
[16:55] Speaker 1: not doing it for the recognition.
[16:56] Speaker 2: We're doing it for appreciation.
[16:57] Speaker 3: Because sometimes people could take it as like, ah, they're
[17:00] Speaker 3: trying to buy in.
[17:01] Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, yeah.
[17:02] Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm going to take it to
[17:05] Speaker 3: another level, bro. If Puerto Rico was back in the
[17:09] Speaker 3: days and y'all coming from outside, people from here, let's
[17:14] Speaker 3: say the street leaders, they will be like, oh, come
[17:19] Speaker 3: hang with the people so you can feel the connection
[17:23] Speaker 3: with them. And let's say, oh, we have some teams,
[17:26] Speaker 3: we got some support from the kids. And time by time,
[17:31] Speaker 3: it's not like from the night to another day, it's like,
[17:34] Speaker 3: Time by time, you're going to have the island with
[17:37] Speaker 3: you backing you up. It's like your brother, people call him.
[17:41] Speaker 2: From El Gallo, El Gallo, El Dorado.
[17:44] Speaker 3: At the beginning, it was like, what they doing? They're
[17:48] Speaker 3: not from here. But then in Puerto Rico, everybody is like,
[17:53] Speaker 3: there's always like Barcelona. We're always having fun with everything.
[17:58] Speaker 3: You saw how they treat him right now.
[18:01] Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, bro.
[18:02] Speaker 2: They love him. They love him.
[18:03] Speaker 1: And I have to say, as is any sort of
[18:06] Speaker 1: online hate, I've never gone out and experienced hate on
[18:10] Speaker 1: the island. Everyone has been so friendly and so nice.
[18:13] Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed with just how nice people are.
[18:15] Speaker 3: I'm sure that you at the beginning was like, damn,
[18:17] Speaker 3: I'm not going to get out. A little bit.
[18:19] Speaker 2: A little bit.
[18:19] Speaker 3: But it's not like that. When people see you, I
[18:24] Speaker 3: feel like I'm from Puerto Rico. It's not like you're
[18:27] Speaker 3: trying to... take something from us. It's like, I'm in
[18:30] Speaker 3: Puerto Rico, I live in Puerto Rico, I like Puerto Rico.
[18:32] Speaker 3: It's not like, ah, I came to PR, now I'm
[18:34] Speaker 3: the king of PR. You're not doing that.
[18:36] Speaker 2: No, fuck no, that's you.
[18:37] Speaker 3: No, no, no, not even me. It's like, I'm the
[18:41] Speaker 3: young king because I felt I am the voice of
[18:44] Speaker 3: a lot of people from my era. And Puerto Rico,
[18:48] Speaker 3: I can go to every place, every hood, every, in
[18:51] Speaker 3: Puerto Rico, and I'm not like, ah, this is mine.
[18:54] Speaker 3: I'm from them. Yep.
[18:55] Speaker 6: Yep.
[18:56] Speaker 2: That makes sense.
[18:56] Speaker 1: Nah, bro, I think the best thing my brother and
[19:00] Speaker 1: I could do is just keep our heads down, keep
[19:02] Speaker 1: doing good where we can, and shine a spotlight on
[19:05] Speaker 1: the beautiful people and the island when and where we can.
[19:08] Speaker 1: And that's it, bro.
[19:10] Speaker 2: We're not here to take over. I just want to enjoy,
[19:12] Speaker 2: like everyone else.
[19:14] Speaker 3: If I can give you an advice, I would love
[19:18] Speaker 3: to see y'all going more to... to where people that
[19:23] Speaker 3: can't even see you, let's say, performing, or people want
[19:28] Speaker 3: to see you in person.
[19:30] Speaker 4: That's actually a sick idea, dude. Like some sort of
[19:35] Speaker 4: event or day.
[19:37] Speaker 2: Oh, actually? We have some stuff lined up.
[19:39] Speaker 4: Oh, sick.
[19:40] Speaker 2: Yeah, we just want to do it right.
[19:42] Speaker 3: I know for sure you got your plan, but it's
[19:46] Speaker 3: like when people connect more with you in person, like
[19:50] Speaker 3: watching you, how you work with kids and everything. Yeah. Shit,
[19:54] Speaker 3: it's going to be different.
[19:55] Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great idea.
[19:57] Speaker 1: Yeah, man, it's definitely something that's on our agenda.
[20:00] Speaker 2: I don't want to say too much.
[20:02] Speaker 1: Or even like, you know, it's tough because like I said,
[20:06] Speaker 1: sometimes when.
[20:07] Speaker 2: We do things that we're genuinely doing.
[20:09] Speaker 1: To just go do because it's a good thing, because
[20:14] Speaker 1: we post things as social media.
[20:16] Speaker 2: Yeah, they question our motives.
[20:18] Speaker 3: Even me, I don't like to be seen as a hero.
[20:23] Speaker 3: Whatever I do is because I want to do it
[20:26] Speaker 3: and I feel like I got that responsibility. But I
[20:30] Speaker 3: really hate when... When I, let's say I help somebody and,
[20:34] Speaker 3: you know, people, sometimes you got to do it because
[20:37] Speaker 3: people copy everything. Yep.
[20:38] Speaker 6: Yep.
[20:38] Speaker 3: So in a good way, they should copy that.
[20:41] Speaker 4: Yep.
[20:42] Speaker 3: But some, let's say the other part is like, ah,
[20:44] Speaker 3: they're trying to take advantage of poor people or blah, blah, blah.
[20:48] Speaker 3: So you got to be careful with all that.
[20:51] Speaker 2: Yep.
[20:51] Speaker 4: Yep.
[20:51] Speaker 2: For sure. Thank you for the advice there, dude. Um,
[20:54] Speaker 2: I want to talk about your music.
[20:55] Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure.
[20:56] Speaker 2: I want to talk about your music.
[20:57] Speaker 1: Cause that's, that's, I mean, um, skyrocket you into a
[21:01] Speaker 1: global phenomenon.
[21:03] Speaker 4: 17 billboard number ones, six Latin Grammy nominations, uh, songwriter
[21:10] Speaker 4: of the year in 2022. I mean, dude, crazy. It
[21:14] Speaker 4: goes on super, super viral songs. How did, how did,
[21:18] Speaker 4: how did tick tock help you? In the strangest way.
[21:21] Speaker 4: Do you feel weird saying that? Does it feel like
[21:25] Speaker 4: a weird cheat code?
[21:27] Speaker 3: It's like something new. Today is TikTok. Let's see what
[21:30] Speaker 3: is tomorrow. Let's say when MySpace got out, people in
[21:36] Speaker 3: their profile put music. Now TikTok is different. Videos, people dancing.
[21:41] Speaker 3: At the beginning, I'm not going to lie, bro. I
[21:43] Speaker 3: was like, damn, we got to dance. Because you don't
[21:47] Speaker 3: understand at the beginning. But then My music, I don't
[21:51] Speaker 3: know why, it's like my people was even bumping like
[21:54] Speaker 3: old songs. And it's like a little clip that goes
[21:57] Speaker 3: viral in TikTok, then forget it, the song is gonna
[22:02] Speaker 3: have a lot of streams.
[22:02] Speaker 4: It translates to Spotify and Apple Music.
[22:05] Speaker 3: But crazy, in a crazy way. So at the beginning,
[22:08] Speaker 3: I was a little bit like, but then, I don't know, bro.
[22:12] Speaker 3: It's like something I don't even can explain it. So
[22:16] Speaker 3: TikTok is a good tool for us.
[22:18] Speaker 2: For sure.
[22:19] Speaker 3: Do you.
[22:20] Speaker 1: Do you ever make music with TikTok virality in mind?
[22:26] Speaker 3: Nah, because I don't know. What happened is that my
[22:29] Speaker 3: music started to go viral, but I wasn't even making music. Like,
[22:35] Speaker 3: let's say, strange sound. But then, of course, when you're
[22:39] Speaker 3: making a song, you can tell, like, yo, this part
[22:42] Speaker 3: in TikTok, they're going to be crazy. So you play
[22:46] Speaker 3: with it, but I don't make music. Neither for TikTok
[22:49] Speaker 3: or neither for awards. I'm in music because I feel
[22:54] Speaker 3: in my heart like, I like this.
[22:57] Speaker 1: Would you say, I was going to ask you this question,
[22:59] Speaker 1: but that might be the answer because he's saying all
[23:03] Speaker 1: these stats and man, you don't just have one song
[23:07] Speaker 1: that's been streamed a billion times. You have multiple. That's
[23:13] Speaker 1: not easy. In fact, That's really hard. Like a lot
[23:17] Speaker 1: of artists will never accomplish that in their lifetime. What
[23:20] Speaker 1: do you think it is about you that is the
[23:22] Speaker 1: secret sauce to such successful music?
[23:26] Speaker 3: I think I developed like this instinct of making music
[23:31] Speaker 3: back in the days when I was like 19 years old.
[23:34] Speaker 3: I was making like five songs in a day, three.
[23:38] Speaker 3: Like making a lot of music made me like knew
[23:43] Speaker 3: what function and what it was like This is whack. Like,
[23:47] Speaker 3: fuck it, I'm not doing this again. It's like the
[23:49] Speaker 3: experience of making music. At the beginning, it was like
[23:52] Speaker 3: more like a rapper, right? It was like, I'm trying
[23:55] Speaker 3: to rap and this and that. I'm just a rapper,
[23:57] Speaker 3: but I realized it. I realized I was born in
[24:02] Speaker 3: Puerto Rico where the reggaeton was born too. So when
[24:05] Speaker 3: I started making reggaeton too, it was like, ah, this
[24:08] Speaker 3: is easier for me. And people talk shit like, ah,
[24:10] Speaker 3: he make reggaeton and he was like, blah, blah, blah.
[24:13] Speaker 3: But I, there's, The money's over there. Whoever tell me
[24:17] Speaker 3: that doesn't make whatever they make for the money is lying.
[24:21] Speaker 3: You got your passion and all that, but the hunger
[24:23] Speaker 3: and blah, blah, blah, but the money is the motivation.
[24:26] Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Jr.: You think you like rapping more?
[24:29] Speaker 3: I like, I always, when I make music, of course
[24:32] Speaker 3: I do mainstream music and music for the girls and blah, blah, blah,
[24:35] Speaker 3: but I feel like I got to serve for my fans.
[24:39] Speaker 3: They want fans. And I always come with a project
[24:42] Speaker 3: for them.
[24:43] Speaker 4: How much do you have to change your sound for
[24:47] Speaker 4: commercialization and money versus what you wish it could sound
[24:50] Speaker 4: like if you were doing it just for yourself? I
[24:53] Speaker 4: think back to Jadakiss, right? Jadakiss put out shit that
[24:57] Speaker 4: was just for the streets. Everybody loved him. For real.
[25:01] Speaker 4: But he never made.
[25:02] Speaker 3: A ton of.
[25:04] Speaker 4: Never had big commercial hits. But everybody on the streets
[25:06] Speaker 4: fucked with him. And then you had somebody like J...
[25:09] Speaker 4: who just, you know, after a while he started to
[25:11] Speaker 4: make stuff that was just so, always like so commercially viable, right?
[25:15] Speaker 4: Like how close do you feel like you are right
[25:18] Speaker 4: now to the exact sound you wish you could add
[25:20] Speaker 4: if you just had a trillion dollars and you didn't
[25:22] Speaker 4: have to ever think about it?
[25:24] Speaker 3: You know, when Drake came out and mixed like singing
[25:30] Speaker 3: and rapping, it was like a new era. And then
[25:34] Speaker 3: when I started making music, it was like 2013. 2012,
[25:39] Speaker 3: I started recording, but when I released it, it was 2013.
[25:44] Speaker 3: So back then, I was doing music for commercial music,
[25:48] Speaker 3: but I didn't feel it will... Let's say you're playing cards,
[25:53] Speaker 3: and you got this big card, and you say, nah,
[25:55] Speaker 3: it's not the moment for throwing it out. So it
[25:58] Speaker 3: was like, let's keep serving what people know I can do.
[26:02] Speaker 3: And then my career demanded, you got to do something new.
[26:07] Speaker 3: So people, it wasn't that radical. It was like, I
[26:13] Speaker 3: still got my essence. They can tell, ah, that's Mike.
[26:18] Speaker 3: But I showed him that I can do more than
[26:21] Speaker 3: I was doing.
[26:22] Speaker 1: Rob Markman So it sounds like, let me interpret this
[26:27] Speaker 1: and you tell me if it's correctly. I heard you
[26:32] Speaker 1: basically put in the reps. Repetition, a lot of it,
[26:35] Speaker 1: until you found your lane, and then you went for it.
[26:38] Speaker 1: And it sounds like because you had put in all
[26:40] Speaker 1: those reps, when you did find that kind of perfect
[26:42] Speaker 1: pocket for you, it was just like such a fantastic-
[26:46] Speaker 1: It was.
[26:46] Speaker 2: Like my- Yeah, yeah.
[26:49] Speaker 1: But you're also a sick lyricist, which I feel like, again, bro,
[26:55] Speaker 1: we've had it.
[26:56] Speaker 2: I want to toot our horn we've had a we've
[26:58] Speaker 2: had a lot of artists.
[26:58] Speaker 1: On this show and um you know some are good
[27:01] Speaker 1: at some things others are good but like it's rare
[27:05] Speaker 1: that you have uh kind of that like that full
[27:08] Speaker 1: package right and then hence a superstar is born do
[27:13] Speaker 1: you think um do you think an artist's ability to
[27:17] Speaker 1: be lyrically gifted as well is a bit of a
[27:20] Speaker 1: superpower Of.
[27:22] Speaker 3: Course, bro, definitely. That's the thing that's going to separate
[27:25] Speaker 3: you from the rest. Of course, everybody is making music
[27:29] Speaker 3: and all that, but when you dedicate yourself to the lyrics,
[27:35] Speaker 3: that stays forever. You can go down from the level
[27:39] Speaker 3: that you create. It's a concrete fan base that's going
[27:44] Speaker 3: to be with you because of your real talent. You
[27:47] Speaker 3: can be viral, you can be blah, blah, blah, anything,
[27:50] Speaker 3: but when the music's speaks for itself and you make
[27:53] Speaker 3: classics and consistency, that's the key, bro.
[27:57] Speaker 2: Rob Markman, For sure.
[27:59] Speaker 1: And I'm sure people relate to your lyrics and can
[28:01] Speaker 1: feel that heart you were talking about earlier.
[28:04] Speaker 3: Yeah, my career has never been like, I can tell
[28:07] Speaker 3: you I'm a phenomenon or let's say I'm a one-hit wonder.
[28:14] Speaker 6: Nah.
[28:14] Speaker 3: It was song by song, helping the other one and
[28:20] Speaker 3: people connecting. I can drop a project, right? And let's
[28:25] Speaker 3: say the crowd will pick different songs. So that's when
[28:30] Speaker 3: you know that the whole project got fired.
[28:33] Speaker 4: Can I ask you- Consistency.
[28:35] Speaker 2: Yeah. Consistency.
[28:36] Speaker 1: I mean, just based on what I know about you
[28:38] Speaker 1: and what you're saying, yeah, your work ethic is crazy.
[28:40] Speaker 1: And that consistency he's talking about has always, for me,
[28:44] Speaker 1: been the number one thing. Partner with someone, work with
[28:50] Speaker 1: someone who's always consistently good than someone who's sometimes great.
[28:53] Speaker 3: You know?
[28:54] Speaker 4: I mean, you see so many people come up and
[28:56] Speaker 4: have these like viral sensations. Bro, we've watched 50 waves
[29:02] Speaker 4: of people. You know when it's a wave? And you
[29:05] Speaker 4: watch it and they go over and they do, and
[29:07] Speaker 4: they come on crazy and they get a billion views,
[29:09] Speaker 4: billion views on every video they put out. They're getting
[29:11] Speaker 4: crazy TikTok numbers. And you watch them.
[29:13] Speaker 3: It's like the trendy, trendy shit.
[29:14] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But to pop like that might be hard,
[29:18] Speaker 4: but to stay consistent even at half that amount of
[29:21] Speaker 4: numbers or a quarter even for five years, six years,
[29:24] Speaker 4: like Drake said, we'll see who's still around a decade
[29:26] Speaker 4: from now. Like, bro.
[29:27] Speaker 3: I felt that shit. It's like when you're trying to
[29:31] Speaker 3: like create something, for a long term, so that bar
[29:34] Speaker 3: was like, damn, that makes me get motivated. Rob Markman, Jr.
[29:37] Speaker 4: Is he the GOAT?
[29:39] Speaker 3: For me, I got this triangle, and I put Biggie, Jay,
[29:45] Speaker 3: and Drake. Rob Markman, Jr.
[29:46] Speaker 4: Oh, damn. Wow.
[29:47] Speaker 3: Some real.
[29:47] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[29:48] Speaker 3: But with all due respect to Jay and rest in
[29:53] Speaker 3: peace Biggie, I put Drake bigger because He got music
[29:58] Speaker 3: for the woman too. Let's say 15 years from now,
[30:01] Speaker 3: you're going to play, let's go home, we're going home.
[30:04] Speaker 4: Let's go home. Rob Markman, Jay had like a couple.
[30:06] Speaker 4: Biggie had none. Biggie had none. Nobody was listening to
[30:10] Speaker 4: Machine Gun Funk. No girls like.
[30:11] Speaker 3: It's always different. When you compare you, you say, nah,
[30:16] Speaker 3: you crazy.
[30:17] Speaker 2: You should hit a Drake collab.
[30:19] Speaker 3: Hopefully. You know what? I don't... Since a couple years...
[30:25] Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not going to force anything when
[30:28] Speaker 3: it's time for, let's say when I know him or whatever,
[30:32] Speaker 3: that's going to be, if he's meant to be, it's
[30:34] Speaker 3: going to happen.
[30:36] Speaker 4: Is that like the collab you would want more than
[30:38] Speaker 4: anything else?
[30:40] Speaker 3: Some people, you don't even, you know, if it happens, great.
[30:45] Speaker 3: But some people, it's like when you got inspired from them,
[30:49] Speaker 3: you just want to know them or whatever. or get
[30:52] Speaker 3: advice from them. So I got a lot of respect
[30:55] Speaker 3: for Drake.
[30:55] Speaker 4: Who else are you looking at right now that, as
[30:59] Speaker 4: opposed to it being a dream thing, that you just
[31:01] Speaker 4: think would be a good collab for you right now?
[31:04] Speaker 3: Musically? Who are you watching? There's a lot of people
[31:09] Speaker 3: I respect, but in Latin world, I like to collab
[31:14] Speaker 3: or Marc Anthony or Romeo Santos. I got a lot
[31:17] Speaker 3: of respect for them. But it's what I'm saying, like,
[31:21] Speaker 3: I don't want to force anything when they know me and,
[31:24] Speaker 3: you know, we can vibe and whatever happens.
[31:25] Speaker 4: And you get the phone call.
[31:26] Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
[31:27] Speaker 4: Do you feel that way about everything in life and
[31:31] Speaker 4: all different aspects of life where you feel like you
[31:34] Speaker 4: don't ever want to force shit? Do you always want
[31:36] Speaker 4: stuff to come to you?
[31:37] Speaker 3: I just put my belt and with God, you know,
[31:40] Speaker 3: God is going to make the path for me.
[31:44] Speaker 4: God in the universe. If it's meant for you, it'll
[31:46] Speaker 4: be meant for you. Yeah, bro.
[31:47] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[31:49] Speaker 2: I think it's a good way to go about life.
[31:50] Speaker 4: I think you have to. I think it's the only
[31:52] Speaker 4: way to.
[31:52] Speaker 2: Are you religious?
[31:53] Speaker 3: You know, I believe in God. I got my relationship
[31:56] Speaker 3: with God directly. I don't talk. I don't confess to nobody.
[32:00] Speaker 3: I just pray to God and keep going.
[32:02] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[32:03] Speaker 2: That's how I am as well. Yeah.
[32:06] Speaker 1: Hey, I wanted to ask about your workflow, you know,
[32:09] Speaker 1: like from coming up with an idea for a song
[32:14] Speaker 1: or even like.
[32:15] Speaker 2: The writing process. I'm curious about what does your workflow
[32:17] Speaker 2: look like?
[32:18] Speaker 3: It change. It depends. Let's say we're talking here, right?
[32:23] Speaker 3: And you said something that got me like, damn. And
[32:28] Speaker 3: I just going to tell you like, wait for me.
[32:31] Speaker 3: I write down something and I got this idea until
[32:33] Speaker 3: I go to the studio.
[32:35] Speaker 2: Like notes in your phone?
[32:36] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. It depends. I like to write in notebook
[32:39] Speaker 3: like back in the day. But that's when I'm in
[32:42] Speaker 3: the studio like chilling, like drinking something, smoking something. I can't.
[32:46] Speaker 3: I can, you know, how do you say, make emphasis
[32:50] Speaker 3: for the letter. But when I'm like, let's say there's
[32:55] Speaker 3: a lot of people in the studio, I'm not going
[32:57] Speaker 3: to take out my neighbor. So I get in my phone.
[33:01] Speaker 3: But I always, it depends. Let's say the song is
[33:04] Speaker 3: like a chill song, I go by myself and the producer.
[33:07] Speaker 3: Or if the song is like something hype up. The homies. Yeah.
[33:11] Speaker 3: I need to feel the real vibe. And that's why
[33:14] Speaker 3: I go out. Because you listen... Let's say a couple
[33:18] Speaker 3: of artists, respect for everybody, but they make songs like, oh,
[33:20] Speaker 3: I'm out in the club. They're not even out. They're
[33:25] Speaker 3: at home and you don't even feel what they're saying
[33:28] Speaker 3: about at the club, blah, blah, woman dancing. They don't
[33:31] Speaker 3: even dance.
[33:33] Speaker 4: It doesn't connect.
[33:34] Speaker 3: Yeah, you got to live and then... go to the booth.
[33:39] Speaker 4: So where do you go? What's the club called that you.
[33:41] Speaker 2: Guys bring me to?
[33:42] Speaker 4: 58.
[33:42] Speaker 3: Yeah, 58.
[33:43] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[33:44] Speaker 3: The hottest club in PR. I know you probably been there.
[33:48] Speaker 4: We went for the Martinez brothers one time.
[33:51] Speaker 5: 58.
[33:51] Speaker 3: All the Puerto Rican girls. Yo, I know you. I'm
[33:54] Speaker 3: hyped up.
[33:55] Speaker 4: Yeah. And you are too?
[33:57] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but.
[33:58] Speaker 2: I think he met a Puerto Rican girl there. Was
[34:00] Speaker 2: it F58?
[34:00] Speaker 4: It was, right?
[34:02] Speaker 3: Coronado. But at least you got to have, like, Puerto
[34:07] Speaker 3: Rican women as friends, nothing bad, because you will like
[34:13] Speaker 3: how the women of Puerto Rico are. They go crazy,
[34:15] Speaker 3: but they're in love.
[34:16] Speaker 4: Rob Markman, I'm on a break from Latinas right now, man.
[34:19] Speaker 4: They're just hard for me, bro.
[34:23] Speaker 3: They're just I don't know.
[34:24] Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because they're all different, right? Like every area
[34:28] Speaker 4: is different.
[34:29] Speaker 3: Yeah, Cuba. Cuba.
[34:34] Speaker 2: No, don't say that, man.
[34:35] Speaker 4: Nah, nah. It's... Danger. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, bro.
[34:40] Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. It's difficult. It's like a whole
[34:42] Speaker 4: different playbook. You know what I'm saying?
[34:44] Speaker 3: Shout out to all the Latinas. I love them all.
[34:47] Speaker 4: Can you say which country has the best looking Latinas?
[34:52] Speaker 3: Damn. Colombia and Venezuela is like fighting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[34:56] Speaker 4: All of them.
[34:57] Speaker 3: Brazilian too, so.
[34:59] Speaker 4: But Puerto Rico's got always.
[35:00] Speaker 3: Yeah, Puerto Rico is like... Puerto Rico, I got him.
[35:03] Speaker 3: In the ranking, number one ranking.
[35:04] Speaker 2: Rob Markman You use a notes app on your phone
[35:07] Speaker 2: a lot?
[35:08] Speaker 3: Yeah, bro. I'm a person that, let's say, I use
[35:12] Speaker 3: the notes and I use the voice recorder. Because you
[35:15] Speaker 3: can write it down, but when you forget about the flow.
[35:19] Speaker 2: Rob Markman I was going to say, is that for melodies?
[35:21] Speaker 3: Yeah, for melodies, I got to take out my phone
[35:24] Speaker 3: and you see me like it was a microphone. Because
[35:27] Speaker 3: if not.
[35:28] Speaker 2: I forget about it. You forget, for sure. I realize
[35:29] Speaker 2: the same thing. If I ever have a creative idea.
[35:32] Speaker 3: You know how many songs I've been like... I wake
[35:34] Speaker 3: up and like singing something and I write it down
[35:37] Speaker 3: and then I... Damn. Yeah.
[35:39] Speaker 2: Because you will forget.
[35:40] Speaker 4: Yeah.
[35:41] Speaker 2: You 100% will forget. I make it a rule to
[35:43] Speaker 2: write shit down.
[35:44] Speaker 3: And then you read it and read it and read
[35:45] Speaker 3: it and be like, fuck it.
[35:46] Speaker 2: Fuck this shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[35:47] Speaker 1: Okay, so do you do a melody before you hit
[35:50] Speaker 1: the beat or will you craft a beat around the melody?
[35:54] Speaker 3: If I got a... I prefer to listen... to a
[35:58] Speaker 3: beat or a melody or something that I have this atmosphere.
[36:06] Speaker 3: I feel something and then I go from there. I
[36:08] Speaker 3: got to have a line or a word, an idea
[36:13] Speaker 3: that I want to speak about. Rob Markman I see.
[36:15] Speaker 4: I see.
[36:16] Speaker 2: So who's the producer here? Is the producer here?
[36:18] Speaker 3: They're in the studio. They're making the beats right now.
[36:21] Speaker 2: I bet, bet, bet. So you're about to go on
[36:23] Speaker 2: a crazy tour and drop the album?
[36:26] Speaker 3: Yeah, the album is dropping in a couple months.
[36:31] Speaker 4: Spain, France, Switzerland, UK, Madrid, Barcelona, and Ibiza. Wait, have
[36:38] Speaker 4: you been to all these places?
[36:40] Speaker 3: A couple of them.
[36:42] Speaker 4: Which one's new? You've never been to Switzerland before?
[36:45] Speaker 3: Switzerland. I've been there, but... Performing in clubs. So now
[36:51] Speaker 3: it's in a bigger scale. Bigger scale.
[36:53] Speaker 4: I would assume it's in Zurich. Yeah. Right? And you
[36:57] Speaker 4: haven't been to the UK yet either?
[36:58] Speaker 3: Nah, bro. A couple of places make me feel like
[37:03] Speaker 3: day one. When you get a little nervous, anxious, like,
[37:09] Speaker 3: do they know my music? The first time I went
[37:11] Speaker 3: to Spain, bro, it was like, the fuck? I don't
[37:14] Speaker 3: even know. But when you get there, it's like, damn.
[37:18] Speaker 3: That's when you realize, that's why you got to go out,
[37:20] Speaker 3: is what I'm saying. People can tell you whatever in socials,
[37:25] Speaker 3: but when you go out, it's like, damn, but where
[37:28] Speaker 3: are the haters? The haters are going out. You know
[37:31] Speaker 3: what I'm saying?
[37:31] Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
[37:32] Speaker 3: But when you go out, when they love you, in
[37:35] Speaker 3: places that they love you, it's like when you feel like, damn,
[37:37] Speaker 3: I've been putting work.
[37:39] Speaker 1: Does any part of you like that feeling of, man,
[37:43] Speaker 1: these people might not know me, so I got to
[37:46] Speaker 1: show out right now?
[37:48] Speaker 3: That's when I get like, damn, I got to conquer them.
[37:52] Speaker 3: It's like new people. Of course, when you go to
[37:56] Speaker 3: a place that you already have performed and you know
[37:59] Speaker 3: what's going to happen, you go with more confidence. But
[38:02] Speaker 3: when it's a new place, you say like, I can
[38:05] Speaker 3: go wrong.
[38:06] Speaker 1: But even with the amount of streams that you have,
[38:09] Speaker 1: like people know your music. Even if they're not maybe
[38:12] Speaker 1: super familiar with you, they know the music.
[38:15] Speaker 3: But it's different, bro, when it's... you are performing and
[38:19] Speaker 3: you see the fans and you see, let's say you
[38:21] Speaker 3: go to the mall, not even performing, and you see
[38:24] Speaker 3: like the workers, the people over there, you said like, damn,
[38:27] Speaker 3: the show gonna be crazy.
[38:29] Speaker 2: I see.
[38:30] Speaker 3: I see. Okay.
[38:30] Speaker 2: All right. You can tell when you leave.
[38:32] Speaker 6: Okay.
[38:32] Speaker 3: You go to a restaurant and everybody in the kitchen
[38:36] Speaker 3: goes out. Yeah. You said like, damn. Okay. And that
[38:41] Speaker 3: gives me like the energy to go out and.
[38:45] Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, crush it.
[38:49] Speaker 4: Some places just go crazier than other places.
[38:52] Speaker 3: That's true.
[38:53] Speaker 4: Even for us in the States, you go somewhere like L.A., right?
[38:59] Speaker 4: We've done events in L.A. L.A. is just so used
[39:03] Speaker 4: to the idea of celebrity and there's all celebrities.
[39:06] Speaker 3: So you show up and they're.
[39:07] Speaker 4: Just like, you know, whatever. But you go to... man
[39:10] Speaker 4: you go to.
[39:10] Speaker 2: Like tuscaloosa alabama even.
[39:13] Speaker 4: Like you go to like dude if i go to
[39:15] Speaker 4: boston boston's crazy like because it's like the right demo
[39:19] Speaker 4: and they don't see the people speaking of boston it's
[39:22] Speaker 4: a good parlay heard your heard your nba a basketball fan.
[39:26] Speaker 3: Yeah you watch a lot of nba i watch a
[39:29] Speaker 3: lot of nba i I'm mad that the injury of Tatum,
[39:33] Speaker 3: but they win last night without him.
[39:35] Speaker 4: That's a crazy series right there, bro.
[39:38] Speaker 3: Game seven, definitely.
[39:39] Speaker 4: Bro, if the Knicks win, pandemonium.
[39:44] Speaker 3: Who you got in the finals? Man, I don't know, bro.
[39:46] Speaker 4: There's just so many. The Knicks are playing good basketball.
[39:50] Speaker 3: I don't know why I want Ant to get to
[39:54] Speaker 3: the final.
[39:54] Speaker 4: I mean, dude, he's incredible. SGA is incredible.
[39:58] Speaker 3: SGA too.
[39:59] Speaker 4: Dude, there's so many super talents right now. But it's
[40:04] Speaker 4: weird because actually Boston was playing better without Tatum. They
[40:08] Speaker 4: were up by like 20 points last night without Tatum.
[40:11] Speaker 4: And there's some people saying that they're better sized up
[40:13] Speaker 4: for the Knicks without him. I don't know, anything could happen.
[40:17] Speaker 4: You want those?
[40:18] Speaker 3: I want Ant. Whoever got it is good because he's new,
[40:22] Speaker 3: but I feel like Ant got this history back and
[40:26] Speaker 3: he's like the bully, like the face of the youth.
[40:30] Speaker 3: You can tell my kid, oh, who's your favorite one?
[40:33] Speaker 3: Let's say six months before it was Curry, but now

[41:04] Speaker 4: He knows.
[41:04] Speaker 1: I mean, I was just wondering because like, you know,
[41:07] Speaker 1: I think I'm already kind of questioning if I'm going
[41:10] Speaker 1: to have to monitor my kids' viewing habits or screen time.
[41:13] Speaker 2: You know?

[41:51] Speaker 2: That's awesome.
[41:51] Speaker 3: And the songs, and I don't even play that much
[41:57] Speaker 3: music in front of him. Of course he knows what
[42:00] Speaker 3: I do. Of course, when you ask him, well, what
[42:03] Speaker 3: do you want to be? You know what I'm going
[42:04] Speaker 3: to tell, but I want him to decide what he wants.
[42:09] Speaker 3: I don't want him like, ah, come, come to do
[42:12] Speaker 3: what I do.
[42:12] Speaker 2: That's a good parent, man.
[42:14] Speaker 1: Is you and his mother still together?
[42:17] Speaker 2: Oh, man, that's awesome.
[42:19] Speaker 1: That makes me happy, man. I feel like that's... It's
[42:24] Speaker 1: getting rare now. I feel like it's getting rare.
[42:26] Speaker 2: Yeah, man. Relationships, we were talking about this today. Man,
[42:30] Speaker 2: relationships just aren't lasting.
[42:33] Speaker 3: I grew up without... My father's alive and everything. I
[42:37] Speaker 3: love him and all that, but he wasn't in my house.
[42:39] Speaker 3: I know that, so... I feel like, nah, I don't
[42:43] Speaker 3: want him to go. Yeah.
[42:45] Speaker 2: My dad was in the house for me. And I
[42:48] Speaker 2: think that actually was the problem. I'm just kidding.
[42:51] Speaker 4: I'm just kidding. Dad, I love you.
[42:54] Speaker 2: I love you. Nah, my dad shaped me in a
[42:57] Speaker 2: major way. But my parents were divorced. And I think
[43:01] Speaker 2: now I'm like, man, I just don't want that in
[43:04] Speaker 2: my kids.
[43:04] Speaker 3: It's crazy.
[43:05] Speaker 4: I don't want that at all. But it's hard, though,
[43:07] Speaker 4: to break the cycle. It's hard. Dude, you got to
[43:09] Speaker 4: get creative because it's like, mean we were talking about
[43:12] Speaker 4: like when you don't have examples in your own life
[43:17] Speaker 4: of good love and parenting in your home yeah you
[43:21] Speaker 4: got like you you can try to recreate it but
[43:24] Speaker 4: like you just do what your what your program to
[43:26] Speaker 4: do a lot of times and so you got to
[43:28] Speaker 4: really work work work to break that cycle because i
[43:31] Speaker 4: mean i i had the abusive you know like divorced
[43:34] Speaker 4: parents and all that shit too and it's.
[43:36] Speaker 3: Like Back in the days, shit changed a lot. Back
[43:39] Speaker 3: in the days, it was too different. Now it's like
[43:43] Speaker 3: these kids, they have all for them. But it's part
[43:48] Speaker 3: of it. We work for that. I just don't want
[43:52] Speaker 3: him to grow up like, I deserve it all, blah, blah, blah.
[43:58] Speaker 3: That's the only thing that I got to keep.
[43:59] Speaker 2: That's good, man.
[44:00] Speaker 3: That's good. Yeah.
[44:01] Speaker 2: Your awareness there, I think, is a good start.
[44:04] Speaker 3: Because remember, I was like, I want this kid. I
[44:07] Speaker 3: want to give.
[44:07] Speaker 2: Yeah, of course.
[44:08] Speaker 3: So I think that's a big error, bro. Yeah.
[44:13] Speaker 2: No, for sure.
[44:14] Speaker 1: And raising a kid who is growing up with the lifestyle,
[44:18] Speaker 1: you got to keep him humble.
[44:20] Speaker 3: He's with me right now in this, because he's a
[44:22] Speaker 3: big fan of you, but I don't take him... out
[44:25] Speaker 3: of his world. I go to his world.
[44:28] Speaker 4: He don't go to 58. Nah, he's too little.
[44:32] Speaker 2: Hey, tell me the story about the Black Panther in
[44:34] Speaker 2: your neighborhood when you were young.
[44:35] Speaker 3: The Black Panther, bro, it was crazy. It was like
[44:37] Speaker 3: a myth. Everybody knows that that guy had a couple
[44:42] Speaker 3: of them, but when things.
[44:45] Speaker 2: So some guy in your neighborhood actually had.
[44:47] Speaker 3: Yeah, in Caimito, Puerto Rico, there's... One of the gym
[44:51] Speaker 3: that I'm doing over there, it was like, for me,
[44:57] Speaker 3: it's the most iconic gym in Puyarcos. That's where I
[45:02] Speaker 3: always grew up, near that gym. So it was like
[45:05] Speaker 3: a dream for me. But in that area, when things
[45:10] Speaker 3: got crazy, the Panther, with cape and everything.
[45:13] Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Talk about an actual Black Panther.

[45:23] Speaker 3: And people like, people that knew, they can tell you
[45:28] Speaker 3: that it was crazy.
[45:29] Speaker 4: We had something like that in my neighborhood too. It
[45:30] Speaker 4: wasn't a legend, it was real.

[45:34] Speaker 6: Yeah.
[45:35] Speaker 2: Yeah, what did you have in your neighborhood?
[45:37] Speaker 4: We had, it's like one of the only ones on earth.
[45:39] Speaker 4: We had an albino squirrel.
[45:41] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[45:43] Speaker 4: Bro, this thing was white as snow, bro. It was
[45:44] Speaker 4: the craziest thing ever, dude.
[45:46] Speaker 2: That's crazy.
[45:46] Speaker 4: The albino squirrel.
[45:47] Speaker 3: And Caimito is like, There were, back in the days,
[45:50] Speaker 3: that was a thing, to have animals that people can have,
[45:55] Speaker 3: like pets.
[45:55] Speaker 2: Rob Markman Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but normally that's like in
[45:57] Speaker 2: the Middle East.
[45:59] Speaker 3: Like tigers and- DJ Premieres Back in the days, there
[46:01] Speaker 3: were kingpins in PR that had it like that, bro.
[46:04] Speaker 4: Crazy.
[46:05] Speaker 3: Rob Markman That's insane. DJ Premieres Legends, the OG.
[46:06] Speaker 2: Rob Markman Yeah, yeah.
[46:07] Speaker 1: There's a few animals on this island that are like
[46:10] Speaker 1: the origins can't be explained super easily. Like I know
[46:13] Speaker 1: there's like monkeys on some part of the island, right?
[46:16] Speaker 4: Well, we've seen a spider today that didn't look like
[46:18] Speaker 4: it could be explained either.
[46:20] Speaker 2: That was a big spider.
[46:21] Speaker 4: Big ass spider.
[46:22] Speaker 2: Australian spider.
[46:23] Speaker 4: Bro, yeah. I think it might have been brought in
[46:25] Speaker 4: by someone.
[46:27] Speaker 2: Did you say there's deer in Culebrita? There are deer
[46:28] Speaker 2: in Culebrita for sure. Because they like swam across the ocean? Dude,
[46:32] Speaker 2: that's crazy. They went on a pilgrimage.
[46:35] Speaker 4: Could have took a boat, a raft.
[46:37] Speaker 2: Like, who's smuggling these animals? The Black Panther guy. Yeah,
[46:41] Speaker 2: he's got a.
[46:41] Speaker 4: Farm of different animals.
[46:43] Speaker 3: And there's, you know, people that collect, let's say, snakes
[46:47] Speaker 3: and all that. Puerto Rico is crazy right now with
[46:50] Speaker 3: alligators and everything all around. You got to be careful.
[46:53] Speaker 3: You got to be aware of everything.
[46:55] Speaker 2: The snakes, dude. There's a big snake here.
[46:56] Speaker 3: Yeah.
[46:57] Speaker 2: I think it's a reticulated python, if I'm not mistaken.
[47:00] Speaker 4: That one. Yeah.
[47:02] Speaker 2: Coyote Peterson got me on my snake game.
[47:05] Speaker 3: I don't play with that shit, bro. You can keep it.
[47:07] Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[47:08] Speaker 4: Facts.
[47:09] Speaker 2: How often are you going out and about in Puerto Rico?
[47:13] Speaker 3: It depends, bro. I don't let... I don't like to go, like,
[47:18] Speaker 3: let's go out for a going out. When it's a
[47:22] Speaker 3: good occasion, let's go out and let's break out. Let's
[47:26] Speaker 3: pop out, like they say, but I'm not always... I
[47:29] Speaker 3: like to create my... You know.
[47:34] Speaker 3: My club, outside. Let's say we take home and we
[47:37] Speaker 3: do a party, but with my people. I don't like
[47:39] Speaker 3: to go out like that. But when it's time to go,
[47:43] Speaker 3: I can go everywhere.
[47:44] Speaker 1: Rob Markman And you celebrate? What will get you to
[47:48] Speaker 1: celebrate these days?
[47:49] Speaker 3: What is a win? Let's say when I finish, when
[47:53] Speaker 3: I feel like I accomplished something or I make something
[47:58] Speaker 3: that I wanted, I just don't celebrate it that loud.
[48:03] Speaker 3: that makes other people, you know, in Puerto Rico it's
[48:06] Speaker 3: different how you play it.
[48:08] Speaker 2: Can you explain that a little bit?
[48:10] Speaker 3: I'm not like, in Puerto Rico you can't be like
[48:14] Speaker 3: that loud. You know, there's a lot of envy in PR,
[48:17] Speaker 3: so you gotta know how to move.
[48:21] Speaker 1: That's so interesting, man, because like, I think I've realized
[48:26] Speaker 1: this recently, is like, when you're on the come up,
[48:30] Speaker 1: you know, and you're grinding hard, people are rooting for you.
[48:36] Speaker 2: They want you to succeed.
[48:38] Speaker 1: And then when you succeed, I feel it comes to
[48:42] Speaker 1: a point where it's actually diminishing returns, where it's actually like,
[48:44] Speaker 1: wait a second.
[48:45] Speaker 3: It's like, ah, he just made it. Who's the next one?
[48:49] Speaker 3: In Puerto Rico, it's like that. And it's a process
[48:51] Speaker 3: that you got to enjoy it. Then you just got
[48:55] Speaker 3: to be able to, how you say it? You already
[48:59] Speaker 3: make it, but you got to be... How you say?
[49:03] Speaker 4: Oh, stay relevant.
[49:05] Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not like, I just want to
[49:08] Speaker 3: be there. No, no, no. I just want to keep
[49:11] Speaker 3: staying in the game and do my thing, you know?
[49:13] Speaker 4: Well, another thing about it is like with people in general,
[49:16] Speaker 4: not even just in the industry, but always like when
[49:18] Speaker 4: people feel like you have a ton of momentum and
[49:21] Speaker 4: you're going up going up going up and they can't
[49:23] Speaker 4: they can't do it themselves the easiest way to level
[49:26] Speaker 4: the score is to pull you down yeah that's just
[49:28] Speaker 4: that's just how people are out there it's a sad
[49:31] Speaker 4: you know what i'm saying it's like a sad thing
[49:33] Speaker 4: so like when you go out and you celebrate and
[49:35] Speaker 4: you do all this stuff and they see all that stuff,
[49:37] Speaker 4: it just, like you said, it just makes people mad, envious.
[49:39] Speaker 4: And then they want to come up with ways to,
[49:41] Speaker 4: they call it, in New York, they used to call
[49:43] Speaker 4: it like quiet, like quiet money. Like you want quiet money.
[49:46] Speaker 4: Like you make money, you celebrate your successes quietly.
[49:49] Speaker 3: People know, everybody knows, you know, but you can't be
[49:53] Speaker 3: like showing up like that. You can't be like a
[49:57] Speaker 3: show off. You got to be like, I'm from them,
[50:00] Speaker 3: you know, they made me so. It's like that, but
[50:03] Speaker 3: I don't like to get burned like that. Like chill
[50:07] Speaker 3: and work and keep creating. Rob Markman, Is.
[50:09] Speaker 2: This your home base right now?
[50:11] Speaker 3: Puerto Rico? Puerto Rico, yeah, yeah.
[50:11] Speaker 2: Rob Markman, Always you think it'll be?
[50:13] Speaker 4: Always.
[50:14] Speaker 3: For now, bro. I just want to live in PR.
[50:18] Speaker 3: I can go everywhere and live like a couple months,
[50:21] Speaker 3: but I feel like the magic for me is in
[50:25] Speaker 3: my island.
[50:26] Speaker 4: Rob Markman, Where do you like to go in the States?
[50:28] Speaker 3: The States, of course, New York is like my main
[50:31] Speaker 3: inspiration in the States. Miami, you know, the Miami is
[50:34] Speaker 3: like for working and to go crazy, Miami is the
[50:38] Speaker 3: best place. But LA too, I like to work too
[50:40] Speaker 3: over there. I go like that, Miami, LA, New York.
[50:43] Speaker 2: That little triangle, yeah, little triangle.
[50:46] Speaker 4: My race course, I just live on that circuit, dude.
[50:49] Speaker 2: It's all the time. Hey, what do your parents think
[50:51] Speaker 2: about your success?
[50:53] Speaker 3: It's crazy. It's like they still look at me as,
[50:58] Speaker 3: Like the son, but they're like, they get like, damn,
[51:03] Speaker 3: how you deal with him? Like, nah, nah, stay calm.
[51:06] Speaker 3: I don't like to tell him all the things that
[51:09] Speaker 3: I suffer or the process that I've been. I just
[51:12] Speaker 3: show him like, I'm good. You know how you are
[51:16] Speaker 3: with your parents? It's like, you won't tell him, wow,
[51:18] Speaker 3: this is bad. This is, they just see the success.
[51:22] Speaker 2: So I don't like to- Yeah, keep it high level.
[51:23] Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't like to mix that.
[51:26] Speaker 4: Man, I got to start doing that more. You're in
[51:28] Speaker 4: the weeds with your Robin? I mean, bro, what are
[51:30] Speaker 4: you talking about? I call her every day. I'm like, oh, man, dude.
[51:33] Speaker 3: I don't like to game with you.
[51:34] Speaker 4: No, I shouldn't because they worry.
[51:36] Speaker 3: You forget.
[51:37] Speaker 2: Especially Robin.
[51:39] Speaker 4: I always got some shots.
[51:41] Speaker 3: Even when I was broke as fuck, like hustling back
[51:45] Speaker 3: in the day, I was like- I'm good.
[51:47] Speaker 4: I'm good.
[51:47] Speaker 3: I'm good. I'm good. Yeah, you know, we're good. But
[51:51] Speaker 3: it's part of it.
[51:52] Speaker 4: You got any- shit that you do deal with that
[51:55] Speaker 4: you just don't talk about? Like any demons?
[51:58] Speaker 2: Yeah, would you talk about it now? We're all friends.
[52:03] Speaker 4: Like any hardships in your life that you've come across
[52:05] Speaker 4: that you use as inspiration now or you use to
[52:08] Speaker 4: inspire other people?
[52:09] Speaker 3: I got a lot. I'm a human, of course, but
[52:14] Speaker 3: it's like that motivation. Let's say I lost a friend
[52:19] Speaker 3: that I love a lot, but that's why I deal
[52:23] Speaker 3: with people, like the sports coming up, I like to
[52:27] Speaker 3: put my, to help from my side. When I see that,
[52:34] Speaker 3: because it's like, stay focused. I don't want the youth
[52:38] Speaker 3: to go Puerto Rico's crazy world. So I know that's
[52:42] Speaker 3: my responsibility.
[52:44] Speaker 4: Just talking to the kids, telling them to stay on
[52:47] Speaker 4: the right track and stuff like that.
[52:48] Speaker 3: Yeah, because let's say they see us, right? Like smoking,
[52:52] Speaker 3: they're practicing. We're with for tracks, everything. Chains, smoking, blah, blah, blah.
[52:57] Speaker 3: And they like, nah, sweat. I'm not gonna practice. Look,
[53:01] Speaker 3: look mic. Look long, look mic up. So they will say,
[53:07] Speaker 3: I'm not gonna focus. Look this. Or even in school,
[53:10] Speaker 3: he's saying to me to study, but look, he's smoking too.
[53:13] Speaker 3: So I just speak him like, that's what I'm trying
[53:17] Speaker 3: to help you. You do whatever you want. Just take
[53:19] Speaker 3: my advice if you want to.
[53:21] Speaker 2: You're a good role model, dude. You're a good role model.
[53:24] Speaker 3: I don't want to be a role model.
[53:26] Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you are, bro.
[53:27] Speaker 5: You are.
[53:27] Speaker 2: Me either. Fuck me. Me either. But that's just the
[53:32] Speaker 2: position that you end up being in.
[53:34] Speaker 1: And you do have to be a little particular sometimes
[53:38] Speaker 1: with what you do and how you move.
[53:40] Speaker 2: Because as you stated about your son.
[53:42] Speaker 1: Young people especially will emulate what you're doing. They'll pick
[53:46] Speaker 1: up on tiny little things. And who knows what the
[53:52] Speaker 1: smallest little thing, what kind of ripple effect that'll have
[53:55] Speaker 1: on someone's life.
[53:56] Speaker 2: I've had just.
[53:59] Speaker 1: Tiny things in my life that I've seen that changed
[54:03] Speaker 1: my whole outlook as a teenager. Mostly positive for me
[54:07] Speaker 1: because I.
[54:09] Speaker 2: Was all right, but.
[54:12] Speaker 1: Yeah, I think anything positive, especially for young people, man,
[54:15] Speaker 1: that's why I'm glad you brought your kid here. It's
[54:18] Speaker 1: cool to meet him. It's good, man, because it can
[54:20] Speaker 1: be so impactful.
[54:23] Speaker 3: Now he will be talking about this.
[54:25] Speaker 2: I haven't even hit him with a pulverizer yet, bro.
[54:29] Speaker 2: Just wait.
[54:31] Speaker 3: I want you to do that because we're going to
[54:34] Speaker 3: fight with you.
[54:34] Speaker 4: Should we bring him on?
[54:36] Speaker 3: Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Rob Markman He's low key, bro.
[54:38] Speaker 4: Rob Markman Yeah, I wanted to ask you quickly too
[54:40] Speaker 4: about working with Benny Blanco.
[54:42] Speaker 3: Benny Blanco is crazy, bro. I was in the studio,
[54:46] Speaker 3: no respect for him, but he's too calm. He's a
[54:51] Speaker 3: different vibe. And when I saw him, everybody, oh, it's
[54:55] Speaker 3: Benny Blanco, you're going to work with him? I'm like, damn,
[54:58] Speaker 3: I got to go with my A1 game. And he
[55:00] Speaker 3: just showed me the genera, that beat. He played the
[55:04] Speaker 3: first beat that he played. One thing that I got,
[55:08] Speaker 3: if I like what they're playing, don't play anything else
[55:14] Speaker 3: till I make a list, a guidance for it. And
[55:18] Speaker 3: when we went in, we make three records, bro, straight up. Damn,
[55:24] Speaker 3: he got a different sound and he knows why he
[55:26] Speaker 3: do it. But you gotta go with his lead. What
[55:31] Speaker 3: we doing? Because he knows. You can tell he's a
[55:35] Speaker 3: little crazy, but he knows why he do it.
[55:38] Speaker 4: I mean, he's one of the best songwriters in the
[55:41] Speaker 4: history of music, right?
[55:42] Speaker 2: He's still so young.
[55:43] Speaker 4: Was he wearing shoes? Was he barefoot?
[55:47] Speaker 3: He was wearing... Sandals. Sandals, but it was a shoe.
[55:53] Speaker 3: Sandal and a shoe were the same thing. Oh, were
[55:55] Speaker 3: they crawling Crocs? Yeah, without.

[56:31] Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
[56:31] Speaker 4: Well, there's a reason why he gets chicks. I mean,
[56:34] Speaker 4: I guess it could be because of his looks.
[56:36] Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, it's definitely because of his looks.
[56:38] Speaker 4: Yeah, but I would say it's maybe a mix of that. No, 99%.
[56:41] Speaker 2: Yeah, bro.
[56:43] Speaker 1: Girls date Benny Blanco because he's, look at the guy.
[56:47] Speaker 2: That curly hair. Yeah, he's dreamy as fuck.

[1:01:21] Speaker 1: It's a hot spot. It's a UFO hot spot. Like,
[1:01:24] Speaker 1: I'm not the only one who came back.
[1:01:26] Speaker 4: But isn't there a military base? Yes. Near there, too?
[1:01:29] Speaker 4: So could it have just been U.S.
[1:01:31] Speaker 3: Planes?
[1:01:31] Speaker 2: No, because it's shut down. In fact, no pedestrians can
[1:01:35] Speaker 2: go to that particular island. They shut it down. And
[1:01:38] Speaker 2: I saw the lights going up and to the left,
[1:01:40] Speaker 2: up and to the left. Same spot.
[1:01:42] Speaker 4: Elon Musk? SpaceX?
[1:01:44] Speaker 2: No.
[1:01:44] Speaker 3: No.
[1:01:46] Speaker 2: That's insane. I'm ready for the aliens to come.
[1:01:49] Speaker 5: Are you?
[1:01:50] Speaker 3: If you ask me, I think they're all over the place,
[1:01:55] Speaker 3: wherever you go.
[1:01:56] Speaker 2: You're probably right.
[1:01:57] Speaker 4: You think they're among us? Like they're infiltrating the... I
[1:02:01] Speaker 4: don't know.
[1:02:02] Speaker 3: I know they are six, but I never had that.
[1:02:06] Speaker 4: You think the earth is flat? Yeah, that's weird, right?
[1:02:11] Speaker 3: Dude. We could be all day talking about that.
[1:02:14] Speaker 6: 100%.
[1:02:14] Speaker 4: Do you like conspiracy theories?
[1:02:17] Speaker 3: I listen to whatever people say, but that's too deep.
[1:02:22] Speaker 4: I don't listen to any of it, dude. I go
[1:02:24] Speaker 4: on Twitter. I leave Twitter dumber every single day. I
[1:02:27] Speaker 4: go on Twitter for like five minutes and they're like, dude,
[1:02:28] Speaker 4: did you hear Kanye dropped a new Hitler song? I'm like,
[1:02:31] Speaker 4: I don't care. What am I supposed to do with
[1:02:33] Speaker 4: this information, bro?
[1:02:36] Speaker 3: Everybody trying to look something like.
[1:02:38] Speaker 4: No, it's all just for clicks and views. It's not even...
[1:02:41] Speaker 4: None of it's real, though.
[1:02:43] Speaker 2: That's why we got to watch what our kids are consuming, man.
[1:02:45] Speaker 2: It's getting weird. It's getting weird. And by the time
[1:02:48] Speaker 2: our children grow up, the world is going to be
[1:02:51] Speaker 2: damn near unrecognizable.
[1:02:54] Speaker 3: Crazy.
[1:02:55] Speaker 4: I think instead of giving these kids iPads, you got
[1:02:58] Speaker 4: to flip the script early and give them a camera
[1:03:01] Speaker 4: and have them instead of consuming content, they should be
[1:03:03] Speaker 4: creating to help pay for their food because bro, applesauce
[1:03:08] Speaker 4: costs money, bro. Like all this food costs money. Pay
[1:03:10] Speaker 4: for your own food early, bro. If you gave that
[1:03:14] Speaker 4: kid a G7X right now, bro, and he's flipped it,
[1:03:18] Speaker 4: he would crush it. I could tell already. He'd have
[1:03:20] Speaker 4: girls watching it, like everything, bro.
[1:03:21] Speaker 3: But that's the other thing that everybody wants to do,
[1:03:24] Speaker 3: like create content. It's a new world.
[1:03:28] Speaker 4: Do you watch any of the streamers? You know Aiden Ross's?
[1:03:32] Speaker 4: Of course, yeah.
[1:03:33] Speaker 3: I know all of them, and if I don't know him,
[1:03:37] Speaker 3: The little one put me on, bro. Crazy. That's why
[1:03:40] Speaker 3: I'm like.
[1:03:40] Speaker 4: He better not know Aiden Ross. He knows.
[1:03:43] Speaker 3: That's crazy. If you see him, he's going to say
[1:03:47] Speaker 3: he's a YouTuber or something. He knows.
[1:03:49] Speaker 4: Well, he knows Speed.
[1:03:51] Speaker 3: Speed and Kai. Yeah.
[1:03:53] Speaker 4: He knows him.
[1:03:55] Speaker 3: Crazy, bro. All right.
[1:03:56] Speaker 5: Well, bro.
