Oh, man, we got Julie on the line from Texas.
How you spell it?
J-U -- J-U-L-I-E.
-Julie. -Julie.
Hey, Julie!
Hi, Julie!
Click her in.
[ Dial tone ]
This is Julie.
How -- How may we serve you today?
Well, I've worked for a company
for 13 years
that's pretty cushy.
I've always wanted to be
a photographer
and just go live in a van,
go follow an artist,
and I don't know if I should leave or not.
I-I got the perfect answer.
Oh, do you?
Yeah. Is
working there
draining you of your energy,
of your creative energy?
Yes.
Then what's the hold-up?
You know, we got -- We got benefits, like...
Okay.
Well, I'mma tell you this,
then I'm gonna ask you a question.
16 years ago, when music
was uncertain in my life,
when it was just a dream,
I coulda went and been an engineer at a plant.
And I coulda got great benefits.
But every day, I
would have worked that job,
and I would have died on the inside,
knowing that I was
going opposite direction
than my heart was telling me to go in.
So, I ask you this question.
Are those meager
benefits worth
you living the rest of your life
wondering what could have happened
if only you would have tried?
I also kind of have this other part of,
"Maybe this is a dream, too,"
and then I'm -- I'm
dreaming of stability.
Mami,
I'mma be honest with you.
Yes?
If it was easy, everybody would do it.
The scariest thing on Earth
is following your dream.
Yeah, no, no,
I appreciate that.
And it's something to think about.
Oh, I know something, Julie.
I know something.
What's up?
For you to be at this crossroad
right now in your life,
you know what that means?
Hmm?
You're on the right path.
Definitely!
When things stop making sense,
that means that you're on the right path.
Definitely!
You know what?
I would walk away from it.
I-I mean, I should walk away from it.
You just gotta know that
you on the right path.
Yes, 100%. Thank you so much.
Alright, baby.
Thank you, Julie.
[ Receiver clicks ]
Julie done reached that
crossroad in her life.
-You know -- -Yeah, you gotta
make it happen.
-That's the thing. -One thing I learned --
Until you take a chance,
you never had a -- you
never had a chance.
Yeah.
I like this.
I feel like Dr. Phil...in the hood.

While we doing this, for the rest of my --
I ain't having no sex.
For real. Sex mutation.
I'mma just translate all that energy
into my craft.
I practice sacred masculinity.
My semen is too powerful,
too great of a life force
than to be shootin' it on a sheet
or shootin' it in a sock or...
My life force.
It's so strong, it has the power
to create a life.
Why waste it?
Alright, who next on the line?
Let me go through my Rolodex

Oh, man, we got Melvin.
Melvin from New York, man.
Let's see what he talking about.

Alright.
[ Dial tone ]
Melvin, what's happening?
You on the phone with Kevin Gates
and OG Boobie Black.
What's going on, man? How you doing?
-Oh, -Oh, man,
- I'm well. -everything Gucci.
Just wanted to talk
to you real quick 'cause,
you know, over the past year,
we lost two icons, really,
and two people that were
super important to me,
and both being Kobe and Nipsey,
and it hit really hard.
Do you have any advice
on how to deal with grief?
After my grandmother passed,
it really -- it scarred me.
I hated to talk about it.
I was doing a lot of drugs
because I harbored so much grief.
Now I look at it
from a different perspective.
I know that
my grandmother's proud of me
because I didn't faint in the face of adversity.
I overcame every trial and tribulation
that was placed in front of me.
And Boobie did, also.
I mean, when you look at Earth, this
is just a testing ground.
This is just
a test to see who your true character is.
Yeah.
I ain't never used
to go to funerals
because I didn't used to want
to see a --
see a person, like, in the casket.
So I always
try to remember those people
at the last time that I seen them
or the last time I talked to them.
You know what I'm saying?
So as you should with Kobe.
You know what I'm saying?
Remember his last game.
So as you should with Nipsey Hussle.
Go look at his last video.
That's him. He's there.
He's singing.
That's him. He's playing.
You know what I'm saying?
Wow, thank you
both very much for your time, man.
I really appreciate that. -Man, stay focused.
Thank you.
And I wish nothing but blessings
infinity to y'all.
Alright, baby.
Blessings on your journey.
Hey, I like Melvin.
I like Melvin, too.
But Melvin is --
He probably be going through something,
you know what I'm saying, far as with the--
People take that --
People take that seriously,
and they take it hard, bro.
Yeah, because we live vicariously
through other people.
I love helping people.
Yeah.
If I can't do nothing,
then let me give it back on the phone.
And I also love receiving
help from the right people.
Yeah.

New York on the line right now.
You heard me?

[ Dial tone ]
Hi, Kevin. How's it going?
-Hello. How are you?
I'm doing well.
So, my roommate takes really
long showers every morning,
and we only have one bathroom
for three people.
We've asked her a
few times to stop,
and she's still, like, not getting it.
How else can I get through to her?
-How did you ask her to stop?
Um, we kind of just, like, told her,
"Hey, we would appreciate if
you could just, you know,
take a little bit less time
in the bathroom in the morning."
She's a little bit shorter, but, you know,
you have to wake up a lot earlier to leave.
What -- What's --
What's a long shower to you?
-Like 45 minutes.
Oh, well,
that's really a relatively short shower,
because my wife takes
three-hour showers.
It's, like, no
more hot water left after she's in it.
You know, like, the Korean spa
where they -- where they
scrub you with the scrub brush
and all that and they do all of...
-Yeah. -They exfoliate
and all of that?
-So... -Definitely.
...I know what you going through.
Just -- I'll say this.
I'd just pull
her to the side and really tell her,
"Look, this is a serious issue,"
and really be serious with her.
And -- And if -- if need be,
y'all can start putting
a stopwatch in there.
One thing
I could tell you about is that she --
You have a clean roommate,
because they have some people
that don't take showers at all.
But anyway, you talk to her about it,
and y'all try to set times
for when you can take a shower
and when she could be out of the shower.
You know,
time is everything,
you know what I'm saying?
I say -- I say get a
timer. Put a timer in there.
When the buzzer goes off,
you get your ass out.
[ Ding ] -[ Laughs ]
"We love you, but you got to get out."
'Cause if she can play music,
we can put on a timer.
Right. Oh, she play music?
Yeah. It's a whole party.
Oh, so she's not taking no shower.
She's meditating in the water.
She's having a concert in the bathroom.
Yeah, we -- Nuh-unh, we can't do that.
We can't live like this no more.
But one thing -- one good
thing about it that you know --
She washes her ass.
She's not just in that
shower, looking in the mirror.
Like Adam Sandler. "I wipe my own ass!"

Alright, I'm gonna try it
over brunch this weekend.
-Brunch.

I like that.
But Ashley probably just
want her to take a shower and go to work.
Ashley about that money.
She about her paper, you know?
'Cause you heard, she
kept talking about work.
About work.
She ain't talking about it.
She just talking about
getting the girl out of the shower,
but she just constantly talking about work.
And you could --
you could tell she care about her friend,
'cause she was like, "over brunch."
'Cause you know I'd have came out,
"Hey, we gonna talk about
this in the kitchen."
Hey, let me go piss right fast.
Man, Boobie, you got to pronounce
them -- them names
a little bit better for me, too, baby.
That's how you pronounce it?

Hey, did you ever see us doing this?
Not in a million years,

follow the details below.
But let me leave you with this.
The slower you go, the further you get.
Sometime the juice is worth the squeeze.
I just say that 'cause Key limes,
they like this big,
and you gotta squeeze the fuck
out them bitches.
But once you get that drop,
it's gonna, ha,
give you so much energy.
So sometime the juice is worth the squeeze.
Awesome.
See, when I look
in that camera, that's not a camera.
That's the woman of my dreams.
So I gotta look -- I gotta look

I gotta convey my sacred masculinity

It's just -- just, I gotta do that.
