Chapter 3: What are the challenges discussed regarding the WNBA?
Cause you know, at the end of the day, you go through this career, you realize nobody really cares. Nobody cares. Nobody's really listening. No, nobody's really important. No, it's a beautiful thing to kind of just, I'm 39 years old now. And it's kind of nice to be, uh, it's kind of nice to have given up, but also I'm working hard, but I've also given up.
So now it's like, dude, that's an interesting space to be in reality. I'm right here, bro. I'm I've given up gracefully, but I'm still in the game. I'm still I got my whole family, but I don't care at all about anything at all anymore. Bomb them. Don't bomb them. Who would kill whoever you want? I don't give a shit. Let's just get through the day. I put my kids down.

You know, people get all bent out of shape with every issue. I don't care what's going on in Australia. My brain hasn't been, we're too connected here.

Good time over there. Show, shout out to people. They don't care either.
They're living a different life in the UK. They do not get bent out of shape like we get bent. All the mistakes we make here as a society, they made that 200 years ago. They're like, we still got problems, but we're not... not everything is about being like so rich and famous and the most money. It's not like that over there. They're just like, Hey, like put in a good day's work. I respect it.
They destroyed the entire world. And now they just keep to themselves on that little Island. You got to give it up for European white people. I mean, they are, I mean, dude, think about how small England was. They took over India, Julian, your people. I mean, fucking subjugated. Like you can't imagine, dude, a little group of people took over. You have a continent.

Chapter 5: What happens when a friend refuses to help with housing?
I'm like, yo, brother, I need somewhere to stay and shit, right? And he's like, I'm going to think about it. And then he hung up on me. So I texted him. I'm like, yo, brother, please let me know before. He gave you an answer, sir. I have to start applying to spots, you know, start wasting money and shit. Hasn't responded, right? And, like, now, you know what I'm saying?
Like, I kind of want to cut him off for real because, like, you know, we supposed to be brothers. You know what I'm saying?
Chapter 6: How do personal experiences shape views on friendships?
He calls me his brother, says he loves me and shit. And it's like, we be brothers, you know what I'm saying? You'd rather have me out on the street? Yeah. Let me know what y'all think. He said, we're supposed to be brothers. He said, you love me and shit. But what you're paying for Patreon is hilarious. He's not telling us the full story.
How does a friend go from, you can stay here, and then once you're staying there, say, nah, you can't stay.
Go figure it out yourself.
Yeah, he's doing something. He did something disgusting. He's fucking up the apartment or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because you wouldn't just cut your boy off. His actual brother is his boy. I think it's a brother in the black.
Close friends.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, yeah, bro. I mean. He definitely got caught beating off or something in the house. Something, bro. And then why is the new spot telling him he has to leave? That's why. Yeah. He's in a new spot and they're telling him the same thing. Like, yo, you got like... Well, I think that was a temporary lease thing.
He was like, okay, I'll go here for like a month or two until I'm allowed to be back in your spot. Yeah, bro, my advice is stop doing whatever it is you're not telling us you're doing. Whatever that thing that you... You're leaving out a key piece of information so you know what that is. And if you just stop doing that, I mean, bro, how do you get turned away from two places? Yeah.
Well, anyone that tells a 15 second story in a minute 30 is full of shit. Like... He could have told that from day A. I'm on my ass. My friend won't let me stay.

Yes, that's the reason why you're not getting the apartment, buddy. Figure out what the third is. Yeah, and then come up with your third of the rent. Yeah, seriously. Exactly.
Come up with your third, because that's what it sounds like. It sounds like he's not paying that rent. Yes. You know what I mean? Well, maybe he's nasty. I don't know what he could be doing.

You got a bunch of shit in there, but the landlord doesn't give a fuck as long as you're paying your rent.

So then I was stuck with a 12 month lease that I could not get out of.
So I had two apartments, but I was like in a happy, loving relationship. But then I had just had this other apartment. So I found a comic to sublet it illegally for like three months, but then he moved to LA. So I had to pay eight months of like a luxury dope apartment. Yeah. For no reason at all. Like I completely wasted the money just because I thought, and, and this was also stupid.
This was the first year I ever made money where I wasn't, I did not understand that taxes are a real thing. So I thought you gave me a check for, you know, 20 grand, whatever. I got 20 grand. It's like, no, no, no, no. So then it got to the point where I didn't have enough money in my bank account to pay the taxes. Yeah.
So I had to get file extension after extension and I'm paying this apartment. So I was like getting recognized, like in the streets, selling tickets, not having like literally like negative money.
