I remember that. 187 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:46.559 I remember that. 188 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:49.519 But he got what he deserved that night. He got 189 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.679 whatever he deserved that night. 190 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.200 Real quick, before I before I get more into this 191 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.320 Hillary stuff, right quick? So why did you turn on 192 00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.879 I forgot his name, just said this on Quartermack. 193 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:04.159 Yeah, que mac. 194 00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.519 Man. You know it's crazy. You're not the first person 195 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.639 that asked me why. A lot of people ask me 196 00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.080 why that turned on Corey Mack. Well you want the answer, 197 00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.000 I got you. So it's the first time here. The 198 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.600 reason why I turned on Corey Mack that night is 199 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.120 because I felt like he was holding me back throughout 200 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:25.799 the years. 201 00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:27.039 I felt like. 202 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.120 He was trying to put me as is Batman, Robin 203 00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.399 his psydechic almost and Hilly never saw me as a psydekic. 204 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.759 Hilly saw me as an equal. Okay, right, I did 205 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:42.720 what most people who should have done, turning your friends, 206 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.799 and that's exactly what I did because I felt like 207 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:50.320 that night on April twenty twenty two, that Hillary saw 208 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.639 me as an equal. Whatever we talked behind closed doors, 209 00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:56.120 I'm not gonna say here, but he told me something 210 00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.360 very valuable that night. He told me that to be 211 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.159 your own equal, you have to get rid of the 212 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:06.120 dead weight anyway. So I get rid of the dead weight, 213 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:09.840 and I joined Hillary. That's who became the Philosophy Club. 214 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.519 And now I'm my own man. Now I'm a man. 215 00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:15.480 I gotta say I'm a little bit shocked to hair 216 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:19.080 love this because like, look at you, You're you're clearly 217 00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:25.919 a baby face. You was saying, yeah, crazy. 218 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.240 Most people have told me that I have a babyface 219 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.799 mannerism and a baby face as a as a person. 220 00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.240 I never I don't give off this bad guy healish 221 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.120 way because they always tell me, oh, you should grow 222 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:42.039 facial hair. I don't. I don't do I don't do 223 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:44.759 facial So when you always say, oh, you do so 224 00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.200 good as being a bad guy, I'm a baby face 225 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:54.120 like this, what you give on when I give up? Yeah? Nothing, 226 00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:57.159 nothing that gives bad guy just straight like charming, dude. 227 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.720 I'm breaking mother's heart. Don't do that. 228 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:06.159 No, Yeah, okay, cool, cool, back by so bad. So 229 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:12.480 back to our initial conversation point. So that that that night, 230 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.679 right that match you had right. 231 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.600 Oh, by the way, I pulled up here while you 232 00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:17.919 were talking, because where I do I do press? 233 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.480 I do, like you know, a blog for my website, 234 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:25.559 my platforms radio.
