And I told her this when I finally like actually talked to her, like I like mean this in a no, and I had this conversation where I was like I mean this in like the non weirdest way ever. I've been watching you but I've been like you look like somebody and like I would ask all the like employees like she looks like Roshanna, like she looks really like Roshanna, she looks really like Roshanna. And then I had a. The last conversation I had was with Abraham. Shout out to Abraham, he was on here, but he was. I was like, hey, that girl looks like Roshanna. He's like, yeah, that's her sister.
Speaker 2:I was like yeah, that's how that works.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what I did yeah. I knew her when she couldn't skate at all. She was just when she was starting out, which is hilarious, because Roshanna's been there way longer, but it didn't pick up nothing. Nothing, shoot, it didn't pick up nothing, thank you. So, yeah, appreciate everybody for checking in. Podcast turn up tanaka. Uh, jitterbug aka devin. Um, look, it looked like I had a whole bunch of stuff to talk about, but wait, are you, are you? Uh, are you busy?
Speaker 3:I forgot to send that last joint oh my jesus christ, oh my god, wait, send the last. What the last bar joint? Wait, I thought you. Oh, he only got two.
Speaker 1:I sent him. No, it's a mess. This whole 2-1 thing had me all confused.
Speaker 3:Well, yes, I already sent him two, so I sent you three.
Speaker 1:but one of those is his, so I had to send you one more. But I had to send you one more.
Speaker 3:But I didn't send you the one. You're working harder, not smarter. You should have just sent him one. Yeah, you didn't confuse that. I'm so confused.
Speaker 1:That's why I'm confused, bro. How are you confused? You know what I'm saying. Because I usually only send him three. Yes, you're not sending but I had already sent you the three oh jesus christ.
Speaker 3:Okay, so what was?
Speaker 1:he gonna do two, no, I. So then I sent him the three, but I didn't send you the one more why didn't you just send him one?
Speaker 3:why are you sending three more?
Speaker 1:no, no, no, no, the ones that you talked about, the two that you sent, and plus my one I sent to him because you told me to send it to him.
Speaker 3:So you only sent him the two.
Speaker 1:I sent him the three, all of his, all of his. But I only sent you two, because one of yours is his.
Speaker 3:Exactly why did you have to subtract one of mine to give to him?
Speaker 1:Because you told me to send you one of Devin's, and that's what I did.
Speaker 3:You see how folks just working, just working like bro, bro, like devon, just just think about this right, I'm supposed to get three, you're supposed to get three, he's supposed to get three. I already have my three. I'm like hey, tanaka, can you send devon one more? He's like you know what, I'm gonna cut one from yours, I'm gonna send it to you, and then I'm gonna see cut one from yours, I'm going to send it to you, and then I'm going to send you one more, devin. What's this?
Speaker 1:Because the one that I meant to send for him was in there.
Speaker 3:So why don't you just send another one? Just send another one.
Speaker 1:But then you asked me.
Speaker 3:That's what he was doing, because I'm saying he's cutting one from mine and then sending. But that's what I'm saying. Why are you cutting? Just send you one, I already have three.
Speaker 2:Let me just do the one that I already have. You need to inhale and exhale Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1:Everybody needs to just inhale and exhale Too much naka See.
Speaker 3:Shout out to the IC Queens Just too much. I could have just did one of Devin's. I don't care, it's a mess man, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:Well, while he's, trying to figure his Welcome to the TNT Podcast. Alright, that's it, man. We're done, though.
Speaker 2:Welcome to the TNT Podcast.
Speaker 1:We'd like to welcome everybody. My name is DJ Tunaq. Alongside DJ Turnover, We've got a special guest in the building. My name is Devin. Devin, aka Jitterbug, is in the spot, man, you can't make me one of a kind Jitterbug. How you been man, it's been a minute.
Speaker 3:Right man. You got the people like, oh, where did Devin come from?
Speaker 1:I had no idea.
Speaker 3:Girl, I've been trying to be out the mess. I'm not going to lie, I've been trying to I didn't even know that you moved.
Speaker 1:I knew that you had quit Sparkles and all that, but I was unaware that you actually moved out of the state. You know what I'm saying Because I wasn't seen around skating like that. You know game like that. You know so well.
Speaker 3:I'm well like I was working at sparkles, like when I was like 17, right so like when I like quit sparkles, I went to a new job. Then I turned 18, I was trying to be grown adult and everything, so I had to get out of georgia. That's gonna work.
Speaker 1:So you left georgia, and where did you? Where did you? Where did we move? To oklah City, oklahoma City, and this is the old stomping grounds.
Speaker 3:And where is that it's above Texas, right above Texas. I was born in Oklahoma City, so it ain't nothing, but I know it's like Wildebeest and whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1:Oh is it.
Speaker 3:I didn't know nothing about that. It's like Buffalo, but like not ground from the city Got you.
Speaker 1:So we were talking off air and I was asking Jitterbug. I said, okay, every state you know is different with the skate scene, so go ahead and break it down for us. How is it out there in oklahoma skating wise man? What's happening?
Speaker 3:the skate scene is like trash. It's not like I'm like I'm not. I'm not no hater. I know everybody like gotta start from somewhere. However. However, come on though.
Speaker 1:So break it down for the people that don't know what type of styles do you be seeing out there?
Speaker 3:So okay, I'm going to just do a comparative draft. In Atlanta they got JB House Snap, atl riding, slow Set all that. They got everything. They don't do barely anything. People like I backpack, solo, backpack by myself. They look at me like I'm crazy. I might ATL step a little bit. They look at me like how does he even know how to do that? Come on now. And I really don't even do nothing. I'm like how does he even know how to do that? Come on now, I really don't even do nothing. So what styles are out there? Are there any styles of skating out there? It's like either they're learning or they think that they're just good because they need to go over there too. That's another thing. But they be doing JB snapping and stuff like that. But then it's like the DJs also be terrible. The DJs are so bad there's not one that you can shout out no, oh damn Damn Zero.
Speaker 1:No, I'm not going to lie, there's not one that you can shout out no, oh damn damn zero. No, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2:I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3:I remember one time they tried to bring some dude from Houston. He was just as bad. I was like what's what's going on.
Speaker 3:Well, I will say this for people that and I'm gonna just reel it out real quick for people that be trying to fly people out it usually be like folks that have nothing to do with a skating rink, and I'm gonna just reel it out real quick for people that be trying to fly people out, it usually be like folks that have nothing to do with a skating rink and I will tell you this you will get like, no matter what type of shit you on, you got this kind of cloud. You got that kind of cloud. You got this many followers. You can't just come to a skating rink and think you're just gonna be big shit, cuz they will boo you out skating that's what I should have been.
Speaker 3:That's what I should have done every single time I go out there. I'm sick of them. They barely be taking requests too, if you want to take a request, and then you got to fill them up with requests because they probably may not even hear. The session is three hours, by the way. The session is three hours.
Speaker 1:Three hour session. I was having this conversation with Devin. I was like because I keep hearing this right, alabama folk, man, dj's ass, knock. You don't understand. Florida knocking, you don't understand, like dj's ass. And I'm just like it can't be that bad. It really can't be that bad. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3:like all the way like atlanta, can't be like the only place they have like okay, I'll say this I some, okay some of the djs in atlanta.
Speaker 3:To me they don't even compare to y'all, but they're still good, right, they still know how to dj in a skating right. Like they can't. Like it'd be sporadic, slow set, sometimes be 10 minutes, other times it'd be short as hell, so like you can't even really be like doing nothing, and then you're just like you don't even want to just go to the skate rink, you just want to just go outside, like to a park or something, then just skate around, so it's that bad to the point that you don't even want to go to the rink.
Speaker 1:Look, you probably just plug up the headphones and just do your own thing.
Speaker 3:So In Atlanta I would skate Friday, saturday, sunday and then Monday, and then I would probably skate Wednesday, just to practice. I skate probably like once or twice every Sunday of every month. Damn, that's funny, because they only have adult skate once, like like once a week on, like the first second. It's not even at the same skating, remind you, not. No, it's like each each skating rink, so they all just share a, uh, an adult skate and it's all different.
Speaker 2:Yeah each sunday you have to go to the skate, so this Sunday we'll be at the skate-o.
Speaker 1:That's the bubble fuck. Next week we'll be at Alright rollers join us.
Speaker 3:We're all going. Yeah, that would piss me off, I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1:That would piss me off.
Speaker 3:So on the first and the third week I've got to go to Midwest City Starscape Starscape. On the second Sunday I got to go to Southskate and on the last Sunday I got to go to Skate Galaxy. But I don't like Skate Galaxy. I've heard of Skate Galaxy. Their floor is terrible. Their floor is terrible. It's three different colors and it's bumpy.
Speaker 1:So break it down how many different rinks are in Oklahoma. Four, four rinks. And if you were, to what happened to the?
Speaker 3:fourth no I miscounted.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so break it down for us, the order in which ranks you enjoy in Oklahoma Well it sounds like you like any of them. I like to skate outside. Parking lot one. Parking lot two.
Speaker 3:Oh damn, they're not even two. Okay, so three. God damn, because it's actually an outside skating rink. That's the fourth skating. The fourth skater? Oh, they have an outside, yes, if they have an outside skater. But that skater ring they only have a dj, like twice a month, and then the dj don't even play skating, they just play with like I don't even know, like I'm like a lot, you're playing bullshit, yikes. And then when they're not there, it just be just nobody there. So you gotta bring headphones or like a stereo, which is cool, but like all the time like what did like right.
Speaker 3:And then y'all do, you have a dj.
Speaker 1:It's like just as bad so this is to let y'all know, you guys are spoiled, spoiled in atlanta spoiled.
Speaker 3:right, I don't sounds like One story short, it just sounds like you're spoiled.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:Right, because look in.
Speaker 1:Atlanta, you can literally skate every day of the week.
Speaker 3:Literally every day of the week I was With multiple options sometimes.
Speaker 2:I was Multiple options Right.
Speaker 3:If I kid you not, if I was here for Track track fever, I probably would have went to Sparkles on Sunday and then went right to. Stone Mountain. But I will say this Devin is definitely that case of just spoiled because, let's be honest, devin started at Sparkles and he started with me.
Speaker 2:So like he gave you my name Jitterbug.
Speaker 3:He got his name Jitterbug because he was always just. I don't know if that was before he started smoking weed or something, but you were always just. I was like calm down, jitter Jesus, but yeah, but nah, and then he started branching out. And then he started branching out and then he started looking. He's like, wow, this other stuff sucks. Yeah. Yeah, the thing is just working at Sparkles. It was the best job. It was messy it was.
Speaker 3:It was, but, not gonna lie, that was the best job, just because I actually found something that I love to do. And then I made friends who I'm still friends with to this day. So you, so, you, um, so you weren't even skating before you worked at, uh, sparkles. Well, no, I, to be honest, I started skating at Sonic because then you know, they got the uh skating college. Oh cute, and I heard that you were going to get paid more. I guess it was one of that check so I learned how to skate right.
Speaker 3:They got me some ugly ass, green and black skates, and I thought I was. This is naive, right? That's great guys.
Speaker 1:So how did, how did you end up at sparkly from there, or how did you even discover it?
Speaker 3:so you know, after I quit Sonic and then I kept the skates I was skating around at the park and then those skates broke. I just didn't skate for another year after that. Then I started working at Sparkles.
Speaker 1:One thing led to another. How did you find?
Speaker 3:out about Sparkles. Oh, I was a regular.
Speaker 1:I used to go all the time I don't remember you.
Speaker 3:Remember back way, way, way was a regular. Oh, seriously, go all the time. I don't remember you. Yeah, like, okay. So remember back like way, way, way before the paint, before they had this paint, but it was all like purple orange and everything else. Yeah, yeah, I was there with Kyra Lyskin. That name sounds familiar. She's Lyskin. I'd have to see her face. You literally know her. Yeah, I probably do. That's my daughter. Yeah, I would have to um because it was me wait a minute is that that girl that would be looking mean, I think that's her.
Speaker 3:I think, if that's her, I think I got a picture of her. I got that picture of her on my phone. She always she's like when you come over, you always look so mean, like relax, all right, oh kira. Oh, is it tyra? Well, no, it's kira, but I said it wrong I'm about to say, I swear to god. I thought that was yeah, she works there now she works there yeah, she works there now.
Speaker 3:Oh, hell, yeah, she better damn, you really been in my for real kira, that light-skinned girl that uh either work in a cafe or works in, uh, the skate shop. You, you've seen her before, you've seen her before. You literally have, there's no way you haven't seen that girl before.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, okay. So, yeah, she works. Yeah, it's gonna fall a couple times, I don't know why. I'm not gonna keep putting this up, but yeah, she, uh, damn, you really been out the way, you don't know? Yeah, because you've been there for a little minute now no, me, me and Kira, she knew me before I couldn't skate at all.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:But the first style I learned was jamscape.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we had to jamscape together.
Speaker 3:Yeah, every single jamscape Harassing you.
Speaker 2:Oh absolutely. Yes, as we all did.
Speaker 3:As they all do. Present time, present time most likely, we'll be harassing you here tomorrow. That's what I'm saying. Present time, it's all good. Well, most likely, don't play with that slow step of course of course not thank you so much.
Speaker 1:So okay, um you guys so jitterbug um wait real quick. Oh oh, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. No, we're not moving on. I want to talk about it.
Speaker 2:Let's talk about it, Say it Trisha.
Speaker 3:Let's talk about it. There were two things I wanted to bring up.
Speaker 1:You know what it did hit me.
Speaker 2:I don't remember what he was talking about.
Speaker 3:Oh, you know what he's talking about. So I could do the skate shot by myself and it was an adult night and Tanaka I don't know if he would. No, yeah, he was a little sick that day so he was kind of spaced out already. He had came up there. He was like you did everything One adult night mind you.
Speaker 1:This is when I came back from my trip, right, look, he probably doesn't know that Let him.
Speaker 3:Tell it from his side and you can tell your side, okay, because he don't remember exactly what I'm talking about. The people that didn't hear what's happening right now. Apparently, this is when devin saved tanaka's job as sparkles going at resume. I'm sorry, okay, so I'm working right and, like you know, like back then it was like from like 7 to 12, so it was from 8 to 12. It was from 8 to 12,. Yeah, so he planned it and everything like that. Right, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 3:He going to ask me when did we close today? I do remember. I don't know where 11 o'clock came. I do remember this.
Speaker 2:I don't know where 11 o'clock came. Oh man, I do remember this.
Speaker 3:I don't know where 11 o'clock came, but he was literally, from the start, like breaking down his all, his everything ladies and gentlemen, this last song of the night he was so ready to get out of there too.
Speaker 1:I do remember that so, to add further context to this story, I had I'm pretty sure, yeah, I'm pretty sure this, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is when I went to. I went to Miami the night before oh my God, that fucking and I was there.
Speaker 3:Oh, I do remember this, yes.
Speaker 1:I was there for maybe like how long was that? 14 hours or something Like real short, like not even 24 hours.
Speaker 3:It's starting to come back to me now, because you had told me that yeah, just the one where you're at the club, and then they whoo, I got you gotta you gotta go back to the archive to hear that story boy.
Speaker 1:That's the club and all that, but anyway, I was home. I don't remember the name of that episode. Basically, I was hung over and I came back to atlanta and I had to dj that night you know what I'm saying. And so I get to spark with one day and then my head is just all over the place. And then, um, I'm over here like damn, like tom's flying, like I'm, I'm like I gotta fit all these music in.
Speaker 2:He was trying to get all the songs in.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying and then Devin, he had kind of rushed the session.
Speaker 2:It was an adult night.
Speaker 1:They were cussing you out. It's like Tanaka. We closed at midnight. I was like oh shit.
Speaker 2:I've been over here rushing through all this work, thinking I ain't had no time man it was only that, because it was an adult night and I did not want you to get cussed out.
Speaker 3:I just feel like, oh my God, yeah, you did all right, ladies, and gentlemen.
Speaker 2:All right, everybody be like. What, sorry, I'm closer early.
Speaker 1:Right, I just got here, you know how they go.
Speaker 2:That was a lot. So, Jitterbug.
Speaker 3:Thank you, thank, I think so. Yeah, that was a lot, so Jitterbug thank you.
Speaker 1:Thank you for saving me, because I ain't gonna lie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they did 7 to 11 now and what's actually funny, I remember I did the first. I remember I did their first 7 to 11. Nobody knew that it was 7 to 11. It was like that first hour the first person didn't come in until like 40 minutes before, and then it was Malik, so like I was playing JV music for him because he was the only one in there. So yeah, 7 to 11 now Pretty much, man. And then there was one other thing. There was one other thing I was going to ask you but I don't remember. So, yeah, I'm going to go back to your questions and stuff.
Speaker 1:So what was the first style you learned once you started skating frequently, I guess?
Speaker 3:like fast skating. Here it's called jamskate.
Speaker 1:Jamskate right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that was my first one. Do they jamskate?
Speaker 1:in Oklahoma.
Speaker 3:No, no. So when they? Play like that tempo of music? What do they do when?
Speaker 1:they play.
Speaker 3:I guess it's called like shuffle, shuffle, okay so it's like I know what shuffle skating look like. That's not shuffle skating, I don't know. Shout out to Solo. He actually told me apparently y'all were taught wrong. Apparently, jam skating is like when they do the middle work stuff. Yeah, that's jam skating. Apparently, shuffle skating is when y'all are going around. Even if they do shuffle skate. That's not what they do, is not shuffle?
Speaker 3:And when they do play, that, when they do play that they like do fast backwards, and like that's the only thing that, like, I'll give them, like they can go fast backwards. If anything they can go fast backwards, that's pretty much it. They don't. And like I'm not even all that good, like I'm well, no, I'm just here, I'm just like but, like but you know like I know, but I know like there's people that, like you know, that escape much better, better, better, right for y'all looking at me like I'm just right, I'm just.
Speaker 1:Well, it's probably not that.
Speaker 3:It's probably just because it's different. They've never seen it before. Some be scowling at me yeah. They be trying to figure out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so, being that you then came back from Oklahoma, has Sparkles Gwinnett changed since, from when you?
Speaker 3:Yeah Well, I don't think he's been back. Hell, he didn't even know Kira was working there, I didn't. So yeah, I gotta see, but like, when's the last time you've?
Speaker 1:been back.
Speaker 3:I was in Atlanta in June last time I was here. I was here in June yeah, a lot and yeah.
Speaker 1:So what did you notice? Everybody don't like each other. Everybody be fake, everybody be and yeah so what did you notice?
Speaker 3:Just was there. Like everybody don't like each other, everybody be fake, everybody be da-da-da-da-da-da. Like where's the peace? And like tranquility. Like come on now. Like this is not what skating is supposed to be about. And like, yeah, I know. Like it be getting aggressive. Don't get me wrong, I'm not even.
Speaker 3:I'm not shy from y'all right but like we can't have fun, y'all, we can't just roll in the circle, right, okay, nope, nope, see, no, basically, just we all, we all can't just like, just roll in a circle and just like so devin tell us so who?
Speaker 1:who are you like? Who are like the folks that you skate with for real, like that? She was that. She was cool, I'm gonna say who I skate with now. Um, slim, slim, okay, shout out to you jakela, jakela, jakela learned how to atl right. I should put you girl jakela jakela they got some swag yeah, jakela got some swag in her like I'll be like she was like learning how to backpack.
Speaker 3:So bad, but she could not move that one leg if you don't move that one leg, that one, because, like I don't know what she be doing, but that one leg, he kicked her ass and she finally got it. So, um, cloud, upper heart, uh, that's Sky. Um, who else I skate with? So I tried with my children Lele, kira, naya.
Speaker 1:Who else yeah, Lele didn't got good too yeah, lele didn't got good too yeah.
Speaker 3:Layla didn't got good. Layla didn't good, she didn't got better, she got much better.
Speaker 1:Mello no way no love.
Speaker 2:Mello, no love Mello. Love me some Mello, love me some Mello.
Speaker 1:I didn't know that she was Mello. Damn, that's so sick.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you could work there.
Speaker 1:I'm saying man. Mellow hard Mellow man.
Speaker 2:If there's any kind of skate battle with Mellow women. I'll put my money on Mellow. I'm going to have it.
Speaker 1:Mellow hard.
Speaker 3:Yeah, mellow got good too. For sure I rock.
Speaker 1:Mellow man yeah.
Speaker 3:Mellow, got hard too. Let me ask you this, devin Do you have a skate crew out where you live? A skate crew Like, not skate crew, but like people that like you go to the skate rink or you go out to the skate you know park or whatever? No, you don't got nobody. That you hit up like, hey, we're going skating. Nope, you just skate by yourself, like pretty much.
Speaker 1:And is the skate community like? And is the skate community like you pretty much like. I know you're not cool to fall like that, but like you recognize them, like you like.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's that's like in Atlanta, no, oh no, they don't have regulars. Well, they have regulars, but like like you know, like it's like you don't really pay no mind to them and then you do like you like you'll keep it. They like you like dirty books and whatever it's like it would like it would just be a lot. That's crazy. Like I know, like I'm like one girl, I don't even want names right she cool.
Speaker 3:But like as far as like regulars, it's the same people that go to the same adult skates every other sunday to different skaters all the time Y'all supposed to be a family. I would like to. I would like to. We can't just go in a circle and just roll around, nope.
Speaker 1:At all. That's crazy. Nope, that's crazy. I would like to. So, basically, the talent level in Atlanta is way high. Is what I'm getting, yeah.
Speaker 3:Well, more so, not even like talent level, because I feel like anybody can like skate. It's not that hard to like do what we do Right, like you got to have your own swag, your own like whatever. Like I'm like again, I'm not all that good, but what makes me a good skater? What makes me mean? Because I skate, like you see, but I was going to say that though, like again, I'm not all that good, but what makes me a good skater?
Speaker 2:what makes me mean because I skate like me you see.
Speaker 1:But I was gonna say that, though jitterbug is that, look, you skate in atlanta like it's it's regularity. You know what I'm saying. So the talent level may not be the same in oklahoma. That's that diversity that you need.
Speaker 3:You can't just look at a video, do it and actually learn it, but then not have your own swag suit. That's how you look stiff Right, right, right, because you can do the steps. Anybody can ATL step Right, anybody can JB. You can learn that easily. But do you genuinely look good Right, or do you just look stiff Right? So, tanaka, are you saying that he's like he's now, since he's moved? He's like a big fish on a small pond. Yeah, pretty much Big, motherfucking kahuna.
Speaker 1:You recognize? Yeah, that's basically what I was saying. That's what I was saying.
Speaker 3:I don't have skaters who are way better than me trying to downplay me. I said, regardless, we can do the same stuff and I bet you I still eat you up.
Speaker 1:I'll figure, I'll figure man. No, I was just I was just saying, man, I was just saying because, like in Atlanta, it's one of those things where, like, if that's like, if that's what you're used to, like the, the type of skill level you know, what. I'm saying, whether it be skaters, whether it be DJs, then I remember, I remember what I was going to ask Then it's like you go to Oklahoma and if they're not on that same type of level then you're just out there shining.
Speaker 3:It's like, for example, I tried to teach one girl how to ATL ride. Mind you, I'm just not learning it myself. I'm just kind of like Shout out Juju into the group. Shout out to Juju Into the group chat hey.
Speaker 2:Juju. What's going on? Shout out to.
Speaker 3:Juju, we get every adult. That's another thing.
Speaker 1:Good vibes. Hey, what's?
Speaker 2:going on. We ain't just motherfuckers. What's going on? That's my mom and my mama. Another quickers going on. Nails, that's my mom. Another quick shout out.
Speaker 3:Auntie Naya, oh, she probably finna call.
Speaker 2:She probably finna be here now. Please go get her Go get your nanny. That's funny. What was the question?
Speaker 3:I honestly don't even remember what we were talking about, but I do remember what I was going to ask, um, so it was going to be a two-parter because I remember you were going to talk about it anyway. But I remember earlier off air you said that you don't like Cascade. You'd like to talk about why you don't like Cascade. So I went to Casc cascade one time and like I went by myself because like I don't really like mesh well with the whole like skate group, skate crew aesthetic thing, so I skate by myself anyway. So I'm right, by myself, right, and I went in like bitches be like rude for no reason, like I understand, I understand, if I'd be in myself, right, and I went and like bitches, be like rude for no reason, like I understand, I understand, if I'd be in the way or anything like that. Like it'd be like did you just like, try to like do that?
Speaker 3:oh man, it's like did you just like am I pushing you or something? Yeah, yeah, like people push you. People like give you dirty. Looks like everybody will, everybody's, so clicked up. Yeah, that's definitely the culture, and cascade yeah, that's yeah, and then they would. But that's the thing, though, at cascade what I noticed because I don't skate, but what I noticed is that that's just their culture and they don't see it as they don't see it as no way, they're just trying to.
Speaker 3:They're really just trying to see it more so as like the big shot only because Cascade is more of a. No, that's just it. Cascade is for the tourists. In my fair opinion, you can go to Cascade and see genuine skaters, but if you really want to see that shit, go to Snow.
Speaker 1:Mountain.
Speaker 3:Well, there you go. Speaking of the tourists, tanaka, would you like to elaborate on your sensational night? Uh, you said you were gonna talk about it, so just say it again cascade yesterday. What? What happened yesterday? You said you were going to talk about it oh man, it was just oh, I don't you look you don't know, yeah.
Speaker 3:I'll just say you what I saw, because I wasn't really paying attention and I will say that shout out to um, shout out to Brian, because if it wasn't for him, that's actually how I got into Cascade. Kind of. That was the first time I ever did Cascade was like two or three years ago when I did the Georgia State uh homecoming party, but anyway, so I got to the. I got to the parking lot because I went to go get a shirt from Ron. That's why I actually was there. So he told me to meet him in the parking lot and I got it from him. Well, yeah, that line was stupid. It was like it was like eight. No, it was like nine, it was like 930-.
Speaker 1:And that line. That's crazy. I was literally out there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, no, it was like 9 to like 20. It was like 9 to 20-ish. You were out there then.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay, well, yeah, so that line. It was crazy that line went from literally Cascade you walking in the door to that parking lot, Like to the parking lot, I don't know, but I was out there. Oh, I wasn't, I don't, I wasn't really out there. I went to drive. I went to go find ron. I was like hey, where you at? I just so happened to see him. He was in a car with me.

Speaker 1:You know. I mean I expected it, but it was like somebody I literally just seen because I posted recap or whatever, and somebody had reposted a joint and they're like the amount of people that was following. It was like World War 3 out there, like you know what I'm saying, because that joint was I ain't gonna cap and it was like train wreck, like it'd be like one person to put five people down. You know what I'm saying. Like it was crazy.
Speaker 3:I would've been playing that shit all night.
Speaker 1:All night. All night man, you know what I'm saying. It was a lot, it was a lot, it was definitely a lot. I actually bust my ass. You know what I'm saying because these folks, you know what I mean. It was bad man, it was bad bro. I ain't had a wood tax in a minute man, so you know, I was like still a little bruised up.

Speaker 1:That's crazy. That's it. That's crazy. Um so yeah, jitterbug, so okay. So skate culture in oklahoma, so they don't have their own style. There's no oklahoma skate style, I think it would be the shuffle skate the shuffle. I think it would be the Shuffle Skate. The Shuffle Skate, because they do that a lot. Okay, shuffle Skate is their home style. If there were three songs that you were guaranteed to hear at the Oklahoma Sessions, what would they be?
Speaker 3:I couldn't tell you, couldn't tell me I couldn't tell you. I'm just hoping, praying, that it meant like, like it really distressed me.
Speaker 3:So there's like not a song that you can like. You can guarantee that. Okay. So, like you know you go to Sparkles. You know you're gonna hear who you With and you know you're gonna hear Black Violin. There's not one song that you know is like I'll say Heaven Can Wait. Oh, they like that song, like Michael Jackson, that's it Really Like off the top of my head. Well, it's good to know they do slow sets For like three and a half seconds. Can't even make a full lap around the skating rink. Literally can't make this up. Y'all Can't even slow set by myself, all the way.
Speaker 1:Because by the time I am the slow set's over.
Speaker 3:So Jitterbug you were able to go to GCO. I went to GCO.
Speaker 2:Oh, one time for Sally's check-in I went to GCO Shout out to AJ.
Speaker 3:Shout out to y'all yeah. Yeah, I'm saying he ain't been in Sparkles since June. No, I haven't been to GCO in a year. Oh, yeah, no G-Call. Yeah, when was the last G-Call I was at? It was like last year in October. That was the last G-Call I went to. So it's been a year or some change. Alright, man. Well, I guess we gotta add Nigel to the.

Speaker 1:Definitely, man Definitely.
Speaker 3:Every complaint is like it. Man tj used to request that song a lot. It's a good song, but like every speech like that's that's not a song I want to hear every time. Yeah, because it's like. I kid you, not every single like like I. Just I remember hearing that song on the album when I first got the album and I was like meh, I didn't appreciate that song until I got older.
Speaker 2:So I was like okay, it's cool, I get a dipping song and I can't dip to save my life.
Speaker 3:Well, see, that's why the Wood IRS is waiting on you, they waiting on you for that, right there, as soon as you start dipping, boom Gotcha, they got you, they gonna get you. I had to get a whole new phone because I was trying to be cool and do JB. I was trying to be cool and I did some kind of somersault spin in the air and I landed it right on my phone Somersault is crazy.
Speaker 3:Somersault spin in the air and I landed it on my phone and broke my phone so I had to get a whole new iPhone. Yeah, somersault is crazy. I be having some bad ones. Y'all just never see them. What's up? I fell and I slid. Yeah, slide is nuts, especially at the speed y'all be going. That's how y'all just getting. I'm being scared to slip. It was so car swish I couldn't man. But yeah, no, oh, I thought uh, sally, I thought your favorite. She said well, for people that they can't see, she said say it is the best slow set song. I thought your favorite. Her favorite song was Nothing but A Number.
Speaker 1:She's always asking for that song.
Speaker 3:Nope Skin Rihanna.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I'm going to talk about that damn song, so do they play Skin out there?
Speaker 2:in Oklahoma. I have a video of me yelling.
Speaker 3:Why? Hey, by the way, let's talk about it Please. For the people that don't know DJ Atticut, we're going to just talk about it Please. For the people that don't know DJ etiquette, we're going to just talk about this. Right now we're going to have a second separate for DJ talk. Look, I don't know what y'all ingo be when y'all be trying to yell from the floor or the skate floor or wherever y'all be at, but that's one thing you don't do. Don't fucking yell at the DJ, because that's like me. Personally, if you yell at me, I'm like okay, my bad, what song did you want to hear? Oh, you don't want to hear jeezy bet. Now I know what song not to play. Here's now. Look, here's the thing he did, like ask, like he was like hey, what did you want?
Speaker 1:and I and I oh, no, well yeah if he did that.
Speaker 3:Look, if you're having an open communication with the dj, like over the mic and all that, whatever that's cool, like that's that's whatever that's cool, like that's that's whatever. But if he's in the middle of mixing and you know you ain't talking to him and he just you just like, like that's not going to make it no better. Like, I'm just saying like, and that goes universal. I'm not just talking about skating ring, that's just anywhere. I don't know if I can find the video. If I find that video, I'm going to show y'all. Why are you doing that?
Speaker 1:Tanaka, we got a question of the day. Have you been?
Speaker 3:to all the rinks in Georgia. No, I've only been to Cascade.
Speaker 1:Star Mountain and Sparco's Glam.
Speaker 3:So no glide, no zone, no town, no long. That's interesting. You've never been to Skate long. I feel like that's like close to you, well close to where you used to be. No, what makes what makes a good skate? Yes, nigel, we know. Oh, she says, you know, you're my piece. Her favorite slow song is jam by kevin giggs, because niger's, niger's freak a freaky heavy.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness gracious but yeah, what makes a good skating rink?
Speaker 3:Let's talk about it. Question of the day what makes a good skating rink? What does make a good skating rink? I would say like an easy answer would be the people. But that's just like an easy answer.
Speaker 1:I would say like I mean every ring kind of has their culture of people.
Speaker 3:Yeah, culture of people Don't make them good.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying Different flavors of folks.
Speaker 3:I know Stone Mountain is serious and it's a lot, but Stone Mountain is serious and it's a lot, but Stone Mountain is more welcoming than Cascade.
Speaker 1:I'll say that it's so crazy because my dad said he didn't feel safe at Stone Mountain.
Speaker 3:Well we know who we're running through there the Mayans be taking over. The Mayans be going crazy Between that and Golden Glide. So you've never been to Golden Glide. Nope, that is interesting. I wanted to go one time for John Biscuit, but I realized that I was 18 and I couldn't. Yeah, they be age-restricting. You know, they have 25 and up skaters.
Speaker 2:Now they got like 30 and up now they got like 30 and up now.
Speaker 3:They got like 30 and up. So it's just a bunch of old bitches just skating around. Yeah bro, they can tell y'all young motherfuckers.
Speaker 2:It's all good, you'll be good.
Speaker 1:Y'all cutting in that lane, y'all be cutting in that lane. Speed racing up.
Speaker 3:How about you get like us?
Speaker 1:Time is changing. Racing out there, how about you get like us? It's time to change it. They're older man, they can't go as fast they get out the way.
Speaker 3:They are getting out the way. That's why they're doing their own.
Speaker 2:I honestly don't want to hear that, because I know a couple of old folks that'll beat me in a multitude of races and they did not lose no breath.
Speaker 3:I don't want to hear that. That's a slick handful, you know, not everybody's okay, but okay, but it's just like kind of having that's kind of just like having the um like you wouldn't want, no, like you wouldn't be want to be skating with no 12 year olds, right, true, but in that same sentence. I know I can ignore them. They're annoying, don't get me wrong. They're annoying, I know I can ignore them. They're annoying, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1:They're annoying.
Speaker 3:No, no, you can't ignore them.
Speaker 1:I can't, big Meech, I'm going to check in.
Speaker 3:No, I'll definitely call your card on that one. What One time for Big Meech. I'm going to check in, but no, I'm going to call your card on that one because there will be a couple times they'd be in the way, and then you come to me Turn up, make the announcement about the slow skaters on the outside, slow skaters on the inside, I mean so much for ignoring yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm like, hey, what's the correct thing to do? Can you please get the DJ and make the announcement that you're looking for going to do the rough way?
Speaker 3:before they get kicked in the head. Five minutes before Attention skaters Fast skaters on the outside, slow skaters on the inside.
Speaker 2:Thank, you, if you are inexperienced.
Speaker 3:I just said five minutes before. That means that's what happened five minutes before.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I don't do that, no.
Speaker 3:I hear it Because you don't hear it, I do hear it. I used to say it. Yeah, you did. Yeah, you used to say it. Boy, I know y'all don't be listening, boy, I swear I say it like two minutes before they come up.
Speaker 2:Like hey, can you say it?
Speaker 3:That's Demetrius, your buddy. Yeah, man, big meat.
Speaker 1:Demetrius. Anyway, do you want to?
Speaker 3:finish this question of the day. Yeah, whatever. Oh yeah, music, thank you. The music okay, yeah, I would say the music, all the music. Okay, yeah, um, because, like, only because, like I feel like, for example, y'all too, I will really give it to y'all, like with all the djs, like y'all have y'all own, like you, like you know us, you know a atl rise session with turn up this plane. You know that's, you know that it's his session. You got your own intro for your Sloan set. Come on now. You know what it is, we know what it is. It just sets the vibe. Come on now. As soon as we hear you are now listening to the sounds of DJ Tanaka or whatever, the thing is you know what time Tanaka or whatever the fuck it is.
Speaker 2:You know what time it is. You know what time it is.
Speaker 3:But if I go to the skater rink in Oklahoma and I hear that, no, it's not like.
Speaker 1:So they don't be having all that, they don't be having these little intros.
Speaker 3:They don't even interact with the crowd. It's not no, nothing Like you gave us nothing.
Speaker 1:Like you gave us nothing at all Like come on now, I feel that, I feel that, so the floor could be terrible then, yeah, and as long as the music is good.
Speaker 3:Well, as long as the music and the people are good, you're good. Well, I don't really care about the people because, I don't really too much care.
Speaker 1:Well, let me ask you this Good floor, terrible music, bad floor, great music which one do you take in?
Speaker 3:Good floor, terrible music? Yeah, I'm going to need a good floor because Skate Galaxy has a terrible floor. It's like three different colors. It's bumpy as hell. Some parts are slick, Some parts aren't. Do they do that on purpose? I don't know, but I don't find out because I don't stay around. I don't go to that one Out of the four adult nights they have a month go to that one Out of the four adult nights they have a month.
Speaker 3:I miss that one on purpose and I probably don't even go to the other ones. But even still, just with the people. I don't worry about the people because I'm me and I can ignore them. And on top of that, if y'all start bothering me, I can fight. You gotta keep peace Tanaka. And on top of that, if y'all start, bothering me.
Speaker 1:I can fight. You got to keep your fingers to knock them, did you? Get in any fights as far as Bonet, yeah, a couple. Did you know about this, turner?
Speaker 3:I don't pay attention to that. Turner don't be knowing, I don't. Oh no, he knows Like he'll look over and he'll be like oh, that's going on.
Speaker 1:He'll be like oh, oh, that's going on. You're like oh, that's going on. Let's see. Yeah, then why? Yeah, why was you out there fighting, man? Y'all couldn't just peacefully talk this out? I?
Speaker 3:really be trying to like oh my gosh, like I, like I kid you not, I don't start it, but like you're gonna end it man, yes, like, for example, I had this one guy who I used to work with that sparkle.
Speaker 3:You're not gonna say his name because fuck him everything he stands for like he was just like he would like be on some bitch shit. And then when I like, when we like talk about it like face to face man and man type shit, right, it would be a whole completely different thing. And then he, I like, when we like talk about it like face to face, man to man type shit, it would be a whole, completely different thing. And then he lied about it. I done seen screenshots, heard every side of story that there is, so I know you're lying to me and you're still going to lie to my face.
Speaker 2:Come on now and I tried to be cool with him. I really did.
Speaker 3:I tried to be cool, calm and collected and everything.
Speaker 2:Please, please, because I really did try.
Speaker 3:I really did try. But, I'll be a part of none of this. Dj Turnup is not a part of any of the shenanigans that happens at Sparkles Gwinnett. I may be there, I'm not. You know what's crazy. The only thing that I can remember, devin, were you there when them two parents got to fight?
Speaker 2:Oh, I gotta find the video.
Speaker 1:I have the video somewhere.
Speaker 2:That's you with the grandma.
Speaker 3:The grandma. I'm not gonna lie. For some reason, that's the only fight I can remember, because that grandma wasn't working.
Speaker 2:Oh, yeah, no she was not setting shit up, she was GIJ yeah.
Speaker 3:And that was like they had coffee to break it up because Nia was down there.
Speaker 2:She had got pushed.
Speaker 3:I was like oh, shoot.
Speaker 2:I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 3:That's when I had to push Nia to the side and be like hey, Nia, please. I understand that you're trying to stop the fight. Please don't stop the fight, because you got too many people watching you and they're going to want to hop in the fight. Now you got a Royal Rumble that would turn one fight into a 5, 6, 7, 8. That's where my whole bra is, Isn't yeah, Wasn't?
Speaker 2:it funny, I saw her wig.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I definitely remember I saw her wig and she came to the skate shop.
Speaker 1:I don't think I heard and I was like bro it was so crazy. It was just two grown people, so they was like they was getting in.
Speaker 2:It was like grown people.
Speaker 3:It was kids. I got hit in the back of my fucking head. Well, that was the people that I was trying to jump in, but it started with two grown women, and then the grandma tried to come in.
Speaker 1:Shut up my time. I know.
Speaker 3:I also know how I saw it. It was two little kids. They had got up on the freaking mushroom things. They started arguing and then they started fighting on top of the mushrooms. Then that's when everybody started fighting.
Speaker 2:And then the grandma was just overly whooping ass. You probably right, I remember that fight because I was really in the middle of an outing.
Speaker 1:Did you hear about why this even took place, what they was arguing about?
Speaker 3:I don't know.

Um, trying to remember what did I have? Oh, so I had robot chicken he had trapped in the closet and you had his rendition of not like us. And so the next inductee into the tnt podcast hall of fame is trapped in the closet, which is actually funny, because he was just so sure that it wasn't gonna work right, which is which is hilarious to me but um, so yeah.
Speaker 3:So shout out to z, shout trapped. Um. So yeah, so shout out to Z, shout out to Trapped in the Closet and um, yeah, next inductee into the TNT podcast, old friend.

Speaker 1:Dan Something like that. Yeah, yeah yeah, why.
Speaker 3:So you have no idea what trapped in the closet is um, I know, age is nothing but a number, and that's all I need to know about all. Carol kelly, I don't think, oh, he wrote the song, I guess, but that's a leah. Age ain't nothing but a number.
Speaker 3:No, he didn't no that was a leah no, I'm not tripping, I don't remember saying it I blame the woods, I blame the woods, I blame the woods. But anyway, while you're doing that, so for the people that don't know, and to explain to Devin, what's happening right now is we just pick something. It could be anything, it could be a thing, it could be whatever. So here are some examples of some things that are in the tnt podcast hall of fame. Just, it's just some ideas that you can pick from um. As a matter of fact. Hold on, let me see, pull it up, like pull up the instagram on your phone.
Speaker 3:I'll, uh, have it for you oh, let's see, I forgot, I picked that beautiful. Um, let me see, I got you. Oh yeah, the wi-fi is coming charged, okay, so yeah, so the ones that are gold? Yeah, so these are all the tnt podcast hall of famers. So you just look, it's just a whole bunch of random shit. You can just think of something to pick. So what if it's a nigga that look like him? There's a lot of people. Oh, you know what's crazy? Yeah, he works there, he works at Sparkles.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 3:He skates at Stone Mountain. Oh then I don't. Then I don't know who you're talking about.
Speaker 2:He said there's somebody that skates.
Speaker 3:That looks like Chavis Gambino. If you put dreads on him, he looks exactly like him. Suavo, suavo, suavo. You're talking about the? Um, he's talking about the dude. That, uh, I know exactly who you're talking about with the glasses. That's funny, he's funny, he's funny, he's funny, he's funny and cool, that's funny as hell that you said, damien yeah, he's talking about he does.
Speaker 3:That's crazy. He does look, he. You know, I think, if you think with him, without uh, without his glasses, and doesn't have dreads, he does kind of look like chad scambino anyway. So yeah, so what's funny about my uh nomination? The TNT Podcast Hall of Fame, that was his nomination, anyway. So he, he said what. Anyway, as I've been really interrupted like five times, so what's actually interesting about this song? This is probably like one of the only songs that me and Tanaka disagree on Because I actually interesting about this song. This is probably like one of the only songs that me and Tanaka disagree on Because I actually did like this song, but he doesn't like this song. He actually hates this song. So, without further ado, my nomination for the TNT.
Speaker 1:Podcast. I appreciate everybody tuning in this man.
Speaker 3:My nomination for the TNT Podcast Hall of Fame is Rick Ross and Robin Thicke's Lay Back Tanaka. When's the first time you heard Rick Ross? Look bro, that song is a vibe bro Bump with whatever they're talking about, they probably don't even know the song and Tanaka.

I haven't dyed my hair and it had to have been a long time ago and it was like I was like a kid and I think it was because, I think, the reason why I dyed my hair I think we were at the fair or some shit, yeah, but yeah, I don't think I've ever gotten to that, but Shout out to the folks that died of hair, just a different level of artistic expression.

Speaker 3:Oh, jesus Christ. Anyway, let's move on. What do we got next? Song of the day yes, song of the day. Um, so the song of the day is uh, young buck stomp. I know you're probably not familiar with young buck, but we're gonna going to put you on Devin, being that you're a Young Buck. Young.
Speaker 1:Buck.
Speaker 3:I thought it was like a gospel song. No, not Kirk Franklin. No, not Kirk Franklin. So what's actually interesting about this song is I actually like the intensity of the song and, honestly and truthfully, I might actually end up adding this to my step folder. Have you ever played the song Taffy?
Speaker 1:Nah, I should though.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I feel like it would mix in with the vibe of the step folder. I just love the intensity of the song. What's actually interesting? At the time I think I was in like the 6th. I had to be in like 6th or 5th grade when the song came out and at the time Young Buck was like my favorite member of g.
Speaker 3:Are you familiar with g unit? Do you really know who g unit is? Good lord, I don't know. You don't know. You don't know nobody.
Speaker 3:Golly, we gotta put them on, it's all good, don't worry, you know 50 cent is yes, I'm about to say well, don't you ask me. We've been asking you about trapping the clock and everything else. You don't know nothing else. I think he's since like a different time. We're going to hold on to that, hold on to that comment. We're going to talk about that. But yeah, so Young Buck was like my favorite member of G-Unit from and it was a very brief moment, which is actually interesting, because I felt like he was my favorite member for the longest brief moment, which is actually interesting because I felt like he was my favorite member for the longest, but like he was really only my favorite member from, like beg for mercy and stradcastle. After that it was like it was the game all the way till, I don't know, he started fucking up with some of his album. That's another story um the game, but I know you don't know who that is either so don't worry about it, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't expect you to know any of the games, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 3:But I mean, look, we're gonna reel it out real quick. Just I was 19. I mean, I knew about all the older folks too. Yeah, I can tell you, like you, um, like you're like a little neo soul, oh, so you're into neo soul, yeah, I so. Yeah, I listen to like old Eric Meyer. Andy Stone, Ooh, Andy Stone, Okay, who else? What's his name? This don't count, but I will go like even further One Time for.
Speaker 1:Mario that boy Zayn yeah.
Speaker 3:I don't think you met Mario. Yeah, he came on later. Well, let's go ahead and wrap the little now. Wrap this up, but let's go ahead, just don't want to go too far left with this. When I heard the song, I was watching the music video for uh shorty want to ride.
Speaker 3:Is that how you first heard the song, too, tanaka yeah, because yes, you know, when the music videos used to have snippets yeah, that was. That was the first time I ever heard it. And at the end of the music video um, yeah, like I said at the end of the short one arrive video, it was a stunt video. It featured young buck and the unit crew performing the song in a dimly lit warehouse, and that's what. That's what I was like. Huh, this song is actually pretty interesting. The song came out when the album came out, which was, like I said, australia Cashville came out August 24th 2004.vin, where were you in 2004? Not even born. Oh, you were still in your dad's house. Yes, I'm going to be back in my dad's house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you had to.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to say you had to be 19, because I know my brother's 18, so you 05. Oh, so they were probably getting ready to get down with you. Oh, they probably got it no, no, no, no, august. Huh, so were you in the belly. Yet May, April, or still.
Speaker 3:You were somewhere between the nutsack and the belly. Why are you figuring that out? Let's figure that out. It was track 12. It was track 12 on Cashmere. No, no, it was probably like in the process. So they just met. They were probably just like, hey, yeah, hey, you want a netflix and chill, right, it was released under juni and endoscope and the producers was, uh, dj paul and jc jay. Um, so this is the interesting part of this whole. I promise this is like the most interesting part of this whole song, right? So this is the first time and I think this is like probably the first and last time they've ever had two people diss each other on the same song, very interesting song. So initially it was supposed to be a song with young buck and ti, but, um, young buck heard the's verse and he heard that he was kind of sneak distant TI. I mean sneak distant Ludacris, which was like his close friend at the time, one time for AC checking in.
Speaker 1:Did.
Speaker 2:I see VCR and chill.
Speaker 1:You said what it's not AC's thing to do.
Speaker 3:VCR and chill is hilarious, it's my good old blockbuster.
Speaker 1:Hey, hit up that blockbuster. Hey, bro, you know when you hit a blockbuster with your shorty.
Speaker 3:you know it's going to be a good time, but we're going to reel it back in.
Speaker 3:I'm sorry. So, yeah, so, anyway. So Young Buck heard TI's verse and, being a good friend of Ludacris, ludacris hear it. And ludacris was like nah, I gotta hop on this song. And so I don't know if it was because he thought the song was hard the beat was hard already and he just wanted to hop on it, or he just was being petty and just heard tia's partner was just like yeah, I gotta, I gotta hop on this, I gotta, I gotta get my side of the story. So, yeah, so when he heard it, he went to jump on it, and when he jumped on it, ti heard the verse. And then TI was like nah, and then he took his verse off. He took his verse off and then the game replaced it, and so on.
Speaker 3:The album is the game Ludacris, but there are versions that have TI and Ludacris on it, but they're like mixtape. They're like mixtape versions. That reminds me of like I listen to, like people rap sometimes. Two rappers did that, but it was a joke. It was like they were joking. They were joking, yeah, but like they would diss each other Tokyo Vanity and my Skin Kishin the fact that you know who Tokyo Vanity is. It's nuts Boy talk about a name I haven't. Hold on, okay, hold on. We're going to move on to the song of the day. Song of the day is over. If you want to hear a song that's really intense and gives a 2000s vibe, make sure you listen to Young Bucks the Stomp.
Speaker 2:Ludacris TI and all that stuff.
Speaker 3:Tokyo Vanity. Yeah, that's crazy. She's the literally hardest one. Oh no, I like Tokyo Vanity. You know what's actually funny? I played her song not too long ago, the song she had with Plyce called Six Flags. I don't know if you ever heard?
Speaker 2:Have you ever heard that?
Speaker 3:song. No, I've been listening to like her old stuff sometimes. Oh, like you listen to like her like rap stuff, like when she's rapping. Yeah, I got you. You said it was Tokyo Vanity and who.
Speaker 2:Light Skin Keisha.
Speaker 3:Light Skin Keisha that's a name I haven't heard in a while either.
Speaker 2:I got to tell you yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 3:I just played her song too. What was it? Treadmill? I think she had a song called Treadmill.
Speaker 1:AC says she be struggling to breathe too much.
Speaker 3:Who Tokyo Vanity or Light Skin or light-skinned.
Speaker 1:Keisha. I'm assuming Tokyo AC you talking about.
Speaker 3:Tokyo, or you talking about light-skinned Keisha? I don't know. I know light-skinned Keisha is getting a little chubbier. No she not? That is muscle. That's muscle. You better look at her damn TikTok. She is lifting them bitches, oh okay. Oh yeah, he's talking about Tokyo. Wait, is that like a Does?
Speaker 2:she have like asthma or something.
Speaker 3:No, she's fat, but she's done a lot of stuff. Tokyo, yes, tokyo, got fat. Well, no Wait, I gotta see this, because I've already known her for being skinny. Tokyo Vanity oh, I'm thinking of Tokyo Jets Okay, so that makes I'm not going to lie, that makes more sense.
Speaker 1:I was about to say that's what I'm thinking about. She lost weight, though? Okay, no, I've seen.
Speaker 3:Yes, I've seen that. Okay, that's what I'm thinking about. Yeah, my bad.
Speaker 2:Dang Tanaka. Why'd you stop me?
Speaker 1:I didn't know what she was talking about.
Speaker 3:This is the shit, she be be muscle. Okay, that is muscle. Okay, she is in that gym. Shout out to light-skinned Keisha Doing that shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Shout out to light-skinned Keisha doing that shit.
Speaker 1:Why didn't I stop you? I didn't know who you was talking about.
Speaker 3:I don't know, oh you never heard the Six Flags song with her employees. Okay, yeah, okay, then, never mind, then, never mind. Yeah, that's Tokyo Jets. Wait, you Jets is. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I thought, then again, it is a lot of Tokyo's going around. Tokyo Jet, yeah, tokyo Jet, that's when?
Speaker 1:because when you say Tokyo Jet, I mean Tokyo. I just immediately thought of Jets.
Speaker 3:I guess everybody want to go to Tokyo or something yeah, I don't know, tanaka, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, I guess only you can tell us that, but but, yeah, that's the song of the day. Uh, tanaka, what we got for the album today.
Speaker 1:We're going to do Pink Friday Roman Reloaded. Which one is?
Speaker 3:is that the first album?
Speaker 1:The second one Is that the one with Phila and myself. It's called Starships.
Speaker 3:It's called Starships.
Speaker 1:Have you heard of it? Have you heard of that one?
Speaker 3:Yes, I have. Actually, I think I heard it on the radio. I'm not going to lie. People be trying to play Navy Nause. I'm not saying that we should just be up her ass. But let's be real. She be spitting that shit she does. But I ain't gonna lie. She got real hateful in the end of her career. She dropped Bigfoot and I was so confused I don't think I remember Bigfoot.
Speaker 1:I don't even think I remember Bigfoot.
Speaker 3:It was when Nikki dissed Megan that shit, oh yeah, see, yeah, by that point I don't. They said that Megan wasn't even talking about.
Speaker 1:Nicki and his. It's just funny because turn of the yawn emoji what that song is His.
Speaker 3:No, just. Anything I'm not going to lie Is no, no, no just anything, I'm not gonna lie, nicki. Minaj after, like 2018, it's just been like like he just just so hateful, like, why, like, why are you so hateful to the next generation, like you're supposed to be? You're?
Speaker 1:supposed to be the auntie. I can't wait to dope man.
Speaker 3:I kind of feel like she was trying to little girl these new rappers and she couldn't. That was just it, but that's what I'm saying. You should be like the only one that's really like eh, it's like Ice-Fighter. You literally ran the whole 2010s. You should be like Uplifting, not even up. You should be at a point that if somebody does talk about you, people will come to your aid without you having to say anything.
Speaker 1:But you know, rap is all about like what? Have you done for me lately yeah.
Speaker 3:Even still like, for example, like I like Megan, because like people say that like all she raps about is like pussy and shit, but like no one's ever heard like when she actually like talk about shit.
Speaker 2:No, she can actually rap.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she can actually rap, for like talk about.
Speaker 1:No, she could actually rap, yeah, she can actually rap for real now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, maybe she said wait right, hold on she said wait, what are you saying, dude?
Speaker 2:she said I mean, I'll be listening to her freestyles.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she, she, she was doing it?
Speaker 1:yeah, I heard that. Uh, was it the fever mixed up like a fever? Yeah, I don't know the album or whatever album. Album tell you. I don't know what it was, classified project, but that that's probably uh, if we talk about.
Speaker 3:But I need to listen to the creator's new album that's right.
Speaker 1:the album of the day is pink friday when we're loaded. This is the second album from nico minaj. Um, I had bees in the Trap Yep Starships. That was definitely my Stupid Hole, I remember.
Speaker 3:That was such a weird song.
Speaker 2:She said 2012. I'm at the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3:Fuck, you didn't know. Ep, it was called. What?
Speaker 2:I was like, why would you say that that was about Lil' Kim? And if you look at her in the face, yeah, if you squint your eyes and tilt your head that shit.
Speaker 1:So yeah, um this second project.
Speaker 3:I feel like it was straight um check your phone, see if it's still on.
Speaker 1:It had her go more into the pop lane, which, you know, at this point. I wasn't mad at it, you know, because Pink Friday had already hinted at, I guess, the pop. That's the one thing I wish Nicki did. I wish that she had came out the gate with just like a straight hip hop album, like her rapping her ass off. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:It wouldn't have sold why not, though, because this was around the time where mixtapes were popping. So they probably felt like, if she was going to come out with that, you might as well just go ahead and make a mixtape. You're not going to just get all hip-hop, especially not out the gate. I'm saying, though, because, like, like, that's what you want, that's not what the masses want that pop joint.
Speaker 1:I'm saying like I get the pop.
Speaker 3:Shit is what makes the money.
Speaker 1:But I'm saying like you could have been, you could have gotten to that eventually, you know.
Speaker 3:I'm saying like you know, that's not what, sir I don't know, okay, so let me ask me, ask you this who is somebody that started out hip-hop like a good hip-hop career and then went pop and was able to do the pop stuff?
Speaker 1:I'm saying she was such a talented rapper. Though you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I mean, there's a lot of talented rappers.
Speaker 1:But she had that dual like you know what I'm saying, she could sing and all that. So it was just like. It was like damn mother, let's just get, I don't know. I guess that be me or scotty, that's supposed to be, that's supposed to be that you know I'm saying but um, but you know, I don't know man, so what? Because I don't think be me or scotty had all the original beats no, they weren't.
Speaker 3:That was her drought.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying. So it was like we never got like official shit.
Speaker 3:No, you probably not. Oh yeah, that joint is folded, bro. That shit is not. You got to have them right next to each other While you're figuring that out. Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker 1:But I don't know, man. That's why I like that whole queen rep prom and all that.
Speaker 3:I think it goes to her.
Speaker 1:I mean, no, that's what I'm saying. I say it goes to her, but I just feel like it's like who else was challenging her, though, like if we talk every every, I mean in the 2010s.
Speaker 3:There were different people, but like they didn't live up to anything. I remember iggy tried to like, but no one. But but that's what I'm saying though I'm not taking it seriously like now.
Speaker 1:I know you're thinking of like the generation.
Speaker 3:Now, like I'm not taking Iggy Azalea seriously, bro, I don't think of the new girls. That's like successfully like them. Daughter You're thinking of, like the generation. Now, that's what.
Speaker 1:I'm saying In the 2010s.
Speaker 3:I can't think of, but that's what I'm saying. There were people, but nobody lived up.
Speaker 2:Nobody was living up to.
Speaker 3:Nikki in the 2010s?
Speaker 1:I don't care, I kind of forgot. So drop some names, though, off the top of my head. Yeah, off the top 2010s. Who do we have there?
Speaker 3:I'll let you Hold on. I'm going to let you finish the album. I'm going to see if I can look it up Because, like I said, Nikki was so white hot in the 2010s nobody could touch her and it was just kind of irrelevant. Nobody cared. But now it's to the point that she's a little older and some of these there are more relevant female rappers now than it was then, which I feel like. That gate was opened up by the City Girls. After the City Girls, then we got all these plethora of girls that have Cardi came before city girls I feel like, yeah, cardi came before them they did yes, you know what?
Speaker 3:yeah, they did. But I feel like, but I feel like cardi was more gangster, like like cardi wasn't always talking about pussy and all that shit, like I ain't gonna lie that what I call the thot music came through the City Girls, cardi B had thot music when that song came out. Not even I'll Take your man, I'll Take your man.
Speaker 1:Somebody just killed them. Jitterboy just got got Jitterboy down.
Speaker 3:Jitterboy just got somebody, they just killed them. And now Jenner boy, jenner boy down. They gonna smash Jenner boy, jenner boy Saturday. Night Trap here at Night. Slow, we'll figure you out later. Yeah, nah, so that gateway of women was opened up by the city girls, like nobody was really. I mean, there were people probably doing that in the 2010s, but I think it wasn't really like. I think cardi, what? Okay, honestly and truthfully, I think nikki is the only the queen of rap, because she's been doing this for so long, for literally over 10 years
Speaker 3:ask me personally, the only two people that can really like take her crown for real is cardii and Megan, and I wouldn't say that because Cardi only has one album. Now, granted, that album is fucking legendary and every song on that album See, this is probably what you don't know that album. So when albums like certified, they certify like gold, platinum, like just as an overall group of work, that album every song individually went platinum, like individually, like you can take a song out and it's platinum by itself. You take one song out of nikki minaj's this album. Nothing, every single song did something, but I feel like we chucked it up to a different time period.
Speaker 2:Oh no, it probably is a different time period.
Speaker 1:It's still an accomplishment.
Speaker 3:Definitely you have to listen to bars, because Karni got hard bars and I think Nii got hard bars too. But it takes you a second to understand what Niki is saying for real. For real, because she raps for her. She don't rap for everybody else, she raps for. The only person that she raps for is Niki, because there's no kind of like, if you ask me personally, but with Cardi it's like she she be like really spitting, like I don't know what it is about Cardi. I don't know why I like like her so much, but like she be spitting. And on top of that, with Megan. Megan also has very hard bars and she can play on words very well.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:Like don't get me wrong. Again she has a very good rap. You know what's crazy? I don't know.
Speaker 1:So Turn Up let me ask you this Turn Up so if she had came out with a hip hop album, you really don't think it would have sold? No, that's interesting man. No, I don't think it would have. I feel like she was the only hip like female rapper that was, she was the only one.
Speaker 3:But like At that time though and I think it's obvious also because like pop was like really popular, then Well, pop's still popular.
Speaker 1:It's pop.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's still popular, but like at the time, it was really like going, I don't know. That's an interesting debate If we didn't have starship and super base, she probably would have still been a mixtape rapper yeah but she's good though. Well, she's better than good. Amazing, yeah, like sneaky menage to talk about, but I'm not gonna lie. I kind of want her to write a dish track about me, just so I can say that she has something about me. If she be, I'll. I'm like Nikki. Why would you say?
Speaker 1:that she yeah, my Nikki just further leaned into kind of the format that she had in the first album. You know what I'm saying. So the pop got more pop and the hip hop.
Speaker 3:Was your love on that one, or was that on the first one?
Speaker 1:First one, okay, okay, but she did have a track Champion with Nas Drake and G.
Speaker 3:That's probably one of my favorite Nicki songs.
Speaker 1:You know what I'm saying. My favorite, nicki song Because she older.
Speaker 3:That was after this, yeah, 2014.
Speaker 1:This is 2012. Oh no.
Speaker 3:Was Massive Attack? Was Massive Attack 2012 on my trip Devin. Thank you, I appreciate you. I appreciate you, I appreciate you so much.
Speaker 2:Now I can look up. Look up, come on now, she in with that one Tanaka your thoughts Like a jungle.
Speaker 1:That's my album. I appreciate it definitely check out Roman Reloaded you don't like Master of Attack.
Speaker 2:You know what I'm saying shout out, nicky what we got next.
Speaker 1:So what we got next?
Speaker 3:um. So the dj talk is gonna be interesting. It's gonna be brief because after that we're gonna get into the uh, get into the open topic stuff. But so the dj, the dj song, I mean the dj talk conversation is going to be um, from, actually from this uh joint that I had, uh, since y'all so remember, there was a joint where the guy was like uh for his song requests. He's gonna start, um, what he's gonna start doing. Do you remember that?
Speaker 1:uh, tanaka, let me see, yeah, yeah, I don't know bro. Yeah, I know I know Hold on.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to see if I can find it.
Speaker 1:No nothing, I know nothing. Yes, I know, tanaka, you don't know. No nothing, I know nothing. Let's see, here it goes. Let's try that marijuana. Nope, that's not it. I'm starting a new thing. So when?
Speaker 2:it comes to requests. Right now I'm playing Trashman and Sofa. Now some people want 60s. So now my new thing is If you want a request, say it on the mic. If you say it on the mic and the crowd agree. I'll say it.
Speaker 1:But if it gets, a boo.
Speaker 2:Nah, that's an iPod thing, that's gonna be an iPhone phone. Yeah, that's the new thing. If you don't want to play that song, tell them to tell everyone. Tell everyone the song you want to play. And I'm not trying to play no 60s.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm doing anyway.
Speaker 3:So, Tanaka, your thoughts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, I get it, you know, because oftentimes people want to make requests and we're the ones that got to carry the burden. But you know, this kind of eliminates that you know.
Speaker 3:Would that be something that you would do, please? That would be so fucking funny.
Speaker 2:That would be so fucking funny.
Speaker 1:Potentially, yeah, potentially, that's something you would think about doing, be so fucking funny. Potentially, yeah, potentially.
Speaker 3:That's something you would think about doing. I would think about doing that. Yeah For sure, devin. How would you feel if a DJ told you you requested a song and a DJ was like here, as long as you say it on the mic, I would.
Speaker 3:You wouldn't give a fuck, I wouldn't. I got good music. Y'all fuck my playlist. Nah, that's not Taylor Swift and shit, and it's not even the fact that it's specific people. It's just different time calls for different like wrong place, wrong time type deal where we'll be in the slow set and it'll be like, hey, can you play Baby Drill? Or we'll be playing ATL rap music and he'll be like hey, can you play baby drill? Like. Or we'll be playing atl rock music and he's like, hey, can you play tamia, can't get enough of you? Or we'll be doing the wobble dance and it'll be like, hey, can you play fucking? I don't know, I don't know black violin yeah, black violin, yeah, some shit like that.
Speaker 3:So well, here's the thing. Like I don't understand, like and I can understand, like it's like you requesting, like understanding, like the request they're gonna get played right then. And there, like I'll ask for a request, like hey, at slow set, can you play this song right? I feel like that makes more sense right but no, y'all just be just walking up on them.
Speaker 2:I remember one time it's a video of Turn Up. They put Beyonce on.
Speaker 3:I can't wait. I can't wait to hear this?
Speaker 2:They had put Beyonce on their phone to click to the sky. Oh, turn Up don't have a freaking thing.
Speaker 3:Oh, shout out to Calvin, shout out to Calvin. So that was actually staged. But that was staged. It's funny, funny, it's funny, but it's true, it's funny, but it's true because okay. So this is around the time where beyonce's album had came out and calvin was doing it on all the skating rinks and I was like I can't wait for calvin to come to my joint. And this was actually skate-a-thon and I was like I had called ham because that's what I was dj.
Speaker 3:When you shout out dj, ham and I was like I had called Ham because that's who I was DJing with. Shout out to DJ Ham. And I was like, hey, ham, hypothetically, is Calvin going to be at the Hypothetically yeah, hypothetically, hypothetically Like scenario? Just throwing out a quick scenario Would Calvin come to the skate-a-thon, to our session? He was like yeah, I think so. And I was like, hey, ask him about his little Beyonce shit he be doing. Because I got a rebuttal for that, because every time he would do it, the DJs would either ignore him or just start laughing or whatever. And I'd be like, okay, I got something for your ass, I got something, I got something.
Speaker 3:That's not shit, I was like turn up. His face was so serious it was all in good fun, but I just thought it would be funny for us to finally have a rebuttal Because you know everybody loves a rebuttal response, because his joint was going viral too. Like he was just in the middle and then like he would have like a horde of people behind him like with the Do it in two yeah so. Tip the DJ yeah so. And I remember I made it at home, I showed Ham Ham started laughing. It was yeah.
Speaker 2:Bro, I saw that I was like turn up. Why did you do that?
Speaker 3:That was at Skate Along. That was a fun session. Shout out to Skate Along. But no, just like. And also I feel like if you can have fun with the DJ you'll be perfectly okay, no matter what session matter like what session it is, like it can be any session. Like if they see you, like I can see, if they see you, they're going to make sure that, like you got Joneses that you're going to want to listen to, exactly Because there's been a couple of times where I've been standing on a Monday Turner was just randomly DJing up there and then he saw nobody else was here so I was like he was just he got me Same thing with Tanaka.
Speaker 3:It's just, you just got to like, be respectful, you know, look, and there do be times like that where so for people that don't know and I feel like we've had this conversation on this podcast before but what most I won't say all DJs, but what most DJs do is if they hear a request, they're not going to just immediately bag it because it just may not be the right time. But at the same time, if you're a reoccurring customer that always comes back and you're not as naggy about the song request, they'll see that you're there and they'll be like oh, when you're to play, oh, you know what, I could probably play it right now just to get a reaction. For example, he probably doesn't remember asking for this song, but I know if I'm in Jamscape and I see Devin, I'll play Baby Boo by Money Long. And who was it? Somebody else, I don't remember, but I know he likes that song, so I'll play the song.
Speaker 3:I think that song, so I'll play the song. I think it was city girls. Was city girls, I don't know. I played that song for so long, but yeah, so like just a little shit, like that, like no, it wasn't sweet, wasn't?
Speaker 3:sweet I think so. I just remember it was. I just remember it was an up-tempo jams gate ish song. That's the only thing I remember about the song, because I feel like that's like her only up-tempo song girl money law be going through it who broke your girl.
Speaker 2:Right? Who broke your heart? Give it up. Who was it?
Speaker 1:Sweetie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I just remember it was another girl rapper. Anytime I think of Baby Boo, I think of Jitterbug, because I remember he fucking with that song. I still play it to this day. Yeah, like I said just a brief DJ talk, that song, but, um, I still play to this day. Yeah, but yeah, so, um, that was, you know, like I said, just brief dj talk, um, so this is gonna be the last one. Then we're gonna wrap this up. Yeah, shout out to that too. Um, what was I about to say?
Speaker 3:oh so this is gonna be the last topic. Then we're gonna um, do the um, we're gonna do the scheduling and then we're gonna wrap this up. So, devin, what we usually do, um, when we have a guest on the show, is we have a segment called open topic, where this is time for you. If you want to, you don't have to. If you want to, that you could talk about whatever you want to talk about, whether it be good, bad, indifferent, controversial, not controversial. There's something you want to talk about. Get off your chest. Get off your chest.
Speaker 1:This is your time. You want to discuss it with TNT?
Speaker 3:Right here, Let it rip TNT.
Speaker 1:Let it rip.
Speaker 3:Is there anything you want to talk about, let's talk about it. Anything, let me think Hold on, I don't want to be messy. Do I want to be messy? Do I want to? Whatever you want to do, I don't know, and this is like I said this, this is not you, don't? We're not forcing you to do it. If you want to do it, are you all right, I'm gonna do it, okay, well, um.
Speaker 3:Okay, so many questions. It doesn't have to be a question, it can be whatever you want. I have this thing where it's like I'll be skating and then I don't know, but really maybe you bother me. People will really expect things Be like everybody else, like there's no real like diversity in this community and like that's what leads into like people, like fighting and like doing all that extra shit for no reason, being messy, whatever the case may be Like or just wanting to be like somebody else. Right, like I'm not going to lie, I kind be like or just want to be like somebody else. Right, I'm not gonna lie. I gotta feel like the green team, like be trying to like, be like other people. So let me ask you this when you say the green team because I'm not gonna lie, there are a lot of you've been gone for a while, ever okay, so because there are a lot of green teams now. So I don't know it.
Speaker 3:You can talk my sideways and we don't know but, okay but, okay, it's like diverse going like gonna be there. I'm not finna, sit up here and be like they just straight up can't escape, but they be getting like. They be looking like everybody else, like there's no, like the only people that I'll give it to, even though like.
Speaker 1:So basically you feel like they don't have an identity.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Like the only people I'll really give it to is Ali and Taylor. Well, I'll say this, and I don't know if it's because you've been gone for a while. However, I can see some quote-unquote diversity.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I haven't gone.
Speaker 3:Maybe I got a Diversity, and I understand, because at first they were kind of just taking a little bit of skate mafia and trying to find an image and find a way into the skate world. However, I'm not even. That's why I don't do skate groups, because if I'm going to be anybody, I'm going to be me. I'll fuck with skate mafia because at the like, if I'm going to be anybody, I'm going to be me and like, I'll fuck with Skate Mafia Because at the end of the day they do their own stuff outside of Skate Mafia.
Speaker 2:So you know like well no, okay, well, hold on, devin. Some are better than others.
Speaker 3:Well, no, no, no, not even that, because I mean and you probably don't notice it or you probably didn't notice it because you were so new in the skateboard at the time but, honestly and truthfully, skate mafia was doing the same thing that diverse was doing. That skate mafia was taking a little bit what they were seeing on and it may have been the internet or the people that were just there, taking a little bit and putting it into their, putting it put into their style, just like how you were seeing, but at the time, you probably didn't know that because you were so new and all that stuff. However, I will say this about Diverse just specifically. I will say they are definitely not a lot different, but at the end of the day, I kind of feel like how Devin feels. I feel like everybody doing the same goddamn shit, yeah.
Speaker 3:However, I will say this though they do have a different side of. They do have like a different, like side of diverse that most people don't know about, where it's like the girls they have like it's like they have like their own girl team. Do you know the name of their team? Oh yeah, v, it's like v something. Do you know the lady b's, lady v's, lady v's, where they're like just they don't do step, they do like slow walk oh yeah oh, oh, lady, okay, okay, where they're like, just they don't do step, they do like slow walk.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, oh, oh lady, Okay, okay, Now they're like lady, that's different, I fuck with that.
Speaker 3:For y'all to have, for y'all to be a team and then like y'all have like a girl team and a boy team, I fuck with that, I fuck with that. Well, it's like anybody that wants to slow up and anybody wants to step, and I guess they have. And I did talk to I forgot what his name is, but I guess he's like the person trying to put everything together. Where he said he is trying to make it diverse, where he's like having different people do different things. Where he said he is trying to get like people, that jb too, he's trying to get like a jb group and then he's trying to get, uh, something else group and then something else. So I don't know, it's um, it's a little okay, like here's the thing I have been.
Speaker 3:I have been out of the scene, yeah. So I don't too much know what's like, what's really going on now, but just off of like what you've observed, yeah, just off of what I've observed, like from the last time I was here up until now, like it just looks like everybody's like wanting to do the same thing. For example, everybody ATL rides, flathead, atl rides. Don't get me wrong, atl riding is cool, but everybody got to do it, not even everybody, specifically girls, ladies, y'all don't want to pick that back foot up a little bit. Y'all is going to be just flat foot, just whole section, just whole section. I mean, look, that's a reminder, man.
Speaker 1:December 27th, GCo Diverse is throwing the battle of sparkles.
Speaker 3:Oh are they? So that way nobody Can call me a hater, cause I'm gonna be real, I'm gonna be real, let's be real, let's talk about it, shout out to them For, like, actually, booking events, I will say that I'm gonna give props To the props to do they do be booking events and like the fact that y'all Can do that obviously y'all aren't going somewhere, right? So like maybe I'm just tripping now, just I just see what I see right, I'm gonna say, I'll allow somebody to say I think right, but period.
Speaker 2:Honestly, did you put all that inside?
Speaker 1:I will be your stomach and ask you to do something like that right, that's cool as well, so shout out to y'all well, yeah, they made that happen because, uh, what's it they said last year at GCO? They was like, yeah, we admit. You know what I'm saying. They bust our ass in the step battle. You know what I'm saying? I mean they just got started.
Speaker 3:I just love how folks get kind of good with something and then they just expect for them to just knock it out the park.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so they're like. So now we're going to make this thing Battle sparkles, December GCO, and we're going to see who the best team is.
Speaker 3:And, honestly and truthfully, I really Okay. Well, no, let me not say that, because I do see Skate Mafia, but I feel like I see Diverse more than Skate Mafia nowadays. I feel like Skate see mafia got banned. That's what, oh, yeah, true, true what they get bad for. Um, no, I don't think all of them got banned, but it's like I think I think recent brandon or something. Reese brandon, is mason banned because I feel like I don't see him either. He is, I think so I don't know a lot of them.
Speaker 3:There's a lot of them that got banned. The people I see is Lele Lele, lejay, aj and Zai. I feel like there are some other people that I'm missing. I may not know their names. I feel like, as a whole, I see Diverse more. I feel like Diverse goes like to other skating rinks more so. Um, skate mafia doesn't really like as a whole like I'll see zion lele at cascade or I'll see lele at skate town, like by herself, um, but as a whole, I really don't see them really doing anything. Diverse seems like they're, I don't know, more into doing so that's so I just oh, I'm so sorry, no, dude, take your time. Like I said, I ain't got to do till well ever. Actually, I can show them whenever I want to, so I'm chilling.
Speaker 1:So knock, I didn, I didn't get to ask how you doing man. You alright Tired man. I'm saying tired bro, a little tired, but it's easy. A little tired, it's going to be a long, long night.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, marquee's going out. We'll talk about that schedule, was that it? Is there anything else you want to talk about?
Speaker 1:Jitterbug. What did you grow up listening to, man? What type of music you was. You was great at songwriting. You know what I'm saying.
