    19. AB

      All the entertainment you give me.

    20. JR

      How did you, uh, s- decide to start doing this? How did you ... First of all, were you always this funny?

    21. AB

      (laughs) I would like to think so. (laughs)

    22. JR

      (laughs) But, like, your social media presence, like ... I forget who. I think Tony Hinchcliffe told me about you.

    23. AB

      Yeah.

    24. JR

      He's like, "Dude, you have to follow Antonio Brown."

    25. AB

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      "You must fo- He's the most must follow on the internet." I'm like, "Really?" And then I go to your page, and I'm fucking dying laughing.

    27. AB

      (laughs)

    28. JR

      We're sharing it around the green room at the comedy store like, "Ah!" And then when I won cracker of the day, I was like, "Yes!"

    29. AB

      Yes. (laughs) Of the year.

    30. JR

      Yes. Cracker of the year, that's right.

  2. 15:0030:00

    (laughs) …

    1. AB

      video. So, as soon as I walked off the field, they released the music. Uh, I ended up linking with Kanye West right after.

    2. JR

      (laughs)

    3. AB

      (laughs) After that, I was doing Rolling Loud. After that ... You know what I'm saying? So, for me, I was grateful, you know, as soon as I walked off the field. Music song dropped-

    4. JR

      How'd you link up with Kanye?

    5. AB

      Man, he was looking for me right when I walked off the field.

    6. JR

      Really?

    7. AB

      Yeah. They was calling me, uh, Justin Laboy, like, uh, calling me in New York, like, "Yo, Kanye wanna meet you." I ended up flying to LA with, uh ... to meet, uh, Rich with Fashion Nova. And, uh, we met right in Craig's, randomly in Craig's, but he was looking for me in LA, and after that, ended up hanging with him, making his album, Donda 2, and then-

    8. JR

      Wow.

    9. AB

      ... just getting opportunities, so ...

    10. JR

      That's crazy.

    11. AB

      I've been blessed to be able to have that happen for me, you know, coming off the field.

    12. JR

      What is it like working with Kanye? 'Cause I can imagine that motherfucker's-

    13. AB

      Kanye, a lot of energy, genius-

    14. JR

      ... driven.

    15. AB

      ... uh, meetings at eight o'clock. All the music engi-

    16. JR

      8:00 AM or 8:00 PM?

    17. AB

      8:00 AM.

    18. JR

      Really?

    19. AB

      Every day, yeah.

    20. JR

      Really?

    21. AB

      All the engineers there, uh, everyone on the team, uh-

    22. JR

      That's unusual. Rappers at 8:00 AM?

    23. AB

      Nah, ye- ... Kanye is really a, a business guy who put in a lot of work. I know a lot of people see his rants and him going off, but he's really passionate about his work and, uh ...

    24. JR

      He's a genius.

    25. AB

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      He's just scattered.

    27. AB

      Literally, literally.

    28. JR

      He's all over the place. And sometimes he goes a little off, a little ou- out- off the reservation, but-

    29. AB

      I feel like he think in a lot of forms that-

    30. JR

      Yes.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Porn only kind of…

    1. NA

      I don't... No, I'm not making any accusations.

    2. JR

      Porn only kind of exposed it.

    3. NA

      It's all, it's fu- it all, it's over.

    4. JR

      'Cause Pornhub was the only one that was looking at it going, "Am I going to jail?"

    5. AB

      Yeah, you gotta be careful.

    6. JR

      Like, "Is this, is this legal?"

    7. AB

      Yeah, I feel like you shou- I was thinking about launching a coin myself that's really legit, that you don't own, you, you don't sell it, you don't rip it. That way if it tank, they make they money. I feel like you could go to focus.xyz@ab and check it out.

    8. JR

      Is that yours?

    9. AB

      Yeah.

    10. JR

      Okay, so, um, so you promise not to pump and dump?

    11. AB

      Yeah, no pump and dump. It's an unruggable. Like, nobody could pump and dump it.

    12. JR

      Oh, you can't pull the rug out?

    13. AB

      Yeah, you can't pull the rug out, so that way-

    14. JR

      Really?

    15. AB

      ... it just stays grows, 'cause that's why I feel like that's why people get in trouble with all these coins, just pumping, dumping.

    16. JR

      Right.

    17. AB

      People don't wanna be scammed or fucked over or manipulated.

    18. JR

      Exactly.

    19. AB

      So I feel like you gotta have, for me, to make more coin, I feel like we gotta make one that won't sell or tank.

    20. JR

      Yeah.

    21. AB

      An unguardable one that you could...... focus on. I think I'm gonna put it out now. It's on focus.xyz/ab, if you wanna check it out.

    22. JR

      There was, um, this one coin that Khamzat Chimaev, the UFC fighter, released. That was, uh, they, they were claiming that he did a pump and dump. And they was like, "You ripped off your fans." I'm like, "Man-"

    23. AB

      Yeah, you can't rip off your fans.

    24. JR

      You can't rip off your fans, obviously.

    25. AB

      Yeah.

    26. JR

      But also, I don't know if the people that are buying those coins are fans. I think they're gamblers. I think those people are just gamblers, and they're just trying to figure out, "Okay, if I buy in now," and-

    27. AB

      Yeah.

    28. JR

      ... you know, they're fucking-

    29. AB

      (laughs) Gotta make money.

    30. JR

      They probably got, like, their finger over the sell button, waiting for it to get to a certain number, like, "Go!"

  4. 45:001:00:00

    You off the grid?…

    1. JR

      is he up to?

    2. AB

      You off the grid?

    3. JR

      He's off the grid. What is this motherfucker ... What is he doing?

    4. AB

      (laughs) What the hell's going on?

    5. JR

      Yeah. Man, kids today, they don't have any fucking privacy.

    6. AB

      Nah, not everything is exposed.

    7. JR

      Everything's exposed.

    8. AB

      Yeah.

    9. JR

      What year were you born?

    10. AB

      '88. 1988.

    11. JR

      Okay. So by the time you were 20 years old, phones were just starting to arrive, right?

    12. AB

      Yeah. Almost popping.

    13. JR

      Like 98-ish.

    14. AB

      Yeah, the Sidekick.

    15. JR

      Kind of every... Right.

    16. AB

      Flip phones.

    17. JR

      Sidekicks.

    18. AB

      NexTel.

    19. JR

      Remember the Sidekick?

    20. AB

      Yeah, flip it over.

    21. JR

      Everybody s- ... I was so jealous. Like, "Wow, you got a keyboard?"

    22. AB

      You need that. Yeah, it was amazing.

    23. JR

      "That's crazy. You got a little keyboard."

    24. AB

      That was fire.

    25. JR

      And then people's Sidekicks were getting hacked. Remember Paris Hilton? Some pussy photos got out, I believe.

    26. AB

      Yeah. (laughs) I remember that. (laughs)

    27. JR

      (laughs)

    28. AB

      She had designer vagina.

    29. JR

      (laughs)

    30. AB

      (laughs)

  5. 1:00:001:03:20

    Get, not getting sleep.…

    1. AB

      you messing with girls, and-

    2. JR

      Get, not getting sleep.

    3. AB

      Yeah.

    4. JR

      Yeah.

    5. AB

      Not getting sleep.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. AB

      Not eating the right foods.

    8. JR

      Eating bad food. Right.

    9. AB

      Exactly.

    10. JR

      Yep. Yep.

    11. AB

      Not, not making it work out and hitting those ... (bell dings)

    12. JR

      Yep.

    13. AB

      Yeah. Studying that film. Discipline the most important.

    14. JR

      It's so important for everything in life.

    15. AB

      Yeah.

    16. JR

      So, like, to think that The Secret is the only thing, you just have to-

    17. AB

      No, no.

    18. JR

      ... think around and visualize it, like, uh-uh.

    19. AB

      Yeah. It's not the only thing.

    20. JR

      No. It's, it's an aspect that I think is real.

    21. AB

      Yeah.

    22. JR

      But the problem is people put so much emphasis on it that it becomes bullshit. It becomes like woo-woo. They, th- they don't-

    23. AB

      Exactly.

    24. JR

      ... think it's real. But it is, it is-

    25. AB

      It's annoying.

    26. JR

      ... an aspect. You know, Mike Tyson used to get hypnotized.

    27. AB

      Gotta hypnotize yourself. I feel like it just make your vision a part of your spirit.

    28. JR

      Hmm.

    29. AB

      Anytime you, you know, 'cause I feel like you could write stuff down, write aco- af- affirmations, affirmations.

    30. JR

      Mm-hmm.
