Something like, Sovereign over yourself. It's probably the sloth. Do you wash your own clothes?

like they don't shrink.
You know me? Yeah. No, I have to wash my own
clothes.
I just have to deal with them shrinking. I just don't want my shirts and like, certain things that I like jeans to be ruined and stuff. Yeah, when I have a lot of money, I'll probably do that too. You have to have a lot of money to dry clean. It's not expensive.
Go ask anybody without a lot of money. If dry cleanings expensive, you're going to have a lot of money real soon so I hope so. Why do you think so?
I think you have a bright future, did you? Yeah. How much are you? Because you're going to give me money or because I'm just Rogers, honey, I just think like,

Take. He doesn't like the food, they brought him. Why don't you try here, he wants that juice. I'm telling you, everybody loves juice. Why didn't you take the carrot when I tried to hand it to you?
I want to see what happens when you shoot it. First, you didn't even like, acknowledge that. I tried to hand it to you, though. That was kind of rude.
Do you want me to try to feed him next? Yeah. Will you try because he's not actually listening to me? Can you maybe he doesn't want to carry? Maybe he wants to try something else fun corner. I something else candy or some you do that, then offer him something better.
See, let's just see if he wants this.
Okay, I don't know what
he's accepting your offer. Maybe what is
this like a potato?
All right, I'll give it to you. I think he wants you to hold it. The rest of the
time. It's kind of frog. Okay. Well
are we talking about? I don't know. You like to talk about money a lot. Yeah, don't make me feel like weird about that. No, I'm not. Yeah, I'm sure before you had money. You also thought about money a lot.

makes life easier.
He obviously doesn't want this food anymore.
They need better snacks for him.
Goodbye.
What's that? Oh yeah.
Are you gonna do that right now? Can I it's really hot. Are you going to hold a fan? You're going to hold the
fan?
Thank you. That's good. Right? I'm good.

That's the type of people we are here.
It's really hot.
Thank you. I can you stop doing that now.
It's cool down.
Does that do anything?
I feel like you just went right back to whatever temperature you
are,
I don't know, just like it did my stop the audio of my podcast so you could clear self down for two seconds. It's really hot.
Like
you can sit and discomfort for a little bit of time. I know you don't have to do that a lot, but maybe it maybe for a second. I'm here for
you.
I just know like any minute this laugh is going to try to like grab my shoulder or something.
But will make headlines.
No, I don't want to be attacked by a sloth.
It might make you money and you maybe can buy a private plane.
How to be nice.
You're going to make a lot of money though. I know. I gotta see it for you, you know? Yeah. Me too. It's gonna be good. Yeah.
Are you a nice person? Am I nice person? Yeah. Yeah. Can't be for sure. Yeah. Definitely.
I can't tell when you were texting me if you were nicer not a good text her. Okay, really. I'm not like
It just depends, you know? Yeah, I was like, I don't know if he's gonna be nice or mean,
I still can't tell, but
I'm pretty very like, reserve intuitive. So I'm like,
you want to keep messing up the audio and do that again. Maybe next time you could hold it closer to the microphone. So that it's just that's all it picks up.
But now it can't hear you, I wasn't
talking.
Type of girls are attracted to. Let's have a girls. Yeah, difficult friend wife.
Husband your husband girlfriend. No it's complicated. But what type of girls I'm attracted to definitely like somebody that's like down to earth. I like
Attracted to beauty, of course
you know somebody that gives me like Peace of Mind. Somebody that's like real chill.
But like a little bit of crazy, a little bit of crazy, just a little bit, like like what type of crazy like, if you don't text her back, she might not like crazy crazy but just like, you know, somebody like the still gonna like bring excitement but not, but not be like to OD, you know. Yeah. To what Odie.

High standards. Yeah. Yes. The day anyone they have to be famous, don't have to be famous, I've ever dated someone that wasn't famous. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Both.
Huh. Yeah, yeah.
Would you put a picture of my face on your next album and know why it's weird?
I didn't think you'd say no that fast. I thought you would like nicely. Say it. Maybe like you'd be like
oh
well I would have to ask Maybe by team if that was. OK. You could have said that nicer though. There was definitely the more gentle way of saying that I really
Maybe
like, no.
We like what. Huh what what's so funny? This is so hot. Okay. Well thank you so much for this interview. I'll let you ask me a few more questions and then we can go. How old are you? I'm 25.
And you grew up in Corona. It's high school college and Corona, and I go to college just High School Corona. I was too stupid to go to college. I didn't go to college. Were you too stupid or you just didn't want to go? No, I just, could you get into college?
Could I get in a car? Yeah, with your grades. I'm pretty sure if I wanted to. I couldn't. If I like apply myself but I was already doing music. I didn't, are you had was signed. When I was like 17,
I wasn't doing anything before this podcast. I was not really doing anything with my career. This is good. Yeah. You feel like now it's like you feel like you have more purpose now. Yeah, I definitely have more purpose. I feel really good about my God. I think that's what it's about, not so much about the money because the money comes, right? But if you feel like you have like purpose and you're applying yourself and yeah, I had no purpose like a week ago but we could go. Why don't we go? That's good because things like some
Sometimes things just fall in line, you know, it's all about timing.
Yeah, I haven't heard these parakeets say one thing like the whole interview. Don't they usually like talk if you like that one just did over there said hello.
There you go. He said it for you. Did you hear that?
Because you wanted to do this in a zoo, I'm probably going to get come home with so many bites on me. It's a lot of fun. Maybe you should think about that. The next time someone's like oh let me interview you and you're like we do it as it. Well you wanted to do it at a zoo. No. Yeah. You like that. Like this might sound crazy. But what about a zoo and I was like, I said, uh, Zoo question mark, don't add words huh? I said has a, you said, where should we do it? I said a zoo question mark. You said that you wanted to do it at a
cool place?
Yeah, but it was your idea and I'll actually do you want to know whose idea it was Drake's? Yeah, interview. Take out a zoo. No, he said, I said, where is a place? I should do it. And he said, his, ooh, I was like, that's crazy. I don't know. Some random and his awkward, but I guess we don't call it awkward. We're here.
Don't call it awkward. Why? You can cut that part. Okay, just say like something nice about it like, oh, it's we're here. We're here. Yeah.
I feel like when you learn to feel like, when you look at people like looking at them, hmm. It's like give them a signal, like you're trying to end this conversation? No, I'm just like looking for like
I'm just looking for like, engage me or just like, you know, it's just like energy supposed to pretend they're not there. You shouldn't be trying to engage with them. I don't know. Nobody told me prior but you shouldn't look at them. Please stop doing that. I could try Miss heck natural. This is like no look at your home. He's like you know, like I haven't looked at my friend one time, why not? Because she's always checking on your homies. Like not during the middle of an interview. You don't think so?
Am I annoying you? Cause I keep looking back and forth. Just feels like you're trying to signal that you want this to be
over. I'm just
You seem really afraid of everything. I'm not. Are you tough? Would you describe yourself as tough? No, I'm not tough. I'm just me.
What type of car do you
drive?
Right now, drove a Maybach here. Thought, let me back. Yeah, looks like a Mercedes. Like I extended version of I'm like did you drive it? Or you have a driver not my system drove.
Did you pay her to drive you here? Pretty him?
Hmm. What is part of like the job description? I feel like right to drive you places. I've I mean, you know, it's just like whatever to get the job done. You know, do you have an assistant? No.
One day you're probably get one. Probably soon one.
I say like
it's in a month. Wow. Yeah you're going to need an assistant. Okay. Do you want to be my assistant? Know why? Because I'm not a assistant.
I don't think I'd be a good assistant. I think you good. I can, like, maybe I can be like a good adviser, but you could be a good assistant. I don't think so. Anyone can do whatever they want. Sure. Do you want to be an assistant, why? That's why I won't be on to be an assistant, but you'll be mine if I text you tomorrow and I'm like, hey, can you have someone come pick up my dry cleaning? What will you say back? Yeah, probably wouldn't text you back and so like,
a day later and be like,
Yo what's up? That's not I'm going to do that. I was just I was just like ignore the text and just like say something else but I say hey it's really important. Can you please feed my dog? What are you going to do?
I just feel like
he's going to let it die because I know you're my dogs at home right now and it doesn't have any food. I just text you and I said hey can you please some people don't even be serious. I know I'm going to be so serious. I'm Gonna Leave gamma to leave my kids at home.

No, you get the water. You're my
assistant.

There's a lot of people who get percentages that doesn't make them your manager.
Hmm. True. Yeah.
